The cavalry of the righteous army set off in the early morning, and everyone saw them off, encouraging morale with bold words, but the cavalry continued to wait for a long time, and the people who sent them were bored, and the heroic words were repeated a lot, and they were also a little embarrassed, and with the encouragement or acquiescence of some generals, the soldiers who were familiar with each other began to joke with each other, one more excessive.

"Hey, third child, take care of your horse, it's worth more than you!"

"Fight bravely to kill the enemy, Xiao Wu, cut off a single hair of the officers and soldiers, you will be worth it."

"Kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, Lao Qi, don't care about your own life, your daughter-in-law will collect reward money for you, and I will collect your daughter-in-law for you!"

……

The jokes were longer than the rhetoric, and they were full of tricks, and the cavalry who went out did not retreat, and with more cruel mockery, the atmosphere became warm again, and even the spirit of slaughter was diluted, and the soldiers who went out of the camp seemed to go hunting, rather than a battle of life and death.

Xu Ji was one of the five kings, and he had to stay at the gate of the camp to watch the Wu cavalry, and he was a little embarrassed at first when he heard countless foul language, but slowly discovered the benefits.

Ning Baoguan was familiar with this set, and even personally joked with the cavalry general of Wu Yue's army, "Luo Hanqi, if the number of enemies killed is not the first, you can change your name to 'Riding Luohan'." "Kill more officers and soldiers, brothers, just as officers and soldiers have killed your father and mother, molested your daughter-in-law, robbed your food, and demolished your house!"

"Hey, I've seen all of these things!" Someone replied loudly, causing a burst of laughter, and Ning Baoguan also laughed out loud, "Those who dare not take revenge, get off the horse now and give the opportunity to others, we have heroes in Qinzhou!" ”

The Qinzhou infantry shouted loudly, and not a single cavalry dismounted.

The northerners began to persuade the soldiers of Jing and Wu to give up their horses, "This is a four-legged horse, not a flat-bottomed boat, are you used to riding?" ”

"Lao Tzu has cut down more horses than you have ever ridden." The Jiangdong soldiers returned their mouths, and the more they talked, the more they went in the direction of filth, attracting bursts of laughter.

Xu Ji also wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't interject at all, not only him, Ma Wei and Gan Zhao were the same, Ma Wei tried a few times, but it didn't attract laughter, he quickly gave up, Gan Zhao only gave up to his subordinates, and rarely spoke.

The eloquence of the strategist is useless on this occasion, even Guo Shifeng, who calls himself "ups and downs with the world", has no way to mingle with the soldiers, first chatting with Ma Wei in a low voice, and after a while, he came to Xu Ji's side and whispered: "Brother Ji is not used to this kind of thing, right?" Officers and soldiers have their own set of ceremonies, which is enough to boost the morale of the army and boost morale, the generals have the majesty of the generals, and the soldiers have the rules of the soldiers, like this......" Guo Shifeng shook his head lightly.

Xu Ji said with a smile: "The rituals are different, and they all end up in the same way, all of them are to win the battle, as long as the morale can rise, it doesn't matter what method you use." ”

"Hehe, Brother Jie is right, it's just that we are not as good as that person in this kind of thing."

Ning Baoguan was originally a poor people, no different from the soldiers of the righteous army.

The cavalry finally left the camp, Ning Baoguan took advantage of the high mood of everyone, and said loudly as the commander: "King Jin is going to attack the officers and soldiers, let's not be idle, what should we do, don't wait for the officers and soldiers to come, saying that the elite of the righteous army is all in the cavalry, and the people who stay in the camp are all waste." ”

"It's not rubbish!" The soldiers dispersed, inspected weapons, strengthened the barracks, and drilled advance and retreat, and some went to the depths of the camp to give a few more words to their families, and when they returned, they were mercilessly ridiculed.

Xu Ji had a lot to do, he had nearly 7,000 infantry, most of them from the Liang and Jin armies, and he had to recognize all the generals and explain the strategy of his headquarters as clearly as possible.

