Zhao Tuo's song only takes six days to form an army and three days to train.
One is worth five hundred, and the other is worth two to five hundred.
The two bloody heads were stuck on the tips of spears and stood upright at the gate of the camp, allowing the soldiers coming in and out to watch.
These two smelly heads are telling everyone a fact at every moment.
Anyone who disobeys the general's orders will die!
Not only the many generals but also thousands of soldiers were shocked by this song.
Even the entire Qin Army camp outside Daliang City was agitated by this incident.
"Then Zhao Junhou actually killed a two- to five-hundred-year-old master! Oh my God, they say that training is necessary to establish prestige, but using the heads of a two- to five-hundred-year-old master and a five-hundred-year-old master to establish prestige is too scary. . Although there are methods of killing in the army, since I joined the army, I have never heard of anyone beheading a two- to five-hundred-strong leader just after training. This Zhao Junhou is really fierce."
"Yes, I also heard that Zhao Junhou ordered his troops to come forward with weapons and ordered that if a thousand people resisted, they would be killed. The barbarians were so frightened that they did not dare to move on the spot. Do you think that if those Hanzhong people really If he resists, he won’t really kill a thousand people, right?”
"I think Zhao Junhou is really capable of what he did. Although the 2500-year-old leader was a barbarian, he and General Qiang Fu are relatives of the same clan. Zhao Junhou was so disrespectful, and he was not afraid of being killed by Qiang Fu. General, will you hold a grudge and take revenge in the future?"
"No matter what, this person is so fierce and must not be provoked."
While the soldiers and officers were discussing the situation, Wang Bi in the commander's tent also received a written report from Zhao Tuo.
"If you kill one person and the three armies are shaken, kill him."
"This boy is quite proficient in the art of war. He is young, and his soldiers are improvised, so there must be people who despise him. Now that he is killed, no one will dare to look down on him because of his age, let alone disobey his orders. In this way, orders and prohibitions can be implemented, and such an army will have good combat effectiveness on the battlefield."
Wang Ben put the slip in his hand on the desk and said with a smile: "My father does have a vision. Although this son is young, he is indeed a good seedling. If he is well cultivated, he can also lead an army in the future. But I don't know, if Li'er is General Ren, who is higher or lower than this son?"
As Wang Ben said, after the Qiang Dagger incident, no one of Zhao Tuo's 5,000 men dared to disobey his military orders.
In the following training, not only the Hanoi Army but also the Shangdang Army trained seriously.
Even the slightly inferior Yingchuan army cheered up, listened to the golden drums, and marched according to the flags, and gradually looked like soldiers.
As for the Thousand Han Chinese Army, they were even more frightened.
"Listen to my orders. If anyone in the formation dares to move or is lazy, I will punish them all!"
Bai Rong, the newly appointed leader of the 2500 army, stood in front of the 1000 army formation. He first warned in Qin language and then declared in Barbarian language.
Beside him, two military officials holding axes stood with their heads raised. The big axes in their hands shone with a dazzling cold light in the sun, which scared the barbarians to tremble because they knew that these Qin people could really kill people. .
Don't you see, Qiang Dagger's head is still staring at them surrounded by mosquitoes and flies?
So in the following training, these Di Qiang barbarians who did not know what military law and discipline were allowed Bai Rong to command them to train in formation.
Although there were unenlightened Qiang people among them, their blood and brains wanted to resist, but as their heads were inserted on the spear points and placed beside their skulls with Qiang daggers and Qiang heads, no barbarians dared to speak nonsense. Become extremely well-behaved.
After all, all the bad people died.
In the days that followed, after completing the training of a thousand people, there was a joint training of five thousand people.
Five thousand soldiers formed a large formation, with the front row holding crossbows and the back row holding swords, shields, and spears and halberds.
"forward!"
Under the command, the flags waved, and the five thousand people marched neatly in formation. The dust on the school grounds was flying, and the soldiers' footsteps were like thunder.
"Certainly!"
At the word of the order, the five thousand people stopped in unison, their spears and halberds were like a forest, and their eyes were all staring straight ahead, waiting for the military order to be issued again.
…
Seeing that all the soldiers under his command were advancing and retreating under the golden drums and flags, their troops were in good order.
Zhao Tuo had a smile on his face.
After half a month of training, these five thousand people have not only become elite troops, but they are also able to obey orders and obey orders. Such an army may not be invincible on the battlefield, but at least it is a capable army, enough to give Zhao Tuo the power to attack the eastern border of Wei.
"The joint training is complete, today I will be a warrior and a great warrior!"
Zhao Tuo told Xiqigu beside him to arrange a banquet in the evening for the sergeants.
