The weather today is very cold, and you can breathe out white air when you open your mouth, but the sun is not bad, and the sun can still make people squint.
Shen Yu stood under the shade of the tree, looking at the group of undisciplined recruits from a distance.
Xiao Chuan was complaining to her, and Shen Yu listened. She knew it was not easy for Xiao Chuan. In the past few months, she was either in Luozhou or on the road. Things here were beyond her reach, so she left them all to Xiao Chuan.
"How many recruits are there?" Shen Yu asked.
"Twelve thousand, plus our original five thousand people, it will be seventeen thousand."
Shen Yu lowered her eyes and looked at Xiao Chuan who was eating steamed buns, "You have never led so many soldiers, have you?"
Xiao Chuan raised his head and said, "I never brought it with me."
The man aspires to the West, and he is grateful to Shen Yu, knowing that Shen Yu is training him and giving him a chance.
No one else could ask for such an opportunity. It was impossible to have such an opportunity without spending more than ten years in the military camp and achieving military exploits.
"If you're leading troops, you have to polish them." Shen Yu said, "The edges and corners have to be smoothed out for them, leaving behind the blood."
"How to grind it?" Xiao Chuan asked.
He was several years older than Shen Yu, but he couldn't compare to her, and he was convinced of this.
Shen Yu smiled slightly and said, "When you were in the camp, how did your father punish you?"
Xiao Chuan was thoughtful and seemed to understand a little bit.
Shen Yu sighed: "It's not easy, just take your time."
Xiao Chuan stood up after swallowing the last mouthful of steamed buns and glanced sideways at Shen Yu.
She was wearing women's clothes today, with a white fox fur sent by Changliu. She was petite and her skin was healthy white. Her appearance was very outstanding among the ladies of Shengjing, but she looked a little out of place in the military camp.
The gang of soldiers and gangsters secretly glanced here from time to time. After all, she was the princess and they didn't dare to look at her openly.
Xiao Chuan hesitated to speak, but it was difficult to say some words, so he swallowed them back.
"Is General Han at the school grounds?" Shen Yu asked.
"Ah, yes." Xiao Chuan was stunned for a moment before saying.
Shen Yu said, "I'll go talk to him about expanding the school grounds, and you can go about your business."
Although she is the princess of Beilin, matters in the military camp should still be handled according to the rules, and the following will be coordinated and reported before reporting.
Xiao Chuan sat under the tree for a while, calculated that it was almost time, and asked someone to notify the troops for training.
The announcement was over, and when it was time to assemble, the school grounds were sparsely crowded. From time to time, people walked over slowly, looking for their place in the crowd.
Xiao Chuan watched calmly. Two moments had passed before the assembly time, and everyone had not arrived yet.
Xiao Chuan walked up to the general ordering platform and said, "Report the number of people!"
I reported the number of people below, but there were still more than 300 people missing.
This has happened more than once, and Xiao Chuan knows where those people are.
"Go and drag those people out! If they can't get up, pour cold water on me to wake them up."
More than 300 people were brought to the school grounds. Many of them had just been pulled out of their beds and were standing around in a daze. Some of their clothes were soaked.
He didn't stand well and his soldiers didn't look like soldiers, which made Xiao Chuan feel angry.
"Everyone! Run ten laps around the school grounds, fifteen of those who are late, and twenty of those who are caught by me!"
A burst of dissatisfied wailing suddenly sounded in the school field.
One of them, soaked all over, yelled: "Why? We came to join the army to kill the enemy. All we have to do is run around and carry sandbags. It's useless."
The gang of soldiers and ruffians were also angry at first, and they also followed suit below.
There was a prick who couldn't stand it any longer. He didn't think much of Xiao Chuan, so he took advantage of the crowd to be emboldened and vented all his anger.
"Commander Xiao, we came to join the army for the Qingyun Guards. Who knew we were here for this? It's normal for brothers to have opinions in their hearts."
