Chapter 193: Taking the Helm of the Army
Guan Yu, who has studied management in modern times, knows well that Maslow put forward the five needs of people, and as the lowest demand - material, has become the most important demand in this era, this is an era of war and chaos is also an era of decline, a large number of people are often not enough to eat and clothe, their desire for material is better than others, and the same is true in the army, Guan Yu is deeply aware of this, "wealth is the rice of the government" This sentence is too reasonable, Without a material basis to guarantee it, who is still dead set on messing with you?
Based on the above understanding, Guan Yu has actively fought for various material guarantees for his brothers since he became General Anton, and solved part of it by actively applying to Lu Shang, especially Dong Zhuo, to ask for various subsidies; Another way is to conquer the seizures after the victory, especially after the robbery of military rations, Guan Yu will release these seizures to his own, he began to establish a unique set of accounts in the army, there are details of entry and exit, through this clear accounting, the "small warehouse" in his army is becoming more and more full, and there are many times there are a lot of surpluses.
This modern financial management method made his army rich quickly, but Guan Yu has a principle that no matter how hard it is, he will not let his army bother the people, so that he has nothing to do with the people, and he once planned to use the army and the people for production, but often it is too late to recuperate and the war breaks out, because Dong Zhuo has accumulated a lot of wealth in the army because of Dong Zhuo's forcible seizure of the rich and noble, and has accumulated a lot of wealth in the army, so Guan Yu's troops have always been very fulfilling, and Guan Yu will not give an inch in terms of wealth distribution. He used his prominent position and identity in front of Dong Zhuo to often ask Dong Zhuo for food and grass, and Dong Zhuo also gave him face most of the time. As the most important general in front of Dong Zhuo, Guan Yu asked for the most grain, grass and baggage. Many times, he took out his rewards as the wealth of his army, and with the continuous rise of his status and power, Guan Yu's fortune also rose with the tide. However, he contributed most of this money to his army's account, and he kept only a small part.
As a professional soldier who started from the lowest level of the army, Guan Yu treated all these soldiers under his command as his own children, he hoped that his army would have combat effectiveness but hoped that these soldiers under his command could be fed and clothed and the treatment of them improved. A good general, part of his success comes from his personal efforts, and a bigger part lies in the hard work of his soldiers. Only by giving full play to the strength of the collective can we achieve the expected realm, a person can become a hero but can also be destroyed quickly, but a hero's team is not so easy to defeat, so there will be a sigh in history that "shaking the mountain is easy to shake the Yue family's army"!
Guan Yu also has such a dream: he wants to build his army into a first-class army, just like the Tiger Ben Army, Yuejia Army, and Qi Family Army that appeared in history. This soul is the spirit of Bright Sword, just like the "Bright Sword" he played in the TV series he watched in modern times, and he continued to work hard for this
Although it has only been a short ten years, Guan Yu's leadership of the army is the best among all generals. His troops are not only strong in combat but also very united, not only so physically strong, but also strict in discipline. Unlike other troops, Guan Yu also saw his glory as the commander of an army. He is not only a hero but also a successful general, and the team he leads can be very hard. It can really be described as an ace main force, which is the greatest honor and reward for being a career officer.
Guan Yu's ability to govern the army is coupled with his high prestige and kindness, and his influence in the army is incomparable, and his position in the hearts of the soldiers is irreplaceable, because he has brought two recruits and because he is the leader of the army in wartime, he has led a lot of soldiers, and the soldiers have special respect for him, respect his talent and personality, he is a god in the hearts of the soldiers, not just the god of war, so Guan Yu killed Dong Zhuo and set up another banner, Dong Zhuo's army all expressed support, This is a victory for him to govern the army, but also a victory for him as a person, and the greatest reward for his Guan Yu's hard work for so many years.
The entire Luoyang army of 15 people now all expressed their obedience to Guan Yu, accepted Guan Yu's leadership, supported him as the leader, elected him as the supreme commander, the entire Luoyang sergeants also held a huge oath meeting, the soldiers shouted slogans to support the new master, just like the clouds and mist to see the sun, more happy than winning the battle, as if found a home and rely on the future full of confidence.
