As soon as the two teams trained in the mountains returned to the camp of the selected generals, they received great attention from the other two teams, and their eyes were full of dissatisfaction and jealousy.

After more than two months of intensive training, the Touchstone unit has reached a higher level of strength, and in the face of the verbal provocations of those defeated generals, they simply ignore it, rest when they should rest, and train when they should train.

Su Zhong and Pan Cheng, the two people who were once the strongest in the Xuanwei Army, had already lost their sharpness after two months of trivial training, and when they saw the training of the touchstone troops, they made a direct detour. People are now a team fighting wars, and they are about to accept the challenge of dozens of forbidden armies, and now they are doing logistics like the local army, how can they afford to lose people?

"Brother Su, I haven't seen you for many days, it's hard work!" Luo Cong led the team to the central school field, and saw Su Zhong leading people to clean up the construction waste and leftovers, and greeted him casually.

Su Zhong saw them coming from a distance, and he had already turned his back to avoid it, but he was still recognized by the other party, even if he was embarrassed, he could only turn around and replied without being salty: "We are miscellaneous, how can Brother Luo fight hard!" ”

Luo Cong smiled: "Brother Su is too modest, your barracks are so well repaired, how can you be miscellaneous." Let's go, in the evening, brothers have a good narrative! After speaking, he raised his hand and quickly followed the team towards the school grounds.

"Okay." Su Zhong smiled, and spit out a word in his mouth, but his heart was full of unwillingness.

"Look at it! All work hard for Lao Tzu, I must clean it up today, I can't finish it, I will do it all night at night! Su Zhong roared angrily, venting his grievances, he was the best in the Xuanwei Army, how did he become a handyman?

Pan Cheng watched Yao Chang and Luo Cong's team training at the school from afar, with envy in his eyes, but he didn't have the courage to approach, the opportunity was lost by himself, who could blame him?

At dusk, all the soldiers returned to the camp.

Shuai Ying, the right council room, a group of generals sit on the left and right, and Deputy Marshal Yang Congyi is in the center.

The four generals of the touchstone army are on the left, the four generals of the garrison are on the right, Lu You and Shen Jin are on the left and on the right, and the two sides do not look at each other, and the atmosphere is a little weird.

Looking at the slightly embarrassing situation in the conference hall, Yang Congyi didn't care, and only listened to him: "In three months, the construction of the general camp will be basically completed, and it is inseparable from your efforts, without your hard work, there would be no place for us to live now, and there would be no general camp, so first of all, I would like to thank Su Zhong, Pan Cheng, Lu Shenjun, Shen Shenjun and all the soldiers who participated in the construction of the general selection camp. Your dedication and achievements will always follow the Elective Battalion, and your name will be forever passed down because of this place! We owe a debt of gratitude to the builders! ”

After speaking, he raised his hand to Suzhou, Pan Cheng and others: "Thank you for your hard work!" ”

Luo Cong, Yao Chang and others hurriedly hugged their fists and thanked Su Zhong and the others: "Thank you for your hard work!" ”

Su Zhong and the others looked a little better, raised their hands in response, but did not speak.

Then Yang Congyi said: "Today is the ninth day of October, and many forbidden soldiers who have come to participate in the challenge of the general selection camp have already lived in the camp, and there are not a few days left before the deadline of October 15. The election camp is big, there was only us here before, I never care how you want to make trouble, but now it is different, other people come to the election camp, he is a guest, we are the hosts, they are candidates, we are propositions, so today I want to set a few rules for the election camp. ”

After a pause, he confirmed that everyone's attention was on him, and immediately said: "First, no alcohol is allowed inside or outside the camp; Second, everyone must get up at three o'clock and go to the school to practice; Article 3: Walking in the camp must be in line. It is not difficult to do these three for a day, but it is not easy to stick to them for a month or two, and I hope you will pay attention to them. We are the soldiers of the selection battalion, and our commander is the king of Pu'an, so we should be different, discipline our subordinates with high standards, and set an example for all the other forbidden troops who come to participate in the selection challenge. If we don't do as well as them, how can we be qualified and have the face to accept their challenges? Can you do it? ”

"Yes!" All the generals replied in unison.

"Okay, I hope you will do what you say, I will check at any time, and also accept your advice and reports, and if anyone violates the rules, there will be corresponding punishments." Yang Congyi's expression was grim, and after scanning everyone, he said: "The previous errands have come to an end, and there are still some errands to be arranged." Since the official start of the selection challenge is set for the first day of November, there is still half a month before the start of the selection of generals, in this half month, we have to teach them something, what to teach? ”

The generals listened intently, and some people muttered in their hearts, since they are here to challenge, why should they teach them things?

