A grand military exercise is taking place in Lucheng. This is the first military exercise after the new General Sima Rui of Lucheng took office. Naturally, it attracted many soldiers, civilians, and businessmen to watch. The location of the military exercise is not in the usual place.

The school ground for the martial arts performance was chosen outside Lucheng City. Except for the tower in the middle, people were not prohibited from watching on all the city walls. Therefore, in the early morning, the entire wall was full of people. And outside the city,

It was even more crowded.

In the past, when General Feng was around, he was not used to these activities, so the people of Lucheng could not see such grand events.

Sima Rui was sitting on the central tower. Beside him, Wang Min, who had been waiting for nothing, was actually invited. But his expression was indeed not good. Now he was waiting in Lucheng to be watched.

When I live here, even when I go out for a walk, there are always several people following me in front of me and behind me, some in the open and some in the dark.

Wang Min regretted it extremely. Before General Feng left, he left him a sum of gold and silver. This money was used by him to win over his four sentry generals. General Feng must have thought of this when he left.

The problem is that each of the four sentry generals has their own difficulties. General Feng didn't give it to them himself. He gave himself the opportunity to win people's hearts, but he took things too simply.

He wanted to keep this money and use it in the future when he needed it more. Maybe one day, this money could be turned into war horses, swords and guns, and bows and arrows. He did not use them to win over Yao Meng.

Four people. Wang Min thought that the four of them were just like him. They had followed General Feng for so long. They were all tough men. How could they bend down for money? But the facts showed that he was wrong, very wrong.

As a result, the first battalion changed hands. Sima Rui seized this opportunity and took away the first battalion in one fell swoop. Looking at Yao Meng, Wang Zhuang, Ding Jian, and Qu Lu under the city, Wang Min was filled with pain and self-blame.

, he shouldn't use his own way to ask others. He doesn't blame these four people, he only blames himself.

Now Wang Zhuang and Ding Jian are leading the 3rd and 4th battalions. They only need to wait for the imperial court to issue the appointment certificate. The first battalion now belongs to Yao Meng. Qiao Zifang himself was the first person to join Sima Rui.

, Sima Rui has truly grasped Lucheng, and he has become a veritable idler.

The military exercise below has begun, and loud cheers from the citizens can be heard from time to time, but Wang Min has not paid attention to it at all. This army has nothing to do with him now.

"General Wang, General Wang!" Sima Rui was now very proud. Seeing that Wang Min was a little distracted, he greeted him proudly.

"Oh, General Sima!" Wang Min woke up from his self-blame and looked at Sima Rui's smiling face, "General Sima, what advice do you have?"

"What do you think of today's military exercise, General Wang? General Wang is a veteran of the frontier fortress, please give me some advice!" Sima Rui said.

"Very good, very good. Let's not talk about the first battalion. The second, third and fourth battalions are now completely transformed, which makes people very happy!" Although he was disappointed, as a veteran, Wang Min was still very happy to see Lu Cheng

The frontier army finally has some new atmosphere. The stronger the frontier army, the safer Lucheng will be, and the people in this city, including the countless people behind them, will of course be safer. As a frontier army general, he is indeed happy

.

Sima Rui was stunned. He originally thought that Wang Min was going to make a big statement, because after he removed Wang Zhuang, Ding Jian and other key members of the first battalion from the first battalion, the combat effectiveness of the first battalion had declined to a certain extent. Originally,

I thought Wang Min would seize this point to attack me, but I didn't expect that the other party had a public heart, so I underestimated this person.

"Yao Meng, Wang Zhuang, Ding Jian, and Qu Lu are all talented camp generals. Regarding their use, I am not afraid to say in front of General Wang that I have different views on General Feng. I will gather them all in the first camp."

In the first battalion, the super combat effectiveness of the first battalion was indeed guaranteed, but the other battalion heads were completely destroyed. One soldier was raging, and the generals were raging. Therefore, the former first battalion could provoke the other three with the power of one battalion.

