Yang Wu had brought back a stack of official documents from the cold-faced adjutant. They recorded the information of everyone in the Death Legion, the contribution points they had earned, and the various important matters that the Death Legion had to deal with.
These official documents gave Yang Wu a headache. However, Lu Zhi had already categorized them and quickly made comments, indicating the next step of the solution and emergency measures.
Yang Wu scanned through the records here. Among them, he was most concerned about the winter storage plan. It was written: "Divide into groups to guard and hunt. Food will be divided equally. Half of the food will be stored in the legion, and the other half will be handled by individuals. Animal skins can be used as winter clothing and do not need to be turned in. Build bonfire pits and collect wood to keep warm. Similarly, this will be carried out in batches.
Two birds with one stone … "The plans that Lu Zhi listed were very simple to understand and not difficult to implement. However, it was really not easy for him to come up with a solution in such a short period of time.
In the past, the Death Legion was like a plate of loose sand. Now, they had to follow Lu Zhi's suggestion and manage them together to form an effective combat team. Not only did they have to survive this winter, but they also had to make use of this winter to generally improve the combat awareness of these soldiers.
Such a proposal went straight to Yang Wu's heart.
Yang Wu was a member of the Death Legion and had a deep understanding of how everyone worked for themselves. Everyone did their own thing and it was difficult to form a structured battle. Even if they went to hunt the barbarians, they would most likely die. However, there were many experts in the General Realm in the Death Legion, and the others were all at the Warrior Realm. If they could be grouped together, not only could they reduce the casualties, but they could also allow everyone to hunt for contribution points.
In any case, everything in the Death Legion was managed by themselves and did not need to care about the feelings of the other barracks. This way, there would not be any obstacles.
Lu Zhi's only concern was, "The people in the Death Legion are not fierce people. Can they be disciplined?"
This wasn't a problem for Yang Wu. Even if he couldn't discipline them, the nine deputy commanders would certainly be able to discipline them.
"Vice Commander, I … cough cough … I can only watch this much. There's still a third left. Can you give me a little more time?" Lu Zhi covered his mouth and coughed.
He was afraid that Yang Wu would be dissatisfied and kick him out. After all, he had tried his best. Being able to see so much in half a day and come up with a solution was already his limit.
"Ha ha, no rush, no rush. We have plenty of time. Let's drink some wine first." Yang Wu laughed.
Lu Zhi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no. I'll drink it after I'm done."
He was afraid that Yang Wu would ask him to leave after he finished drinking, so he was determined not to drink. He had to find a way to stay. He had enough of the days outside. He was bullied all day long, and food was a big problem. Now that the opportunity to turn over a new leaf was in front of him, he had to seize it.
Yang Wu patted Lu Zhi's shoulder and said solemnly, "Don't worry. You will be this vice commander's advisor in the future. All the important matters here will be handed over to you, so you don't have to worry."
"Re … really? Cough cough! "Lu Zhi exclaimed excitedly.
"Of course. The way you handle things is very clear. I think it's feasible. With you around in the future, I can rest assured." Yang Wu had completely forgotten about Lu Zhi's bragging. He felt that perhaps Lu Zhi was born to be an advisor.
"The heavens have taken pity on me, the heavens have taken pity on me. I, Lu Zhi, finally have someone who appreciates me." Lu Zhi cried out a few times with tears streaming down his face. He then bowed respectfully to Yang Wu.
This etiquette was many times more solemn than when he had knelt before. It was clear that it came from the bottom of his heart.
"Advisor, you don't have to do this!" Yang Wu said as he helped Lu Zhi up.
Lu Zhi held Yang Wu's hand and said excitedly, "I, Lu Zhi's greatest wish in this life is to be an unparalleled strategist who can devise strategies in a tent. It's a pity that I've met so many extraordinary people. Today, I have met my lord. I will do my best until my death!"
Lu Zhi's appearance was perhaps the best proof of a gentleman dying for his own sake. He was practically itching to treat Yang Wu as his second parent. His eyes were filled with a burning passion.
Yang Wu felt goosebumps rise. He forcefully pulled his hand back and said, "Don't be so excited. Just call me vice commander. Do well, I won't treat you unfairly."
"Yes, my lord!" Lu Zhi immediately said with a serious expression.
Yang Wu slapped his forehead. He was too lazy to pay attention to Lu Zhi. He was afraid that the more he spoke, the more excited this fellow would become. He took out some wine and meat and once again ate and drank with Lu Zhi. At the same time, they chatted about official matters.
As expected, once Lu Zhi started talking about official matters, his entire person became extremely spirited. There was no trace of his previous cowardly appearance. His words were organized and supported by evidence. He even refuted some of Yang Wu's viewpoints and opinions.
Only now did Yang Wu understand that Lu Zhi was the real deal. Compared to the spineless person from before, he was practically a different person.
