King Wu saw that Sun Wu's art of war was a family of its own, and he had a magnificent style, and he was amazed. Although he hired a genius like Sun Wu, thinking about the actual situation of Wu Guo, he couldn't help but turn his joy into worry.

"Sir, do you think that the conditions for Wu Guo's war are ripe?" Because at this point, there are differences between He Lu and the soldiers, and for this reason, there is still a small gap in the hearts of the monarchs and ministers. It is also necessary for bystanders to ask the opinions of military advisors.

"The minister thinks that the soldier is also the murder weapon! A country should consider the use of troops when it meets the requirements in five areas. Using soldiers is like making fish for cooking: understanding the characteristics of fish, grasping the appropriate heat, having ingredients available, and adding a haode cook, the reason is the same. ”

"Which five aspects? Please sir. ”

"One is the 'Dao', that is, from the monarch and the minister, down to the common people, can be condensed into a whole, and only the use of troops with the support of the people can meet the standard of 'Dao'; It is necessary to adapt to the weather and what kind of logistics support is needed in what season. The third is 'land', which is the geographical advantage. Since the troops are dispatched, they must have an understanding of the route and the terrain, and make rational use of the terrain to create good combat conditions for themselves; Fourth, 'generals' means that there is a suitable commander who is competent for this operation; and fifth, 'time' is the appropriate time to use troops. ”

"In my opinion, what is the right time to send troops?"

"The national strength of Chu is far stronger than that of our country, and only by waiting for the political turmoil, the collapse of the people's will, and the occurrence of civil strife in the Chu State can it be regarded as the right time. A country is often not easy to be destroyed by external shili, and often from the internal attrition will hit the country even harder, and this kind of internal strife will hurt the country far more violently than losing the city and losing the land. Therefore, waiting for such a moment in the state of Chu is the perfect time for us to defeat the strong with the weak. According to Chen's observation, this day has not been too long. ”

He Lu nodded and smiled:

"Although, Sun Wuzi is eloquent and has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, but my Wu country is in a corner, and the country is small and the soldiers are small, even if the monarch and the minister get along, and the army and the people are in the same spirit, what can I do? The widows have not easily sent troops to attack Chu, that is, the difference in national strength between Chu and Wu is too great, and the risk is extremely high. I wonder what the military advisor thinks about this? ”

"The king has set a national policy of suppressing the Yue Kingdom and working together to defeat Chu. Although the state of Chu has a large population and a vast territory, the art of war of the ministers is not only applicable to the army, but also ordinary people and even women, who can also form a certain combat effectiveness after receiving a certain amount of training. ”

King Wu couldn't help but applaud and laughed: "Sir's meaning, the widow thinks it's an exaggeration." From ancient times to the present, the widow has never heard of a woman who can take up a sword and spear, form a line, and form a fighting force. There should be a difference between the theory and the actual situation, and the theory must be tested by practice before the truth of the theory can be known. ”

Sun Wu's face was slightly red, and he strived: "If the king thinks that what the minister said is a bit broad, the minister asks the king to hand over the maids of the harem to the minister for training, if the minister can't let them reach the order and prohibit, and the army will be formed, then ask the king to ask for guilt!" ”

He Lu agreed, and on the second day, he performed martial arts in the school field, and 300 palace maids performed with Sun Wu.

That night, he returned to the palace and talked with Queen Kiko about Sun Wu's performance.

Noriko smiled: "The palace maids are laughing and young, how can they obey orders?" How does the concubine look at this Mr. Sun? ”

"Sun Wu asked the widow to send two concubines as captains, and two others from the army, one as a 'military official' to be responsible for issuing military orders, and the other as a 'law enforcement' to be responsible for maintaining military discipline and ordering rewards and punishments. Another drummer was selected to beat the drum next to cheer, leading the armor soldiers to line up on the altar of the general, in order to strengthen the army, which seems to be somewhat interesting. ”

"Who does the king want to send as captain?"

"The left Ji Red Cicada, the right Ji Qiuling. This second Ji is smart and clever, and it seems that he can serve as the captain. ”

Noriko is not: "Although the training of the harem cannot be compared with the army, training is always a dangerous thing. The second concubine is deeply favored by the king, why put them in danger? ”

He Lu Daxiao said: "Madame said too seriously, right? Sun Wu trains and exercises martial arts, these are all women, can they still fight on the battlefield? Madame is too worried! ”

"But the king did not pay attention, there were 'military officials' and 'law enforcement', which were all the same configuration as the army. According to our country's military law, on the school ground, those who violate military orders can be questioned on the spot. ”

He Lu paused slightly, as if what Noriko said was a little reasonable. But after thinking about it, how did this Sun Wu train these palace maids, this mystery is too tempting, and He Lu wants to know what kind of outcome it will have?

