There are also three sets of plans in the formal order. Although they are generally the same, there are still some subtle differences. The Changqing Battalion also needs to conduct deductions on these plans in order to understand the battlefield situation in advance and think about countermeasures in the face of various emergencies. And so on.

On the battlefield, if these emergencies do arise, they will no longer be emergencies. Commanders at all levels can calmly come up with the best responses that have been deduced in advance to resolve them.

There were a lot of things coming down. Zhang Chengye kept tearing open each official letter bag, taking a look at the work content inside, and then handed it over to the appropriate person to take charge of. This process went on in an orderly manner, and one official document after another was assigned to different people.

In his hand. Now, Zhang Chengye scanned the things in his hand skillfully, and at the same time shouted Fu Tianjun's name. While he stretched out his right arm and handed it to Fu Tianjun who came forward, he raised his head and looked at the whole room.

The officer gave a briefing about it. Zhang Chengye immediately pressed his left hand on the next official envelope.

Zhang Chengye raised his left hand to bring another official letter to his eyes, and his right hand naturally went to tear the mouth of the bag. But the movement suddenly stopped. Zhang Chengye frowned, raised the bag higher, read the words written on the bag again from the beginning, and then

He looked up at Xu Ping with doubts on his face: "This order indicates that it is for Xu Ping, and it must be opened by Xu Ping."

Xu Ping was also shocked when he heard this. He took the official envelope from Zhang Chengye inexplicably, glanced at the order on the seal, and immediately opened it. There was only a thin piece of paper inside, and there was no map or information about troop strength, assignments, etc. Xu Ping

After taking out the paper and taking a look at it, my face turned red.

At this time, Wu Zhong beside him casually asked: "Is it an order about sending troops this time?"

"Ah, yes." Xu Ping agreed casually without having time to think about it, and was about to put the piece of paper into his arms, but saw Wu Zhong staring directly at him.

Wu Zhong looked a little surprised. He pointed at the paper in Xu Ping's hand and asked, "Won't Keqin give a briefing?"

"It's nothing important," Xu Ping waved the piece of paper in his hand and replied calmly, "It's a trivial matter."

"Since it is an order to dispatch troops this time," Wu Zhong looked at Xu Ping in confusion, then stared down at the piece of paper, and said: "The staff officers in Zainei have begun to notice the conversation between the two people, and they all looked at themselves.

Come over. Xu Ping turned his head again and saw Zhang Chengye had also stopped what he was doing and was looking at him majestically.

Xu Ping was already sweating profusely in an instant, and not only was his spine cold, but the sweat on his forehead also seeped out from under his skin. He cleared his throat and tried to speak when Zhang Chengye had already asked: "Master Hou gave it to you.

A confidential order?"

Xu Ping wanted to say "yes", but under Zhang Chengye's majestic gaze, he could not blurt out the word. At this time, Wu Zhong next to him was even more strange and asked: "Does it say in the order that this order - this is about sending troops?"

The order cannot be shown to other people in the camp?"

The word "yes" rolled in Xu Ping's throat, but there was no doubt that he had missed the best opportunity to express his affirmation, because Zhang Chengye had already stretched out his hand to Xu Ping: "If it's not, then give it to me."

Although Xu Ping tried to resist in his heart, long-term training in the army had formed a conditioned reflex, and his body instinctively responded to the superior's order. When he watched Zhang Chengye take the paper from his hand, Xu Ping's eyes

His heart was about to stop beating, and his brain was in chaos, but his body still stood upright, in the standard posture of an officer.

Zhang Chengye quickly glanced at the thin piece of paper and burst into hearty laughter: "Haha, it is indeed a small matter, but Master Hou really values ​​you."

After saying this, Zhang Chengye folded the piece of paper, stuffed it at the bottom of the other pile of official documents on his desk, and then continued his work. This incident seemed as if it had never happened. After hearing this, the others all asked Xu

Ping cast an envious glance. Although Zhang Chengye did not say it explicitly, everyone secretly speculated in their hearts that not everyone had the opportunity to receive personal encouragement from Zhendong Marquis before the war.

After all the work was arranged, the staff officers immediately retired to calculate specific matters such as marching, roads, consumption and transportation. Xu Ping walked slowly at the end, and after the officers had left the Chinese military tent, he returned

He came into the tent, walked carefully to Zhang Chengye's desk, and stood there without saying a word.

