Refusing to join the army

"No fight, no fight." Lin Wanrong jumped out of the battle circle with a smile and said with a smile: "Little General Li has superb martial arts skills, and he is no match for me. I admire him, I admire him."

 It is true that Li Wuling's family background is good and his martial arts skills are good, but compared with someone like him who is a semi-master and has been on the battlefield, he is far inferior. Lin Wanrong fought with him for several rounds without fighting back, and just let him attack wildly, venting his anxiety.

 Although Li Wuling was young, he was very smart. He understood what was going on. He stopped hurriedly, with a glimmer of gratitude in his eyes, and said with cupped fists: "General Lin, thank you!"

 Lin Wanrong put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Why are you thanking me? Just remember to call me next time when you are fishing for lanterns. I also want to get to know more Miss Qianjin! Speaking of which, I guessed lantern riddles with others a few days ago and was bullied. It's really a shame that I didn't report your name."

 Li Wuling said: "That's right! In this capital, as long as you give me the name of Li Wuling, anyone will give me some face. The people who dare to bully my Li family haven't been born yet."

 Lin Wanrong laughed loudly. He had served in the army for many generations and had a great reputation. This boy was indeed qualified to be arrogant.

 The two of them competed in the school field and attracted the attention of many people. Xu Zhen saw the two of them chatting and laughing, and he admired him very much. General Lin was like a magnet, no matter who came close to him. , can't help but mingle with him.

 After finally sending away the little devil Li Wuling, Lin Wanrong secretly bared his teeth and said, "This little bastard, it's not a serious attack. I let you go with my kindness, but you kid only picks vulnerable places to kick." Although Li Wuling is young, Small, but somewhat powerful. If you take a few hits from him on purpose today, you can train a strong general for Dahua. It's not a waste of effort, Lin Wanrong comforted himself.

 Li Sheng, Du Xiuyuan, and Hu Bugui had already received Xu Zhen's report, and hid in the distance to watch General Lin train Li Wuling, and saw how he endured the pain. He walked over hurriedly, wanting to laugh but having to hold back.

 Seeing the three people in front of him, Lin Wanrong cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Brothers, long time no see. I wish you all a happy old age. I wish you all a happy old age and a happy life."

 Several people laughed together, and the four of them shook hands vigorously. Hu Bugui said: "General Lin, we just saw the fierce fight between Li Wuling and you on the school field. It was really a fight between a dragon and a tiger, and it was very exciting."

 Lin Wanrong laughed. He deliberately surrendered to Li Wuling and didn't feel anything wrong in his heart. These are all generals who have killed countless enemies. It comes out naturally. Everyone deliberately teased him, but the friendship between brothers was so close that no one would care about it.

 "Brothers, how are you doing at Jinghua College? What new things have you learned?" Lin Wanrong said with a smile.

 Hu Bugui shook his head and sighed: "I, Old Hu, have hated school since I was a child. The teacher who taught me how to read has changed a lot. I didn't expect that I would have to go back to school at such an age. It's really unexpected."

 Du Xiuyuan said: "That's true. You Hu Bugui spent countless times more time in the brothel than in the school. This school is naturally not as good as the brothel." Everyone laughed, and Hu Bugui blushed. But surprisingly there was no retort.

 Li Sheng smiled and said to Lin Wanrong: "General Lin, you don't know something. After Brother Hu came to Beijing, he got a concubine in a brothel. Now he is inseparable and is preparing money to redeem the sister!"

 Sweat, Lao Hu turns out to like this, which is comparable to the high chief's preference for mature women. Hu Bugui was a little embarrassed and looked at Lin Wanrong and said: "General Lin, did you also come to this academy to study? This is great. With your leadership, our brothers have learned a lot and will go to the front line in a month. Kill the shit out of those bastards."

 Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Brother Hu, I am sending people to the academy today, not here to study."

 Several people were stunned for a moment, and Du Xiuyuan said: "General Lin, why is this? Marshal Xu has already prepared a letter of recommendation. As soon as you arrive, tens of thousands of brothers in our right army will gather together again. When the time comes, go to the battlefield and kill Hu A man who has made great achievements is just around the corner. How can General Lin give up?"

 Lin Wanrong smiled lightly and said: "Brothers, in my capacity, does this military matter have anything to do with me?"

