『Zhangzi ......』

Meng Zhong looked at Tian Zhang with some surprise.

I remember that when Tian Zhang chatted with him, that demeanor reminded Meng Zhong of Meng Hu's grandfather Meng Jin, as if Tian Zhang was also a familiar elder, until Tian Zhang restrained his smile and looked directly at Master Zhao's father, Meng Zhong felt the invisible oppressive force on this famous general of the Qi State.

It was an incredible kind of self-confidence, as if Tian Zhang firmly believed that it was impossible for Master Zhao to force the Qi State to the point of destruction.

"Huh."

Listening to Tian Zhang's words, Master Zhao's face showed a faint smile: "How can Zhang Zi conclude that I don't plan to destroy the Qi Kingdom this time?" ”

Tian Zhang shook his head and said, "I heard that a few days ago, Tian Yu and Gongsun Min had invited Master Zhao to meet Master Zhao, and presumably the two of them had already explained this matter to Master Zhao......

"......" Master Zhao didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Tian Zhang didn't care, and said to himself: "The alliance between the Qin State and the Zhao State is just to contain our Qi State, if my Qi State is defeated, the relationship between Qin and Zhao will inevitably change, even if the Zhao master father previously supported Gongzi Ji as the King of Qin...... In the next thought, Zhao Guo should not have been prepared to fight against Qin. ”

"Not necessarily."

Master Zhao said lightly: "Thanks to Zhangzi's blessing, in the past two years, Zhangzi has led the army to attack the Qin State, which has caused the Qin State to be defeated repeatedly, and the loss of the Qin State is not small......

"Definitely!"

Tian Zhang interrupted Lord Zhao's words, and Zhengse said: "Although in the next two years, the allied forces of Qi, Wei, and Han have been able to defeat the Qin State and gain the advantage by luck, but the national strength of the Qin State has not been reduced. Presumably Lord Zhao's father also knew that the Qin people had always been fierce, and after the "Shang Dynasty Reform", the Qin State implemented the "Military Merit" system, and the rewards and titles conferred in China were all linked to military merits, which led to the Qin soldiers fighting bravely and fearlessly, no less than Wei's military soldiers...... Although the Zhao army is strong, it may not be able to defeat the Qin army! ”

“……”

Master Zhao frowned and pondered.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong asked curiously: "Is the military merit of the Qin State so great for the promotion of the Qin soldiers?" ”

Seeing that it was Meng Zhong who asked, Tian Zhang changed his attitude and explained kindly: "It can't be said to be 'promotion', but fear." ”

As he spoke, he saw Meng Zhong's look of confusion, so he asked with a smile, "How much does the little brother know about Qin Law?" ”

"I don't know about it, I only heard that Shang Jun's change of law is based on the "Code" of Li Kui, the former minister of Wei." Meng Zhong shook his head and said.

Tian Zhang thought for a moment and said, "This is not true. ”

Saying that, he explained to Meng Zhong: "Qin law is very harsh, brother Wei has also traveled to various countries over the years to understand the criminal laws of all countries, Qin is the harshest of all countries, it has the most rewards, but the punishment is also the heaviest. ”

"Where?"

"Let's take military law, for example." Tian Zhang stroked his beard and explained: "In terms of rewards, the Qin State is similar to the Central Plains States, and the rewards are more, for example, killing an enemy soldier can get a hundred acres of land. ”

"A hundred acres? Kill one and reward a hundred acres? Meng Zhong was surprised.

Tian Zhang chuckled when he heard this, and said: "The Qin State divides the title into twenty ranks, and the lowest title is called "Gongshi", and you only need to kill a man in armor (that is, a soldier) to obtain this title. …… The second-level title is called "Shangzao", which is also known as "Zaoshi", that is, the "Cheshi" of the Central Plains, as the name suggests, that is, he has the qualification to board the chariot to fight. …… The third-level title is called "簪 (zān) 褭 (niǎo)", which was called "li 褭" by a famous horse in ancient times, and its shape resembles a hairpin, so it is called "hairpin", which is the "chariot official" known to the little brother. ”

Saying that, Tian Zhang asked Meng Zhongdao: "Little brother, do you guess that from civilians to gongshi, from gongshi to Shangzao, from Shangzao to hairpin, each needs to kill the enemy?" ”

Meng Zhong shook his head.

