Chapter 91: Winning the Trust of Danyang Soldiers (First update, please be the first to order! 16)
Just looking at the wolf-like eyes of the soldiers in front of him, Liu Feng believed that this time there would never be any response like before. life.
If the same thing happens again, these soldiers will definitely swarm up and compete to serve in order to get the reward.
Liu Feng saw this and was very satisfied. Under the eager and eager eyes of the soldiers, he lived up to expectations and raised his hand towards Tian Dan and others in the distance.
After Tian Dan and the others saw the wave, they pulled a cart and rushed over.
When the Danyang soldiers saw this scene, they were so excited that they began to fight for the first row, forcing the officers to stand up again to maintain order.
It's a pity that this time there was no silk, no corn, and no copper coins or gold cakes in the car.
There are only four pork fans on the cart, weighing about thirty kilograms, and there is a bucket of pig bones and sewage next to it.
"It's my first time to come to the camp today, so I always want to reward everyone."
Liu Feng pointed at the cart and shouted: "But in addition to the reward I just gave to Niu Erling, Of money and food, these are the only big fat pigs left.”
"The next training will definitely be very hard, but not everyone can eat meat at night."
"Because that's all the meat is!"
"Everyone still remembers What did I just say?"
"Reward to those who have merit!"
"The one who trains the best eats the meat! The one who trains the second best chews the bones and eats the water. ! The one with the least training is Ma Mi! ”
After announcing the rules, Liu Feng finally shouted: "Those with merit will be rewarded, and those with the best training will eat meat! Do you understand it!?"
"I understand it!"
Under the leadership of the officer, the soldiers on the entire school field replied loudly: "Those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who have the best training will eat meat!"
"Good!"
Liu Feng nodded with satisfaction. head.
Xiahou Bo and Fu Shiren looked at each other in the distance, watching the Danyang soldiers' morale change from lifeless to high fighting spirit. All of this was just the result of Liu Feng's transformation in half an hour.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, Xiahou Bo and Fu Shiren would never believe it. They would only think that some villain was bragging and flattering without shame.
But now, the "villains" are probably the two of them.
Thinking of going back to meet Liu Bei at night, they both began to have a headache on how to explain to Liu Bei what Liu Feng had done.
Next, Liu Feng divided the team of one thousand people into three square formations in three units, and then practiced stance.
Standing actually consumes a lot of physical strength and willpower, and the physical fitness of the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty was far less strong than that of people of later generations.
Although they can endure hardships and stand hard work, their physical constitution is really not good, and the strength they show is more like a burning of vitality.
It is a great blessing to be able to eat just pickles and corn. It is common to eat two meals in three days when you are hungry. The upper limit of such nutritional intake has long been locked.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, among the generals in the Three Kingdoms era, the ones with the worst backgrounds were rangers, and most of them were from poor families.
Isn’t the fundamental reason because these people have been eating meat since they were young, or are they able to eat meat?
Therefore, Liu Feng divided the entire training into modules based on half an hour. The specific training content was to stand in a military posture and walk in military steps.
These soldiers are all veterans with certain combat experience and military formation fighting skills. Their biggest shortcomings are military discipline and morale.
Liu Feng only had more than a month. If he wanted to train his troops and achieve results in such a short period of time, he had to make up for his shortcomings first.
It just so happens that Danyang Bing’s shortcomings are the easiest to improve.
In the next time, every half hour, Liu Feng would ask the soldiers to sit down and have a rest, and replenish the tea with salt.
He even prepared a small pot of cane sugar water just in case.
Sure enough, after about an hour and a half of training, the first person who collapsed appeared.
Tian Dan and the others hurried forward, pulled the collapsed person out of the queue, sent them aside, and then fed him sugar water.
There is a doctor nearby to check the situation.
Although Liu Feng feels that this kind of doctor is really of little use, at least for people of this era, he is still very trustworthy.
In this case, these doctors are useful, after all, placebos actually have real therapeutic effects.
When the Danyang soldiers first started, their morale was quite high, and they had the temptation to eat meat at night, so they could persist.
But as more and more people collapsed, morale inevitably declined, and the boring standing and walking were indeed difficult for these soldiers to understand.
