Wu Nian sensed that something was wrong and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" ”

It shouldn't be.

Guangchuan Mansion was the excess fat thrown out by the Mengyuan people themselves, so that I could compete with Xiong Wuself.

The Mengyuan people are currently disbanding the Han Wanhu, and they are training heavy armor and heavy axe soldiers and divine arm archers, so they should have no idea of invading Yingqing Mansion.

And I won the battle with Xiong Wuself, and the four county towns were in hand.

What other bad could there be?

"Report to the general. The Fuso pirate Kunihiko Torii led the pirates to attack Lijiaji in Jinghai County, burning and looting. There were many dead and wounded among the people. ”

The soldier's face was pale, and after standing still, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"What the hell is this!!!" Wu Nian was furious and patted the armrest of the Taishi chair and stood up, revealing an angry face, and said, "Everyone wants to spread wildness on my head, right?" ”

"No one dares to come and burn my Han people, right?"

But soon Wu Nian calmed down. Fuso pirates are rampant on the sea, and it is not a day or two. When he took over the Hirokawa Prefecture, he was mentally prepared to fight the pirates.

Wu Nian forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and sat back, and after muttering for a while, he raised his head and said, "Go and find Li Tianbao." ”

"Yes."

The soldier answered, turned and went down.

After a while. A team of pro-soldiers walked in with Li Tianbao, and the duty of the pro-soldiers was to focus on Li Tianbao.

"General." Li Tianbao didn't care about this, and bowed to Wu Nian very calmly.

"Hmm. Sit. Wu Nian nodded, then glanced up at the soldiers and said, "This is your own person, you don't have to be so tense, go out." ”

"Yes." The soldiers bowed and turned to go down.

"Thank you." Li Tianbao thanked him, sat down, bowed his head slightly, and was very humble.

Wu Nian looked up at him and said, "Li Zhuangshi." The First Battle of Gwangcheon Province. You've done a great job. I only gave you a box of Dongzhu as a reward, but I didn't agree, and named you a thousand households. Frankly. Are you unhappy? ”

"Don't dare." Li Tianbao hurriedly said. It's a little bit unpleasant, but it's also impossible to say it.

Wu Nian shook his head slightly, and then said, "Li Zhuangshi." IMHO. I don't know much about you. Know that you are known as the Sea Dragon King, and dare to lead your companions to fight against pirates. ”

"This proves that you are capable."

"And when I was fighting with Xiong Wuself for Wanghai Mountain. Your quick decision helped me, and you saw at a glance that looking at the sea and mountains was crucial. Prove that you have vision and a heart for me. I also treat you as your own person. ”

That's why I have to think about it. Because leading troops to fight is not child's play. How many generals have died on the battlefield since ancient times? ”

"I'll give you a box of Dongzhu, as long as your family doesn't gamble, you can be rich for at least three generations. If you go to the battlefield, if you trust someone else, then you may have to die tomorrow. ”

Li Tianbao was very moved in his heart, and his words were really heartfelt. Those who can dig out their hearts and lungs and say this to their subordinates are definitely good bosses and officials.

He took a deep breath, his attitude was resolute, and he clasped his fists and saluted: "I understand the general's intentions. But I still want to be a thousand-family. Speaking of this, Li Tianbao showed a look of hatred on his face and said, "If life is better." Who wants to lick blood from a knife? Liaodong Jiangmen is incompetent, not only can he not beat the Mengyuan people, but even the Fusang people are bullying us at sea. We fishermen often go missing at sea. I have many brothers of my kindred, who were killed by pirates. ”

"So I gathered my companions and fought the pirates. broke into the name of a sea dragon king, which is also quite prestigious. But that's not enough. After all, we are grass soldiers, it's hard, it's hard. Please support me, general. ”

After saying that, Li Tianbao stood up and wanted to kneel. Wu Nian waved his hand and stopped: "Wait." ”

Li Tianbao's movements paused, raised his head and looked at Wu Nian suspiciously.

"I was going to send someone to investigate you. Now I'm going to ask you directly. Wu Nian shook his head and said sincerely: "You know sailing, dare to fight pirates. Do you know how to train soldiers? ”

"Serious training."

"You said it yourself, you're a grass soldier. But I don't need straw soldiers. ”

"I don't understand." Li Tianbao's face was a little ugly, but he still lowered his head and said.

"Then do you know how to arrange your troops? How do you fight on the shore and how do you fight when you land? Wu Nian asked again.

"I don't know." Li Tianbao's face was ugly again, and he shook his head and said.

"Then do you know military law? Do you know how to transport grain and grass? Wu Nian asked a lot of questions in a row. None of Li Tianbao answered.

In the end, Li Tianbao's face turned red, he lowered his head in shame, and stopped talking several times.

"Hey." Wu Nian sighed.

It's a talent, but the foundation is too poor. The lieutenant under his command, even if it is Tie Niu, is also from the army. Zhang Jin is even more familiar with military books.

Tie Niu and Liu Wu are good. can get on the horse and hold the lance, charge into battle, the level should be stronger than Meng Yuan Qianfu, and when you encounter Meng Yuan Wanhu, you can only hide behind the military formation to avoid being beheaded.

Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng didn't even know how to use a lance, but they only led the troops.

But they were all born in the army, and they fought with him, and slowly experienced. Recently, I have been learning the art of war and growing up.

Li Tianbao is completely a wild man, born a talent, with a keen sense of smell, and can also fight pirates.

But with troops, it really doesn't work.

There is no need to send someone to investigate, Li Tianbao himself admitted it. In this regard, Li Tianbao is very honest.

"Then can you study by heart?" Wu Nian raised his head and asked one last question.

"Yes." Li Tianbao's eyes, who were almost desperate, lit up, raised his head without thinking, and responded loudly with his fists.

"Good. I will appoint you as a thousand households, and find twenty hundred households, general banners, and small banners that have retired from the battlefield to help you train your troops. Find someone who is capable and help you explain the art of war and the art of military. ”

"You have to be self-reliant, too. Read more history books every day and learn how famous generals in ancient times led troops. ”

"If you're doing a good job. According to your character. I can promote you to lieutenant, let you command thousands of households, and hand over my sea to you. ”

Wu Nian's face showed a look of relief, then he stood up, looked at Li Tianbao, and said solemnly.

"Thank you, General, for cultivating." Li Tianbao was very happy, but he also felt that the burden on his shoulders was abnormally heavy. Being a thousand households is much more difficult than he thought.

It's not that easy to do well.

"Good. We'll talk about that later. Now I'm going to borrow your wisdom, experience, and connections. Do you know Kunihiko Torii? I'm going to kill him. ”

Wu Nian nodded, went back to his seat and sat down, and when he raised his head, his face showed a murderous intent.
