Just after noon, the imperial chariot driven by the imperial servant Chen Bi, and the book of the law driving with the imperial chariot, appeared in front of the Nanying outside the Anmen.

Chai Wu, who was already dressed in military uniform, led the army to wait here, looked at Liu Hong, who was also in full armor and helmets, and was supported by Ling Mian to step down from the imperial chariot, and couldn't help but light up.

- For the army of the feudal era, the emperor's military uniform is almost the greatest collective honor!

Because this move will bring a very simple signal to the soldiers: all the soldiers are the pillars of the country; If you don't meet in uniform, you can't express my respect!

Whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, the pursuit of a person's life is nothing more than material money power and spiritual recognition; Compared with the material reward of wine, meat, money and food, this kind of spiritual encouragement is undoubtedly more desired by the soldiers.

However, after seeing the cattle and sheep driven by the low-level officials of the Shaofu followed by the Son of Heaven's Lu Book, as well as the bronze tripods pulled by carriages, the Flying Fox soldiers reacted: Today's highlight should be in the Southern Army.

This did not make the Flying Fox soldiers feel that Liu Hong was 'favoring one over the other' - as early as the afternoon of the Flying Fox Army's arrival in Nanying, the Son of Heaven had already brought wine, meat and corn to Nanying in person, and ate and drank with the Flying Fox soldiers!

And if Your Majesty wants to reward the Flying Fox Army, there is no need to bring Ding here - stationed in the mountains and forests of Flying Fox Mouth all year round, the Flying Fox soldiers have long been accustomed to eating half-cooked meat!

Set up a bonfire and eat it simply and rudely, which is the favorite way to eat meat for the flying fox soldiers.

On that day, the Son of Heaven even lit a bonfire with his own hands, sat around the fire with the low-level soldiers of the Flying Fox Army, skewered meat with arrows, and ate it!

In comparison, the pomp and circumstance that His Majesty prepared for the Southern Army today is not as good as that day.

- The army in the feudal era should be the easiest group to buy: if you give an official a knight, you can get the loyalty of the army, reward money and food, and you can also get the army's follow.

It's really poor to be good, so make a posture of 'undressing and pushing food', and the same white prostitute will be recognized by the army!

Unlike the simple Flying Fox soldiers, Chai Wu had already received the news that Liu Hong was about to leave Nanying; Chai Wu knows a lot about Liu Hongdi's intentions.

In that battle, the northern army roared 'kill Zhulu', the southern army shouted 'defend Sheji', and the only two guards fought on the wall of Weiyang Palace, chasing and slashing on the streets of Chang'an, so that the original 6,000 fighters of the southern army were reduced to less than 1,000 walking corpses in the southern camp.

As an 'imperial party', Chai Wu has long received some obscure gossip: His Majesty intends to restore the Southern Army.

However, in Chai Wu's view, the revitalization and reorganization of the Southern Army is no less difficult than using new recruits as pawns to retrain an elite army!

Since the time of Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang, the soldiers of the Southern Army have all been composed of troops brought out by Liu Bang from Pei County, that is, the 'Shandong Old Brothers' and their descendants.

The first generation of Southern Army soldiers were better, although in most of the battles, they served as Taizu Liu Bang's personal guards of the Chinese army, but at least they experienced the baptism of the anti-Qin war and the Chu and Han hegemony.

Although it is not a hundred victorious divisions, it can be regarded as a long-term battle formation, and its combat effectiveness is still above the level line.

However, since Liu Bang's last imperial expedition to suppress the rebellion of Huainan Wang Yingbu (黥布), the southern army has not moved from the southern camp outside Chang'an for more than 20 years.

The veterans who experienced the baptism of war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, almost all of whom are still alive are already in high positions; Now among the soldiers and soldiers in Nanying, the veterans who participated in the war at the end of Qin and the Chu and Han dynasties for hegemony are afraid that they can be counted on one hand.

That is to say, almost all of the soldiers in Nanying today are the heroes selected from Pei County after the world has roughly stabilized, as well as the sons of good families.

