A few days ago, Baichen County.

Because Lu Wu personally took action, he was the first to attack the city wall, killing the county captain and the city's masters and defeating the morale of the army. The army captured Baichen County with almost no casualties.

As usual, after destroying three large families and killing all the officials in the city, Lu Wu still ordered that each soldier in the army be rewarded two hundred taels of silver and not disturb the people. Then he let go and only requisitioned the house of a large family to rest.

But after entering the yard, Lu Wu summoned Jiang Min, Sun Ben, Ying Yuan and others, and ordered: "Go and talk to the officers under Jiang Xingde and see if they reward the sergeants with two hundred taels of silver each.

What do you think - if they don’t have any opinions, you should find a way to let them have opinions!"

"General, this matter——" Everyone was shocked.

I originally thought that this general was a brave man, and the two hundred taels of silver rewarded him because he didn't understand the rules of the army and rewarded him indiscriminately. No one thought that there was such a back-up man among them.

"Speak less, just do it - if this is done, I will let you all be on the right side of the camp." Lu Wu said.

After a day of shock, the restaurants, casinos, brothels and other business establishments in Baichen County were not originally prepared to open for business. However, the military men who had a large amount of money for the first time must spend it well, so under pressure,

These merchants also had to force a smile and open their doors for business.

For ordinary soldiers, it is rare to have such a large sum of money, so brothels and casinos are naturally the most popular, but most of the officers go to restaurants - officers need to maintain their prestige, so they go whoring and gambling with the soldiers, which is detrimental to their dignity.

Four officers were drinking and chatting in the lobby on the second floor of the Baiyun Building of the restaurant. A burly man came over and took a jar of wine and placed it on the table.

"Excuse me, generals. I'm under the command of the great general, Shandao Liu Wei. I would like to ask you for advice on something."

After hearing this man calling himself a subordinate of the general, the four of them did not dare to be disrespectful and quickly stood up and returned the salute: "I don't dare to call you general. We are all non-commissioned officers under the command of General Zhennan. I don't know what you are asking about?"

"I am from the Wu Kingdom. I travel between Wu and Chu on weekdays and make a living selling cotton, silk and other fabrics. This time I got lucky and the general noticed me and planned to let me command a battalion."

The four of them were envious.

A battalion consists of 500 men and usually has the ability to fight independently.

Ying Zhengze is the highest official position below the captain and the pinnacle of mid-level officers.

A lieutenant is then qualified to serve as a lieutenant general, with a quota of five personal soldiers, and is considered a senior officer - some lieutenants even have more power than ordinary generals.

"I'm a rough man. I've never been an official, and I've never led an army. I'm going to have to catch up soon, so I'd like to ask the generals how to lead a battalion well." The big man asked.

.

"This-" The four officers looked at each other.

They are not worried that this big man is a fake. Now that the city has been controlled by them, who dares to pretend to be a camp official? Besides, what are the benefits of such impersonation? If he is discovered, he will be beheaded.

"Four of you, we've invited this table of wine. Just talk to me casually. We'll put it on the shelves tomorrow, so you need some common sense." The big man threw a silver coin on the table and said with a smile.

"This - okay, but the four of us are team captains and have never been battalion captains, so we can only talk about our experiences. It may not work. Brother Liu, I'd better take back the money." Zhao He said.

"Hey, what does this little money mean? I still hope to ask the four eldest brothers for more advice in the future. I won't let the younger brother invite me for this meal. If the younger brother has any questions in the future, how can I ask?"

After hearing this, Zhao He paused and glanced at the three colleagues around him. The three nodded slightly, and then Zhao He said: "Okay, then the four of us will make you your friend."

The general's bravery is truly astonishing. Even if he is alone, it cannot be underestimated. What's more, there are nearly a thousand people under the general's command - even though they look like a ragtag group.

If you can command a battalion of troops under the general, you must be a close confidant, a right-hand man.

Even if you can't make friends, at least you can't offend.

"Hahaha, okay, come on, to celebrate our acquaintance today, let's have a few drinks first!" Liu Wei picked up the wine jar, filled everyone's cups with wine, and called the waiter to change the dishes.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the five of them became very intimate.

