I have to say that the recruitment and buying of hearts and minds that Li Xian learned from Cao Ying's burning letters is indeed very beautiful, at least from the first day, the soldiers think that the captain is a good person. Although everyone sweated in their hearts when Wang Qinian exposed everyone, and even the people who were named were already ready to accept military justice in grief and indignation. Everyone is not stupid, and it is most common for a new official to take up Liwei, and he has to find a few unlucky ghosts to be killed as chickens to show the monkey.

But in the end, everyone was surprised to find that there was only one unlucky ghost, and that was Wang Qinian, the brigade leader of the Ding brigade, who was almost fifty years old and cautious and alive, was easily forced by Li Xian to have to be loyal to him. Fortunately, Wang Qinian is a person who can think openly and his vision is not low, he knows that the captain is deliberately letting himself stand in line, and he still values him, which is a kind of co-optation in disguise, of course, this kind of co-optation is not very pleasant.

But Wang Qinian quickly figured it out, who is the captain? That is a fierce person who dares to lead seventeen subordinates to fight against the 50,000-strong army of Ezhi Wende, and that is a big man with an unlimited future who is favored and valued by His Majesty. At a young age, he has already achieved the rank of six-grade lieutenant, and in a few years, who knows if he will ascend to the position of a general. Although he was put on the spot by Captain Yan, he couldn't help but say that this was an opportunity. If you don't walk well, it's a small road, and if you walk well, who dares to guarantee that it won't be a Yangguan Avenue?

Therefore, after figuring it out, Wang Qinian was not only not depressed, but more enthusiastically devoted himself to the work of serving the captain. Anyway, now that he is a complete villain among the food guards, is there any other way to go without hugging the thick legs of the captain?

Wang Qinian was very powerful, ignoring the disdainful eyes of the robes, and went to the outside of Li Xian's tent early the next morning to wait to see if the captain had any latest instructions.

After Li Xian finished grooming, as soon as he went out, he saw Wang Qinian standing at the door with a smile waiting for him.

"Something?"

Li Xian asked.

Wang Qinian bent down slightly and said, "It's okay, just wait at the door and see what you have to say." ”

Li Xian was stunned for a moment, then patted Wang Qinian on the shoulder with a smile and said, "If you want to say that there is really one thing." ”

Wang Qinian immediately said: "My lord, just say it, as long as it is ......"

Before the latter words could be spoken, he was interrupted by Li Xian, he patted Wang Qinian on the shoulder and said: "Let's go to the baggage camp first, if the food and grass supplies of the other guards are taken away, you can go to the captain of the horse and ask when the supplies of our Zuo Tunwei will be collected." ”

"I... I don't know the colt. ”

Wang Qinian said.

Li Xian asked very seriously: "What's on your nose?" ”

"Eyes."

"And what's under the nose?"

"Mouth!"

Li Xian nodded and said, "You have eyes and mouths, don't you know how to look and ask?" ”

Wang Qinian was stunned, then nodded and said, "My subordinates understand." ”

He turned around and ran out of the battalion and went straight to the baggage logistics center, only to see a cloud of smoke floating, and Wang Qinian was gone. Li Xian was slightly stunned, and said in his heart how could this guy run like a pleasant goat.

Li Xian inspected the camp and went to the people's station to take a look, and found that their breakfast was too poor with the food of the grain guards. Each person has only one bowl of porridge in the morning, and there is no dry rice at all. On the surface, it seems that the breakfast of the grain guards is only one more steamed bun than the people on the basis of a bowl of porridge, but the key is in that bowl of porridge. The porridge drunk by the people can almost reflect the figures of the people. And the porridge in the bowl of the grain guards is meat porridge.

When Li Xian passed by the camp, the people with yellow faces immediately got up and saluted, bending down one by one, sincerely afraid. Li Xian originally thought that he was a person with strong psychological endurance, but he couldn't help but feel sour when he saw their appearance.

"Add a steamed bun to each of them"

Li Xian turned around and said to the team in charge of supervising the people.

The team was stunned for a moment, and said in embarrassment: "My lord, this is a common practice in the army. ”

Li Xian turned around and looked at him coldly and asked, "Is it Your Majesty's will?" ”

"It's not"

"Is it General Xin Shixiong's order?"

"It's not"

"Is that another order from the general?"

"Neither is it"

The team's face became very pale, and he couldn't help but hang his head when Li Xian asked.

