Chapter 285

"I see," the night country joined the army, thinking that they were doing military work, and said with great satisfaction: "Then there are generals of Lao." ”

"Lin Mou will not delay everyone's deliberations and say goodbye," said the night when the country joined the army and left politely, and those generals naturally smiled and sent each other off.

"Greetings, sir. ”

"Greetings, sir. ”

"Slow down, adults!"

One after another, until the end, Zhao Xu also spoke. After the night country joined the army and left, Zhao Xu looked at the generals with a puzzled expression, and on the other side, those generals met Zhao Xu's gaze but did not look at Zhao Xu, and turned their heads one by one and stared at the generals of the other battalions with dissatisfied expressions.

I don't know what the generals behind him want to do, but the noise on the side of the army is getting louder and louder, Zhao Xu was disturbed by the noise coming from there, and couldn't help but call a few ordinary generals to let them maintain order and let those soldiers be quiet.

After several generals saw Zhao Xu's actions, they all found that there was something abnormal on the army's side, and then looked over there one after another. There was something strange about the voices there, I was afraid that some soldiers were making trouble, and the thought that they had been arguing about the reward for a long time made the generals feel that it was a bit inappropriate to continue arguing about how to award the reward, so they turned their attention to how to appease the soldiers.

It didn't take long for the generals to agree that it was important to stabilize the morale of the army first. In this way, they will have no time to argue about the distribution of things, and the battalion owners will return to their respective battalions with a group of subordinates to solve the problem of order among the soldiers.

Back in their respective camps, the generals passed on the order to excuse themselves and give them a reward, and let the soldiers eat first.

In the face of the orders of their superiors, the ordinary soldiers who had been waiting for a long time still did not dare to disobey, and then the army ate in batches as usual. The night army's food was very rich, and after a full meal, the mood of the restless soldiers eased a little, and of course they still considered rewards and dispatches.

For many night soldiers, they deserve to be able to eat and drink peacefully, because they have shed too much blood and sweat for this. For the rush to send troops, the soldiers' behavior is not so natural, they want to be happy for a few more days.

Until the end of the dinner, the only progress made by the generals was that they had solved the problem of how much to divide each battalion with, but it was still difficult for the generals to think clearly about how each battalion should distribute the obtained supplies, and the main problem was that they could not calculate the merits of the army.

Time waits for no one, and any later will delay the rest of the soldiers, and as a result, the generals can only reward the soldiers according to their positions in the same simple way as they did at the beginning. From the commander to the ordinary soldier, the amount of jade bounty is lowered in turn.

By the time the distribution method was finally decided, it was almost half an hour before the end of the dinner of the three armies, and time waited for no one, and then the generals distributed the prizes in the current way.

Their reward method is fair on the surface, but in fact it is not fair at all, and all the generals are thinking that they must work out a method of calculating military merit in the future, and then reward soldiers according to military merit, so as to improve the fairness of the distribution of rewards.

At night, in a house, Lin Xuanzhong and the Da Niu brothers and other ten people slept together, and the houses they lived in were all where the snow army originally lived. Now there is no Snow Army in the camp, so naturally let them turn against the guests, but unfortunately the number of rooms in the Snow Army camp is not too much, so ten soldiers are allocated in each room.

Of course, there was another reason for Lin Xuanzhong and them to sleep so cramped, the general above wanted to use this to vacate more rooms for those wounded soldiers to provide better recuperation. Either way, it's better to have a house to live in than to sleep on the ground.

At night, there was silence in the night army camp, there were no soldiers and no busy figures, and it was so normal and orderly inside and outside the city, up and down.

The ashes in the moat were about to fill up the river hundreds of meters long, the river was no longer as clear as before, and many places were stained red with the blood from the corpses of the snow army, and the night army no longer used the water in the river to wash pots and utensils when cooking.

After the corpses of the Snow Army were all incinerated, the corpses of the soldiers of the Night Army, except for the bodies of some generals who were properly preserved and then sent to Huangyan Pass by special people, all the corpses of the other soldiers were buried in a remote place, and Zhao Wu would not let their corpses become food for wild beasts.

In terms of disposing of the corpses of his own soldiers, Zhao Wu did his best, in the final analysis, in fact, those dead soldiers were the ones who really contributed the most, of course, Zhao Wu would give the corresponding pensions to the families of those soldiers.

After a day's cleaning, the battlefield had been cleared, and half of the carcasses of the thousands of horses had been eaten, and half was left for the army to eat before it set off. In this capture of Xilan Pass, the night army obtained too much loot, and the number of weapons obtained was several times more than the damaged weapons. Especially for bows and arrows, all arrows have been used as military quartermasters.

