Chapter 123: Motivating Morale



After getting Yun Zheng's guidance, Du Guiyuan and others immediately went to select suitable people.

Soon, they decided on the candidate.

Feng Yu.

This man was originally a captain of infantry in the Shenwu Army, in charge of the troops in both directions.

It would be more than enough for him to command these five hundred people.

Zuo Ren even suggested to Yun Zheng that Feng Yu should be the commander-in-chief and he would be Feng Yu's deputy.

"good!"

Yun Zheng readily agreed, but nodded secretly in his heart.

Zuo Ren is still good.

He knew that he had to help someone rise up among the people in the Shenwu Army to prevent those newly transferred people from thinking that he, the prince, was nepotism.

...

...

When we get to Shuobei, we will definitely let Zuo Ren lead the army alone!

Yun Zheng chatted briefly with Feng Yu and then asked everyone to continue practicing.

Just let them practice according to their usual subjects and don't bother with them.

Afterwards, Yun Zheng instructed Zhou Mi: "Take the people in the kitchen and go buy some pork right away. It will be a snack for everyone tonight! Also, buy some more good wine!"

"Are you crazy?"

Chen Luoyan immediately stopped him, "Do you know that drinking in the army is a taboo?"

“I know!”

Yun Zheng shrugged.

"Then why did you ask people to buy so much wine?"

Shen Luoyan was very angry.

Yun Zheng is a complete layman!

You don't know anything, yet you always act like a commander in front of me?

"How many days are left for the Nanyuan Martial Arts Performance?"

Yun Zheng asked calmly.

"Three days!"

Shen Luoyan answered unhappily.

"Isn't that enough?"

Yun Zheng rolled his eyes at Shen Luoyan, "In just three days, how do you think you can train them? In that case, why don't I use this time to boost morale?"

There's really not much to practice in three days.

At this time, morale is more important than the drill itself.

Faced with Yun Zheng's questioning, Shen Luoyan was speechless again.

Yun Zheng waved his hand, signaling Zhou Mi to immediately do what he had assigned him.

"You are quite clever!"

Shen Luoyan snorted coldly, agreeing with Yun Zheng's words.

Yes, what can you achieve in just three days?

Although Yun Zheng allowed these people to drink, it was not the right way, but it was also a way to boost morale.

Yun Zheng rolled his eyes at her and said, "I'm not stupid to begin with. You just think I'm too stupid."

"That's all you're clever at!"

Shen Luoyan curled her lips and said, "You don't even know the content of the Nanyuan martial arts performance, but you dare to divide and dispatch troops. Do you think you are smart?"

"I told you you're stupid, but you still don't believe it."

Yun Zheng looked at Shen Luoyan with amusement, "I just divided the troops for deployment, but I didn't say that they must be divided! When we know the content of the martial arts performance, we can decide whether to divide the troops or not, isn't it okay?"

Shen Luoyan choked slightly and opened her mouth several times, but no words came out.

Once again, Yun Zheng left her speechless.

Shen Luoyan was so angry!

She really wanted to find something to refute Yun Zheng, but she didn't know how.

In the end, Chen Luoyan could only turn his head away and sulk.

How could he be left speechless by someone who had only learned military tactics and battle formations from Xiao Dingwu for a few days?

asshole!

This bastard!

Just wait!

I will definitely let you know how powerful I am!

Shen Luoyan thought angrily.

Looking at Shen Luoyan's appearance, Yun Zheng couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

This girl is only suitable to be the leader of my guards!

It would be very difficult to let her lead the army alone.

In fact, he had already roughly guessed the content of the Nanyuan martial arts performance.

If things go as expected, I will become Nanyuan's prey!

This should be an exercise about encirclement and breakout!

I just don't know how many people my father plans to use to surround them.

To be honest, he is still a little weak now.

Nanyuan is considered to be quite large as a hunting ground.

But as a battlefield, it is too small!

In such a small area, the strategic maneuvering space must be very small. If my father mobilizes a large force to capture him, he may not have a chance to escape!

I hope that I, this cheap old man, won’t be too harsh!

He really didn't want Qin Qihu to follow him!

Yun Zheng and Shen Luoyan stayed in Maoer Mountain for the whole day.

Although Yun Zheng asked Zhou Mi to take people to buy a lot of fine wine, he didn't drink it at noon.

Night falls.

A pile of bonfires were lit in the temporary training ground of Maoer Mountain, illuminating the surroundings.

The people in the kitchen were busy for the whole afternoon, preparing many large pots of delicious dishes.

Looking at the large chunks of meat in the pot, many people were secretly drooling.

There is no need for any tables, chairs or benches, just put the big pot on the training ground.

Yun Zheng picked up a bowl of wine, pulled the reluctant Shen Luoyan to the middle, and said loudly: "A few days ago, the king and the princess got married. Some of the brothers present drank the wedding wine, and some did not! Today, the king and the princess will invite all the brothers to drink a glass of wedding wine!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Princess!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

Yun Zheng raised his hand to stop everyone, and said loudly again: "I will not say any more unnecessary words! Today, brothers, eat and drink well! I have only one request: when we perform martial arts in Nanyuan, even if you meet the imperial guards, you must tear a piece of meat from them for me!"

As he spoke, Yun Zheng raised his head and drank the bowl of wine in one gulp. Then he smashed the bowl in his hand fiercely on the ground and roared murderously: "Kill!"

"kill!"

Everyone followed suit and roared.

The voices of thousands of people gathered into a torrent, instantly filling Maoer Mountain with a murderous atmosphere.

Snap…

The wine bowls in everyone's hands were smashed to pieces.

Looking at Yun Zheng in front of him, Shen Luoyan was distracted for a moment.

This shameless bastard can actually be so passionate sometimes?

She even suspected that someone had covered his face with a layer of skin to pretend to be Yun Zheng.

"Oh no! I got so excited that I smashed the bowl. How can I drink now?"

However, the next moment, Shen Luoyan's fantasy was shattered by Yun Zheng's annoyed voice.

Looking at the broken wine bowls on the ground, Shen Luoyan couldn't help but look upset.

He just realized now that he had smashed all the wine bowls?

Seeing Yun Zheng's frustrated look, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

The original solemn atmosphere was instantly broken by the roar of laughter.

"Your Majesty, the men in our army don't have to be so particular about drinking!"

Du Guiyuan grabbed a jar of wine with his one arm, gulped it down, and then handed the jar to Zuo Ren beside him.

Zuo Ren took the wine and immediately started drinking from the jar.

"Well, that's how a man drinks!"

Yun Zheng strode towards Zuo Ren and took the wine jar from him, "I will drink with you brothers today!"

As he spoke, Yun Zheng also picked up the jar of wine and took a few gulps, then passed it to the next person.

At this moment, Yun Zheng did not have the slightest airs of a prince.

With them taking the lead, everyone also picked up the wine jars and started drinking.

For a moment, the entire Maoer Mountain was filled with laughter.

No one cared whether the person next to them was from the Shenwu Army or had been here for a long time, they just pulled each other to drink.

Invisibly, the gap between the Shenwu Army and the old soldiers gradually began to dissipate...
