Mythical Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Sui and Tang Dynasties, establishment of empire

Chapter 42
As the military parade ended, the generals arranged for the legions to camp outside, and the people returned to the city. Everyone was silent, the drums had stopped, and the sun was rising. Everyone was thinking about what they had seen today.

The people of Zhuojun didn't care, it was a good thing that Youzhou was strong, but the news coming out of Youzhou made Xianbei and Ding Ling restless, and made the eyes of the old nobles who were hostile to Youzhou generals turn red. Now even the Yellow Turbans must carefully consider the power of Youzhou. The impact of strength.

"I didn't expect my lord to be so powerful now!" Kou Xun couldn't help but sigh. He had been working overtime almost since he arrived at Zhuojun and had never understood the strength of Liu Hua's army.

"Haha! We are also responsible for this!" Jushou laughed boldly. As a military supervisor and instructor, he worked hard to teach the soldiers to read and arrange various effective training methods. It can be said that Liu Hua's subordinates He had involvement in almost every army, which drained everything out of his mind.

As for Liu Hua's worries, he was joking because Liu Hua knew so many middle-level officers. He was afraid that if someone wanted to rebel, he would be tied up by the soldiers and handed over.

The 15 red-coated troops have now entered the single-talented army with Liu Hua's blessing. There are also [-] single-talented troops under the generals of Youzhou. Together with the major imperial guards, Youzhou has approximately [-] elite troops, with a strength of The thirteen states of the Qin Dynasty are estimated to be second only to Liangzhou and Bingzhou. However, Bingzhou has suffered huge losses now, and its overall strength may be weaker than that of Youzhou. You must know that Youzhou is one of the states with the least support from the Qin Dynasty, and the main base of the Qin Dynasty is still in Guanzhong.

After the military parade, there will be a competition on the school field in the afternoon, so after making the plan, Kou Xun also included the lunch meal in the calculation, which was the meal for the 15-strong army.

The open-air banquet was arranged from the north to the south of the city. There were vegetables and meat on the table. After half a year of farming and doing business, it was enough to create such a big battle.

You must know that in this era, no one has ever held such a large-scale banquet, with 15 or more people serving. Not to mention young people like Cao Cao and Zhou Yafu, even Cao Shen and Lu Ze, who came from well-established families, are also I think it's too exaggerated.

But that's right. In today's era, we are very concerned about dignity. I'm afraid I haven't even hosted a banquet for more than ten thousand people. When Liu Hua proposed it at that time, Kou Xun and others thought Liu Hua was crazy. But Kou Xun, Ju Shou, and Liu Only a resourceful man like Ye, who has never been on the battlefield but is good at grand strategy, has the ability to create such a grand scene.

Seeing these soldiers with mud-legged backgrounds, but the same vegetables and meat as them were placed on the table, all the aristocratic families were puzzled and felt heart palpitations. Liu Hua deserved to be treated like this, but Liu Hua deserved it. When they saw such a powerful military force, they were frightened and at the same time showed deep envy.

"It is indeed prosperous under the rule of Prefect Liu!" Cao Shen said with admiration as he looked at the banquet that was lined up in the distance and extended several kilometers away.Cao Cao has met the top resourceful men of this era, such as Xiao He and Zhang Liang. He even went to Xianyang of the Great Qin Dynasty and met the prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty like Li Si, who was inferior to one person and outnumbered ten thousand people. But at this moment, he knew very well that if the military parade showed Liu China's military strength, then what Liu Hua is showing now is his internal affairs capabilities.

"This is all the credit of the people below." Liu Hua said, while smiling and introducing the civil and military personnel under his command to Cao Shen and others. In the past six months, as the order for seeking talents spread, everyone knew that Liu Hua had many talents under his command. .

Liu Hua introduced the important civil and military ministers under his command to Lu Pheasant, Cao Shen, Luo Yi, Zhou Bo and others one by one, mostly to show how many spiritually gifted counselors he had under his command.

"There are indeed many heroes." Cao Shen praised with admiration. With his eyes, he could naturally see that there were six top-notch resourceful people with spiritual talents in front of him. You must know that the peak of Youzhou was when Liu Bang was still alive. There were only two people, Xiao He and Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang was still a guest minister, and Cao Shen had not yet had Wu Zhuanwen.In the afternoon, it was time to worship the heaven before the war. Liu Hua planned to take 15 soldiers to worship the soldiers who had fought for protection for so many years. Liu Hua frequently asked Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and others, and even asked about the soldiers under their command. Shi Paoze's name told them that if they died in battle in the future, their names would be engraved on the Jingling Monument.

In the future, regardless of the four seasons or every festival, we will sacrifice three animals and six animals without any shortage. The etiquette is comparable to that of princes and kings. This will be the final destination of all our soldiers. It has not been done before and cannot be counted. Now that I am here, Even if I ask, I have to find out at least the soldiers who died in the five years since Liu Bang came. If you don't know their names, then put up an unnamed monument to regard them as sages of the past generations.

Benefits in life and glory after death, so that he can live without worries and die without worries. This is the highest promise Liu Hua has made. After making this promise, Cao Shen, Cao Shen, and others have experienced many life and death separations in the past seven years. Zhou Bo and others also greatly agreed after hearing this.

On the west side of Zhuo County, behind the built altar, stood a phalanx formation of 15 troops, as straight as an ax or a machete. Compared to the complicated etiquette of Liu Hua and others, for these soldiers, Liu Hua only had one request to salute. , expressing silence and respect for the comrades who died in these years.

Those present were all soldiers who had experienced fighting on the battlefield, been on the battlefield, and seen blood. Naturally, there were comrades who had fallen asleep because of this.

Perhaps war is normal for this era. Including Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai and other people from Peixian County who are from the same hometown as Liu Bang, life is not much better, especially after the spiritual energy is revived, natural and man-made disasters continue, life is like grass, and the sacrificed soldiers After death, they were probably buried on the spot. The relatives at home cried for a while after learning the bad news, which was insignificant to the torrent of the times.

However, with the establishment of the Jingling Monument, they suddenly found that their deaths had meaning. 15 comrades would mourn after their deaths, worship their lords, and offer sacrifices during the four seasons and festivals.

It will be passed down through the ages and the incense will be endless. This is Liu Hua's goal. It is only in this environment that these Youzhou soldiers who are not under Liu Hua and do not know why they fight or die realize that their deaths are meaningful. Yes, Liu Hua imported a spiritual core into the Youzhou soldiers that had not been injected by their predecessors.

And after understanding this, soldiers will clearly understand their responsibilities and honors when they pick up weapons, fight like a hero, and die like a hero. This is the martial spirit that Liu Hua needs to cultivate throughout his life. Until it is engraved into the soul, such an army will never be defeated at any time.

Before the war, it can be said that such a trick was enough to make the soldiers' morale burst and they were not afraid of death, because they knew that someone would deal with their grief and honor after death. However, Liu Hua's time was still too short and he did not have enough time to establish Greater beliefs such as:
The oath to establish a destiny for the people, to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to maintain peace for the Central Plains, and to spread the holy name to China;

Heaven is moving in good health, and a gentleman has the spirit of constant self-improvement;

I am worthy of entering China in this life, and I recommend Xuanyuan’s tragedy with my blood.
