It's nothing more than two preset options. No matter which Zhikai proposal Zhiyao agrees to, Zhikai who proposed the option will never lose money.
Regarding this kind of cunning, Zhiyao is not so sure about whether it is good or bad, but as a father, he feels family affection.
If she chooses deliberately, Zhiyao would actually prefer Zhikai to be a steadfast king.
When anyone creates an empire, the most important thing is the second generation. The first generation builds the empire, and the second generation defends it. There is no better way to pass on the empire.
After the birth of a country, the period when the second generation of kings is in office is often the most dangerous period, because not all the heroes and enemies of the first generation are necessarily dead.
Not only will the meritorious officials do whatever they want while resting on their merits, but they are also the most likely to have powerful officials. If the first-generation king also appoints a minister to entrust him, it will simply lead to the death of the king who succeeds.
The enemy cannot defeat the first generation, so it may be more than enough for them to hide in the dark and plot against the second generation. Moreover, with the negative assistance of those heroes to a certain extent, it is very likely that the country will become turbulent if they only add fuel to the flames.
Of course Zhiyao hopes that Zhikai understands military affairs, so as not to make a wrong judgment because he does not know anything about military affairs, and even needs to use the military but does not know how to use it.
On the other hand, Zhiyao hopes that Zhikai will not be obsessed with war, and even have a deeper understanding of what it means not to easily start a war.
You can start a war at any time, but it is not up to you to end the war.
Looking at the examples of orderly inheritance after the establishment of a country, most of the second-generation kings have basically made little military achievements, and they have created benevolent personalities for the second generation starting from the first generation.
Why does the second generation of kings need to have a benevolent personality? It may be that the first generation killed too much, had too much authority, was too majestic, etc. In short, it drove people to the point of breathlessness. Based on the principle of relaxation and moderation, when Relaxation in the second generation would be a good choice.
Therefore, when the first generation of kings thought of this, they realized the problem and understood its seriousness. The first thought that came to their mind was to teach the prince what the golden mean was.
Many people do not like the idea of the mean, and more radically, they think that adhering to the idea of the mean is an excuse for incompetence. This is because they have completely failed to understand what the idea of the mean is, and how terrible people who learn the idea of the mean will be.
Do you know how to become an old cunt? One of the things you must learn is the golden mean!
"Come south with me," Zhiyao said.
Zhikai was somewhat disappointed. Rather than going south to be a spectator, he hoped to lead an army on his own and make achievements.
Zhiyao could understand Zhikai's thoughts and said: "At that time, you will be the commander of a 'division' and you can also gallop on the battlefield."
Who has never been young? However, when people grow old, they often become the same people they hated when they were young.
Zhiyao knows very well that relying solely on oppression will be counterproductive, and is willing to spend more patience to watch Zhikai grow.
You want to make your own achievements, right? Young people all have this thought.
Zhiyao wants to keep Zhikai under her nose. When the time comes, Zhiyao will create a good enough environment for him to do whatever he wants.
The reason is that Zhiyao does not want Zhikai to be obsessed with war. The problem is that Zhikai must also have experience in war, so as not to be in a hurry after coming into contact with the monarchy.
There is such an example.
When the Qin army was invincible, Ma Fujun won a battle with the Qin army. Judging from the ratio of losses between the two sides, it really couldn't be called an epic battle, but it was because no one could defeat it. The Qin army was defeated by Ma Fujun. No one cared who Ma Fujun's opponent was. They only knew that Ma Fujun defeated the Qin army and created Ma Fujun's great reputation.
Ma Fujun was rumored to be so awesome that his son was burdened with a burden he couldn't bear. What's even more tragic is that he met a max-level boss just after leaving the Novice Village. How could it not be tragic!
What experience did Zhao Kuo have before this? He spent most of his time as the person in charge of the baggage train, and worked as a field officer in Dai. He had never had the experience of commanding a large army in combat.
To a certain extent, it is really remarkable that Zhao Kuo can command hundreds of thousands of people and arrange everything in an orderly manner!
Zhao Kuo is better than most generals just because he can command an army of hundreds of thousands. This is just because he can command an army of hundreds of thousands.
