The early spring morning breeze was cool, but the soldiers who had been practicing in the school field for a long time still couldn't help but sweat. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 When it was finally time to eat, the dense soldiers on the school field gradually dispersed, and Lu Meng was about to return to his camp when he saw the coach Cen Qiu striding towards him.

He hurriedly greeted him with a smile, no suitable rudeness, "Cen Shuai, why are you here." ”

Cen Qiu knew that the emperor was impressed by him, and he would definitely be promoted to an official position this time, so his tone was also very polite, "The emperor wants to see you, and now you follow this Defu father-in-law to the imperial camp to meet you." ”

Although Lu Meng is usually bold, after all, he is going to meet the emperor, and he can't help but be a little surprised, "How could the emperor... How can you see a lowly position, this..."

Cen Qiu smiled and waved his hand, interrupting him, "The Emperor Shicai personally came to the school to inspect the soldiers, and inadvertently noticed you. You used to be, and don't worry. ”

Lu Mengrao is a man, and his face suddenly turned red. He has always been unscrupulous when he was training, and if the emperor listened to those rough words, it would be a shame for him.

"Go, go, go." Cen Qiu urged him repeatedly, and Lu Meng reluctantly followed Defu away.

The emperor walked around the school in the morning, and he was in a much happier mood, in the final analysis, because he had found a good general seedling, if there were a few more generals like Lu Meng, why worry about disturbing the border every year? Why worry about Murong Jing and other rebellious ministers and thieves?

"Your Majesty, General Lu is already waiting outside."

The emperor immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said, "Announce him in." ”

Lu Meng knew that there were big rules before the royal drive, so he buried his head and walked in all the way, and greeted the boss as usual, "See the emperor for your humble position, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

"Flat." The emperor immediately felt that this rough man was very interesting, obviously he was a wanton and free person, but he insisted on guarding the etiquette in front of him, "I often walked in the barracks before I ascended the throne, you don't have to be so restrained in front of me, General Lu." ”

Lu Meng was a little flattered, "The humble position is only a thousand households, and I can't afford to be called a 'general', so the emperor has promoted it." ”

"I know you're a thousand households, but that's Cen Qiu's order. Now that I am willing to give you the position of general, do you dare to accept it or not? The emperor's face was solemn, and it was clear that he was serious.

When Lu Meng heard the word "general", his eyes lit up like a rabbit that had been hungry for many days and saw a radish, but he still didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of the emperor, and said humbly, "I am not good at martial arts, and I have no experience in commanding the army, so I don't dare to accept such a grace rashly." However, the people on the battlefield should kill the enemy in blood, and they are willing to be the vanguard, and cut off the heads of the enemy generals to raise the prestige of our army. ”

"Just one striker will satisfy you?" Yuwen Che showed disdain on his face, and clearly said to him, "I want to crown you as General Zuo, and in the future, I will fight with Rouran and lead the Left Army." ”

"Never!" Lu Meng's face was embarrassed, he was also a little famous in the garrison of Chang'an Mansion, if he really arrived at the northern military camp, he was afraid that he would not be convinced. It's just that he didn't dare to tell the emperor about his worries.

"Although you are from a grass court, since you have returned to the government, I don't care about my criminal record." The Emperor stood up from the table and walked towards him. Although Lu Meng was stronger than him, he was not as tall as him. The Emperor patted him on the shoulder, "Well, fame in the barracks needs to be built up slowly. If I rashly allow you to be the position of General Zuo, it will be difficult to truly convince the hearts of the people. When you arrive in the north, you are under the command of the right battalion, and you can find Zhou Ying to sign up. ”

Jumping from a thousand households to the general of the right battalion in the north is already Longen. The emperor was also worried that he would not be able to gain people's hearts for a while, so he let him start from the bottom. With military merit, everything is easy to say.

I hurried day and night, and finally arrived in Liangzhou City on the sixteenth day after leaving the capital. Looking at the desert from the Liangzhou city wall, I felt at a loss. The official road is sparsely populated, all because Ganzhou City has fallen into the hands of the enemy.

Ganzhou City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but in recent years, it has been broken twice by the Rouran barbarians, which is really a shame for the Central Plains. In the battle two years ago, Song Kang was finally trained to be a handsome man who guarded the border, so that the Rouran people did not dare to attack rashly. However, in the recent disaster of the party, because the Song Mansion lost power, it had to be imprisoned.

Although Zhou Ying is quite talented, after so many years, he is no longer old. Northern Xinjiang urgently needs a general who can deter the enemy army to be stationed permanently to protect the people of the two states from invasion. And in Lu Meng, Yu Wenche seems to have seen hope.

"Ganzhou is surrounded by mountains, and the terrain of the East City Gate is low, which is extremely difficult to break. When they captured the city the year before last, they had to go around the mountains, and the people of Rouran should know this strategy, so they guarded the mountains in the north more and more tightly. The local general pointed to the city on the sand table and explained them one by one.

Zhou Ying was surprised to see that the emperor had been staring at the east city gate, "How is the emperor going to deal with the enemy?" ”

The emperor moved his eyes and said in a deep voice, "You don't have to think of any more schemes, Rouran will definitely defend Ganzhou and try to drag down our army." Although Ganzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it does not mean that it will not be captured. ”

The generals smacked a little meaning, the emperor probably wanted to attack.

"Dawn is the most weary time, and no matter how much they try to guard against it, they can't resist the drowsiness that comes from the waves. Before the end of the day, all the arrangements were arranged, and the city tower was attacked in the shortest possible time. ”

“…”

"Ganzhou and Liangzhou are far apart, if you want to launch an attack in Mao, start from Liangzhou in Zishi, and take this city in one go!"

Many generals looked at each other, and even Zhou Ying couldn't help frowning, as if the emperor was thinking too much about this battle.

After the generals dispersed, the emperor left Zhou Ying to talk in the imperial camp. Zhou Ying is getting older and older, two years ago, he didn't have so much gray hair on his sideburns, but now he is silver-haired.

"The north has been quite uneven in the past few years, after this battle, you are ready to go back to the capital to retire!" The emperor couldn't bear it in the end, and it was Zhou Ying who persuaded him to give up looking for Anyang and return to Beijing, so that he would vent his grievances on him. Later, Zhou Ying guarded the northern frontier for nearly ten years and made outstanding contributions. Originally, he was going to let him go back to Beijing to retire the year before last, but he was bound to say what he said about giving up Su Wanqing, which once again made him resentful.

"Lao Ji is in the bush, and his ambitions are thousands of miles. The emperor doesn't look at the gray hair of the ministers, in fact, his body is still strong, and he can serve Daxia for a few years. Zhou Ying refused with a smile.

The emperor felt that he seemed to be angry, and snorted coldly, "Compare yourself to Cao Mengde? You don't look at him, he is not a great cause, but he is dead. What's more, in the prosperous era of Great Xia, your ambitions don't have to be so far-reaching. This northern border, I will choose a good general to hold onto. ”

"I'm afraid that the old minister will disappoint the emperor again. A few days ago, old friends in the DPRK and China sent a message, and the old minister knew that Su Niangniang, who offended a few years ago, turned out to be the princess of Anyang back then! ”
