Lu Xuan looked at Jin Fanbing who was kneeling on the ground and Gan Ning who was thanking him, with a look of appreciation in his eyes.
This is loyalty.
This is military morale.
Jinfan soldiers with such spirit can naturally unleash their strongest fighting power when they encounter enemies on the battlefield. If an army has no energy, is all trying to sweep away the snow in front of others, and is all indifferent and cold-blooded, it will be impossible for such an army to be invincible on the battlefield.
Lu Xuan is bound to win against the Jinfan soldiers.
When such an army is brought under its command and reorganized, its essence is taken away from its dross, it will surely shine with greater brilliance.
Lu Xuan didn't reveal what he was thinking. He stretched out his hand to lift Gan Ning up and asked the other Jinfan soldiers to stand up. He smiled and said, "Although He Laoliu's injury has been treated, whether he can survive depends on his life. There’s no need to rush to say thank you.”
Gan Ning looked moved and said urgently: "Prefect Lu went through all kinds of troubles to rescue a stranger. Such kindness is already beyond the sky. We should be grateful to Prefect Lu."
Other people agreed one after another.
The way these people looked at Lu Xuan lost their previous vigilance and became even more intimate and admiring.
Lu Xuan ordered: "He Laoliu's injury has been treated and he fell asleep. There is no need to leave so many people in the camp. Just leave one or two people to guard it. Those who need to rest can go and rest."
"Go down, I'll guard you."
Gan Ning obliged.
All the soldiers retreated, leaving only Lu Xuan and Gan Ning waiting in the tent.
Lu Xuan took the initiative and said: "Brother Gan, you said there were three things before, and the first one was to save He Laoliu. There are two things you haven't mentioned yet. I have nothing to do, can you tell me?"
Gan Ning said: "Prefect Lu, my cousin is Xingba, just call me by my cousin."
Lu Xuan nodded.
Gan Ning regained his composure, gathered his thoughts, and asked: "Since Governor Lu knows the reputation of the Jinfan thief, would you please give me a review of my Jinfan camp? Let's see what shortcomings there are. This is the second thing." thing."
Lu Xuan's heart moved.
Gan Ning asked him to review Jinfan Camp because he wanted to hear his judgment and test his vision?
This must have something to say.
Lu Xuan thought for a while and said calmly: "If I hadn't seen He Laoliu in Jinfan Camp under your command, I could only talk about it in general. Now that I have seen He Laoliu, I can see that When it comes to your response and seeing the concerns of the soldiers, talk about it in detail."
"First, people in Jinfan camp are united."
"The soldiers of the Eight Hundred Jinfan Camp are not brothers, but they are better than brothers. From He Laoliu's incident, we can judge that the soldiers of the Jinfan Camp have deep feelings. Only when everyone is of one mind and people are united can they be invincible."
“This is Jinfanying’s biggest advantage.”
"Second, Jinfanying is brave and not afraid of death."
"The soldiers of Jinfan Camp are very tough, and none of them are afraid of death. The source of this mainly comes from you Xingba. It is said that when a soldier is raging, a general will be raging. The character and characteristics of a general will lead to the consequences of his subordinates. Soldiers, what have they become?"
"You Gan Xingba are not afraid of life and death and dare to fight, so the Jinfan camp is also the same. They are all elites who are brave and good at fighting."
Lu Xuan talked eloquently and continued: "With these two points alone, your Jinfan Battalion can already be called an elite. Because the army that dares to fight and is united in the hearts of the people already has strong combat effectiveness, it can be called an elite. .”
Gan Ning smiled a little shyly when he heard this.
He was a little embarrassed.
Too much praise.
Gan Ning waved his hand and said humbly: "Prefect Lu, I'm sorry, Jinfan Camp is not that good."
Lu Xuan said firmly: "It's an advantage. It's natural to say that there is no need to be modest. Jinfanying is an elite and brave son, but Jinfanying has one of the biggest shortcomings. You have read books and understand the art of war. But without you, Jinfan Camp will be abolished, because Jinfan Camp inherits your characteristics. The combat effectiveness of such an army depends on the general."
