"My son meets his mother." In front of the main hall, Zhao Dan led the ministers to salute his mother respectfully.

"The ministers will meet the Queen Mother." The ministers then bowed to Zhao Weihou, but their voices were a little messy.

"Son, help me into the main hall." Zhao Wei Houtian was slightly displeased when she saw the behavior of the ministers, and she said without anger.

"No!" Zhao Dan replied, his tone a little humble. Then Zhao Dan carefully helped his mother into the main hall.

"What is the reason why the queen mother is here?" Zhao Dan asked with a little puzzlement while helping his mother move forward slowly.

"Your father has given me the royal seal for safekeeping, and I have come here to stamp your amnesty and reward will." Zhao Weihou said lightly: "By the way, I will also ask for a reward for your brother." ”

Zhao Dan understood as soon as she heard it, she was exchanging the seal for her brother's reward. So Zhao Dan asked cautiously: "Then according to my mother's wishes, what kind of reward should I give my brother?" ”

"I think your brother is Chang'anjun, and 500 households are good, what do you say?" Zhao Wei asked rhetorically.

"If the child dares not to obey his mother's orders, he will follow his mother's words and make his younger brother Chang'anjun and eat thousands of households." Zhao Dan ordered Xiangguo Pingyuanjun. Obviously, Zhao Wei came here to declare his rights and status, and in the face of his mother's aggressiveness, what else could Zhao Dan say, so he had no choice but to agree.

Pingyuan Jun quickly added a reward to Chang'an Jun to the edict, and then handed the cloth to Zhao Weihou. Zhao Weihou took out a brocade box from his sleeve, then opened the box, took out the Wang seal, and stamped the seal on the cloth, the will took effect immediately, and the cloth became a holy decree.

"Son, if you have any will to be issued in the future, come to me. You are still young and have not experienced the world, and your mother and I will barely support you for a few years. Wait until you are familiar with the government, I will hand over the royal seal to you" Zhao Weihou's voice was not loud, but it shocked the ministers like thunder.

After speaking, Zhao Weihou slowly left the main hall, and Zhao Dan and Pingyuan Jun stood on the main hall crying and laughing.

The average age of the Warring States Period was less than 50 years old, and men had to marry wives and have children at the age of fifteen. The so-called youth is just an excuse.

"This woman looks like she's going to seize power! From now on, my Zhao Kingdom will be controlled by women. The thought crossed the minds of many courtiers.

"Xiangguo, please proclaim! Later, fast horses were sent to spread the news of the amnesty throughout the country. After a long while, Zhao Dan raised his breath and said.

After the decree of amnesty and reward was issued, the mother became the queen and moved to the palace with Zhao Jie's sister Zhao Huan, and Zhao Jie became the crown prince and had to live alone in the huge prince's mansion.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

On the tenth day after Zhao Dan ascended the throne, in the Prince's Mansion, in the martial arts field, Zhao Jie was fighting with the guards in the palace.

After going out to study for more than a year, after going through a lot of hardships, Zhao Jie's martial arts have also made great progress. After dozens of rounds, the guards were defeated.

The maid standing on the side handed the face towel to Zhao Jie, who was already sweating profusely, and Zhao Jie took it casually and stroked his face. After wiping it, Zhao Jie handed the face towel back to the maid who was still standing, and then instructed the new personal maid he had appointed: "Yanjing, this prince is going out, you bring my set of civilian clothes." You will follow me out later, and you will serve you wherever you go. ”

The new personal maid is called Yanjing, which is one of the girls who bought it back at the beginning, this girl is clever and clever, and she is the key training object of Xingyi at the beginning, and she is more familiar with Zhao Jie's daily life, so after returning from this trip, Zhao Jie appointed her as the new personal maid.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Jie walked out of the prince's mansion with Yanjing. Walking on the road, Zhao Jie found that Handan had not changed much. The joy of the new king's accession to the throne has blown away the sorrow of the old king, and the streets have once again become prosperous.

"Ma Fuzi is talking to people in the Talent Pavilion, let's go and see it!" Suddenly, a man ran out of the road and shouted.

As soon as the words fell, the road instantly became noisy, and people began to talk in groups of three and five in a party.

Some people who know Ma Fuzi said: "Ma Fuzi is talking about soldiers, go and see!" ”；

Some people who often listen to Ma Fuzi talk about soldiers said: "Every time Ma Fuzi talks about soldiers, people benefit a lot, you must listen to it!" ”；

Some people who haven't heard Ma Fuzi talk about soldiers said: "Ma Fujun's art of war is superb, and his son will not be bad, so he can't miss it!" "Anyway, the streets are full of talk about horses.