I specifically emphasize the number "hundreds of thousands" because the vast majority of generals can command at most two to thirty thousand people, and the ability to command hundreds of thousands is even more extraordinary.
Note that this is effective command, not the kind of command with a large number of people under his command.
Such a young man who just came out of Xinshou Village can even push the Qin Army veteran Wang Lu into such a state that the Qin State had to send Bai Qi to the rescue? Just ask, what can a young man commanding an army of hundreds of thousands for the first time do?
At that level, are you really incapable?
After the spring sowing, the army of the Yuan Kingdom assembled in "Puyang".
Before that, Zhiyao first took Zhikai to the east of "Handan", which was the Feixiang in later generations, to inspect the spring sowing situation.
This is not the first time Zhikai has visited Zhishi's main production area, but it is the first time he has followed his father Zhiyao.
During the inspection, Zhiyao repeatedly stressed to Zhikai the importance of food, extending to why Zhi's first five-year plan was implemented and how important the split second five-year plan was.
Food is of course very important, not just for the army. Once there is a food shortage, the country will be in turmoil.
At present, the largest grain-producing area in the original country is near "Handan", which was developed entirely by the Zhi family.
There are also two relatively large grain-producing areas in the original country: "Wen" land and "Yuan" land.
Once upon a time, just a "warm" place created an extremely powerful Que family, with 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers at all times and never having to worry about food shortages.
That "original" land is actually the old land of the original country, but it's just too old.
As one of the important grain-producing areas in the original country, the "Yuan" land lost slightly in grain production to the "Wen" land, and for a long time it was one of the Fan family's fiefdoms.
The Zhi family restored the original country, which gave the "original" land an additional political significance. Zhiyao should pay attention to it and not ignore it, otherwise it would leave a stain on the legal system. Just the term "Longxing Land" is very
Ridiculous.
When the two father and son arrived in "Puyang", about 50,000 troops were already stationed outside the city, and the main camp was set up at the west gate of the city.
"Your Majesty!"
The ministers welcomed Zhiyao and saluted him when they saw him.
The army still stayed in the camp and did not line up to welcome him.
Zhiyao looked up at the sky and said, "Let the army leave the camp."
Are you unhappy because you didn’t receive a grand reception? Pomp is not just pomp. In fact, many times it is necessary to create pomp, such as artificial majesty.
The current situation is that Zhiyao wants to teach Zhi a lesson.
Cheng Shuo, who served as Zhong Sima, saluted and responded: "No!"
Zhong Sima was one of the nine ministers of the original country. He was in charge of the national official title under the Zhou rites system and assisted in government affairs. He became the role of supervising military law. He also served as the supervisor of the country's prison and as one of the nine ministers.
complement each other.
First, the sound of drums was heard in one camp, and then the wind brought the sound of war drums being beaten in other directions, and the sound of war drums echoed throughout the field.
The soldiers who heard the drumbeat, no matter what they were doing before, packed up their uniforms as quickly as possible, put on their weapons, and lined up with Pao Ze in the aisle in front of the assigned tent.
Then, soldiers would stand in front of each tent, and then officers would come and take them to the school grounds to assemble.
A tent is actually a corps establishment, which means that each tent sleeps six people.
Why are there six people? Five soldiers and the captain of the unit.
Zhiyao has not made any changes to the army's organization for the time being. In fact, there is no need to change it. As a militarist state, the Jin State has been very mature in its organization. It has been repeatedly proven to have an advantage in the organization with that organization to deal with the current war.
, why bother to make modifications in order to show your uniqueness?
The war drums beat less than sixty times, and the first team came out from the open camp gate. They were cavalry riding horses and galloping. After leaving the camp, they immediately scattered to other places.
At the 120th bell, groups of soldiers formed their way out of the camp, and a huge formation was slowly formed.
"In every battle, reconnaissance cavalry must be sent out to patrol the surrounding area and monitor within thirty miles." Zhiyao said.
Zhikai has read military books!
In other words, Zhiyao wrote a lot of military training methods and common sense about military use, and the only person who could see it was Zhikai.
In terms of the types of military works published? The military books written by Zhiyao are more in line with the current era, that is, they are large and broad, with more chapters on strategy, but not much space on tactics, some on mountains and rivers and terrain, and no chapters on military training.
