Chapter 039: Compete for national strength
――
"Of course, it can't be said in the same day, but Wu Qi is a patriot, the lord of the definite country is also good at scheming, the defended soldiers have not tasted defeat since the reign of the monarch of the patriotic monarch, as far as the general knows, the soldiers of the patriotic fighter battalion are trained according to Wu Qi's Wei Wushu, and the soldiers of the defending country are completely different from the soldiers of other countries. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Sima said in a bad analysis.
Indeed, only the Wei country has the money to maintain a professional military army, the soldiers of the countries are all soldiers of ploughing and warfare, when the war is called, when there is no war, they start to farm and work hard, the Qin army claimed to be 500,000 war Wu Qi 50,000 Wei soldiers did not win, it is not unreasonable, 500,000 cultivators Qin army and a well-equipped and well-trained quasi-professional Wei army to fight, defeat is not unbelievable.
All countries can't afford to raise a professional army because they don't have money, and they don't have money because they can't make money, Wei Zheng encourages business, and the businessmen of the country, especially the arms dealers, are crazy about making money in the world, in a sense, the monarch of the country is the biggest arms dealer in the whole world.
The ancients did not have the concept of a trade surplus and deficit at all, and the country was invisibly extorted from the bottom of the house, and in the end it would only blame the hateful merchants, so the merchants had to be suppressed.
"The general's remarks are too arrogant to destroy his own prestige, and it makes people feel uncomfortable when they hear it." The general casually bowed his hand, said a word, and retreated to his place.
"Knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, and only by carefully investigating the enemy's situation in wartime can you win the battle, not to show the morale of others, but not to underestimate the enemy, the king will hand over 100,000 troops to me, and the general will underestimate the enemy is not responsible for these old Qin people who put their lives in my hands, and the trust of the king is not responsible." Sima Cuo was not angry, but said calmly.
"The last general is guilty, please punish the general." The general said ashamedly.
"There is no need to punish him, save his strength and use it to kill the enemy." Sima sneered.
"General Xie, the last general is willing to lead the army!"
"Good!" Sima Cuo immediately raised the case, the generals' hearts perked, waiting for the commander's order, and after a while, Sima Cuo ordered: "Command the three armies, our army will rise immediately, fall into battle and pull out the camp, follow the guards, step by step, the rhino head will fight, I should fight but not fight, first confront the guards, respond to all changes with the same, and wait and see the changes." ”
"No-!"
In the Yangshan generation, the 100,000 patriotic army in the east, the 100,000 Qin army in the west and the 30,000 remnants of Han and Wei all cautiously advanced towards the Yangshan area.
The journey of 100 miles took almost seven days.
A total of more than 200,000 troops on both sides actually camped at the foot of Yangshan Mountain to confront each other, and there was no sign of attack, and the two armies at the foot of Yangshan formed a situation of confrontation between the north and the south on the Rushui Plain, with the Wei army in the north and the Qin army in the south.
The two armies and battalions faced each other in such a stalemate, and three months passed in a blink of an eye.
In the direction where the camp of the guards is located, at this moment together with the autumn wind, Wei Zheng and the rhino head rode their horses to a small high ground, looking south at the camp tent of the Qin army, Wei Zheng, who was looking at the Qin tent from afar, sighed and said: "Sima Co is indeed a difficult opponent, you see the position of the Qin army, relying on the deep ditch and high base on the west bank of the Rushui to defend without fighting." ”
Having said that, it is not the same to defend the country.
The rhino nodded and said: "Sima Cuo is a famous general who has been on the battlefield for a long time, he is scheming, serious and steady, and when the minister was a minister in the Qin State, he saw one or two from Sima Cuo's town guarding the letter Guguan, this person's army code is as immobile as a mountain, solid as gold, and he will not easily fight without the certainty of victory; If you want to go to war, you will inevitably transport troops like electricity, its speed is like the wind, and the invasion is like fire, which can be seen from the Hangu Pass to destroy the Korean army and the expedition to Bashu as a lone army. ”
"Hahaha, the world has said that the rhino head uses soldiers like treachery, it is difficult to know like yin, its Xu is like a forest, it moves like thunder, Gongsun Yan fights Sima wrong, this battle will be recorded in history, it is really exciting!" Wei Zheng smiled, immediately took the reins of the horse, and left this small plateau leisurely, and the rhino head also withdrew his gaze from the distance overlooking the Qin army's camp tent, and went with Wei Zheng.
