Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

After Lu Xunhuan took several sets of clothes for men and women, he drove the carriage to the county magistrate's residence. He took the two of them into the residence and happened to meet the county magistrate's wife.

The county magistrate's wife asked, "Mr. Lu, why are you back so early today?"

Lu Xun Huan bowed and said, "Madam, my distant cousins ​​have come from Baocheng. Please allow them to stay in your house for a few days."

The county magistrate's wife's eyes were mostly directed at the young man. She smiled and said, "No problem, Mr. Lu, you can take your cousins ​​to rest. I will make the arrangements."

After the county magistrate's wife left, Lu Xunhuan brought the two of them into his residence, closed the door, and said, "Please allow Lu Suifeng to know your identities. I will know them in my own heart and will not reveal a single word to anyone else."

The woman said, "He is my thirty-year-old brother, known as Prince Nuo."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Liang Nuo."

The woman continued, "I am the thirty-sixth sister, and everyone calls me Princess Mi'er."

Lu Xunhuan nodded again: "Liang Mier."

He said to them, "Since I've already told the county magistrate's wife that you are my cousins, and my mother's surname is Yang, from now on, Prince Nuo, you will be called Yang Nuo, and Princess Mi, you will be called Yang Mi. Remember this."

The two nodded: "Remember."

After instructing the two, he called the maid: "Prepare bath water for my cousins. They need to bathe and change clothes, and then prepare food."

After the two maids left, Princess Mier said, "I'll follow you around from now on and write down everything I see every day. We'll observe for about a month, and then we'll go back."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Okay."

When Prince Nuo took a bath and changed into new clothes, the county magistrate's wife came out with a group of maids and servants, bringing a large pile of daily necessities.

She said to Lu Xunhuan, "Mr. Lu, could you introduce me?"

Lu Xunhuan introduced Prince Nuo, "My cousin, Yang Nuo."

The county magistrate's wife bowed and said, "Greetings, Master Nuo. Master Lu is a great sage in Yangshan County, and we all treat him as a distinguished guest. You are his cousin, and since you are visiting Yangshan County, you are naturally also a distinguished guest. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to ask for instructions, Master Nuo."

Prince Nuo responded, "You're welcome, thank you, ma'am."

The county magistrate's wife then instructed the maids and servants, "Hurry up and help Master Nuo prepare his accommodation. Also, bring up food and drinks as soon as possible."

Lu Xun Huan watched as a group of maids and servants brought in a large pile of things, and then he said to the county magistrate's wife, "Madam, keep everything simple. There's no need to be so polite."

The county magistrate's wife smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, in our hearts, you are as radiant as the sun and moon in the sky. Your cousins ​​are here, and as the county magistrate's wife, how dare I neglect them?"

She brushed her eyebrows intentionally or unintentionally: "If you are busy, go first, I will help you take care of your cousins."

She wanted Lu Xunhuan to help her draw her eyebrows many times later, but Lu Xunhuan always made the excuse that he was too busy and had no time.

Lu Xun Huan asked Prince Nuo, "Cousin, I do have things to do. How about you and my cousin take a rest first? When I come back in the evening, we can talk again."

Prince Nuo nodded and said, "Go."

Hearing the tone of his voice, Lu Xunhuan wanted to remind him, but it was difficult to do so in front of the county magistrate's wife.

He could only say to the county magistrate's wife, "Then, my cousins, please excuse me, Madam."

Prince Nuo is a prince after all. Out of habit, he naturally treats Lu Xunhuan as a subordinate. How can he change his habit of speaking condescendingly immediately?

But if he doesn't change, he will easily be suspected.

If he was really Lu Xunhuan's cousin, he should be more easy-going, more affectionate, and behave more naturally.

After Lu Xunhuan left the county magistrate's residence, he took a carriage and headed straight to the Yangshan County garrison camp.

Yangshan County, like Zhongzhou City on the other side of the Zhou Kingdom, has a garrison camp. It is usually used to guard against the invasion of the Zhou Kingdom’s army. Some soldiers are prepared here to quickly support the border in an emergency.

One of Lu Xunhuan's missions in infiltrating the Southern Liang Kingdom was to understand the local military situation.

Military intelligence includes the strength of troops on the border, the strength of the garrison camp in the rear, who is the general leading the troops, whether the general's ability is outstanding or mediocre, the combat effectiveness of the army, the training methods, the weapons and equipment, the proportion of each branch of the army, whether there is enough food and grass, and so on.

As he became a celebrity in Yangshan County, he got to know all the officials at all levels in the county government.

The garrison camp stationed outside Yangshan County had frequent interactions with county officials, so Lu Xunhuan naturally got to know them.

Even if he doesn't take the initiative to get to know others, others will take the initiative to make friends with him.

Who made him a disciple of the sage Liang Jizi, and who made him a famous figure in Yangshan County today?

He had made an appointment with the captain of the garrison yesterday and went to the army today to ask him to teach him how an army can be invincible.

In everyone's mind, he is Liang Jizi's disciple, so naturally he knows everything, as if he is a god, and he may even know how to give birth to a baby.

The carriage arrived at the gate of the garrison camp and Lu Xunhuan jumped off.

Immediately, a soldier saluted politely: "Mr. Lu, the captain has been waiting for you for a long time."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away."

He entered the camp gate and hurried straight to the military intelligence department of the garrison camp.

