Sima Rui is now living extremely comfortably. The First Battalion of the Lucheng Frontier Army has now completely fallen under his control. In fact, it means that he has completely controlled the entire Lucheng. Of course, as an outstanding person cultivated by a noble family,

Disciple, it is impossible for him to put all his eggs in one basket. When Youfu was trying to win over the first battalion, Qiao Zifang's troops of the second battalion, which were not even bad enough to be powerful, became the target of his transformation. Qiao Zifang was in Sima

After Rui came to Lucheng, he was the first to defect to him. Of course, such a person should be given some sweetness. The transformation of the second battalion began under the direct leadership of Sima Rui.

The first step is to clarify the soldiers. As the existence that can check and balance the first battalion in the future, Sima Rui certainly cannot allow the generals of the second battalion to eat up their quota and turn the second battalion into an empty frame. Sima Rui made a surprise visit and gathered the entire battalion.

When the officers and soldiers were counted on the roster, Qiao Zifang's face was ashen, and Sima Rui's face was not good-looking. The entire second battalion had 3,000 registered soldiers, but the actual number of soldiers was only over 2,000, which was almost 1,000 less.

.

Looking at the trembling generals, Sima Rui really wanted to jump up and whip them. Even if these stupid pigs want to get rich, they must understand that these soldiers are their foundation. Without a strong army as a backing, sooner or later they will be defeated.

It's a dish on other people's tables. No wonder when Wang Min found out that the smuggled ordnance was placed in the second battalion, he blatantly ordered the first battalion to take action. Compared with the first battalion, the second battalion not only had a much worse number of soldiers,

The combat effectiveness of the soldiers is obvious once you look at their formation and see that they are a pile of scum.

What did the Lucheng border army rely on to resist the powerful Mongolian cavalry? In addition to the city walls of Lucheng, they relied on the close formation of soldiers, powerful bed crossbows, bows and arrows, hand crossbows, etc. to form close and long-range attacks. And this,

This requires the courage and sacrifice of the soldiers to achieve this, and the second battalion's lazy style may scare them away when the Mongolian cavalry they face charge.

He forcibly ordered himself to calm down and stabilize his mentality. Qiao Zifang and his second battalion were the first to surrender to him. He should not be too harsh, otherwise it would hurt the morale of his own people. He took a long breath, and the look on Sima Rui's face

Showed a smile.

Qiao Zifang was frightened, lowering his head and waiting for Sima Rui's violent rebuke. After several months of contact, Qiao Zifang knew that the young general in front of him was not just an embroidered pillow like the rumored descendants of aristocratic families, but something.

With a few brushes, you can tell the truth just by looking at him calmly depriving Wang Min of control of the first battalion.

"General, please punish me!" Qiao Zifang winked, and the four sentry generals of the second battalion followed him and knelt down in front of Sima Rui.

"Get up!" Sima Rui waved his hand.

Qiao Zifang raised his head and took a sneak peek at Sima Rui. He was sure that the other party was not as angry as expected. Then he stood up uneasily. The most intolerable thing for a general in command is such a thing. He himself also fainted.

I'm sorry, there are too many vacancies.

"General!" Qiao Zifang called out. Just as he was about to speak, Sima Rui waved his hand and interrupted him.

"I know that when old General Feng Congyi was here, he had a lot of preference for the First Battalion. You are a bit like a little daughter-in-law, aren't you?" Sima Rui said with a smile.

"Yes, yes!" Qiao Zifang was overjoyed when he heard that the other party's tone was actually trying to explain himself, and said repeatedly: "Yes, General Sima and General Feng only trusted the first battalion and our second battalion when they were here.

Of course, it’s not just us, there are also the third and fourth battalions, both of which are short of one thing or another, and sometimes we can’t get enough pay and money, so I have no choice but to do this!”

Sima Rui sneered in his heart. Although he didn't know Feng Congyi, he still heard some things from his uncle. His uncle still admired Feng Congyi. He once said that if Feng Congyi hadn't guarded Lucheng for decades, Lucheng would have been there long ago.

He became a deceiver. In order to get rid of his own responsibilities, Qiao Zifang threw dirt on Feng Congyi. He was very disdainful.

"Having said that, you are so underpaid. If a war breaks out, will your second battalion still be able to fight? Looking at the appearance of your soldiers, I am afraid they will collapse at the first touch, right? Are these my Dai Viet border troops?" Sima Rui's

His tone suddenly became stern and his face became stern.

"General, forgive me. After we come down, I will immediately organize soldiers to strengthen training and make sure they regain their combat effectiveness as soon as possible." Qiao Zifang said quickly.

"This is the best!" Sima Rui breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The first step is to fill up these vacancies for me. No one is missing. If there is one missing, General Qiao, I am going to cut off the one I am talking about.

Your brain."

"General, I understand!" Qiao Zifang lowered his head.

Seeing Qiao Zifang's meek acceptance, Sima Rui stood up with a smile, walked to Qiao Zifang, patted his shoulder, and said: "If you are short of money, just tell me directly. I will support you with some daily expenses. I will still

Those who have this ability, but from now on, they will never be allowed to take empty quotas or drink the blood of soldiers. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

"Starting from tomorrow, the second battalion must immediately strengthen training and restore its combat effectiveness. I will give you a month. I want to see a completely different army. Your combat effectiveness must be at least 60 to 70% of that of the first battalion.

Can it be done?" Sima Rui asked.

"I will do my best in the end!"

"Try your best? Hehe, but you're just not sure, General Luo Wang Zhuang!" Sima Rui shouted.

"The end is here!" Wang Zhuang, who was behind Sima Rui, took a step forward. After being diagnosed and treated by the doctor Sima Rui spent a lot of money to bring from Shangjing, his wife is now in good condition, and it looks like she will be dead in a few months.

Wang Zhuang was able to recover as before, and the cost of treatment was completely borne by Sima Rui. This made Wang Zhuang burst into tears. You must know that with his status as a sentry general, let alone having no access to these imperial doctors in Beijing, he

Even if he could see him, he couldn't afford to invite him. After this incident, Wang Zhuang had now completely become Sima Rui's confidant.

"You will stay in the second battalion and assist General Qiao in training the second battalion. When the second battalion's combat effectiveness is formed, you will come to me and tell me!" Sima Rui said.

"I will obey your orders!" Wang Zhuang said, cupping his fists.

"General Sima!" Qiao Zifang became anxious upon hearing this. Doesn't this mean that he will be deprived of his military power? "General Sima, I have the ability to train the second battalion well, so there is no need for General Wang Zhuang to worry about it."

Sima Rui chuckled and said, "General Qiao, don't worry. You have to be responsible for the affairs of the entire second battalion. You will definitely be too busy with troop training. I asked Wang Zhuang to come over to help. When the training of the second battalion is completed, Wang Zhuang

He will still go back, he will not stay in the Second Battalion."

Qiao Zifang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wang Zhuang, "General Wang, you'll have a hard time!"

Qiao Zifang was the camp general, one level higher than Wang Zhuang. Seeing Qiao Zifang turn to speak to him, Wang Zhuang quickly clasped his fists and said, "Please give me some advice, General Qiao. If there are any omissions in the last general, please don't be polite, General Qiao."

Qiao Zifang smiled and said: "If General Wang can be valued by General Sima, he must have real talent and learning. I will leave the training of my second battalion to General Wang."