"One person! Only one person! ”

Tian Zhang raised a finger and said, "As long as you kill an enemy soldier, you can be promoted to a knighthood!" If you can kill seven enemy soldiers in a battle, you can get the seventh-level knighthood "Seven Doctors (Gong Dafu)", is this a very generous reward? ”

"Kill seven soldiers to get to the rank of Scholar?"

Meng Zhong was very surprised, you must know that his father Meng Zhai not only killed dozens of enemies before and after, but also only had the title of sergeant, which shows that the military merits of the Qin State are indeed generous.

And at this moment, he saw Tian Zhang shaking his head and said, "But let me tell you, among the thousand Qin soldiers, there are very few who can be promoted to the seventh doctor. ”

"Why is that?" Meng Zhong felt very puzzled, after all, killing seven enemy soldiers, this standard is not harsh at all, when he attacked the Qi camp at night a few days ago, the number of Qi soldiers killed by his own hands may be more than this number, he can do it, there is no reason why those strong Qin soldiers can't do it.

"Because in addition to 'rewards', there are also 'punishments'!" Brushing his beard, Tian Zhang Zhengse said: "The military law of the Qin State stipulates that any soldier who has a knight must kill a soldier in battle, otherwise he will lose his title; If one of the Qin soldiers in a five-man team escapes, the remaining four must kill an additional enemy soldier to compensate for the crime of 'sitting together', and if one of the five-person team is killed in battle, the remaining four soldiers must also kill an additional enemy soldier to 'atone'. …… In other words, if you are a soldier in the army, and all four soldiers in the army are killed or fleeing, then you need to kill four enemy soldiers to atone for the crime, plus you must personally kill one enemy soldier, a total of five people, only by killing five enemy soldiers, you can keep your current title and not be punished by Qin Law! …… And this is just the punishment system for soldiers. ”

After a pause, Tian Zhang suddenly asked again: "What position does the little brother hold by Master Zhao's side now?" ”

"Guards Sima." Meng Zhong replied.

"Sentinel Sima? …… It seems that this little brother has been reused by Master Zhao, heh, he is worthy of being Master Meng's favorite disciple......

Tian Zhang glanced at Master Zhao with some surprise, and finally understood why Master Zhao couldn't bear it anymore when he tried to abduct this little brother to his Qi country.

"How many soldiers do you have?" Tian Zhang asked again.

"Five hundred." Meng Zhong said truthfully.

Tian Zhang nodded, and then said to Meng Zhong: "If you are in the Qin State and have five hundred soldiers under your command, then, whenever there is a war, you must ensure that the soldiers under your command kill the entire five hundred enemy soldiers, which is called a complete victory." If you can do that, you'll be able to move up a knighthood. …… By 500 men, I mean that none of your corporal will die, otherwise, if one of your corporal dies, you must ensure that one more enemy soldier will be killed; Ten killed, ten killed; Kill a hundred, kill a hundred! ”

Meng Zhong was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask: "Join my corporal and die two hundred people, what ......?"

Tian Zhang smiled when he heard this: "That is to say, you need to ensure that the soldiers under your command will kill seven hundred enemy soldiers!" ”

"It's too harsh."

Meng Zhong swallowed his saliva and asked, "What if you don't do it?" ”

Tian Zhang snorted lightly when he heard this: "Two hundred people died, but seven hundred people were not killed, and the title was cut by one level; Two hundred people died, but not enough were killed, and the title of third-class knight was reduced, and he may be punished and reduced to slavery. ”

Meng Zhong opened his mouth, speechless by the harshness of Qin Law described by Tian Zhang.

