back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 204 The Egg Hits the Stone

Fatty Lu's infinite reverie is understandable.It’s like people who bought Cuju Fucai fantasized about winning the biggest prize. As for what would happen after buying, who would have thought of it when they bought it?
Moderate fantasies are okay, but as a general, the most important thing is to have a clear mind.The so-called way to be a general is to first cure the heart.Mount Tai collapses in the front but its color does not change, and the elk rises in the left without blinking.Only then can we achieve victory without pride and defeat without discouragement.

As a vanguard, Lu Chenhuan must be qualified, but as a leading general, he still lacks some firepower.Of course, not everyone has such a high level of xinxing cultivation. To become a qualified general, one needs not only experienced battles, but also good political reading skills and an overall understanding of the battlefield.

Of course, you need an emperor who trusts you and let you lead the soldiers to fight north and south.Isn't there a saying that "one general succeeds and ten thousand bones die", if you want to become a peerless famous general, there must be countless soldiers who work for him.

But this kind of general, all the soldiers want to follow him, because the soldiers all know that this general has a high winning rate.The higher the winning rate, the higher the chances of soldiers surviving, and the higher the probability of gaining military merit and enfeoffing their wives and sons than other generals.

Soldiers are not stupid, they know who to follow has a future.If you are a general who has been defeated repeatedly, the soldiers under him will definitely not trust you.Don't you see Liu Bei, before he didn't have Zhuge Liang, which time didn't he suffer more defeats than wins?In the early days of his business, he had the largest number of soldiers, no more than tens of thousands, and it was when Xuzhou was occupied.After being chased away by Cao Cao, when he joined forces with Sun Wu to fight against Cao Cao, there were only more than 2 soldiers around him.It can be seen that a general who cannot win a battle, even the soldiers under him, do not trust him.

In fact, Lu Chenhuan's prediction was not wrong, this was a completely overwhelming victory.If the forbidden army of nearly 5 people can't even beat the mob's family private soldiers, it means that the military system has been corrupted to the point of hopelessness.And at that time, it will be the overthrow of a dynasty.

The forbidden soldiers who are good at running have already caught up with the fleeing private soldiers of the Wang family within the time for a cup of tea.The unarmed family soldiers can't even threaten these thick and thick guards.They were beaten so badly that they couldn't take care of themselves, and after crying out in pain, they begged for mercy loudly and would not run away again.

The complacent Forbidden Army escorted the "trophy" back the same way.Under the envious eyes of his colleagues, after reporting to the military document that recorded military achievements, he happily returned to the team, thinking about how many rewards he could get.

All of this seemed to be within Lu Chenhuan's expectation.It's just that the number of people captured greatly exceeded his expectations.Originally thought that there were only a thousand or so people, but unexpectedly there were more than [-] "bandits". According to the report of the imperial army, there seemed to be another two hundred "bandits" who ran away in the dark.

Lu Chenhuan was quite surprised in his heart, and secretly said: "How can such a small family support so many private soldiers? No wonder the little emperor is restless, so he has to send troops to exterminate them. Think about it, too. If it were me, I would also Get rid of these people and then quickly..."

Lu Chenhuan knew a lot about the inside story, but after thinking about it, he felt a little unbelievable: "Since there are so many salt taxes, and a single family can support so many soldiers, why did the little emperor abolish the official salt and taxes?" Salt tax?"

No matter how Lu Chenhuan thought about it, he couldn't figure it out. His thinking was still stuck in this era, so how could he understand Lu Chengqi's vision from later generations?Since the salt tax is only 500 million guan, it is like a chicken rib, and it is a pity to discard it if it is tasteless to eat, so it is simply to benefit the people.Lu Chenhuan was just a small infantry commander, how could he understand what the person sitting on the throne was thinking about?
Lu Chenhuan's thoughts just turned around in his mind, and then waved them away.The most important task right now is to take a rest.After all, after a high-intensity march and chasing for so long, even the Forbidden Army who has undergone more systematic training has reached its limit.In addition, they failed to catch all those "bandits" in one go, and as many as 200 people escaped, they must have reported to the Wang family.

With the rout of the soldiers who tipped off the news, the Wang family must have known the news of the defeat, and it seemed impossible to catch them by surprise.Who knows how many soldiers there are in the Wang family?

Lu Chenhuan weighed the bow and crossbow he was holding in his hand, and he was also a little worried.These bows and crossbows are almost all standard military equipment. Seeing that the bow strings are so brand new, they must not be used much.If the Wang family had thousands of crossbows like this, the threat to the imperial army would be quite great.

This time mixing seniority must be effortless, Lu Chenhuan doesn't think he will lose this time.But if too many soldiers are lost, it is a fly in the ointment.When discussing rewards for meritorious deeds, it is likely that the merits and demerits will be offset, so wouldn't it be a waste of time?

Out of such considerations, Lu Chenhuan did not rush on his way, but fought steadily, took a good rest, and then attacked.After all, Jinyang City is not far away, when is the past not the past?
After the imperial army tied up the captured royal private soldiers with hemp rope, they began to rest one by one.They have traveled so many days, it would be a lie to say that they are not tired.It is all supported by a belief in the desire to make contributions, and it has persisted until now.As a result, the military achievements were obtained, and these forbidden soldiers seemed to have lost their vigor and urgently needed to adjust their status.Otherwise, it will be a lot of fun if the boat capsizes in the gutter.

The Imperial Army had rested, but Lu Chenhuan and a group of mid-level and low-level generals were still having a meeting to discuss the gains and losses of this battle.This is the rule set by Lu Chengqi, and it is recorded by the accompanying military documents.If it is deceitful, if the Privy Council officer sees it, he will definitely find a loophole.When the time comes for the charge of "deceiving the emperor and his superiors", Fatty Lu will have to walk around!
Fatty Lu has never done stupid things. The rules set by the little emperor himself must be strictly followed.Fortunately, the little emperor didn't ask for how long such a meeting should take. It's just a formality, and everyone can say a few words.

After finishing all this, it was almost midnight.Fatty Lu yawned a few times, sat cross-legged on the spot, and regained his energy.At this time, there was loud snoring one after another, and except for some whistles and whistles, the imperial guards were all asleep.

But in Jinyang City, Wang Yuanshi stayed up all night!Wang Hu's horse was fast, and he was defeated in Jinyang City much earlier, and went straight to the palace without any hindrance.Wang Yuanshi was shocked when he got the news.When he saw Wang Hu who was covered in blood like a man, Wang Yuanshi panicked completely.
This time, he regretted that he didn't listen to Wang Yuanfeng's words, and wanted to fight against the imperial court with arrogance, but ended up with such consequences.After getting a doctor to apply Jinchuang medicine to Wang Hu, Wang Yuanshi returned to the study with a dull expression on his face, and held the candle until dawn without falling asleep.
