Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Ruins of Chishan

As a lord, in order to keep his subordinates loyal to him, in addition to the necessary money, he must also have various rewards, such as victory in war, formulation and implementation of good strategies, etc. And if they want to have a positive competitive spirit, they must be treated with a ladder of treatment.

For example, the soldiers around him, they are the closest to him, and he should be treated more favorably than others. So today Zeng Yu gave them a day off, let them go shopping in Chiping County in two batches, and also gave them 1,000 yuan each to purchase what they need.

"Long live the lord!"

In the morning, when Zeng Yu announced the news to them and sent the money to everyone, all the soldiers cheered.

"You have always been by my side, you deserve it, everyone work hard. But there is one point, I asked you to read more military books before, I don't know how you have studied in the past six months, and at the end of the year, I will evaluate you, and you will be greatly rewarded for your good learning. Zeng Yu smiled at them and said something that made the soldiers even more excited.

"Back to my lord, since you gave my order, the brothers have taken the time to study and discuss the art of war together every day, and they will definitely not disappoint the lord." Xu Yang is the one who conveyed Zeng Yu's original order, and he is also the hardest-working.

Zeng Yu prepared a total of three military books for his own soldiers, although he had more, but with the principle of being greedy and chewing more, he only let a group of pro-soldiers now practice "The Art of War", "Wei Xuanzi" and "Sima Suiyi's Art of War".

Among them, "The Art of War" can be said to be a classic of soldiers, a compulsory course for military students as long as they have the conditions, and it can be said to be the general outline of all military books in later generations, "soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored", which pushed the war to the top position of national affairs. Considering the situation of the Qin State at that time, the emphasis was on trying to eliminate the enemy's living force, "The ministers who are good at using soldiers can kill half of the pawns, followed by killing thirteen, and killing eleven of them." Whoever can kill half of it, Weigahaine. Kill the thirteen, and add the princes. Kill the eleven, order the soldiers", full of bloody slaughter, so that the good fighters excited the cowardly heart palpitations, this is Zeng Yu in order to attack the invading alien race, he wants to train his army into a decapitator that makes the alien race painful. The "Art of War" is based on the ancient Sima Art of War, and at the same time attaches the art of war of the general Sima Sui Tho in the late autumn period, which mainly records the ancient Chinese military etiquette and military law to ensure the purity and discipline of the army.

The soldiers went out to play in twos and threes, and Zeng Yu and the four of them were not idle, they heard Cui Yuan mention the characteristics of Chiping County yesterday. Originally, Chiping was called Chiping, because there is a small hill called Chishan here, according to legend, during the Warring States Period, Meng Weijun of Qi used to use this place as the main training ground, and now there are ruins of the training ground at that time on this Chishan Mountain.

Chishan is not far from the county seat, just outside the city twenty miles from the county seat to the south, Zeng Yu four people plus ten pro-soldiers who did not want to hang out, using the foot power of war horses to arrive at the training ground in Chishan in less than half an hour.

At this time, the training ground has long since ceased to be the scene of Meng Weijun, and now there is only an oval ruin, covering an area of about one and a half acres, that is, about 50,000 square meters. There are also houses built on flat ground or shallow crypts around the ruins, Zeng Yu and they walked into several houses, and saw that the structure inside is the same, there is a ground stove in the center of the living surface, and there are four wooden pillars around it, and the larger house site is distributed in the north of the middle of the site, it must be the house where the generals live, but now it has long been empty. Because there is no suitable land near Chishan, there is no one living here, and this place has long been reduced to a paradise for birds and animals.

"I want to be a member of the Qi royal family, one of the four gentlemen of the Warring States Period, Meng Weijun, recruiting talents from all over the world, and thousands of diners. He successively hung the seals of Qin, Qi, and Wei, and even launched a fruitless joint attack on Qi, that is, his own motherland, which can be described as unparalleled for a while. Who knew that after his death, the Xue State he established was destroyed by the Qi State, and who could say that the country and the family hated here. Guo Jia sighed.

He is familiar with history, knows the deeds of Meng Weijun, and admires him for not being afraid of royal power and daring to unite Qin, Zhao, Korea, Wei and Yan to deal with his enemy King Qi Min, but at the same time he feels that in order to take revenge, he has cast a national hatred, and when he returns to Qi, he can only draw a clear line with Qi and make himself a country within a country, but he still can't withstand the reincarnation of heaven.

"There is also a difference between national hatred and family hatred. For example, Zhuxia compatriots, no matter what kind of grievances, they are all battles between Zhuxia, which is not a real national hatred, but can only be regarded as a family hatred. And between us and the invading alien races, such as the Xiongnu, that is the real national feud, and only one of the two can exist, either the alien enslaves us, or we assimilate the alien race. Therefore, the war with the alien race must be put in the first place, as the saying goes, 'Brothers are on the wall, and the outside is the business', which is what it means. Zeng Yu said that this is also the most fundamental principle he has set for himself, no matter what he does, it is for the rise of Zhuxia.

