In the face of Xiao Ruxun's simple and gentle reprimand, the generals looked at each other. Although they were still unhappy with Li Rusong, they did not dare to refute Xiao Ruxun's words in public and could only say "yes".
Seeing that Li Rusong was almost done, Xiao Ruxun turned to look at the generals.
"After Commander Li defeats this Northern Barbarians, everyone will have to split up and fight. Commander Chai, Commander Dong, your task is very difficult and dangerous. You must be cautious and not underestimate the enemy. We do not know if there are other Northern Barbarians invading Datong during the fall of Datong. If there are, the situation is unclear and it will be very dangerous. Do not split up and fight."
Chai Guozhu and Dong Yiyuan cupped their fists in acknowledgment.
Xiao Ruxun then looked at Nurhaci.
"General Tong, I have high hopes for you to be the vanguard this time. You have to scout the path for my army, but unless it's absolutely necessary, don't start a battle with the enemies you encounter. Avoid them if you can. Keep more sentries and be careful as we march."
Nurhaci hurriedly cupped his fists in acknowledgment. "I will follow Governor's instructions!"
"Mm!"
Xiao Ruxun smiled and then said, "Are you really willing to hand Chu Ying to me and let me keep him by my side?"
Nurhaci hurriedly said, "This is the honor of my family. Chu Ying can follow Governor Xiao. Even if he is a guard or a messenger, it is a good thing. It is an honor. I, I, am very grateful for Governor's kindness!"
Xiao Ruxun laughed.
"It doesn't matter. I also like Chu Ying. Let me take care of him for a few years. He will definitely become a valiant general. Your son is a good seedling. I don't have the heart to abandon him. Let him follow me!"
Nurhaci thanked again. "Thank you Governor for your kindness! I will immediately let Chu Ying pack up and become a personal guard by your side. I am willing to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire for Governor! "
"Hahahahaha, you don't have to do this, you don't have to do this. Just do your best. Go!"
Xiao Ruxun nodded, and Nurhachi left happily.
When he left, the generals around Xiao Ruxun were confused.
Letting his son learn from Governor Xiao?
It was such a good thing, but they didn't even get it. How could the son of a barbarian benefit from it?
"Governor, is what that barbarian said true?"
Chai Guozhu immediately asked.
Xiao Ruxun nodded.
"It's true. That child's name is Chu Ying. He's full of vigor, brave, and good at fighting. I'll keep him by my side and train him. He'll definitely be a good seedling to become a valiant general. In a few years, he'll be able to lead the army."
Chai Guozhu and Dong Yi Yuan looked at each other in puzzlement and said, "But that's a barbarian. Governor Xiao could have chosen anyone, but why did you choose a barbarian? If you are not a descendant of the Han family, how can you believe it so easily? I really don't understand. "
Xiao Ruxun looked at Chai Guozhu and Dong Yi Yuan and said with a smile, "It's precisely because he's a barbarian that I chose him."
Chai Guozhu and Dong Yi Yuan really couldn't understand.
"I really can't understand!"
Chai Guozhu and Dong Yi Yuan looked indignant.
"You seem to be waving your swords at Duke Pei!"
Xiao Ruxun looked at these generals meaningfully.
Chai Guozhu and Dong Yi Yuan looked at each other, feeling that their thoughts had been guessed.
"Governor, I has a son. He's 12 years old this year. He's not young anymore, but he's very naughty …"
"Governor, I also has a son. He's 14 years old this year. He's very brave and fierce, giving I a headache."
Seeing that the two hemmed and hawed and finally said these things, Xiao Ruxun knew that his guess was right.
"So you've taken a fancy to me and want me to discipline your child on your behalf?"
Chai Guozhu and Dong Yi Yuan lowered their heads in silence, their expressions were awkward.
But they didn't find it strange. Governor Xiao was the best in training and commanding troops, and was also the only governor who was a warrior. Since you're willing to teach a barbarian's son, why aren't you willing to teach the sons of your comrades in the army?
As long as you say you want a disciple and want to groom a new general, do you think the Daming General's family wouldn't be willing? Everyone would fight to the death to be here, okay? Why didn't you choose anyone? But you chose a barbarian! We're not convinced!
Xiao Ruxun naturally knew what they were thinking.
"Alright, if you have such thoughts, after this war ends, you can bring your children to find me. If they're suitable, I'll accept them and teach them some of my knowledge. How about that?"
Chai Guozhu and Dong Yi Yuan were elated and immediately cupped their fists, "Thank you, Governor!"
In the end, the generals behind them also shouted, "Thank you, Governor!"
Xiao Ruxun turned around and said with a smile, "Why? I promised Zongbing Chai and Zongbing Dong, not you guys. Why did you guys join in as well? Do you have a son that's hard to control? "
A general with the surname Sun quickly shouted, "Governor Xiao, you can't favor one and discriminate against the other! We're also a General's family! We're also a family! I's son is very stubborn and mischievous, he likes to brandish his spear and stick, chasing donkeys and beating horses. No matter how hard we beat him, he won't be obedient. I really can't do anything! "
"That's right, you said you don't have any sectarian bias, then just accept our sons as well! We can't do anything about that little brat I. Although we can recognize some words, we don't know anything else. We don't know how to raise our children, so please help us, Governor Xiao! "
"That's right, Governor Xiao, we really don't know how to teach those little brats well. We don't want them to be like us, living their lives aimlessly. Governor Xiao is the pride of us martial artists, so please help us, Governor Xiao!"
"We implore Governor Xiao to agree!"
The generals all got down on one knee, infuriating Dong Yiyuan and Chai Guozhu.
"Hey! I say, you really know how to climb up a pole! Why don't I see you fighting bravely in battle! "
"Don't you have any face? Governor Xiao is a busy man, so how could he have the time to teach his children? Don't you understand that it's the father's fault for not teaching his children? "
A general raised his head and chuckled. "I is willing to have my son recognize Governor Xiao as his adoptive father!"
Chai Guozhu was infuriated.
"What? You … "
Xiao Ruxun hurriedly stepped forward to stop the quarrel between these clowns.
"Okay, okay, I'm not busy. I'm just leading soldiers to fight. If one comes, I'll take them. If two comes, I'll still take them. As long as they're brave and willing to fight, there's nothing wrong. But there's no need for adoptive father. I alone can't take care of so many sons."
"Then … Governor Xiao agrees?"
The generals looked in delight at Xiao Ruxun.
"I agree. After this war, all of you will send your children to the capital. If I see that they're suitable, I'll take them!"
The generals were overjoyed.
"Many thanks, Governor Xiao!"
