Chapter 654: The Camp Guards
After the division of the army, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing were under the Chang Yuchun tent within a few days, and their generals were assigned to various places, and the troops were all absorbed. On the surface, it was a matter of military merit, and the two of them were temporarily relieved, but in fact, as Lu Jing had measured in his heart, he temporarily took away the military affairs of the two, and even more so, Zhu Yuanzhang put the two of them under house arrest in disguise...... While Zhu Yuanzhang was busy with the war ahead, he did not forget to "monitor" Tang Zhan and Lu Jing......
Late at night, Zhu Yuanzhang was in the tent......
"Marshal, the front has received news that General Han Zheng has led his troops to launch an attack on Liangcheng Town in the Yellow River area......" Chang Yuchun came to Zhu Yuanzhang's tent late at night and reported to him the military situation in front, "The Mengyuan defenders in the Yellow River town are not vulnerable at all, and I believe that it will not be long before good news will come ......"
After listening to this, Zhu Yuanzhang had a calm expression on his face, and seemed to have no doubt about the victory of this battle. Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from the table, paced forward for a few moments, and then asked, "It seems that there are also generals in the vanguard army who have been transferred to General Han Zheng's camp...... The previous division of the army was ordered, and it was General Chang who assigned the manpower, I don't know who it is......"
Chang Yuchun immediately reported: "Marshal Hui is the left and right cavalry generals of the vanguard army, Nangong Jun and General Murong Fei...... These two were originally close generals under the account of the last general, and after General Tang Zhan was awarded the right to be the commander of the vanguard army, he has been following General Tang Zhan around——"
"Then what is General Chang's impression of General Nangong Murong?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked casually.
Chang Yuchun 1510 said: "These two were born in the same family in Bianliang, and it is rumored that they are martial arts scholars in the rivers and lakes, and they are good at leading cavalry after joining the army." Whether it is in the last general or under the command of General Tang Zhan, it is the style of tiger generals. It's very brave to fight in battle......"
It seems that General Tang has countless elite soldiers and fierce generals, which is related to his senior experience in the rivers and lakes. Xiaofeng hero, your nephew really lives up to your expectations......" Zhu Yuanzhang inadvertently remembered his former old man and former benefactor, but one of the seven heroes of martial arts today is Tang Xiaofeng, who does not know his whereabouts, that is, Tang Zhan's uncle.
"Speaking of General Murong Fei, when he joined the army, his sister Murong Ying also joined the army. At the beginning, she was a female general, and we were not optimistic. It can be said that Yizhou fought a war. Murong Ying contributed a lot to the surrender of the fierce general Qin Yu, and the army division even gave him the first merit of the Battle of Yizhou......" Chang Yuchun added.
"Oh, I heard you say that she was mentioned when the army was transferred......" Zhu Yuanzhang remembered and raised his voice.
"Yes, the last general divided the army and ordered Qin Yu to follow Murong Ying, and when the military is completed, he will accompany General Xu Da. ......"It is rumored that the ancestor of General Qin Yu was Qin Shouyue, the 'divine general' during the period of Emperor Mengyuan...... Now General Qin is under the account of our army. Generously working with the marshal to expel Meng Yuan, I believe that it will be like a tiger with wings! Let him follow General Xu Da to conquer Jinan, it will definitely be the use of talents——"
"I hope that's good......" Zhu Yuanzhang still had a calm expression. Nodding his head, he replied softly, "Soldiers under the vanguard army." Ben Shuai can be trusted......"
Seeing that Tang Zhan and others joined the army, Zhu Yuanzhang did not mention the matter of the vanguard army. If you care about the military situation, you can do it, but the over-mentioning on weekdays seems to have some supervision and even suspicion in it. Chang Yuchun, as a subordinate general, shouldn't have asked too much, but after a long day and a long night, it is inevitable that there will be some doubts and even grievances, so Chang Yuchun asked tentatively: "Marshal, forgive the general...... Marshal, every time you discuss the military with the last general and General Xu Da, you always mention the affairs of the vanguard army, if the military situation is good, you can ...... Marshal, you often refer to individual figures, especially General Tang and army divisions...... Although it is a little inconvenient, I will want to know what it is...... Reason ......"
This is not the first time this kind of question has been asked, when asked before, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was not good-looking, so before asking, Chang Yuchun's expression was also hesitant. However, this time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to be hiding it like before, or he thought of the words to deal with it calmly, so he stepped forward and smiled lightly: "Heh, what's the doubt...... Does General Chang know where this marshal came from?"
"Marshal, you were born poor, swept away from the monastery and became a monk, and then came from Wulin Mingjiao, and took refuge in the account of General Guo of the Red Turban Army...... "Chang Yuchun said unhurriedly.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled lightly, and then said: "It is precisely because Ben S......huai was born at the bottom of the society that he knows that the people of Li are in a hot and cold world, so he becomes a righteous teacher; General Chang was born and died with Ben Shuai, fought in the south and the north, and made countless military exploits, you should know what is the plan for Ben Shuai to conquer Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and other warlords?"
