In the Xie Li farm tent, Shao Ling, Cao Zhiyan, Yu Huan and Niu Gao were sitting around. There is a jar of wine in the middle, a few dishes to go with the wine, and a few people drinking and sitting around.
After drinking for a while, Yu Huan said: "The longer I follow Zhizhou, the harder it becomes to understand. At the beginning, he led us to charge and kill, which can be said to be invincible. Now that we have soldiers, we have begun to be careful, unlike before. "
Shao Ling said: "What's wrong with this? In the past, people in Xiaoshe didn't think much about just survival, even survival from death. Now we have more than a thousand soldiers, plus their families, it means thousands of lives. We don't think much about it. If something goes wrong, how many people will suffer along with it!"
Yu Huan thought for a while and nodded: "What you said makes sense."
If Wang Xiaolie hadn't mentioned it during the post-war summary, these people wouldn't have thought of this. The characteristics of the times, at this time, how can a subordinate question the leader? Wang Xiaolie said it, and these few people noticed it.
Niu Gao said: "It's strange to say that Zhizhou himself must first say his own fault, so that we can reflect on ourselves. If Zhizhou doesn't say it, who would think about it? If others say it, they will try their best to refute it."
Cao Zhiyan smiled and said: "You have only been here for a short time, and you are not familiar with the people of Xiaoshe. As time goes by, you will naturally get used to it."
Niu Gao said: "How can Zhizhou build prestige by talking about himself like this? If he often makes mistakes, the people below will naturally be dissatisfied."
"Who doesn't make mistakes?" Shao Ling raised his head. "It's just a matter of saying it or not saying it. Zhizhou made it clear that he was not born to be a commander, and we are not born to be famous generals. We can only learn war through war. Only when you know you are wrong can you correct your mistakes. You are very secretive about your mistakes and dare not speak out. How to change it? Commander Niu, you have to get used to it slowly."
Yu Huan said: "What you said makes sense. However, if Zhizhou is not a natural commander, why does everyone obey him if he does this?"
After hearing this, the other people lowered their heads in thought. After thinking for a long time, Shao Ling said: "You are really confused by what you said. This army is made up of old officials and diligent kings, and everyone is recruited into the army by the old officials. After the old officials died in the battle, Xiao Sheren took over as the leader. , we followed Xiao Sheren."
The others nodded together. This is really the truth. Why did Wang Xiaolie become the leader? It's because he is the son of an old official. No one doubts this question. As soon as they thought about it, everyone listened to Wang Xiaolie's instructions.
Xie Li Nongdao: "The old official was born in a farm family. He has been smart and friendly since he was a child, and everyone likes him. When he became a Jinshi in adulthood, he was very good to the villagers. Most of the old officials came forward to build bridges and pave roads in the countryside. He made a lot of money. Everyone here respects the old officials."
Niu Gao said: "I have also heard of Wang Jinshi from Liang County in this state."
Among these people, only Xie Linong and Niugao were from Ruzhou. Shaoling was from Zhengzhou, Yu Huan was from Kaifeng and Chenliu, and Cao Zhiyan was a monk. They had never heard of Wang Rudai's name before, they were all familiar with it in the military. I have only known Wang Xiaolie for a few months.
Drinking and talking nonsense. Several people felt that it was indeed amazing that they could trust Wang Xiaolie.
Zhang Jun entered the commander's tent, sang a promise, and presented the statistics of Wang Jun's army.
Wang Xiaolie looked at it and said, "I didn't expect that Wang Jun would have such a rich family background. These mountain kings cannot be underestimated."
Zhang Jun said: "They looted everywhere, so there is naturally a lot of treasure."
Wang Jun's army has more than 1,300 soldiers and nearly 100 leaders. In addition to the army, there are more than 3,000 households with various populations, and there are basically no old or weak people. These people were invaded by the Jin soldiers and the people from surrounding states and counties came to seek refuge.
There are grains exceeding ten thousand stones and fodder exceeding ten thousand surroundings. Wang Jun has scoured the area in the past few months. The army has more than 200 horses, more than 100 cattle, more than 300 sheep, and more than a thousand chickens, ducks and geese. People from dozens of miles around gathered here either voluntarily or by being robbed.
