Chapter 23: Face
No way? Didn't these people even have the patience to let them wait for more than an hour before they all ran away?
Zhuge Liang was also stunned, obviously he didn't expect this to be the situation, as far as he knew, the soldiers were very positive about this selection, and this should not be the case. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, a herald came to the school in a hurry, and said breathlessly: "The two gentlemen have finally come out, you should go to the school to have a look." ”
"Schoolyard?" Liu He turned his head and glanced at Zhuge Liang, could it be that there was an accident in the army again?
The herald continued: "The two gentlemen don't know, just now there were a lot of soldiers outside your tent, so that the place was surrounded by water, and the captains of each battalion let their men disperse first, but not only no one listened, but there were more and more soldiers watching, and in the end, General Zhang Fei personally went out to bring those people to the school to wait for the two gentlemen, but it was ......."
Liu He frowned and asked, "Just what?" The soldiers have an opinion? ”
With a look of embarrassment, the herald raised his eyes and glanced at Liu He, and whispered: "The soldiers are nothing, just the captains of each battalion......"
Having said this, the voice of the herald Xiaoxiao became lower and lower, and he began to slurb again, Liu He was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Zhuge Liang.
He can't be blamed for this, and he can't say anything more in this matter. It seems that the captains of each battalion have a great opinion on this selection, but this is also reasonable, if someone comes to recruit your subordinates, how do you feel? ”
Liu He smiled bitterly and didn't embarrass the herald colonel again. But this incident came to this point, which greatly surprised him.
But this is also in line with Zhuge Liang's words, everything is reasonable.
Although Liu He's recent clever plans have won the unanimous approval of the whole army, this selection obviously touched the authority of these captains. Just now, the herald colonel also said that these soldiers didn't even listen to the orders of the captain of the battalion for this selection, can these captains easily give up?
When Liu He arrived at the school ground, although the soldiers were excited when they saw him, the faces of the several captains standing on the side were indeed obviously annoyed.
Zhang Fei stood in front of several captains, raising his eyebrows, it seemed that he should have reprimanded these captains in order to defend Liu Hegang.
Liu He was bitter when he saw it, although Zhang Fei had good intentions, but in this way, the estrangement between himself and those lieutenants was probably deeper.
Zhuge Liang walked to Liu He's side and said softly: "In such a situation, I think it is better to appease a few lieutenants first." ”
Liu He nodded, it is true.
This lieutenant is a mid-level official position in the army, with generals and non-commissioned officers, but it is this position that connects the upper and lower levels that makes them the hub of daily affairs and wartime command in the army.
Although there is no war now, there is nothing unusual, but once the war starts, if the captains of each battalion have a grudge against themselves, I am afraid that the order will not be smoothly conveyed to the whole battalion, and he Liu He will not be able to carry out no matter how many schemes he has.
Liu He walked up to Zhang Fei and said with a smile: "General Zhang, let me say a few words?" ”
When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately said loudly to everyone: "You all listen carefully to Mr. Liu's instructions to Lao Tzu, don't chatter underneath, make Lao Tzu upset." ”
Zhang Fei's voice really worked, and the originally noisy school field was suddenly silent.
Liu He smiled at Zhang Fei, ignored the cruel gazes cast by the captains, and walked directly in front of the soldiers.
"Everyone knows about this selection, so I won't say more, but I have discussed with Mr. Zhuge for a long time, and I have to add an additional qualification for this selection." As he spoke, he pointed to several captains next to him with his hand, "If you want to participate in this selection, you must be recommended by the captains of your own camp to be eligible, and those who apply privately will be invalid." ”
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers looked at each other, and some of them had a slight remorse on their faces. You must know that in order to seize this opportunity, many of them have the mentality of breaking the boat, so much so that they ignored the orders of the captain of the battalion just now, and even a few of them openly contradicted each other.
It is precisely because of this that these lieutenants feel that their majesty has been damaged, so this resentment is sprinkled on Liu He.
"Not only that, but if I need to select talents again in the future, I must be recommended by the captains of each battalion, and you are all soldiers, so you should understand the two most important points in the army, that is, rules and obedience. And the captains of each battalion have led the troops for many years, and they know best which of you best meets these two requirements, so it is only fitting that they recommend them. ”
After Liu He finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the side of several captains, and said with a smile: "I will ask a few more people to bother in the future." ”
At this time, these captains no longer had the vicious expressions just now, but all greeted each other with smiling faces.
It's no wonder that Liu He's words just now not only made them regain their face, but also gave them a great right, if they want to enter Liu He's team in the future, they must first pass the test here, so that their status in the hearts of the soldiers is more important than before.
Why, then, should they allocate some men from their respective battalions?
Liu He looked at their satisfied smiling faces, and couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, people live for a lifetime, just for the sake of face, fighting for a breath, sometimes it is more important for them than to get a benefit.
Several lieutenants said one after another that they would do whatever they were told in the future.
Liu He nodded with satisfaction, what he was waiting for was your words, since you want to save face, then I will give you enough face today, but this benefit, I'm afraid I will have to go.
"Thank you for giving me face, but ......" Liu He suddenly changed his words, his face was embarrassed, "I think you also know about this time, the deadline is coming, you see if you can make it convenient for me this time, let me select some talents first, help the lord tide over the difficulties, and recommend it by you next time, what do you think?" ”
When several lieutenants heard this, they immediately patted their chests and expressed their attitude.
"Although Mr. Liu was selected in our camp, I will never say a word."
"We are all here to help the master share his worries, since this is the case, why should Mr. Liu be polite?"
"Yes, you can choose from our battalion."
"Our gang of people are all big and coarse, I don't know what to recommend or not recommend, if you lack manpower in the future, I think you will pick it directly like this time, and it will save us trouble."
When several other lieutenants heard this, they all echoed it, saying that they didn't need to go through them anymore.
