Chapter 157: The Way to Govern the Army

Hou Yafu is different from her mother Fang, her ten fingers are slender and straight, the knuckles are not thick, and there are no thick calluses on the fingertips of the tiger's mouth that caresses the blade all the year round. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the practice of Taoism, there are several recultivation stages that can be turned infinitely, such as refining the form, external sense, and detaching from the form to know, these recultivation are not just hard work and diligent cultivation can enter the realm and break through, but long-term cultivation can make the skill itself grow almost without limits.

Just the method of refining the form, there are extremely many types of inheritance in the world. There are those who work hard to quench the internal and external muscles, bones, skin and flesh, there are those who nourish the vitality of the meridians and meridians, and those who have internal strength to patrol the limbs and hundreds of remains, and there are also those who practice the work of guidance and operate the three cokes and five qi of the internal organs......

Cultivating to the point of departing from the form, looking back, it is natural to be able to see that these methods of refining the form have the same goal, but what if a cultivator fails to build a foundation with his heart and mind, and continues to refine the method of refining the form endlessly?

The internal strength of the human body is generally only in the shape of the body to patrol and transfer, if the means of martial arts fighting, can be extended with the blade such as limbs to pass out, greatly increasing the killing effect, if further, the invisible internal strength can penetrate the body, beyond the limitations of the blade, to destroy the outside world.

Hou Yafu's practice of "Rushing Body" has reached this state. From the perspective of cultivation and metaphysics, she doesn't need to have the inner cultivation of the Yuan Shen to show clarity, and she doesn't even have to be as usual, she can release her internal strength and hurt people in the air.

In fact, for most cultivators, it is not necessary to refine the skill of refining the form to this point, because those who have internal breath cultivation, the Yuan Shen Yuan Qi can drive away external objects with the meditation, and the first time to learn the sword technique, this invisible power from the divine qi is much stronger than the power of the muscles and bones.

What's more, the internal strength and outward emanation are nothing more than a few zhang outward, and they can only be swallowed outward in an instant, which is far from the endless exertion of the cultivator's mana.

"Rushing Body" should be one of the incomplete inheritances of the ancient soldiers, but from Hou Yafu's condition, Qi Dezhong can see that the loss of this inheritance is not all due to war, but the evolution of the world, so that this method of cultivation gradually lacks a foothold.

Cultivation is not easy, the threshold of heart building foundation is there, there are many people in the world who can't step over, obviously the ancients also understood this, so there will be the emergence of the soldier's refining skills, trying to find another way, and then open up a new way.

When cutting the pulse, Qi Dezhong also asked Hou Yafu's mother and daughter about the details of the military management and transmission of the law under Hou Heng's command back then, and found that even if he relied on the complete logistics of the imperial court and strict and exquisite training and teaching, he could cultivate only one-tenth of his internal strength, and less than one percent of his external strength.

Qi Dezhong understands very well that the best way to warm up the meridians and vitality and generate internal strength is actually to keep the precepts and heart. It is not excluded that the military training implies an alternative method of heart-stirring, but the qualifications of the world are so varied, and it is already commendable that there are one-tenth of the internal strength soldiers under Hou Heng's command, so that the soldiers are arrayed in groups when they fight in close combat, they can almost crush the ordinary army.

However, there is a question: How great is the logistical pressure on managing the army and raising the troops in this way? Refining the form and practicing martial arts and nourishing the internal strength must be maintained on a daily basis, otherwise if the boat sails against the current, if it does not advance, it will retreat. Moreover, internal strength does not come out of thin air, but requires the human body to be full of essence and blood, strong meridian vitality, and long-term and profound practice to nourish it.

In other words, if it is a cultivation sect, it can use a magic elixir to replenish vitality and vitality, but how many disciples can a cultivation sect have? Not to mention that a cultivation sect does not pursue battlefield battles.

The same problem, such a method of governing the army and raising troops was put in ancient times, and the use of materials and products was not as numerous and sufficient as today, and the pressure of logistics and supply was unimaginable.

What is more important is that what if there is such a strong army array? The number of soldiers in the army array is absolutely not too large, and the internal strength is not more than a few square feet, as long as they are good at arranging troops and arranging formations, as well as all kinds of offensive and defensive strategies, there is no need to confront such a strong army head-on, avoid its edge, and win elsewhere.

If we look at the changes in the use of materials on the battlefield today, a large number of muskets and artillery have gradually replaced swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows and arrows, in the same logistics and supply environment, the use of muskets is much simpler than cultivating internal strength, and the killing distance of muskets has reached dozens of zhang, not to mention artillery.

The soldiers under Hou Heng's command also used muskets and artillery, and also practiced internal strength, but the Heavenly King Sect army on the other side also had similar inheritance methods. As far as Qi Dezhong knew, the Heavenly King Sect's method of refining the form was not to urge the valley's own essence to nourish the internal strength, but to take the heart first, and to draw the sincere wishes of the whole sect to cultivate the body, which was also quite subtle, and there were very few practices that were the same.

And in this way, the form of the battlefield is nothing more than equilibrium, it depends on each other's strategies and strategies, Hou Heng's defeat is not a weak military formation, it is indeed a chess opponent, a good talent, and it is not humiliating to lose to Bai Liansheng.

Qi Dezhong held Hou Yafu's wrist and said his various thoughts and opinions while talking about it, which amazed everyone present.

Yunxiao and Father-in-law Yu were surprised, needless to mention, Hou Heng's wife Fang Shi stood up and bowed to Qi Dezhong after listening to it, her somewhat cold and serious face showed a rare sadness, tears appeared in her eyes, and she still said in a strong tone:

"Listening to His Royal Highness the Prince's words today, Fang Zhifu Jun has been defeated, and he has already fought to the death with the strength of the whole army!"

Qi Dezhong sighed slightly, not long after he canonized the crown prince, he specially learned about what he had seen and heard in the DPRK and China in recent years, one of which was that after Hou Heng's whole army was defeated, there was a wave of discourse in the court, reprimanding Hou Heng for his ineffectiveness in eliminating thieves, and he wanted to punish the Hou family with police generals, and finally he was suppressed by the national teacher Zhenren, which saved the lives of Hou Yafu's mother and daughter.

After this incident, the Hou mother and daughter naturally lived a life full of white eyes in the imperial capital, if it weren't for the mother and daughter's background and resolute temperament, I am afraid that they would have been unbearable and committed suicide.

Fang Shi was grateful and asked: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, my husband Jun's army is so unable to defeat the thief army, how can we restore the country and society and live up to the achievements of our predecessors." ”

Qi Dezhong is not good at military strategy, and he has no intention of doing anything on the battlefield, so after thinking about it, he had to say: "All parties in the world have fought so far, if you talk about the side of governing the army, there is no possibility of far better than others." Looking at the changes in the current world, we can only look at each other's material resources and materials, and the degree of enterprising novelty is geometric, and the odds of winning are higher if they have no me, they have me, and they have more.

But the people who use soldiers in the world are all people, and when they really get to the battlefield, they have a slight tendency to turn things around. This palace has seen the Heavenly King's military master Bai Liansheng, this person is so resourceful, what he sees is not the recent situation, and it is indeed difficult to deal with it.
