Following Lu Yi's work outside, he has never been ignored like this before, and Cen Fu's expression is not very good-looking.
"Two adults, please come with me to eat first."
The young sergeant who was called Xiangzi was still young, and he only knew that Lu Yi was a fluke, but he didn't know what his identity was, and he led them to dinner. The food was not ordered to be cooked in the kitchen, but was cooked from the large stove. It was very rough, but it was finally full of meat and vegetables, and it was no different from ordinary officers and soldiers.
Cen Fu himself was not picky, but seeing Lu Yi eating such coarse food, he couldn't help but feel very angry. But due to Lu Yi's prior instructions, it didn't happen.
"Little brother, I don't think you are very old, how can you be so reused by General Yu?" Lu Yi took a few bites, and Wen Yan asked Xiangzi, a young sergeant standing beside him.
After all, he was still a child. Hearing Lu Yi said that he was used by the generals, Xiangzi felt very useful. He braced his chest and replied, "Reporting to your lord, it's not a small job anymore."
Lu Yi looked at him amusingly: "What is it?"
"Returning to the adults, the humble position is a pig."
This time even Cen Fu laughed: "I'm only fourteen years old, and I said that I'm not too young."
"Reporting to my lord, I'm not too young to be fourteen years old. The general said that in two years, I'll let the lowly post on board and learn how to use firearms." Xiangzi's face lit up when he said this.
Lu Yi asked with a smile, "Why, do you like firearms?"
Xiangzi nodded again and again.
"Follow your general to study hard, maybe there will be a chance in the future, and you will be able to enter the Shenji Camp." Lu Yi smiled.
Xiangzi shook his head again and again: "I follow General Yu in my humble position, and I won't go anywhere."
Cen Fu smiled and shook his head and said to Lu Yi, "Really is still a child."
Seeing that they were almost finished, Xiangzi asked Master Kitchen Kitchen to prepare another lunch box for himself: "The general has just returned, and he hasn't eaten yet."
Seeing that the food in the box was the same as what they had eaten, Cen Fu couldn't help but ask, "General Yu also eats this meal?"
Shoko nodded of course.
He didn't expect that Yu Dayou would really share weal and woe with the soldiers, Cen Fu looked at Lu Yi, who just smiled lightly, not surprised.
After eating, Xiangzi took them to the place where they were, and without helping with the resettlement, he rushed to deliver food to Yu Dayou, trotting all the way.
"This child..." Cen Fu shook his head, looked at the room with his eyes, and sighed again, "Eldest son, if you go outside, I'll put the house in order first, and then come back."
The house is very rudimentary, with only simple furniture, four walls of earth, and no decoration.
Lu Yi didn't mind: "No, it's natural to keep things simple in the army."
Cen Fu used a copper basin to pour water for Lu Yi to clean his face and hands, which made him much calmer than Cen Shou, but he was also a little angry at this time: "Leave us aside, this General Yu is such a big shelf, speaking of it, eldest son You have the same rank as him, what kind of prestige is he playing in front of us!"
The well water that was called was cold and refreshing, and the cloth towel covering his face was not cool. After a while, Lu Yi took off the cloth towel and said, "Although he is a fourth-rank official, he has military power in his hand, and he is indeed more important than me. too much."
"Then he can't bully people like that!" Cen Fu said, "Look at the way he was sending us outside the tent."
"Go through Yu Dayou's information again," Lu Yi sighed. "If he is a person who is tactful and good at dancing, he won't be in charge of so many busy affairs over the years, and he will be regulated so many times, and he will suffer so much loss."
Yu Dayou, courtesy name Zhifu, also courtesy name Xunyao, number Xujiang, Fujian 123 lover. In the 14th year of Jiajing, he was appointed as a thousand households to guard the Golden Gate; in the 21st year of Jiajing, he was promoted to the commander of the department; in the 35th year of Jiajing, he was promoted to the governor of the governor and the governor of the Dayou Department. .
However, compared with his experience of promotion, his experience of losing in officialdom is richer.
