The way to control the inferior is to win without praise or lose without blame. This is the art of leadership.

After a great victory, you should not praise your generals too much, otherwise you will easily develop arrogance. If you fail, you should not blame them too hard, otherwise your morale will be difficult and you will no longer have the fighting spirit.

Gu Qing's serious attitude drew a basin of cold water to the heads of the generals who were happy about the victory. The joyful joy disappeared without a trace, and everyone's emotions were instantly pulled to the bottom by Gu Qing's serious expression.

The slender wooden stick pointed at the sand table, and the generals pointed at the positions on the sand table, and explained the command process over and over again, including any details and any small abnormality pointed out on the sand table.

Xian Yu Zhongtong stood aside with his beard stroke, quietly listening to the Anxi generals carefully reviewing and then reviewing, and his eyes flashed.

Seeing the generals being honest like quails in front of Gu Qing, it can be seen that Gu Qing has such a high prestige in the army. This young man is not simple. He has mastered this tiger and wolf army to his core.

After a long time, Chang Zhong took back the wooden stick and whispered: "The battle situation is roughly like this. The master's plan is not bad, but we didn't expect that this alien enemy army would be so fierce, which caused our army to suffer a little loss..."

Gu Qing nodded and said, "Liu Hongbo, tell me the details of leading your troops from the east and west flanks, remember not to miss any details."

Liu Hongbo took the wooden stick from Chang Zhong's hand and said again the tactical details of the flanking encirclement again.

After Liu Hongbo finished speaking, Gu Qing said again: "Sun Jiushi, how is your sharpshooting camp commanded, how is embedded in the battlefield, and what time is there to order a counterattack, and say it in detail."

Sun Jiushi's face was sometimes red and sometimes green, and he was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he knelt down to Gu Qing: "Master, I'm going to be guilty!"

"What are your sins?"

"Before the war started, the general of the Mo escaped from the Sharp Shooting Camp without authorization, sneaked into the battlefield alone, and ambushed on a hill, killing only one enemy general. Until the Sharp Shooting Camp was embedded in the battlefield and fired several rounds of guns, the general of the Mo rushed back to take over the command..."

Gu Qing said coldly: "A general of the army, before the battle, left the team without authorization and chose to act alone. Do you know what this is? Sun Jiushi, was I blinded when I asked you to be the captain of the sharpshooting camp?"

He said a little heavy, Sun Jiushi's face changed so much that he opened his mouth, and found that he could not explain, so he had to lower his head and said sadly: "I will be aware of the crime, please punish me."

A cold light flashed in Gu Qing's eyes. Just as he was about to speak, Chang Zhong suddenly said, "Mr., Rong Mo will talk a few more words."

"explain."

Chang Zhong whispered: "Sun Jiushi is guilty, and the general dare not plead for him, but the general wants to tell a fact. When the two armies were fighting fiercely and the battle situation was gradually tragic, the general suddenly found that the enemy's formation was in chaos. Although it was very short, the general and Liu Hongbo seized the opportunity and charged against the enemy, breaking the enemy's formation..."

"After the war, the generals carefully interrogated the captured enemy. It turned out that the small chaos in the enemy was because their commander Ashi Nalieqing suddenly died in the formation. The generals asked the captured commander's personal guards. They told him that it was during the fierce battle between the two armies that Ashi Nalieqing suddenly fell from the horse's back and died on the spot. The generals checked his fatal wound, which was a wound on his neck, was shot by our flintlock gun. The shot... was exactly triggered by Sun Jiushi, who was ambushing on the hill."

Everyone in the tent was stunned and looked at Sun Jiushi in shock.

Even Sun Jiushi was shocked, pointed at his nose in disbelief and said quietly: "I only fired one shot on the hill. Could that shot just kill the enemy commander? The general who hid behind the scenes and shouted was their commander?"

Chang Zhong sighed, glanced at Sun Jiushi, and said, "Although I'm not willing to admit this fact, it is indeed a fact. Your kid's dog luck is really..."

Sun Jiushi murmured: "No wonder I didn't like him at that time. I didn't beat anyone else. I just wanted to kill that guy. It turned out to be the head coach..."

Turning his head to look at Gu Qing, Chang Zhong whispered: "Mr. Master, although Sun Jiushi is guilty, he has made contributions. Does Mr. Master spare Sun Jiushi for the sake of shooting and killing the enemy commander?"

The generals in the tent also reacted and pleaded for Sun Jiushi one after another. Even Qu Huan, who was originally from the Hexi Army, said a few good things to Sun Jiushi.

Gu Qing still had a cold face, but his eyes were a little hesitant.

Xian Yu Zhongtong stroked his beard and smiled: "Mr. Gu County, you are the head coach in the tent, but you and I still talk about your uncle and nephew. I said that you rely on your seniority to be a soldier. Although your general Sun was guilty of leaving the team in the battle, he shot and killed the head coach of the enemy with one force. This is a great achievement of taking the general's head among millions of troops. Even if you don't reward, it's not reasonable to punish him. What do you think?"

Gu Qing glanced at Sun Jiushi and saw him looking at him with a begging face, so he sighed and said, "Sun Jiushi is guilty and has made merits. The rewards and punishments in the Anxi army are clearly distinguished, and there is no such thing as a counterpart. Sun Jiushi was removed from the position of Chief Commander of the Shixi Camp and demoted him to the battalion official. He was punished to be a personal guard around Chang Zhong from tomorrow. Chang Zhong can teach Sun Jiushi the ancient and modern military tactics in person, so that he can understand what a general's responsibility is."

