Madam, She Has a Tender Heart - Chapter 467
Chapter 467 Dad’s words don’t count
“How about I wait for another two years before dad can replenish your troops?” Lu Bocheng said with a deliberation tone.
But the two sons didn’t buy it: “Dad, how could you be so shameless!”
Dabao also said: “Father, the general has made a promise, and it is hard to catch up. It was you who told me and my brother that after this battle is over, it will be up to us to replenish our troops. My brother and I have worked so hard, but you made a mistake again. “
“Yes, Dad, you are a general, how could you lie to a child!”
When Lu Bocheng heard this, he chuckled.
Dabao glared at Xiaobao when he heard this.
What are you talking about, a child! Once Dad heard this, he would not replenish their troops.
Xiaobao reacted and took his father’s arm, begging and rubbing it.
Lu Bocheng had a severe headache.
“A hundred people make one capital, and you two are both young captains now. Do you think there is such a young captain in the army?”
“That’s because my brother and I are better than them!” Xiaobao felt quite proud.
Who is like him who learned boxing at the age of three or four? While other children were playing, he was squatting, okay?
Dabao looked at Lu Bocheng’s face and didn’t think it would be too difficult for him. After thinking about it, he said, “Dad, why don’t you let the generals pick first, and my brother and I will pick the rest?”
Xiaobao was dissatisfied and looked at his brother with his lips pouted. Why would he pick up what others left behind?
Dabao winked at him, saying otherwise, there wouldn’t even be any leftovers left by others. Xiaobao also understood. All right. What others pick out is better than nothing.
He nodded to Lu Bocheng: “Okay, dad, let them pick first, and my brother and I will pick the rest. This time, my brother and I will pick four more cities. Five cities will form one battalion. No matter what, I have to be a battalion commander. Okay.”
“You still want to be the battalion commander? Tsk tsk.” Lu Bocheng smacked his lips at his youngest son. Although he is young, he has great ambitions.
Xiaobao is very dissatisfied with his father. What is his father’s expression like? He can’t be the battalion commander?
But he didn’t dare to go against his father, and he was also afraid that it would be difficult for him to do so.
Finally, the generals replenished their troops, and the brothers did not dislike the remaining old and weak troops, so they all took them under their command.
Replenish troops first, and then train combat capabilities. Someone has to come first, and nothing can be done without anyone.
There are people who can train troops. Once the soldiers are brought out, they will have more possibilities.
The two brothers expanded their troops to the strength of the three capitals. Although it was less than a battalion, they were still satisfied.
Lu Bocheng watched his two sons holding their subordinates every day, and the old and weak soldiers who were picked out by other generals to go out for training. He took a group of generals and subordinates to watch the fun with great interest.
Seeing that it was dark every day, my two sons took them to train. In the evening, other camps had finished training, but they were still practicing.
The two sons are like children who get a new toy and are reluctant to let it go. They are very active.
Lu Bocheng simply couldn’t laugh or cry.
“You are not satisfied yet. Look at how young your two sons are, they are already learning to train soldiers, and they are still decent. In just a few days, all the subordinates have learned to obey orders. I believe it won’t be long before these two boys can Conquered the hearts of the people. As time goes by, the young will be better than the old, and our navy will have two more tiger generals.”
“That’s right, General, you are not satisfied yet. Why isn’t this my son? It makes me jealous.”
Several generals stood beside Lu Bocheng, watching with him Dabao Xiaobao training a group of subordinates. Although the methods are a bit immature, they are impressive.
Of course Lu Bocheng is happy in his heart, but can he show it?
cannot.
Only when he showed more disdain for his two sons, the other generals could not see it and were willing to protect them.
After Caozhou was captured, Lu Bocheng and all his men breathed a sigh of relief.
Ignoring the fact that the war between Liang and Jin was already in full swing around Wei Bo, the fighting was so fierce that many forces were secretly planning to do something, but Lu Bocheng had no intention of participating.