Li Xian slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said word by word: "You can look down on them, or you can not treat them as human beings, but one thing you have to remember is that they are responsible for transporting your grain, grass, baggage, logistics and supplies, if they can't eat enough and don't have the strength to work, one day you will also taste the taste of not having enough to eat." The army is about to go on the march, and you don't want to go hungry yourself, so do as I say. I remember yesterday I said that I will not pursue what you have done before, but since I became the captain of this food guard, no voices in this regiment are allowed to question my orders. Not only today's breakfast, but in the future, they will have to ensure three meals a day, at the very least, they must eat enough. ”

"Whoa!"

The team responded loudly and walked quickly to the people: "The captain said, add one steamed bun per person, from today onwards, your food will be increased from one meal to three meals a day, and you will be full!" ”

When the last two words were shouted, the Minfu camp was boiling!

Li Xian looked at the cheering crowd, and his heart seemed to be sour, as if he had poured a whole jar of vinegar. These people, how simple is their **? It's just a matter of adding a steamed bun and a meal. The people have two meals every day, and there is only one bowl of gruel for breakfast, which is indeed a military convention, but this convention, Li Xian is not afraid to break it. As he said, even if it wasn't for the sake of those people to have an extra bite of food, just for themselves to have an extra bite of food, it was not enough to make them hungry.

This time, the army did not bring many people, in order to ensure the speed of the march. After the successive battles of Zuotunwei, there were less than 30,000 soldiers, and only 1,400 people were brought with them, so you can imagine how many things these people had to carry on their shoulders. Goguryeo is mountainous, and in many places the carriages cannot pass, and all the supplies are carried on their shoulders, and if they do not have physical strength, they will be dragged by the hind legs of the army.

Therefore, Li Xian ordered to increase the amount of food for the people, not only to buy people's hearts with bad intentions, but also to consider the march. Since he is Zuo Tunwei's person for the time being, Li Xian must consider the road ahead.

Half an hour later, Wang Qinian ran back out of breath, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said to Li Xian: "My lord, the horse said that we can go and carry supplies now." ”

Li Xian hummed and asked, "Our Zuo Tunwei is the last one to receive supplies?" ”

Wang Qinian said: "No, our Zuo Tunwei is the penultimate to receive supplies, and it is said that Zuo Tunwei's supplies have not yet been received." ”

Li Xian smiled, and said in his heart that Yu Wenshu, the general of Zuo Zhenwei, was Yu Wenshi's pro-Laozi, so he naturally had to take care of it a little more. Seeing that the people were resting after eating, Li Xian walked to the middle of the venue and said loudly: "The whole team! Follow the lieutenant to the baggage battalion to carry supplies, and all teams, brigades, march in line in order, do you understand! ”

"Got it!"

The people shouted loudly, and stood up energetically to find their respective teams. Under the leadership of the brigade leader of the Minfu Battalion, a group of minmen dressed in tatters actually lined up in a neat queue and strode towards the baggage camp. Looking at the people who left the camp like a long dragon, Li Xian smiled knowingly.

"What a god!"

Wang Qinian looked at the backs of those people and praised them in the most sincere tone: "The captain has cleaned up these unruly guys in a few words, it's really God!" ”

……

…….

Li Xian found Yu Wenshiji, first stood solemnly, and then performed a standard Great Sui military salute, and said in a loud voice: "Yanyun, the captain of the Zuotun Guard Grain Guard, has seen a horse!" ”

Yu Wenshi glanced at him, looked around at the soldiers watching, so he raised his hand in a decent manner as a return salute, pointed to the mountain of baggage not far away and said: "That's the supply of your Zuo Tunwei, you can transport it back after counting it." ”

Li Xian said: "It's still not clear, I'm afraid it's hard to explain if I count too much." ”

Yu Wenshi was stunned, and then scolded with a smile: "If you don't even go through the motions, it's not easy to explain!" ”

Li Xian smiled and followed Yu Wenshi into his big tent. After entering, Yu Wenshi pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down and say, how is it, Captain Yan, how do you feel about being in charge of a group of food guards and people?" ”

Li Xian knew that although he was not necessarily angry, he was inevitably a little awkward in his heart. A good soldier captain didn't do it, so he had to run to the food guards. It's really a very depressing thing for Yu Wenshi, who is bent on pulling himself into the past to become a helper. But fortunately, Li Xian's words still moved him. As Li Xian said, if he really relied on the pressure of Yu Wenshi and Xin Shixiong to reluctantly arrange a military captain for Li Xian, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not wear small shoes for Li Xian when the army went out in the future.

Anything can happen on an expedition with a large army. Li Xian seemed to have taken a step back, but in fact, he had taken a big step forward.