"Wait until tomorrow. I'll carry out the plan according to your method. If it works, I'll give you a thousand merit points!" Yang Wu said very seriously.
"Many thanks, my lord!" Lu Zhi thanked him.
Yang Wu was too lazy to correct Lu Zhi's form of address. He said to Lu Zhi, "You can stay here tonight. Tomorrow, I'll have someone build a tent for you."
Lu Zhi was extremely moved. In his heart, his loyalty to Yang Wu had already reached the point of death.
Lu Zhi had followed his parents everywhere since he was young. At that time, his parents were still running a small business and lived a decent life. Later, they encountered bandits and his parents were killed. He was lucky enough to survive. However, he lived a life of vagrancy. When he arrived at a poor county, he used the last of his parents' belongings to support his studies. This was also his parents' only wish after their death. They hoped that he could become a scholar and one day be an official in the imperial court. He could rule the country and bring peace to the world.
It was also at that time that he was fortunate enough to attend a few of Xun Rui's classes. He was even tricked by Xun Rui into buying a book called "24 Volumes on Governing the World and Saving the Nation". According to that old man, this was a work of wisdom that he had painstakingly written. He wouldn't sell it to normal people. He only sold it to Lu Zhi because he liked him and felt that he had the root of wisdom.
At that time, Lu Zhi was full of fighting spirit. He felt that he would be an unparalleled strategist in the future. He would enter the imperial court and be conferred the title of Marquis in the near future.
Later, he barely managed to pass the examination and become a scholar. He couldn't even become a Juren. This was a big blow to him. However, he still looked forward to the future because he firmly believed in the words of the sage: "When Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility on a man, it must first torment his will, toil his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, empty his body and walk, and disturb his actions. Therefore, his heart is moved and his nature is tempered, and he can do what he can't …"
It wasn't until he was sent to the Death Legion that he completely gave up. All of this was just nonsense. His life was already precarious. How could he talk about the ideal of ruling the country? He was just a small figure destined to be a tragedy.
During this period of time in the Death Legion, Lu Zhi's mentality suffered a serious blow. This was also the reason why he became so servile.
Now, he finally saw a glimmer of hope. Naturally, he would tightly hug Yang Wu's thigh and not let go.
Moreover, Yang Wu's deeds had already spread throughout the entire military camp. There was no one who didn't know about it. Even Zhou Yong specially told him to properly grasp this opportunity. He knew that following Yang Wu would at least give him meat to eat. Whether or not he could change his fate, he didn't want to think about it for the time being.
Yang Wu let Lu Zhi sleep on his bed. Lu Zhi was unwilling no matter what. He waited until Yang Wu took out his dignity as the Deputy Regiment Commander. Only then did he obediently submit.
Lu Zhi curled up in the quilt. He looked at Yang Wu and nervously said: "Deputy Regiment Commander, you … you won't do anything to me, right? I … I'm actually sick."
"You don't need to emphasize it to me. I'm only interested in women. I have no interest in you." Yang Wu rolled his eyes.
"Then I'm relieved," Lu Zhi said with a sigh of relief.
Yang Wu was really speechless. He felt that Lu Zhi was really the best. He had the same personality as Old Master Xun Rui.
Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea. Since he could use Lu Zhi, it would be better to use Xun Rui. He believed that the old man also wanted to get out of the mountain prison. He didn't have the ability to interfere with the affairs there now, but he might be able to persuade the Rose of Death to help him.
Since the day he separated from the Rose of Death, he had been unable to find her. He still had something important to discuss with her.
Yang Wu sat down cross-legged and meditated. He wanted to expand his Universal Space again and familiarize himself with the functions of his Divine Court Dao Flower.
Previously, after he broke through to the General Realm, his Universal Space directly increased to the size of three cubic meters. This was a natural increase. In addition, he could expand it again.
He activated the power of his dantian and then activated the mental power in the Divine Court. The two combined and used the eight extraordinary scriptures as a bridge to generate new power to expand his Universal Space.
After the Divine Court Dao Flower bloomed, Yang Wu felt that his spiritual sense was extremely powerful. This was also the reason why he could repel Xue Ji's fatal embroidery needle.
He didn't use the power of sound waves to repel the embroidery needle. Instead, he used the impact formed by his mental power.
At that time, he didn't think too much. He only tried to activate the Divine Court Dao Flower to save himself. In fact, he did succeed.
His Divine Court Dao Flower's mental power formed an invisible ocean. It was very majestic. His spiritual sense was not inferior to any King's. Some Kings couldn't even compare to it.
With the combination of the power of his dantian and mental power, his Universal Space once again expanded to the size of five cubic meters.
Now, it could accommodate more things.
At this moment, Yang Wu suddenly saw the strange power in his kidney. He took a closer look and exclaimed, "Oh my God, when did my kidney grow a pair of wings?"
Lu Zhi, who had been sleeping restlessly, was so scared that he fell off the bed when he heard Yang Wu's strange cry.
