Part 4: The Study of the Wind Festival
Fan Yao never expected that it would be Lu Dongli who would take over his position. But the matter has come to this point, and I have to greet him with a smile. Fortunately, Lu Dongli is also humble and kind, his mouth is full of Fan Yao's exploits as a border marshal, and he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, just to learn from him, take him as a model, and expect to get his guidance.
Of course, Fan Yao was inconvenient to give him a face, and said with the same smile on his face, Lord Lu is young and promising, and he will have amazing achievements, etc......
In short, hello, I'm good, everyone, no one can see how deep the mustard in these two hearts is.
That is, to hand over and resign, of course, it is indispensable to count the items.
The two front and rear commanders counted the rosters together, cleared the horses and vehicles, and then went to the munitions depot to check the fineness, baggage, and grain and grass. Really calculated, the accounts of a large army, in a few days, don't think about it seriously.
However, Lu Dongli also knows that there must be strange flaws in this account, and it is really necessary to seriously investigate it, but everyone is not good-looking.
Zhao Guo has always been aware of the false accounts and empty salaries in the army, not to mention that the hundred officials don't care much, even the emperor almost acquiesced to these. If you really want to find out the shortfall of the fake account, everyone is not good-looking, and if you investigate it, it will only be resolved.
Therefore, this kind of inventory is basically a formality, and it only took half a day, even if the handover was completed.
Fan Yao had already packed his bags, and he was waiting to be on the road, and it was Lu Dongli who came to take over, so he had no reason to stay and be bored. As soon as the handover is completed, the handover is completed. Let's go.
With his seven or eight concubines, a dozen girls, dozens of subordinates, and hundreds of cars, I don't know what kind of big carts they loaded, plus the hundreds of soldiers sent out by Lu Dongli to escort him, he left Dingyuan Pass under Lu Donglian's polite send-off.
He Fan Yao left. The entire Dingyuan Pass, up to Lu Dongli, down to the lowest-level soldiers, all felt relieved.
Lu Dongli easily raised his account.
On the first day of his new office, of course, he was not busy with military parades to show his prestige, but tried his best to familiarize himself with and memorize the generals. Then the order was given, and the status of the general of the Wind Festival was restored. After that, he only made a brief inauguration declaration, and gave a few words of instruction, ordering the generals to work hard for the country, train the soldiers, and strictly guard against the enemy army, and let everyone disperse.
After that, of course, the Wind Festival was left alone.
That is, without outsiders, his superficial respect will naturally be put away. Lazily raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Although I knew that you had this idea early in the morning, I really didn't expect you to come so quickly." It can be seen that the monarchs and ministers in the court. It's really no longer a responsibility. ”
Lu Dongli shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Feng Jinjie stared at him and said softly: "You shouldn't come, this errand is fat for others, but for you, it is drudgery, you don't know how to use power." Profit for yourself, but you have to face the killing that is coming. It's too thankless. ”
Lu Dongli smiled faintly: "If I didn't know that there might be a war at any time, I wouldn't necessarily have to come." ”
"What about Mrs. Sister-in-law? You can't bring your family in the army, and you won't ask for a bunch of concubines like Fan Yao, this position will sit up, unless the war stops and others want to seek a commanding position, otherwise you have to stay here for a few years, you call your sister-in-law and Mrs. Just like that, guarding the door every day, waiting for you to go back? ”
Lu Dongxuan's expression darkened, he was worthy of his back in this life, and he was still sorry for his dearest wife in the end. That graceful and graceful woman, how many years to spend with him, relieve his loneliness, take care of him, love him, but he can't give anything in return.
Su Wanzhen is also a big official when she marries well, however, she can only accompany him to the name of a corrupt official, and in the cold years, she has never had half a word of complaint, and she has never stopped him from doing anything, except for ...... This time...... After hearing about his plan, Su Wanzhen was silent for a long time, then lowered her head and said softly: "I have it, it's been two months." ”
From beginning to end, she only said this one sentence, and then silently packed up for him.
At that time, what kind of desolation and pain was in his state of mind, Lu Dongli couldn't and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
In this life, he is worthy of being a husband and a father after all.
