"Okay." Bai Hui was taken aback, these were what he thought, but he hadn't brought it up yet, this famous man who had been famous for a thousand years with sophistry had thought of so much. Truly remarkable.

"The left is long, but there are also many problems. For example, villages compete for water, villages compete for hillside land, and so on. ”

"Well, the detailed rules should be slowly improved, and the construction of water conservancy needs to be considered. I think that the income from the increase in government-run workshops will compensate for some expenses incurred in repairing rivers, water, waterwheels, and mills. ”

After Gongsun Long wrote them down one by one, he began to turn over the seven baskets of bamboo slips to report on his work.

For two whole days, Gongsun Long finished reporting his recent work in a very organized manner, Bai Hui felt that his head was rising, he was originally an ordinary graduate of a third-rate university, and now he was in charge of so many things, and the pressure was huge.

Gongsun Long packed up the bamboo slips: "Zuo Shuchang's change, in less than two years, there will be great changes in the five and a half cities in Hedong, and the people will be grateful." ”

"For the Qin officials, for the benefit of the people."

"Zuo Shu Chang Gaoyi!" Gongsun Long bowed.

Bai Hui asked: "Recently, I will go to Qidu, before going to Handu, are you willing to accompany you, or stay here." ”

"I want to go with you." Gongsun Long replied without thinking about it.

"Okay, so what do you suggest on the route?"

Gongsun Long thought for a moment and said: "Go south along the Yellow River, go to Xinzheng, the capital of Han, and then pass through the Liang of Wei. Whether to go to defend the country, the subordinates thought it was unnecessary, Wei Hou degraded himself to a king, and there was no one to defend the country. On the return trip, the door suggested going north from Handan and then back to Dingyang via Hedong. ”

"Okay, that's it." Bai Hui didn't arrange it in the first place, and Gongsun Long's good suggestion, Bai Hui also agreed.

In the pre-Qin period, it was difficult to have a trip that was just about to go, and it took several days to prepare only dry food, grain, dried meat, etc., not to mention that Bai Hui also had to prepare some gifts and some things for himself to use in various countries.

Ten days later, Bai Hui boarded the boat from the Yellow River and began to move south along the Yellow River under the banner of envoys.

On this trip, in addition to the entourage, servants, and guards, Bai Hui brought three people, namely Wen Luo, who was responsible for recording and writing. Then there was Gongsun Long, who accompanied him as a staff officer. The last person was originally supposed to be Bai Ping, and was finally selected as Sima Jin.

Sima Jin was tortured to death by Bai Ping in the game of mountain battle.

It was Bai Qi who asked Sima Jin to accompany him, otherwise he was afraid that this child would go crazy outside Beiqu City.

There were six boats in a row, and the ships of this era were a bit small, and one boat could not hold more than 200 guards plus more than 300 retinue servants.

Bai Hui was still sitting in the cabin, calculating the military resources needed to attack half of Hedong County.

Every time he calculated, Bai Hui felt a headache.

Sima Jin couldn't help but ask after watching it for two days: "Zuo Shuchang, is this a warlock's talisman?" ”

"No, it's numbers. I'm counting armaments. ”

Bai Hui didn't think that there was anything to hide from this, and he understood this simple mathematical knowledge in a few words, Sima Jin didn't understand, and after Wen Luo explained, Sima Jin finally understood, although he didn't know how to do it, but he knew that these represented numbers.

At this time, the Warring States had a total of thirteen counting words, namely one to ten, hundred, thousand, and ten thousand, these thirteen words.

There are no zeros.

As one of the six arts of Zhou Li, mathematical knowledge is a must for nobles, which is divided into nine parts: Fangtian, Corn, Difference, Shaoguang, Shanggong, Average Loss, Equation, Winning Insufficient, and Sideways

After Sima Jin understood what Bai Hui was doing, he still didn't understand and asked: "If the ordnance is not enough, go to the warehouse to receive it, and if the military rations are not enough, let the grain officer go to the requisition, as a general, it is natural to plan the army, what is the use of these." ”

"You ......." Bai Hui didn't know how to evaluate it, shook his head and said: "The first element that determines the outcome of the war is logistics, the second is morale, the third is troops, and the fourth is military strategy. ”

"That's not right." Sima Jin was ready to fight, but Gongsun Long stopped him: "You don't understand the wisdom of Zuo Shu's army strategy at all, I would like to listen to Zuo Shu's polemic!" ”

Bai Hui didn't want to talk about this, and Wen Luo also said on the side: "I implore Zuo Shuchang to argue." ”

Sima Jin hurriedly bowed down: "The students are willing to listen to the debate of Zuo Shuchang." ”

"Okay." Bai Hui nodded, erased the numbers on the blackboard and wrote them in Chinese characters, five and seven.

"Five, Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, one, two days, three places, four generals, and five laws. It can't be said that Sun Tzu is at fault, but in the Shang Dynasty, people lived in grass huts and used stone knives, why do they now use copper knives and live in brick houses. Could it be that the sages were wrong? It can only be said that times are changing, then we can go further. ”

Bai Hui said this, and the three of them immediately went to find empty bamboo slips and pens.

Bai Hui dared to say that the Bai Clan's Art of War was definitely not an empty talker, and King Qin also praised the Bai Clan's Art of War.

Bai Hui took a sip of water: "Three inside and three outside, these four are based on my Great Qin, Qin's military strength, which includes troops, military uniforms, military food, ordnance and so on." Then there was Qin's economic power, that is, Great Qin's grain production, copper production, cloth production, and so on. The third is the political power of Qin, which is indispensable for royal power, Qin law, the execution of counties and so on. ”

"Besides, these three are of a warlike nature. The Battle of Hexi was the revenge battle of my old Qin, and naturally the morale was high, and every soldier had the determination to fight to the death. The second is diplomacy, which is not explained, and you can understand it yourself. The third is the subjective guidance ability, from the temple to the commander, down to the general, and the war is still fought by people. ”

When Bai Hui said this, Gongsun Long and the other three all stood up and gave a big salute.

Earlier, Gongsun Long thought that Bai Hui was already a faction of his own, a master of a hundred schools. At the moment, Gongsun Long believes that he has not made a wrong choice.

I only heard Gongsun Long shouting: "Good birds are perched on wood, and virtuous ministers choose their masters." Gongsun Long is willing to serve the chief of Zuo Shu loyally. ”

Wen Luo also hurriedly responded to the side.

Bai Hui shook his head: "If one day, the King of Qin orders my two brothers to attack the Zhao State, what should Mr. Gongsun do?" ”

"The rhinoceros is a native of Wei, leading troops to attack Wei for Qin Daliang, and the soldier is a confidant who dies. A blood book can be set up under the door. ”

Bai Hui patted his head lightly, and only then did he react, the pre-Qin era was still the era of loyalty to the monarch, and many people believed in utilitarian thinking, and the country that country gave itself the space for development to that country, and the patriotic thought had indeed not yet been formed.

This era should be called the nostalgia of the people.

Bai Hui said slowly: "In fact, in the battle between my two brothers in Hedong, the real battle losses were less than 5,000, and the remnants were about 2,000. ”

After hearing this, Sima Jin, who had just stood up, knelt down instantly.

In less than a month, he went down to nine cities in a row, killed everyone in Hedong County of Wei State, and beheaded 50,000, which was still an offensive battle, and the battle losses were less than 5,000.
