The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Ying Qu Liang looked at the old minister who came in, and everyone saw that it was the doctor who assisted the three monarchs, Ying Wu, who was on crutches with his hand, and said after standing firmly: "Your Majesty, please immediately send troops to attack the Tho country, the first monarch once said to me, the Tho country and the Yiqu are the great troubles of my Qin country, these two countries will not be destroyed, and the Qin country will not prosper! This is a sign of national danger, please send troops to attack Tho while the Tho country is not yet strong, otherwise there will be a great disaster for my Qin country!"

As soon as the words fell, Wei Ying got up and said: "Your Majesty, although my Qin State has successfully changed the law, it has only been more than a year, and the country is not yet strong, so we cannot send troops!

The ministers also nodded, after all, Tho is a barbarian, how strong can it be. Ying Quliang didn't listen to Ying Wu's words, and said: "Uncle Zong, don't say anything more, what are you worried about. "

Ying Wu directly knelt down and cried and persuaded: "Your Majesty, please send troops! Back then, the Chu State despised the Wu State, and was almost destroyed by the Wu State; Wu Wangfu despised Gou Jian, resulting in his death and the country was ruined; the Duke of Jin despised the Liuqing, resulting in the division of the three families, and the monarch must not follow in the footsteps!"

Ying Qu Liang was furious, pointed at Ying Wu and said: "Doctor, you shut up, if it weren't for the fact that you are the elder of the Three Dynasties, I would have cut you a long time ago!"

After finishing speaking, he returned to the inner palace, and the ministers left one after another, leaving only Ying Wu who was kneeling on the ground. Ying Wu still cried and said: "Your Majesty, don't! The Qin State is in danger!" Wei Ying looked at him and smiled in his heart: Elm head!

Tho State Court

With the help of Xu Xing, Ying Bao and Li Shu Marting, the national strength of the country gradually rose, and the Hou Du Shujie looked at the bamboo slips from all over the country, and was very happy in his heart, because the national strength of the Tho country has finally been improved, and it is not the period when there were no people in the mountains and people looking for it in the mountains, and now under the leadership of Xu Xing and others, the city is repaired, the well fields are opened, and the customs are changed

Du Shujie said to the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, after more than a year of development, the national strength of our Tho country has gradually risen, and now our Tho country has gradually become rich and strong, only the elite soldiers are missing, General Wei and General Chang Zhongxue, I don't know what the two of you are going to do?"

Wei got up and said, "Your Majesty, the 300 elite soldiers and 50 craftsmen of my Wei State have arrived, and the 70 chariots have also arrived, and we can start training the new army tomorrow!"

After hearing this, Du Shujie nodded, and asked again: "General Chang Zhongxue, has the recruitment of the new army been gathered, and how is the treatment of the new army?"

Chang Zhongxue got up and replied: "Your Majesty, the 20,000 new army has been assembled, and the treatment of the new army is, first, that each soldier's family is exempted from paying taxes for three years; second, each soldier's monthly salary is 300 cloth coins, two pieces of cloth, and 60 catties of corn; and third, after each person dies in battle, his family is supported by the state, and he is provided with five horses of cloth and 100 catties of grain per month for two years, and his family is exempted from paying taxes for five years!"

After hearing this, Du Shujie got up and said, "Okay, tomorrow I will go to see the training of the new army in person!"

Early the next morning

Camp Philadelphia

20,000 soldiers of the New Army were already waiting for the arrival of the generals on the school grounds, when suddenly, a series of neat voices spread through the school grounds. I saw three hundred heavily armed soldiers entering the school yard with neat steps, all the soldiers looked at the three hundred soldiers, one soldier was surprised, and whispered to the people on the side: "Brother, those soldiers seem to be Wei Wushu of Wei!" The soldiers on the side whispered to him: "How can it be the Wei Wushu of Wei, how can Wei Wushu come to our desolate place!" The man explained: "Only Wei Wushu wears three layers of armor, a halberd, a cowhide shield, a crossbow, fifty arrows and a sharp sword!" "Others were shocked when they took a closer look, but they didn't expect it to be Wei Wushu of Wei State!

Just when the people below were whispering, Wei and Chang Zhongxue came to the school yard in a chariot together, and the soldiers saw that the generals were coming, and quickly quieted down.

