    "General Ran, your question is actually very easy to answer. Now I will tell you what the basis is. But first, let me ask you whether you noticed that when you looked at the moat just now, the water in the moat became less.  Apart from that, what else is going on?"

    "Abnormal, are there any other abnormalities? No more. I looked carefully just now and found no other abnormalities except that the river water became a little less. By the way, the river water just now seemed a little turbid than usual.  But what does that mean?¡±

    After Zhang Yang asked the question again, Ran Hongzhi immediately answered.

    "Yes, apart from the fact that there is less water in the river, only the water in the river has become much turbid than before.

    I am also very surprised about this. The water in this moat was always clear in the past, but after dawn this morning, not long after, the water in the entire moat began to become turbid. It is still so turbid now!  "

    As expected, he was indeed Ran Hongzhi¡¯s secretary. After Ran Hongzhi finished speaking, Nie Liao immediately helped Ran Hongzhi and added.

    "The others, Kong He, Si Kou Zheng, Bao Xing, Yue Zheng Junxiong, Zhou Yongsi and others, after listening to Ran Hongzhi and Nie Liao's words, looked at Zhang Yang again, looking at Zhang Yang with your knowledge-seeking eyes, full of questions on their faces.

    "The basis for me is the turbid river water. Because the water in the moat is now extremely turbid, and the water in the moat has obvious signs of becoming smaller, I am sure that the Turks went to the water inlet of the moat and blocked the moat.

    Because our moat in Xiaoguan has been washed by the Jingshui River for so many years, it is said that there is no source of mud that makes the river water turbid.  So the moat has always been relatively clear.

    But today the river water suddenly became turbid, which proved that when the river water flowed into the moat, it carried a lot of soil.  It becomes so turbid, and there is no source of soil anymore, so where did this soil come from!

    That can only be what people think.  Some people think that dumping soil into the moat will make the water in the entire moat turbid. This is not something that a little soil can pollute. Now the only people outside the pass who can complete this matter are the Turkic army.

    The Turkic army will definitely not have time to pour mud into the river, so it can only be carrying water!

    This is my basis. Well, that¡¯s it for today. Everyone, recharge your batteries, you¡¯ll be busy starting tomorrow!  "

    "Good morning, Captain Zhang!"

    "Good morning, Captain Zhang!"

    "Good morning, Captain Zhang!"

    The next morning.  After getting up early in the morning, Zhang Yang walked on the city wall of Xiaoguan again after washing and eating. He heard waves of greetings from the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were stationed on the city wall of Xiaoguan.

    "Hello everyone, everyone is sorry, have you used the early morning meal today? I'm going to trouble you all these days!"

    "Everyone respects me as much as I respect others. This has always been Zhang Yang's principle in life. After these soldiers expressed their goodwill, Zhang Yang also showed his goodwill in return.  Human beings are all social animals and complement each other.

    As the saying goes, there is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason.

    Whether it¡¯s love at first sight, dislike of you, or bad tempers, there are all human factors involved in this happening.

    Love, hate, hatred, whether it is you or him, there must be a reason for these emotions to arise, and even fools are no exception.

    Therefore, if you want your subordinates to love you, you must not only convince them, but you must also show them that you care for them. Otherwise, your one-sided dedication will not last long, and may even develop into love for others.  Hate, this is not impossible.

    Therefore, Zhang Yang has always had a stronghold in his heart. When he needs to show his majesty, he will show his majestic side. When he feels that it is necessary to show his people-friendly side, he has to show his people-friendly side.

    The standard for measuring the degree of this display is the steelyard in his heart. The plus and minus weights are all in his heart.

    The group of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in front of them were stationed on Xiaoguan early in the morning in the late autumn, patrolling. Although this is their profession and they should do this, people must have professional ethics, but professional ethics is a  The thing is, as a leader, can't you show an amiable gesture at this time to shorten the distance between the two parties and make them feel the warmth in their hearts?

    After all, the military industry is a very risky industry, especially in the ancient era of cold weapon warfare. The risks of being a soldier in this era are even greater than when Zhang Yang traveled through the peaceful and prosperous era of the hot weapon era.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?War in the Iron Age was all about hand-to-hand combat between people. In this era, there were not as many protective measures as in later generations. Once a war started, it would have to be a life-and-death fight to end it. As a result, the mortality rate was naturally the highest.  Too high.

    Especially for soldiers in troubled times, due to the constant wars between warlords, the death toll has increased several times compared with usual times.

    Since the mortality rate of soldiers during this period reached an alarming rate, there were not so many trained soldiers for this kind of thing. Therefore, many of the soldiers during this period were captured from various places to make up the numbers.  Indirectly, the generals on both sides did not pay too much attention to the lives of the soldiers in their hands. As a result, many soldiers without adequate training died in the first battle of their lives and lost their short lives. This is the same.  This creates a vicious cycle.