"Is this the idolatry of old?" Zhao Jie secretly thought to himself: "Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, my brother has heard your name for a long time, and I haven't seen you yet, today I want to see what kind of person you are." ”

At this moment, a majestic voice came from behind him: "Don't you want to go and see, why don't you go forward with Zaixia." ”

Zhao Jie turned his head when he heard this, and the person who spoke was a strange young man who was less than 30 years old. "Who are you? Do you know me? Zhao Jie asked.

"In the lower Yanmen county guard, and also led the acting county guard Li Mu, this trip to the national capital to report on work, I don't know the son." Li Mu replied, his voice full of anger.

"Li Mu, alive." Zhao Jie was secretly happy. "I haven't consulted the childe's name yet." Seeing that Zhao Jie had no reaction, Li Mu asked.

"In Xia Zhao Jie, the general is invited, so let's go forward together!" Zhao Jie introduced himself.

When Li Mu heard this, his face showed surprise, and he hurriedly asked, "Gongzi is the current prince?" ”

Zhao Jie nodded. Li Mu wanted to worship, but Zhao Jie hurriedly stopped him.

"General Li, this time I am on patrol, please don't make a noise." Zhao Jie leaned into Li Mu's ear and whispered.

Li Mu nodded when he heard this, indicating that he understood. Subsequently, Zhao Jie and Li Mu went to the Seeking Talent Hall hand in hand.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The Seeker Hall is still the same as before, and there are no major changes. When Zhao Jie came to the Seeking Talent Hall, the two-story pavilion was already crowded with people. Being on the outermost stage, Zhao Jie tried to squeeze in, but failed.

"Looks like we're late." Zhao Jie smiled bitterly at Li Mu: "I knew that I should have come by carriage." ”

"Forget it, let's come back next time!" Li Mu also said helplessly: "Let's go!" ”

Zhao Jie nodded, with a sad face, and walked out of the Talent Pavilion. Suddenly, Zhao Ying's voice came to his ears: "Brother Jie, why are you here too!" Zhao Jie turned around, and it turned out that Zhao Ying was here.

"Are you here to talk about the army? Is it impossible to get in? Zhao Ying blinked, smiled, and said proudly, "Do you want me to help you find a place?" ”

"Brother Ying, do you have a way? Help. Zhao Jie was overjoyed when he heard this, and then pleaded.

"Come with me!" Zhao Ying agreed. Then Zhao Jie followed Zhao Ying to a staircase passage, which led directly to the second floor.

"How do you know there's a secret passage!" Walking on the spiraling stairs, Zhao Jie asked suspiciously.

"Don't forget whose property this is." Zhao Ying said proudly. It didn't take long for Zhao Jie to arrive at a guest room on the second floor. At this time, the protagonist downstairs has also begun to debate.

An old man dressed as a Confucian said: "In my opinion, the war should use a small number of soldiers and horses to fight, and if a large number of soldiers are used, the people will not be able to cultivate well, and the grain will have to be sold from other countries and transported over long distances, and the supply of the army cannot be guaranteed. ”

Another middle-aged man in a splendid costume retorted: "It seems that not only do you not know how to use troops, but you also don't understand the current military situation, let me give you an analogy!" ”

"We all know that the sword of Wu can cut cattle and horses, and can cut plates and turns. But if we smash it against the pillar, it will be broken into three pieces; Throw it at the stone and it will shatter into a hundred pieces. This shows that there is a limit to what the Commander Sword can chop, and if the object is cut beyond this limit, even the Commander Sword will not be able to escape the fate of damage. ”

"There is not much difference between slashing with soldiers and using the sword of a cadre, and there is a limit to the strength of a certain number of troops. If you use 30,000 troops to deal with the army of a country with more than 100,000 troops, it will be the same as smashing the sword of a cadre on a pillar or a stone, and you will eventually suffer great damage to yourself. ”

"Let's use the sword of the Wu State as an analogy. Although the sword of the Wu State is sharp, if the back of the sword is not thick enough, the tip of the sword will not be able to stab; If the blade of the sword is not thin enough, the blade will not be able to break things. If you have both the back and the face of the sword, but you don't have the sword ring, the blade, the sword, the belt and other auxiliary things, then you have to hold the blade to pierce the object, so that your fingers will be cut off before the sword enters the object. ”

The same applies to the way of employing troops. If you don't have a dozen or two hundred thousand troops as a part of the sword ring and the sword, you just want to rely on 30,000 elites to run rampant in the world, how can you do it? I'm afraid that as soon as your 30,000 elites go abroad to conquer, the enemy country will invade your country and cut off your way back! Then the enemy will surround you with a huge force, and even if it can't solve you quickly, it should be able to drag you down! ”
