Chapter 88: Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions
Lu Bu's official position was adjusted to the rank of captain, with 2,000 soldiers and horses under his command.
Soon, all 2,000 soldiers and horses were adjusted in place.
Two thousand soldiers and horses, five hundred cavalry, and one thousand fifteen hundred infantry remained.
After all the grain, grass and ordnance were in place, Lu Bu led the team, left Luoyang, and began to move forward.
The beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion will not be too smooth, Huangfu Song will be surrounded, and the officers and soldiers will suffer some defeats.
Let's just say that Dong Zhuo, who is rampant in the back, actually did not make any achievements in suppressing the Yellow Turban Uprising.
If it weren't for the bribery of the ten permanent servants, it is estimated that they would have to eat the board.
Because there is still plenty of time now, Lu Bu is not in a hurry to confront the Yellow Turban Army, and the marching route directly staggers the Yellow Turban Army.
The first stop, Lu Bu, was going to Bingzhou, and then took a detour from Bingzhou, passing through Jizhou to Youzhou.
The military advisor who accompanied the army this time was Jia Xu, and it should be said that he was also the only military advisor in Lu Bu at present.
As for Xun Yu, he can only wait until he comes back to find a way to win him over.
Seeing Lu Bu's marching route, even with Jia Xu's wisdom, it was difficult to understand.
Jia Xu couldn't help asking: "Lord, are we going to Bingzhou?" β
This route looks like it's going to help General Lu Zhi, but if you go this way, you're going astray?
Could it be that the lord has a battle plan that he doesn't understand?
Lu Bu smiled slightly and said to Jia Xu: "Yes, the first stop is to go to Bingzhou first." β
Jia Xu was stunned and asked, "Eh, I don't know what the lord wants?" β
Lu Bu smiled slightly and said: "Wenhe, this time to exterminate the Yellow Turban Thief is not a day's work!" As for us, we must preserve our strength while being able to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army, and try to attract as many talents as possible. β
Huo, you just said that you want to hide behind and pick up the bargain, don't you have to be so tactful.
Jia Xu himself is known as a poisoner, and he is not a good person, but Lu Bu's thinking is exactly his temperament.
However, so far, Jia Xu still hasn't figured out what kind of medicine is being sold in Lu Bu's gourd, so he simply doesn't ask anymore and prepares to observe it himself.
On the first day, after marching more than 60 miles, LΓΌ Bu ordered his soldiers to set up camp.
After finishing his work, Lu Bu gathered all the soldiers together and began to lecture.
Lu Bu stood in front of the whole army and said loudly: "Everyone knows that the purpose of our trip is to exterminate the Yellow Turban Thieves!" The Yellow Turban thieves burned the government all the way, robbed the property, and coerced the people, and they were heinous and deserved death! β
"We are the regular army of the imperial court! There must be strict military orders and military discipline, and the people must not be disturbed along the way, the people's property must not be robbed, and the people must not be snatched by skill! Therefore, General Ben has set three major records and eight points of attention for you, and everyone must memorize them and strictly abide by them. β
The purpose of Lu Bu's lecture was mainly to announce the discipline and let everyone memorize it.
Next, Lu Bu began to announce the three major disciplines and eight attentions.
This discipline was too long, and the soldiers below couldn't help but have bitter faces.
It's so long, how can you carry it?
The soldiers are basically big and coarse, and it's really difficult for them to let them carry this.
Lu Bu smiled slightly, asked everyone to sit down cross-legged, and then said to all the soldiers: "In this way, these three disciplines and eight points of attention can still be sung, and I will teach you how to sing it below!" β
"The soldiers should keep in mind that the three disciplines and eight points of attention should be paid attention to! First, all actions are commanded, and only by moving in unison can we win! β
"Second, I don't take a needle and thread from the people, and the people support and like me! Third, all seizures should be credited, and efforts should be made to reduce the burden on the people! β
"We must do the three major disciplines, and don't forget the eight points of attention! First, we should speak in a peaceful manner, respect the people, and don't be arrogant. β
"Second, the buying and selling price should be fair, and public buying and selling should not be overbearing; Thirdly, if the borrowed person has used it, return it in person and do not lose it. β
"Fourthly, if something is damaged, the compensation shall not be worse than half a cent; Fifth, it is forbidden to beat or insult people, and the banditry style is resolutely overcome. β
"Sixthly, the crops of the people are cared for, and the marches and battles are taken care of everywhere; Seventh, it is forbidden to molest women, and the habit of hooliganism must be eliminated. β
"Eighth, it is forbidden to mistreat captives, beat and scold, or search their pockets; Everyone should be conscious of observing discipline, supervise each other, and never violate it. β
"The rules and regulations of marching discipline must be clearly remembered, and the children of the people love the people everywhere; The defense of the homeland and country will always move forward, and the people of the whole country will support and welcome it. β
That's right, this song is the "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions" sung by the Red Army in later generations, and Lu Bu slightly modified the lyrics in it.
The song is catchy, very good, and easy to sing.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Bu taught, all the soldiers soon liked the song.
Marching and fighting is a very boring thing, and they are also emotionally nervous, and they were asked to recite military rules just now, and everyone was not happy.
But now let them sing, then the situation is completely different, and everyone loves to sing.
Singing can make fun of the mood, relieve stress, and the song is very good, everyone likes to sing!
And after listening to this song, Jia Xu admired Lu Bu even more.
Jia Xu naturally thought much farther than those soldiers, and knew what the appearance of this song meant.
When marching and fighting, the soldiers' emotions are very tense, and excessive tension often leads to a lot of problems.
But with this song, it's a very good way for everyone to sing together, or have a competition or something, which can relieve stress and improve cohesion.
Moreover, this song is catchy, and once you learn it, it will definitely be widely spread.
I believe that it won't be long before the people will know about the existence of this song.
As long as this song is sung, Lu Bujun's good reputation of being strict in discipline and loving the people like a son will naturally spread!
In the end, Lu Bu simply changed the name of the team he led to the people's soldiers.
After about half an hour of teaching, everyone learned the song.
A small percentage of people may not be able to remember the lyrics for a while, but the vast majority can memorize them.
I believe that in less than two days, everyone will be able to write it down.
After Lu Bu announced his disbandment, many soldiers were still unsatisfied, and they hummed the three disciplines and eight points of attention.
After a night of silence, before marching the next day, LΓΌ Bu gathered all the soldiers and sang a song before setting off.
Sure enough, the mood and enthusiasm of the soldiers were mobilized.
Seeing this scene, Lu Bu was also quite satisfied, and secretly called this hand really powerful.
It is no wonder that the Red Army of later generations made so many red songs, and there is indeed a reason for him.
At this time, there were often mutinies in the army, which was caused by the soldiers being too nervous to be released.
If you get everyone together and sing if it's okay, will this kind of thing still happen? Definitely not.
But one song is still too little, you can find a few more songs to teach everyone.
