Ning Yiwu was really surprised in his heart, and before Zhuge Long finished speaking, his face had already shown a cold color, but remembering that this Aiqing had always had no last resort, he had to change his tone to a tactful, "Aiqing must have Aiqing's opinion, if it makes more sense than I thought, I will naturally accept the opinion!"

After finishing speaking, Ning Yiwu's face became calm.

Ning Yiwu was originally a person who rarely wrote anger on his face, thinking that those assassins who were sent by the emperor to assassinate him back then, he would have had the opportunity to ask for the lives of these killers, but in the end, he still let many people go back, only those killers who did anything to kill him, he would kill them with a sword.

Now the reason why Ning Yiwu wrote his anger on his face was that he felt in his heart that Zhuge Long's proposal was extremely unbelievable.

As the head of a sect, it is actually wrong to take the lead? In a war, if the commander does not take the lead, how can the soldiers bravely kill the enemy?

Ning Yiwu really couldn't figure it out, and his face naturally had a slight anger.

Zhuge Long is Ning Yiwu's henchman after all, not to mention that he is also a bold and outspoken Zhichen, naturally he will not change his inner judgment because of whether Ning Yiwu's face is happy or angry, stand up, and speak bluntly to Ning Yiwu, "May I ask why the sect master wants to take the lead?"

Ning Yiwu said sharply: "Of course, it is to boost morale, fighters, qi, that shadowless old man has always taken the lead, so the army he led has some combat effectiveness, although he is not a first-class strategist, but he is indeed a first-class military commander, this war is my Divine Sword Sect with less to more, if I don't come to the front line again, won't it make the soldiers feel cold?"

Ning Yiwu wanted to reject Zhuge Long's request in one go, but when he thought that this henchman had no last resort, he had to prick up his ears and listen carefully to his opinion.

Zhuge Long continued to ask: "Dare to ask the sect master, do you like to have you in command and move forward bravely, or do you like to be a soldier who has always been brave and forward, whether you are in command or not?"

Ning Yiwu replied without thinking: "Of course I like it, no matter whether I am in command or not, I have always been a brave soldier, and such a soldier can be independent!"

You don't have to think about this question, who likes to be a subordinate in front of one set and carry one on their backs?

Zhuge Long continued to clasp his hands, "Then the subordinate asks another question, how does the sect master think your reputation and prestige are compared to the shadowless old man?"

Ning Yiwu thought for a long time, and then said: "I can pat my chest and say this, his prestige and reputation in the Heavenly Domain are far inferior to mine, although he also has prestige and reputation, but this guy is careful, when he joined the army when he was young, he offended some wealthy families very much, and it was not until later that he relented! But some of his practices back then made his reputation not so good, and it was not until later that he understood Corporal Lixian a little. ”

Zhuge Long said: "Since the sect master already has such a reputation and prestige, and he also likes the latter kind of soldier who is like a soldier on the outside! Why do you want to go to the front line in person? Now the sect master has won the hearts of the people through the hard work and righteousness of his youth, and has also won the support of our Divine Sword Sect people, and if you are on the battlefield and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, then who will reward you for your merits?"

Ning Yiwu was speechless for a while.

Zhuge Long took advantage of the situation and said: "We have been preparing for this war for ten years, so the soldiers we selected are all warriors who want to make meritorious contributions, they have been trained by the sect master to be brave, and they are all warriors with one hundred, but because of the new order, they can no longer kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, they will not be able to get the corresponding rewards and titles, and their families will not be able to get more benefits." And the suzerain as the head of a sect personally goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy, which is equivalent to grabbing credit with the soldiers! At this time, the soldiers without ambition will rely on you because of your sitting, and thus become lazy, but the soldiers with ambition also complain to you because they cannot make meritorious contributions, war is a process of survival of the fittest, and it is always a narrow road when the brave wins, and once people have a dependence, they will not be able to be independent, and their hearts will become cowardly, just like those gentlemen, who have always been greedy for life and afraid of death.

And the aspiring soldiers will complain that you are the head of a sect because of your sitting, but you have robbed them of their merits, so how can the soldiers still move forward bravely! What's more, now the personal safety of the sect master is related to the fate of the entire Divine Sword Sect, and the truly loyal soldiers don't want you to take risks on the front line! Therefore, in ancient wars, as long as you master the way of winning with clear rewards and punishments, there has always been a precedent for winning the war in the rear, this is because they use generals instead of soldiers, suzerain, you have now become the commander, no longer the young generals of the Northern Expedition to the ice field, you already have many independent generals, such as the White Tiger Holy Envoy who is talked about by you, the Qinglong Holy Envoy, the Xuanwu Holy Envoy, the Vermilion Bird Holy Envoy, the White Tiger Holy Envoy has an impatient personality, you can be a pioneer, the Qinglong Holy Envoy has a serious personality, can supervise the Chinese army, the Xuanwu Holy Envoy has a good personality, can be a partial front, the Vermilion Bird Holy Envoy has a strong personality, and can be used as a surprise soldier, this is the performance of the sect master you use handsomeAnd the reason why those generals under the shadowless old man are incapable is precisely because he has always taken the lead, where do these subordinates have the opportunity to exercise?"