Kong has the ability to lead a soldier to learn, but he cannot be reused. From the earliest days, Mao Bowen, Minister of War, admired him very much and praised him, but did not use him; later Mao Bowen recommended him to Zhai Peng, the governor of Xuanda, who also admired him very much, but still did not use him. Later, in the great victory of Wang Jiangjing, he obviously won the battle, took credit for others, and demoted him; then he participated in the pursuit of Hu Zongxian. Although he was defeated, he tried his best to be very heroic, but the final result was that he was removed by the sage. The family inherited hundreds of households, and ordered them to keep themselves safe, otherwise they would be beheaded to show the public... It can be said that in the fourteen years of Jiajing, Yu Dayou suffered countless losses in the official circles and took countless black culprits.
"It's the same for us all, but it's conceivable that this person won't be able to eat in the officialdom, and it's no wonder that he won't be punished." Cen Fu looked around the house, although it was clean, it was indeed very simple, "He can still lead troops now. I feel weird about fighting."
"He can lead troops to fight now because he really has talent."
Lu Yi threw the towel to Cen Fu, who was still looking at the house.
Cen Fu put the towel on the rack to dry, turned around and asked, "Is he a Hu Zongxian?"
"I'm afraid no one is counted." Lu Yi turned his head and thought for a moment, "It's not easy for you to find someone who doesn't have a faction now in the courtroom, so let's count him as one. You think, Wang Jiangjing's victory, he cooperated with Zhang Jing, was recognized by Zhao Wenhua as Zhang Jing, and he was dismissed as an official; not long after he participated in the pursuit of Hu Zongxian, he was recognized by Governor Cao as Hu Zongxian's person... After winning, he was demoted, If he lost the blame, would you do this kind of thing?"
Cen Fu smiled and said, "Ask oneself in a humble position, this is not comparable to General Yu."
"It's not just you, I'm afraid I can't do it either." Lu Yi said, "...I heard that he is very skilled in martial arts and is good at Jingchu swords. If there is a chance to learn from each other, it would be a pleasure."
"Right now, Cen Gang has not been captured. I'm afraid he is not in the mood to discuss with you, the eldest son." Cen Fu said.
In fact, not only was Yu Dayou not in the mood, he couldn't even take time out. He was busy with military affairs. After two days, the sergeant led Lu Yi into the army tent after being notified.
"General Qi, Lu Yanshi has been brought here." The sergeant replied to Yu Dayou, who was bowing his head to cook rice.
Although he had imagined before that the lieutenant general was busy in the war and might be sloppy, but seeing the general Yu Dayou in front of him, Lu Yi was still slightly startled. Yu Dayou was still in the same attire that he had just returned to the camp before. Change, the face has not been washed, even the blood stained on the neck is still there, but it has solidified and crusted.
Yu Dayou didn't get up, waved the sergeant to go out, and waved again for Lu Yi to sit down, extremely casual.
"Wait a moment, I'll eat first." He said to Lu Yi while chewing.
Lu Yi said: "General please, I'm not in a hurry."
Yu Dayou really ignored him, and immediately ate his meal, including vegetables and rice, and swallowed the soup with water, as if he had not eaten for three years. Lu Yi couldn't bear to even look at it, but when he lowered his eyes, he could still hear the movement of his meal, which was really sad.
After all, this process was not long. After a while, the tent returned to calm. Yu Dayou pushed the tableware and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and smiled reluctantly at Lu Yi, saying: "Laughing! We are marching and fighting people. , I don't have the last meal, I'm not used to chewing slowly. You can see that the weather is getting warmer now. When it's cold, the mutton rice will be covered with white mutton oil as soon as it comes out of the pot, and the rice is delicious , suffer more than chewing wax."
Lu Yi smiled lightly: "I tried this taste when I was outside the customs before."
I always thought that he was a young master who stayed in the capital, but he never thought that he had been outside the customs. Yu Dayu paused and gave him another look.
"I don't know how it was explained in Dudu Hu's letter," Lu Yi also looked at him and said, "Although Yan Yuan is not talented, but this time in the army, I hope to do a little bit."
Yu Dayou laughed dryly: "You are a noble person, and the governor also explained it, so..."
His hand pointed to the small blue-and-white vat next to the table, which was densely filled with various combat maps and files. He waved his hand again, and the bookshelf behind the table was piled with layers of materials, battle reports, orders, etc. Wait.
