Chapter 110: The Way of the General

Seven days later.

Liu Fan gathered all the soldiers together. Because there was no threat to the south, Xu Huang also rushed from Kunyang to Yangdi.

The commander has five virtues: wisdom, trustworthiness, benevolence, courage and strictness.

As a general, the most important thing is to be wise, plan and then act. Every military action must be far-sighted. Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.

Secondly, you must have credit, reward merits and punishments in the army, do what you say and make sure you will be fulfilled.

Secondly, we must have a kind heart. Generals must love their soldiers and love their soldiers as much as their sons so that they can truly return to their hearts.

Again, it is brave. Generals without courage are always losers. No matter how difficult it is, they must face everything bravely, don’t retreat or shirk the blame.

Finally, there is majesty. Generals must establish their own prestige in the army. Only in this way can their subordinates be willing to obey orders. If generals are domineering or intimidating or threatening to make others obey them, they can only make the soldiers surrender temporarily. At critical moments, chaos will occur.

"Jiangyuan" records that when a general is in the way, the general will not say thirst before the army is well; the general will not say hunger before the army is food is not ripe; the general will not say cold before the arms are in the air; the general will not say trapped; the general will not say sleepless when the army is not slaughtered. In summer, the general will not be able to hold the fans, and the rain will not be covered, which is the same as everyone.

This sentence has been regarded as the motto by famous military generals of all dynasties since Zhuge Liang. No matter whether it is fierce or vicious or rigorous in the military, it will not be unique.

This is the first time that all soldiers have been summoned after the great victory of the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan.

In addition to Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Zhou Cang, Liu Pi and other generals, there are also a total of 6,000 soldiers recalled from various counties.

There are still 4,000 soldiers left on the front line of Kunyang, ready to wait.

"Guan Yu killed Bo Cai, the chief general of Ruying Yellow Turbans, and led the army many times, and had no choice but to kill the enemy. He was a great achievement. Guan Yu was named Sima of another unit, with a rank of one thousand stones. He still led two thousand cavalry in his unit." Liu Fan announced in public.

"Thank you General Zhengbei!" Guan Yu stepped out of the line and thanked Liu Fan.

He was very excited. He had been following his lord for less than a year and was the position of Sima in another department. This was something he dared not think about.

Liu Bei participated in the Battle to Punish the Yellow Turbans, with more than 70 battles, and in the end he only obtained an Anxi County Captain with a rank of 400 stones. Now, before the Yellow Turban Rebellion was pacified, Guan Yu had already walked in front of Liu Bei.

"Xu Huang killed He Yi, trained troops well, and fought bravely. Xu Huang temporarily led the Sima of another unit, with a rank of one thousand stones." Liu Fan then announced.

Although Xu Huang did not perform very well in this battle, the importance of working hard. In addition, Xu Huang also made considerable contributions in the battle with the Huns.

Considering that Xu Huang was required to lead the army to Nanyang to pacify the Yellow Turbans, if the official position was too small, he would have no confidence when facing those prefects and assassins, and the generals of the Central Army were not confident when speaking.

"Thank you General Zhengbei." Xu Huang came out of the line and thanked.

His face seemed calm, but his heart was surging.

"Huang Zhong stopped He Man and was bravest in the three armies. Zhou Cang killed Peng Tuo, deputy general of the Yellow Turbans, and lifted the siege of Changshe. Liu Pi led his army to attack Yangdi first. Ru and the three of them were all named Sima of the Assistant Army, with a rank of 600 stones. Liu Pi was the deputy general of Xu Huang and the general in charge of the army." Liu Fan announced to the bottom again.

According to the credit, Liu Pi did not get the position of Sima of the Army. But now half of Liu Fan's entire army are recruited from the Yellow Turbans.

The purpose of Liu Pi as a Sima of another department was to inspire the morale of that group of people and let them know that even if they were from the Yellow Turban family, they could be valued.

"Thank you General Zhengbei." Huang Zhong, Zhou Cang and Liu Pi thanked each other.

Huang Zhong is old and although his expression fluctuates, he is much calmer. Zhou Cang is honest and dedicated.

