Chapter 284 Zhang Fei returns to Langzhong(2/3)
General Zhang has ordered all the generals in the city to gather at the camp. If there is no military service and cannot arrive within half an hour, you will be severely punished."
"Huh? It's only been a few days. Did he go to Chengdu to rest for a night and then come back?"
"Heavy responsibility, heavy responsibility, heavy responsibility again!"
Hearing that it was Zhang Fei who had returned, Fan Qiang and Zhang Da's expressions suddenly changed, becoming extremely sad.
They had just spent a few comfortable days, but Zhang Fei came back so quickly.
And as soon as he came back, he started to gather all the troops. Could it be that a war was about to begin?
When others encounter a war, they see military exploits, but what they see is death.
"Let's go first. We'll be late later, and we still don't know what his important responsibilities are."
The two quickly packed up and rushed towards the camp.
In less than half an hour, the entire camp was already packed with heads. Zhang Fei looked at the neatly arranged sergeants below and said to Wei Yandeser that in terms of command and dispatch, he dared to say that his generals were the most obedient.
"The two generals, Fan Qiang and Zhang Dalai, arrived late."
"Well, it won't be too late. It's still early. Let's wait for now. We still have a right army to go."
A famous general arrived, and Zhang Fei responded with a smile. This attitude made all the generals feel extremely uncomfortable.
Especially when he glanced at Fan Qiang and Zhang Da with a kind and smiling look, Fan Qiang and Zhang Da felt very uncomfortable and oppressed.
I always feel in my heart the fear of being discovered if I do bad things.
"General, why are you going to Chengdu so quickly? Even if you go by water, it will take more than ten days to go back and forth, right?"
"That's right, General, and it's almost dark today. You still want the brothers to meet up. Is there an urgent war?"
Although he was feeling nervous, Zhang Fei did not look angry, and Wei Yan next to him was not too nervous, so the generals surrounding Zhang Fei also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course I have something to give you, but it's just a good thing. I'll tell everyone now."
Zhang Fei fiddled with the loudspeaker in his hand, but he was thinking in his heart, of course he must gather everyone quickly to stabilize his mind first, otherwise he would be cut off tonight.
Knowing his own historical ending, Zhang Fei was sure that Fan Qiang and Zhang Da were definitely not impromptu. They had been plotting for a long time.
It is even certain that if he talks about war now, they will have to start talking to him tonight.
Although he is not afraid now, it would be too clumsy and a bad idea to find an excuse to replace the two of them at the last moment.
The best strategy is not only to replace them, but also to make them grateful and loyal to him again. This is also the strategy given to him by the Imperial Master.
According to his memory, Zhang Fei pressed the button of the speaker, and suddenly there was a burst of water sprinklers, oh no, the music of "To Alice" accompanied by the harsh sound of electricity and the buzzer sounded.
Zhang Da and Wei Yan, who were standing beside Zhang Fei, covered their ears. Zhang Fei suppressed the sound and pressed the button again. The music stopped immediately, but the power was also turned off.
"Strange, I remember, this is obviously how it is used?"
"Yide, did you hold down that music?"
"Music? Ah, yes, yes!"
As soon as Zhang Fei heard this, he noticed that the music button had indeed been pressed by himself, so he quickly pressed it back and turned the switch back on.
Everyone in the audience was shocked by the sound just now, and looked at Zhang Fei and Wei Yan's actions in confusion.
"Hey, hey, hey!
Well, all brothers, please stand by me!"
Zhang Fei tried the sound, confirmed that it could be used normally, and prepared to speak. However, this opening statement caused an instant uproar below.
"It's true that General Changbanpo shouted at Cao Cao to retreat!"
"With such a loud voice, can the whole camp hear it?"
"What is the general talking about? What loud voice?"
"You are deaf! I will tell you!..."
"Why does the general call us brothers? Are these still our generals?"
There was a commotion below, and the faces of several generals turned livid at this time. Zhang Fei would definitely punish them for making such a noise.
Just as he was about to organize things, Zhang Fei had already extended his hand to make everyone quiet.
"Brothers, be quiet for now. Today, I summoned the brothers to come here to tell you something.
Everyone knows that Cao Pi was a traitor, disregarded the people of the world, was cruel and unkind, made the Han people miserable, and even killed the late emperor. He was an unforgivable crime and his crime should be punished.
Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, he has appointed someone as a general of chariots and cavalry. He will send troops out of Shu in the hope of avenging the late emperor.
However, Your Majesty has considered that most of your brothers are from Jingzhou. If you attack from Hanzhong, most of your brothers will never be able to return home.