Guan Yu stood on the highest point platform in Luoyang City, witnessing all this, looking at the vast sea of people, he cried, never before, his glasses were moist all of a sudden, at this time he couldn't tell why this happened, but at this time he could not suppress the tears in his eyes. "Men don't flick when they have tears, only because they haven't reached the sad place", Guan Yu is not sad but moved, he never thought that these soldiers would be so quick to submit, the military heart is so oriented to himself, he has spent a lot of time and energy on the construction of the army over the years, but he didn't expect that the soldiers would be so supportive and love themselves, which made him somewhat flattered and very unexpected
Guan Yu took full control of Luoyang's military power in this way, Dong Zhuo's relatives and generals were all wiped out, Guan Yu quickly controlled the situation in Luoyang, and he sent Zhang Liao to go to Yiwu to retrieve Diao Chan, Zhang Liao's move was blocked by Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate, Zhang Liao killed Wu Qiong in a rage, and escorted Diao Chan back to Luoyang, Guan Yu saw his beloved woman again, Diao Chan threw himself into Guan Yu's arms as if he had opened the clouds and saw the day.
Guan Yu personally exterminated the Dong thief and made great achievements for the country, and Emperor Han Xian praised his behavior, so that Guan Yu continued to lead all the soldiers and horses in Luoyang, and still served as a general, the governor of military affairs, and the ministers of the court and the central government were also excited about Guan Yu's righteous deeds, and he was also very much in favor of this young man, Guan Yu had made friends with a large number of veteran-level ministers in the court when he was in addition to Dong Zhuo, such as Taiwei Yang Biao, Zhu Jun, the right middle lang general, Dong Cheng, Taifu Sima Dan, etc., his connections in the court are also quite good, Guan Yu this time got the unanimous support of the whole court, he immediately expressed his support for the emperor, the emperor saw Guan Yu's sincerity, so he crowned him as the general of the protector of the country, the marquis of Hedong, Guan Yu soon settled in Luoyang.
Guan Yu launched a coup d'Γ©tat in Luoyang, and the news of killing Dong Zhuo suddenly spread to Chang'an, at this time, the Chang'an guard general was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu and the general Li Dao of the expedition to the west, these two were left by Dong Zhuo to guard the west, once an accident occurred, there was a response, the news of the Luoyang coup seemed to fly to Chang'an, Niu Fu was furious when he heard it, and immediately he was going to count the people to attack Luoyang, Li Dao persuaded Niu Fu: "Guan Yu is powerful this time and has established a firm foothold in Luoyang, there are 150,000 troops inside and outside Luoyang City, It's not easy for us to deal with the Fallen Soldiers! β
"What should I do with the general?" Ushisuke asked.
Li Wei then said: "As far as I know, Guan Yu has just gained a foothold in Luoyang, and the Tiger Prison Pass and Bishui Pass outside Luoyang City are still firmly in the hands of Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu, these two are the henchmen of the lord, and there are still many people in hand, if we join forces with them to attack, I think Guan Yu will not be able to take care of each other, and Luoyang will be able to go down immediately!" β
"General Li is really high! In this way, I took Luoyang and captured Guan Yu alive, and I will definitely avenge my father-in-law! Niu Fu said excitedly.
The two discussed and immediately wrote a letter to Zhang Ji, who was in the Tiger Prison Pass, to make an appointment, Li Dao, Niu Fu raised a total of 100,000 troops of the three auxiliary troops, and marched eastward to Luoyang, passing through the Rongyang boundary, Rongyang Taishou Xu Rong went out of the city to meet, and the vassals rushed to the direction of Luoyang, at the same time, Zhang Ji in the Tiger Prison Pass heard that Dong Zhuo was killed and was angry and his nephew Zhang Xiu was thinking about revenge, and there was no landing, when Li Dao's letter arrived, the letter agreed to jointly raise troops to attack Guan Yu, After Zhang Ji heard this, Dayue immediately took stock of his men and horses with his nephew Zhang Xiu, and prepared to attack from the direction of Tiger Pass.
Guan Yu calmed down the affairs of Luoyang, just took root in Luoyang, and after it stabilized, he began to ponder the stubborn strength of Dong Zhuo outside, Guan Yu carefully calculated that there were Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu father and son in the east, and Li Dao and Niu Fushi in the west. Thinking about this, he was a little scared
At present, Luoyang is under his own control, but if he loses this place, it is also a matter of waving his hand, isn't it mentioned in the book that Lu Bu and Wang Yun killed Dong Zhuo and took Chang'an, but were forced out of Chang'an by Li Dao and Guo Yan? He must not find their old way, he wants to completely defeat Li Dao and Zhang Ji, because he is not Lu Bu, he is the dignified Second Master Guan!
To become a strong man's dream to forge ahead, Guan Yu never dared to have the slightest pause and slackness for fear of losing time and wasting the years, the current situation is very good, successfully killed Dong Zhuo He did a key step cleanly, this is a turning point, Guan Yu successfully achieved a turning point, took a solid step towards his ideals, and the next thing he has to do is to consolidate his victory first.
