Chapter 101 Guan Mou is familiar with military books
After coming out of his sister-in-law's room, Shen Changgong felt refreshed, his body was active, and he was full of energy and enthusiasm.
It’s just a pity for my sister-in-law, she couldn’t recover for a long time.
As soon as she walked out of the courtyard gate, she saw Tu Queling looking at her leisurely. She first glanced at the courtyard gate behind her, then glanced at Shen Changgong, and then pretended that she saw nothing and followed Shen Changgong.
Oh man.
No wonder he was so anxious when I kidnapped his sister-in-law last time and beat me up.
It turns out that this sister-in-law is his woman.
No wonder, with such a beautiful, shy and lovely sister-in-law at home, which man would not be moved?
Shen Changgong now had a lot of things to worry about. He first sent people to continue collecting saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal and other items, then sent people to settle the central army, and finally rode a horse to the security army camp.
As soon as we arrived at the security army camp, we saw many soldiers gathered in a circle, shouting and cheering loudly.
Shen Changgong was curious and rode over. He saw Zhang Yide, with a full beard and bare chest, fighting and wrestling with a bearded man in the middle of the crowd.
The two men fought fiercely, wrestling and launching surprise attacks on each other.
Both of them were very powerful, and their punches hit the flesh, making the fight difficult to tell.
Zhang Yide's combat effectiveness is the strongest among the five centurions. The last time he faced Shen Changgong, it was because Shen Changgong attacked suddenly, and he was too familiar with the weak points of the enemy and how to quickly make the enemy lose their combat effectiveness. As a result, he was careless and was defeated.
Anyone who underestimates Zhang Yide will suffer a great loss.
However, the bearded man was able to easily surpass Zhang Yide in both strength and martial arts, and he seemed to be doing it with ease.
This exciting battle drew cheers from the people around.
Finally, the bearded man took advantage of Zhang Yide's greatest effort to push forward, suddenly pulled him back, and then quickly dodged to the right. Zhang Yide was pulled forward by the double force of the other party and himself, and suddenly fell to the ground, falling flat on his face.
Zhang Yide stood up, roared in anger, and punched the other party.
The man was not at a disadvantage either. He also exerted force from his waist and punched out, hitting Zhang Yide's fist hard and knocking him to the ground.
The man shouted coldly,
"I only used 70% of my strength in that punch just now. If you keep pestering me, I'll use 100%!"
"I don't accept it. If you come again, you can knock me down!"
"But you've already fallen down several times."
"If you have the guts, beat me so hard that I can't stand up!"
"Zhang Yide! Stop messing around!"
Shen Changgong shouted loudly, and Zhang Yide immediately dared not say a word when he saw this.
He rode over and the security forces immediately gave up their positions.
When the bearded man saw Shen Changgong wearing a dragon robe and looking elegant, he almost guessed who this person was.
But since no one else said anything, he himself did not want to speculate rashly, so he asked,
"May I ask who you are?"
Shen Changgong smiled, dismounted, and said,
"You ran into my security army camp and attacked my captain. Don't you know who I am?"
Hearing this, the bearded man knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together and said,
"I pay my respects to the great judge of Lanling!"
The fact that Shen Changgong was crowned king yesterday was announced to the world along with a large number of imperial edicts, so the people in the capital all knew that the Grand Commandant of the Security Army, the emperor's husband, collected evidence of the crimes of the powerful and wealthy and arrested them all.
He was also crowned king, named Lanling King, and the people consciously gave him a resounding nickname, Lanling Daqingtian.
However, Shen Changgong heard this name for the first time and found it a bit funny. He laughed and said,
"Stand up, this brave man has come to my security camp, but do you have any grievances to complain about?"
"I have no grievances. I have come to seek refuge with you, Your Highness."
"Depart? Do you want to join the army?"
Shen Changgong waved to him and then walked towards the lobby of the Duwei Mansion.
"Tea."
Shen Changgong sat in the main seat, and the bearded man also walked in, looking a little at a loss.
"Please take a seat, strong man."
Shen Changgong pointed to the chair next to him.
The man with a long beard sat down, somewhat confused about what Shen Changgong meant.
Shen Changgong asked,
"Yesterday I issued an order to recruit new soldiers near the capital to fill the vacancies in the central army. Since you are so willing to serve your country, why don't you sign up to join the army?"
Longbeard said,
"If I were to sign up for the army and start as a private, it would be a waste of time.
I have studied military books and practiced martial arts since I was young, challenging masters from all walks of life and finding no rival.
You are born to be a general or a commander. If you become a soldier, how can you get promoted or realize your ambition even if you kill hundreds or thousands of people?
What's more, there are many factions in the military, and nepotism and family background are more important than ability. As an ordinary citizen, I have no hope of promotion in my life.
I used to be in the army, but I couldn't stand the chaotic atmosphere in the army, so I retired and made a living by performing acrobatics and sword dancing in the capital.
Yesterday I saw the court notice and learned that Your Highness has single-handedly overthrown the powerful military officials who hold military power and replaced them with a young and promising general who is also a good official who speaks for the people.
I am fascinated by the prince, so I came to visit him today. Firstly, I want the prince to see my abilities.
Secondly, I want to get a job through the prince. As long as the prince doesn't abandon me, I am willing to lead the horse and hold the stool for the prince, and be a vanguard!"
After hearing this, Zhang Yide, who was standing by, immediately followed suit and expressed his loyalty.
"My Lord, I am the same!"
"You're just as shit."
Shen Changgong rolled his eyes at him, then looked down at his long beard and said,
"I have seen your martial arts skills, and they are indeed quite good. What is your name, and where are you from?"
"My name is Guan Shouchang, and I'm from Hedong!"
Shen Changgong's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Guan Shouchang and then at Zhang Yide.
Is this really a coincidence?
If another Liu Xuande came, wouldn’t he kick me out and become the king himself?
However, looking at the other person's name, Shen Changgong had already labeled him as "loyal and righteous" in his heart.
There is no way, I was too deeply influenced by the Marquis of Han Shou Ting in my previous life.
"Guan Shouchang, you have to know that leading troops in battle is not just about fighting.
How to deploy troops, how to deal with enemy attacks, how to deploy defenses while marching, and how to respond quickly to sneak attacks.
How will the troops set up camp, how many miles will they march every day, how much food and grass will they consume, how much food will the transport team consume each time, and how much food can they deliver.
There are so many trivial matters in military affairs. Do you understand them all?"
"I'm well-versed in military books and understand all of this. Even without actual combat experience, I only need some practice to become competent. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, feel free to test me!"
