Chapter 207: Revive the Army's Morale
All of this is of course intentional.
Everyone can sit in the position of a thousand households, naturally there is also a scheming, and now the army is due to a disaster yesterday, which has caused some confusion in the army's heart, and even issued a little fear of war. Once you, the main generals, show heaviness, it will inevitably affect the people under your hands. Only by making them feel that they and others do not seem to pay attention to yesterday's defeat can they dissipate their non-fighting mood and re-boost their morale, otherwise continuing like this will only lead to the defeat of the army before fighting.
The laughter lasted for several minutes before it stopped at the wave of Zu Dashou's hand. Everyone adjusted their mentality and left the previous laughter behind.
"Presumably yesterday's battle has made you understand that our opponent is not so simple, and the mentality of Dai Shan's instant decision is enough to make us pay attention to it."
Everyone has lived in Liaodong for a long time, and Jiannu doesn't know how many years of fighting, and they already know some of the other party's famous generals well, and this time they met Dai Shan, who naturally attached great importance to it, and thought that it was already safe, who let the other party give himself a direct dismount, and lost a full 5,000 people, which accounted for 16 of the army.
"General, are we also giving each other a night attack, as the so-called coming is not rude."
Everyone is a soldier, no one wants to suffer, seeing that Dai Shan let himself suffer such a big bitter fruit, so how can he swallow this breath if he doesn't give one to the other party.
It's just that as soon as this Qianhu's opinion was put forward, it was opposed by several other talents.
"Wang Qianhu's proposal is not possible, you must know that we are facing the old fox Dai Shan, he will definitely not leave us this opportunity, not to mention that the other party has just attacked us at night, and it has achieved significant results, so Dai Shan must attach great importance to the night attack."
Of course, there was opposition, and naturally there was support, and some people analyzed it rationally.
"I think Wang Qianhu's proposal is good.
You can think about it the other way around, just as the so-called smart is mistaken by the smart, Dai Shan will inevitably think that we are likely to think that the other party is on guard, so as to give up this method of night attack, so that we will not deploy this defense."
Zu Dashou sat on the main seat, listening to the two people discuss the possibilities of night raids. If it is true that both things can happen based on analysis alone, but until the final experiment, no one knows which one will be the result.
It's just to lead troops to fight, but it's not as simple as trying both options at once. That's going to kill people, especially if you lose the battle first, if you lose again, the entire army's morale may really collapse in an instant.
"It's going to be quiet."
Zu Dashou slapped the table, and everyone stopped arguing, and stood on both sides steadily, wanting to hear what Zu Dashou thought.
"The main purpose of our army's visit this time is to deter Jiannu, not to seek the opportunity to fight. Although our army suffered a loss in this battle, it did not damage the foundation, and the army could still rely on the camp to defend it.
Therefore, as for the matter of the night attack proposed by Wang Qianhu, we will let it go for a while, and wait until the future when Daishan relaxes, and our army will depend on the situation."
Zu Dashou also thought about it for a long time, and felt that if it was really a night attack, although the victory or defeat belonged to two points, he really couldn't afford to lose, not to mention that he didn't come to fight a decisive battle with Jiannu this time.
Of course, I still care about the night attack on Zu Dashou, after all, I have suffered such a big loss, if I don't fight back, it will be spread to the entire Liaodong Army in the future, so what kind of face will I have.
Seeing that Zu Dashou had already set the tone, everyone stopped talking. At the same time, we should consider the current problem, which is grain and grass. For the grain and grass were burned at once.14 As a direct result, there is a shortage of food and grass, and in addition to the many wounded, medicine seems to be scarce.
"Uncle, although you are now saying that you are leading a thousand households, but because you have just taken office, you don't know the generals and the soldiers. And you have the least number of men and horses in your hands, so you will be responsible for transporting grain and grass first to prevent the sneak attack of Jiannu."
The matter of grain and grass is related to the lifeblood of the whole army, especially now that it is hundreds of kilometers away from Jinzhou. The other side Jiannu is a cavalry unit, once part of the men and horses are divided to attack the grain and grass that is transported, although he has tens of thousands of troops here, it will be useless.
Don't look at the righteousness that Zu Dashou said, in fact, the thousands of households present have already heard that Zu Dashou has some selfishness in his words.
Escorting grain and grass is a beautiful difference, not only do you have to fight hard with Jiannu, but you can also have a full meal, although there are also some dangers, but I believe that as long as you do a good job of secrecy, how can Jiannu know where the army of escorting grain and grass will pass by. If everything is really like a god, as long as you attack, you can burn the other party's grain and grass, then what kind of battle will everyone fight, go home and pick up the child.
Of course, there is no objection to Zu Dashou's arrangement, not to mention that what Zu Dashou said is also quite right, the soldiers do not know the generals and the soldiers. Once the fight breaks out in the future, if more than 500 people really mess up, it will affect not only the surrounding people, but the entire army, and even the entire army will collapse.
After all, the battle between the two armies depends on morale, and it depends on fighting hard. What if one of the soldiers was scared and wanted to run away, and the Warlords were watching. As a result, there was chaos on his side, which was likely to chill the hearts of those who were not in chaos, causing the army to be cowardly before fighting.
"Yes, General. The lowly office hereby pledges that not a grain of grain will fall into the hands of the Jiannu."
Wu Sangui replied with neither humility nor arrogance.
"Well, I believe you. Don't lose my face, or I won't need you to say it, and I'll take you down and put you in front of the army and behead you."
Zu Dashou looked selfless and selfless, and looked at Wu Sangui in a very stern tone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the army is unstable, you will come with me to patrol the camp to appease the army."
After finishing speaking, Zu Dashou specially washed it, put on a suit of armor, and neatly led a few thousand households to patrol the army.
After turning around, he found that the army was no longer nervous, but there was still a trace of vigilance in their eyes, for fear that Jiannu would fight again, Zu Dashou still nodded with some satisfaction in his heart.
Suddenly, I saw a wounded soldier walking in front of me tremblingly, but he tripped over a stone under his feet, threw himself and crawled to the ground.
"General, general".
The wounded soldier stammered and looked at the person who supported him, it turned out to be his own general, and there were even seven or eight thousand households behind him, all of whom were high-ranking figures that he had never seen in the past.
"How's it going, I didn't get hurt anymore."
Zu Dashou kindly supported the wounded soldier, and even gently dusted the dirt on his body himself, and his gentle movements seemed to be afraid that he would hurt the soldier again.
I have to say that Zu Dashou's buying of people's hearts is indeed good, and when the soldier saw his general, he was so concerned about himself, he suddenly straightened up and replied in a high-pitched voice.
"Thank you for the general's concern, the little one didn't suffer much damage, if Jiannu came again, the small one would definitely cut off his dog's head."
Perhaps because of the too big movement, the wound that had been healed actually burst open again, proving that the soldiers were hard, and suddenly revealed a blood red.
"Haha, that's good. But you have to heal your injuries now, and I'm still waiting for you to make a contribution."
Zu Dashou laughed, and patted the soldier's shoulder vigorously according to the soldier's intentions.
Perhaps it was because of the pain of the wound that the soldier couldn't help but pout, but he didn't make any sound, but looked at Zu Dashou with a firm face.
Just do it, do something everywhere you go.
Visit some of the wounded soldiers and say a few words. When I see that I need to clean up the debris after incineration, I will also do some by myself.
In this way, the entire adult seemed to know what Zu Dashou had done, and the momentum of the army slowly rebounded in decadence, and finally returned to the top.
