At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Senior military officers, on the other hand, do not have the power to punish soldiers when they are not in combat.

Only in wartime can senior officers punish subordinates who disobey orders because they have gained full leadership.

The most important thing for Wei Jun recruits to join the army is not military training, but military law learning, and in order to better learn military law, literacy is a must.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Wei Army generally know a lot of characters, and the first two characters they recognize are the two characters of country.

During the process of teaching by the military judge, the concept of the country was instilled in the soldiers, so that they knew what is a country, what is a home, what is one's own people, and what is an enemy.

We are all Chinese, and we are all our own people. We should not distinguish ourselves from the enemy based on our hometown.

No matter which state, county, or county they were born in, those who speak Chinese and recognize Chinese characters are all our own people, all of us are Chinese.

Since they are all Chinese, they must be treated differently. When attacking Chinese people ruled by the enemy, they must restrain themselves and restrain themselves. They are not allowed to burn, kill and loot at will, and are not allowed to bully the weak, women, children and the elderly.

Because they are all Chinese, and the soldiers of the Wei Army were also Chinese before they became soldiers. They came from the Chinese, so naturally they cannot bully the Chinese. If you bully their family members, will they not bully your family members?

The country is the family, the family is the country, and the family and the country are one. No one should bully anyone, and no one should discriminate against anyone.

So you can't burn, kill and loot. If you do it, you will fight in the nest, it is wrong, it is a great crime, and you must be punished.

Binding this kind of cognition with the military law, through the strict enforcement of the military law and without embarrassment, Guo Peng made the group of Wei Jun the first group of people with a Chinese vision in the entire Chinese group.

The Wei Jun group was the first to look at the whole Chinese people from the perspective of Chinese people.

Therefore, the later the Wei army paid more attention to military discipline in marching and fighting, and the more attention was paid to distinguishing combatants from ordinary Lishu.

Not to mention everything, at least this ratio is constantly increasing, and the mental outlook of the entire army has also undergone a slight difference.

In this way, it is easier for the Wei army to gain the favor and recognition of the people in the occupied areas during the march and battle.

After Guo Peng ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor to replace the Han Empire and establish the Wei Empire, the war goal gradually shifted from domestic to foreign, and the concept of Chinese was further consolidated and established among the Wei army group.

The Wei army group has never doubted or opposed such a concept from top to bottom, including the commanding generals.

The recruits didn't understand and were puzzled, but in such a group atmosphere, it was easy to have such an understanding.

Guo has no way to provide compulsory education to the people of the whole country. He doesn't have the money.

However, it is not difficult to educate the few 10 people in the Wei army in this area, instill in them the concept of the nation and nation while eliminating illiteracy, so that they have such a concept.

His ten years of hard work have not been in vain, he has obtained a well-disciplined and generally self-disciplined army.

Cao Xiu is naturally one of them.

Cao Xiu is very close to Guo Peng, so he understands more clearly what is a country, what is a nation, and what soldiers should pay attention to when marching and fighting.

He was full of hatred for those warlords who plundered and killed wantonly in the troubled times of the former Han Dynasty, and believed that they were not civilized people at all, and they could not even be regarded as a human being.

So when Cao Xiu watched Xinlimi lead his subordinates to chase and kill those little Kunmi leaders who were running around, he found it incredible and incomprehensible.

At this moment, he felt the difference between civilization and barbarism.

Barbarians, indeed barbarians.

Little Kunmi and the resistance army have been defeated. These people are Wusun people. They have lost their rule and leadership, and they have lost their force. They are already harmless.

Wouldn't it be a help to you to stop killing, to bring them into your dominion, to make them produce, to pay taxes, to have offspring and to increase the population?

Although I don't necessarily agree, you should come and beg me anyway, right?

As a result, he didn't even ask for it, and directly chased and killed him at the forefront.

Cao Xiu could only shake his head helplessly.

Feeling that some of my little calculations are weak in the face of their savagery.

The boundary between civilization and barbarism has never been so clear in Cao Xiu's mind.

At the same time, he also deeply realized how meaningful the enlightenment prevailing in the Wei army was.

If it weren't for the existence of this enlightenment, at this moment, the soldiers of the Wei army under his command would definitely not be what they are now.

