……

In the evening, the remnant sun was like blood, and the two bloody heads had been pulled up by hemp rope and hung above the gate of Zhao Zu's small camp for everyone to see.

The man who was in the same army as the father and son was to sit together because they did not report it in time, and the soldier who was dozing and careless that night vigil was also punished. Seven or eight men were pressed down on the open ground where their heads had just been cut off, their clothes stripped off, and each of them was given 20 to 30 lashes, and the smooth wooden sticks were whipped on the shoulders and backs of the people, and they cried out in pain.

Otherwise, there was silence in the camp, no one objected, no one spoke, and hundreds of soldiers were accustomed to watching these men being punished, believing that they deserved it.

After the punishment was completed, it was rewarded, and everyone, including the punished person, ate the meat and wine that Chang'an Jun had rewarded.

They sat in a circle in front of the fire and the cauldron, and while feasting on large pieces, they looked up at the two wide-eyed heads on the gate with palpitations, and warned themselves not to be foolish, to follow the example of this unfortunate father and son, and to become deserters.

At the back of the camp, on a small boulder mound dug in a ravine, Mingyue found Zhao Kuo, who was in a sullen daze alone, with a weed twisted in his hand, and a faint smell of blood on his body.

Mingyue didn't speak, and handed a pot of rice wine to Zhao Kuo, when Zhao Kuo reached out to take the wine, Mingyue found that his hand was still trembling slightly, not at all like before.

Just now, Zhao Kuo was so ruthless that he asked the father and son to press on the pitch-black hardwood, raised the heavy axe and swung it, and neatly cut off the heads of the two. Blood splattered on the mud floor, and the crimson mixed with the yellow mud stained the ground a dark red.

At this moment, Zhao Kuo was like a thirsty person, raised the leather pot and poured it violently, before he spit out a breath of turbidity: "Don't hide it from Chang'anjun, this is the first time I have killed someone." ”

Mingyue drank a lighter liquor, and also took a sip: "Don't hide it, it's the first time I've seen someone killed at such a close distance." ”

Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing: "Is Chang'anjun afraid?" ”

Mingyue didn't hide: "I'm a little scared, and I'm a little disgusting." ”

Despite this, Mingyue didn't turn her head, but watched the whole process, watching Zhao Kuo raise his axe high and cut it down, watching the corpse lying on the ground, blood gushing out of his neck, and watching the mud and slurp blood hungrily!

As a modern person, the most cruel picture he had ever seen in his previous life was to kill pigs and chickens, and when the matter was over, after a shiver, looking back, the reaction of the soldiers was as if they were watching two chickens beheaded.

Thinking that when he came to the Handan barracks, everyone was already used to killing people, and Shu Qi also saw a lot of swordsmen facing each other, breaking their necks and cutting their abdomen, and their faces were indifferent. On the contrary, it was Mingyue and Zhao Kuo, like two chicks who had experienced this kind of thing for the first time, and they were sullen here.

Zhao Kuo said slowly: "The young soldier named Wu, his usual drills are very good, and he also said that when I become a general, he will be a pawn for me, I think he was forced by his father to follow." As for Yuan, this ignorant old man, who glared at me fiercely before he died, must have hated me for killing his son. ”

"You didn't have to do it yourself." Mingyue said lightly.

"I have heard that many of the generals sat in their tents after they had given orders to be beheaded, and waited until the business outside was done before they went out to have a look."

Zhao Kuo had another opinion: "Otherwise, my father once told me that if I want to take someone's life for the general, I should at least look into the eyes of the criminal and listen to his dying words." In this way, we can understand the importance of human life, and as a general, we must not evade the responsibility of reward and punishment, nor can we kill for pleasure......"

He told Mingyue about a past.

"That day on the Purple Mountain, I talked about the most proud battle in my father's life, but there was one thing that I deliberately omitted and didn't say, and now I don't have to shy away from it."

