Chapter 72 The Cure for the Root Cause Ahead of the Concept
Around the camp, more than 40,000 people roared in unison.
In the middle of the ocean, Lei Jin's blood was boiling, and he glanced at the clown-like figure in women's makeup not far away, and his mood was extremely complicated.
Because of the influence of inferior food and the unstable morale of the army, he, the commander, had nothing to do, and he was anxious, so he accepted Luo Ming's suggestion and wanted to play Lu An like a clown to vent his emotions.
But he never expected that the guy who had always looked down on him, and even got extremely tired of seeing it, actually made a mistake, and with just a war drum and a poem, he ignited the blood in the hearts of the soldiers, and the morale of the army reached its peak in an instant!
Similarly, the girls who came to perform with Lu An didn't expect that it was obviously a crisis that might threaten them at any time, but it was easily resolved by Lu An invisibly!
And this change continued into the march of the next day.
Even those who had not participated in the performance were a little puzzled.
In the past two days, those irritable soldiers, as if they had suddenly changed their appearance, not only did they no longer beat and scold them, nor did they tease the girls of the Light Smoke Pavilion anymore, but they were all in good spirits, as if they had inexhaustible strength, and the speed of the march was noticeably quickened.
A few of them were a little slower, and looked nervously at the escort soldiers, but found that those soldiers had no intention of scolding at all!
In just one night, there has been such a big change, and the most gratifying thing is naturally the coach Lei Jin.
Occasionally, Lei Jin would ride his horse back and forth, and when he arrived at Lu An and the others, he didn't stop, and directly urged the horse to chat a few words in Luo Ming's team in the rear army.
"Boss, look at it like this, we will definitely be able to rush to Suizhou at the specified time!"
Lei Jin smiled approvingly, then glanced at the people in the Light Smoke Pavilion who were sandwiched in the team in front of him, and patted Luo Ming on the shoulder.
"Well done! On the day of my victorious return, I will play the court and give you a great credit! ”
If it weren't for Luo Ming's proposal to let Lu An bring people to a performance, the military spirit would not have recovered so quickly.
However, Lei Jin's excitement lasted less than two days, and the situation deteriorated again.
Lu An's song "Man Jianghong" really stimulated the enthusiasm in the hearts of the soldiers in a short period of time.
It's a pity that no matter how infectious the chicken soup for the soul is, it is not as cruel as reality, and it is not a real panacea, and sooner or later it will be consumed.
The first to feel the subtle changes was naturally the group of fifty people from the Light Smoke Pavilion brought by Lu An.
After all, they were military camp prostitutes and had to worry about being whipped and insulted at all times.
"An Shao—"
Pan Qing, who was beside Lu An, nervously glanced at the escort soldiers whose faces were becoming more and more ugly, and subconsciously leaned towards him, for fear that those soldiers would be rude to them again.
Lu An also felt this change, and could only sigh secretly.
The imperial court did not bring a new batch of grain and grass for a day, and this team is afraid that something will happen sooner or later.
From leaving Beijing to now, there is still half the way, if you don't think of a way, not only will you miss the military situation, but they will also have bad luck with the prostitutes in the military camp.
"Why did it stop all of a sudden?"
Lu An looked up at the sky, and it was clear that it was not yet time to rest at noon, and the team actually stopped.
was curious, but suddenly heard a burst of shouting from a hundred meters ahead.
Luo Ming of the rear team rushed over on horseback and shouted loudly: "Rest on the spot!" ”
Everyone hurriedly untied the wrapped felt tent they were carrying, and they didn't care about the snow and cement on the ground, so they sat down directly.
Occasionally, someone looked curiously ahead.
A large group of gang leaders gathered together, and they were pitifully watching the gang roll on the ground.
"Military rations are so precious, you dare to deliberately overturn the grain truck, it is really an unforgivable sin!"
The thunder of rage, the whip in his hand rained down, and people were terrified to see it!
"General, stop fighting!"
"The captain didn't mean it, the general still spared this time, right?"
Finally, the onlookers couldn't stand it anymore and pleaded one after another.
In fact, Lei Jin also noticed that the dumping of the grain truck just now was just an accident.
It's just that when I saw that the team's marching speed was getting slower and slower, I was anxious, so I vented.
However, as soon as he dropped the horsewhip, he saw a soldier next to him suddenly kick on the grain bag, and the rice inside instantly flowed out.
"What about deliberateness!"
"Half of it is sand, where is it eaten by people!"
"Damn corrupt officials, they don't care about our lives and deaths, but let us go to the battlefield hungry to die!"
The surrounding soldiers were shocked when they saw this.
The fire that Lei Jin had just put down broke out again!
"Someone! Take him down! ”
The leader of the gang did not resist in the slightest, and his expression was stunned.
"Hehe, early death and late death are death, Lao Tzu would rather be executed now than die for those officials!"
Hearing this person's desperate confession, it immediately resonated with the soldiers around him, and even the two soldiers who tied him up loosened their hands a little.
Luo Ming hurriedly pulled Lei Jin aside and whispered, "Boss, the brothers are all upset, the marching speed has slowed down, in case this incident causes a mutiny, the consequences will be out of control!" ”
Lei Jin suddenly sobered up, glanced around, and immediately waved his hand and ordered, "Order!" ”
"The whole army is camped on the spot and buries the pot to cook!"
Although it is not time to rest yet, but in this state, it is useless to continue to hurry, so it is better to think of a way first.
Luo Ming nodded at Lu An in the rear, "Boss, while you're resting now, why don't you let them perform another show, maybe it will have a miraculous effect?" ”
A flash of brilliance flashed in Lei Jin's eyes, "Let's go!" ”
Soon, the two rushed to the vicinity of Lu'an, and the group of Qingyan Pavilion suddenly became nervous.
Fortunately, Lei Jin's face was calm at the moment, and he beckoned to Lu An, who hurriedly ran closer.
"Lu An, you should have noticed the situation just now, right?
The war ahead is changing rapidly, if you can't get to Suizhou as scheduled, everyone will be unhappy, why don't you bring someone to perform the "Man Jianghong" for the brothers again to stimulate morale? ”
Hearing this, Lu An shook his head with a wry smile, "General Lei, haven't you heard of drug resistance?" ”
Lei Jin's eyes were confused.
This means that if a sick person cannot find the pathogen and cannot treat both the symptoms and the root cause, no matter how many times he takes the medicine, it is useless, and after a long time, the patient will become resistant to the drug and cause the opposite effect.
It's like the previous song "Man Jianghong", which only stimulated the enthusiasm of the soldiers for a while, but if the fundamental problem is not solved, there will be problems sooner or later. ”
After explaining, Lei Jin finally understood a little, "General Ben also understands that if there is no new military ration delivered in time, the brothers will definitely have problems, but there is no other way at the moment, why don't you try again?" ”
The chief general of the first army, and he has always been unapologetic to Lu An, if he wasn't really cornered, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so low-voiced.
Lu An hesitated and said seriously, "If General Lei is willing, there is a way to try." ”
Lei Jin was overjoyed when he heard this, "As long as you can boost the morale of the army and let the team rush to Suizhou as scheduled, you can try!" ”
"Then let's go." Lu An pointed to the place where the gang leader was camped in front of him and walked first.