At this time, Liu Feng was standing at the front, advancing and retreating with these soldiers.
Train together and rest together.
This also silenced the complaints of all the dissatisfied people.
This training lasted until evening, and the sun was already setting.
The pork has long been sent to the kitchen for cooking, and it is not very delicious. With so many people eating, the only way to use it is to boil it in water, which is the simplest and most convenient method. Only this time, salt It's enough, and a lot of cabbage is put in, which is definitely worthy of a reward.
In the school grounds, the results of the competition between the three soldiers have come out.
Unexpectedly, Cao Meng's troops actually won the championship, followed by Xu Sheng's troops, and Pan Zhang's troops were at the bottom.
The difference between the three groups is not big, and the soldiers would have been dissatisfied.
The person who announced this result was Liu Feng, who had been training with them all afternoon.
At the same time, while announcing the result, Liu Feng also explained in detail the reasons for such punishment, which convinced the Danyang soldiers.
Liu Feng's judgment is based on the proportion of exhausted people, the team's walking formation, the state of the soldiers who persisted until the end, and some personal bonus points.
Liu Feng explained every item clearly to the soldiers in plain language.
For example, why should scores be judged based on the number of people who have collapsed? Because all soldiers should be a whole, and everyone is a comrade, a brother, and a comrade-in-arms. If something happens to a brother in his family, can others stay out of it?
Obviously not.
So when fighting outside, once the army collapses and the battle is lost, can everyone stay out of it?
Obviously not!
Therefore, helping your comrades is helping yourself.
We should love and care for our colleagues as brothers.
Only by uniting as one can we win every battle.
In just one day, Liu Feng has initially established the authority to share joys and sorrows in the hearts of these Danyang soldiers, and he is also trying his best to instill in these Danyang soldiers concepts such as unity, friendship, obedience to discipline, and orders.
Although this authority has only just been established and is extremely unstable, it is a good start.
“It seems that the young master has no need of us today.”
Fu Shiren patted his butt, stood up, and looked at Xiahou Bo.
Seeing that the Danyang soldiers in the school grounds were about to have dinner, the young master should be returning to the mansion, and they happened to escort him along the way.
Xiahou Bo touched his chin, still thinking about Liu Feng's military training method: "Ren, where do you think the young master learned this military training method? How come I have never heard of it, but look at the young master When the leader was training troops, he seemed to be very organized, not like he was acting randomly."
Fu Shiren shook his head: "I don't know, just standing like this, you can't kill the enemy, right? After all, we have to use swords and guns."
After thinking for a while, Xiahou Bo nodded slowly: "Yes, Ren, you are right, there will always be a time when we can be useful."
< br>
Originally, Xiahou Bo and Fu Shiren were already preparing to leave the school grounds with Liu Feng.
Unexpectedly, Liu Feng did something beyond their imagination.
Liu Feng even personally cut some of the meat for the victorious Cao Meng, and gave the cabbage stewed in water and big bones to Xu Sheng's tribe.
Finally, he actually walked to Pan Zhang's tribe who had lost the training, found a group of people to sit down, and ate corn rice with the soldiers around him.
“Eat all of you, aren’t you hungry?”
While Liu Feng was chewing the corn in his mouth, he called the soldiers around him to eat together: "Gentlemen, although there is no meat today, the corn is enough. You are welcome, feel free to eat more."
Seeing Liu Feng eating corn in big mouthfuls, the soldiers around him felt a little embarrassed.
Someone boldly asked Liu Feng: "Young Master, why do you come to our place to eat? I mean, even if you want to stay to eat, why don't you go there to eat? After all, there are still There is meat to eat."
Liu Feng looked up at the soldier and asked, "What is your name?"
There was a scar on this soldier's face, which was obviously caused by a long sword.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, everyone could survive such an injury. It was obvious that Wang Gui had a hard life and quite good luck.
Wang Gui’s question instantly silenced Liu Feng’s surroundings.
In fact, not only Wang Gui, almost all the soldiers were curious about this question, but they were not as bold as Wang Gui and dared to ask Liu Feng directly.
