Lu Yi quickly returned to the Military Academy Residence. The entire Military Academy Residence was empty, without anyone. The students were all at the school grounds now, and they might have a gathering with them later. As for the new batch of students, they were all still in Sili.
He held a low-level official position and was not here. Lu Yi walked into the Military Academy and rushed directly towards Lu Meng's tent. When he ran to the tent, Lu Yi suddenly opened the tent door and walked in.
Sure enough, Lu Meng was here. He was sitting in front of the desk. There was a long sword on the desk. He stared at the sword and didn't know what he was thinking. The blade of the sword was flashing with cold light. Lu Yi was shocked and hurriedly walked to his desk.
Beside him, Lu Meng took away the long sword on the document, but Lu Meng remained motionless. He looked at the document in front of him in silence. Chairman Lu sighed and sat down next to him.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Lu Yi asked, but Lu Meng still stared ahead, motionless, and did not reply. Lu Yi was not good at words, and he didn't know what to say at this time. He said again: "Brother, there is still a chance, next time
, Brother will definitely be among the best," Lu Yi said. Hearing Lu Yi's words, Lu Meng grinned, turned his head and looked at Lu Yi, his eyes full of complexity.
"Bo Yan, you don't have to persuade me, just let me stay by myself for a while."
"By the way, I congratulate you for being the best in three subjects. I will definitely have a drink with you." Lu Meng said and pursed his lips. He didn't even know how he got back here. Just now, the assessment results
, a bolt from the blue, and he could no longer stay there. Thinking about his original words, he felt even more ashamed. Instead of being humiliated there, it would be better to return to the camp alone and sit for a while.
He didn't know what to do next. Although he didn't get the top crown, or even the second crown, he still managed to pass the assessment. But, did he really have to accept it in such a shameful way? How would he see it in the future?
Where are these classmates? How can I go to see them? Lu Meng thought about this, and his heart became even more bitter. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Lu Yi didn't look very happy, even if he won the triple crown.
"Brother, since I came to the Military Academy, no one has cared about me except my brother. In this military academy, I have the closest relationship with my brother. I don't want to see my brother like this. Others don't know my brother's talent, but I know it.
Yes, this is just bad luck." Lu Yi said. This was his first time to console him. He didn't know what to say. Lu Meng shook his head and said, "I accept your kindness, and I don't mind. Just leave me alone."
Just think about it”
Lu Yi didn't speak or leave, just sat quietly next to him.
The two sat in silence for a long time, but someone came in. Lu Yi turned around and saw that the person was Huangfu Song. Lu Yi quickly stood up to greet him. He pulled Lu Meng aside, but Lu Meng ignored him.
While they were sitting, Huangfu Song walked up to them, looked at Lu Yi, and said, "You go out first." Lu Yi looked at Lu Meng worriedly, nodded, and left the camp.
Huangfu Song sat next to Lu Meng and said, "Don't you have a very good relationship with Lu Yi? Why don't you go have a few drinks with him?"
"General, I am not jealous of Boyan, nor do I hate him. It's just that I don't understand how I can't be the best in cavalry and archery."
"It's so simple. You were so focused on getting ahead that you shot all four arrows at other people's wooden targets. You only hit three of them, and the top one hit all seven. How can you compare?" Huangfu Song asked back. Lu Meng then raised his head, looked at Huangfu Song, and asked: "Just because of these???"
"Not only that, since you entered the art of war, you have been extremely arrogant and looked down upon by no one. You feel that the art of war is useless, military strategies are useless, and the study of classics is useless. You only like to wield swords, mount horses, and fly. The emperor put you on the throne with a few words of praise. God, I don’t know who you are, why are you showing off so wantonly? Didn’t you come up with this step by yourself??” Huangfu Song’s rhetorical question immediately stunned Lu Meng. He looked at Huangfu Song in front of him and couldn’t say anything for a long time. Speak up.
"Don't look at me like that. Although you failed this test, I still came to see you. Why?? Just because I think you have a heroic spirit that is similar to my deceased uncle. Maybe you don't know, My uncle Huangfu Gui was one of the Three Ming Dynasties in Liangzhou. When he was young, he was just like you. He didn't like the classics and the art of war, so he only devoted himself to martial arts and drinking. He spent his whole day debauched and served as a dandy. Later, when he was offering sacrifices to his ancestors, he entered drunkenly and defiled the country. Ancestors"
"My great-grandfather, General Du Liao, had him arrested, thrown into a wine vat, and pressed on his head to prevent him from coming out."
"He was seriously ill. After he woke up, he never drank alcohol again and began to concentrate on his studies. He successively served as a meritorious officer, a doctor, a prefect, put down the rebels, and then as a general of the Zhonglang. Finally, he succeeded his great-grandfather and served as the general of the Liao Dynasty. Huangfu Song said, looked at Lu Meng and said, "I was happy at first. Could this failure be like changing my uncle's wine vat, cheering you up and studying hard? I didn't expect that I was wrong."
"How can you compare to my uncle? You are hiding here like a woman. You don't even have the courage to celebrate your comrades? You don't even have the courage to suffer humiliation??"
"Forget it, forget it, you are so stubborn, you can't afford me to come and comfort you in person!!" Huangfu Song said disdainfully, then stood up and walked out. Lu Meng watched him leave blankly, He stood up suddenly, bowed to Huangfu Song, and said, "Thank you for your teaching!!!"
