If you read too much, you may not understand all the principles of the world.

If you read less books, you may not be unreasonable.

Some truths are the simplest way of dealing with people. This truth is something that scholars don’t want to understand, but it really exists. It can even be said to be a truth that is directly linked to human nature.

Gambling is character.

Zhang Guozhu and Mao Delin were calm and relaxed at the gambling table, without shrinking their winnings, and without rushing to lose money. In Lu Si's opinion, this is the demeanor of a general, and you can use it boldly.

At the critical moment, these two people dared to fight to the death and survive.

On the contrary, if you win some money, you don’t want to make it out in your pocket, for fear of losing again. Such a person is conservative and unpromising. If you lose money, you will be jealous of your character. You will definitely be distracted when the war is unfavorable. Can such a person be of great use?

A small card table, a big truth.

The reorganization of the surrendered army has been carried out. Zhang Guozhu, Yu Shaoxun, Geng Shengong and others chose to mix their troops into the Huai Army; Huang Zhongse, Zhang Shiyi, Mao Delin, and Ma Sanbao chose their troops to form an independent army.

The reductions in both options will account for half of each.

Lu Si will further consider who can be used for great use and who cannot be used for great use. This bet tonight is an "interview" by Dashun Huaiyin Hou to his new subordinates.

Next, he went north to Shandong and Henan to test these new subordinates. Lu Si could not decide how many people would be eliminated and how many people would stay because he could not decide his own destiny. Chen Buping retreated and thought about it with the principle that the gambling goods mentioned by the Marquis of Huaiyin was the character.

In the tent, Gao Ying was still pressing and knocking on the marquis.

Gao Ying's pinching and tapping skills must be not very skilled. After all, he is not a professional person, but Lu Si is already asleep without realizing it.

Sleeping soundly.

This Dashun Huaiyin Marquis really has a bottom line, and is definitely not comparable to Liu Zeqing.

The next day, a vigorous "egg-hitting" competition was held in major military camps outside Xuzhou City. The officers and soldiers were very enthusiastic about participating in the competition, and there were crowds of people everywhere. When they knew each other, the first sentence they said was "Are you broken eggs?"

The very interesting competition made the barracks everywhere full of laughter. Along with the laughter, the alienation between the Huai Army and the surrendered soldiers was gradually brought closer, achieving the effect Lu Si wanted.

Sometimes, forcibly pulling a piece of military discipline and military power can't catch up with one game, so that both parties who are not familiar with can quickly get close to each other.

Lu Si thought that more such competitions would be carried out in the future, such as tug of war, races, football, etc., and even collective songs. Don’t look at these methods as simple as they are a bit rustic, but they are a great work that condenses the wisdom and experience of countless people.

What is discordant is that under the full-scale competition, several officers opened a secret shop privately, betting whether Zhang Jiudan wins or bastard wins.

The enthusiasm of the soldiers involved in gambling is even more exciting than hitting an egg. They often break their front feet and run to bet on others.

Chen Buping reminded the army that gambling was not good and wanted to ask the governor to order rectification.

"This summer, let everyone relax. This will be a remedial, and most of the brothers are unhappy."

Lu Siyi laughed it off and did not interfere, because this was also a manifestation of harmony between officers and soldiers, and last night, he, the leader of the Huai Army, opened his bets.

The "egg-hitting" competition carried out by the Huai Army outside the city attracted the Shun Army in the city. Many Shun Army officers and soldiers secretly ran to see it at first, but found that the "friendly army" was actually hitting the egg and could still bet. The news of "wow" spread throughout the city.

As a result, a large number of Shunjun also came to participate in the gambling, and some even took duck eggs from some unknown places, and asked the goose eggs if the Huaijun could participate in the competition.

The people below dared not make decisions, so they reported it. Lu Sida waved his hand: "As long as there is an egg, you can compare it and win the reward!"

After swinging, he asked Sun Wujin to secretly send eggs to the unpopular Shunjun. As a result, Sun Wujin, the kid, had his own pockets and sold them in large quantities at a price of three cents per egg, secretly selling them for more than three hundred taels.

In the lively and bustle, Xuzhou defense envoy Wu Su came over. When he knew that it was the Marquis of Huaiyin who ordered the "Egg Hit" competition, the former Ming Jinshi was really stunned, and then shook his head. Although he didn't say anything, he probably thought that Marquis of Huaiyin's move was a bit nonsense.

What kind of style does this play have become in the army?

Wu Sulai’s purpose was to explore Lu Si’s style for Dong Xueli.

The people of Manzhou entered the pass, and His Majesty Yongchang abandoned the capital and went west. Now the situation in the north has become very subtle.

Was Wu Sangui borrowed troops from Manzhou people to "punish the enemy", or did Manzhou people want to steal China?

If it were the former, with Li Zicheng's great defeat, Dashun's morale would definitely be affected. With the help of Manzhou soldiers, the Ming Dynasty might be able to revive.

If it is the latter, it would be even more difficult. Southerners may not have any feelings about the power of the Manchurian Tartars, but northerners know it.

Fighting the Ming army is one thing, fighting the Tartars is another. The former deputy general of Huamachi of the Ming Dynasty was afraid of the Tartars in his bones.

As the situation turns sharply, what impact will the sudden change in the north have on Xuzhou?

To put it bluntly, Dong Xueli wanted to ask what Lu Wenzong, who had much more soldiers than him, thoughts.

"We are not only a minister of great conscience, but also a Chinese. Even if Your Majesty has not issued an order to go north, we should go north to serve the king and fight for life and death with the Manzhou Tartars!"

Lu Si's attitude was decisive and asked Wu Su to go back and tell Dong Xueli to prepare for the whole army to go north.

Strictly speaking, Wu Su was actually a subordinate of Lu Si because he was the Xuzhou defense envoy, and Xuzhou was under the Southern Zhili in the Ming Dynasty and was nominally directly under the Nandu. However, the Huaiyang Governor's Yamen and the Huai'an Governor's Yamen had the power to "guid" Xuzhou.

Dashun appointed Liu Bao as the Huaiyangtonghui, indicating that Huaiyang is the provincial governor, and the former southern Zhili territory of Jiangbei must be transferred to Huaiyang Province. In this way, Wu Su, the Xuzhou defense envoy must be an official of the Huaiyang Jiedushi Lu Si.

Of course, Wu Su himself hoped that the Marquis of Huaiyin and Marquis of Dingnan could go north to serve the king, because the occupation of the capital by Manzhou people had a significant impact on the northern pattern of Dashun. Since he was already a minister of Dashun, he definitely did not want the mansion of Dashun to collapse overnight.

But after Wu Su went back and said Lu Si's meaning, Dong Xueli hesitated and refused to argue about going north to serve the king.

First, he said that his troops suffered too much loss and was afraid he was unable to go north. Then he said that he was short of food and wages, or that he could not act rashly without the central government's order. Anyway, there were many problems.

"Do Dong Xueli doesn't want to be the king with us, or do you want to be my Dashun Dingnan Marquis?"
