"You are indeed the general appointed by His Majesty, but this barracks is not a place for you to show off your power! It has been three full months since you left Luoyang and marched!"
"We suggested to you more than once to slow down and let all the soldiers get their due rest, but instead of listening, you repeatedly asked the soldiers to speed up, regardless of their physical condition!"
"Look at what the soldiers look like now, even if it's a dog, it can't travel for days!"
"All these soldiers left their homes and chose to serve as soldiers in order to protect the relatives behind them. They chose to come here to defeat the rebels. They are all the pillars of our Han Dynasty!"
One after another, the soldiers were yelling at Gongsun, which had never happened before in the history of the Han Dynasty.
The battle is ahead, but the soldiers under him are yelling at the general.
This is undoubtedly an act that disturbs the morale of the army.
But now these soldiers couldn't bear it anymore, because they felt that if Gongsun Zan's behavior could not be corrected, then all the 5 troops would be wiped out here!
"We are marching for a long time, not for three or two days!"
"Look at the soldiers led by General Zhou. They always kept a constant speed and never squeezed the soldiers!"
"Just now we have seen the spirit of the soldiers led by General Zhou. The slogans they shouted soared to the sky. This is the general, this is the soldier!"
These soldiers crumbled into rubble.
It made Gongsun Zan's complexion extremely pale.
He took two steps back and couldn't believe what he saw!
"You can't even sympathize with the soldiers under your hands, so why make the soldiers under your hands obey you!"
As soon as this word comes out.
Gongsun Zan trembled all over, and pointed at the dozens of soldiers in front of him, but he didn't know who to point to!
Chapter 68 For Peace
Gongsun Zan waved his sleeves fiercely, turned and left, and he didn't dare to say a word in front of dozens of angry soldiers.
He was shaking, not from anger but from fear.
He was afraid that these dozens of soldiers would rebel and kill him.
Back in the barracks that had just been built, Gongsun Zan looked at the counselors under him with some hesitation.
"Sir. Do you think they might rebel if this continues?"
In the end, it was Gongsun Zan who couldn't help but speak. After all, he was the general who led the troops. If something unexpected happened in the end, he would definitely be the first to suffer.
And looking at the state of these soldiers filled with righteous indignation just now, he couldn't help but come up with an idea.
If he was killed by these people, would they commit perjury together?
At that time, they all told the emperor that they were killed by Zhang Chun, and they had no place to seek justice!
The counselor gave a helpless wry smile.
How could I have believed in someone like Gongsun Zan?
Although it looks brave on the surface, it is actually brave and foolish!
When facing General Zhou, he couldn't suppress his emotions because of jealousy, and when facing the soldiers, he lost his composure because of anger.
If you can't treat people generously, he will be defeated sooner or later!
But since I have chosen the lord, I will never change it easily, I just hope that Gongsun Zan will become smarter in the future.
"There will never be a master like this."
The counselor cupped his hands and said: "We have never had such a situation in the Han Dynasty, and I have heard about those soldiers. They are all loyal and brave men. They may have been too angry just now, so they spoke There is something inappropriate."
"but……"
The counselor hesitated for a moment, and said again: "Now all the soldiers have been marching for three full months, and the rest time for one day is indeed too little."
After thinking for a while, he decided to make a suggestion, after all, marching and fighting is not a joke.
If the soldiers cannot maintain a full state, it will be extremely difficult to win this war.
There are too many soldiers in history, because of hunger and fatigue, even if they are outnumbered, they eventually lost the war.
Hearing what the counselor said, Gongsun Zan breathed a sigh of relief.
He waved his hand, and said as if pity: "Since you have said such things, the counselors, let them rest for a few more days, and adjust the original day to five days!"
"Let them recover, and eat some good food these days. After capturing Jizhou, I will reward them for their merits!"
"Go down and tell them about it."
Gongsun Zan's eyes flickered, as if he was a little scared.
Hearing Gongsun Zan's words, the counselor was taken aback for a moment, and then he noticed the abnormality in Gongsun Zan's expression.
He couldn't help but sighed. Gongsun Zan was afraid that he would cause public outrage and be killed if he went out.
Hey……
How could I recognize such a lord?
Timid and fearful, but unable to convince the public.
It is just luck that such a person can lead these 5 soldiers!
"Okay, my lord, I'll go out now."
Immediately afterwards, the counselor withdrew and announced Gongsun Zan's latest order to all the soldiers.
But when they heard the counselor's words, instead of being grateful, all the soldiers laughed coldly.
"Hehe, Gongsun Zan planted things that he didn't grow. Even if he apologizes to us now, we still admire him as a man who knows his mistakes and can correct them!"
A soldier's face was full of sarcasm. From the very beginning when Gongsun Zan's face was full of complacency, he had already been dissatisfied with Gongsun Zan when he asked all the soldiers to go forward with all their strength.
The emperor may not be able to tell whether a soldier is good or bad, but they can tell at a glance!
In other words, it can be seen through the soldiers under his hands.
Gongsun Zan has led these 5 soldiers for three months.
During the past three months, all the soldiers were angrily cursing at Gongsun Zan, and they had long accumulated resentment in their hearts.
