Li Fengliang has a new stable.

Ma Weiguan has a new army.

The old, the young, the sick and the disabled are all available.

Everyone in the barracks said that the general was crazy, but he was a very important person to the emperor, otherwise he would not have been sent to guard Ma Wei Pass.

General Ning Yuan listened to the shouts and scolding of the Nanban soldiers on the city tower day and night, and sometimes he trembled with anger.

But Li Fengliang had no choice but to give an order, and no one was allowed to go out of the city without permission.

......

He rode on his horse, followed by the new boy.

"Tuzhou, do you think these people can fight?"

Zhou Tu followed him, looked up at the yellow-faced and thin-skinny old soldiers who were hungry because of the famine and war, and shook his head.

"And what kind of people do you think can fight?"

Zhou Tu pondered, "Like a general." ”

Li Fengliang smiled, "What I need is a stable, not a sycophant." ”

Zhou Tu thought for a moment, and this time Zhengse said, "The first thing to fight in a war is morale. The courage of the husband is also, followed by strategy, if you strategize, you can win a thousand miles. The third point is the strength of the troops, and the strong soldiers of that side can win. ”

As he spoke, he nodded in satisfaction.

This is the words that Ma Chongju gave him before his death, and he still keeps it firmly in his heart, if Ma Chongju does not oppose, then they may still be able to sit and drink tea opposite each other now.

Li Fengliang shook his head, "This is just the most superficial use of soldiers. ”

Zhou Tu smiled secretly in his heart, and said that Ma Chongju had been guarding the Great Zhou for more than ten years, and the truth of Guotai Min'an was superficial?

Li Fengliang smiled slightly, "Do you know the Zhou Tu of the First Emperor?"

Zhou Tu lowered his head, his face calm, "I've heard a little. ”

"Tell me about him. ”

Zhou Tu thought about it carefully, "The Great Zhou Dynasty was built for more than ten years, and during the reign of Zhou Tu, he reviewed and reviewed the folds day and night, and he must bow down to himself, and he is a wise man." The Great Zhou Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, and the wind and rain are smooth, which is due to him. ”

Li Fengliang smiled slightly.

"If Da Zhou is really smooth, where are these poor people?"

......

In a word, Zhou Tu looked at the soldiers in front of him in a daze, speechless.

Li Fengliang said, "So I think that it is not financial resources or courage that fights for war, but the people." ”

He looked into Zhou Tu's eyes and said, "Nanban is just a small tribe, and there is no fixed place to live, why should I be on guard every Sunday and night? The people are scared? But it is strong in the people, everyone in the people can get on the horse, and three-year-old children can use knives, how can such a team not be strong?"

Zhou Tu lowered his head and pondered silently.

He has been an emperor for many years, and he has heard countless words from important ministers, but he has never heard such outright remarks.

How can the people be strong if they are not strong?

Li Fengliang said, "Zhou Tu may be a good official, but he is definitely not a good emperor." A true emperor would not care about the gains or losses of one or two volumes of memorabilia, because these recitals were written by local officials. Before I came, General Ning Yuan's letter to His Majesty was that the side plug was tight, how could he have mentioned these suffering people? ”

Zhou Tu was slightly stunned, his eyes were a little dazed, "Dare to ask where the general is taught?"

Li Fengliang said softly, "This is all taught to me by my mother. ”

Zhou Tu then asked, "Where is Lingtang?"

Li Fengliang raised his eyebrows, "You're asking me?"

Zhou Tu was taken aback, and then he thought of his identity, he calmed down his slightly excited mood, and then exclaimed, "Lord Lingtang's strategy and courage can determine the security of the country and the people." ”

Li Fengliang said coldly, "We don't want to settle the country and the people, and it's not your turn." But don't forget who you are. ”

Li Fengliang jumped off the horse.

He handed the reins in his hand to Zhou Tu's hand and commanded:

"After scrubbing, drinking, and walking, General Ben is going to train these sergeants. ”

......

Zhou Tu took the reins of the horse, was stunned for a moment, and then watched Li Fengliang walk towards the military field, his face was bitter.

A lieutenant shouted next to him.

"New here, hurry up, drink the horse water, and bring it directly. ”

......

......

Li Fengliang did not tell these people how to fight, nor did he teach these people how to fight.

He's teaching these people how to read and how to make money.

For the first time, there was a sergeant on the military field who did not need to be trained and had a silver collar.

Many soldiers looked at them with some curiosity, and some of them already showed a little indignation on their faces, but because of the majesty of the general, no one dared to say anything.

On the first day, the people were dressed in tatters and looked like an army with only food.

Li Fengliang did not issue them any military uniforms, nor did he ask them to live in the barracks.

The next day, a few people took the lead, dressed a little neater.

On the third day, only a few of them were still so sloppy.

So those people were eliminated.

Li Fengliang looked at all the remaining sergeants in the field.

"I don't give you money so that you can fight. You need to know that sometimes, a man's spirit is far more important than how many battles he can fight, and if I were given a remnant army that would rather die than surrender, and an army that has always been strong but runs away when I hear the barbarians, I will not hesitate to choose the former......"

Zhou Tu supported Li Fengliang's horse, and everything in front of him had become a habit.

He thought for a moment and seemed to understand that this was the true way to teach soldiers.

Many people also began to understand why Li Fengliang ordered not to let the sergeant take the initiative to attack the barbarians.

——

There are many barbarians, and they are extremely flexible, so naturally they can't be wiped out all at once, so since this is the case, there is no need to attack.

Instead of studying how to fight, it is better to study how to teach the people.

Zhou Tu dipped the water in the bucket with a horse brush in his hand, and began to brush the horse seriously, muttering to himself.

"People as the root ......"

......

Until noon, when the sun rises high, the autumn sun is extraordinarily distant, but it still carries the heat of summer.

Li Fengliang took the reins of the horse from Zhou Tu's hand, looked at him and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't bring a dagger every day, and General Ben can match you with a sword." ”

Zhou Tu lowered his head, and the dagger hidden in his sleeve was hidden by him seamlessly, but Li Fengliang still saw it.

A small colonel came in the distance, panting, and arrived in front of Li Fengliang's horse.

"Someone called Guan. ”

Li Fengliang frowned, "How many more times do you want me to say it?"

The little colonel said, "It's not that it's called Guan, it's that someone wants to go out from Guanzhong." ”

"How many?"

"Alone. ”

"Who?"

"Central Plains people. ”

Li Fengliang said lightly, "Tell the archers to scare them, if they shoot back, Ma Wei will be the territory of the barbarians, which is extremely dangerous." ”

The Colonel said nervously, "Archer... Can't shoot that man......"

Li Fengliang's brows raised.

He asked in a cold voice, "What kind of person is that?"

The little colonel thought for a while and said, "It's a young man, carrying a package and a long sword, carrying a firewood knife at his waist, and riding a yellow horse. ”

......
