"So you think you are overqualified!"

Wang Sheng smiled softly, but the expression on his face did not change much.

Zheng Yu on the side heard Wang Sheng's words, but he could hear the ridicule in them.

"Commander, we all come from high-ranking families. We have been educated in Guozixue since we were young. We are proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as the Six Arts of a Gentleman. We are so talented that we can manage this logistics equipment in the army. Commander is really too young.

Look, I’ve been waiting.”

Wang Sheng glanced at Zheng Yu and shook his head slightly.

"Then what do you mean, what positions should I give you so that you can use your talents?"

Hearing Wang Sheng's words, Zheng Yu said unceremoniously: "As long as the commander and I have an elite army of ten thousand people, I, Zheng Yu, will take care of the King of Qi."

"Hahaha!"

Hearing Zheng Yu's words, Wang Sheng laughed directly.

"why are you laughing?"

"Ten thousand people can take care of the King of Qi. If you really have the ability, you can speak out your big argument. If it really makes sense, I will abdicate and make way for someone better. This position of commander-in-chief will be given to you.

Zheng Yu did it, and I didn’t complain at all."

"Coach, Brother Zheng has drunk some wine and is a little confused. Don't take it to heart, coach. Although Brother Zheng is talented and virtuous, if everyone wants to defeat the King of Qi, it is just a dream."

"Brother Lu, why do you say that?"

On the surface, Lu Hao was saying good things to Zheng Yu, but in fact, he also angered Zheng Yu.

What do you mean by this is that I'm bragging?

"Every word spoken in the military camp is a military order. Do you dare to issue a military order to me?"

"I..."

Zheng Yu just wanted to say "dare", but when he heard the three words "military order" and thought about it carefully, he didn't dare to say it.

If this is mentioned and not done properly, it will be a matter of death!

Ten thousand people defeat the King of Qi, of course there is an element of bragging in it.

Of course, in Zheng Yu's mind, he felt that he had only learned eight battles and had read countless military books, in any case, more than the Marquis of Guangyuan.

As for why he thinks so, it is naturally the case with books, which few people unless they belong to high-ranking families have.

Especially military books, there are even fewer such books.

"Don't you dare to issue a military order?"

This Zheng Yu is a descendant of the Zheng family in Xingyang. If he dares to issue a military order, Wang Sheng can directly kill him.

A military order was issued in the army. If you die, your death will be in vain. Even if people from the Zheng family in Xingyang come to question you, Wang Sheng will still have something to say.

"I..."

"Coach, Zheng Yu was just a quick talk, but we are really full of enthusiasm to serve the country and want to share the worries for His Majesty and the coach, so we came here in a hurry."

"You are all talented people, I understand this."

Seeing that the person speaking was Wei Xiong, Wang Sheng's expression became much calmer.

This Hedong Wei family is still close to him, so he still needs to give him some good looks.

"But the army is not a place for you and others to play games. This is related to your majesty's grand plan. It is the foundation of our great advancement for a hundred years. It is also related to the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and the lives and deaths of millions of people. If you just rely on your talent and learning, you will feel that you can ascend to a high position.

, do you think your current talents and learning are enough for the Three Dukes? If so, just let His Majesty directly promote you."

Wang Sheng's words were directly sarcastic.

"Coach, I have no intention of doing so."

"You are all young people, and young people have great ambitions. I can understand this. However, if you want to be respected by me, you have to show your true skills. You are just talking words. You are not even as good as me. So,

Don't try to do anything to your advantage."

Marquis Guangyuan was also famous in Luoyang for his talent in conversation.

Although he is younger than the four people in front of him.

Even if Zheng Yu was dissatisfied, he could only snort coldly.

Lu Hao heard something hidden in Wang Sheng's words.

"How do I prove it so that I can be reused by the coach? The coach can speak out."

Wang Sheng glanced at Lu Hao and nodded lightly.

This Lu Hao is much better than Zheng Yu from the Zheng family in Xingyang.

"What are you competing for? Martial arts or the art of war?"

"Since you want to be a general, of course you will be able to defeat thousands of enemies."

The so-called enemy of ten thousand people is the art of war that Wang Sheng mentioned earlier.

"Even a general must be skilled in martial arts. Otherwise, he won't be able to charge into battle during a battle. Even after a defeat, he won't even have a chance to escape."

"Then let's compare together."

"good."

Wang Sheng smiled softly.

It's finally time for these children of aristocratic families to be put to use.

"Martial skills are better than riding and shooting, and the law of war can be deduced."

"good."

Lu Hao is still confident in his archery skills. As for the military deduction, there are probably very few people in this army who can compare with the children of these aristocratic families.

"How does the coach compare?"

