Chapter 87 Arrangements
The other local officials in Xuzhou were very envious, but they were also curious about why Li Pu learned that Zhuge Xuan had a nephew, and why he recommended Zhuge Liang to serve as an official.
But it can be guessed that the Zhuge family will become prosperous.
After Li Pu left, Xuzhou officials of all sizes hurriedly toasted to Zhuge Xuan and took the opportunity to please Zhuge Xuan.
The singing and dancing in the arena continued, and Zhuge Xuan was toasted one after another by everyone.
I soon became dizzy from drinking, until I lay down on the table drunkenly and fell asleep.
Drinking and banquets in Xuzhou halls are quite elegant, but it is different outside Xuzhou city.
Li Pu took Zhuge Liang to the camp where Fa Li was destroyed.
Zhuge Liang was good in everything, but he died too early, at only fifty-four years old. His life was too short at this age.
Since he is not in good health, he should work hard. Li Pu is going to show Zhuge Liang the pride of the warriors in the army.
Let Zhuge Liang follow the soldiers and get some exercise.
"Come on, come on! Everyone, look over here! I'm going to tell you something today!"
The celebrating soldiers saw Li Pu on the high platform and immediately looked over.
"Did you see him?"
Li Pu held Zhuge Liang in one hand and shook him in the air.
All the soldiers said in unison, "I saw it."
"From now on! He will be your army chief! Do you understand?"
The officers and soldiers were a little confused. In the army, apart from Jushou, there were no civil servants. Normally, some clerical work was done by literate people in the army.
Now, suddenly a child who looks like a scholar is thrown in. What does this mean?
"From now on, he will train with you. For three months, I want his physique to keep up with yours. After half a year, I want his martial arts to be better than half of you! Do you understand?"
"ah?"
The soldiers were obviously even more confused, why?
An extra burden has appeared inexplicably. Did the general not be rescued on the battlefield the day before yesterday, so the general found an excuse to cause trouble?
"Okay, I understand. Now Kong Ming can just..."
Li Pu stretched out his finger and pointed around the field.
The hearts of all the soldiers in the field were tense, but they couldn't let the general insert Zhuge Liang in. This kid looked weak at first sight, and he trained him to be like himself. How could it be possible in three months?
It’s so baffling that you have to be punished for not completing the task!
Some people quickly put the wine jar on their heads and fell to the ground, pretending to be drunk.
Some people hurriedly turned around, turned over the meat roasted on the fire, sprinkled seasonings on it, and pretended to be very busy.
Some people simply lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, refusing to get up no matter how hard others push them.
You can't run away at this time, everyone is sitting on the ground, and it will be more obvious once you stand up.
Wherever Li Pu pointed, people there would quickly turn around.
"Lai Wen! It's you! Don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead! Get up!" Li Pu immediately saw Lai Wen lying on the ground pretending to be dead.
The surrounding soldiers were laughing and joking as they forcibly pulled Lai Wen up.
"General Lai, get up! You won the prize!"
Seeing that this matter could not be brushed aside, Lai Wen stood up angrily.
"Which grandson stepped on my hand just now! Watch me clean it up later!"
Lai Wen first turned around and cursed, not knowing who he wanted to scold.
"General, you can't leave me alone! How can I train him? I don't know anything!"
Lai Wen then turned around and begged Li Pu for mercy.
Although Lai Wen's martial arts skills are not as good as those of Zhang He, Zhang Yun and others, his martial arts skills are actually not bad. In those days, he was ranked first in the military competition because of his strength.
It is definitely more than enough for him to lead Zhuge Liang to practice martial arts. This is also a bit of grace given to him by Li Pu.
With Zhuge Liang's strength, he will be in a high position sooner or later. Now he is training Zhuge Liang. When Zhuge Liang takes the position, will he be forgotten as the leader?
This guy still doesn't appreciate it, so it seems I still have to convince him.
"Stop talking nonsense! If you can't reach it, you will get 30 army sticks in three months, and if you can't reach it in half a year, you will get 50 army sticks."
"Ah!" Lai Wen felt as if he had been cheated, but he couldn't refuse.
If someone else spoke to him like this, the grass on his grave would be two meters high, but for Li Pu...
"promise……"
Lai Wen responded helplessly.
"He will be your captain in the army from now on. Just follow him, but remember, don't forget to study when practicing martial arts. I hope you will become a handsome man who takes charge of the overall situation, not a reckless man who can only swing a knife to kill people. Do you understand?
?”
Li Pu turned around and said to the young Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang was initially a little unhappy when he saw that Li Pu was going to send him to the army, but then he saw that everyone was unwilling to take him, and he became competitive in his heart.
Now when I hear Li Pu's words again, Li Pu has such high expectations for him. It is easy to say "overseeing the overall situation", but how many people can really do it since ancient times?
Zhuge Liang, who was unwilling at first, changed his attitude after hearing these words.
"Please rest assured, general, Liang will live up to his expectations!"
The young Zhuge Liang said these words very solemnly.
Li Pu was also a little pleased. Zhuge Liang was a person who could entrust him with important tasks. Although he was allowed to strengthen his body, it would be a pity if he turned into a reckless man who could only kill people.
"If you want any books or advice from famous experts, just tell Lai Wen. If he can't do it, come to me."
"promise."
After explaining it to Zhuge Liang, he said it to Lai Wen.
"Train three hours a day and study three hours a day, do you understand?"
"promise……"
Raiven replied weakly.
"Um?"
Li Pu frowned and looked at Lai Wen.
"promise!"
Lai Wen immediately stood up straight and his tone became very firm.
"Well, that's right. What does it look like to be weak? Okay, you can continue to drink and restrain the soldiers after three days."
"oh!"
All the soldiers cheered in unison, but Lai Wen looked at the handsome boy Zhuge Liang with a sad look on his face.
Lai Wen regretted it very much. In fact, with his status, he could enter the palace in the city to attend Li Pu's banquet, but he felt that he could not let go at all in the palace, so he went outside the city to join the soldiers, but he did not expect that he would
It's such a hard job.
After Li Pu and everyone drank a jar of wine, they returned to the city.
"General Lai, what should I do now?" Zhuge Liang looked at everyone in the camp celebrating like crazy, and then looked at Lai Wen's sad face, wanting to say something to break the embarrassment.
"Eat and drink enough first. If you need anything, come back to me in three days."
Lai Wen waved his hand helplessly. Although he has errands, for now it is more important to drink and eat meat with everyone. What about Zhuge Liang? Let’s talk about it in three days!
"promise."
Zhuge Liang found a fire, silently took out a book from his arms, and started to read the book under the barbecue fire.
The carnival and shouting of the soldiers around him did not affect him.
"What bastard put so much salt on this barbecue!"
"Where's my wine?"
Chapter completed!
