.    Lucheng is conducting a grand military exercise. This is the first military exercise after the new Lucheng Lord Sima Rui took office. Naturally, it attracted many scholars and businessmen to watch it. The location of the military exercise was not in the schoolyard where martial arts was performed normally, but was chosen outside Lucheng City. Except for the city tower in the middle, the people were not prohibited from watching it. So early in the morning, the entire wall was full of people, and outside the city, there were even more people.

In the past, when General Feng was present, he did not practice these activities, and the people of Lucheng would not see such a grand occasion.

Sima Rui sat on the central city tower, beside him, Wang Min, who had been waiting for a leisurely residence, was invited. However, his face was indeed not very good. Now if he was under surveillance in Lucheng, even if he was on the street, he would always follow several people in front of him, some were light and some were dark.

Wang Min was extremely regretful. Before leaving, General Feng left him a sum of gold and silver. The money was used to win over the four subordinate generals. It must be that General Feng had already thought of this problem when he left. The four generals had their own difficulties. General Feng did not give them himself, but gave him the opportunity to win people's hearts, but he took things too simply.

He wanted to keep the money and use it when he needed it more money in the future. Maybe one day, the money could turn into a war horse, a sword, a gun, and a bow and arrow. He didn't use them to win over Yao Meng and the other two. Wang Min thought that the four of them were like him. After being with the Old General Feng for so long, they were all strong men. How could they bend for money? But the facts showed that he was wrong, a big mistake and a special mistake. As a result, the first battalion changed hands. Sima Rui seized the loophole and took the first battalion away 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 of asking others for help. He didn't blame these four people, he only blamed himself.

Now Wang Zhuang and Ding Jian lead the battalion generals of the Third Battalion and the Fourth Battalion. They just waited for the imperial court to issue a letter of appointment, and the first Battalion is now Yao Meng, and Qiao Zifang himself was the first to surrender to Sima Rui. Sima Rui had really grasped Lu Cheng, and he was already a true idle person.

The military exercises below have begun, and the loud cheers of citizens come from time to time, but Wang Min has no intention of putting his mind at all. This army has nothing to do with him now.

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

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

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

"Very good, very good, the first battalion cannot be reached. The second, third and fourth battalions are now completely reborn, which makes people extremely happy!" Although he was disappointed, as a veteran, Wang Min was still very happy to see that the border army in Lucheng finally had some new atmosphere. The stronger the border army, the safer the Lucheng, and the people in this city, including the countless people behind him, are of course safer. As a border general, he was indeed happy.

Sima Rui was stunned. He thought Wang Min was going to make a big spell, because after he pulled Wang Zhuang, Ding Jian and other groups of backbones of the battalion from the battalion, the combat effectiveness of the battalion had decreased to a certain extent. He thought Wang Min would seize this point and attack him, but he did not expect that the other party would hold a public heart, but he looked at this person.

"Yao Meng, Wang Zhuang, Ding Jian, and Qu Lu are all talented in the battalion generals. I don't have to worry about their use in front of General Wang. I have different views on Old General Feng. Concentrating them all in the first battalion did ensure the super combat effectiveness of the first battalion, but it completely ruined the other battalions, with one soldier and a general. Therefore, the first battalion could provoke the other three battalions with the power of the first battalion and defeat them in battle. But now, it's different. Yes, the strength of the first battalion has indeed decreased, but the strength of the other three battalions has risen. If the 234th battalion is here to challenge the previous first battalion, the second battalion can be equal to the first battalion, and the three battalions can 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, do you agree with my law?"

Wang Min could not object to this point, but it was not that the old general Feng could not lead the troops, but that the old general Feng did not have the tough backstage and rich resources as Sima Rui. The old general Feng could not kick the incompetent third and fourth battalions like Sima Rui, so he could only let them go. He could only do his best to ensure the combat effectiveness of the first battalion. Sima Rui did a good job at this point.

"Not bad!" Wang Min nodded in agreement.

"General Wang is full of sway, Sima Rui admires it!" Sima Rui smiled and said, "I thought I would refute it a lot?"

"I am a soldier, why do you have to argue without regard to the facts? General Sima, I am most happy to see the strength of the border army. Congratulations!" Wang Min said with a calm face.

Sima Rui bowed and said, "Thank you, I am very happy to be praised by such an old general. General Wang, if I am willing to join, I will welcome you with open arms."

Wang Min sighed and stood up: "Sorry, I don't plan to do it. General Sima, Lucheng border troops are indeed stronger than before, but I only hope to use them on the right path. Instead of those ghosts and monsters, if you want to be unaware of others, you must not do it yourself. Although Wang Min is trapped at home, he has not heard of anything."

Sima Rui's face changed. Looking at Wang Min who was leaving, murderous aura flashed across his face. Wang Min's words were already very straightforward, but how much did he know?

The martial arts performance lasted for a whole morning and it didn't end until noon. Looking at the more than 10,000 troops gathered under the city, Sima Ruijue

With confidence, this is a force that truly belongs to him and will be the foundation of his origin.

In the evening, the main generals of the Lucheng border army gathered at General Sima Rui's mansion to celebrate the success of the martial arts performance. Sima Rui took off his military uniform, changed into casual clothes, held a wine glass, toasted the generals under his command one by one, with a smile on his face.

Qu Lu was a little disappointed. The four whistle generals of the first battalion have now become battalion generals, and only he is still different from the place. Looking at the proud Yao Meng, Wang Zhuang, Ding Jian, and Qiao Zifang whom he has always looked down on, Qu Lu felt very unhappy.

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

"Sit!" Sima Rui smiled and said, "Why, I feel unhappy when I see a person having several drinks?"

"I dare not!" Qu Lu shook his head repeatedly.

"I understand the thoughts." Sima Rui patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, I have an arrangement."

"Thank you, General Sima!" Qu Lu bowed and said with a barely smile. The Lucheng border army had only four battalions in total. Now that the heads and generals of the fourth battalion are in place, he must be behind.

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

Qu Lu was shocked and happy again, and then he said in confusion: "General, Lucheng border army has only four battalions. The over-organization expansion of the army is not allowed by the military headquarters. It is a taboo and illegal system and will be subject to military law."

Sima Rui laughed, "General Qu, you won't be so naive. Since I have the fifth battalion, there must be the fifth battalion, because this is not what I want, but someone wants it, and this person is something that the military cannot move, and even some people in the military want to please him."

Qu Lu immediately understood who that person was.

"Thank you, General!" Qu Lu raised his wine glass and the two of them collided heavily.

She Wenzhuang walked to Sima Rui silently, whispered a few words in his ears, Sima Rui laughed and said, "You are staring so tightly, okay, let him wait in the side hall, I will go to see him."