Zhao He put down the wine cup and said with some slurred speech: "As for the commander, the most important thing is to establish authority. To put it bluntly, it is to make your subordinates listen to you. If you want your subordinates to listen to you, you have to be soft and hard.

, the soft one is to give some benefits, and the hard one is to punish."

"When there are hundreds of people, there are all kinds of people. Among the five hundred people, there are bound to be all kinds of bad ones. They must be suppressed, otherwise life will be difficult. The three fires when a new official takes office are not to burn people, but to establish prestige.

Brother Liu wants to lead a battalion, and it’s no use just being strong - of course, if Brother Liu can be as strong as a general, you can just think of what I say as fart."

Liu Wei laughed: "If I can have the skills of a general, can I just be a battalion commander?"

"That's right. If you don't have the ability of a general, you can't do it without the help of someone who can help you. So Brother Liu must either go to the army and find a way to recruit a group of people around him, or bring some close brothers to take office. Otherwise, there are just some people who betray the army.

The money is enough for you to drink a pot."

Liu Wei leaned forward, listened carefully, and asked: "I was arrested by the inspection camp. I don't know the other prisoners. I was rescued by the general just a few days ago. Where can I find any confidants? Brother Zhao said...

Is there any good way to win over people?"

"Then what can be done? Give me a favor! The most direct way is to find a reason to reward. If you don't have money, you can be promoted to an official position. If you don't even have the power to appoint, then you have to create a conflict - find some people who are dissatisfied with each other.

Soldiers, if you find a reason to suppress one side to gain authority, the other side will be able to win over.

In short, you must first establish your prestige. If your subordinates think that you are a softie, it will be over. Then, if your subordinates think that you are good to them and there is a future for them, you can win over people's hearts," Zhao He said.

"It is indeed a good idea, but I have an idea, I don't know if it will work - let's talk about it in private, the four brothers can't sell me." Mountain machete Liu Wei (Ying Yuan) stretched his head forward and whispered

said.

Seeing his mysterious look, Zhao He and the other four people also stretched out their heads and came closer.

"The general gave me the money, and I want to keep part of it as a capital to win over my confidants - I wonder if brothers can help me think of a reason?" Liu Wei (Ying Yuan) first looked around, and looked at the nearby area.

There was no one around, so he whispered.

"Tsk, what did I think it was?" Zhou Lin laughed softly:

"You think we haven't thought about this? The general is indeed brave and amazing, but he is really inexperienced in this matter - how can a soldier be given so much money at once? Are soldiers with money still soldiers? Who?

With so much money, are you still willing to work hard? Why don’t you just go home and enjoy your life?”

"We have a general in charge here, so it's not easy for those above to do anything, and there is no money sent to other places at all!" Zhou Lin said.

Ying Yuan pretended to be surprised and asked: "The soldier is willing to do it? Aren't you afraid of a mutiny?"

"Rebellion is nothing. If you can't suppress these soldiers, how can you lead the army?" Zhou Lin sneered: "Don't talk about ordinary soldiers, even team leaders and captains may not be able to get these two hundred taels of silver -

—We are here thanks to the great general, and finally the money is safe."

"By the way, Brother Liu, if you really do this, you must be careful. Although you are a confidant of the general, if the general finds out, you may not be able to get a good deal." Zhou Lin kindly warned.

Everyone was talking nonsense just now. Everyone already knows that Liu Wei, the mountain cleaver, is just a businessman from the Wu Kingdom. Although he has some courage, he has no experience in commanding troops. He only dared to fight and kill when the general broke through the water stronghold, and he was appreciated.

, was appointed Yingzheng.

"Don't worry, don't worry. I'll go to the general first to find out what's going on. If the general doesn't agree, I won't do it." Liu Wei (Ying Yuan) said.

"That's the best. Brother Liu is the leader of the camp. In the future, our brothers may ask Brother Liu to take more care of us." Zhao He raised his wine cup and said with a smile.

"That's natural!" Liu Wei (Ying Yuan) raised his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
