Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Unfortunate Soldier

The heads of the people flying in mid-air were like punctured balloons, spinning and rolling, and warm blood was thrown in all directions.

The moment before the head landed, Liu Feng's ape arm stretched out to catch it easily, the tiger palm grabbed the messy hair, carried the head and turned around and ran back to the high ground, the head in his hand was like a leaky bucket, and the blood spurting out of the broken strength of the brush dragged out a long red ribbon.

Liu Feng held up the miserable human head and shouted: "Whoever dares to move again will end up like him." ”

The bloody human head was clearly described in his eyes under the illumination of the remnant sun, and every soldier he saw was moved.

Under the shock of such slaughter, the entire northern camp soon fell into a deathly silence, and no one dared to take a step without permission, and in the large camp, in addition to the whirring sound of wind and fire, only the sound of the heavy tense breathing of the soldiers of the whole battalion was poured into the ears.

Liu Feng untied the silver spear, stabbed the human head like a sugar gourd, and inserted it upside down on the high platform as a deterrent, and then slapped the horse and ran towards Liu Qi on the high platform.

"Brother, the chaos has subsided, you quickly order the officers at all levels to count the soldiers, drive all the soldiers into the camp, and then find a way to find out the seditions behind the scenes."

Liu Qi woke up from the exclamation, and hurriedly followed Liu Feng's instructions to give orders, and the soldiers who were fixed in place were confiscated by officers at all levels, and then obediently entered the barracks one by one.

Looking at the scene of returning to normal, Liu Qi's hanging heart finally let go, and he couldn't help but ask Liu Feng with admiration: "Ah Feng, how could you think of this trick of not letting the soldiers move, it's really amazing." ”

Liu Feng smiled: "Actually, it's very simple. The camp was full of voices of rebellion, but there was no fighting, so I thought how could a battalion of soldiers try to rebel, most of them were a handful of people who were in contact with foreign enemies and deliberately fanned the flames and instigated chaos. Therefore, as long as the soldiers are strictly ordered not to move, the small number of traitors will naturally leak out. ”

Liu Qi nodded slightly, but sighed again: "Even so, Kenuo big camp, your shout may not be heard by everyone in time, the soldier just now may not be a traitor, just killing him without interrogation, it seems that it is a bit too ruthless." ”

Liu Feng shook his head and sighed: "Brother, it's good for you to be kind and love the soldiers, but it also depends on the situation." The Art of War: If the pawn is punished without his own person, he will not accept it, and it will be difficult to use if he does not accept it; If the pawn has been attached to the family and the punishment is not good, it is not available. The more you treat this kind of subordinate soldiers, the more severe you must use them, otherwise you will only connive at the non-compliance with military discipline. ”

Liu Feng didn't think much about it, and blurted out a big truth, Liu Qi couldn't help but look strange when he heard it: "Ah Feng, I don't know who taught you the two tips on the art of war just now, is it Mr. Xu?" ”

"This ...... is what is said in "Sun Tzu", and I also found it casually in my brother's study. Liu Feng was also a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that he had made some achievements in the past few days of hard study, and now he was able to adapt to the situation and connect the knowledge he had just learned with reality, it seems that he really has a little talent for managing the army.

After Liu Qi asked, Liu Feng suddenly remembered the note, and immediately wanted to ask who the owner of the note was, but at this moment, several horsemen and horses galloped in, and the leader was Xu Shu.

"Zide Gongzi, what happened, why did Beiying suddenly catch fire, I came all the way, and the nearby markets were also in chaos, and they all said that Cao Jun had entered the city." Xu Shuhu asked suspiciously, he was fully armed, and he also had an extra steel gun in his hand, as if he was ready to fight.

"It may be that some of the Cao soldiers who infiltrated the city annihilated the rebellion, but they have been suppressed by Ah Feng, and now it's okay, Mr. Yuan Zhi doesn't have to worry."

