Guo Wei is a man who is good at strategy and art of war and has been in the military all his life. He can naturally see that Xu Xian's method of training new recruits is different. It is not a simple method of strengthening the body, but a certain method.

A complete set of rules.

For example, this camp is so tidy that it is almost pathologically clean. It is not just for the personal hygiene of the soldiers. It is probably to subtly cultivate the self-discipline of the soldiers, which complements the footwork they perform.

Although he has not yet figured out the reason why Xu Xian led his soldiers to "kick down the widow's door", he believes that it is by no means a separate incident that can be viewed in isolation. He knows Xu Xian's details very clearly, and these things should not be

It's what he should know.

Xu Xian didn't know why Guo Wei suddenly changed his face. In short, he couldn't tell the truth to Guo Wei, so he continued to lie calmly: "Wei Chen told your Majesty before that he read it in a book and just copied it.

It’s just the method above.”

"What about the book?"

"After my father disappeared, Wei Chen's family was in dire straits. My younger sister had to sell off the items in the house to make ends meet. At the most difficult time, it could be said that the family was completely destitute, with only two straw mats left. The book had long since disappeared."

"Just throw it away. Just remember it. I heard that you led the troops out of the camp a few days ago and kicked down the widow's door."

"How does your Majesty know this?"

Guo Wei snorted, "There is nothing I don't know about the Emperor of Bianliang, not to mention that half of the people in Bianliang City know about it."

"How come half the people in Bianliang City know this?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xu Xian felt that he was stupid for asking. A group of evil wolves suddenly changed their temper. Not only did they not eat the sheep, they also sent sheep for fodder. Such strange news spread quickly.

"Tell me what your plan is? You're not really just doing good deeds, are you?"

"Your Majesty clearly understands that the ministers are not only doing good deeds, but also a way to train soldiers."

Guo Wei waved his hand and said: "I am not that wise, and I haven't realized the secret yet. Please tell me carefully."

"You don't need to tell me that your majesty knows the reputation of soldiers. People fear soldiers like tigers and wolves. But if there is an army that can live in harmony with the people and even solve their problems, wouldn't it be supported by the people?"

Guo Wei seemed to have heard another extremely ridiculous thing, "Let the soldiers win over the people for the imperial court? Haha——, I thought you were a bit smart at first, but now I think you are completely stupid."

Even though Guo Wei was full of wit and resourcefulness, he also had historical limitations. In ancient times, the imperial court also knew how to win over people's hearts and only then had people-friendly officials. Generally speaking, it refers to local officials such as county magistrates and governors, and most of them were appointed by literati. I have never heard of it.

It is said that in which place a commander with military background is an officer who is close to the people.

In later generations, it was just the opposite. When ordinary people saw a soldier, even if they were carrying guns and cannons, they would think that they were protecting themselves; if they saw a county magistrate who yawned profusely, they would probably guess that he attended a wine party or a meeting last night.

If you have a mistress, you won't think that he is working all night.

What's more, the Five Dynasties Army has a notorious reputation and has left a deep-rooted impression on the people. Using them to win over people's hearts will only achieve twice the result with half the effort, which is stupid in everyone's eyes.

"Your Majesty is right. I also know that it is difficult to change the people's view of all soldiers. However, a white wolf sheep will be particularly conspicuous among a group of gray wolves. Therefore, I asked the soldiers to tie it on their arms when they leave the camp.

A red scarf."

Guo Wei raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then shook his head, "I'm afraid your good plan will come to nothing. No matter how dutiful people join the army for a long time, they will inevitably pick up bad habits, especially when their hands are stained with blood.

, you will feel that you are the King of Heaven, I know best that I was born as a pawn."

"That's not necessarily true. When they gain recognition from the people and have a sense of honor, they will restrain themselves..."

"I won't argue with you. If you don't believe in evil, just go around and build houses and deliver rice to people. That's what military pay and rations are. If your people have nothing to eat, don't blame me. I'm very poor too!" Guo Wei

Pointing outward, "Can this kind of training method be promoted in the Forbidden Army?"

"Weichen thinks it's better not to promote it in the Forbidden Army, in order to avoid changes in the army, which would be unsightly, but it is fine among the new recruits."

Guo Wei nodded as if he was convinced, "You continue to practice and just teach them everything you know. I'm going back to the palace to read the memorial."

"We sincerely send you to Your Majesty!"

Not far after Guo Wei left the camp, he said to Wei Renpu: "This month, the adult children of the Forbidden Army will enter the camp. The Privy Council will only select those with good conditions and recruit them to the front office of the palace. The remaining crooked melons and cracked dates will be thrown to Long Jie.

The Second Tiger Army."

Wei Renpu said: "Wei Chen understands, well, should I also be sent here for training?"

"Well..." Guo Wei was thinking about it when he suddenly heard someone behind him scolding: "What bastard touched my quilt and made me have to rearrange it...Brother Xian, why are you hitting me!"

Guo Wei chuckled softly in his mouth, "Don't send them here for the time being. They are really good at training, but no one can guarantee what they will come out in the end without going to the battlefield for testing. All the people you selected will be handed over to me."

Yihe and Chongjin, both of them, lest they all learn to scold me."

The bodyguards, horsemen and infantry were supposed to be the most powerful guarantee for the imperial power, but they were good at betraying and betraying the emperor. Li Conghou and Li Congke were far away, and Shi Chonggui and Liu Chengyou were close. Who knows if one day they would also betray Guo Wei and betray the Great Zhou Dynasty?

?

Guo Wei didn't ask Xu Xian to train on a whim. As soon as he ascended the throne, he was determined to build a more loyal army. It must be said that historical inertia is so strong that even if Xu Xian slapped his fan vigorously, it would not change much.

The unknown organization of the Dianqiansi will soon develop in the hands of Guo Wei, and then grow in the hands of Chai Rong, just like in history. I am afraid that it will also perish along the historical trajectory of the Zhou Dynasty that the father and son worked so hard to create.

After another two days of rest, Xu Xian finally gave the soldiers a holiday. Everyone dispersed happily, leaving a few homeless people to guard the camp. Xu Xian changed into casual clothes and went back to Changle Tower.

As soon as he entered the door, Jiubao shouted, "Xiaocan, please serve us a table of delicious food. I have been thinking about the sweet and sour pork ribs at home for the past twenty days, but it made me hungry... Hey, you are not Xiaocan."

?”

Xu Xian looked up and saw Zhao Ningxiu behind the counter. He asked curiously: "Why are you here?"

Zhao Ningxiu, who was keeping accounts, glanced at Xu Xian and said, "You all have left. There are not enough people in this store. I am here to help Xiaocan and earn some supplement for my family."

"I didn't realize that you still know these things, and I thought you just knew how to hit people."

"Do you still want to try?" Zhao Ningxiu said, touching a rolling pin on the counter, "I've beaten a lot of freeloaders and troublemakers in the past half month."

"I won't try it anymore, I won't try it anymore. Don't fight with others too often, so as not to hurt yourself. If you encounter someone who has no eyesight, just call him Liuhewan. Not to mention this, I haven't eaten decent food for half a month.

It’s dinner, could you please the shopkeeper to serve a table for us brothers!”

"You didn't see me keeping accounts. If you want to eat, go to the kitchen and tell Aunt Liu!" Zhao Ningxiu seemed to remember something, "By the way, someone sent you a few small jars the day before yesterday, saying that they were waiting for your reply earlier.
