Chapter 526: Morale!

"Ladies and gentlemen! Why are they all so sure that Lu Bu will kill Li Su? ”

When Niu Fu returned from the battle, everyone just took a nap. And Zhu Jun slept peacefully. However, when he woke up, when he heard what happened in the big tent, he felt that he was afraid that he would have to sleep for a while: among these people, Zhu Jun felt that he suddenly seemed to be a brainless person. Only by hoping that Zhou Gong in his dream can give him more guidance, can he keep up with the rhythm of these three people......

As the second general of the Han Dynasty, Zhu Jun should be said to be impeccable in terms of tactical manipulation, army management, and marching and fighting. But when it comes to military and political strategy, it is obviously inferior. Especially this kind of thing thousands of miles away, predicting the enemy's army, he is even more stretched. According to his thinking, Li Su's merits are more than half, and at most he is guilty of meritorious service, and he should not be beheaded for public display.

And Ma Chao also has a hard time, he can't say to Zhu Jun: "Hey, old buddy, don't you know? Haven't you read "Three Kingdoms", "Book of the Later Han", and "Zizhi Tongjian"? What? You really haven't seen it, it's terrible to be uneducated!! ”

However, the last incident has already been explained by Guo Jia. At this time, Ma Chao can't drop the chain. Otherwise, the glorious and omnipotent impression he left on his subordinates may be in vain.

So, Ma Chao wrenched out the milk, uh... Quickly racking his brains, combined with the analysis of historical data in his previous life, he pretended to be a god stick with Zhu Jun and said: "Old General Zhu, let me ask you, how many troops did Lu Bu lead his troops to quell the rebellion this time?" ”

"More than 40,000 people, most of them are Lu Bu's wolf riders. But there won't be so many wolf cavalry in Bingzhou, there should be other recruits and Jingzhao and Feng Yi's county soldiers to join. Zhu Jun replied, he didn't know what these had to do with Lu Bu's beheading of Li Su.

"Not bad, but in addition, Lu Bu has some Liangzhou soldiers under him!" Ma Chao opened his mouth suddenly, his eyes were like electricity, sharp and unstoppable.

"Oh? This can't be ......." Speaking of this, Zhu Jun took the initiative to stop talking, because he suddenly thought that the Liangzhou soldiers that Ma Chao said were not the rout soldiers controlled by Li Meng, but the Liangzhou soldiers and horses that were mixed into the Bingzhou wolf cavalry in order to control Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf cavalry when Dong Zhuo was in power!

Just like Li Dao Guo Yan's subordinates, there are also many soldiers from the state, these are the legacy of Dong Zhuo. The only difference is that after hearing that Dong Zhuo was dead, Li Dao Guo Yan killed all the soldiers in the army. But Lu Bu didn't move those Liangzhou soldiers at all, because those soldiers are said to have been assimilated into the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou.

However, in the case of this merger and Liangzhou completely torn faces, Zhu Jun believed that it was impossible for Lu Bu to guarantee the loyalty of his Liangzhou soldiers and horses. It is even possible that those Liangzhou soldiers who are brave and good at fighting have already served as middle and low-level non-commissioned officers such as captains and sergeants.......

Thinking of this, Zhu Jun gradually had some realization. It's a pity that after thinking about it for a long time, he still feels suspicious and troubled, and he didn't grasp the most critical point.

And Ma Chao didn't play cards according to the routine at this time, put away his previous sharp gaze, and asked instead: "The old general thinks that what is the most expensive in the war of the army?" ”

"When the morale of the military is the first." Zhu Jun knows this, but what he doesn't know is what Ma Chao wants to say?

"However, such an old general has ever thought about it, if you are Lu Bu, when Li Su is defeated, what should you do?" Ma Chao looked at Zhu Jun with a smile again, and there was even a sense of wisdom in his hand.

Zhu Jun suddenly stopped talking, and he immediately understood Lu Bu's bitterness in beheading Li Su: Lu Bu was using the means of strict punishment to exert coercion, strictly enforce military law, and behead his fellow countryman Li Su to show his determination to break the enemy.

