In the Qi camp, Qi Lu came back from seeing King Wuyou and asked how he found the dragon vein. King Wuyou just said: Those masters were attracted by some magical power and were taken there.
, and then determined the location. Qi Lu was convinced and said: "Okay, okay, we finally didn't come in vain."
King Wuyou asked him what he had been doing in the camp these days. Qi Lu proudly told King Wuyou how he had led his troops to set up formations outside the city in accordance with the military strategy in the past few days.
drill.
King Wuyou asked curiously: "Oh, how is your formation practice going?"
Qi Lu said: "I set up a two-dragon water formation and practiced for three days. I have achieved some success. Brother Si, please accompany me to see it!"
King Wuyou couldn't bear to dampen his enthusiasm, and nodded in agreement, saying that he would go and see it when he was familiar with it. But now he wanted to take a rest. After saying that, he changed his clothes and returned to Qi Ci Fang.
Qi Lu was extremely happy after receiving King Wuyou's approval, and he was even more enthusiastic about training. He led a team of troops outside the city to form formations all day long, changing formations, attacking, and closing formations, and practiced in this way.
Very happy.
When King Wuyou returned to Qi Ci Fang, he stayed in the room with Ying'er for a whole day.
The next day, until three o'clock in the morning, the two of them did not go out. ** and Mingliang had to carry breakfast in and out a few times. Later, Li Long couldn't help it and deliberately stepped up and down the stairs. Wuyou
Wang Cai got dressed angrily and came out, pointed at Li Long and chased her, trying to pull her ears. Seeing that the trouble was successful, Li Long was naturally excited, giggled and ran into the yard to hide.
When ** saw King Wuyou getting up, he went to help Ying'er get up and change clothes. However, looking at Ying'er's appearance, her temples were messy, her face was red with shame, her eyes were blurred, and she seemed to be unable to get up. ** asked: "Princess
Should I eat something in bed first, or eat it when I get up later?"
When Ying'er saw ** coming in, she pulled the quilt over her face, revealing only her big eyes and lazily refusing to speak. ** then chuckled, covered Ying'er's exposed feet with the quilt, and then turned around
Go out, close the door, and wait in the room outside.
King Wuyou ate the breakfast brought by Mingliang in the outer room. He stretched and asked **: "Is the princess not up yet?" ** smiled and nodded. King Wuyou also smiled brightly and ordered: "Then
Just let her sleep for a while, and when she wakes up, ask her what she wants to eat and make it quickly. I'll go to the front to take a look and stop by the military camp. I don't know how Qi Lu's formation practice has been in the past two days!
"
After that, he looked at the back room and went downstairs with a smile.
The business in Qi Ci Fang is still as usual, not prosperous, but people come from time to time. When the shopkeeper Liu saw King Wuyou approaching at the counter, he put down his account book and hurriedly came out to greet him, asking: "Young master, come and see."
Look, let’s sit down and have a cup of tea first.”
King Wuyou saw that all the waiters were busy and there was no one else around him, so he said softly: "Go find someone to prepare some things, and be sure not to be known to others." Then he whispered in the ear of the shopkeeper Liu. After that, he said:
Looking at the shopkeeper Liu, the shopkeeper Liu nodded and said: "Don't worry, young master. I will handle this matter myself." King Wuyou nodded and said with a smile: "You can do it, I will go outside and look around.
, Young Madam is staying here these days, you have to work harder and prepare everything you need."
The shopkeeper Liu quickly said: "Young master, don't worry, I will take care of this without your explanation. Miss Ming also came over a long time ago and said that I went to the best stores to buy everything I needed.
Then let Miss Ming decide and buy two copies."
King Wuyou said: "Okay, just let them do it carefully. Then buy more fresh fruits and send them to the back." After explaining these, King Wuyou waved his hand to Lu Zheng behind him, and the two of them started talking.
They walked out of the store together. There was a waiter at the door who had prepared the horses, and the two of them rode towards the military camp.
When they arrived at the Qi army camp, King Wuyou saw that there were not many soldiers in the camp, so he knew that most of them had been taken outside the city by Qi Lu. So he changed his armor with Lu Zheng's badge, took a dozen guards and went straight to the outside of the city.
martial arts arena.
It was late autumn at this time, the sky was high and the clouds were clear, and the weather was pleasant. Qi Lu, with 500 crossbowmen, infantry, and 500 light cavalry, were practicing formations. King Wuyou saw the Yan Army, Qin Army and others in the distance.
Chen Jun's generals looked at him, but they only smiled lightly and didn't care.
When Qi Lu saw King Wuyou coming, he came up to meet him and said excitedly: "Brother Si, this is my newly rehearsed formation. Come and have a look."
King Wushu arrived in front of the formation and saw that the formation was complete: infantry in the middle, one hundred crossbowmen in front, one hundred spearmen behind; then there were shield bearers, and behind them were one hundred spearmen and swordsmen.
Axeman; two hundred light cavalry on each wing; the main flag is guarded by one hundred light cavalry.
King Wuyou nodded and said: "This wild goose wing formation is quite impressive. It seems that the tactics and tactics you learned earlier can be used in actual combat. I just don't know what will happen if it is used in action?"
