Chapter Ninety-Six: Military Power
When the sun was about to set, the rice in the military stove was gradually cooked, the smell of meat permeated the entire military camp, and the soldiers swallowed saliva one by one - before the army marched out, they needed to tell the temple Yishe, and the sacrifices of the ancestors of Yishe became a reward for the soldiers. It's a rare meal, and everyone is waiting for the meal to be served.
Only the nobles were not interested in meat, some of them raised their spears in a daze, some sat and talked, and finally some were still training to stab spears. The start was imminent, and in the last few days, I didn't practice anything new, only the end spear and the stabbing spear. The spear is a real spear, a glittering iron spearhead, 4.8 meters and 5 meters long, and weighing 18.9 pounds.
Different from the previous end spear and stabbing spear of sanitation, the improved stabbing spear tactical action is to sprint in three rows, running a distance of about ten steps, instead of the previous swarm of swarms to sprint. After sprinting, if you are unable to draw your spear, if you are injured, or if your spear is broken, you must immediately draw your blade and avoid the sides, so that your comrades ten paces behind you have room to sprint.
"Kill! Kill! Kill ——! "The target is a one-man high rammed earth wall, with several long upward wooden poles stuck diagonally in the wall, and every third row of Gongzi disciples will sprint angrily as usual, and while pressing down the wooden poles with spears in their hands, they will stab into the chest wall. But Lu Gao was a little strange, he seemed to hear something else. "How can there be a woman?"
"Woman?! If you want to go crazy, why not go to the women's market? I please. Lu Chan was holding a leather bag and pouring wine into his mouth, and he laughed when he heard the words. The army is a big dye vat, and he gradually understands the affairs of men and women, and also knows the names of some female city servants. What kind of virtue Lu Gao is as a student, he knew it when he sacrificed the year before last.
"Definitely." Lu Gao really had a hard time arguing, "I did hear a woman's voice." Then the shouting of killing began again, "Listen, woman! ”
The night was a little darker, and in a column of three, among the few people who were sprinting towards the breastwork, a female voice was indeed heard. As a training officer, Lu Chan could see at a glance that the person at the back was not acting correctly. The spear must be high above the head when sprinting, in order to hold down the opponent's long soldiers from above when engaged. And in order to prevent the spears of his comrades behind him from stabbing him, his head was always tilted to the left.
However, this person could only barely raise the spear above his head, and did not press the pole when he charged. The long wooden pole on the wall was specially designed for the construction of the house, and it was usually diagonally upward, like an enemy soldier holding a long soldier, and once the pole was pressed, it would hang low. When this person sprints, the pole is weak, and there is no even any pole pressing, so he stabs straight and straight.
"Wrong!" Lu Chan was ill, he shouted, and those people immediately looked back. "Why don't you press the pole?"
"Chief, my sister is not a soldier." A young man approached and said so.
"Even if it's not a soldier, then it's fine." Lu Gao was stunned, and Lu Gao rushed to speak in front of him. "You wait to practice again, I'll wait to drink."
"Yui." The man shook his head, then stepped back, and then gestured to his sister a few times, probably talking about the pressure rod.
"Is there really a woman?" Lu Chan said. "Eh, why don't you get close to that son-in-law?"
"Son-in-law?" Lu Gao smiled, "The son-in-law is not what I want, and I have to marry a princess in this life." ”
"Huh!" Lu Qian despises him, he is a standard soldier, and all he thinks about is war, Lu Gao is otherwise, he is a good woman.
"This battle," Lu Gao didn't care about Lu Gao's disdain, marrying a princess was his ideal in this life, not a question of color. "The imperial court has Xiang Bo as the general, the whole army is 150,000 people, and the enemy army is 400,000 ......"
"I have a huge spear, why not be afraid of Qin Kou!" Lu Chan interrupted, his gaze Ling Ran.