.
Most of Sun Wu's "Thirteen Chapters on the Art of War" also talks about strategy, and then emphasizes the importance of mountains and terrains in the use of troops. There is also a chapter on the human heart. There is a little chapter on the use of tactics, and some on military training.
Sima Ranju's The Art of War is more interesting. It emphasizes the importance of military discipline to the army, and mentions a lot of money and silk as the key. In fact, it is not wrong. The army's military discipline is strict, and the soldiers are armed to the teeth, which can achieve these two things.
If you point it out, it will undoubtedly be a strong army.
Who is Zhikai? He wants to read the book of war. He can read the works of contemporary military masters such as Zhiyao, Sun Wu and Sima Ranju. Each book contains the author's thoughts and views on the use of troops.
Of course, the same kind of knowledge can be learned by different people, and the nutrition gained depends on personal perception.
Now, Zhikai can see from the gathering troops that the army has the distinctive colors of Zhiyao.
How to say it? It can be summed up as "It is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, and as immovable as a mountain."
"Father has already mastered the art of military use. I asked the captain and lieutenant, and they drew on many of my father's battle examples when writing military books." Zhikai looked at Zhiyao's side face, his eyes full of admiration.
In fact, Zhiyao should have learned from the "ancients" in his use of troops. And quite a few "ancients" in their use of troops drew on the military ideas of Sun Wu or Sima Ranju.
In addition, Zhiyao often communicated with Sun Wu or Sima Ranju, so there must be shadows of each other.
In Zhikai's view, perhaps Sun Wu or Sima Ranju studied Zhiyao because one of his sons worshiped his father?
The army began to perform martial arts.
To put it bluntly, they changed their formations again and again under Zhiyao’s orders one after another.
"Come here." Zhiyao handed the flag to Zhikai.
The command flag is a thing with a pole about one meter long and a triangular flag. Each flag has a different color. If you are particular about it, you can even have "mythical beasts" embroidered on it.
When the commander holds this kind of command flag, there are people specifically watching here. They will see what color flag the commander holds and what kind of waving action he makes, and then pass on the relevant instructions.
In cold weapon warfare, it is common practice to use "sound" and "color" to convey instructions. "Sound" requires the messenger to find the person who accepts the order. It can also be a war drum, horn and other trumpets, while "color" is used to anticipate and tell the flag.
What color represents which command.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the army would carry hunting dogs. Talking about "sensual dogs and horses" was not necessarily a decadent lifestyle of indulgence and enjoyment, but could also be a display of war.
Zhikai didn't look unfamiliar, and he was manipulating the troops to perform martial arts with a serious expression.
In fact, it is the standing army of the Zhi clan. It can change formations according to various instructions from the commander. It may also be possible to switch to other troops, but the speed of changing formations and re-forming will definitely not be fast.
The standing army of the Zhi family is just a bowl of rice. They practice one small drill every three days and one drill every five days. Small drills are not necessarily drills for military formations, but big drills must be drills for military formations. Many soldiers hear what instructions
, I knew clearly in my mind what I should do.
Changing formations during a war? The armies of the current vassal states can do this, all because there are prerequisites for joining the army. They usually practice killing skills, enlist in the army more than once and receive gifts, and it becomes a natural habit.
There were many spies in "Puyang". They must have known about the big commotion caused by the former army, but they were not sure why the commotion was caused.
One thing that everyone can confirm is that the Yuan Kingdom will definitely make big moves next. In view of the fact that the Chu Kingdom is also preparing its troops, it is almost obvious what will happen next.
"The food and fodder can last for half a year for the army, and a steady stream of armor and equipment are coming." Sun Wu will also go south this time.
The original country had a grain-producing area near "Puyang", and the local area itself had grain reserves, so it would not be difficult to mobilize them.
In the same way, the distance between "Puyang" and "Ye" is closer than that of "Handan", so there is no difficulty in transporting ordnance.
The reason why grain and fodder are transported first is simply that in a stationed state, grain should be stored earlier than ordnance.
"Has the vanguard of the Chu army left the country?" Zhi Xuwu will also go south this time.
