Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Lu Su said that he would relieve the siege: "In fact, there are other reasons for the lack of tactical training in the army, one is that combat training can be done in the barracks and schools, and it can be disbanded after one or two hours of training a day. However, if you go to the field for tactical training, the time spent is almost a whole day, so the physical consumption of soldiers is no different from that in wartime, and in wartime soldiers need three meals a day to maintain physical strength, which is also a great pressure on our food consumption, especially since we have nearly 200,000 troops in General Zuo's Mansion, if they are all three meals a day, I am afraid that they cannot afford it; The second is that our military sources all come from military service, and the Han law stipulates that every Han citizen must serve in the military for two years in his life, and if he can do a good job in combat training within two years, he already belongs to elite soldiers, and if he adds tactical training, then they don't have to do anything else in the past two years. ”

Lu Su explained the problem from another angle, which gave Yuan Yao a new understanding of the soldiers of this era, so he asked again: "Two years of military service is too little, why not add one year?" ”

"This ......" Lu Su said with some embarrassment: "No one wants to do three years of work without income, which will kill you at any time, two years is a law regulation, and it is also a practice that has only been formed in China for a thousand years, and if you impose another year, you may have to mutiny." ”

Yuan Yao was startled and said, "No income!" Are you saying that our soldiers are all free? ”

Lu Su was stunned and said, "Of course, has the lord not known all along?" ”

"I don't give a penny, I don't have a grain of food?" Yuan Yao didn't seem to hear Lu Su's question, but continued to ask in surprise.

Lu Su shook his head and said: "No, this is the obligation of the common people, and it has been the case in China for thousands of years. ”

Yuan Yao was dumbfounded, and suddenly felt panicked on his face, he found that he had led soldiers for almost three months, and he didn't even have the most basic common sense, and he opened his mouth to say stupid things like "why don't you add another year", which is different from Emperor Jin Hui's classic "why don't you eat minced meat".

Just after the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin at the end of the Han Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin, the son of Emperor Sima Yan of Jin Wu, there was a famine one year, and the people had no food to eat, only digging grass roots and eating Guanyin soil, and many people starved to death. The news was quickly reported to the palace, and Emperor Jin Hui was puzzled after listening to the minister's report while sitting on a high throne. The "kind" Emperor Jin Hui wanted to do something for his people, and after thinking about it, he finally realized a "solution": "The people have no corn to satisfy their hunger, why don't they eat minced meat?" ”

The reason why Yuan Yao can say really stupid things is because he didn't expect this kind of thing in this world, according to his worldview, working and receiving wages is the most basic principle of order, how can anyone be willing to carry their heads to give people free soldiers This kind of thing happens, and it is still a troubled time, and he will go to the battlefield at any time, even Yuan Yao's own memory of the Han Dynasty has never had the opportunity to contact such a low-level thing, he knows that the Han Dynasty is a compulsory military system, but he doesn't know that the obligation is so thorough, what kind of subsidy and retirement money will the compulsory soldiers of later generations have, Compared to this, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty were a little too easy to speak.

Lu Su saw that Yuan Yao's face was flushed and his face was full of shame, and he couldn't help but explain: "There is no military salary within two years of compulsory military service, but there are still rewards for meritorious service, such as exchanging the enemy's head for money, and there are some illegal incomes, such as looting or something, so some generals often indulge soldiers in looting in order to maintain the morale of soldiers, especially after high-pressure battles such as siege warfare, but ordinary soldiers will still choose to return to their hometowns after serving two years of military service. They see an opportunity to get ahead, maybe they will stay in the army, and we mainly rely on these people to control the army. ”

It is no wonder that the Three Kingdoms Campaign often occurs in the first battle of the collapse, Yuan Yao originally thought that it was the reason for the lack of training, but now it seems that it is not so simple at all.

Compare your heart to your heart, if Yuan Yao is this kind of soldier who has no money and no life for others, he will definitely be able to run and run, and the ghost will give you all his life! But this kind of question Yuan Yao will not ask it, and before he reshapes his worldview, he is not going to talk nonsense with self-righteousness, because the facts are in front of him, and he thinks that the impossible thing reality exists, and the soldiers of the Han Dynasty are willing to sell their lives without money, what can you do.

Yuan Yao now knew that the entire magnificent Three Kingdoms turned out to be an epic myth fought desperately by these soldiers who didn't want money and didn't want their lives! But most of the people who are famous in this epic are those who don't have to work hard and can still get paid, Yuan Yao really can't figure out why these soldiers are so obedient, but he has already made a decision in his heart, that is, to find a way to change the treatment of these people, the world is too unfair to them! He didn't dare to say that he could change their fate or go down in history or something, but at least he had to find a way to let them dedicate their lives to writing an epic while still being able to support their families and glorify a lifetime.

"Sweat more in peacetime, shed less blood in wartime. From today onwards, the soldiers' meals will be changed to three meals a day, and tactical training will be strengthened as planned, so as to minimize unnecessary casualties among soldiers in wartime. If anyone lets our soldiers die too badly, I will let him become a small soldier and feel what it feels like to have his life in the hands of others. ”

Yuan Yao's tone made people feel a hint of tragedy, and everyone knew that he was serious, so they all stopped talking nonsense and bowed to promises.

Yuan Yao rarely gave mandatory orders, but this time there was no way, because he knew that this kind of injustice to ordinary soldiers was probably only something he could experience, and the positions and identities of everyone here were unlikely to consider the problem from the perspective of the people at the bottom, plus the level of civilization in this era was still slightly low, and it could not be compared with the human rights era two thousand years later.

You don't see the pastoral word of "state herdsman", and there is no difference between the pastoral word of "herdsman" who raises cattle and horses!

Perhaps in the eyes of the superiors of this era, there is no difference between the common people and pigs, horses, cattle and sheep, otherwise how dare the governor of a state name it with the word herd, is it difficult to change the word? Isn't the word Che of the title of Marquis changed to Liehou because of the name of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, why not change the word for the sake of tens of millions of people?

Mainly because there is no such concept and consciousness in this era, there are some things that Yuan Yao cannot communicate with others, so he can only choose to give a mandatory order, this is a generation gap, and it is a two-thousand-year generation gap, which cannot be made up by language.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yao suddenly felt a little bored, so he got up and said to everyone: "It's not early, I won't accompany you, everyone hurry up and eat, and after eating, the training work will be assigned according to their respective duties, and they will be handed over to their subordinates for training tomorrow." You will come here tomorrow to make a plan for the decisive battle of defending Liu Xuan's army, and in the future, 'Cao Cao who joined the army in wartime' will act according to today's rules. ”

After speaking, Yuan Yao led Chen Wu outside.

"No. Congratulations to the lord (general)! And they stood up to see each other off.
