Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 500 Military Soul
Shen Zhezi himself is not very clear about the details of the left and right forces, so he can't provide Du He with any constructive suggestions.If Duch thinks this battle should be fought, then let it be.

It is true that these military leaders in the Northland have no attachment to the imperial court, and Shen Zhezi actually does not have much trust in them.If he has enough time and strength, he is of course willing to cut off these military leaders one by one and bring them back together.But this idea is not very realistic. If the attitude is too tough, it will inevitably force the rest to Beitou.

Therefore, while establishing prestige, we must also win over, beat some, pull some, and deter some.Exactly how to choose and choose is still within the balance of the chief general.

"This time the son-in-law is here, the battle will be more assured! If we can defeat the remnant army in the old city of Chu County, not only will we receive more than a thousand brave warriors, but we will also be able to deter the surroundings, which will be of great benefit to future development. big!"

Since crossing the river, he has either confronted a mob of bandits, or focused on reclaiming wasteland and farmland. Du He also urgently needs a meritorious deed to prove himself, and he is eager to fight.

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he waved his hands and smiled: "Daohui, you are the master here. Although I came across the river, it was only superficial. I am not sure, and there is no need to do it for me. What's more, from the preparation of the war to the march, it may be too late. If there is a persistent pursuit, it may not be completed within ten months. I crossed the river this time, and I did not have much time to stay here, especially in Taichung, and I will return to the capital in a few days."

When Du He heard this, he felt a little perturbed and disappointed, but also secretly rejoiced.

On the one hand, the remnants of Yuzhou are not weak. He has not personally commanded such a big battle, so it is inevitable that he will lack confidence. With Shen Zhezi in charge, he will feel more at ease.On the other hand, he had planned this battle for a long time. If he was deprived of the command right when the battle started, it would be like someone else entered the long-awaited bridal chamber.

Shen Zhezi also noticed that Du He was slightly short of breath, so he patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Even those who are born knowing have to practice to show their ability. Anxiety can't be calm, often can't sleep because of worries about gains and losses, and even the moment before going into battle, I still sweat profusely. But since I am already in the battle, I can only advance and never retreat."

"Besides, Daohui, you have done a good job in Jiangbei now, and you can be said to have lived up to it. The current situation is still more than enough, so why not go further, don't be limited by your cowardice, let go. It is gratifying to win the flag, even if A little setback, retreat to self-examination, will be able to achieve the full result! It is true that life in this world is not peaceful, but for those who are ambitious, it is not a blessing! Great rivers and mountains, waiting for people to paint, who can hold this pen and ink , who else but me!"

When Du He heard Shen Zhezi's words, he also showed a smile, and then laughed at himself: "Every time I face a big event, I have a calm spirit. Although I am old, my calm mind is still inferior to that of my son-in-law. "

Next, Du He talked about his plans before the war, as well as his ideas for cleaning up the situation after the war, for Shen Zhezi's reference.

As for the battle itself, he has nothing to worry about. After all, the remnants of Yuzhou have been tossed and fallen, and their morale has already fallen to the bottom. Seeking a retreat was only due to internal disputes, so he did not completely surrender.

The only thing that worries him is that such a large military operation will inevitably attract the attention of everyone around him.Du He has been deducing how those people will react to this for a long time, and has never made a definite judgment, so it has been delayed until now.

"After Zuyue surrendered to the thieves, Yuzhou was in complete chaos. Jienu had no intention of going south in a big way, and the imperial court did not move north to re-establish business. This place does not belong to the two sides, the king's authority is gone, and the people's hearts are also vacillating. I am already a soft-spoken person, even if I have contact, there are few people who respond, and it is hard to predict the depth of his heart."

Speaking of this point, Du He was full of helplessness, such a chaotic situation directly affected his planning.If you are too aggressive, it is very likely that the current illusion of calm will be intensified, or people will boycott it, and even attract Jie Hunan to come down and deport him.If he acts conservatively, he will not be able to open up the situation for a long time, and the meaning of crossing the river will be gone.

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he also nodded and said: "This matter is indeed a matter of concern, so I hope to sit down and talk with all parties this time when I cross the river, and see if there is a result and whether there is any cooperation. possible."

"This is very difficult. It is true that the son-in-law has been a famous book in Jiangdong for a while, but after all, the north and the south are different, and everyone does not know where they are going. Even if they see the son-in-law, they may not be able to negotiate a result."

After Du He sighed, he shook his head and said that he didn't have much confidence in this.

