"Yes. Zishou also felt a little hungry, and when he saw the chess game on the case, he raised his hand and knocked over the chessboard, and said, "Okay, since that's the case, let's eat some food first." ”

He turned to Lu Xiong, who was just about to fall, and said, "Go, old general, go with me." ”

"Yes. Lu Xiong looked thoughtfully at the chess pieces scattered all over the ground.

"Someone!" Yu Hualong turned around and shouted, "Don't hurry up and escort Your Majesty into the customs!"

"Yes!" Yu Hualong's five sons Yu Da, Yu Zhao, Yu Guang, Yu Xian, and Yu De came over, and his son was the proudest thing in his life, although he was not as good as Ji Chang, but he had one more than Huang Feihu and two more than King Xu, and they were all brave and good at fighting, blessings!

The five of them were fully armored, and they clasped their fists and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please, the ministers and others have prepared delicacies in Guanzhong, and the delicacies of the army are also well prepared." ”

"The delicacies of the army are not necessary. Zishou shook his head and looked out of the tent.

"Why not? If you don't go to the customs and rest, don't you let the tired soldiers have some food?"

Yu Hualong's expression was extremely weird, the dry food of the march and the ordinary food must not be compared, and it was too harsh to criticize the soldiers....

Lu Xiong shook his head secretly, after a night of fighting and talking, he knew how to lead this slave-born army of soldiers and horses, but the others had not been mentioned by His Majesty, and it was difficult to see the deep meaning, including Yu Hualong, an experienced battlefield general, who was also unclear, His Majesty really used soldiers like a god.

Zishou walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army in a few steps, turned around and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order, the vigil is over, change the guard at this moment, make a fire to cook, I will go to the pass to eat something first!"

“....”

The soldiers were just silent, they couldn't even enter the gate to rest during the day, and they even had to cook their own meals.

"General Lu, General Li, General Yin..... A cadre of lieutenant generals, go with me!"

"Don't dare..."

"What don't you dare?" Zi Shou showed a majestic look on his face: "I will issue an order today, prohibiting the general from sleeping and eating with the soldiers, the general eats fine food and wine, sleeps softly, and the soldiers eat marching dry food and sleep in the camp tent!"

"For the generals, the winter is to wear the fur, the summer is to operate the fan, the rain is to cover the cloth, to their own importance, there is no need to know the cold and heat of the soldiers; if out of the pass, mud, will have to step down, and the soldiers go down first, do not need to worry about the labor of the soldiers. ”

"The military well has not been drawn, the soldiers cannot be thirsty, they will be able to; the military food is not ripe, the soldiers cannot be thirsty, the generals can be; the arms have not been burned, the soldiers cannot be said to be cold, they will be able to; the military curtain has not been applied, the soldiers cannot be said to be sleepy, they will be able to put their desires first, and the soldiers will be hungry and full. ””

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little silent, Zishou emphasized again: "This is a military order, do you hear it?"

Look at who share the weal and sorrow with the soldiers and love the soldiers like children?

Wu Qi, Li Guang, Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang....

Although the ending of these people is not very good, it cannot be denied that they can win battles and are deeply loved by the soldiers, and they are all famous generals of the generation through the ages!

"Yes..."

Seeing that the soldiers were all dissatisfied, Zishou raised his hand with satisfaction and said, "The generals and above in the army will enter the customs with me!"

Along the way, other generals had different colors, but Lu Xiong opened a new door.

It is beneficial to treat soldiers well, but it is necessary to distinguish between generals and soldiers who are soldiers.

First of all, there is the issue of class, which is the limitation of this era, it is necessary to distinguish between the upper and lower classes, and the soldiers call them brothers and sisters to eat and live together, the old general with prestige may be nothing, like Gao Jineng, a young general who has no merit and can't suppress the soldiers, what should I do?

We are all brothers, so why should we listen to you? Why do you say what you say? Aren't you brothers of equal status? How can those soldiers listen to orders?

What's more, the general and the commander are the soul of the army, so it is natural to focus on the general.