Gan Ning frowned and said, "This is also the situation of most armies. It is like this."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "That's not the case for the black-armored soldiers under my command. The basic requirements for the black-armored soldiers are that they must be literate and understand the most basic art of war. Although they are not required to remember much, they must understand."
"impossible."
Gan Ning was speechless.
His expression was even more incredible.
Studying is an extremely expensive thing, and it is out of reach of countless ordinary people, and it is even more impossible for the top soldiers in the army. Letting Datoubing study is simply a fantasy and unbelievable.
However, Lu Xuanyuan said that it seemed to be the case.
Gan Ning was in disbelief and asked again: "Prefect Lu, are all the black-armored soldiers under your command literate?"
"certainly!"
Lu Xuan looked relaxed and said: "If you don't believe it, you can ask immediately. There are a hundred black armored soldiers on my ship, who are all my personal guards and are responsible for protecting my safety. As long as there is an illiterate person, I agree You have a request.”
hiss!
Gan Ning was shocked.
He did not expect that Lu Xuan's soldiers could do this.
Gan Ning did not doubt Lu Xuan, he just didn't understand and asked: "Prefect Lu, how did you do it?"
Lu Xuan chuckled and said: "I recruited eight hundred black-armored soldiers at the beginning. These people were illiterate and they were all refugees. After reorganizing these soldiers, I required them to read and read."
"It's just, it can't just be a request."
"Only with generous rewards can I be motivated. Those who can read and write will be promoted first. Those who can read and write will be given better treatment. Those who can read and write will receive awards from the military."
"With a series of awards and the fact that it is compulsory to read and write, soldiers are naturally willing to do so, because if you don't read, you will fall behind and be disciplined, so soldiers in the army learn to read quickly."
"After the Black Armored Soldiers expanded their army, the soldiers who started to read and write became teachers of the new recruits, constantly teaching them so that the new recruits could read and write."
"In the army, an atmosphere of reading and literacy has been established. They realize the importance of reading, understand the truth better, know how to protect their homeland, know how to defend their homeland, know the honor, disgrace and shame, and gradually have faith and spiritual support. "
"With such black-armored soldiers, there will be no change even if the generals are changed. They will still be invincible and indestructible."
"Even if the first generation of generals is gone, the subsequent generals can still maintain their combat effectiveness. The army needs faith and spiritual support. It is the duty and destiny of all soldiers to protect the home and country, defend the land and open up borders."
Gan Ning listened in awe.
He didn't quite understand, but it sounded very reasonable. No wonder Lu Xuan could defeat Yuan Shu.
This is true to its name.
This is the foundation.
Gan Ning took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and said solemnly: "Prefect Lu, I have one last thing to do."
Lu Xuan asked: "Tell me about it."
Gan Ning leaned forward slightly, his eyes a little urgent, and asked: "The current emperor is like a melon rind, a complete puppet. The Han Dynasty is completely in chaos, where should our Jinfan Camp go? Prefect Lu is a knowledgeable person. , can you point out a way for me?"
A flash of light flashed across Lu Xuan's eyes.
This is the final question.
Lu Xuan also wanted to use this to achieve the purpose of recruiting Gan Ning, but Gan Ning's three questions seemed to be testing Lu Xuan from the beginning.
Lu Xuan's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "Actually, this question is not difficult at all."
Gan Ning said: "I would like to hear the details."
Lu Xuan smiled slightly and said: "I think Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou, is a better choice. Although Liu Biao is a little old and has no enterprising spirit, his governance ability is still good."
"Jingzhou will remain stable for a long time in the future. Under Liu Biao's command, Xingba will never have to worry about food and clothing, and there will be no danger."
"Besides, you don't have to worry about Liu Biao."
"Liu Biao has a good reputation and likes to recruit talented people. Even if Liu Biao values literati over military affairs and pays attention to scholars but not military affairs or generals, Liu Biao will still accept you because he wants to maintain his reputation as a courteous and virtuous corporal."
Lu Xuan said: "Jingzhou is a place to stay in troubled times. Compared with the chaos in the Central Plains, Jingzhou can be regarded as a paradise." "
Gan Ning shook his head and said: "Prefect Lu just said that Liu Biao is old and has no enterprising spirit. I don't want to live a chaotic life. I still want to seek fame, so it is not appropriate to follow Liu Biao."