On the other side, Sima Cuo was also looking at the camp of the patriotic army in the distance on a certain high ground, and a general who accompanied him said with an anxious look: "General, the confrontation between the two armies has been stalemate for more than three months, and the officers and men of our army are gradually slackening, and their spirit is wilting. ”
The implication is that you want to fight the enemy in a decisive battle!
"The officers and men of our army have slackened and their spirit has gradually dissipated, and the same is true of the enemy officers and soldiers, worry-free!" Sima said without replying, his tone was very calm.
"But if you go on like this, it's not a way after all." The general said anxiously, obviously desperate for battle.
"The guards did not take the initiative to attack when they made an appointment, and our army did not take the initiative to fight, that is, they were anxious to fight, and they were in the middle of the war, and they should not act rashly until they had found out what the enemy's intentions were. Pass on my order and instruct the military affairs officer of the commander-in-chief scout battalion to report the news of the enemy army at any time! Sima Cuo said.
Sima Cuo knew very well that the armies of the two countries were equal in strength and strength, and no one dared to say that they could defeat the enemy in a single battle.
At this moment, the confrontation between Qin and Wei was stalemate in Yangshan like a duel between two powerful swordsmen, motionless as a mountain, moving like thunder.
Sima Cuo saw the soldiers of the enemy army in battle, as if he saw the shadow of the invincible Wei Wushu who swept the Qin army in the past, and he was the genius of the world, and the commander of Gongsun Yan, who was known as the head of the rhino, naturally did not dare to act rashly. Such a controlled army that is not weaker than the Qin army is not as simple as sweeping the Three Jin Dynasty and conquering Bashu.
Needless to say, Gongsun Yan has a relationship with the Qin army, knowing the courage of the Qin army's sharp soldiers, this battle is regarded by the rhino as a battle for turning over in this life, only victory is not allowed to lose, and Wei Zheng's original intention is to confront the Qin army first, so naturally he will not rush into battle.
The two armies faced each other, and the commanders of both sides paid enough attention to each other, so that there would be a scene of stalemate outside the wilderness for months.
Nearly 200,000 troops of the two armies of Qin Wei were stalemate in Yangshan for a generation, and the whole world was looking sideways, and countless people were speculating and figuring out which side would win this battle, betting on the absolute proportion of Qin's victory, the prestige of the Qin army's tiger and wolf was killed, and the invincible power of the Qin army was not said by Zhang Yi's mouth.
It's just that at the moment, the confrontation between the two armies has lasted for three months of psychological warfare, which has made the world's heroes who are concerned about this battle anxious first.
Wei Zheng is not in a hurry at all, and is even ready to confront the Qin army here for a year or two, Wei Guo has been recuperating for so many years, and the national strength is enough to support the stalemate and consumption, so it doesn't hurt to let these 100,000 troops stay in this Yangshan and eat nothing for a year or two.
In the three months of the previous confrontation, Wei Guo opened the treasury, first purchased grain at a high price from the Song State, and kept opening warehouses and hoarding grain in case of trouble, on the other hand, the Chu State was also providing grain and grass for the front army, the two major allies of the Wei State, the Song State of Fat, the Chu State was vast, although it had experienced a fiasco, it finally returned to a solid family, and the most important thing was to be happy to see others and the Qin State fight to the death.
Without spending a single soldier, providing some food and grass can weaken Qin's mortal enemy, and King Chu Huai is happy to see this scene, and he is even more happy.
On the other hand, the Qin State, although it is the head of the group, but it itself urgently needs to recuperate with the people because of the successive wars, and the stalemate at this time is undoubtedly an overdraft of the national strength of the Qin State, and the Qin State also has two major allies, but Han and Wei are dying, and they cannot be compared with the Song and Chu countries at all.
The comparison of the national strength of the two "military blocs" in the current situation is judged by superiority.
If the two countries are at loggerheads, if the strength of the two sides is equal, it is an inevitable result of stalemate and attrition, and this is not just a competition for the combat effectiveness of the two armies, but a competition for national strength.
Wei Zheng is to occupy the advantage of national strength can have no fear, knowing that the Qin State that has not fully developed the land of Bashu cannot afford it, then it will be consumed with the Qin State, and the tigers, wolves and birds of prey will also eat, and it is in vain if there is no strength to be fierce, and the reason is so concise.
Wei Zheng can have no fear, but Ying Si can't have no fear.
