Chapter 48 Affinity

Several soldiers waiting for the order looked at each other and looked at Liu Feng at the same time.

'So it's just an old trick of emergency gathering.'

Liu Feng finally figured out Ma's intention and felt a little boring, but in order not to sweep Ma's positive surname, he stared and shouted, "Military Sima ordered you to beat the drums. Are you deaf?"

Liu Feng was powerful, and the soldiers did not dare to delay any more. They quickly raised their arms, picked up the mallet, and beat the seven-sided cowhide drums desperately.

The night was like a mirror. The silence was shattered in an instant, and the rumble of drums echoed everywhere. Liu Feng's ears, who was close to him, were faintly painful.

The soldiers who were still sleeping were immediately awakened by the sound of drums. The tents of each battalion were noisy everywhere. One by one, they were sleepy. They hurriedly dressed and armored, looked for weapons, and ran out of the tent.

According to the "Step War Order", when they go to bed at night, when the soldiers hear the first drum, they should immediately get up and wear armor. After the second drum, they must go out of the account and point to the flag to the assembly. At the end of the three drums, they have to complete the assembly.

In the center of the platform, there is a long pole several feet high and a burning fire in the four corners of the iron basin, which clearly illuminates the huge flag hanging on the top of the pole. According to military law, this is the direction of the gathering of soldiers.

In a blink of an eye, the third drum sounded. Liu Feng stood under the platform and stared coldly. Only less than 50 people rushed to the assembly place. The rest of the people who were a little slower had already paid the account and were running this way. The slow ones either touched the clothes in the tent, or even the weapons had not been found anywhere.

Liu Feng shook his head slightly, with a little disappointment on his face: "I can't even gather on time. When it comes to the battlefield, the military order is changing rapidly. I'm afraid they can't keep up. It seems that they want to train them into elite soldiers, and there is still a long way to go."

Ma's expression was not too ugly: "The eldest son is right, but according to the subordinates, their reaction ability is not too far from what I expected. Moreover, the content of our training tonight is not just to practice their reaction ability.

Liu Feng only thought that he wanted to train for an emergency gathering, but after listening to what he said at this time, it seemed that there was another intention, and Liu Feng suddenly became interested again.

Between words, there are three drums.

Liu Feng swept it roughly. Only more than 130 people came to gather on time, and there were still 70 or 80 people still running here.

At this time, Ma Zhen hurriedly shouted, "All those who didn't arrive on time should stop and stand on that side. The two groups of people are not allowed to mix together."

Suddenly, Liu Feng saw Ma's intention.

The so-called military law is like a mountain. He deliberately distinguishes the late soldiers. Most of them want to punish these soldiers who failed to arrive as ordered, establish military prestige through punishment, and instill the idea of strict military discipline in these scattered soldiers.

After understanding this, the little expectation in Liu Feng's heart disappeared again. Liu Feng will naturally do Ma Jian's move, and it doesn't seem to be new. If he just relies on this means to train a fine soldier, Liu Jue's expectation for Ma Jian is probably a little high.

"Son, please give orders next."

Ma Yan is really smart. When he showed off his power, he stabbed himself. Now he plans to punish people, so he gives up the position of singing black face to him.

Liu Feng was a little unhappy, but he didn't show it. He reluctantly squeezed out a smile at the corners of his mouth: "In your opinion, how can I punish those who are unqualified?"

"I don't seem to have said that I would punish them." Ma Gan is a little inexplicable.

Liu Feng was a little confused and doubted, "They didn't gather in the three-way drum in accordance with the military order. Obviously, they violated the military order. Can't they be rewarded if they are not punished?"

Ma Yan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled, "That's exactly what I mean."

"I heard it correctly. You want me to reward them!" Liu's cover was shocked.

Ma Yu coughed a few times: "The eldest prince may have misunderstood. The subordinate means to let the eldest prince reward those who have assembled on time."

Ma Zhen's words were really beyond Liu Feng's expectation. It was difficult for him to understand this strange practice for a moment. As the saying goes, the military order is like a mountain, and it is their duty for soldiers to act according to the order. It is their duty and why do they need rewards?

If according to Ma Yu's thinking, the soldiers can get rewards just by obeying the military order. If you want to drive them to kill the enemy on the battlefield, don't you need an astronomical reward? Throughout the ages, how can there be such a rule?

"Ma Junsi, are you sure you know what you are doing?" Liu Feng did not do it without hesitation this time. He is not as easy to fool as Liu Qi. To do anything, he must conform to the logic of his life, which is the principle of his behavior.

Ma Yan's expression was quite calm. In the face of Liu Feng's questioning, he just said lightly, "Sir, these soldiers were originally soldiers of Mr. Zide. Although they have now nominally become your part, it is far from enough to let them be willing to work for you. It is far from rely on strict military law."

After listening to this, Liu Feng's mind suddenly came to the scene of the mutat in the northern battalion.

I still remember that at that time, in the chaotic situation of the North Camp, Liu Feng decisively killed and stood up. At that time, Liu Qi complained that he should not have killed the suspicious soldier without trial.

At that time, a sentence in "Sunson" instinct came to Liu Feng's mind: If the pawn is not punished, he will not accept it, and if he does not accept it, it will be difficult to use; if the pawn has been attached to him and can't be punished, it will not be used.

Liu Qi's soldiers have been attached to them, which is why they should be restrained by strict military law. At that time, Liu Feng's practice was in line with the latter sentence, "If the pawn has been attached and can't be punished, it can't be used", so now, isn't Ma's practice...

"If you don't kiss and punish it, you won't accept it. If you don't accept it, it's difficult to use it." Liu Feng, who suddenly realized, blurted out.

A trace of surprise flashed in Ma's eyes. What surprised him was not that Liu Feng could understand his painstaking, but that the eldest prince in front of him could prove what he had did with the law in "Sun Tzu", which was quite difficult for a young man who was only 16 years old.

"It seems that the eldest son also has a deep study of the art of war. Since the eldest son has understood the intention of his subordinates, I will not say anything."

If Liu Feng still maintained a "doubt" attitude towards Ma Yu's ability before, now, Liu Feng really knows this young man who is not a few years older than himself, and there are several brushes in his hand.

Thinking about the intention, his heart suddenly became transparent. Liu Feng laughed and immediately announced that for those soldiers who gathered on time, they would add meat for lunch tomorrow.

With this reward, there was a thunderous sound under the stage. The group of soldiers who completed the assembly on time were naturally happy. The other group of unqualified people, although the worry of punishment can be temporarily put down, but if you want to think that others will eat meat tomorrow, you can only drool. Naturally, you are a little depressed, thinking that you should have known that there is a reward. At that time, when you hear the drums, you should be quick. Why? Procrastinating.

Looking at the soldiers with joy under the stage, Liu Feng suddenly realized that there were loopholes in Ma's plan to make the soldiers follow him.