Therefore, His Majesty made a special order to attack along the river from Jiangzhou, first capture Jingzhou, take the brothers home, and then divert from Jingzhou to attack the Cao bandits in the north.
Brothers, this is Your Majesty’s benevolence and justice, so Your Majesty and I will take you home, do you agree?”
"good!
Your Majesty is kind and righteous!"
"I swear to serve His Majesty to the death!"
After Zhang Fei's words fell, the Jingzhou soldiers below all cheered excitedly. For them, it would definitely be the best to go back. Even if they go back, they actually have nothing.
Only the soldiers recruited by Yizhou and some generals performed very mediocrely.
People will die in war, and few of the sergeants these days will be militants if they don't fight. They just work as soldiers to earn a living.
That's why there is a saying that the army is defeated like a mountain. An army without a military spirit, or even an army without a loyal target, can only play the role of a tool that can do fortifications except for fighting against the wind.
Zhang Fei paused for a moment, asked everyone to stop again, and began his real campaign to win over people's hearts.
"A certain person is usually very harsh on everyone, and whenever something goes wrong, he will be disciplined strictly. I guess everyone has been grudges against a certain person for a long time, right?"
After Zhang Fei's words fell, there was only a faint sound. Most of the soldiers didn't know what Zhang Fei meant.
"That's the case with XX. He usually trains strictly, but when he should be thinking about his brothers, XX always thinks of the brothers! How to prove it? That is, what XX does cannot be done without leave!
In this battle, His Majesty has ordered that anyone who kills an enemy soldier with his own hands will be rewarded with an acre of land, five baht worth of money, and a piece of Sichuan brocade!
Moreover, I have already applied to His Majesty, General Langzhong! This expedition is entirely voluntary!
Brothers who do not want to go to war can stay, and I will not have any objections. I personally applied to His Majesty for this matter, and I sincerely consider it for my brothers.
Do you think other armies and their commanders can do this?"
"cannot!"
"The general is mighty!"
With the uniform cheers, all the soldiers below felt relaxed on their faces. Those who wanted to make meritorious deeds, this reward was extremely tempting, and those who were afraid of death had options.
Zhang Fei felt a slightly different kind of pleasure in his heart when he saw the scene of being captured.
"Furthermore, Your Majesty has ascended the throne and rewarded all the sergeants in the world. Originally, all the soldiers were only given a hundred coins. In fact, you will know this when the sergeant comes to summon someone during the schedule.
But I told Your Majesty that all of X’s brothers are capable soldiers and can fight one against a hundred. Why should they be the same as the Chengdu army? Don’t you think so?”
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
The soldiers below expressed their collective voice and wanted to know how much they could get. One hundred coins is not a small amount of money. It would be better if it could be more.
"That's right! His Majesty said that a certain person is good at running the army, so His Majesty agreed. We, the garrison in Langzhong, will all be given three hundred coins and five baht! Three hundred coins!
This money, regardless of whether you go on an expedition or not, is given to everyone! The money will be distributed in Jiangzhou when His Majesty passes by Jiangzhou. Brothers who are not going on an expedition, your money will be transported up the river.
Is this a good way to run the army? No, this is you giving face to a certain person! It’s because you listened to a certain person’s reprimand without complaining! You deserve it!”
"Really!"
"The general is mighty!"
"The general manages the army well!"
After hearing Zhang Fei's words, everyone cheered. Nothing is more exciting than giving money, and nothing is more reasonable than giving money.
In an instant, Zhang Fei's previous harshness was understandable. If you have money, you can do whatever PUA you want. If you have enough money, you can be his adoptive father.
The faces of the generals were even more overjoyed. Each of the soldiers had three hundred coins, so would there be fewer of them? Only more!
Fan Qiang and Zhang Da, who were already considering whether to switch families, looked at each other and suddenly hesitated.
If Zhang Fei really does this and thinks this way, the benefits to them will only be greater, and his usual harshness towards them can be forgiven. After all, in order to maintain the benefits to everyone, the person who takes the decision also has his own difficulties.
"Fan Qiang, Zhang Da, Sima Lun, Wu Lei! Come with me."
"promise!"
Two personal bodyguard generals and two left and right military generals stood up, clasped their fists and joined hands towards Zhang Fei, and followed him to the corner, feeling secretly happy that he was going to give them a favor!
Zhang Fei turned off the loudspeaker. This action made the four generals feel nervous.
He reached into his arms and took out a can, a can of solid braised beef stored in an aluminum box.
The reason why I chose braised beef is because it has a lot of meat and the strongest flavor. Zhang Fei only ate it once and fell in love with the taste.
"This thing is called a can. It can hold delicious pieces of meat that can be eaten directly. Canned beef is the most delicious. Come on, try it."
