Chapter 7: Show Your Mind
In the evening, night fell, and in Yuan Xi's study, a slightly dim light illuminated the various places. Yuan Xi and Jiao Chu sat together.
Yuan Xi's expression was a little difficult to see: "That is to say, there are currently less than 1,000 soldiers in my Iron Guard Camp, and the eldest brother's Xuanjia Army and the third brother's Tiger Roar Camp have no less than 3,000 people."
"Not bad, and in addition to the strong support from the treasury, they also have the help of the great gentry in Yecheng. They are very well-equipped. If we fight them with our current strength, the chance of victory is very slim." Jiao Chu said seriously.
A surprise flashed in Yuan Xi's eyes. After a careful look at Jiao Touch's data, he was surprised to find that Jiao Touch's intelligence value had actually increased from 45 to 50. It seems that these generals also need to be cultivated. There are indeed natural good generals in the world, but it still depends on years of experience and experience accumulation.
"Zhongsheng, when did I say I would be an enemy of my eldest brother? My third brother?" Yuan Xi asked softly.
Jiao Chu's face suddenly faded, and he suddenly took a few steps back and knelt on the ground, kowtowed sincerely, "Second Young Master, you value love and righteousness, and you are superb in martial arts. I will admire you from the bottom of my heart and hope to follow the Second Young Master forever. But if the Second Young Master does not have any expectations for the throne, then I will ask the Second Young Master to let me leave. If you have the Second Young Master, then Jiao Chu is willing to follow you forever and never dies."
Yuan Xi's pupils shrank, and he found that the loyalty value, which was already as high as 85, began to flash, emitting red light, and seemed to undergo huge changes at any time. In troubled times, the king chose his ministers, and the ministers also chose his kings. If the king did not yearn for a great journey and was content with the status quo, then what goal would he have to strive for?
Yuan Xi felt a little touched and praised softly: "Okay, what a Zhongsheng, it is a blessing to have a minister like you."
Jiao Chu immediately raised his head and shouted with emotion on his face: "Lord!"
As soon as these two words were released, Jiao Tu's loyalty value instantly reached 90, and even his intelligence rose to 60, and he officially gained the resources of a good general.
"Get up quickly, get up quickly." Yuan Xi waved his hand gently.
After the two expressed their feelings, their relationship became much closer. The loyalty value of 90 also allowed Yuan Xi to talk to Jiao Tu with peace of mind.
"Zhongsheng, you also know that my father doesn't pay any attention to me at all. He only has the eldest brother and the third brother in his heart. If we want to develop, we must rush out. It doesn't matter where it is. Only our ministers work together can definitely create a big career."
Jiao Tu nodded in agreement, "Young Master said it well. If the young master performs a little well in Yecheng, he will definitely be locked by the other two young masters and cannot develop?"
"Yes! But there are opportunities. I have received news that after my father unifies the four continents, he will send us descendants one by one to protect his territory. As my legitimate son, he will definitely go out. So the most important thing now is to keep a low profile, so that the eldest brother and third brother cannot feel the threat, and let me go with peace of mind." Yuan Xi said seriously.
"Don't worry, my son, I will definitely take good care of the Iron Guard Camp." Hearing this, Jiao Chu hurriedly promised.
"It's not just about managing them well, but also actively training them. In a small number, we will adopt elite strategies and strive to train them all into elite soldiers. This is our only force at present, and we must grasp them well, especially the sergeant commanders, commanders, military marquises and others below you must firmly grasp them in your hands. Those who have a dual intention will be driven out," Yuan Xi instructed.
"I understand, after I go back, make arrangements immediately."
"Okay, I will go to the military camp to work in a few days and give them some comfort. Although our Tiewei camp does not have the resources for the Xuanjia Army and the Hu Xiao Camp for the time being, I, the General of the Xuanwei Army and the legitimate son of the Yuan family, are still willing to give them the best treatment," Yuan Xi said with a smile.
"Thank you, young master," Jiao Chu quickly thanked him.
Yuan Xi nodded, looked up and found that it was pitch black outside. He whispered: "It's getting late, you go back early, remember, keep your time, and wait for the opportunity."
"Yes!" Jiao Tu responded loudly, and when he got up and walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "Young Master, I plan to apologize to Lord Ju tomorrow."
Yuan Xi immediately laughed and said with relief: "Okay, very good."
After Jiao Chu left, Yuan Xi picked up a bamboo slip on the table that recorded the humanities and geography of the four continents. I don’t know why. Although he did not inherit the memories of his previous life, he knew all the traditional Chinese characters of this era, as if they were reflected in the instincts in the body, and it was clear at a glance.
At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Zhen Mi walked in with a bowl of sweet soup and said carelessly: "Husband, you must pay attention to rest."
"It's okay, my body is now strong like a cow, and I'm not tired at all," Yuan Xi said proudly.
"How could there be such a metaphor?" Zhen Mi couldn't help but look blank.
After picking up the sweet soup, Yuan Xi asked, "How is the situation when you go to the General's Mansion today?"
Hearing this, Zhen Mi immediately lowered her head and said sadly: "My mother likes Jade Guanyin very much. She is also very concerned about her husband's illness and allows you to rest more. But outside of the words, she still wants to ask her husband to help her third brother. She never thought about your situation. She is all her son, why should she treat it so differently?"
"Is that?" Yuan Xi smiled indifferently, looked at Zhen Mi's expression and comforted softly: "Mi'er, don't be sad. We don't rely on anyone, just rely on ourselves."
Zhen Mi suddenly raised her head, and her beautiful face was full of seriousness: "Husband, do you want to compete with your eldest brother and third brother for the position of that prince?"
Yuan Xi was stunned and smiled and said, "Mi'er, you don't have to worry about this, just live a peaceful life."
"No, as my husband's wife, how can I not know my husband's ambition?" Zhen Mi's eyes were very firm.
After the two looked at each other for a while, Yuan Xi said in a gentle tone: "If someone wants to use power to force me to hand over you Mi'er, then I will want the highest position of my husband. I am just a prince, I don't want it."
Zhen Mi was shocked all over, tears appeared in her eyes, and she was extremely moved and rushed into Yuan Xi's arms, and said emotionally: "Husband, Mi'er will never leave you."
After Yuan Xi took a look, he was shocked to find that Zhen Mi's loyalty to him had reached 99, only one step away from the full range. This level has reached the point where he is willing to lose his life and must also ensure his loyalty to Yuan Xi.
"Good Mi'er, my husband won't let you down," Yuan Xi promised firmly.
Zhen Mi nodded, quietly wiped away her tears, and looked up and said, "Since my husband has such ambition, Mi'er will definitely help with everything. I may not be able to help the rest, but Mi'er must find a way to bring the entire Zhen family under her husband's command."
"Zhen Family" Yuan Xi said unexpectedly.
"Yes, although our Zhen family is not a member of the gentry and has few officials, he has rich assets and is as rich as a country. His father has written to his uncle many times to ask him to invest in disaster relief. With the help of the Zhen family, it will be much easier for his husband to form an army in the future," Zhen Mi said softly.
"That's right, but will the Zhen family listen to you?" Yuan Xi asked suspiciously.
Hearing this, Zhen Mi's face suddenly showed a hint of pride, "You don't know anything about my husband. Since the Taoist calculated that I had the queen's fate and was extremely noble, I still have a high status in the Zhen family. My uncle loves me very much, and he usually listens to what I say."
