These days, Lu Yao has been very busy, feeling like a spinning top spinning around, he can't be idle at all, and he can only sleep for one or two hours almost every day. After more than a month, Rao is Lu Yao boasted that he was energetic, and he couldn't support it.

The first thing he did with his heart was to reward his subordinates for their meritorious service.

There is nothing more important for an army after a hard-fought battle. "Military Sayings" says: "The army has no wealth, and the soldiers do not come; There is no reward for the army, and the soldiers do not go. The so-called "wealth" and "reward" include not only gold and silk, but also status promotion and various spiritual incentives.

After the Xiongnu army went north, they plundered the forts of the Hao tribe on a large scale, and part of the grain obtained was directly consumed, and most of the gold and silver property was looted by the chiefs and lords of various departments. Due to the unfavorable war, many Xiongnu nobles were killed or captured, and these assets were finally collected into the hands of Yue Shigong. With these seized materials, Yue Shigong was very generous when rewarding his soldiers. For example, Lu Yao obtained 12 pieces of gold cakes, a certain amount of money, 500 horses of silk, and 500 horses of miscellaneous silk. This is a reward for the entire army, and it is completely distributed by Lu Yao.

Lu Yao did not hesitate to distribute all of them to his subordinates, causing a round of jubilation. It's not that he wants to deliberately win people's hearts, but because according to his knowledge of this period of history, hoarding money is probably the most ridiculous thing right now. What's more, the entire Jinyang is in a mess right now, and no matter how much money you have, you can't spend it.

In addition to the reward of money, there is also the promotion of officers at all levels. Xue Tong and Shen Jin were promoted to generals because of their merits, and since then they have entered the sequence of senior officers, and they can use the general flag marked with their surnames. Xue Tong, who has a calm personality, is just fine, and Shen Jin is simply ecstatic about it. He entered and exited the camp gate more than 100 times a day, and every time he would look up at the military flag with the word "Shen" at the camp gate for a long time, he was full of ambition. Until one day I noticed that my head and neck muscles twitched and I couldn't lift it anymore.

Those who were promoted to military masters included Deng Gang, Guo Huan, Fei Cen, Yang Ruo, Xie Yuan and others. Numerous appointments were made to other mid- and lower-ranking officer positions. For example, Zhu Sheng, He Yun, Chu Kun, Mu Lan and others all became team leaders. The number of officers has increased a lot, and of course there are not so many troops to replenish for a while. However, after this great victory, no less than 10,000 prisoners were captured on several battlefields, including Huns, Qiang, Wuhuan and other miscellaneous Hu. The captives were temporarily used as hard labor, responsible for repairing battle damage everywhere. As hard labor, they were naturally treated with extreme harshness, and after a certain period of time, the most unruly people were put to death, and the rest was naturally replenished into the various armies.

At present, these new team leaders, chiefs, and other grass-roots officers have no subordinates. Since this was the case, Lu Yao was determined to gather them together and spare two hours or more every day to teach them basic military knowledge. He even considered it very seriously, the name of the "Whampoa Military Academy" was particularly loud, and the name of the "Jinyang Branch of the Army Command Academy" seemed to be very professional.

That's definitely a good idea. It's a pity that once it was put into practice, Lu Yao was depressed to find that most of his time was spent on teaching literacy. In this era, it is the norm for grassroots soldiers to be illiterate, and it is a dream to tell these coarse people who do not know a single word about the art of war. In the end, Lu Yao had to find two old Confucians, and told the officers about "Urgent Chapter" and "Cangjie Chapter" every day, forcing them to complain bitterly. Everything must be done gradually, and you can't expect it to happen overnight, Lu Yao comforted himself.

The rewards given to the soldiers are not limited to these things. In addition to money rewards and status promotions, Lu Yao also paid attention to emotional exchanges and spiritual encouragement with the soldiers.

There is a cloud in the art of war: "Treat the pawn as a baby, so you can go to the deep stream with it; Treat the pawn as a beloved son, so he can die with it. "As a traverser, perhaps the biggest characteristic compared to the ancients is that the concept of respect and inferiority is extremely weak. Lu Yao regards every soldier as an equal brother to himself, and in addition to daily training, he will chat with the soldiers about the small trivial things around him, talk about his nostalgia for his hometown, and shake the lance together. This kind of heartfelt and sincere affection is by no means comparable to the deliberate disguised act of sucking.

After the victory of this war, Lu Yao held a grand funeral for the soldiers who died in the war. Subsequently, Lu Yao ordered the lamp tube to build a large house in the barracks to enshrine the spiritual seat of each sacrificial comrade-in-arms, and even arranged for every officer above the military master to take turns to pay tribute to the task. On this day, the whole army participated in the solemn and solemn sacrificial ceremony.

Many of the soldiers wept as they remembered the dead brothers, and this kind of mutual grief was strictly forbidden in any army, as it could lead to demoralization and even tragedy such as a camp roar. But on this day, the mourning of the dead almost immediately translates into a determination to share the same hatred, because while remembering the dead, the living soldiers feel that they have dignity and value here. They will gradually realize that under Lu Yao's subordinates, there are no lowly military households driven by cattle and horses, only heroic soldiers who defend their families and defend the country and are respected.

In addition, there was an unexpected job that involved a lot of Lu Yao's energy.

