At that time, the army was mostly composed of a group of people with mixed qualities and different ideas. However, in order to develop from a "desperate and indulgent outlaw in all directions" to a real army that "obeys orders and teaches and does not dare to disobey it," it is necessary to resolutely temper the ability of the soldiers to resist pressure and the perseverance of not giving up until the goal is achieved, and it is still more necessary to carry out the duty of the soldiers to "obey orders and discipline like a mountain."

No matter what the commander tells you to do, no matter how difficult it is for you to do it, you just need absolute obedience - absolute obedience means that there are no excuses, and you can only focus on how to complete the task. Therefore, good soldiers do not make excuses, and good generals do not listen to excuses. Although this may seem to be brutal and rigid, once a truly brutal war comes, only this kind of army with one heart and one heart can guarantee victory.

The two thousand soldiers were shocked and hurriedly responded in unison. In the past, under Liu Yao's command, although Liu Yao was also known as a strict ruler of the army, it was also compared to other generals of the Xiongnu Han State who were ravaging like bandits, and the strictness was only reflected in the battle array. And Liu Yao himself is a Huns, who has been attacking and fighting endlessly for many years, and he himself also has a murderous and indulgent temperament, acquiescing and even conniving at his subordinates to loot, slaughter cities, etc., which happens from time to time.

But I didn't expect that this newly rising general in the Han Jin army, which had been repeatedly defeated by his subordinates, was strict, and it seems that he should pay special attention in the future.

At this point, Fan Sheng, as the highest officer of the imperial court soldiers present, was no longer indifferent. Seeing that the rain began to lighten, he gritted his teeth, threw away his umbrella, and walked to Gao Yue's side in a few steps.

"All the recruits and veterans present are listening! General Gao set an example with good intentions and gave us profound teachings, and after that, you should always keep military discipline in mind, if there is such negligence again, once it is found out, it will not be tolerated! ”

With his shouting, the Jin soldiers also felt ashamed, busily boosted their morale, stood up in unison, and their mental outlook was refreshed.

Fan Sheng nodded, and said to Gao Yue again: "General Gao, I deeply feel the feelings of persuasion, but why should the general be under the wind and rain and suffer himself like this." ”

Gao Yue's eyes were sharp, he looked at Fan Sheng, and said, "Originally, I could have taken care of myself and sheltered from the rain." But asking his subordinates to suffer, the coach categorically did not turn a blind eye to the reason for enjoying himself! I have been taught by my ancestors and never dare to forget the words of loving soldiers like sons and sharing weal and woe. ”

When the soldiers on and off the field heard these words, they were very moved. Such a simple truth, everyone will say, and it is easy to say, but throughout the ages, there have been many Shangguan who drink the blood of soldiers and suck the marrow of soldiers, and there are a few people who can truly love soldiers like children! I don't know that a general has achieved a thousand bones, and only the famous kings and generals who have been amazed are recorded in history, the thousands of soldiers with unknown surnames, and the most ordinary soldiers who have piled up all kinds of famous deeds with their lives and shouts, but they are all buried in the vast sea of books.

Lei Erren listened to it in his heart, and really felt extremely warm and affectionate, and he thought that the lord was so benevolent and righteous, how could there be any reason not to work for him, and now he was so motionless for a few hours, and he was willing to do it.

Fan Sheng sighed: "At the beginning, Xia Guan saw that the general could defeat tens of thousands of strong enemies with only 3,000 people, although he admired it, he was always puzzled in his heart. Today, when I saw the general's style of governing the army, I understood that the same soldier, in the hands of the general, would have a different combat effectiveness and be uniformed. ”

Gao Yue's face softened slightly, and he hugged his fist at Fan Sheng and said: "Strict military discipline and equal treatment can be made into a mighty and victorious army." General Fan, Gao encourages you. ”

After the ceremony of incorporation and decommissioning, the rain also became noticeably lighter. Gao Yue beckoned to Lei Qizhi and Zhou Panlong, who were dripping with water, and said warmly: "I saw that the military discipline was sloppy, so I had to use the two of you to give everyone a demonstration and warning. ”

Hearing him say this, not only Zhou Panlong, but even Lei Qizhi was also flattered, and the two of them didn't even have time to wipe off the rain on their faces, so they hurriedly thanked him, and only said that if it rained, it was a sword mountain and a sea of fire, but it was just a word from the lord.

Looking at the two favorite generals, Gao Yue's daily calm and sharp gaze also revealed warmth and warmth at this moment. He nodded appreciatively, paused slightly, and then whispered: "Surrender to the new appendage, there is always instability in people's hearts." And they were all Liu Yao's subordinates in the past, which was extraordinary, and they had to be extra vigilant during this time. From now on, you two don't have to follow me all the time, restrain the soldiers, and go to our army camp outside the city, remember, you two must live in harmony, and work together to control the order of the upper and lower levels, and do not make mistakes. If you have any questions, you can always report to me, and go ahead. ”

The two of them were about to go, Gao Yue thought about it and shouted, "Wait." After the two of you return to the barracks, the first thing is to quickly change into clean clothes, and then drink a bowl of ginger soup to dispel the cold, this is an order, and it cannot be violated! ”