In addition, the night army also received thousands of living war horses, and the cavalry battalion could replenish the troops. In terms of food and grass, the grain and grass obtained by the night army plus the original grain and grass were enough for the night army to use for several months, and the only problem was the clothing of the sergeants. In order to avoid accidentally injuring his own people when the war started, Zhao Wu also asked for unified service.

At first, the Night Army had a good stock of uniforms, but after a few battles, the soldiers' clothing was too damaged, so the remaining uniforms were slightly insufficient compared to the number of soldiers.

In addition to ordinary clothes, one-third of the soldiers in the army are wearing armor that is somewhat damaged, dress is one of the most basic problems, and it is difficult to replenish the materials in terms of clothing before the young age, so it is very difficult to unify the clothing of the night army and improve the appearance of the night army.

In the past day, Zhao Wu considered many trivial issues, during which Zhao Xu had already conveyed the situation in the army to Zhao Wu.

Zhao Wu was not surprised that a group of generals would carry out military orders in the form of military rank and reward. Since those generals can't think of a suitable way, it can only be distributed like this. After all, Zhao Wu gave the matter to those generals with full authority, and if those generals failed to solve the matter, Zhao Wu would hold them accountable. In fact, Zhao Wu only hoped that they could solve the matter.

Those generals were busy all day, and Zhao Wu, who had been thinking about things, was also not idle, and spies kept reporting news to Zhao Wu. Some of those messages were related to the situation in Snow Country, and some were related to the situation within the Night Army.

The discussion of those soldiers had reached Zhao Wu's ears, and it was not surprising that many soldiers could not accept the military order to leave the army the day after tomorrow, and Zhao Wu was not surprised that those soldiers would be dissatisfied because of this.

Recently, the Night Army has been fighting against the Snow Army, and although they have been winning battles, the soldiers will still be tired, which is a state of being in high spirits on the surface, but a little tired inside, and in the long run, this situation will gradually evolve into a potential hidden danger.

Fortunately, the morale of the army has a little benefit in relieving the inner pressure of the soldiers, which can reduce the inner fatigue of the soldiers to a certain extent, so that the soldiers can become psychologically stronger little by little.

Of course, there are certain disadvantages to the high morale of the night army, if the morale is excessively inflated, it will lead to a kind of pride and complacency in many night soldiers, so that the soldiers will develop the habit of empty-sightedness, and in the future, they will not be able to be calm and calm in the face of the vicious situation in the battle, and the army will be uncertain, which will make it difficult for the soldiers to unite. Part of the reason why Zhao Wu decided to send troops as soon as possible was the morale of the army.

If he wants to completely crush the resistance of the Snow Country, Zhao Wu is not completely sure, unless he can stabilize the morale of the army and unite the soldiers. Judging from the news he got today, Zhao Wu felt that there were many problems exposed in the army, the dissatisfaction of the soldiers with the upper echelons, and the discord between the generals of the various battalions, all of which made Zhao Wu realize that their night army was not as strong as everyone imagined.

In Zhao Wu's view, if we want to really make the army strong, the only way is to rectify the morale of the army. It is necessary to enforce strict military discipline and discipline, and rewards and punishments should be clearly distinguished, and everyone should be treated equally. However, if the morale of the army was forcibly stabilized, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among some soldiers, even if Zhao Wu believed that there must be more soldiers in the army who were willing to obey orders.

After a period of consideration, Zhao Wu felt that he could rectify the morale of the army in a smooth way, and first needed those generals to appease people's hearts. So for Zhao Wu, the first thing is to appease the hearts of the generals, judging from the situation that Zhao Xu said, the generals also did not fully agree with the decision to go to war, so Zhao Wu felt that a meeting must be held.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Wu gathered some generals who were ready to rest after a hard night's work and held a collective meeting overnight. In a conference hall, Zhao Wu, Yeguo joined the army, and more than a dozen generals in the army sat around the table.

At first, Zhao Wu did not mention the battle, but asked some generals to tell the situation of their own army, and in addition, tortured from the captives about the snow army.

At Zhao Wu's prompting, some generals described the current situation in the army in detail, so that the generals present could know what kind of state the army was in now.

On the one hand, those generals did not forget to take the initiative to explain the measures they had taken to deal with those situations, otherwise they would be worried that Zhao Wu and the Night Kingdom would think that they did not do well.

When they asked Zhao Wu about the method of rewarding soldiers, Zhao Wu did not directly state their right and wrong, in fact, there was no right or wrong at all, only good and bad, because Zhao Wu also had no better way to reward ordinary soldiers.
