After hearing Sima Lang's words, Lu Ning immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Sima Lang,""On behalf of tens of thousands of citizens, I thank Mister Sima first.”
When Chen Fang and Mai Zi heard my words, they secretly laughed. I glared at them.
When Sima Lang heard what Lü Ning said, his mouth fell open and he couldn't speak for a long time. He pointed at Lü Ning and said,""You, you, you, sigh.”
Lu Ning knew in his heart that this group of scholars valued reputation the most. As long as they said it, they would definitely not change their mind. Therefore, Lu Ning was not afraid that Sima Lang would go back on his word.
Lü Ning, on the other hand, said to Sima Lang with a smile,""Mister Sima, don't be angry, let's go! We'll go and welcome you."
After saying that, Lu Ning didn't care whether Sima Lang agreed or not, and pulled him forward. Sima Lang shook his head and sighed as he walked, looking dejected.
In order to welcome Sima Lang, Lu Ning called over a few of his subordinates who were slightly better in rank. Even Zhang Liao had rushed back.
After Zhang Liao had wiped out all the Xianbei cavalrymen in Yanmen Prefecture, it meant that the entire Yanmen Prefecture had been recovered. Originally, he still had some finishing work to deal with, but he didn't know who told him that Lü Ning had made a batch of good wine. But he didn't allow anyone to drink or touch it. When he heard that Sima Lang had come, he also knew Sima Lang's name and knew that Sima Lang was a famous person in Hanoi. He guessed that Lu Ning would definitely bring out a mysterious wine to entertain Sima Lang tonight, so this kid ran back.
Before opening the cup, Lu Ning said to Sima Lang,""Mr. Sima, the wine that I drank tonight was something I drank when I encountered a heavy rain on my way to study. I went to a cave to hide, but I met an old immortal in the cave. He saw that I was honest, respected the old, and loved the young. When I left, he gave me a jar of wine that the immortals drank. I have been reluctant to drink it for many years. If you don't believe me, you can ask if they have drunk it. Today, Mr. Sima is here, so let's just drink it all together.”
Sima Lang glared at Lü Ning after hearing this. Chen Fang and Mai Zi were laughing secretly. Zhang Liao was skeptical.
However, when they all drank the first mouthful of wine, they shouted in unison,"Good wine, good wine. It's really the best in the world.”
Lu Ning smiled at Sima Lang and said,"Mister Sima, I didn't lie to you, did I?"”
Sima Lang said," You are telling the truth. This wine is indeed a treasure of the world. I have never drunk such good wine, nor have I ever heard of such good wine. I wonder if I can drink such good wine again in the future."”
Lu Ning smiled and said," If Mister Sima thinks it's delicious and wants to drink it again in the future, then I'll find some time to look for that old immortal and think of a way to get a few more jars from him. I think it shouldn't be a problem."”
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard Lu Ning's nonsense.
The next day, Sima Lang officially took over all the internal affairs. Lü Ning let Mai Zi assist them and let him learn more from Sima Lang.
Lu Ning called Zhang Liao, Li You, Zhang Chuang, Ergou, Silly, Hei Zi, Chen Fang, Mai Zi, and the others over.
After they had all arrived, Lü Ning said," I called you all here because I have a few things to tell you. Although we have conquered Yanmen Prefecture, we have caused endless trouble. Everyone knows this. Therefore, the next step was to defend the important cities and checkpoints well. They had to raise and thicken the walls of the cities and checkpoints, add fortifications, and increase their defensive capabilities. Only then would they be able to resist the enemy's attack.
Buhui, you still have to rush back to Yanmen Pass. You'll be stationed there and also be responsible for training the snipers. The snipers you choose can be brought to Yanmen Pass for training. You also have to be responsible for inspecting, implementing, and supervising the construction of the checkpoint. You must not be careless. You're leading your troops to guard Yanmen Pass alone. You must be extremely careful. Yanmen Pass is very important to the safety of our entire prefecture. You must send scouts to scout the surroundings every day. The scouting range should be as far and wide as possible. There should be open and hidden sentries both in the day and at night.
If there are enemies attacking, you must send someone to report to me immediately and lead the soldiers to defend the pass. You must not exit the pass to fight. If there are any who exit the pass to fight, you will be punished according to military law. Originally, the best candidate to guard the checkpoint was Wen Yuan, but Wen Yuan still had other things to catch. Now, it's your turn to go. Don't disappoint me.”
After hearing Lu Ning's instructions, Li You immediately knelt down and said,""Don't worry, my lord. I will remember every word you say. I will guard Yanmen Pass well and not let you down.”
Lu Ning stood up and helped Li You up. He said,"Buhui, now that we have a base, you have to send people to Shanhou Village to bring your foster father, foster mother, and foster sister to live in Yin Mansion. Also, get the people who go to tell the villagers of Shanhou Village that if they are willing, they can move the entire village to Yin Mansion City to live.”
"Yes, my lord. I'll send someone to Shanhou Village today."”
Lu Ning then said to everyone," We still have to continue recruiting soldiers and ensure that the quality of the new recruits is good. We must not lower the standards. We also have to pay close attention to the training of the soldiers. Whether it's the new recruits or the veterans, we have to strengthen the training. We must let the new recruits form combat effectiveness in a very short period of time. This work will still be handled by Wen Yuan. Wen Yuan will also be responsible for supervising all the cities and checkpoints in the territory. No matter where there is a situation, we have to rush to the rescue at the first moment. I will be away for a few days tomorrow. During my absence, Wen Yuan will be in charge of all military affairs.”
" Rest assured, my lord," Zhang Liao said." As long as I, Zhang Liao, am alive, I will not allow any enemy to break through our city or pass, unless they step on my body."”
Lu Ning said to Ergou," Ergou, you can't slack off on your scouting duties. We still have to send out a large number of scouts to scout the interior and exterior of the country every day. We also have to scout as wide as possible. However, we have to remind the soldiers to pay attention to their safety when scouting the enemy situation of the Tuoba tribe. After all, they have scout eagles. If we're not careful, we might lose our lives at any time.”
"Yes, my lord."
" Changsui," Lu Ning said to Mai Zi," on one hand, you have to help Boda with his work. On the other hand, you have to set up a recruitment hall. No matter who they are, what kind of background they have, as long as they have a skill, we will need them in large numbers. If you meet someone who you think is very talented, you can find someone who can test him according to his specialty. If it's a general type, you can look for Wen Yuan, and if it's a scholar type, you can look for Bo Da.”
"My lord, do you still want the carpenters, masons, blacksmiths, doctors, and other craftsmen?" Mai Zi asked.”
Lü Ning smiled and said," Why not? We need all kinds of craftsmen in large quantities. It's just that I don't have the financial resources to develop some things at the moment. But when I return, I'll come up with a good plan. You have to get more craftsmen.”
"Yes, my lord," Mai Zi replied.
