Chapter 343: Fifty Green Coins

"Damn... I cross mountains and rivers every day, and there are poisonous insects everywhere. I am already exhausted. I have to drink a sip of water but I have to pay attention to who he thinks he is, or the prince and grandson who live in the city.

Miao Zhongliang cursed and looked back.

The five-foot road circled back and forth, and it was rugged and difficult. It took Ye Chang's 30,000 soldiers to arrive at the Nanning Prefecture Governor's Office from Ma'an Ferry. These soldiers had suffered defeats and had low morale and had not yet been fully rested, so they came to do this long journey again. Along the way, the morale of the army was depressed. If Ye Chang's personal soldiers were not strong enough, they would have fled long ago.

Even though Ye Chang tried every effort, he had to rest and recuperate when he arrived in Nanning Prefecture and could not move west immediately.

Ye Chang knew very well that epidemics were prone to infection during the marching were related to the inadequate hygiene at this time. Therefore, he was very tightly concerned about the soldiers' dietary hygiene. He did not force training, but instead ate, took food, drink, defecation and urination, almost every day.

For example, every marching place, you have to dig a marching pit, and all your urine and defecation must be solved in the marching pit. If you dare to be in the water source or in the fields, you will have to be punished. If you do some miscellaneous things at the smallest time, you will be served by the marquis. For example, Miao Zhongliang, because he urinated by the stream, he was taken to Ye Chang and slapped the five armies with a stick.

"Who makes others an official? You are a soldier? If you are not convinced, you can pull that kid down and beat the five army sticks." The person who came to fetch water with Miao Zhongliang was still a punished sergeant named Guan Gao, he murmured.

The water was brought from the mountain stream. They wanted to pour it into a large marching pot and then boil it. Anyone who dared to drink it will be punished before the water boils.

"You said that our ambassador, have you been a young man for a long time, will he fight?"

"I don't look like a war-capable person. Don't be so scared that he peed his pants as soon as he goes to the battlefield... Wow, I don't know if he can still be so majestic at that time."

Both of them were talking aroused and they both started to laugh.

"cough"

Just when Miao Zhongliang was about to say something, he heard a cough behind him. When the two of them looked back, they saw Cai Ming, a battalion reporter in the army, walked over with his hands behind his back.

The two of them frowned and stopped talking. Everyone knew that Mr. Cai was invited by Ambassador Ye. Even if they were not Ambassador Ye's confidant, their relationship was extraordinary. If he had just heard what he said and sued him, they would have to be the leader.

This situation made Cai Ming quite worried: Wang Zhongsi said that Ambassador Ye was acting with great brilliance, but why was he so reckless here like a young man who had just started fighting?

According to the rules he had been under Wang Zhongsi's tent, he patroled the camp three times a day. When he heard the soldiers' conversations, he found that he complained and complained more and more day by day, and his resentment was getting bigger and bigger. In addition, Ye Chang's seemingly unreliable military rules, the possibility of mutiny will become greater and greater if this continues.

"Let's go and find Ambassador Ye and talk... If you don't say it, you won't be able to do it. The army will be like this. If he doesn't listen,

Cai Ming was a little hesitant. If Ye Chang didn't listen, what should he do?

He was not a decisive person, so he was just a staff member of the custody of the documents under Wang Zhongsi. When he came to Ye Chang's side, he also used his talents to calculate his talents and recorded the military Chinese documents. It just so happened that Li Bai was a little unscrupulous in his daily documents.

He said this, which made Ye Chang smile on his face.

Cai Ming is indeed a good talker. Wang Zhongsi recommended him over. He must be afraid that Ye Chang would be very arrogant and win many times, so he was a little arrogant.

Wang Zhongsi is a man who is dedicated to the country, but unfortunately, he cannot use him for the time being.

"Mr. Zhihua said, let's rest here for five days. After five days, I will personally Buji and then send troops."

"Five days..."

Cai Ming's mouth squirmed for a moment, and finally said nothing. With the current morale of the military, how can five days be enough?

Although Ye Chang also carried out some rectification of this army, the time was still short, and he had just failed before, and his morale was unstable. Not to mention five days, even ten days and half a month, it would not be possible to regain the hearts of the soldiers of this army.

According to Cai Ming's experience, it is at least a month to rectify. During this month, Ye Chang had to eat and live with the soldiers, ask about their sufferings, and know their character, so that he could barely command them during the war.

But now Ye Chang is in a state of excitement, and it is not the time to persuade him, so Cai Ming had to follow Wang Tianyun to leave the account.

After coming out, Wang Tianyun glanced at him, paused and sighed: "Cai Yingji is a good thing, but our military envoy does not look reliable."

"Maybe Ambassador Ye has his own plans..."

"I have my own plans? What can I do in just five days? Unless the help of ghosts and gods, what other means can he have to restore the unstable morale of the army? This time, the attack on the barbarians was originally meant to be slow or anxious, and I don't know what he was thinking..."

