"Yes, if the student thinks too much, then the student will speak up." Xu Gaozhuo saluted again, straightened up, and then said to Ye Fu, "Your Excellency summoned the officers above the general level of each fort to Sanyang for a meeting this time, and its original intention was to rectify military affairs and warn those generals of the defeated army who did not perform well in the Battle of Salhu. The guilty general Xu Pingong is arrogant and domineering, disobeys military orders, and is arrogant. The adults came with troops, intending to punish the crime in person. Who knows, this sin will already harbor evil intentions, collude with the Tartars, and intend to cooperate with the outside and use the heads of the adults as a gift of surrender to the Tartar chiefs! The adults have already understood Xu Pingong's evil intentions and are fully prepared. At that time, the Tartars gathered more than 100 cavalry and met the adults in a narrow way. The lord commanded Ruo Ding, and finally won in danger, not only captured the criminal general, defeated the Tartars, but also beheaded thirty-seven ranks, and recaptured the population, livestock, gold and silver. The war was not far off, and at the time of employing people, the adults were magnanimous, and only sentenced Xu Pingong to 80 military sticks for the crime of beating, and deprived of his military position, so as to set an example. However, he still allowed his army to repay his service in front of the army, in order to make up for his mistakes. ”

After Xu Gaozhuo finished speaking, Ye Fu had already expected it and did not react much. It was Lu Ding, after listening to it, he was stunned for a while, then suddenly stood up, pointed at Xu Gaozhuo's nose and scolded: "What nonsense! Xu Gaozhuo! You know the truth, how dare you make it up? What a credit to the great men who strategized and annihilated all the Tartars. Isn't it ...... for you to say that? Isn't it ......?"

"Lord Lu, please be calm and don't be impatient." Xu Gaozhuo didn't care about Lu Ding's anger, but responded with a smile, "In the eyes of adults, is it the greater sin of concealing the truth, or the greater sin of covering up the merits?" If it's the former, then the student has nothing to say. But if it's the latter, the adults have wronged the students. Of course, the total annihilation sounds more enjoyable than the annihilation of the enemy, but the adults use more than 100 people against 30 people, or more than 100 people against more than 100 people, so which one sounds more enjoyable? It is said that the Tartars can defeat 10 against 10 people, and the adults can defeat 100 people against 30 people, which is not an amazing achievement. But if more than 100 people are against more than 100 people, and the number is equal, not only defeated, but also beheaded as much as at least a quarter, this is a great achievement! What's more, adults still have the merit of the whole city! Otherwise, do you want to be blunt in the military newspaper, saying that the adults are pretending to be Tartars to deceive the city gates? Such a handle must not be left behind. Otherwise, even if you are safe today, in the future, you will inevitably incur unforeseen disasters for adults at some point! ”

As soon as he said this, Lu Ding stopped for a while.

Xu Gaozhuo was not wrong at all, in Lu Ding's opinion, whether he deceived the court or not was by no means a big mistake. The reason why he spoke out against it just now was because he saw that his credit might be erased, so he couldn't help but jump out and speak.

And Xu Gaozhuo's statement made him really have nowhere to go.

"What a reader!" Ye Fu saw that Lu Ding had nothing to say, so he stroked his palms and exclaimed, "Compared to us martial artists, in the end, it is still a scholar like Mr. Xu who is more capable." I kind of understand why this victory is not fought, but spoken. ”

"My lord!" Xu Gaozhuo frowned and shook his head lightly, as if he disagreed, "If you win the battle, you still have to fight." Moreover, in today's Liaodong, the atmosphere is vain, and if you don't do this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold. Under such circumstances, both the DPRK and China like to listen to good words. If you win a battle, you naturally have to make good use of it. Otherwise, the victory will be in vain. Therefore, the students think that there is nothing wrong with exaggeration. But exaggeration is not the same as creating something out of nothing. Obviously losing the battle, or obviously not fighting, but insisting that he won the battle, or even killing good and risking merit, that is despised! ”

"Oh, so to speak, is it still a gentleman who does something and doesn't do something?" Ye Fu smiled lightly, "Okay, since Mr. has said it so clearly, then just do what Mr. said." This battle report, I have to ask Mr. to help write it. As for me, I am only a shallow learner, so I won't be ugly. ”

