Lu Yuan stood at the door, paused briefly, strode into the house, bowed his hands to Wu Gen, and then walked towards Lu Bi, who had a look of astonishment on his face.
"Supervisor, that money has been used for the daily expenses of the Rebel Army. The reason why there is so much is that being a harbinger is a waste of money. It is a bottomless pit. No wonder every family has no way to survive. There are too many.”
"Lu... Chief Lu Qu, you have to know that today is a formal military meeting, so you have to be careful with your words." Lu Bi finally came to his senses and was concerned about the sickly-looking young man in front of him. Man, he can't be too conceited.
"If someone threatens you, please don't worry. As long as our supervisory army is here, they will protect you." Lu Yuan swept away his previous cowardice, straightened his chest and said loudly: "This is the rock road, it belongs to the Lu family In the world, as the nephew of the head of the family, who can threaten me? The supervisor takes it for granted." These words made Lu Bi speechless. He could do whatever he wanted to Wu Gen and others, but he could not do anything to a Qu. Being disrespectful, I had to sit down quietly.
"Come on, Lu Qu, sit down." Wu Gen, with a spring breeze on his face, pulled Lu Yuan to sit next to him.
"My health is still better. There have been a lot more soldiers these days. Commander Qu might as well worry more and lead the Rebel Army into a strong army as soon as possible. The head of the family personally made the decision to form this army that day, but we can't Let him be disappointed. There are some things that you can report to the head of the family, so that the head of the family can know that our fearless army is not free of charge after spending so much money."
"That's natural. I have just inspected the Yifu Army and sent a letter to Maojing City. I think the head of the family will be relieved to see such rapid progress. I established the Yifu Army by myself, and the required expenditure is Everything has passed through my hands, so others don't need to comment." Lu Yuan nodded, and sat generously next to Wu Gen.
Seeing these two people going back and forth, other people in the hall were reluctant to speak. They glanced at Lu Ben who looked embarrassed from time to time, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
"Wu Qianhu, let's leave the matter of military resources this time. It's just about what happened to the Meng family in the Fearless Army. Since the last incident, some people in the Meng family are dissatisfied with the Lu family. It's better to be more careful. , whether to stay or not, whether to kill or not is decided by the clan, why can he still hold an important position in the army?" Lu Bi finally couldn't help it and pointed at Meng Shun who was sitting in the room and Meng Ling who was lying on the ground.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Meng Shun had been in the army for some time and was familiar with Baoxiang and others. Lu Ben's move was to attack these two people.
Meng Shunan sat in his seat and closed his eyes slightly, as if the current matter had nothing to do with him. Meng Ling's expression changed and he looked at Wu Gen in panic. At this time, only Wu Gen could save him.
The supervisor already has the right to deal with the generals in the army, let alone a remnant of a rebellious family. The smile on Wu Gen's face gradually faded, he turned to look at Lu Ben, his tone became colder,
"Supervisor Lu, there are people from the Ba family, the Murong family, and the Jing family in my fearless army. Should we also clean up the people? Even I, a thousand-family member, am a foreigner, and I shouldn't be sitting in this seat. Is it right?" No, we have to take it down." Lu Bi was not afraid of facing Wu Gen, and said angrily: "Wu Qianhu, you are using strong words to make excuses. As a military supervisor, I am responsible for supervising the personnel in the military, and I must not let him. Is there anything wrong with having disloyal people in the military?"
"Haha." Wu Gen sneered,
"Supervisor, our Fearless Army is a place of reason. We are not just people who sell pulp and lead carts. Just shout with your voice. Let's do this. We don't want to come one by one. It just so happens that everyone is here today. If you have any ideas, please mention them all. Come out and put it out there for everyone to discuss."
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll speak frankly." Lu Ben also sat up straighter and cleared his throat.
"I was ordered by the Young Master to supervise the army, so naturally I have to live up to the Young Master's instructions. In my opinion, there are three shortcomings of the Fearless Army. First, there is a mixture of human races and herdsmen in the army, and some human races can actually lead the herdsmen. Son. The human race is already weak. This will reduce the herdsman's combat power, which will be of no benefit to the family. If word spreads, it will inevitably make other families laugh. I intend to reorganize the fearless army, with the herdsmen as the main force and the human race as the auxiliary, so that we can fully display our shepherds. Brave. Of course, Qianhu is a hero of the human race and is not included in this list. Secondly, the military structure is chaotic. It does not follow the old system of our shepherds, but uses the human system. It is so unusual. If it is coordinated with other armies of the tribe and is neither fish nor fowl, it should be changed to a herdsman. Establishment. The new general must be signed by both of us before he can take office. Third, the military is under-supervised, supervision is slack, public and private affairs are paralleled, and public funds are wasted. I think that in the future, every application in the military must be made by thousands of households and The payment can only be made after we both agree." Upon hearing this, Wu Gen's face suddenly darkened.
Lu Ben's three moves were quite ruthless. Not only did he want to change the basis of the army's founding by mixing the fearless military clan with the shepherds, but he also wanted to take the personnel and financial power into his own hands.
As a result, the Fearless Army was really about to change. For a while, Wu Gen felt quite sympathetic to Shui Congyue's hard support in Xingshan.
There is no way, the Fearless Army has no territory, so it has to rely on these local snakes, and it has to be restricted by others.
But Lu Ben went too far. He wanted to hold the entire Fearless Army firmly in his hands. After taking a long breath, Wu Gen turned to Zhuo Ke and ordered,
"Bring me my Qianhu seal." Zhuo Ke was stunned, and quickly took out Wu Gen's seal from his body and presented it with both hands.
On weekdays, Wu Gen would just give orders casually. This copper lump was usually thrown at Zhuo Ke's place and was rarely used.
