Traveling through Chenghan Xiandi, fortunately I have a simulator

Chapter 71

In the past, for many ordinary soldiers, Shichang was the limit they could achieve, but it was still difficult for Shichang to get rewards from the court, so most soldiers just muddled along. Ordinary people have a comfortable life, and if they are lucky, they can even command operations when they are a senior officer.

However, when they heard His Majesty read out the rewards for Shichang, their expressions completely changed. This should be the first time they heard that Shichang also got rewards, corporal leaders also got rewards, and even ordinary soldiers also got rewards. In front of Jin, the soldier's eyes were completely red.

In the past, soldiers could only obtain gold and food by looting cities. This method has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the imperial court can satisfy the soldiers at the bottom without spending any money. The disadvantage is that the population of captured cities has dropped sharply. , the wealth has been greatly reduced, and the difficulty of governance has increased.

Zhang Ming thought that if the army he wants to train is to become a real professional army, only by increasing the income of soldiers at the bottom can it be possible to limit the behavior of soldiers looting everywhere. Looting is a good thing for soldiers, but it is not good for the government. bad thing.

After Zhang Ming finished rewarding, he looked at the excited soldiers below, and said loudly again.

"Soldiers and soldiers, I hope that you can actively kill the enemy on the battlefield. Every time you kill an enemy, you will be rewarded by the court." Zhang Ming was very satisfied with the expressions of these soldiers.

"Your Majesty is mighty" followed Yang Ding and shouted.

The officers and soldiers below also shouted out.

"Your Majesty is mighty"

"Your Majesty is mighty"

"Your Majesty is mighty"

Under Huangfusong's signal, the voice below slowly stopped.

"General Huangfu, I still have to go to the North City Gate to condolences to the soldiers, and the rewards of the others will be handed over to you."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Ming walked out of the barracks, along with the commander of the right army and other forbidden troops.

Sitting in the emperor's car again, Zhang Ming discovered a tricky thing. Once the right to rewards is handed over to the general, it will still not be in the hands of ordinary soldiers. General Huangfusong is fine, he has no exclusive rights to these rewards. Zhang Ming firmly believed that these rewards could reach the hands of the soldiers, but what about the other generals?How many generals can be indifferent to these rewards, even if the court gave the generals the rewards they deserved, don't they want more rewards?

So Zhang Ming decided to keep the right to rewards firmly in his hands, but he didn't have so much time to deal with the rewards of the low-level soldiers, so he planned to set up an official position dedicated to rewards and send his most trusted people to be in charge of the entire army. reward.

Until today, Zhang Ming discovered how difficult it is to establish information exchange from the top to the bottom.In the previous life, with the help of the efficient information transmission method of the Internet, it was extremely difficult for the low-level news to reach the superiors, let alone this era.

After Zhang Ming arrived at the North City Gate, he went through the process again according to the previous situation in Huangfu Songna.Afterwards, I went through the process of going to the East Gate, as well as the South Gate.

After walking through the four city gates, it was almost dark, so Zhang Ming returned to the palace in the emperor's car.

When he arrived outside the Gaomen Hall, Zhang Ming saw that Li Ru was already waiting for him there. Since he had appointed Li Ru as a servant and enjoyed the right to freely enter and leave the palace, no one stopped Li Ru along the way.

After both Zhang Ming and Li Ru walked into the high gate hall, Li Ru blurted out.

"Your Majesty, Xu Rong is willing to surrender to the imperial court."

Hearing this good news, Zhang Ming's exhaustion seemed to disappear all of a sudden. After all, it was an army of more than 3, and Xu Rong's leadership ability was not weak, so he might not be able to be trained as a general.

"Okay, I see. Is there anything Xu Rong needs the court to do?" Zhang Ming didn't know Xu Rong well after all.

"Your Majesty, Xu Rong has nothing else to ask for." Li Ru said in a fake way.

"I have asked Xu Rong to act as a countermeasure. Once there is news of the Allied Army, I will immediately tell the court. Don't worry, Your Majesty." Li Ru's words reassured Zhang Ming again.

"I am excellent in literature, great things can be accomplished." Zhang Ming finally had a counselor in his hands, and he did not expect that the first time he made a plan, he would do it so perfectly.

"It is precisely because of His Majesty's disregard of past suspicions that I have today." Li Ru said respectfully.

"Okay, what reward do you want, some in the palace can choose freely." Zhang Ming asked again.

"I have nothing else to ask for." Li Ru said again.

"Then Li Shizhong should go back earlier, I have troubled Li Shizhong these few days." Zhang Ming said.

"Resignation," Li Ru said, then turned and left the high gate hall.

After Li Ru left, Zhang Ming called Cui Ming.

"Cui Ming, I need you to go to the east gate and west gate in person, and inform the two generals, Huangfusong and Lu Bu, about Xu Rong's surrender. Except for these two generals, no one is allowed to tell this news." Seen by Zhang Ming In the future, Xu Rong's surrender can even reverse the situation inside and outside the city in advance, so he can only tell the most important and trusted people, and there is no doubt that those are the two generals.

As for the other ministers, Zhang Ming did not intend to tell them. After all, the more people there are, the greater the risk of leaking secrets. The surrendered Xu Rong is a target inserted on the Allied Army outside the city. bleed.

General Mansion of Huayin County
"Zhang Ji, the grand master is dead. Is this how you avenged the grand master?" Niu Fu was angry. As Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, he was extremely dissatisfied when he saw Zhang Ji's army's lack of fighting spirit.

"Niu Fu, although you are the leader of the alliance, we are only in an alliance relationship, not completely obeying you. The grand master was killed by the court, how can we not hate it, but it is Huangfusong who is stationed at the east gate of Chang'an, not to mention I only have more than 3 troops, how dare I attack?" Zhang Ji said.

"Don't talk nonsense, then you won't detour to the south gate?" Niu Fu asked again.

"With so many people on our side, won't we be spotted by Huangfusong's scouts when we go around the south gate? Do you think Huangfusong is so stupid that he will leave the south gate undefended and wait for us?" Zhang Ji simply asked. He didn't send troops to understand the situation at the South City Gate, after all, he didn't really want to attack Chang'an City.

"Okay, stop arguing, you two, the grand master has been dead for 10 days, but we haven't even seen the dead body of the grand master. My spies in Chang'an reported a few days ago that the dead body of the grand master is gone. , In the next few days, the spies in Chang'an City can't come out again, so I don't know the specific situation now, but I think the grand master definitely doesn't want to see his subordinates arguing here," Li Jue said.

"Listen to me, it's useless to argue over who is at fault here. The important thing is how to capture Chang'an City. Let's make an appointment with King Li Meng, Fang Liangzhou's local forces and all the allied forces to launch a general attack first. See if Chang'an City can really be defended, if it can be defended, then think of other strategies, if the city cannot be defended, the army will immediately enter the city and take back the body of the Grand Master." Jia Xu offered a strategy.
