This young man called Wei Liao had his own understanding of war. He had his own strategy to strengthen his troops and his own strategy for war. This was different from the art of war, because the art of war was explained by war formations and methods of fighting, but what Wei Liao said was more inclined to explain war. He was explaining war and the essence of war. Zhao Kuo had talked about the relationship between politics and war, but now, the young man explained this in detail again.

Wei Liao talked about how a country should obtain a strong army, how to conduct wars, when to fight, and when not to fight, including the impact of arable land and household registration on the war. Zhao Kuo felt that he was not a general, he was more like a military strategist. He had his own war theory and a mature military system, which was a very rare thing.

Wei Liao said: "The command of a general in a war is very important. The general and the soldiers must be coordinated and consistent like the heart and limbs, so as to become a whole, so that they can make a clever and decisive command." He believed that whether a general is qualified depends on his command ability. The command ability is not eternal. If a general from Qin goes to Zhao, it is likely to be defeated due to inability to coordinate, so the general and the soldiers need to be adjusted.

Hearing his words, Ying Zheng said, "You said that the general needs to work with his soldiers before he can win the enemy. However, Wu Chengjun was originally the commander of Zhao, but he defeated the coalition forces with Qin soldiers. How do you explain this?" Wei Liao was a little surprised. Although Ying Zheng always sat here to attend class, he did not value the King of Qin very much in his heart. After all, he was too young. These days, he has been observing Zhao Kuo, but instead ignored the little King of Qin.

At this moment, when he heard the King of Qin ask, he dared not be too rude. He leaned over and bowed, and then said, "Before the war, Wu Chengjun must have used some method to quickly complete the running-in, otherwise he would not be able to defeat the coalition." Zhao Kuo then smiled and said, "He said it was right. When I went to Yin Jin, I wanted to command the Qin army by commanding the Zhao army, but found that this was impossible..."

"So, I adopted the strategy they were most familiar with, and then completed the initial running-in. In the subsequent battle, I told the two generals about the strategy and let them fight alone without too much interference."

Wei Liao couldn't help but sigh: "So I say that no general in the world can compare to you."

Listening to the conversation between Zhao Kuo and Wei Liao, the disciples around him found that they could not interfere at all. They were not qualified to enter such a debate. Wei Liao continued to ask: "Wu Chengjun believes that what is the reason why the Qin army is powerful?"

"It's because of the system."

Wei Liao was stunned. Zhao Kuo was a little snatched up the lines. Wei Liao thought for a moment before saying: "I think the strength of the Qin army, as you said, is because of the Qin army's legal system, and the strict law enforcement and uniformity of law enforcement, which makes the Qin army dare to cross mountains, cross rivers and fight, and can attack solid cities from thousands of miles away, so that no one dares to stop him. Those who violate military discipline and military orders should be severely punished! Severely punish defeated, surrendered, and fled generals and soldiers, so that the upper and lower levels will be afraid and focused on the enemy!"

He said: "In addition to the legal system, we also need to constantly change our tactics and make our tactics more advanced. The advanced arrays I know are introverted and outgoing; there are standing arrays, and there are sitting in charge..." For some reason, the Terracotta Warriors suddenly appeared in Zhao Kuo's mind, because when he was simulating the array as Wei Liao said, he suddenly realized that such arrays resembled the formation of later generations of Terracotta Warriors.

Wei Liao said again: "You used to talk about the relationship between military and politics with others. I deeply agree with it. I think both of them are like the torso and seeds of plants. The so-called war means using powerful force as their body, politics as their seeds, and force as their appearance, while politics is the essence... Without good politics, there cannot be strong military power, and military is a means to solve political problems."

"Production has the most important significance to the military. If you want to win the war, you need to be able to govern the country well and pay attention to farming. Only when the country is prosperous and strong can the army become strong. A country without a strong internal affairs system cannot win the war."

Zhao Kuo nodded seriously. For Zhao Kuo, what Wei Liao said is actually not difficult to understand. Zhao Kuo has read a lot of military tactics and participated in many wars. Combined with the content he learned in later generations, the strategies and tactics mentioned by Wei Liao may be really inferior to Sun and Wu. But when Zhao Kuo heard what Wei Liao said about economic warfare, he realized that the person in front of him was extraordinary.

Although his theory seems a bit immature to Zhao Kuo, he has his own ideas, such as the relationship between politics and military, the relationship between economy and military, and the relationship between education and military. These things were quite advanced in this era, and what Zhao Kuo admired the most was the "Separation and Sub-district Order", which is a battalion division order that stipulates the defense areas and communication principles of each army's sub-district division.

There is also the "Jings and Pirate Order", which is a combat formation order that the unique military flag symbols of each army, the ranks of soldiers and different squad units wear different badges, etc.

Wei Liao's thoughts gave Zhao Kuo a new inspiration, and he immediately thought of military rank. Speaking of which, it is still easy for the soldiers of Qin to distinguish. They can get the title by their head crowns, but it is not that easy to distinguish clearly during wars. After all, most of them would not choose to wear the crown during wars. Zhao Kuo nodded after listening to Wei Liao saying all the thoughts in his heart.

Wei Liao looked at him and then asked with a smile: "What do you think I said?"

"You said it very well... just a few points, I want to explain it for you."

Wei Liao was stunned and then said, "Please tell me."

"You mentioned that you should make up for politics through military methods, but you did not mention that you should make up for the military. When Wu'an Jun was in Qin, he attacked other countries, but Yinghou was in charge of Qin. He used political means to put pressure on various countries and alienate... Therefore, political power and conspiracy are also a part of the impossible vacant war." Zhao Kuo continued to talk about Wei Liao's shortcomings in several aspects.

