The history of the Spring and Autumn Period is complicated, and the details in the history books are slightly different, although Zhao Wuxian is a later generation, he knows almost nothing about what happened in the Song Kingdom in this era. I can only rely on the news sent by Le's and Nanzi to analyze it, so I'm very worried that something will happen to Shangqiu's side, which will affect Sicheng Le's.

As for Nanzi, the two exchanged letters, and finally had some friendship, like collaborators, and like friends of the opposite sex. Wuxian is not worried, but for some reason, he is convinced that this intelligent demon girl with long sleeves and good dancing can resolve most of the crises single-handedly.

But as Nanzi said, although she is a princess and is loved by all kinds, there are also things that she can't do, such as the marriage with Wei Hou, which has plagued her for a long time.

This letter is about this.

Wuxian didn't notice that the girl on his shoulder was already half-awake, and he muttered to himself: "The letter said that the Marquis of Wei sent his son to the Song Dynasty again, requesting that the wedding date be advanced to the ...... in July this year, that is, before the autumn harvest."

Nanzi was shocked when she heard this, there are not many people she can rely on in this matter, otherwise she would not have rushed to the doctor to plan with Zhao Wuxian.

But fortunately, this was just a false alarm, under Nanzi's begging, Song Gong excused himself to say that Wu Zhu's fortune was unlucky, and he politely refused, and the wedding date was still to be married in the spring next year.

Zhao Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief after reading it, and the feeling in his heart was a little strange, when he flipped through the letters, he actually had a trace of anger, anger towards Wei Hou, Gongzi Chao, and even Song Gong.

"I just don't want the good cabbage to make the pig arch......"

Wuxian comforted himself so much, but he understood that in preventing Nanzi from marrying Weihou, he had changed from passively being coerced by Nanzi to spontaneously fulfilling his ......

However, Wuxian didn't care to think about it in that direction, from this move of defending the country. Increasingly sensitive to politics, he has sniffed out some kind of message.

The matter between Zhao Wuxian and Nanzi is confidential, and it has been kept secret, and when the information obtained is shown to the public, it is only said to be an ambiguous "Song State Secret Report".

When consulting Kan Zhi, he had the same thoughts as Zhao Wuxian: "Wei Guo wants to advance the marriage date, and his purpose is self-evident. In August and September, something big will happen in Pushang! The Song State is in the south of the country, if the relationship between the in-laws is settled, it can ensure that the southern border is safe, and you can put your mind at ease to join the rebel Jin and use troops in the east and west! ”

The western border of the country is the area of the Jin Dynasty, and the eastern border is Zhencheng!

Wuxian said: "After Weiguo suffered the blow of being besieged by the capital city last year and Zhen Yi was lost, although the military strength recovered quickly. But it is only equivalent to the first secretary of the Jin State. The reason why he dared to rebel against Jin again must have something to rely on, and perhaps, the war for hegemony between Qi and Jin will start in August and September! ”

It was only speculation, but in doing so, Wei became a potential enemy, and he had an extra eye for them when they passed through its southern borders.

But perhaps it was the abundance of men, three or four hundred. Or the guards are not brave and dare not plunder the edge of the soldiers. The armed march of Zhao Wuxian and others in Wei territory did not encounter any obstacles. Safely returned to Yuncheng.

When Wuxian went from Yuncheng to Xiaqiu, which was operated as a fortress city and a handicraft center, the Qi State began to recruit the people of Yi, and the news of the gathering of soldiers from the countryside also spread to the surrounding countries. According to rumors, the target of their attack this time is likely to be the northern and western borders of the Lu Kingdom!

……

I don't know who released this news first, but it has been confirmed by businessmen and spies. Although the Qi State thought that they were secretive and engaged in politics, they had a long border with their neighbors and did not have too many restrictions on their exchanges, so they could not hide this rule. Before, I expected that Qi people might attack Yiyi, which was more important to the Jin Qi competition. But now the spearhead is pointed at Lu Guo, which is quite unwise in the eyes of the ministers, perhaps under the influence of Yang Hu Benqi? ”

In the Xiaqiuyi Temple, just after handing over the government affairs for the past half month, Zhao Wuxian and Zhang Mengtan began to discuss the upcoming war, looking at the map between Heji, Zhang Mengtan fell into deep thought.

It has been more than a year since he left the Jin Kingdom, Zhang Mengtan is nearly twenty years old, and he has also begun to grow a beard, a little lighter under his chin, and he wears a snow-white deep coat, which looks a little more flavorful of lupine scarves.

After he also reached the age of marriage, the Zhen family, the largest clan in the territory, began to ask Zhao Wuxian to say that he hoped to marry his daughter to Zhang Mengtan, with a thousand acres of land as a dowry. However, Zhang Mengtan refused on the grounds that he did not dare to make decisions about marriage and had to report to his father in China.

