Chapter 79: The Feud

"Gong Zhongyin, Dong Fang, and Ru took fifty soldiers, divided into two teams, went around the forest, spread out an eagle and a goose-shaped formation, and marched forward one east and one west, crumbling weapons, and driving the wild beasts to the open land by the stream.

"There is no letter in the post, Feiping, and you have fifty horsemen, also divided into two teams, and lie in ambush on both sides of the forest."

"Lu Jujian, Wu Dang, you and the two took the rangers to the other side of the stream, holding a net and waiting."

"Shu Qi, protect your son, don't let the frightened beasts collide."

Like a general on the battlefield, Zhao Kuo skillfully named one by one, and everyone also smiled and took the order.

The hunting team of more than 100 people was divided into several parts, like a person's limbs, each of them moved, under the command of Zhao Kuo, with the sound of the whistle, fifty foot soldiers were divided into two teams, pouring into a sparse forest, and most of the beasts that escaped from Kuangliang and Tianhu hunting teams got here.

The apprentices trained according to the array in the Zishui camp in the past, outflanked left and right according to Zhao Kuo's instructions, and loudly beat the weapons, clanging loudly, and after a while, the birds and beasts in the forest fled in panic, and dozens of hares, goats, sika deer, wild boars and other prey drilled out of the forest that was no longer safe, and ran to the open grassland by the stream.

But a group of riders had been waiting for them here, and they were divided into two teams, blocking the beasts left and right, with the stream in front and the pursuers behind, and the horsemen galloping on the left and right, and the arrows fell into the prey group like rain, and the wild beasts in the middle of the small pasture fled in panic, and no matter which direction they fled, they would be blocked back by the rain of arrows.

In a panic, some wild beasts crossed the stream and tried to flee to the other side, but ten rangers were already waiting there with nets, just in time to wait for the rabbits, catch and kill the wet beasts, and the blood stained the stream red.

Mingyue was in the rear under the escort of Shu Qi, looking at the scene in front of her, there was a bit of novelty and surprise in her heart.

Although half of the people in this hunting team can ride horses, they are not professional cavalry in the three counties of Daibei, and many of them must be stationed in place to shoot bows. Their leader Zhao Kuo is not known for his personal martial arts, compared to Tian Hu, who can shoot a bow and arrows without flawlessness, and he did not go up to shoot at this moment, but galloped left and right, commanding everyone to shrink the encirclement and not let the beast escape.

However, such a group of people, with good cooperation and full use of the terrain, the efficiency of hunting is the highest among the hunting teams present. After a while, the wagon behind the team was already full of beasts, and everyone was dancing with joy, looking at Zhao Kuo's eyes, they were also more convinced.

Zhao Kuo's hunting experience in the Purple Mountain came in handy, but if he didn't have the experience of sharing weal and woe with the soldiers along the way, the soldiers would not love him, and if there was no killing the fugitive soldiers in the Zishui camp, the soldiers would not be afraid of him.

"At least it's no problem to command hundreds of people to deal with beasts...... Mingyue thought secretly, this can be regarded as Zhao Kuo's progress, but there is still a big gap between being able to play a good man-machine game and fighting a king game with Bai Qi......

At this time, the movements of Chang'anjun's hunting team also attracted everyone's attention, and the Qi women, who were originally a little disappointed that Chang'anjun didn't know martial arts, came over again, and looked at this group of Zhao people who were not amazing-looking like a precision-running machine, harvesting the lives of beasts.

In the eyes of those who know how to use the collective, the Chang'anjun hunting team, which knows how to use collective cooperation, and the other two hunting teams, which only rely on individual brave hunting and seem to be disorganized, have been sentenced.

At this time, the hunting team of Anping Junfu had already killed all the beasts in the vicinity, but they were not in a hurry to find the next batch of prey, and the leading young gentleman watched this side for a long time, and then drove over.

"Chang'an-kun!"

Far away, Tian Hu greeted his neighbor who had never met in the car, and Mingyue didn't dare to slack off, so she returned the salute: "Huzi, after moving into the next door of Anping Jun's Mansion, I was busy with mundane things, and I haven't been able to visit, it's rude." ”

"It's my rudeness, I often smell the smell of wine wafting from Chang'an Jun's mansion, I should really come to the door to visit, hahaha."