What if you are treated the same as the soldiers, do not wear a woolen jacket in winter and fan in summer, and get sick?97 Chinese

When you get to the muddy swampy land, what if the general goes first and can't get out?

Although the words are not so good, but this is a fact, the soldier is sick, dead, and unable to leave, and it has no effect on the army of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, but if the commander of this army has an accident, the impact will be great, and the combat effectiveness will drop by 30 percent, and the blow to morale will not be small.

The second is a question of trust, of course, not the trust of the soldiers in the general, but the trust of the kings and ministers of the court in the general.

The general leading the army outside is a matter that is feared by others, and it is easy to rebel with military power.

If this general happens to love soldiers like a son and is deeply loved, and the soldiers obey the general's orders, what does this make the people in the court think?

Even if there is no antipathy, and I am afraid that someone with a heart will calculate, I will use this as a reason to suspect, and then attack and make false accusations, so that the people's hearts are not aligned and the battle will not be good.

If the monarch is as wise as the king and has the ability to judge himself, then it is better to say something, if he is a mediocre king, then wait to be deposed and abandoned, after all, the relationship with the soldiers is too good, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if it is a little miserable, and encounters an incompetent king, then wait for the unjustly killed, and even the corpse is not dared to be collected, and it is not impossible to be tortured by the car splitting and dismembering.

Moreover, if you are too close to the soldiers, it will be difficult to punish.

For example, if you get lost, the army is lost and it has little to do with the coach, you have to blame the guide for not being able to do it, and you have to blame the detective horse for not exploring the road, and the coach is not a local, and it is normal for outsiders to not find the way.

However, if he gets lost and delays the fighter, or if it causes more serious consequences, the small soldier will certainly not be able to bear such a charge, and the general will love the soldier like a son, and he will certainly be embarrassed to severely punish the people below.

Replace the small soldiers with a general who has the ability to lead the army, which is a loss to grandma's family.

Moreover, the crime of committing all sides of the crime of the great merchant is in all directions, what is required is that the crime is clear, the relationship between the soldiers and soldiers is close, it is easy to fall lightly, even if it is ruthless according to the military order, it is not good to have a tearful chopping XX, the military order is like a mountain, you cry in love, you can, Yu Li, it is normal to cut the military order, why cry? That is not in vain to bring negative emotions to the three armies? The guilty person still earns tears when he dies?

In addition to these, Lu Xiong feels that the most important point is military merit.

The reason why a general can become a general is not only because he has the ability to lead the army, but also because of his merits.

Even Wen Zhong was killed from among the small soldiers.

If there is merit, then why can't there be preferential treatment?

Soldiers also want good treatment, so simple, under the military merit system, to kill the enemy!

At this time, the general's generous and extravagant treatment will become the motivation of the big-headed soldiers below.

As for whether the general does not share the weal and woe with the soldiers, whether the soldiers can follow him, this is very simple.

If the general has the ability and can lead the army to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, even if the relationship between the general and the soldier is not good, will the soldier not follow the general?

This is the same reason as those noble caravans, many people hate those noble lords who are high-ranking nobles, but are they still employed by the caravans of the nobles to travel between the north and the south?

Why? Because there's money to be made!

The march is also a truth, and for the soldiers, it is more practical to be able to make meritorious contributions than anything else.

Such a relationship is purer and less suspicious of the king.

After all, the "title of Marquis" after obtaining the "merit" is in the hands of the monarch, in short, the general is to lead the soldiers to earn money, and the monarch is to give money to the soldiers, who has the final say, it is obvious.

Lu Xiong sighed a lot, and this night and day, he felt that he had been sublimated.

The seemingly impersonal and ruthless military order issued by His Majesty in front of the army just now was actually the last teaching to him before the Western Expedition!

It can be described as the real way of the general!

Lu Xiong's rough and calloused hands have been gathered into fists, and His Majesty has tried his best to secretly point out all this for the sake of his prestige, which shows how high the expectations are for this western expedition.

Expedition to the west, Xu victory, no defeat!
