Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

In Wu Sui's military camp, Ying Wei was sitting in the tent, reading the book in his hand.

In the future, Guan Yu reads"Spring and Autumn" at night, but what Ying Wei is reading is"Yi Bing".

As a disciple of Xunzi, a Confucian scholar, Ying Wei is naturally familiar with his teacher's works.

《"Meeting Arms" is exactly what Xunzi wrote about the way of using troops and the principles of being a general.

Although Xunzi was not a military strategist, nor was he a famous military general, he was familiar with various military books and was able to summarize the military methods of his predecessors.

And the method of being a general introduced in"Yi Bing" is exactly to combine the six skills, handle the five powers, guard the three rules, avoid laziness, be powerful without anger, and win without fighting!

This is consistent with Sun Wu's Five Matters and Seven Strategies in many ideas. It can be seen that the so-called way of using troops is similar in many aspects. The only difference is personal understanding and seeking truth from facts.

Ying Wei read"Meeting Arms" thoroughly, but in the end he shook his head gently.

Theoretical knowledge is theoretical knowledge after all, and most of the time it cannot be completely substituted into reality, otherwise it is just talk on paper.

For example, the Six Skills and Five Powers, many of the contents are both necessary and necessary. It seems beautiful, but in practical applications, many times it is impossible to do this at all, and something must be given up.

Another example is to observe the three supreme principles, which are the three supreme principles of generals.

Firstly, it is better to be executed by the monarch than to put the troops in danger; secondly, it is better to be executed by the monarch than to launch an attack with no chance of winning; thirdly, it is better to be executed by the monarch than to let the army oppress the people.

The third point is easy to say. Anyone who wants to achieve great things will pay attention to this point.

However, the first and second points can only be accomplished theoretically. In reality, few generals can do it.

For example, in the Battle of Changping, Lian Po refused to send troops and asked King Zhao to urge him, and finally replaced him with Zhao Kuo.

Another example is that Chang Kaishen asked your frontline machine gun to move twenty meters to the right. Even if you are a frontline general, can you not move it?

There are 280 times when the monarch urges, even if the frontline generals know that there is a problem with the order, they have no choice but to bite the bullet.

This does not mean that you can save the army by disobeying orders. Even if you do not carry out orders at the risk of being beheaded, the monarch can still replace you with a general who is willing to carry out orders.

Rather than working hard and getting nothing, it is better to work hard.

Ying Wei put down the book in his hand and said with a smile:"……Although"Meeting Arms" written by the teacher is good in theory, it is not completely consistent with reality."

"However, these six arts, five powers and three powers are very suitable for me."

General generals do not dare to disobey the monarch's orders, so these guidelines may not be adhered to, but Ying Wei himself belongs to the level of the monarch, and Ying Zheng cannot force him.

Therefore, these tactics, power and laws are most suitable for Ying Wei.

It can be said that the theoretical methods in the book"Meeting Arms" are basically from the perspective of the monarch, not the generals.

Jing Salamander and Gai Nie stood aside, and when they heard Ying Wei's words, both of them were silent.

Jing Salamander Dressing up as a male soldier, after all, the army is not suitable for bringing in women, so it is most suitable for the men to wear masks and women to dress up as men. Marching an army of 100,000 cannot be accomplished with a simple order, so from Ying Wei to Wu Sui After that, the entire 100,000-strong army was in operation and preparing to go to Nanyang, South Korea. During this period, Ying Wei also talked less and listened more, learning the basics of using troops.

The things written in the book are too general, and it is really difficult to use troops. At this time, many details need to be paid attention to.

For example, the choice of camping location, such as observing the sky and paying attention to the weather. The so-called leading troops is more like management. There is a huge difference between managing 10,000 people and managing a million people.

How to manage the eating, drinking and drinking of an army of 100,000 people is a science. These things can be learned in books, (bcce) but the most important thing is to experience them personally.

Just when Ying Wei was thinking about it, the guard outside the door shouted :"……Your Majesty, Li Xin and Meng Tian want to see you!"

Ying Wei heard the words and said slowly:"……Let them in."

After he finished speaking, he saw two young generals walking in wearing armor and saluted:"……The last general, Li Xin (Meng Tian), pays homage to your Majesty!"

"No gift!"

Ying Wei raised his hand, indicating that they would not be polite.

Ying Wei looked at the two of them. Both Li Xin and Meng Tian were among the younger generation of generals, both in their early twenties.

Although Meng Tian is from the Meng family, he can Give him a good background, but the Qin State attaches great importance to military merit. Even Meng Tian needs to perform meritorious service to be promoted.

Now he serves as a commander of thousands under Wang Yan and is considered a mid-level officer.

Li Xin was promoted one level by Ying Wei , as his deputy general, he is already a lieutenant, and is only one level away from being called a general.

After arriving in Wusui, Ying Wei and Li Xin became familiar with officers at all levels of the entire Pingyang Heavy Armor Army.

Ying Wei mainly Because he was familiar with the upper level, he asked Li Xin to get familiar with the middle and lower levels. In this way, as long as the middle and lower levels obeyed his orders, it would not matter even if he replaced the entire upper level.

It was at this stage that Meng Tian was discovered by Ying Wei, as a historical figure Even if he is a famous general with a name, Ying Wei chooses to contact him.

Meng Tian's current position is still low, and it is the time for Ying Wei to employ people, so he should use them when they are needed.

And the Meng family is originally a faction of the King of Qin , this time Ying Wei went to attack South Korea as the supreme commander of the army, so even if Meng Tian, ​​as a general under Wang Yan, chose to get closer to Ying Wei, others would not say anything.

