   Chapter 337 Weng Son-in-law (1)

  All the generals of the sixth rank and above in the Xingyang Army gathered in the army tent, and Zheng Zhong Lu Fei was among them. Including Lu Lin, King of Xingyang, there were twenty-four people in total.

   In addition to His Royal Highness who came to attend the meeting, there are twenty-five in total.

  During the pacification last year, His Royal Highness the Prince went out with the Xingyang Army. The generals are also familiar with the behavior of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

  His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not speak much, he is broad-minded, gentle in temperament, and is the son-in-law of King Xingyang. The generals have long regarded him as their own, and there is no rejection at all.

  Li Jing entered the army tent, and all the generals held hands together: "The last general has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

   Li Jing laughed loudly and said, "You don't need to be too polite." He walked over to his father-in-law Lu Lin and sat down naturally.

   Lu Linchong nodded slightly to Li Jing, and politely asked His Royal Highness to speak first. Li Jing said with a smile: "General Lu, don't be polite to me. The military is important. What am I talking about as a layman?"

   These words were easy-going and funny, and all the generals laughed.

   grinned solemnly and said, "His Royal Highness is too self-effacing. If His Royal Highness is still a layman, I will not lead the troops into battle."

   Another young general echoed with a smile: "General Zheng said yes."

  Li Jing was humble and eager to learn, and was extremely concerned with military affairs, so he took the initiative to take over the affairs of the Overseer. Willing to be Lu Lin's deputy. This kind of boldness has convinced many generals.

   Gossip a few words and get to the point.

   Lu Lin ordered his soldiers to take out the map of Yanjing.

  The most taboo thing in fighting with a large army is knowing oneself and not knowing the enemy.

   Great Wei had long intended to conquer Yan and Chu. Several years ago, he sent spies into Yan and Chu. It took several years to draw a map of Yan and Chu.

  The maps of these two countries are secret in the military, and only three copies were drawn. One remains in the capital, and the other two are in the army. The map of Yan State is in the hands of Lu Lin and the Marquis of Puyang, while the map of Chu State is in the hands of Emperor Yongjia and Marquis Guangping.

The marching route of the    army was already determined.

   Lu Lin swept his eyes away, and said with Rong Rong: "We have won a battle, and we have taken down a city in the country of Yan. We will repair it for a few days, and leave tomorrow to attack Pengcheng."

  Lu Lin pointed his hand and landed on another city in Yan Kingdom. The generals couldn't sit still anymore, and each gathered around to look carefully at the terrain of Pengcheng.

  There are fourteen cities in Yan Kingdom, the six largest cities are all in the back, and the few cities in front are not too big. The terrain of Pengcheng is flat, and the city walls are not built very high. The man stationed in Pengcheng was a lesser-known general of the State of Yan.

   All the generals were eager to try, and took the initiative to ask: "General, the last general will lead the soldiers to be the outpost. Let's go and explore Pengcheng first."

   "The last general is willing to go, please order the general."

  The crowd is enthusiastic, one by one fighting for the first place. Civil servants do their best, military generals are not afraid of death. There is a reason why the Great Wei will eventually rule the world.

   In such a situation, it was difficult for even Li Jing to remain calm. He couldn't help but said, "General Lu, I also want to lead troops to Pengcheng."

  Li Jing volunteered to fight, but Lu Lin was not surprised.

  Li Jing was reluctant to stay in the capital and wanted to go out with the army, which shows that he has blood in his chest. In these days, Li Jing has been learning the way of marching and deploying troops. Since he came to the battlefield, sooner or later, he would have to kill the enemy with a long sword.

  Pengcheng happens to be a soft persimmon, let Li Jing pinch it first to get used to the war.

  Lu Lin thought for a while, and then responded: "Alright. The army will start tomorrow, Lu Fei, you and His Royal Highness the Prince will lead 10,000 people as outposts. Let's explore Pengcheng first."

   Lu Lin was still worried after all, so he sent Lu Fei and Prince Li Jing to go with him.

  Lu Fei grew up in the military camp since he was a child. With Lu Fei here, he would definitely be able to keep the prince safe.

  Lu Fei immediately took orders.

  Li Jing silently accepted the kindness of his father-in-law.

   Next, is a series of marching arrangements. This discussion went on for an entire afternoon. It was not until evening that the generals dispersed.

  Lu Lin left Li Jingzheng and Lu Fei behind, and said with a smile, "We are going to send troops tomorrow. Tonight, our father, son, Weng and son-in-law will have dinner together. Let's talk by the way."

  Li Jing and the three readily agreed.

  …

  There are rules in the army, you can't drink alcohol. Lu Lin was actually quite addicted to alcohol, so he had to endure it.

  As a general in the army, you cannot take the lead in committing military violations. If he drinks in private, how will he control the generals in the future?

   There are six dishes on the small table, and each person has a cup of tea in front of them. Lu Lin took out a pottery bottle out of nowhere, pulled the lid, and a strong aroma of wine wafted out.

  Lu Lin approached the mouth of the bottle, took a deep breath of the aroma of the wine, then raised the teacup and took a sip with a satisfied expression on his face.

  Li Jing: "..."

   Such a scene, Zheng Zhong Lu Fei was used to seeing it for a long time, and each lowered his head and snickered.

   Li Jing also met twice. However, every time I see it, I still find it fresh and interesting. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Father-in-law wanted to drink so much, so I just took a few sips quietly. There was no one else here. After the night passed, the smell of alcohol dissipated early, and no one would know."

Lu Lin said with a smile: "I set the rules of the Xingyang army. How can I not abide by the military rules in private? It's already good to smell the wine like this! After the big victory, I'll drink it again. ."

  This self-discipline is really admirable.

  Li Jing looked at his radiant father-in-law and felt a little sigh in his heart.

   Such a famous general who fought to the death for the Great Wei in his previous life. As long as Li Hao has a little conscience, he shouldn't treat his wife, children and Lu family badly.

Seeing that Li Jing had been looking at him, Lu Lin suddenly got the wrong idea, and handed the pot over with a smile: "This is a good wine that has been aged for ten years. Take a sniff!"

  Li Jing laughed dumbly, and without explaining, took the pottery bottle and moved closer to the mouth of the bottle.

   Sure enough, the wine is fragrant.

   Drink another sip of tea, and it does add a wonderful taste to the slightly drunk.

   looked greedy solemnly, and sighed deliberately: "Father-in-law only has four sons-in-law in his heart, where is my eldest son-in-law. I am completely out of favor."

  Li Jing choked on a sip of clear tea in his mouth.

  Lu Fei laughed.

  Lu Lin also laughed, and took out three more pottery bottles like a conjuration: "Don't worry, everyone has it."

   Putting a bottle of wine in front of each person and drinking tea with the aroma of the wine is also really interesting. The three people in front of him, who are not related to him by blood, have now become his steadfast supporters and his family.

   A gust of wind from nowhere blew into the army tent, and also blew the blood of Li Jing's heart.

  Li Jing's eyes suddenly became hot.

  Unfortunately, the emotional emotion did not last long.

After three rounds of tea, Lu Lin suddenly asked Li Jing with a smile, "Xiaoyu wrote you a letter!"

  Li Jing nodded with a smile.

  Lu Lin then asked again, "Did you only write one page?"

   It seems that Xiaoyu's letter to her father didn't grow too far. Li Jing continued to nod.

   Lu Lin grinned, his face full of self-satisfaction: "Xiaoyu wrote me a letter with three pages."

  Li Jing: "..."