"The Governor has sent a message to let me cooperate with Lu Yu's affairs. I will naturally not violate the order. All the combat materials since Zhoushan are here. Please check Lu Yu's affairs carefully." Yu Dayou stood up, thought about it, and then continued. Said, "The battle meeting in the future, if Lu Yanshi is interested, I will also send someone to invite you to attend."
Lu Yi was about to speak, but Yu Dayou had already stood up and threw his hands at him: "Look at the matter of Lu Yu slowly, I have military affairs, and I have to go on a boat. I can't accompany you, please forgive me."
"...General please." Lu Yi could only say.
Without a word of unnecessary words, Yu Dayou strode out of the tent, signaling Xiangzi to be optimistic about Lu Yi. Inside the tent, Lu Yi smiled bitterly for a moment, secretly thinking that Hu Zongxian's letter was a disservice. Yu Dayou obviously thought he was here to supervise the army.
He got up, took out a map from the blue-and-white vat, spread it out on the table, and took a closer look...
The next morning, after returning to the tent, Yu Dayou saw Xiangzi leaning on the chair and sleeping soundly, so he stepped forward and woke him up.
"...General, general, you're back..." Xiangzi rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked around, "What about Lu Yan?"
Yu Dayou frowned and said, "How come you can't even look down on yourself?"
"I kept looking at him, Lu Yanshi was here all night, and then I..." Xiangzi said angrily, "I was probably too sleepy, so I fell asleep."
"He's been here all night?"
"Yeah, he said he wanted to know the situation of the war with the Japanese pirates as soon as possible, so he spent the whole night looking at these things. I advised him to rest, but he just said he was not tired." Xiangzi said, "Why don't I go to his house and take a look. , maybe he has gone back to rest."
Yu Dayou walked to the table, and his eyes slowly swept across the table. There were many documents in the dossier without being cluttered. On the top was the naval battle map of Cen Gang...
"Did he ask you anything?"
"I asked some more, but they were all trivial things. Ask me how old I am and where my hometown is, and I will tell you the truth." Xiangzi examined Yu Dayou's face carefully, "...General, can't you tell me?"
"Anything else?"
"Others..." Xiangzi tried to recall, and finally shook his head, "No more."
Yu Dayou thought about it for a moment, thinking that Lu Yi was Jin Yiwei after all, and if he wanted to investigate something, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so straightforward.
**************************************************** *********************
Even after staying up all night, Lu Yi returned to the house, tired but not sleepy. Looking at the data of the night, Cen Gang's situation was a bit worse than he expected.
Cengang is rugged and narrow, with complex terrain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack; not to mention Mao Haifeng's fight against beasts, putting his life and death aside, and in the spring flood season, many new Japanese reinforced Cengang, the whole battle situation is extremely unfavorable for the Ming army. Presumably Hu Zongxian put a lot of pressure on Yu Dayou, otherwise Yu Dayou would not take the risk of attacking the Japanese pirates.
Cen Fu persuaded him to rest for a while, Lu Yi always thought about the coastal defense map, washed his face with cold water, washed his tired face, changed into half-old clothes, and thought about going to the boat to have a look, preferably outside the port of Cen Circle around. The land battle is so difficult, and if you attack from the sea, you may be able to turn around.
The two walked through the barracks all the way, and even though Lu Yi was wearing an ordinary robe and not wearing a flying fish suit, he was still looked at by the officers and soldiers around him. Jin Yiwei is not welcome, he has always known, but the eyes of the officers and soldiers are different from the eyes of the common people. Their disgust is almost undisguised, and they will not deliberately avoid it.
Walking near the camp gate, I saw a number of people riding flying horses, wearing the flying fish clothes of Jinyiwei. The leader turned over and dismounted from the horse, stood at the camp gate, and ordered the sergeant to notify Yu Dayou to come and receive the order quickly.
Hearing that an imperial decree was coming, the sergeant rushed to report, and Yu Dayou quickly greeted him and knelt down to receive the decree.
"...Zhejiang Chief Soldier Yu Dayou, the battle is unfavorable, the deadline is one month, and he must take Cen Gang! If he does not take it when it expires, all below the Chief Soldier will be dismissed for investigation!" Jin Yiwei said loudly.
"The minister accepts the order."
Yu Dayou took the imperial decree, and his already black face had an extra layer of frost.
