Ma Du checked Zhu Wenying again, and was relieved to see that he was indeed safe and sound. He went to look for Deng Yu again, but Deng Yu went to patrol the camp, and heard Tang Ding say that Deng Yu had just arrived a few days ago, and he soaked in the camp every day to familiarize himself with firearms and the tactics of the Shenji Battalion.

Hearing the dog say this, half of Ma Du's heart was put into his stomach, and he shouldn't have to worry about it militarily with such a commander. As for what Lao Zhu was worried about, he didn't care, Lao Zhu didn't know enough about the Shenji Battalion.

The head of the Shenji battalion is easy to change, but the middle-level officers bear the heaviest tasks in the battle, even if they die in battle, they are deputies or subordinates, and they casually stuff people in and command blindly, and this battalion can only be scrapped. Deng Yu is proficient in firearms warfare, so he will not do such a stupid thing before the big war.

Deng Yu was not there, and Ma Du had no choice but to go to see coach Xu Da. handed over the letter of appointment given to him by Lao Zhu outside the tent of the Chinese army, and immediately Xu Da's personal soldiers invited him in.

Lao Liu said: "The lord took off the big hat and went to see the big handsome!" ”

"Oh!" Ma Du hurriedly took off his fur, it was really not good to wear this thing in the military camp, the cold wind blowing on his body made him feel excited, and the armor on the Buddha's body froze.

Ma Du lifted the curtain of the tent, and in the wide military tent, only Xu Da sat behind the handsome case, sitting like a clock, with a cold expression and a majestic face. Ma Du took a few steps forward to the central position, bowed on one knee and said: "Ma Du, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, came to the commander's tent to listen to the use of His Majesty's order, and respectfully ask the commander for instructions!" ”

I only heard Xu Da say sonorously and powerfully: "The generals under the commander's account must fight bravely to be the first, obey the order, and if there is any disobedience, the military law will be ...... First: Hearing the drum does not advance, smelling the gold does not stop, the flag cannot be raised, the flag is not ambushed, and the offender is beheaded. Second: the name should not be called, the time is not enough, the time is not reached, the time limit is not reached, the law of the teacher is changed, and the offender is beheaded. Third: Spread the fight at night, neglect and not report, even more disobedient, unclear, and the offender will be beheaded ......"

The army is not a joke, Lao Zhu's army can fight all over the world, and naturally there is no strict military discipline. When Li Wenzhong was stationed in Hangzhou, his subordinates were beheaded because they borrowed an iron pot from the people.

"The commander Ma Du has memorized everything!"

"The subordinates of the commander have not remembered it clearly, and after returning to the camp, they must find the military law regulations to recite them, and keep them in mind!"

Xu Da laughed, got down from the handsome position, and helped Ma Du up, "Xuanzhong is usually the most slippery, but this time he is honest!" ”

"The subordinates just don't dare to deceive the marshal, by the way, Wen Ying went to chase the rabbit without permission during the march, shouldn't he be beaten up!"

Xu Da said with a smile: "This is not easy to do, he was the commander of the first army when he marched independently, and he really couldn't restrain him." He had to tell me that he was in an ambush when he went to chase the enemy, and I didn't take him for granted, haha......" I didn't expect Xu Da to be a serious person and joke, but this joke is a bit cold.

Xu Da said again: "Is the family okay?" Has your son been born? ”

Ma Du shook his head: "It's not a son, it's a daughter!" ”

"Hello girl! Hello girl! When I grow up, I'll be my daughter-in-law! ”

Why do you beat my daughter's idea, but you Xu Da doesn't seem to have a son.

Xu Da seemed to see what Ma Du was thinking, "Your sister-in-law was already pregnant before the expedition, and now it's almost time to give birth, this will definitely be a son." It's just the right age for your daughter! ”

"Oh, Brother Xu atoned for his sins, and the younger brother didn't know that his sister-in-law was pregnant, and he did something to make his sister-in-law angry when he was at home!"

Xu Da sighed and said: "I know everything, it's my housekeeper who has no way, your sister-in-law is a fool who has no idea, and she is at the mercy of a few of her mother's family." dared to use the military post to send a letter to complain, and the emperor didn't care about it, otherwise it would be enough to cut off his head.

The emperor wanted to wait for me to return to Beijing before telling me about this matter, but it can be seen that you are here and afraid that I will have trouble with you, so he wrote to me to tell me. The emperor is too worried, how can I Xu Da not be able to tell the difference, and the eldest brother will thank you for covering it up for me. ”

"It's a pity that the little brother's strength is in vain, I don't know that the emperor was there at that time for a private visit, and I can see it clearly from beginning to end."

Xu Dadao: "Even if the emperor is not on the spot, he will know it clearly." In the past, I couldn't bear to deal with your sister-in-law, but now the emperor has ascended to the pole and the ministers are different, I have followed the emperor for many years to know what he hates the most, and it will be a disaster for those evil servants to stay sooner or later, even if you don't make a move, I will deal with it after I return to Beijing. Thanks to you discounting their legs, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to get out and cause trouble before I go back. ”

In the end, it is a scheming celebrity, and it is easy to see through Ma Du's intention to break his leg, "It's good that the big brother doesn't blame me!" ”

"Don't talk about these troubles anymore, come over quickly, I have something to ask you!" Xu Da pulled Ma Du forward with the handsome case.

