261 The Second Morning of the Xiaoguan Offensive and Defensive Battle
"General Ran, you are actually very easy to answer. Now I will tell you what the basis is. But I will first ask you if you were looking at the moat just now, if you had cashed in addition to the less water in the moat, what are the abnormalities?"
"Exception, there are other abnormalities, no more. I just looked at it carefully. Except for the river water that has become less, I didn't find any other abnormalities. By the way, the river water just now seemed to appear turbid than usual, but what can this mean?"
After Zhang Yang asked another question, Ran Hongzhi immediately replied.
“Yes, except for the smaller the river water, only the river water has become much turbidder than before.
I was also very surprised that the water of this moat was still clear in the past, but not long after dawn this morning, the water of the entire moat began to become turbid, and it is still so turbid now!"
Sure enough, he is worthy of being Ran Hongzhi's clerk. After Ran Hongzhi finished speaking, Nie Liao immediately helped Ran Hongzhi add.
The other Kong He, Si Kou Zheng, Baoxing, Le Zheng Junxiong, Zhou Yongsi and others looked at Zhang Yang again after listening to Ran Hongzhi and Nie Liao's words, looking at Zhang Yang with your knowledge-seeking eyes, and looking at him with a full face of asking for solutions.
"The basis for me is the turbid river water, because the river water that sets the moat is now turbid, and the river water of the moat has obvious signs of smaller size. I was sure that the Turks went to the inlet of the moat and blocked the moat.
Because our Xiaoguan moat has been washed by the Jingshui River for so many years, there has been no source of soil that makes the river water turbid. Therefore, the moat has always been relatively clear.
But today the river water suddenly becomes turbid, which proves that when the river water flows into the moat, it carries a lot of soil, which makes it so turbid. There is no source of soil, so where does this soil come from!
That can only be considered by people. Some people think that if they dump soil into the moat, they want to make the entire moat turbid, this is not something that can be polluted by the soil. Now, the only thing that can be complete outside the pass is the Turkic army.
The Turkic army would definitely not be idle and had nothing to do to get into the river, so it could only be that there was water on it!
This is my basis. Okay, let’s do it today. Everyone will be busy starting tomorrow!”
"Emperor Zhang is early!"
"Emperor Zhang is early!"
"Emperor Zhang is early!..."
The next morning, Zhang Yang got up early in the morning, washed and had a meal, walked on the city wall of Xiaoguan again, and bursts of greetings from the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were stationed on the city wall of Xiaoguan.
"Hello everyone, I'm lucky. Have you used it today? I'm going to bother you these days!"
People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot. This has always been Zhang Yang’s principle of being a human being. After these soldiers expressed their kindness, Zhang Yang also responded back with his kindness. As for people, they are all group animals, complementing each other.
As the saying goes, there is no love for no reason in this world, and no hatred for no reason.
Whether it is falling in love at first sight, not being happy with you, or having a bad temper, there are artificial factors in it that will cause such a thing.
Love, hate, love, love, no matter whether it is your or his reasons, there must be a reason to produce these emotions, and even fools are no exception.
So if you want your subordinates to love you, you must make your subordinates convinced, and you must also show your concern for them. Otherwise, one-sided efforts will not last long, and may even develop into love and hate, which is not impossible.
So, Zhang Yang has always had a scale in his heart. When he should show his majesty, he will show his majesty side. When he feels that he should show his people with his compassionate side, he will show his compassionate side.
The standard for measuring the degree of this display is the scale in his heart, and the addition and subtraction weights are all in his heart.
In the late autumn season, the group of Tang soldiers in front of you were stationed and inspecting on Xiaoguan early in the morning. Although this is their profession and should do this, people must have professional ethics, but professional ethics is one thing. As a leader, can't you show a kind attitude to bring the distance between the two sides closer and make them feel the warmth in their hearts?
After all, the military industry is an industry with a very high degree of risk, especially in the ancient era of cold weapons combat. The risk of joining the army in this era is greater than that of Zhang Yang's peaceful and prosperous era in the pre-hot weapons era.
In the era of cold weapons, wars were all about hand-to-hand combat between people. This era did not have as many protective measures as later generations. Once a war started, it would have to fight to the death to the end. In this way, the mortality rate would naturally remain high.
Especially for soldiers in troubled times, the number of deaths increased several times compared to usual due to the constant conquest between warlords.
Since the mortality rate of soldiers during this period reached an astonishing ratio, there were not so many trained soldiers at all, so many soldiers during this period were just captured by various places to fill in the numbers. This indirectly made the generals of both sides not pay too much attention to the lives of the soldiers in their hands. As a result, many soldiers who did not train enough would die in the first battle of their lives and lose their short lives. This also formed a vicious cycle.
