"That's it," Lan Ze said happily without doubting the answers of the two generals, "Then I'll help you generals."
"I won't interrupt everyone's discussion, Lan. I'll take my leave." After looking around, Lan Ze said goodbye to everyone with a polite expression and left.
"Congratulations, my lord."
"Congratulations, my lord."
"Sir, walk slowly!"
…
One after another, the generals got up and sent Lanze away. After Lanze left, they looked at the generals of other battalions with dissatisfied expressions. In the end, the generals decided to slow down the reward first, and they separated to stabilize the situation. The mood of the soldiers below.
After they conveyed the decision to postpone the reward, many soldiers were very dissatisfied, but no one dared to make trouble. After the queue was dismissed, the soldiers of the several battalions ate separately as usual. The meal tonight was still very rich. After the meal, The originally agitated soldiers were in a much calmer mood. Although they still considered rewards and sending troops, they no longer reacted as fiercely as before.
After dinner time passed, the generals worked tirelessly to discuss for a period of time and finally came to the preliminary results. They would reward the soldiers according to their positions, and the amount of spiritual stones they would be rewarded would be reduced in sequence from captains to ordinary soldiers.
This method seems fair, but in fact it is not fair at all, because the soldiers have different levels of merit. Unfortunately, the generals can no longer control so much. After finally completing what Lan Wu told them, they all thought about formulating a plan in the future. The method of counting military merits, and then rewarding soldiers according to their military merits, is only fair.
At night, in a house, ten people, including Lu Yunyou and Gao Li brothers, slept together. The house they lived in was the original Fengjun camp. It was not spacious enough and there were not many rooms, so that every room was full of people. Ten soldiers are to be assigned.
Of course, there is another reason why Lu Yunyou and the others sleep in such a crowded place. That is the general above wants to use this to free up more rooms to provide a better resting environment for the wounded soldiers. In any case, it is better to have a house to sleep in than to sleep in a house. Nice outside.
After midnight, the Star Army camp was completely silent. There were no soldiers or busy figures. Everything inside and outside the city, up and down, was so peaceful and orderly.
The bones of the Feng Army have been buried, and most of the fallen soldiers of the Star Army have been buried separately. Only the bodies of some generals have been properly preserved. The Blue Martial Arts Society sent people to return those corpses to the Star Kingdom.
After two days of cleaning, everything inside and outside the city gate had been cleaned up. Half of the corpses of thousands of horses had been eaten, and the other half was left for the army to eat before setting off. This time after capturing Languan, the Star Army gained too much loot. The number of weapons is several times greater than the number of damaged weapons, especially in terms of bows and arrows, all arrows have been used as military supplies.
In addition, the Star Army also received two thousand vigorous horses, which meant that the cavalry camp could replenish its troops. In terms of food and grass, the food and grass the Star Army received plus the original food and grass were enough for them to use for several months. The only problem was the armor. It is difficult to unify. In order to avoid accidentally injuring his own people during the next war, Lan Wu still strictly requires uniform uniforms.
In the past, the Star Army had a very sufficient reserve of military uniforms, but after fighting several battles, the soldiers' armor was too damaged, so now many people can no longer wear complete armor.
It is difficult to unify the uniforms of the Star Army in a short period of time, so in the past day, Lan Wu considered many trivial issues. Because there are so many people in the army, every issue cannot be ignored.
Lan Wu was not surprised by the way the generals awarded rewards based on their military ranks. Since those generals couldn't think of a suitable way, they could only distribute them in this way. After all, he had given full power to those generals. If those generals failed to do so, To resolve this matter, he will hold those people accountable.
Throughout the day, the generals were busy, and Lan Wu, who had been thinking about things, was also not idle. Spies kept reporting new news to him, some of which were related to the situation in Feng Kingdom, and some of which were related to the Star Army. internal situation.
The soldiers' private discussions about the military situation have reached his ears. Unsurprisingly, many soldiers cannot accept the decision to send out the army as soon as possible. Speaking of which, they have been busy fighting against the Feng Army recently. Although they have also been Even after winning a battle, one still feels deeply tired. It is a state of being energetic on the surface, but actually a little tired. If things go on like this, this situation will gradually evolve into a potential hidden danger.
Fortunately, the morale of the army has certain benefits in relieving the inner pressure of the soldiers. It can reduce the inner fatigue of the soldiers to a certain extent, allowing the soldiers' will to gradually become stronger, thus ensuring the normal physical condition.
Just as Lan Wu had thought before, excessively inflated morale would lead to complacency among many soldiers, causing them to develop a mentality of underestimating the enemy, making it difficult for them to use their full strength in future battles. Lan Wu's earlier decision to send troops as early as possible was partly due to the consideration of military morale. question.
