Keep going.
The road between Sichuan and Sichuan is inherently difficult.
According to the guide Zhe Mo, if you want to reach Liangshan, you have to walk for at least ten days.
Liu Zheng was naturally not in a hurry, but soon problems arose in the army.
Qin Changfeng came to report: "Sir, recently there has been a war-weariness mentality in the army. How to deal with this?"
Liu Zheng was chatting with Xiao Heitan. When he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, followed by endless guilt.
yes.
War-weary...
Speaking of which, it has been almost three months since the Liangzhou Army left their hometown.
Speaking to normal people, who doesn’t miss home? Moreover, since the Liangzhou Army has grown stronger, the wars have been almost continuous here, fighting against the Huns, the Battle of Hanzhong, the expedition to the Western Regions, and then Sichuan and Shu - it has only been less than two years, and most people may not be able to withstand such a torment. .
"Is it serious?"
Liu Zheng asked with a frown.
At this time, the 50,000-strong army was camping and resting in place, it seemed. However, it is still in good order and military discipline is strict.
Qin Changfeng smiled bitterly and said: "It's not serious, but we just finished our long-distance attack and now we have to go to Liangshan. Although the brothers don't say it, they must have opinions in their hearts."
Liu Zheng frowned. This was indeed an issue that Liangzhou had never considered.
Since we are marching and fighting, there should be a cycle.
After all, people are not made of iron. Going on an expedition every now and then for a few months, these soldiers would indeed be a little bit intolerable under the high tension.
This is an issue that cannot be ignored.
Liu Zheng immediately called Qin Changfeng, Cheng Kai and other generals to discuss the matter together.
as expected.
As soon as Cheng Kai arrived, he also gave a wry smile: "Sir, if we say that we have issued a death order, the brothers will definitely not say anything. There will be no mutiny or desertion. But after all, we have just won a big victory, and we are going on a journey again, this..."
Liu Zheng nodded and asked with a smile: "How do you think we can solve this problem? We are already on the road, and we certainly cannot turn around and go back."
Someone suggested that it would be better to double the salary to make the soldiers more willing.
Someone suggested that the soldiers should be allowed to rest for a while before setting off again.
Some people think that at this time, it would be a good thing to win quickly and win quickly.
Anyway.
A group of people got into a quarrel, and the public said that the public was right and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right.
After listening to it this way, it is true that whoever said it makes sense and there is no way to refute it.
Finally, in this camp, people started slapping the table and staring.
Liu Zheng became impatient and waved his hand: "Everyone, go down and garrison here temporarily. Let the brothers have fun in the past few days without marching. I will study this matter carefully."
"yes!"
Seeing that Liu Zheng was angry, everyone took orders and went down.
Liu Zheng was thoughtful and walked out of the door.
Pei Yanran, who had been listening by the side, asked Qin Changfeng in a low voice at this time: "Brother Qin, it's rare to see your young master at such a helpless time!"
Qin Changfeng frowned, hearing the teasing in Pei Yanran's mouth, and couldn't help but snorted: "Don't worry, the young master must have a solution!"
Pei Yanran curled her lips, she didn't believe that Liu Zheng was so invincible...
If this is the case, wouldn't it be that he is almost the same as his genius fourth senior brother?
…
Looking at Liu Zheng again, since he decided to rest here for three days, he began to wander around the camp.
"Master!"
"I've met the young master!"
"Son..."
After walking around in a circle, I happened to encounter a group of soldiers playing in the water nearby. They were all shirtless. When they saw Liu Zheng, they all felt embarrassed.
Liu Zheng chuckled: "No, you continue, don't worry about me. How do you feel here?"
A group of people came over: "Sir, this place is a good place, but I just can't get used to it!"
"Yes, sir, this place is simply too humid! It's damp and cold, not as dry and cold as the dry and cold ones in Liangzhou!"
"Sir, I heard that we, fifty thousand people, are going to garrison Liangshan?"
"What's the point of garrisoning in that damn place?"
These people all talk a lot.
Liu Zheng listened quietly, keeping a smile on his face, and occasionally chatted with them.
soon.
He then understood the psychological activities of these soldiers.
simply put.
What they are most worried about now is not fighting or long-distance fighting. In fact, what they are most worried about is that these 50,000 troops will be stationed in Liangshan - in this case, when can they return to Liangzhou? When can I see my wife and children?
As for the other mess, they really don't care.
Liangzhou people are used to hardship.
But as long as I go home, no matter how hard it is, it's all worth it.
Liu Zheng heard about it, then stood up and said with a smile: "Liu Zheng already understands the demands of the brothers. Don't worry, I will give you an answer soon!"
As soon as these words came out, this group of people felt embarrassed.
"No, no, no, young master, we are just chatting..."
"Young master, you have a lot of things to do, don't delay!"
"Sir, just pretend we haven't said anything..."
Liu Zheng sighed.
What more could I ask for when we have such a simple and honest group of soldiers?
However, we can’t just want the horse to run without giving the horse grass to eat. How can this be done?
Military reform seems to be imperative.
The next day.
The first enlarged military meeting of the Liangzhou Army was held under the chairmanship of Liu Zheng.
Attendees include Qin Changfeng, Cheng Kai, Pang Pangniu, Pei Qianyun, Cao Guanzhi, deputy generals and above, a total of more than thirty people.
The person who listened to the advice was Pei Yanran. And several representatives selected from grassroots officers and soldiers.
Seeing everyone sitting down, Liu Zheng smiled: "Generals, this enlarged military meeting will determine the future military reform of the Liangzhou Army. Therefore, everyone is welcome to speak freely and express their opinions. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, just be afraid. Did not say!"
A group of people were quite surprised.
Military reform?
Isn’t this the Longyan Dynasty’s army always like that? What else can be reformed?
Pei Yanran next to her also looked curious.
Only then did Liu Zheng send out several reform outlines that he had written overnight.
After all, they were out of town and could not be printed. These were drafted by Liu Zheng himself, so a group of people could only read one copy together.
Who knows.
At first glance, everyone was dumbfounded.
Pei Yanran and Qin Changfeng watched the same book.
At this time, when I saw the content of this first picture, I stood up in shock.
"this……"
"Master?"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
"Sir, the army is the most important weapon of the country. You must not act recklessly!"