Lu Bu is a young soldier, he naturally will not be like Li Dao and Guo Yan's two hundred and five local tyrants, and kill all the Liangzhou soldiers in his army. And at this time, if these Liangzhou soldiers want to fight with the Liangzhou people led by Niu Fu, it is their own people to fight their own people. If the military orders are not strict, it goes without saying that the morale is low, and the most terrible thing is the fear of a mutiny in the army. Once this mutiny occurs, it is likely to cause a series of chain reactions, and LΓΌ Bu's army may collapse without a fight. And if Lu Bu's military orders were severe, even his own countrymen would be ruthless in the rectification of the law, they would naturally be able to deter these signs of rebellion in advance, and at the same time, they could also leave a powerful impression in front of those recruits and county soldiers.

"In this way, this Lu Bu can be regarded as a general who is well versed in the heart of the army......." Zhu Jun silently told his speculation, and at the end, he added such an emotion.

But after hearing this, Ma Chao, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia all just smiled and did not say anything. Seeing this, Zhu Jun naturally knew that there were still omissions in his speculation, and he couldn't help but ask Ma Chao: "Ma Fuguo, could it be that what the old man said is not detailed?" ”

"Old general, you only know one thing, but you want to be comprehensive." Ma Chao stretched his waist lazily, yawned, and continued: "Lu Bu is a commander, and he is also a very rare commander. Especially in terms of commanding cavalry combat, he is an invincible master, and he is by no means the stupid bird you think is repeatedly cunning and has eyes on his head only by martial arts. The fact that he killed Li Su seemed far-fetched and rude, but in fact, it also shocked some people in Chang'an......."

"Chang'an?" Zhu Jun was stunned, and under Ma Chao's suggestion, he immediately figured out Lu Bu's plan to kill two birds with one stone.

Yes, Dong Zhuo is dead, but it is undeniable that there must still be many of Dong Zhuo's old henchmen in the imperial court, especially the generals of the Liangzhou faction, such as Dong Zhuo's generals Xu Rong and Li Meng, who are still in Chang'an. This group of people accounts for a very large proportion both in the court and in the army. This is a very unstable factor for Lu Bu, who is bent on finding a living space.

Especially now that the imperial court has adopted the method of requesting the automatic disbandment of the Liangzhou army outside the Guanwai, this is definitely not good news for Dong Zhuo's old department in the imperial court, and they will definitely be in danger because of the paranoia of the imperial court, and they will definitely worry that after the situation in Chang'an is stabilized, the imperial court will successively attack their Liangzhou people. Even if they don't think about their own lives, they will at least understand that if the court is in power, they will never have a good life in the future.

Therefore, LΓΌ Bu faced a very serious concern: if these people conspired in the imperial court to respond to the rebels and quarrel with Chang'an, then things would become very bad.

As for the treatment of Dong Zhuo's old department, the method was nothing more than recruiting peace or coercion, but for the sake of internal security, the imperial court pardoned Dong Zhuo's old department in Chang'an City. And like this, it should have been even Niu Fu, Li Dao, and Guo Yan outside Chang'an. But the imperial family and the scholars of the imperial court were very ambitious, and they wanted to take advantage of Dong Zhuo's death to quickly win the hearts of the Kwantung heroes.

As a result, the imperial court began to play tricks, but the Liangzhou soldiers outside the gate were disbanded by themselves. In this way, the situation is messed up. And Lu Bu is now standing on the cusp of this mess, in order to avoid Dong Zhuo's old ministry in Chang'an, he has to try his best to remedy it in private. On the one hand, it is to repel Niu Fu's troops as soon as possible, and on the other hand, even if he does not return to Chang'an, he will also send a signal to those Dong Zhuo's old troops in Chang'an: I am not a soft-hearted person, if you dare to act rashly, I, Lu Bu, will definitely cut off your heads!

"So, speaking of which, whether it is inside Chang'an or outside Chang'an, it is just a battle of hearts. And the basis of this heart-to-heart battle is just the same. Explaining this, Ma Chao glanced at Jia Xu and Guo Jia. Then, the three of them said in a heavy voice at the same time: "Morale! ”
