Strength, for a warrior, is life.

Those of them who are military generals, martial arts are either put in the first place or secondary, and in a certain way, compared to many things, they have to be cherished.

Now the group of people who have come with Li Zheng are handsome and talented, but they are very different from characters like Zhou Yu. Handsome talents like Zhou Yu like to strategize, win thousands of miles, and win with wisdom.

And they prefer to crisscross the battlefield, lead troops to rush into battle, and are more bloody and heroic!

Therefore, martial arts are the last guarantee of life for them.

Therefore, after seeing Lu Bu's expression and learning about the existence of the power of battle qi, they all wanted to have this power immediately.

Even Sun Ce, who once had ambitions in the world, would rather be a cavalry pawn in World War I to seek strength.

Li Zheng smiled and waved his hand: "This matter is not in a hurry. You still have to study in the academy for a period of time before you can enter the army, rest assured, our army will conduct a cavalry selection assessment every year, as long as you can pass the test, you can become a cavalry! ”

Moreover, even if Li Zheng's subordinates are infantry, as long as they can become officers above the rank of captain, they can be equipped with war horses, and they can naturally comprehend the battle spirit.

After listening to Li Zheng's words, these nineteen fierce generals gradually calmed down their excitement and calmed down a lot.

But the firmness and fiery in everyone's eyes are looming.

The Plane Gate was properly handled, but Li Zheng was not prepared to explore the other world immediately.

The affairs of his own world have not yet been sorted out. At the very least, you have to take back all the land in the Central Plains, Hebei, Jingzhou, and Jiangnan, and suppress the fierce beasts to the death, and then you can draw out your strength and explore that world.

Li Zheng's idea of the opposite world is to conquer.

All of this involves a lot of things. In addition to the need to settle the interior, there are also great requirements for the population.

Now the entire Origin Empire has a population of just over 30 million. With such a small population, it is not enough to even conquer this world, let alone conquer the other world immediately.

The meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be walked step by step.

Now that the Plane Gate is standing there, there is no need to worry about what moths will come out of the other world. It is completely possible to put your mind at ease, work hard for development, and diligently cultivate internal affairs.

After returning to Lingzhou, Li Zheng summoned Xun You, Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu to discuss the matter of counterattacking the fierce beast and recovering the territory.

The result is a three-pronged approach!

First, the defensive strategy was abandoned, and the armies of all units fought steadily and steadily, gradually advancing the front.

The focus should be on the Hebei region. Compared with the south of the big river, the area of Hebei is much smaller. So starting from here, let's test the difficulty first.

Therefore, this first strategy requires strengthening the troops on the front line of Taihang Mountain, and a part of the remaining armies must be separated and transferred to this line.

Second, the elite who have comprehended the spirit of battle will form a squad to take the initiative to attack, exterminate the tricky beasts, and bloom in all directions to clear the obstacles for the advance of the army.

As time passed, perhaps a way was found, and more and more war cavalry comprehended the battle spirit when they fought fiercely with the fierce beasts.

Forming a squad of these extremely lethal elite soldiers, focusing on taking care of those powerful and tricky beasts, will naturally reduce the difficulty of advancing the army.

Third, the Mercenary Guild is also an excellent auxiliary force. Although the mercenaries are far inferior to the soldiers in the army in all aspects, these mercenaries have their own local methods, such as fighting guerrillas and dealing with fierce beasts.

After deciding on this strategy, Li Zheng turned to discuss with the three of them about promoting martial arts among the people.

This matter has been a case for a long time, but because of the submission of the princes and the establishment of the state, it can only be temporarily pressed. Now the folk martial arts are all concentrated in Jiuzhou City, and they can be gathered at any time to work together to compile the martial arts.

However, after some thought, Xun You and the three felt that there were some omissions.

In Xun You's view, the core content of physical fitness strengthening can be gradually promoted. However, the peripheral content of the martial arts scriptures compiled by the centralized folk martial artists cannot be extended to the people.

The stunts of these martial artists are mostly killing skills, which can be called fighting styles. Once it is promoted, the people have practiced the heat, not to mention whether it will affect the rule of the empire, but it will definitely cause instability to public security.

If you don't learn how to play, people will clash with each other, and at most you will break a few bones. Once you learn how to fight, you can easily kill people if you greet them with every blow.

Therefore, the fighting skills of the martial arts must not be promoted among the people.

When Li Zheng heard this, he thought about it carefully, felt reasonable, and said with a smile: "Gongda is far-sighted, and I am very relieved. Although the martial arts have not yet been compiled, the fighting skills in it cannot be passed on lightly. As for influencing the rule of the Empire, I have a different view. ”

"Maybe you think that after the strengthening of the physique is promoted to the people, it will make the people's physical quality rise sharply, and it will be difficult to control. This is not the case. ”

"It's a holistic thing. In the past, the people's physique was weakened, but after the promotion of physical strengthening, the people were strong. There is still no difference between people. The whole is still the same, so how can this cause turmoil? ”

"The stronger a person is, the higher his heart will be, and he will have confidence in doing things, and he will not be weak when he is idle."

