Chapter 5 Building a Divine Soldier 4

When I got home, I lay on the couch and carefully recalled the conversation with Liu Prison. Morale, military prestige and other seemingly invisible things can actually be observed with the naked eye. But the situation is extremely difficult to detect. If you thought it was powerful, it was likely to be powerless; if you thought it was powerless, it was likely to be powerful. The same situation can be used by me or the enemy, just to see who can detect it first and who can take advantage of it first.

In fact, in the art of war, the situation is ubiquitous. This has also been mentioned many times in the book Sun Tzu. However, there are very few people who can really understand, grasp and even create momentum except Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Bai Qi, Xiang Yu, Han Xin and others.

The scene of Xie Yan and Liu prison breaking the enemy was repeated repeatedly in his mind. Previously, my research on that war was all about formation, and today, inspired by Liu Jaozhi, I began to try to find a momentum to defeat the morale of the enemy. Although Liu prison said again, he only tried to use the situation in that battle, but he did not use it well.

After dinner, I took out the moon knife. While recalling the knife method of fighting outside Wujun City, he combined the method and shooting method previously learned in the Jingkou camp, hoping to create a set of moves that can attack and retreat, so that this moon knife can truly become a good weapon for the leaders of the soldiers.

A relative visited my hometown the next day. I went to the camp and came back. After changing my clothes, I went out to meet my relatives and friends.

It's not from others, but my younger brother Liu Daogui. There are also two relatives who came together: Liu Huaishen and Liu Huaisu. Liu Huaisu was transferred from Jingkou to Huiji, and Liu Huaishen took the opportunity to visit his son together. Liu Daogui knew that they were going to pass through Wu County on this trip, so he followed them.

Tao rules are my half-brothers; Huai Shen and Huai Su are different from me, but after I was abandoned by my father when I was a child, I was picked up and raised by their mother. It can be said that they are like brothers.

Brothers meet and are very intimate. I took them to the restaurant in Changmen, ordered a table of local dishes as I ate with Liu Jingxuan and others that day, and ordered a pot of good wine.

The shopkeeper was very happy to see me come to dinner again and was ready to pay for me again. I was busy stopping it. He said that if the shopkeeper wants to do this, he will be embarrassed to come in the future. The shopkeeper had to give up. He asked a big man to take care of the downstairs and pulled a bench upstairs, mainly taking care of our table and other guests.

Although I haven't been home for a few months, it seems that I have been away from home for a long time. We talked about many interesting things about our relatives and neighbors, and everyone talked happily.

Liu Huaisu often follows the army, so he has some understanding of the people's conditions in various places. After finding a reason to send the shopkeeper away, I asked him about the loss of the rich industry in Wu County: "During Sun En's occupation of Wu County, the rich people in the city did not seem to have suffered losses and looted, just like this restaurant. I heard before that the materials of Sun En's thief soldiers were all helped by these rich people. I don't know if this statement is accurate?

Huaisu said, "It's not impossible to say that it's a relief, but it's not the same as ordinary relief. When Wu County was attacked by Sun En, the poor people dressed well and stood on their burdens, and could go out of the city at any time to escape the military disaster. Those rich people have a big business, and as soon as they escape, all their industries will be wiped out. It's easy for people to escape, but home can't escape. Many people looked ahead and looked back until Sun En broke the city, and none of the rich people escaped. After Sun En's soldiers broke through the city, they began to burn, kill and loot, but then they restrained. I think Sun En himself knows that fighting can't just rely on the appeal of Tianshi Dao. After all, soldiers still have to eat. By looting alone, the materials can only be managed for a while, and in the end, they still have to rely on money to buy from other places. Keeping the rich is to keep the uncontrollable treasury.

"Don't the rich really worry that Sun En will touch them?" Liu Daogui couldn't help but ask when he heard this.

"Of course there are worries. However, as far as I know," Liu Huaisu lowered his voice, "before Sun En entered the city, the rich people had already contacted Sun En. There are also rich people who have been killed and robbed when they enter the city. Those have never been 'filial piety' to Sun En. Huai Su used "filial piety" to describe bribery.

"In this way, aren't the rich people in Wujuncheng combing against the enemy?" Liu Daogui shouted.

I hit the rules with my arm and signaled him not to be so loud. I looked around, and the guests at the other two tables upstairs were talking and didn't notice what we said.

Liu Huaisu nodded and said, "They are forced to be helpless." Then he lowered his voice: "The two dictatorships, whether poor or rich, have been squeezed far more than Sun En."

The two "Huiji" mentioned here by Huaisu refer to Sima Daozi, the king of Huiji, and Sima Yuanxian, the son of Huiji.

At this time, Liu Huaishen, who had not spoken, said, "On our way from Jingkou to Wujun, we also heard many voices questioning the policy of the court. Some people even said that they would go to Huiji and Yongdong to join Sun En.

Taoist rules nodded and said, "Well, this is something we couldn't imagine when we were in Jingkou."

I don't doubt what they said, because I still know something about the people's situation in the past few months.

Liu Huaisu continued: "I think you should guess the reason why no one came out to expose their rivals, right?"

The reason is naturally self-evident, but after all, I am a soldier of the State of Jin. At present, I am ordered to assist General Liu Lao to guard Wu County. I understand such a situation and oppose it to the law. What I couldn't say was broken by Liu Daogui: "They not only bribed..." Filial piety to 'thieves' will naturally 'filial piety' officers and soldiers.

Taoist rules also learn from Huai Su, changing " bribery" to "filial piety".

"Well, that's right. Whether the thief soldiers come or the officers and soldiers come, they can protect themselves, which is one of the reasons. In addition, many of them are inextricably linked with the ministers of the dynasty. With your status as a slave and even as General Liu prison, can you easily touch them? Liu Huaisu's words hit the point. Since we recovered Wu County, although we have received many reports about the enemy, we have all been suppressed and ignored.

This kind of thing is unreasonable. If you ask, you will accidentally pull yourself into the water.

Hearing this, everyone was speechless. I stood up and poured wine for Huaisu and Huai Shen. After the rules were also poured for me, the four brothers drank a cup together.

At this time, Huai Shen took out a package and gave it to me and said, "This is what my mother asked me to bring to you." If you are alone, you should be more careful.

I took the package and asked, "Is my mother okay?" Since I was a child, I have called Huai Shen's mother "mother" rather than my aunt.

"Okay. I just miss you a little."

"Tao will go back in a few days, walk around more, and show more filial piety to my mother for me." I said to the rules.