Chai Wu still felt very admired for such a group of fancy and young master soldiers who could fight with 6,000 enemies and 10,000 enemies in the Zhulu Rebellion to the point where the loss rate exceeded eighty percent, and never thought of retreating or fleeing.

- In the army of the feudal era, the morale of the army will be depressed if one achievement is lost, and the muscles and bones will be broken if it exceeds three achievements; More than half, almost certainly collapse!

However, the southern army was able to lose more than eighty percent and could not see the dawn of victory at all, still standing firmly on the wall of Weiyang Palace, shouting 'Defend the Son of Heaven, defend Sheji', and then rush to the Northern Army battle array led by Zhou Bo as if it were death!

This bloodiness alone is enough to make Chai Wu give a thumbs up and praise: worthy of being a soldier of Pei County!

But admiration is admiration, if Chai Wu really wants to be selected, Chai Wu would rather summon thousands of good people with no experience in the army and train from scratch than to rectify such a force with collapsed faith.

——At the moment when the battle gradually came to an end and the victory of the princes and ministers was in sight, the only thing that supported the southern army from collapsing was the belief in the hearts of the soldiers: Behind us is Your Majesty, and we, as forbidden pawns, should defend Sheji to the death!

But in the end, Nanying, who thought he was protecting the Son of Heaven, was labeled as a thief, but it was the Northern Army that attacked the palace and became a hero!

This was an almost devastating blow to the soldiers of the southern battalion.

If a new army is created, it will only start from scratch; And the reorganization of the Southern Army starts from a negative number...

That's a thankless job!

Therefore, Chai Wu is actually pessimistic about Liu Hong's intention to revive the southern army - the first thing that needs to be done to regain the combat effectiveness of an army with collapsed beliefs is to re-establish faith for them.

Even though Liu Hong's scheming and scheming have refreshed Chai Wu's perception of the age of 'fourteen' several times, Chai Wu instinctively does not want to believe that the young son of heaven, who was born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of women, knows neither joy nor worry, has any good way to deal with today's Southern Army.

Thinking like this, Chai Wu stepped forward and bowed his hand: "Che Cavalry General Flying Fox Du Wei Chenwu, see Your Majesty, my emperor Changle Weiyang." ”

On Liu Hong's face today, the faint smile that used to be hung by default is gone; The eyes under the bronze helmet were full of sharpness, and the face was full of seriousness.

"General Toil."

Seeing Liu Hong's appearance, Chai Wu nodded secretly, and then bowed: "The soldiers of the Southern Army have all gathered in the school field. As he spoke, Chai Wu leaned slightly sideways and gave up his position and motioned for Liu Hong to go first.

- If you are not optimistic, you are not optimistic, the Son of Heaven wants to try, and Chai Wu has no reason to stop it for no reason.

As a martial artist, Chai Wu's view of young people is that they should experience more setbacks in order to lay a good foundation for future success; is too smooth, and it is undoubtedly a big hidden danger for young people, especially young people who hold the power of the world like a young man.

In Chai Wu's view, the reorganization of the Southern Army was a good opportunity for the young son of heaven to 'experience setbacks'.

Liu Hong did not go straight as Chai Wu expected, but turned around and glanced at the generals in the entourage who were not familiar with Chai Wu.

"Who's that man?"

Without waiting for Chai Wu to understand, the warrior quietly disappeared into Liu Hong's entourage and walked towards the camp without a trace.

When he turned his head again, Liu Hong's face was full of solemnity and solemnity.

"Please also ask the general to lead the way."

Looking at the confidence in Liu Hong's eyes, as well as the surging vitality, Chai Wu couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment - when Emperor Taizu Gao was there, Emperor Xiaohui was also this heroic posture...

"General?"

With a light call, Chai Wu's wandering spirit was pulled back; Raising his head, seeing Liu Hongzheng looking at him with a little surprise, Chai Wu hurriedly bowed his head and bowed again: "The minister really doesn't dare to go ahead of His Majesty, please go first..."
