Hearing the words of joining the army, Cao Xiu secretly smacked his tongue, every soldier of the Shu army hung a silver medal around his neck? How much silver is enough? If the enemy knows that the soldiers of the Shu army have a silver medal around their necks, will these Shu soldiers become fragrant buns? Will this be a disguised boost to the morale of the enemy? He didn't know that the salaries of the soldiers of the Hong Army were very high, and the silver medal was worth less than a month's salary.

What surprised him even more was that even the emperor and empress of Shu had this "dog tag". It seems that what He joined the army just said that the words of this brand in Shu are not lying, even the emperor is no exception, so there is no problem of insult and discrimination.

"In fact, this silver medal also has a role, that is, soldiers who died on the battlefield can rely on it to identify the corpse. The battlefield is usually chaotic, and after a big battle, many soldiers may go missing, with it, we can easily identify the identity of each soldier killed in battle, and reduce the situation that the missing soldier cannot be found. This is important for us to pay out bereavement benefits. He continued.

Hearing this, Cao Xiu was very disapproving, what kind of identity did the soldiers who died in battle have to identify, just dig a big pit and bury it or burn it with a fire, why bother so much. The missing soldiers can be dealt with as deserters, and they can also save the cost of bereavement and pension, and the Shu army is really asking for trouble by doing this.

Cao Xiu would not understand how much cohesion these practices of the Hong army brought to the army and how much sense of belonging to the soldiers they bringed. He asked: "If the enemy covets the silver medal around your neck, I am afraid it will not be conducive to you fighting and recovering the remains of the soldiers who died in battle, right?" ”

He joined the army and said: "No, first, our army has always only won in battle, so it is only our side that cleans up the battlefield after the war, and the enemy has no chance to covet our silver medal." Second, if there is a time when we are unable to retrieve the remains, we will redeem the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle for three times the price of this silver medal, believing that both the enemy and the common people will be happy to return the bodies to us in exchange for three times the profit.

In fact, the significance of the silver medal for the military is more than this, think about it, non-soldiers, even high-ranking officials, princes and nobles can only use bronze medals, only soldiers can use more valuable silver medals, what does this mean?

This means that the soldiers have an honor higher than the others, and in fact it is true, those soldiers who have returned from the army can still hang this silver medal, and when they see the magistrate, as long as they show this silver medal, they do not need to bow down to the magistrate, on the contrary, the magistrate has to bow to them. Think about it, under such a favorable situation, are the people willing to become soldiers? ”

Cao Xiu was secretly surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect the soldiers of the Shu army to have such treatment, he already knew that the soldiers of the Shu State could receive a lot of money every month, and the food in the army was also very good, and they could also get the fields after being discharged.

Compared with Wei and Wu, both of whom were arresting strong men and forcing the people to become soldiers, Shu's approach was simply a world apart. Looking at everything else, just from the point of view of taking the initiative to serve as a soldier and being forced to be a soldier, the morale of the Shu army will be far from the army of the other two countries, in other words, the combat effectiveness will also be very different.

Therefore, even if the Shu army does not have those terrible advanced weapons, it is estimated that the two countries~ armies will not be able to defeat them, this little emperor of Shu is indeed worthy of the legendary figure of the destiny of heaven, and his every move is extraordinary.

He Senjun explained while taking Cao Xiu through the military formation, Cao Xiu saw that the other Wei troops and people who had surrendered were all guided to their respective settlements, during which they were in good order, and there was no sign of chaos at all, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked by the organization and management ability of the Shu army. Tens of thousands of Wei troops plus tens of thousands of ordinary people, adding up to more than 100,000 people, the resettlement of so many people is a difficult task.

However, the Shu army seems to be effortless to deal with, and it seems that the Shu army not only has soldiers who are brave in battle, but also has a very effective operation of the bureaucratic system with the army. Cao Xiu naturally didn't expect that the Hong army had fought all the way and captured countless enemies, and hundreds of thousands of captives like this were not unexperienced, and they were also in a hurry to deal with it at the beginning, but after experiencing a lot, they naturally summed up their experience.

In addition, the emperor is on his side, and there are countless civil officials and small officials accompanying him, and there are enough manpower to deal with these things. Cao Xiu was soon guided to a carriage, and He Senjun invited him to get into the carriage and took him around to the west and then to the north.

I don't know how long I walked, anyway, Cao Xiu saw an endless stream of people all the way in the carriage, these people were either the Shu army or the Wei army and the people who had been taken prisoner, so many people in different costumes were mixed together, and the impact on the vision was great, which made him a little dizzy.

Finally, he got out of the carriage, and He Senjun handed him over to another officer, and explained the situation to the officer, who nodded and continued with Cao Xiu. Cao Xiu found that there were no Wei troops and civilian prisoners here, and all the Shu troops were in full bloom, and these Shu troops were more powerful than what he had seen on the front road, and they were obviously the elite of the Shu army.

Cao Xiu was curious about where the Shu officer was going to take him, but he soon knew that he saw a huge tent in the distance, and a flag was erected high outside the tent, and the flag was a red background, embroidered with yellow gold thread with a five-clawed golden dragon with teeth and claws. Seeing this flag, Cao Xiu's pupils shrank suddenly, he knew that this was the dragon flag of Shu Han, also known as the imperial flag, which represented the emperor of Shu Han.

In fact, the dragon flag of the Han Dynasty was originally black-bottomed, but the little emperor didn't know why he preferred red, and the army was named Hongjun, and the flag was also red as the background color. He had cut off the flag with his own hands in his dreams countless times and trampled it under the horse's hooves. It's a pity that the reality is cruel, and the dream is often the opposite of the reality, when he is awake, he can only see or imagine that wherever this flag goes, the Shu army is like defeating the enemy.

Including their own troops, as long as they see this dragon flag, it means that their side is defeated, and as long as they see this dragon flag, it is the beginning of a nightmare. Seeing this dragon flag at this moment, Cao Xiu's breathing became short, and he wanted to draw ~ out the sword and jump up to cut off the dragon flag, but he touched ~ his waist, only to find that his sword had long been confiscated.

Looking at both sides, there are neatly arranged Shu troops with loaded guns, Cao Xiu only then woke up from his imagination, his current identity is just a prisoner, and he is no longer the general Zhennan who led his soldiers, jumped on the horse with a horizontal sword, and beheaded the general to capture the flag.
