There are four passes in the south of Luoyang.

One of them is Yique Pass, that is, the mouth of Longmen Mountain and Xiangshan in the south of Luoyang, in the meantime the valley is connected, the two mountains are sandwiched, the Yi River flows through it, it is Luoyang to the south, Ru Ying must go north, the liberation of Luoyang in later generations, is also the first to take Yique, and then capture Luoyang, there is a magnificent and simple arch bridge built here, even the two mountains are one.

The second is Guangcheng Pass, located in the south of Guangcheng Yuan placed by Han Guangwu, so it is named, the world is called "two mountains and one river", its northeast has Changworm Mountain, Niangniang Mountain, Monk Mountain, Baiyun Mountain, Panlong Mountain, southwest has Dama Mountain, Dahuling, since ancient times it is the fortress leading to Jingchu, near Guangcheng Pass, there is Guangchengze, four hundred miles around, the water flows out of Langgao Mountain, flows into Rushui in the southeast, goes north to Jingluo from Jingxiang, here is the place that must pass.

The third is the big valley pass, it is the valley between Songshan Mountain and Longmen Mountain, the valley is 30 miles deep, the two sides of the deep valley, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the stream is murmuring, the peaks are cut up, the shrubs are thick, this valley is a gateway in front of the capital city of Luoyang. There are Niuxin Mountain, Niuzui Mountain, Laoyangpo, Crooked Mouth Mountain, Dafeng Mountain, etc., the peaks and peaks are undulating, and the situation is natural. During the war, it can ambush heavy troops and cut off north-south communications, which is a battlefield for all generations of soldiers to fight.

The fourth is the Yuyuan Pass, at the junction of Yanshi and Dengfeng, it is the shortcut to Xu, Chen from Luoyang, the pass is on the Eling Mountain, Shao Room Mountain, the road is dangerous, there are 12 curves, the loop is circling, it will go back, so it is called the Yuanyuan Pass.

There are these four dangerous passes, plus Hao Zhao, who is good at defense, leads 8,000 Luoyang soldiers to guard each pass respectively, Wen Ping Wenyang is in front, Li Yanzhen is in the back, and Luoyang should ensure that nothing goes wrong.

After all, Liu Biao had 300,000 horses, and if he sent 200,000 troops to come, it would still be a little difficult to resist, so Wei Yan hired Wen Wen as the general of Jingzhou, and led 20,000 horses from his headquarters to Nanyang County, and cooperated with Jingzhou to assassinate Shi Deng Zhi to attack instead of defend, and harass Liu Biao's army in Nanyang County.

……

At this time, Wei Yan was rectifying military discipline.

Because of a bug in the seed artifact system, a character from the non-Three Kingdoms period appeared, Wei Zheng.

Moreover, Wei Zheng was actually Wei Yan's brother, who defected from Cao Cao and claimed to reorganize the military discipline for Wei Yan.

And the system, as a balance, gave Cao Cao a clan brother, Cao Bin!

Cao Bin was the nephew of the concubine Zhang of the Later Zhou Taizu Guo Wei. Later Zhou Shizong, he was sent to envoy Wu Yue, tired of officials to the introduction of envoys. Cao Bin was strict in governing the army, especially military discipline, and was trusted by Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and made great contributions in the unification war of the Northern Song Dynasty. In the second year of Qiande, he participated in the destruction of Houshu, and was known for not killing indiscriminately, and was promoted to the envoy of the Southern Court of Xuanhui. In the seventh year, Kaibao led 100,000 sailors and troops to defeat the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Kejinling in the following year. He also decided to attack the Northern Han and Liao, and promoted the privy envoy with merit.

A young official under Cao Bin broke the law, and the case has been verified, but Cao Bin just turned a blind eye to this matter, turned a blind eye, ignored it, and looked like he couldn't get rid of it. Because Cao Bin has always enforced the law strictly, he is extremely strict with his subordinates, and he never condones his subordinates, so everyone feels strange about this matter and doesn't understand why Cao Bin is a peacemaker in this matter. However, one day a year later, Cao Bin suddenly ordered the subordinate to be arrested and beaten dozens of times, saying that this was a punishment for the crime he committed last year. The crowd was even more puzzled and asked him, "Since this person committed a crime a year ago, and it was found out at that time, why didn't he deal with it at that time, and waited a year before punishing him?" Cao Bin explained: "A year ago, when this person's crime was just verified, I learned that he had just married his daughter-in-law, if he was punished at that time and beat him, his parents would definitely think that the new daughter-in-law would be a husband, and then they would scold the new daughter-in-law early and beat him late, and the new daughter-in-law would also feel that her life was not good, and she would have no face to see people, and maybe something unexpected would happen, and she couldn't say." That's why I deliberately left this case for a year before punishing it! When everyone heard this, they all expressed their admiration for Cao Bin and praised him for his good intentions in enforcing the law with warmth.

