Chapter Eight: Mobilization Before the Great War

...

The cold wind was blowing, and the withered yellow leaves swirled down from the trees, revealing rows of bare branches.

There is a mountain col twenty miles away from Xiaopei, where many tents stand, and there are some simple antlers to keep horses out of the tents.

In that camp, many flags with the word "Han" were flying high.

This group of soldiers and horses are Lin Zhe, Jian Yong and others who came to attack Xiaopei!

In order not to miss their whereabouts, they had been staying in this mountain col for half a month. Although the soldiers stationed here did not say anything, they were already dissatisfied with Lin Zhe in their hearts.

Fortunately, these people were the old troops who had followed Liu Bei when he rebelled, and could be said to be his direct descendants, so there was no mutiny.

However, they couldn't just let it go. Some bold generals got together and planned to go to Lin Zhe to find out.

Jian Yong had just come out of Lin Zhe's tent when he saw this group of people walking in the direction of the handsome tent. He couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart and stopped them with a wave of his hand.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Jian Yong blocking the way, the leading general hugged Jian Yong and said, "General, we are going to ask the military advisor for an explanation!"

"statement?!"

"What do you want to say?!"

The man's face froze, he turned around and looked at everyone, then he saluted Jian Yong and said: "General, you should know that we old brothers have been following the lord since the uprising, and we have also been fighting since then. Don’t dare to slack off..."

"But now we have to follow a child who hasn't even grown hair yet and is fooling around here. Until now, we don't know what to do. Isn't it a joke?!"

"We are a group of rough guys. We will do whatever the superiors ask us to do. We shouldn't have any complaints, but... we don't want to put our lives in the hands of a teenager!"

"General, why don't you take us..."

"shut up!"

Before the young general finished speaking, Jian Yong interrupted him in time, then pointed at the group of people and said angrily: "Do you know what you are doing?"

"Want to cause trouble?"

Jian Yong was obviously angry.

Once upon a time, like these soldiers, he was not very convinced of Lin Zhe.

However, during this half-month march and spending time together day and night, he just felt like he wished he could stay by Lin Zhe's side day and night.

So when his group of soldiers were making trouble, Jian Yong naturally couldn't just sit back and watch. He said, "What do you guys know? Even if I respect Xian Yun three points, what do you have to object to?" ?”

"Disregarding military discipline, committing the following offenses, and gathering a crowd to mutiny..."

"Are you really not afraid of death?!"

After Jian Yong finished cursing, he glanced into Lin Zhe's tent intentionally or unintentionally, then deliberately raised his voice and said loudly: "Here comes..."

"Get these thieves who are causing trouble for me!"

"General...we don't..."

This group of people were obviously panicked. They broke out in cold sweat and hurriedly knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

The people in the military camp were straight-tempered, and these people had no intention of mutiny at all. They originally planned to go together to ask Lin Zhe about his next battle plan and get an explanation.

You can't just stay in a ravine like this.

However, if Jian Yong is found guilty and beaten dozens of times, his head will be lost!

How could they not be afraid!

...

...

The noise outside the door also alerted Lin Zhe inside the house. He was looking at the map in the house and thinking about his next plan. When he heard the noise outside the door, he put down the charcoal in his hand and walked out of the tent.

After understanding the situation, Lin Zhe also fell silent.

In order not to cause panic, he did not tell the soldiers about the mission of this trip. However, he did not expect that this approach ignored the emotions of the soldiers.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand towards Jian Yong and said: "The soldiers have no intention of mutiny, otherwise they would not have come alone. Let them go first!"

This is to characterize the event and calm people's hearts, which is what the general must do.

When the soldiers being escorted heard what Lin Zhe said, they couldn't help but feel grateful and thanked Lin Zhe profusely.

When Jian Yong saw this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and loosened his clenched fists.

He took two steps forward and said angrily to the group of people: "If the military advisor doesn't tell you who you will fight next, it is for your own good!"

"The enemy is too powerful. If you are afraid after knowing it from the beginning, and you stay here for ten days and a half, are you really going to mutiny?"

"The military advisor is also thinking about you!"

After saying this, Jian Yong took a step back and stood silently beside Lin Zhe without speaking.

At this time, the faces of the soldiers kneeling on the ground turned red, and they repeatedly said to Lin Zhe: "How can we be afraid!"

"We, as a group of people, have sold our lives to the Lord a long time ago. Isn't it just death? We are afraid of what he will do!"

"Even if the military advisor tells us who the enemy is, even if it is Lu Bu, we will never give in!"

"That's right... no matter who the enemy is, even if it means death, we must die clearly!"

Looking at the excited soldiers below, and looking at Jian Yong who was silent at the side, Lin Zhe couldn't help but sigh.

He finally saw what Jian Yong was good at. According to historical records, Jian Yong neither had the ability to lead troops in battles or make plans, nor did he have the ability to manage places and govern the country.

The only advantage is that he is very good at interpersonal relationships and has a good relationship with everyone. He can only be used to mediate conflicts between various factions under his command.

The current scene exactly illustrates this point.

Jian Yong is very good at this skill.

First, he beat up these soldiers, deliberately making the matter bigger and taking all the notoriety on himself.

Then let yourself come out and show your favor, win the hearts of the soldiers.

Then, taking the opportunity of teaching them a lesson, he stimulated the generals with one hand, which not only boosted the morale of the soldiers, but also allowed them to ask their doubts.

I have to say that Jian Yong did a pretty good job!

Looking at the excited soldiers, Lin Zhe stretched out his hand and pressed it down, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

"Soldiers...don't you want to know what we are going to do next?

"Okay! I'll tell you!"

"Next we are going to attack Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian who are stationed in Xiaopei!"

Lin Zhe pointed in the direction of Xiaopei and continued: "Lü Bu's bravery is the best among the three armies!"

"At the beginning, I was really worried that you would be afraid of war, so I hid the battle plan."

"However, it seems that I am overthinking it now! Soldiers have fought hundreds of battles, so what do they have to fear?"

Everyone became quiet when they heard Lu Bu's name. After all... that was Lu Bu!

After a brief silence, someone from behind the crowd shouted -

"What about Lu Bu?"

"What are you afraid of him doing?"

"Isn't it just death?"

"I did it!"

It wasn't until this voice shouted that everyone reacted, waving their fists and shouting about attacking Xiaopei.

It’s no wonder that the soldiers reacted like this. It’s not difficult to see through the entire Three Kingdoms——

Speaking of fighting generals alone, they are basically one-on-one. If they fight in groups, they will not only lose their morale, but they will also be humiliated by other generals;

As for Lu Bu, he is the only general who everyone agrees to fight in groups, and even Lu Bu himself agrees to this.

The ceiling of military commanders is nothing more than that!
