Xuande

Chapter 572

In this battle, Lu Bu rushed forward underestimated the enemy, almost lost the battle, and suffered heavy losses. The Bingzhou cavalry suffered thousands of casualties, their morale was damaged, and his general Zhang Yang was also injured.

Lu Bu was very frustrated by this, so he did not advance further, but stayed in Yangle County to rest and reorganize his troops.

Zhang Fei did not continue to march, and sent people to report the matter to Liu Bei, and then sent people to the east to continue to investigate the movements of the Wuhuan people and initiate a search for the enemy.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Liu Bei led the main force to Yangle County, met Zhang Fei, and also met Lu Bu who took the initiative to plead guilty.

Liu Bei was dissatisfied with the fact that Lu Bu underestimated the enemy and almost lost the battle.

"Fengxian, the most taboo thing for a general is not being able to know oneself and the enemy, being blindly impulsive, and rushing out troops without making preparations, hoping to defeat the enemy with bloody courage, but once the enemy counterattacks effectively, bloody courage is exhausted. If you win, your army will inevitably be defeated, don't you understand this truth?"

Liu Bei looked at Lu Bu seriously, while Lu Bu looked ashamed.

"The last general did not fight well, and underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. He almost made a big mistake. Please punish the general!"

"This is not a matter of punishing or not punishing. It is the loss you caused to the army by underestimating the enemy. You have to reflect on it. You have to know your mistakes. How many people died in battle and how many people were injured and disabled!"

Liu Bei said heartbroken: "To you, they are just soldiers, but to their families, they are irreplaceable sons, husbands, fathers, without them, how do you let their families imagine?
Fengxian, you also have family members. Have you thought about how sad your family members will be when they hear the news of your death in battle?Have you ever thought that after you underestimate the enemy and die in battle, your family and your descendants will be properly taken care of?Won't someone bully them? "

Lu Bu looked up at Liu Bei with a look of astonishment on his face.

It was as if he had never thought about these questions.

"General, this..."

"I know that you may have never thought about such a thing before, and you didn't take their lives seriously, but I must tell you that from now on, you must start thinking about it."

In front of all the generals, Liu Bei said slowly: "From the first day my direct subordinates join the army, I will tell them the meaning of joining the army, the meaning of going to the battlefield, and the meaning of protecting themselves and their companions. You may also listen to it. I said that my direct subordinates have to pass a written test every time they are promoted.

I think, you, and all of you here must have some opinions on my regulations, and feel that it is too complicated, but what I want to do is to engrave the four words of respecting life into each of you. In the head of man!

The soldiers under your command are not a string of numbers, but living people with flesh and blood and family members!You have the identity of husband, father, and son, and they have the same identity. People are not grass and trees, and who has no family?

If you die in battle, your family will be sad, and if a soldier dies in battle, won’t their family be sad?I bring them into battle, and I can't guarantee that each of them will leave alive, but I will do everything within the scope of my ability!
Food, medicine, daily necessities, strategic warfare, equipment, I have to do everything!In this way, even if there are casualties, I have a clear conscience, it is inevitable!It is beyond the reach of human beings, but what humans can do, I will do it all!Liu Xuande acted all his life, but he wanted a clear conscience! "

Liu Bei looked at Lu Bu seriously: "Feng Xian, let me ask you, do you have a clear conscience about the outcome of this matter?"

Liu Bei's voice rumbled in Lu Bu's ears like thunder, which made Lu Bu dumbfounded and stiff, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Along with the generals, some sighed, some expressed emotion, they looked at Lu Bu, and then at Liu Bei.

To be honest, most of the people who followed Liu Bei didn't quite understand why Liu Bei took human life so seriously at the beginning.

Most of them come from good backgrounds, at least they are not pure grassroots people, so they naturally look at the world from the heads of ordinary people, and have an indifferent attitude towards their lives.

And as far as this era is concerned, human life is really not that important.

