The Great War is coming, and the morale of the soldiers needs to be mobilized.

Fighting for Cao Cao, whether it was the soldiers who were originally subordinate to Lu Bu or the Qingzhou army, they were all reluctant.

Going to the battlefield with reluctance, the result can be imagined.

Lu Bu came to the barracks, and Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao went to Yuanmen to greet each other.

"How are the soldiers preparing?" Lu Bu asked the two of them.

"I'm doing the preparation, but the mood is not too high." Zhang Liao replied: "I have asked people to inquire that many soldiers are willing to fight for Wen Hou, but they are unwilling to give Cao Cao their lives. ”

Lu Bu turned his head to look at him: "Is that what the soldiers really said?" ”

"The soldiers thought that by defeating Huainan and giving it to Cao Cao, they were sent to death." Zhang Liao replied: "If you push them to the battlefield, you won't give benefits, and you won't be willing to put them on anyone." ”

"We can't let the soldiers go into battle willingly to kill the enemy, we have already lost most of them." Lu Bu walked into the barracks: "Gather the soldiers together, and I'll give them some sweetness to taste." ”

Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun gathered the soldiers and went.

There was a small phalanx of hundreds of people practicing.

When Lu Bu arrived, the officer shouted, and the soldiers immediately stopped.

"Wen Hou is mighty!" Hundreds of people greeted in unison.

Lu Bu nodded and jumped onto the high platform of the school field.

Hundreds of soldiers did not continue to practice, but just lined up in a phalanx to look at him.

"Why are you the only ones practicing?" Looking left and right, Lu Bu asked the officer.

"Wait for the warmth." The officer replied: "We used to be soldiers who followed Wen Hou in Xiapi, and it became a habit to practice every day. The other groups of brothers dispersed for a while, and as for the Qingzhou Army, ......"

He lowered his head and peeked at Lu Bu, but didn't dare to continue.

"What's wrong with the Qingzhou Army?" The officer didn't dare to say, but Lu Bu was asking.

"The Qingzhou Army is really loose." The officer did not dare not answer: "Not only do they refuse to practice, but they also cause trouble in the army all day long, we are not as many as them, and the soldiers dare not speak out!" ”

Lu Bu pinched his chin and frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about a very serious question.

At the beginning, Cao Cao's Wancheng army was defeated, and the Qingzhou army also took the opportunity to loot.

At that time, Yu Ban proposed a crusade, but Cao Cao let go of the Qingzhou army to a great extent.

Before the Battle of Wancheng, although the Qingzhou Army was free-range, it was still a large army with a complete establishment.

However, after that incident, Cao Cao frequently ordered the transfer of troops and horses to defend elsewhere, and in just a few months, the Qingzhou army was divided into more than a dozen small groups of soldiers and horses with weak combat effectiveness.

If it weren't for Lu Bu appearing in Mount Tai, maybe there would be no more Qingzhou Army in the world in a few years.

Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun each led a group of people to greet the soldiers in the barracks to gather.

When he came to Pengcheng, Lu Bu had been busy preparing for the construction of coal mines and building military camps, and he had no chance to rectify the military affairs of the Qingzhou Army.

The officers and men of the Qingzhou Army, who were sloppy in military discipline, were ordered to rush out of the barracks.

Like herds of cattle and sheep, they were "driven" by Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others to the school field.

Loosely arranged in a row, the Qingzhou Army did not behave like a military brigade on the battlefield at all, but more like a group of undisciplined vagrants.

The clothes and armor were tattered, the weapons were old, and a pair of empty eyes looked at Lu Bu blankly on his face.

Following Lu Bu to Pengcheng, the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army had expectations and desires.

But the first order they received was to help the Cao family attack Huainan......

What's even worse is that they are not responding, but the main attack!

Helping the Cao family fight, there is no reward for meritorious work, and there is no punishment for it, the Qingzhou Army has always been dispensable.

To fight or not to play the same, to go or not to go......

Who is idle and has nothing to do but crash into the battlefield?

Looking around at the soldiers on the school ground, Lu Bu shook his head: "Yesterday I gave an order for you to sew up your armor and sharpen your weapons. You are good, the armor is still in tatters, and the weapons are still rusty. How do you go to war like this? How to kill the enemy? ”

"Wen Hou promised us that we could be rewarded for our meritorious service on the battlefield, why did we come to Xuzhou, and the first order was to help the Cao family fight?" There was a shout from the school ground: "I don't care if others go or not, anyway, I definitely won't go!" ”

Born as a Yellow Turban thief, and after so many years of neglect of restraint, the Qingzhou Army is even more banditic, and there is no discipline at all.

Someone took the lead in shouting, and there was immediately a commotion of questioning on the school grounds.

Standing by the sword, Lu Bu didn't say anything, and waited for the Qingzhou soldiers to shout for a while before he shouted: "Is the shouting finished?" Isn't it my turn? ”

Lu Bu spoke, and the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army quieted down.

"Do you think this battle was fought for the Cao family?" Lu Bu looked around at the soldiers and asked loudly.

"Don't try to fool us." Another voice came from the school field: "We all know that the defeat of Huainan is to be handed over to Cao Mengde!" Occupy it or not, and it wasn't for him? ”

This sentence was like a big stone thrown into a pond, and it immediately stirred up a commotion.

The officers and men of the Qingzhou Army exchanged heads and ears, talking to each other about their respective cognitions.

Almost all Qingzhou troops are of the same opinion.

The attack on Huainan is for Cao Cao, and it will not benefit them at all!

"Have you discussed enough?" After another moment, Lu Bu shouted again.

The commotion gradually calmed down, and the officers and men of the Qingzhou Army all had resentment on their faces, and war-weariness spread among the army.

"There is no military discipline and you are talking at will, no wonder you have been despised!" Jumping off the high platform, Lu Bu walked back and forth in front of the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army: "An army without military discipline, no matter how many people there are, it is just a group of lambs to be slaughtered on the battlefield!" The lamb still has horns, and it can be bumped a few times. Look at the weapons in your hands, they are all about to rust and you don't know how to grind them. With such a weapon, can you pierce a mosquito? The weapon is the horn of your flock of lambs, and you don't even care for it, so why do you go into battle to kill the enemy? Why do you make a contribution? ”

Lu Bu said that the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army were silent, but the expressions on their faces were unconvinced.

"Don't make any preparations, just hope to get benefits." Lu Bu stopped and faced the Qingzhou army: "Who told you that if you don't occupy Huainan, we won't have any benefit?" Capture Huainan, if you don't get benefits, from now on with your nonsense, I will never ask! ”

"If you don't occupy it, what's the benefit......" muttered from the crowd.

It's just that compared to the questioning just now, this muttering is really weak and pitiful.

It can be seen that the officers and men of the Qingzhou Army also realized that there was a fatal mistake in their approach!

"Since Yuan Shu became the emperor, he built a palace and was a beauty pageant, Huainan has long been gnawed by him." Lu Bu said: "What do we mean by asking for that broken place? It's better to grab a handful and leave. ”
