"Report! Lu Yu asks to see General Zhai! ”

Just when Wang Qi came back to report to me, Lu Yu finally came.

I waved my hand to let Wang Qi go out first, and then shouted, "Come in!" ”

Lu Yu pushed open the door, walked in with his head up. As soon as Wang Qi saw his arrogant demeanor, he didn't bother to greet him, turned sideways and walked past and left.

Although I already knew what Lu Yu was doing without leading the troops to drill just now, I didn't want to directly demolish him in person, so I asked first: "How is the hook formation training of your ninth battalion?" ”

"I've already practiced it!"

"Where's the Xuanxiang Array?"

"I'm also proficient!"

"So what kind of formation are you practicing today?"

“……”

Lu Yu ran out early in the morning, and naturally he didn't even know what formation his troops had practiced today. And he knew that I had already gone to the ninth battalion to inspect it, and this lie was not easy to tell.

When I saw that he was speechless, I changed my way and asked directly, "Why didn't you ask me for leave first when you went out during class today?" ”

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, but still replied without squinting: "Judge Lu sent someone to call me, and I was in a hurry, so I couldn't report to the general in time." It was my fault! ”

This excuse is high-sounding. And although he said that it was his fault, his eyes did not mean to admit his mistake at all.

However, I didn't want to compare myself with him, so I only criticized: "I see that your energy has shifted a little bit recently, so you should put more effort into training." In the future, if you go to the battlefield and your soldiers fight together, how will you command? ”

"Yes. Subordinates understood! Lu Yu still replied dryly.

Although he agreed, he still had that kind of arrogance on his face, and he didn't seem to care, obviously just trying to deal with me.

I couldn't help but be a little annoyed, but then I thought, "Forget it! He likes to make these small amounts of money, so he will do it, anyway, as long as he does not openly violate military discipline. Even if something really happens, I can't blame it, and his great-uncle Lu Zhidao came forward to help him block it. Why should I bother with him? ”

So I waved my hand impatiently and said, "Just know it, go down!" ”

"Subordinates say goodbye!"

Lu Yu gave me a military salute, then turned to leave. But the moment he turned around, I could clearly see him snickering with the corners of his mouth crooked.

Hmph, what a guy who doesn't know what to do!

After returning to the underworld, except for the small incident of finding that Lu Yu wanted to make extra money secretly, nothing else happened. Even if the yang world took revenge measures to squeeze out Yin Xiu because of the Maoshan Dao Society, but in the underworld, it was the same as in the peaceful and prosperous times, and all ministries and departments still carried out routine work and followed the steps. The Yin army may not have been assigned to an assignment for a long time, but the next two months have been very stable.

Gan Sheng, who had just become the marshal of Riyou, also began to be active at this time. He often entertained the high-level officials of the prefecture, staggered the plans, or gave gifts to his liking, so as to consolidate his position. Occasionally, he would summon our henchmen to his marshal's mansion to eat and drink, and win people's hearts.

But all of this alone put aside his former boss, Marshal Night Tour. It's clear that we're going to start fighting!

It's no wonder that Gan Sheng is now a marshal of the day tour, and he is even ranked in front of the marshal of the night tour in terms of name, so naturally he doesn't need to look at the face of the night tour.

The marshal of the night tour seemed to be unconcerned about this, and did not make any public response. However, from my observations in the court council, the king of Yama seems to have attached more importance to the opinion of the marshal of the night tour when confronted with military problems. After all, the qualifications and experience of this old minister are there, and the new Marshal Gan Sheng still has a long way to go to win the trust of King Yama.

However, instead of becoming more tranquil with this peaceful day, I was disgusted by the various open and secret battles, the official struggles and the filthy and corrupt atmosphere in front of me.

One night, Liu Han came to me again. After some passion, I took advantage of the rest to ask her: "If I resign like Lu Lian and quit, are you willing to leave the underworld with me?" ”

Liu Han was very surprised, and asked rhetorically: "You are now a Yin General, why did you suddenly say that you want to leave?" ”

I said, "My current position is not low, but I am not very happy to stay, so I thought of this problem." ”

"Why aren't you happy?" Liu Han was still puzzled.

"You should also be able to see that the Yin Army is now a strong force in the middle, with serious empty salaries at all levels, high-level nepotism, uneven people's hearts, and loose military discipline, and it is no longer the original iron army!"

"What you say is true." Liu Han agreed, "But what does this have to do with whether you resign or not?" ”

"I just look a little upset. Even outside the Yin Army, all kinds of unhealthy tendencies are rampant at all levels of the prefecture's various divisions, and corruption is in power, and if we continue to stay here, I am afraid that we will inevitably be assimilated by them. ”

"Yo he!" Liu Han immediately laughed at me, "It's very decent to say this, it seems that you are very tall?" ”

I smiled bitterly: "I've always been decent, okay?" You've been with me for so long, don't you know me? ”

"I don't think you're calling this decency, it's called hypocrisy!"