Those officers would only slander him, saying that Meng Tian would really slip up and flatter him. climb

"Li Xin and Meng Tian, ​​what do you want?"

Ying Wei looked at Li Xin and Meng Tian and asked slowly.

During these days, Ying Wei lived in seclusion and mostly talked and communicated with Wang Ye. It gave people the impression that he had to rely entirely on Wang Ye's ability and that he was here to achieve military success. Li Xin and Meng Tian looked at each other, and finally Li Xin, who had followed Ying Wei since Xianyang, spoke:"……Your Majesty, I have something to say to you at the end."

"Of course, this may be because I'm overthinking it, but I'm not unhappy about it."

Li Xin hesitated for a long time, but as a general and Ying Wei's adjutant, he should tell what he saw even if he was scolded.

"Li Xin, if you have anything to say, just say so. Since I transferred you from Yingdu to my side and asked you to attack Korea with me, I trust you."

Ying Wei said with a smile on his face.

Li Xinxin was moved, he responded and said in a deep voice:"……Your Majesty, I found that General Wang has a big problem with the deployment of the army."

"As a military camp, it should be loose on the outside and tight on the inside. This is the core of the army, where the king and general Wang are located. Under normal circumstances, it should be strictly guarded."

"But in the past few days, I have observed that the guards here have been transferred out by General Wang, forming a situation of tightness on the outside and looseness on the inside."

"You must know that the safety of the generals in the army is extremely important, especially since the king and general Wang are the highest officers in the army. If...if something happens, there will be chaos in the army."

"General Wang has been in the army for forty years. This is the most basic issue of principle. He should not make such a mistake."

"The general was confused because of this, so he had the courage to tell the king clearly. Of course, this may also be General Wang's special way of using troops, which the general could not understand."

Despite saying this, Shi Xin still firmly believes in his opinion. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

He has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he has served in the army under Wang Ben for several years. All he saw was in the military camp. In the form of heavy protection for the generals, this strange method has never been seen.

This is simply telling others that my top general here has no protection, and the assassins rushed to assassinate him.

Ying Wei did not respond, he looked at Meng Tian again and said :"……Meng Tian, ​​since you are coming with Li Xin, you must have something important to tell me."

Compared to Li Xin, Meng Tian, ​​who looks more youthful, said:"……This is exactly what the general wants to tell you."

"In fact, before the king came to the military camp, General Wang's troop deployment had been normal, and the general's camp was also heavily protected."

"But since the king came up, General Wang's method of mobilizing troops has become incomprehensible to the general."

Meng Tian and Ying Wei have only known each other for a few days, and are not familiar with Ying Wei, so they are more cautious when speaking.

Ying Wei remained silent and said:"……By doing this, General Wang seems to be asking me to guard the vacuum and asking assassins to kill me. Is this what you want to say?"

Li Xin and Meng Tian didn't dare to say anything.

They couldn't say this themselves. It really meant to drive a wedge between Ying Wei and Wang Yan.

But judging from their views on the operation of the army, they really had this idea. They just didn't care. Both Li Xin and Meng Tian couldn't believe it.

Why did General Wang want to do harm to the king? This is really unclear. After all, at Wang Yan's age, he will retire and return to his hometown, so he will not be greedy for military glory.

And If your Majesty dies in the army, it will definitely shock the whole country. Your Majesty will be furious and send people to investigate. If anything is found out, Wang Yan's family will undoubtedly die.

And Wang Yan has been guarding the border of Qin for so long. Nothing was done, and it didn’t look like a masterpiece from another country.

Seeing Li Xin and Meng Tian’s confused looks, Ying Wei smiled and said:"……Li Xin, do you still remember why you and I first met? Li

Xin replied subconsciously:"……At that time, the emperor was assassinated in Wei State, so he sent someone to Yingdu to ask General Wang Ben to respond."

After the words fell, Li Xinxin moved, as if he understood something. At this time, Ying Wei didn't care about telling Li Xin and Meng Tian the truth, and said calmly:"……In fact, I was not assassinated by people from Wei, but by someone sent by Lu Xiangbang."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xin and Meng Tian were both shocked. They didn't dare to say anything, and only felt chills rising from the bottom of their hearts.

This was related to the battle at the top of the Qin Dynasty, and they didn't even dare to think about it.

Moreover, Lu Xiangbang actually knew It was unbelievable to do such an assassination of Lord Chang'an, which even made the two of them feel a sense of fear. This kind of thing was not something that the two young generals could participate in.

However, Li Xin had already surrendered to Ying Wei, and he was just shocked. , just said without hesitation:"……Your Majesty suspects that Wang Ye is related to Lu Xiangbang?"

Ying Wei nodded and said:"……Li Xin, if Wang Ye suddenly asks you to take his soldiers out in the past few days, and he invites me to visit a certain place in the military camp, you can pretend to agree, but don't really take the soldiers away."

"This military camp is empty, wouldn't it be the best time for an assassination?"

Li Xin looked solemn,"……Here!"

At this time, Ying Wei looked at Meng Tian again. Meng Tian felt a chill in his heart and knelt on one knee and said:"……The Meng family has been loyal to the royal family for generations"

"Meng Tian is willing to follow you and protect him to the death!"

He knew that if he didn't express his loyalty at this time, it would be a recipe for death.

……

Two days later, Wang Yan came to Ying Wei's camp and said:"……Your Majesty, the army is preparing to move out. Please come with me to watch!"

Ying Wei quietly looked at Wang Yan's majestic and solemn face, nodded slowly and said:"……good"