Chang Yuchun thought for a while, and then replied: "Marshal, you recruit heroes in the martial arts to work with you to dominate the cause and save the people of the world...... The marshal once said, 'Those who win the world must first win the hearts of the people' - now the tyranny of the Mengyuan Dynasty, the people of the world are in deep trouble, and they want to rise up and overthrow the declining dynasty. There are many righteous people in the martial arts, responding to the marshal's call, so the martial arts have helped each other, marshal, you can calm the warlord rebellion and win a hundred battles and all the people will be obedient!"
"That's right, before the conquest of Zhang Shicheng, didn't Ben Shuai ask for the help of Xiao Family Villa, one of the five major families of martial arts?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "Now Tang Zhan, Nangong Jun, Murong Fei and General Xiao Tian are all from the family of martial arts scenic spots, and General Tang Zhan's uncle has the grace to save his life and invite the virtuous, and the help of the Central Plains Martial Arts is indispensable for all the people, and now they are all under the tent of this army, isn't this the will of heaven?"
"What the marshal said is very ......," Chang Yuchun responded to the road on the side.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Originally, I just asked for help, but now I let him and others lead the troops by themselves, and Tang Zhan, Lu Jing and other generals can give their orders, this is the righteousness of the Central Plains, isn't it?"
"Marshal Mingjian, the last general is full of admiration-" Chang Yuchun couldn't help but admire Zhu Yuanzhang after listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's story.
Zhu Yuanzhang paused, then waved his hand, and continued to Chang Yuchun: "Therefore, if the commander often pays attention to them, it is equivalent to caring about his army. Okay, okay, General Chang reported the military situation at night. If you're fine, let's go back and rest...... Oh, yes. Tang Zhan and Lu Jing are now under the tent of General Chang without military affairs, and they always pay attention to their movements, and they have to report to me every noon-"After going around in such a big circle, it seems that the last sentence is what Zhu Yuanzhang really wants to say."
But Chang Yuchun, who was "edified" by Zhu Yuanzhang, had long ignored Zhu Yuanzhang's scheming, "Yes-" After asking for an order, he turned around and left the tent......
Zhu Yuanzhang stayed alone in the tent, his eyes were sometimes complicated...... "Hmph." The martial arts generation is concerned, how can I Zhu Yuanzhang not be wary of this powerful power......" Zhu Yuanzhang said secretly in his heart, "Tang Zhan, Lu Jing, Er and others have the talent of generals and have made great achievements...... But this world will only be the world of one person - great things will come to pass, and I, the lord of eternity, will have to pay attention to the aftermath of the matter. I have to get ready now......"
The curtain was closed, and under the lights, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to strategize his "grand ambitions......
Another dull night passed......
Under the spring tent, since Tang Zhan Lu Jing was placed in the camp for a long time. It's still honest. There are not too many cronies of the vanguard army in the army, and the two have not been involved in any military affairs. The only thing that is unique is the front-line battle report sent back by the former staff officer Lao Jiu****. The old nine years are old. It was inconvenient to travel long distances to fight against it, so it was also left under the Changyu Spring Tent. But that's exactly what it is. Lu Jing wanted to know about the war ahead, and she was counting on the intelligence of Lao Jiu and her cousins......
However, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing cultivated after often meeting the spring tent. It's really too honest. Especially Lu Jing, not only did she hardly ask about the affairs of the army, but she rarely even walked out of her camp tent, either reading or writing in the camp every day, occasionally the superior officer was not there, and even played some of the eldest lady's temper in the camp...... Of course, these are all petty fights, with Lu Jing's scheming and wisdom, how can she not see that this is Zhu Yuanzhang's "house arrest" strategy. In order not to make Zhu Yuanzhang suspicious, Lu Jing deliberately pretended to ignore the military, and repeatedly emphasized that Tang Zhan was not allowed to get involved in any military affairs after a few days of recuperation......
On this day, Lu Jing was still resting in the camp tent, as if she didn't plan to leave the camp or even relax......
From time to time, there were a few soldiers guarding the camp outside the tent, and their eyes were staring at the situation of Lu Jing's camp tent from time to time - in fact, this was the eyeliner that Zhu Yuanzhang secretly planted, always paying attention to Tang Zhan and Lu Jing's movements. However, Tang Zhan went out into the woods outside this morning, and since he was alone and didn't bring any guards or cronies and friends, these eyeliners didn't focus too much on Tang Zhan......
The soldiers guarding the camp muttered a few words to each other, made a few glances, and then whispered: "The marshal asked us to keep an eye on their movements, especially the army division, and supervise her every move...... Today, as usual, she did not leave the camp, I am afraid that she is secretly doing something in the camp, so that she can send someone to convey to the front line to instruct the vanguard army cronies and generals to use the strategy within the army-this is what the marshal pays our attention to the most, and we can't see her movements when we stay outside like this......"
"Then go ahead and peek into what she's up to......" said the other soldier.
The guard who took the lead exhaled, and then said: "What are you afraid of? Let's go together, as long as it is said that General Chang is here to reward the army division and come to care about one or two, it will not arouse her suspicions......
