Chapter 357 Unity is Important
"That won't do!" Ji Ping refused without hesitation. He looked at Lu Xueyin with a sincere look in his eyes and said aggrievedly, "Sir, I need Zhang Heng too."
With Zhang Heng around, he could rest assured that all the paperwork was handled by someone else.
With Zhang Heng around, Ji Ping's life in the army was like a duck in water. He only needed to train the soldiers, and all the miscellaneous work was taken care of by others. It was a wonderful life.
Ji Ping felt that Zhang Heng's importance to him was second only to Lu Xueyin.
Lu Xueyin looked at Qian Yue and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Qian, look at this..."
Qian Yue was upset. They were all subordinates, so what was they fighting for? Wasn't it all about the lord's attention? What was wrong with him? Was it his lack of ability or loyalty? How could he not be as important to the lord as Ji Ping? And he really needed Zhang Heng!
Qian Yue also said seriously: "Sir, I really need a reliable person to help me. Zhang Heng is the best candidate." He looked at Ji Ping and said: "General Ji, Zhang Heng is under your command. At most, he can do the accounting. But these trivial matters, the general can handle it himself. I heard that in the study class you opened in the army, General Ji is always late and leaves early, and he doesn't study seriously. If the general is more serious, the paperwork will be handled by General Ji himself. Why don't you let him give me the job?"
Lu Xueyin has always attached great importance to education. This is not just for the common people, but also for the soldiers in the army. Therefore, there have always been study classes in the army, where students learn to read and practice military tactics. Learning is always a good thing, isn't it?
But Lu Xueyin didn't expect that Ji Ping would be so lazy!
She looked at Ji Ping unkindly: "You're late and leave early? And you dare not go? Ji Ping, is this how you study?"
Ji Ping opened his mouth, but Lu Xueyin was already angry: "So you want to slack off?! Okay, Mr. Qian, Zhang Heng will stay here for you!" She also glanced at Ji Ping and said: "From today on, you will study hard. You have so much knowledge, and you dare to skip school? You are so arrogant."
Ji Ping was scolded, and seeing that Lu Xueyin was really angry, he had no choice but to answer honestly: "Yes."
Ji Ping’s tragic experience tells us that if we don’t study hard, the lord will really be angry.
However, Qian Yue was too cunning! He actually complained!
Qian Yue thought for a moment and said, "General Ji, although I have robbed your men, I will not treat you unfairly. When the Tatar war horses arrive, I will first give General Ji a thousand." He looked at Lu Xueyin and said, "Please agree to this, sir."
Ji Ping's eyes lit up. The first batch of war horses would of course be delivered to Lu Xueyin's personal soldiers. And then there was Yan Xing, who was also eyeing them covetously. It wasn't certain whether he could get one. He might have to wait until the second batch of war horses arrived.
Now that Qian Yue said this, Ji Ping was of course overjoyed.
Lu Xueyin smiled and said, "Okay, I agree." Is this also for the unity of subordinates?
It's not easy to be a lord.
Lu Xueyin glanced at Zu Xingwei again and said, "General Zu, you have done a good job this time. You will be the commander of the Yanhui Army this time."
Zu Xingwei's eyes lit up, and he immediately knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your cultivation, General. I will be loyal to you until my death!"
Zu Xingwei felt really relieved. He was so happy because Lu Xueyin finally truly trusted him.
The troops he led were always different, sometimes drawn from the military, and were always temporarily assembled. Zu Xingwei understood that Lu Xueyin didn't let him lead the army alone, only giving him an official position but no troops. This was because she didn't trust him enough and didn't let him cultivate his own direct lineage.
The saying "Zu Xingwei is permanent, but his soldiers are transient" has been realized in Zu Xingwei.
Ji Ping, Tan Feng and Cao Wenkai are not like that. They have their own troops and their armies have flags with their own surnames.
This was a clear case of differential treatment, but Zu Xingwei was not dissatisfied - it was because he had taken the wrong path and had a poor background. He was already secretly smiling that Lu Xueyin was willing to give him this opportunity.
And now, Lu Xueyin finally trusted him and gave him soldiers and horses. From now on, he was his man.
Zu Xingwei was of course happy.
Lu Xueyin had indeed intended to suppress Zu Xingwei in the past, but he had truly performed so well. He had fought bravely on the battlefield and made great contributions. Even if Lu Xueyin had any prejudice against him, she should have let it go.
Lu Xueyin had arranged everything and was waiting for the first batch of Tatar war horses to arrive. Lu Xueyin was about to set off.