After Ning Yiwu heard this golden jade good words, he let out a long sigh, "I understand what you mean, but why did I take the lead in the Northern Expedition to the alien race, in the hinterland of the ice field, no one can stop me, this time I also want to do the same, but I never thought that I would have such drawbacks, since that pioneer had so many flaws, why did I succeed back then?"

Zhuge Long said: "The reason why the sect master achieved such a great victory back then was indeed because of the result of the sect master's taking the lead, and his subordinates never said that the leader violated the art of war, but the water is impermanent, and the soldiers are not normal. At that time, the suzerain commanded the righteous soldiers, the enemy soldiers, and some parents and children were slaughtered by foreign races of grief and indignation, such soldiers gathered together because of hatred and righteousness, and the suzerain took the lead at this time, which naturally played the role of the first soldier in the art of war, if at this time the suzerain still emphasized the ancients like the ancients in the rear to strategize and win thousands of miles away, it is impossible to achieve such brilliant results, the art of war says, the general who is good at using soldiers, knows what kind of soldiers he commands, this is the truth.

However, now the times are completely different, these soldiers under the command of the sect master now, they have no hatred in their hearts, they joined our Divine Sword Sect because of the new order of the sect master, they want not revenge, but meritorious service, the leader of such a soldier, the sect master can no longer be like the original, and then like back then, the head of the commander of one side and the soldiers talk and laugh together, and share weal and woe together!"

"Is it wrong to share the weal and woe with the soldiers, which is the foundation of the general?"

Ning Yiwu felt even more confused at this time, could it be that the art of war strategies he was familiar with in the past were all wrong?

"In the art of war, it is said that sharing weal and woe is the foundation of the general, that is for the commander of the righteous army, because the righteous army will not have their own thoughts in their hearts, they are all gathered together because of the righteousness, and the commander of such an army, of course, needs to share weal and woe! This is the reason why the suzerain was able to return home with a great victory in the ice field back then! However, when the general commanded the soldiers, did he share the weal and woe with the soldiers? His subordinates served under the general since he was a child, he never easily shared weal and woe with the soldiers, when the subordinates were young, they couldn't understand the truth, until now the subordinates have lived the age of the general, and then they can be regarded as understanding, if they become the commander of one side, then they can easily share the weal and woe with the soldiers, because in the regular army, there are all kinds of soldiers, there are volunteers, there are beneficial soldiers, there are broad-minded, there are narrow-minded, commanders such soldiers must do "pro-merit and extraordinary" We must not share weal and weal with those who share weal and woe with those who are willing, we must be close to those warriors who are willing to make meritorious contributions, and alienate those cowards who eat and wait for death, so as to ensure the neatness and unity of the army!"

Ning Yiwu then remembered his father's way of governing the army, back then their father and son had their own merits in governing the army, his father governed the army very well, never easily communicated with the soldiers, and never easily shared weal and woe, but he was different, he often seized the opportunity to talk and laugh with these soldiers, eat the same food together, and wear the same clothes.

But the father and son were out on the road, and they were able to win the battle with each other.

These two ways of governing the army are diametrically opposed, but they can both win battles, which often strikes him as incredible.

And now Ning Yiwu understands this truth.

Because his father commanded a first-class regular army back then, and he commanded a strange army composed of rangers, if he used his father's means to lead the rangers, he would definitely not be unable to win, and the same reason, using his own way of governing the army to lead the regular army of thousands of people, the same is the same reason.

Ning Yiwu understood Zhuge Long's good intentions at this moment, "You mean that you plan to let me establish a regular army like the previous Star and Moon Empire?"

It turned out that over the years, Ning Yiwu's method of governing the army was still the same as when he led the rangers, like a brother gang, which made Zhuge Long feel that it was not a good phenomenon in his heart, although under his weighing, this phenomenon had changed a lot, making the army of the Divine Sword Sect more and more regular, but the degree was not enough, so he planned to take this opportunity to completely cultivate the army of the Divine Sword Sect into a regular army with high efficiency.

Zhuge Long nodded, "The sect master is above, and the subordinates are exactly what they mean, and the subordinates are planning to use this war to let our Divine Sword Sect establish a regular army with a high efficiency and an extremely clear division of labor between the upper and lower levels, instead of just because of the brother's righteousness as before, the subordinates speak out, and hope that the sect master will forgive." ”

Ning Yiwu understood what he meant, but he still had doubts in his heart, "Then in your opinion, is it too early for us to form a regular army now, now our Divine Sword Sect's territory is not large enough, and the population is not too much!"

"Sect Master, if we don't build an efficient regular army now, by the time Zhao Dinglong and the others figure it out, we will be one step behind!" Zhuge Long continued to thank with both hands.

Ning Yiwu nodded, "Then in your opinion, how should we build a regular army?"

"We must use the majesty and justice of military law to restrain them, we must use reasonable favors to motivate them, we must let the soldiers who obey the order get rich rewards, and let the soldiers who resist the military order get the punishment in the eyes, only in this way can our Divine Sword Sect establish a real regular army, and only the heroes who have a regular army can finally dominate the world, if it is still like the suzerain who led the righteous army back then, talking and laughing with the soldiers together, and there is no difference between each other, it is difficult to succeed! And the real regular army, the commander of one army, does not need to be on the battlefield to kill the enemy in person!"
