Chapter 11
Cheng De read "Sun Tzu's Art of War" carefully, leaning against the edge of the bed, thinking about the meaning of each sentence in his mind, and thinking about how to apply it to the actual battlefield.

In today's troubled times, learning the art of war will be a long-term valuable thing for Cheng De.

Moreover, he was trying to adapt to the way of marching and fighting in ancient times. As for the way of fighting in modern times in the previous life, for Cheng De, although he could figure it out, considering the environment of this era, he was worried that it would be counterproductive, so he gave up on it. After all, if you take a big step, accidents are easy to happen!
Whether it was Wang Mang or Emperor Sui Yang, they were all talented, but it was because many of their practices were too advanced and touched the interests of certain classes that they ended up like in history.

Regarding history, Cheng De has always learned from it with an open mind!
For a long time, he remembered that he had studied Du Mu's "A Pang Gong Fu" in middle school, and there was a sentence in it, which in his opinion was very thought-provoking.

"The people of Qin have no time to mourn for themselves, but later generations mourned; what later generations mourned without learning from it, also made future generations mourn for future generations again."

The biggest lesson that people can learn from history is that they have not learned the lesson. Cheng De pays attention to this point and often introspects himself.

Although history has been dressed up, the core things still exude a strong light, shining through the ages.

Therefore, Cheng De will not rashly let something too advanced appear in this era.

However, he will still take out some!

Thinking of this, Cheng De's mind was full of classic battle scenes, and he was burning with enthusiasm, trying his best to digest every paragraph and every sentence in "The Art of War".

At this moment, the sound of "bang bang bang" sounded outside the door, Cheng De closed the pages of the book, then frowned and looked outside the door, "Who is there?"

"General, it's Luo Yan, the servant, here to deliver the ledger!"

"Come in!"

"Squeak—" The door opened, revealing Luo Yan's figure.

At this time, Luo Yanyu was shy, her ears were red, she lowered her head, holding a stack of thick books in both hands, and after gently closing the door, she walked towards Cheng De with light steps.

"Put these ledgers on the table!"

"Yes!"

After Luo Yan put it away, Cheng De took a look at her and found that she was a little more beautiful than before, but Cheng De didn't have other distracting thoughts now.

"How are the arrangements, brothers?"

"It's all arranged, and the servants who are sent over are all carefully selected by me. Everyone is more beautiful!"

"Now that the weather is getting colder, Zhuangzi, especially Luo Gongfu and Wang Shilin, have arranged warm clothes for each of them, as well as a new set of clothes. Luo Gongfu has contributed to writing "Sun Tzu's Art of War" silently in recent days , give him two more sets. By the way, you can arrange another accountant to teach Luo Gongfu to do the accounts! You should write these down first!"

"General, do you have any other orders?"

"It's gone for the time being. If there is a shortage of silver in the village, just tell me and I'll find a way!"

"Reporting to the general, there is no shortage of silver in Zhuangzi. Besides, I have something to tell you!"

"you say!"

"Without the general's permission, the servant took over some private embroidery work from outside. I hope the general will forgive me!" Luo Yan just knelt down with her feet on the ground and buried her head on the ground after saying this!

Cheng De put down his book, helped Luo Yan up with both hands, looked at Luo Yan and said, "I forgive you for this, and I know that you are thinking about Zhuangzi, but these days, you still stay in Zhuangzi, don't As for those private affairs, I will let He Sanwu handle them!"

"My servant thanked the general!"

Cheng De stared at Luo Yan for a while, and then said: "From now on, don't call yourself a slave in front of me. After all, you are my woman in name, so just call yourself a concubine."

Said, Cheng Dela took Luo Yan to sit down on the bed, and said: "Is there anyone else in your family?"

Luo Yan was silent for a while after hearing this, and then replied: "It's all gone! Now I'm the only one left!"

Hearing this, Cheng De said: "Then you will treat this as your own home from now on, and I will take good care of you!"

"General, slave—" Luo Yan's eyes were moist, as if tears were about to come out.

Seeing this, Cheng De immediately said: "Ahem, have you forgotten what I just said?"

"Thank you General, I am lucky to meet General!"

Seeing Luo Yan's earnest expression, Cheng De nodded, "Tomorrow, the brothers' weddings will be held simply. You don't need to invite anyone else, just people from our Zhuangzi. As for wine, you can buy some. Let Li Sanqi buy it!"

"My concubine remembers!"

"After a while, I'll give you a present!"

"Ah - General, I have nothing else to ask for, I am already satisfied with the general's previous words!"

"The gift I gave, just keep it, and treat it as a token of love. Learn to delegate power on weekdays, and don't overwork yourself. If you are tired, just arrange for someone to do it! By the way, after a while, the burden on you will be heavy The part will be handed over to Luo Gongfu, when the time comes, you will mainly teach me how to practice calligraphy and read books to me!"

"The concubine knows it!"

"Just now, if you have time, you can read this book to me, and I will close my eyes and listen to it for a while!"

Cheng De handed "Sun Tzu's Art of War" to Luo Yan, and then lay directly on the bed with his hands and arms resting on his head.

"let's start!"

Luo Yan turned the pages of the book and began to recite "Sun Tzu's Art of War".
After a long time, Luo Yan found that the room was quiet, and there were still some snorting sounds. She turned her head and found that Cheng De was already asleep, so she slowly put down the book and carefully placed it on the table.Then gently covered Cheng De with the quilt on the bed, seeing Cheng De sleeping soundly, a smile gradually appeared in his eyes.

