Volume 4 Chapter 9

Chaoge quickly sent someone to pass on the order of the Son of Heaven for Xibohou to celebrate his accession to the throne in the New Year.

This is obviously a conspiracy planned in response to the previous tactful refusal to send the second son to be a proton.

The officials exchanged heads with each other and discussed a lot, some said that they had known that this would be the case, and it was better to let the second prince go, and some said that it was not necessarily, and Chaoge was originally the idea of beating the king.

But the officials were soon shocked by another piece of news, because Di Xin had already sent troops from Chaoge and was approaching Xiqi.

In fact, these two pieces of news are in no particular order, and even said that the date of Di Xin's dispatch of troops may be even earlier, but it may be because they are tightly sealed, and it is not until today that I received the news that Di Xin's army has been set off for half a month, and now I don't know where it has been.

Dazai was very angry in the main hall, Bo Yi Kao was also unkind, Ji Changgao sat on top with a blank expression, and most of the officials were frightened.

Ji Fa was also a little surprised when he heard the news, but he didn't know the situation of Xiqi's troops all along, and he didn't know whether there was any possibility of winning this battle if it was really fought, so he was more curious, but looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, he was afraid that the situation was not optimistic.

At this time, I saw that Dazai finally spoke, so I heard him say with some annoyance: "Your Majesty, I originally said that I would let the second prince go to Chaoge, on the one hand, I can calm Chaoge's doubts, and on the other hand, even if there is something, I can know the movements of Chaoge's army as soon as possible. ”

When Ji Fa heard this, he thought to himself that this guy who looked mighty was really a straw bag, how could he come up with these ideas at every turn, and he was afraid of being like this.

San Yisheng also spoke at this time: "Dazai's words are wrong, these two pieces of news have come first and later, it is obvious that this plan was originally planned against the king, so even if he sent the second prince over, I am afraid that it will be in vain, but he has given Di Xin more means to threaten us out of thin air."

Seeing this, Dazai hurriedly said: "Doctor San, when is this, even if the second son goes, what can happen, even if something happens, anyway, the second son is ...... originally"

Before Dazai finished speaking, Gao sat on Ji Chang and interrupted the second half of Dazai's sentence, "Now I know exactly that the army led by Di Xin has already set off, and it is useless to mention these things now. ”

Dazai was held back for half a sentence, panting for a moment and unable to speak.

San Yisheng was the first to respond: "Your Majesty, even if Emperor Xin sends troops to attack, my Xiqi is not an ordinary small country, and I have not lost the strength to fight!" Natural break can't be lowered"

Nangong Shi also flashed out from the side, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, if it is true that the army has entered Xiqi after surrendering, I am afraid that it will be very bad for Di Xin to turn his face again, and there will be no eggs under the nest." ”

At this time, Bo Yi took a step forward and said: "Father, Di Xin sent troops this time, I heard that he has been preparing for many months, and he is obviously prepared.

Then several officials expressed their opinions one after another, and for a while there was some chaos in the main hall, and even a few officials with different opinions stared at each other and quarreled with each other.

……

Without investigation, there is no right to speak, Ji Fa had to watch coldly from the sidelines, but from the words of everyone, it was found that the officials were really roughly divided into two factions, which just verified what his father Ji Chang had said.

Relatively speaking, the majority of the main battle, and from the point of view of those officials who fought the main battle, most of them were military attachés and generals, and the number of the main surrender was smaller, but the status was higher.

Seeing that everyone was arguing for a while, Ji Fa suddenly thought of something in his heart, so he bowed to an official who looked like a military attache behind him and asked: "Hello General Boda, I don't understand some things, I just want to ask you for advice, I don't know if I can know some details."

This Boda general looks very young, and he is estimated to be about the same as Ji Fa, with long hair tied behind his head, and his face is white and tender, and he doesn't look like a general with troops at all. However, Ji Fa had deliberately noticed when someone introduced him earlier, this young man is not very old, it is said that he is quite good at leading soldiers, and he is a tiger general.

After all, Boda is relatively young, and he has not expressed his opinion in the council hall, and at this moment, when he saw Ji Fa suddenly asking him a question, he was a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "Second son, if you have anything to do, please speak up."

Ji Fa smiled slightly, and asked softly: "I have never been on the battlefield, I don't know what it is like to do war, I don't know if the general can talk about the situation of the battle in detail?" ”

Boda was slightly stunned, looking at Ji Fa in some surprise, and after a while, he found that the expression on Ji Fa's face didn't look like he was joking, and he hesitated for a while before speaking softly to Ji Fa.

Ji Fa really wants to know what the battlefield is like at this time, and in his previous life, he also liked to watch some wars in the era of cold weapons, but this time is earlier than any Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, and I don't know if the real war is really like those rumors, not only the stone axes he has seen will be there, the bronze swords will be, and maybe the wooden sticks and hoes may also appear on the battlefield.

If this is the case, although I don't know a few big characters, I still have some insights accumulated under the thousands of years of culture in later generations, maybe I can really come up with some high-level tricks.

After listening to Boda's explanation, Ji Fa finally had a general understanding of the battle at this time, sure enough, it was an era earlier than cold weapons, bronze swords were used by the guards of princes and nobles, ordinary soldiers did not have any, even if it was a well-trained elite army, in fact, it was not necessarily a hand, more or stone such as stone axes, stone locks, copper simple weapons, etc., if it was a team of tens of thousands of people, weapons like bronze were even less per capita, This is true even in the Son of Heaven's most powerful army, which claims to be the most powerful army today.

This Boda has been on the battlefield, but it doesn't seem to be too many times, and he is a little excited when he talks about it, as if he wants to fight a few more times to enjoy it.

Ji Fa listened carefully and secretly thought about how to evaluate the combat effectiveness of this army, but there was only one thing that caught his attention, just as he had heard in Shennongtang, there was another thing in this army that was extremely powerful, in addition to the largest number of ordinary slaves fighting, there were also many domesticated beasts involved.

Beasts account for a large part of the army, such as the most common herds of cattle and snakes, and there are often many animal trainers in the elite team, these beast trainers train the beasts on weekdays, and lead the beasts to fight during the war.

"Slaves are the least valuable, even less than the domesticated beasts," said Bertha.

"Sure enough, it's still the slave society closest to the primitive society!" , Ji Fa squinted his eyes and listened carefully, and slowly had a plan in his heart.
