Although, judging from the various language descriptions in the letter, this does not seem to be in line with Xiao Han's always lazy and indifferent personality!
But there is no way! Because this is the step that the general must take after winning the battle!
As for the reason, it is actually very simple. To borrow a saying from later generations, you finally got the credit. As a general, don’t you get it? How can the lieutenants and generals below get it?
And the captain and general will not take it! How can the soldiers at the bottom take it?
If the soldiers don't take it, then what is the purpose of fighting this battle?
Is it just for ideals?
Although it is undeniable that in this world, there are indeed heroes who risk their lives for their ideals!
But the problem is, there are few such heroes after all!
The vast majority of people in this world, to put it bluntly, are a group of ordinary people! A group of ordinary people with various emotions and customs, who can be afraid, greedy, and sad!
For such ordinary people, we must not hold them to the standards of saints!
Therefore, as long as there is a general to prove it, if the battle is defeated, it will be forgotten. As long as the battle is won, the general will definitely try his best to encourage his team!
A pound of reward coupons, I wish I could squeeze eight ounces of water out of it! Even if they are like Xiao Han, they are not fighting for themselves, then they must fight for the big soldiers below!
There is nothing we can do, everyone knows that the soldiers below are suffering!
With the lowest military pay, they engage in the most dangerous business! Each one of them tucks his head in his belt, grabs a knife and fights the enemy with his life! To put it bluntly, isn't it just to get some credit, so that he can reduce taxes for his family and get some rewards?
If you work hard, you can finally win a war! If you encounter a two-hundred-and-fifty general, you must show your style and humbly make concessions!
Needless to say, the ancestral graves of this general’s family are all
I can be scolded by the soldiers below!
Moreover, such a general will not only be scolded, but if he leads troops again in the future, absolutely no one will be willing to fight for him!
There's no point in working hard anyway, why would you be a fool to play with you? It's better to stay cool and stay there!
At this point, people like Cheng Yaojin actually did a very good job.
Whenever this old man leads an army on an expedition and defeats a small band of bandits, he can be regarded as the main force of the enemy!
Kill a few of the opponent's scouts, and that's a complete victory in the encounter!
If we were lucky, could we really wipe out an entire enemy force?
Good guy, it might have been just a small battle in which hundreds of enemies were beheaded, but he dared to write it as a great victory in which more than ten thousand enemies were killed!
In response to this, the Ministry of War had to hold its nose to admit it when it came to examination for the rank of general!
Because the last general who suspected Lao Cheng's data was false and insisted on going into the camp to verify it, he is still lying on the bed with a bruised nose and face, unconscious!
As for why he was unconscious?
According to what the soldiers who carried him out originally said, General Lang was beaten into this state by a group of unidentified thieves!
As for where the thieves went? I don’t know? These people ran too fast! By the time they rushed over, they had already disappeared! They could only carry out the dying general first.
The dignified general of the Ministry of War was actually beaten by bandits?
Or were they beaten by a group of unknown thieves in the military camp?!
If you say this, even a fool might not believe it!
But even if this matter was brought to the court, Old Man Cheng would still dare to confront those who raised objections with confidence.
The censor of the meeting yelled!
He was even punished by the emperor who turned green with anger in the end and thought about his mistakes in isolation!
This old man has to roll up his sleeves and say harsh words to those censors. Don't leave! I'm waiting at the gate of the palace to challenge you!
A group of bean sprout-like censors are going to have a duel with the strong and bear-like Cheng Yaojin?
Is that impure fool so stupid as to eat arsenic?
Therefore, after the dynasty dispersed that day, the censors who complained about Cheng Lao were so frightened that they did not even dare to leave the palace!
A few people lingered in the duty room until it was almost dark, and then they saw an opportunity when no one was around and quickly slipped out. Then, as expected the next day, they all took sick leave...
"Zhang Qiang, do you think this kid Xiao Han has imitated old man Cheng?" Li Shimin rubbed his swollen head and looked at Zhang Qiang with a confused face.
At this time, Zhang Qiang seemed to have forgotten Xiao Lizi's identity as emperor, and said, "Probably, no! If this is really a false report of military exploits, it should be written as killing 100,000 enemies and capturing thousands! After all, the number of heads
This thing can be faked, but it’s hard for prisoners to fake it..."
Zhang Qiang's voice stopped abruptly here!
Because it wasn’t until he said this that Zhang Qiang suddenly realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing just now!
Things like this kind of false reporting of military exploits are an unspoken rule that all generals are well aware of! But how can the emperor also know about this kind of deception?
Not to mention, openly discussing the difficulty of its implementation with the emperor, isn't this clearly self-inflicted?
Just when Zhang Qiang was feeling uneasy, his face looked as if he was constipated, and he didn't know how to explain it!
Li Shimin seemed not to notice anything wrong at all.
Generally speaking, he nodded with deep approval, "That's right! Just get some rocks and mud, put some lime on it, throw it into the pit, and you can fool it, but the captive is a living person, so how can it be done?"
Fooling? Just a few people will reveal the secret, Xiao Han shouldn't be so stupid!"
"Ahem, you, you all know?"
Suddenly hearing Li Shimin's words, he realized that he not only knew about false reporting of military exploits, but also knew the methods of falsely reporting military exploits. Zhang Qiang's eyes suddenly widened with shock on his face!
"Nonsense!" Li Shimin rolled his eyes in a disgraceful manner and sneered, "Do you think I'm that stupid? Don't you even know the tricks of my subordinates?"
"Then since you all know, before... before?" Zhang Qiang stammered, feeling that his brain was suddenly not strong enough!
He wanted to say that since you know everything, why do you pretend to know nothing and be fooled by others? Isn't this stupid?
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
Li Shimin blinked, as if he understood the message in Zhang Qiang's eyes, and asked with a dark face.
"No! No! How is it possible!" Zhang Qiang was shocked when he heard this and quickly waved his hands to deny it!
When Li Shimin saw this, he rolled his eyes again, "Fart! How many years have I known you? As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what you fart, and you still want to lie to me?"
Zhang Qiang looked embarrassed, but he also knew that if you confess, you will be lenient and you will go to jail! If you resist, you will be punished and go home for the New Year! So even though his face was as red as a monkey's butt, he still shook his head firmly, "I didn't lie to you!"
If I say I’m not lying, I’m not lying! If you don’t believe me, I can swear to you!”
(On the first day of 2024, Coke wishes everyone a smooth and safe new year. It would be great if they could make some small fortune.)
