Chapter 168 Beacon Fire Even March(2/2)
, for each hundred literate generals in each camp, the commander of the camp had to write family letters for his colleagues, the soldiers dictated them, and the military officials wrote them for themselves. In this way, it only took three days and less than five carts of letters, and the hearts of the five thousand soldiers could be calmed down.
, why not?”
After saying that, he urged Li Youdao: "At that time, the captain can also personally inspect the camp and write family letters for several soldiers. There is a saying in Anlu County, the war lasts for three months, and the family letters are worth ten thousand gold! This move of the captain
, in the hearts of soldiers, it is worth more than ten thousand gold gifts! The soldiers will be grateful and die for the captain!"
After hearing what Heifu said, Li Youyi was moved.
"The war rages for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold? It seems to make some sense."
"In the past, Sima Rangju and Wu Qi all personally encouraged soldiers. When they were raised as generals, they would not lay down on seats or travel without riding. They would personally pack the grain and share the labor with the soldiers. If the soldiers had gangrene, they would suck it up when they were raised, so the soldiers fought.
Don’t turn your heels…”
"If I can personally write a few family letters for the soldiers today, it may have a similar effect and let everyone know that I love soldiers. In this way, the morale of the army will be restored and the soldiers can be used by me!"
The Art of War says, treat a soldier like a baby, so you can go to a deep stream with him; treat a soldier like a beloved son, so you can die with him. It is easy to say, but difficult to do. Soldiers are not stupid, and they can see the truth and lies.
Therefore, even if many generals want to imitate, they cannot achieve the effect of Wu Qi and Sima Rangju.
But now, there is an opportunity in front of Li You, and he agrees to let the soldiers write a letter, which can also prove that Nanjun is indeed fine, so that they can finish the battle with peace of mind.
So Li Duwei applauded the case and said: "I have made up my mind, this strategy is feasible!"
The commander and the five hundred masters saw that the captain had made a decision, so they could only agree.
Chapter completed!
