After leaving the merchant, Pei Yue rushed back to Beiying without stopping, and then held a memorial ceremony at the school ground where the Zangfeng Guards were stationed to comfort the souls of his comrades who died in the war in the Western Border.

Early the next morning, the new chief officers of the Zangfeng Guard and Wuding Guard hurried to the Commander's Mansion after breakfast.

The lobby has changed slightly compared to the past. A new map is hung on the north wall. With the Tiancang River as the center line, the brief topography of the five states in the south of Daliang and the six places in the north of the Southern Zhou Dynasty can be seen at a glance.

Everyone sat down on both sides of the long table. On the left were Qin Xian, Meng Longfu, Luo Kedi and Xue Meng, the four generals of Wudingwei. On the right were Wei Rui, Tang Linfen and Chen Xianda, who commanded the Zangfeng.

Wei, plus Fu Hongzhi who was forced into Pingnan Wei by Pei Yue.

There is a booklet in front of everyone.

The door was closed, and Qi Min led his soldiers to surround the commander's mansion, blocking out any prying eyes.

Pei Yue stood next to the map, motioned for everyone to pick up the booklet in front of them, and said calmly: "Let's take a look first."

Wei Rui looked down and saw four words written on the cover of the booklet: Seven Strategies of Cao Dian.

When I opened it, I saw the general outline on the front page which read: A good teacher will not fight, and a good teacher will not fight. This statement should be used to plan for change, to make a sound first and then to implement it. The military will is determined, win the enemy's heart, and do not wait for the flag to be fortified.

The troops and arrows are in contact with each other, and the victory or defeat depends on the front. Secondly, the troops are established, the power is planned, the troops behind are first, and the gaps are closed, so as to take advantage of the opportunity and assist in victory. This has not been changed in thousands of years.

.

Tang Linfen, who was sitting next to him, read this passage softly. Except for Chen Xianda, everyone in the hall was thoughtful.

Wei Rui continued to look down and saw what was written at the back: The main point is to train soldiers, have strong weapons, give orders, and supervise them with rewards and punishments. Due to the suitable situation of the mountains and rivers, it is important to talk about the importance of infantry, riding, separation, and coordination. Don't be arrogant or narrow-minded.

, always live according to the formation, always treat others as I am relaxed, always treat others as I am in trouble, always treat others as I am in order, always treat me as close as others are far away, always treat me as full as possible as others are hungry as possible.

Seeing this, Wei Rui was quite shocked, so he read out the last sentence directly: "Therefore, the seven strategies of military training are the binding of troops, hands and feet, weapons, formations, camps, military discipline, and flags. This is the way to win."

."

Seeing the looks of awe gradually appearing on the faces of these people, Pei Yue smiled softly and said calmly: "This is our military training manual from the beginning of Beiying. I refer to the military books of my predecessors, Mr. Xi's teachings to me, and these two

This is a collection of my experiences on the battlefield over the years, so you don’t need to make a fuss, and don’t look at me like a monster.”

The atmosphere relaxed a little, and Chen Xianda touched his forehead and said: "Master Hou, I know these words separately, but I can't figure out what they mean when they are put together."

Pei Yue said with a smile but not a smile: "Too lazy to learn?"

Chen Xianda was not stupid at all. He shook his head quickly and said: "The general wants to learn, but he is afraid that he is too stupid and will not understand it for a while."

Everyone else laughed in a relaxed manner.

Pei Yue said unhurriedly: "I will give you five days to memorize this book. If you make a mistake by then, I will punish you with a military stick."

Perhaps because he had been very leisurely in the past few months, and Pei Yue rarely spoke harshly to his generals, Chen Xianda had a smile on his face and wanted to bargain.

The smile on Pei Yue's face suddenly disappeared, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he said coldly: "Did you hear me clearly?"

Chen Xianda's heart tightened, and he subconsciously stood up and replied: "Follow the order!"

