Chapter 135: The Next Task

Today's Zhou Mansion is particularly lively, not only Chen Jin and Chen Ruolan personally came to the mansion, but even Ma Zhong, the general of Zhengxi, and Xu Changping, the general of Dingbei, came to visit.

Where have Feng Yue and He Shuiling seen this kind of formation? On weekdays, Chen Jin comes once in a while. Today, not only Her Royal Highness the princess came with him, but even the main general of the army arrived, and the two of them couldn't help but have some stage fright.

However, Li Yunhan was very calm, she didn't think that the generals in the barracks had anything outstanding after killing Prince Lian's subordinates, she comforted Feng Yue and the others: "Don't disturb the two sisters, wait for me to go and find out the situation!" Originally, before marrying Zhou Yu, Li Yunhan was worried that he couldn't stand the anger of "being small", but after passing the door, he realized that Feng Yue and He Shuiling had no quarrel at all, and completely regarded her as her own sister, and Li Yunhan quickly integrated into this big family.

"Yun Han, Xiao Yu is talking to the two highnesses and generals about business, will it be a little abrupt for you to go so rashly?" Feng Yue grabbed Li Yunhan and asked.

Li Yunhan stopped, carefully considered Feng Yue's words, and felt that there was a certain amount of truth, so he said, "Then just wait for them to finish talking, let's just ask Xiao Yu directly, he will definitely tell us."

Li Yunhan's opinion was unanimously approved by several girls.

"The last general doesn't know that His Royal Highness King Yu and His Royal Highness the Princess are also there, it's rude!" Ma Zhong and Xu Changping saluted Chen Jin and Chen Ruolan.

"Eh, the two generals are polite! Zhou Yu and I are old friends, and I came with Ruolan today just to visit the door as friends, but it was a coincidence that the two generals came!" Chen Jin said jokingly.

"Yes, yesterday Zhou Yushi killed Wang Cheng's old horseman's spirit on the top of the main hall, it's really happy!" Ma Zhong said proudly.

"General Ma, why do you talk like that? After all, Wang Cheng is the prime minister of a country, so why does the general disrespect him?" Chen Ruolan gestured.

"This is the Zhou Yushi Mansion, not his Prime Minister's Mansion, what are you afraid of?" Ma Zhong was born in the army, and his speech has always been rough: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you don't know, this Wang Cheng is not a good thing, he controls the government and politics, is autocratic, the three divisions are tired, and the six departments are in chaos, if he hadn't had no one in the army, I'm afraid this Dawen would have changed the sky a long time ago!"

"How serious is it?" Chen Ruolan said in surprise.

"Your Highness, don't blame the general for speaking straight, we and the others are all rough men, and we don't know the courtier's style of words. We only know that Wang Cheng is not right, and the two highnesses should stay away from him! Especially His Royal Highness King Yu, you are the first candidate for the crown prince, you must keep yourself clean, so as not to be suspicious of Your Majesty!" Xu Changping has brought the topic to a more sensitive area - the battle for succession!

"Prince? This king stays in the fief all the year round, is he a candidate for the crown prince? The two generals must not torture me!" Chen Jin laughed at himself.

"Xiao Jin is right, two generals, this matter can't be discussed casually!" Chen Ruolan reminded again.

"Others can't say it, my old horse said it's a big deal, just let Your Majesty cut off the head of my old horse!" Ma Zhong had no scruples when he spoke.

"Thank you for the love of the two generals, even if I talk about this, how can I compare with King Xiang and King Jin? They have never left Beijing, and I am just temporarily living in the capital, incomparable, incomparable......" Chen Jin shook his head and said.

Ma Zhong was about to open his mouth to explain, but Xu Changping touched his elbow and motioned for him not to speak yet, and then Xu Changping said, "What does Zhou Yushi think about this matter?"

Zhou Yu has rarely spoken since the beginning of the discussion, and Xu Changping is worried that he wants to protect himself, so he wants to use this topic to pull him into the water. Zhou Yu also understood his intentions, anyway, his thoughts were the same as those of these people, and it didn't hurt to talk about it.

"What do you think? Sit on the bench and watch! King Yu's return to Beijing this time was ostensibly to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother, but after a long time since the birthday, His Majesty did not have the will to let King Yu return to Luozhou, which shows that His Majesty wants His Royal Highness King Yu to stay in the capital. On the other hand, the other two, namely King Xiang and King Jin. Let's talk about King Xiang first, this person is very close to Wang Cheng, and Wang Xiang's granddaughter is a childhood sweetheart, and just now the two generals also said that Wang Cheng is suspicious, how can Your Majesty tolerate him? In that case, how could King Xiang be a candidate for his son-in-law?" Zhou Yu's eyes seemed to have penetrated everything, and the two generals agreed with his statement and nodded frequently.

"Next, let's talk about the king of Jin, the king of Jin, and the horseman, it is difficult to become a big tool! And as far as I know, the King of Jin was more influenced by Prince Lian, can Prince Lian and the two generals understand?" Zhou Yu looked at Ma Zhong and Xu Changping and asked.

"This ......" Ma Zhong and Xu Changping glanced at each other, wanting to say something, but they couldn't quite say it.

"Well, since the two generals are not easy to say, then let me say it. Prince Lian can be said to be a heinous crime! This person not only has secret interests with the merchants of the Qianguo State, but also colludes with the important ministers of the Wei State, and such a traitorous and cunning person should be punished with heavy laws to set an example!" Although Zhou Yu's volume was not high, his tone was very resolute.

