"Your Highness, why are you here so late?"
Seeing Liu Qi's arrival, Han Zhong quickly sat up from the cushion.
Liu Qi smiled as he looked at the uneaten food on the table and a defense blueprint lying on the table.
"It's so late, doesn't Old General Han have nothing to do?"
"Your Highness is joking. There is such a big thing happening in the palace now. Your Majesty has specially asked the old minister to rearrange the defenses. Such an important task must be taken seriously!"
As a veteran of two dynasties, Han Zhong is trustworthy both in terms of ability and character.
It's a pity that if he hadn't suffered from too many old injuries, the late emperor was worried that it would be difficult for him to continue fighting on the battlefield. It is very possible that he would have become a famous general in the world.
Therefore, among the military attachés of the imperial court, Liu Qi had special respect for him.
"Thank you for your hard work, old general."
"The old minister has become rotten. The emperor can respect the old minister and still let him serve. This is my blessing. How can I say it is hard work?"
If it were anyone else, Liu Qi would still think that these were polite words, but when they came out of Han Zhong's mouth, he could feel a sense of sincerity.
As Han Zhong stepped back and raised his hand, Liu Qi naturally sat on the mat.
"Your Highness must have something to do when you come to the old minister's tent so late?"
"The general is straightforward, so I will tell you straightforwardly."
"What do you think of Bai Qi?"
As the first commander of Lantian Camp, Liu Qi wanted to know what kind of attitude he held now.
Han Zhong chuckled lightly.
"Your Highness, to be honest, from the moment I saw this child, I felt very familiar with him."
"He is so similar to General Le. Not only is he humble, but he is also extremely reserved. When he does things, he is very resolute and unique."
"It's just that he is a bit dull and doesn't seem to understand the ways of the world. Many generals want to be friends with him, but they are not allowed to get close to him."
"But these are all trivial matters. A capable person will naturally have a different personality. I will not mistake him. With time, this boy will definitely become a good general."
Liu Qi nodded.
What Han Zhong said was quite to the point, and he did not say that he was praising him because he was a disciple of General Le.
"Oh, what do other generals think of him?"
"Hey, I will tell you the truth. In the past, everyone had mixed opinions, but since today's court meeting, everyone has learned about Bai Qi's life experience. Those who went to Nanying to visit him during the day have not survived."
Liu Qi was not surprised at all.
All these generals wanted to know through Bai Qi why General Le had sent him here.
"What about Bai Qi?"
"No one paid any attention to that boy. He acted as if nothing had happened. He continued to practice as usual. Seeing that he was not friendly, these individuals left in disgrace."
Liu Qi was very pleased with what Han Zhong said.
How many people don't like to be sought after by others, and how many people don't want to make friends with a group of powerful generals to pave the way for their future career.
But Bai Qi is one of these few people.
Just because he is a disciple of General Leji, he is not proud of himself, nor does he forget about himself.
"General, didn't you go?"
Han Zhong smiled and shook his head.
"I have no time to join in the fun. Although everyone knows now that he is a disciple of General Le, in the military camp, he is just an ordinary captain."
After hearing this, Liu Qi admired the conduct of General Han Zhong even more.
He is indeed a veteran, how can ordinary people know him so well?
"General, I just heard you say that he does things in a unique way. Why is he so unique?"
Speaking of this, Han Zhong's expression suddenly became serious.
"Your Highness, Bai Qi's way of training soldiers is different from all other generals."
"He divided the soldiers in the army into three classes."
"Those who can successfully complete the training tasks on that day are considered first-class people and can enjoy the prepared rich meat."
"Those who can only complete the training mission can enjoy broth and dry food."
"Those who can't complete the task, hehe, are pitiful. They can only eat some dry steamed buns."
This training method is indeed very special and is a good motivation method, but Liu Qi is still a little strange.
"General, I'm a little confused about what you said. People are different. Some people have better physical abilities and some have weaker abilities."
"Some people are smart, and some people are dull. In this way, the strong will always enjoy the best, and the weak will always experience the worst."
Han Zhong shook his head and waved his hand.
"Your Highness, this is the brilliance of Bai Qi."
"This man is really amazing. He has set up several training plans, and everyone can choose on their own."
"If you think you are good at running, go to the assault team. If you think you have good eyesight, go to the archery team. If you think you are strong, then go to the heavy armor team."
"Anyway, there are all kinds of teams, and every soldier has his own choice. If this one doesn't work, you can switch to the next one tomorrow. As long as one can be completed well, then there will definitely be meat to eat today."
Liu Qi chuckled lightly.
"What if everything can't be done?"
"Then he can only admit that he is unlucky and become a big-headed soldier who is only willing to work in a nest."
"However, under this kind of training, what the veteran saw was that those soldiers were like wolf cubs. They howled and screamed every day during training."
"It's not that you want to eat meat. No one wants to admit that you are worse than others. If you can eat meat, why can't I?"
To be honest, to be evaluated like this by Han Zhong, Bai Qi's ability is really nothing to say.
"Old General Han, I have another question. Since you think this method is effective, why don't other generals in the military camp follow suit?"
Han Zhong sighed softly.
"Your Highness, what you can see is just superficial. How can real training be learned casually?"
"Not to mention anything else, just the way Bai Qi inspires people, let alone the other generals in Lantian, even I think he is not as good as him."
Unexpectedly, Bai Qi, who is usually not good at words, is actually a master of encouragement when it comes to training troops.
He had already seen this from the first time he trained ten people.
"Thank you, General."
"Your Highness, you're welcome. I'm just telling the truth."
As soon as Han Zhong finished speaking, Liu Qi stood up and prepared to walk out of the camp.
"Old General Han, please stay. I am going to visit the South Camp."
"Okay, I won't send you off, I will send you off to Your Highness here."
But just when Liu Qi walked to the door, he suddenly turned his head.
"General, if one day the Qing Kingdom needs you to fight on the battlefield, will you still be able to fight?"