"I don't mean that there is a huge disparity between the enemy and me, but I say that the whole army of 150,000 has Xiang Bo as the general, and there is not a single soldier in the county." Lu Gao had already entered the Great Sima Mansion as an official at this time, and his explanation was very small, with a solemnity that could only be understood. "If the king doesn't ...... a good thing"
"What if?" After a long time of classmates, Lu Qian understood what he meant.
"The Titan Prince will ascend the throne." Lu Gao was worried. "If the prince is the king, the new policy and the reputation will be fine."
"How can it be!" Lu Qian said angrily, "If there is no new policy, how can my Chu State seek strength, and how can he resist Qin Shi in the future?" Do you want to marry my princess of Chu to enter Qin? Ling Yin was not allowed to do so. ”
"If Prince Han ascends the throne, let Yin be appointed by Yang Wenjun." Lu Gao said, "At that time, the imperial court no longer had military power. ”
The lack of military power in the imperial court is what Lu Gao is really worried about, and this is also what he, a pawn who has just entered the Great Sima Mansion, said to the Marquis of Yin Yiyang. His proposal is extremely dilemma, among the generals of the DPRK and China, only Xiang Yan can take on this important task, who will be appointed if Xiang Yan is not appointed?
When Lu Gao said that he was worried, under the strict guard of a team of sanitation, Huang Cancan's axe was being sent to Taimiao by attacking Yin Gong, and the king was not in the capital, but Yin Zhaohuang was given the axe on his behalf. At this moment, Zhao Huang and the Empress Dowager Zhao Concubine are standing in the north of the Taimiao, the doctor of the court is standing in the east of the Taimiao, and the generals, generals and others are standing in the west of the Taimiao.
"Ascend, ascend, ascend ......" The servant outside the temple was shouting, Xiang Yan had arrived, and he shouted that promotion was to let Xiang Yan ascend to the hall.
Xiang Yan was dressed in a huge armor, lifting weights like light, and in the shouts of the servants, he rose step by step until he reached the front of the hall. The axe has been held by Zhao Huang himself, and when he was promoted, Zhao Huang said loudly: "The life of Sheji is in the ears of the general." Now the king is in trouble, and I would like to ask the general to take charge of the army. ”
"Respectfully obeyed." After Xiang Yan finished speaking, he walked in front of Zhao Huang and raised his hands high.
Zhao Huang took the head of the axe, put the handle of the axe in Xiang Yan's hand, and shouted: "From now on, the one who goes up to the heavens will be the general!" ”
Cast in brass and decorated with gold, the axe is shaped like a shovel with a blade more than a foot long, which is extremely huge. Zhao Huang finished shouting this sentence in front of the spiritual position of his ancestors, and took back the handle of the axe from Xiang Yan's hand, then turned around, held the handle of the axe himself, put the head of the axe in Xiang Yan's hand, and shouted loudly again: "From now on, those who go down to the abyss will be controlled by the general!" ”
During the Warring States period, the talisman and the axe were parallel, and the generals of the army must receive the axe. If you don't have an axe, you have stolen the talisman, and you have to use a big iron cone to kill Jin in order to seize military power. The axe represents the royal power, and granting the general to the axe is equivalent to granting the royal power to the general, so that 'up to the sky, down to the abyss', there is a general system.
“…… If you see the false, you will advance, and if you see the reality, you will stop. Don't underestimate the enemy with the three armies, don't take orders as the most important and die, don't be noble and cheap, don't disobey the people with unique opinions, and don't take arguments as inevitable. Don't sit if you don't sit, don't eat if you don't eat......"
