It is probably also noticed that the comparison between each other can invisibly reduce the resentment of the army, and even reduce the internal friction of their own troops, and there is no need to worry about mutiny, so the warlords had ideas.

Except for Lu?, the four warlords except Zhou Qixiang and Hou Pu all asked their subordinates to educate the big-headed soldiers - not to stare at Lu? Look at their troops. What's the point of seeing too much?

And you should look at Zhou Qixiang and Hou Pu's troops more and see how bad their lives are. Do you think that the pigs you eat will shake your head and don't eat them, and they will become sweet and delicious when you see them?

Do you think you are very happy?

Just be happy, dare not be happy?

Those who dare to be unhappy will be killed.

You should look at what is worse than yourself, see how bad Zhou Qixiang and Hou Pu's troops are doing so badly that they can even starve many people to death. Look at us, there are obviously fewer people to death.

This is the advantage, this is happiness, this is the reason why we must have won Zhou Qixiang and Hou Pu.

Through this series of words, the four warlords' subordinates really rarely cause trouble, and even became a little more active during the war, which surprised the four warlords.

Sure enough, when people compare themselves, they will be so angry that all the truths in the world are actually in the word "contrast".

As for the four major warlords who treated themselves as jokes, Zhou Qixiang and Hou Pu, who were enjoying themselves in a comfortable house, also felt great shame and crisis.

As their army lacks food and clothing, they continue to starve to death, and with the help of their [friendly troops], they realize that continuing like this is likely to cause a mutiny in the army before breaking through Chengdu.

Once there is a mutiny, you can suppress it even if you are more lucky. If you are almost lucky, you may have to run to the underworld to see Yama. What kind of dog emperor will you kill and what kind of bird position will you seize?

No, I can't continue like this.

We must find a way to change this situation.

Normal people know that dressing soldiers and having enough stomachs is the best solution to the problem, but how can warlords be normal people?

Therefore, it is impossible to improve food and benefits for cattle and horses.

It’s not that they don’t have that money, but they are reluctant and don’t think they should use their own money to improve the treatment of the cattle and horses.

The cows and horses are born to suffer. How can they keep them full and well-dressed?

This is not normal.

Therefore, in order not to make them feel that suffering is wrong, and in order not to make them feel that eating and clothing is what people deserve, we must find a different approach.

Use the Spiritual Victory Method.

They summoned senior officers to teach them the method of spiritual victory, which is to find the other party’s bad places and compare themselves with their own good places. As long as they can find one, it can be considered a victory. As long as there is one excellent place, it can be taken out and generalized.

Anyway, the right to speak is in my hands, so what I say is?

So they began to compare bad things and began to look for places where each other was worse than themselves.

This is of course very easy.

Hou Pu's army was transformed by the regular army, and its weapons and equipment were better. So Hou Pu's army began to promote that it was better than Zhou Qixiang's army because their weapons and equipment were better and they had many good steel knives.

Many people in Zhou Qixiang's army were even using wooden sticks that sharpened their heads.

Is it funny?

With this comparison, the big-headed soldiers of Hou Pu's troops immediately felt a sense of inexplicable pride, and suddenly felt that the resentment arose because they could not eat enough.

At least we have steel knives and weapons, so we can better protect ourselves when we kill enemies.

And they are actually wooden sticks, hahahahahaha!

After hearing about this, Zhou Qixiang was so angry that his mouth turned tilted. He repeatedly scolded Hou Pu, a bastard who was not doing human affairs and specifically looked for his own pain points, so he also tried his best to find Hou Pu's pain points.

Through careful investigation, Zhou Qixiang found that more people starved to death in Hou Pu's army than in his own army.

His army only starved to death by starving seven or eight people in a day, while Hou Pu's army was hungry and sick, and more than twenty people were reduced in non-combat operations a day.

Isn't this a huge victory?

So he seized Hou Pu's pain point and promoted it in his army, criticizing Hou Pu's cruelty and injustice, and promoting his benevolence and righteousness, making the cattle and horses in his army feel proud and happy, thereby increasing his safety factor.

