In Nanping Mansion, the war between Han Yuan and Sun Xun is in full swing.

The won of Fucheng have not closed their eyes for several days, and the front line is a steady stream of battle reports, not only from Nanping, but also from Li Kui in Bei'an.

Regarding the battle report from Bei'an Mansion, Han Yuan put it aside for the time being, after all, he had already handed over the command to Li Kui, and he didn't care how the other party beat him. On the Nanping side, Ma Erhan of Gaoyang County and Ermao of Changshan County reported that Han Yuan was worried.

According to the situation reported by the two, the thieves in Nayizhou seemed to have fallen into evil, and everyone was not afraid of death, fighting bravely to be the first, and the offensive was so fierce that the Chu army trembled. Even Ma Erhan, who had experienced so many battles with Han won, was shocked, which is a soldier, it is clearly a demon!

Han Yuan relayed the situation to Zhu Yifeng, hoping that he could think of a countermeasure, but Zhu Yifeng listened to it, but he didn't think so.

"Sir! If we continue to fight like this, the morale of our army will inevitably decline, but I am afraid that it will not last long! ”

In the inner hall of the Earl's Palace, Han Yuan walked around and said to Zhu Yifeng worriedly.

Zhu Yifeng sat on a chair, drank a cup of tea casually, and said with a smile: "Lord, those who seek great things, the most taboo is dry, you might as well be like Yifeng, sit down and drink a cup of tea first, what is the big thing, think about it slowly, there is always a solution." ”

Since Han Yuan met Zhu Yifeng, except for the last time he reprimanded himself, the other party almost never had a sense of impetuousness, as if he was born with such a temperament, able to deal with military and political affairs calmly and calmly.

If someone else spoke to Han Yuan like this, Han Yuan was only afraid that he would be angry on the spot, but this person was Mr. Zhu, and Han Yuan was unwilling and did not dare to be a little stunned in front of him.

"Sir, if you have any good ideas, you may as well tell me quickly, you are not in my position, and you can't understand my difficulties." Han Yuan picked up the tea, drank a little lightly, and said leisurely.

"Lord, why do you think the soldiers of Yizhou are so brave and good at fighting?" Zhu Yifeng asked slowly after Han Yuan's mind calmed down.

Han Yuan thought for a moment and said, "There are two reasons for thinking about it. First, the realm of Nayizhou is full of lofty mountains, deep swamps and huge pools, and it is barren. Since ancient times, the poor mountains and bad waters have come out of the people, so it is not surprising that the soldiers and horses of Yizhou are more fierce than other counties. ”

"Second, most of the soldiers and generals under Sun Xun are his followers, and Sun's cult has always preached that believers can ascend to heaven after death, and it has been poisoned in the local area for a long time, and the foolish people are very susceptible to its demagoguery, which is also the reason why the soldiers and horses of Yizhou are brave."

Zhu Yifeng bowed his head and said: "The two points that the lord said are good, but the lord seems to have missed a key point. ”

"What's the point?" Han Won was puzzled.

Zhu Yifeng said: "Since ancient times, he will be the courage of the army, and the handsome will be the soul of the army." One of the most important reasons why the Yizhou thieves have a high fighting spirit and are not afraid of death is that their sect leader, Sun Xun, has been standing behind them! Fight with them and wave the banner for them. ”

"What does Mr. mean that Yuan should also go to the front line in person, break the cauldron and sink the boat, and live and die with the soldiers?" Han Won asked.

Zhu Yi nodded and said, "The ancients said that the son of a daughter can't sit down." At the moment of life and death, Yifeng actually does not recommend that the lord risk his life. But this time, the lord should indeed go to the front line in person. The soldiers and horses of Yizhou, in terms of combat power alone, Yifeng thought that they were far superior to the Chu army. ”

"Sir, Yuan wants to ask, is there any good way to let Yuan's tens of thousands of Chu troops one day be in danger and move forward?" Han Won couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Yifeng was stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Yifeng has three methods, I hope the lord will consider it." First, meritocracy. This is not a cliché, throughout the ancient times, those who have achieved great things have not been able to make the best use of things and make the best use of their talents. If there are some people who have mediocre talents but can steal high positions, and those who have no long skills but can enjoy wealth, this will not only lead to disaster in the long run. And the truly talented people will also feel unjust, and finally choose another master. ”

Han Yuan faintly heard that Zhu Yifeng's words should be an allusion to the two brothers, but Mr. Zhu's words were reasonable, and Han Yuan already knew what to do in his heart.

