Chapter 22 Military Orders Like Mountains
It's useless to think so much now. I know the direction of history, and whether there are famous generals doesn't seem to be that important in this battle. Because the important thing for famous generals is to be able to judge the situation of the war and the subsequent development, and make emergency strategies. And this
The direction of this matter has been set. Basically, all that is required is to resolutely implement your own military orders.
After all, Liu Xun had arranged everything in place, delivered the orders in place when the time came, and then the generals could resolutely execute them, so everything would be worry-free.
"It's time to strengthen the training of soldiers and generals on military orders, especially on the execution of orders and prohibitions. After all, the war is coming soon. So how can we make them habitually obey orders?" Liu Xun murmured to himself, and suddenly Liu Xun
A bright light flashed in his head, and he thought of something.
Historically, Maodun, a Huns, was originally the crown prince of his father, Touman Chanyu. Later, Touman Chanyu's beloved Yan gave birth to a younger son, and Touman Chanyu wanted to kill Modun and make his younger son the crown prince.
So he sent Mao Dun to the Yuezhi to be a hostage. As soon as Mao Dun arrived at the Yuezhi, Touman immediately attacked the Yuezhi. The Yuezhi wanted to kill Mao Dun, but Mo Dun stole the Yuezhi's good horse and rode it back to the Huns.
.
Later, when he saw that Maodun had escaped safely, Touman Shanyu thought that he was brave and capable of being a general, so he gave up his previous idea and appointed him as the captain of ten thousand men and commanded ten thousand cavalry.
But Modu began to feel extremely dissatisfied with his father at this time.
Therefore, Mao Dun made a kind of sounding arrow, trained his men in horseback archery, and ordered: "Anyone who does not follow me and shoot at the target with my sounding arrow will be beheaded."
First, he shot at birds and beasts. If some people did not shoot at the target of the rattle arrow, Mao Dun killed them. Soon, Mo Dun shot his favorite horse with a rattle arrow. There were people on the left and right who did not dare to shoot, so Mao Dun immediately killed them.
A few days later, Mao Dun shot his beloved wife with a resounding arrow. Some of the people around him were frightened and did not dare to shoot, so Mao Dun killed them again. A few days later, Mao Dun went out hunting and shot a single man with a resounding arrow.
Yu's horse was shot, and everyone on the left and right followed suit.
So Mao Dun felt that the people around him were all usable people until now.
Then he went hunting with his father, Touman Chanyu, and shot Touman Chanyu in the head with a loud arrow. The people around him also shot arrows at Touman Chanyu, and Touman died on the spot.
Afterwards, Maodun killed all his stepmother, younger brother and ministers who disobeyed him, and established himself as Chanyu.
For Liu Xun now, this matter was simply tailor-made for him.
At dawn the next day, Liu Xun, who was so excited, sent someone to pass on the order: "All officers with more than ten captains must gather at the school grounds."
The attendants followed the order and left... As for why it was not the whole army, Liu Xun also had his own considerations.
First, 30,000 people are too many. I definitely can’t bring them here by myself. As long as the officers can be commanded well, the team can easily point them to where to attack. Just one or two soldiers who don’t obey the command are not too big.
relationship, because they can't affect the overall situation at all. Besides, after training officers themselves, they will definitely train soldiers.
When Liu Xun arrived at the school grounds, the generals had already gathered. The speed was definitely much faster than before. Liu Xun nodded with satisfaction, took a step forward with his head held high and ordered loudly:
"The whole army will listen to the order and run to the North District immediately. At that time, each person will resist a stone and come back."
The officers on the school field were basically confused after hearing this. What order did the lord give? Fight against stones? There are stones everywhere here. Do you need to run so far to resist? Could it be that he gave the wrong order?
Sure enough, as Liu Xun finished speaking, as expected, someone in the crowd immediately put forward an opinion. This was a commander named Chen Qi. He was very puzzled by this military order, and he was not very upright.
Thinking of something else, I asked casually:
"Lord, there are rocks everywhere here. If you need us, just go and find them nearby. I guarantee you will have as much as you want. Why bother to go so far to get them?"
Seeing that someone jumped out to question his military order, Liu Xun couldn't help frowning and scolded loudly.
"How dare you, this is a military order, what is issued by the military order, you just have to complete it, why is there so much nonsense. I just issued an order, but no one of you carried it out. This shows that the iron law of military orders is like a mountain, for you
It has not been engraved into your instincts at all. So now I announce your punishment. Each of you will hold a stone and run ten laps along the school field."
The people below saw Liu Xun getting angry and naturally did not dare to say anything. Everyone picked up the stones and ran. But most people were still dissatisfied, and some resentment was unavoidable. Although they were very grateful to Liu Xun,
This does not mean that everything Liu Xun did was right.
Regarding these, Liu Xun is too lazy to explain now. In the end, they will naturally understand his good intentions.
The next day, without any surprise, they were gathered together again.
Since being punished inexplicably yesterday, these people have all learned wisely today. They thought that since the lord cares about face, no matter what the lord says today, they will not refute it, but just do it.
Everyone queued up early in the morning to wait for Liu Xun's arrival, but the ideal was beautiful, and the reality was very harsh. They started waiting early in the morning, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't even see Liu Xun's figure. Now some people were a little agitated.
I couldn't sit still anymore, thinking that maybe my lord had something to do and couldn't come, and he forgot to call someone to disperse. Seeing that the sun was in the sky, it was almost noon, and at this time, "coincidentally" another cook came to inform them that lunch was ready.
Everyone who had been standing all morning was now tired and hungry, and everyone was a little irritable. After all, this fruitless waiting is always so hopeless. Could it be that if the lord doesn't come for three days, they will stay here without sleeping or eating.
Standing there for three days? How is this possible? Finally, some people who are not mentally determined enough can't help but want to run away.
Liu Wu was a centurion, and he was very disapproving of it at the moment, but he felt a little guilty for letting him leave alone. If everyone left together, it would definitely be fine. After all, everyone understands that the law does not punish the crowd.
He quietly came to his commander Liu Jie and asked: "General Liu, why don't we go to dinner first? It's not the same thing to wait like this.
Although Liu Jie also felt that Liu Wu's words had some truth, after yesterday's incident, Liu Jie felt that his lord's words were true to the military order. As a soldier, he must imprint this iron law in his mind. He gritted his teeth and said firmly
:
"Everything I have is given by my lord. Even if I am allowed to stay here for three days and three nights, I will never frown. And I think my lord is wise and powerful, and he must have his reasons for doing this. Listen to me
I would like to advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."
Having said this, Liu Jie unknowingly strengthened his determination.
Deng Qiang, Zhang Zong, and a large number of senior generals also had this idea.
Among these people, only Tieniu, a simple and honest man, did not have any other ideas. He only had the lord in his heart. He thought that when he was a soldier, he never had enough to eat or wear good clothes, let alone become a captain of thousands.