After a series of bitter admonitions, Xiang Yan still didn't dare to take the axe, and he also responded loudly: "The minister can't rule the country from outside, and the army can't rule from the middle." You can't do anything with two hearts, and you can't be suspicious and you can't be an enemy. Since the minister has been subject to the previous authority, the power of the banner and axe, the minister has not returned the invitation. I only hope that the queen mother will give a word to the minister, the queen mother will not allow it, and the minister will not dare to be a general; If the Queen Mother agrees, the ministers will resign. ”
The grant of the axe is extremely solemn, no matter how many thousand words are said before and after, and it is invalid over and over again, only when the axe is accepted, it is official, and it is recognized by the ancestors, the ministers, and the generals. After Xiang Yan finished speaking, Concubine Zhao restrained the trembling of her body and said, "Please general, rescue the king." ”
"Respectfully obey the order!" Xiang Yan received the order loudly, and then took over the axe in Zhao Huang's hand, and officially took over the military power of the 150,000 army.

"County Prince, Gongzi Yan ......" Looking at the slightly sweating Dou Yu Pheasant on his forehead, Zhan Du really couldn't bear to tell the truth.
"What does Childe mean?" It was heard that Zhan Du and others found the remnants of the Dou family's main room, and Dou Yuzhi rushed from Tang County non-stop. He only walked for eight days.
"Gongzi said, it's better not to see each other than to see each other. It is also said that it is not a bucket, nor is it a seedling. Zhan Du said helplessly.
"Where are the others?" Dou Yu Pheasant frowned, he had already seen the Stygian Mountain Sword, and it was indeed an ancestral sword. As for the clan, Dou Yuejiao died in the battle that year, and his son Dou Benhuang fled to the Jin State overnight, and the Jin State sealed it in Miaoyi, so he changed his name to Miao. A surname is not a surname, and it cannot be changed. It has been more than 300 years since the first monarch and the king, and this person is not a fighter or a seedling, he should have changed his clan again.
Dou Yu Pheasant thought so, Zhan Du was helpless, and said: "Yu County Gong, the son is the first commander of the Yingshi, and he is in the army at this time. ”
"Captain?" Dou Yu was surprised, and Sima Dou often asked from the county next to him: "Master Ying, who can't paddle, won't he have to pull it out tomorrow?" ”
The army went to Chen Ying by boat, and the army that could not paddle went first, and the 50,000 elite soldiers who could paddle could leave Chen Ying on the last day, so that the army could arrive on the same day. Master Yingshi can't paddle, so he is naturally the first to take a folk boat.
"Take me there." Dou Yu Pheasant said hurriedly. The little pawn is very likely to die in the war, if he doesn't see it today, maybe he can only live in Huangquan in this life.
The 20,000 soldiers in Yingdu originally planned to be a force, but the reinforcements were too small, so they could only draw 20,000 people from Chengyang, Pingyu, and Chen counties who were eating in Yingdu as a force.
Like the pawns of the clan, these 20,000 people have only been trained for about a month. The spear is long and heavy, and many soldiers can not do the spear pressing action in the spear, but fortunately, the spear is not comparable to the halberd, not compared to the halberd, it has only one action, that is, the front stab, which is easy to learn and understand. It's easy to learn to turn left, but only turn in this direction anyway, and the stupidest ones will remember it by branding it twice with a red-hot wire.
When Dou Yu Pheasant arrived at the barracks, the Lone Ranger was directing his soldiers to stab their spears. Just looking at him from the side waving and shouting, he froze. The relationship between blood cannot be explained, but as long as it comes from the same vein, although the temperament, expression, movements, and appearance are very different, the essence of the bone cannot be changed for hundreds of years. With just one glance, Dou Yu Pheasant was sure that this was the heir of the Dou family.
"Dou Bo Di, Dou Bo Di ......" Dou Yu Pheasant remembered Dou Yue Jiao, who had fought with the king of Xianjun Zhuang back then, and staggered over.
The lone traveler also noticed a person walking towards him at this time, vaguely looking like his deceased father, and he was stunned for a while before he heard the name shouted from his mouth: Dou Bo Di, Dou Bo Di......
Dou Yu Pheasant unconsciously shed two lines of old tears, he grabbed the lone wanderer's hands and asked tremblingly. "You're... But after Dou Bo Di? ”
