Chapter 122: The Verge

Zhao Yong has not really grasped the power of Zhao State yet, and he doesn't know what it means that power needs checks and balances. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

However, Dai Yan can learn a lesson from the history of later generations. Now that the Qin state has begun to rise, it will become stronger and stronger in the future. The one who made the greatest contribution to the strength of the Qin State was probably the Qin Law formulated by Shang Ying for the Qin State.

And the purpose of Shang Ying's reform is mainly to integrate the entire Qin State, so that the resources of the entire Qin State can be concentrated in the hands of the King of Qin! The national policy implemented by Shang Ying for the reform of the Qin State is not the imperial way of the ancient holy kings ruling the world, nor is it the royal way of ruling the world with benevolence and righteousness, but the hegemony of conquering others by force to make people obey themselves!

In order to achieve this goal, the entire Qin State attaches great importance to the efficiency of governing the country! For Qin, all policies that affected its accumulation of national strength should be abolished; Any industry that cannot be used for its domination of the world is not allowed to develop! In other words, the entire Qin State is a tightly knit war machine, this machine is born for war, and all the resources of the Qin State should serve the war of the Qin State!

Therefore, everything that cannot become a part of this machine must disappear from the Qin State! As a result, the nobles of Shiqing Shilu disappeared from the Qin State, and the long-standing culture was no longer seen in the Qin State, and the beautiful poems of Pujia also disappeared from the memory of the Qin people!

And the most serious problem of the Qin State is actually that Shang Ying attaches too much importance to the efficiency of the Qin State's chariot, so he does not put a brake on this chariot!

And the King of Qin is the driver of the chariot of the Qin State. If the driver is talented, then the chariot can indeed run at high speed under the guidance of this driver, crushing all the enemies of the Qin State!

However, if the driver of the chariot of the Qin State was unconscious, because the entire Qin State was called a part of the war machine, in fact, no one would be able to stop the driver from going on a rampage!

The only people who could make the driver of this chariot sober were people from outside the Qin State. This is actually the biggest reason why Qin is good at using other people's talents for his own use, there is no way, only outsiders can clearly point out the problems of Qin and correctly guide the progress of Qin's chariot!

Today's reckless Qin State is actually the beginning of this kind of malpractice. In later generations, Qin II, who sat in the position of emperor, was toyed with by Zhao Gao in applause, and there was a problem with the center of Qin, and finally the chariot of Qin completely collapsed, which was the outbreak of this kind of malpractice!

Zhao Yong really can't appreciate this now.

Outside Linzi City, Kuang Zhang faced thousands of brave fighters, and Chen said with an impassioned look: "Everyone, Kuang Zhang, the new commander of the king!" If you can give up the privileged life in your hometown, come to this barracks, and go to the battlefield, it shows that you are true warriors! I am very impressed with your courage! After speaking, Kuang Zhang gave a deep salute to these skilled fighters!

In the audience, among the technical fighters who listened to Kuang Zhang's speech, Gao Yang, who had experienced many battles, was also among them.

This native of Linzi, who has a wife and a concubine, experienced a painful defeat in the Battle of Xuzhou! At that time, his friend Dong Guojing died in front of his eyes, and he truly saw the cruelty of war for the first time!

After the Battle of Xuzhou, nearly 100,000 people were defeated by the Chu army, and Gao Yang also took advantage of the large number of people to sneak out of the battlefield. He is a ranger in Linzi City, and he has special skills for the identification of terrain, and with this skill, he actually sneaked home from the front line of the Xuzhou battlefield!

His wives and concubines were terrified when they heard from him the scene of the defeat he relayed. The two were also afraid that Gao Yang would be hurt if he went out to fight again, so they also tolerated him staying at home.

Even later, when the State of Qi fought in the State of Zhao, the Qi army was tight in the Jishui defense line, the King of Qi recruited troops from the city of Linzi, and his wives and concubines all worked together to hide him for his safety! This made Gao Yang understand his wife and concubine more, and he didn't mind the past that mocked him before.