But he took advantage of the main forces of Jin and Liang to fight around Weibo, and decided to lead his army to capture the cities around Xuzhou to clear the way for Xuzhou. The 30,000 soldiers who surrendered to Wei Bo performed outstandingly in the battle of Caozhou and gained Lu Bocheng’s trust.
Seeing that Wu State was taking advantage of the fighting between Jin and Liang Dynasties to quietly move north, Lu Bocheng immediately made a decision and sent Lu Qi with 30,000 troops to attack Songzhou surrounding Wu State.
Songzhou is to the east of Wu State and adjacent to Xuzhou to the west. Taking advantage of most of Wu’s troops to move north, we can capture Songzhou first.
He himself led troops to attack Jezhou, another Zhou city next to Xuzhou.
In this way, Xuzhou is surrounded by the three states of Cao, Song, and Ji. Xuzhou, which is the center of Zhenhai, is safe and sound.
Fast news spread frequently in the front, and the three states of Cao, Song, and Ji were successively included in the Zhenhai navy.
The big news of the victory was posted on the notice wall outside the Xuzhou Yamen. The people of Xuzhou gathered around to watch it. They listened to the officers reading the text on the notice and talking about the news of the great victory ahead. The people heard the shouts.
“Mighty the navy!”
“Jiedushi makes you mighty!”
Pei Shi stood at the entrance of the Yamen, looking at the crowds of people coming to watch, twirling his beard, feeling as if he had drunk honey.
At present, all the vassal towns around Weibo have been captured by the Jin army, and the Liang army has returned to the Central Plains. The Jin army crossed the Yellow River and began its southward expedition.
I heard that your Excellency is ready to lead troops back to Xuzhou.
This is good. He was originally worried that he would lead a large army and get involved in the battle between Jin and Liang for the imperial power of the Central Plains. Hearing that Wu State had been involved in it, Pei Shi was actually sweating.
Now I heard that your Excellency was about to lead his troops back, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Whoever wants to sit on the throne of the Central Plains, let them sit.
Conquering one area in Zhenhai and developing the other is currently the best strategy. Don’t be impatient.
Just as Pei Shi was about to turn around and enter the Yamen, he saw Wu Xiu also in the crowd, followed by two men, talking to each other like aides. Pei Shi frowned.
Seeing that Wu Xiu didn’t see him, Pei Shi ignored him and turned around and entered the Yamen.
Now that Caozhou, Jizhou, and Songzhou have been won, he still needs to check the evaluation, appointment and removal of officials in the three cities, and he cannot be ignored. He was very busy and had no time to deal with old matters from the past.
Su Qingyu was looking through the account books of the seafood workshop brought back by Xiang Shang.
It has only been open for a few months, and the goods sold every month are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Su Qingyu was very pleased. I heard that the Haizhou governor also reported to Pei Shi that the Haizhou Yamen’s warehouse finally saw money. He was so happy that the Haizhou governor couldn’t wait to visit the warehouse every day.
“Very good, the growth momentum is quite strong.”
Xiang Shang nodded: “Master Qingyang built a pier in the sea area of Leshan Village. It was originally just for fishing boats from nearby villages to dock, but now there are not enough berths, so the pier has been expanded several times. Now the wasteland in Leshan Village is being sold at a high price. I bought it and planned to use it to build a workshop and warehouse.”
“Isn’t Village Chief Zou very happy?”
“No, Village Chief Zou is happy every day. He is surrounded by a bunch of people and compliments, and he has gained weight again. Now every family in Leshan Village has bought a fishing boat, and every family has hired small workers. Chief Leshan Village The first time he saw me return to Xuzhou, he forced me to bring a lot of overseas goods to my wife. “
“Village Chief Zou is very interested. Please help me thank him next time you see him.”
“yes.”
Su Qingyu looked at the income from the workshop and shop and felt satisfied.