Zhen's daughter Zhao Wuxian has also seen it, very beautiful and virtuous, but it is not a dish without shirts, although his concept of marriage is subtly influenced by this era, but if you see a woman to be included in the harem, it is really a little unbearable. The combination with local forces sometimes has to be linked by marriage, so Zhao Wuxian supported his subordinates to marry with various clans.

It's just that if it's Zhang Mengtan's turn, the second-in-command of Sanyi, Wuxian, looks down on Zhen's power a little.

"The Zhen family is just a sergeant's family, and if the daughter of his family is the wife of the main house, she will be condescended to Meng."

"The subordinate is just the concubine of the Zhang family, how can he talk about giving in?"

Wuxian glanced at him: "Although Meng Tan is now named Yi Zai, he is actually the same doctor, and his future in the future should not be limited to this." ”

Although Zhang Mengtan was in a peaceful state of mind, as he grew older, he looked at fame and fortune more and more lightly, and his mind was focused on "meritorious service", one of the three immortals, but this seemingly nonexistent promise still moved him greatly.

Cast it with papaya and repay it with Qiong Yao, he is naturally willing to use his own body to consolidate and expand Zhao Wuxian's forces to make some contributions, Zhao Xiaosikou will plan to defend the country in the future, and the assistance of these Weiren clans is indispensable.

"If my father agrees, when the war is over, I am willing to marry the Zhen family."

Among several garrison officials, Yang Tongue Rong was stationed in Zhenyi, and Tiger Club was stationed in Yuncheng. In Liqiu, he is considered by Zhao Wuxian to have a "general", in addition to being able to strictly fulfill orders, he also has a set of war strategies in his heart, with him, he can fill some of the shortcomings of Wuxian and Zhang Mengtan.

In addition, Kan Zhi and others were also present at the meeting, and everyone was quite nervous in the face of the news of the possible attack of the Qi army. It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that Zhao Wuxian's forces are insignificant compared to the entire Qi State.

Originally, the military system of the Qi State was one army, and with the development of the population and economy, the three armies could recruit at least 60,000 people. Coupled with the personal family of Dr. Qing, it is no problem to get together a chariot of 2,000 and 100,000 soldiers to watch the soldiers. Even if only one army is sent with 20,000 men. There are also five times as many as three Yi soldiers and Yi soldiers and township pavilion soldiers, so everyone only feels that Mount Tai is overwhelming, and the small city wants to be destroyed.

Who knew that when discussing the military situation, Zhao Wuxian and his adviser Meng Tan could easily talk about the marriage after the war, which made them cry and laugh, and at the same time they were relieved. Secret Dao Si Kou and Zhang Zi probably already have a perfect plan.

Zhao Wuxian said: "It's not perfect, it's just that the assembly of the people of a country is time-consuming and laborious, and we have time to wait for work." ”

The preparation process for war in the Spring and Autumn Period was extremely long, not to mention that the soldiers and horses were not moved, and the grain and grass went first, as Sun Tzu summed up: "Where the method of using soldiers, gallop thousands of cars, leather carts and 100,000 armor." Thousands of miles to feed food. Then the internal and external expenses, the use of guests, the material of glue paint, the dedication of the car armor, the daily cost of thousands of gold, and then 100,000 teachers. ”

Let's just say that the soldiers are fast refers not only to the march, but also to the assembly......

The process of assembling the army before the war. Known as "governing the army", the military system of the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period was basically a combination of agriculture and soldiers. It is mainly composed of Duyi people, supplemented by rural savages. A thousand-mile country, from the court issuing the order to start a war, to the lords of all levels of the emperor and the lord of the feudal province with their own people and private dependents gathered in the suburbs, followed by the division of the array system, and finally the training and pulling. It generally takes two to three months of process.

For example, the battle of Jinchu Chengpu, which is regarded as a classic of soldiers, seems to be extremely fierce, but it is actually a slow war.

In the autumn and August of the twenty-seventh year of Duke Lu, King Cheng of Chu made the decision to "besiege the Song Dynasty" and let Yin Ziwen rule the army. Sima Ziyu reinstated the army in the land. In the winter of October, Chu went abroad, and in November, it was entangled in the Chen, Cai, Zheng, and Xu coalition forces to besiege the Song Dynasty, which spanned three months.

The Jin State in the north was more efficient, and only received the information that the Chu State besieged the Song Dynasty in the winter and November, and in December, the Jin people were assembled in the Lu, as the three armies, and the marshal was promulgated. In January of the 28th year of Lu Xungong, the third army of Jin went out of the country and prepared to attack Wei and Cao, with a time span of two months.

