In this battle, Lu Bu advanced lightly and was almost defeated, with a lot of losses, and the cavalry of Bingzhou suffered thousands of casualties, morale was damaged, and his general Zhang Yang was also injured.

In this regard, Lu Bu felt very frustrated, so he did not march further, but stayed in Yangle County to rest his troops.

Zhang Fei did not continue to march, and sent people to report the matter to Liu Bei, so he sent people to the east to continue to explore the movements of the Wuhuan people and launch a search for the enemy.

On the eighteenth day of the first month, Liu Bei led the main force to arrive in Yangle County, met Zhang Fei, and also met Lu Bu, who took the initiative to ask for guilt.

Liu Bei was dissatisfied with Lu Bu's rash attack and almost defeat.

"Feng Xian, the most taboo for a general is not to know oneself and know the other, blind impulsive, rashly send troops without preparation, hoping to defeat the enemy with a bloody bravery, but once the enemy counterattacks effectively, the blood and courage are exhausted and cannot win, the army will inevitably be defeated, don't you understand?"

Liu Bei looked at Lu Bu seriously, and Lu Bu looked ashamed.

"The last general is not effective in combat, and the enemy is rash, and he almost made a big mistake, and I ask the general to punish him!"

"This is not a matter of punishment or non-punishment, it is the loss that your underestimate enemy has brought to the army, you have to reflect on it, you must know your mistakes, how many people died in battle, how many people were injured and disabled!"

Liu Bei said bitterly: "To you, they are just a soldier, but to their family, they are irreplaceable sons, husbands, fathers, without them, how do you let their families conceive?"

Fengxian, you also have a family, have you ever thought about how your family will be sad when they learn the news that you died in battle? Have you ever thought that after you die in battle, your family, your descendants, they will be properly taken care of? Won't anyone bully them? ”

Lu Bu looked up at Liu Bei with a look of astonishment.

It was as if he had never thought about these questions.

"General, this ......"

"I know you may never have thought about such a thing before, you didn't care about their lives, but I have to tell you, from now on, you have to start thinking about it."

In front of the generals, Liu Bei said slowly: "From the first day I joined the army, my direct subordinates will tell them the meaning of joining the army and the meaning of going to the battlefield, as well as the meaning of protecting themselves and their companions.

I think you, and all of you here, must have some opinions about my rules, and think that they are too complicated, but what I want to do is to engrave the four words of respect for life into the heads of each and every one of you!

Your soldiers are not a string of numbers, but living people, flesh and blood, and families! You have the identity of husband, father, and son, and they also have the same identity.

If you die in battle, your family will be sad, and if a soldier dies in battle, won't their family be sad? I take them into battle, and I can't guarantee that each of them will leave alive, but I will do everything I can!

Food, medicine, daily necessities, strategic strategies, equipment, I have to do it all! In this way, even if there are casualties, I have a clear conscience, it is inevitable! It's beyond the reach of human beings, but what people can do, I have to do it all! Liu Xuande has acted all his life, but he asks for a clear conscience! ”

Liu Bei looked at Lu Bu solemnly: "Fengxian, let me ask you, do you have a clear conscience about the outcome of this matter?" ”

Liu Bei's voice rumbled in Lu Bu's ears like thunder, making Lu Bu stunned, stiffened, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Some of the people who accompanied him sighed, some sighed, looked at Lu Bu, and then looked at Liu Bei.

To be honest, most of the people who followed Liu Bei didn't quite understand why Liu Bei valued human life so much at first.

Most of them are still from good backgrounds, at least not pure grass people, so they naturally stand on the heads of ordinary people and look at the world, and have an indifferent attitude towards their lives.

And in this era, human life is really a less important existence.

In this era, no one shouts that human life is at stake, and no one has ever proposed this concept.

In this era, everyone's eyes are staring at the sky, afraid of the sky on the head, the sky is supreme, no one dares to say that their life is as important as the sky, and few people have too deep understanding of the concept of human life.

In this era, people generally don't care about other people's lives, some people don't even care about their own lives, people die when they die, and they don't see a few dead people every day, and they think it's a strange thing.

But in this era when no one cares about human life, there is a Liu Bei who cares about human life very much.

Regardless of whether his subordinates held positions or did not hold positions, as soon as he joined his group, he took the trouble to repeat the concept of human life over and over again, telling them to value human life and care about human life.

Just talk and don't practice fake tricks, just say no, but also look at the action.

Liu Bei is also a serious action.

In the whole army, only Liu Bei has set up a large-scale team of military doctors.

There are skilled military doctors, as well as skilled battlefield first responders, who will spend a fixed proportion of military spending on medicinal materials and medical equipment, and even have a medicinal material base dedicated to planting medicinal materials, and produce medicinal materials exclusively for the army.

When recruiting, those who are not very good in physical fitness but are hardworking and willing to work are included in the army and serve as battlefield first aiders.

The existence of this large-scale battlefield ambulance team has suppressed the injury and mortality rate in Liu Bei's army to the lowest point that can be achieved in this era, and it has also made the number of veterans in the army very large.

On the one hand, this has made the armed forces extremely combative, and on the other hand, an ideological concept of respecting life and caring for human life, which is very different from this era, has also taken root, grown, and spread in this army.

From the beginning, everyone thought it was indifferent and unnecessary, and in the end, everyone recognized it, and even took it for granted, from top to bottom, everyone believed so.

And more importantly, in the eyes of Liu Bei's subordinates, he is a very humane and trustworthy leader.

Because he even cares about the life of a small soldier, he cares so much about the life of a villain with a huge gap between his identity, so naturally, he will cherish their lives and will not treat them as "consumables" for power and profit.

Therefore, the mutual trust between the top and bottom of Liu Bei Group has also been established.

His subordinates did not think that Liu Bei was a ruthless leader who would use them as consumables for the sake of profit, and they trusted Liu Bei, so they did not have any unnecessary doubts about Liu Bei's orders.

An order is a simple order, unless it is specifically explained, it is an order in the literal sense, just do it, don't worry about anything, if something really goes wrong, Liu Bei will protect them.

This rare mutual trust between the top and bottom makes the loss within Liu Bei Group far lower than that of other groups, and it will also make people from outside feel a special atmosphere.

For example, Lu Bu didn't expect that Zhang Fei, who couldn't deal with him at all, would lead his troops to rescue him, and also saved the annihilation of the entire army of the Bingzhou Corps.

So, in the face of such a situation, in the face of Liu Bei's fierce questioning, Lu Bu, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, couldn't say a word of rebuttal, but thought from the bottom of his heart that he was wrong and should be punished.

He lowered his head and pursed his lips.

"The last general has a guilty conscience, the general has taught him a lesson, and he asks the general to punish him!"

Liu Bei looked at Lu Bu and was silent for a while.

"Fengxian, you and your subordinates are not my headquarters, I have never trained and taught you, Zi said, killing without teaching is abuse, I don't want to be a tyrannical person, and I don't want to do tyrannical things.

You have to solve this matter yourself, you go to face your subordinates and soldiers, properly settle them, restore morale, and before that, you don't follow the battle.

Also, this time I told you and taught you, I will not punish you, but if there is a next time, you fight with me and make the same mistake, then the military regulations are strict, and I can't spare you. ”

"The last will obey the order, and the last will not dare to forget ......"

Lu Bu accepted Liu Bei's order in a low mood, took two steps back, turned around and left Liu Bei's military tent.

Subsequently, Liu Bei no longer dwelled on this matter, but continued to hold meetings to discuss further strategic deployment.
