Finest Servant

Seeing that General Lin was angry, Hu Bugui and others were very imposing, and they were a little nervous in their hearts, and they were all silent and did not dare to speak.

Speaking of this art of war, although Lin Wanrong is not proficient, there is a truth that can be applied everywhere - if you can be a general and win a battle by memorizing a few art of war, then the people who have read the book of war in the world will not be Are they all victorious generals?

Du Xiuyuan was the only one who passed the exam. Lin Wanrong calmed down and asked, "Brother Du, what do you think of this art of war exam?"

Du Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "Combining the art of war with actual combat has practical significance. Although the style of this inspection is novel, it is based on script, and it is not flexible enough. You only need to memorize the words in the military book to pass. Brother Hu and others Years of war, rich experience in actual combat, put forward a variety of assumptions on the topic, which is very different from the military book, so I was judged to be unqualified."

Lin Wanrong nodded without speaking, staring into the distance, silently thinking about something.

A little white horse came from a distance. It turned out to be Li Wuling and came back. He had walked so far this time that he had passed through the entire training ground. His head and body were covered with dust and yellow sand, but his expression was Eyebrows danced, excited.

"Little plum, why are you so happy?" Lin Wanrong asked with a smile.

Li Wuling held on to the saddle, jumped down with a small body, and said with a grin, "Lin San, I just told my grandfather that he authorized me to participate in this military drill. However, Brother Hu and Brother Li, you guys. Well, we'll have to wait-"

Lin Wanrong looked suspiciously at Hu Bugui and the others behind him, and Du Xiuyuan said with a smile: "That's what happened, we were excluded from the military exercises for a few days, and I was really depressed, and was about to complain to General Lin, but Suddenly this kid stopped me."

"Oh, what did he stop you from?" Seeing Li Wuling's head and head, his pitch-black eyes rolled around, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but love him, and asked, patting Xiao Lizi's head.

Hu Bugui said carelessly: "What else can I do? This kid is bragging. He said that as long as you bring you General Lin, he will have a way for us to participate in this exercise, but now General Lin is here. This kid agreed. thing, but there is no trace of it.”

*, I can let you participate in the exercise? Lao Tzu is not the emperor. Once the mouth is open, anything can be done. It's too mysterious for this little plum to brag.

Several people looked at Li Wuling eagerly, and were deeply dissatisfied with his untrustworthiness. Li Wuling smiled smugly and said, "What are you worried about, this is just the beginning of the military exercise, there are opportunities. Look, can't I participate? You wait for a while, and naturally someone will invite you to participate. Hehe. , then if my promise is fulfilled, all of you have promised me, and the young master will not go anywhere else.

Find the largest yard in Bada Hutong, pick some of the best looking fans, and wait for the young master to drink. "

Hu Bugui, Xu Zhen and the others all snorted disdainfully, no longer believing his words. Lin Wanrong chuckled, looking for fans in the Bada Hutongs, this kid has a big tone, I'm afraid that if you go, it will be difficult for you to be a little boy. However, Li Wuling is a young man after being Zhongliang, and he has a bold and lovely personality, which is really cute.

Several people took what Li Wuling said was a joke, and didn't take it seriously. Seeing that the battle was on the battlefield, they suddenly heard the sound of hooves. Looking around, a few fast horses passed through the long training. Yellow sand, crossing the step camp phalanx, is running towards this side.

Hu Bugui was most impatient, glanced at it, and immediately said excitedly: "It's General Li Tai here."

On the horse in front sat a mighty and majestic old general, with a bronze helmet and iron armor, holding a long spear, and galloping toward this place. It was Li Taida who scolded Lin Wanrong that day. general.

What is this old man doing? Didn't I break up with him? Seeing the smug smile on Li Wuling's face next to him, Lin Wanrong was deeply puzzled.

Li Tai was accompanied by a handsome white horse. A female knight was sitting on the back of the horse. She was wearing a white gauze mask and could not see her face clearly, but her figure was very graceful. The fast horse followed behind Li Tai. , The riding skills are not weak, but the white gauze has been covered with a thick layer of dust.

"Kid Lin San, I have seen General Li. Old General, stay safe." Seeing Li Tai dismount, Lin Wanrong smiled and greeted him.

Li Tai glanced at him and snorted solemnly: "On the battlefield, military discipline is serious, and you must not make noise. You are giggling like this, what a formality, how can you still look like a sergeant." Countless majesty and imposing manners, his complexion is even more shocking.

