On the top of a hill not far northwest of Wutai Palace.

Meng Fu ordered to rest in place on the hill.

The warriors had already run fifty miles through the jungle and mountains, and now they had returned to the vicinity of Wutai Palace.

Lu Yunzhou sat down on the ground tiredly, but saw that although Shanrou on the side was also full of exhaustion, he was in good spirits, and he was very surprised.

Shanrou wiped the sweat on her face, sat beside Lu Yunzhou obediently, handed over a water bladder with a smile, and said proudly: "Lord Husband, Rou'er can be regarded as a talent that can be created!" ”

Lu Yunzhou took the water bladder, took a big sip of "Gu Dong", and handed it back to Shanrou, watching her raise her neck to drink water, her slender white neck, exuding a holy luster in the sun.

Lu Yunzhou cocked his thumb and praised with a smile: "My wife is really worthy of being a heroine among women, and women don't let their eyebrows go!" ”

Shanrou was praised and said happily: "That is, Rou'er wants to be the No. 1 soldier under the account of the husband, and is responsible for protecting the safety of the husband!" ”

Meng Wei walked to Lu Yunzhou's side and sat down, and said with emotion: "Xiaoyu, I think you are planning to cultivate a second Wei Wushu!" ”

Lu Yunzhou raised his eyebrows and asked, "Wei Wushu is the army that Wu Qi established back then, which is known as invincible?" Isn't it gone now? ”

Kun Hu's majestic voice sounded from the side: "That's right, Wei Wushu was personally selected and trained by Wu Qi of Wei State, and he has set a record of seventy-two battles, of which sixty-four times were all victories, and the remaining eight times were unequal!" One of the most powerful was the Battle of Yin and Jin, where Wu Qi led 50,000 Wei soldiers and defeated the 500,000 Qin army, which can be described as a classic battle in which less wins more! ”

Lu Yunzhou saw that everyone around him was in reverence, including Shanrou, and immediately understood what a great existence Wu Qi was in the eyes of these soldiers.

Even though Lu Yunzhou, as a later generation, does not know much about Wu Qi, he also knows that the "Wu Qi Art of War" left by Wu Qi is a classic art of war in the history of the art of war that can be contrasted with Sun Wu's "Sun Tzu's Art of War", and later generations will put Wu Qi and Sun Wu on the same footing and call them "Sun Wu".

It's a pity that it has been passed on to later generations, and only six fragments of the 48 articles of "Wu Qi's Art of War" are left for future generations to admire.

Qi Bin muttered: "Back then, 70,000 Wei warriors were in the hands of Wu Qi, sweeping the world, no one could defeat them, and no one could stop them. The number of Wei Wushu even grew to 200,000 during the period of King Wei Hui, but it was all wiped out by Pang Juan, a loser, in two battles! Since then, the immortal legend of Wei Wushu has come to an end forever on this vast land! ”

Meng Wei shook his head and said: "The significance of the Wei Wushu created by Wu Qi is by no means only for the Wei State, but also for all the countries in the world, it has extraordinary significance!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Meng Fu in amazement.

Wu Qi can be said to be recognized as the god of the army in the world, I don't know how many idols in the minds of soldiers, the soldiers who rested around, when they saw the main general talking about Wu Qi's allusions, they also gathered around with great interest and listened to Meng Qi's story.

Meng Fu said leisurely: "The Wei Wushu created by Wu Qi is the first standing army that has ever appeared in the land of China!" ”

Meng Fu only said a short sentence, but just this one sentence is amazing enough!

Not to mention the uproar of the people around him, Lu Yunzhou suddenly stood in awe of Wu Qi!

It turned out that the first standing army in Chinese history was the invincible Wei Wushu established by Wu Qi!

The emergence of the standing army represents the advent of the national regular army, which is definitely an epoch-making move!

As a general, Meng Fu is familiar with military allusions, so what he said is naturally true! That is to say, it is precisely because Wu Qi created the first standing army that each country has its own standing army, and after having a standing army, if countries want to go to war, they no longer have to spend time and effort to recruit troops, and they can fight directly if they want to, and the efficiency of the war has been greatly improved, and the war of various countries has since entered a new situation!

Before the emergence of the standing army, the armies that fought in the Spring and Autumn Period were all peasant soldiers recruited from the people, and when they were ready to fight, they began to pull strong men in the country in advance, almost trained and trained, and barely knew how to advance and retreat on the battlefield, so they had to go to the battlefield. After the battle, if you are lucky enough to be alive, you will still be put back to farm, waiting for the next conscription of the country; If you accidentally die on the battlefield, it will also be a vain death, and the country will not care about you!

The soldiers of that era fought wars, so for what? It is purely for the sake of national obligations in selfless dedication! Don't say anything about security, some countries even have to bring their own weapons and military rations, just like the Mulan poem of the Northern and Southern Dynasties sings, when they are ready to go to the battlefield, they have to go to the east market to buy horses, the west market to buy saddle sheaths, the south market to buy bridles, and the north market to buy long whips!

smashed the pot and sold iron to prepare equipment and food, and began to fight for the country with money and life, and the result? If you are killed, you will die in vain, and there may be no one to collect the body for you, let alone any national pension, posthumously recognizing the martyrs, such an army goes to war, and let him play with your life, it is a joke at all.

