Accidents like this can happen, and a well-disciplined force should avoid such things.

There are vivid negative examples, such as Li Ling. Taking advantage of the terrain, the Han general's 5,000 infantry troops killed tens of thousands of Huns. Just before the Huns were about to flee, this was originally an earth-shattering victory, but it was not meant to be.

The merits of this world.

However, there was a problem with the management of Li Ling's army and there was internal strife. Li Ling's subordinates had conflicts with Li Ling and went to tell the Huns that Li Ling's arrows had been used up.

Then the Xiongnu got the information and pressed forward with their entire army. Li Ling surrendered as a weakling.

Originally, with 5,000 foot soldiers and surrounded by more than 100,000 cavalry, Li Ling not only defeated the Huns, but also killed tens of thousands of them. Such a dazzling achievement was enough to leave a mark in history.

As a result, Li Ling overturned.

Li Mengxi even wondered what kind of contradiction it was that made Li Ling's subordinate officers unbearable. They would rather surrender to the enemy than kill Li Ling.

Some people say that Li Ling is also a famous general, but he is just unlucky.

The famous general smiled.

The Han Dynasty had many famous generals, but Li Ling, the general of his defeated army, did not rank among them.

Li Ling does not deserve to be called a famous general! As the commander-in-chief of an army, he was unable to detect the conflicts within the army. The conflicts were so great that his generals defected on the battlefield. This is an extreme deficiency in Li Ling's ability.

Is Li Ling bad luck?

On the contrary, Li Ling is extremely lucky!

A defeated general who surrendered to the Huns could still be crowned king by the Huns and enjoy glory and wealth.

If Li Ling was really unlucky, given Li Ling's poor management skills and his deep conflicts with subordinate officers, his subordinate officers would simply cut off Li Ling's head with a knife at night and surrender to the Huns.

Li Ling was not beheaded and lived to become the king of the Huns. He was extremely lucky.

There is often only one step between a genius and a fool. One step of anticipation can lead to unparalleled success; one step of mistake can lead to a joke.

The road to war is dangerous, so we must be cautious at all times.

Li Mengxi stood beside the pottery urn, staring at the bonfire and the urn in a daze. The local heroes who came to work mistakenly thought that Li Mengxi was watching to see if anyone had stolen food.

investment.

Another omission, Li Mengxi discovered it through unreasonable association.

Rations!

For soldiers, food and pay are not a trivial matter, but a top priority. They may be able to tolerate no pay, but unfair distribution of food and starvation will violate the soldiers' bottom line.

How to distribute food and pay is unfair. Li Mengxi believes that it should be ordered by military law and strictly enforced by military law, so that the lowest-level squad leader responsible for distributing food does not dare to blatantly enrich his own pockets.

In order to make military discipline more effective, an evaluation system for officers should be added.

However, those who commit bad deeds will be immediately dismissed from military service to serve as a warning to others.

If this regular review system is in place, fairness can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

This can be related to other issues. In addition to the distribution of rations, there are also daily labors. During the march, whether the bastard squad leader asked others to help him pick up weapons, etc., can be strictly prohibited through internal review.

Li Mengxi thought deeply along the line of thought and thought of many things that he had not thought of before.

The military should have a picket system and pickets responsible for enforcing discipline and focusing on bad behavior.

Whether it is an internal self-examination system or pickets, there is currently no such thing in the military.

Not only are there no such things, there is still no set of clear and clearly stated military orders.

The rebel army is a rough creation, and there are problems everywhere. Compared with the army that has been carefully crafted and can be called elite soldiers, it is far behind.

Li Mengxi frowned.

——

Li Mengxi had dinner with the women and children camp, and did not go to eat with Liu Xuande.

I don’t know why, but the porridge is very thick, and it becomes thicker every time it is cooked. It is as thick as dry rice, and one meal can be used as two meals.

Li Mengxi didn't know yet, but just because he was standing in front of the cook, the cook was afraid that Li Mengxi would be dissatisfied, so he put in more food.

While eating, Li Mengxi thought that according to the original method of dividing porridge in Zhuozhou City, both adults and children should have one portion of porridge.

Of course, children with small appetites may not be able to finish a bowl of porridge, but if children cannot finish it, parents can eat it.

Just because you have children with you, adults should eat more.

Because compared to a man who is alone, a man with a child has to protect the child. If he eats more food, he will have more strength and can better protect the child.

Both adults and children get full portions of food, which is very reasonable and fair.

However, it seems that just now, when the cook was preparing meals for the women and children, he gave full spoons to the adults and only half a spoon to the children.

The cook's method of cooking was reasonable, but it was inconsistent with Li Mengxi's ideas.

That's not right.

This is the problem again.

I wanted to call the cooks over and explain it to me, but I was eating, so I couldn't disturb them, so I had to wait until the meal was finished before explaining it.