When he answered, Liu Qi's expression was a little embarrassed. It is no wonder that Liu Qi's 3,000 elite soldiers are stationed in the north camp, and he has boasted in front of Xu Shu many times, saying that his 3,000 soldiers and horses are all loyal and brave, enough to match Cao Ying's elite northern army. And now, the elite who made him proud was only instigated by a few enemies to turn into a pot of porridge, and it was reasonable for him to feel that he couldn't hold his face.

Xu Shu glanced at Liu Feng, and there seemed to be a bit of surprise in his fleeting eyes, obviously, Liu Qi's sentence "has been suppressed by Ah Feng's bullet" made this Liu Bei's No. 2 strategist feel a little surprised.

"That's good, that's good." Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

Several people returned to Liu Qi's tent, Xu Shu put the helmet on the case, and said bluntly: "With all due respect, the eldest prince, your subordinates are really lacking in capable generals, otherwise the military discipline would not be so lax, and it would be a mess as soon as it was instigated by a few thieves." If this is changed to Cao Ying's army, when the battle is about to be made, will it not be a storm without a fight and will collapse itself, and then it will be too late to regret it. ”

Xu Shu was quite polite, and did not directly count Liu Qi's level of military governance, but blamed the reason on the fact that the generals under him were all mediocre.

Liu Qi nodded again and again, and said ashamedly: "Yes, in fact, I have only been the Jiangxia Taishou for less than a year, and I don't have enough time to dig out and promote talents. ”

Xu Shu's expression became more and more serious, he paced back and forth in the tent, looking worried, shaking his head from time to time and talking to himself anxiously: "This matter is really tricky, we only have less than 20,000 soldiers and horses in total, and the soldiers and horses under Zide Gongzi account for 10,000." Half of the soldiers lacked military discipline and training, so what would happen if they started a war with Cao's army. ”

Seeing Xu Shu's current performance, thinking of all the clues before, coupled with today's sudden rebellion, suddenly, Liu Feng noticed the abnormality.

"I only lack generals, but there is no shortage of good generals under my uncle's account, like Yun Chang, Zilong, as well as Mr. Xu and Ah Feng, you can just help me lead the troops and horses, and train them well."

Liu Feng's eyes were fixed on Xu Shu, and when Liu Qi made this suggestion, a special look flashed in Xu Shu's eyes, which was a kind of pride, and it also implied a certain kind of self-confidence that he was bound to win. That look can hide Liu Qi, who has a straight surname, but can't hide Liu Feng's sharp eagle eyes.

At this time, Liu Feng was seventy percent sure of his judgment, and it seemed that this so-called mutiny was very likely to be secretly planned by Xu Shu, as he said, this was his clever plan to encroach on Liu Qi's military power. Obviously, Liu Qi, who was kept in the dark, obediently took the bait.

That hint of smugness flashed, Xu Shu did not immediately agree to Liu Qi, but his expression became embarrassed again: "It's all my own family, it stands to reason that Zide Gongzi has spoken, we can't help but help." It's just that Yun Chang's subordinates have incorporated thousands of troops from Xiangyang, and our side is also busy with reorganization and training, so I'm afraid that we won't be able to spare our hands. ”

Xu Shu's refusal made Liu Qi immediately anxious, he quickly took Xu Shu's hand, and said earnestly: "Since you are a family, you have to help in this matter anyway, if the war starts, my ten thousand soldiers and horses will be delayed, will it not miss the plan to resist Cao." ”

Under Liu Qi's request, Xu Shu had to sigh helplessly: "Okay, Zide Gongzi has said this, if I don't agree again, the lord will definitely blame me if he knows." In this way, I will discuss it with Yun Chang first, and then come up with a specific plan to see with Childe later. ”

Liu Qi said very simply: "You don't need to look at it, after you and Yun Chang have discussed it, you can act immediately." ”

Listening to Liu Feng silently on the side, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart at this moment: Zide, Zide, you still don't have any heart, how can you have a foothold in such a troubled world.
