The moon in the sky was exceptionally bright and bright, and the cold moonlight sprinkled down, illuminating the ground as if it were day, and the flashlight held in it was useless at all.

The leaves around the courtyard did not move, and the moonlight shone through the dense leaves, spoking on the ground. It's Mayday, and it's a bit crazy when there's no breeze at all.

I walked slowly to the courtyard gate and quietly opened the door, but I was startled by the scene in front of me.

Under the bright moonlight, I saw a soldier in personal attire, squatting on the steps in front of the door, bowing his head, looking intently at the book in his hand, not noticing my arrival at all, as if he had reached a state of complete forgetfulness.

I took a closer look from the side, this young soldier should have never seen him, and he didn't look like a disciple of Lin Jiabao and Guo Jiazhai. It's just that this seemingly studious soldier is so immersed in books that he even forgets his duties.

I smiled slightly, at this time, the cultural level of soldiers was very low, and there were very few people who could read for two years, and even fewer people who liked to read as soldiers. Such studious and motivated people should be malleable, and they should be carefully cultivated when they find an opportunity.

I slowly approached him, his face was a little immature, but it was angular and quite tense, his big black eyes barely blinked, and his brow was thick and deep, which did not match his age at all.

However, I seem to have met this young man once, but I really don't have a clear impression now.

I deliberately coughed lightly, and the young tooth soldier jumped up nervously, threw the book in his hand to the ground, and pulled out his waist knife as quickly as he could, and shouted, "Who is here!" ”

But when he saw my face clearly, he immediately put the knife into the sheath, and made a military salute on one leg, and said in a deep voice in a nervous and self-reproachful tone: "My subordinates are on duty and neglect, please punish the commander." ”

I looked at the young man in front of me, who was not a few years younger than me, and I had a good impression of his quick reaction and unflustered behavior.

I pretended to be serious and said, "How should I be punished for being on duty and ignoring it?" ”

"Returning to the marshal, according to the military law of the Han Dynasty, the light will be thirty military sticks, and the heavy will be beheaded for public display."

"Oh! You are still very clear about the military rules and precepts, today seems to be your first day on duty, didn't your captain Lin Bu explain to you? ”

"Back to the marshal, Captain Lin has explained many times, and he blames his subordinates for being careless and paralyzed, relaxing their vigilance, and his subordinates are willing to be punished by the marshal."

I bent down and picked up the book he had dropped on the ground, only to see that the cover of the book had the words "Huangshi Gong Sanluo" written on it, and I flipped through it casually, but it turned out to be an ancient military book.

I couldn't help but smile and said, "I forgot to read your books, although I was not alert enough, but my attention was still very focused." Oh! How should Ben Shuai punish you? Well! Now that you know that you are wrong, Ben Shuai hopes that this is your true inner thoughts, and you can change your mistakes if you know them, and promise that you will never do it again in the future, and Ben Shuai will not punish you today. ”

"However, this way of reading is not advisable for you, just reading by moonlight not only damages your eyes, but also derelicts your duties and relaxes your vigilance. If by the time the enemy takes your head, everything is irreparable. If you lose the center and shake the morale of the army, you will die a hundred deaths. In the future, we must not be so irresponsible. ”

"Yes, Dashuai, his subordinates have failed in their duties, and they have long regretted it, and they promise that they will never do it again in the future, please wait and see the aftermath."

"Hey, hey! Get up! What is your name? Where are you? I asked casually.

"Hui Dashuai, his subordinate Pan Chongche is a person from Guangnan Nanhai."

"Oh! What the? Pan Chongche? Pan Chongche? Oh! How does it sound familiar to me? Oh! Yes. ”

I looked at the young man in front of me in a daze, and I couldn't believe my eyes. You must know that after crossing over, I often read the history of the Five Dynasties, and I remember very clearly that there seems to be a eunuch named Pan Chongche, who should be the first general in the late Southern Han Dynasty of the Five Dynasties, and I am still very impressed by this. If it was really the young man in front of him, it would be really bizarre.

I carefully recalled the records in the historical materials, and remembered that Pan Chongche had been active in the late Southern Han Dynasty, and according to the approximate age, the current Pan Chongche is almost this age.

I stabilized my mood and continued to ask, "How old are you this year, and when did you start joining the army?" ”

"I only joined the army last year, and I just turned eighteen this year." Pan Chongche, who was a little dizzy by my gaffe just now, replied cautiously.

