Behind the humble hut, in front of the filthy pig prison, a gray-haired old peasant was busy pouring the crushed pig food into the circle, and seven or eight fat-headed and big-eared pigs were humming and screaming, and they were all around to fight for food.

The old man shouted in his mouth, and the long wooden ladle in his hand skillfully swept left and right, and when the pigs were evenly separated, they also restrained the competition of the pigs. Looking at the growing domestic animals, the layers of wrinkles on the old man's face did not stretch out, but revealed a trace of fear, the wooden ladle in his hand was trembling uncontrollably, and a pair of cloudy old eyes also secretly aimed behind him from time to time. That's because.......

Ten steps away from the prison, dozens of soldiers in Han army uniforms were standing neatly, staring at the old man's every move without blinking, until he saw that his forehead was oozing sweat, and his heart was weak, like a thorn in his back, and his liver and gallbladder were hanging in the air.

About half an hour ago, the old man got up early as usual, and just came to the back of the house, and suddenly found a large group of fierce Han soldiers standing outside the prison at some point, and he was almost not startled to sit on the ground, but the soldiers aimed at their captive domestic animals and came to fight for the tooth sacrifice.

Just when he was uneasy, he saw a Han soldier make a gesture and signal him to continue his work. This made the old man even more panicked, could it be that he was not only trying to rob the pig, but also what other intentions...... But I don't have anything of value anymore!

The imaginary looting didn't happen, but it got weirder. The Han soldiers stood up straight without saying a word, and looked at the old man with a solemn face, without any move....... but the more this happened, the more frightened the old man became. Finally, he dropped the work in his hand and knelt down to the Han soldiers with a "porphyr" sound: "Ladies and gentlemen, you can take whatever you want, spare the little old man!" ”

A pair of warm palms stretched out, gently holding up the old man's body like a broken candle in the wind, and a voice said apologetically: "Blame us for not making it clear in advance, but it scared the old man!" ”

The old man almost couldn't believe his ears, he suddenly raised his head, looked at the smiling young man in front of him, and said in surprise, "Who are you?" What to do? ”

"Don't worry, old man, we have no malicious intentions, just come and see!" A soft female voice came, which made the old man hear it even more clearly, there were women in these Han army? And the woman's next sentence made the old man roll his eyes again, and sat down on the spot: "The one who talks to the old man is our Lord Bohai Taishou......"

"Taishou... Taishou-sama! The old man was so frightened that he changed his tone, although the biggest official he had ever seen in his life was just a pavilion chief, but he knew what the word Taishou meant, and now the county Taishou is a great general who is secretly passed down in the rural slang!

The young man with long hair and scattered shoulders glared fiercely at the female soldier who opened his mouth, helped the old man up again, and smiled softly: "I'm too nominal, don't pay attention to the old man!" ”

When he saw that the old man looked like he wanted to kneel but didn't dare to kneel, he smiled again, stretched out his hand to dust off the old man's body, and didn't care at all about the smell on the old man's body: "The elders are respected!" The old man doesn't have to salute, but he has something to ask! ”

Having said that, even if the old man was dull, he understood one thing: how could the dignified Taishou plot such an insignificant old man as himself? And the sincere look on the face of this young Taishou made the old man's heart move even more, and he remembered all kinds of legends of this Taishou.......

"Little old man obeys his fate!" The fear in the old man's heart gradually faded, he bowed, and a smile appeared on his face: "Don't you dare to ask, just ask what the adults want to ask, and the little old man will definitely answer truthfully!" ”

"I saw the old man's pigs, all of them are shiny and strong, I don't know if there is a secret?" The young Taishou never called himself "the official", and the old man was even more flattered, and when he heard about the livestock he raised, he immediately came to his senses.