"Your Majesty, I said at noon that from today on, I will be the king of all the kings. If the kings win, I will have merit, and if the kings lose, I will have faults."
Liu Feng explained seriously to Wang Gui and the surrounding Danyang soldiers who were eavesdropping: "Although you lost today, you tried your best, and it is not without a chance of winning. You can win if you work harder tomorrow." "Exit."
"But after all, we lost today. You are my subordinates. If you lose, then I, the commander, must have done something wrong, and I should be punished together with you!"
Liu Feng's answer shocked the soldiers. When had these people ever seen a nobleman like Liu Feng who was willing to share joys and sorrows with them?
Not to mention that Liu Feng not only did not complain about their loss, but also encouraged them to keep up their efforts and strive for victory. He also suffered punishment and hardship with them, which made the Danyang soldiers feel as if they were in a dream.
The question and answer between Liu Feng and Wang Gui gradually spread. Not only Xu Sheng, who was gnawing bones and eating the water next to him, heard about it, but also Cao Meng, who was eating meat.
These people are no different from the Danyang soldiers around Liu Feng, and they naturally think the same way.
For a while, the school grounds fell silent, and even the meat in Cao Meng’s hands seemed to lose its flavor.
If these soldiers were given a chance to choose at this time, I don’t know how many of them would choose to continue eating meat, and how many would choose to eat corn with Liu Feng.
Liu Feng seemed to feel these emotions. He stood up and shouted to the other two minions: "Gentlemen, you are today's winner, and you should enjoy the fruits and rewards. Why? How can you be so depressed!"
"You may win today and eat meat, but you may not win tomorrow. You must keep up your efforts and eat meat with the winner tomorrow!"
"Here!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately grinned and greeted Liu Feng loudly.
That night, Liu Feng did not return home and stayed in the military camp.
The morale of Danyang soldiers was greatly boosted, and they gradually gained Liu Feng's trust.
Xiahou Bo and Fu Shiren were dumbfounded when Liu Feng wanted to stay overnight in the military camp. They had not received such an order.
Fortunately, Liu Feng issued a new order for them to return to Zhou Bo's Mansion to resume their duties.
Xiahou Bo and Fu Shiren hurried back to the house, and were immediately called over by Liu Bei. The latter had already ordered the guard to report to them immediately when they returned.
Xiahou Bo and Fu Shiren felt a little bitter in their mouths, and they didn't know how to report after meeting Liu Bei later.
Is it really possible that I can only report that my group of people sat outside the school grounds all afternoon, watching the young master Liu Feng lead the Danyang soldiers to form a military formation?
In fact, unlike later generations, this era also had actions similar to standing in a military posture, but this kind of action was more of an accessory when practicing formations, rather than a systematic training method.
Therefore, Xiahou Bo and Fu Shiren misunderstood Liu Feng's military stance as a formation for practicing formations.
Soon, the two met Liu Bei.
At this time, Brother Big Ear was dining with his two half-brothers.
As soon as he saw Xiahou Bo and Fu Shiren, Liu Bei dropped his chopsticks and asked impatiently: "Haoran, Junyi, you two are back. Let's sit down and talk. Feng'er is in the school today. Please tell me in detail what you are doing!”
Xiahou Bo and Fu Shiren had no choice but to tell the truth.
After all, Liu Bei had studied under famous teachers, studied with great Confucians, and read classics.
Xiahou Bo and Liu Bei laughed as soon as they finished speaking.
"Brother, what are you laughing at? Could it be that my nephew has done something extraordinary again?"
Zhang Fei knew it when he saw his eldest brother smiling so happily. It must be his eldest nephew who makes him proud.
“My wise brother’s praise is just an allusion of gold hanging from a tree.”
Guan Yu also laughed. As soon as he heard about Li Mu Xuan Jin, he knew what the purpose of his good nephew was. He couldn't help but praise Liu Bei: "It's actually Li Mu Xuan Jin. Feng'er is really knowledgeable and talented, and he is a precocious young man." Ah."
"Brother, second brother, what do you mean?"
Zhang Fei's eyes widened, his clear eyes revealing strong curiosity.
