Chapter 98: Just Tonight
A good leader should not only listen to what his subordinates say, but also see what his subordinates do.
There are always more people who talk more than those who do what they do,
And this kind of person is often the one who is most likely to destroy the foundation of a team.
And Ding Bong is playing such a role now.
The warships of Soochow are generally divided into building ships, fighting ships, ships, and boats.
Fighting ships and boats are the main force in combat, and ships can be used as fast transport ships.
Zhou Shao had ten ships under his account, and he also drove Han Dang's building ship over.
Under the operation of the people, 20,000 hui of rice grain was filled in five days
(Wu Guodangyang Taishou Wan Zhen once recorded that the large building ship can carry six or seven hundred people and then load 10,000 Hu materials, I considered the capacity of the ship, probably this calculation, the number is not very accurate),
His positive attitude was praised by Han Dang-
Indeed, it is indeed troublesome and delays manpower to drive ox carts to and fro to transport grain back and forth.
Prepare early, and save a lot of time when the war starts.
But Han Dang is a stable person after all, Lao Tzu Zhou Tai and the Supreme are lifelong friendships, Lao Tzu's friendship with the Supreme is not so deep, or be careful.
It's too late to toss when the day the troops are dispatched.
He only watched Zhou Shao load the ship himself, and did not command other troops to follow suit, which made Ding Feng a little disappointed.
The next few days were peaceful.
Out of trust in Ding Feng, Zhou Shao has been letting Ding Feng participate in military drills these days, and regards Ding Feng as his deputy general.
And Ding Feng did not disappoint Zhou Shao-
The future Soochow general was very good at handling interpersonal relationships in the army,
He quickly got along with the soldiers under Zhou Shao's command,
Seeing that most of them were from Shanyue, they did not beat and scold like other Wu generals, but also patiently instructed them in martial arts, and even secretly taught them some tips for escaping on the battlefield.
"Play dead,
Pretending to be dead is something you must learn. β
Ding Feng said unashamedly:
"Back then, Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, pretended to be dead and alive on the battle array, so he has today."
"Big brother, have you ever pretended to be dead?" His subordinate Wu Jun asked with a smile.
"Naturally,
When I was under Gan Ning that day, I was known for being the best at pretending to die. β
"Haha, big brother is bragging again,
I heard that General Gan Ning's subordinates are all heroic warriors who are not afraid of death, how can there be people who pretend to be dead? β
Ding Feng snorted coldly, and his eyes suddenly became a little lonely.
"When I was in my twenties, I was as enthusiastic as you.
When you enter the battle array, you must fight the enemy to the death. β
"At that time, the generals in the army were the first, and everyone knew my name.
But after years of fighting, what have I gained? β
Ding Feng said, slowly unbuttoning his shirt,
When everyone saw the dense carved scars on his bronzed muscles, they were all dumbfounded, and they were all stunned on the spot for a while.
In this era, there were no antibiotics, and even if some injuries did not die for a while, later infections could kill people.
Ding Feng was covered in scars, and he had definitely escaped from life and death countless times.
"What's the matter?"
Several Wu soldiers had wry smiles on their faces.
"We were originally natives in the mountains, and we were captured in the army as pawns, so we could only fight to the death in exchange for some food to eat.
Every time we fight, we are the first to make meritorious contributions, and we are always the credit of the officials.
The world is so big, can anyone else look down on me and wait, and can't promote someone from our background to be a general? β
Ding Feng showed a cruel smile on his face and said:
"Not necessarily."
A good leader either mingles with his subordinates,
Either you have to be rewarded and punished,
In this way, you can gain the allegiance of your subordinates.
In the past few days, he has been playing under Zhou Shao, and Ding Feng found that this young general is far inferior to his father.
This kid can't figure out the needs of his subordinates,
This is mediocrity.
As a result, he was a little more confident that his plan would succeed.
Β·
After another three days, the situation in Dongting suddenly became tense.
Ding Feng heard that a big man was about to arrive in Dongting,
This person has a special identity, and Han Dang seems to attach great importance to it.