"I will report to the emperor truthfully for Sun Jiushi's shooting and killing the commander. Before the emperor's reward is given, Sun Jiushi, be Chang Zhong's personal guard and learn military tactics from him."

After saying that, Gu Qing stared at Sun Jiushi and said slowly: "Do you agree with me if I do this?"

Sun Jiushi said happily: "I will convince you."

Gu Qing nodded and said, "Okay, get out and lead the army sticks now. After receiving the nutritional injury, even if you are lame tomorrow, I will stay with Chang Zhong to serve him."

Sun Jiushi went out happily.

The generals breathed a sigh of relief and laughed. Xian Yu Zhongtong shook his head and said, "I understand why you can manage this tiger and wolf army well. My nephew is really strict in the management of the army without losing human nature. There are Zhang and Chi in addition to the principle of law. How can the generals not use their lives to do their best?"

Gu Qing glanced at the smiling generals and hummed, "Uncle Xianyu praised, this group of killings has become so spoiled. If you make a mistake next time, I will give you a ruthless move and wait."

…………

During the Yingshui victory, the Anxi Army killed 70,000 foreign enemy troops and captured more than 10,000 prisoners. The news of the victory quickly spread across Shannan, Henan.

The An Lushan rebellion was different from the original history. Due to the emergence of Gu Qing, the Anxi Army became the main force of the royal army to suppress the rebellion. When the Anxi Army was stationed in Dengzhou, An Lushan's rebels no longer dared to march south. Gu Qing's Anxi Army blocked the rebels in Guanzhong, preventing the south of the Tang Dynasty from being poisoned by the war.

When officials and people from all over the south heard about the great victory of the Anxi Army, all the places were excited and excited.

The rebels were powerful, and even the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was forced to give up the capital and fled to Shu in a panic. The royal army of the court lost Tongguan first, then Chang'an, and the entire Guanzhong was lost.

In the miserable world, there was still an army of steel standing steadily outside Guanzhong like Mount Tai, defeating 100,000 enemy troops in one fell swoop, interrupting the rebels' legs and feet to continue moving south, making An Lushan's rebels dare not leave Henan, Guanzhong.

The result of this battle is not only the hundreds of thousands of killing enemies, but more importantly, its strategic significance.

Gu Qing not only prevented the rebels from moving south, but also effectively annihilated the rebels' live power. The greater significance is that the Battle of Yingshui was a battle between the Tang Dynasty's royal army against the northern nomadic alien races. The result of this battle promptly and fiercely wiped out the coveted intention of the northern alien races in order to take advantage of the chaos to capture the Tang Dynasty, making the leaders of the nomadic tribes deeply understand that no matter how weak the Tang Dynasty is, it is not something that they and the barbarians can defeat.

If the Anxi Army had not sniped this nomadic army of 100,000 people in time on the banks of the Yingshui River, it would be hard to imagine how the people of the Tang Dynasty would encounter slaughter and looting that would be worse than death after they were allowed to move south.

Moreover, after this war, the nomadic aliens in the north lost 100,000, which had damaged their vitality. In the next few years, they were no longer able to invade the border and invade the south again.

The civil officials cheered, and the reputation of the Anxi Army spread far and wide again. Even the governors and other officials in Dengzhou City were treated rudely by Gu Qing. After learning about the great victory of the Anxi Army in Yingshui, the governor led the officials to the camp to congratulate him again without any grudges, and presented some food and meat to reward the army.

Although the emperor fled in a panic and even though the rebels occupied Guanzhong without any force, it has to be said that Li Tang was still recognized as orthodox among the people, and officials and the people still looked up to the court, hoping that the royal army would quell the rebellion as soon as possible and welcome the emperor to return to power in the capital.

Gu Qing understood very well. He knew that this was the blessing of Li Longji's diligence in his early years. No matter how stupid he was in his later years, he finally created a prosperous era and finally gave the people a good life.

People's hearts are as fair as time. The emperor's merits and demerits cannot be concealed by people's hearts and cannot be deceived by justice.

…………

After endless reviews, Gu Qing ordered the three armies to celebrate the merits and keep the wine and meat full.

The memorials reported to the victory were sent to Li Longji's patrol camp. At the same time, the lights inside the Anxi Army camp were as bright as day, and the tents were filled with laughter and whistling of soldiers, and occasionally mixed with a few crying, which were their sacrificial robes.

Gu Qing's tent was also full of people. Tonight's camp made an exception and allowed drinking. Generals such as Chang Zhong and Li Siye were naturally not polite. They drank red as soon as the banquet started and toasted each other and ate wine.

Xianyu Zhongtong and Gu Qing drank a few cups alone. During this period, Xianyu Zhongtong wanted to speak but stopped, and finally couldn't help asking about the Sci-She Camp.

In the battle of Yingshui, the flintlock rifle of the Sharp Shooting Camp finally made its debut in this world. The power of the flintlock rifle is obvious to all. It can be said that this battle that was originally at a disadvantage was entirely due to the 5,000 soldiers of the Sharp Shooting Camp instantly regained the situation. Xian Yu Zhongtong also witnessed it with his own eyes. He was shocked and suddenly felt itchy.

Gu Qing drank a lot of wine. Xian Yu Zhongtong asked several times, but Gu Qing looked drunk and shakingly held his hand to talk about his love back then. He just kept snoring and didn't answer Xian Yu Zhongtong's questions. He asked anxiously, so Gu Qing simply snored and fell asleep.

The entire army was drunk and happy at the celebration banquet.

It was late at night and the generals in the commanding tent dispersed. Only then did Gu Qing open his eyes, his eyes as clear as a spring, and he was not drunk at all.

Walking out of the handsome tent, Gu Qing looked towards the night sky southwest and pursed his lips.
