Zhao Kuo was stunned, but he didn't expect Tian Dan to ask this question.

His father, Zhao Hao, once discussed the art of war with Tian Dan.

Tian Dan believes that there are not too many soldiers but fine, and more will affect the cultivation of agriculture and drag down the country, as long as there are 30,000 elite soldiers, it is enough to conquer the world.

Zhao Hao thought that Tiandan was outdated, and the ancient world was divided into hundreds of countries, each country was a small country, and 30,000 people were enough to conquer the world.

But now the world is divided into seven warring states, each country has hundreds of thousands of troops, the city is thousands of zhang wide, at least 10,000 households in the city, 30,000 people is far from enough, at least 200,000 troops can be subdued by the world.

Tian Dan also said that Wei Wushu only had 50,000 soldiers, and he was able to defeat hundreds of thousands of troops of Qin, and also surrounded Handan, the capital of Zhao State.

After that, the number of Qin Zhirui was only two thousand, and they could destroy the Wei Wushu.

Zhao Hao said that hundreds of thousands of people participated in these battles, and the victory was not the credit of any one army.

The two argued endlessly, and neither could convince anyone.

If Zhao Kuo agrees with his father, Tian Dan will have a reason to reject him.

If you agree with Tian Dan, it will be a great blow to Zhao Kuo's reputation.

In this era, no matter whether the father is right or wrong, as a son, he cannot object, otherwise it will be considered unfilial.

Zhao Kuo thought for a moment and said, "There are many benefits, and there are benefits of refinement." ”

After waiting for a while, seeing that Tian Dan had no idea of complimenting, Zhao Kuo continued:

"Nowadays, in the event of war, all men over the age of fifteen in the country have to join the army, wait until the war is over, and then return to the land. It is a soldier who takes up arms, and it is a farmer who lays down his arms. ”

"However, once the war has begun, no one knows when it will end. This also leads to many times after the end of the war, the time for farming has been missed, the people have no food, can only eat grass roots, gnaw tree bark, and even forced to become robbers, cholera countries. ”

"In the end, more people were killed by the robbers than the soldiers died in battle. However, if these civilians are not recruited into the army, the country will perish in the face of the enemy's huge army. ”

"The State of Wei dominated the world with 50,000 Wei warriors, and was finally defeated by the State of Qin, and the State of Qin's Iron Eagle Warriors only had two thousand, if the Iron Eagle Warriors increased to 50,000, they would definitely be able to defeat the Six Kingdoms, didn't he want to become 50,000?"

"If you don't want to, you can't. Even the strongest Qin State in the world can't do it, how can other countries do it? ”

Tian Dan's face gradually changed, he straightened his waist and began to look at Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo continued: "In ancient times, when it was necessary to fight, all adult men had to fight with weapons, and they could not return home until the war was over, and they got nothing but a wound or illness. ”

"Later, Wu Qi founded Wei Wushu, selected the most brave soldiers in the country, had money, food, and rewards, and could get nothing but a scar after the battle, and the whole family was exempted from forced labor, and they were given land and houses, so that they could fight hard, which was the reason why Wei Wushu dominated the world."

"But even in the heyday of the Wei State, there were only 50,000 Wei warriors, and they were placed all over the country, and they couldn't even defend the city, let alone fight."

Therefore, every time there was a war in Wei, the people still had to be summoned from all over the country. Could it be that because he had to gather the people from all over the country, Wei Wushu was useless, it wasn't like that. He was the sharpest knife of Wei, piercing the heart of the enemy, so that Wei had the possibility of victory. ”

"I've heard about you and your father's discussion of soldiers, and I don't think there is a contradiction between more soldiers and more soldiers, and now all countries have chosen a path, that is, to have both elite soldiers and more soldiers. That is, all the people are soldiers, and at the same time train a small number of elite troops, and if you want a small number of elite soldiers to deter the world, you may only have to wait until the world is unified. ”

Zhao Kuo said slowly.

"It is worthy of being the son of Ma Fujun, and the blue is better than the blue." After a long time, Tian Dan sighed.

"I'm far from my father." Zhao Kuo hurriedly said.

"Le Yi is in your house, right?" Tian Dan asked.

"Not bad." Zhao Kuo nodded.

"Take me to meet this old friend." Tian Dan got up.

He has mixed feelings for Le Yi.

Le Yi almost wiped out the Qi State that gave birth to him and raised him, he failed to defeat Le Yi on the battlefield, but he defeated Le Yi politically and wasted Le Yi's life's exploits.

