When Xiang Yan arrived in Pingyu with an army that gathered the entire strength of the Chu State, facing an impenetrable Qin army camp, Xiang Yan also understood the conspiracy of his old opponent Wang Jian at this time, which was to drag down the Chu State.

However, Xiang Yan could only confront Wang Jian in the face of Wang Qian's conspiracy, and could only pin on him that he could find an opportunity to defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop, but a month passed, no matter how the Chu army provoked, Wang Jian just stood still, and made it clear that he wanted to drag down the Chu State.

At this time, the Qin army camp, due to the many provocations of the Chu army was suppressed by Wang Qian, and the morale that was originally a little low because of the last defeat became even more sluggish.

Zhou Xin, who got the news, signed up for all three, he knew that this was his recent opportunity to contact Wang Qian, as long as he could attract Wang Qian's attention, he would be able to get the greatest benefit from this war this time.

After the initial screening in January, the top 100 were selected in the three competitions, of course, many people participated in many like Zhou Xin, so the overall number was less than 200 people.

After the top 100 competition officially began, in addition to leaving the necessary defenders, most of the people gathered in the school field to watch the competition and cheer for the people they knew.

As the match progressed, Zhou Xin attracted the attention of everyone, including Wang Qian, especially in the martial arts event, and so far no one has been able to block Zhou Xin's punch.

In the end, the three competitions came to an end in Zhou Xin's three firsts, and Zhou Xin's bravery was also recognized by the whole army, and some people even privately rumored that Zhou Xin was the first in the Qin army.

……

After watching Zhou Xin win three firsts, Wang Jian planned to summon Zhou Xin in person, first, in order to fulfill the heavy reward he began to say; The second is that he also loves Zhou Xin, a general, and wants to see if Zhou Xin is a talent that can be created.

"General, Warrior Zhou Xin has been brought and is waiting outside."

Wang Qian, who was checking the news of the Chu army's movements, did not raise his head, so he directly ordered:

"Let him in."

After Zhou Xin got the notice from the guard, he thanked him, and then pushed the door open and entered, after entering, Zhou Xin saw an old man with white hair, white beard and chest, but still looking strong, kneeling at a long table, holding a bamboo slip in his hand and watching carefully.

Zhou Xin quietly did not make a sound to disturb Wang Qian, but thought crankily in his heart, if he remembered correctly, Wang Jian should be 80 years old now, but he did not show a trace of twilight.

After a while, Wang Qian, who had read the latest news of the Chu Army, put down the bamboo slip, raised his head to see what Zhou Xin's reaction was, and when he saw Zhou Xin standing there respectfully, he nodded with satisfaction, not being impatient is the most basic condition, and the others must be tested and taught.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Jian asked directly:

"Do you have anything to ask for to win the first place in the three competitions this time? It doesn't matter if it's a promotion or something else, but if you don't have any other requests, I'll reward you according to my original plan, and it's basically a monetary reward in advance, so I hope you can think about it. ”

Zhou Xin didn't answer directly after hearing this, in fact, he wanted to be promoted, but he was just a recruit now, and if he didn't make an inch, it would inevitably be considered insatiable to make a request directly, and after thinking for a while, he replied:

"Commander, I don't have any requirements, and it is already my greatest honor to be rewarded with money this time."

Wang Jian was more satisfied with Zhou Xin, thinking that he could maintain his heart in the face of some temptations such as promotion, and another condition for being a general in the army was also met, and then he was more curious about Zhou Xin's next performance, so he asked:

"What do you think of my strategy of fighting against the Chu army this time? You can just say this, I won't blame it. ”

Zhou Xin's heart began to get excited at this time, he had been preparing for this for a long time, just to show his views on this matter in front of Wang Qian, and strive to leave a deep impression on Wang Qian, it is best to be reused.

Zhou Xin took a long breath, and after forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart, he directly began to reply:

"Commander, I think your strategy is the most appropriate, I have thought about this when I have nothing to do, here are some of my thoughts:

First, I know very well that the defeat of General Li Xin last year led to a low morale of the soldiers, and the great victory of the Chu army was the time when the morale was at its highest, so it was right not to rush into war, and the morale of the Chu army needed to be grinded down.

The second is that the state of Chu is now ruled by decentralization, and the Chu army is formed by the private soldiers of different families, and if they go to war directly, they will only unite together, and if they do not fight for a long time, there will be contradictions between them because of some problems such as the supply of grain and grass.

Third, in order to preserve the strength of our army, if we attack forcibly, even if we win, there will be a great loss, and when the Chu army has problems due to internal contradictions, it is the best time for us to attack. ”

Wang Jian looked at Zhou Xin with a surprised face at this time, he didn't expect Zhou Xin to think so much, so he was more interested in Zhou Xin, and at the same time he also had the intention of cultivating him, after all, he was already 80 years old, and he didn't have a few years to live, and this war was also his last.

So I wanted to see if Zhou Xin had any ideas about what to do to Chu Jun next, so he asked directly:

"What do you think Chu Jun will do next? And what do you think should be done to Chu Jun? ”

After thinking for a while, Zhou Xin spoke in Wang Qian's expectation:

"Commander, I think we continue to hold on, wait for the Chu army to completely lose its vigilance, we send fast cavalry to cut off the Chu army's grain route, then the Chu army will definitely withdraw and grab back the grain route, we just need to follow the Chu army, wait for the Chu army to be tired, and the front and rear attacks will be won.

In addition, this time the Chu army was also gathered by the Chu State with the strength of the whole country, and this time after we eliminated and captured most of the enemy troops, it will clear the way for us to attack the hinterland of the Chu State in the future. ”

Wang Jian was very satisfied with Zhou Xin at this time, in fact, he had already arranged for Meng Wu to lead the cavalry to wait for his order, and he was ready to let Meng Wu go to cut off its grain route after the Chu army completely let down its vigilance, and wait for the Chu army to retreat and then flank the front and back.

The more Wang Jian looked at Zhou Xin at this time, the more satisfied he became, so he left Zhou Xin to have a meal together, and during the meal, Wang Jian asked Zhou Xin if he had a teacher, and after learning that he did not, he asked Zhou Xin to worship him as a teacher.

Zhou Xin did not refuse this time, and directly agreed, and after the master-apprentice ceremony, Zhou Xin called Wang Jian as a teacher, and Wang Jian gave an order to transfer Zhou Xin from the music department to his personal guard.
