In a study room in the palace, Zhu Long, Wu Yong, Xiao Rang, Lu Zhishen, Qin Ming, Hua Rong, Yang Zhi, and Sun Li gathered around the huge sandalwood square table and chatted in a meeting.

On the table is a simple map, chatting a few strokes, outlining a map of the defense of a city. The ink on the paper was not dry, apparently freshly drawn.

This is Zhu Long's favorite way to hold meetings, everyone gets together, speaks freely, bursts out of ideas and inspirations, communicates, and can always get from being spoken.

Like in the lobby, he is high, and the generals sit on both sides, which cannot be called a meeting, but can only be announced in public.

The atmosphere in the room was relaxed and casual, but the door was heavily guarded, and Lu Fang with a team of heavily armed guards was scattered around the study to guard, and no one dared to approach.

"First of all, please tell me how the situation is in Dong'e County." Zhu Long looked at Hua Rong.

Hua Rong was about to stand up, Zhu Long's hand pressed down, motioned for him to sit down, he sat down, pointed to the map, and said: "Dong'e County is not high, not big, there are a lot of soldiers, at least about three thousand and a half, but they are all untrained van soldiers, most of them are veterans, and it is impossible to work hard."

After the defeat of the army, Guan Shengneng led them to retreat to Dong'e County in an orderly manner, which is already very remarkable, but if you want them to go out of the city to fight, I am afraid it will be difficult.

It is said that Cheng Wanli wanted to put all the responsibility for the loss of the city on Guan Sheng's head, and the relationship between the two was tense. Can we do something about this? ”

Wu Yong said with a smile: "This journey is really stupid, shirking responsibility only needs to secretly contact the backers of the DPRK and China, but he is known to everyone, and there is discord between civil and military!" ”

Hua Rong also smiled, "It is said that when he was in Dongping Mansion, he pretended to be unconscious and let Guan Sheng retreat, and after arriving in Dong'e County, he pretended not to know and reprimanded Guan Sheng, thinking that everyone else was a three-year-old child." ”

Zhu Long lowered his head and pondered, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the desk, everyone saw this, and they didn't speak, for fear of disrupting his train of thought.

Wu Yong's heart moved, understood Zhu Long's thoughts, and said with a smile: "The lord wants to take the opportunity to subdue Guan Sheng?" ”

"I really have this intention, this person is strong in martial arts and has the ability to command troops, I really like it."

"Don't worry, the lord can force him to surrender with a little trick!" Wu smiled confidently.

There was no need to guess, Zhu Long also knew that he was full of bad ideas, so he shook his head and said, "Last time, I could have captured him, but in order to subdue his heart, I let him go again."

Brethren must follow me willingly, or I would rather not. I have said many times that we are like-minded and righteous together, and if we are not all the way, we cannot force it. Even if you are all the brothers here, if he has a great future in the future, just tell me, and I will only be happy for him, and I will never hinder him. Everyone comes clearly, and everyone walks clearly! ”

Zhu Long's words are very righteous, and he usually does this, everyone sees that even if some people disagree with this approach in their hearts, they have to admire his fairness.

"Then are we going to attack Dong'e County?" Yang Zhi asked.

He had just joined the Zhu family and was anxious to make meritorious contributions to prove himself.

Zhu Long knew his ability, but he didn't know that Zhu Long knew, for fear that Zhu Long would look down on him.

He is a very utilitarian person, as Yang Lao Linggong, he wants to restore the glory of his ancestors, but when he escorted Hua Shigang, the ship capsized; escorted the birth gang, was robbed again, and the two failed experiences made him not very confident.

Zhu Long didn't answer directly, and looked at Wu Yong, "What do you think, military advisor?" ”

Wu Yong asked rhetorically without answering: "What is the benefit of laying down Dong'e County for us?" ”

Advantage?

The generals looked at each other and couldn't answer.