Zhu Yifeng took a sip of tea, and then said: "Second, the rewards and punishments are clear. The lord of the imperial army has been in the army for a long time, and he must have a deep understanding that a warrior who carries his head to work for others, if he makes war exploits but is not rewarded, the bitterness in his heart can be imagined, and the next time he encounters the same opportunity, he is afraid that he will lose his enterprising spirit. ”

Han Yuan thought so, fortunately, his luck back then was too good, every time he made a great contribution, no one could cover it, and it was with those military exploits that he was able to get to today's position step by step.

"Sir, please say the third." Han Won said busily.

Zhu Yifeng stroked his short beard and said: "Third, Yifeng hopes that in the future, the lord can allocate a special sum of money to compensate the families of those loyal and righteous people who died on the battlefield. Born in the world, everyone has only one life, if it is not forced by livelihood, who does not want to die of old age? Who wants to kill someone with a knife? I hope that the lord will have mercy on those soldiers who go to the soup for you. ”

Han Yuan nodded heavily, he suddenly remembered himself a few years ago, at that time, he lived in Rotten Peach Village carefree, and every day he did nothing more than do some idle things to dig birds and catch fish, how could he have thought that he would have these encounters later. And the brothers who came out of Daliang Town together at the beginning are now afraid that there will be no one in ten.

"Sir's three good policies, Yuan will adopt them one by one, especially the last one."

Zhu Yifeng looked at him with satisfaction, for a long time, and suddenly said: "Yifeng thank you for the billions of dollars." ”

…

The sunshine of early spring was as bright as ever, and Sun Xun's mood under the military tent was the same.

The Yizhou army has been fighting a series of battles since it entered Chu, and the two generals under Han Yuan, Ma Erhan and Liu Ermao, were almost frightened by Sun Xun. Now the two of them only dare to shrink in the county town to survive, and they don't have the courage to go out of the city to fight.

Sun Xun was reading the military newspaper in front of the case, and Huang Su suddenly walked in. When Sun Fu was still alive that day, he ordered Su Fu, Huang Su, and Han Tong to serve as his mentors, and among the three, Huang Su had the closest relationship with Sun Xun.

"Sir, come in a hurry, is there something important?" Sun Xun asked with a smile at the moment with the military newspaper in hand.

Seeing that there was no one left and right, Huang Su closed the general's tent and said in a low voice: "Lord, there is something that I have heard for a long time, I don't know if you have heard of it." ”

Sun Xun said lightly: "Sir, do you want to talk about Mr. Han Tonghan?" In fact, I already knew his identity. ”

Huang Su was surprised: "What? The lord knows about it, so why does the lord keep this person by his side and let him marry and have children? ”

Sun Xundao: "Does Sir want me to slaughter this person in front of the whole army to pay tribute to my father's spirit in the sky?" ”

Huang Su was silent, acquiescing to Sun Xun's words.

Sun Xun shook his head and said, "Sir, what do you think is the point of killing him?" Honoring my father's spirit in heaven? My father was killed by Han Yuan, and it was not killed by Mr. Han, so how can I say that I will pay tribute? ”

Huang Su listened to his words and couldn't help but wonder in his heart. As a student, he has always been thoughtful and decisive, can he really feel compassion for a Han Tong?

Sun Xun said with a smile: "Sir, I have my own plans, don't mention this matter again, and don't let Mr. Han know that his son is my father's killer, so that he won't be afraid all day long." ”

Huang Su looked at Sun Xun, and admired him more and more in his heart. Huang Su knew that his student was actually superior to him in all aspects, so Huang Su never regarded himself as a teacher in front of him.
