Chapter 324 If you love soldiers like sons, then soldiers will treat you like fathers

The porcupine is an animal that is very common in the animal world, and is known as the most unprovoked existence in the animal world.

As for lions and cheetahs, porcupines rarely appear on the menu.

Although the porcupine's sting is unknown, the dense pain is enough to torture people, especially for animals with inflexible palms, being stabbed by a porcupine takes a long time to clean up, and it is easy to move to death.

But even so, the number of porcupines in later generations is not too much, especially in China, the Yangtze River Basin and the Qinling Mountains, but it is basically difficult to see in later generations.

Because for the Chinese people, the whole body of the porcupine is a treasure, and the stab-proof that the porcupine is most proud of is a very precious medicinal material for the Chinese people, and the meat of the porcupine is also very delicious.

Porcupine spines, also known as susmo, are often used to make high-grade fishing buoys and craft ornaments.

However, after being developed by Chinese doctors, it was found that it has antihypertensive, ventilation, analgesic, blood circulation, blood stasis, dispelling wind, channeling, lactation, kidney strengthening and astringency, treating stomach, low back and leg pain, rheumatism, pharyngitis, skin itching, dandruff and other diseases.

Later generations of medicine have also been repeatedly clinically verified, and have concluded that it has significant curative effects on pharyngitis, gastric disease, arteriosclerosis, kidney strengthening diuresis and meridian activation.

And there is no need for deep processing, most of them just need to be ground into powder to make tea.

Wang Xu didn't know what it tasted like, but when he used to have a stomachache, Old Man Bai often gave him porcupine thorn granules.

It was really surprising to see porcupines here.

Wang Xu handed the porcupine thorn in his hand to Zhai Qiu, looked at the Fuyu boy who was kneeling on the ground, staring at him with bright eyes, and said with a smile: "He came to give a gift?" It's quite clever. ”

"His name is Falcon, and he is the most gifted one, and he is very obedient." Zhai Qiu frowned and threw the porcupine thorn to the falcon, his face was a little unkind, "But I didn't expect that there were so many thoughts, and I didn't find it at all before." ”

"It doesn't look like an honest child." Wang Xu looked at the falcon and said with a smile: "Go find a translator." ”

Zhai Qiu nodded, gestured twice at the falcon, and the falcon kowtowed and rode away.

"Good riding." Wang Xu smiled, "Go, deal with these porcupines, be careful of the thorns on them, they are very sharp." ”

"This thing is covered in thorns, can you eat it?" Zhai Qiu frowned and wondered.

"It's much better than mountain meat." Wang Xu smiled and walked back to the wooden table, "It looks like I'm going to have dinner here." ”

"The emperor doesn't need to delay for this little thing, the sun is about to go down, and it's not good to sail at night." Zhai Qiu Zhengse said: "And there are not enough guards here." ”

"What? Are you still afraid that these Buyeo children will serve us? Wang Xu grinned and said, "In that case, why do you have to make loopholes." ”

Zhai Qiu's face did not change: "Minister, this is to lure the snake out of the hole." ”

"Zhai Qiu, luring the snake out of the hole is used to deal with the enemy, these children will be their own people in the future." Wang Xu looked at Zhai Qiu with deep eyes.

Zhai Qiu was slightly stunned, pursed his lips and lowered his head.

"You must first slowly distinguish between cunning and cunning." Wang Xu smiled and shook his head, "Cunning is a motive, a kind of vigilance, but cunning is often the way BP survives and gropes it out." ”

Zhai Qiu frowned.

"You finally learned that everything is not black and white, why do you still make this mistake when you look at people?" Wang Xu chuckled and said, "The breeze blows the hills, the hills will not add color, the bright moon shines on the ditches, and the ditches will not be muddy." ”

"Treat the pawn as a baby, so you can go to the deep stream with you and see the pawn as a beloved son, so you can die with it. Thick but can't be made, love can't be ordered, chaos can't be cured, such as arrogance, can't be used. Zhai Qiu bowed slightly, and said with a straight face.

"Tu Tan left you something good." Wang Xu's eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth were hooked.

Zhai Qiu's body stiffened, and his eyes were a little flustered and at a loss.

"Are you lying to me?" Wang Xu narrowed his eyes, stood up, and pressed Zhai Qiu's shoulders, which were not wearing armor and looked a little thin.

Zhai Qiu's body trembled, and after instinctively pushing up, he wanted to kneel down again, but Wang Xu grabbed his shoulder with one hand and couldn't move.

"Look at me." Wang Xu's voice was slightly cold.

