Chapter 153: Neat and tidy
Ninety miles west of Mengcage City, Tingchuan, and the military camp stretched for more than ten miles, the governor of Huangzhou and Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen, who came to Nandingzhou to supervise the war, was in the Chinese military tent and the civil and military officials together to 'inspect the goods'.

There were five rows of wooden boxes on the ground, each containing a human head, and although quicklime was used to 'keep it fresh', the smell of blood was still strong, but it was not a big deal for everyone present.
Since ancient times, the head has been used to record merit, and the officials of this era have both civil and military duties, and they have killed people and seen blood, and they have also seen rolling human heads, so there is no discomfort in the face of neat human heads.
Yu Wenwen, who was dressed in military uniform, looked at the head in front of him and was very satisfied, the five rows of wooden boxes represented the five ways to attack the enemy, and in the wooden box at the front, of course, it was the head of its commander.
Zhang Ran, the general of the Kaifu, led the troops to attack Dachengguan, and the head was here; Xie Xu, the general of the Kaifu, led the troops to attack Baisha Pass, and the head was here; Shi Xun, the general of the Zhu State, led the troops to attack the Loess Pass, and the head was here.
Cao Yunli, the general of Shangkaifu, led the troops to attack Muling Pass, and the head was here; The general Tian Xingshou led the troops to attack Yinshan Pass, and the head was here.
The five commanders, together with the heads of the main generals under their command, were all placed in front of Yuwenwen at this moment, this was a great victory, the Huangzhou army with low casualties, the future attack of the five enemy forces was almost completely annihilated.
There were more than 10,000 soldiers, and it was over, and the civil and military officials present were happy and excited, because everyone had a share in these great achievements.
When I learned that the five passes of Dabie Mountain were attacked by the enemy, it was false for Huangzhou Wenwu to say that he was not worried, but the King of Xiyang was full of confidence, so that everyone was somewhat confident, and when the good news that the official army had defeated all the enemy troops on the five routes, everyone really had confidence in the King of Xiyang.
Huangzhou was not strong enough to defeat the enemy army of the five ways at the same time, but in fact, it was not like what outsiders thought, relying on the courage and skill of the officers and troops to win more with less, but using some incredible tactics.
What is the specific tactic, the people present only know the situation in Dacheng Pass, Baisha Pass, and Loess Pass, all of which were a violent explosion that caused heavy casualties to the enemy, and then was covered by their own side all the way, killing people in the head.
As for what happened at Muling Pass and Yinshan Pass, it is unknown how thousands of enemy corpses can be strewn all over the field and die strangely, but the bloody human head in front of him means that the enemy army is indeed defeated.
It also means that everyone has worked hard and made great achievements, the king of Xiyang is very good at being a man, and many enemies are killed by a pot of blows, or they die inexplicably, but the first level is counted on the soldiers participating in the battle, so you can imagine how rich the reward will be.
"The enemy army is attacking from all directions, and the momentum is amazing, but now the heads are here, as the so-called 'family, the most important thing is to be neat'!"
"In this operation, the officers and men of the officers and men are united in their hatred of the enemy, although the casualties are not small, but they have successfully defeated the enemy, and the pensions for the dead and disabled soldiers must be paid in time, and the merits of the soldiers must be remembered clearly!"
"The widow said before the war that meritorious service must be rewarded, and there must be punishment, and now that the official army has won a great victory, then the reward must be issued immediately, without delay, and must not let the soldiers who are struggling to kill the enemy in front shed blood and tears!"
Yuwen Wen set the tone, that is, the rewards and punishments are clear, and there is no arrears, the war does not know when it will be a head, he wants to maintain the morale of the soldiers, he has to do what he says, punish when he says punishment, and reward when he says reward.
