147.Chapter 147: The Disadvantages of the Yellow Turban
is about to enter the mountains, and without the war, Chen Xu is not ready to be sympathetic to horsepower.
He asked the Yellow Turban cavalry to get off their horses, put a lot of grain on horseback, and everyone rushed to the direction of Dazhai under the stars.
In this way, it would have been a five-day journey. After only two days of walking, everyone had already arrived in Dazhai.
Due to the short time, the big village formed by Tian Feng is very simple. But when you look at it, you can see the rudiments of a city.
Although the Han Dynasty is decaying and declining, I don't know how long it will be before the real world is in turmoil. For a long time in the future, this Dazhai will become the foundation of the Yellow Turban Army's survival.
Chen Xu's heart is very big, and he has the ambition to swallow mountains and rivers. Tian Feng's heart is also very big, and the Dazhai he built is definitely not the kind of place that only meets the needs of hundreds of thousands of people.
"Lord!"
Tian Feng took Yang Feng and others to Chen Xu and hurriedly saluted Chen Xu.
Although he defected to Chen Xu for a long time, he had been taken captive by Chen Xu for a long time. Since Chen Xu confessed his mind to him, Tian Feng has devoted himself to assisting Chen Xu.
The cooperation of the two monarchs and ministers is like a fish and water supporting each other. Although I haven't seen each other for a few days, it seems like three autumns have passed.
Chen Xu helped Tian Feng up, held his arm and said, "Mr. has worked hard to build a big village for my yellow scarf, and he has made great contributions." ”
"When I meet Mr. today, it should be Xu to salute Mr., how can I receive such a big gift from Mr.?"
Tian Feng was helped up by Chen Xu, and said with a straight face: "I am a subordinate to the lord, and it is my duty to share worries for the lord." However, as a courtier, I should observe the courtesy of a king. ”
"It's not just me, but the lord will be in charge of the lifeblood of the Yellow Turban Army in the future, and he should be our co-master. No matter how good the personal relationship is, there is a difference between the monarch and the minister. ”
Then Tian Feng glanced at the people present and said sharply: "Since ancient times, there are no rules and no circle. If our Yellow Turban Army wants to achieve a career, we must not be lax in discipline and do not distinguish between dignity and inferiority. ”
"In the future, we shall be law-abiding and disciplined; If there is merit, it will be rewarded, and if there is a mistake, it will be punished. Talented people should be promoted and reused; Those who have no talent will never be allowed to eat their corpses! ”
When everyone heard this, their hearts sank, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "We will do our best, and we will be willing to smear the liver and brain of the Lord on the ground, and we will not give up!" ”
When Chen Xu saw everyone's performance, his heart moved, and his eyes showed a strange color.
Yang Feng arranged for many homeless people to live in simple houses, but Tian Feng took Chen Xu to a secret room.
Tian Feng finished his salute and knelt opposite Chen Xu.
He put his hands on his knees and looked at Chen Xu carefully for a while before he spoke: "Do you know the lord, why did I talk like this?" ”
Although Chen Xu already had a guess in his heart, he didn't say it. There are some things that can only be said by one's own subordinates.
And give them the opportunity to develop, why not let them display their talents? Everyone was able to apply what they had learned in their lives, and naturally felt that they were being put to good use.
Although Chen Xu is not proficient in the way of employing people, he has been the commander of the Yellow Turban Army for so long, but he also knows a little bit about it.
So Chen Xu deliberately looked puzzled and asked earnestly: "Please also ask Mr. to speak clearly!" ”
Tian Feng tidied up his clothes and said proudly: "The lord is merciful and treats people with kindness, so that the soldiers of the three armies will serve their lives." ”
"However, the current situation of the lord has three major drawbacks."
"The Lord is gracious, and although everyone is moved in their hearts, they are dead in the service of the Lord, but there is a lack of reverence in their hearts."
"Let the husband be in a position of great power, so that all may look at it from afar and be in awe, but not near."
"There is no reverence in the hearts of the people, and in the long run, everyone will be pampered and arrogant, and the decree will not be understood, and the order will not be respected. In this way, within three years, civil strife will inevitably arise in the army. This is also a disadvantage. ”
When Chen Xu heard this, his heart was awe-inspiring.
Tian Feng's words are by no means alarmist. Until now, he also felt that the soldiers under his tent were talking to him more and more casually.
This is of course a manifestation of the intimacy between the two parties, but Chen Xu is not only a general, but also a lord.
It is indeed a good thing that the general has to be close to the soldiers. But Chen Xu acted like this, not only the soldiers in the future, but also the generals and people under his account might lose their awe of Chen Xu.
Without reverence, we can certainly win the hearts and minds of the people. But as time goes on, the people will ignore their position as courtiers. The orders given by Chen Xu will also be very easy to be ignored.
The superior has no corresponding prestige, and this is the way to die.
Chen Xu's face was solemn, and he arched his hand at Tian Feng and said, "If it weren't for Mr. Reminder, I am afraid that it would be a big mistake!" ”
Tian Feng smiled and said: "The lord was in a high position at the beginning, and he fought for days and days, and there is nothing wrong with others. Just pay more attention in the future and establish your own majesty. ”
Chen Xu nodded and asked earnestly, "Please continue, sir." ”
"The current position of the lord is only Qu Shuai, and I see that there are some people in the Yellow Turban Army who are equal to the position of the lord. If the lord does not deal with it early, this matter will become a source of trouble. ”
"The lord wants to achieve great things, and compared to the people under his account, the lord naturally has to be superior."
