Liu Muzhi sighed softly: "This involves what kind of army and subordinates you want. If you have a way to ensure that these young generals obey your orders, then there is no need to attack their armies.
, For example, to Ashou, Tieniu, and Da Zhuang, their people and their entire troops will be loyal to you, but are there many such generals in the Beifu Army now? "
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "The three people you mentioned, Tianzi, Zhene, and Lingshi, are loyal to me. There may be conflicts between Tianzi and Zhene, but with my order, they will go through fire and water.
I won’t even blink an eye.”
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "Jinnu, you must understand one thing. In the past, you and your old brother from Beifu had a life-long friendship on the battlefield. They fought side by side countless times and went through life and death, especially Wuqiao Ze.
In the battle, you rushed into the black fire to save everyone, so all the brothers who survived that battle will be loyal to you, including Zhuge Changmin, who does not share your ideals, but still follows you, also because
This battle was a life-saving grace."
"As for later people like the Tan family brothers, the Zhu family brothers, the Shen family's five tigers, Liu Zhong, the Wang family brothers, and the Meng family brothers, they were a generation lower than you seniors from the old Beifu, and they joined the army eight to ten years later.
, although there is not a generation gap, there are two age groups in the military. When you are the commander of the army and command thousands of troops, they only start from the grassroots officers such as captains and centurions.
You are more out of admiration for your seniors and military legends. It is the kind of admiration that juniors have for their seniors. But after all, there is a gap in identity and status between you and them. It was you who led them to make achievements. Without Ah Shou, there would be nothing.
Taboo, the feeling of these old brothers fighting side by side and living and dying together!"
Liu Yu shook his head: "That's not the case. I am not leading them like Marshal Liu did to me, sending me to a certain place to perform tasks alone. Starting from guarding Luoyang, to pacifying the demon thieves, and then to Jianyi Jingkou, I and them
We all live and die together in the same army. I am indeed in the command position of the Chinese army, but when it comes to desperate situations, I will still lead them to lead the charge and charge into the battle. I will still fight side by side with them on the battlefield.
, the friendship of life and death with the old brothers that we bleed and sweat together has not changed!"
Liu Muzhi laughed: "It's still different. You, Ah Shou and Ping Ping are brothers who can help each other. You can safely leave your back to these companions, and you can even safely leave your back to Xi on the battlefield."
Le. But for these young subordinates of yours, you always have to command them from behind, or protect them from the front when charging, because they are your subordinates, your nephews, not your brothers. These two
The feeling is different, even though it looks similar."
Liu Yu nodded thoughtfully: "You said it, it seems true. When charging with Wuji and Ah Shou, I don't have to worry about my flanks and back, because I know there will always be someone to help me defend, but with the leader
When charging Tianzi and Lingshi, I had to think about whether they were in danger and how to take care of them. Maybe this is really a different mentality."
Liu Muzhi said seriously: "So even though their status has risen now. They have the military rank of general and can independently command an army, their mentality has not changed. They are your subordinates, little brother, and they will obey your command."
, but it’s hard to say whether they will risk their lives and die for you like your old brothers. On the battlefield, you will feel that they are very brave, charging ahead, and fearless of life and death like you, but this is for themselves.
Or is it for you? When you really want to risk your life, will you be like Bo Bo, even if you don’t care about your own life to protect you?"
Liu Yu closed his eyes and murmured: "If you say so, maybe the Zhu family brothers can do this. Others, hey, even if they are suppressing evil, they may not be able to risk their lives to protect me."
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "That's it. The change in origin I mentioned is actually, to put it bluntly, the mentality and purpose of joining the army are different from before. Most of the brothers from the old Beifu are from Jingkou or Lianghuai. They started from the grassroots and talked about
It's the kind of brotherly loyalty, but many of these new generation generals are from military strategists or from wealthy families. Most of them join the army to honor their ancestors and make achievements. When it comes to life and death, they are not necessarily willing to sacrifice their lives.
Protect your comrades and colleagues."
"If you can sacrifice your own life for your comrades, how can you hurt the harmony between brothers just for a little credit? Wang Zhene joins the army to restore the glory of their Wang family ancestors. After all, Wang Meng is a famous prime minister through the ages, and Wang Zhen'e joins the army.
Zhen evil has been valued by his grandfather since he was a child, and he feels that he has a great responsibility. He joins the army, joins your men, and expresses himself in every possible way. He hopes that one day he can serve as a general and lead thousands of troops to fight back to Guanzhong and fight for the former Qin Dynasty.
While taking revenge, we can also revive the Wang family's name again."
"As for the Shen brothers, they are also unwilling to be suppressed by the senior members of the family and the old men from the north. If they have the opportunity, they want to use their strength to stand up and control their own destiny as the surname of Wu. Tianshi Dao can give them this opportunity.
They will join Tianshi Dao. Now that you can give them a better opportunity, they will recognize you as their commander. Jinu, you must stay awake about this!"
Liu Yu frowned: "Don't say it so realistically and coldly. Regarding the Shen family, I saved the lives of their entire family and gave them the glory and wealth they have today. I believe the five tigers of the Shen family are also loyal to me.
Those who are honest will never betray."
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "Then why didn't you tell me that when we put down the rebellion in Wudi, our Beifu army defeated the army of demon thieves and killed their fathers and ancestors. Although it was the fellow countryman Shen Yue who secretly revealed the secret, Liu Laozhi's soldiers finally
They were hunted and killed on horseback, but you were also a general in the army at the time, so normally you are also their father-killing enemy."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "Their whole family has caused chaos, which is of course a capital crime. Why do they still resent me? I can spare their lives as a mercy outside the law."
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Not now, but in the future if there is a conflict of interest involving promotion and development, for example, if you compete with Wang Zhene again for great achievements, then your relationship will be delicate.
"
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "I have always been fair in dealing with military merits. Wang Zhene acted in disobedience. Even if he has merit, I will not take his credit. This is the case in this war, but I have demoted Wang Zhene to join the army as a soldier."
, I can only make suggestions by my side, but I don’t have a single soldier under my command. In terms of merit after the war, Shen Tianzi is also inferior, I don’t know why this makes the Shen brothers dissatisfied!"