"Since you are so confident, if you want me to promote you in the army, you have to show your skills and convince the soldiers and generals. You can compare with the soldiers in the army by riding and shooting."

Compared with military sergeants?

Lu Hao raised his eyebrows.

Although he is confident in his riding and shooting, there are probably many sharpshooters in this military camp, right?

He felt a little uneasy.

"Commander, my level of cavalry and archery is acceptable, but I'm afraid I can't compare with the elites in the army." Wang Yu said with a bitter look on his face at this time.

What he is good at is literature, and he also touches on the art of war a little bit, but if you want to talk about martial arts, this is not within the scope of Wang Yu's expertise.

If you are not even good at it, how can you compare with the elites in the army?

"It's okay? You are not generals who rush into battle. You only need to show your basic skills and convince the soldiers. You don't have to defeat the opponent. Of course, the art of war requires your true skills."

"good!"

After listening to Wang Sheng's words, Lu Hao's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he seemed to have seen the scene of himself leading troops in the army.

He, Lu Haoke, was involved in martial arts and art of war, and had some in-depth understanding of it.

I don’t believe that any of these army sergeants can compare with him.

"When will the coach compete?"

"Why don't we do it tomorrow?"

In Xingyang, Wang Sheng still needs to stay for one day to transport grain, grass and baggage.

The saying that the three armies should move forward without moving food and grass is not empty talk.

"tomorrow?"

Lu Hao thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

"It will be tomorrow."

"If that's the case, then go down and have a good rest. Don't let your chain fall off tomorrow."

"promise."

After Lu Hao got the answer he wanted, he naturally turned back.

Zheng Yu lost some face with Wang Sheng, his face turned red, and he had no intention of staying.

Lu Hao and Zheng Yu left. Wei Xiong glanced at Wang Sheng and said: "Coach, although we are from a high-ranking family, if we really open the back door, I'm afraid the army will not accept it. I think..."

Wang Sheng smiled and waved.

"For sergeants in the army, the most important thing is martial arts and military strategy. As long as they are capable, even if the commander makes an exception and promotes them, they will not say anything. Moreover, these soldiers are full of breath. You must not even be able to match them.

When the time comes, even if I want to use you, there will be no excuse."

It’s not that I don’t want to use you!

You really can't help me.

Even if I want to use it, I can’t!

For these high-spirited children of aristocratic families, this is the only way to silence them.

When Wei Xiong saw Wang Sheng's answer, he opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but Wang Yu held Wei Xiong aside.

"Brother Wei, it's getting late, we should go back and rest."

Wei Xiong sighed lightly and finally nodded.

He was on good terms with Marquis Guangyuan, and even if he was employed, it was normal. But now that Lu Hao and Zheng Yu have muddied the waters, even they have no choice but to be like Lu Hao and Zheng Yu.

There is no way out of this back door.

The key is that when it comes to martial arts and tactics, he thinks he is inferior to Lu Hao.

There is no competition anymore!

However, at this point, it is useless to say more words here.

Marquis Guangyuan's words have been spoken and will not be changed.

The best solution now is to go back and have a good rest and think about what to do tomorrow.

Moreover, I was really tired of people after traveling all day.

After Wei Xiong and Wang Yu left, Zhang Bin, who had been in the camp, spoke.

"My lord, do you want to use this Lu Hao and Zheng Yu to establish your authority?"

Zhang Bin didn't speak in the tent before, like a transparent person, but he also had a very clear understanding of Wang Sheng's actions.

Wang Sheng smiled and said: "It's not enough to establish prestige. If these children of aristocratic families don't find a reason for them to settle down, I'm afraid there will be no peace in the army. Moreover, using people like Lu Hao and Zheng Yu to support the soldiers

It would be a good thing to find some confidence and increase my reputation as a commander."

"My lord's method is good, but these people are all elites from different schools. There may be many people in this military camp who can match or even surpass them in terms of martial arts, but when it comes to military strategy, I'm afraid there are only a few who can surpass them.

Already."

Wang Sheng smiled and said, "Sir, do you think your troops are inferior to these people?"

Zhang Bing was stunned for a moment and then laughed.

"It turns out that my lord has plotted against Zhang Bin."

"If the military strategy is not as good as that of my commander's military supervisor, then I don't see how many of them have the dignity to ask for positions."

"If that's the case, then I'm going to make preparations tonight."

Wang Sheng nodded slightly.

"It's just a military exercise. It's not difficult for you, sir. Taking this opportunity can also allow Pei Xing and Dai Yuan to gain momentum, and also give me, the commander, more say in the army."

It is one thing to give this soldier confidence, and it is another thing to make these children of aristocratic families settle down, but Wang Sheng's main purpose is to push his own people up. This Lu Hao and Zheng Yu thought they had plotted against Wang Sheng.

