Early the next morning, Xiao Wang came to pay homage to Lu Chen and asked the servants in the mansion to attract him. Lu Chen met him in the living room. Xiao Wang was still wearing a worn-out armor and carrying a wooden long sword on his back.

After the other party gave a salute, Lu Chen couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xiao Wang, the wooden sword on your back seems to be extremely important to you?"

Xiao Wang nodded first, then shook his head and said, "Sir, I am the one who joins the army and is a sword hanging on my waist. Although this sword is made of wooden, it is a symbol. It can remind me of my ambition at any time!"

"So that's it." Lu Chen nodded suddenly and said, "I look at your words and deeds, and it seems that I have some unique views on the border town. I don't know if I can tell me." As he said that, he saw Xiao Wang bent over and stood there slightly restrainedly. Lu Chen waved his hand to signal him to sit down.

After receiving Lu Chen's instructions, Xiao Wang sat down and bowed to thank the gifts, then said: "Sir, people all think that the disaster in the border city is all caused by the harassment of the barbarians, that is, external troubles; but subordinates think that external troubles are actually second, and the most important thing is internal troubles."

"Oh?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, brought the tea brought by the servant and took a sip, signaling Xiao Wang to continue speaking.

Xiao Wang did not continue to speak, but suddenly changed his tone and asked tentatively: "Before this, please forgive me for my courage to ask you, I wonder what your ambition is?"

When Lu Chen heard this, his hand holding the teacup stuttered slightly, then stared at Xiao Wang and said playfully: "What? What do you mean is that if I don't answer this question, then you won't tell me what you think of the border town, right?"

His words were obviously threatening. After hearing this, Xiao Wang hurriedly stood up from the chair, knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said, "I don't dare. I'm asking, so I'm naturally telling everything, but..."

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused. Although the movements on his face were very frightened, his tone was extremely calm and calm, and he seemed not at all panic.

Lu Chen understood what he meant, waved his hand and said, "Get up first, don't give great gifts at any time." To be honest, although Lu Chen has integrated into the new identity of county guard and accepted all the information of this era, he is still a modern person, with enlightened ideas, and is still quite difficult to accept the red tape of this era and some regular things for a while.

"Sir Xie." Xiao Wang said, and sat back on the chair again.

But no matter how Lu Chen looked, he felt that Xiao Wang was sitting upright. He smiled bitterly and understood that in this era, it was the upper and lower, and the thoughts between Xiao Wang and him were essentially different. He didn't say much, put down the teacup and said, "I can tell you the truth. I came here to expel the barbarian soldiers, defend the villagers in the border town, and give me a peaceful and stable border!"

As he said that, he glanced at Xiao Wang and said, "You can't believe what I said, but I can also tell you clearly that I don't know what the previous county magistrates did, and I don't want to know. But if I have my official here one day, I will never let the barbarians plunder it anymore! Even if there is! I have to step on the bodies of countless soldiers and the corpses of my official!"

His passionate remarks made Xiao Wang's eyes lit up. The latter slid immediately, then knelt down from the chair, and said excitedly: "I will thank you for the 170,000 people in Biancheng County!"

My God! Why do people in this era like to show great gifts so much? Lu Chen was speechless, but he didn't know how shock he had brought to Xiao Wang, or in other words, anyone who wanted to make a difference in the border army would not have known how long he had been looking forward to such words.

In the past, Xiao Wang could not even dream about county magistrates like Lu Chen. He was not a simple-minded warrior like Zhao Chuan. Although he was very excited about Lu Chen's performance yesterday, he also wanted to figure out whether this new county magistrate really wanted to make some achievements in the border town.

At this time, Lu Chen's performance shocked him, and at the same time he decided to express all his thoughts in his heart. He said: "Sir, the internal worries of the border town can be divided into three points. First, our defenders must obtain the support of the county. Although the Wuguan garrison is not in the county army, the nature of the county garrison is different from other county towns, but the county head is still the head of the adults, and the county also has the responsibility and obligation to provide military supplies and military supplies for Wuguan. Therefore, the first point is that the adults must communicate with the county. It is important to know that fighting is money, the border town is bitter and cold, and there is no tax at all. Without the support of the county, I will not be able to fight against the barbarians at all..."

Even Lu Chen, a modern person, understands this, so the first thing he did when he came to this world was to go to the county to get equipment. However, these small soldiers of Xiao Wang did not know about it now. Lu Chen did not explain and said, "What about these two and the third ones, you continue to talk about it."

Xiao Wang didn't tell the truth, and then said, "The second is the morale of the army. If the morale of the army is unstable, then even if there is a good equipment, no matter how much money and food, the army raised will be a group of mobs and will not be able to fight against the barbarians at all, let alone defeat the barbarians. Although we have 30,000 defenders, except for the soldiers under General Zhao Chuan of the First Corps, there is still some bloodiness, the soldiers of the other two corps have been beaten by the barbarians. It is okay to let them bully ordinary people. If they really want them to go to the battlefield, they will only become fish and meat that can be slaughtered. My subordinates think that in fact, the barbarian soldiers are not as terrible as everyone imagines. Although the barbarian soldiers are fierce, they are still humans after all. I also believe that with the ability of my master, as long as our army's morale is condensed, then my strong general will not be much worse than the barbarians..."

Lu Chen thought something and signaled him to continue talking.

"The third is the heart of the people. Let me ask you, if our defenders fight against the barbarians, if even the people do not support or are not optimistic about it, then who will the soldiers fight for? Will they still be willing to sacrifice their lives and shed their blood? In other words, if the people in the city support our soldiers and worship and trust them like heroes, then the subordinates believe that the soldiers also have the determination and belief to fight to the end! And now, in the eyes of the people in the county, the border army is almost like a bandit or a bully. If they do not govern, the people will regard us as the "barbarian soldiers" within the city gate. In this way, the people will lose all their hearts..." (To be continued)
