He recalled it carefully, when Ziqi rebelled, didn't His Majesty also leave him in the palace and play a few games of chess?

It was also those chess games that His Majesty deliberately lost, which increased his confidence in counterinsurgency.

Lu Xiong's face was solemn, His Majesty must have hidden some mystery in this chessboard.

Although he knew that the rapid march of the King of Xuan was to exhaust the gratitude of this slave-born army to him, Lu Xiong still couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty marched all the way, harsh soldiers, and the soldiers were dissatisfied, is it a little too much?"

"It's over?" Zishou was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, and that's it.

If you don't overdo it and be harsh, how can you earn mediocrity?

Zi Shou Luozi: "It's your turn!"

"The minister is really puzzled, his heart is depressed, and please ask Your Majesty to solve your doubts!" Lu Xiong casually gave a son and asked: "Your Majesty broke through the limit of the soldiers with a rapid march, and taught them the cruelty of the battlefield, and finally arrived at this Tongguan, the soldiers are overjoyed, just let them be stationed in the pass, have a good rest, entertain, and give generous treatment, in this way, it will definitely be able to stabilize the morale of the army, and the morale will be raised to a higher level.

What with what?

Zishou frowned, I asked you to play chess with me to pass the time, what are you telling me about all this nonsense?

He rolled his eyes and said, "You, the utilitarian heart is too heavy. ”

"Ah?" Lu Xiong's expression was stunned, and he asked himself, in terms of seniority and age, he is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, in terms of official status, he is high in the military department, but even so, he is not too chasing fame and fortune, that is, Yuedan has given a bad review that has no power to tie the chicken, and he doesn't particularly care, how can he be too utilitarian?

So Lu Xiong bowed his head and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to solve the confusion of the ministers!"

"Utilitarian. Zishou opened his mouth and said while falling: "However, my so-called utilitarian heart does not mean that the old general is seeking fame and profit, but that you are too purposeful. ”

"Everything is done with a purpose, and everything is for the purpose of calculation, and I ask you, must all things be used as a means to restrain people's hearts?"

"It's not a means, as the commander of an army, shouldn't he treat the soldiers well?" Lu Xiong took a deep breath, becoming more and more puzzled, his heart was like a chess piece on a chessboard, disorganized and extremely scattered.

Lu Xiong was a little angry, and said word by word: "Your Majesty forced the soldiers to march quickly, and rushed to Tongguan day and night, so that the soldiers could break through the limit in order to meet the big battle that would happen soon.

"Huh?"

The son is confused, what are you talking about this old man?

Am I really too idle to fix these inexplicable things?

He took a sip from the wine lord next to him, suppressing his shock.

Also treat the soldiers well, is the next step to suck pus from the soldiers?

Zishou immediately looked at Lu Xiong with a sincere look and said, "It must be the old general who misunderstood." ”

Feeling the two sincere eyes, Lu Xiong's heart was also a little shaken, could it be that he misunderstood His Majesty's meaning?

Lu Xiong frowned, the chess pieces were held in the palm of his hand, and they did not fall for a long time.

After a few moments, he came to his senses.

He was wrong, His Majesty is still that Majesty after all, he sees a longer term than him, and has a big picture that no one can match.

It is indeed right to treat soldiers well, where the benefits are, the people will return to them, the name will be revealed, and the soldiers will die.

As the commander of an army, he can be gracious and powerful, can reward and punish clearly, can care for and sympathize with soldiers, and can love soldiers like children....

So many means can be used together to restrain the morale of the soldiers, so that the soldiers are willing to follow their lives.

But for these slave-born soldiers, they can't blindly care about and sell well, they are different from the regular army before.

It's the same reason as the previous rapid march that made them abandon their gratitude to the king and start fighting for the country.

Depending on each person's experience, sometimes, there will be some differences in the understanding of the same thing.

It's like walking in an alley, and if someone stops him, he will stop to see who it is.

But Shi Yan was walking in the alley because of the release of the Yuedan review, and was beaten into the medical school with a sack and an old punch, so when he walked through the alley again after recovering from his injury, suddenly a person came from the dark and stopped him, he definitely would not stop, and ran faster than anyone else.

That's the difference.

So what is the difference between a soldier born as a slave and an ordinary soldier?

Even if these people become soldiers, the inferiority complex that has penetrated into the bone marrow for many years will not change easily, but it is hidden under the surface.

Lu Xiong knew very well that when the king ordered a rapid march before the emperor, many soldiers had the idea that "being enslaved like this is no different from a slave", and they never forgot their experience as slaves.

They have low self-esteem, they are vigilant, these are the characteristics of people from low backgrounds, not to mention that they have any kindness or good treatment, they can be changed.

Because of these qualities, if they are too good to them, they will feel that they are being calculated and used, and they will inevitably be vigilant, how can they fight the battlefield?

To tell the truth, if the king gives the slaves the opportunity to turn over, liberate them from the nobles, give them official status, and let them become commoners or join the army, he has already risked the condemnation of the world, which is already a great kindness, and if he does more and gives more benefits, it will only make them feel unworthy and afraid.

"I see!" Lu Xiong's face was bright, he was indeed the first time to take slaves, and he didn't know too much about the army composed of slaves, so it really depends on Your Majesty!

He looked straight at Zishou and said, "If it weren't for His Majesty's mention, the minister would have missed a big deal!"

Speaking of this, Lu Xiong couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, after all, he was the commander of this western conscription horse.

Lu Xiong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty means that you will treat people with sincerity, and people will treat each other with sincerity, and buy the hearts of the army by means, but disturb the morale of the army and make the soldiers worried. ”

Zishou now really wants Qian Bao to study craniotomy, Lu Xiong is a good test subject, look at how this old guy's brain grows, and he can come up with such an irrelevant thing in a few words.

"Your Majesty?"

"Ah?" Zi Shou came back to his senses, how can he treat people with sincerity? He hurriedly said: "Treat people with sincerity, and you can't!"

"Oh...... Yes!"

Lu Xiong is a little confused, and it is not good to use small means to win the hearts of the army, nor can he treat people with sincerity, so what should he do?

"Play chess, play chess. ”

This time, the child was obedient, not much to say, just play chess, chess is just a very conventional way of playing, there are mutual wins and losses, there is no deliberate loss, after all, sometimes too deliberate, it is always easy to backfire, anyway, he just wants to pass the time.

Nothing happened overnight.

Early the next morning.

"Your Majesty, Yu Hualong asks to see you!"

"Biography. ”

"Huh?"

Yu Hualong looked at the chess game on the table and the two who seemed to have not slept all night, and wondered: "Could it be... Your Majesty, like the old general and the soldiers of the night watch, did not close his eyes all night?"

"It's just because I don't have any sleepiness, and I just played chess with the old general all night, don't think about it. ”

Zishou smiled, look, it's plain and ordinary.

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh, that's right..."Yu Hualong scratched his head and said: "The army arrived suddenly, and the ministers were not well prepared, so that the army had to be stationed outside the pass. ”