Cao Cao appointed Cao Bin to preside over Cao Jun's military law!

Wei Yan asked the seed artifact elf Kongkong to help him verify, and it was true, Wei Zheng was indeed his clan brother!

Moreover, Wei Zheng's five dimensions are very high, 92 in dominance, 72 in force, 90 in intelligence, 88 in politics, and 80 in charisma!

Wei Yan could only pinch his nose and recognize this clan brother.

After Wei Zheng came, he walked all over the various military camps of the Wei army within a few days, wearing armor, he was like a pawn, no one put this little white face in his eyes, he just watched, did not express any opinions, and did not interfere with normal military training.

After looking at it for several days, Wei Zheng came to the Chinese military tent and told Wei Yan what he had observed: "Big brother, your current great cause is becoming more and more prosperous, and the number of soldiers under your command is increasing day by day, but the sources of these soldiers under your command are very mixed, including the Yellow Turban Army, the White Bo Army, the Black Mountain Army, the Hun Army, and the Family's Private Army, so many soldiers from different places are mixed together, and it is difficult to strictly organize military discipline.

Big brother, you are cruel to the enemy, but your subordinates are not strict, and the discipline is not clear, at the same time, big brother, you have rewards but no punishment, and the soldiers below are virtuous and not afraid of the big brother. Wei Zhenzi once said, 'The pawn is more afraid of the general than the enemy, and the pawn is more afraid of the enemy than the general's defeat!' 'It's okay for such a soldier to follow his eldest brother to fight a tailwind war, but once the war is unfavorable, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to support it, because there is no strict military discipline in the Wei army! ”

"The one who fears the enemy wins, and the one who fears the enemy more than the general loses!" Wei Yan repeated this sentence silently several times, and his heart suddenly became enlightened, he had always felt that his Wei army lacked one thing, which turned out to be strict military discipline.

The reason why the Wei army has not made any major incidents so far is completely supported by Wei Yan's personal charm and cohesion, as well as the continuous propaganda of the Xuanfu battalion, and the continuous brainwashing of soldiers at all levels by joining the army at all levels.

"The eldest brother is too lenient, but I never thought that there are very few subordinates who are really brave and loyal and willing to think about the hegemony of the eldest brother, most of them are for their own interests, since they all have their own thoughts, why should you be too soft-hearted, big brother, kill when you should kill, punish when you should be punished, you must not be tolerated, when you should be powerful, you must be powerful, and a group of harmony is not able to create an invincible hero. Big brother, please let me temporarily take the post of military integrity, and correct the military discipline of the whole army! ”

After hearing this, Wei Yan said: "Xuan Cheng, you are a scribe, I am going to train you to be the general staff in the future, how can you succumb to a low-ranking position now to manage the trivial affairs of the army?" ”

Wei Zheng replied: "Big brother, I don't agree with what you said. The reason why I traveled thousands of miles to join my eldest brother was not to support my wife and children, but to help the world and save the people. Now it's like we're in the same boat, about to cross the ocean, and if anything goes wrong, we're all going to fail, so I'm not just planning for you, big brother, I'm planning for myself! ”

Wei Yan knew Wei Zheng's kindness, but he was worried, just smiled and didn't say a word.

Seeing Wei Yan's acquiescence, Wei Zheng walked out of the tent, took off his civilian clothes, put on armor, held Wei Yan's Yitian sword, summoned all the generals to come, announced that he had received the post of Wei Junzheng, and wanted to supervise the military law of the whole army.

As soon as the news that Wei Zheng was going to be regarded as a clan brother by Wei Yan spread throughout the Wei army, even if Wei Zheng did not have any qualifications and prestige now, the generals in the army looked at Wei Yan and were in awe of Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng was prepared to use the strict military law recorded in the "Wei Xuanzi" as the military law of the Wei army.

Wei Yan hadn't read "Wei Yanzi" before, so he took "Wei Yanzi" from Wei Zheng and read it carefully, and threw the book on the ground with a snap: "Xuan Cheng, the military law here is too strict!" ”

This "Wei Xuanzi" advocates the use of heavy punishment to maintain battlefield and army discipline, and even says: "Those who use soldiers well can kill half of the soldiers; The second is to kill the tithe, and the next to kill the eleventh. Those who can kill half of it, Weigahaine; Kill the three of them, and add the princes; Kill the eleventh of them, and order the soldiers. ”

Seeing this, Wei Yan didn't want to read it anymore, at least one tenth of the soldiers had to be killed, so that the army could be disciplined and forbidden? ! Isn't that? If you look at it in detail, almost every violation of military law is killing, killing, killing!

Wei Yan very much disagreed with such a brutal killing of Liwei.