Lu Xuan smiled in his heart.
That's good.
Only then can he continue, otherwise, his speaking skills will stop here.
Lu Xuan looked serious and continued: "Since Liu Biao is not suitable, choose Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, was an eunuch, he was bloodthirsty and killed people wantonly. He preferred to kill people in his dreams to establish his authority, but his shortcomings could not cover up Cao Cao. It’s awesome.”
"After Cao Cao became the shepherd of Yanzhou, he integrated Yanzhou's troops and reorganized the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou to form Qingzhou soldiers. He won consecutive battles and even broke through Xuzhou's cities. He is very capable."
"Apart from Cao Cao's many problems, Cao Cao is also very courteous to his corporal. If you go to join him, there will definitely be a place for you."
Lu Xuan didn't do much analysis.
However, a lot of Cao Cao's problems were listed.
Gan Ning was surprised when he heard this. He quickly shook his head and said, "Prefect Lu said that Cao Cao is ruthless and likes to kill people in his sleep to establish his authority. I don't approve of such a person."
Lu Xuan nodded and continued: "If Xingba doesn't choose Cao Cao, then he chooses Yuan Shao from the north. Yuan Shao was born in the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third Duke, and has a high prestige. Although Yuan Shao, like Liu Biao, values literacy over martial arts, and despises the rich. We are a poor family, but under Yuan Shao's command, you will definitely be able to gain a foothold by fawning over you. At present, the most powerful prince in the world is Yuan Shao, the shepherd of Jizhou."
"No, no."
Gan Ning shook his head again and said: "Prefect Lu said that Yuan Shao values civility over martial arts and despises poor families. A warrior from a poor family like me cannot gain a foothold under Yuan Shao's command. I don't like to go to the camp and I don't want to flatter anyone." .”
Lu Xuan sighed: "Tao Qian in Xuzhou is about to die, and Guanzhong is also in turmoil. In this way, there is no one suitable for you. After all, the Lujiang County I am in charge of is just a county. The place is too small to accommodate A great talent like Xingba.”
"You are a capable general on the battlefield, and you have your own tribe. You must look down on a small place like me."
"My suggestion is that Xingba go to Yanzhou or Jizhou. They are both good choices. In addition, Cao Cao and I are son-in-law and have some contacts with Cao Cao, so the relationship is pretty good. If Xingba goes to defect to Cao Cao, I can Recommended on behalf of others.”
"I'm not even going."
Gan Ning shook his head.
Seeing Lu Xuan's calm attitude and saying that it was just a county, he recognized Lu Xuan even more.
Lu Xuan did not praise himself or brag about himself. Instead, he enthusiastically introduced other princes to Gan Ning. Such a kindhearted person is a true gentleman.
When Lu Xuan saw He Laoliu's injury, he didn't dislike He Laoliu's stinky body and even arranged the treatment himself. This was Lu Xuan's kindness. Lu Xuan introduced his request carefully and was willing to help him bridge the gap. This was Lu Xuan's righteousness.
Such a sincere gentleman with great benevolence and righteousness, who is not lacking in means and abilities, and who returns courtesy to the virtuous corporal, is the real wise master.
Gan Ning originally wanted to submit to Lu Xuan, but after some tests, he completely agreed in his heart.
Gan Ning had no hesitation in his heart.
thump!
Gan Ning knelt on the ground again, looked up at Lu Xuan, clasped his fists and said, "I, Gan Ning, am willing to serve Lu Taishou. Please accept Lu Taishou's acceptance."
Lu Xuan looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Xingba, have you really thought about it? Although I am the governor of Lujiang County, the place I control is only one county. And when you work under my command, you must obey Orders must be obeyed and disciplined. All orders must be obeyed and no actions may be taken without authorization. Can you bear the responsibility?"
"I can!"
Gan Ning answered firmly.
He raised his hand and swore an oath: "I, Gan Ning, swear to follow the lord to the death and obey the lord's orders. If you violate this oath, you will be struck by thunder from the sky and you will not die a good death."
Lu Xuan smiled brightly.
Recruiting Gan Ning was done.