Including his battle formation and strategy, Wei Liao had never fought a war, and he was not old, which made his theory not fully mature, and there were still many gaps and loopholes. Of course, this is not a big problem, after all, people will grow up. When Zhao Kuo put forward his own suggestions, Wei Liao was not angry or ashamed. He wrote down what Zhao Kuo said very seriously.

Zhao Kuo looked at him, then smiled and said, "Tomorrow, you can go with me to visit the Prime Minister." Wei Liao hurriedly thanked him. Zhao Kuo then asked the other disciples to leave, leaving Wei Liao behind, it seemed that he wanted to continue discussing the matter. On the way to leave, Changpingjun was very hostile to the young man. He said to the King of Qin: "What he did before was not to correct the teacher's shortcomings, he just wanted the teacher to recommend him."

Ying Zheng disagreed. He chuckled and said, "A person with talent does not find a way to display his talents. Do you still have to wait for God to give him the opportunity? I think there is nothing wrong with what he did... My father agrees with his opinion very much, so this person must be capable." Changpingjun didn't say anything more. He looked at Gongzi Zeng on the side, and then asked, "That person has a Wei accent, just like you, do you know him?"

Young Master Zeng was stunned, thought for a moment, and then said, "I don't know him, but his accent is indeed Daliang..." Several people continued walking, Young Master Zeng suddenly spoke again, "However, even if you knew him in the past, you probably forgot now. I can't remember my mother's appearance... When my mother passed away, I couldn't go back... I haven't seen my father for many years... I don't know how he is..."

Changpingjun suddenly became a little silent.

Ying Zheng felt this change and hurriedly said, "By the way, my father said you can follow me to stay at home for a few days..." Ying Zheng looked at Qi, Changpingjun was stunned, and asked, "Teacher, he really agreed?" Ying Zheng laughed, "Of course, this is not a big deal. For example, my senior brothers live by my father all year round, asking him for advice, including my senior brother, so he just ate and drank by his father. After several years of meals, he ate a lot..."

"Cough cough..." Changpingjun started coughing.

Ying Zheng turned his head and happened to see Han Fei standing not far away. He frowned and his face was a little dark.

"Ah, senior brother, why are you here?"

"You...you...you...you...you say...who is eating and drinking?"

......

Wei Liao was from Wei. When he went to pay homage to King Wei, the King of Wei did not care about him. He just cared about "quarrels" with Long Yangjun. This made Wei Liao feel that he was despised and thought that King Wei was not a worthy king, so he left Wei. He then arrived in Zhao. In Zhao, he heard of King Zhao's bad reputation and then came to Qin without stopping.

Through the Qin State's migrant system, he passed the review and obtained land. He even entered the school to study because he knew the writing. He was a nobleman of Wei State. Aristocrats like him who took the initiative to serve in the State can usually receive good treatment. Even if he could show his greater talent, he could still stay in Qin State as a guest minister. However, Wei Liao was not interested in these things, he was just looking at the Qin State's system.

Immediately, he discovered that the Qin State's farming and warfare system was the most compatible with his military theory.

In order to show his ambitions, he finally thought of becoming an official through the influence of Wu Chengjun. He came to Zhao Kuo's school room. Unfortunately, he was a little fascinated by listening to the class. He stayed here for more than four months, but forgot his original purpose. Until today, Zhao Kuo talked about the soldiers of benevolence and righteousness, he woke up and deliberately attracted Zhao Kuo's attention, hoping that Zhao Kuo could recommend him.

Zhao Kuo also understood his idea, but since he was talented, Zhao Kuo was willing to recommend him. Zhao Kuo brought him to Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei was also a little surprised to see Zhao Kuo bringing a young man, but Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "The Qin State has many brave generals, but there is only a wise man who formulates military laws and improves the military system."

"Wei Liao, who followed me today, is such a person..." Zhao Kuo commented a few times, and his evaluation was indeed very high, which made Lu Buwei feel very curious about this young man. The young man paused and knew that it was his own assessment time. Lu Buwei asked him a few questions with a smile, from the current military system of Qin, to the future strategy of Qin, and even to the training system, to the composition of soldiers, the advancement of the army, and the formulation of tactics...

From the initial test to the end, Lu Buwei was really asking questions. No matter what he asked, Wei Liao could answer it, and it could satisfy both Lu Buwei and Zhao Kuo.

All of this made Lu Buwei sigh: He is really worthy of being recommended by Wu Chengjun.

This question and answer lasted for a long time. After Wei Liao answered all the questions, Lu Buwei reached out, held his hand, and said to him: "Please stay in Qin State... There are such talents in the country but they are not promoted earlier. This is my fault as the prime minister. Please forgive me." Lu Buwei really did not hesitate when doing things. Lu Buwei directly gave an order, and arranged the young man to the Taiwei's side and became the Taiwei's deputy.

After Wei Liao left, Lu Buwei looked at Zhao Kuo and said with a smile: "I still need more talented people to assist the king and govern Qin. I wonder if you have any other people you can recommend?" This is the first time Zhao Kuo has come to recommend talents. Lu Buwei showed enough attention. Zhao Kuo thought about it seriously and then said: "Jun Changping, he is serious in his work. If he is tempered at the bottom for a period of time, he will definitely achieve great success."

Lu Buwei hesitated for a moment before saying with a smile: "He is the son of the current King of Chu. He may have to go back to inherit the throne in the future, but I am afraid that Qin will not be able to keep him."

"He grew up in Chu State... I don't think he has much affection for the King of Chu, I'm afraid he doesn't have the intention to return to Chu State to inherit the throne."

"By the way, do you already know about General Lian Po's departure?"

"Do you think we can invite General Lian Po to Qin?"
