Chapter 89 Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books
It is said that when the merit list was posted later, Wu Ma's name was still included, but a sentence was added at the end, saying that Jue Tu Wu Ma volunteered to share his merits among the three hundred soldiers in the night attack.
Wu Ma feels that this sentence is very similar to the supplementary clauses in the contract, so as not to regret it in the future.
When the meeting was over, the night was already dark and the moon was tilted upward.
Dancing Horse really found the unhappy Liu Wenjing at the corner of the southeast tower.
"Why are you hiding here?"
"Didn't you say you were going to stay at our house for a few days? I'll be waiting for you."
Dancing Horse smiled and said: "I know what you are worried about."
"Who said that?" Liu Wenjing said, "I'm very happy."
"I still want to help you with an idea," Wu Ma turned around and walked in the direction of Liu Wenjing's house, "It seems unnecessary."
"Hey!"
Liu Wenjing hurriedly followed up, put her arm around Dancing Horse's shoulders and said,
"Damn Pei Ji, he almost got ahead of me with his opportunistic exploits. Just now when Duke Tang was arranging the division of labor, he took another big one. The matter of building the General's Mansion was so important that it was all handed over to him as the commander-in-chief.
Look at what I got, settling the prisoners, what a big deal it is, I'm really... convinced."
After saying that, he sighed for a long time,
"Tang Gong just gave me the instructions. I almost wanted to say: I have outstanding abilities and want to do big things. It's better to leave such small things to Pei Ji. I can't bear it anymore. Do you think that Tang Gong makes such a distribution? Do you have any objections to me secretly?
."
Wu Ma smiled and said: "The unrest between the army and the people in Jinyang the day before yesterday may not lead to a catastrophe. The source of the disaster lies in these captured people. Duke Tang asked you to settle them. How can you say that he does not think highly of you."
"I understand this too,"
Liu Wenjing looked up at the sky and felt that even though it was cloudless and the moon was shining brightly, it was not a good scenery.
"It's just that this job isn't difficult, it doesn't attract attention, and it doesn't make it difficult for Mr. Tang to see it, so what's the use of it?"
"That's not necessarily the case,"
The dancing horse points to the sky,
"Just like the moon above our head, it shines in the darkness, and its radiance spreads all over everything, and everyone can see it. Those things that are inherently brilliant are all done in the same way.
But let's see who can be thoughtful and meticulous. Your real skill is turning stagnant water into a living spring."
When Liu Wenjing heard this, she quickly took Wu Ma's hand and said, "I knew you had a good idea, why don't you tell me quickly."
Wu Ma slightly felt that Liu Wenjing had a talent for cutting sleeves, so he quickly took out his hand.
"The matter of the order..."
"It's all up to you," Liu Wenjing said, "Oh, as long as you help me this time, I will definitely help you."
"Everyone knows that Duke Tang attaches great importance to the morale of the army and the people of Jinyang,"
Wu Ma smiled and said, "Does that mean we're done with winning back the captured people? It's far from enough. There's a lot to be done later."
Liu Wenjing vaguely grasped something and stood close to the dancing horse, "I would like to hear the details."
"I have two ideas,"
Wu Ma said: "First, we can prepare a meeting for the captured people and their relatives in Jinyang in the near future."
"This will be good,"
Liu Wenjing understood immediately, "Let's do it in the open, I'll go take care of it now."
"Why be anxious? I haven't gone into details yet,"
Dancing Horse continued:
"When preparing for this meeting, you must not just call the captives and relatives - try to choose a spacious place with a large number of people, select some soldier representatives who are on rotation, and gather as many people as possible in Jinyang
come over."
"well,"
Liu Wenjing clapped her hands and said with a smile:
"This is the master——
The soldiers petitioned to go to war the day before yesterday, and the people besieged the Tang Mansion. This can be regarded as a positive response."
"More than that,"
Dancing Horse said:
“In this meeting, there are several points that need to be prepared in advance:
First, arrange a gathering of relatives. The scene must be deeply touching and bring tears to your eyes as much as possible. You might as well spend money to hire a few caregivers. The harder you cry, the more money you will give."
"Ha, it's really yours," Liu Wenjing said with a smile: "I also thought of something. Many of these prisoners have no relatives in Jinyang, so I'll try my best to invite friends over for a reunion. If it doesn't work, I'll spend money to invite them.
All the children were taken away first, so the scene was naturally lively."
"Brother Zhaoren's mind is indeed very fast."
Dancing Horse nodded in approval, "Second, in addition to meeting relatives and friends, you must choose a few prisoners who are clear-minded and articulate and prepare speeches in advance——
Let them complain in public about how cruel the Turks were and how the captured people were isolated and helpless. Then they changed the topic and told how the Jinyang Army risked their lives and overcame countless difficulties.
To prevent the prisoners from being rescued, let them say some words of gratitude. It is best to burst into tears and shed tears of gratitude, which will be unforgettable forever and have a shocking effect."
Upon hearing this, Liu Wenjing's eyes widened and she had nothing to say.
"Third, you can arrange for some representatives of the soldiers who participated in the night attack to speak on stage. They will talk about how Tang Gong mobilized the command, how he vowed to rescue the captured people, how our Jinyang army has prepared so painstakingly, and how our military strength is stretched thin.
How the soldiers in the burning night attack were not afraid of sacrifice and fought hard. Let’s talk about the warriors who died gloriously in the night attack. How they were burned by fire, pierced by arrows, and decapitated by swords. The details are outlined, focusing on the depiction of the Jinyang soldiers.
A glorious image of bravery and fearlessness in defending the homeland.
Fourth, when it comes to the end, select a few more soldier representatives to take the oath to swear loyalty to Duke Tang and fight for the people. We will drive out the Turks and drive out all the evil thieves and revitalize China!
If this is the case, the morale of Jinyang's army and people must be greatly inspired. The people will join the army enthusiastically and fight a hundred times more bravely. Even if you do things in an obvious way, Duke Tang will definitely praise you if he knows it."
"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Today I know that these words are true."
Liu Wenjing was dumbfounded. She clapped her hands after a while and said:
"Young Dancer uses his skillful skills to make people feel enlightened and enlightened.
It's just that now that the two armies are fighting, I'm afraid there's a bit of a shortage of manpower... Let's do it this way. I will go with people tonight to choose a venue for the meeting, select representatives of the night attack soldiers to speak, and negotiate with Erlang to arrange the city defense rotation in advance.
These soldiers set aside the day to speak.
It's indeed a bit late tonight.
In order not to disturb the people, I will visit the captured people one by one tomorrow. I will try my best to use a kind tone, praise Tang Gong's kindness, leave some good images, and then select the eloquent ones.
As for the speeches of the prisoners and soldiers' representatives, and the oath at the end of the meeting, we cannot let them speak freely according to their feelings, so I asked Brother Wen Daya to polish it up——
These literati and poets are best at creating sensational words."
