Chapter 122 Three sentences give three thousand men a new look

After walking less than ten miles, a messenger came up from the rear of the palace to report.

"Report! The Zhongwei doctor, the governor of Fangzhou, and the Zhongshi of Qinzhou Zhizhou, together with their four sons Xiu Wulang and Youban Zhi Zhonglan, are asking for an audience."

Among the teachers? Famous generals of the Western Army, why did the father and son come here?

"Please!"

After a while, Baqi, led by Xunqi, arrived.

"I've seen the people who control Liu Guan among the lay masters. It's rude and rude to pay you a visit rashly." A gray-robed elder in his fifties rode on a horse and sang with cupped hands.

"Zhong Zhizhou, Mr. Liu has missed his welcome, rude, rude!" Liu Guozhang quickly returned the greeting.

"Mr. Liu, this is my son, Zhong Lan. He is the seventh among the uncles and brothers. He is known as Zhong Qilang."

The young man in green robe stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Zhong Lan has met Mr. Liu."

"It's true that a tiger father has no dog son, Zhong Qizhilang is a hero and a good son at first glance!"

Liu Guozhang was younger than Zhong Lan, but his words were so mature that others could not seem to think of him as transcendent.

"Zhong Zhizhou, Zhong Qilang, I'm really lucky to meet you two here."

Master Zhong laughed loudly, "I'll call you Liu Erlang as I grow older."

"That's right." Liu Guozhang replied nonchalantly.

"I'm nicknamed Duanru, Erlang just call me by my nickname."

"Duanru Gong, Erlang asked directly, Feng Xuetian, how did you two come here?"

"I took Qi Lang with me to Bianjing to wish the official family longevity, as entrusted by Tong Taiwei and the Shaanxi army. After the incident, I took leave from the Privy Council and took Qi Lang to Fuli County in Suzhou to visit An old friend sincerely helps you.

Duke Chengyou had previously served as Qin Feng Road's transport envoy, and he treated me and other generals very well. I was able to make a small contribution to the border and got a lot of help from him. He retired and returned to his hometown a few years ago and was raised in his hometown of Fuli. This time I took advantage of the opportunity and went to visit.

When we returned to Bianjing, we walked to Nanjing and heard that the Bianhe River waterway in front of us was blocked, so we took the less crowded land route to the north, not wanting to meet Liu Erlang here. "

It turned out to be the case.

After Zhong Shizhong finished speaking, Zhong Lan clasped his fists and continued: "Dad and I just happened to see the left camp guarding the river. The trumpets were blown to gather and march out. The cavalry with one drum was assembled, and the whole battalion with two drums was assembled. It was completely different from the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army. Next Out of curiosity, I asked my father to follow me and ask Erlang for advice."

Zhong Lan's words were polite, but his face was full of dissatisfaction.

Of course.

His Xiu Wulang was only the eighth rank, and ranked fifty-fifth in rank from front to back. There was a thirty-level difference from Liu Guozhang's sixth-rank Dr. Zuo Wu, who was ranked twenty-fourth.

But they did it with a knife and a gun after patching up the shade.

Where is Liu Guozhang? There is such a thing as military merit, but it was due to a good reincarnation. He accidentally became a relative and was suddenly promoted.

Are you convinced?

Of course not convinced.

So what if you are brave?

There are many brave and skilled warriors in the Western Army, but they lack the talent to run an army and have military strategies. They can only serve as generals and lieutenants and risk their lives as vanguards.

Suddenly seeing Liu Erlang commanding the two thousand horse infantry in a decent manner, Zhong Lan would definitely think that this was done by his subordinates and had nothing to do with Liu Erlang.

He's just here to slap you in the face!

Liu Guozhang thought about it briefly and guessed the man's little thoughts.

"I don't dare to ask for advice. Liu really put some thought into protecting the left camp of the river, and now it looks decent and can be used."

"I am also aware of the situation of the Imperial Guards in Gyeonggi Province. I wonder what method Liu Erlang used to give them a new look?"

Zhong Lan asked unceremoniously.

Walking on the horse, he was like a sharp knife, with a sharp edge.

"Haha, Liu understands the meaning of Qilang's words. It's just that the failure of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army is not at the bottom, but at the top. There are 270,000 soldiers, but the actual number is less than 100,000. The more than 200,000 children of the Forbidden Army have no way to serve the country. It's difficult. Exhibiting ambitions. Even if he is registered in the army, he is still confused.

