Chapter 34: Accompanying the Army
Sun Tzu said: In the method of using soldiers, the whole country is the first, the country is second, the whole army is the first, the army is second, the whole brigade is the first, the brigade is second, the whole army is the second, the whole army is the second, the army is the second. Therefore, a hundred battles are won, and those who are not good are also good, and the soldiers who surrender without a fight are also ...... those who are good are also good" Ning Ze held Sun Tzu's art of war bamboo slips written by himself silently, and walked around the study.
Wang Wei looked depressed and sat on the side and read aloud.
"Be serious!" Seeing that he was a little distracted, Ning Ze walked over and patted the table.
"That's why a hundred battles are won...... Wang Wei hurriedly sat up straight and recited aloud.
The task assigned by Liang Chun has already been completed, and it is much exceeded.
There was nothing to do in the next few days, and the new workshops and workers on the arsenal side were all in charge of the arsenal Cheng Mao Xi, so Ning Ze taught Wang Wei Sun Tzu the art of war in his free time.
Wang Wei's force is as high as 90 points, but his command is pitifully low. Don't worry about going head-to-head, leading troops to fight still needs to be improved.
Learning Sun Tzu's Art of War, even if you memorize it and rigidly apply a few pieces of knowledge in it, it can also play a big role.
And at the same time as teaching him, Ning Ze's own command experience points are also growing every day, and the speed is fast.
After these days of hard teaching, it has been successfully improved from 78 points to 84, which is already very good!
"Big brother!" was teaching, Liang Wu's voice suddenly sounded outside, and a rush of footsteps came this way.
Wang Wei hurriedly got up, pulled down the ghost face to cover his face, and stood motionless behind Ning Ze.
Ning Ze put down Sun Tzu's Art of War and turned his head to look out the door.
Liang Wu quickly pushed the door in, his gaze swept over Wang Wei, and then turned to Ning Ze's face: "Big brother, the eldest prince is here!"
"Oh, it's so late, why did the eldest prince suddenly come to the door?"
"I don't know, there should be something important!" Liang Wu replied.
"What about people?"
"Wait in the living room!"
"Okay, I'll go right over. ”
Under the leadership of Liang Wu, Ning Ze came to the living room, and sure enough, he saw Liang Kai waiting inside.
Seeing him appear, Liang Kai stood up and gave a salute: "Arsenal Order!"
"The eldest prince came to visit late at night, I don't know what is important?" Ning Ze immediately returned the salute.
"The little one retreats first!" Liang Wu quickly left the living room and closed the door by the way.
When there were only two people left, Liang Kai opened his mouth and said: "Arsenal Order, tomorrow my grandfather will lead the troops to go to Tong County to suppress thieves." Li Tong, the Taishou of Tongjun, Sun Lang of Danjun, and Zhao Ping, the Taishou of Wuduo County, will also send troops to surround Jiangjunling. ”
"I know!" Ning Ze smiled and nodded, "I heard that Ling Zun and several sons are also going to join the army, pay attention to safety." ”
"This time, the four counties will unite to suppress the thieves, and there is no doubt that they will win!" Liang Kai said.
The four counties were too guarded to lead the troops to encircle and suppress, and there was no problem in winning the war. But as soon as you leave, the county town of Huajun will be in chaos. Of course, it can't be stopped anyway. Ning Ze secretly said in his heart, what I can do is to take advantage of the war to escalate force and command to ensure maximum benefits.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Liang Kai took a step closer: "By the way, my father asked me to inform the arsenal order and prepare early tonight!"
"What?" Ning Ze asked when he heard this.
"So, my father proposed to my grandfather that he should go with the army. Liang Kai said, "Of course, don't worry too much." You'll be placed under your father, with us brothers, and you'll be safe. ”
"......" Ning Ze was stunned, why did Liang Teng suddenly propose to let him go with the army?
After pondering for a moment, he shook his head.
I'm afraid it's not Liang Teng's meaning, but Liang Chun doesn't worry about himself.
Before summoning the displaced people, Liang Chun suspected that he had different intentions. This guy is prejudiced against himself, probably a little bit of a bull's horn, and sure enough, his personality is very problematic!
Liang Teng asked his eldest son Liang Kai to pass the word, saying that it was his meaning, and he probably took this into account, not wanting to let himself know that it was Liang Chun's meaning, so as not to be dissatisfied.
Seeing that Ning Ze bowed his head and was silent, Liang Kai thought he was worried, so he said to him: "Don't worry, he said that he went out with the army, but in fact, he was mainly engaged in civil affairs with us, and he didn't need to go into battle in person." In short, you prepare and set off with the army tomorrow. ”
"Okay, I'll send the eldest son!"
"No, you're busy. Liang Kai said goodbye and turned to leave.
After he left for a while, Liang Wu came in from outside and quickly walked in front of Ning Ze: "Big brother, what did the eldest prince say?"
"Let me pack up, and tomorrow I will go out with the army and go to Tong County to suppress thieves!" Ning Ze shrugged.
"Huh?" Liang Wu was startled, "How can this be! Can you excuse yourself? Or the eldest brother will pretend to be sick!"
Ning Ze shook his head, chuckled and said, "This is what Taishou meant, he doesn't worry about me." It's useless to pretend to be sick......"
"But big brother, you've been preparing for a long time, isn't it a waste now?" Liang Wu asked worriedly, "Or are we going to bring our family with us, regardless of Huajun's side?"
