Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Yin Xing, the governor of Shuozhou, reminded meaningfully: "Although Dashu Mountain is the highest point in Luzhou city, for the enemy's baggage troops, choosing this route will do more harm than good.

In contrast, many roads converge in the Zipeng Mountain area, which is the only way for the enemy.

No matter how many disadvantages there are, they have to take the risk and choose this route.

Moreover, the enemy was able to transport food and supplies near Luzhou, which meant that there must be local forces secretly supporting them.

It was just that the other side did not expect that General Wang would lead the guard battalion to ambush here, which led to the tragic defeat. "

Zhu Gang nodded and said, "What Governor Yin said makes sense, and this is exactly what I am worried about.

As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge a spear but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark!

If the local forces who were secretly supporting the army disguised themselves as gentry visiting the troops, General Wang would easily be ambushed in a hurry.

In order to avoid this situation, I thought about it and decided to send a general who is familiar with the situation near Luzhou to provide support.

Commander Lin, I have selected 3000 elite soldiers from Shuozhou Guard and placed them under your command.

You must help General Wang bring back the food and supplies, and don't let me down!"

As he spoke, Zhu Gang's gaze was like a sharp arrow, fixed squarely on Lin Zhen. His gaze was filled with scrutiny and unquestionable majesty.

The smile on Lin Zhen's face froze instantly, and he suddenly felt shocked.

Only at this moment did Lin Zhen realize that his previous behavior was somewhat inappropriate and had touched a string in Zhu Gang's heart.

After a brief silence, Lin Zhen did not dare to hesitate any longer.

I saw him quickly bend down slightly, leaning forward, and letting his hands hang naturally.

Lin Zhen clasped his fists in front of him with a respectful expression, his movements were done in one go, showing his humility.

Although his voice was steady, it was tinged with awe.

"The last general takes orders."

Although he might still feel unwilling, under Zhu Gang's oppressive gaze, Lin Zhen could only choose to obey orders.

Seeing this, the other people in the tent also held their breath.

After Lin Zhen bowed and accepted the order, he raised his head cautiously.

He secretly glanced at Zhu Gang, hoping to capture some detailed information about the mission from the other's expression or words.

However, Zhu Gang just sat quietly in the main seat with a gloomy face.

He looked at Lin Zhen calmly, showing no sign of speaking.

Although Lin Zhen was somewhat confused, he did not dare to ask more questions.

He had no choice but to hold the token tightly with both hands and turn around slowly.

Every step Lin Zhen took afterwards was extremely cautious, fearing that one of his actions would cause Zhu Gang's dissatisfaction.

There was silence in the central army tent, only the sound of Lin Zhen's footsteps echoed in the tent, making a dull "dong dong" sound.

He walked towards the tent door step by step, feeling as if the eyes behind him were piercing his back.

Lin Zhen could feel Zhu Gang's gaze always on him, but he still didn't hear the new instructions he was expecting.

As time passed, Lin Zhen walked to the door of the central military tent, and the heavy tent curtain swayed slightly in front of his eyes.

After a pause, Lin Zhen looked back again.

Zhu Gang still maintained the same posture as before, his expression unchanged, like a majestic statue.

In desperation, Lin Zhen gritted his teeth, lifted the tent curtain, and disappeared outside the central military tent.

Until his figure completely disappeared, the central military tent remained as quiet as before.

After Lin Zhen left, the atmosphere in the tent became more solemn, as if an invisible sense of oppression enveloped everyone. At this moment, Zhu Di moved slightly and took the lead in breaking the suffocating silence.

He looked calm, with a deep light gleaming in his eyes.

Zhu Di then coughed lightly. Although the sound was not loud, it caused ripples like throwing a stone into a quiet lake.

Zhu Gang's attention was instantly attracted by Zhu Di. He turned his head slightly and his eyes swept over Zhu Di.

Zhu Di's every move seemed to contain deep meaning. Zhu Gang keenly caught the flash of emotion in his eyes and secretly wondered what the other party's intention was.

"Third brother, according to my secret investigation, the Luzhou Lin family has deep roots in the local area.

If I let him lead the army to support General Wang, I am worried that there will be hidden dangers of internal and external collusion."

After a brief eye contact with Zhu Di, Zhu Gang did not linger for too long. He then slowly turned his gaze to Yin Xing who was standing not far away.

Yin Xing stood there with an upright posture, quietly, like a pine tree.

Zhu Gang's eyes were like a sharp scalpel, examining Yin Xing carefully.

From his steady posture to the calm expression on his face.

Zhu Gang tried to find some clues from Yin Xing to see what his thoughts and judgments were about the current situation.

Yin Xing felt Zhu Gang's gaze and raised his head slightly to look at Zhu Gang.

There was a hint of calmness in his eyes, but he seemed to be hiding some unknown thoughts.

The two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere in the tent became increasingly subtle.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have already made all the arrangements.

Over the years, the Shuozhou Guards have been deeply indebted to the Jin Palace, and there will definitely be no villains who betray their own people!"

Looking at Yin Xing who was confident, Zhu Di asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Third brother, you knew that Lin Zhen had problems, but you still let him take on the task of supporting General Wang. Could it be that you already have a comprehensive plan in mind?"

Zhu Gang nodded and said, “As early as when Yin Xing was appointed as the actual person in charge of the initial establishment of Shuozhou Guard, he started the drastic work of guard construction with a bold and resolute attitude.

Yin Xing was well aware that the location of Shuozhou Wei had a special geographical location and great strategic significance.

If we want the garrison here to play its due military defense role and develop stably and sustainably, all infrastructure construction work must be carried out in a solid manner.

Among the many construction projects, promoting the military farming system became Yin Xing’s top priority.

He was well aware that the military farming system was crucial to the self-sufficiency of the army and the stable development of the local area.

So Yin Xing first solemnly announced the military farming order issued by the court in the garrison, so that every soldier would clearly know the court's emphasis on and determination on the military farming policy.

In order to effectively encourage the soldiers to actively participate in the farming work, Yin Xing racked his brains.

He carefully studied the policies formulated by his father and combined them with the actual local conditions in Shuozhou.

After careful consideration, Yin Xing adopted a series of comprehensive and targeted military settlement measures.

He clearly stipulated that grain reserves would be exempt from tax during the first three years of military farming.

This move was like a timely rain, giving reassurance to the soldiers who were originally concerned about military farming.

After all, for these soldiers whose main duties are military training and garrisoning, the additional farming work has increased their burden.

If we still have to face the pressure of hoarding food, we will inevitably feel resistance.

At the same time, Yin Xing also took into account the soldiers' living needs and paid them appropriate salaries.

Although the military pay was not generous, it alleviated the financial pressure on the soldiers to a certain extent.

It also made the soldiers of Shuozhou Wei feel the care of the court and thus became more active in the work of farming. " (End of this chapter)
