Bai Hui's proposal is put from the perspective of modern people, that is, it reduces the opportunities for Wang Yi and Bai Ping to make meritorious contributions.

At the same time, it is also necessary to be a person to Shouhui, and to repay Wang Yi and Bai Ping for this concession.

Therefore, this question made Bai Hui very entangled.

However, Bai Qi will not.

Bai Qi said: "I have dealt with General Shou, although it is a little disrespectful, but I still have to say that he can lead an army to fight, but he can't lead the army, and he is not brave enough to charge the battle." But it is very reliable, and does not discount any military order. How to say it, people don't know how to be flexible, and they are a little rigid. ”

Bai Hui got up and closed the door, then pulled back a curtain on the wall, behind which was a map of Hedong County and its surroundings.

"Brother, you said that if General Xiang Shou is allowed to lead 5,000 elites, plus 10,000 local defenders, and 2,000 people led by Wang Yi and Bai Ping, can you use Guyi as a base to attack Wangyuan City in the north."

Bai Qi didn't answer immediately, but stood in front of the map and stared at it for a while before nodding slightly: "It's a clever move, this battle can be sneak attacked, Wangyuan City is a small city, there are not many roads around, but it is a key road, if it is controlled in the hands of my Qin army, then the Wei army reinforcements can only take the road of Jiangzhou." ”

"Brother, the Wei people estimate that there will be no heavy troops in Wangyuan City, because this belongs to the Inner Realm City."

Bai Hui's words made Bai uncontrollably nod.

Bai Hui continued: "The Wangyuan Line spans Wangwu Mountain in the east, Zhongtiao Mountain in the west, the Yellow River in the south, and Nuwa Mountain (Taihang Mountain) in the north. ”

Bai couldn't help nodding: "It seems feasible, but if you do this, you must provoke a battle to attack Hedong within half a month." Otherwise, if they occupy a single city, they will not be able to withstand the attack of the Wei army, and only if our troops are in Fencheng, the Wei army will not attack Wangyuan City. If so, we need five lieutenants to lead the charge. ”

As Bai Qi spoke, he slowly pulled up the curtain and blocked the map.

Then, Bai Qi said: "It's too early to make these strategic layouts now, the last time I mentioned the chaos in the middle of the city, if you don't have important things in your hands, you can't ignore them." ”

Bai Hui nodded: "Wait a few more days, I'm busy with something very important." ”

"What?"

"It just so happens that you are here, brother, I arranged for them to come over, this is a major matter in armaments."

"Good!"

Bai Hui instructed the guards to call someone over, no matter how much he prepared in a day, he also needed to let Bai Qi know at this time.

The people from the ordnance side came first, they brought a few new armors and a few things that Bai Hui wanted.

"Zuo Shuchang, it's difficult for us to use iron, so we replaced it with copper." The craftsman first places a bunch of small parts on the table.

Bai Hui fiddled with it in his hand.

This is the most primitive scissors, and the successive parts of the craftsman head have been replaced with copper shafts.

"Smash, smash it and I'll take a look, then find a piece of cloth."

"No!"

At that moment, the craftsmen were in the courtyard, trying to knock the two pieces of scissors together with the rivets that Bai Hui had requested.

After a while, several pairs of scissors of different sizes of different shapes were hammered.

Bai Hui picked up a handful and tried it on a rag, and it took a lot of effort to cut it a little bit.

Bai Qi shook his head after reading it: "This thing doesn't seem to be of much use." ”

A craftsman stepped forward and clenched his fists: "Zuo Shuchang, the craftsman thinks that the sharpness of the blade and the contact surface are polished very smoothly, and the elasticity on this rivet is appropriate, it should be a very convenient tool, please allow the craftsmen to try again." ”

Bai Hui nodded: "That's right, you are responsible for this matter." In five days, I want to see scissors that can easily cut the linen, and I will be rewarded in advance, and I will not punish you if I don't do it well, so I will work hard. ”

"No!"

Bai Hui said again: "My armor, take it out and take a look." ”

The armor that Bai Hui wanted was a single piece of armor, the armorers made a total of four kinds of armor, and the blacksmiths created six different arm guards.

The guards put on their armor and made a few gestures with sticks to each other.

Bai Qi pointed at the armor and asked, "What's so good about this new armor, it seems to have less protection than the original armor." ”

Bai Hui said: "Brother, the old armor is heavier, and more copper pieces are used. The new armor will be more practical and lighter. What's more, the new armor is less than half the size of the old one. Brother, you only care about marching and fighting, but you have calculated the expenditure of military expenses, and the weapons worn by the soldiers of the Qin army, used, and fought are all money. ”

"You have a reason, it's up to you." Bai Qi also understands that reducing the cost of armor will allow more soldiers to become armor.

Before the Qin soldiers changed the law, the most courageous were called the knights of the light army, and the dead soldiers of the light army.

This title is proud, but more helpless, because the Qin army does not have enough armor for cavalry and infantry. Many people just wear cloth clothes to the battlefield, and they don't even have enough weapons.

Even now, the Qin soldiers are divided into armor soldiers and light soldiers.

Light soldiers accounted for the vast majority of the Qin army, at least more than seventy percent, and light soldiers were unarmored soldiers.

Bai Hui suddenly shouted: "Mengqiu! ”

Only sixteen years old, the young soldier from the Qi State who was assigned to the Bai Hui pro-military camp was stunned, he didn't react to Bai Hui calling himself, because he was a new soldier, and his martial arts could only be regarded as average in the Bai Hui pro-military camp.

The captain of the pro-soldier squad saw that Meng Fu did not react, so he threw Meng Fu in front of Bai Hui with him, and said viciously: "Next time there is a call from Zuo Shu in a daze, he will be severely punished." ”

"No!"

Bai Hui smiled, and then said, "Meng Fu, you are literate. In the pro-military camp you are not only literate, but also read military books. I'll give you a task, a month's time, I want you to go to the armory, and keep trying to balance the monolithic armor between ensuring protection and cost, you answer me, do you know what balance is? ”

Meng Fu had already come back to his senses, and immediately clenched his fists: "I know, on the one hand, it is excellent protection, and on the other hand, it is to save coins." This is a contradiction, and taking the most suitable choice is called balance. ”

Bai Hui nodded: "Yes, if this matter is good, if my brother is satisfied, I will give you a chance to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions." If you can't do it, you will be punished to go to the logistics camp to carry hay. ”

"I will not disgrace my life." Meng Fu clenched his fists heavily.

Why did Meng Fu come to Qin, because there was no room for him to exert himself in Qi State, and when he came to Qin State, he believed that he had the opportunity to make achievements on the battlefield.

Bai Hui said to Bai Qi again: "Brother, I am literate, I have read military books, and my martial arts are not bad." If he does well this time, can you keep him by your side and be a personal companion? ”

"Okay." Bai Qi nodded, looked at Meng Fu and said, "If the general goes to battle, he will come to the battle formation in person, do you dare to rush into battle with the general." ”

"Dare, thank you for your common sense." A fire surged in Meng Fu's heart, he didn't expect to get such an opportunity just after arriving in the Qin State.