"At the beginning, the three brothers of the great sage and good teacher were all known as generals, and below them were many Qu Shuai and Xiao Shuai. Since the lord is the son-in-law of the great virtuous teacher and the commander of the Yellow Turban Army in the world, he is known as the general. ”
"After the promotion of the position of the lord, he can be rewarded for the meritorious soldiers under the account. When the people receive the reward from the Lord, they will be overjoyed and willing to die for the Lord. ”
When Chen Xu heard this, he also nodded.
Since he is the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, his position naturally cannot be lower than others.
You must know that in the current Yellow Turban Army, although many of Qu Shuai have died in battle, there are still many survivors. Especially those Zhang Jiao's henchmen, they were sent out by Zhang Jiao with 10,000 elite soldiers.
If Chen Xu is not higher than everyone else in his position, it will be unjustifiable to give orders.
The reason why Chen Xu promoted Wang Yan to the position of Qu Shuai was of course because he liked his talent, and he was also a Qu Shuai before. But why didn't he do this to restrain those few commanders?
If Wang Yan's position was not made as Qu Shuai, in the base camp of Mount Tai, how could he command those people with the position of a small marshal?
In the face of Wang Yan, who has a lower position than himself, how can those Qu Shuai listen to him give orders?
This truth is just like Cao Cao in history who was called the prince and the king. If he can't go any further, how can he reward the meritorious soldiers under the account?
Tian Feng continued to talk eloquently: "The third drawback in the army is that everyone has different names for the lord. ”
"The composition of the lord's account is complicated, and there are clan children like Chen Xu, Chen Jing, and Chen Qing, who call the lord 'big brother' or 'big lang'."
"There are also Yellow Turban soldiers like Wang Yan, Yang Feng, and Bai Rao, who call the lord Qu Shuai."
"In addition, people like me who have been recruited by the lord are called lords."
"If you don't have the same name, you can't get the order. Besides, since the lord is on his own, how can he damage the majesty of the lord because of the intimacy of the clan? ”
"Titles like 'big brother' and 'big lang' are okay when no one is in private. However, in front of outsiders, in the big tent, you must not be so casual in the future. ”
"Even though the children of the clan are close, they are also different from the monarchs and ministers. If it is treated differently, won't it make outsiders chill? ”
Tian Feng has good intentions for Chen Xu. Although he hadn't seen Chen Hu and the others call it that, he had also heard about these things from other people.
He stared at Chen Xu's face tightly, wanting to see if Chen Xu would be annoyed.
What Tian Feng said was that although it was Jinshi's words, but when he spoke like this, he seemed to be meddling in Chen Xu's housework. Moreover, Chen Xu attaches great importance to love and righteousness, so it seems to be a bit difficult for his clan children to change their names and serve him as the master.
Chen Xu's face struggled for a moment, thinking of the historical Cao Group.
Cao Ren. Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan are all Cao Cao's clan disciples, but in front of outsiders, they also call Cao Cao 'lord'.
Gritting his teeth, Chen Xu said, "Mr. continue!" ”
Tian Feng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since the lord has the ambition of being a king, although he is labeled with the Yellow Turban Army, he must deliberately downplay it. ”
"Characters like Dong A Cheng Yu and Changshan Zhao Yun, even if the lord can subdue them in the future, they are never willing to call the lord 'Qu Shuai'."
"Moreover, compared with the title of 'lord', 'Qu Shuai' can be a subordinate and a superior, but it lacks a sense of master-subject relationship."
"The lord has great ambitions, and he should integrate his subordinates so that everyone can recognize the lord as the master. Acting in this way is the wind of the lord. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Xu gritted his teeth and said to Tian Feng: "Many of the above things are all up to Mr. ”
Tian Feng's heart was finally relieved.
The above three things, although they are all trivial. But if you don't deal with it early, it will be a disaster in the future.
After listening to his analysis, Chen Xu decided to rectify it without the slightest hesitation. is so vigorous and resolute, it is the master that the strategist likes.
Like Yuan Shao, a person who is scheming and has no opinions, even though the strategists under the account have all kinds of talents, they are useless.
"Now there are tens of thousands of people under the lord's account, and there are nearly 100,000 people in Mount Tai. If we do not make a law and maintain discipline, I am afraid that there will be riots, and I ask the lord to plan it as soon as possible. ”
When Chen Xu heard this, he thought of Cheng Yu and sighed faintly: "If Cheng Zhongde is here, why should I worry about this?" However, Chen Xu's fate is thin, and he has not been able to make Zhongde fall in love so far! ”
Tian Feng stroked his palms and laughed: "The lord wants to make Cheng Zhongde recognize the master, why is it difficult?" When the people of Mount Tai arrived here, within three days, a certain person must have said that Cheng Zhongde was willing to surrender. ”
Chen Xu was overjoyed, hurriedly got up and grabbed Tian Feng's hand and said, "If Mr. can convince Zhongde, my Yellow Turban Army will definitely be like a tiger, why worry about big things?" ”
Tian Feng saw that Chen Xu valued Cheng Yu so much, not only did he not have the slightest dissatisfaction, but he was relieved.
If the lord of his own family is thirsty for talent, how can he not be admired?
Tian Feng also held Chen Xu's hand and said: "In order to make the lord's great cause successful, Feng dares not to repay him with death?" ”