"Just teach the content of our training camp more than two months ago, and it has only been training for a short time, so you should not have forgotten it." Yang Congyi continued: "There will be a lot of teams to participate in the selection of generals, we don't have three heads and six arms, let us go by ourselves, we will definitely not be able to teach, so we need to select 400 people in the selection camp, and they will teach the content of the training, and the teaching time will be five days." How to choose people, let's talk about their opinions. ”

Su Zhong immediately asked, "Is it possible for each battalion to send out 400 people, or can one battalion send out 400 people?" If we can, we'll pack it, and I'll go out with four hundred people. ”

Yang Congyi didn't answer immediately, but asked, "What do you guys think?" Let's talk about it first. ”

Pan Cheng preemptively said: "I can also send out four hundred people, it's no problem to train them." ”

Yao Chang looked at Luo Cong, then at Su Zhong, Pan Cheng and others, and then said: "I'm going to accept their challenge soon, I still want to have more time to organize the team to practice the battle formation again, and we won't be out!" ”

Luo Cong immediately continued: "I think so too, the team can't draw people, we have to practice again, if we lose to them in the challenge, I can't afford to lose people." ”

Yang Congyi thought about it for a moment and said: "Okay, then so be it, Su Zhong and Pan Cheng, you each choose two hundred people, and the team that comes to participate in the selection of generals, each team will send ten people, who will be responsible for completing the training within five days, ensuring that they are proficient in making corresponding actions according to the password, and they also have to teach the military song." ”

"Yes, guaranteed!"

"Yes, sir!"

Su Zhong and Pan Cheng immediately responded.

If you can't face the teams that come to participate in the selection, it is also a good choice to train them and show your face in front of them.

"Also, the grain and grass should be transported back to the camp as soon as possible, and when the departments arrive, they will be distributed in full, so as not to cause trouble because of the ration problem. In addition, the camp will be closed from 16 October, and there will be sentry posts around it, and no idle people will be allowed to enter. As for the camp of the commander, according to my estimate, the king of Pu'an County is likely to be escorted by the Jinrui Forbidden Army, so you can arrange the guard force on the periphery, and leave a team here. Luo Cong, Yao Chang, you only need to do one thing, prepare for the war, and you don't have to interfere in anything else. Anything else you don't understand? After Yang Congyi made arrangements for the recent election of the general camp, he looked at everyone.

Seeing that the others were silent, Lu You said: "The grain and grass that can be mobilized in Yiwu County have been transported, and most of the grain in the granary of Dongyang County has also been transported. ”

Yang Congyi's heart trembled, and then asked: "Lu joined the army, didn't you have a good conversation with Lao Zhizhou last time you went to Jinhua?" Now that the autumn harvest is over, the people are abundant, and it is not difficult to recruit and deploy the people's strength, right? ”

Lu You hesitated for a moment, and replied: "My lord, I can indeed talk a few words to Lao Zhizhou, but whether the state government is willing to help or not is not Lao Zhizhou alone, to say something disrespectful, even if Lao Zhizhou is willing to help, he must transfer the busy officials of the state government." ”

Hearing this, Yang Congyi immediately understood the reason.

He has stayed in Taihu Lake and Huaining for a period of time, and he knows very well how the county Yazhou Yazhou is run, because the real officials are a minority, and most of the time they stay in the yamen, so only the officials who really do things, whether they do good or bad, the people below do not say, the officials will never know, plus the term of office of the officials is shorter, three years, or two years, the term of office of the important state government is shorter, the change is frequent, it is difficult to contact the real power, and over time, the real power of a state and a government falls into the hands of those old officials hired by the yamen, If the officials in charge want to do something practical, they have to consult with them, and say all the good things to them, if they don't want to do it, there is really nothing they can do.

Requisitioning and mobilizing the people's resources and transporting a large amount of grain and grass is not something that can be done in a day or two, and it is thankless, and it is reasonable that those officials in the state government do not want to do it.

The operation of the government has its own certain rules, if you want them to do things, it is definitely useless to come hard, today to drive out the officials who don't want to do things out of the yamen, today this matter is yellow, in the end you have to let the original officials come back and continue to do it, not to mention the delay before and after, or with them to have a mustard.

"Lu joins the army, we will discuss this matter later. Have more questions? "There are many people in the council hall, and the transportation of grain involves issues of interest, so it is not appropriate to discuss how to solve it in front of a group of generals, so Yang Congyi immediately put down the matter.

The crowd was silent.

"Since there is nothing to do, go and get busy, each of you. Lu joined the army, and Shen joined the army and stayed. ”

"Yes!" The generals got up and departed.

In an instant, only Lu You, Shen Jin, Yang Congyi and others were left in the hall.

"The problem of grain and grass transportation in Jinhua should be solved as soon as possible, sooner rather than later. How much grain can be transferred to Suxi in Jinhua granary? Yang Congyi asked.

"There is a lot of grain in Jinhua, and about 15,000 quintals can be allocated to us." Lu You replied.

"Fifteen thousand quintals of ......" Yang Congyi whispered, muttered for a while, and then raised his eyes and looked at Lu You.
