Li You was very angry. He gritted his teeth and bit his lip until it bled.
In addition to anger, he also felt uncomfortable, sad and a little aggrieved.
Unfortunately, since Li Younan went to the south and served as a military commander in Qin's "Southern Army", he has truly "loved his soldiers like his own son."
Li You completely followed what Sun Tzu Wu said, "Treating soldiers as babies, treating soldiers as beloved sons". He treated all the 5,000 Chu people in Nanjun under his command as infants and beloved sons, and he spent a lot of thought on it.
As soon as he entered the camp, Li You couldn't wait to start winning "military morale" according to the plan he had set in Xianyang.
The first step is to use his authority to feast on the soldiers, kill cattle and sheep to reward the soldiers, and let his subordinates eat and drink well.
Before the soldiers even started fighting, they feasted and drank heavily for three consecutive days. This made the quartermaster in charge of logistics complain endlessly, and he turned around and reported it to the captain above.
The captain knew Li You's origins and did not want to offend Li Si, the court captain, so he called Li You to the tent and told him his difficulties, how his colleagues and subordinates criticized him, and how the military supplies were tight.
"My subordinates know this and will never do it again."
Li You agreed with a smile on his face.
Then as soon as they left the camp, some trusted soldiers quietly spread the word in the military camp.
In order to let his second and third sons eat and drink well, Li Junhou was scolded and reprimanded by his superiors and suffered many grievances.
From now on, we can no longer let everyone eat minced meat and drink broth every day like before.
But Li Junhou will not ignore the food of the second and third sons. Whenever there is an opportunity in the future, he will give the second and third sons extra meals!
Sure enough, all the five thousand Nanjun soldiers were grateful to Li You.
Mr. Li Jun is a good man.
In order to make everyone drink broth, he was scolded and insulted. He is really a rare general who loves his soldiers.
In just a few days, Li You established a firm foundation in the camp and gained the love of his soldiers, and he couldn't help but feel proud.
"not enough!"
On the day of departure, Li You carefully inspected the camp again.
After turning around in a circle, he pointed to the tattered shoes on the feet of a few poor soldiers and said to his left and right: "My subordinates, Li You, are just like my children. How can any parent let their children wear tattered shoes and shoes for hundreds of years?" You are here to fight, this is not okay! I, Li You, will pay for it and buy a pair of shoes for each of the two or three people!"
"The great virtue of the military commander is unparalleled throughout the ages."
"Marquis Li Jun loves his soldiers as much as he loves his sons!"
The cronies immediately cheered and shouted, and the soldiers were also extremely moved and had a great impression of Li Junhou.
"Not enough, this is not enough!"
Li Youxin had great ambitions and decided to carry out his love for soldiers to the end.
On the march to Shangcai, he followed the example of Wu Qi in the past and walked with the lowest rank of soldiers. He did not provide a table when lying down, and did not ride when traveling. He wrapped the grain himself and shared the labor with the soldiers.
After working for two days, Li You felt sore and achy all over his body. He had to call his cronies to check in every night to give him massages to relieve his fatigue.
But looking at the admiring eyes of his soldiers, Li You felt that everything was worth it.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the military judge to use military law to dissuade Li You in public on the grounds of "nobility and inferiority", so that Junhou Li could only get into the chariot full of "regret".
After a long journey, this "Southern Army" of the Qin State rushed to the Qin-Chu border. Under the command of deputy general Yang Duanhe, they stationed themselves on the Shangcai Rushui line to confront the Chu army.
….
After the Qin army was stationed, Li You still cared about the soldiers' food, clothing, clothing, food, clothing, and thoughts every time he visited the camp, and solved many problems for the soldiers.
For example, during his last tour of the camp, he saw two brothers among the soldiers wearing thick clothes in the hot summer, with their heads covered with sweat.
After asking, I found out that the two brothers were from Anlu County, Nan County. They were unable to buy summer clothes because they were short of money. They were about to write a letter home and ask their mother to send money to buy clothes.
"There is no need to go home and ask your parents for money. Since you have become my subordinates, I, Li Youben, will love you as my own children. I will buy these summer clothes for you!"
Photographed kindly by Li You
He patted the shoulder of the elder brother, the black boy, and felt that the man's black face and white teeth were quite pleasing to the eye, so he casually made a promise.
He turned around and ordered his men to buy summer clothes for all the soldiers in the army to show his love for the soldiers.
Amid the praise from the entire camp, Li You was not satisfied.
"It's not enough, it's just a little bit worse!"
"I want them to love me and make them willing to die for me!"
"In the old days when Wu Qi was a general, if his soldiers had gangrene, he would suck it. This is why the soldiers did not turn on their heels in battle."
