Knock knock~

That night, when Gongsun Du was thinking about how to train the village warriors who were about to be recruited, there was a knock on the door, and before he could ask, he heard Xu Rong's voice outside the house.

"Shengji, it's me, Xu Rong!"

"Oh, it's Tingfang!" Gongsun Du suddenly understood why Xu Rong nodded and shook his head at himself when he was discussing during the day. Thinking about it, Gongsun Du didn't forget to get up and open the door.

Crunch~

This ......

Gongsun Du secretly said that he had to repair this door tomorrow, otherwise if this sound sounded in the middle of the night, it would scare people, even if it was flowers and plants, it would not be good.

"Tingfang, please come in!" Gongsun Du saw that it was Xu Rong, and hurriedly turned sideways to get out of the way.

Xu Rong pulled out an ugly smile and walked in.

Gongsun Du smiled slightly in his heart, and then closed the door again: "Tingfang, there is no tea at night, if you want to drink, there is only cold boiled water or wine." ”

Xu Rong waved his hand and said, "No, I just want to tell you something." ”

Gongsun Du nodded, then poured two bowls of cold boiled water and put them in front of Xu Ronghe's table: "Well, you can say anything about it!" ”

Xu Rong was silent for a moment and said, "Shengji, how much do you know about my Xu family ancestor?" ”

Gongsun Du didn't expect Xu Rong to be so direct, but when he thought that the other party was a military general, not a civil official, he understood. However, he still didn't answer Xu Rong's words immediately, but asked, "Did you come to me to talk about this?" ”

"Does it matter?"

Xu Rong said casually, and then replied: "This is just one of them. ”

Then there was no follow-up, obviously Xu Rong wanted to talk about this matter first, and then talk about anything else.

Gongsun Du didn't have any other thoughts, and said: "Tingfang, I don't know much, I just know that it seems to be related to General Fei. ”

Xu Rong was silent when he heard this, he thought that Gongsun Du knew a lot, but it turned out to be ...... He didn't know if he should tell Gongsun Du the truth.

Gongsun Du saw Xu Rong's thoughts and said with a smile: "Tingfang, I don't know if you have anything else to say?" ”

Xu Rong glanced at Gongsun Du, did not accept his kindness, and said to himself. Although Gongsun Du felt embarrassed for a moment, he was more curious about Xu Rongzu's affairs, so he listened attentively.

"Since I was a child, my father has been teaching me martial arts, you know. But what you don't know is that you have to memorize books and learn words every night. ”

"At first, I didn't understand what I was reciting, but it wasn't until my father began to teach me the art of war that I understood that it was a military book, a military book passed down by my ancestors of the Xu family."

"Later, I asked my father who wrote this military book."

"He told me it was General Flying Li Guang."

"I asked, General Fei's surname is Li, our surname is Xu, why did his military book reach our family."

Dad didn't answer immediately, but talked about the identity of the ancestor. At that time, the ancestor was General Fei's family general, and later General Fei's third son joined the army, and because of General Fei's request, the ancestor became the confidant general of General Fei's youngest son. ”

Later, General Fei died, and General Fei's youngest son felt that it was forced by the hussar general, and even injured the hussar general, but the hussar general was generous and didn't care. It's just that the champion Hou felt that this was a big rebellion, but it was not good to go against the will of the hussar general, so he shot him by mistake with the help of hunting. ”

"At that time, General Fei's youngest son felt faintly uneasy, so he asked the ancestor of my Xu family to carry the military book written by General Fei, as well as his son, and fled away to Liaodong."

After that, the grandson of General Fei, grateful for the kindness of the ancestors, made the decision to transcribe a copy of General Fei's military book to the ancestors. The ancestor was unwilling to accept it, but due to various reasons, he could only be subordinate in the end, but he swore in front of the grandson of General Fei that he would not pass on the military book, and later after reciting it, he burned it in front of him. ”

"So-"

"Shengji, General Fei's art of war can't be passed on to you."

Gongsun Duzheng was fascinated by what he heard, and when he suddenly heard such a sentence, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Tingfang, what do you want?" Do you think I said that during the day, I wanted you to take out the military book? ”

Xu Rong nodded seriously.

Gongsun Du couldn't help but sigh with a sigh: "You think too much, I promise you, absolutely no such meaning!" ”

Xu Rong felt a little surprised, but he still nodded, choosing to believe Gongsun Du.

"Tell me, what else do you want when you come to me?" Gongsun Du didn't want to mention this embarrassing topic again, and seeing that Xu Rong believed him, he quickly changed the topic.

Sure enough, Xu Rong's waist was straight, although it was not crooked before.

"I was negligent before, I didn't think of this, and now that we are going to recruit Xiang Yong, what are you going to do? Is it according to the practice in the army, or is there something else in mind? ”

"What do you mean?" Gongsun Du was a little puzzled.

Xu Rong explained: "The soldiers in the border areas belong to the soldiers on their faces, do you know the soldiers? ”

Gongsun Du didn't know what to do, but the soldier still knew, so he nodded and saw what Xu Rong was going to say.

"Since you know, I won't say much, basically I will gather them when there is a military intelligence, and they are usually in their own homes, no matter what they do. And today, I think that the Xiangyong you want to recruit should be similar to the guards, and they belong to the long-term formed soldiers. ”

"That's right, that's right, what's wrong with that?" Gongsun Du was still puzzled and surprised.

Xu Rong frowned, he didn't know if Gongsun Du was really unclear or fake. After carefully looking at Gongsun Du's face, Xu Rong felt that most of it was true, so he said: "Let's not talk about whether this is in line with the laws of the imperial court for the time being, let's just say that they are long-term established guards, where does the money and food that need to be spent come from?" Do you have one? ”

"Furthermore, if you want to be good, you must first sharpen your tools! If you want to have strong soldiers, you also need to have excellent equipment, do you have these? (For the difference between the garrisons, please refer to the military service system of the Han Dynasty, which is borrowed here.) ）

Gongsun Du couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, he really didn't think of this stubble for a while.

Seeing this, Xu Rong sighed slightly in his heart, feeling that he was also hot in the brain, so he fell for Gongsun Du. However, I can't talk about regret, but I think I should prepare in advance.

Soon, Gongsun Du said: "The problem of the armor is not big, I saw some stock in the warehouse in the county, although I don't know why it was not taken away, but the quantity is still enough for the people of Yiqu." There's still some food too, it's just ......"

Xu Rong was thoughtful when he heard this.

Seeing that Xu Rong didn't mean to answer, Gongsun Du continued: "There is no money, so I am afraid that everyone's travel expenses and other expenses cannot be provided." I can only hope that everyone is willing to contribute to the protection of Liaodong. ”

Xu Rong really wanted to pat Gongsun Du's face, and then say the word "shameless". But there is no way to do it, so he said: "Shengji, since this is the case, then when you go to recruit people, you should explain to them, if you don't want to, don't force it, what do you think?" ”

Syllable~

Gongsun Du also thought so, but he couldn't say it himself, since Xu Rong was so cooperative, he naturally had to cooperate: "Okay, it should be like this." ”

Gongsun Du got up and paced back and forth twice, stood still in front of Xu Rong, and said, "Wait for the pavilion, you go and inform Hongyuan and them, you tell them that you have to explain the situation, you can't force it, you can only be natural; The number of people can be small, but not too large. I'm going to see how much armor and food I have now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight if I don't figure it out. ”

After speaking, Gongsun Du hurriedly walked out of the room, leaving Xu Rong to open his mouth slightly to look at his disappearing back.

"I ......"