Yu Wenshi and of course he is not such a narrow-minded person, he is bent on taking advantage of Li Xian's lack of foundation in the army to pull him by his side, even if he does not agree with Li Xian's approach, he will not show anything at this time. The Yuwen family is the first family in the army, and the reason why his father Yuwenshu is so favored is not because he firmly stood on the side of Yang Guang, who was still the king of Jin at the time, when he stood in line? This is his father's vision, at that time, Gao Ying, Su Wei, Yang Su and other important ministers of the Great Sui were all on the side of the crown prince Yang Yong, Yuwenshu chose a relatively weak Jin king, this courage and eyesight are indeed few people.

When Yang Guang was the king of Jin, in order to please Gaozu Yang Jian, he deliberately pretended to be hard and simple, eating, like ordinary people, wearing, just like ordinary people, and trying to stay away from the word luxury. At this time, it was Yuwenshu who poured all his wealth into helping Yang Guang win over the courtiers. In order to help Yang Guang win the heir, he can be said to have done his best.

It can be said that Yang Guang was able to ascend to the throne of God, and Yuwenshu contributed a lot.

Therefore, knowing that Yu Wenshu was very greedy and excluded dissidents for his private rights, Yang Guang still connived at him. Although he knew that Yu Wenshu was definitely not an outstanding one among the generals in terms of his ability to lead troops, he still handed over the command of more than 300,000 troops to him.

As the son of Yu Wenshu, Yu Wenshi and what he learned from a young age was not only the art of power and strategy, but also the ability to see people. When it was said that in Liaoshui, Li Xian pretended to be stupid and cautious to hide Yang Guang, but he couldn't hide him. On that day, Yu Wenshi found that this young man named Yan Yun was definitely not to be underestimated, how could a guy who dared to take a dozen people to fight with the Koreans in order to attract His Majesty's attention?

That's why he will help Li Xian.

There is no one around him, the staff of the family are all on the side of the eldest brother Yu Wenhua and his side, and the support he can get from the family is limited, and he must rely on himself now.

"Brother Shi... Why do you want to ridicule me? ”

Li Xian smiled bitterly.

After entering the big tent and leaving no outsiders, Li Xian reverted to this nondescript title.

Yu Wenshi was amused by Li Xian's pitiful appearance, pointed outside and said: "The grain and grass are distributed according to the actual number, which is absolutely enough, and the food distributed to each soldier is already very heavy, and any more is a burden." As for armor and equipment, I added thirty percent to your Zuo Tunwei, and I don't have the guts to do it no matter how much I have. War horses, I will make up for Zuotunwei, as for the horses carrying supplies, I will give you two hundred more. ”

Li Xian first thanked him solemnly, and then said seriously: "Five hundred"

"What five hundred?"

"Five hundred, horses."

Li Xian smiled.

"You and I am here to sell vegetables? And still bargain? ”

Yu Wenshi glanced at him and said.

Li Xian took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Hundreds of more horses, even if they are horses, they will run faster." ”

Yu Wenshi was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed: "You are so bold! ”

Li Xian sighed: "Brother and Shi...... Don't you think so? ”

Yu Wenshi was speechless, yes, he was not optimistic about this expedition at all? On a whim, His Majesty ordered more than 600,000 recruits to continue the siege of Liaodong City, while more than 300,000 soldiers from the army who had experienced a hundred battles went on an expedition to Pyongyang. However, the Great Sui side didn't even have a decent map! In the army, Liaodong City is further southeast, all of them are blank! I don't even know how to take the road to Pyongyang, will this expedition really be completed in one battle, as His Majesty hopes?

He sighed and said slowly: "The supplies will be moved more slowly for a while, and you will stay up until the evening to come and lead the horses, there are too many of them." ”

Li Xian said in surprise: "Thank you Brother Shiji!" ”

Yu Wenshi waved his hand and said with a bitter smile: "You bold little thief, it's better not to talk nonsense in the future." If I tell Your Majesty what you have said, I will have your head at once! ”

Li Xianxin said How do you know that I am a thief, but I am not a small thief, but a big thief, very big.

Without waiting for Li Xian to speak, Yu Wenshi suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Xian, and said three words very seriously: "Don't break off!" ”

Li Xian was silent.

……

……

Both of them knew that if the army was really defeated, the latter would be cut off...... Surely death.

ps: The last few chapters are very affordable, all of them are about 4,000 chapters, it's hard enough, so it stands to reason to ask, red tickets, is it given or given?
