Gao Shun left the camp, Lan Ji and Guan Xing looked at Lan Tian expectantly, both of them wanted to challenge.
The thoughts of the two young people were written on their faces. Lan Tian could see clearly at a glance. He knew that young people are impulsive and love to express themselves, so he deliberately did not respond and continued to focus on the map.
Under Lan Ji's encouragement, Guan Xing asked cautiously: "Uncle, you just came to Jiangling, are you going to leave again soon?"
Lantian's eyes were still on the map, and he nodded and replied: "Yes, clear out the defeated troops in Jiangdong as soon as possible, so that I can go north to help your father."
"Can you take me with you?" Guan Xing asked tentatively.
"No." Lan Tian looked at him with firm eyes.
"Why? During these days of defending Jiangling City, General Xiang and Zhong Ling have seen my performance and will not embarrass my uncle." Guan Xing argued.
Lan Ji then added: "Yes, father, Anguo is very good."
Lantian turned around and replied with a serious face: "First of all, you are Yunchang's son. He did not approve you to go to the battlefield. After all, you and Zhongling guarding the city violated the rules. I will intercede with Yunchang on this point.
Although Lu Meng and Sun Jiao escaped by water, the whereabouts of thousands of Guli people are unknown. Jiangling City still needs to strengthen its security. An Guo still stays to protect his family. Your father has to decide when he can go to the battlefield in the future. "
"Oh okay..."
Guan Xing was obviously disappointed, but Lan Tian brought Guan Yu up to suppress him, and Guan Xing couldn't find any reason to refute.
"Father, what about me?" Lan Ji walked over with a smile.
"You can't do it either." Lan Tian looked at Lan Ji's expectant eyes and immediately poured cold water on him.
Lan Ji looked incredulous and quickly asked: "Why? He did not join the army in Anguo. The boy is already a Sima of another branch of the youth camp. Whether it is taming the prisoners of Cao's army, holding on to the city, or killing the enemy general Han Dang at the foot of Jiangling City, I
He is already a qualified soldier."
Lan Tian's face was serious, "You are barely a good soldier. Don't forget that you are still in charge of five hundred young men. You are far from being a general."
"Uh... I think it's not bad, I think." Lan Ji lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, not daring to show his unconvinced expression to Lan Tian.
"Conducting an army and training soldiers does not happen overnight. Since Boping has taught you the methods, you should polish and understand them yourself. Remember not to rush for success. A high platform with an unstable foundation will easily collapse." Lan Tian taught earnestly.
"Don't worry, kid..." Lan Ji said with helplessness in his tone.
Lantian saw this and continued to ask, "I saw that you were very proud after you killed the general. Can you tell me what the most important qualities of a good general are?"
Lan Ji stood up straight and said sonorously: "Of course he is extremely brave, gets into battle and kills generals, climbs first to capture the flag, and wins every war for the country."
"This is ridiculous..." Lan Tian shook his head after hearing this.
Lan Ji and Guan Xing were both surprised when they saw this. Lan Ji knew that his father had seen many people before, so he immediately cupped his fists and saluted: "Please teach me, father..."
Lan Tian looked at Lan Ji kindly, then turned to look at Guan Xing next to him, and then said meaningfully: "A general is the leader of soldiers. There is a family behind every soldier. During war, everyone wants to make contributions.
But the parents at home just want their son to return safely. A wise general can not only win the battle, but also bring his soldiers home alive. This is the most important quality."
Lan Ji and Guan Xing were silent. While they were slowly digesting their thoughts, Lan Tian continued to add: "Judging from your reckless behavior last night, you have not considered the consequences at all. What if Jiangdong's army really invades the city?"
manage?"
"Of course we have to resist with all our strength, and then cover the evacuation of the family members." Lan Ji replied.
Lan Tian nodded slightly, "Although the idea is good, it is not enough to respond to emergencies. We should first send people to find out the actual situation, first grasp the specific situation of the enemy, and then make a better judgment. Even if we want to contain and delay time, we must use our own opponents.
Familiar with the terrain, instead of recklessly going head-to-head. Once the opponent bites you, how many of your five hundred young soldiers will be left?"
Lan Ji blushed and was embarrassed to answer, but Guan Xing quickly came to the rescue: "Uncle, he has great insights, but there will always be casualties in war. Zhong Ling's performance last night was already very good. After all, he is only twelve years old now."
Lan Tian stroked his beard and said, "It's good to know that you are only twelve years old. It is easiest to become arrogant and complacent when you are young. I don't think this is a good thing. Those five hundred young soldiers are all the children of the generals and are the mainstay of the country's army in the future, but so
If all the young soldiers are sent to the battlefield, the losses will be immeasurable. If a large number of young soldiers are killed in battle, think about what situation General Guan will face? Will his arrogant soldiers mutiny?"
Lan Ji and Guan Xing suddenly broke out in sweat on their foreheads. Lan Tian's answer was beyond their imagination at this level.
"Father, I understand, I will stay and continue training." Lan Ji cupped his fists and gave Lan Tian a military salute.
"It takes ten years to sharpen a sword. You are still so young. There will be many opportunities for you to ride in the future. There is no need to rush for a moment. You have to learn from your elder brother. His character will be much more stable. Boping's training methods cannot be superficial.
In addition, please consult General Guan and Military Advisor Xu more, you still need to learn a lot of knowledge." Lan Tian said earnestly.
Lan Ji nodded frequently when he heard this: "Child, please be taught. Anguo and I will go back to the city right now. My father has had a hard time marching, so please take care of yourself."
Lan Tian waved his hand gently: "Go back quickly, I'll give you four words to help you gain more."
Lan Ji and Guan Xing bid farewell to Lan Tian and walked out of the camp. Although they didn't get what they wanted, they were convinced by Lan Tian.
"Zhong Ling, I feel that my uncle is really powerful. No wonder my father respects him so much. His ability to strategize and win thousands of miles away is not something everyone can learn. If he hadn't sent out troops to rescue him in time, Jingzhou's current situation would be terrible.
Unthinkable." Guan Xing sighed on the way back to the city.
Lan Ji was still digesting Lan Tian's words. When he heard Guan Xing's praise, he couldn't help but agree: "It's also strange that Lu Meng and the others are not smart. They dare to provoke them after suffering a loss. This is called God's evil can be forgiven, but man's evil can't live.
..."
"By the way, is Boyang really amazing?" Guan Xing asked.
Lan Ji nodded, "The eldest brother has a humble and steady personality. I really need to learn from him in this aspect, but it also has something to do with being by my father's side all the time. I have learned some skills from him."
"Then Zhong Ling, aren't you at a loss? My eldest brother also follows his father all year round and can listen to his teachings every day. We are not the eldest sons and we have to work harder." Guan Xing scratched his head.
Lan Ji smiled leisurely: "Why do you have the idea of ​​suffering a loss? Everyone's destiny is different. I am not as calm as my elder brother. It is easier to follow my uncle in the army. I am already a Sima of another department.
Brother, he is still a guard now..."
"Uncle is so strict." Guan Ping looked surprised.