I am no longer a soldier, old man, Lin Wanrong cried out inwardly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. This old general Li is probably used to commanding the army. When he sees a person, he will treat him with the requirements of his soldiers. Lin Wanrong was full of words, but he respected this hard-hearted generation of famous generals from the bottom of his heart. After being reprimanded by him, he nodded honestly and said yes, without refuting, watching Hu Bugui and others secretly amazed. One thing is born and one thing is born, General Lin, who is not afraid of the sky, even Lord Xu Wei can't stop him, but he is so well-behaved in front of General Li.

"I've seen the general." Hu Bugui and the others were all generals under Li Tai's command. When they met the commander, they didn't dare to be as casual as Lin Wanrong, so they clasped their fists and shouted respectfully.

Li Taiwei nodded his head and pressed the saber in his hand, but his eyes fell on Lin Wanrong and said: "Lin San, I heard that you took the initiative to ask Ying to participate in this battlefield military exercise, right or not?"

What? Lin Wanrong's mouth opened wide, *, when did I say it, I have never seen me dressed so casually, participating in any military exercise, you can play with me.

Hu Bugui and others were stunned for a moment, and then Qi Qi looked at Lin Wanrong with joy. It turned out that General Lin was hiding this trick. Good guy, he was really calm and calm, but he didn't see any flaws.

"Old General, when did I say it? Did you hear it wrong?" Lin Wanrong exclaimed anxiously.

Li Tai said solemnly: "Nonsense, how could the old man have heard it wrong. It was Wuling who reported in person that you were willing to lead the army to participate in the military exercise. Come to a practical exercise. I came here in a hurry. Do you regret it? But in the army, there is absolutely no joke.”

Lin Wanrong gave Li Wuling a horrified look, but saw that the kid looked triumphantly at Hu Bugui, and the expression on his face was as high as possible.

Du Xiuyuan and the others finally knew Li Wuling's intentions for General Lin. This trick to drive ducks onto the shelves and urge the sows to climb trees is really wonderful. Little Li has such a clever strategy at a young age. Son, well-deserved reputation.

Lin Wanrong glared at Li Wuling. No wonder this little plum said that as long as I came, he would have a way to get Hu Bugui and others to participate in the drill. It turned out to be using me as bait.

Li Tai saw that he was hesitant. Then he said loudly: "You can miss the country for a moment in the army. Lin San, tell me how you decided?" He was full of majesty. He deliberately put pressure on Lin San to force him to submit.

Damn, there is no preparation at all, just come to a practical exercise. Doesn't this make it clear to me? Seeing the pleading eyes of Hu Bugui and others, Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth. Damn it, isn't it just an exercise? My third brother Lin was afraid of who would come. A ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and he hummed, "Okay, I'll come."

There was a smile in Li Tai's eyes, but he hid it in time, and said to the woman who was following him, "Girl Zhiqing, how are the two of them assigned? Tell me."

Zhiqing girl? I*, no wonder it looks familiar, it turns out it's girl Xu, the sample, I don't know you with a veil and a vest? He smiled and clasped his fists and said, "It turned out to be Miss Xu, tsk tsk, I didn't see it, you don't show your face, it's better than showing your face."

"Nonsense." Li Wuling retorted: "Aunt Xu is a hundred times better looking than not showing her face." He spoke sincerity, but before he realized that he had been fooled by Lin San, Hu Bugui and the others tried their best to hold back their laughter. It's time to report in the present world, this little Lizi had just plotted against General Lin, and he was beaten back by him in a blink of an eye.

This person's words are full of organs, Xu Zhiqing snorted and smiled: "Today's military exercise, the wind and sand are big, and the little girl's physique is weak, so she covers her face, General Lin, don't be surprised. Although you asked to join, this is the battlefield. You can't mobilize your troops and horses, you can choose the rest."

Hu Bugui and the others immediately grinded their fists and laughed, their gratitude to Li Wuling was beyond words, and the matter of inviting him to visit the Eight Hutongs was settled. Li Wuling also stared at Lin Wanrong eagerly. He was a non-staff and only General Lin nodded his head in order to be a pawn.

Lin Wanrong sighed slightly and said with a bitter face: "The elite generals who are proficient in the art of war have been picked up by the assistant general, so I have to choose these self-taught generals, alas, it's really unfair. Oh, by the way. , Miss Xu, have you watched the mid-military exam held by the assistant general, Miss Xu?"

Xu Zhiqing shook her head slightly and said, "I only found out yesterday, so I glanced at it."

Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "I wonder what the result will be if Miss Xu takes the test?"

Xu Zhiqing said to herself, "I have read the book on the Art of War, both Sun Tzu and Liu Tao. If this is a proposition, Zhiqing is confident that no one can be stumped."

