The third meeting of the "Drill Code" convened by the Ministry of War was held at midnight the next morning.

Chen Pu walked into the main hall where the meeting was held before the end of the hour.

There were a lot of people attending today's meeting, in addition to the four Shangzhu countries of Yang Gu Yan Shang, there were also more than a dozen or twenty actual pillar countries, and even the chief and deputy leaders of the Ye Tingwei and the Imperial Forest Army also came four or five. It is clear that today is an expanded meeting.

The scale of the meeting was so large, and the titles of the participants were so high, Chen Pu felt a little nervous, and at the same time a little excited. Although she was hung with the squire of the military department, the deputy head of the Gyeonggi camp, the deputy commander of the Liyuan battalion, and three or four other large and small titles, it was the first time she had participated in such an important meeting. The moment she walked up the steps, she felt that her pulse had probably stopped beating, and she even felt helpless when she looked at the golden-winged red-robed people sitting around a long table in the main hall.

The military officer who greeted her at the door showed her a seat—she was attending the meeting as the deputy commander of the Liyuan battalion, so her seat was arranged under Shangguan Rui, the commander of the Liyuan battalion, and it was the fourth seat on the right.

She nodded a little, tried to walk into the main hall with a solemn expression and sat down, lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment, feeling that others would no longer pay attention to her, and then quietly looked at the surrounding situation.

The presiding officer was naturally Zeng Ao, who was the deputy minister and the secretary of the military department; However, he had not yet arrived, and the seat at the north end of the long case was still empty. The first place in the east is Yang Du; The old general's waist was straight, and his head was particularly high, but because of Shang Cheng's reminder yesterday, Chen Pu noticed that the old man's eyes were indeed not as bright as in the past. Yang Du's side sat Gu Shi; Gu Poyang launched the Eastern Japanese strategy, and presided over the loan to the first three members of the Japanese king, ensuring the smooth implementation of the Eastern Japanese strategy from the money and grain, so when the spring breeze was proud recently, they were all about sixty people, but their spirits were more vigorous than before, and their eyes were also shining......

Probably sensing that she was looking at herself, Gu Shi nodded to her gently. Chen Pu also smiled at the neighbor and said hello.

She didn't see Shang Cheng on the other side, thinking that he was sitting in the west head like herself. She swept it with the corner of her eye, and Shang Cheng was at the top of Shangguan Rui. Right now, Uncle Ying was leaning forward, hooking his head slightly, covering his cheeks, and he didn't know what he was thinking about with a sad face.

When it was almost time, Zeng Ao came. Today's meeting has officially begun.

Zeng Ao first briefed the generals present with two pieces of good news. The first piece of news was that Yan Shanwei had set a trap on the grassland between Luhe and Liuzhen, ambushed a group of Tu Tu people, killed more than 30 large tent soldiers, and captured about the same number of prisoners. The news did not cause much movement in the venue. Since March, there have been such good news from Yanshanwei every three or five months, and people have long been accustomed to it. For these good news, everyone basically has no other feeling except envy and jealousy at the moment. Hey, if other people want to make some real military achievements, it is not easy to be as difficult as it is; Look at Yanshan again, they all regard the grassland as their own garden, and when they think of it, they go to pick a handful of green onions, and when they remember, they go to pluck a few garlics. ! Everyone is carrying a head on their shoulders, how can they compare with Yan Shanwei, and they only feel that they are raised by their stepmother?

Regarding Yanshan's good news, Zeng Ao just said a few words in passing, indicating that there was such a thing. His focus is to tell everyone another good news, that is, Xiao Shangzhu has already started in the southwest. The 3,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Rongzhou made a gesture of moving in the direction of Luzhou, striving to mobilize the main forces of Nanzhao and Xijiangman to leave Rongzhou; At the same time, the 5,000 men and horses of Jiazhou divided into two routes, all the way south to Dingkang Village, and all the way to Yong'an Town, preparing to eat a Nanzhao people in Dingkang Village......

Zeng Ao is worthy of being the deputy minister and the secretary of the military department, his memory is not ordinarily good, so many places, cities, fortresses, soldiers and horses, generals, he actually remembered none of them, he didn't even use the map, he opened his mouth and said for half an hour, until he said that Xiao Jian's strategy for returning was no longer missing, and he stopped talking.