Wu Gen took the seal, threw it on the table in front of Lu Ben, and said with disdain: "Supervisor Lu, I have reported to the head of the Lu family about the establishment of the Fearless Army, including the admission of people from various families. He is an old man. I also quite approve of it, otherwise I wouldn’t have put so many human beings here. Just now, the supervisor said that the human race was weak and wanted to exclude the human race from the fearless army. It shows that I, a thousand households, are also incompetent. That’s good. , I quit my job. From today on, I will disband the Fearless Army and return to Beizhou to farm with my parcels. This place will be completely handed over to the Supervisory Army. I wish the Supervisory Army will become an army as soon as possible and prosper. As soon as the reason is met, I will I will also report it to the head of the family." After saying that, Wu Gen stood up and strode out.
Meng Shun glanced at Lu Ben, picked up Meng Ling from the ground, and followed Wu Gen. When the generals and generals in the hall saw this, they glared angrily at Lu Bi, got up and left with Wu Gen.
"Wu Gen, what are you doing? Do you think you can scare me this way? If I don't report to the young master, I will punish you for being domineering and disturbing the morale of the army." Lu Ben slammed the table, stood up and said angrily.
"Whatever, my mouth is on you, you can sue me however you want." Wu Gen waved his hand nonchalantly and walked away.
Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Lu Yuan slowly stood up and walked to Lu Ben.
"Supervisor, what our Lu family wants is a strong army. If after all this effort, the Fearless Army is disbanded, no matter how loyal you are to the Lu family, depending on how the master treats you, I'm afraid even the young master will protect you. No less important than you. You have to distinguish clearly what is light and what is important." He shook his head and walked out of the meeting hall.
Lu Ben couldn't help but turn pale as he looked at the empty meeting hall, with only the few people he brought left.
He is not stupid, the current situation is strange and it is the time to employ people. If he has ruined the Fearless Army when he first came here, how will the head of the family treat him.
It is difficult to build an army, but it is quick to disband. If Wu Genruo really gives up his job, the main generals in the army will also run away, leaving only a bunch of soldiers what's the use.
After opening his mouth a few times, Lu Ben wanted to persuade Lu Yuan to stay, but in the end he remained silent and had to lead his men back to his residence. He was greeted by countless disdainful looks along the way.
In Wu Gen's house, Baoxiang and others gathered here. Something happened suddenly today. Unexpectedly, Lu Bi would take action so quickly, forcing Wu Gen to threaten to resign.
"Master, can it be that we just let it go and let that villain do whatever he wants? Are our Fearless Army really going to break up? Are these brothers all gone?" The one who spoke was Tu Dan, his eyes fixed on Wu Gen. .
"Of course, but if the Lu family wants to take it away by force, then I will break up. Only those in our hands are called fearless troops. If they are given to the Lu family, they can only be called their own soldiers." Wu Gen sat on his seat. On top, one hand supports his chin.
"Don't worry, everyone. The Lu family has spent so much effort building the Fearless Army. When it comes time to use it, they will never let the Fearless Army disperse. If we want the Fearless Army, we still need Lu Bi. I believe the Lu family will make a decision."
"Master, should we kill him? Don't worry, as long as someone helps me, I will do it properly." Niu Chao squatted on the chair and waved his hand in a chopping motion.
"Don't touch him now. Let's be patient for the time being until the Lu family makes a decision. By the way, Li Qi, cut off the means of contact between Lu Ben and Lu Lie." Wu Gen waved his hand and directed towards a shadow and said, "Don't wait." The other party replied, then turned to Zhuo Ke and said,
"Look at Lu Yuan, ask him to send a letter to the clan and tell him about the situation in Youyi Mountain. Now we have to rely on the power of the Lu family to suppress Lu Ben."
"I understand," Zhuo Ke said with his hands raised.
"Baoxiang, take your brothers to inspect the camp more these days to reassure people. We can't give up this little fortune that we managed to save so easily. At the same time, Wu Yang must plan a route away from Panshi Road as soon as possible. Just in case of emergency." Wu Gen calmly ordered.
Seeing how calm Wu Gen was, everyone gradually felt at ease.
"I've been sick for the past two days, so I won't go out. Keep an eye on everyone in the Fearless Army and disperse. Meng Shun will stay." Wu Gen finished explaining his arrangements and waved for everyone to disperse.
Soon there were only two people left in the room. Wu Gen smiled slightly and said,
"There is no need to worry, Mr. Meng Qu. One Lu Ben cannot change the world."
"I'm not worried. After these days, I also know what kind of person the village leader is." Meng Shun did not call Wu Gen Qianhu for the first time. He sighed longly and looked gloomy.
"It's just that Meng Ling makes me a little disappointed. He was actually intimidated by him."
"It's okay. We can't all be like you and me. We always have some weaknesses." Wu Gen didn't care and patted Meng Shun's arm gently.
"Let Meng Ling come in. That's it for today." Meng Shun's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but he still called Meng Ling in who had been waiting outside.
As soon as he entered the door, Meng Ling knelt down in front of Wu Gen and cried bitterly: "Master, I was forced by Lu Ben. I really didn't have any evil intentions." Wu Gen helped him up and comforted him with a smile: "I You know, I know, it’s okay. From now on, you have to remember that the only ones who can really protect you are me and your uncle. If Lu Ben threatens you again, just tell me directly. In the Fearless Army, he is just a nuisance. Human flies can't turn the sky upside down." Meng Ling nodded repeatedly and said a bunch of words of gratitude before Wu Gen sent the two of them away.
After everyone left, Wu Gen's face suddenly became ferocious. He grabbed the window frame with one hand and stared at the sky outside the window without saying a word.
Click, the window frame was crushed to pieces. Looking at the broken pieces in his hand, Wu Gen blew lightly, and the broken pieces of wood fell down one after another.