The happiest thing was Liu Pi. He had never thought of the position of Sima, a county magistrate of the Zuo Army. He surrendered to the Yellow Turbans, not to mention that he was just a guard of Bo Cai among the Yellow Turbans, and his status was not high. Unexpectedly, he became Sima, and Liu Pi suddenly had the urge to go through fire and water for Liu Fan.

"I appointed Liu Jiang as the chief clerk of the army, selected officials, and took charge of the documents of the Northern Army." Since it was a matter of opening the government, the position of chief clerk was indispensable.

The chief clerk was a civil servant, and it was very important before the Wei and Jin Dynasties. In ancient times, all the officials had the chief clerk, from the three dukes and nine ministers to all prefectures, counties and counties.

The chief clerk is an official position that is very good at practicing the ability of a scholar. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "it is better to go to the chief clerk to read Confucian books for thirty years."

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the chief clerk was involved in the confidentiality, which was equivalent to a part-time staff member, and had great power. The chief clerk at the end of the Han Dynasty did not have that kind of power.

When Lu Bu was the chief clerk of Ding Yuan, he looked depressed and unsuccessful. The general served as a civil servant, and he lost his foundation and chased the end.

"Thank you General Zhengbei." Liu Jiang went out to worship.

Next, Liu Fan conferred many cavalry capitals and commanders. The entire army had a reward of money. The morale of the army was high.

"As long as you can win a battle, the entire army will reward you. Whoever makes the greatest contribution will be more rewards, and the glory and wealth will be no problem," Liu Fan inspires the soldiers.

Who says that if a soldier does not indulge in war, the soldiers will have low combat effectiveness? Soldiers have no worries at home. If they have any merits, they will be rewarded with great rewards, and if they have mistakes, they will be punished with great punishment.

In the future, he will also launch a fourth-class and eighteen-level military meritorious service, and will order soldiers to fight for military merits and honors.

"The general is mighty, the general is mighty." The soldiers shouted in waves.

Their faces were hot and their desire to go north was unstoppable.

Liu Fan looked at the fire-like military appearance and felt very proud.

A general must have a heart, ears, eyes, and minions. Those who have no heart are like people walking at night and are at a loss; those who have no ears and eyes are like living in a dark place and not knowing movement; those who have no claws are like hungry people eating poisons, and all of them will die. Therefore, those who are good at general must have a heart that is knowledgeable and wise, those who are calm and careful are ears and eyes, and those who are brave and good at enemies are minions.

Liu Fan has no confidant adviser to give him advice, nor has he the ability to form his eyes and ears, but there are tens of thousands of warriors for his minions.

At this moment, Liu Fan had a thought in his heart that even though the world was big, he could go anywhere.

After the reward was completed, Liu Fan ordered the baggage to be packed, and the armor was ready to leave Yingchuan.

"Gongming, I will give you another thousand soldiers and horses. You will send troops to Wanye with five thousand soldiers and horses. I have already received the news that all the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang retreated to Wancheng. You already know that there is an internal response from our army in Wancheng. Find the right time and do what I can say. This great achievement is in Gongming's hands." Liu Fan said to Xu Huang alone.

"Xu Huang will definitely live up to the lord's entrustedness." Xu Huang said solemnly.

But this was his first time as the main general, and the young Xu Huang was still a little nervous.

In history, when Xu Huang drove straight into the top, it was the peak. At that time, Xu Huang was already middle-aged.

It's too young now, but it won't be a good idea if you don't have any jade. Liu Fan motivated him to grow up behind Xu Huang, and I believe Xu Huang will not disappoint Liu Fan.

"For the general's way, we should first cure our hearts. Mountains of Tai collapse in front of us and their colors remain unchanged. Deer rises on the left without their eyes instantly. Then we can control our might and wait for the enemy." Liu Fan said to Xu Huang earnestly.

For Xu Huang's mind, this sentence is very suitable for him.

As a general's principle, you should first cultivate your mind and nature. You must ensure that Mount Tai collapses in front of you without changing your face, and that the elk rushes around you without blinking your eyes, and then you can control the interests and deal with the enemy.