Li You was a little hesitant at first, but when he thought of the humiliation he suffered in Xianyang, he thought of Zhao Tuo showing off his power.
He couldn't help but clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "What you Zhao Tuo can't do, I, Li You, can do."
"I'm better than you!"
On that day, Li You personally walked into the tent of the gangrenous person in the camp.
When the soldiers heard this, they were inexplicably shocked. They all said that Marquis Li's act of loving his soldiers was so heroic.
However, among the praises that filled the camp, there was still a piece of gossip quietly spreading.
"The military commander loves hemorrhoids."
No matter what, Li You finally put into practice the military training methods he learned. The five thousand soldiers under his command were in admiration of him. People everywhere said, "Marquis Li loves his soldiers as much as he loves his sons."
Li You was very proud, and sometimes even compared himself with Wu Qi, the famous general who loved his soldiers as his sons.
He sometimes fantasizes about the scene where he leads these five thousand soldiers to kill all directions and shock the world.
I, Li You, must make Zhao Tuo bow down, marry the princess, and be loved by the King of Qin.
Just when Li You was full of ambition and excitement.
Someone in the military camp first knew about Li You's performance in the battle against Chu last year and his reputation in Xianyang City. The name "Li Paopao" quietly spread throughout the army.
"There must be someone in the army who is jealous of me and is deliberately trying to ruin my reputation!"
Li You was very angry, but there was nothing he could do. After all, most of the upper-level generals in the Qin army knew about his past achievements. It was normal for some people to be jealous of him and secretly reveal it.
When he thought of the changes in the way the soldiers looked at him during his two days of patrolling the camp, and the hidden slander and slander.
Li You was angry.
He remembered the last sentence in The Art of War, "You treat a soldier like a baby, so you can go to a deep stream with him; you treat a soldier like a beloved son, so you can die with him."
"Thickness cannot be used, love cannot be controlled, chaos cannot be cured, just like a arrogant man, he cannot be used."
"It seems that I spoil you too much."
Li You's eyes flashed with coldness, and he summoned his cronies, and roared: "Anyone in the army who dares to insult the superiors will be dealt with according to military law. Anyone who knows the truth and fails to report it will be punished by sitting down."
….
The next day, several soldiers who secretly made fun of "Li Paopao" were reported by Shiwu Paoze and their heads were hung above the camp gate.
The whole camp suddenly fell silent. The soldiers did not dare to speak and looked at each other.
Only then did Li You feel satisfied.
He stood on the general platform in the school field and looked at the five thousand soldiers standing neatly below.
Caress it, intimidate it.
Li You has now made these five thousand people love, fear, respect and obey him.
In this way, the military morale is available.
Li You turned his head and looked toward the northeastern divide.
His eyes seemed to be able to see the young general on the other side of the chasm through the gate of the camp and through the fields.
"Zhao Tuo, I, Li You, will never be inferior to you in this battle to destroy Chu."
"I've become stronger!"
"I also want to fight my own back-and-forth battle!"
Li You murmured and told his dream.
…
Just when the Qin and Chu armies were confronting each other on the border.
The distant capital of Qi.
In the main hall of Qi Palace, the new Qi Prime Minister Tianjia shook his gray beard and said to the old man on the king's couch: "Your Majesty, Qin and Chu are now facing each other at the border, with hundreds of thousands of troops gathered, and neither side dares to act rashly. In this way, Come,
The actions of my country Qi can determine the situation of the world! "
Speaking of this, Tian Ji became even more excited and said: "As long as we, Qi State, send troops to help Qin, Qin will win, and if we help Chu, Chu will win!"
On the king's couch, Qi Wangjian, who was in his fifties, looked at his younger brother's spitting appearance and said calmly: "So, you want me to send troops to help Chu?"
Tian Jia nodded and said, "Of course, just as Lord Songyang of the Chu State said just now, if the Chu State is destroyed by the Qin people, then only Qi and Qin will be left in the world. With the heart of the King of Qin, he is a tiger and a wolf." , since you have destroyed five countries, how can you let me, Qi, go?"
"So this battle between Qin and Chu is not only a battle that determines the survival of the state of Chu, but also concerns the fate of our country of Qi. I hope that the king can send troops to attack Qin and save our country of Qi, which is also the heart of saving the people of the world."
Qi Wangjian sneered: "Even if I send troops to attack Qin, what will happen if Chu is defeated in the end?"
"Once Chu falls, the King of Qin will be angry with me, and then Qi will be truly destroyed. On the contrary, as long as I, the State of Qi, do not participate in it, the King of Qin will not take action against me."
"Then the world will be divided into two parts, with Emperor Qin in the west and King Qi in the east. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
Dongjun taking off
