In the darkness of the night, no one in the hall knew about the agreement of the monarch and the ministers except the parties concerned.

It stands to reason that Guan Cheng's most important person should be Wu Chengju, and the first person in the Jin army should also be Wu Chengju, after all, he is an old man who has been with him since he was a child, and loyalty is not to be said.

When loyalty and competence are in opposition, loyalty comes first, and those in power think so.

But Guan Cheng did not say these words to Wu Chengju.

Another example is Wang Ye, this is one of the few people under Guan Cheng who can stand alone, and he has been born and died since the first battle, and there are several terrifying wounds on his body.

Of course, Wang Ye was still in Chu at this time.

But Guan Cheng chose Zhang Di.

Whether it is a troubled or prosperous era, talent always comes first, and all ideas and decrees of some people will have the possibility of implementation.

Guan Cheng has just jumped out of Gyeonggi County, and even the road to the Jin Kingdom is still thousands of miles away, and any accidents in this unknown future need to be solved by people.

So he urgently needs to expand his strength, he needs a lot of people, many, many people.

Zhang Di's influence in Liang Guo's recklessness is not small, and his conduct is passable, Guan Cheng feels that this is simply a godsend.

And Zhang Di did not live up to Guan Cheng's expectations, and when the team walked out of Hedu County, Guan Cheng's original team of more than 1,000 people had expanded to more than 500 people.

Many heroes are naturally difficult to control, but wearing this suit and armor is equivalent to wearing military law, as long as everyone does not defect en masse, it can be stabilized.

Every night before setting up camp for dinner, Guan Cheng will always brainwash everyone, no, it is propaganda, publicizing the glory of Datong, looking forward to a better future, imagining the life of the glorious ancestors, and washing the lintel.

Naturally, the meritorious personnel should be commended.

The soldiers who died in the battle with the mountain bandits led everyone to pay their respects, cremated the bodies without taking them, and put away the ashes and tablets.

Nowadays, Guan Cheng's fleet has a special person and a special car to take care of this.

The honor of joining the army to protect the family and defend the country, the big cake of the world looking for the marquis makes a group of chic and accustomed heroes very appetizing, in the words of Lu Niu, our fathers can live a simple and easy life every day, our Lao Tzu is a person who does great things, not to mention entering the ancestral hall after death, the family tree has to be opened separately, and it is all to seal the wife and the son.

If this chase regains its glory in the hands of our masters, even if it is not only the family tree, the incense must be yours.

No?

If not, ask the emperor if he agrees, ask His Royal Highness the King of Jin if he agrees, if it doesn't work, let the emperor talk to the ancestor.

Do you know what a meritorious officer is?

Eh, we will be alive or dead in the future!

Men always have pretentious feelings, and they have to dream about it when they don't have the opportunity, not to mention wearing clothes and armor and having an official body.

This is even more true of these men who drink wine and eat meat in big bowls, scolding one by one, and can't wait to see if their tablets are in the first place tomorrow.

Naturally, not everyone believes it, and occasionally a few people question it and immediately attract angry scolding.

Among them, Lu Niu naturally hates the most, often pointing at his nose and spitting, and he is ashamed of the person's scolding.

Guan Cheng was very surprised, this Lu Niu had two brushes in his hands, but he didn't expect that his mouth was sharp, but he was a genius.

The camp of the entire Jin army is divided into two parts, Guan Cheng's men and horses are inside, and Ping Rui's men and horses are outside.

For example, logging and camping, such as pathfinders.

Along the way, there was not no opposition among the Liang army, but when I thought that the Jin army was the main force in the war, this voice was much quieter, except for a few who wanted to make meritorious contributions and climb up, they would mumble a few words and couldn't control the overall situation at all.

In Ping Rui's big tent, there was a pot of wine and a few dishes on the desk, and on both sides were several company commanders under Ping Rui.

Xia Zhi frowned slightly, looking at Ping Rui, who was drinking on the main seat, and did not hide the worry in his heart at all.

After drinking it all, Ping Rui let out a long sigh of satisfaction.

"It's really a good wine, I didn't expect there to be such a mellow wine in this wilderness."

"Everyone, drink this cup to the full, ah, to the full."

"My lord, are we really not fighting over there?"

Ping Rui put down the chopsticks in his hand, and the meat strips in his mouth bloomed with satisfying pleasure on his tongue.

Half-squinted eyes and asked nonchalantly, "What does Lian Commander Xia mean?" ”

Xia Zhi was silent for a moment and said stubbornly: "In the past few days, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has already subdued hundreds of people, and the number of the Jin army has exceeded two thousand. ”

"Hehe, what's wrong?"

"Don't say he has 2,000 men, even if he has 20,000 men? This is Liang Guo, what kind of waves can he make with the little people he carries? All food supplies are purchased along the way, in the event of an accident, my beam only needs to clear the wilderness, he still has so many burdens, where can he run? ”

"My lord, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable!"

Ping Rui interrupted Xia Zhi's words with a wave of his hand, raised his head and asked nonchalantly: "Why do you think His Royal Highness the Prince of the World did not let the forbidden army follow this King of Jin, but let us, the city defense army, follow?" ”

Xia Zhi suddenly looked confused, yes, why?