"Hey, don't bring such a hurtful person! Let's get down to business! ”

"No kidding?"

"No kidding!"

Liu Han laughed for a while, then thought about it seriously, and said: "I really haven't considered this question, and don't say whether you want to leave or not, even if you really decide to leave, where do you plan to go?" I'm definitely not going back to Zuoqiu City! ”

I said, "I'm still thinking about that." If you don't go to Zuoqiu City, there are still many other Yin Cities that you can go to. Besides, we are all people who have been in the Yin Army, and we can lead troops to fight, are we afraid that no one will be willing to take us in? ”

Liu Han just took it seriously, and teased me again: "Don't you still know how to stir-fry?" Why don't you go and open a restaurant, I'll be your nursing home! ”

I also laughed and said, "That's an idea, let's open a mom-and-pop shop!" ”

"Smack!"

"Ouch!"

As soon as the words fell, I was hit in the head. Liu Han scolded: "Don't think about this kind of thing, do I look like the kind of person who sings with his wife?" ”

"Then you can't beat your boss either!" I touched my head and said angrily, "It's not big or small!" ”

"Hmph, you still want to show off your boss's majesty in bed? Didn't you surrender one night with your guns on your stomach! ”

"What do you call surrender? It's a lot of physical effort for a man to do this, right? ”

"Weak is weak, don't make excuses!"

"Underestimate me again? Come on, come on, fight again! ”

I got on my horse and fought again with my gun, and that's the end of the topic just now.

Obviously, Liu Han seems to be very satisfied with his current situation and does not really want to leave. And since she doesn't want to go, I'm definitely not going to go. So I just mentioned it in passing that night, and I didn't have any actual plans at all.

However, to our surprise, a sudden circumstance forced me to make the decision to leave the underworld in advance!

The next month, it was my turn to guard the Ghost Gate Pass. As a rule, one battalion is assigned to guard the duty duty every day, while the other battalions are on standby in the army. As a general, I definitely don't need to be there every day, only to go over and make rounds once in a while.

However, the Ghost Gate Pass is the gate of the underworld, and personnel have to pass through here to enter and exit, so the duty is more critical than guarding other ministries and departments. Out of prudence, I have to go around almost every day to feel at ease.

Nothing happened for the first half of the month, everything was calm. In the middle of the month, I went to inspect the guard of the Ghost Gate Pass as usual, and I also took the old subordinates of the Chinese army, Du Zong and Wang Qi, with me.

That day, it was the turn of the ninth battalion led by Lu Yu to be on duty. But when I got to the ghost gate, Lu Yu, who was supposed to personally lead the team, was not there!

I called one of the chiefs on duty and asked where Lu Yu had gone?

The chief didn't dare to hide it from me, so he just pointed his hand. It turned out that Lu Yu didn't run too far, and ran to pick up the introduction of the division to sneak around!

I immediately got angry, and asked Du Zong to go over and call him over is a lecture. Lu Yu came back without saying a word, and stood straight in front of me for me to train, but the expression of dissatisfaction and disdain on his face was not concealed at all.

This completely angered me, and he directly ordered on the spot: "Lu Yu left his post without permission and disobeyed his boss!" Now I deprive you of the command of the ninth battalion of the left army of the Japanese tour, and leave it to Du Zong for the time being. You go back to the camp yourself to face the wall and reflect, and tomorrow a meeting of the military headquarters will be held to decide what to do with you! ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was surprised. Lu Yu stared at me straight, his face turned red, as if he couldn't imagine that I would dare to give him such a faceless face in public.

I also glared back unceremoniously and angrily reprimanded: "Why, do you still dare to disobey military orders? ”

Lu Yu looked left and right again, and saw that no one dared to help him speak out at this time, and the backstage and background were useless for the time being. So, in the end, he forcibly resisted and didn't dare to directly conflict with me, and went back to the camp with a sigh of resentment.

drove Lu Yu away, and I said to Du Zong: "Today's duty task of the Ghost Gate Pass will be handed over to you." Take care of these soldiers, and be bold! If anyone disobeys the military order, they will be severely punished! ”

"Yes, General!" Du Zongli replied.

"Especially a few of you!" I turned my head and said solemnly to the chiefs, "Du Zong is now the acting captain of the ninth battalion, and you all have to listen to his orders!" ”

"Yes!"

Those chiefs were furious when they saw me, and even Lu Yu, who had the toughest relationship, was deprived of command, where did they dare to disobey?

I lost my temper, and I was still unhappy, so I personally supervised and inspected before the ghost gate was closed, and I did not return to the camp until the end of the day. At this time, there are only two hours left before the handover of the ninth and tenth battalions, and presumably with the experience of Du Zong, an old officer, should be able to cope with it.