Zhai Qiu subconsciously put his head on the pair of demonic heavy pupils of the king Xu, and then dodged in a panic, "The minister doesn't dare." ”

"Don't dare, it's just that there's something unspeakable, right?" Wang Xu smiled unabated recently, and patted Zhai Qiu's shoulder, "But you did lie to me, right." ”

Zhai Qiu lowered his head.

"But with bad intentions?" Wang Xu's tone was frivolous.

Zhai Qiu was extremely panicked and swore: "The minister has no such thoughts!" If there is evil intentions, the ancestral god will rain thunder and bombard, and the Zhai clan will not be able to die! ”

"So, if you lie to me, you are cunning." Wang Xu smiled and slapped away his sworn palm, "Also, swearing is useless to me, you know." ”

The corners of Zhai Qiu's mouth twitched.

For the ancients, the best way to prove their innocence was to swear by gambling curses.

It can be regarded as a special good character.

But this fine character became a means of doing evil in later generations.

"A child who has never even walked out of the forest, how cunning can he go?" Wang Xu laughed softly, "But if you treat this childish cunning with the attitude of treating the wicked and cunning, then it is very likely that in the end, you will really turn the other party into a cunning person, which is not good for luring the snake out of the hole, because when you lure the snake, you have to use bait, and if the bait is not used well, it will become evil." ”

Zhai Qiu nodded: "The minister knows." ”

"What you just said is the art of war, but it is aimed at the art of war of the Central Plains people, if you want to use it on the lonely bamboo people, you have to slowly modify it yourself, this group of children is a good test object." Wang Xu smiled and said, "The Central Plains people's military book will be accustomed to treating the worst and most extreme results as a formula, what you just said, the first half is very good, if you love the soldier like a son, then the soldier will treat you like a father, this is the way to govern the army." ”

Zhai Qiu's face was solemn and he knelt in front of Wang Xu.

"But the second half of the sentence is equivalent to a direct negation of the previous way of governing the army, he thinks that if the soldier is spoiled as a child, he will spoil a pampered child, such a child cannot be used, but in fact, it is not only this extreme situation, Tu Tan was at the scene on the day he died, I spoil him enough, right?" Wang Xu tilted his head and looked at Zhai Qiu.

Zhai Qiu's pupils shrank.

Wang Xu smiled, "This art of war is right, but it is not the truth, nor is it the only one, he just chose a logic and method that can make you the most acceptable, so that you can choose the most convenient path, since it is difficult to use proud soldiers, then use mourning soldiers, and use severe punishment as a way to motivate slave soldiers, so that they are in fear on the battlefield, so that they can indeed achieve the effect of strict military discipline." ”

"However, it is also easy to mutiny, because you must know that the power of fear is limited, and it can break people, but there is one power that is infinite, and this power is called fearlessness." Wang Xu paused, and his gaze gradually became complicated, "But before they can learn to be fearless, you must make them fear you, so that all your orders will become meaningful, even if you sacrifice them, you must be equally fearless." ”

Although Zhai Qiu didn't understand, he unconsciously appeared in front of him at that time on the battlefield of Liaoyang, alone in the melee's army of millions, which seemed to be a drop in the ocean, but in fact it was like a falling star.

Perhaps, that's dauntlessness.

"You can't hate them, because if you hate them, they will hate you, you have to teach them how to like it, like every day's morning and twilight, like every companion around them, like the lonely bamboo that will become better because of them." Wang Xu propped his chin and pointed to the bright red and dazzling sunset that was about to set but shone the whole world, "You have to let them start looking forward to the rising sun tomorrow morning." ”

"Is this what it means to be alive?" Zhai Qiu's originally bright eyes suddenly became chaotic, and he muttered softly.

"Hmm." Wang Xu smiled and nodded, "When you start to look forward to the rising sun, you can really live, otherwise every drop of your sweat, every breath, every heartbeat will become a burden to your life, if you don't look forward to the rising sun, then you can only look at them and make you despair." ”

Zhai Qiu blinked, his mouth opened, but he didn't know what to say.

"You've been haunted by hatred for too many years, and now that you've got your revenge, it's time for you to embrace a new life." Wang Xu laughed softly.

Zhai Qiu's body trembled violently, and he looked up at Wang Xu, his eyes were red and there was a dead silence in his eyes, "However, I still can't seem to see the rising sun." ”

"Your eyes are only fixed on the haze, and naturally you can't see the morning sun." Wang Xu sighed lightly, "You have to try to look away." ”

Zhai Qiu's eyes moved, and he looked at the falcon who was riding outside with the translator, his brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

"Falcon said that the Thorn Beast is a god revered by the Buyeo people, but it did not make Buyeo strong, so he feels that the Thorn Beast is not a real god, and he hopes to prove to the Emperor by hunting the Thorn Beast that he is willing to hunt Buyeo to the Emperor in the same way as he hunts the Thorn Beast." The translator pulled the falcon to kneel on the ground, first performed a Fuyu etiquette to Wang Xu, and then said in a not too smooth elegant language, this translator Wang Xu has seen it, and it is the person next to King Wuqing.