Seeing that he was more anxious than himself, Ning Ze reached out and patted his head: "It's okay! ”
"How can it not matter, big brother, you have been carefully arranging for so long, once we go out with the army......"
"Xiao Wu, I went out with the army, and you stayed in Huajun!" Ning Ze said, "It's okay to act according to the plan if it's arranged." ”
"But if you're not there, big brother......"
"There's a ghost-faced general!"
"He is your bodyguard, and he will keep you safe......"
"This time I went out with the army, there was not much danger for me. Ning Ze said with a smile, "General Ghostface knows the whole plan well, and how to protect our troops and property is also clear. Besides, there are you! You two will replace me, and the rich merchants and gentry in the city will also cooperate. Anyway, everything will remain the same, wait until I come back!"
"In case Huajun changes hands...... Liang Wu is worried.
"As I said, this has nothing to do with us! As long as we ensure the safety of troops and property, it is enough to transfer to the destination according to the plan!" Ning Ze lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "The most important thing is to definitely not forget the key mission ......"
Liang Wu nodded vigorously and swore an oath: "Big brother rest assured! Xiao Wu will definitely complete the task." ”
"Well, you cooperate well with General Ghostface, and wait for me to come back when the matter is done!"
"Good!"
"Tell my subordinates to pack my bags. ”
"Yes!"
On the second day, the Liang Mansion really sent someone to the door and asked Ning Ze to set off together.
Liang Chun took his son Liang Teng, four grandsons Liang Kai, Liang Jing, Liang Yun, Liang Shun, as well as Liang Jun, Liang Zhi, and other civil and military officials to inspect the soldiers and horses.
After Ning Ze arrived, he was called to Liang Teng's side.
"Arsenal Order, you will follow me on this expedition with the army," Liang Teng said, "Be a companion with Kai'er." Charging into battle is the business of our generals, you don't have to worry. ”
Liang Teng deliberately guided, wanting Ning Ze to think that he was asking him to go with the army. It's just that Ning Ze saw through it completely, 100% because Liang Chun was worried that he would incite the displaced people to rebel. After all, during this time, he was setting up a shed to give porridge to help the homeless, and he got a good reputation.
There's no need to poke this kind of thing in person.
On this expedition, Liang Chun only left Cao Peng and Liang Hong, and several other Liang family civil officials and military generals to defend the city, and the main force all accompanied them, and it seemed that they attached great importance to the task of suppressing thieves, after all, Cao Boyi's thief army was powerful.
Ning Ze was alone with the army and did not bring a single household servant.
After the inspection of the troops in the school field, the army immediately set off, leaving the city of Hwasan and moving to Danjun in the west.
Tong County is in the south of Dan County, and it can only be passed by turning around through Dan County, just such a road.
The Chinese officers and generals of the army all have to ride horses, which is quite painful for Ning Ze.
Even during this time, his equestrian skills were not very good, and the long-distance bumps were very uncomfortable, and he even broke his skin quickly.
A long march all day, camped in the wilderness at night, unable to sit at rest, is called a tragedy.
When he was lying in the tent, distressed by the fact that he had worn out his buttocks, and it would be more tragic if he couldn't recover from the march again tomorrow, Liang Teng came to the tent: "Arsenal Order!"
"Inspector Post!" Ning Ze hurriedly wanted to get up.
"Don't move!" Liang Teng quickly came over to stop him, and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, "I can see that you rarely ride a horse, how did you get from Chengzhou to Huajun?"
"I usually ride in a carriage. ”
"You still have to get used to riding horses," Liang Teng said, "I have good wound medicine here, and it's only for cavalry." Apply to the wound for quick recovery. ”
"Thank you!"
"But it will still hurt to ride a horse tomorrow after applying the medicine, and I will have someone bring an animal skin cushion over later. ”
"Fur mats?"
"Well, when they used to learn to ride horses, they wore out their skin as quickly as you did. After taking the medicine, and then putting on the animal skin mat, it is relatively comfortable. Come on, I'll give you the medicine!"
"No, no, I'll do it myself. Ning Ze hurriedly waved his hand, "How can you bother to supervise the post." ”
"It's fine!"
"I'll do it myself!"
"How do you medicate yourself?"
"Then I can't let the superintendent personally give me medicine, how can I afford it?" Ning Ze stretched out his hand to take the porcelain bottle, "In this way, let the guards outside the tent give me medicine!"
"It's okay!" Liang Teng beckoned, calling the guards in, "Give the arsenal order medicine." ”
"Whoa!"
"Be careful. ”
"Whoa!"
Liang Tengren is quite good, at least stronger than his father's character. If it weren't for his indecisiveness, soft ears, and easy to be swayed by others, in fact, Ning Ze didn't mind assisting him.
It's just a pity that the Liang family's father and son don't meet after all.
The guards carefully finished the medicine for Ning Ze, and Liang Teng had already asked people to fetch the animal skin mat: "Come, it will be better with this." Hope you get used to riding soon!"
"Thank you!"
"Tomorrow, I have to get up early and hurry, and strive to arrive in Danjun to join forces with Sun Taishou, and go to General Ridge together. Liang Teng said, "Have a good rest." ”
"Yes!" Although Ning Ze was grateful to Liang Teng, he didn't remind him that Huajun would be in chaos. In fact, it is the same whether you remind or not, the hearts of the people of Huajun are so low that there is no way to do it. Who made Liang Chun not listen to the advice, only self-respecting and obstinate?
Huajun is doomed to chaos, and it is too late to turn the situation around. What can be done now is how to calm down after the chaos.