"The Wu camp is on the right flank and is vulnerable to a sneak attack by cavalry, so you should not be careless. King Ning guards the front, no matter how fierce the fighting is there, no one is allowed to go over to support without my order. ”

The unfamiliar generals were not as fearful of the ruling king as the Wu people, some nodded yes, and some complained on the spot, "The credit has been snatched away by others, if the officers and soldiers did not sneak attack, wouldn't we watch others fight?" If you don't take credit, you'll be laughed at by those guys afterwards. ”

Many people agreed, and only Wang Dian left the generals of the Wu people, and when he saw that someone was disrespectful, he said angrily: "King Wu has his own plans, you just abide by them, you don't need to think about it so much." ”

Xu Ji nodded to Wang Dian and said, "The credit for defeating the officers and soldiers belongs to all the righteous troops. ”

The generals on the opposite side all laughed, and the other said, "King Wu is from the south, right?" ”

"No, I'm from Luoyang, and I've been going back and forth among the armies of the North Road before."

"Really? Then King Wu should understand the rules of our Northern Army, those who kill the enemy are the first meritorious, those who grab flags and things are secondary, and the rest of the people will drink the northwest wind, even if you accidentally fall off your leg, or chase the enemy for more than ten miles but don't catch up, it is not considered a merit, and nothing can be shared. ”

Xu Ji Zhengse said: "You are in my camp, even if it is only for one day, you must act according to the rules of the Wu army." ”

"What rules does Wu Jun have?"

"Those who obey orders will be rewarded for their first merit, and then they will kill the enemy, capture the flag, and chase defeat, but even if you break your leg, you will not be rewarded for your own merit, so you will suffer it yourself."

The generals laughed, and someone asked, "Is it merit to not be able to catch up with the enemy soldiers?" ”

"There is merit, but it must be an order given by me, and if you don't wait for the order, you will chase the enemy without permission, and even if you catch up, you will not be meritorious, and you will be punished when you come back."

"In short, everything is up to you, King Wu, and then you can share the work, right?"

Xu Ji nodded, and Wang Dian explained in detail the rules for distributing the spoils of profit in Runan City, and by the way, he bragged about the merits of the ruling king.

Xu Ji didn't stop him this time.

Among the generals of Liang and Jin, some people only care about their own affairs, and some people like to inquire about the news and have heard about the deeds of King Wu, so they ask and answer, the more they talk, the more exaggerated they say.

"King Wu really killed the Emperor of All Things by himself?"

"King Wu is really the son of a great general? Have you ever been a great general's true transmission of the art of war? ”

Wang Dian nodded repeatedly, "That's right." ”

Xu Ji blushed a little, and especially needed the awe of these generals, so he found an excuse to leave, leaving Wang Dian to blow it all the way.

There is no distinction between the soldiers of the righteous army, and they can follow whoever they want, so the number of people in each department is extremely uneven, with nearly 1,000 people in the majority and only one or two hundred in the few.

In order to compete for soldiers, there are often conflicts between generals, and there are battles in these two days, so this kind of thing is less.

Guo Shifeng is actually right, the rebels urgently need to establish rules, but it is not a ceremony to go out, but a way to get along with each other.

A group of soldiers warm themselves around a campfire, teaching each other survival skills on the battlefield.

"Don't listen to them, meritorious service is not so important, saving your life is the first thing, think about it, if you don't have a life, what's the use of getting more rewards?"

"That's right, who just wants to make meritorious service too much, and one of his arms is cut off, what is the result? It is true that he has gained a lot of things, but it is difficult to make meritorious contributions, and his daughter-in-law is a smart person, so she directly took things away, and the child was also taken away, and I don't know where to hide. ”

"It must be in this camp, hidden by some guy with all four limbs."

The barracks are full of similar rumors, half-truths and half-truths, often without a real name, but everyone who hears it believes it.

When someone saw Xu Ji and knew that this was King Wu, he stabbed the people around him, and the soldiers immediately shut up and concentrated on the fire, and a few people nodded to King Wu, even if they were more polite.

