Whether or not to distribute wealth to soldiers is a great test for every general. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThis is not because of stinginess with money, but because controlling the assets of soldiers is a degree that is difficult for every general to choose.

Since ancient times, the poorer the people in battle, the braver they are, just as Yanbei, who once had nothing, was more willing to fight with a knife than today. Because he doesn't have many skills to make a living, he can only seek enough benefits for himself by killing and robbing. But what about when he set up a family business in Fanyang County, Youzhou? He is no longer easy to use the knife with others, and is more willing to get everything he wants with words and deeds.

Since then, he has spared his life, and later the desperate take of the Juma River is also a righteous one, and he has to do it. Even after he kept himself in the quagmire of sword warfare, he never used the knife a few more times.

In the Battle of Handan, more than 10,000 people were killed on both sides, but the only killing in Yanbei was only after the battle when he personally executed a brave sergeant under his command.

So he knew very well that the more comfortable a person's life was, the more unwilling he was to put himself in danger. It is only in the face of adversity that people are willing to fight against the odds.

It's not that people's hearts are fickle, it's human nature.

Because he is like this, he can understand that his subordinates will be the same in the future.

Therefore, as long as it is possible, Yanbei will not simply distribute the money he has obtained to all the soldiers, he will only try to satisfy his closest subordinates, and others want to get assets from him, so they can only desperately use their merits in exchange for a reward with a clear price.

But there were exceptions among all his men, because some of them never seemed to learn to be brave...... Among the old Yellow Turban soldiers who followed him first, there was a soldier named Chen Zuo. The first was to make naan cakes in the border city of eastern Liao, and Yanbei didn't look down on such an honest person, but his brother treated him a lot when he was alive.

It is precisely because of this that Yanbei has always taken him with him even if he is in exile in Youzhou, even if he arrives in Yan's Wu, Chen Zuo does not want to return to Liaodong, so he mingles in the Yellow Turban Yu Party in the mountains and forests, and has been cooking in Yan's Wu for a day, and then Yanbei made trouble in Youzhou, so he followed and ran until now.

Chen Zuo is a real coward, if it weren't for Jiang Jin mentioning that his subordinates were homesick a few days ago, I am afraid that Yanbei would not be able to remember Chen Zuo in the slightest.

During the day, Yanbei invited Xianbei Lord Su Li to come to the camp to drink and eat, and talked about wanting to ask for some dry food such as corn and wheat, thinking that he still needed to take some weapons in exchange, but he didn't want Su Li to respond without hesitation, and then there were Han army warriors who entered the Xianbei tribe and launched more than 300 stone grains.

This is the reason why Chen Zuo does not need to rely on meritorious service in exchange for handling objects, because he is a cook in the army, where can he cook without food?

"Azuo, you order a hundred people, like you, you will make some dry food, make cakes from these grains, it's almost Chinese New Year's Eve, you want to make some Han family food for the brothers." Seeing that Yanbei had nothing to do when he was idle, he asked someone to push the cart around the camp left and right, found Chen Zuo, and said to him: "Don't be stunned, let the brothers get up and work!" ”

Three hundred stone of grain seems to be a lot, but in fact it is enough for the sergeants in the battalion to eat one meal...... In these years, there is too little non-staple food, and it is too difficult for the Han people to eat meat at once, and the men who lick the blood with knives are not full of dry food.

Three hundred stone of grain is not even enough for 20,000 soldiers, and one soldier can eat two catties.

When Yanbei walked to the camp of the lieutenant's department where Chen Zuo was, he was squatting on the ground with two military marquis who had been born in the Yellow Turban Yu Party and more than a dozen Black Mountain team leaders to watch others play the 'Six Game Opera', squatting together with a shabby soldier's cloth armor and an unseemly fat body, frowning as if thinking about why the two 'owl' cards were different.

Suddenly hearing a familiar voice, Chen Zuo's round body bounced up from the ground all of a sudden, and seeing that it was really Yanbei, he hurriedly rubbed his head and smirked, "Two, two, general, you're here, I haven't seen ...... for a long time."

Before he finished speaking, beside him, a Yellow Turban Yu Dang from the Yan clan saluted Yan Bei, and then hurriedly touched him, "Why don't you hurry up and salute the general?" ”

Chen Zuo reacted at this time, and hurriedly gave up his hands, and was generally interrupted by Yan Bei's hand, "Excuse me, you come over for me!" ”

"Huh? No......"

Yan Bei grabbed Chen Zuo's collar, but he didn't dare to pull the shabby cloth armor, the silk armor was not strong enough, and the defensive ability was also insufficient, but the one on Chen Zuo's body didn't know how long it had been worn, and it was about to break if he pulled it. Yan Bei dragged Chen Zuo to the corner of the felt tent on the side, frowned, and said, "Where did you find the rags, you don't even have a decent armor?" ”

Chen Zuo scratched his head, and smiled embarrassedly with the honesty and cunning of an ordinary Qiantou on his face: "General, you don't know, don't look at this clothes as shabby, but it's warm, it can freeze people to death in the desert night, so I rely on this night watch." ”

"You're on duty?"

