Chapter 1704: The Threat of the Western Regions States
After the two lieutenants left, Dong Wu's mood was also not calm, he saw an opportunity from the system in the army, an opportunity that belonged to him, although Dong Wu's martial arts were average, but he was not weak in strategy, and the generals in the army needed credit to promote their positions, and there were various ways to get credit, as long as he could apply a strategy to the battle, why not get more.
The next day, Lu Bu summoned important generals among the generals in the Taishou Mansion, as well as Dong Wu and Zhao Lu.
After everyone arrived, Lu Bu appeared in everyone's field of vision, at this time Lu Bu was dressed in military uniform, giving people the feeling that it contained a strong might, the generals in the army noticed this scene, showing excitement, and appeared in the Taishou Mansion, which means that there will be a war, originally thought that after pacifying Liangzhou, he would return to Chang'an.
Fighting in Liangzhou, there are not a few battles experienced, especially in the face of the Qiang soldiers, the soldiers in the army have paid a lot of price, but under such sacrifices, the progress of the soldiers in the army on the battlefield is huge, and the same is the credit they have obtained, for the soldiers in the army, the credit is the most important, they want to get a higher status, want to enjoy more power, they have to enhance their own merits.
Mo said that it was an ordinary soldier, even the five tiger generals, nine Xiao generals and eight generals under the account of King Jin were also extremely enthusiastic about merit, they needed merit to stabilize their current position, the army is not as simple as it seems, how many people are moving towards being able to get more credit to achieve higher achievements, and the way they get credit is the battlefield, as long as the merit is enough, it is also very possible to become these famous generals.
For example, Wei Yan, he is one of the eight generals, and he dreams of becoming one of the five tiger generals, but the current candidate of the five tiger generals has been decided, and if he wants to become the five tiger generals, he can, and he can be promoted if he has enough credit.
Under the stimulation of such a system, the yearning for merit among the officers and soldiers in the army can be imagined, and the most crazy is the ordinary soldiers, because their status in the army is the lowest, and the only way to change this status quo is to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, they join the army, completely out of voluntariness, no one is forced, which is also the obvious difference between the army under Lu Bu and other princes.
When fighting on the battlefield, the soldiers will have a completely different performance.
Especially in terms of ordinary soldiers, the difference is the most obvious, ordinary soldiers are on the battlefield, more often than not, they are drifting with the tide, they don't want to die on the battlefield, unless they are elite soldiers in the army, otherwise, few soldiers are willing to fight the battlefield.
Lu Bu glanced around at everyone and said slowly: "Since the king led the army to fight, he has achieved successive victories, and the Qiang people have been crowned, and now Liangzhou has been pacified, and there may be thieves and bandits in the future, and the defenders around the country will be responsible for this matter, and the biggest problem that Liangzhou is currently facing is the threat from the countries of the Western Regions." ”
The generals in the army stared at Lu Bu with blazing eyes, and it was Lu Bu who led them to victory after war.
Dong Wu's eyes lit up when he saw this, listening to Lu Bu's meaning, he wanted to do something to the countries of the Western Regions, no wonder when discussing such important matters, he and Zhao Lu could occasionally participate in it, the two of them joined the army for a short time, and they were far inferior to the generals under Lu Bu in terms of qualifications, but for the countries of the Western Regions, the two of them had some understanding, and they had dealt with people from the countries of the Western Regions over the years.
"General Dong, tell me about the situation of Wei Liguo." Lu Bu set his sights on Dong Wu.
Dong Wu felt a great encouragement, this is to analyze the situation of Wei Liguo in front of the generals in the army, it is also a good opportunity for him, if he can perform well, it means that his status in the army will be invisibly improved a lot, which is also a credit.
"Now there are about 50,000 people in the country of Weili, including 8,000 people, and the one who led the soldiers and horses before was Na Yanqi, the commander of the Weili country, who was also a famous general in the Western Regions, and won the attention of the king of Yuli. Dong Wudao: "The soldiers of Wei Li Guo are brave and good at fighting, especially on the battlefield, they are extremely crazy"
"What kind of brave and good fighting, it's not for General Zhang He to lead 3,000 people to defeat." One of the generals said disdainfully.
Dong Wu's face turned red and said, "Fang is the last general's speech. ”
Lu Bu waved his hand and said: "We must pay attention to our opponents at all times, only by understanding the opponent better, can we defeat them, the reason why Zhang He was able to defeat the 7,000 soldiers and horses of Wei Li Guo with 3,000 men is largely because the soldiers of Wei Li Guo were negligent in taking precautions, and they did not expect that our army would dare to go out of the customs to fight with them at such a time." ”
Dong Wu glanced at Lu Bu gratefully, and explained to himself in front of the generals in the army, so that he had a feeling of being valued, not to mention anything else, this kind of attention made him extremely useful, just took refuge in Lu Bu, Dong Wu was in a sensitive period, and it was very likely that he would feel anxious because of the unintentional words of the generals in the army.
"My lord, although the strength of the Wei Li Kingdom is not large, the people under its rule cannot be ignored, and the strength of the Wei Li Kingdom can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy when fighting with their people." Dong Wu reminded.
Lu Bu bowed his head slightly and said: "Wei Li Guo covets the Yumen Pass, and wants to seize the Yumen Pass when Dunhuang is in danger, originally the Wei Li Kingdom was a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, but now it is rampant to such a point, if it can't be destroyed, what majesty does this king have in the Western Regions." ”
The generals in the field responded in unison, and they did not have the slightest pressure on the countries of the Western Regions, Zhang He led 3,000 soldiers and horses to defeat the 7,000 soldiers and horses of Wei Li Kingdom, although the strength of their subordinates was not as good as the wolf horse, but in terms of combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
For a while, the generals in the army asked for battle, and depending on the situation, they all had to quarrel.
Seeing all this, Dong Wu was surprised again, this is going to the battlefield, not any benefit to take, the generals in the army are excited in the face of this situation, it really makes him a little puzzled, although Wei Liguo's army was defeated, it did not lose too much, and Wei Li Guo has a city to defend, although this city is dilapidated in the eyes of the Han people, it can still block the attack of the Han army.
Lu Budao: "This king has not yet gone to the countries of the Western Regions, this time to attack the country of Wei Li, this king will lead the soldiers and horses to go, Zhao Yun, Pang Tong stationed in Liangzhou, if you find that there are small people to make a rebellion, you don't need to be soft, you can kill it directly, and at the same time divide the fields in Zhangye, Wuwei, Dunhuang, and Jiuquan counties, and get all the fields in the hands of the family back, and the compensation will be taken by the state pastor. ”