Gao Yang had seen the cruelty of the battlefield and thought that he would never go to the battlefield again. However, to his surprise, just over a year ago, his wife became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Subsequently, his concubine became pregnant again.

After being a nobleman of the Qi Kingdom, Gao Yang still has a lot of honor for his identity as a "scholar". He had been supported by his wife and concubine before, and he was already guilty. Now that there are two more mouths in the family, life at home is beginning to become more and more difficult, and he himself can't make the slightest contribution to the family, Gao Yang is deeply ashamed of this!

The thought of using the sword in his hand to get rich and noble once again ignited in his heart!

After waiting for more than half a year, he heard the news that King Qi had summoned the martial fighters again, so he went to sign up for it as soon as possible. And the leader of these soldiers was the general Kuang Zhang, whom he had known before! This made Gao Yang feel a lot more at ease.

In the audience, Gao Yang silently listened to Kuang Zhang's Chen say: "I know that most of you have been on the battlefield, have fought great victories, and have also experienced painful defeats!" The fact that all of you are willing to go to war shows that you have the determination to seize wealth and get ahead! A certain Kuang Zhang hereby vows: As long as you follow me sincerely, I will lead you to victory and let you return to your hometown! ā€

Kuang Zhang's majestic figure and passionate tone made many fighters in the arena more confident! So they shouted at Kuang Zhang one by one: "I am willing to listen to Zhangzi's order!" ā€

Then Kuang Zhang deliberately checked the drills of these martial fighters, and specially selected 1,500 highly skilled soldiers from these technical fighters and organized them together, and Gao Yang was also among these 1,500 people.

Most of the 1,500 people selected were former rangers, and nearly 1,000 of them came from various countries to the Qi country. Kuang Zhang treats these people very well, every meal is served with big fish and meat, but his training is very strict!

In the past, most of the training of martial artists was divided into different barracks according to their weapons. However, these people who were specially selected by Kuang Zhang did not do any weapon training at all, and Kuang Zhang deliberately let them engage in hand-to-hand combat with their bare hands! And because there are no weapons, the damage that can be caused by fighting with bare hands is also greatly reduced, and when Kuang Zhang trains these people, they let them put themselves on the real battlefield to fight!

In the past month, the nearly 30,000 skilled fighters gathered by the Qi State, Kuang Zhang, put the main targets of his training in the hands of this specially selected 1,500 people.

When a month later, when the main force of the Qin army began to gradually approach the Qi State, Kuang Zhang led nearly 30,000 Qi troops to meet the Qin army, which now has an "invincible" reputation in the whole world.

As for the direction in which various countries attacked Qi State, in fact, Qi State had some expectations. It is most advantageous to attack Qi from west to east, except for the northern part of Qi, that is, from the southeast of Qi.

Although the Qin State has been shrinking in the West before, Sun Yan, the great Liang of the Qin State, is worthy of being a famous man in the world! He is very familiar with the geography and topography of the world, and he is good at analyzing the wars that occur in various countries.

For the war of Qi along the Jishui Song Dynasty, Gongsun Yan was extremely concerned. Therefore, when Gongzihua led the army to attack Qi this time, he chose an optimal path for the Qin army to attack Qi: go down the Jishui River, take Juye first, and then pass through Sanqiu, Kangfu, etc., and directly take the Pinglu of Qi!

For the Qin army, as long as they can capture Pinglu, an important town of Qi in the southeast, they will definitely be able to bring Qi to its knees!

This is also the lowest strategic goal of the Qin army in this battle!

Of course, Gongsun Yan, as a genius who cultivates both soldiers and vertical and horizontal families, will certainly not choose a complete formation diagram like the later Song Taizong to cut down on Liao and let Gongzihua do it according to the formation, and what he provided to Gongzihua is just a suggestion.

As for Gongzihua outside, how to fight, it still depends on Gongzihua's own specific situation. Gongsun Yan actually agrees with the principle of "generals are outside, and military orders are not subject to them".