    When a soldier dies, he captures a strong man, and when he catches a strong man, he immediately sends him to the battlefield to fight. Then he dies again, and then he captures a strong man. Finally, until someone dominates the country, it is a vicious cycle that repeats itself, causing many strong men to die on the battlefield.

    In addition, many soldiers were young men who were suddenly captured. They went to the battlefield without any military training, and then survived by luck. Then they slowly learned how to save their lives and kill enemies by killing enemies on the battlefield.

    Such soldiers have no military discipline at all, and many generals will not interfere too much with the military discipline of their subordinates during this period for the sake of morale.  As long as you don't rebel, it will cause many people to die. This is why.  After the collapse of every dynasty in China, there will be a period of chaos. After this period of chaos, there will be a period of chaos.  The population must have dropped several times.

    Therefore, there has been a saying in China since ancient times that it is better to be a dog in the prosperous times than to be a person in the troubled times. What it means is that in troubled times, the value of human life is not as valuable as the life of a dog in the prosperous times.

    Fortunately, due to the fact that the Tang Dynasty was founded many years ago and Li Yuan and Li Shimin are both good at running the army, the military discipline of the Tang army is still quite good, at least not disturbing the people.  Now no one dares to come out and do it openly.

    "In addition, most of Xiao Guan's troops are veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. If they can survive, their military discipline is naturally not mentioned.

    Therefore, Zhang Yang still respects these veterans very much. Those who can survive in a hundred battles all have unique skills. At the same time, they are cautious and cautious people, but they are also careless people.  You can't live for so many years on the battlefield.

    They can naturally tell who treats them well and who treats them badly, who is sincere and who is just showing off.

    So these soldiers looked at Zhang Yang¡¯s sincere smile at this time.  Saying hello and expressing concern also show their sincerity.

    "Captain Zhang, thank you for caring about us big-headed soldiers. Breakfast, haha, none of the brothers Captain Zhang have breakfast."

    "How can that be done? The time of the day is in the morning. Breakfast is the first meal of the day. How can we ensure our physical strength and mental energy every morning? You must know that this is during the war. If you don't eat breakfast,  , and encounter continuous attacks from the enemy, wouldn't it be easy to accelerate the consumption of physical strength during the battle, causing you to be exhausted earlier than the enemy? Isn't this a joke with your own lives and Xiao Guan's safety? What's going on?  Okay, who allows you to skip breakfast? You are all veterans, how can you do this!"

    Zhang Yang saw the soldiers who were opening their mouths to quibble, but he didn't give them a chance to quibble, and said:

    "Besides, even if it's not during the war, you can't skip breakfast. But you can easily get stomach problems, which are not very comfortable. But I think you won't skip breakfast in normal times.  meal.

    "Otherwise, if you eat two meals a day on weekdays, if you skip one breakfast, you will definitely not be able to wait until dinner time, and you will be too hungry to move.

    It seems that due to the war, the three meals a day have been changed recently, and the lunch and dinner have large pieces of horse meat, which makes you look down on the meat porridge cooked for breakfast. In this case, then I will  Go tell General Ran and General Qin that you can continue to have two meals a day!  "

    "No! Captain Zhang, you can't do this. You must not tell General Ran and General Qin to cancel our lunch. If the other brothers find out, they will want to skin us and eat them."  Our meat, how do you want us to survive?

    This is a newly changed benefit that has made brothers unhappy for a few days. Captain Zhang, aren't you creating Mao Dun for us?

    Captain Zhang, I was wrong. I was just joking. We have already had breakfast, so please spare us!  "

    The soldier who answered Zhang Yang just now, when he heard that Zhang Yang wanted to kill him because of his joke,The standard of living that we had finally improved, with three meals a day, each meal marked with meat, was changed back to the previous two meals a day. This frightened him so much that he quickly begged Zhang Yang and admitted his mistake.

    "Really? Didn't you just say that you didn't have breakfast? Now why do you have breakfast again? It's not good to lie like this."

    At this time, the veterans who were watching the fun just now realized that the situation had changed and exceeded their expectations. Zhang Yang took the joke seriously and did not trust the explanation of the person who had just joked. After that, he immediately came over to persuade him.  :

    "Liu Si, you are such an itchy dog. I knew that something would happen sooner or later with your broken mouth. Now that something has happened, now you know how powerful you are.

    I've told you a long time ago, keep your mouth shut and don't bark when nothing happens. If you don't believe it, you may have caused trouble now. See how it ends now. Are you allowed to open your mouth and say the words you just said?  , was it possible to joke at that time?  "

    "That's right, Boss Ma is right. Liu Si's bad mouth is a scourge. Not only Boss Ma, but also I have warned you Liu Si more than once, telling you to take care of your bad mouth, otherwise sooner or later it will happen.  Put it on it and smash it to pieces.

    I told you before that you still couldn¡¯t listen, and you said you wouldn¡¯t let us take care of it.  Regardless of our business, now, something will happen now!

    It¡¯s none of my business now.  This has caused trouble to all of us. Let¡¯s see if you still dare to open your mouth and say no!  "

    After others realized that the situation had become serious, they followed Boss Ma and began to criticize Liu Si.