Wei Zheng saw Wei Yan throw "Wei Xuanzi" on the ground, frowned, and was very dissatisfied: "Big brother, after a thousand years, Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Sima Suijian, Han Xin, Zhou Yafu, and Zhao Chongguo all manage the army like this and govern the army strictly, what's wrong?!" ”

"It's not that I disagree with the strict management of the army, I just think that according to the captain's method, will it be too much to suppress morale and hurt the morale of the army, in fact, many crimes do not have to be killed at every turn!"

Wei Yan remembered the national hero Qi Jiguang of later generations, who was known for training elite soldiers, but he did not blindly advocate heavy punishment. Qi Jiguang believed that the army should be "severely rewarded and punished", but for the general mistakes of soldiers in peacetime, he asked for warnings for first offenses and repeat offenses, and only those who committed three offenses should be severely punished. The beating of the military stick shall be measured at five times, depending on the increase or decrease of the circumstances. To carry out the seriousness of the beating, it is necessary to gather the whole team, explain the reasons, and give heavy beatings, without excessive beatings. Qi Jiguang did not kill everything so much, and it did not affect his army to become a rare elite soldier in the world.

Besides, the People's Liberation Army of later generations did not kill people at every turn in the "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention", but it still became an army with the best military discipline in history.

Wei Zheng asked, "What does Big Brother mean?" ”

"Some of the things in the Wei Gang can be kept." Wei Yan picked up the book again, pointed to the law on it and said to Wei Zheng: "This "Decree of the Soldiers" can be retained, these several decrees prohibiting escape can be retained, and those who lead more than 1,000 officers to abandon the city and surrender or flee from the battle are national thieves, and they will be executed by themselves, and their corpses will be displayed to the public, and their families will be confiscated into the official palace as slaves, and their ancestral graves will be excavated; An officer who leads more than 100 people to commit such a behavior is a thief, and he will also be executed or his house raided. ”

When telling Wei Zheng, Wei Yan reviewed Wei Zhenzi again, and suddenly found that the punishment was only a little heavier, and the specific regulations were still relatively comprehensive, so he ordered: "In fact, most of the laws and regulations in this can be retained, but the punishment of killing at every turn should be changed slightly, and changed to a military stick punishment, and the guilt in this is divided into misdemeanors and felons, if there is a felony, it will be beheaded immediately, if there is a misdemeanor, the first time it will be punished with fifty military sticks, and the second time it will be beheaded to show the public!" ”

Wei Zheng asked, "What is a misdemeanor?" What is a felony? ”

Wei Yan thought for a while: "Soldiers drink and fight, destroy people's fields and houses, steal property, like this, all those who have not been on the battlefield and have no direct impact on the war can be measured as misdemeanors, and serious crimes include crimes such as not obeying commands, fearing the enemy, and running away, most of which are on the battlefield and will affect the battle situation, and they are all unforgivable." ”

Wei Zheng wrote down everything Wei Yan said, nodded and said: "Actually, I also have some opinions about Wei Yanzi, the sentence is too heavy, and the most fundamental problem is that it cannot be executed, and it is meaningless to keep it as a dead letter, but it will damage the majesty of military law." The eldest brother divided this crime into a felony and a misdemeanor, and the sentence was appropriate, so that the military law could be carried out, so that the soldiers were in awe. ”

Wei Yan summoned the middle and senior generals of the army to discuss the matter.

Wei Yanxian said his worries about the military discipline of the Wei army: "Everyone, now our great cause is flourishing, and the number of soldiers of the Wei army is increasing day by day, but the sources of these soldiers are very mixed, so many soldiers from different places are mixed together, and the military discipline is not strict. 'If we blindly indulge, it is okay for the soldiers of the Wei army to follow us to fight a good war, once the war is unfavorable, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to support it, I don't know what you think of this problem? ”

The marching commander Shi Lusu nodded and said: "I have the same worries as the lord, in the last year's war, because the lord planned properly, we were smooth, and the enemy army was easily defeated, if the enemy did not fall into our strategy, but we fell into the enemy's strategy, how will our Wei army respond, I am not optimistic, strict military discipline, imminent." ”

Marching Sima Chen Zhi said: "My lord, my lord has been expanding his troops very quickly recently, and the Wei army has a large number of soldiers, auxiliaries, field guards, and county soldiers, and they can keep up with it in training, but they are only a little inferior in the military discipline that is forbidden by the order, and it is difficult to call it a first-class elite soldier in the world. ”

General Xu Shu of the General Staff and the Central Army Division also said: "The lord did not set up a military discipline in the army before, and handed over the responsibility of rectifying military discipline to the army at all levels, I think it is very inappropriate, because in addition to the counselor military aircraft, the more important duty of the army is to communicate with the officers and soldiers at all levels to ensure that their thoughts are consistent with the lord, which requires the army at all levels to be smiling and approachable, but the rectification of military discipline requires an iron face and selflessness, and the six relatives do not recognize, which is very contradictory, and all levels of the army are at a loss. Xuan Chengti is right, that is, military officials at all levels should be set up from top to bottom, and they should be in charge of rectifying military discipline. ”