It will definitely be the same as 30 or [-] years ago, this group of people from the Western Regions fought, killed, and showed their ugliness together.

Chapter 1043 One thousand and fifty-three Cao Xiu became their greatest common divisor

Xin Limi himself was merciless, and of course the armies of the seven countries in the Western Regions were also merciless, and they hunted and killed them very ferociously.

They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes, and they continued to kill before Cao Xiu's eyes. The scene was like purgatory on earth.

Countless people of the small Kunmi tribe were brutally killed here.

Their goods were looted, and their heads were beheaded as proof of victory, or as rewards, or as proof of their valor, to the king of their country.

Seeing such a scene, Zhao Yan frowned and approached Cao Xiu.

"Shouldn't we stop it a little bit? This is too much, this is to kill them all."

Cao Xiu pursed his lips and shook his head.

"This is my promise to them. It is the price I have to pay for using them to fight. If we don't let them burn, kill and loot to get the spoils, we have to give them comfort and rewards. Are you willing?"

Zhao Yan was silent.

"These people are from Wusun. If you want to blame them, blame them for not being born in Wei, not me, Wei Zimin."

Ma Yuan also approached Cao Xiu and supported Cao Xiu's view.

Zhao Yan didn't put forward any further opinions, but together with Cao Xiu led Wei Jun to slowly withdraw from this purgatory on earth, leaving the madness here to them, and taking civilization away from here.

The glory of civilization can't shine here for the time being, they are very unlucky.

This killing feast lasted more than a day and a night from morning to night, and the killing and robbery were still going on at dawn the next day.

But on the whole, the initial killing process has ended, and now it has transitioned to the process of looting the remaining population as slaves.

If you have killed enough, are tired of killing, and have vented your emotions, the rest will not be able to kill, so the rest of the losers should be arrested and brought back as slaves so that they can be oppressed and squeezed for a longer period of time.

In such a process, the hatred and dissatisfaction between each other due to the uneven distribution of spoils will erupt.

For example, Xinlimi felt that he contributed the most and suffered the most casualties. His army killed more than 3000 people in successive battles, injured countless people, and lost a lot of troops, cattle, sheep and horses.

At this time, isn't it the most normal for him to get the most spoils?

The generals of the other seven countries all said that Xinlimi could not beat Atami and needed their help. They sent troops to help selflessly, and they also prepared their own food and weapons. After paying huge casualties, Xinlimi actually wanted to bargain with them?

Without them sending troops, it is still a serious question whether Xinlimi can survive until now!

They collectively resisted the idea of ​​Sony, but their internal disputes were also serious.

For the distribution of population and materials, the rule of first come, first come, first come, first come, first come, first come, first come, first come, first come first, can no longer satisfy them, and they strongly demand a new change method.

The Kucha Kingdom believed that they sent the most troops and deserved the most spoils.

Che Shi's front and back two rarely stand on the united front, saying that they have lost the most and should get the most spoils, and then there are also internal disputes between the front and back two.

Wen Suguo felt that they provided the most grain and armaments, and their grain and armaments were used the most during the war, so they deserved the most spoils.

Other countries also have their own views.

As a result, as soon as Atami won the victory here, the civil war began to break out there.

Cao Xiu never expected that their will to fight would be so strong.

Atami had just been cleaned up here. In order to compete for the ownership of more than 1000 women, the army of Kucha and the army of Xinlimi started a fight, and hundreds of people were killed after a fight.

Xinlimi and the general of the Kucha Kingdom fought with red eyes and almost killed each other.

Then there are other small and medium-sized fires vying for the spoils across the vast battlefield.

Not only is it based on the country, but there are also battles for trophies within the country. For example, the two parts of Che Shi, before and after the battle, began to fight for more than 300 women right after the battle.

Before the scattered fire and war broke out, Cao Xiu led the Wei army to intervene urgently and forced them to stop fighting.

Cao Xiu is qualified.

He is the protector of the Western Regions, the leader of the actions of the countries in the Western Regions, and in fact the actual chief general of the countries in the Western Regions, with great authority.

The prestige was established after this battle, and now the prestige is enough.

And the most important thing is that the Wei army did not participate in the final battle for the spoils. They watched their plundering behavior coldly, and took the initiative to let the army leave the contention area and give up the contention.

Therefore, the Allied Army of the Western Regions believed that Cao Xiu was qualified to be the arbiter.