 As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. They were appreciated and promoted by Lin Wanrong, and after going through bloody battles, they were promoted from heads of hundreds of households to marquis of ten thousand households in a short period of time. Their love and gratitude for General Lin came from the bottom of their hearts, and they never thought about his identity. But General Lin was different from them. He had no military status, and he had no interest in joining the army, so he declined Marshal Xu's kindness several times to ask for credit for him. If he didn't want to go, no one could force him. They had seen General Lin's bloody nature with their own eyes, but they just couldn't understand why he was so negative at this time.

 Several people looked at each other and didn't know what to say. Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "I am just a layman with no ambitions. I never expect to make achievements. Please don't have too much hope in me."

 Several people glanced at each other. They had all seen General Lin's unique personality. He usually chatted and mingled with others, but at the critical moment, he had to say the same thing. To convince him, it would take time and opportunity. Maybe he would have to wait for Xu Wei to take action.

 Hu Bugui and others were studying here and took Lin Wanrong to visit their school. The Military Theory School was very spacious, with a huge sand table in the middle. Lin Wanrong took one look and was stunned.

 I saw that the roads, peaks, and rivers on this sand table were all made according to proportions. Even the city tower was built according to the real city wall. It was extremely exquisite and the height and length were extremely accurate. Compared with the military sand table that Lin Wanrong had seen in his previous life, the construction of this sand table was a bit rough, but in this era of cold weapons, it was really a great achievement to have such thinking and innovation and put it into practice.

 Du Xiuyuan saw Lin Wanrong's dazed expression and smiled: "General Lin, what do you think?"

 Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Brother Du, who built this sand table?"

 Du Xiuyuan said with envy on his face: "General Lin, if you don't believe it, it will make us and other men ashamed. This sandbox was actually made by a female gentleman in the academy. This female gentleman is not only good at playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, numbers, and calendars, but She is proficient in the art of war. It is said that General Li Tai often asked her for advice. This sand table was made by the female gentleman with great painstaking efforts. When we first saw it, we were all shocked. "

 Li Sheng interjected: "My Shenji Camp serial slave, this female gentleman has also modified it. The structure is more compact, but the power is greatly enhanced. Although we are men, we also admire this female gentleman very much."

 Female sir! Sand table! Serial killer! Needless to say, you already know who it is. How can that girl be so capable? Damn it, do you want me to take back those words? It's too difficult!

 A few people were talking, but Li Wuling over there pulled an old man with white beard and hair and a majestic expression over.

 When Hu Bugui and others saw the old man, their expressions became serious, and they hurriedly raised their fists and said respectfully: "See General Li!"

 General Li? Could this be the legendary Li Tai, the pillar of Dahua? Lin Wanrong raised his head and glanced, and saw that the old man had white hair and a beard, his forehead was full of wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but his face was red and full of energy. He walked with his eyes wide open and closed, and he had a majestic temperament.

 Li Wuling chuckled and said, "Grandpa. This is the Lin San I told you about. He said he has never heard of your name. If you don't believe me, ask him. I won't lie."

 Khan, this kid has no conscience, I have been playing with you for so long. But you dragged your parents to retaliate against me. Lin Wanrong hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Is this kind-faced and majestic man the legendary General Li Tai, who was feared by the barbarians?"

 Li Tai looked him up and down and suddenly said: "Are you the Lin San that Xu Wei said? I see that you have an ordinary appearance. I don't think you have any abilities. How can you lead an army to defeat Bai Lian?"

 Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "That's exactly what General Li said - ability is not something you can tell. It has nothing to do with appearance! That Pan Ankong has peerless appearance, but it is not as good as General Li's iron bones, leopard face and majesty. What's the use?"

 Li Tai stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Comparing me with Pan An is beyond your imagination. Let me ask you, what is the most important thing for an army leader?"

 Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Old general, can you not answer this question? I am not very knowledgeable. Even if I can answer it, I'm afraid I won't be able to satisfy you."

 Li Tai said with a straight face: "Just answer if you want to. Where does all this nonsense come from?"

 This old man is so straightforward. Lin Wanrong wanted to play some tricks but was exposed by him. At that moment, he smiled shamelessly and said: "The first thing to do when running an army is virtue. Without virtue, one loses military morale. Only by caring for the soldiers and being lenient Only when people are strict with themselves can they gather people's hearts and military orders can be carried out smoothly."