He told his troops to temporarily stop drilling, frantically clean the barracks, pile all kinds of miscellaneous items in the camp into the tent to cover them, and told his subordinates not to talk nonsense when they see the big man.
If something goes wrong, he will be beheaded and punished.
As for the identity of the big man, there was a lot of speculation in the army, and Han Dang didn't say it explicitly.
Zhou Shao believes that this should be a signal that the Wu army is going to attack,
It is possible that it is Lu Yi, a partial general who is stationed in Lukou,
Dante Bong doesn't think so.
Lu Yi is just a partial general, although his status is higher than Han Dang, but he also has limited heights.
Han Dang's qualifications are far from being comparable to Lu Yi, and he is an important person of the Jiangbei faction of Eastern Wu, so he will never put on such a cautious posture to meet Lu Yi.
"Nine out of ten people who come are the supreme ministers, or the famous people of Eastern Wu, who specially came here to visit, so as to tell the supreme what they have seen and heard."
"So, what should I do?"
Ding Feng smiled mildly and began to teach Zhou Shao his experience in dealing with the leader's inspection.
"The general is the general of Han Gong's department, and he should advance and retreat with Han Gong,
What Han Gong asked the general to do, the general did not hesitate to do, and it was better than Han Gong's request.
In this way, Han Gong can rely more on the general. β
The most important principle of superior inspection is "it can be reactive, but it cannot be overcome".
The most taboo thing for a leader is that his subordinates take advantage of the inspection from above to show off and be inconsistent with their own pace.
The above inspection is just a gust of wind, and it will never quickly promote you because of your brilliant performance,
But the boss is always there,
If he finds out that you are messing around and causing problems for yourself, he will definitely hurry up and put a pair of small shoes on you.
Zhou Shao suddenly realized when he heard this, and hurriedly said:
"General Han asked me to wait to clean the barracks, so I ......"
"So we've got to go with all of our troopsβ
Tell his men to wash their robes and clean their tents.
The sword in his hand also had to be polished shiny.
When the officer arrives and sees that our army is strong, he will definitely ask the general's name. β
"It's time to ......"
When the time comes, people will definitely praise Zhou Taihu's father for having no dogs.
It's exciting to think about.
Zhou Shao nodded hurriedly and said excitedly:
"I'll do it."
Β·
That night, except for one person who had secretly rowed a boat upstream to report the news, the other three men who came with Ding Feng were all called into the account by Ding Feng.
He poured four bowls of wine and said calmly:
"It's time to start."
"When to do it?"
"Tonight!"
As he spoke, Ding Feng picked up a bowl, drank all the turbid wine in the bowl, and said with a smile:
"Gentlemen, the prince of the world is far-sighted, although we are in the nest of enemies, as at home,
Tonight, we will be victorious,
If you want to go, go now, if you want to stay and serve the son of the world, you drink this bowl of wine. β
The three of them knew that there was no turning back from the bow now,
Seeing the solemnity of what Ding Feng said, they all grabbed the bowl and drank it all.
"May I die for the Son!"
Β·
In the middle of the night, Wu Jun's Baqiu Water Village was silent.
At night, several soldiers on night patrol saw Ding Feng yawning and hurriedly walked by with an impatient look, and quickly stopped for interrogation.
"Who are you?"
"A certain Lu Yi," Ding Feng yawned and raised the token in his hand,
"My general said that the fish paste stinks, let me find some way to cover it, so as not to annoy the official,
This midnight three watches, yawning...... I also......
Hey, it's hard to disobey your fate. β
The soldiers on the night patrol saw Ding Feng's lazy face, and they all showed sympathetic looks, and let Ding Feng go without asking too much.
Speaking of which, a few days ago, when carrying fish paste, Ding Feng was also a familiar face.
He brought with him a soldier who was just as spiritless as him, and there would be no problem.
"Brother Lu worked hard, let's go back and rest early."
Ding Feng thanked with a smile,
He looked at the warehouse not far away where the fish paste was stored, and stretched hard.
"Hey, I'm afraid I can't rest tonight."