In this battle, the Wei army was not the main combat force. Cao Xiu did not let the Wei army show the strongest combat effectiveness, nor did he dispatch cavalry to charge and fight.

Because of the terrain and the restrictions of the battle, the Wei army collectively dismounted and participated in the battle as infantry.

Although it did not show the strongest combat effectiveness, the gap in the first line of defense was broken through the efforts of the attacking team dominated by the Wei army, and the breakthrough in the second line of defense was also opened by the attacking team at the expense of their lives. .

Therefore, Wei Jun is recognized as having made great contributions, but Cao Xiu voluntarily withdrew from the process of distributing the spoils after the war and gave up the spoils to the countries in the Western Regions. This behavior made everyone feel that Cao Xiu was upright.

They felt that Cao Xiu's actions were very wise, which made them very happy and admired, and they yearned for the grandeur of the Heavenly Kingdom even more.

Therefore, Cao Xiu came to mediate and arbitrate when he was caught in a dispute and an initial tie-up was acceptable to everyone.

In other words, Cao Xiu became their greatest common divisor.

This is a rare achievement.

Under Cao Xiu's suggestion, the leaders of the armies of all countries sent people to restrain their subordinates, temporarily truce, and listened to Cao Xiu's arbitration, intending to see how Cao Xiu would arbitrate, and then decide what to do.

Cao Xiu is quite satisfied with this identity.

"You all cooperated with each other during the war. Now that you have won the war, do you want to fall into the battle again because of the capture of some spoils? You didn't lose soldiers in the war against the enemy, but you lost soldiers when you fought for the spoils?

Don't you think you have more to gain than to lose in this way?There are only so many spoils. The more you fight, the more you lose, and the bigger the loss, the more you lose. Where should you supplement your losses? "

Cao Xiu severely reprimanded the officials of the countries in the Western Regions and severely criticized them.

These people lowered their heads and remained silent.

So Cao Xiu felt the beauty of prestige and power.

Taking a deep breath, Cao Xiuyu said earnestly: "This is the end of the matter, I don't want to say anything more. I, Cao Wenlie, am the Protector of the Western Regions. If you trust me, hand over all the spoils to me, and I will distribute them uniformly." .”

Cao Xiu gave a solution, and the speakers from all countries looked at Cao Xiu together.

Xin Limi was a little anxious, and asked: "What standard will Cao Duhu use to distribute the spoils? Cao Duhu, I..."

Before Xin Limi finished speaking, Cao Xiu stopped her.

"I know what you are worried about. You have suffered a lot in this war, but you also need to know that the losses of those who came to help you may not be small.

They came here to save you, and the food and grass they traveled all the way were all paid by themselves. Do you think it is appropriate not to give them this loot?Without their help, Da Kunmi, do you really think there is no problem? "

Cao Xiu stared at Xin Li Mi, but he didn't speak clearly, but the meaning in the words was very clear.

As cowardly as you are, without us helping you clean up Atami, can you really handle it?

Come on!

Xin Limi was terrified by Cao Xiu's look, knowing that he was wrong, and with a guilty conscience, he didn't speak anymore.

So Cao Xiu established the principle of distributing the spoils according to the size of the effort and the size of the loss.

chapter 1044 one thousand and fifty-four

On the issue of distribution, Cao Xiu seemed very fair.

In principle, the greater the effort and the greater the loss, the more spoils will be distributed, and the smaller the effort and the smaller the loss, the less the spoils will be distributed.

Of course, as the arbiter, Cao Xiu once again promised that he would not want anything, and that the Wei Empire, as their suzerain, would not want anything.

In the end, under Cao Xiu's allocation, Xin Li Mi got the most share.

Then there is the country of Kucha, the front and rear of Cheshi, and then other countries.

The number of loot was counted by Cao Xiu, accurate to single digits, such as the number of men, women, children, and the elderly, the number of tents, the number of dried meat, the number of gold, silver, pearls, jade, and other sundries, etc., all accurate to single digits.

Then Cao Xiu gave them a math lesson in front of them.

Cao Xiu used arithmetic skills they had never seen before, did some addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and then came up with the amount of spoils that should be obtained for each part.

Cao Xiu didn't know these things originally, and someone from Guo taught them.
