Chapter 90: Military Heart
"That's really 'hard' Duan Lao! By the way, how did you escape from the cottage? ”
Seeing that the link he was most worried about had passed like this, Duan Hongguang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued in his mouth:
"Oh, then Liu Bi saw that I would die and refused to reveal the information, so he planned to behead me early tomorrow morning to show the public, and brought me a decapitation meal. Unexpectedly, the soldier who delivered the meal was careless and forgot to lock the door, and the old man took the opportunity to escape! ”
"Oh, I forgot to lock the cell door...... And what about the pass? You can't be left unguarded, right? ”
"General Hui, there was really no one at that time!"
Seeing that the other party did not believe it, Duan Hongguang told Huaxing that Liu Pi had convened a meeting.
Hearing this, Hua Xing's face was full of confusion, and he felt that there were many things that could not be explained, so he pondered on the spot.
About half a minute later, he looked at Duan Hongguang again:
"Then where did you hear about the raid you just said?"
"Oh, that's what the old man heard at the door of his cell......"
For these things that have nothing to do with "face", Duan Hongguang did not hide anything, and immediately informed Huaxing of the conversation between Zhang and Wang word for word.
"Well, I see. Any other information? ”
"Nothing else, no more. But ......"
After shaking his head, he saw Duan Hongguang add with a worried face:
"General Hua, the enemy army is coming tomorrow night, and you have to withdraw early! Once they rush down, we old guys won't be able to withstand it, so, so ......."
"Hehe, I will make up my mind on this matter, you go to the medical account for treatment first."
Smiling at the other party, Hua Xing stopped the conversation and asked Tang Sheng to send Duan Hongguang to the military medical account.
Before going out, Huaxing made a special trip to tell Duan Hongguang that he was not allowed to mention the "raid" to anyone.
After hearing this, Duan Hongguang showed embarrassment on the spot, as if he didn't want to agree.
But in this kind of big thing, it's not that he can't agree if he doesn't want to!
In order to "persuade" the other party, Hua Xing moved out of the military law on the spot and told Duan Hongguang that if he dared to reveal a word, he would have to lose his head.
As soon as these words came out, how could Duan Hongguang dare to say more? immediately agreed, and accompanied by Tang Sheng, he left the military tent.
……
Ten minutes later, Tang Sheng walked out of the medical tent and returned to the big tent.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard Huaxing ask:
"Sent?"
"That's right! Healing has begun. ”
"Are you badly hurt?"
"It's all skin trauma, and it can be recovered in half a month."
"Well, that's good."
After understanding the situation, Hua Xing lowered his head and said nothing, looked at the map in his hand and fell into deep thought.
Standing on the side, Tang Sheng waited for two or three minutes, and seeing that Hua Xing hadn't taken care of his intentions, he deliberately cleared his throat and said with a worried face:
"Ahem, General, let's, let's ...... When will it be withdrawn? ”
"Withdraw?"
Hua Xing didn't raise his head and said, "Where are you going?" ”
"Uh, withdraw, withdraw...... The subordinates don't know. ”
Hearing Hua Xing's tone a little cold, Tang Sheng realized that he might be talking too much, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to make up for it:
"This matter still needs to be decided by the general, and his subordinates dare not talk nonsense."
"So you remember that I was a general?"
Hearing this, Hua Xing finally raised his head, looked at Tang Sheng and said with a smile: "I thought you and Duan Hongguang had forgotten!" ”
"Subordinate, subordinate don't dare!"
"Don't dare? Adjutant General Tang, then let me ask you, when did I say that I was going to withdraw my troops? ”
Seeing that Hua Xing's face was displeased, and there was a lot of accountability in his tone, Tang Sheng was frightened on the spot.
is usually quite a shrewd person, but now he is spitting and trembling, and he can't say a word.
"Tang Sheng, if you're just an ordinary soldier like Duan Hongguang, I won't blame you today. But you have to remember that you are my lieutenant general, and to put it bluntly, you are the second-in-command in the army. In the eyes of most soldiers, your words are equivalent to military orders, and you will never be able to say anything without precise instructions! ”
Hua Xing stood up as he spoke, obviously attaching great importance to this issue:
"A Duan Hongguang, no matter what he says, it is impossible to shake the morale of the army. But if you follow along with the nonsense, then I don't need to speak, and most of the 1,000 people have fled by tomorrow night. As a general, you must always remember your identity, this kind of thing must not be nonsense, remember? ”
The military heart is a very mysterious thing.
As long as it is there, no matter how strong the enemy is, it is possible to defeat;
But if you lose it, it will be difficult to win even the simplest battle.
In addition to objective factors, the words of people are also very important in matters that can affect the morale of the military.
In particular, the remarks of generals in the army will have a great impact on the morale of the army.
Therefore, Huaxing has always been cautious about this matter, and he will never allow the discouragement of the army in his own team, which taught Tang Sheng a lesson, in order to make him remember that as a general, he must be cautious in his words and deeds, so as not to affect the morale of the army.
After listening to Huaxing's lesson, Tang Sheng also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly apologized and promised not to talk nonsense in the future.
Seeing that the other party sincerely admitted his mistake, Huaxing didn't say anything more, and brought the topic back to the raid:
"I know that you are going out with the army for the first time, and you have no bottom in your heart, and you are terrified when you hear that the other party is going to raid, I can understand this."
"No, no, I, I'......"
Seeing that Tang Sheng was still embarrassed to admit it, Hua Xing immediately smiled and said:
"Hehe, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, a manly man, I don't even dare to admit that I'm afraid, that's really guts! I'll tell you the truth, when I heard that the other party was going to raid just now, I was scared stupid for the first time! ”
Although this statement is exaggerated, Huaxing is not lying.
Since he came to the foot of Qiankun Mountain, what he was most afraid of was that the other party would lead the troops into battle. That's why they racked their brains to lay out an empty city plan to mislead the enemy army and not dare to come out.
Just now, when he heard that the other party was going to raid his own army, Hua Xing's little heart did tremble a few times.
"Huh? Are you scared too? Then why not, why not, not ......"
After the lesson just now, Tang Sheng didn't dare to say the word "retreat" casually, and stopped halfway through speaking.
Of course, Huaxing guessed what the other party wanted to express, and immediately replied with a smile:
"Because there is no need! Liu Bi: They won't launch a surprise attack! ”
"What?"
Hearing this, Tang Sheng was instantly confused:
"But, didn't Duan Hongguang say that they would come tomorrow night? I think what he said is clear-eyed, and it doesn't look like he's lying! ”
"Well, that's true!" Hua Xing nodded and confirmed: "In this matter, he really didn't lie......"
"Huh? Then, why do you say that Liu Bi will not raid? ”
"Because...... Duan Hongguang was deceived by them! ”
"What? Lao Duan was deceived? ”
"Yes!" Hua Xing smiled and nodded confidently:
"The so-called raid plan is just a play played by Liu Pi to Lao Duan. The purpose is to make us mistakenly think that they will launch a surprise attack tomorrow night, and that's it! ”