"That's right, my father has always told me that the real enemy of our Zhuxia is only the invading alien race, so I will have the opportunity to resist foreign aggression in the future." Zhu Wen also nodded and said.

"We will have a chance, now that the Xiongnu, Wuhuan and Xianbei and other alien races have been invading the north of the Han Dynasty, the basic policy agreed upon by me and the lord is to base on the north and then march south, so we are also shouldering the heavy responsibility of resisting the invasion of foreign races in the north." As a citizen of Zhuxia, Guo Jia also has a heart to resist foreign insults.

"Well, it is our responsibility to give peace to our people, so there will be opportunities to attack foreign races in the future. Even if they don't attack, we will fight outside the plug and seal the wolf. Zeng Yu said.

"That's right, seal the wolf Juxu!" Zhu Wen shouted.

In 119 BC, in order to completely eliminate the main force of the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty launched the unprecedented scale of the "Mobei War". In this battle, Huo Qubing encountered the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang, with a loss of 10,000, beheaded more than 70,000 prisoners, captured three Xiongnu princes, and 83 generals Xiangguo. Huo Qubing chased all the way to the sacred mountain of the Huns-Wolf Juxu Mountain, and held a great ceremony to worship the heavens. It's a ritual and a determination. After this battle, "the Huns fled far away, and there was no royal court in Monan", and Huo Qubing and his "Feng Wolf Juxu" have since become the highest pursuit of the Chinese soldiers in all dynasties, especially the soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and the dream of lifelong struggle.

"It's a pity that Ziwu is not here, otherwise he would definitely roar and fight to Mobei." Zeng Yu said regretfully.

"The lord is right, Brother Ziwu is more radical than me, and he usually says 'laughing tarts and hulu are like slave pincers' in Qianlong Village." Zhu Wen nodded in response.

However, Ziwu's style is not suitable for fighting with nomadic peoples such as the Xiongnu, and the Wang family's art of war is mainly based on military power and strategy, and has both military skills, and is better at attacking cities and conquering places. And the invasion of the Huns, they have no fixed place, according to the water and grass to live, what is needed is a soldier who is good at the military situation, able to 'thunder the wind, the last to come, the clutch back, the change, with light disease to control the enemy'. Wen Jiang may be more suitable in this regard, he himself is a descendant of Wei Yu, refining "Wei Yuzi", among the many brothers in our Qianlong Village, he is the best soldier. Zeng Yu is very clear about everyone's ability, and he has positioned everyone in his heart, and for candidates to resist or even attack foreign races, the target person in his heart is Wei Feng.

"My lord, you said that Wen Jiang is actually the descendant of Wei Yu, it really surprised me, I see that he has been assisting Yin Zhuo in charge of the money and grain in Anping County, and I thought he was from a legal family." Guo Jia exclaimed.

"Haha, Wenjiang is the same as Bo Bird, in addition to the soldiers, he also cultivates others, and now there are not many people who can be trusted by the county government, and Yin Zhuo is not officially dominated by me, so I only let Wenjiang temporarily assist him." Zeng Yu said with a smile.

He expected that Guo Jia would not be able to guess the details of Wei Feng, because Guo Jia is usually lazy, although he can also deal with the government affairs of a county, a county or even a state, he is more good at strategy, including the formulation of strategic plans and strategies during the war, Zeng Yu is not forcing him to do too much, but when he was busy at the beginning, he asked him to help deal with the mess in Anping County.

"It seems that the lord is really full of talents, and there is such a big talent hidden in a small department, and I am now more and more confident in achieving our goals. By the way, my lord, I don't know if there are any other hidden talents? Guo Jia asked happily.

"It's up to you to find out for yourself." Zeng Yu said with a smile.

"It seems that I have to communicate with everyone more after I go back, otherwise I will really be deceived by everyone, right, Chengyong." Guo Jia looked at Zhu Wen and said loudly.

"Hey, hey!" Zhu Wen touched his head and smirked.

"Don't pretend, I know you don't want to be so honest on the surface." Guo Jia hammered Zhu Wen and said to him.

"That's what I'm asking for, a leader of the guards who looks honest and honest can make people lower their vigilance." Zeng Yu explained.

Guo Jia nodded and said, "I know, when I first saw Chengyong, I felt that his bright eyes should not belong to a simple and honest person. ”

A group of people walked around the ruins of Chishan and chatted, unconsciously spared a circle and walked to the original point, seeing that the time was still early, Zeng Yu suggested that they take a good walk around, Guo Jia They didn't want to go back so early, of course, they responded in unison.

Chishan is not high, but there are many small hills nearby, and the forest is vigorous, and several of the soldiers only carry basic swords and no bows and arrows, but this does not affect the children who grew up in the mountains to hunt in the mountain forest. Soon, Zhu Wen led his soldiers to set up a few simple traps, just waiting for the prey to take the bait.
