The road between Sichuan and Sichuan is inherently difficult.
According to the guide Zhe Mo, if you want to reach Liangshan, you have to walk for at least ten days.
Liu Zheng was naturally not in a hurry, but soon problems arose in the army.
Qin Changfeng came to report: "Sir, recently there has been a war-weariness mentality in the army. How to deal with this?"
Liu Zheng was chatting with Xiao Heitan. When he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, followed by endless guilt.
yes.
War-weary...
Speaking of which, it has been almost three months since the Liangzhou Army left their hometown.
For a normal person, who doesn't want to go home? Moreover, since the Liangzhou Army has grown stronger, the war has been almost here and there, fighting against the Xiongnu, the Battle of Hanzhong, the expedition to the Western Regions, and then Sichuan and Shu - this has only been less than two years.
, most people probably can’t stand such trouble.
"Is it serious?"
Liu Zheng asked with a frown.
At this time, the 50,000-strong army was camping and resting in place. It seemed that it was still in good order and military discipline was strict.
Qin Changfeng smiled bitterly and said: "It's not serious, but we just finished our long-distance attack and now we have to go to Liangshan. Although the brothers don't say it, they must have opinions in their hearts."
Liu Zheng frowned. This was indeed an issue that Liangzhou had never considered.
Since we are marching and fighting, there should be a cycle.
After all, people are not made of iron. Going on an expedition every once in a while, even for a few months, under high tension, these soldiers will indeed be a little bit intolerable.
This is an issue that cannot be ignored.
Liu Zheng immediately called Qin Changfeng, Cheng Kai and other generals to discuss the matter together.
As expected.
As soon as Cheng Kai arrived, he also gave a wry smile: "Sir, if we were to issue a death order, the brothers would definitely not say anything. There would be no mutiny or desertion. But after all, we just won a big victory and we are going on a journey again. This...
..."
Liu Zheng nodded and asked with a smile: "How do you think we can solve this problem? We are already on the road and we certainly cannot turn around and go back."
Someone suggested that it would be better to double the salary to make the soldiers more willing.
Someone suggested that the soldiers should be allowed to rest for a while before setting off again.
Some people think that at this time, it would be a good thing to take advantage of the victory and win a quick victory.
In short.
A group of people got into a quarrel, and the public said that the public was right and the mother-in-law said that the other party was right.
After listening to it this way, it is true that whoever said it makes sense and there is no way to refute it.
Finally, people in this camp started slapping the table and staring.
Liu Zheng became impatient and waved his hand: "Everyone, go down and garrison here temporarily. Let the brothers have fun in the past few days without marching. I will study this matter carefully."
"yes!"
Seeing that Liu Zheng was angry, everyone followed the order.
Liu Zheng was thoughtful and walked out the door.
Pei Yanran, who had been listening by the side, asked Qin Changfeng in a low voice: "Brother Qin, I rarely see your young master at such a helpless time!"
Qin Changfeng frowned, hearing the teasing in Pei Yanran's mouth, and couldn't help but snorted: "Don't worry, Young Master must have a solution!"
Pei Yanran curled her lips, she didn't believe that Liu Zheng was so invincible...
If that's the case, wouldn't it be that he is almost the same as his genius fourth senior brother?
...
Looking at Liu Zheng again, since he decided to rest here for three days, he began to wander around the camp.
"Master!"
"I've met the young master!"
"Son..."
After walking around, I happened to encounter a group of soldiers playing in the water nearby. They were all shirtless. When they saw Liu Zheng, they all felt embarrassed.
Liu Zheng chuckled: "No, you continue, don't worry about me. How do you feel here?"
A group of people came over and said, "Sir, this place is a good place, but I just can't get used to it!"
"Yes, sir, this place is simply too humid! It's damp and cold, not as dry and cold as the dry and cold ones in Liangzhou!"
"Sir, I heard that we, fifty thousand people, are going to garrison Liangshan?"
"What good place can we garrison in that damn place?"
These people all talk a lot.
Liu Zheng listened quietly, with a smile on his face, and occasionally chatted with them.
soon.
He then understood the psychological activities of these soldiers.
Simply put.
What they are most worried about now is not fighting or long-distance fighting. In fact, what they are most worried about is that these 50,000 troops will be stationed in Liangshan. In this case, when can they return to Liangzhou? When can they see their wives and children?
As for other messy things, they really don't care.
Liangzhou people are used to hardship.
But as long as I go home, no matter how hard it is, it's all worth it.
Liu Zheng heard about it, then he stood up and said with a smile: "Liu Zheng already understands the demands of the brothers. Don't worry, I will give you an answer soon!"
As soon as these words came out, this group of people felt embarrassed.
"No, no, no, young master, we are just chatting..."
"Young master, you have a lot of things to do, don't delay!"
"Sir, just pretend we haven't said anything..."
Liu Zheng sighed.
What more could I ask for when we have such a simple and honest group of soldiers?
However, we cannot just want the horse to run without giving the horse grass to eat. How can this be done?
Military reform seems to be imperative.
The next day.
The first enlarged military meeting of the Liangzhou Army was held under the chairmanship of Liu Zheng.
Attendees include Qin Changfeng, Cheng Kai, Pang Pangniu, Pei Qianyun, Cao Guanzhi, deputy generals and above, a total of more than thirty people.
The person who listened to the speech was Pei Yanran, as well as several representatives selected from the grassroots officers and soldiers.
Seeing everyone sitting down, Liu Zheng smiled: "Generals, this enlarged military meeting will determine the future military reform of the Liangzhou Army. Therefore, everyone is invited to speak freely and express their opinions. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, just be afraid.
Don’t tell!”
A group of people were quite surprised.
Military division reform?
Hasn’t the army of the Longyan Dynasty always been like that? What else can be reformed?
Pei Yanran next to her also had a curious look on her face.
Liu Zheng then sent out several reform outlines that he had written overnight.
After all, they were out of town and could not be printed. These were drafted by Liu Zheng himself, so a group of people could only read one copy together.
Who knows.
At first glance, everyone was dumbfounded.
Pei Yanran and Qin Changfeng watched the same version.
When I saw the content of this first picture, I stood up in shock.
"this......"
"Master?"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
"Young Master, the army is the most important weapon of the country. You must not act recklessly!"
