Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 582 The Qualities of a Brilliant General

Gao Shun left the camp, Lan Ji and Guan Xing looked at Lan Tian expectantly, both of them had the idea of ​​asking for a fight.

The two young people's thoughts were written on their faces, and Lan Tian saw it clearly at a glance. He knew that young people were impulsive and love to show off, so he deliberately didn't respond, and continued to focus on the map.

Prodded by Lan Ji, Guan Xing asked cautiously, "Uncle, you just came to Jiangling, are you leaving soon?"

Lan Tian's eyes were still on the map, he nodded and replied: "Yes, clear out the defeated soldiers in Jiangdong as soon as possible, so that I can go north to help your father."

"Can you take me with you?" Guan Xing asked tentatively.

"No." Lan Tian looked at him with firm eyes.

"Why? Defending Jiangling City these days, General Xiang and Zhongling have seen my performance, so I won't embarrass my uncle." Guan Xing argued.

Lan Ji then added: "Yes, father, An Guo is very good."

Lan Tian turned around and replied with a serious face: "First of all, you are Yun Chang's son, and he didn't approve you to go to the battlefield. After all, you and Zhong Ling defended the city for violation of the rules. After all, I will intercede with Yun Chang , although Lu Meng and Sun Jiao escaped by water, the whereabouts of the thousands of people in Gu Li are unknown, Jiangling City still needs to strengthen its security, An Guo still stays to protect the family, and when you can go to the battlefield in the future, it will be up to your father to decide."

"okay."

Guan Xing was obviously disappointed, but Lan Tian raised Guan Yu to suppress him, and Guan Xing couldn't find any reason to refute.

"Father, what about me?" Lan Ji approached with a smile.

"You can't either." Lan Tian looked at Lan Ji's expectant eyes, and immediately poured cold water on him.

Lan Ji had a look of incredulity on his face, and quickly asked: "Why? An Guo did not enlist in the army. The boy is already a Sima of the other division of the youth battalion. Whether it is taming the prisoners of the Cao army, defending the city, or beheading the enemy general Han Dang under the Jiangling city, we Already a qualified soldier."

Lan Tian had a serious face, "You can barely be considered a good soldier, don't forget that you are still in charge of five hundred young men, and you are still far from being a general."

"Uh, my boy thinks it's not bad." Lan Ji lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, not daring to show his unconvinced expression to Lan Tian.

"Army training is not a day and night. Since Boping taught you the method, you should polish and understand it yourself. Remember not to rush for success. A platform with an unstable foundation can easily collapse." Lan Tianyu educated earnestly.

"Don't worry, baby," Lan Ji said helplessly.

Seeing this, Lan Tian continued to ask, "I'm quite proud after seeing you beheaded. Can you tell me what is the most important quality of a good general?"

Lan Ji stood up straight, and said sonorously: "Naturally, he is brave, he will be the first to capture the flag, and he will win every battle for the country."

"This is absurd." Lan Tian shook his head.

Lan Ji and Guan Xing were very surprised when they saw this. Lan Ji knew that his father had seen people, so he cupped his fists and saluted: "Please teach me, father."

Lan Tian looked at Lan Ji kindly, then turned his head to look at Guan Xing next to him, and then said meaningfully: "A general is the leader of a soldier. Every soldier has a family behind him. During a war, everyone wants to make contributions. But the parents at home only want their son to return safely, and a good general can not only win battles, but also bring his soldiers home alive, this is the most important quality.”

Lan Ji and Guan Xing remained silent. While the two were slowly digesting, Lan Tian continued to add: "From your reckless behavior last night, you didn't think about the consequences at all. What if the Jiangdong army really invaded the city? manage?"

"Of course we have to resist with all our strength, and then cover the evacuation of the family members." Lan Ji replied.

Lan Tian nodded slightly, "Although the idea is good, it's not good enough to respond to a crisis. We should first send someone to investigate the facts, first understand the specific situation of the enemy army, and then make a better judgment. Familiarity with the terrain, instead of recklessly going head-to-head, once you are bitten by the opponent, how many of your five hundred young soldiers are left?"

Lan Ji blushed and was embarrassed to answer, Guan Xing hurriedly spoke out: "Uncle has great insight, but there are always casualties in war. Zhong Ling's performance last night was already very good, after all, he is only 12 years old now."

Lan Tian stroked his beard, "It's good to know that you are only 12 years old. It is easy to be proud and complacent when you are young. I don't think it is a good thing. Those five hundred young soldiers are all the children of generals and the mainstay of the national army in the future, but they are so young. Just send them all to the battlefield, and the loss will be incalculable. If a large number of young soldiers die in battle, think about what situation General Guan will face? Will his arrogant soldiers mutiny?"

Lan Ji and Guan Xing's foreheads were sweating instantly, and Lan Tian's answer was unexpected at their level.

"Father, the child understands, I will stay and continue training." Lan Ji cupped his fists and gave Lan Tian a military salute.

"After ten years of hard work, you are still so young. There are many opportunities to gallop in the future. Don't be in a hurry. You have to learn from your elder brother in this point. His mind will be much more stable. Boping's military training methods cannot be superficial. In addition, ask General Guan and Master Xu for advice, you still need to learn a lot." Lan Tianyu instructed earnestly.

Lan Ji nodded frequently when he heard this: "Your child is taught, and An Guo and I are going back to the city right now. Father has worked hard on the march, please take care of yourself."

Lan Tian waved his hand lightly: "Go back quickly, I will send you four words, accumulate a lot of money."

Lan Ji and Guan Xing bid farewell to Lan Tian and walked out of the camp. Although they didn't get what they wanted, they were convinced by Lan Tian.

"Zhongling, I feel that my uncle is really powerful. No wonder my father respects him so much. His ability to strategize and win thousands of miles is really not something that everyone can learn. If he hadn't sent troops to rescue in time, the current situation in Jingzhou would have been abysmal. It's unimaginable." Guan Xing sighed on the way back to the city.

Lan Ji was still digesting Lan Tian's words, and when he heard Guan Xing's praise, he couldn't help but agree: "It's also my fault that Lu Meng and the others don't have eyes, and they dare to provoke them after suffering a loss. "

"By the way, is Boyang really amazing?" Guan Xing asked.

Lan Ji nodded, "Brother has a modest and stable personality. We really need to learn from him in this aspect, but it also has something to do with being with my father, so I have learned some skills."

"Aren't you at a loss, Zhongling? My eldest brother also follows his father all year round, and he can listen to his teachings every day. We are not the eldest sons, so we have to work harder." Guan Xing scratched his head.

Lan Ji smiled casually: "Why do you have the idea of ​​being at a disadvantage? Everyone's fate is different. I am indeed not as calm as my elder brother. It is easier to join the army with my uncle. I am already a Sima of another department. Brother, he is still a bodyguard now."

"Uncle is really strict." Guan Xing was surprised.

Not long after the two left, the stragglers made a detour to Jiangling and headed north, the guards on the city watched silently.