"Qingyun Guards?" Xiao Chuan pointed to the other side of the Qingyun Guards' training ground and said, "Look at them, and then see if you are worthy of it! Qingyun Guards run thirty miles with a heavy load every day, and you are tired after running ten miles. You dare to mention Qingyun Guard to me."
"Then what's going on?" Ci'ertou said, "They are the soldiers brought out by the prince, but what about us?"
Xiao Chuan: "What happened to us?"
The thorny head said: "General Xiao is not afraid of jokes for following a woman, but don't drag the brothers along with him to embarrass himself. We want to follow the prince to the battlefield, not follow a woman to learn tricks and embroidery."
The person next to him pulled him, and Ci'ertou knew that he was referring to the princess when he opened his mouth and closed his mouth to a woman. He felt that he had gone too far, but he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. After all, what he said was the truth.
"You don't look down on women, do you?" Xiao Chuan said coldly: "Who here is not a mother-in-law? Stand up for me!"
No one came out below, but in the commotion, someone inside said: "How can this be the same? Just because we are mothers, it doesn't mean that we have to take orders from a woman."
"Yeah." "That's right."
The people below took advantage of the strength of the crowd, and their words became more and more unpleasant, "General Xiao, his legs are weak in front of women, don't drag us together."
"What benefits have you gained from others? We are not happy to chase after you and lick your butt."
Xiao Chuan was furious, "Who? Who the hell said that? Stand up for me!"
There was a buzz down there, but no one came forward. There was actually someone who, taking advantage of the crowd, could not be noticed, secretly said: "Don't let anyone tell you if you dare to do it."
Xiao Chuan has heard many people gossiping behind his back, saying that Xiao Chuan is a weakling who takes orders from a woman.
He also said that the two of them had an affair behind each other, and they followed a woman all the way from Shengjing to Beilin, leaving their official duties in Beijing.
He could hear it, but the words could not reach Xie Tingzhou's ears.
He had hesitated to say anything to Shen Yu before, just because he wanted to say this, but it was difficult to speak.
After Shen Yu and Han Jiwu talked about the expansion of the school ground, they ran into this commotion when they came out.
Han Jiwu's face turned livid when he heard this, but Shen Yu was calm and turned to Han Jiwu and said, "General Han, go and get busy."
Shen Yu walked that way.
As she approached, the soldiers also noticed her, and everyone's voices gradually stopped. The real Princess Beilin only gossiped about people behind their backs, and no one dared to say it to their faces.
The school grounds were extremely quiet, with only the sound of Qingyun Guards training on the other side.
Shen Yu slowly walked up to the general stage and saw Xiao Chuan's cheeks turned red and he was breathing heavily.
"Princess." Xiao Chuan said.
Shen Yu nodded slightly but did not rebuke.
Anyone would be angry if they were pointed at and scolded like this. She understood Xiao Chuan.
Shen Yu stood still on the general stage, glanced at everyone with a calm gaze, and said calmly: "I am here today. If you have any opinions and dissatisfaction, let's talk about it. Let's solve it one by one."
The audience was completely silent. The soldiers and ruffians who had been talking plausibly just now were all turned into quails at this moment.
Shen Yu smiled lightly, "What? Just now, everyone was talking plausibly, but now they are speechless? Just say it."
Someone below finally couldn't help it anymore and said: "You are the princess, how dare we say anything, otherwise our heads will fall off if we say the wrong thing."
"What you just said was very good, and your heads are still hanging firmly around your neck."
Shen Yu paced on the stage and said, "If you don't say it, then I will do it. You don't look down on me. It's okay. This matter can be solved easily today. We are all soldiers. Whoever has a stronger fist will be the one." It’s up to you.”
The head of the assassin said: "You are the princess of Beilin now. Who dares to really fight with you? Aren't they afraid that the Qingyun Guards will come and crush us?"
"Don't you dare to take action?" Shen Yu's voice suddenly turned cold. "You don't dare to take action but you only dare to speak. What's the matter? You have learned the trick of a gentleman who speaks but does not take action and applied it to the military camp? A group of grown men gathered together and chatted. , but she is more talkative than the housewife I saw in Shengjing, my eyes have been opened today."