Pei Yue stopped paying attention to him, glanced at everyone one by one, and said in a cold voice: "Most of you have been with me for a long time, so you should know my temper. I usually just laugh and play, but where is this place?

What is the occasion now? You are the generals of the Beijing camp, not the Qing Dynasty.

A scoundrel should have the sense and appearance of a military general! After just a few victorious battles, each one of them turned out to be a soldier. Let me tell you, there is no shortage of young talents in Daliang who want to make contributions. If you can’t figure it out,

As for your identity, pack up your bed and get out of here right away!"

Everyone was awe-struck. Qin Xian stood up first and said: "This is my Lord, I will definitely keep it in my heart."

Pei Yue glanced at him, his eyes a little softer. He knew his brother very well, he always kept public and private affairs separate, and he would never act recklessly in a military meeting like this just because of their private relationship.

Others stood up and expressed their opinions. Luo Kedi's voice was particularly loud because he was the only one who didn't smile just now.

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Everyone sit down."

"yes!"

"Not only do you have this Seven Strategies, but every general in Beiying will have a copy in the future. I am calling you here today, of course, not to explain to you the contents of the Seven Strategies, but to ask you to clarify something before training your soldiers.

One thing, what is the way to be a general?"

Everyone sat upright and looked solemn.

Pei Yue returned to the commander's seat and sat down, and said in a deep voice: "To be a general, you must first heal your heart. This sentence has two meanings. One is that the general must learn to cultivate his mind. If the mountain collapses in front of him, his appearance will not change.

If the elk is on the left and its eyes are not blinking, then it can control the advantage and harm, and wait for the enemy."

When he said this, his eyes moved on the faces of Chen Xianda and Xue Meng, and they couldn't help but lower their heads in shame.

Pei Yue did not hold on to them and continued: "Secondly, as a general, you must not only manage your own mind, but also know how to manage the army's mind. The so-called managing the army's mind means that before you train your soldiers according to these seven strategies, you must let them

The soldiers below need to understand two questions: Why are we fighting? Who are we fighting for?"

The hall fell into silence, everyone frowned in thought.

After a moment, Fu Hongzhi said with emotion: "Going back to the Marquis, we are fighting for Daliang, fighting for Your Majesty, and also fighting for...the Marquis."

This sentence was really bold to say, but no one among the generals expressed objections.

Pei Yue was noncommittal and said slowly: "If you fight for Daliang, you also fight for yourself."

Everyone's eyes gradually brightened as they carefully studied the profound meaning of this sentence.

Pei Yue said unsmilingly: "Whether it is driving the enemy away or defending the interior, whether it is taking the initiative or protecting the people, these are all for the sake of the beam. Don't say those obscure words to the soldiers, tell them straightforwardly, if

Without the beams, we are just wild dogs without a home. Whether we can survive depends on luck. Therefore, fighting for the beams is to protect our own home."

He paused, raised his hand and tapped the table, and said sternly: "The second point is to fight for yourself. If you want to be promoted and make a fortune, be successful, or have descendants, there is no problem with that, and it is not a crime of treason.

People must be persistent in order to achieve success. If they don't even have the courage to face their inner thoughts, such people are not worthy of staying under my command."

Meng Longfu, who had always been taciturn, suddenly asked: "Master Hou, why do you trust us so much?"

Pei Yue looked around at everyone, and then said calmly: "You are willing to put your lives in my hands on the battlefield, why can't I trust you?"

Meng Longfu said solemnly: "The general would rather die than betray the Marquis's trust."

Seeing that others were about to speak, Pei Yue raised his hand and said: "No need to say anything, I know what you are thinking. You must think about the two questions carefully and thoroughly, and then teach your subordinates by words and deeds. Remember.

In a word, a person who doesn’t even understand why he is fighting so hard may be lucky enough to win once or twice on the battlefield, but he will definitely end up in failure.”

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

"The formation chapter in Qilue not only records the common formations in military books, but also the Yuanyang Formation that I have improved and perfected. Whether it is the Tibetan Front Guard or the Wuding Guard, you must let the soldiers master the Yuanyang Formation proficiently."