After all, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and no matter how powerful a famous general is, if he has a group of rabble in his hands, it must be difficult to win the battle.

In front of such peasant soldiers, Wu Qi's Wei Wushu is simply an armed police force that has encountered street gangsters, plus Wu Qi himself is one of the top military strategists in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is no wonder that Wu Qi only needs 70,000 Wei soldiers, in that era when the recruitment system has not yet been popularized, he can be used to run rampant in the world!

Hearing Meng Fu say this, the discussion around him gradually became louder, if not for anything else, precisely because these soldiers themselves were regular troops raised by the state, and it was naturally difficult to imagine the scene in the past when there was no standing army in a country.

Meng Xiao looked at the young and energetic faces sitting around, and suddenly smiled.

"Xiaoyu, do you know what the selection criteria for Wei Wushu were back then?"

Lu Yunzhou shook his head in amazement, he was not a history major, how could he know about such a thing?

Zhai Ziqiang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up: "Wei Zhiwu's pawn takes it by degree, the armor of the three genera, the crossbow of the twelve stones, the negative arrow is fifty, the crown is on it, the crown is with a sword, and the food for three days is won, and the day is in the middle of the hundred miles." ”

Lu Yunzhou's eyes widened in surprise, which means that the soldier must put on a triple armor, carry a crossbow weighing seven hundred and twenty pounds, carry fifty arrows on his back, bring a Changge, carry a sword, and then bring three days' rations, and start running, running a hundred miles, from dawn to mid-day, that is, half a day, and those who can run completely can be selected into Wei Wushu's team!

What kind of concept is this, one hundred miles in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is equivalent to forty-one and a half kilometers in later generations, that is, the whole marathon! It's really no joke to run such a long distance in half a day! And these GIs are not like marathon runners, running in pants and vests, they are running in full armor, armed to the teeth!

Lu Yunzhou instantly overturned the impression in his mind that Wei Wushu had just established, this is not just a well-trained regular army, this is simply a special force! It's the Marines! It's the king of soldiers! No, it's a bunch of supermen!

Lu Yunzhou remembered that Meng Fu had asked him at the beginning if he was planning to cultivate a second Wei Wushu, and he suddenly felt that the blood in his body became agitated.

Meng Fu smiled and said: "Although the intensity of our current training subjects is far from being as strong as Wei Wushu, in terms of comprehensiveness and practicality on the battlefield, it can be said that it even surpasses Wei Wushu!" This morning and afternoon, we each ran fifty miles, together, that is, one hundred miles, and one day, we can also march a hundred miles with a load in half a day, plus these all-round training, then maybe in the near future, our storm team will become Wei Wushu in this era! ”

Meng Fu's words made all the soldiers present enthusiastic, every boy will have a heroic dream in his heart, when Wei Wushu, the god-like name, has become an existence that may be touched in the future, when the hope of dominating the world with strength and leaving a name in history appears in front of them, everyone begins to be excited.

A soldier couldn't help but stand up and asked, "General, but we only have five hundred people, even if we really train to that level, we can't become Wei Wushu, right?" ”

Meng Fu nodded approvingly, and said in a deep voice: "That's exactly why I'm telling you this today!" When Wu Qi trained Wei Wushu, he was one person who learned and taught ten people; Ten people have learned, and hundreds of people have been taught...... 10,000 people have learned and taught the three armies! Therefore, the Wei Wushu who was trained at the earliest time was almost the head of the 70,000 Wei Wushu! And I also hope that you can live up to Xiaoyu's expectations of you, live up to the name of Storm, which symbolizes strength, learn excellent skills, and become the head coach of the Tempest Legion in the future! ”

"Yes! Checkmate! ”

The passionate responses of the warriors spread all over this small hill, as if they were about to overturn the sky!

Lu Yunzhou's heart was both excited and moved, and only now did he understand the good intentions of Meng Fu's words, and he also affirmed Meng Fu's famous talent in his heart!

Striking while the iron was hot, taking advantage of the surge in morale at this moment, Lu Yunzhou suddenly stood up.

"During the break, I'll teach you a military song!"

"Good!"

Seeing that Lu Yunzhou was about to sing, the soldiers immediately cheered up.

Lu Yunzhou smiled slightly, sank into the dantian, stood in the middle of this group of young soldiers in the language of Qi State, and shouted out the song "Men should be self-reliant"!

"Arrogant and arrogant, ten thousand waves, hot blood is better than red sunshine! Courage is like iron, bones are like steel, mind is thousands, vision is long, vow to work hard for self-improvement, and be a good man! Be a good man, be self-reliant every day, a hot-blooded man, hot is better than the red sun! Let Haitian gather energy for me, open up the world, break through for my ideals, watch the blue waves rise, and see the blue sky vast and mighty, that is, men should be self-reliant......"

Since ancient times, Shandong has been a hero, and Qilu has always been a hero!

Lu Yunzhou's passionate singing completely ignited the pride and enthusiasm in the bones of all the soldiers present, and they were infected by the atmosphere and began to sing in unison!

Singing military songs can greatly enhance the centripetal force and cohesion of an army, and can transform it into morale and combat effectiveness!