It is no exaggeration to say that if the two armies face each other, it is estimated that 10,000 forbidden troops can beat 10,000 city defense troops and not recognize their parents.

Ping Rui threw down the silk silk that had wiped his hands and continued: "There are more than 20,000 guards in Hedu, and 6,000 people in the city defense army, and the forbidden army is more well-equipped and drills are more frequent. ”

"First of all, the main task this time is to escort His Royal Highness the King of Jin out of Liang Kingdom safely, the current emperor has only two sons, this King of Jin has always been the crown prince before, and his identity is extraordinary, although the room has declined, but the righteousness is still in his hands, and we Liang Guo can't do it without scruples."

"Don't talk about the Jin country, the Jin country is stupid up and down, and the disaster is not far away."

"Second, my princess of Daliang is the aunt of His Royal Highness, and after the prince succeeds to the throne, she will be the mother of the country of Daliang, everyone, if we do a beautiful job on this errand, how can the princess not remember this general? If you remember General Ben's pillow wind blowing like this, do you still need to worry about General Ben's future? General Ben can go up, so everyone here is the life and death brother of General Ben, why can't you go up too? ”

"Besides, the princess's own sister, that is the queen mother of the Chu State, how old is the King of Chu now, who has the final say in the Chu State?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince is the closest person outside, but these two aunts, do you understand?"

Ping Rui's voice was like magic, and it made most people's eyes light up step by step.

"Another point, Lian Chang Xia's worries think that Lao Tzu is not clear?"

"But you also use your brains to think about it, those are all mountain bandits, where are the people, where are you going to settle them? How many mountains and how many bandits have to pass through this road of more than 600 miles, is this kind of thing our business? ”

"The King of Jin wants people, the prince wants to befriend the King of Jin, there is a way is the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, the bandits and bandits on the six-hundred-mile mountain road are the great gifts given to the King of Jin by His Royal Highness the Prince, if the bandits are light, it will also be of great benefit to our Daliang."

Everyone also suddenly realized at this time and sighed one after another.

Xia Zhi also looked admired, and the original contempt in his heart disappeared at this moment, he picked up the wine glass and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is very far-sighted, but the Lord can understand what the Prince of the World thinks, and the resourcefulness is also the ability of ghosts and gods, and it will definitely be the pillar of my Liang Junjie in the future. ”

Ping Rui laughed and picked up the wine glass and said loudly: "Drink together, drink this cup together." ”

The guests and hosts were happy, but no one paid attention to the outside of the tent, and the soldiers on duty glanced into the tent from time to time, their throats squirmed, obviously a little greedy, and no one paid attention to the figures in the distance.

After a while, Guan Cheng couldn't help but sigh: "The children of the family can't be underestimated, even people like Ping Rui have some knowledge." ”

Zhang Di also sighed: "What His Royal Highness said is that the children of the family have been taught by their masters since they were young, and they have been admonished by the clan. ”

"This is the difference between heaven and earth."

"But since this Ping Gongzi is so knowledgeable, then his thousand men can't just do chores."

"What does Your Highness mean?"

In the early morning of the next day, the army pulled out of the camp to the west, the mighty thousands of men and horses and their huge convoys stretched for several miles, and the people who occasionally appeared on both sides of the official road avoided one after another, looking at the Jin character banner waving in the wind at the front, and couldn't help whispering.

Ping Rui doesn't really like this feeling now.

On the chariot at the front, Ping Rui was dressed in a military uniform, with delicate leather armor, the sword at his waist was also inlaid with gems, and the helmet cherry blossoms on his head pointed directly at the sky, coupled with his delicate face, it also made several women look sideways.

The army behind him walked around, and Ping Rui looked back, completely missing the pleasure of thousands of troops and horses in my hands, but a little more boredom.

"Go, call Company Commander Xia."

Soon Xia Zhi ran over with two guards, the dust on his face mixed with sweat outlining a few irregular mud marks.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

"Come up and talk."

The speed of the march was not fast at this time, after all, it was followed by a large number of baggage, and the beautiful woman who was regarded by everyone as the future princess of Jin.

"How far is it from Monsan?"

Xia Zhi thought for a while and replied, "About thirty miles." ”

"Isn't that half a day?"

Xia Zhi nodded and asked: "The village on Mengshan is not easy to fight, five years ago, the left army had 5,000 people to encircle and suppress, not only failed to make contributions, but lost hundreds of people, so far this Mengshan can be regarded as a foothold." ”

Ping Rui's face was very ugly, and the more he listened to it, the more ugly it became, and he couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "Who is the big boss on Mengshan and how many people are there?" ”

Xia Zhi didn't care, these questions were necessary in the past.

"The big boss of the village seems to be called Ma Bu now, this guy has a few strokes in his hands, Mengshan is developed in the hands of this guy, the battle five years ago was commanded by this guy, and now there are almost 2,000 people on Mengshan."

Ping Rui's face turned black into briquettes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Two thousand!" King Jin of the dog day, this is to wear small shoes for our masters. ”

The joy on Xia Zhi's face flashed, and then turned into surprise, and he hurriedly asked, "My lord, isn't this King of Jin letting our thousand people take the lead?" ”