The two generals immediately glanced at Chen Jin and Chen Ruolan's reactions, and found that these two people didn't seem to be surprised by this, so Ma Zhongcai asked, "Zhou Yushi, how did you know about these situations?"

"It seems that General Ma really knows, but it's just not easy to say it clearly!" Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Ma Zhong sighed helplessly, unlike Wang Cheng, Prince Lian was a member of the royal family and had a high status, and they always had some concerns in their conversations.

"General Ma, General Xu, didn't the two of you just add a batch of new weapons and armor to your barracks last year?" Zhou Yu asked.

"yes, what's going on?" Ma Zhong and Xu Changping asked suspiciously.

"The iron ore used to build this weapon was mined by Wu'an County, and it was Zhou Yu who learned that there was hidden iron ore in Wu'an County!" Chen Jin replied on his behalf.

"Is this serious?" Ma Zhong and Xu Changping both stood up.

"It's true!" Chen Jin beckoned and said, "Two generals, please take a seat!" It was also at that time that we learned that Prince Lian had a secret relationship with the merchants of Qianguo."

"Oh, Brother Zhou, this has done us a great favor! After the issuance of this batch of new weapons, the combat effectiveness of the army has increased a lot! In the past, when we fought against the dry *** team, we usually only had a 50% chance of winning, but now with the new equipment, I think we can have a 70% chance of winning!" Ma Zhong said happily.

"General Ma, don't be too happy too early!" Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"What does that mean?" Ma Zhong put away his smile and asked.

"Our Dawen's army has been replaced with new equipment, can't the army of the Qianguo be replaced?" Zhou Yu asked rhetorically.

"This ...... That's what he said......" Ma Zhong found that he was thinking in a stereotyped way and did not take into account the situation of his opponent. It is also possible that the army of Qianguo was replenished with new weapons and armor during this period, and due to the limited nature of the armament, it was impossible for every soldier in the army to wear armor.

"General Ma doesn't have to worry, Zhou Yu has already provided a new smelting method to the Ministry of Industry, and in the future, my Dawen's blade will be sharper and his armor will be sharper!" Chen Jin encouraged.

"I can't imagine that Zhou Yushi and Wenchen are still proficient in the method of smelting, it's really rare!" Xu Changping touched his beard and exclaimed.

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm not enough to carve insects!" Zhou Yu arched his hand and said, "Two generals, the way to win, weapons and armor are important, but the method of battle is still the key!"

"Oh? What is Brother Zhou's opinion?" Originally, generals Ma Zhong and Xu Changping looked down on this group of civil officials in the DPRK and the central government, thinking that they were strong on the outside and capable in the middle, and they were not of great use. But Zhou Yu is different from that group of people, one is that he is on the side of Emperor Wen, and the other is that he does have some ability, so the two generals are willing to listen to Zhou Yu's opinion.

"I have here three tips, which record a very novel training mode and combat method, the two generals can draw fifty people from their own military camp to try, for a period of three months, to see which part of these hundred people can do!" Zhou Yu handed over three small bags and said.

"This training matter is related to the army in general, if it is changed at will, I am afraid it will be ......," Xu Changping said with some concern.

"I wonder if you can show us what this plan is?" Ma Zhong asked.

"Of course, the two generals, please!" Zhou Yu replied.

The two generals opened the bag one by one and carefully read the contents of the paper in the bag.

"Brother Zhou, why do you want the sergeant to run with a weight every day?" Ma Zhong asked.

"Also, why do soldiers lift weights every day?" Xu Chang

Ping asked.

"Everything the two generals want to know is in this second bag!" Zhou Yu prompted.

The two generals followed his instructions to open the second one......

After reading all the contents of the three tips, Ma Zhong said again: "Since Brother Zhou is familiar with military affairs, he should also know that it is the spring plowing season, and there is no war, and the big guys are all farming in the fields.

"In this way, all the costs of the training plan mentioned in the bag will be provided by my government, and it will be regarded as an experiment, and if it can be achieved, it will also be a great blessing for my Dawen army!" Zhou Yu proposed.

Ma Zhong and Xu Changping glanced at each other, carefully thought about the training plan written by Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu's explanation was very detailed and had financial guarantees, so the two thought that they could give it a try, so they said, "Okay, then give it a try!"

"Since the two generals have agreed, then I have to tell a few more words, this plan is a top secret in the army, except for the close friends of the two generals, don't spread it for the time being, and don't even tell other generals. When the training is really effective, it's not too late to promote it in other military camps in my Dawen!" Zhou Yu said to Ma Zhong and Xu Changping.

"Okay, that's it!" Ma Zhong and Xu Changping agreed.

A consensus was reached on the matter, but the conversation continued.

"I wonder what Brother Zhou plans to do next?" Ma Zhong asked, and invisibly, the distance between them and Zhou Yu was shortened a lot.

"Your Majesty has promoted me from a cloth cloth to a six-rank Beijing official, so naturally it will not be without intentions. Wang Cheng's strength in the court is getting bigger and bigger, and his foundation is particularly stubborn, so he should take it as his responsibility to eradicate female cadres and truly share his worries for the king!" Zhou Yu said.

"Good! Brother Zhou is really loyal and brave!" Xu Changping couldn't help but applaud