Of course Hou Pu was even more angry.

So the two sides began to fight more fiercely.

So the army outside the city appeared. The troops despise the four major warlords. The four major warlords despise Zhou Qixiang and Hou Pu, and Zhou Qixiang and Hou Pu despise each other's contempt chain.

In addition to this main chain of contempt, the troops of each warlord will also have some auxiliary chain of contempt.

Anyway, the warlords' troops are just as bad as they should be. They can always find the bad ones they should have. There is no impeccable existence.

For example, Lu? The commander with a relatively high status under his command is as good as Long Yang, and he often coerces his subordinates to provide services to him. The better the service, the higher the position.

Then during the siege, this situation was hit by other warlords when they came to visit, which became a joke.

The other major warlords immediately laughed at Lu? It was Long Yangjun, and said that he might as well change his army's name to Long Yangjun. Anyway, officers were promoted by this skill, and the entire army was all internally solved the needs, and it was simply a saint-level army.

The army that is not for women when fighting, saint!

The other six warlords mocked Lu?.

Lu? Because of this, he lost the boss's face, and the morale of the entire army was greatly declining. He couldn't raise his head in front of other troops. In anger, Lu? directly chopped off the commander.

The outside of the city is more bad than the wind, but if you should say it, these seven armies are only land? This one can barely be considered an army. Soldiers can basically eat and wear clothes, so they are more brave in fighting, and put the most pressure on Chengdu when siege.

The other six armies each have their own difficulties and their own funny points. What is missing here and what is missing there, and what is missing there, can't keep up with it while fighting materials.

If a large number of people were starved to death, there would be no need to fight this battle. So at the suggestion of the staff, the warlords were forced to take out money to buy it from the army with abundant supplies.

The military officials came forward to buy it, and the soldiers would buy it if they took the money privately, or exchanged it with each other, and they would make a fuss. The military camp rest area outside Chengdu City became a vegetable market.

Some military quarrestrial officials made a lot of money by using this business, which attracted many people to follow suit, so that more people who do business seriously than those who fight seriously.

The progress of the battle can be imagined.

From the end of October of the seventh year of Hongwu to the beginning of December of the seventh year of Hongwu, more than 100,000 warlords were barely filled up their moat and began to push the siege equipment to directly attack the city, preparing to climb the city to launch hand-to-hand combat.

However, the Chengdu defenders are not vegetarians. The advantages of the moat are gone, so they will use the advantages of the city walls. All kinds of guardians are full of equipment, and the city is filled with supplies. Jinju, a strategic material such as old farmers who are ecstatic when they see them, pour them down like hot water.

For a moment, a strong atmosphere that touched tears filled the city of Chengdu with the cold wind.

This strong atmosphere brought about a very high casualty rate for the army outside the city, so whenever this familiar smell floated out, the army outside the city would always flee in panic.

With the persistent guards of Chengdu defenders, the battle has not made much progress for more than a month. According to the estimates of the social elites under the seven major warlords, this battle cannot be completed in a year.

Of course, this is not a problem in itself. It is normal to work around a city for several years, but at this moment, there are some minor problems in this way.

Because the threat from the Ming army is still there.

Especially when the news that the Ming army had conquered Chongqing Prefecture came, there was panic outside Chengdu City.

Luzhou is in danger, and the old nest is very close to Luzhou, Zhou Qixiang's troops and Zhu Liang's troops can no longer sit still, for fear that the Ming army would fight and directly blow up their nest.

Although there has not been news of the Ming army's war, in early December, the worried Zhou Qixiang and Zhu Liang still had no choice but to withdraw from the final circle of the Sichuan-Shu Emperor Championship and actively chose to become one of the heroes rather than the emperor.

They must return to their lair to protect their roots.

Their withdrawal made the other five people very happy because they felt that with Zhou Qixiang and Zhu Liang blocked them, they could seize the emperor's position more easily, and the probability of becoming emperor suddenly changed from one-seventh to one-fifth.

It's so happy.