Then there was silence in the large main hall.

All the people present are wearing more than four double-stacked gold-winged heads, except for Chen Pu, even if they only compare the ability to shoot Sima Fart, they are not much stronger than ordinary people, so Zeng Ao's voice fell, not only did no one open his mouth, no one spoke, and there was not even anyone who drank water, everyone sat solemnly on their knees, like a clay statue in the temple without saying a word. Xiao Shangzhu's strategy for using troops, what is there to discuss? Anyone can put a beak? Then again, Jiazhou to Shangjing is also a journey of two or three thousand miles, I don't know what year and month this news was sent, I sit in the yamen of the military department to discuss and discuss, in addition to attracting other people's grudges, what use can it be?

Zeng Ao saw that everyone didn't speak, so he had to ask for the names of the places next to each other. The first person to be found by him could only be Yang Du, the head of the Liyuan camp: "What does the auxiliary prince think, what are the measures of the Jiazhou camp?" ”

"Not bad." Yang Du said.

After Yang Du, Zeng Ao should consult Yan Gu's opinion, because Yan Gu is the deputy head of the Liyuan camp, anyway, Zeng Ao should look for him after asking Yang Du. But things were so unexpected, Zeng Ao actually skipped Yan Gu and found Gu Shi: "What does Gu Hou think?" ”

Gu Shi was stunned for a moment, but then a smile appeared on his face, nodded lightly and said, "Very good." Then he lowered his eyelids and closed his mouth, staring at the teacup without saying a word.

It stands to reason that after Yang Du and Gu Shi, Zeng Ao should have asked Yan Gu's opinion anyway, but today is so strange, the military department Shangshu didn't seem to see the deputy head of the Liyuan battalion sitting on his left at all, but found Shang Cheng who was sitting under Yan Gu: "Uncle Ying thinks that such measures are appropriate?" ”

At this time, everyone sensed that Vice Prime Minister Zeng's actions had other meanings, but what it was like, but they couldn't taste it for a while. Everyone turned their attention to Shang Cheng.

Shang Cheng covered his cheeks with one hand and frowned in pain. It was clear that he had a sudden toothache and had difficulty speaking.

This unexpected situation disrupted the steps that Zeng Ao and Yan Gu had discussed. In the first two meetings, they had already noticed that Yang Du was showing fatigue, especially at the end of the last meeting, Yang Du almost failed to stand up. The old man's physical strength was no longer enough to sustain a few hours of meetings and quarrels. That's where they come in. Yan Gu pointed out that no matter Yang Du, Gu Shi and Shang Cheng, it was impossible for them to make any evaluation of Xiao Jian's strategy, and at this time he could stand up and praise the strategy fiercely, first overwhelm the other party in terms of momentum, and then drag the morning meeting over by the way. In this way, the time of the meeting will undoubtedly be prolonged, and when Yang Du's physical strength is exhausted in the end, he will naturally have no energy to compete with him for the control of the audition of the new "Drill Code". It's a pity that his plan is good, but he didn't expect Shang Cheng to pick a "toothache" today, if he prolongs the meeting, then Shang Chengjiu, who has a very painful expression, will jump out and say, "Let's talk about it another day." Even if Zeng Ao let the meeting continue, it would be useless, and the blind man also had other ways to deal with it, if he wanted to see a doctor with a toothache, who could stop him? If he leaves, then today's meeting will still be a fart, Yang Du and Gu Shi will definitely pull out a lot of reasons to end the meeting early......

Yan Gu even thought of the most appropriate reason for Yang Du and them to end the meeting. "Shang Yanshan's opinions and opinions are very important", this sentence is enough, everyone has to pinch their noses and admit it. Is Shang Yanshan's opinion important? Not necessarily. But it's good that everyone understands this truth in their hearts, and no one can publicize it to the public. Although everyone knew that he was now idle, he could never say it; After all, the imperial court also wants to be faced. No matter what, Shang Yanshan was also awarded the title of Shangzhu State of the county earl, but he turned his face and was idle by the imperial court. The cunning rabbit is not dead yet, and the prime minister's public office is thinking about cooking the dogs?

However, even if Yan Gu knew that his idea had been ruined, he still had to continue according to his own strategy. So when Zeng Ao finally asked him, he still read it according to the manuscript that had been typed a long time ago.

