To tell the truth, Ye Fu's level is still good.

The quilt was unfolded and folded again, and it didn't take much time in total. Xiong Tingbi looked at it, but felt breathtaking.

In so many years, this is the first time he has seen someone who can fold the quilt so well. It is angular and square, and it is pleasing to the eye wherever it is placed.

Ye Fu put the folded quilt back in place, climbed onto the bed, and opened the curtain of the two-layer wooden frame on the bed to Xiong Tingbi.

I saw that in the curtain, there were round basins and towels on the lower shelf, and a set of neatly folded military uniforms were placed on the upper shelf. On the top floor of the shelf, where there is no curtain, there is a row of hats.

After showing Xiong Tingbi, Ye Fu got down from the bunk and said to Xiong Tingbi: "Our rules, even if there is an enemy attack at night, or an urgent task, you need to assemble urgently, this quilt must be folded like this." ”

"Oh?" Xiong Tingbi was a little puzzled, and looked at the soldiers, but found that they didn't seem to have heard. Standing like a wooden stake, it is a trivial matter not to say a word, and I moved my eyes just now, but now I don't even move my eyes much. His eyes were fixed on the face of the person opposite, as if he wanted to burn a hole in the face of the person opposite. He thought about it for a moment and asked, "Isn't that a waste of time?" ”

Ye Fu shook his head and said, "Dashuai, you don't know. Far from being a waste of time, it's a life-saving rule! ”

Seeing that Xiong Tingbi couldn't understand, Ye Fu simply explained: "I was born in a humble position and didn't accept it at night, and when I was out to investigate, no one knew what it was to take a step forward, or whether someone would secretly cut off my head when I slept at night, it was possible to meet the enemy all the time." Therefore, it is a habit to develop a habit of being lowly and at any time, the things that should be used must be prepared in the most convenient place at hand. Naturally, this is also the case in military training. ”

Xiong Tingbi listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

Ye Fu continued: "Even if you gather urgently at night, it is not necessarily an enemy attack, even if it is an enemy attack, it does not necessarily need to be pursued, or you need to leave immediately. But in all things, be prepared. So, here's a rule for me. From time to time, organize drills for emergency gatherings. At any time, as soon as the whistle for the emergency assembly sounds, half an hour later, the whole brigade must be assembled. All student equipment needs to be worn neatly, not only the hat, uniform, socks, and boots are neatly worn, but also crossbows, arrows, daggers, and sabers are worn on the side according to the regulations. Also, bring a quilt, a water bladder, and a shoulder bag. The quilt must be folded before it can be tied up and carried on the body. The water in the bladder must be full whenever it is assembled. The satchel should be equipped with a certain amount of dry food, needles and threads, and spare fabrics. In addition, each squad has to have a tent. ”

In this way, it is trained and habits are formed. No matter what time it is, the entire brigade assembles and moves quickly. Before the enemy could react, we were ready for a long run. Be prepared and be safe, this is also the truth that Mr. Xu taught to humble positions. ”

"You!" Xiong Tingbi smiled and shook his head, "Don't be humble anymore!" You always say that you, Mr. Xu, taught you, but in fact? You came up with it yourself, maybe it doesn't have much to do with him, right? Okay, let's go, it's too late today, what's the matter, I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Okay, let's arrange accommodation for the adults." Ye Fu hurriedly led the way.

It's not slow, but it still seems a little preoccupied.

Xiong Tingbi followed him for a while, and then suddenly said, "I know what you're worried about!" Ye Shoubei, you don't have to worry! In the eyes of my officer, the wide defense line is also the top priority of defense. Originally, I was going to give you enough money, food, and men to let you do a good job of border defense and do big things! Until now, I think you're quite pleasing to the eye. Don't let me down. Tomorrow morning, come with me to inspect the city defenses, see the city walls, the repair of the trenches, and the drills of the garrison. Again, if you can satisfy me, I will not disappoint you! ”

When Ye Fu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Dashuai!" Thank you, Dashuai! Humble for the officers and soldiers of Sanyang, thank you for the marshal! ”

said this, but in his heart, he thought that today should be considered a fool.

But I don't know why, he still feels a little uneasy in his heart.

Night.

After settling Xiong Tingbi and his party, Ye Fu and Xu Gaozhuo went all the way back to their respective residences.

