Early the next morning, Xiao Wang came to see Lu Chen, and after asking the servants in the mansion to bring him, Lu Chen met him in the living room, Xiao Wang was still the same as yesterday, wearing a shabby armor and carrying a wooden long sword on his back.

After the other party saluted, Lu Chen couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Xiao Wang, that wooden sword on your back seems to be extremely important to you?" ”

Xiao Wang first nodded, then shook his head and said: "Lord Hui, my subordinates joined the army to hang a sword from their waists, although this sword is wooden, but it is a symbol, it can remind me of my ambition at any time!" ”

"I see." Lu Chen nodded suddenly, and said: "I look at your words and deeds, it seems that you have some unique views on the affairs of the border city, I don't know if I can tell this official." As he spoke, seeing that Xiao Wang was still slightly bent over and standing there stiffly, Lu Chen waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

After receiving Lu Chen's signal, Xiao Wang first bowed his hand after sitting down, and then said: "My lord, people think that the disaster of the border city is all due to the attack of the barbarian soldiers, that is, the external trouble; However, the subordinates think that external troubles are secondary, and the most important thing is internal worries. ”

"Oh?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, took a sip of the tea brought by the servant, and motioned for Xiao Wang to continue.

Xiao Wang didn't continue, but suddenly changed his words and asked tentatively: "Before that, please forgive your subordinates for daring to ask your lord, I don't know what your ambition is?" ”

When Lu Chen heard this, his hand holding the teacup froze slightly, then stared at Xiao Wang, and said playfully: "What?" You mean, if the official doesn't answer this question, then you won't tell the official what you think of the border city, right? ”

His words obviously had a faint threat, and after Xiao Wang heard it, he hurriedly got up from the chair and knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said: "The subordinates don't dare, the adults ask, the subordinates naturally know everything, but they ......"

Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, although the movements on his face showed a very panicked look, his tone was extremely calm and calm, and he did not seem to be flustered at all.

Lu Chen understood what he meant, waved his hand and said, "You get up first, don't give a big gift at every turn." "To be honest, although Lu Chen has integrated into the new identity of the county guard and accepted all the information of this era, he is a modern person after all, with an enlightened mind, and it is still quite difficult to accept the red tape and some rules and regulations of this era for a while.

"Master Xie." Xiao Wang said, and Yi Yan sat back in the chair.

It's just that no matter how Lu Chen looks, he thinks that Xiao Wang is sitting upright, he secretly smiled bitterly, and he also understands that in this era, the upper is the top, the lower is the bottom, and the thoughts between Xiao Wang and him are essentially different. He didn't say much about it, put down the teacup and said: "This official can tell you the truth, this official came here to serve in order to expel the barbarian soldiers, defend the fathers and villagers in the border city, and give me a peaceful and stable border with Gafeng!" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Wang, and said: "You can not believe what the official said, but the official can also tell you clearly, the officials of the previous county guards don't know, and they don't want to know, but if the official is here, then there will never be another thing that the barbarians wantonly plunder!" Even if there is! Then you have to step on the corpses of countless soldiers and officials! ”

His impassioned remarks made Xiao Wang's eyes light up, and the latter slid his body closely, knelt down from the chair, and said excitedly: "My subordinates will thank you for the 170,000 people in Border City and County!" ”

Oh, my God! Why do people in this era like to give big gifts so much! Lu Chendun was a little speechless, but he didn't know how much shock his words just now had for Xiao Wang, or rather, anyone who wanted to make a difference in the border city army didn't know how long they had been looking forward to such words.

In the past, a county guard like Lu Chen, Xiao Wang could not even dream of it, he was not a simple-minded martial artist like Zhao Chuan, although he was very excited about Lu Chen's performance yesterday, but he also wanted to understand whether this new county guard really wanted to do something in the border city.

At this time, Lu Chen's performance shocked his spirits, and at the same time, he decided to say all the thoughts in his heart in one go, he said: "My lord, the current internal worries in the border city can be divided into three points. Although the Wuguan garrison is not in the county army, the nature of the county guard is also different from other counties, but the county head is still the top boss of the adult, and the county also has the responsibility and obligation to provide military resources and armaments for Wuguan, so the first point is that the adult must communicate with the county to have a good relationship, you must know that fighting is to burn money, the border city is bitter cold, there is no tax at all, there is no support from the county, I am convenient to have no food, grass and ordnance to support the army, and I can't fight with the brute soldiers at all... …”

Even Lu Chen, a modern person, understands this, so the first thing he did when he came to this world was to go to the county to ask for equipment, but these little soldiers Xiao Wang didn't know it now. Lu Chen didn't explain, stretched out his hand and said, "What about the second and third, you continue." ”

Xiao Wang didn't ink, and continued: "Second, it is the military spirit, if the army's heart is unstable, then even if there is good equipment and more money and food, the army raised will be a group of rabble, and it will be impossible to fight the barbarians, let alone defeat the barbarians." At present, although there are 30,000 defenders on our side, except for the soldiers under the command of General Zhao Chuan of the First Corps, who are still a little bloody, the soldiers of the other two corps have already been beaten and feared by the barbarians, and it is okay to let them bully and bully ordinary people, if they are really allowed to go to the battlefield, they will only become fish and meat to be slaughtered. The subordinates thought that in fact, the barbarians were not as terrible as everyone imagined, although the barbarians were fierce, but they were still human after all, and the subordinates also believed that with the ability of adults, as long as the hearts of our army were condensed, then the general of my gale would not be worse than the barbarians......"

Lu Chen thought for a moment and motioned for him to continue.

"The third is the people's heart. Let me ask you, if our defenders fight against the barbarians, if even the common people do not support or are not optimistic, then who are the soldiers fighting for? Will they still have the mentality of throwing their heads and spilling blood? In other words, if the people in the city support our soldiers one after another, worship them as if they were heroes, and trust them, then the subordinates think that the soldiers also have the determination and belief to fight to the end! And now, in the eyes of the people in the county, the border army has become almost a bandit bully, if we don't govern it, then the people will see us as a 'barbarian soldier' in the city pass, so that the people's hearts will be ......lost."