The so-called Military Intelligence Department is where the captains usually summon the captains, thousand-man commanders, etc. to discuss military affairs. It is also the place for meetings.

He walked in quickly and bowed, "Excuse me, everyone. I was delayed for a moment by a small matter. I am late."

The captain smiled and said, "Not too late, not too late. Master Lu is very busy. Being able to come here is already a great honor for me, Gao."

Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "You're too polite, Captain Gao."

The high school lieutenant made way for the front and said, "Mr. Lu, please."

Lu Xunhuan walked forward, facing everyone, looked at the group of captains and centurions sitting in an orderly manner, nodded and said, "The military appearance and discipline are very good. I believe they must be disciplined, brave and tenacious on the battlefield."

The high school lieutenant said, "Mr. Lu, you are too kind."

Lu Xun Huan waved his hand: "I'm not praising you too much, Captain Gao, you've trained well."

The lieutenant was naturally very happy to receive the praise. He bowed and said, "Thank you for the praise, Master Lu. Master Lu, please tell everyone about it."

Lu Xunhuan suddenly sighed: "Alas, there is no such thing as an invincible army in the world. Pity my Southern Liang's 600,000 soldiers..."

At the scene, everyone had a sad look on their face.

After a while, a captain said, "Master Lu, please teach us quickly. Once we learn it, we can avenge them."

Another captain said, "Yes, we must tear that Eighteenth Prince of Zhou into pieces."

Lu Xunhuan said, "The combat effectiveness of an army is composed of many factors. The first is the soldiers' training in peacetime. Only through hard training can we build an iron army."

The high school lieutenant applauded: "Yes, Master Lu said it well."

Everyone applauded: "Mr. Lu is right."

Lu Xun Huan added, "Secondly, it's the general's ability to plan and strategize. He can make plans within the tent and win the battle thousands of miles away."

The high school lieutenant said: "If he has this ability, he will definitely be a good general."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Yes, if you can do this, you will be a rare and good general."

A captain asked, "Master Lu, how can we plan within the tent and win the battle thousands of miles away?"

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Have you all read military books?"

At the scene, some people nodded and some shook their heads.

Lu Xun Huan said, "Those who have read military books, raise your hands. Even if you have read them casually, it counts."

At the scene, ten people raised their hands, and the remaining twenty-seven people did not raise their hands.

Lu Xunhuan gestured for everyone to lower their hands. "You are the backbone of the garrison battalion, and yet more than two-thirds of you have never read a military manual. When you are divided and surrounded by the enemy on a real battlefield, you will have to fight on your own without receiving orders from the commander-in-chief. You will have to lead the soldiers out of the encirclement on your own."

He said to the lieutenant, "Captain, I will assign you the first task: read military books. No matter whose book it is, everyone must read at least one."

The high school lieutenant nodded: "Okay, I will supervise them."

Lu Xun Huan continued the previous topic: "We just talked about soldiers and generals, and everyone has reached a consensus. So, besides soldiers and generals, what other factors determine the combat effectiveness of an army?"

From below, someone answered, "There are still military rations."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Yes, logistics support, life and death, anything else?"

Someone said, "And the weather."

Lu Xunhuan gave a thumbs-up. "That's right. Whether it's hot or cold, rainy or windy, snowy or foggy, weather factors like these often determine the outcome of a battle. Those who don't know how to fight go against the will of nature, while those who know how to fight seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. And those who are skilled in fighting are good at taking advantage of all weather conditions."

Below, everyone applauded.

The high school lieutenant praised: "Excellent, brilliant!"

Lu Xunhuan waited until the applause died down before asking, "Besides food and weather, what else could affect combat effectiveness?"

Someone answered, "And the terrain."

Lu Xunhuan applauded. "Very good. Topography, also known as geography, is everywhere the army goes. Mountains, canyons, plains, rivers, lakes, swamps, and so on. We can't just stick to the old ways, but must adapt to local conditions. We'll discuss this in more detail later."

He asked again, "Anything else?"

Below, everyone racked their brains for a while, but no one could come up with any solution.

Lu Xunhuan pointed to the heart and said, "People's hearts."

He elaborated, "The so-called just cause for war is about the will of the people. When we invade the Zhou Kingdom, should His Majesty inform the nation why we are waging such a war? If this war is simply for territory, it will appear less just, and the people's support will be diminished."

Someone asked, "Master Lu, if you say that, then none of the five kingdoms will fight each other. What's the point of having an army then?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "The five kingdoms in the world all share a common wish, which is to unify the world."

He smiled faintly and continued, "Yes, we must unify the world, but we must do a good job of propaganda. We unify the world not for any reason, not for any reason, not for any reason, not for any reason, not for any reason, not for any reason, but for the eternal peace of millions of people in the world. If we do this, the entire Southern Liang will support us in our crusade against the Zhou Kingdom."

He went on to say, "Our righteous public opinion will spread wherever it goes. By then, even the people of Zhou State, Dong Yan State and other places will support us."

"Wow", there was a burst of warm applause from below.

The lieutenant of the Gaoxiao School said, "Mr. Lu is truly worthy of being a disciple of the sage Liang Jizi. You have such far-sighted and insightful theories that we cannot even think of. Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading."

He stood up and said to the captains and captains, "To thank Master Lu, this captain will treat us tonight. Let's go to Yangshan Restaurant for dinner. Let's go watch some dancing and sword fighting."

"it is good……"

Everyone responded with warm applause again.
