Chapter 5 Calling the Shots

Military discipline has been a bit inexplicable until the 21 st century, because it is simple and complex.

Morale is invisible and intangible, strict military discipline and high morale show that this team is very combative, but there is no causal relationship between strict military discipline and high morale, on the contrary, in the eighth century, the stronger the combat effectiveness, the worse the military discipline tends to be.

Historically, nearly 300 years later, in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yue Jiajun, who was talked about by later generations, had a very famous slogan.

Die of hunger and do not plunder, and freeze to death without demolishing houses.

This army is known for its excellent military discipline, which has the same effect as the famous people's army in the 20 th century, and the slogan of the latter has become the three major disciplines and eight points of attention.

Whatever the meaning of these slogans is, they can be summed up in three words, that is, do not disturb the people.

If a well-disciplined team can not disturb the people, then the common situation is that most of the teams are disturbing the people, but the severity of the situation is different.

When they are hungry, they will take captivity, and when they are cold, they will tear down houses.

The soldiers and horses of Beiting are guest troops, and they have nothing to do with the local people, so they are more perverse in their actions, which Wei Chisheng has been mentally prepared for, and the only way to reduce the occurrence of this kind of thing is to meet their requirements, hoping that they will be full of food and drink, and can leave mellowly, or be embarrassed to rob the people again.

"Let me go."

Wei Chiyao opened his mouth to break the silence: "How can I say that I am also the younger brother of the king, after the governor's mansion stays, my identity and position are suitable, negotiate with them, if it doesn't go well, you can come forward and change again." ”

This is a method, but Wei Chisheng is a little worried about his temperament, the matter is not small, the victims are his own people, if he can't calm down, when the time comes, it's better not to go.

"Don't worry, I'm measured." Wei Chiyao knew his concerns and said with relief.

"Well, you have to go through some training, take my guards, and say it well, if it doesn't work, withdraw first, don't hard top, hard will only suffer."

Yu Chiyao waved his hand, got up and walked to the door, and Jia Luo, who was sitting on the side, wanted to slip away quietly, but as soon as he moved his legs, he was stared at by a stern gaze.

"Son, go and say hello to A-Niang."

"Hmm."

Wei Chisheng made a sound from her nose, and the girl slowly withdrew from the lobby, and the whole army was already preparing to set off outside, she hesitated for a while, looked behind her carefully, and sneaked out against the wall.

There is only one person left in the lobby, at this time, he has no leisure to think about the thoughts of his children, things are a little strange, he has to think about it a little more, at this juncture, if something ugly happens in Khotan, even if he takes advantage of it, it will also add to Chang'an.

"What do you say about the town guard mansion?" The one who came to report the news came from the house, and when he heard his question, he immediately answered.

"The old envoy hasn't entered the country yet, I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up."

Then the matter can only fall on his own head, and Wei Chisheng has no luck, and orders one after another.

"Open the treasury, prepare more money and food, if it is not enough, go to the mansion to find it, so as to pass this pass first."

Without waiting for his subordinates to leave, he added: "Recruit all the female prostitutes in the city, and say that there is a banquet in the house, and their money is all covered in the house, and no one can excuse it, otherwise don't make a living in Khotan." ”

The subordinates were slightly stunned, and then bowed and took the order.

The town general of Pishan Town also sent a messenger, and the rest was only waiting, and this was a day, but what he didn't expect was that it was not the Khotanese army or the town army that came, but also the Qiankeng soldiers under the banner of the Anxi Garrison Army, as well as the defenders of Hu Crossbow Town in front, he knew in addition to the town general Wang Tao, as well as the old envoy's son.

"Advance Lang Jun, make Jun back?" Yang Yu's appearance would of course make him think that the town army had returned, but he never thought about it, but the other party shook his head.

"How many people do you have available here?"

Yang Yu's next words made him feel uneasy: "There are only 400 people here, all of them are new Long March athletes, and they have never been in battle. ”

"If you can get a knife and a gun, go and call someone."

Yang Yu's tone was not at all suspicious, and the town general had to look at Wang Tao as if asking for help, and the latter gave him a look to do so before hesitantly walking out.

In fact, Yang Yu himself has no bottom on this matter, Liu Ji is much faster than them, where he will be at this time, no one knows, most of the people in Qiankengshu are here, led by Zhang Wuyuan, the old military deputy, Xu Guangjing and the others don't know where to go, he can't help but ask more.

"What does Gorou want to do?"

"Just say that you will know when the time comes, but I don't hide it, and I am confused."

Zhang Wuxuan shook his head, the reason why they were at night was because they wanted to gather the garrisons around them, even the sergeants from a few to a dozen people in the beacon did not let go, plus the original eight hundred people in Hu Xuan Town, they finally made up a team of more than 1,000 people, which looked quite a bit like that.

However, in the eyes of his old soldiers, such a team is only a little better than the temporary formation of the people, and it is useless to really see the formation.

The other party has nearly 2,000 elite horsemen, who have participated in many bloody battles with the Tubo people, they can look down on Wang Weiliang's character, but they will never underestimate his combat strength.

Before Liu Ji left, the explanation to him was to try to gather the sergeants as much as possible and make a big fanfare, and when all the people in Pishan Town arrived, the team had expanded to more than 1,500 people, and all kinds of flags showed that they belonged.

During this period, Yang Yu has been taking his remaining five horsemen to patrol under the city, because Xinfuzhou is only one step away from Pishan Town, if the other party is on guard, he only needs to send a few patrol horses to know, but according to his observation, this group of people does not know if they are too careless, or they think that they have returned to their own territory, and they don't even bother to arrange a patrol, so they all go in to have fun.

At this time, many people of Khotan who had been driven out of the city had gathered, and there were people who knew him, all of whom were crying and came forward to tell him, all kinds of evil deeds, listening to Yang Yu's ears, he only felt that his chest was tight, looking at the black crowd in front of him, he suddenly had a thought.

"We are Khotanese people, we have been bullied, there is no reason not to fight back, if you want someone to be in charge with you, you will show the courage of a man, do you dare?"

The people didn't expect him to say this, and they were a little stunned for a while, but after a while, there were always good people who saw that this was going to make a big deal out of it.

"Pre-Lang Jun, you say, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, follow so-and-so."

He glanced at the rooms not far away, and said in a good moment.