"Coincidentally, I brought wine today, and when the hunt is over, I will invite the prince and all the gentlemen to drink the roasted meat together, and the tiger can taste it then."

"Seriously!" Tian Hu was overjoyed, licked his lips, and then thought that his sister was here, and he would never let himself drink more, and he couldn't help but be discouraged.

Tian Hu is one or two years younger than Chang'anjun, but he is much taller than him, tiger-headed, and doesn't seem to have any scheming. I saw that he commanded well, and surrounded his prey to hunt it, calmly and undisturbedly, and in a manner quite like my father. ”

"How can he compare with An Pingjun." Mingyue was humble for Zhao Kuo, and also beckoned Zhao Kuo to come over and saw An Pingjun's son.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuo didn't buy it, and came over to give it up hastily, so he just reported the hunting situation to Chang'an Jun, and hung Tian Hu in place, so he was not embarrassed.

Tian Hu was honest and simple, but he didn't react, but his entourage didn't do it, and immediately pointed at Zhao Kuo with a whip and reprimanded: "Little Baifu, you are so rude, do you know who my gentleman is!" ”

"Isn't it the son of An Pingjun?"

Zhao Kuo was arrogant, rolled his eyes, raised his head and said: "Although I am a centurion, I am also the son of Zhao Guoma Fujun, the son-in-law!" Is it still lower than him? ”

After reporting his identity, Tian Hu's face also changed, he glared at Zhao Kuo, his love for talent was suddenly gone, and he had no interest in talking to him, he snorted coldly, hugged Mingyue and apologized, and turned around and left.

Shu Qi saw that the two of them were not very compatible, and asked in a low voice: "Chang'anjun, Kuozi and An Pingjun's son have met before, and have a holiday?" ”

"It's not that they have a holiday, it's that their parents have a vendetta." Mingyue smiled helplessly, and told Shu Qi about a past incident he had heard from Li Tan.

……

"It was the thirtieth year of the first king, when Zhao defeated the Qin army in Yanhe, and the princes were shaken and sent envoys to Zhao to make peace. Qi came from the Qi State at that time, it was Qi Xiang An Pingjun, who had a dispute with Ma Fujun during the Zhao State, and discussed the way of using soldiers. ”

Looking at Tian Hu who was far away, Mingyue said: "At that time, An Pingjun said to Ma Fujun, it's not that I don't like the general's use of soldiers, but I don't admire the general's use of too many soldiers in battle. If there are many soldiers, the people will not be allowed to farm, and it will be difficult to ensure that the army is sufficient. If this kind of war is protracted, there is no need to wait for the enemy army to fight a decisive battle with us, and the country has already broken itself. I have also heard that the emperors of the ancients could bring the world to their knees with no more than 30,000 soldiers. But the general is not, and he will bear 100,000 or 200,000 people to use it, and he will not accept this order. ”

Shu Qi thought for a while and said: "What An Pingjun said is not unreasonable, if there are too many conscriptions, it will indeed hurt the people. ”

Mingyue said: "Although the words are good, Ma Fujun has another opinion. ”

Ma Fujun believes that in ancient times, the world was divided into ten thousand countries, although the city was large, but three hundred zhang, although the people were many, but three thousand, so the Yin Zhou attack, the Spring and Autumn War, were all with 30,000 or 50,000 people, and they could make contributions within a few months, and the decisive battles such as Chengpu and Yanling could be divided in one day. Now it is different, all countries have been merged, divided into seven major warring states, all known as ten thousand times, with thousands of miles of land, a large city with a radius of thousands of feet, and a large city with tens of thousands of household registrations facing each other, and 30,000 people may not even be able to surround a corner of the city, and it is even more insufficient to conduct field battles......"

