When Dong Zhuo heard that Li Ru meant this, he breathed a sigh of relief, disagreed and said, "We won two consecutive games and our morale is high. Where did we think of homework?"

Li Ru did not dare to say more and responded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, what Ming Gong said."

Li Ru's words reminded Jia Xu.

Jia Xu said: "Ming Gong, Wen You's words must be ignored."

Dong Zhuo attached importance to Jia Xu. Seeing that Jia Xu said so, he asked, "What do you mean?"

"Ming Gong has been in the army for a long time, so he must know military affairs better than me. It is a good thing to defeat the thieves and win, but this good thing can sometimes turn into a bad thing."

"You mean?"

"The marquis of Huai'yin have broken their cavalry and sank the boats, so the soldiers can fight to the death. Now they have won a strong enemy in a row. As Ming Gong said, I have eight gates to strengthen and a strong city to defend, and the thieves of the jujube are about to scatter. I am worried that the soldiers and soldiers will be impetuous because of these good news, and the morale of the army will be scattered and the morale of the army is scattered?"

Li Ru’s so-called “soldiers think of home” is just a general statement, but Jia Xu starts from the hearts of the people and is well-founded.

Dong Zhuochen sang for a moment and said, "You are very honest." He asked Jia Xu, "With your opinion, what should I do now?"

"There are only three ways to gather morale: one is to defeat the enemy, two is to strictly enforce military discipline, and three is to reward it with wealth and goods."

"Fang won two consecutive victories, and it is not available to defeat the enemy for the time being. OK, according to your plan, I will order the three armies to strictly enforce military discipline and divide the wealth of the soldiers."

Although he heard Dong Zhuo say this, Jia Xu knew that when it comes to "weak money and heavy scholars", Dong Zhuogu deserves it. He never regrets wealth and has always been generous to the soldiers of the army. It is precisely because of this that the army that was originally a Han army turned into his "'private' army", so that the troops of He Jin and He Miao and others were willing to rely on them, and that the generals like Lu Bu were willing to be like each other, which was said to be "serious military discipline". However, it has never been the strength of Dong Zhuo's army. I am afraid that only the last two lines can be achieved by Dong Zhuo.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu thought unconsciously: "It will never be a long-term matter if you rely solely on wealth and profit. If the military discipline cannot be serious, your morale will sooner or later disappear."

But this is also impossible. The reversal of military discipline is not a matter of overnight force. More importantly, Dong Zhuo used kindness and wealth to gather his soldiers, and he never thought about "severe military discipline". In this way, he could only hope that Jizhou and Jingzhou would have an internal 'chaotic' as soon as possible.

Otherwise, over time, it would be as Li Ru said, and it would be difficult for a scholar to fight after being arrogant and hope to return home.

The Kanto Alliance Army and the Dong Army. The two armies faced each other, and each had their own strengths and weaknesses between the enemy and us.

The leader of the Kanto Alliance Army was: the states and counties were formed together, with great momentum and support from Shilin.

Dong Jun was the leader of: relying on the strong pass, with strong soldiers and generals, controlling the court and the emperor, thinking that "righteousness".

The weakness of the Kanto Alliance Army is that the princes who rose up each have their own thoughts, and most of them pay more attention to "selfish interests" rather than "righteousness". Yuan Shao was just a nominal "leader" and could not truly unify all the roads. He could not use his arms to command them.

Dong Jun’s weakness is: because he is at a disadvantage in public opinion and is also a "distance battle", if the time goes by, he will inevitably be in a bad mood.

In this regard, the wise men in the coalition and the Dong army could see that, so there were various statements made by Wen Chou, Li Ru, Jia Xu and others on the "morality" of Dong Jun respectively. But no matter what the "morality" of Dong Jun will eventually be, at least in the current view, especially when Dong Zhuo accepted Jia Xu's suggestion and once again gave rewards to the soldiers of the army, Dong Jun should still be able to maintain a relatively high combat state in the short term. In other words, after experiencing an attack from Wen Chou, Cao Cao and other rebels and a counterattack by Dong Zhuo, the current battle between the rebels and the Dong Jun temporarily changed from offense and defense to a stalemate.

After entering a stalemate, what the two sides are competing with is patience and food and salary strength.

Don’t say anything about Dong Jun, it’s just about the rebels.

Wen Chou was not short of patience, because he got a large amount of food and fodder from Kong Yichang, and within a few months, he did not lack food and fodder.

But Wen Chou and Sun Jian are not short of it, which does not mean that there are no other rebels. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu may be better. After March and April, the more than ten rebels in the ten rebels could not hold on.

First of all, food and salary.

One is food and wages.

The sour jujube plot is more than 100,000 infantry, cavalry and horses. People eat horses and eat horses, and they consume a lot of daily necessities. It has been two or three months since the start of the first lunar month. The food they brought by their troops has been almost eaten by them and is almost gone. The sour jujube belongs to Chenliu County and is Zhang Miao's territory. Chenliu County is not big. With the power of this county, it is not to mention whether Zhang Miao is willing or not. Even if he is willing, he cannot afford to support more than 100,000 soldiers.

Another one is military uniform.

It was early summer in April and the weather became hot. However, when many rebels came to the camp, they didn't think of bringing summer clothes. They only had winter clothes. February and March were fine, or they were open or anything, they could barely make do with it. In April, they couldn't wear winter clothes, but they didn't have summer clothes. Many soldiers were shirtless or just wearing them. Once they entered the camp, they were bare-handed and had no military appearance. They were not good-looking, and they didn't look like an army. They couldn't even go to the battlefield.

Next is patience.

Since the uprising, the Suzao Rebel Army has joined forces for several months. From the beginning of spring to the beginning of summer, only Cao Cao, Zhang Miao and Bao Xin went out to fight a battle, but they were defeated, but they were defeated. Cao Cao was almost wiped out. Not long ago, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu each lost another battle, and it can be called a "debtat defeat". Yuan Shu suffered a lot of losses. He was killed at his doorstep for a while. Wang Kuang was almost wiped out like Cao Cao. He had to count it. In the whole coalition for so many months, Wen Chou and Sun Jian won a little victory, but what was that little victory? It could not affect the "big situation". Wen, Sun did not even see the closing of Yique Pass, and only left the county for a hundred miles. Once Cao Cao was defeated, they retreated.

From the whole point of view, Dong Jun seems to be "invincible", and victory is "destined", or rather, let alone "victory", if you fight again, you may be defeated by Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and Wang Kuang.

Therefore, the ten or so rebels of the rebels of the sour jujube have lost their fighting spirit and the patience to continue waiting.

The food, salary, military uniforms were short of patience, and it was natural that from mid-April, the coalition forces of the Sourjuana began to return to the county one after another.

In Yingchuan County, Wen Chou and Sun Jian heard the news.

When Sun Jian heard this, he came to Wen Chou.

"Zixiao, have you heard of it? The troops from the sourzao have withdrawn."

"I heard it."

"More than 100,000 infantry and cavalry, in the name of fighting thieves, they gathered in the sour jujube for several months. Apart from Cao, Zhang and Bao, there were no fights. I heard that they only drank high wine every day, and now that they had finished their food, they were scattered, and I was really ashamed to be with them! The so-called heroes and famous scholars are just laughing at the world."

Sun Jian started his career with military merits, which is essentially different from those of the "famous scholars" of the Sourzao. He was not a member of the same place at all. When it comes to anger, he blushed and held the hilt of the sword tightly. Judging from his posture, he just wanted to draw his sword out to cut the case to vent his anger. (To be continued.)
