When breakfast time came, Zhu Ping'an asked his uncle Zhu Shouren and others to get a set of tableware for them to eat from the same big pot.
"Alas, we didn't perform well this time. We didn't write the paperwork well, and we didn't answer the military strategy questions well."
On the way to eat, Xia Qiang said worriedly, very worried about their performance today.
Hu Wei was also a little worried.
Uncle Zhu Shouren didn't take it seriously and was very tolerant, "We are literate in Chinese characters and are familiar with the books of sages. Although our performance today is unsatisfactory, aren't we a hundred times better than these big-headed soldiers who can't read Chinese characters?!"
Hey, that makes sense. After hearing what their uncle Zhu Shouren said, Hu Wei and Xia Qiang couldn't help but nodded and felt much better.
Although it was the first time for the three of them to have a big pot meal, they didn’t have to worry about finding a place. They walked to the dining area after smelling the aroma.
"With so many soldiers, when will we line up?" Xia Qiang frowned as he looked at the long queue for food.
"No matter what the queue is, just go and get food." Uncle Zhu Shouren laughed and took the lead to walk to the front of the queue.
Uncle Zhu Shouren led the two of them to the front where the meal was being served, and without saying a word, he jumped in at the front.
"Hey, hey, who are you three? Why did you jump in line? You are not the one who won the drill! Where are the people from the supervision camp? There is someone here who jumped in line."
The soldiers who were cut in line were unhappy and shouted. This was the first time that someone dared to cut in line.
"Who am I? Haha, tell me my name, I'm afraid you will be frightened and won't be able to eat. You all listen up. I am your uncle Zhu Ping'an and Lord Zhu - Zhu Shouren. I am the secretary appointed by my nephew. . Now you all know, right? Both of them are secretaries appointed by my nephew personally. "
Uncle Zhu Shouren perfectly demonstrated what it means to be a fox pretending to be a tiger, and he proudly spoke to the protesting soldiers with his hands behind his back.
"Are you our lord's uncle? Are you the secretary appointed by our lord?" the protesting soldier chuckled.
"Of course, if it's fake, it's guaranteed." Uncle Zhu Shouren nodded vigorously, turned around in a normal circle, and said with pride, "You can vaguely see your appearance from my face, you and I My father is a biological brother, he has a fifty-sixth similarity, and he also has a three-thirds similarity with you adults."
"So what?" The protesting soldier was unconcerned.
"So what?! I am your lord's uncle, and we are the secretaries appointed by your lord. Isn't it right for us to jump in the queue and have a meal? Do you have any other opinions?! If you have any opinions, swallow them down, otherwise If so, be careful I tell my nephew, so that you can’t eat it and walk around!”
Uncle Zhu Shouren held his head high, looked at the protesting soldiers with disdain, and spoke threateningly.
Uncle Zhu Shouren had just finished speaking when he saw the soldiers queuing up with expressions of laughter on their faces.
What's going on? Why are you laughing? Did I wear my clothes inside out? Or did I get ink on my body while writing?
Uncle Zhu Shouren lowered his head and checked it himself. The clothes were clean and tidy, and he didn't see anything wrong.
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang were also stunned. They couldn't react for a while. Why did these soldiers look like this?
Shouldn't we be afraid? Shouldn't I admit my mistake? Why do you look like you can't help but laugh? !
At their confused glances, the nearby soldiers laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" Uncle Zhu Shouren was angry.
"Uncle, please know that we adults also line up every time we eat, and we always line up at the end and eat last."
The soldiers said all kinds of things.
"What? My nephew is also in line to eat?! And he's at the end?! Are you kidding me? Who is my nephew? What are your identities?" After hearing this, the three of them were in disbelief and felt that these big-headed soldiers were bluffing them.
"You don't believe it, do you? If you look back, you must be our adults at the end of the team. If it's not our adults, then our adults haven't come yet." The soldiers said with determination.
The uncle and the others turned their heads and looked back suspiciously, and then were startled to see that it was Zhu Pingan at the end of the team.
When did your nephew come? !
The uncle and the three of them hurriedly got up and moved out of the way. Zhu Ping'an was already in line and was still at the end. How could they have the nerve to jump in line? They quickly got up and walked to the back of the line.
"Ahem, nephew, why are you still queuing up? As the commander of the first army, it is not an exaggeration for you to be the first to eat, right?"
Uncle Zhu Shouren and the others came to Zhu Pingan and lined up behind Zhu Pingan. Uncle Zhu Shouren said this.
"Uncle, this is to set an example. Confucius said: 'If one's body is upright, he will not follow orders; if his body is not upright, he will not follow orders.'"
Zhu Pingan smiled slightly.
Uncle Zhu Shouren and the others disagreed.
When it was finally time for them to eat, there was only one bottom left in the big pot of rice. The expressions on the faces of the uncle Zhu Shouren and the others froze.
"Nephew, do you eat like this every day?" Uncle Zhu Shouren asked in disbelief.
"Actually, the soldiers are all thinking of me, and they left a lot of good food for me. They are guests, so you fight first. Wang Er, give them the good things." Zhu Pingan asked the uncle and the others to fight first. After dinner, he directed Wang Er, who was preparing the rice, to scoop out the few remaining slices of meat, tofu and other good dishes to the uncle and the three of them first.
After finishing the meal, uncle Zhu Shouren and the others followed Zhu Ping'an to find an empty table and sat down to eat.
"My dear nephew, why don't you open a small stove or something? How can you eat a big pot of rice with the soldiers and still be the last one to eat the leftovers? This is really disrespectful to you. If other generals and adults know about it, , I don’t know how to laugh at you. How can you have the face to talk and laugh with them in the future? "
Uncle Zhu Shouren said sadly.
"Uncle, what's wrong with eating from a big pot? What's wrong with eating at the end? How can you lose your status? Throughout the ages, how many famous generals have eaten and lived with soldiers, such as Wu Qi in the Warring States Period, Feng Yi in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yue Fei in the Song Dynasty, etc., and their final achievements were outstanding and famous. It goes down in history and is admirable, but I have never seen them lose their status and make people laugh at them!"
"Sun Tzu's Art of War says: 'There are five ways to increase victory: He who knows what can be fought and what cannot be fought wins; He who knows how to use the many and the weak wins; He who has the same desire as those above and below wins; He who treats the unexpected with danger wins; He wins when the general is able but the king does not control him. The one who wins.' Among them, the so-called 'whoever has the same desire from above and below wins' means that only when the top and bottom are of the same mind can the army have cohesion. And to do this, sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers and gaining their love is a good way."
"If the army has cohesion, it will have combat effectiveness, and if it has combat effectiveness, it will win on the battlefield."
"In this case, it's too late for others to be envious, so how can they laugh at me."
Zhu Pingan shrugged and said with a smile.
The uncle talked a lot.