When Wang Tianyun said this, he remembered something in his heart. It was rumored that Ambassador Ye had just gotten married a few days ago. Could it be that he was thinking of finishing this battle earlier and going back to hug the beauty?

Of course, this can only be hidden in my heart, but I dare not say it.

During the five days, Ye Chang was busy running around the camp, especially the military doctors he brought, built a military doctor hall in the army. They had excellent medical skills and were very heartless. A rumor gradually spread among the soldiers: this young Ye Junma envoy was said to have been taught magical skills by immortals, and those military doctors with excellent skills were his disciples.

"By relying solely on these military doctors, it is probably not enough for the soldiers to return home." Seeing this, Cai Ming thought to himself: "We still have to persuade you, don't rush to go to war."

But these days, he was so busy that he was too busy to rest. Five days passed in a blink of an eye. When he was about to leave, when he wanted to persuade him again, he saw Ye Chang excitedly: "I heard that there was a memorial monument erected after Zhuge Kongming surrendered Meng Huo. Kong Ming's generation was a hero who died and became a god. Today, the army was about to be sent. I will go to worship him to seek protection from Zhuge Kongming's spirit in heaven."

"Ah?" Cai Ming was stunned when he heard Ye Chang not asking for soldiers and ghosts.

He came to his senses and was waiting for his hard advice, but Li Bai next to him grabbed him: "Don't worry, Ye Shiyi's actions have always been based on some basis."

"But no matter how well there is a basis, you cannot put your hope on ghosts and gods."

"Let's see if there is something wrong with him. I will persuade you with you." Li Bai also felt something was wrong at this time and said immediately.

The monument of the memorial erected by Ye Chang for sacrifice to Zhuge Liang was not brought to the whole army with a few people, but informed the entire army. Zhuge Liang's monument of the memorial erected in Wei County. Now, because hundreds of years have passed, although the monument is still there, the county has been changed, and the monument has been moved to a temple. The temple is empty and wide. Ye Chang placed the army in the distance and led thousands of people to the temple for worship. After a while, he made a tribute of four pairs. The soldiers seemed very excited to see him dancing and roaring, and they all felt a little strange.

"Do you think our general is like writing a spirit writing?" Miao Zhongliang couldn't help but ask in a low voice when he saw this.

"There is a bit of a look. I heard that he had received guidance from immortals." Guan Gao said suspiciously: "Is it because he really has some magical skills that can get help from ghosts and gods? If he really gets help from ghosts and gods and can get the protection of Prime Minister Zhuge, then there will be no worries about this battle."

Most of them were from Jiannan Shu. People from Jiannan Shu liked to worship and respected ghosts and gods, and Zhuge Liang had a great influence on it. Ye Chang's actions were considered to be his preference, but generals like Wang Tianyun still disagreed when they saw this scene.

Although the soldiers would be somewhat close to him because Ye Chang respected Kong Ming, they could expect that they would be supported by the entire army in a moment unless Zhuge Liang really appeared.

Wang Tianyun was thinking this way. Ye Chang burned the tribute and seemed to be very excited. He climbed up to the high place and shouted: "I know you don't agree with this campaign in Nanzhao, especially Xianyu Zhongtong was incompetent before, which led to defeat. You have suffered this setback. You only think that our army will be like this, but don't worry, I am completely different from Xianyu Zhongtong."

But no one believed him, but instead made the morale that had just risen a little. After all, it was unreasonable to say something, and if you can't come up with something practical, how can you obey?

Ye Chang seemed not to realize this, and he shouted loudly: "If you don't say anything else, I will be blessed by ghosts and gods. Even Zhuge Kongming's spirit in heaven will help me... Don't you believe it?"

Everyone whispered, some laughed silently, but in short, he looked like a clown. Ye Chang seemed anxious, and raised his arms and shouted: "Since you don't believe it, let the gods decide whether it's auspicious or unlucky to go on the expedition... Come and get money for divination."

Shanzhi turned around and left. Li Bai panicked here and stepped forward and said, "Ambassador, the saying of ghosts and gods is nothingness and ethereal, so it should not be like this."

Cai Ming next to him was also anxious: "If it is not auspicious, it will hurt my morale. Ambassador, please think twice."

Ye Chang smiled and said confidently: "I am on the order of the emperor to punish the people and punish the crimes, and I will be blessed by God. Don't worry... Okay, the money is here."

Shanzhi brought a cloth bag, which was full of green coins. Ye Chang took out one and showed it in front of everyone, with one word on the other, and on the other side of flowers. Then he shouted: "There are fifty green coins here. If the gods bless me, our army will win this time, then all the fifty green coins will be upward. If one is a flower face, the ghosts and gods will warn me, and I will withdraw my troops and return to the army."

As soon as this sentence came out, let alone Li Bai and Cai Ming, even Wang Tianyun was anxious and shouted no. But it was too late. Ye Chang poured the cloth bag and all fifty green coins fell down.

Everyone's eyes were immediately focused on the lost money. Although it was impossible for everyone to be here for 30,000 people, at least thousands of soldiers around him saw it.