"Let's use an analogy. If in the past, there were those who were extremely vicious, or rogues and the like, who went around killing people, and because the people were weak and not tough enough, it caused turmoil in the country. But now, this kind of unstable factor is even more difficult for them to behave in the face of people who are strong and energetic and will not be weak when they are idle. On the contrary, there are benefits, and there are no harms. ”

"As long as we don't go on a business trip and don't boil the people's grievances, the rule of the empire will become more and more stable, and there will never be turmoil!"

"Furthermore, physical enhancement is not just a welfare for the people? Is my army a dry eater? ”

After listening to Li Zheng's narration, the three of them bowed slightly.

"The essence of human beings includes both spiritual and physical aspects. The spirit is virtue, and the body must be physically strong. The unity of the two is king. That's what I mean when I want everyone to be like a dragon. ”

Li Zheng said with a smile: "By the way, don't go to the end, you Zaifu are lagging behind the common people." After going down, each official above the rank of county guard must also be equipped with war horses. I hope that you, the civil officials, will also understand the spirit of war. ”

Xun You and the others looked helpless, but they said that their bodies were strong enough now, and there was no need for that.

Li Zheng said: "I was reading historical records during this time, and I remember a sentence from Taishi Gong, 'Don't determine its form and god first, but say, 'I rule the world by myself', why not?'" ’。 Why do you not cultivate virtue and ability, do not practice the body and body, but say, 'I want to rule the whole world'? ”

"Therefore, having both civil and military skills is the avenue. I hope that one day I can see you, civil officials with both ability and integrity, and you can also stimulate the spirit of war. Not to mention that if you go to war, you will have to live at least a few more years, right? Lest in the end, you all go one by one, and I am alone, how lonely? ”

When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but show emotion.

"Alright, let's all disperse."

Li Zheng brushed his sleeves and said, "Summons all folk martial artists, and I will see them in the Jiuzhou City Government Council tomorrow." By the way, the generals in the summoning army will ask them for a martial arts masterpiece in the form of volunteering, in exchange for combat exploits. If you don't want to, forget it, I don't force it. ”

With that, he turned and walked away.

Early the next morning, Li Zheng rode hundreds of carriages and horses, escorted thousands of guards, and arrived at Jiuzhou City.

Now that his emperor is traveling on the bright side, the formation is naturally much larger. Even if Li Zheng was unwilling, Tian Feng and others admonished him, which made him a little helpless.

However, in terms of dress, it is much simpler than formal occasions.

is dressed in a black brocade robe, with a sword at his waist, simple.

When he arrived at the Jiuzhou City Government Council, Tian Feng and others stepped forward to greet him.

got out of the car and drove into the government affairs yuan, surrounded by a group of officials. Tian Feng on the side said: "Your Majesty's matter of taking a concubine, Your Majesty has already handled it properly, I don't know if Your Majesty has any other opinions?" ”

Li Zheng said as he walked: "I can rest assured that you can do things more simply, invite all the family members of the six to the Shenzhou grassland, meet them, and then announce them to the people." ”

"Obey."

"It's all here, right?" Li Zheng asked again.

Xun Yu on the side said: "It's all here." ”

"Okay, then you guys are busy, I'll go see them myself."

took a team of guards, and under the guidance of the attendants, they went to a side hall of the Government Council.

Outside the hall, the attendant shouted: "The Son of Heaven has arrived!" ”

Li Zheng pushed the door in response, and when he looked up, he saw twenty or thirty people of different ages, all with blazing eyes, and all of them with imposing personalities got up together and bowed to Li Zheng: "Meet the Son of Heaven!" ”

"You don't have to be polite, please take a seat!"

Li Zheng smiled, stepped forward, and sat down on the main seat.

Glancing around, I saw that there were twenty or thirty people present.

These twenty or thirty folk martial arts masters are from all over the world. Of course, now all of them have settled under Li Zheng's rule.

Among them were the old and decrepit, and their beards and hair were white.

There are strong middle-aged, tall and tough.

There is a Taoist priest, dressed in a Taoist robe, fluttering like a fairy.

There are even monks, which makes Li Zheng very strange. In this era, although Buddhism had been introduced to China, it was not very accepted by the people and was difficult to develop. But I didn't expect that among the martial artists, there were also monks.

Speaking of which, Li Zheng does not have much affection for Buddhism. It is true that there is a doctrine in it that leads people to goodness. But there are some that are very disgusting.

The thing that advocates the afterlife, Li Zheng hates it very much. In this life, as soon as the grass and trees are in autumn, they will fight for a day. If you accept it and are lucky, you think that you can't do it in this life, and you will come back in the next life, what is it like? The will of man will be worn out, the will will not be firm, the blood will be gone, and he will become a flock of lambs to be slaughtered, so what is it?

What else is there to become a monk, forbidden to get married, crossing people to become Buddhas and so on. If he really wants to cross all the people, the world should be ruined.

Li Zheng didn't think about religious matters before, but now when he saw these monks and monks, he immediately had some new ideas.

As soon as these thoughts passed in his mind, Li Zheng looked at these martial artists with a smile and said, "I summoned you today just because of the compilation of the martial arts. I think you already have some understanding of this. ”

When the edict was issued to summon these martial artists, the reason for this was roughly stated, although it was not elaborated, but the general meaning, these people should have guessed. (To be continued.) )