Xiqigu took the order and went down, and after the military exercise, he killed pigs and sheep in the military camp, prepared wine and feasted the soldiers.
Zhao Tuo divided the seats into three rows.
In front of all the troops, he praised the Guanzhong Army and the Hanoi Army, which had the best training results and the neatest military appearance.
Give them a front-row seat to fine wines and meats such as beef, pig, and lamb.
The two thousand and five hundred Guanzhong and Hanoi soldiers looked happy and proud, feeling that their hard work these days had indeed been in vain.
Especially when Zhao Tuo personally expressed condolences and praise to some outstanding military officers and soldiers, these people who were praised were even more grateful.
What an honor it is for a dignified military commander to praise a small soldier like himself in front of everyone!
There were even whispers.
"The Marquis loves me."
Then came the slightly worse Shangdang Army and Yingchuan Army. They sat in the middle row, and their food and drinks were slightly different from those in the front row.
Zhao Tuo also praised them first, praised them for their great progress, and then encouraged them.
"The military is proud of meritorious service, and the order of banquets is not static. If the two or three sons can achieve meritorious service in the future, I will let you sit high in the row and enjoy the envy of everyone!"
Under Zhao Tuo's personal encouragement, these Shangdang Army and Yingchuan Army knew that Zhao Tuo's seating distinction was not out of preference or selfishness. It is based on merit. As long as they work hard, they all have the possibility of sitting in the front row and enjoying the honor.
Therefore, many military officials and soldiers clenched their fists and secretly made up their minds to make great contributions in the future, like those in Guanzhong and Hanoi, sitting in the front row, eating the best wine and meat, and enjoying the praise of the military commander.
As for the worst Hanzhong Army, they sat in the back row, and the food and drinks were divided.
Zhao Tuo did not denounce these Hanzhong and Di Qiang barbarians, but encouraged them with a gentle face, telling them that if they work hard in the future, they can also sit in the front row and enjoy the best food and wine, which aroused their ambition.
Zhao Tuo also asked Bai Rong to serve as an interpreter to communicate with the Di Qiang people in each village, and reassured them that the Qiang dagger incident was over and there would not be any investigation, so that they could relax.
At the same time, Zhao Tuo also listened to their needs and words, and talked cordially with many people. Knowing that after their long journey, the shoes on their feet were already in tatters, making it very difficult to walk.
"How can I, Zhao Tuo's soldiers, go to the battlefield wearing shabby shoes?"
"Although Zhao Tuo is poor, his family still has a small amount of money."
"Soldiers have sacrificed their lives for me. How can I cherish this external thing? Today I will spend all my wealth to buy a pair of shoes for each of my two and three sons!"
Zhao Tuo waved his hand, and he wanted to buy a pair of shoes for each of the Han soldiers, and even the five thousand people in Ququ.
"The great lord of the army!"
"The Marquis loves us!"
"I am willing to serve the military commander!"
At this moment, no matter which row you sit in, no matter where you are from, whether you are from Qin or Di Qiang. All the soldiers raised their arms and shouted loudly, "The virtue of a military commander, I am willing to serve."
In the midst of the roaring tsunami, Zhao Guang, Bai Rong and other generals who were familiar with the art of war all looked shocked and couldn't help but whisper.
"Marquis Zhao has won the hearts of the soldiers!"
Facing the cheers of the crowd, Zhao Tuo looked calm with a faint smile on his lips.
"In the past, when Wu Qi was a general, he shared the same food and clothing with the lowest rank among the soldiers. He did not provide a table when lying down, and did not ride on a horse when traveling. He wrapped the grain himself and shared the labor with the soldiers. If a soldier had gangrene, he would suck it up. This is why soldiers cannot fight. Swirl heel.”
"Qin's law determines the rank of nobles and stipulates the treatment enjoyed by each noble title. I can't do this, otherwise it will be too deliberate. But you can also be kind to the soldiers to win their military morale. The Art of War says: treat soldiers like babies, so You can go to the deep stream with him; you regard your soldier as your beloved son, so you can die with him."
"Today, with just words and money, I won the hearts of all the troops. It's really a great deal."
Zhao Tuo stood with his head held high, and amid the cheers, he cast his gaze to the east.
"Wu Zi's Art of War: Encouraging Soldiers"
[Qi] He said to him: "If you have merit, you will enjoy it; if you have no merit, you will encourage it."
So Wuhou set up a temple to serve as a three-line palace to entertain the officials. For the superior skill, sit forward and move forward, and the banquet and table are also used as heavy utensils and on the prison; for the second skill, sit in the middle and move forward, the difference in the banquet and banquet utensils is reduced; for the second skill, sit backward and move forward, the banquet table has no heavy utensils.