Lin Wanrong gave a thumbs up and said, "Cow! In this way, Miss Xu has read military books and is knowledgeable, so she is naturally the number one general in the world when it comes to fighting." [Heaven's Kiss]

Xu Zhiqing is extremely smart, how could she not know his thoughts, she said with a smile: "The book of the art of war is created in actual combat and transformed into books. It is the hard work of the ancestors, and it has great reference value." She paused slightly: " However, as the times change and the environment changes, the art of warfare must also be adjusted and changed accordingly, so we must not blindly believe in books and follow the script.”

As soon as these words were said, Hu Bugui and the others suddenly felt comfortable. Li Tai is a veteran coach who has experienced battles, and he has no need to say about the use of the art of war. He glanced at Lin Wanrong and said with a deep meaning: "Lin San, as you see it, what is the relationship between this art of war and actual combat? ?"

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "The art of war is the crystallization of the wisdom and wisdom left by our ancestors. It is extremely valuable and it is also the best model for us younger generations to learn. It is true that we should learn the art of war, but the method of learning is very different. He is an esoteric theory of reading, taking the top-ranking exam, and writing Bagu. Soldiers and tricks, the time has changed, the location has changed, and the method of warfare has to change accordingly. It can be said that there has never been a wrong method of warfare in this world. It's just that some people used it at the wrong time. To put it simply, it's like reading and literacy, everyone can read and write. But if you want to make the eternal quatrains, then there are not many people who do it. People can learn, and when it comes to exams, they must all get full marks, but how many people have become famous generals throughout the ages? Therefore, the art of war is only a foundation, which can be studied in depth, but cannot be judged by right or wrong. Integrate into actual combat, learn while fighting, and learn while fighting. Only when it is fully integrated can it be truly invincible.”

Li Tai stroked his beard and nodded, a glimmer of admiration flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly wiped away, and the solemn expression returned to his face: "This art of war exam is for the generals in my account to select generals for military exercises. Specially held. This exercise is mainly about him, and the commander will not intervene. It’s useless to talk about it, it’s all lip service. This is an actual military exercise, if you have the ability, you will defeat him on the battlefield.”

****************

Since the beginning, he can't back down. Lin Wanrong doesn't know who will be assisting Li Tai, and it is close to actual combat. This is a series of encounters. Lin Wanrong's heart is pounding, but he is also more. feel stimulating.

Hu Bugui and others had already quickly retreated to change their armor. Li Tai glanced at Lin Wanrong with a hint of hope in his eyes and said, "Lin San, if you fight hard in this battle, it will benefit you."

Although Li Tai didn't say a few words to him, every time he looked serious and unsmiling, it was rare to see such kindness in front of him.

Lin Wanrong shook his head, his face lightly said: "I don't want any benefits or anything - don't believe me, I, Lin San, rarely have a time when I'm not greedy for cheap, but if I really say it, I will definitely do it. General, let me tell you the truth, I, Lin, have no ambitions and go with the flow, but when I encounter difficulties, I never get down. The reason I got into this today is that I don't want to look at Brother Hu and Brother Li. If they are buried, they are all brave and resourceful iron-blooded men, and they have the ambition to serve the country, if they are buried, no matter how much money I make, Lin San, and how many wives I marry, I will feel uneasy."

Xu Zhiqing heard it in her ears, but she was a little moved and a little funny. I don't know how this person developed his skills. He is obviously a moving rhetoric, but he always makes people angry at the last sentence.

Li Tai has experienced wind and frost, and he has already trained his eyes to see people. Seeing his expression, he finally showed a smile: Xu Wei is right, this Lin San is an outside ruffian, and his heart is hot. Stripped of his messy, bells and whistles, he was a bloody hero.

Li Tai smiled and said: "You brat, do you think I'm an old fool? Who is gold and who is sand, the old man can see clearly, you can rest assured. Today I ask you to fight a good battle and show more. It's good for you, of course."

"What's the benefit? Ten thousand taels of silver?" Lin San habitually had a sly smile on his face after sending out a bloody riot. Xu Zhiqing shook her head as she saw that Lin San must have been possessed by his soul. , this is the real thing.

Although Li Tai was stern, he was happy when he heard his words. This kid really has a personality.

"What silver?" Li Tai said with a straight face: "It's much more important than silver. Look, what is that—"

The old general pointed at a distance, and Lin Wanrong looked in the direction of his finger, but saw that the farthest city wall where the attack was being drilled was full of swirling yellow flags. animal.

"What a big snake!" Lin Wanrong exclaimed.

When everyone heard what he said, they were stunned and speechless. Hu Bugui and the others looked at each other in horror, General Lin didn't have his brain burned out. Xu Zhiqing clenched a small fist in her hand, her face flushed red, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she tried her best to hold back her smile.