Sun Wu nodded first, and then talked about the Chu army's movements.
Sun Wu is a State Lieutenant, and he serves as a staff officer. A large amount of information sent will be sent to the State Lieutenant Office first, and will be sent to Zhiyao after screening and filtering.
Therefore, Sun Wu was not alone. The Imperial Office had a number of subordinates.
One thing that is taken for granted is that regardless of whether it is useful or not, every piece of information will be kept in duplicate, with one copy kept at the Imperial Office and the other sent to the palace for the eunuch's order.
Now do you know why the eunuch order seemed to have a high position and power in the Spring and Autumn Period? Because it is directly related to the quality of life of the king of a country, and also involves the control of a lot of information.
Half a month after Zhiyao arrived in "Puyang", all the conscripted troops arrived, and a vanguard took the lead to set off. Zhiyao's Chinese army also set off.
They will go to the territory of Zheng.
Before that, the Chu army was divided into two groups, and they deliberately walked around Shangqiu, the capital of Song State, and then met up with the main force entering the territory of Zheng State.
Currently, about 220,000 Chu troops have been stationed near "Xinzheng", and there are still Chu troops moving north one after another.
"The State of Yue has declared war on the State of Ju?" Zhiyao nodded after getting the answer.
Gou Jian did this because he wanted to avoid taking sides in the confrontation between the Yuan Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom. Why not take advantage of the inability of the two contemporary powerful countries to intervene to expand?
Another half month later.
Zhiyao led his army to "Tushi", which is about 20 miles away from "Xinzheng".
Prior to this, a Chu army numbering about 50,000 went to "Hulao" to provoke, but the guard who refused to give orders did not do anything extra.
"I thought there would be no peace along the way, and I never thought that the Chu army would not attack and harass us," Zhi Xuwu said.
Sun Wu said: "Our army is in good order, with reconnaissance cavalry and scouts everywhere."
That's the answer.
The army went out to conduct a rigorous reconnaissance of the surrounding area, and repeatedly confirmed the situation on the road ahead.
Many times it's just "I discovered you, and you discovered me." If you want to make some small moves, you should take it easy.
Zhikai hesitated for a moment, then said: "Who in the world doesn't know my father's ability in using military force."
Zhiyao, who was watching the intelligence from various countries, glanced at Zhikai, and her eyes fell on a piece of intelligence again.
"The Qin State raised 50,000 troops, and the Dai State raised 20,000 troops, and combined their forces to invade the western part of the original country."
Yuan Guo's investigation into the north yielded a rather strange clue: Zhao did not seem to be acting alone, and there was no sign of large army activities in the north.
"The reconnaissance cavalry has traveled hundreds of miles across the country to conduct reconnaissance, or is there no trace of military activity at all?"
Considering the speed of the cavalry on their short journey, Zhiyao thought that Zhao Wuxie was up to something.
That is an obvious thing. Launching an attack on the Yuan Kingdom from multiple fronts will involve far more energy and military strength than attacking only from the south and west.
They are a coalition force with three command centers.
This is also one of the difficulties for a country facing multiple countries. There are only so many talents. Even if the troops and resources are sufficient, who will command which army is an issue that must be considered.
The coalition has multiple command centers, each of which is a part of itself, and the people who command operations will also be the elite of their own country.
In any case, Zhiyao had already made arrangements in advance, and any changes were made only after problems might arise on a certain front.
The armies of Yuan and Chu faced each other about twenty miles apart.
The army brought by Zhiyao had just completed its encampment when an envoy from Chu State came over.
It was Ziqi who came, and he was no stranger to the Yuan Kingdom. When he saw Zhiyao, he did not salute. The first thing he asked was: "The Yuan Kingdom only has 70,000 people from the Yuan Kingdom, but the Yuan Kingdom is in an embarrassing situation?"
The subtext is that the Chu State will have an army of more than 300,000 this time. Compared with the Chu State, it is more like a huge country.
Zhiyao didn't know how to respond. It really wasn't Ziqi's words that hurt him. Sometimes the difference between a monarch and his ministers should be emphasized.
A young man from the Zhi family laughed first, and then said: "May I ask, Chu Zi has become a barbarian again?"
Well!?
