Northern Prefecture Rivers and Mountains

Chapter 179 Supervisor

Dai Qizhi was very obedient.

He did whatever Liu Daogui asked him to do. Although he was the prefect of Lanling in name, he was actually still in the hands of Liu Daogui.

This person did have some talent. He checked the household registration, cleared up wrongful convictions, and pacified refugees, and handled everything in an orderly manner.

It was as if he knew what Liu Daogui needed and catered to him in every way.

Even two beautiful concubines were sent over.

"Dai Qizhi is insidious and cunning. He sent his concubine here to make you relax your vigilance, giving him an opportunity to take advantage of you. Don't be fooled by him. Leave these two women to me!" Liu Zun made up a bunch of excuses.

However, his words do make some sense. For a man who can give away his concubine at will, his scheming and cunning can be imagined. I am afraid he hates me to the core.

Defenses can not do without.

Besides, Liu Daogui didn't have Wei Wu's habits, and there was no shortage of women these days. He even had three of them in Guangling.

"Send them back."

“Send… it would be such a waste to send it back…” Liu Zun opened his eyes wide, full of anticipation.

"This is for your own good. These two people have unknown origins. Who knows what An is thinking? This is settled." Liu Daogui patted his shoulder.

I have to say that these two concubines are indeed attractive. They are big where they should be big, small where they should be small, and charming in every way. Any man would be attracted to them.

Dai Qizhi took the initiative to send them up for no reason, and his intentions are unpredictable.

With Cao Sifei around, Liu Daogui didn't dare to do anything too outrageous.

Don't be fooled by her usual weak appearance. She is very opinionated when encountering things. She is usually respectful and frugal, and compassionate to the people. She is quite prestigious among the eight buildings, and her words and deeds show the spirit of the mistress of the house.

Treat Liu Daogui with respect.

Of course, Liu Daogui didn't dare to do anything wrong. The man was in charge of the outside affairs, and the woman was in charge of the inside affairs. Any matter of taking a concubine had to be approved by her.

Since stopping her uncle Liu Juanzi's medicine, and thanks to Liu Daogui's unremitting efforts, Cao Sifei's stomach finally showed signs of movement.

We can't let her be sad at this time.

"Okay, I'll send it to Changliu myself." Liu Zun scratched his head.

"I asked you to deliver a meat bun, but it's not a meat bun. You beat the dog and it never comes back. Okay, don't bother with this matter anymore."

He has no shortage of women. He has over a dozen in Yucheng and six in Guangling. He's like a tireless stallion. I don't know how he can be so energetic...

Liu Daogui did this for his own good.

Liu Zhong suppressed his laughter and said, "Then this Dai Qizhi..."

"Keep an eye on the person first and be careful." Liu Daogui was not fooled by appearances.

"Yes, sir." Liu Zhongji is a very capable soldier. He has gained experience in recent years and is able to stand on his own.

Liu Zun was still grumbling, but Liu Daogui ignored him and rushed to the training ground.

On the field, fifty-one soldiers from various factions stood solemnly under the scorching sun, their faces covered in sweat, looking like they were armed with spears.

These are all people who have made contributions in the past two years. After being screened in the war, each of them has at least ten heads of barbarians in his hands. From their murderous eyes, it can be seen that they are all warriors.

Several of them were credited with being the first to reach the summit, beheading generals, and capturing flags.

Among the four thousand soldiers, there were only seventy-three Tiger Guards, which shows the quality of these people. Among the more than twenty brave warriors who followed Meng Ganzhi back that day, except for those who were injured or promoted to officers, the rest were all among them.

Liu Daogui valued not only their bravery, but also their loyalty.

He even risked his life to actively block Ping You's reinforcements, and still managed to survive. He is already an elite soldier who has fought many battles.

The soldiers laid out strong liquor, and Liu Daogui picked up a bowl. "From today on, you are all Tiger Soldiers. Tiger Soldiers are the soul of China and the elite of the army. It is your responsibility to defend the land and the people, and to expand the territory. Cheers!"

"Dry!"

