Ninety miles west of Menglong City, Tingchuan and the military camp were continuous for more than ten miles. The Huangzhou General Manager, who was personally visiting Nandingzhou to supervise the war, Wang Yuwen Wen of Xiyang, was "inspecting goods" with civil and military officials in the central army's tent.

There were five rows of wooden boxes on the ground, each with human heads. Although quicklime was used to keep it fresh, the smell of blood was still very strong, but this was no big deal for everyone present.

Since ancient times, officials of this era have used their heads to remember merits. However, officials of this era have served as civil and military responsibilities, have killed people and seen blood, and have also seen rolling heads, so they have no discomfort when facing the neat heads.

Yuwen Wen, dressed in military uniform, was very satisfied with the head in front of him. The five rows of wooden boxes represent the five routes of invading the enemy. In the wooden box in front, the head of his commander was of course the head of his commander.

General Zhang Ran of Kaifu led his troops to attack Dacheng Pass, and the heads were here; General Xie Xu of Kaifu led his troops to attack Baisha Pass, and the heads were here; General Shi Xun of the Zhu Kingdom led his troops to attack Huangtu Pass, and the heads were here.

Cao Yunli, the general of Shangkaifu, led his troops to attack Muling Pass, and the heads of the people were here; General Tian Xingshou, led his troops to attack Yinshan Pass, and the heads of the people were here.

The five head coaches, together with the heads of their main generals, were placed in front of Yuwen Wen at this moment. This was a great victory. The Huangzhou army had relatively low casualties and almost wiped out the five enemy troops that were invaded.

The total of more than 10,000 soldiers was over, and the civil and military officials present were very happy and excited, because everyone had a share of these great achievements.

When we learned that the five passes of Dabie Mountain were attacked by the enemy, it was false that the civil and military officials in Huangzhou said they were not worried, but the King of Xiyang was full of confidence, which made everyone somewhat confident. When the good news of the official army defeating all the enemy troops from all directions came, everyone really had confidence in the King of Xiyang.

Huangzhou lacks military strength and can defeat the five enemy troops at the same time, it is actually not as outsiders think that the official army is brave and good at fighting to defeat the more with less, but uses some incredible tactics.

What is the specific tactic? The people present only know the situations in Dacheng Pass, Baisha Pass and Huangtu Pass. They were all violent explosions that caused heavy casualties to the enemy. They were then covered up and killed by their own sides, killing them all the way.

As for what happened in Muling Pass and Yinshan Pass, it is unknown that thousands of enemy troops could be killed everywhere and the situation was strange, but the bloody heads placed in front of them mean that the enemy was indeed defeated.

It also means that everyone has worked hard and made great contributions. King Xiyang is very good at being a human being. Many enemies were killed by a pot or died inexplicably. However, the heads are all counted on the soldiers participating in the war. You can imagine how generous the rewards will be.

"The enemy attacked five groups, with amazing momentum, but now everyone is here, as the saying goes, 'The most important thing for a family is to be neat and order'!"

"In this battle, the officers and soldiers were united in hating the enemy. Although they suffered heavy casualties, they successfully defeated the enemy. The pensions for the casualties and disabled soldiers must be paid in time, and the soldiers must remember the merits clearly!"

"I said before the war that if you make merits, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished. Now that the official army has won a great victory, the reward must be issued immediately, and you will never delay it. You must not let the soldiers who are struggling to kill the enemy in front of you, bleeding and crying!"

Yuwen Wen set the tone, that is, he will clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments, and he will never be denied. He will not know when the war will end. If he wants to maintain the morale of his soldiers, he must do his best, punish him if he says punishment, and reward him if he says reward.

After all, it is the three words "trustworthy". These three words are easy to say, but it depends on conscience. Yuwen Wen thinks that he has a great conscience. As long as he has the ability to fulfill his promise, he will never go back on his word, because the consequences of going back on his word when leading the army in a war are very serious.

Using history as a guide, we can know the rise and fall. "In history", Emperor Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi, personally led an expedition to attack the Northern Han Dynasty. After capturing Jinyang City, he should have rewarded the soldiers who fought bloody battles. As a result, in order to attack Youzhou, he forced the army to continue fighting despite their fatigue.

The reward was given after conquering Jinyang? Take Youzhou and pay it.

Zhao Guangyi felt that this move was nothing wrong. The so-called "soldiers are more important than speed", but the result was that the army was defeated like a mountain. The emperor of the great Song Dynasty was caught in an arrow and rode a donkey cart to avoid being laughed at.

What is the problem? One of the problems is the injustice of rewards and punishments.

The Song army suffered heavy casualties in the attack on Jinyang. The soldiers who fought for the rest of their life were still waiting to receive the reward, but were told to take Youzhou before they could be told. However, the Liao army had many cavalry, who was confident of surviving the next round of bloody battle?

Isn’t this cheating!!

The commander is untrustworthy and treats the big-headed soldiers as fools. Why should the big-headed soldiers work hard?

This is the most basic human support. Yuwen Wen does not want to "repeat the same mistakes". Therefore, since he made a promise before the war, he must give it a reward, and it must be timely, because at this time the soldiers in his hands can be called a mob, and he cannot endure too much pain, and it will collapse when there is any disturbance.

The main force of the Huangzhou General Administration's army is still in Jiangzhou and even Lingbiao areas. Most of the remaining troops are stationed in prefectures, counties, cities and some important points. The imperial army is coming in full force, and Yuwen Wen, who has no soldiers in his hands, has to find a way to defend the enemy.

The solution is very simple, that is, to summon the rebel army to serve the king.

In layman's terms, it means calling on the powerful people from all over the world to lead their respective troops and soldiers to support the king. What king is the one who is diligent? Of course, it is the King of Xiyang.

Yuwen Wen has worked hard to manage Huangzhou for so many years, and finally has some appeal to the powerful and wealthy families in various places, so he summoned tens of thousands of rebels from all over the country in a short time and set up camp in Tingchuan.

In fact, it is just to pull the banner and be a tiger's skin. Residents from all over the country gather together, relying on the crowd to support the scene, whistle and courage in the cemetery at night, and by the way, they can fool the imperial army of the southern invaders.

Rebels from all over the country gathered together, and they had no affiliation between superiors and subordinates. They had never had any experience in fighting with the army before. They did not know the flag or understood the orders. The personnel quality was uneven, so it was very troublesome to manage.

There is no distinction between left and right, no barriers are made, and when camping, there is a mess, and when the team is erratic, it is even more embarrassing. There are so many kinds of messy things, let alone arraying.

That is, it can come in handy when fighting a battle with the wind. Once the war is in a tight position, it will collapse and it will be completely unreliable.

Yuwen Wen knew very well that the army gathered in Tingchuan, except for the basic official army, who could fight, the other rebels came to fight. The tough battles were unreliable and the military discipline was poor.

To put it bluntly, it is a mob, a super big fish. If you really meet an enemy general who is good at using troops, you might have hundreds of cavalry attacked at night and turn the Tingchuan camp into a Shura field.

If that were the case, King Yuwen of Xiyang would be defeated and his whole family would be captured and went to Yecheng to come. "The most important thing is to be neat and orderly"!

However, this kind of thing has not happened at all. As the war progresses smoothly, we will naturally have to reward merits. Whether it is the bottom of the fish or the onlookers, as long as we have put in more efforts, we must cash out the rewards in time, otherwise the team will be difficult to lead.
