Qiming 1158

Chapter 1279
Probably also noticed that the comparison between each other can virtually reduce the grievances of the army, and even reduce the internal friction of their own troops without worrying about mutiny, so the warlords have an idea.

Except for Lu, Zhou Qixiang, and Hou Pu, the four warlords all asked their subordinates to educate the top soldiers - don't stare at Lu Suobu, what's the point of watching too much?
But if you want to see more of Zhou Qixiang and Hou Pu's subordinates, and see how bad their lives are, do you think that the pigs you eat have become sweet and delicious when you see them and shake their heads and don't eat them?

Do you feel that you are very happy?

Happiness is right, dare not be happy?
Those who dared to be unhappy were killed.

If you look at those who are worse than yourself, look at how badly Zhou Qixiang and Hou Pu's subordinates are mixed up, and even starve to death many people. If you look at us, there are obviously fewer people who starve to death.

This is the advantage, this is happiness, and this is the reason why we must win over Zhou Qixiang and Hou Pu.

Through this series of words and techniques, the subordinates of the four warlords really made less troubles, and even became a little more active when they fought, which surprised the four warlords inexplicably.

Sure enough, people are more mad than people, and all the truths in the world are actually in the word [contrast].

And Zhou Qixiang and Hou Pu, who were treating themselves as a joke by the four major warlords, who were eating and drinking spicy food and playing with women in their comfortable houses, also felt a great sense of shame and crisis.

With the lack of food and clothing in their own army and the constant starvation of people, coupled with the help of their [friends] and their teams, they realized that if they continued like this, it was very likely to cause an army mutiny before they broke Chengdu.

Once there is a mutiny, if you are lucky, you can suppress it. If you are not lucky, you will go to the underworld to meet Yama, and what kind of dog emperor will you kill and what bird position will you take?

No, it can't continue like this.

There must be a way to change this situation.

Normal people know that dressing soldiers and feeding their stomachs is the best solution to the problem, but how can warlords be normal people?
Therefore, it is impossible to improve the food treatment for the cattle and horses.

It's not that they don't have that money, it's that they are unwilling and don't think they should use their own money to improve the treatment of cattle and horses.

The cattle and horses are born to suffer and suffer, how can they be fed and clothed?
This is not normal.

Therefore, in order not to make them feel that it is wrong to suffer and suffer, and to prevent them from feeling that food and clothing are what people deserve, they have to find another way.

To use the spiritual victory method.

They convened middle and senior officers to teach them the way of spiritual victory, which is to find the weak spot of the other party and compare their own good places. As long as they can find one, it can be counted as a victory, and as long as there is one excellent, they can win Come out to be partial.

Anyway, the right to speak is in my hands, so what do I say?
So they began to compare badly and began to look for places where the other party was inferior to them.

It's certainly easy.

Hou Pu's army was transformed from a regular army, and its weapons and equipment were better, so Hou Pu's army began to publicize that it was better than Zhou Qixiang's army, because their weapons and equipment were better, and there were many good steel knives.

And many people in Zhou Qixiang's army were even using sticks with sharpened heads.

Funny right?
In this comparison, Hou Pu's top soldiers immediately felt an inexplicable sense of pride, and immediately felt less resentment due to not having enough to eat.

At least we have steel knives, we have weapons, we can better protect ourselves when we kill the enemy.

And they are actually wooden sticks, hahahahaha!

After Zhou Qixiang heard about this, his mouth was crooked with anger, and he repeatedly scolded Hou Pu, a bastard, for being a bastard and looking for his own pain points, so he also tried his best to find Hou Pu's pain points.

Through careful research, Zhou Qixiang found that more people in Hou Pu's army starved to death than in his own army.

His own army only starved to death seven or eight people a day, while Hou Pu's army lost more than 20 people a day due to hunger and sickness.

Isn't this a huge victory?

So he seized the pain point of Hou Pu and hyped it up in his army, criticized Hou Pu's cruelty, and preached his benevolence and righteousness, so that the bulls and horses in his army were also proud and happy, thereby increasing his safety factor.