In this era, no one shouted that human life is at stake, and no one has proposed this concept.

In this era, everyone's eyes are fixed on the sky, and they are afraid of the sky above their heads. The sky is supreme. No one dares to say that their own life is as important as the sky. Few people have a deep understanding of the concept of human life.

People in this era generally don't care about other people's lives, and some people don't even care about their own lives. When people die, they die. They don't see a few dead people every day, and they think it's a strange thing.

But in this era when no one cares about human life, there is a Liu Bei who cares about human life very much.

Regardless of whether he was a subordinate or not, when he first joined his group, he repeated the concept of human life over and over again, telling them to value human life and care about human life.

Just talk but not practice fake moves, just talk is not enough, it depends on actions.

Liu Bei is also a serious action.

Among all the armies in the world, only Liu Bei has set up a large-scale military medical team.

There are skilled military doctors and skilled first responders on the battlefield, who will spend a fixed proportion of military expenses on medicinal materials and medical equipment. There are even medicinal material bases that specialize in planting medicinal materials, and the output of medicinal materials is exclusively for use by the army.

When recruiting soldiers, those with poor physical fitness but hardworking and hardworking were included in the army and served as first aiders on the battlefield.

The existence of this large-scale battlefield rescue team has suppressed the death rate of injuries and illnesses in Liu Bei's army to the lowest point that can be achieved in this era, and also made the number of veterans in the army very large.

On the one hand, this makes the army's combat effectiveness extremely strong. On the other hand, a kind of ideology of respecting life and caring about human life that is very different from this era has also taken root, grown and spread in this army.

From the beginning, everyone thought it was indifferent and unnecessary, but in the end everyone recognized it, and even took it for granted. From top to bottom, everyone took it for granted.

And more importantly, in the eyes of Liu Bei's subordinates, he is a very humane and trustworthy leader.

Because he cared so much about the life of a small soldier, so he cared about the life of a villain with a huge difference in status from him, so naturally, he would cherish their lives and would not treat them as "consumables" for power struggles.

Therefore, the mutual trust between the upper and lower members of the Liu Bei Group was also established.

His subordinates didn't think that Liu Bei was a ruthless leader who would use them as consumables for profit. They trusted Liu Bei, so they didn't have unnecessary doubts about Liu Bei's orders.

An order is a simple order, unless there is a special explanation, it is an order in the literal sense, just follow it, don't worry about anything, if something goes wrong, Liu Bei will protect them.

This kind of rare mutual trust makes the internal loss of Liu Bei group far lower than other groups, and it will also make people who join from the outside feel a special atmosphere.

For example, Lu Bu did not expect that Zhang Fei, who had nothing to do with him, would lead his troops to save his life, and also saved the entire army of the Bingzhou Corps from being wiped out.

So, faced with such a situation, faced with Liu Bei's stern questioning, Lu Bu, who was not afraid of anything, couldn't utter a single rebuttal, but believed from the bottom of his heart that he was wrong and should be punished.

He lowered his head and pursed his lips.

"The last general has a guilty conscience. What the general taught me is that I ask the general to punish me!"

Liu Bei looked at Lu Bu and was silent for a while.

"Fengxian, you and your subordinates are not my headquarters. I have never trained or taught you. The Master said, killing without teaching is called abuse. I don't want to be a tyrant or do a tyrannical thing.

You have to solve this matter by yourself. You go to face your subordinates and soldiers, arrange them properly, and restore morale. Before that, you should not go out to fight.

Also, this time I told you and taught you, I will not punish you, but if there is another time, you follow me to fight and make the same mistake, then the military regulations are strict, and I will not spare you. "

"The last general obeys orders, the last general dare not forget..."

Lu Bu accepted Liu Bei's order in a low mood, took two steps back, turned and left Liu Bei's military tent.

Afterwards, Liu Bei no longer entangled with this matter, but continued to hold meetings to discuss further strategic deployment.