In order to completely crush Feng Guo's resistance, Lan Wu is not sure yet unless he can unite the soldiers of the three armies. But judging from the news he got today, many problems have been exposed in the army. The soldiers are dissatisfied with the upper management, and each battalion The feud between the generals and everything made him realize that their Star Army was not as powerful as everyone thought.
To change these situations and make the army truly strong, we can only rectify the morale of the military, enforce strict discipline, distinguish rewards and punishments, and treat everyone equally. However, if these measures are forcibly used to stabilize the morale of the military, it may cause dissatisfaction among some soldiers, even if more soldiers are ultimately willing to obey orders. Some, that's not what he wants to see.
After a period of consideration, Lan Wu felt that he could start with those generals, so shortly after nightfall, he called the generals of the battalions together for a meeting. After the meeting began, Lan Wu did not directly mention the issue of going to war as soon as possible, but just asked the generals to go to war as soon as possible. First, give him a detailed report on the situation in the army.
Facing Lan Wu's request, the generals successively described the situation in the army in detail, so that the generals present would know what the current situation in the army was.
While describing the problem, the generals also took the initiative to explain the measures they took to solve the problem, just to satisfy Lan Wu.
When they explained the method of rewarding soldiers and asked Lan Wu if it was appropriate, Lan Wu did not directly judge whether they were right or wrong. Of course, there was no right or wrong in this point, only good or bad, because they had not yet established statistics on military merit. method cannot satisfy all soldiers.
After learning about the situation in the army, the generals who still didn't know Lan Wu's intentions listened intently as other generals reported the information they had tortured from the prisoners today. It was not until half an hour later that more than a dozen generals Only then did he explain clearly the situation in the army.
"I deeply apologize for calling you all here so late to discuss matters and delaying your rest." Lan Wu has a similar attitude to Lan Ze towards these generals who have made great achievements in battle. They value them very much. The difference is that his every move He still showed his majesty as a commander-in-chief at all times.
Even if his tone was calm, those generals still would not think that he was very polite to them, and they would not dare to boast of their hard work in front of him.
"Just now, I have asked several generals to explain the situation of the enemy and us. Maybe you are still not clear about the situation of the enemy, but I think you must be very clear about the situation in our army." Slowly, the generals' After looking over his face, Lan Wu continued: "I will not repeat what you have said. I summoned you here tonight to discuss the matter of setting off the army the day after tomorrow. I wonder if you generals feel that I Are your decisions a bit hasty?"
"I really don't know why the marshal is in such a hurry to send troops. Our army has just captured Languan and there is a shortage of men and horses in the army. Why don't we rest for a few more days?"
"Languan Pass has been broken, and it will be a matter of time to attack Fengguo Jing. Does it mean that the marshal wants to fight Fengguo as soon as possible?"
"Without sufficient time to recuperate, those wounded soldiers cannot participate in the battle at all. Moreover, many people in the army are deeply puzzled by the marshal's instructions to rush to send troops. I wonder what the marshal's plan is?"
"General Yimo sees that the current situation of our army is not suitable for marching. It is better to wait until all the military supplies our army needs are delivered before sending troops. At that time, our army can be fully prepared."
…
When Lan Wuming said that the generals could express their opinions at will, those generals who were also puzzled by Lan Wu's military order to send troops directly expressed their opinions. Some even used this to persuade Lan Wu not to send troops for the time being.
"The analysis of several generals is not unreasonable. I wonder if other people have the same or opposite opinions?" Not only the generals of each battalion were present, but also some ordinary generals of each battalion. It was Lan Wu who asked so many people to come here. Would like to hear more people's opinions.
Meeting Lan Wu's gaze, some generals looked thoughtful, some opened their mouths to say something but didn't, and some generals lowered their heads and didn't know what they were thinking.
In the blink of an eye, Lan Wu had seen the behavior of more than a dozen generals, and finally his eyes rested on the commander of the third battalion. Those nine commanders among the dozen generals were the ones who could really influence his decision-making. He must listen. Listen to those people.
"Marshal, I think that the suggestions of the generals to persuade the marshal to withdraw the military order just now are reasonable. Our army's current situation is indeed not suitable for sending troops. If the marshal allows our army to rest for a while, our army will definitely defeat the Feng Army. remaining military strength."
Facing Lan Wu's inquiry, the commander of the cavalry camp, Zhao Xianzhi, expressed his views with a serious face. His words were full of general demeanor. Even some of the generals next to him were affected by his aura. Their expressions became excited, and they all felt that he was talking. It made sense, but Lan Wu was unmoved and turned to look at Li Qiyue, another cavalry commander.
