Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 579 Calculation
The night gradually dispersed the light, and the lights of the Hussars General's mansion were lit up one after another. The burning bonfire reflected the patrolling figures. The guards in armor took over from the comrades in front. They stood on the bluestone road with swords and shields, pressing the horizontal button. The general of Dao looked at the wall with a serious expression. The Liao Dynasty had only stayed behind for more than a month, so he would not forget it immediately.

As they came and went, the guards in armor brought the food. They walked into the hall where people were still talking with the plates in their hands, put them down, and then withdrew.

"A certain person once said that if we capture this Liaoyang Mansion, we will reward you based on your merits. Now it's time to fulfill your promise."

He reached out to pick up the thin iron drill and gently flicked the wick to make the light a little brighter. In the swaying light of the fire, there was a bit of fatigue on the face reflected: "It's just what position should be rewarded, a certain... is very concerned about this." hesitate."

He reached out to pick up the meat porridge and took a sip, with a hesitant expression on his face.

Li Zhu stroked his beard gently, but did not speak immediately. The figure over there continued: "Most of the people in the army were Song people before, so I used the Song system to run the army, but..."

The voice paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his words, but Li Zhu, who was from the Song Dynasty, chuckled: "It's just that the official system of the Song Dynasty was too complicated. The combination of dispatches, primary official ranks, casual official ranks, honorary officers, and titles all combined to create The way to promotion is complicated and difficult to understand. It was extremely wise for the general to only use one of them."

Lu Bu nodded, raised his hand to put the porridge into his stomach, and listened to Mr. Jin Jian opposite, who continued: "Zhuye was just about to discuss with the general. Now that he is acting under the title of hussar general, the system of Song Dynasty is no longer the best." "

"Yes, I think so too." Lu Bu wiped his lips and looked at Li Assistant with admiration: "I really don't like this messy official system, so I was thinking..." Looking at the person opposite, he spoke word by word. : "Reform!"

"If I use the military exploits of the Qin and Han Dynasties to inspire the generals to fight for their meritorious service, I should use the system of the Qin and Han Dynasties as a reward and let them fight for it. However, after all, the Qin and Han Dynasties are too far away. I think... it is generally inappropriate."

Li Zhu shook his head: "General, you think too much. How can the talented people in the army care about how we run the army? Even if it is based on the system of Yao and Shun in ancient times, no one will say otherwise as long as they have advanced to the next level. Can we do this?" The only ones who object are the bandanas.”

"In this way..." Lu Bu looked at the middle-aged man and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is it feasible?"

"We came here with nothing but nothing..." Li Zhu spread his hands and said, "Zhu has never seen any reason why it is impossible. It is just that it may be combined with the official system of the later dynasty to enrich the responsibilities of our army and cities. As for other... "

Shrugging as if it doesn't matter.

"Hahaha--"

Lu Bu laughed, grabbed the bowl, ate the meat porridge quickly, and put the bowl aside: "Very good, now that it's still early, you and I will decide on the official rewards for those who go on this expedition, and the rest will be added later. "

"There are still those surrendered generals from the Bohai Navy." Li Zhu reminded: "General, have you thought about how to arrange those people?"

"They are not people with special talents. I just want to use them to appease the hearts of the Bohai people." Lu Bu sighed and said calmly: "Let's give him a high position first. From now on, whether he will be promoted or demoted depends on his ability."

Opposite me, Li Zhu slowly stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of his beard: "What I'm saying...the general doesn't like these people either, so why not send them into the army to find a moment..."

Open your eyes and raise your hands to make a downward cut.

Lu Bu felt a little excited for a moment, but for some reason, he remembered the wandering moments in his previous life, and sighed: "They just want to find a place to settle down, and there is still room for a certain person. Let's leave it like this for now. What will happen to them in the future?" "

Li Zhu slowly closed his upper and lower eyelids, leaving a slight gap. He nodded first, then twirled the tip of his beard, and looked at the figure opposite him hesitantly: "Come and watch him, Zhu. I hope the general will give him the right to specialize. If something happens, we are allowed to take action.”

Lu Bu raised his eyes to look at him, and then took out a document: "This was written recently. There may be some omissions. Let's take a look at it together."

Li Assistant laughed and stood up to take it. If there is no objection, it is considered as agreement. There are some things that the superior does not say, and as a subordinate, you should understand it yourself.

The night was dark, and the lights in Tokyo were gradually extinguished. Only the soldiers on night duty were patrolling on the road with lanterns, occasionally accompanied by the sound of the watchman "Bang Bang" and a few words: "The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of the candle-" "When you go out "Jiu, beware of the prince next door——" the shout echoed in the night sky.

Assistant Li walked out of the hall door, looked at the desk with the light on, and closed the door gently.

"Military advisor, the general hasn't rested yet?" The burly Yu Cheng looked at the middle-aged man who came out, then turned to look at the door, and asked softly.

"We haven't rested yet." Li Zhu shook his head. Seeing Yu Cheng hesitate about what he wanted to say, he shook his head and added, "Maybe he's going to rest soon. It's been hard for you to wait."

"That's where the responsibility lies." Yu Cheng gently changed the side of the phoenix-headed ax and smiled: "Commentary, go back and rest quickly. It's getting late."

Li Zhu nodded, turned around and walked outside. The bonfire was swaying in the evening wind, and the shadows on the ground swayed from time to time, disappearing into the depths of the night.

A short road was quickly completed. He stood at the far end and looked back at the hall. Seeing the dim yellow light still shining through the window lattice, he couldn't help but grin as if he had a toothache. He turned around and walked away from the two guards guarding the courtyard door. The guard murmured: "Even these Bohai people don't know Deng Fei's life or death, how can he say it..."

……

The sky is full of stars, the cold moonlight shines on the city of Desheng Mansion, and the cold wind blows away the dust floating on the ground.

In the distance, the government office still had lights on, and the guard holding a sword stood outside the back hall door, looking at the dark night with a relaxed expression. There were also several groups of soldiers walking around holding torches, and from time to time they would shine their torches into the darkness. one time.

In the small room, the round table was littered with cups and plates. Yelu Yujian, a tall man, was sitting at the head of the table, holding a large, greasy porcelain bowl and downing a large gulp of strong wine, and then casually wiping the wine stains around his mouth.

"Yelu Dezhong sent a messenger this evening, asking me to send troops south to Tokyo."

Two generals were sitting opposite, both looking fierce. One of them had a bald head and was dressed as a Khitan man. The other had his hair tied up in a bun with a wooden hairpin, but he was a northerner.

"Be careful, Yelu Dezhong is the brother of Hunjun and his confidant. I'm afraid he has bad intentions in making this arrangement."

"I think so, Xiang Wen, Gao Yongchang is unreliable, and Hunjun is even more unreliable. If we follow him and send troops, we may not know what backup plans are waiting for us."

Yelu Yujian put down the wine bowl: "I know, but if we don't send troops, I'm afraid the first one that guy will attack is our Desheng Mansion. Now that the opponent has strong soldiers and horses, I'm afraid it won't be easy to mess with."

"Heidi... we also send troops?"

"...I'm afraid this is the only way. You two will start raising food and grass tomorrow. You must not let Yelv Dezhong get in the way of us on this matter."

"Don't worry, don't worry. We don't have to worry about it. I'm afraid that guy will put us on the front line and make us a back-up."

"Take a step at a time and prepare the food and grass first. If he really lets us come forward..." Yelu Yujian frowned, and then gritted his teeth and said, "I will withdraw from the battlefield even if I lose part of the army."