When soldiers die, they catch the strong men. When they catch the strong men, they immediately send them to the battlefield to fight. Then they die again and catch the strong men. Finally, until someone unified the country, it is a cycle of vicious searches that has caused many strong men to die on the battlefield.
In addition, many soldiers were suddenly arrested and went to the battlefield without undergoing military training, and then survived by chance. Then they slowly learned how to save their lives and kill the enemy through the battlefield.
Such soldiers have no military discipline at all, and many generals will not interfere too much in the military discipline of their subordinates for morale. As long as they do not rebel, it will cause many people to die in trouble. This is why. After each dynasty in China collapses, there will be a period of chaos. After this period of chaos, the population will definitely decrease by several times.
Therefore, there has been a saying in China since ancient times that it is better to be a dog in a prosperous era than a person in a troubled world. This means that once a chaotic era comes, the value of human life is not as valuable as a dog's life in a prosperous era.
Fortunately, due to the founding of the Tang Dynasty for many years and the two generations of Li Yuan and Li Shimin were good at managing the military, the current military discipline of the Tang army is still quite good, at least it is a disturbance to the people. No one dares to do it openly.
In addition, most of Xiaoguan's army are veterans who are experienced in battle. If they can survive, their military discipline is naturally unexplained.
Therefore, Zhang Yang still respects these veterans very much. Those who can survive forever have unique skills, and they are all cautious and careless people. They can't live for so many years on the battlefield.
They can naturally tell who is good to them, who is bad to them, who is sincere, and who is doing a show.
So these soldiers greeted Zhang Yang's sincere smiles, caring and showing their sincerity.
"Zhang Duwei, thank you for caring about us big-headed soldiers. Breakfast, haha, the brothers Zhang Duwei don't eat breakfast."
"How can that be done? The morning is in the morning. Breakfast is the first meal every day. You don't need to ensure the physical strength and energy of the morning every morning. You should know that in the war period, if you don't eat breakfast and encounter continuous attacks from the enemy, it will not be easy to accelerate the consumption of physical strength during the battle, so that you will lose your strength earlier than the enemy. Isn't this kidding about your own lives and Xiao Guan's safety? How can this be? Who allows you to not eat breakfast? How can you do this if you are all veterans!"
Zhang Yang saw the soldiers who opened their mouths and planned to make a few words of quibbling, and did not give them a chance to make a quibble, and said again:
"What's more, even if it was not during the war, you could not skip breakfast or eat breakfast, but it was easy to get stomach problems. This disease was not that comfortable, but I think you would definitely not skip breakfast in normal times.
Otherwise, if you eat two meals a day on weekdays, you will definitely not be able to get dinner and will be too hungry to move.
It seems that due to the war, I changed three meals a day, and there were large pieces of horse meat for lunch and dinner, so you looked down on the meat porridge cooked for breakfast. Since that's the case, I'll talk to General Ran and General Qin, and let you continue to have two meals a day!"
"No! Zhang Duwei, you can't do this. You must not tell General Ran and General Qin to cancel our lunch. If the other brothers know, they will still want to pluck our skin and eat our meat. How can you let us keep going!
This is the benefit that has changed and has made my brothers happy for a few days. Zhang Duwei, aren’t you creating Mao Dulu for us?
Mr. Zhang, I was wrong. I was just kidding just now. We have already used breakfast, so you can spare us!"
The soldier who just answered Zhang Yang's words just now heard Zhang Yang's joking words, he wanted to mark the living standards that they had finally raised, three meals a day, and the meals had meat, and then changed them back to the previous two meals a day. This scared him so much that he begged Zhang Yang for mercy and admitted his mistake.
"Is that so? Didn't you just say you didn't use breakfast? Why did you use breakfast again? It's not good to lie like this."
At this time, the veteran who was watching the fun just now found that the situation had changed and exceeded their expectations. Zhang Yang took the joke seriously and refused to trust the explanation of the person who was just joking, and immediately came over to persuade him:
"Liu Si, you are itchy. I knew that something might happen to your broken mouth sooner or later. Now something happens, now you know it's amazing.
I have told you a long time ago that you should keep your dog's mouth in mind, don't bark if you don't believe it, you'll have caused trouble now. Look at how you end it now. Can you just say something like that? Can you joke at that time?"
"That's right, Boss Ma is right. Liu Si's broken mouth is a disaster. Not only Boss Ma, but I even warned you more than once, asking you to take care of your dog's mouth, otherwise you will be loaded on it sooner or later and will be smashed to pieces.