After a while, Shu Qi scratched his head and said, "It seems that what Ma Fujun said makes sense." ”

Mingyue said with a smile: "The position is different, An Pingjun defeated the Yan of 10,000 times with 7,000 disadvantages, and the Qi of 2,000 miles, and then the battle of Liaocheng and the battle of Di, the soldiers used were only 350,000. Although Qi returned to the country, the national strength was exhausted and it was difficult to support the protracted war, so An Pingjun could only follow the strategy of elite soldiers, relying on the soldiers of the five capitals stationed in Wudu, as well as the civil cavalry to fight a quick battle, and not to consume too much national strength. An Pingjun considered this from the perspective of the prime minister, and pinned his hopes on a battle to solve the problem, which is understandable. ”

"Ma Fujun is different, he is a general, and the most important thing is not how to save money by fighting, but how to win! As he said, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the countrymen were soldiers and the savages were not soldiers, so the princes' soldiers were only 350,000, but now it is different, once the war is evil, it is to recruit hundreds of thousands of people at every turn to fight a protracted war. For example, when Qi attacked Chu with 200,000 people, it was five years. Zhao attacked Zhongshan with 200,000 people, and it was like five years. ”

"These two or three hundred thousand miles, the real soldiers, only one-third, the other two-thirds, are responsible for transporting grain, digging ditches, building fortifications, Ma Fujun compared the elite in the army to the blade of the sword, and these people are compared to the back of the sword, the ring of the sword, the sword, if the back of the sword is not thick enough, even if the blade is sharp, hit the pillar, stone, the same will be crushed."

Tian Dan's strategy is still the idea of Wu Qi to create military soldiers back then, that is, to use the professional soldiers recruited or passed down from generation to generation as the main force, mixed with the soldiers of the five capitals. Zhao Hao's strategy, and even Qin's strategy, was that all the people were soldiers, mainly conscripts who were temporarily conscripted.

"The two have different opinions, but judging from the results of these years, such a Qi army can fight a small battle, but once it fights a big battle, it will be a little stretched. You look at Kuang Liang's Wen cavalry over there, in terms of personal martial arts, it is not inferior to the Daibei three cavalry of Zhao State, but the number is too small. I heard that the State of Qi only had 600 cavalry in the era of King Xuan of Qi, and now it adds up to only more than 1,000, but the cavalry of the Zhao State is in the tens of thousands, and this is not counting that almost every young man in the three northern counties can ride a horse and gallop, once it is recruited on a large scale, it will be the largest cavalry in the world...... Therefore, on the battlefield, Qi Guowen cavalry faced Zhao Qi, who was often several times his own, how could he be undefeated? ”

That's why Ma Fu believes that An Pingjun not only doesn't know how to use soldiers, but also doesn't understand the current situation in the world...... At that time, although An Pingjun was persuaded on the lips, he was only afraid that he would not be convinced, and the resentment between the two was so settled. ”

Shu Qi suddenly realized, but when Mingyue looked at Zhao Kuo, who was galloping left and right, she couldn't help but be a little worried.

Zhao State's strategy of all the people is a soldier, is based on the prosperity of the country in the past 20 years, relying on the fierce and brave folk customs and appropriate tactics, there is no pressure to fight Yan, Qi, and Wei, basically it does not take more than a year, you can take the city and end the war, but what if you face the Qin State whose national strength, troops, and tactics are stronger than yourself?

This kind of strategy of all the people being soldiers and fighting for more than 400,000 people in the whole country will have a fatal loophole - Zhao Guo's army is not as good as the Qin army in the field battle between the mountains, and it can't fight the Qin State even more if it fights for the national strength! The best result is that the decision is delayed for a long time, and in the end, the country can not bear it, so it can only rush to a decisive battle and gamble on the fortune of the country.

This dead knot that led to the tragedy of Changping may have been doomed since Zhao Hao, Lian Po and others set the national policy of "fighting with the soldiers of the whole country"?

"Qin is like a boulder, a big pillar, an ordinary sword will only break it first, and the warriors of Wei have been defeated by Qin many times, which has proved this. There is no way out by simply learning from Wei and Qi to play the elite soldier policy, and five years is not enough, how can I untie this knot? Mingyue fell into distress......

At this time, the dusk is approaching, and the hunting is almost over, and the hunting teams have gathered their teams, ready to count the prey before dark, and each team will dedicate the hunt to the prince of Qi, and then Qi Xiang will judge who is the best today......

In the meantime, there were also some unlucky eggs who were hit and bitten by wild beasts and were carried away on carts.

There were no casualties on Mingyue's side, but when the team was closed, Shu Qi's face changed after counting the number of people, and he came back to inform Mingyue: "Son, there is no Lu Jujian!" ”
