General Qin

Li You was very angry, and between gnashing his teeth, his lips were bleeding.

In addition to anger, he also felt uncomfortable, sad and a little wronged.

God is pitiful, ever since Li You went south and served as a military marshal in this "Southern Army" of the Qin State, he has truly "loved soldiers like a son".

Li You operated in full accordance with what Sunzi Wu said, "Treat pawns like babies, treat pawns like beloved sons", and took a lot of thought to treat all 5,000 Chu people in Nanjun under his command as infants and beloved sons.

As soon as he entered the camp, Li You couldn't wait to start to win the "military spirit" according to the plan he had set in Xianyang.

The first step is naturally to use one's own power to feast on the soldiers, kill cattle and goats to reward the sergeants, and let the subordinates eat and drink well.

Before the soldiers set out to fight, they feasted and ate and drank for three consecutive days, which made the quartermaster in charge of logistics complain endlessly, and immediately turned around and reported to the school lieutenant above.

The school lieutenant knew Li You's background and didn't want to offend Tingwei Li Si, so he called Li You into the tent and told him about his own difficulties, how his colleagues and subordinates criticized him, how the military supplies were in short supply, and so on.

"The subordinate officials know it, and will never commit another crime."

Li You agreed with a smile on his face.

Then as soon as they left the tent, there were trusted soldiers quietly preaching in the barracks.

In order to let the second and third sons eat and drink well, Li Junhou was scolded and reprimanded by his superiors, and suffered a lot of grievances.

From now on, we can no longer let everyone eat minced meat and drink broth every day like before.

But Li Junhou will not ignore the diet of the second and third sons. Whenever there is an opportunity in the future, he will give the second and third sons extra meals!

Sure enough, all the five thousand Nanjun soldiers were grateful to Li You.

Li Junhou, good man.

In order to let the big guy drink the broth, he was scolded and insulted. He is really a rare general who loves soldiers.

In just a few days, Li You established a solid foundation in the camp and won the love of his soldiers, and he couldn't help feeling proud.

"not enough!"

On the day of departure, Li You carefully inspected the camp again.

After turning around, he pointed to the broken shoes on the feet of a few poor soldiers, and said to the left and right: "My subordinates, Li You, are like my children. How can parents let their children travel hundreds of miles in worn-out shoes? It’s not okay to go to the war here! I, Li You, should pay for a pair of shoes for each of the two or three people!”

"The great virtue of the military marshal is unique throughout the ages."

"Li Junhou loves soldiers like he loves his son!"

The confidants immediately cheered and shouted, and the soldiers were also very moved, and their favor for Li Junhou increased greatly.

"Not enough, this is not enough!"

Li Youxin has great ambitions and decides to carry out his love for soldiers to the end.

On the march to Shangcai, he imitated what Wu Qi had done in the past, walking with the lowest soldiers, lying down without a seat, riding without riding, wrapping up food with his own hands, and sharing the labor with the soldiers.

After working for two days, Li You felt sore and sore all over his body. Every night, he had to call his cronies to enter the account, and massage him to relieve his fatigue.

But looking at the admiring eyes of his soldiers, Li You felt that everything was worth it.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the military judge to dissuade Li You in public with military law on the grounds of "nobility and inferiority", so that Li Junhou could only sit in the car with "regret".

This "Southern Army" of the Qin State rushed to the Qin-Chu border after a long journey, and under the command of Deputy General Yang Duanhe, stationed on the line of Shangcai Rushui to confront the Chu army.

After the Qin army was stationed, Li You still cared about the food and clothing of the soldiers every time he toured the camp, and solved many problems for the soldiers with his thoughts.

For example, during the last camp tour, he saw two brothers among the soldiers wearing thick clothes in the scorching summer, their heads covered with sweat.

After inquiring, I found out that the two brothers were from Anlu County, Nanjun County. They were too shy to buy summer clothes, and they were about to write a letter from home to ask their mother to buy clothes and send money to come here.

"Why do you need to go home and ask your parents for money? Since you are under my command, I, Li You, will love you like children. I will buy this summer clothes for you!"

Li You kindly patted the elder brother Hei on the shoulder, and felt that this man's face was black and white, but he was quite pleasing to the eye, so he made a promise casually.

He turned his head and told his subordinates to buy a piece of summer clothes for each soldier in the army to show his love for soldiers.

Amidst the applause full of praise, Li You was not satisfied.

"It's not enough, it's almost there!"

"I want them to love me and make them willing to die for me!"

"In the past, Wu Qi served as a general, and when the soldiers had gangrene, he started to suck them. That's why the soldiers and soldiers fought without hesitation."

