Ge Yongquan accompanied Lu Fang and said with a smile: "The Commander-in-Chief of the Capital knew that His Highness led the rebels on a long journey and was physically exhausted, so he specifically asked the cooks among my generals to bring many here, and also specially bought them from farmers.
We bought more than a dozen pigs to replenish the strength of the rebel brothers."
This statement sounds a bit like asking for credit. It was Guo Tianming who explained the matter, but he was the one who implemented it.
It was also difficult for him.
Lu Fang thought to himself.
This Ge Yongquan is already in his forties, but the Ge surname is not a prominent family in Chengdu County. This Ge Yongquan's background and his father-in-law's family are relatively ordinary. It is not easy to get involved in the Yongkang Army. Fortunately, he is astute and has the ability to train troops.
It's quite good, otherwise, I'm afraid it would be difficult to even climb to this position.
"Master Guo is very thoughtful, and thank you General Ge for your hard work."
Lu Fangdao.
Ge Yongquan quickly handed over his hand and expressed his position: "Serving for His Highness is a blessing for the general, and the general will not be worthy of it!"
Lu Fang only nodded slightly.
Then he asked Ge Yongquan to take him to the dormitory of Yang Gang and others.
As soon as I walked outside, I heard snoring inside.
These guys are really exhausted.
Even a sixth-grade martial artist like Yang Gang was exhausted.
But Lu Fang always believes in one sentence: potential can only be squeezed out.
When he walked into Yang Gang's dormitory, he was hit by the strong smell of sweat and feet at the same time as the snoring.
These guys didn't even bother to take a shower and just lay on the bed.
Even a veteran like Ge Yongquan couldn't help but cover his nose. Then when he saw that Lu Fang didn't cover his nose, he put his hand down a little embarrassedly.
Lao Wang, Lao Deng and the others didn't even enter the room.
Lu Fang did not wake up Yang Gang and others. He only looked at the sky outside and said to Ge Yongquan: "In an hour, blow the trumpet and gather the troops."
"Gathering troops?"
Ge Yongquan couldn't help being slightly stunned, but he kept his doubts in his heart and nodded in agreement.
Everyone left the dormitory again.
Ge Yongquan personally took Lu Fang to inspect the entire new military camp.
Yang Gang and other rebel soldiers were very tired, so for the time being, his men were responsible for the defense of the barracks.
There has been no war in Chengdu Prefecture recently, so naturally the sentry and patrol will not be very strict.
Lu Fang didn't say much.
This visit quickly passed by for almost half an hour.
Suddenly, a loud and powerful horn blast sounded in the military camp.
A sergeant beat the gongs and drums and shouted: "Order! Gather troops in the school field! Order!"
Lu Fang, Ge Yongquan and others also walked towards the school grounds.
Because the new military camp was originally used for training new recruits, the school grounds were very large. There was nothing else on the entire flat land except for the high platform used for military parades.
Soon, groups of soldiers came to the school grounds to gather.
Most of them wear armor and white leather hats with red tassels on their heads. Those who can wear fish scale armor and cherry helmets are military generals, and there are only a few of them.
Because Ge Yongquan, the chief commander, only commanded less than a thousand people, from him on down, except for the deputy chief commander and the two minor commanders, there were almost no high-ranking generals.
Soon, a few uncontrollable smiles appeared on Ge Yongquan's face.
The first ones to rush over were the soldiers under his command.
In this way, the quality gap between his soldiers and Yang Gang's rebels was fully reflected. The Seventeenth Prince must have been able to see from this that although Ge Yongquan did not have great wisdom, his training methods were still good.
And Lu Fang did not disappoint Ge Yongquan.
Seeing the soldiers under Ge Yongquan's command consciously lining up in formation after arriving at the school grounds, he nodded slightly and said with a smile: "General Shi's men really deserve the name of the Forbidden Army."
"Your Highness has given you such praise."
Ge Yongquan said quickly: "It is only because of His Highness's "Thirty-Six Strategies for Military Training" that the general can make these bastards obey him honestly."
This is another compliment to Lu Fang.
Lu Fang smiled and simply asked: "If there are thousands of people, can General Shi train them to such an extent?"
"this……"
Ge Yongquan couldn't help but feel elated, "I will do my best to serve your two highnesses!"
He didn't dare to pat his chest and agree, he just expressed his attitude.
This, in fact, can be regarded as a kind of loyalty.
After all, there is a slight difference between sharing the worries of the two Highnesses and contributing to the major events of the rebel army.
Ge Yongquan thought to himself that he was lucky this time, and finally had it in his lap.
Soon, almost the time of a stick of incense passed.
"Stop blowing the trumpet!"
Lu Fang said to Ge Yongquan.
Then he looked at the neat rows of Yongkang troops on Jiaochang Mountain and the sparse rebel troops beside them, and shouted: "Those who have arrived, return quickly!"
Then he pointed to a small commander under Ge Yongquan, "You lead your people to bring over all those who have not yet come to assemble!"
"yes!"
Of course, the little captain knew who Lu Fang was, so he quickly accepted the order, waved his hand and ran away with dozens of people under his command.
The atmosphere on the school grounds became obviously tense.
Because everyone could see that Lu Fang was a little angry.
Lu Fang was always smiling at ordinary times, but this sudden anger made them unable to help but feel fear.
Some time later.
The little captain came over with a lot of people.
Some were running in front, while others were walking leisurely behind.
Yang Gang was trotting next to Xiao Dutong. When he saw the Yongkang troops who were already in formation, he felt a faint look of shame on his face.
"You guys line up right there!"
Lu Fang pointed at Yang Gang and others and shouted.
He then asked the commander-in-chief to return to the army with his men.
Everyone's eyes in Jiaochang Mountain were focused on Lu Fang's face.
Yang Gang also saw that Lu Fang was angry, and quickly scolded those who were still wandering behind to hurry up and line up.
Some people showed a little anger on their faces.
"I know you are all very tired after traveling all the way from Chengdu. It's understandable that we didn't gather in time, right?"
When the rebels finally lined up, Lu Fang said to them.
No one answered.
But the expressions on their faces can show that this is what they think in their hearts.
If they hadn't been so tired after two days of traveling, they wouldn't have been unable to gather the troops in time.
"But what if the enemy invades at this time!"
Lu Fang suddenly raised his voice, "Because you are tired, they won't break into the dormitory and chop off your heads? Will they wait for you to have a good rest before fighting with you because you are tired?"
Still no one answered.
But the expressions on many people's faces have changed slightly.
They just thought that Lu Fang was deliberately torturing people, so they were so unhurried. But they never thought about what they would do if the enemy really invaded.
"Yang Gang!"
Lu Fang pointed at Yang Gang.
"The end is here!"
Yang Gang stepped forward with a slightly red face.
Lu Fang said: "You have five hundred push-ups under your command!"