Liu Bei stroked his beard proudly while explaining the allusion of standing wood hanging with gold to his third brother, as well as Xiahou Bo and Fu Shiren, who still didn't know what was going on.
“Feng’er’s move should be to win the trust of Danyang soldiers.”
The second master touched his beautiful beard and nodded frequently: "Okay, this is a very good move. If you want to win people, you must first establish trust. Those who win people's trust will be successful."
"Zuo Zhuan" says: Trust is the foundation of a country. A treasure, a refuge for the people.”
“What happened today shows that Feng’er has gained the essence of Zuo Chuan.”
The second master’s praise makes me happy. Liu Bei was as drunk as drinking sweet rain.
"My second brother is too praised, too praised."
The pride in Liu Bei's eyes almost overflowed, but he deliberately kept a straight face and waved his hands: "Such a compliment, if the child hears it, I'm afraid he really thinks that he has become capable, but you can't encourage his arrogance like this."
Guan Yu smiled bitterly in his heart. His eldest brother usually kept his emotions in check, but why did he immediately become so frivolous when he mentioned his great nephew.
But Guan Yu was also very satisfied with Liu Feng.
In fact, from the time Liu Bei became Prime Minister of Pingyuan, the status of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei began to be obviously different from others, and even Jian Yong could no longer keep up with this echelon.
It was from this moment that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would completely stand out from the Yuan Dynasty and become Liu Bei's clan.
Yes, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will no longer be members of the Yuancong sect in the future. The two of them have become Liu Bei's brothers and a real clan.
It is precisely because of this that the Yuancong faction has completely declined. Jian Yong and Zhao Yun alone cannot support such a large faction. Especially in history, Zhao Yun can only be regarded as half a Yuan Cong, because he came late and left for seven years.
Fu Shiren would later resent Guan Yu. Part of the reason was that Guan Yu had successfully adjusted his mentality and interests to the perspective of the clan and completely abandoned his family relationship with the Yuancong sect.
Liu, Guan, and Zhang are all veteran generals, and naturally they have their own way of leading troops.
Even Zhang Fei, most of the Danyang soldiers assigned to him have been digested by this time. This is the most fortunate thing about Liu Bei.
He started from a humble background, but he actually gathered two god-general-level right-hand men around him, and they were still loyal to him.
But now it seems that Liu Feng has the potential to outdo his master.
Xiahou Bo and Fu Shiren continued to talk about the situation at the urging of Liu Bei.
The eyes of Liu, Guan, and Zhang continued to grow larger and brighter as Xiahou Bo and others narrated.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu understood Liu Feng's skill and excellent results, while Zhang Fei and Zhang Sanshu just had big eyes and pure clarity in their eyes.
But no one could understand the equality that Liu Feng tried so hard to promote, even if it was just a very crude and crude way of sharing rewards and punishments.
After all, it is too magical to suddenly promote equality in this era. Liu Feng just wanted to initially reconcile and shorten the distance between the officers and soldiers.
After all, only when officers and soldiers are integrated can they exert stronger combat effectiveness.
The reason why the army of later generations was able to sweep away a century of humiliation, single-handedly challenge the seventeen-nation coalition, and become the world's best army of officers and soldiers is also a very important reason.
Even in this era, why the combat effectiveness of generals' soldiers is much better than that of ordinary soldiers? Is it not because the soldiers are tied to the generals from personal freedom to the future? This can be regarded as a different kind of officer-soldier integration. performance.
When he heard that Liu Feng was staying at the military camp instead of returning home for the night, Liu Bei smiled, his face full of doting.
"This guy won't come back tonight?"
"Yes, the young master said that as a general, he should naturally stay in the military camp overnight."
Liu Bei revealed that the military With a ruffian look, he laughed and scolded: "Young kid, you dare to claim to be a general. What a great military power." , if there is any situation, you can report it to me at any time.”
Xiahou Bo and Fu Shiren saluted Liu Bei, then resigned and left.
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with some pride.
The latter's heart skipped a beat, as if some familiar scene was about to reappear.
"Two good brothers, it is really unfortunate to have a child. Please listen to me as brothers..."