They serve as ceremonial guards when the powerful come in and out, and work on repairs for high-ranking families. They are even regarded as coolies, sent to transport goods to the powerful businesses and farm the fields of the manors. If you practice like this, your blood will have become cold, your energy will have dissipated, and your heart will have become cold. How can you still have any fighting power! "

"That's right!" Zhong Shizhong and Zhong Lan and his son looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"Then how did Liu Erlang get them back on their feet?" "It's very simple. I just said three sentences to make them look new."

"what?!"

Not only was Zhong Lan extremely curious, but even the steady Zhong Master couldn't help but ask, "Please give me some advice from Erlang."

Just as Liu Guozhang was about to say something, Xunqi came up to report again.

"Report! We caught a few sneaky people. One of them resisted and was beaten with a stick by us. After he confessed, he said that he was the judge of the left hall of Kaifeng Prefecture, named Li Gang. There was also a man named Liu Ziyu who claimed to be a general. Shilang, currently in charge of the Appeasement Department of Shaanxi Road, writing suitable characters."

"Li Gang? Haha, invite them here."

Li Gang and Liu Ziyu were quickly invited.

Li Gang was a little embarrassed, his head was tilted, his Fei Pao uniform had two holes in it, and there were a lot of dust stains on it.

"Brother Bo Ji, I haven't seen you for half a month. I miss you very much." Liu Guozhang stepped forward with a smile and hugged him without any explanation.

Li Gang resisted very much, pushed away with both hands, and refused to hug.

It's a pity that Liu Guozhang's natural power could not be stopped. He was like a koala being held firmly in the arms of a big brown bear.

"Ah, Brother Boji, why are you like this?"

During Li Gang's struggle, Liu Guozhang finally let him go, and then asked with a surprised look on his face.

"The general is a tough bandit, and the soldiers he brings are also bandits. Brother Yanxiu wants to pay a visit to you, and I will help introduce you. As soon as I got closer, I was surrounded by several of your cavalry, and they beat me up without saying a word. Yes. It’s an insult to elegance! It’s an insult to elegance!”

Liu Guozhang chuckled and said, "Brother Bo Ji, we are practicing military law on the march. You rushed up without saying a word and without reporting. Who knows if you are a bad person? My cavalry at the rear will definitely investigate.

Brother Boji, I still understand him. He must have disdain to talk to these red guys. He just shouted to ask Liu Erlang to come out and speak. It's natural to eat a few sticks. Look at this brother Yanxiu,"

Liu Guozhang pointed at Liu Ziyu.

"If you know the rules in the army, you must immediately announce your family and tell your intentions. Look at him, he doesn't even have an extra wrinkle on his clothes. Bo Ji, since he knows that Erlang is vulgar and the soldiers he leads are also vulgar, he should add more Be careful. Look, this beating from society will be in vain!"

Li Gang was so angry that he turned around and was about to leave, but Liu Guozhang grabbed him.

"Bo Ji, you have to start and end everything you do. You can't be a Jinshi and want to transfer to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, right?"

"Why are you going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"You didn't do things carefully, and there's nothing down there."

Li Gang's face turned purple with anger, and Zhong Lan and Liu Ziyu tried their best to hold back their laughter.

Inhale, exhale, breathe calmly, don't be angry!

You know what kind of birdman Liu Erlang is.

Don't fall for his tricks, fall into his trap, lose your manners, and become a joke.

Li Gang comforted himself and introduced calmly: "This is Liu Ziyu, whose courtesy name is Yanxiu. He is the eldest son of Shaanxi transit envoy Zhongyan Gong (Liu Kai)."

"Brother Yanxiu, you are so disrespectful and disrespectful!"

"My dear brother Guozhang, it is rude and rude to pay you a visit rashly."

After the two of them saw the ceremony, Master Zhong and Zhong Lan also came forward to see the ceremony.

"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Duanru and Zhong Qilang here. What a coincidence."

"Where are Yanxiu going?"

"I was entrusted by my father to take advantage of this business trip to Bianjing to visit an old friend and elder in Nanjing."

After a few words of greeting, the impatient Zhong Lan couldn't wait to ask: "Erlang, what three words did you say to make the Three Thousand River Guards Zuoying look brand new?"

Ah, there is still this matter? Liu Ziyu and Li Gang, who roughly understood the situation, were also very interested and couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Liu Guozhang.

"Actually, it's just three simple sentences, three sentences based on human nature." Liu Guozhang said in a calm tone.