"The general is so kind, if it's always like this, it would be great!" Luo Yan thought.

When Cheng De woke up, he found that there was no one in the room. When he saw the quilt, he couldn't help guessing that it was Luo Yan who made it, and felt a little softer in his heart.

Finding that he was a little hungry, Cheng De was about to get some food.

Unexpectedly, when she was about to get up, she found Luo Yan walking in with a wooden tray.

"General, I saw that it was getting dark and the general didn't eat, so I made some food. The general tasted it to see if it suits your taste!"

Cheng De was not polite, sat down directly, and quickly took the wooden tray from Luo Yan!
Before eating, Cheng De looked at Luo Yan, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten it myself!" Luo Yan replied.

However, at this moment, Luo Yan's stomach groaned, and the room was silent for a while.

At this moment, Luo Yan felt so ashamed that she wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground, lowered her head, her ears were burning!

"Since you haven't eaten, let's sit down and eat together!"

While talking, Cheng De pulled Luo Yan to sit down.

Luo Yan felt a little uneasy about this, but when she saw the food Cheng De handed over, she fell silent and was very moved.

After eating, Cheng De asked Luo Yan to go back to his room to rest, while he continued to watch "The Art of War"!
Time passed by quietly, and when Cheng De looked away from the book, he found that the sky was already light, and he suddenly felt sleepy.

After closing the book, Cheng De closed his eyes and dozed off for an hour, then greeted Luo Yan and Zhuangzi's servants, busy with organizing the wedding for the brothers.

In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, Cheng De kept the wedding very simple!
All the procedures were directly simplified by Cheng De. Basically, after worshiping in the church, and drinking a few glasses of wine in a row, they basically went to the bridal chamber.

This day was a very lively day for Zhuangzi, everyone was full of smiles, the air was filled with the aroma of wine, mixed with a bit of spring.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, Cheng De spent his time studying peacefully, and the wound on his body has healed with the help of medicine.

When the third day came, Cheng De took all the brothers to practice martial arts together!
As for the training, Li Sanqi and Yang Wei are in charge!
However, at dusk, the fighting outside Sizhou City shook the sky, and the beating of drums was earth-shattering!
Sizhou City was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

Cheng De sent He Sanwu out to inquire about the news, but he was sitting quietly in the hall, flipping through the book with a calm expression.

In the hall, Li Sanqi, Yang Wei and others were still standing, but they looked a little anxious and couldn't sit still!

After half an hour, He Sanwu came back.

It's just that He Sanwu's complexion is very ugly!

"He Sanwu, have you heard any news?"

"Brother, just now I went out to inquire about the news that the Yuan army and the Red Turban Army outside the city suffered heavy losses in the battle, and even the south gate was breached. The Red Turban Army that broke in had a team of a hundred people, and they were in the city of Sizhou. The east was wreaking havoc, but the entrance to the south gate was quickly blocked by Yuan soldiers with their lives! The Red Scarf Army may have retreated at this time, and the Yuan army in the city was exhausted after this battle. Even the elite Yuan army, No more combat power than usual!"

After listening to He Sanwu's words, Cheng De put down the book in his hand and fell into deep thought. After wandering around the hall for a few times, his eyes showed unprecedented firmness.

"Brothers, I have been trying to find a suitable opportunity for an uprising recently. I think, is there a better opportunity than now? Now the yuan soldiers have suffered heavy losses, and they are even more exhausted, and the Red Turban Army has also lost It is very big, it may have receded, and now is our opportunity! If you miss this opportunity, you don’t know when the next time will be! Moreover, in the past few days, each of our soldiers has a weapon, and it has been strictly prohibited. You have just begun to have fighting power, and you are seeking wealth and wealth, and the time for rebellion has come!"

"Yang Wei listens!"

"Subordinates are here!"

"I ordered you to bring 150 people to take down Wanhu Mansion. Can this be done?"

"If it was the past, it would definitely not work. Now, the subordinates are guaranteed to complete the task!"

"Very good, now you take 150 people to Wanhu Mansion, and Li Sanqi, you go with me too! After taking down Wanhu Mansion, quickly lead the troops to clean up the Qianhu House and Baihu House!"

"Brother, I, Li Sanqi, will definitely take the head of the head of the ten thousand households for my brother, and swear to my death to complete the task assigned by my brother!"

"My lord, Yang Wei vows to die to complete the task!"

"He Sanwu listened to the order, you take 50 people to guard the Zhuangzi, and protect the people in the Zhuangzi! The Red Scarf Army probably will come here sooner or later, remember, don't let a Red Scarf Army enemy in, you can do it Are you there?"

"can!"

"Very good, hold on for at least half an hour, and when we are done, we will definitely come back! Also, brother believes in you! As for the remaining 50 people, and all the brothers, you dare to accompany me to take down the city gate ?"

"Brother, we all dare, whoever doesn't go is a coward!"

"It's not too late, everyone leave immediately!"

After Cheng De finished speaking, he immediately rushed towards the east gate with all the brothers and fifty soldiers.

At the same time, Yang Wei and Li Sanqi led the people towards Wanhu Mansion!

If things are done, they may become kings and hegemons in the future!

If you fail, you will sleep forever in the ground!

Although Cheng De was very nervous, he only had one thought from the beginning to the end: he must succeed, because he cannot lose, and he cannot afford to lose!
