Chapter 43: Tension
The reason why they didn't directly use the army to transport food was to hide people's eyes, after all, the main reason why the Qin people made a move was to let Korea and Wei fight hard. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the eyes of the Qin people, as long as Korea and Wei were pinched, then no matter who won or lost, it would be the strength of these two countries.
Obviously, for the Qin people who are eager to open up the road to the east, it is all earned.
……
Zheng Cheng's Xiangguo Mansion.
A wooden case on both sides of the sitting Shen does not harm and the public is extravagant.
On the table were scattered desserts, a kettle, and a steaming glass in front of each of them.
In addition, a copper basin was placed next to each of them, and the fiery red charcoal slowly exuded a hot smell in it. Xu has been doing this for a long time, and the faces of the two of them are flushed.
Picking up the water cup and taking a sip of tea, Xiang Guoshen said lightly: "How about it, what I said is right!" Once the preparations are complete, the king will definitely issue an order to destroy Wei. Now that the grain and grass of the Qin people have been sent, I think they should have crossed the border, and the grain and grass can definitely be transported to Zhengcheng in less than three days, and when the time comes, what excuse do you have? ”
Obviously, listening to the meaning of this passage, Gong Zhongxuan did not want to go to war with the Wei State.
In fact, when he took on this tricky job, he originally wanted to drag it on for three years. After all, people change, and there are so many things that can happen in three years.
In three years, Han Zhaohou may forget his hatred, or he may see the form and give up the war. In three years, the Wei State may be fighting with the Qin people, and it may be easier for the Great Wei in three years.
It is also possible that the Wei state has risen three years later and has regained its former glory. Han Zhaohou was jealous, and he might forget this hatred.
In short, there will always be a trace of change if it drags on, as long as you can grasp a trace of it, then Dawei will be a proposal in the past.
In a hurry, what you need to gather what you need to fight Wei is just to prepare in advance, in case you have to go to war, and you are not ready, then the sin is that you will definitely not be able to bear the ten princesses.
But things are always unsatisfactory, first three years above the court turned into one year. Then the Qin people made another fork, providing free grain, grass and baggage, and the court also claimed that they were willing to form an alliance with Korea and jointly seek Wei.
These variables made the small abacus in Gong Zhong's heart fall through the cracks.
The situation had reached a point where he had no control at all.
Silently looking at Shen Buxian, Gong Zhong shook his head helplessly, and sighed softly: "People are not as good as heaven, since the king is bent on destroying Wei, we will do our best as courtiers." Can ......"
Speaking of this, the voice suddenly stopped, paused slightly, and Gong Zhongxuan controlled the emotions in his heart for a while, and said, "But the king shouldn't listen to the words of the Qin people!" It is true that the Qin people are bent on taking Hexi, but the current situation is obviously to let my Korea and Wei consume, and in the end they will reap the benefits of the fishermen! ”
The words that revealed grievances everywhere already represented the slightest complaint in Gong Zhongxuan's heart towards Han Zhaohou.
Talking about kings in private, if this age reaches the ears, it must be a capital offense.
As if Shen Buxian, who didn't hear it, just drank the fragrant tea by himself, and then closed his eyes slightly, but there was a light sigh in his mouth: "As you just said, as a courtier, I will do my best, it is better to talk about what else can be delayed for a while, or you should also go to the barracks to practice well, otherwise, I am afraid that in a month, it will be the three armies to sacrifice the flag, and it will be too late." ”
"Thank you, Lord Xiangguo for your advice, please take a lot of pain, and the lower officials will leave and rush to Nanyang." As the words fell, he drank the fragrant tea in his hand in one gulp.
Immediately afterwards, the two got up together, and Gong Zhongxuan walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion together accompanied by Xiang Guoshen Buxian.
Gong Zhong got into the carriage extravagantly, and after returning to his house and ordering some trivial matters, he rode his fast horse to Nanyang.
Shen Buxian, as a person who handed over to the Qin State, got on his own carriage and went straight to the Han-Qin border to pick up the caravan that delivered grain.
……
The next day, at noon.
In the military camp in Nanyang, people shouted and neighed, 60,000 troops in groups of 1,000 people, lined up in a row, holding various weapons in their hands, and constantly practicing a series of basic and simple actions such as slashing, sprinting, and resisting with the swaying of the flags in the hands of thousands of people.
Because most of the weapons used are Ge, halberds, spears and other weapons, the slashing of the training at this time is nothing more than lifting the soldiers high and then letting the blade quickly fall freely.
The sprint is generally a combination of soldiers armed with spears and halberds and shield soldiers, which can open up a certain distance and reduce certain casualties, and this training method is also a characteristic of the Warring States campaign.
Of course, they were only a single air sprint, and there was no talk of combat practice, because the conditions of this era did not allow it.
On the makeshift wooden platform, Gong Zhongxuan looked at these Korean soldiers who had practiced seriously, and his face, which was always a little melancholy, finally showed a little relief.
Wherever his gaze fell, the cold blade pierced the air with bursts of cold light, although he couldn't see anything, but Gong Zhong felt that all the soldiers here were practicing hard, because their arms were so steady and powerful.
After raising soldiers for thousands of days, these Korean warriors finally showed their edge. Maybe for these bloody men, the battlefield is the final way home.
It was only then that he realized that perhaps not everyone was as afraid of war as he was.
Just as Shen Bu is bent on recuperating and recuperating, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, a qualified and satisfactory Xiangguo should be like this. But a qualified soldier should also have inner blood and bravery, and this feeling may only be experienced and shown on the battlefield.
……
In the military camp east of the Wei River.
Wu Ming's first thing after returning was also to train the army. The 15,000 soldiers who remained were divided into three groups by Wu Ming, each with 5,000 people. At the same time, he divided the 5,000 veterans who had participated in the war into three groups.
Every day, in addition to the necessary morning jog, Wu Ming also asked everyone to change their weapons into the latest supply of long swords in the treasury, and let all the soldiers practice the most basic assassination and fighting.
In Wu Ming's view, the long sword is far more real than the weapons of halberd and Ge. Although it was shorter, the soldiers he wanted in the future were not only armored civilians who would only hold those bulky Ge free-falling, but also powerful warriors with strong individual combat effectiveness, basic martial arts movements, and the basic use of swords and spears.
In addition to these.
At noon, the original shirtless training was changed to a one-on-one pair of empty-handed individual soldiers and shirtless training. In order to practice the agility and combat ability of the soldiers.