So they made up their minds, and everyone decided to go to Lu Jing's tent together to take a peek......
opened the curtain door of Lu Jing's tent, and saw Lu Jing sitting in front of the desk, using a brush to fly on the paper, concentrating, it cannot be ruled out that he was secretly using a plan to give military orders to Zhao Zichuan and other cronies on the front line...... Seeing this scene, all the soldiers walked into the camp together, wanting to find out the "truth" under the pretext.
But the next scene vetoed the conjecture of the guards at once. I saw that Lu Jing seemed to be not very happy, frowned, made a gesture of complaining to everyone, threw the brush in his hand forward, and a drop of ink splashed on the face of the cronies at the front, and then scolded: "I'm annoyed, I'm so annoyed, what kind of bullshit barracks, even a brush is so bad, I can't write clearly? Today's good mood has ruined this broken pen——"
Lu Jing's voice was very fierce, which really startled the guards who came to peep. But when they saw Lu Jing's temper so short-tempered, they knew that what they wrote would definitely not be a military strategy or anything like that, otherwise they would never act in secret with such a big bang.
"Hey, you thieves, who let you in?" was in a bad mood, and saw the soldiers outside the camp entering and leaving his camp tent at will, Lu Jing's anger burst out all at once, and he said in a polite tone.
Lu Jing marched into the army, and the soldiers in the army had heard of it, but Lu Jing played such a big lady's temper on weekdays, or in the barracks, and the soldiers were absolutely unheard of, and they didn't even dare to imagine it. Originally, there was no reason to sneak into the camp tent, but now she was so frightened by Lu Jing's "fuss" that she couldn't speak.
"I ...... We are ......" The soldier who was splashed with ink at the front thought of the previous excuse, and in order not to arouse Lu Jing's suspicion, he said, "We were sent by General Chang...... Sent to comfort the general for your ...... I heard that the general Xuzhou Yizhou Battle made meritorious achievements, and now he ...... Now that you are tired and need to cultivate, the little ones are...... Specially come to care about the general and your ......"
"Yes...... Be...... yes......" The person next to him also said vigorously.
However, Lu Jing seemed to do it on purpose, not only did not stop talking, but also "intensified" and said: "Che, what kind of things are you, and you are still qualified to care about General Ben? General Ben and General Tang Zhan are the main contributors to the capture of Xuzhou and Yizhou, and the marshal praises us and others, what qualifications do you little minions have to touch the light of General Ben?"
I thought that Lu Jing had an approachable personality, but when I saw it today, it surprised and disappointed everyone.
"Besides......" Lu Jing didn't seem to be finished, and continued to "curse", "You wastes stay in the barracks all day long, how can you compare with General Ben's great military exploits, and what kind of table do you pull to talk to General Ben?" Go, this girl is in a bad mood, get me a new brush, if you can't write, see if I don't inform General Chang, I will punish you one by one with a cane!"
After speaking, Lu Jing turned around and kicked a kick, intending to quickly drive away these soldiers. The soldiers screamed, and fled outside the camp, not wanting for a moment to suffer the temper of such an arrogant and rude young lady who had no one in her eyes......
"Hmph, what kind of person, it's just a military advisor belonging to the vanguard army, what is there to boast about?" After leaving the camp, all the soldiers talked one after another, "This kind of guy who has no one in his eyes, really thinks that he is the grandfather of the Heavenly King, how can the marshal worry about letting us spy on this kind of person? I think she is a reckless person at all...... No, a shrew, she can't make it! I'm worried about what kind of scheme she writes secretly...... Cut, joke, too lazy to talk to such a shrew—"
"Hmph, that's it, I don't think we should spy on her, go back and tell the marshal, saying that she Lu Jing is arrogant and unreasonable with her military exploits, let the marshal personally rectify her, and save us from suffering from her eldest lady's temper here every day......"
So after a few muffled words, the soldiers left the camp with a complaining face......
The remaining Lu Jing stayed in the camp alone, her expression gradually converged, and she lost her arrogant temper just now, replaced by a trace of seriousness and caution.
"I don't know how long I can hide this...... Lu Jing said secretly in her heart, "deliberately pretending to be incompetent in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates, it seems too fake, and with Zhu Yuanzhang's scheming, he should also guess that I am deliberately acting for him...... Forget it, in short, before restoring military power, it is better to keep a low profile in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and quietly wait for the Zichuan brothers in front of them to get better......"
It turned out that all of this just now was Lu Jing deliberately acting in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, in order to blind Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, make him feel that he was an incompetent and arrogant person, and relax his vigilance. However, Lu Jing thought that these were not long-term solutions, and for now, she was more low-key, perhaps more conservative.
"Having said that, in the past few days of rest, reading and writing in the camp is not without gain......" Lu Jing slowly walked back to the front of the case, looked at the writing of the book written by herself on the table, turned back to the cover page of the book, and said with a smile, "Since I, Lu Jing, can't use soldiers, then use ......."
The title of the cover of the book has four big characters written - "Lu's Art of War"...... (To be continued.) )