Battalion, and won the battle, but now, it is different. Yes, the strength of the first battalion has declined, but the strength of the other three battalions has increased. If the current second, third and fourth battalions challenge the former first battalion,

, two battalions can be equal to the first battalion, and three battalions can completely wipe out the previous first battalion. This is a change. Now the strength of the Lucheng border army has been greatly improved." Sima Rui said: "General Wang, you

Do you agree with what I say?"

Wang Min could not raise objections to this point, but this was not because General Feng was incapable of leading troops, but because General Feng did not have such a strong backing and abundant resources as Sima Rui.

The 3rd and 4th battalions were about to be kicked away, so he could only let them rot. He could only try his best to ensure the combat effectiveness of the first battalion. In this regard, Sima Rui did a good job indeed.

"Not bad!" Wang Min nodded in agreement.

"General Wang has such a big heart, Sima Rui admires him!" Sima Rui said with a smile: "I thought you were going to refute it?"

"I am a soldier, why should I argue regardless of the facts? General Sima, I am most happy to see the strength of the border army. Congratulations!" Wang Min said solemnly.

Sima Rui cupped his hands and said: "Thank you very much. I am very happy to be praised by an old general like you. General Wang, if you are willing to join, I will welcome you with open arms."

Wang Min sighed and stood up: "I'm sorry, different ways don't work together. General Sima, the Lucheng border army is indeed stronger than before, but I only hope that you will use them on the right path instead of those evil things.

"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. Although Wang Min is trapped at home, he doesn't know everything."

Sima Rui's expression changed. Looking at Wang Min walking away, a murderous look flashed across his face. Wang Min's words were very straightforward, but how much did he know?

The martial arts performance lasted all morning and did not end until noon. Looking at the more than 10,000 troops gathered under the city, Sima Ruiyu hesitated

Satisfied, this is an army that truly belongs to him and will be the foundation of his career.

In the evening, the main generals of the Lucheng border army gathered at General Sima Rui's house to celebrate the success of the military exercise. Sima Rui took off his military uniform, put on civilian clothes, held a wine glass, and toasted to the generals under his command one by one, with a full face.

smile.

Qu Lu was a little disappointed. The four sentry generals of the first battalion had now become camp generals, but he was the only one who was still in the same place. He looked at the complacent Yao Meng, Wang Zhuang, Ding Jian, and the one he had always looked at.

Qu Lu felt very unhappy when Qiao Zifang failed.

"General Qu!" A voice rang in his ears. Qu Lu looked up and saw Sima Rui standing in front of him with a smile on his face. He stood up hurriedly, "General Sima."

"Sit down!" Sima Rui said with a smile: "Why, seeing you drinking several glasses of wine by yourself doesn't make you feel happy?"

"There, I don't dare!" Qu Lu shook his head repeatedly.

"I understand what you are thinking." Sima Rui patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be anxious, I have arrangements."

"Thank you, General Sima!" Qu Lu cupped his hand and said with a forced smile. The Lucheng border army only had four battalions in total. Now that the four battalion commanders are in place, he will definitely fall behind.

"The Lucheng border army will have a fifth battalion soon!" Sima Rui picked up the wine glass and raised it towards Qu Lu, "You will be the general of the fifth battalion!"

Qu Lu was startled, then overjoyed, and then said doubtfully: "General, the Lucheng border army only has four battalions. Expanding the army without the permission of the military department is a taboo and violation of regulations and will be subject to military law."

Sima Rui laughed and said, "General Qu, you can't be so naive. Since I said there is a fifth battalion, there must be a fifth battalion, because it is not that I want it, but that someone wants it, and this person

, the military headquarters cannot touch him, and even some people in the military headquarters want to please him."

Qu Lu immediately understood who that person was.

"Thank you, General!" Qu Lu raised his wine glass cheerfully, and the two of them bumped into each other heavily.
Chapter completed!
