Chapter 609: On Soldiers

There was a huge rock next to the camp, and I don’t know what it was for, but it was obviously been there for a long time. Some of the bottom of the huge rock had been trapped in the soil, and the whole huge rock seemed to have grown from the ground.

With the contemptuous eyes of everyone, Han Mo walked to the huge rock, pondered slightly, and finally bent down, touched the huge rock with both hands, knowing that the stone weighed 300 pounds no matter how hard it was, and ordinary people really couldn't move it.

When everyone saw Han Mo reaching the stone, they didn't know what Han Mo wanted to do for a moment, and their eyes were focused on Han Mo.

Xiahou De touched his beard and smiled coldly, thinking to himself: "Can this kid still want to move this stone?"

This huge stone is not light in the Northwest Army, and few people can move it. If Xiahou De said that such a young and gentle family could move this stone, he would definitely not believe it.

Everyone held their breath for a moment, and watched Han Mo bent down and hugged the huge rock. They all opened their eyes wide, wanting to see if Han Mo really had the ability to move the stone away.

Many people are even prepared for jokes.

In fact, Han Mo really didn't want to show his skills in front of these people, but Xiahou De was aggressive and deliberately made things difficult for so many soldiers. If he showed weakness, the soldiers would look down on him even more. The reputation of the incompetent children of the Han family must have been deliberately spread by some people who are interested in the border.

Take action when it is time to take action. Since Xiahou De is aggressive, Han Mo can take advantage of this opportunity to let these soldiers secretly understand the skills of the Han family's children.

What soldiers are convinced is their strength. If you are stronger than them, you will develop a sense of respect in their eyes.

If you show your own methods and let the soldiers develop a sense of respect one or two points, it is nothing wrong. Maybe the soldiers will spread in the future and they will be able to leave a good reputation in the Northwest Army.

...

Everyone saw Han Mo roaring in a low voice. In amazement, they saw Han Mo let go of his hand and didn't move his hand. Han Mo stood up, clapped his hands, and began to turn around the huge rock twice, then shook his head.

Han Mo deliberately mobilized the emotions of these people, but Xiahou De and the soldiers thought Han Mo was not willing to accept it, and someone in the crowd burst into laughter.

Xiahou De also laughed and said loudly: "General Han, if you really can't do it, don't make things difficult for yourself!"

Han Mo raised his head and looked at Xiahou De and smiled, "Sir General, Han Mo is not bad, it's just a pity that such a good giant stone cannot be used to build the city wall!" He did not hesitate anymore, and hugged the giant stone with both hands. This time he didn't dare to make any mistakes. The "Eternal Life Sutra" rushed, and his body was filled with infinite power that had been secretly passed down from generation to generation. With a low growl, the root of the giant stone slowly emerged from the soil.

There were already screams of exclamations in the crowd.

Almost no one expected that this young man could actually turn the huge rock. Not to mention pulling out of the soil, ordinary soldiers could not even push it.

In front of everyone, Han Mo actually pulled out the huge rock slowly from the soil.

The strange smile on Xiahou De's face began to become a little funny. His hand, which had been stroking his beard, stopped at the jaw and forgot to stroke it.

Han Mo's body was not burly. He hugged the huge rock and walked slowly. After walking about ten steps, he placed the huge rock on the ground. Then he stood up straight and patted his hands gently.

Everyone was a little stunned. When they looked at Han Mo, Han Mo had already walked to a archer, stretched out his hand, and smiled gently, "Borrow the bow!"

The soldiers in the northwest are always on alert, and both infantry and archers are always ready to be by their side.

The archer saw that Han Mo was going to borrow a bow and arrow, so he hurriedly took his longbow from the side, but it was just a hard bow.

Han Mo didn't say much, took a hard bow, then took the feather arrow from the other party. His eyes were everywhere and he saw a flagpole erected not far away. There was a flag hanging on the flagpole with the words "Xiahou" written on it. Under the fire, the two words seemed very clear, and the flag was also fluttering in the night wind.

Han Mo stepped back more than ten steps, and was already a long way from the flagpole, several meters away from the daily training of the border archers.

He bent his bow and arrows, pulled the bow and aimed it at the flagpole. Han Mo took a deep breath, and gently relaxed the two of the arrows' tails. The arrow shot straight towards the flagpole like a meteor.

"clatter!"

Everyone clearly saw that the arrow hit the flagpole. What was even more surprising was that the arrow went halfway deep, which showed that the power of the arrow when it shot out was also terrifying.

Han Mo showed his hands and even hit the shot with one arrow. The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then someone couldn't help but shouted: "Good shooting!" He was a good player in the archer team, so he could naturally see the quality of archery skills at a glance.

When the soldiers saw this young general, they really had good methods and shouted for a moment.

Han Mo then smiled and handed the longbow back to the soldier, and said with a smile: "This is a good bow!"

Xiahou De finally recovered and sighed: "The bow may not be a good bow, but this skill is real!" He walked up and smiled, patted Han Mo on the shoulder without hesitation, and said like an elder: "General Han, good looks, I did not embarrass our Yan State warriors. This is the general of my Yan State!"