There are more than 200 jars of wine, more than 200 pieces of silk, and more than 500 pieces of cloth. They were accumulated by the rich families who Wang Jun robbed and escaped.
Finally, including gold and silverware, there were more than 200 taels of gold, more than 800 taels of silver, and dozens of pearls, gems, jade, corals, etc.
Wang Xiaolie looked at it and couldn't help but marveled. This mountain king has a richer family background than his own. Normally speaking, Wang Jun's army was no less numerous than Wang Xiaolie's, and their plunder was much more severe and lasted longer.
Put down the accounts. Wang Xiaoxing said: "The soldiers on the mountain will be organized into a single team first and escorted back to Ruzhou. After training, some of them can become qualified soldiers. Food, grass, horses, cattle and sheep will be escorted back to Ruzhou by the army. Then hand it over to Yang Shen. You can choose someone to carry the cotton cloth, gold, silver, treasures, etc. This is our treasury, so don’t be careless in the slightest."
Zhang Jun crossed his hands and sang the promise, feeling very happy. Allowing him to escort the treasure showed that Wang Xiaolie valued him, which was a great thing. As for the military treasury, who would believe such nonsense? There is no one in the world who does not love gold and silver. Isn't the military treasury Wang Xiaolie's own treasury?
After thinking about it, Wang Xiaolie said: "Since you started in Kaifeng Mansion, you have learned everything you can. Especially in military affairs, you have learned much better than others. Not to mention you can read and write. There is no other comparison. This time After you go back, spend three months studying hard. You really have learned everything and become a leader like the others."
Zhang Jun crossed his hands: "Thank you Zhizhou! I will definitely live up to Zhizhou's love!"
Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "It's because of your own efforts that you have this opportunity. Do things well and don't think too much about other things."
Zhang Jun said yes. Just looking at his expression, which was beaming with joy, I didn't know whether he understood what Wang Xiaolie meant.
After Zhang Jun came out of his command, Wang Xiaolie sat there, lost in thought for a moment. During this period of time, I could feel that the generals under my command did not quite understand my new ideas and methods. Although they promised to do whatever they said, it was hard to say what they thought in their hearts.
what else can we do? The ideological gap of a thousand years cannot be erased so easily. Enlighten the people's wisdom, reform the system, and transform society. Do these things bit by bit. When will it be done? Wang Xiaolie doesn't have that kind of patience, and there isn't that much time in this world. You can only keep doing this and choose your fellow travelers from those who follow you.
If no one understands you in ten years, then use twenty, thirty, or even one hundred years. As long as you maintain the general trend, build a strong army, and drive the Jin army out of the Central Plains, others will listen to you.
Listen to yourself. Wang Xiaolie shook his head. What I brought back from a thousand years ago was actually just the opposite. It is necessary to listen to the people and the voice of the world. There is no way, many people in this world do not have their own ideas.
Zhang Jun came out of the handsome tent and felt very high-spirited. After living for more than ten years, I feel that I am no longer as happy as I am today. I never thought that one day I would stand out from others. At that time, I was killing people in Caizhou, but I didn't expect that it would be such a benefit later.
Cao Zhiyan came out to relieve himself. When he returned to Shao Ling's tent, he saw Zhang Jun coming. He said, "Are you done with your work?"
Zhang Jun said: "Everything is done. I just handed it over to Zhizhou. I don't know how happy Zhizhou is to see it!"
Cao Zhiyan said: "Since we're done, let's come in and chat for a while. The rest of the people are in this tent, sitting and talking."
After hearing this, Zhang Jun hurriedly agreed. These military commanders do not call themselves by name when they talk every day. I guess they rely on their status and look down on themselves. By inviting me today, could it be that you know Zhizhou’s arrangements?
After entering Commander Shao Ling's tent, Zhang Jun saluted the others.
When Zhang Jun sat down, Shao Ling glanced at Cao Zhiyan, blaming him for being nosy. This kind of gathering is held between military commanders. Although Zhang Jun was favored by Wang Xiaolie, he was not the commander after all.
Seeing Zhang Jun sit down, they stopped talking about the previous topic and just chatted. Obviously, in the eyes of these people, Zhang Jun was a little bit like Wang Xiao hunting for the lucky ones, which was different from them.
Zhang Jun couldn't feel it, he was just extremely excited.