Xu Gaozhuo was not very modest at this point, and only arched his hand: "Since students are adults' advisers, it is naturally their duty to serve adults with pen and ink." Since adults don't dislike it, then students should work for themselves! ”

Ye Fu nodded and said, "Sir, please sit down!" Mr. Gang said that the most important thing is to write a war report and report the merits. However, it's always bad that the position of the thousand people guarding the city is empty, right? Sir, if you have any candidates, let me mention it in the battle report, so that I can give him a chance to be promoted! ”

Xu Gaozhuo smiled: "This, do adults have to ask students?" Isn't it far away in the sky, close in front of you? ”

Ye Fu glanced at Lu Ding, who had just scolded others for 'nonsense', pretended not to know, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" Can you tell me honestly? ”

Xu Gaozhuo had no choice but to reply: "Since adults must listen to the students, then the students will just say it." Lord Lu Dinglu, the general manager of the hundred household titles, the reason, and the acting general manager of the thousand are more than enough in terms of rank. What's more, in this battle, Lord Lu's performance was also very outstanding, which is the truth. Besides, now the employment of people pays attention to the mountain, and Lord Lu is your descendant, so he naturally has to be used in a good place. The location of Yongdian Fort is so important, and it happens that there is just a vacancy, so naturally Lord Lu should be asked to fill this position. And rightfully so! ”

Lu Ding's face was extremely exciting for a while.

Originally, he was still saying that other people are not good at this, that is not good, and that is not pleasing to the eye and that is not pleasing to the eye. But what about people? repaying grievances with virtue made him really unable to lose his temper at all.

On the contrary, I feel that I feel very bad in my heart.

It's as if he is the despicable villain who sues in front of him and splashes dirt behind his back.

He took a step back and sat back, feeling a little depressed.

Ye Fu didn't want to let him go like that, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he said to him, "What? Mr. Lu, people recommended you, so you don't have anything to say? ”

Lu Ding's face suddenly turned red, and after a while, he said angrily: "Even so, the lowly position is ...... It won't be easy to ...... because of this Easy to change...... Perception. ”

He is clearly saying that Xu Gaozhuo tends to be inflammatory, intending to win people's hearts with these.

Ye Fu immediately looked at Xu Gaozhuo, but saw that his face was calm as before, and he did not look uncomfortable.

He couldn't help but praise secretly in his heart, and said to Lu Ding: "Anyway, you will be colleagues in the future, and people recommend you, even if it is on face, you must have the word 'thanks'." ”

Lu Ding was helpless, so he had to get up and say the word 'thanks', which was insincere.

Ye Fu smiled when he saw this, and no longer forced him, but said to Xu Gaozhuo: "You just mentioned Xu Pingong, what did you mean?" I beat him with 80 military sticks, stripped him of his military position, to set an example, and allowed him to serve in front of the army, in order to make meritorious service for his crimes? Who promised you this? ”

Xu Gaozhuo replied: "Naturally, you agreed!" ”

Ye Fu raised his eyebrows, "Me? When did you say yes? How I don't remember. ”

"It's true that adults don't remember, but it's not that they haven't promised." Xu Gaozhuo said, "I remember that at that time, Xu Jiang always used his future as a guarantee and saved Xu Pingong's life in front of adults!" ”

"I promised not to kill him on the spot, but that doesn't mean I will let him serve in front of the army." Ye Fu corrected, "Don't say that he is a cripple now, even if his cripple can be cured well, I can't use him anymore." ”

"Are adults willing to give up a talent?" Xu Gaozhuo asked.

Lu Ding can be regarded as having found a breakthrough at this time, and he hurriedly spoke, although his attitude was slightly better than before, but his tone was still questioning, "Mr. Xu, what do you mean by this?" You have nothing to do with Xu Pingong now! You are not Xu Pinzhang's kind of clansman, who is close to Xu Pingong, you are a distant relative who sticks up, what can't you give up? Is it because he was your old master before, and you have your heart set on him, and you want to help him find a good way out all the time? I advise you! That's a sinner who collaborated with the enemy and treason! It's better for you to get along with him less. ”

But what he didn't expect was that Xu Pingong, who had just looked submissive, became anxious in just a few moments of his words.