Wu Yong said with a smile: "The cost of fighting a war is huge, and there are also dead and wounded soldiers, if there is no clear purpose, you can't use swords and soldiers." ”

Seeing that no one refuted, Zhu Long said: "Since this is the case, it will be according to what the military advisor said." Dong'e County is not an important place, and there is no benefit in defeating it, so we can send people to monitor it, and there is no need to attack! Is there anything else you can do? ”

After a while, no one spoke, and Zhu Long was about to say something about the whole army's martial arts competition, when Wu Yong suddenly got up and said very seriously: "There are two things, please decide!" ”

Seeing this, Zhu Long was a little surprised, "What is it that makes the military advisor so solemn?" ”

"First, the generals of our army are separated, and now in Dongping Mansion, our army has three battalions of gold, wood, and water The main generals are not in their positions, Lin Jiaotou is sitting in Zhujiazhuang, Luan Jiaotou is sitting in Liangshan, and the third master is far away to Qingzhou, all of them are under the command of deputy generals, and the Jinzi battalion is not even the two deputy generals of Xie Zhen and Jiebao, the soldiers and generals are separated, and the army is uneasy, if a big war breaks out, I am afraid that there is a risk of poor command!"

Zhu Long said solemnly: "What the military advisor said is very true, and when the competition is over, I will make adjustments." ”

He also has a hard time, at present, in the Zhu family's army, there are only four people who can sit on one side with qualifications and prestige.

Qin Ming and Zhu Hu have irritable and impulsive personalities, and can only do the work of charging into battle.

And Sun Li's character made Zhu Long feel at ease, and he had to put it under his nose.

Hua Rong, Wu Song, and Yang Zhi have no problem with their abilities, but their prestige and qualifications are not enough, which will make others unconvinced and affect unity.

Seniority sounds derogatory, but it can't be avoided, even in officialdom and the workplace a thousand years later.

A newcomer works hard, and the old employee is lazy and fishing, he can still understand, after all, he is old. But if he joins the company together, or even a newcomer who is even later, then his mentality is immediately unbalanced.

Some old employees who were originally hard-working and complaining, when they saw that a new young man had done nothing, suddenly climbed on their heads, and instantly became disheartened or resigned and jumped ship.

If you let Hua Rong or Wu Song go to Zhujiazhuang and give orders, I wish the tiger reconciliation and treasure the treasure to bird him?

Therefore, although Zhu Long knew the abilities of these three, he still had to wait for them to make merits before being promoted, so that others had nothing to say.

"And what about the second thing?" Zhu Long asked Wu Yong.

Wu Yong got up and left the table, pacing back and forth in the study, looking meditative, everyone looked at him, quietly waiting for him to speak.

"If the name is not right, it is not good! The ancient holy king, who killed the sins and hung the people, must first list the sins of the enemy and affirm that he was forced to raise a rebel army. If you raise a teacher for no reason and raise a sword in vain, you will be abandoned by the world!

Now that we occupy the state capital, what is the righteousness? What do the people of the world think of us? ”

Zhu Long was struck by lightning and stood there for a long time.

Of course, he knew that rebellion was also about shouting slogans and winning the support of public opinion.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's "Princes and Princes Will Xiangning Have a Kind of Hu", Zhang Jiao's "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious", and Li Zicheng's "King Chuang is coming and does not pay for food"...... Even Song Jiang shouted the slogan of "walking for the sky", not to mention the future generations, the soldiers and horses did not move, and the slogan was shouted first.

How could he, a man from hereafter, forget this?

It really shouldn't be!

The role of slogans is very important, it can play a role in brainwashing, unite people internally, win sympathy and recognition externally, and enable a purely military rebel group to be sublimated into a new political force.

It's like "doing the right thing for heaven", who knows what it means, I'm afraid Song Jiang can't tell it clearly, right?

But it sounds lofty, and it instantly occupies the moral high ground, and everyone kills people and sets fires, and they are at ease.

"If it weren't for the military advisor's reminder, there would be a big mistake!" Zhu Long couldn't help but sigh, Wu Yong really has a deep study of rebellion!