I never thought that they had always been Wang Sheng's pawns, just tools.

Outside the main tent of the Chinese army, Lu Hao came out of the main tent first, and Zheng Yu came out later, but he ran up.

"Brother Lu, the Marquis of Guangyuan wants us to compete with Qiu Ba in the army. Isn't this self-degradation? Brother Lu, why are you still so eager to do it?"

"Hahaha."

Lu Hao laughed first, and then said: "Of course I know the coach's thoughts, he just wants to use us to establish his authority. Just imagine, we and other high-ranking people are unable to defeat ordinary soldiers, wouldn't it be a huge increase?

The ambition of those soldiers? What's more, the way we deal with the children of our aristocratic family can also make the military commander see clearly that he, Guangyuan Marquis, does not care about his family background, but his talent and military merit. The coach has more on his mind.

But we are not just for a living. How can these soldiers know the art of war if they don’t know a single word?"

As he spoke, Lu Hao's mood became better and better.

"We must seize this opportunity that the coach gave us in vain. Moreover, after taking the position, the soldiers cannot say that we came in through connections. We came in through our own abilities."

After listening to Lu Hao's words, Zheng Yu's eyes lit up slightly, but then a little worry rose in his heart.

"It's just that in terms of martial arts, those Qiu Ba are the ones who eat this bowl of rice. We may not be our opponents. As for military skills, I think Guangyuan Marquis dares to say this, and he also has a calculation in his heart. This matter is not that simple."

"Marquis Guangyuan naturally has a lot of calculations in his heart. He comes from a humble background. It's normal for him to look down on the children of our aristocratic families. He thinks that all the children of aristocratic families are playboys who don't do serious things and are incompetent people. But you and I are not the same.

If Marquis Guangyuan dares to look down on such a person, then we will take advantage of the situation."

"But..."

Zheng Yu still had some hesitation in his heart.

"Don't worry, let's have a good rest. Even if Marquis Guangyuan comes out tomorrow, we can deal with it calmly."

Zheng Yu nodded lightly.

"This is the only plan we have now."

After a day's journey, he was very tired now.

It will definitely not be so simple for Marquis Guangyuan to show his talents in Luoyang.

But Lu Hao is not a simple-minded person.

Zheng Yu thought for a moment and shook his head.

Although he has a quick temper, that doesn't mean he is stupid.

In fact, Zheng Yu can be regarded as a leader among the younger generation in today's Xingyang Zheng family.

Otherwise, the Zheng family in Xingyang would not be able to pay the price and let Zheng Yu join Wang Sheng's southern expedition.

Now, we really can only take one step at a time.

.....

At the same time, in the Chinese army's tent, Wang Sheng, Guo Yong, and the four southern camp generals summoned them.

"I summoned the four generals late at night because I have important matters to discuss."

"Whenever the coach gives you an order, I will naturally come right away, whether it is something important or not..."

As soon as Wang Sheng said his first words, Guo Yong's flattery started.

Wang Sheng shook his head slightly and waited for Liu Yong to flatter him before saying: "You all know how many children of aristocratic families there are in this army..."

Wang Sheng told Liu Yong, Liu Yong, and Du Ziyang what happened to Lu Hao and Zheng Yu in detail.

"Coach competition?"

Isn't this giving the children of the aristocratic family a better excuse to open a back door?

Didn't you say you didn't want to know your background?

Guo Yong had some disappointment on his face.

The so-called important thing today is probably to select a few "actors" to let the children of the aristocratic family pass the test at the critical moment?

"It is indeed a competition. You select ten masters of riding and archery from the army. In the competition tomorrow, you can teach those children of aristocratic families a lesson."

Wait a moment...

Guo Yong was stunned for a moment.

Why is the coach's words different from what he thinks?

"Coach, teach them a lesson? Don't you want to... let them go?"

"Of course I will teach them a lesson."

Wang Sheng glanced at Guo Yong and naturally knew what he was thinking.

"In the army, I don't care about my family background, but only about my ability and military merit. Those children from aristocratic families are really capable, so I will naturally use them. If I don't have the ability, I can't blame myself."

Wang Sheng's words made Guo Yong's eyes light up.

He vaguely understood Wang Sheng's thoughts.

"Then my subordinates must find the ten best cavalry and shooting men in the army."

Wang Sheng nodded slightly.

"Choose five more people with stronger military skills to come over."

"art of war?"

Guo Yong was stunned for a moment, but nodded slightly.

After Wang Sheng finished giving instructions for tomorrow, he also asked Guo Yong and Du Ziyang to retreat.
Chapter completed!