"At that time, in order to confuse the Qin generals, my father ordered the Shuai Zhao army to leave Handan for thirty miles, so he ordered to set up camp and not advance again, and ordered the army to say: 'Those who are admonished by military advice die.'" At that time, the Qin army was stationed west of Wu'an City, beating drums and shouting to attack the city, and all the roof tiles of Wu'an were shaken by the shouts. There was a military marquis under his father's command who was anxious and suggested that his father first aid Wu'an, but his father couldn't help but say that he would be beheaded! Then the wall was fortified, and it was not possible to stay for twenty-eight days, so that the Qin army relaxed its vigilance, and then there was a strange soldier who rushed three hundred miles to attack Yanhe......"

"That military marquis's intentions are good, and he is even dedicated to the sake of Zhao Guo, and if he changes his usual intentions, his father will listen to his opinions patiently. But at that time, regardless of his arguments, he immediately beheaded him! ”

"At that time, I didn't understand it, I thought it was a stain on my father's battle, but it wasn't until this that I really realized why my father did it."

"Not bad."

Mingyue bowed his head: "In order to confuse General Qin, in order to win the victory, Ma Fujun killed the military marquis who had good intentions but violated the temporary military order, and the military situation was like fire, and he could not be allowed to have the slightest mercy." Today, we are alone outside the territory, and the attitude of the Qi people is unpredictable, in order to calm the hearts of the army, although the father and son have their own hidden intentions, they still have to die. ”

"If you kill one person and shake the three armies, you will kill them! Everything is for better command of the army, otherwise these more than 100 people will not have to run out, bracket, you did the right thing today. ”

Indeed, it is also said in the art of war, thick but not able, love but not ordered, chaos and can't be cured, such as arrogance, not usable. There is no contradiction between loving a pawn and killing a pawn. ”

Zhao Kuo did not deny it, but although both of them chose the most correct approach and kept emphasizing this point, they still couldn't deal with it calmly for a while.

Zhao Kuo shook the wine jug and sighed: "The ancients are like soldiers, but they are also fierce, it is not a lie, I really thought it was simple before......

It was only at this moment that he paid attention to the deep meaning of his father's admonition, the only thing that cannot exist in the barracks is kindness! A good general is not only familiar with the art of war on his back, nor can he only get soldiers to serve him, he must also be indifferent to human life, whether his subordinates are killed by the enemy or by himself, he must be indifferent.

Mingyue was also deeply touched, and the later generations of Wei Yu said a very famous sentence when summing up the art of war, "Those who can kill half of it, Weijia Hainei; Kill the thirteen, and force the princes; Kill the eleven, and order the soldiers. "In this, it is not the enemy who kills, but your own people! Although there is an exaggeration, in the world of the Warring States Period, the military law's disregard for the lives of ordinary soldiers can be seen.

Although there is some resistance, in ancient times, and even in modern times, only strict military discipline can make orders like axes, control like cadres, and create a strong army.

In the melting pot of the army, collectivism is emphasized, and individuals are oppressed by military discipline and military regulations so weak that they are almost non-existent, and they cannot help themselves, becoming small parts of a hideous machine with the purpose of killing people!

After the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the reason why the Qin army was strong was that the military discipline was strict, the soldiers and soldiers sat together, marked them, distinguished them, and used military law to restrain their behavior, even if they fled, there was no place to go, and they could not survive if they lost the battle, so they had to obey the orders of the generals, and they fought bravely to kill the enemy.

The reason why the Zhao army is second only to the Qin army and has produced many famous generals is also due to the strict military discipline laid down from the reform of the Wuling King.

Mingyue couldn't think of any other alternative for the time being, so she could only let this trend continue.

Zhao Kuo's dream is to become a general, then his hands will inevitably be stained with more blood in the future, both enemies and subordinates.

