"Not bad." Qin Yuan nodded.
"Ah! Doesn't that mean I have to help the soldiers suck out the pus? That's so dirty..."
"How can I swallow this..."
Yan Jiaoran shook her head with a look of disgust.
Qin Yuan looked at her expressionlessly, "Did I let you suck it? What did I just say?"
"You said you wanted to remember their names, become friends with them, and be able to recognize them." Yan Jiaoran stuck out her tongue.
"Yes." Qin Yuan nodded, and added: "We must show kindness and win over the hearts of the troops."
"Will this really work?" Murong Yanran said softly, still a little skeptical.
"Of course." Qin Yuan said with a grin, "For example, let's take the case of Yang Yingguang leading the Tiger Guards and the Central Camp in a rebellion."
"If you could get to know the vast majority of the lower-level officials in these two guards."
"Even if they were tricked into rebellion by their superiors."
"The two armies will line up. When you appear, go to the opposing camp and call out each person's name and greet them one by one."
"Hey, Zhang San, your wife gave birth, right? Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Hey, Li Si, your son is twelve this year, right? Is he enrolled in a private school?"
"What do you two think the soldiers are thinking?"
"On one side is the boss who has no idea who he is."
"On one side is the emperor who is very familiar with his family affairs and takes him to heart."
“What will they choose?”
"I'm afraid he'll burst into tears and turn against us right then and there!"
"The sergeants and corporals have all surrendered, and they've slapped each of their subordinates. Who else wouldn't follow suit?"
"All you have to do is call out every low-level officer like calling out a dish, and you will naturally be able to disintegrate all of the enemy's forces!"
"What does it matter if you can't govern a country? What does it matter if you can't fight a war?"
"Just delegate power to your capable ministers and famous generals. There's no need to worry about them becoming too powerful and threatening the emperor."
"As long as you master this move, no one in the world can rebel against you!"
"Without the support of his soldiers, what good is a brave general? What good is a wise counselor?"
"As long as you do this, no one in the world can rebel against you."
"After all, there are so many people in the world, and few of them would confide in these peasants, let alone chat with them and get to know them."
"People are all made of flesh and blood. They know who treats them as human beings and who treats them well."
"Just like the common people and rangers who spontaneously gathered outside Canglong Gate."
"Do you two understand?"
"Taishigong's Records of the Grand Historian records the heroes of the past centuries, but how many of these heroes could achieve what they set out to do?"
"Isn't it that this is clearly written in history books, but later generations can't even copy it?"
"And all of this stems from two words: arrogance!"
"It stems from the deep-seated disregard and contempt for these people."
"Now, I've told you the solution. It's up to you two whether you're willing to do it or not."
Qin Yuan warned earnestly.
This is the real dragon-slaying technique, which is written openly in textbooks, recorded in countless movies and TV series, and engraved in the memories of the elderly.
Let me ask, how many people today are willing to do it and believe it?
Love your soldiers as your own sons, love the people as your own sons, and the military and the people will be one.
It sounds simple, but it is very difficult to actually do it.