Tang Weitian originally wanted to be a cavalryman, but Meng Shenglun asked him to stay to protect the ruling king, so he kept following Xu Ji, and then stepped forward and said: "Seeing that the governor of the capital does not salute, who is your leader?" ”

The soldiers around the bonfire gave up their hands one after another, with different postures, and Xu Ji felt like a rich man who had come to the countryside to collect rent.

He also gave up, "save his life, hands and feet, and then make more merits and receive more rewards." ”

Everyone was the only one, and no one responded.

Xu Ji continued to move forward and saw a group of old and weak women and children coming, they should have stayed behind, but at this time they went outside the camp.

Xu Ji said to Tang Weitian: "You go and ask them where they are going?" ”

Tang Weitian looked at the Metropolitan Governor in surprise, "Do you still need to ask?" Of course, I went outside the camp and prepared to block the officers and soldiers. ”

"Wu Jun didn't bring his family with him."

"Hehe, someone 'carried' the family members, so they won't come out to block the officers and soldiers, this is because there is no one in the family to be a soldier, so they came out to be useful."

Tang Weitian still ran to ask, and soon came back, "It was sent by King Ning." ”

To Xu Ji's surprise, these people didn't seem to care much about the possible danger, their expressions were very flat, and a woman taught the child while walking, "Follow closely, where is my mother going, where are you going, I really can't run away, just lie down and pretend to be dead, and wait for my mother to come back to you, remember?" ”

The child kept nodding his head, looking like "I have long remembered".

"You can't fight like this." Xu Ji muttered.

"The battle has been fought like this." Tang is the way of heaven, he participated in the incarnation army in Qinzhou, and he is used to seeing this kind of scene.

Xu Ji had already made up his mind, and said to Tang Weitian: "You go to General Wang Dianwang and say that it is my order to let him stay with these people." ”

"Huh? There is no cover ahead, and the Descendant Army will not come forward. ”

"Go."

"Alright, the Metropolitan is here waiting for me to come back."

"I'm going to see King Ning and ask him to leave all the people behind, and the righteous army doesn't need to 'move the barracks' in this battle."

"If the people are willing, if they block the officers and soldiers, they will be able to get a little ration immediately, and they will ...... afterwards Okay, I'll go to General Wang, the Governor will go slowly, I'll chase you. Tang Weitian ran to the military tent in the Wu camp.

Xu Ji walked straight to King Ning's camp.

Tang Weitian was fast, and caught up halfway, "The leaders were not very happy, and when they heard that the Metropolitan Governor had come to find King Ning, they relented, saying that King Ning ordered the people to be withdrawn, and they agreed." ”

Xu Ji had expected this, so he wanted to come to see Ning Baoguan.

Ning Baoguan was directly in the front, so he requisitioned part of the troops of the King of Shu and the King of Jin, the largest number of people, at this time the formation had not yet been discharged, the camp was chaotic, and the generals were shouting to gather the crowd.

Ning Baoguan still prefers to use cavalry, leaving a thousand people and galloping in the camp, which can boost morale.

Ning Baoguan was not in the tent, he climbed a watchtower and was watching the situation outside.

There was nothing to see from here, the cavalry of the rebel army had long since disappeared, but Ning Baoguan couldn't take his eyes off it, and his expression was as serious as usual, which was somewhat similar to Tan Wuxuan.

Xu Ji walked to Ning Baoguan's side and said directly: "I want to change my way of playing." ”

"Huh?" Ning Baoguan looked coldly, not joking.

"The people are in the front, blocking the officers and soldiers, and also blocking the righteous army, but it is useless."

"The army has been fighting like this, there are no people in front, and the soldiers are unwilling to move forward."

"Let the people stay behind, and it can inspire the soldiers to move forward."

Ning Baoguan sneered, and suddenly understood, "You mean to let some other people stay behind?" ”

Those family members who are "carried" by people are the most important reason why the soldiers of the righteous army are willing to go to the battlefield to die.

Xu Ji nodded.

"You still have so many eyes." Ning Baoguan squeezed out a smile.

"Is it the best way to flank officers and soldiers?" Xu Ji said tentatively, Tan Wufu handed him a difficult problem, and he had to start to solve it.
