Li Rusong was obedient and Li Chengliang was very satisfied.

"Okay, just remember it. Come on, help me up. I have to see Xiao Jixin with my own eyes. I have heard of her name for a long time but never met her. This is a bit regrettable."

Li Chengliang stubbornly wanted to get up and see what Xiao Ruxun looked like, which made Li Rusong feel a little amused and cry, so he had to call a few people to help him dress Li Chengliang together, and then personally supported Li Chengliang and slowly left the safe Xiao Jincheng.

At this time, Xiao Ruxun was on the front line. He was placing the twenty red cannons he brought to the city wall one by one, and did the corresponding shock absorption work.

In this regard, his gunners in the headquarters have a lot of experience and directed the gunners sent by Zhu Yijun to perform slightly unfamiliar but still correct operation steps.

The soldiers guarding the city were very curious and a little afraid to look at the legendary Wanli No. 1 general. The reason why they were curious was because of the shadow of the famous tree of a man, so they were naturally curious.

As for fear, it is because when Xiao Ruxun came, he brought more than 300 heads of deserters who were killed along the way.

"Whenever someone dares to flee privately against military law, I don't care whose family you are, and I will kill you all the way without mercy! Others dare not, but I, Xiao Ruxun, dare!"

He had the confidence to say such things and did as he did, and no one would doubt that he would not govern and control the army he could control as he said.

The preliminary statistics made Xiao Ruxun very annoyed. The legendary 60,000 Beijing soldiers, so far, have less than 30,000. Before he arrived in Beijing, many of them had already escaped on the road and ran all the way. Basically, the timids at home had already escaped.

The rest were not all bold, but also some stupid and arrogant. Li Chengliang ignored the ones who escaped on the road. Instead, after arriving at Zijing Pass, he arranged his own guards and Chai Guozhu's guards to guard various exits and patrol the city walls. He saw all those who retreated and disrupted the morale of the army and tried to become deserters, and no one was left behind.

I don’t care about it on the way. If the war starts, you will be real deserters. You should be killed according to the rules and have nothing to say!

Old Li is also cruel enough. He has been a military veteran for decades, with skillful means and no mercy.

However, even so, when the battle situation was tense, Lao Li had no time to pay attention to it, which gave many deserters an opportunity to take advantage of it. Xiao Ruxun encountered more than 300 along the way, and I don’t know how many people I didn’t encounter on other routes. It can be seen that Lao Li is not omnipotent.

But now, Xiao Ruxun specifically instructed Li Rusong to build a cavalry team of more than 300 people, giving them the power to hunt deserters. Anyone who is suspected of a deserter and does not have tokens or warrants to leave the battlefield and needs to do business, the cavalry team can take action first and then report, and will not be held accountable.

Such ruthless methods and the more than 300 heads that were hung up in the cold wind greatly shocked the Beijing soldiers. Whether they wanted to escape or did not want to escape, they all began to consider whether the survival rate was high or the survival rate was high.

When generals use military forces, they must use severe punishments and strict laws, otherwise the military discipline will be poor, and even the most powerful army will be just a beast army. Once the general dies, he will scatter and disappear into the long river of history.

When a general uses military force, he must use kindness and kindness, otherwise the soldiers will be afraid of the general but disrespect and believe in the general. If the soldiers are too oppressed, the general himself will be in danger, such as Zhang Fei.

Leading troops is the same as being an emperor. You must use both kindness and power, and use both sticks and gold, silver and treasures. Only by taking two steps can you achieve the best results. Simple punishments and simple gratitude cannot lead the best army.

Therefore, after the ruthless means shocked, Xiao Ruxun also needed to win people's hearts so that these old men in the Beijing camp were willing to work hard and believed that the survival rate of fighting was higher than the survival rate of running away, otherwise they would still escape, don't believe it?

Think about it, Zhang Fei's powerful and fierce man and his troops were so strict, how could he force his soldiers to the point that someone would take the risk of killing him and running away?

People are forced to do anything.

The first step for Xiao Ruxun to win people's hearts was to ship winter clothes. He knew that the clothes these soldiers were wearing were inferior winter clothes. Some deserters he had met before also cried that he could not stand the coldness and did not want to be frozen to death before running away. Seeing these soldiers trembling with blue faces, he knew that they had been cold for a long time.

In such a cold situation, it is normal to not be able to stimulate the will to fight. You must have enough body temperature on your head, otherwise your blood will keep your body warm and there will be no temperature to fight.

A large number of winter clothes transferred from the Beijing warehouse came in handy at this moment. Anyway, those people dared not stop them with the emperor's handwriting, and let Xiao Ruxun take the special one. Xiao Ruxun was not polite and took a lot of more.

The soldiers were relieved when they got enough clothes to keep warm. They felt that the famous general was not simply forcing them to die, but had the minimum care for them, so their attitude towards Xiao Ruxun began to change.

The second step was to order the army of our army to chop firewood, ignite fire, and boil ginger water to drive away the cold and keep warm.

Under the cold wind, a bowl of steaming ginger water can win people's hearts than anything else. After a long battle, many Beijing soldiers were physically and mentally damaged. A bowl of ginger water did not have much effect, but it could make them feel a little warm.

How precious is a trace of warmth under the ice and snow!

Many people just drank and shed tears.

Their attitude towards Xiao Ruxun began to change drastically in a good direction.

The third step is to send military medical officers to rediagnose and treat some injured soldiers, bandage the wounds, and send them back to Xiaojincheng, the rear for recuperation. If they are more serious, they directly ordered them to be sent back to the capital. There is no need to die here.

Xiao Ruxun has always been very concerned about medical issues in war, and this was the case when he was in Ningxia. Therefore, Xiao Ruxun is known for his low mortality rate in war. As long as the soldiers who fought with him were not dead, they could basically be treated. The war was a little overwhelmed and stayed in the army for recuperation. When the war was short, they would be sent back to the base camp for recuperation. There was no need to die.

Xiao Ruxun's reputation of caring about the lives of soldiers and not making unnecessary sacrifices shines on the Korean battlefield, becoming one of the main reasons why a large number of foreign troops ignored factional disputes and were willing to obey his orders to fight for him.

Soldiers are also human beings, not weapons. If they have their own thoughts, they will be afraid of hatred and shrink, and they will cherish their lives. Although they are kind and do not control the soldiers, the generals who force them to die are powerful, but soldiers are also human beings.

If there is no need to die, and if there are sufficient conditions, soldiers should not be allowed to die. A veteran who has recovered from injury is far more combat effectiveness than a hasty recruitment.

Xiao Ruxun deeply understood the truth and knew how a pity it was for those who died unjustly on the battlefield in ancient times. How could he watch his lives pass away with a handful of herbs and a strip of white cloth?
