Chapter 6 Such a Frontier Soldier
As for how to control the border army, Luo Shixin discussed with Su Dingfang, Mo Huer, Xue Yong, and Wang Xuance when he was about to arrive in Gyeongju.
Each of them thought of different methods, and finally unanimously decided to take over the military power in the most direct and domineering way. Righteousness is in his hands, and it is not his style of Luo Shixin who is timid.
Under the influence of Luo Shixin, Su Dingfang, Mo Hu'er, Xue Yong, and Wang Xuance are also accustomed to liking Luo Shixin's way of dealing with domineering, and they don't want to follow those border generals who are unwilling to delegate power.
Anyway, it's just a sentence, if you don't accept or disobey, then you will be withdrawn.
You dare to rebel, okay!
Then bear the consequences of rebellion and extermination.
Dealing with the army, kneading and fabricating, and being false and wrongful are not necessarily more effective than going straight and subduing them with strength.
Anyway, in a word, he Luo Shixin took the consequences of forcing the rebels, but the border soldiers could not bear the end of the rebellion.
This is also the reliance of Luo Shixin.
The so-called three fires for new officials to take office, this is how Luo Shixin intends to burn the fire, and establish his absolute prestige in the army......
But Luo Shixin soon found out that he was wrong, and he was very wrong. He has always felt that the border army is far away on the border, and the Tiangao Emperor is far away from the central army, which is much more barbaric and disobedient to the king. Even the Twelve Guards at the feet of the Son of Heaven and the Twelve Guards in Guanzhong are often rumored to be rampant because of the rampant soldiers in the army, and those who intend to gild the army have no real strength because of their lack of prestige. Let the soldiers bully the thing, let alone the border soldiers, so the preparation is extraordinarily sufficient.
Outcome......
Luo Shixin successively received returns from Su Dingfang, Mo Huer, and Xue Yong. They have completed the handover smoothly without any accidents. The frontier soldiers are as docile as sheep......
Right!
Su Dingfang, Mo Hu'er, and Xue Yong were almost negotiated, one of them was in Gyeongju, one was in Suizhou, and the other was in Yanzhou, and at the same time used the word sheep to describe the border army.
Luo Shixin was happy at first that the handover had not been completed, but then he thought about it. Gradually, I felt that something was wrong.
A soldier like a wolf, a soldier like a tiger, this is what describes the army. A soldier like a sheep? What's going on?
"Call Su Dingfang, Mo Hu'er, and Xue Yong back to me immediately." Luo Shixin issued the second appointment since he became the governor in the Governor's Mansion, and the first was naturally to send Su Dingfang, Mo Huer, and Xue Yong to the military camps in Yanzhou, Suizhou, and Gyeongju to take over the military camps, but the second was to call them back.
Mo Huer is young and smart. But the qualitative is insufficient. So Luo Shixin asked him to take over the Gyeongju military camp, and he could also help one or two from the side.
The Governor's Mansion where Luo Shixin was located in the Gyeongju military camp was not very far away, Mo Hu'er rushed back as soon as possible, swallowed his saliva first, and said: "General, I'm so angry." Do you want me to change it for Lao Xue and Lao Su? These soldiers in Gyeongju can't be seen! All of them are recruits, and they don't have courage to have courage. If you want to fight, you don't have combat power. It sounds good to say sheep, in my opinion. They are simply vulnerable. It's not that I'm bragging, I convince him of Lao Su's ability to use soldiers, but give him 10,000 of those sheep in the Qingzhou military camp, I use 2,000, not 1,000, as long as 1,000 I was originally in the right Xiaowei's Qubu, I can overturn him. It's too weak. ”
"Alright, alright!" Luo Shixin waved his hand and said: "Don't cry for me, Gyeongju is Yang Wengan's base camp, and the soldiers and horses in the camp have been taken out to rebel." Now most of them are new recruits, and this is to be expected. The right Xiaowei is a veteran of the battle, and you are embarrassed to compare. To call you here is to give you a wake-up call. We have abundant time, but we can't waste it extravagantly. I'll give you nine months, nine months, to train this group of recruits to be like this. If you don't have this ability, you will follow me all these years for nothing. ”
When Mo Hu'er heard this, he was not happy, and it was the most correct decision he had made in his life to serve Luo Shixin in the city of Zhushui. Under Luo Shixin, he was taken seriously and learned many things that he couldn't have imagined before. As soon as he heard Luo Shixin say this now, he jumped up and shouted: "Your Highness, rest assured, nine months, nine months later, Mo Hu'er promises to let this group of recruits turn into a group of howling tiger calves." ”
He said menacingly, and walked away in a menacing manner.
Luo Shixin looked at Mo Hu'er, who was full of energy, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's good to be young." ”
He called Mo Hu'er together, which frightened the three sheep, and for a while he forgot that most of the soldiers in Gyeongju were new soldiers, and they had no experience, so it was natural to be called sheep. But it is not scientific for Yanzhou and Suizhou to be called sheep. Even if Yang Wengan is the governor, but in the face of rebellion, Liu Daju and Duan Decao are very rational and do not get involved, they should be veterans.
Xue Yong, who was in charge of Yanzhou, arrived that night, and Luo Shixin, wearing an overcoat, met with this dusty subordinate and asked, "What is the situation?" No matter how weak the border soldiers are, after all, it is the army of the Mao Guarding side, how can it be like a sheep. ”
Xue Yong smiled bitterly: "It's light to say that they are sheep, and in my opinion, they are even worse than sheep." The last general felt that an army could not be strong. But it can't be without vigor and without the demeanor of a soldier. But those border soldiers in Yanzhou have no consciousness of being soldiers at all, and they are lazy and lazy. Whatever they are asked to do, they will do. If you don't speak, they're chatting and frolicking leisurely, and they don't look like soldiers at all. ”
Luo Shixin said: "Then how did they keep it? ”
Xue Yong sighed: "This is also something I am curious about, and I inquired in detail. only to find out that they had developed a ridiculous tactical style of play, and the Turks came. They hid in the city to defend and asked Chang'an for help, but they couldn't fight anyway, and to fight was to die, as long as they held the city, they were innocent. Then after the reinforcements we sent to push the Turks back, the Turks passed through their territory in a panic. They seized this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and attacked, repelling a few scattered Turkic soldiers, which was a great victory and a result worth showing off. This is how they fought, and they did not even have the courage to actually confront the Turks head-on. What is the difference between such a soldier and a sheep? ”
Luo Shixin was stunned for a moment, a little dumbfounded, is this tactical play clever or not clever? After a long while, he held back a sentence: "What a turtle tactic, no wonder the Turks come once, and Datang will send troops to reinforce once." The border soldiers are like this, what to talk about defending one side. The prince is giving me a flock of sheep and asking me to train them to be tigers to kill wolves, which is too difficult.
