Just then, Xiao Jingyi glanced at the two of them, then looked at Guan Yu and said, "Guan Yu, if I remember correctly, you should have some knowledge of military strategy, right?"
"My lord, although I have not studied under a famous master, I have read some books on military strategy in my spare time during my martial arts training over the years."
"Um..."
Xiao Jingyi nodded, then asked him, "If I were to put you in charge of an elite force of 5000 men, would you be confident in your abilities?"
Upon hearing this, Guan Yu was taken aback. They were given 5000 men right away?
My lord trusts me that much?!
However, he quickly regained his senses, knelt on one knee, and said excitedly, "I am deeply grateful for your high regard, my lord. I will do my utmost to train those 5000 soldiers into the elite of the elite!"
You should know that his biggest dream is to lead troops to kill the enemy, go to the battlefield, and make meritorious contributions.
Just like Zhao Yun in the Southern Territory!
"very good."
Xiao Jingyi was quite optimistic about Guan Yu's abilities, not to mention the historical records, novels, and TV dramas of the Three Kingdoms period.
Guan Yu's personal skills alone were enough to make him a commander of 5000 men.
"In that case, take this letter and secretly go to Prince Jing, who is also my sixth brother, Xiao Jingyan. He will make arrangements for you."
Xiao Jingyi took out the letter he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Guan Yu.
He then helped him up and said, "Guan Yu, I have high hopes for you. You must not disappoint me. If you do well, not to mention these mere 5000 men, I will let you command 5 or even 10 in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Guan Yu seemed to see himself leading an army of hundreds of thousands, which made him excited and his already red face turned even redder.
He immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will certainly not disappoint you!"
"it is good."
Xiao Jingyi patted Guan Yu on the shoulder and said with satisfaction.
Then he turned to Dian Wei: "Dian Wei." 490
"Your Highness, I was just tongue-tied. Please forgive me."
Upon hearing Xiao Jingyi call his name, Dian Wei, who was already afraid of him, immediately admitted his mistake without thinking twice.
He was afraid of being beaten, and more importantly, his affair with the pancake shop owner required his master's approval.
???
No, what is this idiot saying?
Xiao Jingyi originally intended to instruct Dian Wei to do some things, but upon hearing these words, he immediately formed a plan in his mind.
He coughed lightly and said, "So you know you're bad with words, will you dare to do it again next time?"
"Your Highness, I will never dare to do it again. No matter whose hand you are holding, I will never say anything like that again."
Dian Wei had no idea that he had been tricked into revealing information.
Upon hearing his words, Xiao Jingyi finally understood why Dian Wei hadn't dared to come in when he had asked him to.
It turned out that he had pulled Guan Yu into the study earlier, and Guan Yu had muttered a few words.
Although Xiao Jingyi didn't know what he was muttering, he didn't intend to delve into it.
He simply snorted, "Hmph, it's good that you understand. I'll let it go this time."
"The reason I summoned you here is to ask you if you would like to be a commander of 1 men?"
The 1 men were the army that Xiao Jingyi kept by his side.
He drew 10 random unit cards last time, and he has been distributing them to Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Gao Shun in recent days.
There were still some left on hand, plus the garrison soldiers, making a little over ten thousand.
He originally intended these 10,000 men to serve as a reserve army for three people.
But when he thought about how the Grand Commander Meng's imperial guards would definitely need to be replaced after he ascended the throne, it would be safer to replace them with his own people.
So they were temporarily stationed in a remote mountain forest outside Kyoto.
Upon hearing this, Dian Wei's eyes lit up.
It would be a lie to say he didn't want the position, not to mention that Guan Yu, who had just arrived, was already in charge of 5000 men.
He knelt down with a thud: "Your Highness, I'm illiterate and don't know how to speak eloquently, but I promise you that I will be your most loyal subordinate from now on. Whoever you tell me to beat, I will beat."
"If you ever encounter danger in the future, I will die before you rather than let anyone else touch a hair on your head."
Upon seeing this, Xiao Jingyi immediately retorted irritably, "You fool, you can't keep your mouth shut. What are you talking about, death? Do you think I'm made of clay, standing there to be killed?"
"stand up."
"Yes!"
Dian Wei scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi glanced at the two of them, feeling extremely happy.
Now he has gathered a group of generals, including Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Huang Zhong, and now Guan Yu and Dian Wei.
Each of these generals, taken individually, would easily outclass all the generals of the Great Liang.
Wen You had one-third of the officials in the imperial court, as well as local officials under Mao Xiang's control.
In addition, there are Mei Changsu, Shen Zhui, Cai Quan, and others who are all future ministers of the Six Ministries.
It can be said that its wings are gradually growing stronger.
To be frank, anything he says now carries more weight than anything Emperor Liang could say.
After discussing the matter with the two of them, Xiao Jingyi finally asked them to leave.
Stepping out of the study, Dian Wei grinned from ear to ear, glancing at Guan Yu beside him, and thinking to himself with a smug satisfaction.