Xiahou De did not hate the children of aristocratic families. For him, the objects he hated were the noble children who had no real skills and only rose to prominence based on their background.

If the children of aristocratic families had real abilities, he would naturally not be disgusted, just like Xiao Huaiyu, the current Northwest general, who was also from aristocratic families, but his abilities were extremely strong, and Xiahou De was extremely awe.

Han Mo showed his hands, just as Han Mo expected, the northwest soldiers, including Xiahou De, had a great change in their impression of Han Mo. He had thought that this young man was just a little sheep, but then he realized that it was a fierce eagle.

"These three-legged cats' hand gestures are just the skill of a single enemy!" Han Mo said modestly: "As the general, commanding tens of thousands of soldiers, and turning them into a wolf or a tiger, this is the real general of my Dayan!"

Xiahou De laughed and waved his hand, "The way to command the army is too profound, I just learned the superficiality." He leaned close to Han Mo's ear and lowered his voice, "I can't hide it from General Han, Xiahou De can't know a lot of big words. If you want to read the military newspaper, you have to read it for me. The way I lead the army is to find out slowly for so many years, and the general is also giving advice from him from time to time, so that he can make progress."

Han Mo had read a lot of military books, but there were also many introductions to the marching and formations in the military books. However, he knew even if he had read ten infantry books, he might not have the experience of Xiahou De fighting a war or two.

The so-called "paper talk" is far from the experience of being on the battlefield and killing through iron.

"Master General is humble!" The two left the camp and boarded the horse and walked side by side: "Actually, Han Mo really wanted to ask the Master General General how to govern the army. It's a pity that he will leave here tomorrow. Time does not allow it, so I am really sorry!"

Xiahou De smiled and said, "General Han, if there has been a turmoil today, my Dayan will start a war with the enemy sooner or later. You are still young, and you have to learn how to command troops. There is some time." After a pause, he stopped his horse, looked up at the towering wall of the Hanshuiguan Pass, and then looked at the continuous camps. After pondering for a long time, he finally turned to Han Mo. "General Han, when it comes to military use, every general has his own way of doing it on the battlefield. Some are familiar with water wars, some are familiar with jungle wars, some like to fight wars in the mountains, and some like to start wars on the plains. When it comes to tactics, some like to ambush, some like to fight logistics, and some are good at circling and dealing...!"

Han Mo looked at Xiahou De quietly and listened carefully to his words.

"With my command, many generals have their own geniuses, some are good at using cavalry assaults, and some like to use archers. They all have their own talents. Many generals can make full use of the terrain and climate of their environment to make correct military judgments...!" Xiahou De looked at Han Mo and said calmly: "When I first joined the army, I just knew how to kill the enemy bravely, and I didn't know these routines, but over time, I gradually became familiar with it. There was a time when I thought about how to fight cavalry in the mountains. I happened to be discovered by the general and praised me for knowing progress. Finally, I told me that a real general knows how to use troops is naturally indispensable, but more importantly, I know how to use people, and I also know how to make the brothers under my command how to enforce the orders and keep the orders in line!"

When Han Mo heard Xiahou De say this, he began to feel a little fond of the General Xiahou. The unhappiness that Xiahou De brought to him had long disappeared.

Although Xiahou De was at the high position of the general, he did not have much airs and was straightforward. He was disdainful of himself before and showed his skills. The general's attitude immediately changed. He was obviously a general who valued real talent and knowledge. At this time, he expressed his general experience without hesitation. He was indeed not a scheming person.

Xiahou De pondered for a moment before asking: "General Han, in your opinion, how should the brothers under his command be twisted into a rope? You should know that these are all living people, not pigs or sheep. Everyone has their own ideas, their own temperaments, and their ambitions. Their hometowns belong to the six counties of Dayan, and each has its own habits. It is not easy to make tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of different minds condense together and combine into one fist!"

Han Mo nodded slightly.

As Xiahou De said, the real command of the army is not as some people imagined. When the flag is waved, the soldiers under his command are brave enough to move forward, and everyone obeys the orders.

Everyone has their own ideas. A soldier is a mind, and a soldier is a temperament. If only those strict military rules are used to restrict these countless minds, it is impossible for these people to be truly united from the bottom of their hearts.

No matter what war is carried out or what tactics are used, the first thing is to do is to have the soldiers under your command to be united and moral, so as to ensure that the military orders can be unimpeded. Otherwise, even if a general has a genius tactical mind, he cannot let the soldiers under his command be united and moral, then no matter how good the tactics are, he will not be fully implemented.

Xiahou De's words pointed out the fundamental reason for using troops, and Han Mo deeply agreed.

"Han Mo is ignorant, please ask the general for advice!" Han Mo bowed.

Xiahou De smiled and said, "Actually, if a general wants his soldiers to obey the orders, he must let his soldiers have a full meal." He raised his hand, touched his thick beard and said, "Just like the eight words that the general had told me!"

"What eight words?"

"The reward and punishment are clear, and only talent is allowed!" Xiahou De stared at Han Mo and said word by word.