Lei and Zhou solemnly saluted, and Gao Yue watched the two of them stride away. Fan Sheng stepped forward and said: "General Gao, the lower official originally wanted to talk more freely with the general, but he was going to turn around immediately, and report the delivery procedures with the Grand Governor of Koji and Captain Suo. General Gao, I have to ask you to take care of yourself first, and then ask the general for more advice when you have free time. ”

Fan Sheng stuffed the bamboo umbrella into Gao Yue's hand anyway, but Gao Yue couldn't resist it, so he accepted it after thanking him. He also asked Fan Sheng to go to work on official business, so he didn't have to take care of himself, so he said that he would go back to the post house first, and the two hugged their fists to say goodbye. Gao Yue looked at the sky, and secretly said that this rain will really pick the time if it doesn't fall early or late. The drizzling rain at the moment is even more unpleasant, his clothes are soaked anyway, and he thinks that it doesn't matter if he has an umbrella or not, but it is very uncomfortable to stick to the wet, so he should go back and pick it up first.

Out of the school field, Gao Yue carried the umbrella upside down, and strode back. Just now a rain fell urgently, the road was wet, there were small puddles in some places, and many pedestrians were wet like Gao Yue, but they all held their heads in the rain and trotted all the way, and the stagnant water that was trampled on in a hurry splashed everywhere, and it attracted a chaotic complaint, and the street seemed to be full of vitality.

"Hey, that person obviously has an umbrella but doesn't play it, so he has to get drenched, it's weird."

"Young people nowadays don't know what they're thinking."

Breathing in the fresh and moist air, some dry hearts seem to be warmer. The chatter on the side of the road occasionally caught my ears, and I only laughed at myself. Although Gao Yue's pace did not slow down, but his face was much soothed, he looked around casually with appreciative eyes, and couldn't help but think that although the war was temporarily extinguished, the future was still dangerous, but the people of Li were living tenaciously in the cracks of this difficult situation, which not only made people pity but also sighed.

After turning the corner, I only walked two steps away, but I heard someone calling: "Gao Dudu, Gao Gongzi!" Gao Yue looked at the sound in surprise, and there was a familiar face on the side of the road, and his beautiful face was full of energy.

"Ah...... It's you, Miss Yuan! ”

The one who called him was Yuan Zheng, who was hiding from the rain under the eaves of the street. Yuan Zheng is sixteen years old, lively and jumpy, can't stay at home, today is bringing two maids, to go to a friend's house to play, but in the street coincided with heavy rain, she slipped out of the door where to think of bringing an umbrella, but only to find an eaves to avoid before talking. The rain was falling rapidly, and although it was not heavy now, the tail had not yet been cleaned up, ticking, and she was standing impatiently, and was hesitating whether to wait a little longer, or to trot out, when she saw Gao Yue turning from the corner of the street.

We will meet again. Yuan Zheng's smile rippled with the contours of the corners of his mouth, and his face was full of smiles in an instant, undisguised. She jumped up and down and kept beckoning: "Come on, come here." ”

This is really a girl with a familiar nature. Gao Yue smiled and walked over. The two maids behind Yuan Zheng hurriedly saluted, and Gao Yue was about to thank him, but Yuan Zheng had already ignored Gao Yue's wet clothes, grabbed his sleeve, and said with handsome eyes: "The slave family said, don't call you a general, the slave family will call you Gao Gongzi, you won't mind, right?" ”

"Huh...... Miss Yuan's personality is really hearty and lively, I won't mind. ”

"I knew you wouldn't be angry." Yuan Zheng's face was full of spring, and he opened his mouth wide again, and hurriedly covered it with his white and delicate hands, and said in surprise: "Why do you look like this?" ”

"Shicai went to the school with General Fan to inspect the soldiers, I am the main general, and it is not good to be in the ......"

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Zheng interrupted him and said: "Since you are the main general, you should take shelter from the rain in time, General Fan is really, where is the reason to let you get wet." ”

With such a young lady of a family who seems to have been well-dressed and pampered in the past, it is useless to talk about what to lead by example and so on. Gao Yue smiled and changed the topic: "Miss Yuan has something to do when she goes out, why is she sheltering from the rain here." ”

Yuan Zheng rolled his blackberry-like eyes, smiled mysteriously, and asked rhetorically, "Where are you going?" Oh, back to the inn? Just right, I'm on the way with you. In fact, the friend's house she wants to visit, and the post house where Gao Yue lives, are really far from each other, but Yuan Zheng has already made plans in her heart, and her friend's house is not going to go later.

Seeing that Yuan Zheng made it clear that he wanted to go all the way with him, Gao Yue opened the umbrella, and it was not good to let the girl's family get in the rain for no reason. Yuan Zheng jumped in like a deer, raised his bright face, looked straight at Gao Yue with a pair of charming eyes, and said with a smile: "Let's go." ”

At close range, Yuan Zheng's slightly open, bright red lips like roses are moist and full, and the plump flesh is very attractive. Gao Yue didn't dare to look at it more, so he hurriedly moved his gaze and said, "This ...... How do you arrange the two sisters around the girl? ”

Yuan Zheng looked back and instructed the two maids: "You can take shelter here for a while, and when the rain stops, you will go back to the house first, and you won't have to look for me." The two maids laughed secretly in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces, so they hurriedly lowered their heads and whispered in agreement.