In the Battle of Jinyang, Lu Yao, as the general of the east of Zhaoyu Qi, led his troops to fight many tragic battles. After killing the rebel general Long Jimeng under Jinyang City, he and the troops he led were no longer able to undertake combat missions, so when Yue Shigong and Xianbei's army went south, Lu Yao stayed in Jinyang City. There were a lot of wounded under his subordinates, so Lu Yao vacated a large area of the military camp as a treatment place for the wounded.

The diagnosis and treatment and care of the wounded made Lu Yao anxious.

It should be said that during the Western Jin Dynasty, traditional Chinese medicine had developed to a fairly mature level. Zhang Zhongjing, a famous physician at the end of the Han Dynasty, wrote "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", in which the principles of treatment proposed by the classification of the Six Classics have been one of the basic principles of Chinese medicine for nearly 2,000 years. At the same time, another famous doctor, Hua Tuo, reached the pinnacle of traditional Chinese medicine and surgical treatment, and he performed general anesthesia on patients through Ma Boiling San, which is an unprecedented miracle in the history of world medicine. In the Jin Dynasty, the imperial physician Ling Wang Shuhe further summarized and improved medical theories on the basis of Zhang Zhongjing's research. The "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" was supplemented and analyzed into two books, "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" and "Jin Kui Yaolu", and he himself proposed the method of "taking an inch and cutting the pulse alone", which was used until the 21st century.

But these are the most high-end medical standards after all, and most of the ordinary doctors in addition to them are still at the level of witch doctors. As far as Lu Yao could see, several of the healers he invited were actually people like divine sticks, and they used talisman water far more often than herbal medicines, and their psychological comfort to patients was far greater than the actual therapeutic effect.

Due to the low level of medical care, the mortality and disability rates of the injured are quite high. Lu Yao is not a doctor, and he is almost helpless about it. He could only do his best to provide the injured with a ventilated, clean environment, and a nutritious diet such as meat; and strictly ordered to strengthen disinfection and isolation measures. In the eyes of many doctors, these measures are undoubtedly the guidance of laymen to insiders, and even caused dissatisfaction among several doctors. Lu Yao, on the other hand, eliminated many objections and resolutely carried them out to the end in the form of military orders.

As a result, these measures have achieved considerable results, and the proportion of wounded in Lu Yao's department seems to be much higher than that of other departments. In the eyes of outsiders, what Lu Yao did was like divine help, and it was a bit mysterious.

This situation soon became known to many fellow generals. For example, Ding Miao honestly and unceremoniously sent all the wounded in his headquarters to Lu Yao, and then several generals followed suit, making Lu Yao's military camp almost a field hospital, with less than 500 serious soldiers and more than 1,000 wounded.

Lu Yao took great pains to take care of them, and these wounded people were all in his eyes. They recuperated and treated in Lu Yao's military camp for just a few days, and nearly 100 people offered to stay under Lu Yao's command. The vast majority of the wounded were experienced veterans, and as long as they could recover their health, they were the backbone of the army. Lu Yao naturally would not refuse, but how to raise it with their original boss has become a headache.

All sorts of trivial matters like this have to be completed in just ten months. Not long after Lu Yao's own injuries healed, he was already busy with his feet. He seized every minute and every second to transform what he could, transforming this army that belonged to him.

Although the Battle of Jinyang ended in the victory of Yue Shigong, Lu Yao clearly knew how lucky this victory was. And Jinyang, which is ruined everywhere, can hardly afford another victory. The memories of the traverser floated clearly in his mind, and those terrifying futures reminded Lu Yao every moment: time is pressing!

Lu Yao pondered countless times what to do next. In the past few months, he is confident that he has initially gained the capital to gain a foothold. But in order to survive in the coming turmoil, and even to realize one's aspirations, one needs more powerful forces, a base area, and a gun! But where do these come from? What else can you get in the desolate state? Or, to put it pessimistically, with a thousand-year-old famous scholar like Xu Run, who was making trouble in the shogunate of Yue Shigong, how far could the Jinyang regime go?

Lu Yao once again fell into deep thought.

This question, and many more hidden behind it, is not so easy to figure out.

Of course, Xue Tong and Deng Gang were not as anxious as Lu Yao, they were chatting while taking a big sip of light wine, and before they could say a few words, they suddenly heard the sound of hooves moving in the distance on the long street. Dozens of horses in fresh clothes came at a gallop. Everywhere I went, chickens and dogs jumped, and pedestrians retreated.

Xue Tong and Deng Gang hurriedly covered the pots and pans in front of them, so as not to be polluted by dust.

But I saw someone restrain his horse slightly: "Lu Yao? "The person who spoke was dressed in a wide brocade robe, but it was not Liu Kun, the general of Pingbei and the assassin of Bingzhou.

Lu Yao replied loudly: "The end will be!" ”

Liu Kun clamped the horse's belly with his feet and continued to gallop. Only to throw a voice: "Come with me!" ”

Lu Yao hurriedly led the war horse out, and worked back and forth, Liu Kun's cavalry had already run away. In the billowing smoke and dust, only one rider was left behind. Immediately, the knight waved his hand again and again, and it turned out to be Wang Xiu, who served as the guard of Yue Shigong.

Lu Yao agreed loudly and chased after him.
