A nice robe was draped over his shoulders, he was whistling "Du, Du~" in his mouth, and he was taking steps like he didn't recognize his relatives.
Hu Biao, who was already a fifth-rank official in the Song Dynasty, walked straight out of the shabby magistrate's office in Haiyang City like a blind drifter, looking in a very good mood.
All the reasons are because there are two pieces of good news today.
The first good news is that from a time perspective, the Dengzhou Navy will soon arrive in Pingzhou within the next two days.
Even if Hu Biao knew that water power during the Northern Song Dynasty was really not that good.
The famous capital fleet was actually a bathtub fleet for Song Huizong and others to inspect and watch the excitement.
But no matter how you say it, the Dengzhou Navy belongs to the Song Dynasty in terms of size and strength. It is the well-deserved first fleet. There are always so many bad ships, right?
In addition, it is said that in order to transport more baggage, some private ships were temporarily mobilized.
Therefore, Hu Biao believes that we can definitely look forward to the total amount of baggage transported this time.
You know, Haiyang City is about to run out of food now; not only the original food on hand has been eaten up, but also the batch of food obtained from Zhang Jue in Pingzhou City, who is also short of food.
There was no way! After word spread that people in Haiyang City could have enough to eat as long as they worked, two to three thousand victims suddenly came.
It was only later that a group of netizens announced that they would never need more workers, and then the number of people hired was finally fixed at this number, otherwise it would be far more than that.
Fortunately, as soon as the Dengzhou Navy arrives, food will definitely not be a problem.
The second good news came from the direction of Yanjing.
The Western Army, commanded by Tong Guan from behind and commanded by Zhong Shidao and Wang Zhen from the front, has now arrived at Yanjing City. It has taken almost ten days.
During such a period of time, facing the serious Western Army of the Song Dynasty, because Yelu Dashi was seriously injured, the Liao Army could only be commanded by Xiao Qian. The results of the battle between the two sides can be said to be mutually beneficial.
And as long as this fighting method continues, it means that the Song Dynasty in Yanjing City is determined.
Because there are only so many Liao soldiers in Yanjing City now, they can be exhausted.
It can be said that this situation was completely changed for the better only by people like Hu Biao after that blocking battle.
Just thinking about such a change makes this guy feel a sense of accomplishment...
****
Hu Biao, in a rare and good mood, patrolled inside and outside Haiyang City.
It can be seen that with the hard work of more than 2,000 coolies, the walls of Haiyang City, even though they are still relatively low, have been obviously reinforced.
On the city wall, not only many arrow towers have been erected, but also many wooden logs and rolling stones have been prepared.
Under the city wall, a moat designed to be two meters deep and three meters wide is about to be completed.
Even now, the moat has not yet had time to directly introduce river water from a small river not far away; just at the bottom of the ditch, there are some sharp wooden thorns stuck in it, which looks very troublesome.
Facing such increasingly complete fortifications, Hu Biao became more and more in a good mood and continued to sneak around.
No matter who he met, he always had a smiling face.
On the contrary, the common people who have been used to this person being scolded at every turn in recent times feel a little unaccustomed to him and feel uneasy.
This situation continued until Hu Biao saw Yue Fei and Grandpa Yue reading a book behind a pile of wood.
To be more precise, Grandpa Yue, who is now wearing a coarse cloth jacket, with his sleeves and trousers rolled up, looks more like a farmer than a Youwu doctor from the sixth rank of the Song Dynasty.
Hu Biao could tell at a glance that Grandpa Yue was personally involved in the process of strengthening the city's defenses.
In this rare break, while others were bragging and spanking, he was still reading the Song Dynasty version of "Jixiao New Book".
By the way! It must have been more than a month since I threw this book to Grandpa Yue.
It seems that whenever Grandpa Yue is free, he will take this military book and read it carefully. There is a look of gain on his face, and he doesn't know how much it will help him.
After thinking of this in his mind, Hu Biao couldn't help but ask:
"Grandpa Yue, that's not right! Pengju.
You have been reading this military book for a long time, and I wonder what you have learned from it? If you were asked to lead a large army, how would you be able to win every battle and bring peace to the world?"
After hearing Hu Biao's voice, Yue Fei didn't pay much attention to the fact that this guy was the first to shout out the word "Grandpa".
The main reason is that he has long been accustomed to this title.
Hu Xuanzan, as well as his colleagues who were close to him, could say anything good. Even when they greeted him every time they met, they would suddenly use the title "Grandpa Yue".
Yue Fei, who is now 19 years old, sounds very embarrassed.
Fortunately, as time went by, he got used to this kind of embarrassment.
After ignoring the title "Grandpa Yue", he tried hard to think about Hu Biao's question. After carefully organizing his words, he came up with this answer:
"Xuan Zan, Fei read the "New Performance Book" repeatedly, combined with some camp experience, and has the following brief opinions.
As long as civil servants do not love money and military generals are willing to die, the world will be peaceful.
If you want to be victorious in every battle? Whether the military formation is neat, whether there are sufficient ordnance, food and wages, and how sophisticated the strategy is, these things are naturally very important.
Fei Fei believes that the most important thing is for soldiers to obey orders and dare to fight.
It is best to recruit honest people from the countryside as soldiers, and other veterans, oily men, and cunning people will not be used.
As long as they are well trained and allowed to freeze to death without demolishing their houses, starve to death without looting, and remain immobile against heavy cavalry in a formation, they will naturally become invincible and victorious in every battle~"
After hearing such statements, Hu Biao suddenly felt extremely relieved.
It is undeniable that there are still some shortcomings in what Grandpa Yue said, regarding the development of ideological education work in the military.
In ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, and in the five thousand years of history, there is only one pla.
Grandpa Yue really wants to train the Yue Family Army according to the standards mentioned above. Isn’t it an enhanced version of the Yue Family Army 2.0 that combines the advantages of the Qi Family Army?
It must be more powerful than the army that Jin Bing said was easy to shake a mountain but difficult to shake the Yue family's army.
In the current feudal dynasty, it is absolutely possible to be invincible.
However, after thinking about Grandpa Yue's extremely miserable future, which would make future generations sigh with regret, Hu Biao couldn't help but say:
"Pengju, you have such insight, I don't worry about you at all regarding the battalion.
But if you want to do something as an official in the Song Dynasty, you have to be more cunning than a corrupt official; even for officials, you have to pay attention to some methods."
Hu Biao said this just because he wanted Grandpa Yue to be more thoughtful.
At least don't keep the slogan "Welcome back the Second Emperor" on your lips.
After hearing what Hu Biao said, Yue Fei agreed on the spot, but he could see that the other party did not listen to it.
Suddenly Hu Biao sighed and thought to himself:
"If Grandpa Yue turns out to be what he said, more cunning and cunning than a corrupt official, then will he still be the same Grandpa Yue that everyone in this nation will respect after a thousand years?"
After adjusting his tone, Hu Biao planned to say something else. In short, he couldn't let them come and Grandpa Yue still had such a bad result after the previous trip.
But before he could continue to persuade him, he accidentally saw a horse riding outside the city.
That is to say, after the scene where the singer, who had penetrated deep into the north with his horse, suddenly fell off the horse at full speed, he suddenly felt a thump in his heart and knew that something serious must have happened.
I can't care anymore and continue to persuade Yue Fei here...