Seeing Lu Donglian's expression, Feng Jinjie couldn't help but shake his head: "I expected that to be a loyal and filial son, a chivalrous and righteous man, I always have to be sorry for the people around me, in those years, I always like to send something to my sister-in-law, but in fact, I just want to compensate for you in advance." Women have always valued their appearance, so most of the ones I send are related to dressing. ”
He didn't know if what he said was true or not, or if it was a joke, but it made Lu Dongli a little crying and laughing: "You are embarrassed to say more about this kind of thing, so you don't avoid suspicion, if you change the people of the other places, I am afraid you will have many other ideas." ”
"Why don't you avoid suspicion, did I send something directly to my sister-in-law? I'm all for you. Feng Jinjie smiled: "Who are you willing to transfer those to, that's your business, you just want to give it to Sister Hong of Cuixian Building, and I won't object to it." ”
When it comes to bickering, where is Lu Dongli the opponent of Feng Jinjie, he was so angry that he opened his mouth, stretched out his finger and pointed at Feng Jinjie, thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of anything to scold him, so he had to walk away.
Feng Jinjie laughed and chased after him, and followed Lu Dongli all the way to the city tower.
Lu Dongli climbed to the highest part of the city gate, looked into the distance, the vast desert, looked back at the mountains and rivers in the Guannei, and slowly revealed deep feelings in his eyes.
Feng Jinjie stood under the city, looking at Lu Dongli's independent city from afar, and hesitated for a moment before slowly climbing the city tower and standing beside him, and then, I heard Lu Dongli say softly: "Jinjie, join me to protect this great river and mountain, okay?" ”
Feng Jinjie was silent for a long, long time, and then said in the same very light voice: "Good! ”
In this way, Lu Dongli officially took over Dingyuanguan.
He ordered the generals to reorganize the roster, completely squeeze out the water in the number of soldiers, and rewrite the books for the soldiers, so that the strong and brave, the old, the sick, and the infirm should be registered separately and recorded separately.
Like the bow and arrow battalion, the tiger and leopard battalion, the long knife team, the cavalry battalion, and the shield line, they must also be entered one by one, neatly and uniformly, so that the generals can be familiar with the management.
He also ordered the munitions depot to be reorganized, and all unqualified swords and iron armor, and sick and weak war horses, must be re-registered, and any necessary munitions that need to be purchased must be sorted out one by one.
Any wartime needs to defend the city and attack equipment, and the generals must also sort out it.
All this should be prepared as much as possible before the war, so as not to suffer a big loss during the war.
Because of his management, the barracks have been lazy and chaotic for many years
?? Improve.
He also ordered the soldiers of the whole army to practice every day, and he also came out to practice together every day. Riding horses and archery, all of them reluctantly followed, under the bright sun, standing for most of the day, the heat was so hot that he fled from his back, almost dizzy, and refused to rest.
The soldiers of the three armies, who had never seen them before, were willing to accompany them to practice with the commander, who was shocked but also quite moved, and the generals advised him to rest, but he only shook his head and smiled.
That is, the commander-in-chief, he should share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and he will not be afraid of death, and the soldiers will not spare their lives. What is the reason for all the soldiers to practice every day, but he stays in the marshal's mansion all day to enjoy the happiness, and what qualifications does such a marshal have to order the soldiers to march into battle when the country is in danger?
Besides, if he does not train himself diligently, once a battle breaks out, he, a powerless marshal, will only become a burden to the three armies, and I am afraid that he will not even have the ability to go to the battlefield in person.
At his insistence, the daily drill continued. At first, he was not accustomed to the military life, and after a day of riding a horse, his legs would be bruised and bleeding, and his bones would be torn apart. But he didn't say a word and refused to show the slightest clue in front of people.
Only the wind is sharp-eyed, and he knows that he is stubborn, and when the drill is over, he goes back to the Shuaifu with him, and there is no idler next to him, so he can't help but say, he pressed down, tore his pants, checked the injury, and then frowned with a dark face.
Lu Dongli was so angry and impatient about his presumptuousness that his face turned red, and he didn't know what to scold in anger.
But the Wind Festival turned a deaf ear. He never paid attention to it, and didn't persuade him at all, just gave him good medicine with a calm face, wrapped his injuries tightly, and let Lu Dongli continue to ride the horse the next day until the drill was over, and then went to see him injured.
Although both of them deliberately concealed this, there is no impermeable wall in the world. The generals in the army who are not well-run people can find out whether a person is injured just by looking at the posture of a person riding a horse. In addition, Wang Dabao, who was assigned to be the captain of Lu Dongli's personal army, found out the truth and deliberately publicized it in the army, and in a blink of an eye, the whole army knew about it.
The man who became the generalissimo was still so hardworking. Under the admiration of the soldiers, they naturally will not have the idea of fear of hardship and hardship.