And Mingyue's dream is for him to end this troubled world and start a longer reign than the Qin Dynasty's unification in just over ten years, and it is also destined that the road under his feet will inevitably not be clean, and he must do this kind of awareness.

However, Zhao Kuo's response surprised him.

Unconsciously, Zhao Kuo had already drunk his wine, stood up, and exhaled again: "Although the people died, they didn't notice their difficulties, so that the father and son would rather be fugitives than tell me the truth, this is my dereliction of duty, and the soldiers still don't trust me enough as the main general, so they didn't report and fled." ”

"From tomorrow onwards, I will talk to everyone in the army to find out what is going on in their homes so that they don't have to make any more decisions about fleeing. I just hope that it is not too late to make amends. ”

Isn't this the heart-to-heart talk of the military commissars of later generations? Mingyue's eyes lit up, but she said: "Although this method is good, if you become a captain, a national lieutenant, or even a general, and command thousands of people, you can't do this." ”

"Yes." Zhao Kuo nodded, revealing his white teeth: "Fortunately, I'm just a little centurion now!" ”

……

On the way back to Proton Mansion, sitting in the car, thinking of Zhao Kuo's idea to talk to the soldiers, Mingyue felt that this move was very feasible.

In the Art of War, when Sun Tzu emphasized military discipline and punishment, there is also such a sentence: "If the pawn is not personally attached to the punishment and is punished, he will not accept it, and if he does not obey, it will be difficult to use, and if the pawn has been attached to the pawn and the punishment is not good, it will not be used." Therefore, it is necessary to order it to be written and to use force. ”

It means that there are two kinds of mistakes when punishing, one is that the soldiers have not yet attached themselves to the generals, and the generals will punish rashly, then they will not accept it, and it will be difficult to drive them if they do not obey. Second, if the soldiers are already attached to the generals, but the generals do not enforce military discipline and military law, the soldiers will become arrogant soldiers, and it will be equally difficult to drive them away. Therefore, it is necessary to use military discipline and military law to make them act in unison, so as to win the respect and support of their subordinates.

In other words, it's a slap in the face for a sweet date! Therefore, it is necessary to have a good relationship between the commander and the soldier.

"You can realize this in a short period of time, bracket, you really impress me."

Zhao Kuo's rapid growth since leaving Handan surprised Mingyue, but in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Looking at the tired birds returning to the nest in the sky, he suddenly asked Shu Qi next to him: "Shu Qi, today's matter, the bad guy will do it, and I will be the good guy, am I a little hypocritical and despicable?" ”

Shu Qi was shocked and hurriedly said, "Why did Chang'anjun say this? You are already the best for the generals and soldiers I have ever seen. ”

Mingyue shook her head and didn't speak again.

The next day, he went to the Zishui camp again, and the two heads, which had begun to turn black, were still hanging in the most conspicuous place on the gate, and they would hang until they rotted and were hollowed out by maggots. The skilled fighters of the Qi Kingdom still wanted to come and see the excitement, but when they saw the head and the guards guarding the gate glaring angrily, they retreated stupidly.

In the barracks, Zhao Kuo had already led the soldiers to play a game, and they were happy. This idea was given to him by Mingyue, in addition to being homesick and worrying about his family, some soldiers may also pick quarrels and provoke trouble because of excess energy, and abscond into the world of flowers in Linzi. Keju games can give them something to do and also train a sense of collectivity.

But the soldiers' eyes when they looked at Zhao Kuo, in addition to respect, there was already an extra layer of fear.

Seeing that Zhao Kuo had successfully turned this desertion incident into a good one, Mingyue was a lot more relieved, but that day, Kuang Liang's triumphant appearance still made him a little angry, and he just wanted to make this arrogant man deflated as soon as possible.

It was also a coincidence that when Mingyue returned to the Proton Mansion again, Di Yang, the wine worker, hurriedly came to him, his face full of joy.

"Chang'anjun, good news, the wine and grain are fully ripe, and you can steam the wine today!"