In the final analysis, it is the three words "talking about credit", these three words are easy to say, but it depends on conscience, and Yu Wenwen thinks that he has a great conscience, as long as he has the ability to fulfill it, he will never break his word, because the consequences of backsliding when leading troops to fight are very serious
Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall, "in history", Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, personally drove a personal expedition against the Northern Han Dynasty, and after capturing Jinyang City, he should have rewarded the soldiers who fought bloodily, but in order to surprise attack Youzhou, he forced the army to continue fighting despite fatigue.
Said that the reward will be given after capturing Jinyang? Take Youzhou and distribute it together.
Zhao Guangyi felt that there was nothing wrong with this move, the so-called "noble soldiers", but the result was that the army was defeated like a mountain, and the dignified Song Tianzi was only spared by an arrow in the ass and rode in a donkey cart, which was smiling and generous.
What's the problem? One of the problems is the injustice of rewards and punishments.
The Song army suffered heavy casualties in the attack on Jinyang, and the soldiers who survived the bloody battle were still waiting to receive the reward, but they were told that they had to take Youzhou, but the Liao army had many cavalry, who was confident that they would survive the next round of bloody battles?
Isn't that a cheat!!
The boss didn't believe his words, and played the big-headed soldiers as fools, why did the big-headed soldiers sell their lives?
This is the most basic people's heart, Yu Wenwen doesn't want to 'repeat the mistakes of the past', so since he promised a reward before the war, he must give a reward, and it must be timely, because at this time, the soldiers in his hands can be called a rabble, and they can't suffer too much, and they will collapse when there is a stir.
The army of the Huangzhou Governor's Office, its main force is still in Jiangzhou and even the Lingbiao area, and most of the troops left behind are stationed in the prefecture and county cities and some critical places, and the imperial court army is menacing, and Yuwenwen, who has no soldiers in his hands, wants to resist the enemy, of course, he has to find a way.
The solution is very simple, that is, to gather the righteous army Qin King.
In layman's terms, it is to call on the powerful people from all over the country to lead their own tribes and clan soldiers to Qin Wang, what kind of king is Qin? Of course, it's the king of Xiyang.
Yu Wenwen has worked hard to run Huangzhou for so many years, and finally has some appeal to the powerful and big families in various places, so in a short period of time, tens of thousands of volunteers from all over the country were summoned, and they set up camp in Tingchuan.
In fact, it was to pull the banner as a tiger skin, and the rebel armies from all over the country gathered together, relying on the fact that there were many people to support the scene, whistle and strengthen their courage at night through the cemetery, and by the way, they indiscriminately fooled the imperial army that invaded the south.
The rebel armies from all over the country gathered together, and there was no subordinate relationship between their superiors and subordinates, they had never had combat experience with the army before, they did not know the banners, they could not understand the orders, the quality of the personnel was uneven, and it was very troublesome to manage.
There is no distinction between the left and right, the advance and retreat are lost, the camp is chaotic, the ranks are crooked and zigzagged when marching, not to mention the loss of people, and a lot of all kinds of, not to mention the formation.
That is, it can come in handy when fighting a tailwind battle, and once the war is tight, it will collapse when it is said to collapse, and it is completely unreliable.
Yuwen Wen knew very well that the army gathered in Tingchuan, in addition to the officers and soldiers who were the backbone, could fight, the other rebels were just here to fight, and the hard battle was unreliable, and the military discipline was poor.
To put it bluntly, it is a rabble, a super big fish belly, if you really have to meet an enemy general who is good at using soldiers, if you don't have a night attack with hundreds of cavalry, you can turn the Tingchuan camp into a Shura field.
If that's the case, Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen is afraid that he will really be defeated, and the whole family will be arrested and taken to Yecheng, and come to a "family, the most important thing is to be neat"!
However, this kind of thing finally didn't happen, so as the war progressed smoothly, it was natural to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, whether it was a fish belly or a crowd of onlookers, as long as they made a contribution, then they had to realize the reward in time, otherwise the people's hearts would be scattered, and the team would not be easy to bring.
After all, the war is not over yet, and there is still a battle to be fought.
