Chapter 467 Dad Doesn't Keep His Word

"How about waiting for another two years, and then Dad will give you reinforcements?" Lü Bocheng looked like he was negotiating.

But the two sons didn't buy it: "Dad, how can you cheat!"

Dabao also said: "Dad, the general's words are irreversible. You told me and my brother that after this battle, we can replenish the troops. My brother and I have worked so hard, and you broke your promise again."

"Yes, Dad, you are a great general, how can you lie to a child!"

Lü Bocheng laughed when he heard it.

Dabao glared at Xiaobao when he heard it.

What child! Dad would not give them reinforcements when he heard it.

Xiaobao reacted and pulled his father's arm, begging and nagging.

Lü Bocheng had a headache.

"One hundred people form a guerrilla, and you two are now little guerrillas. Do you see such young guerrillas in the army?"

"That's because my brother and I are better than them!" Xiaobao was quite complacent.

Who is like him, learning boxing at the age of three or four. When other kids are playing, he is squatting, okay?

Dabao looked at Lv Bocheng's face, and didn't want his father to be too difficult. After thinking for a while, he said, "Dad, why don't you let the generals pick first, and my brother and I will pick the remaining ones?"

Xiaobao was dissatisfied and looked at his brother with a pout. Why did he pick up the leftovers of others?

Dabao winked at him. If he didn't say that, there would be no leftovers from others. Xiaobao also understood. Okay. The leftovers of others are better than nothing.

Nodding to Lv Bocheng: "Okay, then Dad, let them pick first, and my brother and I will pick the remaining ones. This time, my brother and I will pick four more cities, and five cities form a battalion. I must be a battalion commander anyway."

"You still want to be a battalion commander? Tsk tsk." Lv Bocheng smacked his lips at his youngest son. Although he is young, he has great ambitions.

Xiaobao was very dissatisfied with his father. What's the expression on his father's face? He can't be a battalion commander?

But he didn't dare to go against his father, and he was afraid that his father would have a hard time.

In the end, all the generals replenished their troops, and the brothers did not despise the remaining old and weak soldiers, and they all received them under their command.

First replenish the troops, then train the combat effectiveness. You must have people first, without people, you can't do anything.

Only with people can you train the soldiers. Only when the soldiers are brought out can they have more possibilities.

The two brothers expanded their team to the strength of three divisions. Although it was not enough for a battalion, they were satisfied.

Lu Bocheng watched his two sons take these old and weak soldiers who were left by other generals out for training every day, and he was very interested in taking a group of generals and men to watch the fun.

Every day before dawn, the two sons took them to train. In the evening, other battalions had finished training, but they were still training.

The two sons were like children who got new toys, reluctant to let go, and very active.

Lu Bocheng was simply laughing and crying.

"You are still not satisfied. Look at your two sons. They are so young, but they are already training soldiers. They are doing it well. It has only been a few days, and all the subordinates know how to obey orders. I believe it won't be long before these two boys can win people's hearts. In time, the disciple will surpass the master, and my Zhenhai Army will have two more tiger generals."

"That's right, General, you are still not satisfied. How can these not be my sons? I am jealous."

Several generals stood beside Lu Bocheng and watched Dabao and Xiaobao train a group of subordinates with him. Although the methods were a bit immature, they were in good shape.

Of course, Lu Bocheng was happy in his heart, but could he show it?

No.

Only when he showed that he looked down on his two sons, other generals would not be able to stand it and would be willing to protect them.

After Caozhou was captured, Lu Bocheng and his subordinates breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of the fact that the war between Liang and Jin around Wei Bo was in full swing and fierce, many forces were secretly planning to do something, but Lü Bocheng had no intention of participating.

But he took advantage of the fact that the main forces of Jin and Liang were fighting around Wei Bo and decided to lead his army to capture the cities around Xuzhou to clear the obstacles for Xuzhou.

The 30,000 soldiers who surrendered from Wei Bo performed outstandingly in the battle of Caozhou this time and won the trust of Lü Bocheng.

Seeing that Wu was quietly heading north while taking advantage of the war between Jin and Liang, Lü Bocheng immediately made a decision and sent Lu Qi to lead 30,000 troops to attack Songzhou around Wu.

Songzhou was to the east of Wu and adjacent to Xuzhou to the west. While most of Wu's troops were heading north, Songzhou was taken first.

He himself led his troops to attack Jizhou, another Zhoucheng next to Xuzhou.

In this way, Xuzhou was surrounded by Cao, Song and Jizhou, which could ensure the safety of Xuzhou, the center of Zhenhai.

There were frequent reports of victory ahead, and Cao, Song, and Ji states were successively captured by the Zhenhai Army.

The great victory reports were posted on the notice wall outside the Xuzhou government office. The people of Xuzhou gathered in three layers to watch, listening to the officers reading the words on the notice and the news of the great victory ahead. The people cheered loudly.

"The Zhenhai Army is mighty!"

"The Jiedushi is mighty!"

Pei Xi stood at the gate of the government office, looking at the crowds of people coming to watch, stroking his beard, and his heart was like drinking honey.

Now all the vassal towns around Wei Bo have been captured by the Jin army, and the Liang army has retreated to the Central Plains. The Jin army crossed the Yellow River and began its journey southward.

I heard that the adults are ready to lead the troops back to Xuzhou.

That's good. He was originally worried that the adults would bring a large army to interfere in the battle between Jin and Liang for the imperial power in the Central Plains. Hearing that the Wu Kingdom had already mixed in, Pei Xi was originally worried.

Now I heard that you are going to lead the troops back, I am relieved.

Whoever wants to sit on the throne of the Central Plains can sit on it.

Conquering one area in Zhenhai and developing the other is currently the best strategy. Don't be impatient.

Just as Pei Shi was about to turn around and enter the Yamen, he saw Wu Xiu also in the crowd, followed by two men, talking to each other like aides. Pei Shi frowned.

Seeing that Wu Xiu didn't see him, Pei Shi ignored him and turned around and entered the Yamen.

Now that Caozhou, Jizhou, and Songzhou have been won, he still needs to check the evaluation, appointment and removal of officials in the three cities, and he cannot be ignored. He was very busy and had no time to deal with old matters from the past.

Su Qingyu was looking through the account books of the seafood workshop brought back by Xiang Shang.

It has only been open for a few months, and the value of goods sold every month is tens of thousands of taels.

Su Qingyu was very pleased. I heard that the Haizhou governor also reported to Pei Shi that the Haizhou Yamen's warehouse finally saw money. He was so happy that the Haizhou governor couldn't wait to visit the warehouse every day.

"It's very good. The growth momentum is quite strong."

Xiang Shang nodded: "Master Qingyang built a pier in the sea area of ​​​​Leshan Village. It was originally just for fishing boats from nearby villages to dock, but now there are not enough berths, and the pier has been expanded several times. Now the wasteland of Leshan Village is being sold at a high price. I bought it and planned to use it to build a workshop and warehouse.”

"Isn't Village Chief Zou going to be very happy?"

"No, Village Chief Zou is happy every day. He is surrounded by a bunch of people and compliments, and he has gained weight again. Now every family in Leshan Village has bought a fishing boat, and every family has hired small workers. Chief Leshan Village The first time he saw me return to Xuzhou, he forced me to bring a lot of overseas goods to my wife. "

"Village Chief Zou is interested. Next time you see him, thank him for me."

"yes."

Su Qingnao looked at the income from the workshop and shop and felt satisfied.