Li You hesitated a little at first, but when he thought of the humiliation he had suffered in Xianyang, he thought of Zhao Tuo's flamboyant appearance.

He couldn't help but clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "What you Zhao Tuo can't do, I, Li You, can do."

"I am stronger than you!"

On that day, Li You personally walked into the tent of the sick man in the camp.

When the soldiers heard this, they were inexplicably shocked, and they all said how heroic Li Junhou's act of loving soldiers was.

It's just that amidst the praises of the camp, there is still a gossip quietly circulating.

"A military marquis loves hemorrhoids."

No matter what, Li You finally put the military training methods he had learned into practice, and the five thousand soldiers under his command loved and admired him endlessly, saying everywhere, "Li Junhou loves soldiers like he loves his son."

Li You is very proud, and sometimes even compares himself with the famous general Wu Qi who loves soldiers like a son.

From time to time, he fantasized about the scene where he led these five thousand soldiers to slaughter all directions and shake the world.

I, Li You, will make Zhao Tuo bow his head, marry the princess, and King Qin will love her.

Just when Li Youman was full of ambition and excitement.

Who in the barracks first knew about Li You's performance in the battle against Chu last year and his reputation in Xianyang City, and the name "Li Paopao" quietly spread throughout the army.

"There must be some people in the army who are jealous of me and deliberately ruin my reputation!"

Li You was very angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, most of the top generals in the Qin army knew about his past achievements. It was normal for some people to be jealous of him and reveal it quietly.

Thinking of the changes in the eyes of the soldiers when he was patrolling the camp for the past two days, and the slander and slander hidden in the dark.

Li You was angry.

He thought of the last sentence in the Art of War, "I regard a soldier as a baby, so I can go to Shenxi with him; I treat a soldier like a beloved son, so I can die with him".

"Thickness cannot be manipulated, love cannot be commanded, chaos cannot be cured, like a proud son, it cannot be used."

"It seems that I spoiled you too much."

With a cold light in Li You's eyes, he recruited his cronies and growled, "Anyone in the army who dares to insult his superiors will be dealt with according to military law. Among the ranks, those who do not report what they know will be punished with company."

The next day, several soldiers who secretly made fun of "Li Paopao" were denounced by Shiwu Paoze, and their heads hung above the gate.

The whole battalion fell silent, and the soldiers did not dare to speak, but looked at each other.

Only then did Li You feel satisfied.

He stood on the general platform of the school field, looking at the neat five thousand soldiers standing below.

To caress it, to deter it.

Li You has now made these five thousand people love and fear him, respect and obey him.

In this way, the military spirit can be used.

Li You turned his head and looked towards the northeast chasm.

His gaze seemed to be able to see the young general beside the chasm through the gate of the camp and through the fields.

"Zhao Tuo, I, Li You, will never be inferior to you in this battle to destroy Chu."

"I've become stronger!"

"I also want to fight a backwater battle that belongs to me!"

Li You murmured, telling his dream.

...

Just when the Qin and Chu armies were confronting each other at the border.

The distant capital of Qi State.

In the main hall of the Qi Palace, the new Prime Minister Tian Jia shook his gray beard and said to the old man on the king's bed: "My lord, Qin and Chu are now facing each other at the border, with hundreds of thousands of troops gathered, and neither side dares to act rashly. Come, the actions of our country of Qi can decide the situation of the world!"

Speaking of this, Tian Jia became more and more excited and said: "As long as we send troops from Qi State, we will help Qin win for Qin, and help Chu win for Chu!"

On the king's bed, Qi Wangjian, who was in his fifties, took a look at his younger brother's saliva, and said calmly, "So, you want me to send troops to help Chu?"

Tian Jia nodded and said: "Of course, as the Chu State Songyang Lord said just now, if the Chu State is destroyed by the Qin people, then there will only be Qi and Qin in the world. , since the five kingdoms have already been destroyed, how can you let me go?"

"So this battle between Qin and Chu is not only a battle to decide the survival of the state of Chu, but also the fate of our country of Qi. I also hope that the king can send troops to attack Qin and save my country of Qi. It is also the heart of saving the people of the world."

Qi Wangjian sneered and said, "Even if I send troops to attack Qin, what will happen if Chu is defeated in the end?"

"Once the state of Chu falls, the king of Qin will turn his anger on the widows, and then the state of Qi will be the real disaster. On the other hand, as long as we, the state of Qi, don't participate, the king of Qin will definitely not do anything to me."

"At that time, the world will be divided into two, with Emperor Qin in the west and King Qi in the east. Wouldn't it be beautiful?"