Zhang Chengye leaned on the back of his chair. The sixty-year-old general showed a hint of fatigue. He rubbed his eyes quietly for a while, drank some water, then sat upright and took out the piece of paper. But he did not immediately

He handed it to Xu Ping, but held it in his hand and read it again.

Zhang Chengye's voice was as dignified as ever, but Xu Ping noticed that he called his own number, not his official position: "Keqin, it is against military regulations to use the New Army's communication system to transmit private messages."

Xu Ping replied dejectedly: "The general will know."

"I know you know it very well, but it's not you who is violating the regulations. As for the person who wrote this letter," Zhang Chengye couldn't help but smile bitterly, stuffed the paper in his hand into the original bag, and put it in his own box: "She

She doesn't belong to the New Army, and I don't think the regulations can control her. If we really want to hold her accountable, I'm afraid she will have to go to the Marquis."

Xu Ping could only continue to remain silent.

"You did not deliberately conceal it, but reported this disciplinary letter to the superior officer - me, in accordance with military regulations. You did the right thing." Zhang Chengye said his final decision: "This general considered this disciplinary violation

It is not very urgent or serious, so it will not be reported to the military judge. I will report this letter and related circumstances directly to the Marquis."

Xu Ping lowered his head. Although Zhang Chengye's decision was the best for him, he still felt ashamed. Zhang Chengye stood up, walked around the table to Xu Ping, and patted his shoulder: "But not now.

, but wait until we return from sending troops this time, and then I will report this matter to the Marquis."

Xu Ping raised his head in emotion and thanked him from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you, Sir."

Zhang Chengye stroked his gray head and said to Xu Ping: "You know, I have been following Mr. Hou since I was thirty-five years old. It has been almost thirty years now. I have never asked for anything in these years."

When he said this, Zhang Chengye glanced at the Medal of Excellence on Xu Ping's chest, and seemed to recall some past events, but only for a moment. Zhang Chengye continued: "According to the regulations of the New Army, I should serve as an official after sixty-five.

Already."

Zhang Chengye knows very well that this may be the last time he leads the army. After he returns to the army, he will probably arrange a banquet. It will not be large, but it will be all old brothers. At the banquet, Huang Shi, who almost never drinks, will offer Zhang Chengye a glass of wine.

, thanking him for sharing weal and woe over the years. Zhang Chengye has attended similar banquets several times, and now it is finally his turn.

"I have worked hard for so many years," Zhang Chengye patted Xu Ping's shoulder. The pat was as heavy as a cannon in the military camp: "Work hard, young man, and I will do it for you if you have some words."

Said."

"Yes." Xu Ping responded solemnly. His gratitude was heavier than all the cannons put together. "I will retire at the end."

Zhang Chengye asked: "Where are you going?"

Xu Ping replied loudly: "Go and deduce the battle situation with your colleagues."

"I didn't assign you any tasks." Zhang Chengye didn't assign any tasks to Xu Ping just now, which made Xu Ping feel very uneasy. Zhang Chengye sat back on his chair and said with a smile: "Go quickly and protect Mr. Hou."

family."

…

When he saw Miss Huang's smile again, all the uneasiness in Xu Ping's heart disappeared without a trace. In the past, Miss Huang was too bored to sit still at home, so she would go out to the streets to relax every few days. These days, it's time every day

He slipped out and finally attracted Mrs. Huang's attention, so she forbade her daughter from leaving the house.

After understanding the whole story, Xu Ping apologized repeatedly and asked, "How can I come out today?"

Miss Huang replied in a matter-of-fact tone: "My father is back from Shandong."

"Why did the lady remember to give me the official letter?"

"My mother took away my armor, so I couldn't sneak into the military camp." Miss Huang replied: "Yesterday, my father had a lot of official work and was writing official documents all day long. I helped him organize the whole day, and by the way

I wrote a letter to you."

"It's also stamped with the seal of Prime Minister of Military Training?"

"Yes." Miss Huang replied with a clear face. Huang Shi was very busy yesterday. It was rare that his daughter was particularly enthusiastic and helped in the study for a whole day. Most of the official bags were sealed by Miss Huang. Huang Shi also praised him greatly for this.

She knows how to help her parents.

"Then come together with the order to the Evergreen Camp?"

"Yes." Miss Huang felt a little uncomfortable when Xu Ping looked at her, and her voice became deeper: "My father happened to have a batch of official documents sent to your camp, so I put my letter in it."

