Cai Wenji teased: "May I ask Liu Gongzi, how many of the 'Three Books and Six Rites' have you done?" ”

Liu Yong said blankly: "What do you mean by 'three books and six rites'?" Yan'er, tell me about it, I don't understand it at all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Cai Wenji explained with a smile: "The 'three books' refer to the letter of appointment, the letter of ceremony and the letter of welcome used in marriage; The 'six rites' are the six rituals in the process of seeking marriage and completing the marriage, which are Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, inviting and greeting. ”

Liu Yong sighed "Oh" and said suspiciously: "Didn't I give Qiao Gong a Geng sticker and give a gift?" ”

Cai Wenji hated: "What about me? And Sister Diao Chan and Sister Yun'er, have you ever been down? ”

Liu Yong said suddenly: "How many of you don't have parents, how can you let me go?" ”

Cai Wenji feigned anger and said: "Who said no." Last year, Qiao Gong came to Xudu, my sister and I thought that there were no relatives in this world, Qiao Gong was amiable, and he loved our sisters very much, so we recognized him as our father-in-law. Geng stickers and Cheng Rites can't be ordered, but it's always okay to invite and welcome in person, right? In short, what Sister Ying'er has in the future, we all have to have. Sister, do you think this is the reason? The latter sentence is addressed to Diao Chan.

Diao Chan said quietly: "I don't understand, I listen to you." ”

Liu Yong was shocked when he heard this, Cai Wenji used to be married to Ming Media, but Diao Chan was a concubine, and Wang Yun sent it directly to Dong Zhuo's mansion, so it is estimated that there is no ceremony. This time, she can't be sloppy, and she has to make up for her regrets. Thinking of this, Liu Yong said with a straight face: "Yan'er, if you tell me what to do, I will do it one by one, and there will never be half a point missing." ”

Cai Wenji smiled like a flower and said, "That's right." The previous ones have to be forgotten, and there is only 'invitation' and 'welcome' left. Ming'er, you have to ask a respected person to tell the gods to set a good auspicious date, and then prepare a generous gift to send to Qiao's house, and obtain Qiao's consent, this is called 'please period'. If the Qiao family writes back and agrees. The eldest brother will go to Wancheng to marry in person, which is called 'personal welcome'. But you don't have to worry, you don't have to wait for your stepfather to come back to the book, Sister Diao Chan and I will naturally get it done. ”

Liu Yong smiled: "You mean to say." You and Cicada are going to Wancheng first, and then I'll go and pick you up with the other two girls? ”

Cai Wenji smiled: "You're not too stupid. ”

Liu Yong also smiled: "Actually, I also plan to do this, but I'm afraid that you will work hard all the way, so I haven't said it yet." ”

"This is the biggest thing in our women's lives, what is this hard work?" Cai Wenji grinned. Turning his head to Diao Chan, he said, "Sister, did you say it?" Diao Chan's body trembled slightly, and he hummed softly, and his face was infinitely shy. Liu Yong saw that her face was as bright as the morning glow, and she was extremely charming, and she couldn't help but be stunned and drunk.

After a while, Liu Yongfang said: "The injury on the cicada's foot is not too good, you sisters will rest for a few days first." Then I'll ask Liao Hua to send you over. He also passed Zhou Cang and said: "Please Yu Gong, let's go and see our own house." ”

Yueming Lake is extremely wide, there are 20 miles around the lake, Yu Pan took Liu Yong and his party to talk while walking, and enjoy the lake and mountains together.

After a while, everyone walked through a piece of pink wall to a vermilion lacquer door, Liu Yong looked up, and saw two big characters inscribed on the black plaque - "Liu Mansion". Liu Yong looked back and smiled: "This is Yu Gong's ink treasure." Yu turned his hand and smiled: "It's ugly." The guards on duty in front of the door knew Liu Yong's identity, so they came over and bowed down.

Liu Yong smiled and returned the salute. Yu laughed and said, "Young Master Liu, you are the master here. Let's get in. ”

Liu Yong said abruptly: "Although I am the master, I have never been here, so it is better for Yu Gong to lead the way." ”

Yu Fu laughed, "Childe, please!" And they came into the house. I saw pavilions, pavilions, ponds, pavilions, and water pavilions, which were scattered and scattered, hidden in the green pines and cypresses; Rockeries, strange stones, flower beds and caves, unique ingenuity, dotted in the meantime; Vines, green bamboos, flowing water and swimming fish, have no special interest. Elegant but not luxurious. Natural and not artificial.

Yu Fu recounted the process of building the house in detail. It turned out that Yu Tuo was grateful for Liu Yong's exploits, so he secretly ordered Liu Yong to build a mansion below. Yu Tuoben wanted to keep a low profile and surprise Liu Yong. I didn't think that the people in the county heard about this, and thought that Fuyi could have today's achievements, and that his family could be rich and healthy, and Liu Yong made great contributions, so there was an endless stream of people who came to give gifts and thanks, some sent gold and silver antiques, some sent silk and satin, and some sent rare treasures...... Yu Chuan knew Liu Yong's temperament and refused them one by one. But I can't stand the bitter begging of everyone, and I can't turn it over, so I have to say that valuables are not allowed, if you have to give gifts to your heart, a flower and a stone, a grass and a tree, it will be enough to express your heart. These people sighed even more, and their admiration and reverence were even more irrepressible. The craftsmen who built the houses were extremely ingenious and delicate in their construction, so as to show their hearts.

