Chapter 472: Rectify Military Affairs

"What? I haven't seen anyone, and you're drunk? Zhang Xian couldn't wait to jump up and scold, but reason told him that things were not so simple, and he should think carefully about what was going on. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It turned out that Jia Monkey finally woke up after half a day, and he was brought to Zhang Xian and told what happened to the envoy.

"There were soldiers guarding the mountain, and seeing that I was the only one who came down the mountain, and that I had come to seek peace, they did not embarrass me, but only said that there was a rule that only after drinking a jar of wine could I enter the barracks. I think that I usually have two or three jars of wine, and one jar of wine is not a problem, so I pick up the jar and drink it. But as soon as I took my mouth, I knew that I was wrong, and that the wine was so spicy that it was not only difficult to drink, but also very intoxicating, and I lost consciousness after drinking less than half a jar, and when I woke up I was back on the mountain. ”

As soon as Jia Monkey finished speaking, Zhang Xian became angry, and he had to drink when he entered a military camp, which rule is this? Immediately, he understood that this was a rule, and it was simply a strategy used by the other party.

It's just still puzzling. The other party has tens of thousands of troops, and he surrounds himself to the water, it is the time of rampant pride, since he does not want to see his messenger, there are many methods: rushing back, saying that he can't say anything, making excuses, just relying on or arresting, etc., is not too much, but he doesn't use any of them, but he uses wine to get people drunk, what is the reason?

Is it to test the amount of alcohol consumed? Or can't drink too much wine? Or is it a maverick who says that no one can guess the method he uses?

No matter what the reason, Zhang Xian still understands one thing, that is, the other party does not want to communicate with him, of course, if there is a jar of high wine, it is okay.

The secret recipe of high alcohol has been announced many years ago, and high alcohol is also sold on the market, Zhang Xian is no stranger to this kind of wine, he knows that even if there are usually three jars of low-alcohol wine, it is difficult to drink one jar of high-alcohol wine, not to mention that most people can't drink three jars of low-alcohol wine, which makes it even more difficult to enter the barracks.

If you can't go to the barracks, you can't see the other party's boss, if you can't see the other party's boss, you can't make peace, and if you can't ask for peace, you can only wait for death, Zhang Xian was depressed for a while.

Fortunately, Zhang Xian also saw hope from the other party's approach, that is, the other party had no malice for the time being, otherwise he would not give his envoy a drink.

It's just that now, the top priority is how to enter the barracks, and Zhang Xian can't help but have a headache.

It is more difficult to enter the door of the wine jar than the door of the soldiers, and none of his subordinates has that majestic amount of wine, even if he sends someone to go again, he will return drunk, Zhang Xian doesn't know what to do.

It can be seen from this incident that the other party does not seem to accept his surrender, nor does he kill him quickly, but just hangs him there, like a cat playing with a mouse, making him restless, but why is all this?

Zhang Xian is distressed here, and Gao Feng is also depressed over there.

Only through personal experience can we know how difficult it is to command an army, especially with an army of tens of thousands of people.

In Gao Feng's view, the number of people is not as good as the original, for example, now, the concentration of 10,000 people has become a pot of porridge.

The order is not stopped, the upward and downward are ineffective, and in general, his orders are not implemented thoroughly, which makes him very angry.

After calming down, Gao Feng carefully analyzed the reason.

First, these soldiers come from four states, their military quality is uneven, they do not understand each other, they do not have a tacit understanding, and some of them are passing the buck to each other, not giving in to each other, and doing their own thing.

Second, the commanders of the various armies do not understand or believe in Gao Feng; they say one thing on the surface and do another behind their backs, and some even find all kinds of excuses to brazenly disobey military orders, which makes it impossible to carry out orders and prohibitions.

Third, the township soldiers who were arranged could not control the army for a while, and they were more often overlooked, and the management and training methods of the peak could not be implemented.

Fourth, it is easy to be deformed in the process of order transmission, or due to the constraints of conditions, it cannot be conveyed in time, resulting in poor upload and serious disconnection between superiors and subordinates.

Fifth, there is an unhealthy tendencies that have formed in the army over the years; from officers to soldiers, they are all greedy for pleasure and corrupt to the core; they cope with errands on the surface, but behind the scenes, they make a thousand calculations, they do not contribute to their work, people are floating in things, things are superficial, everyone is in a mess, and there is no spirit of enduring hardships.

All this, to put it bluntly, is that Gao Feng still can't control the army of tens of thousands of people. Of course, this is related to the Song Dynasty's military system of "soldiers do not know generals, generals do not know soldiers", and it is also related to the experience of leading troops at the peak.

It's just that Gao Feng is not a military general, and he doesn't have more command experience, and although there are many generals on hand, there are very few handsome talents, so it is not so easy to change this situation for a while.

What to do? Gao Feng realized that this situation would definitely not be able to fight, and military affairs must be rectified.

It's just that there is a lot of content to rectify military affairs, so where should we start? After thinking about it, Gao Feng quickly made a decision, that is, to make an example of one hundred people, in order to set an example, he decided to start from the perspective of maintaining discipline, take people to the knife, and find a bird.

It is not too easy to find a bird in this messy situation.

The soldiers of the four states, three thousand in Qizhou, Gao Feng has already taken over, so they are quite easy to use, they are also the most obedient people, and the army commander Guan Sheng is still Gao Feng's most powerful assistant.

The Qingzhou Army is relatively complex, and among them there are both forbidden troops and box troops, with many elements and different levels, and it is difficult to unify their quality. Each of the two branches of the armed forces has an army (that is, 2,500 men), which accounts for half of the total military strength, so there are many people who are indiscriminate.

Zi and Wei each had 1,000 soldiers, and each of them was divided into two battalions, each with a battalion commander. These two soldiers usually do not practice training, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the local soldiers have serious habits, so they are the most unangry group.

Gao Feng caught a battalion commander in Weizhou this time, and after Gao Feng issued the order to change guards, he did not convey the military order for half an hour, nor did he organize an action, and he happened to be found by the inspection team.

This is a manifestation of the order, and Gao Feng directly asked people to arrest him. It was only not long after Gao Feng arrested him that someone privately revealed that this person was Cai You's person.

Gao Feng naturally knew that Cai You was Cai Jing's eldest son, and he was a big celebrity in front of Zhao Ji, although he was not capable, he was smaller than Cai Jing's heart, and he was the master who could not be offended at all.

It depends on the owner to beat the dog, and it is simple to clean up a battalion commander, but it is not simple to refute Cai You's face. Maybe that person is not worth mentioning to Cai You, but once he is cleaned up, it will be difficult for Cai You to explain there. Gao Feng hesitated.
