Chapter 474 The thoughts of the soldiers (1)

"Well said!" Li Gong couldn't help but shout.

But as soon as he spoke his voice, he realized that it was inappropriate. Although Li Gong had completely turned to sending troops to Khurashan, he had not made a final decision after all. Moreover, although what Liu Qi said made sense, he himself preferred to send troops. Most of the problems that would lead to sent troops were hidden. Tomorrow, he would listen to Wang Sheng, Mo Yuan and others and then make a decision.

But when Liu Qi said these three words and expressed his expression very happily, showing his thoughts. What if it spreads out, Mo Yuan and others will stop talking tomorrow?

"Forget it, I wanted to ask you a few more questions, but those are all details, so it's fine. If you don't ask, the only thing that can be considered is the morale of the army." Li Gong must not express his thoughts casually after he reviewed himself in his heart, and said. In his opinion, since Liu Qi has learned about his thoughts, it is useless to hide them, so he just shows them straightforwardly.

"Please send someone to investigate secretly in the army," Liu Qi said.

"There is no need to send guards to investigate. I will ask in the army myself." Li Gong said, and stood up from the chair.

"Your Highness wants to investigate in person?" Liu Qi was stunned.

"It's just an investigation myself." Li Gong said: "Although you don't rush to send troops, let alone you say you want to transfer soldiers from the Jiuzhaowu and other countries to attack Khurashan with the Anxi army. You can't get anxious, but you have to make too many preparations in advance and ask the guards to investigate, which will take a few more days. Why not investigate me personally."

"How does Your Highness plan to investigate?"

"Just directly inquire about the soldiers."

"This, Your Highness, my subordinates believe that they may not be able to find out the true thoughts of the soldiers."

"Why can't it?" Li Gong asked back: "Every time I ask, I will tell the soldiers bluntly: Your answer will affect whether to send troops to Khurasan. It is related to myself, why don't they tell the truth?"

"This..." Liu Qi was stunned, and then found that he might have made a mistake.

He has seen too many TV interviews that are fake at first glance, and subconsciously believes that ordinary people will not tell officials what they really think, but rather what the officials want. Under normal circumstances, his ideas are not wrong; but now it is an abnormal situation!

Li Gong is not an official, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the lord of Anxi, and the ruler of Anxi. Most of the common concepts of the Chinese people are bad things done by officials, and the monarchs are all wise and will make decisions for the people.

This concept actually makes sense. Although the monarch may not be wise, officials are doing bad things to poach the country's corners. When the country collapses, officials will change to court to continue to be officials. The monarch will face the consequences of death and destruction. Therefore, if the monarch knows, he will certainly correct it and make decisions for the people.

Therefore, the people may not dare to tell the truth when facing the officials below, but they will seek justice when facing the high-ranking officials from the court. Now, Li Gong, the number one in Anxi, personally inquired, is related to his own interests, and the soldiers should be able to tell the truth.

"It was my subordinate who thought it was wrong." He immediately admitted his mistake.

"Okay, since you think you can ask, let's ask now." Li Gong was already wearing a coat under the guards.

"At this moment?" Liu Qi was stunned again, walked quickly to the door of the tent and lifted the curtain, and found that the sky was already white.

"It's already this time."

"When do you think it is?" Li Gong smiled and said, "We have said so much, how could it be that it is still midnight? Put on your coat and let's go out." As he said that, he passed by Liu Qi and walked out of the tent. Liu Qi also rolled up his wrinkled sleeves and hurriedly followed him out.

"Which army should I go?" After leaving the tent, they saw the fire-tou military camp where smoke had already emerged. They also heard the sound of soldiers walking around. They were sure that someone had already gotten up. Liu Qi asked again.

"This is the 202nd Regiment." Li Gong hesitated for a moment and said.

"202 Regiment?" Liu Qi was stunned and asked, "Your Highness is going to ask Danff, Renault and others?"

"You really guessed what I was thinking." Li Gong smiled.

"However, Danfu and others have long been promoted to lieutenant or brigade commander, and most of them no longer serve in the 202nd Regiment. Moreover, they are all generals, not soldiers."

"The officials such as the lieutenant and the brigade commander must lead the troops personally, which is no different from ordinary soldiers. As for the point you said, they must be at the 202nd Regiment station at this time." After Li Gong said this, he walked southwest under the protection of the guards. Liu Qi was still confused, but he could only keep up.

...

...

"Everything is up! Everyone is up!"

"I'll sleep for a while."

"I'll sleep for a while, too."

"Attach me!" Cao Fanghao shouted: "Look at this tent that you can make a fortune! Don't delay cleaning!"

"Oh, Brother Cao, you're really busy!" Danfu agreed unhappily, but he had to get up and put on his coat; Renault and others had to get up.

"I'm also saying I'm having a lot of things! Don't rest in my tent tomorrow, go to Uncle Xia's tent." Cao Fanghao ordered the guards to come in, and then retorted.

"Isn't this the best location for the 202 regiment!" Danff said: "The 202 regiment is almost in the middle of the entire camp, and it is convenient for everyone to get along."

After the ceremony, because they did not have to face the enemy, the soldiers relaxed again and the military regulations were not strictly enforced. Cao Fanghao and the others gathered together to have a drink at night. Last night, Danfu and others accidentally ate too much and slept in Cao Fanghao's tent.

"Okay, Brother Cao, don't complain. When your highness and the generals decide whether to send troops to Khurashan, whether we fight or not, we can't get together for drinking. After returning to the east, we may not be stationed together, and we may not be able to see each other for years." Renault said. His original intention was to advise Cao Fanghao not to complain, but as he spoke, he became sad.

"If you want to get together for a drink in the future, there is no way."

"It's true." When everyone else heard Renault's words, they couldn't help but feel sad. Anxi's practice is that the army is stationed in a certain place for a long time, and soldiers will select locals, especially lieutenants and officials below the level.

They were in a fire, and eight people were in a fire, Xia Chuantao, Song Wu and Renault were in a Shaw Ye people, Mit, Danfu was from Luzhou, and Shi Nai was from Kucha, and he would probably return to his hometown in the future. The Cao brothers came from the Central Plains, so they could be transferred anywhere. But even if they were all arranged in Shaw Ye town, they could only gather five people at most.

"Okay, okay, it's not time to separate yet, what's going on!" Xia Chuantao came to his senses first and shouted loudly. Seeing that everyone was still sad, he thought about it and decided to change the topic: "You guys tell me, will your highness send troops to Khurashan?"

"I think..." Renault was first attracted by his topic and had to express his opinion. But he had just said three words and followed the voice from outside: "I have met Your Highness!"