On the way, I recalled that before, I repeatedly had a premonition that it was not peaceful. He couldn't help but ask Xu Gaozhuo, "The recent military report is indeed not much different, right?" I always felt like something was going to happen. ”

Since Xu Gaozhuo and Wang Zhi divided labor under the auspices of Ye Fu, all the parts related to military orders were presided over by Xu Gaozhuo, and he successively recommended a few Confucian scholars who were also unwilling to Ye Fu to help share some of them. Ye Fu accepted all the orders, and found that there were many more talented people among them.

In this way, Ye Fu was even more relieved to give Xu Gaozhuo these tasks.

Nowadays, all military newspapers must be read by Xu Gaozhuo, classified, prioritized, and drafted, and then the parts that need to be decided by Ye Fu personally will be piled up on Ye Fu's desk. The rest only need to be done as usual, or things that are not important and obviously unsuitable, will be approved by Xu Gaozhuo. Invisibly, it reduced Ye Fu's workload a lot.

Ye Fu was basically satisfied with this, and now, if there was such a thing as relevant information, he naturally wanted to ask Xu Gaozhuo.

Xu Gaozhuo thought about it for a while, and wanted to say no. But somehow in my mind, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to mind of a report handed by the sentinel, so he said: "My lord, the student has a report here, please listen to if there is a problem." ”

"Say it." Ye Fu commanded.

Xu Gaozhuo said: "A few days ago, a team of sentinels who were exploring to the east handed over a report that several nearby military forts and villages far away from the forts were always harassed by Tartars. At that time, the students thought that the damage was small, so they ordered the fort below to solve it on its own. But now it seems that those Tartars may not have chosen targets without a plan. ”

The brief report did not allow Ye Fu to quickly understand the deep meaning of Xu Gaozhuo's words, and he simply asked, "What do you mean?" Let's get straight to the point, tell us what you think. ”

"Yes." Xu Gaozhuo agreed, sorted out his thoughts, and then explained to Ye Fu: "When the students first saw these reports, they only thought that the Tartars chose targets to loot at will. But after all, it was the people who plundered the military forts under my Sanyang defense line, and the students still didn't pay attention to it. At that time, when the order was given to let the military forts strengthen their defenses, the students also sent people to inspect them, and although the results were not very good, they were also reasonable. After several small-scale victories, although the results were not worth mentioning, they were victorious. At that time, the small movements of the Tartars were interrupted, and since then, the news of such investigations has been transmitted less and less. The student thought that it was probably because the Tartar was tired, so he gave up. But now that I think about it, there still seems to be some problems. ”

Ye Fu simply sat down in the courtyard, "Tell me specifically, what do you think is wrong?" ”

His mind was a mess now, and he just instinctively felt that something was going to happen, but he couldn't guess exactly what would go wrong. Therefore, at this time, he only listened to Xu Gaozhuo say his opinion.

Xu Gaozhuo thought for a while and said, "Actually, if there is no adult who has just asked, the students may not think of it for a while. But as soon as the adult asked, the student remembered a question. Taking advantage of the weakness of our defenses, or laxity, once plundered, we had to grab a lot of livestock, population, food, and so on. He Zeng, as he is now, seems to be mainly attacking and harassing, and he can't grab things, but seems to be secondary. The students felt that this was a little strange. ”

Ye Fu looked up and pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Indeed, this is indeed a suspicious point!" ”

You must know that the Later Jin army has an advantage in combat effectiveness compared to the army of the Ming Dynasty. I have always believed in subduing you by force, and most of my tactics will not easily use 'tired tactics' in things like looting. If you want to grab it, you can naturally do it directly. As Xu Gaozhuo said, they have never behaved in such an abnormal way, and according to common sense, there is no need for such a move.

If it is put aside, Ye Fu may wait to see the move.

But now, Xiong Tingbi is now stationed in Sanyang City. If it was a coincidence, they would be safe at other times, but when Xiong Tingbi was on patrol, he must run over to make trouble, and Xiong Tingbi happened to bump into him. It was really yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, not but and again. At that time, even if Ye Fu jumped into the Yellow River, he was afraid that he would not be able to wash it clean.

Ye Fu knew too well in his heart.

Xiong Tingbi is a very practical person!

Such a person will not listen to what you say with red mouth and white teeth, but will see what you really do.

Today's good impression, although it is also within the scope of what has actually been done, but this kind of thing is easy to show. Ye Fu dared to guarantee that Xiong Tingbi would not fully believe in his ability to train troops because of this. Next, the patrol at an indefinite time and place is the best way to test his ability.

If you behave well, you will be able to achieve that part of what you promised.
