"Your Majesty, please think about the original intention, the governance of the early dynasty is a major matter that determines the livelihood of the people in the world, and it cannot be interrupted, in addition, please strengthen the supervision of officials, stop the wind of corruption, Your Majesty must be aware of it, the court is corrupt, and the victims are the people. On the day when there will be complaints, all the spearheads will be aimed at the Li royal family. Your Majesty, please pay attention to political affairs and care for the people. In this way, the people will regard His Majesty as the real Emperor Shengming. Undeterred, Minamoto continued to talk about his thoughts sincerely.

"You still haven't changed. Today, I will talk to my friends, if you are a courtier, you say so many arrogant and rude words, I will not spare you. Li Shimin saw that Zhixin was dedicated to the public, so he decided not to deal with Zhixin.

In 648 A.D., in the twenty-second year of the Zhenguan reign of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Ren Rail was transferred to the general of Zhengsi Pin of Jilu Prefecture, the capital of Anbei, and as soon as he arrived, he began to rectify the armament.

Ren Rail goes to the Armory to check the weapons in stock. Bing Cao flipped through the record book and tracked to Ren: "My lord, the number is not wrong. ”

"Are the numbers in the ledger really correct?" Ren Liang asked, picking up weapons one by one.

Some of the weapons were rotten and could not be used at all. The spear head of the lance fell off the barrel of the gun as soon as it touched it, and the Mo knife swung and slashed at the wood but it broke into two pieces with the wood, and the bowstring broke before the crossbow was full.

"Can such an inferior weapon take down the enemy and protect yourself? Weapons that cannot be used should not be indiscriminately recorded in the books. "Ren Orbit.

"But if that's the case, we don't have enough weapons and equipment. If you don't have enough weapons to report to your superiors, it's your responsibility, general. In order not to be punished, I have to hide something from you, the general. Bing Cao said.

"What is the biggest loss as a general? Do you know? ”

"This, General."

"When you are a general, the most afraid of losing is the brothers, because of the damaged weapons and the soldiers sacrifice in vain is the biggest loss, report the weapons that cannot be used truthfully, even if I am punished, I am not afraid."

Bing Cao sighed.

Ren Track: "Why don't you speak?" ”

"Yes, General."

Ren Rail was just about to leave the warehouse, and found rice piled up in the corner of the warehouse.

He asked, "What is this?" Aren't the weapons depots and ration depots kept in separate depots? ”

"General, this rice is not military food, it is the food that the people welcomed you when you arrived, General."

"Why do the people welcome me?"

"I heard that the general leads the troops well, loves the people like a son, and wins every battle against the enemy, so I naturally want to welcome the general."

"Nonsense!" Ren Liang roared angrily: "I have won some small battles, but just by these small battles, the people have heard of my reputation, who believes it." Hmph, in order to honor me, the people have to bring me their hard-earned food. What is the difference between us and the Turks? ”

"It's all the fault of the lower officials, and the lower officials will return the grain immediately." Bing Cao Cheng said in fear.

"Hmph, do you still want to fool me, I'm not easy to deceive." Ren orbit.

Bing Cao pretended to be puzzled.

"Is that all there is to the gift of welcoming me? It's really insincere. ”

"That's really all there is to you."

"I'm desperate to protect the people, let them give more."

Bing Cao had to report the situation to the adjutant general Wei Hong immediately.

"What? Isn't he disgusted enough? Wei Hong slapped the table and shouted.

Wei Hong continued: "It seems that we are thinking wrong, thinking that he is the same as the original general. ”

"I don't have enough money to spend, so I seem to want to get more from us." Hyoto Shosho continued.

"It's not that easy this time, absolutely not."

"Calm down, have you forgotten the rules of the Celestial Empire army? Obey the orders and obey absolutely, don't adults want to sit in the position of the general? ”

"Damn." Wei Hong was silent.

"The General has arrived!" The guards outside shouted.

Xiao Wei and Xiao Zhuang had no choice but to go out to greet them and said, "General, you are here." ”

"The roster of soldiers is with you, bring it to me." Ren Rail to Bing Cao Dao.

Xiao Zhuang Yileng didn't know what Ren Rail wanted to roster for.

"What are you doing? Don't bring it yet. Ren Liang shouted.

"Yes, my lord, please wait." The soldier trotted out, and came back a little later to hand in the roster of soldiers.

Ren Liang got the roster and turned around and left.

After Ren Liang left, Bing Cao said, "It's so hanging, I almost heard our plot." ”

After Bing Cao finished speaking, he sighed.

"Bastard, what are you sighing about? Isn't it just a discussion behind our backs, what are we afraid of? Wei Hong shouted.

Wei Hong took the soldiers out of the city and into the countryside to collect food again in the homes of the people.

Zhuang Yu reported the looted grain to Ren Rail: "General, are they all exchanged for silver?" ”

"In exchange for silver, I can't eat so much food if I keep it." Ren orbit.

"General, generally speaking, if the food that the people come with filial piety cannot be eaten, they can be rewarded to the soldiers, or even exchanged for wine and meat for the officers and soldiers, which can improve morale." Xiao Zhuang said.

"Are there still few examples of misdeeds due to alcohol in my Celestial Empire's army? Step aside. Ren Liang shouted.

In the tavern, the local people are drinking small wine and chatting depressedly.

"The new general is worse than the Turks, he robbed us of all the surplus food, and let us live? Isn't he afraid of the government forcing the people to rebel? Villager Yan Sandao.

"Yes, I have heard that the food taken is not given to the soldiers, but is sold for silver to fill my own pockets." Villager Jiang Si said.

"Yes, boss lady, what are you rubbing, hurry up and drink!"

"Hey, after drinking so much and talking nonsense, can you afford to pay for the drink?" The proprietress of the liquor store said.

"No matter, I have to drink more today to drown my sorrows with wine."

"Brother Jiang, if this continues, can we still live our lives?"

"What is the origin of this new general? We went to sue him and let him walk around without food. Li Ping on the side said.

Ren Liang looked through the roster and saw that there was a captain named Zhang Zhengcong under the lieutenant general Wei Hong, who was born in Orion.

The next day, Ren Liang called Zhang Zhengcong to the martial arts arena and said to him: "Hunters need to have a keen sense of sound, and they can catch up with their eyes as soon as they see it, so as not to let the prey escape, right?" ”

"Yes, General."

"How good is your archery?"

"It's just average, it's okay to shoot animals."

On the martial arts field, Zhao Zhenwei threw grass balls into the air, but unfortunately Zhang Zhengcong still shot five empty in succession, and he was a little frustrated.

"Like hunting, archery requires sensitivity to sound. Don't think of it as a straw, think of it as a pheasant and a hare, get it? ”

"Yes, General."

Sure enough, Zhang Zhengcong shot six grass balls one after another.

Seeing that the soldiers were making rapid progress under the training of Ren Rail, Xiao Wei and Xiao Zhuang looked depressed.

Ren Liang called the deputy general Wei Hong and the soldier Cao Zhuangyu to the general's mansion and asked: "Vice General Wei, are we more foot knife men than archers?" ”

"General, because we are weak in cavalry and shooting, it is mainly because we are in a defensive relationship, so we need more foot knife hands."

"Long-range combat is just as important as close-range combat."

"Yes, I see."

After Xiao Wei and Xiao Zhuang left, Xiao Wei said to Xiao Zhuang, "What were you thinking just now?" ”

"He doesn't seem to be a bad guy who is stubborn."

"What do you mean?"

"He trained the soldiers so quickly."

"That's just a way for him to stand up. Who wouldn't do this by such means? Xiao Wei pursed his lips and dismissed.
