Then he looked at Lu Yan and ordered: "Let the craftsmen prepare the floating bridge immediately!"
"Here!" Lu Yan took the order, and then began to make arrangements.He knew in his heart that Liu Tao probably had already made up his mind.
Guan Yu was very confused, looked at the sky, it was half past noon (twelve o'clock), so it was not early?It's just that seeing Liu Tao also turned around and went back, he could only shake his head helplessly.
Soon, the whole army was rested and rested on the spot, waiting for further orders.Except for the soldiers who need to be on duty, the other soldiers eat dinner an hour earlier and then go to bed immediately.
At this point, Guan Yu has come to realize that his brother is going to attack at night!Thinking about it, it is quiet at night, and the risk of crossing the river can be slightly reduced. It is indeed much safer than crossing the river with great fanfare during the day.
Another 10 minutes or so later, Zhang Fei also brought people back, and he visited the [-] miles upstream, but found no dam repairs.The key point is that the tributary of Zhangshui passes all the way, the terrain is very stable, there is no obvious drop, and naturally there is no place suitable for building dams.
When Zhang Fei reported this, Liu Tao was actually a little relieved, saying that there is no need to be so cautious, but sometimes there is a little "uncertainty". For perfectionism and obsessive-compulsive disorder, the most annoying thing is this kind of "no Certainty'.
It's all right now, the last uncertainty is gone, so my heart is naturally at ease.
"General, the officers and soldiers on the opposite side seem to be planning to rest..." At this moment, on the other side of the river, the patrolling soldiers saw that the officers and soldiers had begun to set up their camps and did not intend to cross the river, so they went back to report to the officer.
"Sleep directly, or camp normally?" The thief general frowned when he heard the words, and asked immediately.
"I can't see clearly, the line of sight is blocked by the cart, but there are still many soldiers patrolling outside..." The bandit soldier was taken aback for a moment, and then fell asleep unconfidently.
"See it clearly and then tell me!" The thief general was upset when he heard the words, kicked him flying, and said cursingly.The situation of the enemy army determines how he will deal with it, but he can't be careless.
It's only half past noon now, and an impatient general might have ordered to cross the river directly.This river is just a tributary of the Zhangshui River. The water is neither fast nor deep, and a simple pontoon bridge can quickly come across it.A prudent general may start crossing the river the next day to ensure the strength of the soldiers.There are even some cunning generals who choose to cross the river overnight and launch a surprise attack.
The thief will be most worried about the last situation.If the previous two situations were changed, it is completely possible to be on guard in advance, and then counterattack, making sure that the opponent cannot cross the river safely.
"Let the people below prepare grease. If necessary, we may prepare to burn the pontoon bridge tonight!" The thief general thought for a while, and finally ordered.
Since the failure of "half crossing and attacking" before, Zhang Bao asked him to come here to be responsible for the defense of Xia Quyang's periphery.But this time it was an order: no matter what, the enemy is not allowed to cross the river.
The subtext is: either the officers and soldiers did not cross the river, or the officers and soldiers stepped over your corpse.
Obviously, Zhang Bao was still very angry at the result of the last tentative attack. If Yan Zheng, Zhang Bao's most trusted lieutenant, hadn't come forward to intercede, he might have been punished.
"We have [-] soldiers and [-] crossbowmen. I want to see how you will cross the river!" The thief general walked out of the tent, looked at the officers and soldiers camp on the other side of the river, and said with clenched fists.
Not only crossing the river, but also approaching Xiaquyang from the west and south, he can't get around this pass!
On the other side, after receiving the order, the Huotou army began to bury the pot to make rice in advance, but before that, boil the water first, then take out a small bag of brown powder, pour it into the pot to mix, and then gave each soldier a bowl .
"I'm going to drink this again..." The soldiers were already used to drinking this thing every three days. They were not used to it the first time, but gradually got used to it after the second time.
"The officer said that only by drinking this regularly can you avoid night blindness. Besides, isn't this stuff delicious?" The gang leaders retorted directly after hearing the words.
"Not to mention, even if there is no bonfire at night, I can see the surrounding situation clearly. It's really amazing." The latter smiled and took it up to drink.
This is the liver marinated in ginger wine, smashed after removing the fishy smell, then put into a tripod, stir-fried, and then further ground into powder.Simply put, it is liver powder.It may be chicken liver, it may be sheep or pig liver, anyway, drink this thing once every three days, not only to supplement iron, but the key is to supplement vitamin A to avoid night blindness.
Thanks to this era, the water is basically a worthless thing, otherwise it really wouldn't be possible to get so many livers.It seems that there are other things that can supplement vitamin A, but Liu Tao only knows about the liver.
The key point is that he is also quite superstitious about this stuff. He has often eaten it since he was a child, and when he grows up, he looks at the computer and mobile phone every day, but he is not short-sighted.Later, it was discovered that the liver is rich in vitamin A, which is helpful for eyesight, so I will eat some if I have the conditions.
After time travel, if possible, I would buy some and cook them myself.After a year, I don't know if it's an illusion, but my eyes have become much clearer and more agile.After the establishment of the army, in order to treat the night blindness of the soldiers, they also produced liver powder, and regularly supplemented the soldiers with vitamin A. Thanks to Zhang Fei's family being a butcher, there is no shortage of this thing.
"Sir, I've always been amazing..." The soldier next to me suddenly said, "After the battle yesterday, I realized that there was an extra hard layer of skin on my skin that couldn't be cut with a knife, but it disappeared automatically after an hour. "
"In that case..." It was inevitable that someone else would share their discoveries. After a long time, even if Liu Tao didn't say a lot of things, the soldiers below would have vaguely guessed some of them.
