Chapter 331 Xiang Yus tactics and Weis sudden change
Seeing that his eldest nephew showed no repentance, Xiang Liang was so angry that his fat face was grunting in anger.
[This guy is not like my elder brother!]
"Okay, okay, since you have said it again and again, I won't make it difficult for you to recite it all. You can recite "The Art of War" to me!"
"The Art of War" was written by Sun Wu, the founder of the military strategist, and every military strategist cannot escape it.
Memorizing "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is an extremely basic test for those who study the art of war. Xiang Liang's request is not only not excessive, but also too basic.
In ancient times, there were few people who read wisely, the bamboo slips that carried the text were not convenient to carry and write, and there was no movable type printing technology. As a result, there were very few books in the Qin Dynasty, so few that Ying Chenglong had them on the market before he was twenty years old.
I have read all the books I can see.
No matter which school of thought you choose, because there are only a few books that you can read and learn from, memorizing your own classics is a fundamental thing.
Generals like Li Mu, Wang Jian, and Meng Tian can all recite the entire "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu and "The Art of War by Wu Zi".
Both pupils dilated at the same time, Xiang Yu seemed to be startled.
"Uncle, isn't this difficult for Yu? Yu can't do it."
"Then just memorize "Wu Zi's Art of War", okay?"
"No, Yu can't carry it."
Xiang Liang never thought that his nephew could memorize it. He had read almost all military classics in eight days. How could it be possible?
"I can't memorize "Sun Tzu's Art of War", and I can't memorize "Wu Zi's Art of War" either. Does that mean you've read it all?"
Sun Wu, a military sage.
Wu Qi, a military strategist and a sub-sage.
The art of war made by these two people cannot be memorized, let alone the other people's. The foundation has not been laid well, and high-rise buildings cannot be built.
Xiang Yu was very strange. The boy who was born with supernatural powers suspected that his uncle was deliberately looking for trouble.
"Yu only said that Yu had read it, but he didn't say that he could recite it. Yu indeed read it all once."
"...You only watched it once and you dare to say you have seen it all?"
"Why don't Yu dare to say it? Yu indeed read it all."
Xiang Liang is angry.
Read the book a hundred times, and its meaning will become apparent to you.
Xiang Liang thought that he had seen it, which meant remembering and understanding it, while his eldest nephew said that he had seen it, which meant he had simply seen it.
You can't learn any theory like this, just read it once and say you won't read it again. Good books not only need to be read repeatedly, but also need to be practiced to know the true meaning.
Xiang Liang has never seen another madman like Xiang Yu who talks about learning the art of war, and then casually flips through all the art of war and says that he has finished learning it and that it will be useless if he continues to learn it.
People who can afford to read may not like to read, but at least they know that those who can read are all talented people, and they dare not say that they will know the true meaning after reading it once.
People who cannot afford to read can't even read books, so naturally they can't speak such crazy words.
The angry Xiang Liang decided to teach his eldest nephew a big lesson, letting him know that there is a world outside the sky, there are people outside the world, and a man must know how to be humble!
He took off his belt and put it on the table to use as a city, took out gold from his arms as soldiers to defend the city, and took out three times the amount of gold as soldiers to attack the city.
After briefly explaining to my eldest nephew what belt, gold, and money represented, he asked coldly:
"You have to defend or attack."
"Anything is OK."
Xiang Yu didn't care.
"Arrogant! I defend and you attack. I want to see how you learn the art of war."
Xiang Liang sat on the seat with a cold face.
Although he felt that his nephew could not win both offensively and defensively, for the sake of stability, he chose to defend the city.
"The Art of War by Sun Tzu, in the Chapter "Planning an Attack", says: Therefore, the method of using troops is to surround an enemy ten times, attack it five times, and divide it if it is doubled.
Avoid it. Therefore, the small enemy is strong and the big enemy can be captured.
"The number of troops attacking the city today is three times the number of troops defending the city. If you study it carefully, you will know that the side that defends the city will naturally win."
Xiang Yu listened to his uncle's teachings and put them in his left ear and out in his right ear. He took out his ears and flicked away the earwax, picked up a piece of money and said:
"Uncle is ready, my nephew is going to attack the city."
After that, he pushed the coin straight towards the belt that symbolized the city.
"A soldier? Killed by an archer."
Xiang Liang couldn't understand what his nephew was up to, and how useless a soldier was.
"You can't be shot to death."
Xiang Yu continued to advance money.
"How come you can't shoot to death!"
Xiang Liang is so angry that I can't kill you as a soldier? This is a deduction, not a rant!
"This money is for me."
"..."
Xiang Yu's words of support did not make Xiang Liang's anger subside even a little bit, but instead intensified.