At the beginning, Lu Dongli's arrows were also very poor, and the level of the coach was so good that other generals and soldiers did not dare to shoot too well. He was not at all resentful, nor ashamed, he had always been specialized in the art industry, and he was worthy of it, but he sincerely praised all the soldiers, and expressed his admiration for their good archery and fighting skills in an exclamatory tone.
Zhao has always emphasized literature over martial arts. The fact that a senior official who was born on the right path in the imperial examination can give such a high evaluation to a soldier makes the officers and men in the army even more grateful.
Lu Dongli also practiced swordsmanship in the Shuaifu every day. Or practice with grass men and wooden figures, or let Wang Dabao and other personal soldiers accompany him to practice.
Feng Jinjie saw that he was making slow progress. In addition to laughing, he also explained to him that he was already old, his bones were hard, and it was impossible to really achieve anything in martial arts.
Lu Dongli just smiled and continued to practice. He didn't want to be a martial arts master, he just hoped that he wouldn't become a burden to others. If in this regard, he is too stupid. If you are too talented, then use someone else's time to practice twice, five, or even ten times.
Feng Jinjie gritted his teeth, watching him practice clumsily, seeing that his body was numb and his teeth were sore, he couldn't bear it anymore, and passed on a set of internal skills to Lu Dongliang.
This set of internal exercises does not require too complicated exercises, just breathing with a special method of breathing. Even when practicing sleeping, you can practice, Feng Jinjie said, this internal force, the purer the mind, the better the effect of practice, he has a friend. Because he is a super big fool, with this internal force, he has become the number one master in the world, and Lu Dongli is too thoughtful, and he will definitely not be able to practice a top master, but compared to ordinary soldiers and generals, it should not be too bad.
After Lu Dongli practiced, he gradually became lighter, his strength increased, his eyesight became more accurate, and his movements were much smoother and faster. In addition, he practices martial arts every day, and Feng Jinjie occasionally pulls out some of his skills. His growth is indeed not small, and it is not easy to lose when he fights with two or three big men alone.
But Lu Dongli grasped every minute and every moment and studied hard, far more than that.
Lu Dongli raised his account every day to discuss military affairs, practiced with the team, and lived with him at night, asking him to teach himself military strategy.
Lu Dongli himself has made up all the military books he can find for this position, but he also knows that fighting a war is by no means something that can be learned by reading books, and he needs Feng Jinjie to teach him all the knowledge in the army, and how to flexibly use the knowledge in the books.
Feng Jinjie began to be too lazy to accept apprentices, laughing at him for being too careful, the former army marshals have always been high, where will they learn from their subordinates.
Lu Dongli just smiled and didn't answer, he didn't imagine that Fan Yao was overturned by the generals under him, on the surface he was a marshal, but in fact he didn't understand the operation of the army at all, and his generals took an army out to fight in the middle of the night, and as a marshal, he didn't know it at all.
In the end, he had to use the marshal's privilege and obscenity, forcing Feng Jinjie to give in and be his teacher.
The two walked together day and night, read military books together at night, played the sand table together, and the floor lamp in the handsome room was always extinguished very late, and many times, it was bright all night. I was so tired that sometimes they fell asleep at their desks with their books, and sometimes they barely remembered to go to bed, and struggled to get to bed, and they didn't take off their clothes, so they slept crookedly.
During the day, the two horses were parallel, and the Fengjin Festival used the army training in front of him as a living teaching material, and constantly explained to Lu Dongliang.
Sometimes, he also climbed high and looked far away, pointed out the terrain of mountains and rivers, said where troops could be stationed, where to set up ambushes, and predicted various ways of attack that the enemy might launch, as well as various countermeasures.
During these days, the two were inseparable and inseparable.
Of course, after doing such hard work, Feng Jinjie will also want to strive for a little reward for treatment, such as secretly asking for the privilege of drinking in the middle of the night when there are no outsiders.
Lu Dongli nodded briskly: "Drink, okay." ”
Then he looked up at Feng Jinjie's happy expression, and said slowly: "I'm worried that I haven't been in office for a long time, and I can't find a chance to stand up for power, don't you mind trying my military art." ”
The author of the nonsense dividing line
It could have been posted last night, but because last night, on the spur of the moment, I responded with more than 6,000 words, discussing the issue of arguing about loyal ministers and righteous people, and I was really tired, and I couldn't continue to finish this chapter, so I had to put it off until today.
