Chapter 23 Bastard Stuff

Ye Fu smiled and said, "Wang Experience, you are wrong!" Xiong Jing has a slightly bad temper, so for military generals such as us, is there still a good-tempered civil official in this court? To put it mildly, apart from a civil official like you, who serves as a military attache and a yamen, where can any civil official treat us as human beings? Therefore, whether it is a good temper or a bad temper, it has nothing to do with us, and it will not be good for us after all. And this temper thing, at most, affects the mood, and has little to do with doing things. You've got to look deeper. ”

Wang Zhi was obviously a little surprised by Ye Fu's statement, "Oh? Do you think so? Then the lower official would like to hear about it! ”

Ye Fu said: "In the few days I was in Shenyang Panhuan, I probably learned some things, and Wang Shi may not have heard of it. In the recital that Xiong Jingluo gave to His Majesty, he talked in detail about his strategy of leveling Liao. In my opinion, it can be roughly summed up in four words, turning offense into defense. ”

"Turning offense into defense?" Wang Zhi was puzzled, "The Tartars are so arrogant, and they still want to turn from offense to defense?" What is the rationale for this? ”

"Wang Experience, you are a scholar after all!" Ye Fu said, "How can you rush into a war, especially this kind of big battle that is related to the fortunes of the country if you are not careful? Nowadays, the imperial court can't come up with money, food, soldiers and horses, the weapons of the whole army are outdated, and the military fort is in disrepair. Isn't this the time to recuperate? Rushing into the army and fighting the Tartar waves, that is the way to death! Only steady and gradual encroachment is the best strategy! There are few Tatars, and there are many Ming people. The Tartar materials were scarce, and the Ming was abundant. A protracted war, for the Ming Dynasty, has a hundred benefits and no harm. What's more, it is precisely because the money is insufficient that it is all the more necessary to switch from offense to defense. ”

"Well, this, the lower official understands." Wang Zhi nodded, agreeing with Ye Fu's statement.

Actually, everyone knows it in their hearts. As the saying goes, when the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold. Raising soldiers in peacetime and raising soldiers in troubled times, the cost is not at the same level at all. If there is a little less fighting, holding on to the city, instead of going out of the city to fight, then the military expenditure will naturally be less. The imperial court can make up for it a lot, and Ye Fu himself is naturally under less pressure.

"So, I should pay my own military salary, and it should be only this time and a half. When Xiong Jingluo takes office, our lives will be better. Ye Fu said, "Therefore, our main strength is still to be used in training." I have some rough ideas here, you can look at it and help me sort it out. Recently, it will be used. ”

Wang Zhi took the stack of pages handed over by Ye Fu, and when he looked up again, he saw that Ye Fu had already walked out with a smile, as if he meant to give him the study room to use.

Ye Fu came out of the yamen, stepped on the horse, and led people straight to the direction of the school.

At this time, there were only six people left in his personal soldiers, led by Jin Yichuan, and the remaining five were Yang Xiao and other five hunters from Yangjiabao. Although the number is small, the victory has fought with him, the riding skills are very good, and the archery skills are much stronger than ordinary soldiers, which can be called elite.

When Ye Fu led people to the school field, he could hear the sound of shouting and killing from a distance. Obviously, the soldiers who had eaten and drunk enough to get their salaries finally knew to do something serious.

Seeing Ye Fu coming, Shen Zhaolin was the first to come forward.

He didn't have much experience in military training, and he was much worse than Lu Ding and Tang Wang. The reason why I am standing here is just pretending.

Ye Fu got off his horse and walked past the soldiers who were organizing training with his hands behind his back, frowning and shaking his head from time to time.

Shen Zhaolin was worried in his heart, and couldn't help but ask, "My lord, is there anything wrong?" ”

Ye Fu didn't answer his question, but his brows furrowed even more.

Shen Zhaolin suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, and followed behind Ye Fu, even his steps became cautious.

After taking another two steps forward, Ye Fu's eyelids suddenly jumped. With the alertness cultivated from fighting on the battlefield for so long, before his brain could react to what was happening, he had already pulled out the saber hanging on his waist with a loud cry and blocked it in the air. His body instinctively flashed to the side, and a sudden gust of wind flashed in his ears. Behind, there was the sound of a weapon falling to the ground.

Ye Fu was covered in cold sweat, and when he turned his head to look, he couldn't help but sigh that his life was really big.

Not close behind him, on the ground, a spear lay quietly.

The scene suddenly became very awkward.

After I don't know how long, Shen Zhaolin was the first to react, like an old cat whose tail had been stepped on, pulling his neck and shouting: "Who! Who did this to you! Mouthful, dare to do it? Stand up for Lao Tzu! ”

This piece of soldiers now belongs to Song Ruliang, he is a general in charge of Tuntian, and he is not very good at training. casually arranged for the team installed by Ye Fu's subordinates to always take training, and he ran to the next room to hide for warmth. On such a cold day, he is not stupid and does not want to be frozen outside.

But who would have thought that such a coincidental thing would happen to his soldiers.

When he heard the news, he happened to see Shen Zhaolin jumping and scolding.

Seeing Ye Fu standing beside Shen Zhaolin with his hands in his hands, his face was frighteningly cold, Song Ruliang immediately became anxious and hurriedly ran over. He greeted Ye Fu for a while, and said anxiously: "My lord, why are you here?" You okay? See where it hurts? ”

Ye Fu glared at him, "What?" Is it the right time for Lao Tzu to come? ”

"This ...... No, no......" Song Ruliang hurriedly explained, but he also knew that Ye Fu probably couldn't listen to his explanation. So, he turned around, glared at the group of soldiers, and shouted, "I don't know if I live or die! Who the hell did it! Don't hurry up and stand up for me! Don't wait for me to check them one by one! Don't admit it, there are you good-looking! ”

Ye Fu watched coldly and didn't say a word.

After a long time, just when Shen Zhaolin was about to resist going to investigate one by one, a young soldier stood up tremblingly.

There were still five or six steps away from Ye Fu, and the little soldier knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed to Ye Fu and said, "It's the villain's fault!" The villain inadvertently misses and almost hurts the adult. Adult, please! ”

Song Ruliang glared at the little soldier, raised his leg is a kick, and scolded angrily in his mouth: "Good little bastard......

"Stop!" Ye Fu shouted angrily, repulsed Song Ruliang, took two steps forward, came to Xiao Bing, and said to him, "You, raise your head." ”

The little soldier trembled like chaff, and he couldn't help it no matter what. After listening to Ye Fu's order, he raised his head, trembling, as if he was about to be frightened.

Ye Fu looked at that face, but suddenly smiled, "Why are you again?" ”

After this smile, he looked at the little soldier and laughed, "It shouldn't be revenge, right?" Xie Ergou, your level is not very good! ”

Xie Ergou, who was shot away by Ye Fu with an arrow that day, was so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot.