In this era, there was no way of fighting with generals charging forward. In fact, in China's feudal history, there were very few generals who led the charge.
He is a qualified general who sits in the main tent of the central army, uses flags to direct the movement of troops and horses, calculates the weather, observes the favorable terrain, and takes advantage of unprepared attacks.
"Shoot and kill."
Xiang Liang gritted his teeth and said.
If one arrow can't kill you, then a bunch of arrows will kill you.
"The horse is dead, dismount and march."
Xiang Yu's speed of pushing the money slowed down by more than half, but he still continued to push.
[Zanshe can only shoot your horse? What are you talking about!]
Furious, Xiang Liang held down his nephew's hand to prevent the coin from traveling further.
"You are dead."
"I'm not dead. An arrow can't kill me."
"Why can't an arrow kill you?"
"The arrow flies so slowly, how could it kill me?"
Xiang Yu was very serious and pushed away Uncle Wuyu's pressing hand.
With one hand, continue to push the money that represents your own money, and with the other hand, move all the money that is three times the amount of money forward.
"Morale is boosted and the whole army goes out to attack."
A piece of money, leading a group of money, was pushed all the way to the waistband and stopped under Xiang Liang's dull gaze.
Xiang Liang thought that his nephew finally realized what he was doing and his expression softened a little.
"Build a pontoon bridge and cross the moat."
This pause is because it will take some time to build the floating bridge.
Xiang Liang was numb.
Maybe my nephew Si Liu didn't understand. He also knew that there was a moat under the city. Soldiers and horses were blocked by the moat, and it would take time to build a pontoon bridge to cross.
My nephew understands, what kind of good person can lead the charge and say something stupid like being shot by an arrow? Chongtong is also a human being, how can anyone not be shot to death by an arrow?
"Uncle, why don't you shoot arrows and pour gold juice to stop me? If you keep looking at me like this, I will come to your city."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The golden juice here is not real golden juice, but boiled dung water.
The 100-degree golden juice will not only cause psychological discomfort to people, but will also leave large areas of burns and burns on the attackers, causing strong physical discomfort.
Xiang Yu looked at his silent uncle strangely and signaled that if you don't move, you will lose.
"The city is three feet high. Even if you come to the city, how can you get down to my city? Use a ladder?"
Xiang Liang said reluctantly.
"It is also."
Xiang Yu nodded.
Xiang Liang felt that his nephew was finally reliable.
"Shooting shots, splashing gold juice, and throwing rolling stones."
"Raise your shield and ascend the city."
"The shield to protect against gold juice is so heavy and thick that it is difficult for ordinary people to hold it on a city wall with one hand. How can it protect against rolling stones?"
"The feather can move."
Xiang Liang was speechless again and remained silent for a moment.
"Push the ladder, cut the ladder."
"That's too late."
The first coin passed through the belt, and then rushed left and right among the piles of gold, knocking all the gold away and clearing a large area behind the belt.
"While my uncle was pushing forward with his troops and cutting down the ladders, Yu had already ascended the city and was killing them at the top of the city."
Xiang Yu grabbed the remaining money and scattered it behind his belt.
"The city head has been lost, and Yu's army has boarded the city head. With three times the force, it is very easy to get down to the city."
Xiang Liang really wants to give his nephew a slap in the face. Do you think this is just playing house? Do you also play like this on the real battlefield?
But thinking of his eldest brother who died in the battle, and seeing his nephew's double eyes, he couldn't raise his hand.
"...If you were asked to defend the city and encounter an attacker like you, how would you respond?"
Use the other person's way to repay the other person's body.
Xiang Liang wanted to see if he could break Xiang Yu's unreasonable style of play.
"Open the city gate and fuck him!"
Xiang Yu did it without thinking.
"No one can defeat Yu."
Covering his forehead, Xiang Liang stood up shakily and separated Xiang Yu's supporting hand.
[Brother, Liang really can’t teach this nephew! I don’t want to be angry with this guy today!]
…………
Zhao Di, Wei Di.
In addition to Han, they are two lands adjacent to Guanzhong. Qin's management of these two lands is much better than Chu, Qi, and Yan.
At least there will be no such incident in Kuaiji County where a wooden sign with a reward for Xiang Liang is hung on the city wall, and Xiang Liang lives an upright and unrestrained life in Kuaiji County and is prosperous.
Being so close to Guanzhong, the nobles who were entrusted here by the First Emperor would not dare to defy the rules and make the First Emperor angry. Each one of them went all out to suppress the local nobles and govern the place.
Therefore, Xianyang's orders were first implemented in Zhao and Wei after leaving Guanzhong.
Zhao and Wei experienced several large-scale killings.
The massacre that had the greatest impact on Wei was the follow-up to Shu Tongwen.