Huangfusong didn't look back, his face was still solemn, and he walked out of the tent, only to see Lu Yi standing at the door.
"Haha, you guys have learned how to eavesdrop too??"
As Huangfusong spoke, Lu Yi's face turned red and he was speechless. Huangfusong waved to him to follow him, and then said: "Among this group of students, you are the most outstanding, but you must not Pride, do you understand? If you can serve as a captain in the Confederate Army, remember to respect the former captains and stop being so indifferent, otherwise, you will suffer a lot."
As Huangfu Song spoke, Lu Yi listened attentively. When Huangfu Song finished speaking, Lu Yi couldn't help but ask: "Old General, was Shouchengtinghou really addicted to alcohol when he was young???"
Huangfu Song laughed, looked at Lu Yi behind him, and whispered: "My uncle, he has not been able to drink alcohol since he was a child, and he has never eaten alcohol."
"Then you are, General just now"
"I lied to him, I just hope he can cheer up."
Huangfu Song smiled and left the Bingxue Mansion.
Lu Yi stood there in a daze, watching Huangfu Song leave. Unexpectedly, such a respected old man would deceive others. He thought to himself and returned to Lu Meng's camp. Before he could reach the camp, he met someone on the road. When they arrived at Lu Meng, the sorrow and unwillingness on Lu Meng's face had disappeared without a trace. He looked at Lu Yi in front of him, laughed and said, "Bo Yan! Come with me to buy some drinks?!"
"good!"
The results of the military assessment were spread quickly. However, not many people cared about this matter. Only the generals in the court paid more attention to it. The name Lu Yi entered the hearts of these people.
In the Hall of Virtue, the emperor looked at the list in his hand and shook his head. It was a pity that Lu Meng was not selected. However, he, who was familiar with the Book of Heaven, also knew these people. Each of them was a general who had appeared in the Book of Heaven.
talent.
The emperor looked at the list, frowned and thought for a long time. Liangzhou has been plundered by the Qiang people outside the Great Wall for a long time. Otherwise, he should send all these guys to the Southern Army and solve the problem of the Qiang people outside the Great Wall first.
As a bridge from temples to Xizhou, there must be no mistakes. Of course, the Qiang people outside the Great Wall today cannot sweep Liangzhou and block traffic, but they can still rob merchants and harm the frontier fortress.
Just in time, let these Qiang people come and practice with these young generals.
If you think about it carefully, there are quite a lot of generals in the Southern Army. After these people arrive, this Southern Army will probably become the most terrifying army in the entire Han Dynasty, far surpassing the Northern Army. That's fine.
Just in time to solve some problems on the frontier.
As for how to distribute these people, it was up to the Taiwei to take care of it. The emperor knew that Sun Jian had been busy recently, so he did not call him to the palace and directly issued the edict to him. Sun Jian was discussing this matter with everyone in the palace.
Before the discussion about the training of the Northern and Southern armies was completed, Huangmen arrived first and brought the emperor's edict. Sun Jian opened the edict, looked at it for a few times, couldn't help but sigh, and put the edict on the document.
Chen Gong, who was sitting opposite Sun Jian, looked at Sun Jian's tired face and asked helplessly: "His Majesty gave another order?"
"Yes, let me arrange for the students who have passed the examination to go to the Southern Army as soon as possible. It seems that the emperor wants to use the Southern Army. It is estimated that the matter of the Qiang people outside the Great Wall will be piled up. This is much more difficult than leading troops to fight.
I finally know why Mr. Jia wants to stay away from the temple and go to Xizhou." Sun Jian shook his head and said bitterly: "I think Mr. Jia can live at least thirty years longer than me."
"Lieutenant, don't talk like that," Chen Gong said, "These things can be assigned to us according to the assessment results. It's not difficult." Sun Jian shook his head and said, "Isn't it difficult?
?There are not many vacancies in the Southern Army, so it is not easy to force them to fill in a group of people. If they are allowed to seize the position of the original general, I am afraid that the Southern Army will be alienated. But if they do not seize it, then these carefully cultivated students must be asked to do it.
Soldiers??”
"Then we can only increase the size of the Southern Army?"
"Yes, we can only add more or replace them. But the Southern Army suffered heavy casualties before, and they have just recruited soldiers. If they want to recruit again, the emperor's temperament may lead to an attack outside the Great Wall that day. Do you want to let the soldiers you just recruited
Are the new recruits going to die outside the Great Wall??"
"I have paid attention to the Grand Lieutenant. There is also a military brigade in Liangzhou to protect the Qiang Zhonglang General's army. Does the Grand Lieutenant still remember it?"
"Cheri withdrew his original army?? Of course I remember that the veteran Zong Yuan is currently occupying the position of Zhonglang General??"
"That's right, we can select a group of elite soldiers from his command to join the Southern Army and expand their education. In this way, we can respond to foreign wars at any time, and we can also recruit these students into the Southern Army." Chen Gong
As he said that, Sun Jian nodded, but then frowned and said, "But how could the Qiang people join the Southern Army when his subordinates are all Qiang people??" Chen Gong was stunned and asked: "They used to follow Cheri to retreat.
General, you have defeated the Qiang people outside the Great Wall many times and have made outstanding achievements, why not??"
Sun Jian pondered for a moment and said helplessly: "That's the only way it can be, then I'll leave it to you to handle the specific details."