"I will obey the command of the Marquis!"

Luo Kedi turned to the formation section, briefly read the description of the Yuanyang Formation, and then said in surprise: "Master Marquis, this improved Yuanyang Formation is very suitable for the terrain of the Southern Zhou Dynasty!"

Pei Yue sighed in his heart, this man is worthy of his family background and his vision is indeed extraordinary.

If we just talk about family background, no one here can be stronger than Luo Kedi. After all, he has a father who is a prince who holds military power.

As for the genuine Yuanyang Formation, which was at home in areas with dense water networks like the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and some of the contents of the Seven Strategies were derived from the "New Book of Jixiao", Pei Yue could only apologize to General Qi, who was famous in history.

He did not follow Luo Kedi's words, but just smiled faintly, and then said: "Everyone, time waits for no one, seize the day. After three months, I will personally test the results of your training."

Everyone showed excitement and said in unison: "The last general takes orders!"

After repeated beatings, Pei Yue began to continue to strengthen his military philosophy on everyone, which in layman's terms was brainwashing.

The Seven Strategies of Cao Dian are just means. What he wants to do is to shape the inner nature of the Zangfeng Guard and Wuding Guard. Looking at the history books of the past and present, an army without a soul is definitely not the king's army.

Compared with the things he hid in Green Willow Manor, what he is doing with these generals is more difficult at the moment, but as long as success spreads, the rewards will be more abundant.

Because that means that this army with extremely terrifying combat effectiveness will become the trump card in his hand.

This very long military discussion lasted until the sunset. Qi Min led people into the festival hall for lunch, and then immediately left. Everyone ate without caring about the image, and then continued to discuss the way to be a general and the method of training soldiers.

.

After the show ended, Pei Yue sat alone at the table and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

After a stick of incense passed by, Qi Min's voice sounded outside the door: "Master, Lin An is here to bring you."

"Come in."

"I see you, Lord Marquis."

"No need."

Lin An straightened up and looked at Pei Yue, who looked slightly tired on his face. He couldn't help but have a nervous look on his face, which was completely different from when he killed the Captain of Ten Thousands on the battlefield. At that time, he was very high-spirited, and at the same time he was very excited about Pei Yue.

Some are unconvinced and feel that they just don’t have the opportunity.

However, after experiencing the subsequent battles in the Tibetan Front Guard, he had long been convinced of Pei Yue and became more fearful.

Pei Yue was too lazy to be polite and said bluntly: "I have prepared a house for you in Kyoto, and you will live there in a few days."

Lin An was stunned and said in panic: "Master Hou, my subordinates don't want to leave Zangfengwei."

Pei Yue explained: "You are Shuyue's only relative, so naturally you have to send her to the sedan chair. Although I can't give her the identity of the main wife, I can't do anything carelessly. When the time comes, Shuyue will move into that house in advance,

As your mother-in-law, you want to send her off for marriage, do you understand?"

Lin An had mixed feelings, thinking that this Marquis was really a strange man.

Although he was not familiar with Kyoto, just looking at Pei Yue's current status, he knew how much he had to worry about every day. It was really unusual for him to be able to take care of a concubine at this juncture.

In any case, Pei Yue's words were correct. Lin Shuyue was his only remaining relative. Being able to see her find a good home, he felt only relief and joy in his heart. He nodded solemnly and said, "I understand. Congratulations."

Mr. Hou, thank you Mr. Hou."

Pei Yue hesitated for a moment, but finally said bluntly: "I don't want anyone in the army to know about your relationship with Shuyue."

Lin Andu smiled calmly, straightened his back and said: "Master Marquis, my subordinate is now a guerrilla in the third capital of the Tibetan Front Guard Left Army. This military position was earned by my subordinate who fought desperately to kill the enemy. I don't want others to think that this is

My cousin asked you to come here."

Pei Yue glanced at him in surprise, then smiled and said: "That's all, let's go practice."

"Follow the order!"