The First Emperor ordered that anyone who writes in simplified Chinese characters should be killed, anyone who teaches others knowledge should be killed, and anyone who writes in non-simplified Chinese characters should be killed.
What kind of place is Wei? It is a geomantic treasure land that produces talents for governing the world.
Wu Qi, Sun Bin, Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, Le Yi, Fan Sui, Xinling Lord Wei Wuji, etc., etc., no matter which country they served in the end, these great talents all served for Wei in the beginning.
Such a top class in the Warring States Period, which had produced countless great talents, suddenly received an order from above to stop studying.
The original Wei Wen was not allowed to be written, and he was allowed to write in simplified Chinese characters. Except for books on agriculture and medicine that were useful for daily life, he was not allowed to read those miscellaneous books on governing the world. All of them were handed over and burned.
What's going on?!
Wei Di is in trouble.
The local aristocratic family quit their job.
They united together to resist secretly and defied the rule of law.
The nobles of the Qin State who were sent by the First Emperor are very happy. My dear, before the world was not unified, you could temporarily take care of it for a period of time. Now that your Majesty has granted this place to us as a territory, you still dare to prick it? I can't kill you!
The nobles of Qin, who were worried that they had no grand reason to purge the local nobles, tried their best to attack the local nobles of Wei as if they were given blood.
The local nobles in Wei were not vegetarians, and many of them also had official positions. Before the First Emperor was sent abroad, the local nobles in Wei had always been officials.
After the foreign Qin nobles arrived, although they were nominally the lords of the territory, they could not defeat the local snakes. These local nobles united together, and the feudal nobles barely gained the upper hand.
This advantage meant that hundreds of lives were lost, and many local nobles lost their lives in this war.
However, compared with the local nobles, the illiterate people of Wei State were even worse, and more of their people died.
Theoretically, the book Tongwen would not have much impact on the people, but in fact, this turmoil, which should only affect the nobles of Wei, made the people of Wei change their minds about the book.
The nobles of Wei dragged the people into this war.
They guide people to express their grievances against simplified characters. For example, is this also called a character?
They teach children free of charge how to read and read, read hundreds of books, and learn the Chinese characters of Wei.
They either used money or food to lure the people, or forced the people to hide forbidden books for them that should be burned, but they didn't hide any of them in their own homes.
If the feudal nobles were open to the people of Wei, they would kill snakes and stick them on their sticks, using the people as shields to block the book-burning tyranny.
If the feudal nobles massacre the people of Han, then the people of Wei will become more hostile to the feudal nobles. The feudal nobles will further lose their popular base, and it will be more difficult to seize power from them.
The feudal nobles from Qin State chose the second option, killing.
Legalism was deeply rooted in the Qin State, and Legalist ideas were deeply rooted in the hearts of the Qin people.
Faced with this group of Wei people who were subjugated, the feudal nobles who had never punished everyone would kill one person if they saw one disobeying the order, kill a pair if they saw two people disobeying the order, and trap and kill a group of people if they saw the disobedience of the order.
The executioner's sword was curled up, the land outside the city was covered with new soil, and the people of Wei were so scared that they dared not speak, and their color changed when talking about books, and their color changed when talking about Qin.
The people are under the rule of the nobles. If the nobles are unlucky, how can the people be better?
When things are prosperous, the people suffer.
Death, people suffer.
The feudal nobles who were accustomed to strong suppression were very satisfied with the attack on the local nobles. They knew that many of the Korean people were induced and wronged.
But being able to be induced by local nobles and go against them is a crime.
They know that the Korean people are very hostile to them, so what? As long as they get rid of all the local nobles, these Wei people will accept and get used to their rule.
When Lord Shang first implemented the new law, many people died.
The later paper spread from Han and quickly became popular in Wei. The death toll in Wei was not as high as that of the book, but it was still not less.
This kind of paper is light, fast and easy to write on, and can perfectly replace bamboo slips. It is deeply loved by the nobles of Wei State. In order to be able to use it, they can test it with the blood of Wei people.
Between these two killings, there was also a new policy that implemented the same laws and regulations as Guanzhong-Qin Law.
This did not bring much impact to Wei State.
After studying Qin's laws, the disadvantaged local nobles felt that such strict laws could reduce the intensity of the feudal nobles' attack.
Second, they felt that without their guidance, the people of Wei would spontaneously resent Qin's laws.
They were right.
The laws originally implemented in Wei were extremely loose compared to the laws of Qin.
After changing the laws and regulations, the illiterate people of Wei violated Qin's laws again and again. They did not do it intentionally, they simply did not know the specific content of Qin's laws.
As a result, the people of Wei were killed one by one by Qin Lu.
But because there were no nobles to add fuel to the fire, the number of deaths was far less than the other two policies.
