The meal was not finished until early in the morning.
Tell those people to continue eating with the army tomorrow and remember the number of the unit in charge of them. This will be their rice bowl.
Liu Xiang did not distribute food, and the city was in turmoil. The people who had food in hand may not be safe.
Wait a few more days, it will take time for people's hearts to stabilize. Moreover, allowing the people to have in-depth contact with the army this time is also a reflection and an experiment for Liu Xiang.
The army and the people of the Han Dynasty were actually separated. Although the soldiers came from the people, they were in two different worlds psychologically. Their values were different. The more veterans they were, the more serious this problem was.
Except for Gu Jiu, a local clan member in their hometown, they have no empathy for the people in other places. Even the undisciplined army will rob the people. They call this a prison search and take pleasure in it.
Liu Xiang would never allow his troops to become like that. He had seen the people's soldiers before, and that was what an army should look like.
It is also a matter of ideology. They have no sense of belonging to the people. They think that they are soldiers of the imperial court, soldiers of the generals who lead the army, and even soldiers of the powerful families who exploit them, but no one thinks that they should be soldiers of the people.
Liu Xiang wants to change this kind of thinking, but the army is his foundation, and those veterans are the backbone of his army. If you want to change them, it is like removing bones and flesh, and you must be careful. Moreover, ideology is by no means a trivial matter, and you must be careful.
Be careful again.
In fact, there is another problem. Liu Xiang will have more and more troops, and his investment in the army will also increase. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is militaristic. He now relies on looting powerful families to raise his troops, but the powerful families
There are only so many powerful people, not enough for him to grab.
The speed at which he is expanding his territory cannot keep up with the needs of the army. One day, the pressure will turn internal. If the people bear these pressures, conflicts will inevitably arise. Therefore, Liu Xiang wants to establish a good military-civilian relationship in advance.
It can alleviate the situation, and it will not turn into confrontation between the military and the civilians and mutual resentment.
After all, it’s still money and food.
Liu Xiang planned to use manufacturing to stimulate commerce and use commercial profits to raise troops. This took time.
Manufacturing requires a lot of craftsmen and skilled workers, which is really time-consuming.
In terms of business, the caravans formed by military relatives were mainly to meet internal needs. Zhen Yi and the big merchants who later joined him, Liu Xiang needed them to transform, to do business outside, to draw blood from the outside, and to support Liu Xiang's power.
These also take time.
During this period, the family's powerful assets are needed to help them gather people and raise troops, accumulate technology and talents, develop manufacturing workshops, and expand trade routes.
Now he really doesn't like the surrender of powerful people from aristocratic families. If they surrender, you can't justifiably confiscate their homes. Otherwise, every battle in the future will be a tough battle, and he will have to use up all his troops.
Liu Xiang has understood that as the leader of a force, he can be ruthless, scheming, and even murderous, but he must abide by the basic rules, even the rules he created himself.
Only in this way can others dare to follow you with confidence, without worrying about being killed by you in the next second. This is a universal value, regardless of the poor or the rich.
People of the Han Dynasty are not afraid that you will kill many people. Killing like a horse is actually a complimentary word, a word used to praise people. What they are afraid of is that you do not follow the rules and have no set numbers. This makes them feel insecure and others will not follow you.
Play.
"Alas~~"
Liu Xiang felt very tired. He forced himself to move forward. He had already set foot on this road. If he didn't move forward, he would die.
He cannot and does not dare to show any weakness. Just like during the day, he cannot stop leading his troops into battle. Facing a fierce general like Guan Yu, he not only cannot be afraid, but also pretends to be calm and calm. Stop
The horse waits for people to come over, shows ridicule, teasing, and wisdom, and shoots the enemy general in front of his eyes.
When the soldiers under his command saw him so calm, their fighting spirit and morale skyrocketed. But he would not tell anyone that he had been suffering from muscle cramps in his calf.
He had been worried that Mr. Guan would throw the long spear in his hand like a javelin and stab him to the core?
Can he say it? Does he dare to say it?
Can he retreat? Does he dare to retreat?
"Everyone is forced." Liu Xiang sighed. Looking at the morning light on the horizon, he didn't sleep all night again.
It was dawn. Although they slept late yesterday, the soldiers of the Anping Army still got up early. There were many things that needed to be dealt with by them.
Yesterday, the troops who led the people to eat went to various streets in groups, shouting like an old hen calling for its chicks, and formed teams one by one. Then, they felt that it was quite novel to receive food and cook porridge.
Never done anything like this before.
The troops on duty distributed meals to the Yellow Turbans and prisoners, and then led people out of the camp to continue cleaning the battlefield and burying the corpses. Thousands of corpses were enough for them to keep busy.
Liu Xiang did not let go of the people who had finished their meal. He selected doctors and apprentices who could treat diseases and asked them to start free clinics to treat the people. Regardless of whether there was a lack of medicinal materials, he picked out the patients first, and any doubts were raised.
Those who are contagious must be quarantined.
Others were cleaning and repairing houses in the city. Liu Xiang had experience in disaster relief. In addition to providing enough food, he also had to find things to do for the victims, and they could not be left idle.
When people are free, they will have random thoughts. Who among the victims of the disaster is not miserable and sad? We cannot let them fall into pain. Having something to do can make them feel that they have a purpose and make them feel that they are still alive.
Besides, there will definitely be a big epidemic after the war. The main reason is that no one cares about the patients, and there is also a problem with environmental sanitation. If it is infected, everyone will die. This must be taken seriously.
There was so much work in and outside the city that everyone was physically exhausted, but felt at ease mentally.
During the afternoon feeding time, Wang Xing led a large force to Jixian County. With the arrival of 20,000 people, the progress of cleaning up the battlefield outside the city was accelerated. Before dark, the work was completed.
Liu Xiang ordered the left army to take over everything in Jixian County.
The people's teams were re-divided according to streets, and the soldiers from the left were responsible for taking the people to eat and arranging work in the city.
The Chinese army led the Yellow Turbans and prisoners and moved to the camp outside the city. The militiamen rested in the city for one night and returned to Lu County the next day. They would then assist the rear army in transporting grain, grass and baggage.
Guan Yu was also brought to Jixian by Wang Xing. After being treated by military doctors, there was no immediate danger for his life. As long as the subsequent wound is not infected, he will be able to recover after a period of time.
Liu Xiang went to see Guan Yu and found that he was drowsy. It was not the time to talk, so he stopped disturbing his recovery.
As for how to deal with Guan Yu after he recovers from his injury, he hasn't thought about it yet. He must be persuaded to surrender. He really doesn't know whether Guan Yu can surrender, and he doesn't hold out much hope.
From the beginning, he had no intention of persuading Liu, Guan, and Zhang to surrender. Liu Bei's ambitions and ambitions were not to be subordinated to others, and surrendering to him would be a hidden danger. Maybe someone would borrow a chicken to lay eggs and spend your money to grow stronger.
own power, and then take your place.
This kind of thing is so terrible.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were so deeply impressed by their loyalty that even though they had only followed Liu Bei for a short time and had not yet received any favors, Liu Xiang felt uncertain.
As for the failure to persuade him to surrender, should he kill Guan Yu?
Liu Xiang couldn't bear to part with him. After all, he was the second master of Guan, and it was ominous to kill him.
Let go?
I would rather keep Guan Yu as a mascot than let him go!
It's just that Guan Yu is too brave, I really don't know if he can be trapped.