Even Li Tai, who was extremely calm, had blue veins bursting out on his forehead, cold sweat dripping down, and his voice trembled: "Lin San, what are you talking about?"

"What a big golden snake." Lin Wanrong nodded and said firmly.

"It's over, I can't win this battle today." Li Wuling said in a dejected manner, if such a coach could win, it would be unreasonable.

"People, you can't be ignorant to this point." Li Tai exclaimed: "This old man has lived for a year and can recognize a golden dragon as a golden snake. Lin San, you are the number one person at home and abroad."

Golden Dragon? Lin Wanrong was taken aback, and then he looked closely, but it turned out that the flag was fluttering in the wind, and the folds hid the dragon's claws in the corners. If you didn't look carefully, it was a big snake.

Lao Tzu is ignorant enough, Lin Wanrong wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, the golden dragon flag appeared, and the person who came up from the tower was not—"Emperor?" Lin Wanrong was startled, but jumped up and shouted loudly.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief. Finally, this child is not stupid yet. Knowing that this golden dragon is the symbol of the emperor's family, I hope he will not recognize it as "a big snake" next time.

Lin Wanrong's heart skipped a beat, if it was the emperor who came, wouldn't there be an 80% chance that it was my husband?

As the golden dragon flag fluttered, a chariot was raised above the tower, and countless guards and followers surrounded the chariots. The soldiers who were training on the battlefield, whether they were standing, running, lying down, or crawling, all stood up and bowed, and then tens of thousands of people knelt down and kowtowed: "Kow to the emperor. Long live my emperor, Long live, long live."

Tens of thousands of people knelt down and shouted long live, tsk tsk, I have never seen this scene before. Lin Wanrong stood by the saddle, and while others were kowtowing to the emperor, he opened his eyes wide to look at the emperor on the dragon chair. The two sides were far apart, and I could only vaguely see a figure wearing a crown of Yishan and a golden dragon robe, but I couldn't see his face, nor did he know what the emperor's father-in-law looked like, whether he looked like Qingxuan.

I was dreaming a beautiful dream in my heart, but when they saw Li Tai and Xu Zhiqing who were kneeling, they all stood up, thinking that it was the emperor who shouted to be flat. Lin Wanrong pretended to pat the dust on her lap, Xu Zhiqing raised her head, although her face was covered in a veil, her eyes showed a smile that was not a smile, as if she had seen something.

"Now you are clear." Li Tai nodded to Lin Wanrong: "As long as you perform well today and let the emperor remember you, your future will be limitless."

Lin Wanrong remembered what she said to Xu Wei a few days ago, to enter the palace to find Qingxuan, there is no other way, only when the emperor opens his mouth. I was worrying about how to see the emperor. I didn't expect to encounter such an opportunity by mistake today. It's really better to choose a day than to hit the sun. For Qingxuan, today's battle is a must.

Li Tai rushed to see the driver, and Xu Zhiqing arranged the rest. Xu Zhiqing is a scholar of heaven and man. She has fought against the Hu people on the battlefield several times. She is a real heroine.

"Ms. Xu, how are we going to fight this battle today? Are there any constraints?" Lin Wanrong asked seriously. His current mood has changed from wanting me to fight to I want to fight, and his words are less naughty and more serious.

"There are 1,000 people on both sides, and the three rounds are limited. Everything is close to the actual combat, regardless of the means, regardless of the strategy, only the result." Xu Zhiqing said lightly with a calm light in her eyes.

Hu Bugui and the others had already changed their armors, and the majestic troops and horses rushed over. Lin Wanrong nodded, close to the actual combat, regardless of the means, these two points are very good, and this is the battle.

In the face of thousands of strong soldiers, Lin Wanrong was sincerely pleased, all of them were as strong as calves, and Lao Hu and Lao Du had trained Laozi's soldiers well. Most of them were familiar faces, all of them were veterans who followed him to fight in Shandong, and many of them were elites who had survived the bloody night when they killed the first warrior of Bailian. There was no problem with their loyalty and combat power.

Lin Wanrong slightly bent his palm a few times, and a faint excitement appeared in his heart. He calmed down his mood. Facing the life and death brothers, he didn't need any extra words. He smiled slightly: "My name is Lin San, has anyone forgotten me?"

Thousands of soldiers let out a burst of kind laughter. The non-brand food and grass soldiers of the day have already become the elite of the elite. Seeing the humorous but brave and tenacious General Lin standing in front of them again, many people suddenly remembered the life and death of the past. In the situation of sharing weal and woe, there were faint tears in his eyes.

Lin Wanrong waved his hand and said casually, "Are you ready?"

"Kill—" Thousands of soldiers let out a neat and powerful cry together, which shocked the world a bit.