Liu Yong sighed: "This is all the care of the rich and righteous people for Liu Yong." ”

The next day, Liu Yong first convened Wei Yan, Gan Ning and other officers at all levels to convene a military meeting. Liu Yong first asked about the situation on Dong Xi's side. After hearing that Dong Xi and his entourage safely escorted Emperor Xian into Xiangyang smoothly, the big stone in Liu Yong's heart finally fell to the ground. Then, Wei Yan, the Governor of the Army, and Gan Ning, the Governor of the Navy, respectively reported on the current army construction and troop deployment in Luoyang.

At present, there are 60,000 troops in the entire country, including 5,000 cavalry; 20,000 sailors. Wei Yan and Gan Ning saw that the competition training, actual combat simulation training, and happy training mode formulated by Liu Yong at the beginning were extremely effective, so they continued to implement them, but the difference was that the army's tactics and tactics had risen several notches compared with before.

Wei Yanxian said: "Taishou, the day before yesterday, Prime Minister Yu once said that Fuyi has completed the first phase of planning, but the city has not been expanded, this is the suggestion of his subordinates." With Fuyi County as the center, more than 10 small cities have been developed around as attached cities, so that they can help each other and support each other in order to become horns. ”

Liu Yong asked Gan Ning again: "Xingba also means this?" ”

Gan Ning nodded and said, "Xiaguan also thinks that it is not a good thing for one city to be dominant. If a strong enemy is coming, you can only fight alone, and the situation is critical. If they divide and refuse, they can rush to each other's aid, so that the enemy will lose one and the other, and the siege will be self-relieved. ”

Yu turned his hand and said: "The lower officials also feel that the words of the two governors are reasonable, so they will adopt it first." But I don't know what Taishou thinks? ”

Liu Yong smiled: "I said before, in the military, both of you have the final say. You are an insider, I am a layman, let me, a layman, come to command blindly, it will not be chaotic, I must lose the battle. Therefore, I am only responsible for proposing mission objectives, and the specific military deployment and tactics are up to you to decide. In other words, I only have the right to suggest, not the right to decide, understand? ”

As a commander, the most taboo and headache is Shangguan's self-righteous intervention, so Wei Yan and Gan Ning were overjoyed, and they arched their hands and said in unison: "Understood." ”

"However, there is one thing I must make clear, that is, the composition of each grassroots company cannot be changed. Although it is said that 'a thousand troops are easy to obtain, a general is hard to find'. The military book also says: The momentum of the three armies is more important than the general. This all shows the importance of the general to an army, the core of this collective, and his life and death determine the success or failure of this army. Liu Yong continued, "However, the flaw of such an army is also very obvious, that is, as long as there is a little accident, such as the enemy's sneak attack, ambush, etc., it is easy to mess up and collapse." It can be said that it can dominate for a while, but it must not be dominant. For example, in the just-concluded Battle of Guandu, I only set a fire to burn the military rations of Wuchao, and hundreds of thousands of Yuan troops collapsed in an instant. Therefore, I believe that it is equally important to attach importance to the training of non-commissioned officers, especially the coordination and coordination of various branches of the armed forces. ”

Gan Ning admired: "Taishou is extremely right. But what general wouldn't want his men to be well-equipped and valiant in battle? It's not that they don't want to, but they don't allow it at all if they don't have the conditions, and in the end it's because of the silver. ”

Liu Yong sighed deeply. Liu Yong had heard about this reason from Liu Bei before, but he only sighed at the time, and this time he heard Gan Ning say the same thing, and Liu Yong knew that this was a common problem of all armies in the late Han Dynasty. Because there are many warlords, you are fighting for each other, and the day is precarious, so most of the soldiers lack systematic training, have low morale, and lack combat effectiveness. By the time the Three Kingdoms were on their feet, the leading figures of various countries changed from the original emphasis on individual force to the emphasis on leading the army and managing the army, and vigorously carried out the reorganization and training of the army.

Wei Yan said: "Taishou, the last general is an ordinary soldier. I know all the ills you mentioned, and I think so. I have devoted myself to studying Taishou's method of military training, and I very much agree with it. Unlike other armies, there is only one backbone, but ours is different, even if this spine is broken, there are still countless bones to support it. I heard that when Lu Bu attacked Xiaopei, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei's army was crushed with one blow, and only the formation of the Taishou troops was not chaotic and could still wait for an opportunity to counterattack, which made Lu Bu's army suffer a big loss. ”

Gan Ning also said: "Don't worry, Gan Ning also feels the same way." Nowadays, the training of the Ruyuan Navy also uses the method of Taishou, which is infinitely powerful and can be independent. "Wei Yan and Gan Ning are not traditional scholars, and they have shared hardships with the soldiers, so they can better understand and agree with General Liu Yong's idea of building an army with more heavy troops.

Liu Yong said happily: "It seems that our thoughts are the same. This is the best, you two rest assured, I will ensure sufficient supply of silver and materials, and you can expand the army and train it. After Cao Cao pacified Yuan Shao, he would move south, and we had to take precautions as early as possible. ”

Wei Yan said: "Taishou, the rest is easy to handle." It's just that there are too few war horses and limited cavalry. ”

Liu Yong nodded and said, "Although we are also vigorously breeding and raising military horses, the time is short, and it will only take time." However, we are now focusing on defense and do not take the initiative to attack, and the lack of war horses is not a big problem. ”

"Taishou has just returned from the Jizhou battlefield, in your opinion, can we resist Cao Cao's army?" Although Wei Yan has outstanding ability, he just lacks actual combat, so he is very worried. (To be continued.) )