Hehe! I know that I have picked up a treasure, and the young man in front of me who loves to read military books and has an extraordinary bearing should be Pan Chongche, a famous general in history. However, the history books say that he is an out-and-out eunuch! But looking at him, it doesn't look like it at all.

No matter how much, maybe it will be a coincidence in the future, which caused him to embark on the road of eunuchs.

Although Pan Chongche is still a little immature now, he will be a surprising figure more than ten years later. Now I'm going to take him for my own use, and then cultivate him well, and the usefulness is of course self-evident.

I immediately encouraged him to read more military books and tactics when he had free time, to ask his seniors for advice, and to use them flexibly in actual combat, so that his future prospects would certainly be extraordinary.

After instructing him to be on duty, I returned to the house happily as if I had picked up a treasure.

Early the next morning, as soon as I came to the study of the council hall, Lin Yi walked in with a few pieces of paper and said: "Dashuai, the draft of the chapter submitted to the imperial court has been drafted by the lower officials, please take a look at it." ”

I took it and put it on top of the handsome case, opened it and looked at it carefully. I saw the opening of the cantata:

Long live our emperor Li Yi invited the favor of heaven and was entrusted with the important Jin, and he was terrified, and he traveled all night and went to Yunnan for the first time. However, Sun Thief Decheng has long had different ambitions, and he has long had the heart of rebellion and self-reliance. The ministers enter Yunnan, that is, they encounter fierce and stubborn, they will want to kill the ministers and then quickly, God is fortunate that the emperor is blessed by virtue, the sages and righteous people are supported by each other, the loyal ministers and good generals are helped, the plot is plotted, the killing force is concentric, the plan is to kill the grandson thief Decheng, capture more than 1,000 party henchmen, and make Yunnan return to the Han Dynasty. Relying on the power of heaven and earth, the hope of the people, the sages near and far are called happy, the heavens are given, how fortunate it is!

The following is a brief introduction to the specific counterinsurgency process and all the meritorious officers and soldiers. Of course, I didn't forget to make a note of the unauthorized act of misappropriating fake property to reward soldiers, which is much safer than reporting it afterwards. At the end is a detailed list of the false property of the Sun thief and the list of fallen soldiers.

I read it carefully and saw that Lin Yi's wording was decent, thoughtful and detailed, although it was slightly exaggerated, but it was basically in line with the facts. In particular, it highlights my glorious image, what is the first soldier, deep into the tiger's den, the hand blade of the great rebellion, a lifelike image of Wei Guangzheng jumped on the paper, I saw a lot of emotion.

Putting down the music in my hand, I rubbed my eyes, only to find that Lin Yi's eyes were red and swollen, and even the black bags under his eyes came out, I smiled and said: "You won't have slept all night, look at your eyes are about to be swollen, don't be tired!" ”

Lin Yi smiled slightly bitterly: "I can't finish writing the chapter, how dare the lower officials sleep, if the commander thinks it is appropriate, I will immediately ask people to copy a copy quickly, and it should be completed at night." ”

I nodded and continued: "Please work harder for Master Lin, as soon as possible to work out the bereavement items and reward standards for the wounded and wounded, to be as generous as possible, we will announce it and put it into practice in the next few days, you see how it goes." ”

Lin Yi nodded and agreed, and was about to turn around and go out, when I suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Brother Lin go slowly, I don't know something, and I was about to ask you for advice." ”

Lin Yi stopped, turned around and said with a smile: "The handsome person asks, what else do you want to talk about!" ”

I smiled and said, "Now only you know best here, I don't ask you who to ask." Hehe! What I want to say is that the second uncle once made the materials for paving roads and walls, and the effect is very good, and I am also very impressed. I think if it can be used to build roads, repair city walls, etc., it will be far better than ordinary blue bricks and rammed earth! What do you think? ”

"Oh! Dashuai even took this into account, hehe! In fact, Xia Guan also thought about it this way, but he has been busy with affairs recently, and he hasn't had time to mention it to the marshal. Dashuai, according to Xia Guan's opinion, this matter is absolutely feasible, and the stones needed to make this material are very many in the mountains around our Lin Jiabao, and the supply of materials should not be a problem. It's just that grinding and calcination are a bit laborious and require a large number of manpower, otherwise it is difficult to meet the needs in terms of output. Lin Yi said confidently.