Wang Xu smiled and nodded, looking at the falcon with a nervous face and black and white eyes dripping, "I can accept your kindness, so tell me, what do you want." ”

Hayabusa swallowed nervously and whispered something.

"He wants a bow, and it would be better if he had a sword." The interpreters looked at Falcon with some displeasure, thinking that he was a little greedy.

Hayabusa also lowered his head a little shyly.

Wang Xu smiled and looked at Zhai Qiu.

Zhai Qiu untied the captured long sword from his waist, although this sword was not as sharp as the Lan Jian sword, but it was easy to use and easy to carry.

Falcon watched in amazement as Zhai Qiu placed the long sword in front of him, and he had the impression that this masked general was a symbol of the God of Killing, and every time he appeared, someone would die.

"Tell him not to let down this sword, and as for the bow, I will give it to him later." Zhai Qiu wanted to try to smile at the falcon, but gave up and turned to the translator and said.

The translator hurriedly conveyed.

The corners of Wang Xu's mouth also showed a smile, squinting to enjoy the last sunset today.

In fact, he misinterpreted the sentence that Zhai Qiu asked before, Zhai Qiu's sentence came from the famous Art of War, although Wang Xu didn't know what Tu Tan left him, but he was still impressed by this sentence.

Because he had discussed with Old Man Bai for a long time because of this sentence before.

At that time, the topic of dispute between the two was whether Ci was in charge of the army.

Soldiers, fierce.

Therefore, everything related to soldiers is extremely cruel and extreme, especially in war, the biggest problem with Ci Bu is not whether the generals are pampered or strict with the soldiers, but whether the generals themselves can remain rational in the face of sacrifice.

The sentence in Sun Tzu's Art of War treats soldiers as children, how can parents watch their children die?

Therefore, the key issue of whether Ci is not in charge of the army is that the general's reason is greater than his emotion when dealing with the war, otherwise if he really delays the big thing because of his feelings, it will be an even more irreparable disaster.

Therefore, in terms of governing the army, it is necessary to be strict, and the generals should try to stay away from the life circle of the mass soldiers, so that in the time of war, they will not be easily swayed by emotion.

But ask yourself, even if the heart is like a steel general, people's hearts are flesh after all, and not looking at it does not mean not thinking about it.

Therefore, Wang Xu hopes that in terms of governing the army, everyone in the Guzhu Kingdom, from generals to soldiers, can have a clear conscience in the face of bloodshed and sacrifice.

Such a sacrifice may be more meaningful in some spiritual ways.

And Wang Xu is absolute, a team that knows what it is dying for and what it is fighting for is the strongest.

This is the realization that Wang Xu found from the most important War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in later generations.

The martyrs of millet plus BN, in the face of the well-equipped enemy army, had no fear, fearless charge, and finally won the important battle that affected the world pattern and even changed the fate of future generations for thousands of years.

In that battle, with a total of more than one million casualties, the martyrs relied on absolutely not the fear of military discipline, but the love for the future and the motherland in their hearts.

Wang Xu has always felt that this is called the power of miracles.

If the sacrifice becomes meaningful and worthwhile, then the four of the four soldiers will become a prejudice.

And more importantly, only by understanding what true compassion is, can one become a qualified commander.

In terms of hard work in martial arts and strict management of the army, Zhai Qiu is definitely a leader, and he has willpower and endurance that many people can hardly imagine.

But if you really want to become a qualified general, as stable as Wang Qian, as ruthless as Bai Qi, as strange as Li Mu, and as heavy as Lian Po, Zhai Qiu may never reach it, and even the heights of Li Xin and Wang Li are difficult for him to achieve.

Because Zhai Qiu is still a crippled person.

So he is also crippled when looking at many problems, which is his well-known weakness, because more than ten years of slavery have worn out not only his personality, but also his humanity.

From his behavior of taking the Lan Gang army and Sai people for dozens of miles in one day and one night, it can be seen that Zhai Qiu is extreme.

A general who is not in charge of the army can lose a lot because of a small one.

But an extremely crazy general is bound to bring destruction.

So Wang Xu hopes that he will take a good look at the world and feel the world.

Whether it is lush vegetation, vast rivers, or vast starry sky.

I believe that there is always some beauty that can dissipate all the haze in his eyes.