Seeing King Wuyou saying this, Qi Lu seemed to have been prepared, so he rode back to the general's position, waved the command flag, and the soldiers in formation changed their formations as the command flag changed: the crossbowmen made shooting movements.
, and then quickly retreated; the spearman also made a throwing motion. As he retreated; the shield hand held the big shield and shouted rhythmically and pushed forward; the spearman waited for the big shield to stand up, and also set up his spear;
The swordsmen and axemen rushed out from both sides; the cavalry on both wings also moved forward to outflank them, forming a formation that was both offensive and defensive.
King Wuyou nodded with satisfaction. Qi Lu rode his horse up again and asked: "Brother Si, do you think my formation is activated?" King Wuyou smiled and said to him: "Yours
The formation is quite satisfactory, very good!”
"Really?!" Qi Lu asked happily with surprise in his eyes.
King Wuyou looked at his appearance, nodded seriously, and said seriously: "Really!"
Qi Lu rode his horse back to the military formation and raised the flag in his hand. Immediately, the soldiers returned to their own troops and stood in order. King Wuyou urged his horse to step forward, stood in front of the soldiers, and said:
"We have been practicing with Prince Qilu these days. The formations have changed wonderfully, and we can also give orders and prohibitions, which is great. That's all for today's practice. Let's go back to camp and rest."
Qi Lu looked back at King Wuyou and whispered with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Si, I want to practice for a while longer!"
King Wuyou said: "There is no hurry for now, we still have time. Now I have more important things to do with you." Hearing that King Wuyou wanted to do more important things with him, Qi Lu suddenly
No longer complaining, he handed the flag to a general and rode his horse to the side of King Wuyou.
King Wuyou pointed at the soldiers of Yan, Qin, and Chen in the distance and said, "Did you see it? They are watching you while you are practicing here. You don't want to be imitated by them!"
Qi Lu suddenly understood, nodded repeatedly, and said, "I was so focused on practicing that I didn't even notice them."
When King Wuyou saw that the passers-by had seen him pointing at them and left one after another, he snorted softly. Then he said to Qi Lu, "Come on and come alone with me. I'll tell you something."
The two soldiers and horses were walking, with Lu Zheng and more than a dozen guards following behind. The group of people walked to the river outside the city. On the way, King Wuyou said to Qi Lu: "Soldiers are a major event for the country." Qi Lu casually said
Then he said: "The place of life and death, the way of survival and death, must be investigated." Then he recited an article "The Beginning Plan" loudly.
King Wuyou listened, nodded, and said: "It's good that you know this. There are many formations that have evolved since the Warring States Period. Most of the good soldiers in ancient times learned the art of war and strategies, but when it comes to war,
Victory or defeat, success or failure cannot be determined by one battle, one battle, or one general."
As King Wuyou spoke, he looked at Qi Lu and asked: "There is a saying in the art of war: Those who are good at fighting can subdue their troops without fighting! To subdue without fighting, you rely on strategy, but also rely on power. Planning matters depends on people.
, But success depends on heaven; and momentum depends on the strength of the country, on outnumbering the enemy's troops, on the rigor of running the army, on the skill of the soldiers and the bravery of the generals; on the formation as you have drilled."
After hearing this, Qi Lu asked: "What do you mean, Brother Si, the formation I am practicing will not be of much use in war?"
King Wushu looked at the woods on the other side of the river and said: "The formation is important, but it cannot be restricted. Look at the trees on the opposite side. They are immobile and can only be cut down by others. But if they are the enemy's soldiers,
They will fight back, retreat, and clash left and right. Then your army will be disrupted."
Qi Lu understood somewhat after hearing this, nodded and looked across.
King Wuyou continued: "You have to change accordingly. If the soldiers are constrained by the formation, once they are disrupted, they will not know how to respond to the enemy. To practice the formation, I think it is to train the soldiers' conduct and train them to follow orders and prohibitions.
, to convey military orders between the training commander and his soldiers.”
Seeing that Qi Lu was said to be a little uninterested, he smiled and said: "Do you think the training these days is useless because of what I said? In fact, it is very useful. Because you happened to confuse several other soldiers!"
When Qi Lu heard this, he became energetic and asked: "Brother Si, what are you talking about? Do you want me to practice the formation because you want me to confuse Yan Jun and others!"
King Wuyou nodded and said: "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Naturally, they want to know our combat strength and training. When you set up formations and train with such great fanfare, they thought we were demonstrating to them. But when they saw
If we stick to our position, we will be underestimating the enemy. You must remember that the reason why our Qi army is invincible and invincible is because our Qi army’s crossbows are the strongest in all countries. Before the battle, our
The crossbows have already wounded nearly half of the enemy; and our light cavalry is the most elite among the countries in the Central Plains, and they have strong combat power in battles and battlefields for many years. That is why we can win repeatedly."
After hearing this, Qi Lu had an epiphany and said: "Brother Si, I understand. Treat the enemy as an enemy and confuse the enemy. The real weapon for victory will not show the enemy easily, right!"
King Wuyou patted him on the shoulder with admiration and said: "Brother Lu, you are going to become a general, and you will also have to face the enemy in battle in the future. Remember, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose at the moment. As long as you have troops, you can do anything at any time.
Destroy your enemies. But you must first learn how to make your soldiers fear you, obey you, and make them sacrifice their lives for you!"