However, in the end, he ended up with the same fate as Le Yi.

and is also a minister in the same hall as Le Yi.

The sadness and complexity of it are not enough for outsiders.

"Thank you, sir." Zhao Kuo was overjoyed and bowed down.

With the help of Le Yi, Tian Dan, and Li Mu, and then Lian Po stayed in Changping, the four famous generals gathered, this time Zhao Kuo really dared to fight with Bai Qi!

Zhao Kuo helped Tian Dan into the car like he did with Le Yi and personally whipped him.

"The afterlife is terrifying!" Tian Dan sat in the car and couldn't help but sigh when he heard the voices of Zhao Kuo talking about Zhao Kuo on both sides of the avenue.

When he was in the Qi country, he was also supported by the Qi people.

Looking back now, more than ten years have passed.

"Lord, you're back, and many people have come to visit you today." When the housekeeper Zhao Bo saw Zhao Kuo, he burst into tears with excitement.

Since Zhao Hao's death, the Mafu Junfu Mansion has not been so prosperous for a long time.

"Is it all arranged? Don't slack off. Zhao Kuo said.

Corporal Lixian was very important during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and if a celebrity felt that he was not respected, he would not only turn around and leave, but he would also spread it everywhere and ruin your reputation.

Just like that cripple and plains-kun.

There are even some celebrities who don't even give the face of the king, and when they see that you are unhappy, they join other countries, and then turn around and beat you.

As a result, people cherish their reputations, even monarchs.

After the deposition of the Hundred Schools of Confucianism, the idea of loyalty to the monarch was gradually engraved in people's bones.

The relationship between the monarch and the minister has become that the king has abused me thousands of times, and I treat the king like my first love......

"It's all been arranged according to the highest standard of treatment." Zhao Bo said.

"Okay, tell me to go down, I'll have a banquet tomorrow." Zhao Kuo said.

"No."

"By the way, has Pang Xuan's residence been found?" Zhao Kuo asked.

Pang Xuan is a famous general in the late Zhao State, and once talked about the art of war with King Wuling of Zhao, and then there was no record, until the period of King Zhao Mourning Xiang, it was activated, and he killed Yan General Ji Xin in a war, and then led Han, Wei, Zhao, Wei, and Chu to crusade against Qin.

Pang Xuan has some gaps compared to Zhi Leyi, Tian Dan, Lian Po, and Li Mu, but he is also a good general of Zhao Guoyi.

And he has an ability that Le Yi, Tian Dan, Lian Po, Li Mu and others can't compare, that is, longevity.

At the age of eighty, he went into battle in armor, even Jiang Ziya had to take it when he saw it.

Zhao Kuo adheres to the principle that adding a point of strength is a point of strength, and sent someone to look for Pang Xuan two days ago, but unfortunately Pang Xuan is neither as famous as Le Yitian, nor does he have any official position or title, and trying to find him with Zhao Kuo's strength is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and he has not found it for two days.

"Nope." Not surprisingly, Uncle Zhao shook his head.

"I really can't find it, forget it." Zhao Kuo said.

With Le Yi, Tian Dan, Lian Po, and Li Mu, it doesn't have much impact with or without Pang Xuan.

……

Two days later, the Great Pilgrimage Meeting.

Lin Xiangru proposed that the Qin army was attacking fiercely and there was a shortage of grain and grass on the front line, but the people in the country had no food, and the ministers of the DPRK and China should donate grain and grass to support the front line.

Subsequently, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, said that the domestic nobles have eaten the king's fortune for generations, and they should share it for the king.

Finally, Zhao Wangdan said that as the monarch of Zhao State, he should play an exemplary role and take the lead in donating 80,000 stone grain and grass.

Seeing that King Zhao donated so much grain and grass, many nobles and ministers added some more on the basis of what had been discussed before.

In the end, a total of 867,000 stone of grain and grass were raised, and some meat such as pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks were transported to Changping.

After this matter spread, Zhao Kuo's reputation became even stronger, like a brilliant sun rising, and even overshadowed King Zhao and Pingyuan Jun.

If Zhao Kuo's previous reputation was like a castle in the air, if he left the touting of the Qin State, he would fall from the sky.

Now Zhao Kuo has raised more than 800,000 stones, grains and grass by himself, completely shattering everyone's doubts.

Every day, people come from all over the world to visit Zhao Kuo, and I feel very honored to see him.

Zhao Kuo almost did not refuse to come, even if he only had a handful of strength, he would take him in as a guest.