"Thank you, sir, for the compliment!" The old man smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Actually, there is no secret! ”

He pouted at the big basket on the side: "Lao Er has been raising livestock for many years, and accidentally discovered a secret, that is, the aquatic plants abundant on the countless tidal flats of our Bohai Sea, which are especially suitable for feeding fat pigs...... It's just a little experience! ”

"That's right!" The young man was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Sure enough, it is a talent!" ”

"Old man, I have something to ask for, I don't know if it's okay?" He said: "I believe the old man also knows that I am not only a taishou, but also a general, and tens of thousands of young athletes under my subordinates are training hard to protect their families and defend the country, and many boys are at a critical time to grow their bodies...... Ben has always wanted to build a place where the animals are kept in captivity, so that they can replenish their bodies! ”

"What do you think?" The old man shook slightly, and narrowed his old eyes.

"I want to ask the old man to come and help!" The young man said calmly: "No matter what the result is, the future life of the old man will be taken care of by my Bohai County Guard!" ”

"Haha! The little old man is happy! The old man's eyes suddenly widened, and he laughed a little forgetfully: "Don't hide it from the adults, the son of the little old man is now a pawn in the adult army!" The adults love their subordinates so much, and the little old man must do his best when he dies! ”

Seeing the old man dancing and packing up, the young man turned around and smiled at the stunned subordinates: "Allow you to ask questions...... Do you understand the meaning of the general who ordered you to come early in the morning to watch the pigs be fed? ”

"Subordinates understood!" A big man took a step forward: "The first thing in training is to strengthen the body, if there is no strong logistics supply, how can the soldiers endure the heavy training task?" The general recruited that old man in order to increase the combat strength of the soldiers! ”

"Makes sense!" The young general nodded.

"Subordinates think!" Another young man with a handsome face stood up: "As the general said, talent comes from the line!" The deep meaning of the general is to discipline us and always discover the talents around us! This is also a continuation of the general's talk about selecting generals and training generals and selecting troops a few days ago...... If we want to continue to be strong, we need all kinds of people to use for me! ”

"It's kind of interesting! That's a good point! The young general's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head and said, "It's a pity, but it's not the general's intention!" ”

"The purpose of the general is to win people's hearts, right?" A woman's crisp voice sounded: "Did the general know that the old man's son was our new sergeant?" Once the old man settles in the new city to preside over the livestock plan, it will not be long before the general's reputation of caring for his subordinates and treating military families well will spread...... In this way, not only the soldiers will return to their hearts, the people's aspirations, and the general's eclectic name of knowing people and being good at their duties, but also will make Bohai and surrounding talents flock to it! Hee-hee, what a good plan to kill birds with one stone! ”

"Hugh wants to spend the belly of the general with the heart of a villain!" The young general shook his head again and again when he heard this: "Mengyi, you have a lot of tricks in your own belly, but don't look down on others as exquisite as you!" ”

"Ben will declare that he really didn't know about the old man's situation beforehand!" He said calmly: "Even the recruitment of the old man is a complete coincidence!" ”

"What?" Not only did the heroic female general widen her beautiful eyes, but even her subordinates were stunned: "So what is the purpose of the general?" ”

"It's actually quite simple!" The general turned around and pointed to the houses scattered in the fields near and far: "I want you to see the lives of the people!" ”

"You have all seen with your own eyes, what is the picture of the old man working at sunrise and sleeping at sunset?" There was a hint of sentimentality in the general's voice: "The temples are pale, the body is filthy, and it is still so hard, but it is just for two words: live!" ”

"Mengyi, there is one sentence that you are not wrong!" He said in a deep voice: "The soldiers return to their hearts, and the people's hearts are wanted...... Yes, because whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world! ”

"No matter what achievements you have achieved in the future, and what high positions you have ascended, I would like you to remember one thing: be kind to the people!" The general's handsome eyes suddenly shone brightly: "Don't think that you can despise the lives of others by force, persecuting the people will only bring disaster to yourself, because they have nothing to fear of losing, including their own lives...... On the contrary, give them a little hope of survival, and they will follow us regardless of life or death! ”

"I think that day, this general once told you the ultimate in governing the army: the pawn sleeps overnight, the people are willing to accept it, and those who dare not enter......" The general raised his face slightly, as if he was recalling something: "How can such an army not sweep the world?" ”

"This is the ...... that the general did not explain in detail a few days ago," he said word by word: "The army and the people!" ”
