Plugging up Chapter 8 Tempering the Army's Heart

When Lu Zheng arrived at the military camp in Jilu Prefecture, those homeless people had been recruited in the barracks, Lu Zheng walked outside the barracks and looked inside, and the soldiers kept coming and going. Following the guidance, he walked into Wang Hui's tent, and as soon as he entered, he saw Wang Hui pointing around on the map.

The whole tent was very simple but very warm, the fire was still burning, and the flames could rise from time to time, but on the other hand, after the rain had just fallen outside, the cold was approaching, and the soldiers were sitting by the fire to feel the slightest warmth.

Most of these soldiers are not the people on this block, so they are not very accustomed to this kind of weather, the wind and sand are raging, the dark clouds are dead and silent, and there is even more frost and cold. Lu Zheng sat quietly by the stove in the tent and raised his head from time to time to look at Wang Hui's pointing on the map.

Wang Hui has already got some clues, that is, the late autumn is so cold and lonely, presumably the Turks also have to spend the winter, and this clothing and food storage is what the Turks need the most at the moment. But the huge grassland is all grass and trees, where are these things? Therefore, the Turks will definitely attack in the south before the winter, among which the Anbei Protectorate is the first to bear the brunt, and the western Tubo also has the opportunity to send troops.

When he thought about Xue Ne's defeat in the Khitan Valley in Luanshui Valley, Wang Hui also learned from it, and Xue Ne took the risk of ambushing half of the Khitan army, which was defeated by geographical advantages and Xue Ne's pride, which Wang Hui would not be ambiguous.

Now when the people's hearts are stabilized after the chaos, Princess Taiping was sentenced by the congenital time, although she is far away, but in Wang Hui's heart, she is vivid. Therefore, the emperor promoted a large number of civil and military cadres and opened up the way of speech, in order to open up the atmosphere, and this atmosphere is to be guided by the Taizong Gaozong Dynasty.

Therefore, if you don't make side contributions, you can't realize the majesty of the emperor, and Wang Hui understands his prospects.

Lu Zheng watched Wang Hui point out to the generals, and then took care of him, and watched Wang Hui walking towards him, he got up and arched his hand: "General Wang can give me a task, when will I start training recruits?" ”

Wang Hui looked at Lu Zheng's face full of ambition, and said: "I have recruited all the young people among those homeless people, some of these people are quite pure, but some are difficult to motivate. So you have to inspire the army first, and then start training, you know? ”

Lu Zheng immediately said: "I understand the general's hard work, but I implore the general to prepare cotton clothes for those recruits. ”

Wang Hui nodded and said: "I really didn't misunderstand you, as a young man, he has both strategy and benevolence, so I can rest assured that I will hand over the new recruits to you." ”

Wang Hui made an exception to appoint Lu Zheng, although it made people in the army talk about it, but Wang Hui still had ulterior motives, this recruitment seemed to be a civilian like Lu Zheng, and he wanted to show it to the people in the army. Second, if you have a discerning eye for people, you can also make new blood pour into the army.

And Lu Zheng also happened to be bumped into by Wang Hui, Wang Hui felt that he also had the spirit of not admitting defeat when he was young, in short, Wang Hui believed in his own insight.

At this time, Lu Zheng saw that Wang Hui was so kind to him, so he said: "This military training will not disgrace the mission."

Wang Hui nodded and said: "The training of recruits is not urgent, it must be effective and step by step, and when they really go to the battlefield, there will not be much time at that time." ”

Lu Zheng said again: "I know that the battlefield is a place of death and death, and there is no compromise in the slightest. ”

Wang Hui picked up an official document on the case at this time, handed it to Lu Zheng and said, "This is a document just issued by the imperial court, what can you see?" ”

After reading it several times, Lu Zheng said: "I don't see anything, this matter between the DPRK and China is intrigued, but now it is a good thing that Yao Xiang put forward those ten suggestions." ”

"Yao Chong is the prime minister, this is also His Majesty's ambition to politics now, but there are still turmoil and disputes in this court." Wang Hui said, feeling that he had said too much, and then sighed again.

Whether it's a dispute or a turmoil, in fact, in Lu Zheng's eyes, it's something he can't touch, if it wasn't for Wang Hui saying it, he might not think about it.

After about half an hour, after Lu Zheng and Wang Hui chatted in the big tent, Wang Hui went out to inspect the army, but Lu Zheng still stayed in the tent, and looked at the map on several cases boredly, and also looked at the situation in the northern Xinjiang of the Tang Dynasty.

Lu Zheng looked at the northern frontier of the glorious Tang Dynasty, and felt a slight tremor in his heart, and when he calmed down, he walked outside the camp tent and heard bursts of shouts of killing.

At this time, Wang Hui was talking to the soldiers, and the soldiers were all curled up and sitting on the sand, all of them seemed to have no spirit, but Wang Hui was extremely excited, and those moral words blurted out in his mouth, without restraint.

Lu Zheng leaned under a tree, suddenly heard a horse whistle, and from a distance, a messenger galloped over, jumped off the horse, and handed the letter to a military school.

Lu Zheng could see that this was the news of a hundred miles of urgency, and after Wang Hui saw the news after speaking, he led a group of generals into the camp again.

And Lu Zheng walked towards the group of poor militia who had just been received, he had been thinking about how to give those people justice, they were some hungry people, and the most important thing was nothing more than warmth. When Lu Zheng walked up, he found that the poor militiamen were depressed, and they were all sitting on the sand and hanging their heads.

When Lu Zheng began to say the first sentence, someone gradually listened carefully, Lu Zheng just said a few words, several poor people of his age stood up, and said: "What the general said is not that he doesn't believe it, but that there are still a lot of prime people in the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, why are we being pulled into the barracks?" Please also give an explanation to the general. ”

In fact, Lu Zheng didn't think of this, but after he figured out what Wang Hui meant, he could only say to these people: "It's not that other hungry young and middle-aged people are not accepted as soldiers, but this army expansion must be carried out step by step, and it must not be urgent, because there are still problems such as food and salary that have not been solved." ”

Lu Zheng watched everyone discuss at this time, and continued: "General Wang has a benevolent heart, and the food and salary matters will be settled, please rest assured." ”

Then he walked to the front row, paced back and forth, and looked carefully at the costumes of the soldiers, all of whom were very shabby. However, Lu Zheng could see that although these people were a little weak at this time, they all had the desire to make contributions in their eyes. Most of the famous generals in ancient and modern times did not have a down-and-out past in their early years, and not all of them took advantage of the situation to rise up, hang the seal and seal the general, and become the master of the people.

At this time, in order to motivate the army, Lu Zheng distributed some loose silver that Wang Hui gave him to these soldiers, and the interest of those soldiers was very high, although each person did not get much, but this kind of small favor still made these people smile.

Then those who didn't believe in the favor of the imperial court gradually lost their original stubbornness, looking at the scattered silver in front of them were a little sluggish, and as someone began to thank Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng helped them up one by one. As a poor person, as long as the general is gracious, he will be loyal to the front of the tent, and most of these people have no other selfishness, just to survive.