Of course Hou Pu was even more angry.

So the two sides began to fight more fiercely.

So there was a chain of contempt in the army outside the city where Lu Suobu despised the four major warlords, the four major warlords despised Zhou Qixiang and Hou Pu, and Zhou Qixiang and Hou Pu despised each other.

In addition to this main contempt chain, the troops of various warlords will also have some auxiliary contempt chains.

Anyway, the troops of the warlords are just as bad. The bad points that should be found can always be found if you look for them. There is no invulnerable existence.

For example, a commander with a relatively high status under Lu's commander has the advantage of Longyang, and often coerces his subordinates to provide services for him. The better the service, the higher the position.

Then during the siege, this situation was bumped into when other warlords came to visit, and it became a joke.

The other major warlords immediately ridiculed that Lu was Lord Longyang, and said that he simply changed his army's nickname to Longyang Army. Anyway, officers were promoted by this skill, and the entire army was all internal to solve the needs. Yes, it is simply a saint-level army.

The army that fights not for women, saint!
The remaining six warlords scoffed at Lu.

Lu lost the face of the boss for this, and the morale of the whole army was greatly weakened, and he couldn't raise his head in front of other troops. In anger, Lu directly chopped up the commander.

Outside the city, it's rotten, but it should be said or not. Of these seven armies, only Lu is the only army that can barely be regarded as an army. When the city was in the city, the pressure on Chengdu was the greatest.

The other six armies each have their own difficulties and their own laughs. There is something missing here, something missing there, and they can't keep up with supplies.

If a large number of people starved to death, this battle would not have to be fought, so at the suggestion of the staff, the warlords were forced to spend money to buy them from the army with abundant supplies.

The army officially bought it, and the soldiers bought it privately, or exchanged it with each other.

There are also some military quartermasters who have made a lot of money from this business, and many people have followed suit, so that more people are serious about doing business than people who are serious about fighting.

The progress of the battle is so predictable.

From the end of October of the seventh year of Hongwu to the beginning of December of the seventh year of Hongwu, the coalition of more than [-] warlords was able to fill the moat, and began to push the siege equipment to prepare to attack the city directly, and prepare for the ant attached to the city to start hand-to-hand combat.

However, the Chengdu defenders are not vegetarians. If the advantage of the moat is gone, then use the advantages of the city wall. All kinds of defending equipment are full, and the city is filled with materials. The golden juice, which is a strategic material for old farmers to see ecstasy, is used as hot water. The same goes down without money.

For a time, there was a strong atmosphere that moved people to tears outside the cold and windy Chengdu city.

This strong atmosphere brought a very high casualty rate for the troops outside the city, so whenever this familiar smell wafted out, the siege troops outside the city would panic and flee.

Under the persistent guard of the Chengdu defenders, this battle has been fought for more than a month without any progress. According to the estimates of the social elites under the command of the seven major warlords, the battle will not be over in a year.

Of course, this is not a problem in itself. It is normal to fight around a city for several years, but it is a little problem in the city of Chengdu at this moment.

Because the threat of the Ming army is still there.

Especially when the news that the Ming army had conquered Chongqing Prefecture came, there was a panic outside Chengdu.

Luzhou was at stake, and Zhou Qixiang's and Zhu Liang's troops, whose nest was very close to Luzhou, could not sit still, for fear that the Ming army would come and blow their nest.

Although there was no news that the Ming army was dispatched to fight for the time being, at the beginning of December, worried Zhou Qixiang and Zhu Liang reluctantly withdrew from the finals of the Chuan-Shu Emperor Competition and took the initiative to become one of the heroes. rather than the emperor.

They must return to their lair to protect their roots.

Their withdrawal made the other five people very happy, because they felt that with Zhou Qixiang and Zhu Liang blocking them, they could more easily seize the emperor's bird seat, and the probability of becoming emperor suddenly changed from one in seven to five one part.

Delicious.