"I also know that the situation should be like this, but since we have all crossed the river, we might as well give it a try. In the past few days, I will ask Daohui to contact me on my behalf. I can invite as many people as I can, even if I can't let them No matter what decision you make, you will also convey your goodwill, which will also help Daohui and your management here."

Shen Zhezi didn't expect to be able to use a cloud-piercing arrow to meet thousands of troops, but if he didn't accumulate a few steps, he couldn't reach a thousand miles. This first step must be taken after all.

The two talked until late at night, and then went away to take a rest.

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Zhezi was still asleep when he was awakened by the sound of gongs and drums outside the tent.He walked out of the barracks in his single clothes, and saw that the east was just showing his fish, and the peasants in the camp were already lined up, each holding a farm tool, and led by the soldiers to work in the farmland.

At this moment, Du He has also been riding a horse, standing in the camp waiting for the sergeants to assemble.Although he only fell asleep for a while, he was still in high spirits at the moment. Seeing Shen Zhezi standing in front of the barracks, he signaled his soldiers to send a warrant to pass through the barracks.Not long after, more than a thousand sergeants had assembled, with a ring-shouldered knife hanging on their waists, a huge bamboo basket on their shoulders, and bamboo spears in their hands. Under the orders of the generals, they left the camp and started a day's drill.

Not long after Shen Zhezi looked at the direction where the soldiers were leaving, Guo Song, who fell asleep early last night, got up now, and walked over wearing a linen short robe with sleeves. He said with a smile: "Du Daohui is indeed capable of doing things. He can control clearly and orderly. He can already be called a wise soldier."

Shen Zhezi also has experience in military training, and he understands that it is not easy for people to obey orders and not be timid.Thousands of people have thousands of faces, and the meaning of the existence of the army is to obliterate individual characteristics to the point of insignificance, so that thousands and thousands of people have one heart and one desire, and only strive for one goal, that is victory!
Every general has his own unique set of military training methods.Some people are good at killing people to build their prestige, while others are known for loving soldiers.Shen Zhezi himself doesn't have any special experience. All he can think of is to reward advances and punish retreats, increase people's sense of honor, and maintain a good atmosphere of active competition internally.

The best army not only needs to have abundant physical strength and excellent rations, but also has its soul. It must set a lofty goal for people to fight for, so that everyone understands why they are fighting and what they want to fight for. What can be achieved by hard work.

In this regard, the begging army has done a good job.Survival is the most basic and simple need of human beings, but in this troubled world, survival has become a luxury, and one needs to beg to live, which itself carries a kind of tragic feeling.

If you can't beg for a living, then you might as well fight to the death!If you win, you will live, if you lose, you will die. Life and death are the two results, which encourages people to do their best!In such an army, even if it is a little sheep, after staying for a long time, it will be full of hostility and turn into a warrior who dares to fight.

But the begging army has another problem, that is, the bottom line is too low, and they can do everything in order to survive. They don't ask right from wrong, don't distinguish between good and evil, and tend to act instinctively.Of course, there is nothing wrong with the need for survival, but the problem is that once it starts, it will be difficult to have effective constraints. The generals are all influenced and coerced by the rebellious soldiers, so it is impossible to talk about the construction of a higher level.

The begging army was eventually reduced to thugs, unable to form their own political program, nor built their own superstructure. They moved between various forces, and killing was the only way for them to demonstrate their value.Gradually, begging for work turned into death, and finally disappeared in repeated ignorant attacks, which can be described as a tragic song of life.

Shen Zhezi has also been thinking about a theme and choosing a starting point to build the soul of his army.But how to choose this point can be practical, can not only stimulate people's resonance, but also add more meaning to this value, and finally form a huge and stable ideological construction.

This question seemed very simple, but Shen Zhezi thought about it for a long time but still could not make a decision.In this era of Hu-Han collision, nationalism is of course an unshakable basis.But for ordinary soldiers, this argument is unavoidably grand, and there is no personal experience.

Those who can join the army are mostly from poor families.The Hulu were not the only ones who made their lives miserable and persecuted them.Moreover, even if it is a hard fight to drive out the Hulu, they may not be able to secure a better life.

At least in the current era of Shi Le's rule, the conflict between Hu and Han has not intensified to the point of life and death. For many people, voting for Hu is not an opportunity that is difficult to choose.However, they don't know that under Shi Le's shadow, there is a full-fledged demon lying dormant waiting to choose someone to devour!And once they choose to live with it, they will not even have a chance to struggle!