 Li Tai smiled and said: "You can talk in general terms, but how to gather people's hearts is a big question. Come and listen."

 "This is simple." Lin Wanrong said confidently: "Eat, live and walk together, treat each other like brothers and sisters, charge in front, enjoy in the back, cherish the lives of brothers, and learn to escape!"

 Hearing the latter sentence, Hu Bugui and others couldn't help laughing, and recalled General Lin's shocking remarks when Chuzhou was commanding the army. Li Taiqi said: "Learn to escape? What do you mean by this?"

 "Conserve your vitality, don't make unnecessary sacrifices, and learn to take your fist back and punch it out again." Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "Sometimes, running away is the only right choice."

 Li Tai did not comment, glared at him and said: "If you dare to make such remarks under my account, I will definitely deal with you first."

 This Li Tai had experienced hundreds of battles and served in the military all his life. He glared at him with such force that Hu Bugui and others did not dare to speak. Even Li Wuling, who had always been naughty and mischievous, became quiet. Lin Wanrong, however, was not afraid of him and said with a smile: " General Li has dealt with me, and I still have to do it. General Li is responsible for Dahua, but I am responsible for my brothers. Our starting points are different, and the methods of handling are naturally different."

 When everyone saw him arguing with General Li, they were secretly anxious. Hu Bugui secretly tugged on his clothes, and Lin Wanrong shook his head. Li Tai suddenly smiled and said: "You are young, but you have some ideas, which is rare! Xu Wei has repeatedly recommended you in front of me. It is indeed a bit unexpected to see you today. How about this, you come to my tent and I will arrange it You general, use whatever skills you have. If you lead the troops well, I will promote you to be the commander-in-chief. If you do not lead the troops well, you can just pack up and get out!"

 Hu Bugui and others were overjoyed. It turned out that Li Tai was interested in General Lin for questioning him so harshly. Going to the old general Li Tai's tent is the dream of countless soldiers in Dahua, which means great military exploits and countless glory. Li Tai directly asked General Lin to take the post of general under his account, which further showed that he valued him. Although Xu Wei's recommendation was indispensable, General Lin's own performance also accounted for a large proportion.

 Seeing Lin Wanrong in a daze, Du Xiuyuan hurriedly pulled him and said: "General Lin, General Lin——"

 "Oh?" Lin Wanrong woke up a little. When he saw Li Taizheng looking at him, he smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you General Li for your love. I'm just superficial and have no plans to join the army again. I'm afraid I will disappoint you."

 "What?" Li Tai snorted: "You don't want to come? Why, you are the commander-in-chief of Xu Wei's right army, but you don't want to be a general under me? Let me tell you, fighting the barbarians and annihilating Bailian are basically impossible. It's not the same thing, the barbarians are ten times more ferocious than Bai Lian, and they are definitely not comparable to a few thieves."

 Seeing that Li Tai's beard and hair were spread out and his aura was majestic, Li Wuling also hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said: "Lin San, it's rare that grandpa values you so much, so just agree. You are recommended by me!"

 Lin Wanrong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When did I become so popular? Even the pillar of the country wanted to invite me to serve as a soldier. If I didn't go, the old man would be extremely angry.

 Lin Wanrong said seriously: "General Li, I have never been interested in military affairs, and I have no intention of joining the army. This time I came to Beijing because I have other things to do! I hope the old general can forgive me!"

 "Nonsense! Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. As a five-foot-tall man, he has made great achievements at the same time. How can he be burdened by trivial matters? What can be better than the safety of my country?" Li Tai said angrily.

 How dare Lin Wanrong say that because I want to find a wife, I can't join the army. He knew his own business. The last time he was dragged by Xu Wei to destroy Bailian, he won consecutive battles purely by accident. Going to the front line to face the Hu people this time is not a ten-on-one battle like the one that wiped out Bai Lian. This is a bloody battle of life and death, and there is no possibility of opportunism. If he died in the battle, then it would be okay. At most, there would be a few more widows in the world. But if he harmed his brothers, it would be difficult to atone for his sins by dying.

 No one understood his mood. Looking at Lin Wanrong's firm shake of the head, Li Tai was disappointed and sighed: "Xu Wei has always had a unique vision, but this time he also missed the mark. What a pity, what a pity!"