    And Zhang Yang¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change at all while watching their performance.  He just watched them quietly there, intending to see what they were going to do and what method they were going to use to get his life back. Now it was time for him to watch the excitement.

    As an artistic young man from later generations, Zhang Yang is also an artistic young man who has done quite well. He has learned quite well about things like acting, otherwise he would not have gained such a reputation.  I made so many female friends.

    So as early as when Liu Si opened his mouth to answer, Zhang Yang saw from the corner of Liu Si's eyes that he was smiling unconsciously, and then after Liu Si opened his mouth, he added Liu Si's joking words to  When it comes true, it becomes even more serious.

    The purpose is to take a look.  How are these people going to disrupt this wave of his offensive? Let's see if the relationship between their comrades is like the legend, where the love between the two is as close as brothers.  Able to block the knife for him.

    That¡¯s why after they started performing, I watched them perform there indifferently.

    And after they discovered that Zhang Yang was indifferent, Liu Si once again admitted his mistake to Zhang Yang.

    "Captain Zhang, I, Liu Si, really just wanted to have fun with you. I had no other intention. Besides, we really had breakfast. Now the army has finally opened up and supplied us with meat porridge and food. How could we not?"  What about breakfast?

    This is simply impossible, so I was joking just now. Captain Zhang, just think that I was farting just now, and you can take your life back!  "

    After finishing speaking, Liu Si quietly raised his head again and looked at Zhang Yang. He found that his expression had not changed at all and was still the same as before. He was so frightened that he sat down on the stone paved on the wall of Xiaoguan City.  Go up.

    Several other soldiers, after discovering that Zhang Yang was still expressionless, continued to talk to Liu Si and Zhang Yang.

    "Now you know how powerful it is, Liu Si, on weekdays, I ask your child to think about A Ding's studies when he has nothing to do, but you don't listen and just talk about it.

    You must have suffered a lot now. Let¡¯s see if you still dare to talk nonsense all the time in the future!  "

    "Boss Ma, I was wrong. I won't dare to be here anymore. Please help me beg Captain Zhang. I will never talk nonsense again."

    From now on, I will definitely listen to your teachings, study hard with A Ding, and stop doing stupid things like this!  "

    Just like a person who fell into the water and found a life-saving straw, Liu Si grabbed it tightly after hearing Boss Ma speak. Boss Ma asked him to plead for Zhang Yang on his behalf, and  A very sincere promise to reform.

    "Captain Zhang, you see that Liu Si has admitted his mistake, so you just let him go with your noble hand. He just said what he said carelessly. You must not take it seriously. Liu Si and I have been together for many years.  Yes, this kid likes to talk nonsense on weekdays, no matter how big or small, but he is really not disgusting. I can still guarantee this.

    "Also, Liu Si didn't actually say anything wrong just now. We are all rough people, and we are not as literary as you said. Breakfast, breakfast, we call it breakfast, and what we eat for breakfast isEat, haha, so Captain Zhang, you don¡¯t want to be as knowledgeable as Liu Si, a rough guy, and don¡¯t mention it to General Qin and General Ran about changing back to two meals.

    ????????????????? I beg you, if I, Lao Ma, lead these brothers, if we change it back to two meals, we won¡¯t be able to get along in this mixed army.  "

    "Oh, is that really true? Did you really have breakfast?"

    After Lao Ma saw Zhang Yang¡¯s expression loosening after listening to his words, and after hearing Zhang Yang¡¯s words again, Lao Ma left and replied:

    "Captain Zhang, this is really the case. Think about it, how dare we roughnecks come to lie to you!

    You are one of the immediate bosses of this group of rough guys like us. If we people cheat you and you find out, then we will still have the good fruit to eat. With your status, you are going to cause trouble for these rough guys like us.  It's a piece of cake, so we definitely don't dare and won't lie to you. I also believe that any normal person would never go back to do this kind of self-inflicted boredom.

    We really had breakfast. This morning, before we came here to change the guard, we had two large bowls of meat porridge in the barracks, plus two large steamed buns before we arrived. The recent food is really good, the meat porridge is sticky.  I can almost insert the chopsticks without falling over.

    The big steamed buns served in the morning are each as big as a sea bowl. With a good appetite like me, I can only eat two. Most people can only eat one big steamed bun at most and only half a bowl of meat porridge will fill them up. It¡¯s been a long time.  I think they have opened up their food supply to us recently.

    Captain Zhang, if you still don't believe it, you can go to the station and ask the chef. When I went to ask for a second bowl of meat porridge this morning, the station chef said that I was too good at eating and ate it alone.  Breakfast for two is here.

    At that time, I almost got up with him. Three meals a day were provided, and the supply was enough. But Captain Zhang, you, General Qin, and General Ran personally ordered it. He is a chef, why should he care so much?

    Many brothers saw this matter at that time, Captain Zhang, just ask around and you will know!  "