The prince is still kind to the old folks, letting me lead 1 troops while Guan Yu, that newcomer next door, only has 5000.
It seems the prince still values me highly.
"Guan Yu, work hard in the future, and your lord will not treat you unfairly."
At this moment, Dian Wei patted Guan Yu on the shoulder and spoke to him in the manner of an old man.
"I, Guan, will do so. Guardian, I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
After saying this, Guan Yu turned and left without waiting for Dian Wei's reply.
"Huh? Huh!"
"You're leaving already?"
Watching Guan Yu's departing figure, Dian Wei felt rather helpless; he had planned to show off in front of Guan Yu.
...
At the same time, at Xiao Jingyi's invitation, Dongfang Bubai also rode in the Prince's carriage and arrived at the gate of the Prince's mansion.
Knowing that she was coming today, Yaoyue waited at the door early.
"Sister Yue'er, it's rare to see you personally waiting for me at the door. If I had known, I would have left later and made you wait a little longer. After all, it's not a common occurrence for you to come out and greet me."
As soon as he stepped off the carriage, Dongfang Bubai saw Yaoyue standing at the gate of the Prince's Mansion with Luohua and Xiahe, and said with a mocking expression.
Seeing this, Yaoyue rolled her eyes at her, then stepped forward and whispered, "Dongfang, put away your little schemes. If you expose my identity, I'm really ready to fight you to the death."
After saying that, Yaoyue immediately put on a happy expression, stepped forward and took Dongfang Bubai's arm, just like a very close best friend.
"Since you are coming to the Prince's Mansion as a guest, I will naturally come to welcome you early."
Well, Yaoyue, you were fighting and killing just a second ago, and now you're so kind and gentle.
As expected of a woman, she changes her expression so quickly.
Despite her complaints, Dongfang Bubai replied, "Then Sister Yue'er is very kind."
"Not at all, as the older sister, it's only natural that I should take good care of her."
The two of them then entered the Prince's residence after exchanging a few words.
"Greetings, Fifth Madam."
"Greetings, Fifth Madam."
"Greetings, Fifth Madam."
As she walked along, the servants and maids of the Prince's mansion greeted Yaoyue one after another.
Upon hearing the way these people addressed her, Dongfang Bubai seemed to have discovered something and said incredulously, "Sister Yue'er, they just called you... Fifth Madam?!"
Thinking of a certain possibility, Dongfang Bubai swallowed hard.
Looking at Yaoyue's exquisite face, it was as if she had heard some kind of fairy tale.
No way, no way.
With such a beautiful woman as Yaoyue, why doesn't he pamper her properly? He actually has other women?!
"Put away your naive attitude. I am the fifth wife of the Prince's mansion, the fifth woman Xiao Lang married. What, you have a problem with that?"
"What?! You can actually tolerate sharing men?!"
"Seriously? You can really tolerate something like this? Five women fighting over one man."
Looking at Yaoyue in front of her, Dongfang Bubai felt a sense of unfamiliarity, so unfamiliar that she could not believe that this was Yaoyue.
You should know that Yaoyue is a woman just as proud as she is!
Being able to date and get married is already unbelievable.
Now, Yaoyue is telling her that she is still serving one man along with four other women.
What exactly is the merit or ability of this Xiao Jingyi?
Upon hearing this, Yaoyue shook her head: "How could that be?"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Bubai breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew you wouldn't. Did you secretly kill them all?"
"No, what I mean is that Xiao Lang has more than 5 women. There are thirteen wives in the Prince's mansion now, and I am the fifth one."
!!!
Yaoyue's words struck Dongfang Bubai like a bolt from the blue, leaving him stunned and frozen in place.
If these words hadn't come from Yaoyue's own mouth, she would never have believed them to be true.
The dignified mistress of Yihua Palace, a notorious female demon of the Ming Dynasty.
She not only got married, but she married a prince who had thirteen wives.
What's even more terrifying is that it wasn't her who invited Yue to become the powerful one?!
This is insane! This is insane!
This world must be insane!
In an instant, Dongfang Bubai felt his worldview collapsing.
"Don't make such a fuss."
Seeing that Dongfang Bubai was stunned, Yaoyue could only roll her eyes at her: "What kind of behavior is this, shouting like this? If someone finds out and exposes my identity, I will definitely not let you off easily."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Bubai coughed lightly, finally recovering from his astonishment: "No, Sister Yue'er, what are you trying to achieve by doing this?"
"You're not exactly of low status, are you? Why would you be willing to share with someone else and settle for being a concubine?"
"What kind of sorcery did this Xiao Jingyi use on you?"
Dongfang Bubai waved to Yaoyue, then poked her arm, as if trying to confirm whether the person in front of him was still Yaoyue.
"Don't poke around, there's no such thing as sorcery."
Seeing this, Yaoyue rolled her eyes at Dongfang Bubai, then her face lit up with happiness: "I am following Xiao Lang willingly. He is the best man I have ever met in the world."
"vomit."
Dongfang Bubai made a gesture as if he was about to vomit, then pursed his lips, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Yaoyue's words.