At this time, I heard Tian Zhang conclude: "In the Qin State, it is not difficult to obtain a knighthood, as long as you kill many enemy soldiers in a battle, you can get a high title, and the difficulty is how to keep the existing title...... The title was very important in the Qin state, it could be atonement, it could redeem slavery for others, but it was also easy to lose. In a war, you may have been a seventh- or eighth-level knighthood at the beginning, and you also killed seven or eight enemy soldiers on the battlefield, but as soon as you were liquidated after the war, you somehow fell to the third-level knighthood, and even became a slave, which is a common occurrence in the Qin State. …… Therefore, the Qin soldiers were very brave and fearless of death when they fought, and sometimes the Qin soldiers would rather die with the enemy and die on the battlefield, because in this way, they could keep their existing titles and fields and leave them to their relatives, otherwise, after a defeat, they are likely to lose everything......"

Speaking of this, Tian Zhang let out a long breath, stroked his beard and said: "I fought with the Qin army three times, the first time was in "Sanqiu", the second time in "Pushui", and the most recent time in "Hangu Pass", in my eyes, the Qin pawn who was at a disadvantage was more terrible than the Qin pawn when the two armies were deadlocked, in the past, when I was in Pushui, I suffered this loss, and mistakenly thought that the Qin army was about to be defeated, but I didn't expect ......"

He recalled the experience of the "Battle of Pushui", and recalled that the Qin soldiers at that time showed a terrifying combat effectiveness far beyond ordinary times under the disadvantage of the situation, and actually defeated the Qi army, which had clearly gained the upper hand before.

This defeat made Tian Zhang completely understand the horror of the Qin army, and he never dared to underestimate the Qin army, even if it was already in a rout.

Because no one can guarantee that those Qin pawns who are afraid of Qin Law will not come to a suicidal assault and use heroic battle deaths to keep the titles they have obtained, so that the land on which their families rely will not be taken away by the Qin State, and their families will not become slaves of others.

"Does the current Zhao State have the confidence to face that kind of Qin State alone?"

Tian Zhang Zhengse asked Lord Zhao's father.

“……”

Master Zhao listened to Tian Zhang's talk about the strength of the Qin army from beginning to end, and when he heard the inquiry, he was silent.

In view of the fact that his confidant Lou Shu served as the minister of state in the Qin State, of course the father of Zhao knew that what Tian Zhang told was not a matter of faith - it was with this harsh military discipline that the Qin State relied on this harsh military discipline to "force" the Qin soldiers to kill the enemy bravely, so that in recent decades, the Three Jin Dynasty was completely suppressed, and the three kingdoms of Wei, Zhao, and Han were out of breath.

Although the army of Zhao is actually not weak, if the other party is the army of Qin, even if it is the father of Zhao, he has to weigh it.

At this time, I heard Tian Zhang say to Master Zhao with a smile on his face: "Now in the Central Plains, only Zhao and Qi can compete with Qin. …… The state of Chu had already collapsed, and if it was learned of the fall of the state of Qi, even if the state of Qin did not immediately turn against the state of Zhao, it would take advantage of the situation to attack the state of Chu. A few years ago, Qin's "Sima Cuo" conquered the three kingdoms of Shu, Ba and Tho, and established Shu County, and since then has been eyeing Chu State, just because of my Qi State, Qin State does not dare to attack Chu State easily for the time being, if my Qi State falls, Chu State will definitely surrender to Qin, at that time, Wei and Han are they falling to Zhao State, or to Qin State? If Qin used Chu, Wei, and Han as its minions and tore up the alliance with Zhao, how could Zhao resist Qin? ”

Speaking of this, Tian Zhang smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "For the sake of Zhao State, it is better to do this, my Qi State is willing to surrender to Zhao, respect Zhao State, and help Zhao State win over Chu, Wei, and Han to fight against Qin State together, what is the intention of Lord Zhao?" ”

Glancing at Master Zhao, who was frowning and thinking, and then at Tian Zhang, who was talking eloquently, Meng Zhong was very surprised.

He vaguely felt that Tian Zhang had dominated this conversation from beginning to end, which was completely different from the feeling that Tian Zhen and Gongsun Min gave him.