I used to say that you still couldn't listen to you, and I said that I wouldn't let us care. No matter what our affairs are, now, something is wrong now!
It's my business now. Now we've all been implicated. See if you dare to open your mouth and say no to go in the future!"
After the others discovered that the situation had become serious, they followed Boss Ma to attack Liu Si.
Zhang Yang looked at their performance without any change in expression. He was just watching them quietly, intending to see what they were going to do and what methods to take back his life. Now is his time to watch the fun.
As an art youth in later generations, Zhang Yang was also an art youth who had done a good job. He learned very well in performing things, otherwise he would not have gained such a reputation and attracted so many female friends.
So as early as when Liu Si started to answer, Zhang Yang saw the corner of Liu Si's eyes. He unconsciously expressed his giggle. After Liu Si spoke, he took Liu Si's jokes as true and even expressed them more seriously.
The purpose is to see how these people want to disrupt his attack, see how their comrades have a relationship, whether they are as close as the legendary, and that they are as close as brothers. They can block their swords.
That's why after they started performing, they watched them perform there indifferently.
After they found out that Zhang Yang was indifferent, Liu Si once again recognized Zhang Yang's mistake.
"Emperor Zhang Duwei, I, Liu Si, just now, just now, just wanted to joke with you, and there was no other intention. Besides, we really had breakfast. Now the army has finally opened up to supply our meat porridge and food. How could we not eat breakfast?
This is simply impossible, so I was joking just now. Zhang Duwei, just pretend I was farting just now, and you should take it back!”
After saying that, Liu Si raised his head quietly again and looked at Zhang Yang. He found that his expression had not changed at all, and he still looked like he had just now. He was so scared that he sat on the stone spread on the wall of Xiaoguan.
Several other soldiers continued to muddle Liu Si and Zhang Yang after discovering that Zhang Yang was still expressionless.
"Now you know it's amazing. Liu Si, on weekdays, you make your child think about Ading's study and study too much. If you don't listen, you like to be fooled.
Now that you have suffered, you will be chewing all day long if you dare!”
"Boss Ma, I was wrong. I will not dare to do it anymore. Please help me beg for Wei Zhang. I will never talk nonsense again.
I will definitely follow your teachings in the future and study hard with Ading. I will no longer do such stupid things as if I am full and full!"
Just like the person who fell into the water found a life-saving straw, Liu Si grabbed it tightly after hearing Boss Ma’s life-saving straw. Boss Ma asked him to plead for him and sincerely promised to reform himself.
"Zhang Duwei, you see that Liu Si admits his mistake, so you let him go. He just said nothing but unintentional words. You must not take it seriously. My child Liu Si and I have been together for many years. He is a child who likes to talk nonsense on weekdays, but he is really not disgusting. I can still guarantee this.
Also, Liu Si actually said nothing wrong just now. We are all rough people, and we don’t say so literary to you. Breakfast, breakfast, breakfast, breakfast, breakfast, so, Zhang Duwei, you don’t want to be a rough person like Liu Si. You should not mention this when you propose to General Qin and General Ran to change the two meals.
I, Lao Ma, take these brothers, please, if we really change this to two meals, we will not be able to get into this army."
"Oh, is that true? Did you really have breakfast?"
After seeing Zhang Yang's expressions showing some looseness after hearing his words, Lao Ma left and answered:
"Emperor Zhang, that's true. You think, how dare we, the rough people, come to lie to you!
You are one of our immediate bosses of the bunch of rough people now. If we deceive you and you find out, then we will have good fruits. With your status, it is easy to find trouble for those of rough people, so we definitely don’t dare to, and we won’t lie to you. I also believe that as long as we are normal people, we won’t go back to do this kind of self-infant thing.
We really had breakfast. This morning, before we came here to change the duty, we ate two large bowls of meat porridge and two large buns in the barracks. The food has been very good recently. The meat porridge is so sticky that it can be inserted into chopsticks and will not fall.
The big buns I got up in the morning were as big as a bowl. I could only eat two of them with a good appetite. Ordinary people could only eat one big bun, and half a bowl of meat porridge would be full. I haven't thought that I have been so open to serve our food recently.
If you still don’t believe Zhang Duwei, you can go to the station to ask the chef. When I went to ask for the second bowl of meat porridge this morning, the chef at the station also said that I could eat too much, and I ate breakfast for two people alone.
At that time, I almost got up with him. The three meals a day were open for supply, and it was enough. But Zhang Duwei, General Qin, General Ran personally ordered that he was a chef, so why should he do such a broad mind?
As for this matter, many brothers at that time saw it. Just ask Zhang Duwei!”