"Sure enough, paper can't wrap fire..." When it finally reached Liu Tao, he was not surprised, after all, he had expected it.
Chapter 107 Public Opinion Guidance
Anyone, in two or three months, goes through one battle after another.I found that my skin was abnormal, I found that my marching speed suddenly increased one day, I found that as long as I still have a breath, I can survive on the battlefield, and I can recover on the second day, at most the third day...
Generally speaking, unless it is a person who is so dull that he has no brains, he may not be aware of it.Of course, it is also possible, for example, to have faith in the first place, and to attribute all this to the gods one believes in.
Taoism and Buddhism are not even mentioned, after all, these years have not yet been perfected, but the ancestor belief itself has always existed, such as Taiyi and Haotian, such as the Three Emperors and Five Emperors... Speaking of it, the ghost way that led to the emergence of heaven and the underworld, its contemporary heaven Teacher, it should be Zhang Lu's father... just what is it called, Liu Tao can't remember.
However, he didn't think that the Five Dou Rice Sect could spread to areas where the Taiping Sect was active.
As long as the soldiers are smart, they will naturally understand that there is something magical about this army.If you pay more attention, you may find that everything is directly related to Liu Tao.
Even if you don't discover it now, you will definitely discover it in the future. Whether it's weird or miraculous, it means abnormal.It is difficult for people to prove normality, but it is too easy to find abnormality.
"Do you want to announce it to the soldiers?" In fact, Lu Yan felt very early on that it was impossible to keep this matter hidden. Sooner or later, it was estimated that it would be made public.
"It's meaningless to make it public. It's as if Zhang Jiao and I are preaching here." Liu Tao shook his head. There were some things he couldn't do, and there was a lot of trouble. God knows if the Luoyang guy would be nervous.
"The soldiers have already noticed that it is abnormal, and it is not good to continue to suppress it." Lu Yan reminded.
"I didn't plan to suppress it, I just said that it can't be publicized." Liu Tao smiled, and then called the commander of the soldiers over, "According to the plan I explained!"
"Here!" The commander of the soldiers nodded, and then went down to make arrangements.These soldiers, except for Yang She, are all children of the Liu family in Zhuo County, or at least cousins.It can be said that, except for the three foster brothers, they are the closest part of the people.
Even when necessary, they are more trustworthy than the three righteous brothers.
"Brother..." Lu Yan obviously didn't know Liu Tao's arrangement.
"Some things, the less people know, the better." Liu Tao smiled mysteriously, "Actually, it's nothing, just let them spread some rumors, more mysterious things, with a little rhythm. It's just that these words are not easy to say through my mouth. "
Lu Yan nodded, he seemed to realize something, so he expressed his understanding.
In the following time, more than 50 soldiers began to wander around the barracks, chatting with people from time to time. Each of them had different things to say, and these were drafts prepared by Liu Tao in advance.
"You said that the army is weird? What is weird? That's magical!" One of the soldiers of the Liu family retorted directly after hearing what others said, "You may not know, but my father said that when the clan brother was born, , colorful auspicious clouds appeared in the sky, and there were vaguely mysterious musical notes playing. Some old people said that the incarnation of the gods in the sky was born in the world..."
"My parents said that it was originally a cloudy day. When my younger brother was born, the sky suddenly cleared up. There was a faint giant dragon flashing through the clouds. Many people have seen it..." Another corner , one of the soldiers also said that.
Some people say that Liu Tao was born supernatural and intelligent since he was a child. He even swore that he could go to Zhuo County to investigate if he didn’t believe it. into gold; some people even said that Liu Tao is a person protected by God, wherever he is, there are gods to follow him, he is invulnerable to swords and guns, he can be reborn by cutting his head, he can make all things grow with one breath, and one look can make people hundreds of meters away. die outside...
When the rumors became more and more exaggerated, Liu Tao personally refuted the rumors, saying that he is just a mortal and has nothing magical about him.At the same time, Lu Yan came forward and said that rumors cannot be spread in the army, otherwise, they will be dealt with by military law.
It happened to be a bit exaggerated, and even intentional. Not only did it not play a deterrent role, the soldiers did not say it publicly, but privately believed that it was true. It was just that the above officers were trying to cover it up.
After all, those relatives of Liu Tao have said that, so could it be false?
"Human nature is like this sometimes..." After returning to the camp, Liu Tao looked outside, "Just admit that there will be all kinds of troubles, and even the soldiers below will take the favor they have received as a matter of course."
"I don't say it at this time, but it can create such public opinion to guide the soldiers' remarks. In the end, they directly deny it. Even if the other party thinks that we are trying to cover up, they can't figure out our thoughts and maintain the mystery of my brother." Lu Yan also said. I understand.
Just because it is unpredictable, it can be taken for granted that there is favor, and it can be taken for granted that there is no favor.Among other things, at least it can put an end to the dependence of the soldiers below on Liu Tao.
Soldiers who are not afraid of death are good, but if people are not afraid of death, sometimes they will deliberately die.He doesn't have the ability to bring the dead back to life. A group of soldiers who think they won't die and die like crazy will also cause headaches.
"If you want to talk about guiding public opinion, isn't that what the aristocratic family is best at?" Liu Tao shook his head, "Canshan, if you also become an official, you can become an official in the court in the future, and the Lu family in Zhuojun will gradually become an official. Shizu, this is what you need to learn too."
"Foolish brother, be taught!" Lu Yan solemnly bowed to Liu Tao upon hearing this.The Lu family only started in Lu Zhi's generation, and many things can only be said to be in the groping stage.At least those old families would naturally not teach these things to Lu Zhi and him.It's just that he couldn't figure it out, at least three generations of Liu Tao's family hadn't been officials, so why would they know this?