Ma Du hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Marshal, my subordinates don't understand military affairs, don't make a mistake." ”

"Who asked you about military affairs!" Xu Da took out a booklet, which turned out to be Zhu Biao's notes on learning arithmetic.

Ma Du wondered, what are you doing as a commander who doesn't read military books, learning arithmetic.

Xu Da said with a smile: "Ever since you used arithmetic to transmit secret messages in Pingjiang, I have been thinking about how to promote this method in the army. So he asked the prince if he wanted this booklet. As soon as I learned it, I realized that your method of transmitting secret letters seems to be mysterious, but it is actually extremely simple, but it is just the surface of arithmetic. I'll flip through some when I'm not busy, and I'm almost done......"

Xu Da didn't have the opportunity to study when he was young, but with the conditions, he couldn't let go of the book, even if he went on the expedition, he often "extended the Confucian life and talked about it all day long".

Zhu Sheng praised Xu Da for his studiousness in front of Ma Du more than once, and asked Ma Du to learn more from Xu Da. Ma Du felt that the old money fan just hoped that he would be like Xu Da and go to his house with a bunch of gifts to ask for advice.

Unexpectedly, in addition to Xu Da's liking of the art of war and history, he was also interested in mathematics, Ma Du couldn't ask for it, which would be good for the promotion of arithmetic, and he wanted to show it off in front of Xu Da, but he didn't expect Xu Da's first question to stump him.

Xu Da frowned and asked: "Xuanzhong, why does this pool have to release water while filling it, what is the mystery, I just don't understand it after thinking about it, Xuanzhong is here to solve my doubts!" ”

You don't understand? I don't understand! When I asked the teacher, the teacher didn't tell me the reason, but said, "If you love to learn, you won't learn to pull down, if you don't look good in the exam!" ”

Ma Du also told the students of the academy this, but he didn't dare to say this to Xu Da. He pondered for a while, and admonished with righteous words: "My subordinates think that although arithmetic is exquisite, it is useless to fight and kill in the marshal, and the marshal, as the lord of an army, must not indulge in it......"

Coming out of Xu Da's tent, Ma Du let out a sigh of relief, and finally fooled Xu Da, and on the way back to the Shenji camp, he heard a loud voice calling him, "Xuanzhong, you are really here, haha......"

Ma Du turned his head and saw that it was Chang Yuchun, "It's Brother Chang!" ”

"What happened to you just now? Look at your relieved look, aren't you frightened by a bunch of military laws from the big handsome. I'm telling you that as long as you don't have to fight, everything else is trivial. ”

What are you kidding, for Ma Du, only going into battle to fight is a big deal, and let Deng Yue do the war, he is here to be a prison army.

Chang Yuchun's big hand patted Ma Du's shoulder, "Is home okay?" Has your son been born? ”

Ma Du shook his head and said, "It's not a son, it's a daughter!" ”

"Hello girl! Hello girl! When you grow up, you can marry my family as a daughter-in-law! ”

Why do you have to worry about my daughter, she is not full moon yet!

"Brother Chang, what are you kidding, your family Chang Sen is almost eleven this year!"

"What's the matter, let Chang Sen wait for her for a few more years! Come to my camp, I've got you to help!" Chang Yuchun also turned around and waved behind him, "Hurry up!" ”

Ma Du followed Chang Yuchun to his camp, and after a while, a group of soldiers pushed a large flatbed cart over, and there was a scalper lying on it.

The ox was held in place by seven or eight ropes, unable to move, and had two cuts on its body several inches long, with its flesh rolled and an arrow stuck in its body.

"Brother Chang, you are really interesting, knowing that I am coming, you will get a cow for me to catch the wind, I love beef the most!"

Chang Yuchun frowned and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about, how can a good cow be killed if you say it, and you still have a cow cub, I asked you to treat it!" ”

It turned out that when Chang Yuchun was patrolling the camp, he didn't know where a cow came from, so he rushed towards them, and his own soldiers moved on the cow.

"These few people who don't know what's going on, the cow came over and avoided it, how can they still get involved with an animal! Xuanzhong, you quickly cure it! ”

It's okay to treat a cow's injuries, but a killing god who treats human life like a mustard still cares about the life and death of a cow? Although it is strange, Madu also asked people to find tools to treat and bandage the cow.

The cow doesn't seem to be as violent as before, and it behaves very docilely, and Ma Du sews the skin and flesh for it only mooing twice, Chang Yuchun caresses the cow's head on the side, and says from time to time: "It's so good!" "I don't know, I thought it was Chang Mao.

"When I was a child, I also had a cow like this at home, I don't know which one killed a thousand knives to steal it, but it made my mother cry to death, this cow is the lifeblood of farmers!" Chang Yuchun instructed a few guards: "You inquire about anyone nearby who has lost their cattle!" ”

Ma Du treated the cow, and the guards were going to take the cow away and tie it to the stable, but Chang Yuchun said: "It has injuries and cold outside, so take it to my tent." ”

Watching Chang Yuchun carefully lead the cow to his tent, the muscles on Ma Du's face couldn't help twitching, "That's how the legend of Mo Yuchun made a cow came about?" ”