As for the decisive battle between the two countries in Chengpu, it was already in April, and it was more than half a year before the start of the war, which was also the limit of what the princes of the crown belt could bear when professional soldiers were not yet popular. If it is a small-scale recruitment, you can also take turns to change the front-line soldiers, or tear down the east wall to make up the west wall. If the whole country fights, it will delay the agricultural time, and at that time, King Chu Cheng was busy trying to withdraw his troops despite Ziyu's request for war, and there was also this reason.

Ran Qiu, who had been standing on the side, added: "However, since Guan Zhong reformed the military system in the Qi State and Sima Sui Tho adjusted it, the efficiency of military management is much higher than that of Jin and Chu a hundred years ago, but it should not be overestimated. ”

In the military reform of the Qi country in those years, the principle of Guan Yiwu was to "send military orders for internal affairs", and its measures were to "join the country and serve its contempt", and the content was: The whole country was divided into 21 townships, six industrial and commercial townships, and 15 Shi townships. The township of industry and commerce is not engaged in warfare, but it is the 15th township of Shixiang that is actually engaged in warfare.

The state of Qi took Wuxiang as one handsome, with 11,000 people. The Marquis of Qi led the Chinese army, and the two Shangqing States and Gao each built and led the Wuxiang Army to the left and right armies, which was for the three armies, that is, "participating in the country".

A township recruited 2,000 people and a brigade, and the township was handsome. There are ten companies in the township, 200 people are pawns, and the company commander is handsome. There are four miles in a row, and fifty people are Xiaorong, and there is a commander in it. There are ten tracks in one mile, five people are in company, the track is handsome, and there are five families on one track. This is "Wu Qida", the five families in the track, because they have lived together for generations, because they have the same interests, harms and blessings, so they "have the same code and are strong in war".

This is a combat system that combines society and military, which can be regarded as a pioneering move ahead of the times, so the Qi State was able to attack from all sides with 30,000 people and make a move to cross thousands of miles to conquer the mountains and destroy the Lone Bamboo Country.

Later, with the death of Duke Huan of Qi and Guan Zhong, the system was corrupted for a time, but Sima Sui Tho restored it. He wrote "Sima Fa" handed down, so that the Qi people in the spring to raise the brigade, the autumn to govern the army, the countryside soldiers to gather in the li, the capital of the army to assemble in the suburbs, the efficiency is much higher than a hundred years ago in the Jin and Chu.

But perhaps the starting point of Zhao Wuxian's station was too high, and when he compared the Qi people's pride in "joining his country and joining his country" with his "Xiangting Shiwu" system, he felt that the Qi people's army management was as slow as a turtle......

"Ziyou is right, it's the middle of July, Qi is a big country, five hundred miles from north to south, and one thousand miles from east to west, and the troops on the border can be assembled at the border in half a month, and the central capital may be as long as a month, and when all the three armies are drawn to attack Lu, it may be the end of August."

Compared with the big guy who is difficult to turn around, Sanyi, a little sparrow with all kinds of organs, has an advantage in this regard, especially the efficiency of military orders and government orders. The people's hearts have gradually been subdued, and since there was the Xiangting Shiwu system of Zhao Wuxian's cottage of the Qin and Han dynasties, the tentacles of rule have penetrated deep into the grassroots.

Sima Fayun, if you are warlike, you will die, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger, so you can always make Lingyi tense your nerves, and Onozawa's thief is a good excuse for conscription training.

According to Ji Qiao's statistics, in the past six months, Sanyi has had at least two exercises to manage the troops, because Shiwu has its own belonging, and the pavilion chief and the thief are military officials. Therefore, one township and pavilion can be assembled in one day, and within three days, the township pavilion soldiers can go to the outskirts of the city to join the Yi soldiers, and the army can be combined into thousands in five days!

"There's no way...... "After all, our system is two or three centuries ahead of the times." ”

This comparison made the subordinate officials breathe a sigh of relief, because they were able to manage the troops as soon as possible, at least they would not be caught off guard.

What's more, in terms of attack, those shadows have been buried in Weiguo Punan for a long time, and they only owe Dongfeng, because of Nanzi's affairs, Zhao Wuxian has been particularly unhappy with Weiguo recently. On the defensive side, the period of time when the Qi people gathered was enough for Sanyi to train their soldiers, repair the walls, and prepare for the arrival of the clouds of war.

What's more, Wuxian and Zhang Mengtan's footsteps did not stop at sitting and waiting, and in just a few days, they finalized a "Xilu Joint Defense Plan" that "takes advance as retreat" and "neighbors as the screen." (To be continued......)