Early in the morning of the second day, I saw the flag hunting on the school ground. He Lu took some ministers and his entourage to sit down on the cloud platform. This view of the cloud platform is hundreds of steps away from the school field, and it is a high platform, which is convenient for the king to parade. On both sides is the Moon Tower, which is connected to the school grounds. For the sake of safety, there are armor guards standing guard on the moon tower to the cloud platform.

The Chinese army generals on the school field, Sun Wu was promoted. On his side are the 'military officers' and 'law enforcement'. There are drummers on both sides, beating drums shirtless; There are many wrestlers on the stage, full of teeth, and they will be powerful and powerful.

I saw that the palace maids had already entered the school field one after another with armor, wearing helmets on their heads, holding shields in their left hands and wielding long swords in their right hands. The two concubines were even dressed in brocade armor, with a scarf on their heads, and a long scarf around their waists, standing on both sides, serving as generals. These beautiful faces, dressed in soldier costumes, look even more heroic, but they are also very good-looking.

Sun Wu asked the 'military officials' to explain the discipline of the army to everyone: the 300 palace maids were divided into two teams, with the left team under the jurisdiction of the left team by the left Ji Hongcian and the right team under the jurisdiction of the right Ji Qiuling. First, it is not allowed to stand in the wrong position, but to move the pace and find one's position according to the military order and the change of formation. Second, it is not allowed to make noise in the team and talk to each other; Third, it is not allowed to deliberately violate the constraints, and must respect the order.

Seeing that everything was ready, Sun Wu walked down the altar, led the armor soldiers, and used black ink to play the warp and weft according to the formation, draw the ropes, and lay them out into a formation. Then he ordered the 'military officials' to give two yellow flags to the two captains on the left and right, and let them be the leaders and command the teams under their jurisdiction.

The 'military officials' ordered ten palace maids to form a small detachment, and they must follow the pace of the captain to advance and retreat with the drum, step by step, and not be confused.

After explaining, seeing that the captain and the palace maids could understand it, Sun Wu began to order the drill.

I saw the military officer give the order loudly, and the sound shook the school field: "Listen, everyone, the law of the drill is like this: as soon as the drum is heard, the two teams get up, form an upright position, hold the shield in the left hand and exercise the sword in the right hand; Hearing the sound of the drums, the left team ran to the right and regrouped, and the right team ran to the left to assemble into a team; Hearing the drum and three links, the sergeants stabbed straight with their swords in their right hands, and held a shield in their left hands to protect themselves. When Zuihou was singing, the teams returned to their original positions. ”

These palace maids have never seen it, they all feel very novel and interesting, they all cover their mouths and laugh, the team is not a team, and some orders have not yet been understood. Some couldn't help but cover their stomachs and bent down with laughter.

Just listen to the drumming above, and the 'military officer' gives the official drill order:

Beat the drums!

I saw that those palace maids were either squatting or not knowing what to do next. Some told you to step on my feet; Some kicked the front leg and said, "Your sword touched me; Anyway, it's not a line, it's uneven. Even looking at the clouds on the gimbal, they couldn't stop hahadaxiao, and those ministers also laughed heartily.

Sun Wu left the table and got up, seeing that it was not a matter, so he asked the 'military officials' to go and reaffirm the rules of the drill and explain the discipline.

Drum two-way!

Some of those palace maids went to the left and some to the right, regrouped, crooked, and did not form a formation at all. Some of them haven't even woken up yet, and they actually sit on the ground and take care of their boots. The palace ladies were smiling as before, and no one cared.

Sun Wu was furious, his eyes widened, and he glared angrily. He personally came to the drum, and once again asked the 'military officer' to go and declare the military order, roll up his sleeves, and beat the drum himself.

"Knock knock!" There was a murderous aura in the sound of the drums, which made Lu Lu's heart tighten. He Lu asked Bo Yao, who was standing beside him: "The military advisor personally beats the drums, if those palace maids don't obey the general's orders, it will be a little troublesome." ”

Bo Yao also nodded, and stared nervously at the situation in the school field.

Drum tee!

It is already a drum of three links, but the two captains and the palace maids still have not changed in the slightest, laughing when they should be laughing, and complaining about complaining. Originally, the teams were going to return to their original positions, but they only cared about laughing, and few people could find their correct position.

Sun Wu threw away the drumsticks, sent a chong crown, and shouted: "Where is the law enforcement? ”

"The young general is here!"

"The constraints are unclear, and there are orders that can't be done. Although it is the first time to practice, I have been admonished three times and have not repented, what should I do according to the military order? ”

"According to the military order, be beheaded!"

"A soldier cannot be punished, but the sin lies in the captain's ineffectiveness." Sun Wu looked around: "You can behead the two female captains and show them to the public!" ”

Seeing that the military advisor was angry, the left and right wrestlers did not dare to disobey the general's order, so they immediately got off the platform and tied up the second concubine, wanting to correct the military law.

When he saw the cloud platform, he was anxious, so he ordered Bo Yao to give an order to save the left and right Aiji.