Miss Huang wanted to see Xu Ping for two reasons. One was to give him a gift, and the other was to secretly tell him the good news. As soon as Huang Shi came back yesterday, Yang Zhiyuan went to the Hou Mansion to report on the new army's drills, and Jin Qiude

Then came to file a complaint - a complaint against Xu Ping: Others may not know about Xu Ping's unauthorized modification of the deduction rules, but to Jin Qiude, this is not a secret at all. He said that Huang Shi's beating on Xu Ping was not enough at all, and Xu Ping

Didn't learn a lesson at all.

At that time, Miss Huang was hiding outside the study door and eavesdropping, and heard her father being noncommittal about Jin Qiude's opinion. After Jin Qiude left, Huang Shi discussed Xu Ping with Yang Zhiyuan: "What do you think of Xu Ping?"

Yang Zhiyuan immediately replied: "A very good young man. He ranked first in all assessments of the teaching team. This can only be said to be talented. But after taking office in Xiaomuying, he acted vigorously and resolutely. This time he performed outstandingly in Xiaomuying.

The general believed that the combat effectiveness had surpassed Shuiying and Muying. Of course, this was mainly due to Zhang Chengye, but after careful questioning, Xu Ping also played a big role. He helped Zhang Chengye correct the deficiencies in the regulations, and even more

The report was compiled quickly. The most rare thing is that when Xu Ping participated in various modifications, he had carefully considered and carefully tested them. However, many people in the New Army did not like Xu Ping, and by the way, Zhang Chengye also suffered. Xiaomu Camp worked hard

All the other camps except Xiaotu Camp (Shanlan Camp) are not willing to promote what they have compiled. They all say that Xu Ping is arrogant and dares to change your regulations before his hair is completely gone. This is really nonsense."

"Like what?"

"For example, Zhang Chengye improved the rules of queue rotation training in Xiaomu Camp. This was completed with Xu Ping's assistance. The acting effect was good, so his subordinates asked Xiaomu Camp to send officers to other battalions to demonstrate. As a result, they were ridiculed by other battalions, especially

It’s that Mr. Yu Shenhe Qian, because he is close to Xu Ping, he is not a disciple of the generals, and he is ridiculed as a flatterer."

"With Brother Yang's good popularity, can't this matter be solved?"

"If it were just a few individuals, it would be easy to handle. But almost all the battalion officers are doing it in disguise, which makes it very difficult. Many people are very jealous of Xu Ping and resent Zhang Chengye for choosing this child to be an adjutant instead of their son.

I was very dissatisfied. Even Brother He had complained about his disciples in words these days. After his subordinates ordered to promote the training regulations of Xiaomu Camp, seven battalion officers went together to complain to Brother He. As a result, Brother He came specially to talk to him.

The subordinates said that the promotion order was cancelled. Xu Ping has a very aloof temperament. He is aware of this but refuses to flatter him, and he does not like to form cliques. In short, he has never suffered setbacks or hardships, and he still does not understand.

How to work with people.”

Miss Huang couldn't see her father's expression, but Huang Shi's voice sounded very emotional: "There are indeed many ills in the new army. Our regulations apply to Changsheng but may not apply to Funing, and what applies to Funing may not apply to Xin."

Army. Don’t talk about the regulations, just say that this young man is an official. If I don’t agree with you, the people below will definitely say that I am mean and ungrateful, and I don’t care about old friendship at all. However, among so many young men, there are not many who are really promising."

Then Yang Zhiyuan's somewhat apologetic voice said: "Sir, I am ashamed."

"I said I won't let you down, and besides, your boss can be considered a promising one." Huang Shi's voice brought more irritation: "Also, that boy from Jin Qiude is obviously quite suitable for leadership.

Naoe, but every time I say that I want to give him the command of Naoe, the father and son both refuse with all their might. Alas, it’s really troublesome... Speaking of which, why are these battalions so poorly trained?"

"The reason is the same. The training team trains the soldiers very well. The problem lies with those generals. Each battalion reuses the children of acquaintances instead of the outstanding students of the teaching team. Some people are unwilling to work hard.

When it comes to practical work, the favor of father and brother is there, and Shangfeng turns a blind eye or closes one eye, which results in ruining the atmosphere. For example, in Xiaojinying, the subordinates felt that Brother He's second son was simply incompetent, and his brother

One is in the sky, the other is on the ground. They are all pampered guys who cannot bear hardships. They refuse to live with the soldiers in the military camp at night. They always rush to return home to the capital before the city gate closes. They ask for leave every three days.