When he spoke in a sonorous manner, Yang Du and Gu Shi, who were sitting opposite him, both looked at him with a very interesting look, as if he was not judging the merits of Xiao Jian's strategy, but dancing a puppet show on the stage. This taught him to be more and more depressed the more he talked, and the more he talked, the more he felt that the blind man was simply a dead star. But he couldn't give up halfway, so he could only grit his teeth and continue......

After he had finished speaking, the people he had arranged in advance discussed some of the ambiguities in the strategy, and finally dragged the time until noon. Then Zeng Ao came out to make a summary, and then announced: Adjourn the meeting for half an hour, food has been arranged in the boys' room of the military department, and everyone will go to eat first; After eating, the meeting continued.

Chen Pu waited until everyone was almost gone before standing up.

She saw Shang Cheng still sitting there with his cheeks covered, so she walked over and asked him, "Does it matter?" If not, I'll call a doctor to take care of you. ”

“…… This time it's much better. Shang Cheng let go of his hand, stood up and said, "You're not going to eat?" ”

"Of course I want to go." Chen Pu asked him strangely, "If I don't go to the room to eat, where else can I eat?" ”

"Let's go into Ouchi and eat. This will also open a meal in Ouchi, you can go to your mother's side for a good meal. ”

Chen Pu pursed his lips and said, "I came to the military department to do business, and I ate in the room. My mother believes in Buddhism and eats Chang Zhai, and my father is also green vegetables, tofu, tofu and green vegetables, how can I compare with the soldiers in the department? ”

This is the first time I have heard of this. While walking down the aisle, he happily talked to Chen Pu: "Don't eat green vegetables and tofu? It can't be as bitter as you say, right? On the day of Daughter's Day, I accompanied my family to Huaibao Li Temple, and at noon I also ate in the temple for fasting, and I don't know how much sesame oil was put in the soup, and even the green onion was wrapped in sesame oil in the middle......"

Chen Pu smiled, didn't say anything immediately, and walked a few steps before fighting back against him: "When you were a monk in Huaibao Li Temple in your early years, there was so much sesame oil in the tea and rice?" ”

Shang Cheng raised his face and laughed. The experience he once had as a monk was fabricated and forged, and it couldn't stand up to interrogation at all, and Chen Pu took it out to say something, and he didn't want to deny it.

It's just that because of Chen Pu's joke, the topic of fasting can't be continued. This is in the military department, all the people who came and went were unfamiliar faces, there were many things that could not be said, and the two of them couldn't find any proper topics in a hurry, so they didn't speak again, and they kept a peaceful smile on their faces and walked towards the young man's room.

After only two or three steps, Chen Pu felt that something was wrong. It's so embarrassing for two people to walk down the aisle so silently! She was about to say something to break the embarrassment, when Shang Cheng suddenly turned around, muttering "I have to go back to find something I pulled down", and he was about to hurry away.

That is, the moment he turned around, Shangguan Rui turned out from the corner, looked up and saw that it was the two of them, nodded and said hello: "Chen Zhuguo, Uncle Shang, why are you walking so slowly?" ”

It's better to come at a good time than to come at a good time! Shang Cheng stepped forward and stopped Shangguan Rui, pretending to be annoyed and said, "I'm just waiting for you!" One by one, I said Brother Zhongwu, don't you take my affairs to heart? ”

Shangguan Rui was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, his heart turned dozens of times, and he couldn't remember what Shang Cheng said. But looking at Shang Cheng's serious appearance, he didn't feel like he was lying to deceive himself. He had no choice but to say haha in his mouth, searching his stomach to remember what it was.

"Look! I knew you had forgotten everything! Shang Cheng said.

"Hehe," Shangguan Rui laughed twice, rubbed his hands and said apologetically, "This, this, I'm really embarrassed...... Why don't you remind you, Zida? ”

Chen Pu also stopped, staring at him in a daze. She never thought that Shang Cheng would have a personal matter, please ask Shangguan Rui for help. Looking at the two people, one shouts "brother" and the other aliases, the friendship is not necessarily very deep, but it must not be said to be shallow, but one of them is a character of the Yanshan family, and the other is the backbone of the Xiao family, no matter what, they should not be so close. She was puzzled, and she was curious about what kind of entanglement Shang Cheng and Shangguan Rui had, and suddenly forgot the embarrassment just now.