Yan Bei was really a little angry, he didn't even frown, it is unlikely that there will be a night attack on the grassland at the moment, not to mention that the superior officer needs to have enough energy to rest, only a hundred generals in his army need to take people to watch the night, this Chen Zuo ...... Didn't you even get mixed up with a hundred generals?

At this time, Yan Bei noticed that Chen Zuo had a seal on his shoulder that symbolized Shi Chang, the Yellow Turban Old Man who first followed him, and he is still a Shi Chang ...... Even this chief may have been promoted by Wang Yi or Jiang Jin because of a lack of manpower at that time.

In fact, what makes Yanbei most angry is not Chen Zuo's seemingly decadent status quo, but that this person does not have the slightest dissatisfaction with this in his heart, nor does he have the heart to strive for change.

This is like silk armor and iron armor, under normal circumstances, a soldier born in the field will always choose an iron armor if he has a choice, after all, the armor can not only protect himself, but also rely on protection to kill the Quartet, so as to get higher combat achievements.

But obviously, Chen Zuo doesn't think so, he is very content with everything now, even if Yanbei wants to pull the old brother in the past...... Where is his hand?

"Alas, don't think about the night first, do this well, this is your old job, and it's not for you to go to war and kill people, you can always do it well, right?" Yan Bei stretched out his hand and tucked the place where Chen Zuo's collar was pulled open by him, patted his shoulder and said: "Give you a hundred people, and make me a full meal for the whole army a year ago, Yan will transfer you to the baggage camp, and in the future, you will take care of others to bury the pot and cook." ”

Chen Zuo had been careless about what he was doing before, and he was an honest person who was easy to bully, and when others told him to be on duty, he was on duty all night, and he didn't sleep all night, and he didn't complain about the next day. It was Yanbei who said that in the future, he would let him take charge of the army and cook in the pot after the year, and he didn't have any special reaction, but asked Yanbei: "General, when can we go home?" ”

"Go home, which home do you mean go back to?" Yan Bei shrugged his shoulders slightly, and a cool breeze blew and made people's faces hurt, "Our hometown in Liaodong is still Zhuojun?" ”

When a group of outlaws fled to Zhuo County, Yanbei wanted to dismiss a timid and fearful person like Chen Zuo, who knew that he said that he didn't want to go back to his hometown in Liaodong by himself...... It was as if he had escaped for more than a thousand miles, and there would be Han soldiers who would arrest him.

But now it's different, Chen Zuo's weathered face was a little tired, and he sighed and said, "Liaodong, Liaodong's hometown." ”

He's been away from home for too long, four years? Five years? At that time, his child was only two years old, and he stupidly carried naan cakes on the road because of the belief in the sage master Fu Shui. His child was only two years old that year...... It's just that I didn't expect that it would be like goodbye when I left.

Chen Zuo smiled bitterly, "My little cub is afraid that they will all make naan." ”

In fact, Yanbei is not very comprehensible, similar to Chen Zuo's idea of being content with the status quo. But in fact, most of the common people of the Han Dynasty were this virtue, and they were at peace with what they encountered...... Even if you say that you are caught in the trap and become a robber, then you will be an honest robber and be an official and an official in the sandwich, then you will be an official and an army honestly.

They don't care what they do, they all think they're fine now.

Lack of ambition.

Although Yan Bei couldn't get used to it, he couldn't say anything...... There are too many people in the world who are eating and waiting to die, so what can he do? Tell others that this virtue will not live?

Or is it that other ordinary people don't live anymore?

"Go back to your hometown in Liaodong...... Soon, when the spring of next year begins, I will take you all the way back to your hometown in Liaodong. Yan Bei smiled lightly, as if he didn't take the war in the spring of next year seriously, he just raised his finger and pointed at Chen Zuo, took a deep breath and said: "When you arrive in Liaodong, you will go home to accompany your wife and children, don't mix in the army...... You can't eat this bowl of rice, and now there are fires everywhere in the world, and I'm afraid you won't be able to see your son if you join the army again. ”

Yan Bei didn't want these ordinary people under his command to know what a terrible enemy he would face when he returned to Liaodong.

Hearing Yanbei mention his son, Chen Zuo's face lost his honest smirk, he took a breath of the heart-deep cool air on the midwinter grassland, nodded slowly, looked at the shabby silk armor on his body, shook his head and smiled: "No longer fighting, there was no one around the general before, I have to follow you, even if I have a stronger momentum...... Now that the general has great prestige, an army of 20,000 can run rampant in the world, not less than one. ”

Chen Zuo smiled, there was no reluctance on his face, but he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "When the time comes, I will return to the township and buy a few cows and more than a dozen acres of land for the baby...... I'll go ahead and make bread. ”

"Hahaha! That's right, when I return to Liaodong, I'll go back, don't mention any cattle and sheep land, I'll send you those things! Yanbei patted Chen Zuo's shoulder, waved his hand and said: "Before going home, we will win a big battle, we will be based in Liaodong, brothers, and protect you Chen Zuo for the rest of your life in the name of Yan!" ”

The heroism of Yanbei in front of him, Chen Zuo just smiled.

In fact, he doesn't need any protection, even if he was born cowardly and honest...... In the big wolf pack under Yanbei for several years, those bad things and good deeds, I have seen countless people, if he can stick to his nature and be good, it is naturally good, if he wants to be evil, who can stop ordinary people?