Everyone roared and drank it all in one gulp.

"Soldier, when will you avenge Lord Liu?" one man asked indignantly. "Ping You and Murong Long are in Gaoping City. I am willing to go and assassinate them alone!"

"And I!"

Liu Heipi treated them like his own brothers. After he died heroically in battle, even his body was not found, and he still finds it hard to let it go.

Others followed suit, hoping to capture cities and gain military merit.

To be a Tiger Guard, one must be brave and courageous.

Driving out the barbarians and recovering our country was originally the goal of Bazhuang.

"I'm pleased you're so kind, but don't be reckless. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. What's the point of stealthily assassinating them? To avenge our grievances, we must defeat them squarely on the battlefield, reclaim our land, and use their blood to pay tribute to our compatriots who have tragically died at their hands over the past eighty years! So from now on, your lives are no longer yours; they belong to China! Do you understand?"

Liu Daogui became more and more passionate as he spoke.

Don’t you want revenge too?

It's just that his strength is too weak and the time is not right. The State of Yan is at its most powerful. Relying on the few troops he has to march north is like hitting a rock with an egg.

Under normal circumstances, he is not even a match for Murong Long.

Liu Daogui was not carried away by the previous two victories. During this period, he should be humble and wait for the right time, and not fight against fate.

Murong Chui was invincible in battle, but he also surrendered to Fu Jian and suffered humiliation, unable to even protect his own woman and eldest son...

"clear!"

The soldiers shouted loudly one by one.

Originally, they had much more to say, but when they thought of Liu Heibin, they suddenly felt sad. After drinking a few bowls of wine, they went their separate ways.

This little episode also served as a reminder to Liu Daogui that he must always keep abreast of the soldiers' mental state and the movements in the army, and always keep the army in his own hands.

Since the Five Barbarians Invasion of China, most of the tragedies have been caused by the dispersion of military power.

Cao Wei is a living example. The military power among the royal family gradually dispersed, and Sima Yi took advantage of it.

The Sima family's military power was distributed among the princes of all sizes, which led to the Rebellion of the Eight Kings. After moving south, they never had military power, so there were powerful ministers in every generation.

The same was true of the Hu Kingdom in the north. As soon as they had a little military power, they took up arms and rebelled.

Shi Le's entire family was slaughtered by his nephew Shi Hu, and Shi Hu's entire family was slaughtered by his adopted grandson Ran Min.

Liu Daogui had to return to Guangling frequently, making it difficult for him to take care of both sides. Over time, the soldiers in the group would develop a personal dependence relationship with the group leader and the general. It was not that he did not trust his subordinates, but that it was due to the situation and human nature could not stand the test.

After taking over Lu County, Bazhuang had become a force to be reckoned with. If they wanted to go further and complete the Northern Expedition, they had to pay attention to the system.

Build an iron army that only obeys yourself.

There was a Duhu in the Jin army, which was almost the same as a military supervisor, but he could command soldiers.

Liu Daogui made some slight modifications and changed it to supervisor of the team, supervisor of the officers, and supervisor of the schools.

Select people from the troops who can read, write and speak eloquently. They will not interfere with the military command of the officers, but will only be responsible for supervising the atmosphere in the army and the thoughts of the soldiers.

In your spare time, you can recite a passage or two from a book to boost morale and rally people's hearts.

However, these days there are many people who are eloquent, but very few who can read and write.

Liu Daogui looked around and only found six or seven people.

In an emergency, we have to take the initiative and lower the standards. As long as the person is reliable and eloquent, he will be able to be demoted to the team level, that is, one supervisor for every fifty people.

Liu Zhong was appointed as the supervising schoolmaster.

"Wu Zi's chapter on military affairs says, 'People often die because of what they cannot do, and are defeated because of what they cannot do.' Therefore, in the art of war, teaching and admonishing come first! If soldiers are not taught first, they are useless. Soldiers must know why they are fighting, and more importantly, they must know loyalty, righteousness, integrity, and shame."

Liu Daogui defined the duties of the supervisors in just one sentence.