The two walked up to the high platform together, and Chang Zhongxue said loudly: "Soldiers, now that you have become a member of the new army, you must train here seriously and serve the country! Next to me is General Wei, the general of the Wei State, who has brought three hundred Wei soldiers to help our army train, and you must train like a soldier and become the elite division of our Tho State as soon as possible!" When all the soldiers heard this, it turned out to be really Wei Wushu, and the whole army shouted: "Obey!" Wei stepped forward, swept the whole audience, raised his sword and said loudly: " Soldiers, start training!".

Knock knock~

~ As soon as the drum sounded, Wei Wei held the yellow order flag in his hand and waved it to the left, and 20,000 soldiers immediately changed formations, only to see dust fluttering, shield soldiers in front, halberdiers in the middle, and crossbowmen in the back. Wei waved to the right again, and the shield soldier quickly raised his shield, and then swung upward, and the halberdier drew his long halberd and stabbed it forward.

Wei looked at it, the formation was not scattered, and he waved back, and the crossbowman quickly reached the front, raising the crossbow to launch the state. Wei put down the yellow flag, took out the green flag, waved it back and forth, and seventy chariots killed from both sides, and then waved forward, and the chariots instantly turned around and attacked from both sides.

Wei took out the red order flag again, waved it forward, and the army formation quickly formed an offensive formation, with halberders in front, shield soldiers in the middle, crossbowmen and reserves in the rear, and chariots on both wings. During the training, under the protection of the soldiers, Du Shujie came to the school grounds, looking at the soldiers who were training seriously, they were very excited, Wei and Chang Zhongxue saw that Du Shujie was coming, and hurriedly stepped down from the high platform, and arched his hand: "I have seen the king!" Du Shujie smiled and said: "The two generals have worked hard! Lone is very pleased! I hope that the two generals will seriously train the army!" - obey! Du Shujie looked at the training again and left!

In the evening, Wei taught the generals of the Tho State the art of war in the tent. A general of the Tho State asked, "General Wei, this morning I saw that you personally put the infantry and the chariot in battle, how can I make the chariot and the infantry fight together?"

Wei said to everyone: "This question is very good, I found that the Tho country is still mainly infantry, and it can be said that it is very rare in chariots, and it is only used for command. But you have to remember that the chariot is also very important on the battlefield! And the most common chariot and infantry to fight together is the Yuli formation, this formation, Zheng Zhuang Gong used this formation to defeat Zhou Tianzi's army, the Yuli formation is a chariot in front, there are twenty-five soldiers on the left and right sides to protect the chariot, and the chariot is also followed by fifty soldiers, that is, a chariot, which requires a team of 100 people to cooperate in the battle. When attacking, the chariots impact the enemy, the infantry on both sides can help the chariot attack, when the opposing chariot attacks, the infantry on both sides can cooperate in defense, when the chariot advances, the infantry behind can attack the enemy army under the cover of the chariot, when the arrow is released, there must be twenty crossbowmen in the back of the infantry to attack with the chariot from a distance! The first row of the infantry on both sides is the shield soldier, and the last few rows are the halberdiers! The foot soldiers at the back of the chariot are crossbowmen in the first two rows, and the halberdiers in the back rows, but the shield soldiers on both sides!

All the generals of the Tho Kingdom took their pens seriously and wrote them down on the bamboo slips, and the general Zi Zhongxue asked, "Then where is the chariot dead? What are the favorable conditions for the chariot?"

Wei replied: "Jiang Taigong once wrote in "Three Strategies and Six Taos" It is said that there are ten kinds of disadvantages for the chariot, eight are advantageous and unfavorable, and there are disadvantages, and the terrain that can only advance and cannot retreat is the place where the chariot dies; it is necessary to chase the enemy for a long distance to overcome dangerous obstacles, which is the exhaustion of the chariot; the road in front is smooth and easy to walk, and the road behind is dangerous and difficult to walk, which is the trapped place of the chariot; it is difficult to get out of a dangerous situation, which is the Jedi of the chariot; the slime area where the water is destroyed is the labor ground of the chariot; the place where it is located is dangerous on the left and flat on the right, and it is necessary to climb upwards, which is the reverse ground of the chariot; the area where it is located is full of grass and fields, and it is necessary to cross deep water, which is the ground of the chariot; the number of chariots is small, the terrain is flat, and the chariot and infantry are not properly coordinatedThis is the place where the chariot is defeated, and there is a ditch behind it, deep water on the left, and a high slope on the right, which is a bad place for the chariot; it rains heavily, day and night, and it does not stop for ten consecutive days, and the road is destroyed, and it cannot move in front or retreat, and this is the place where the chariot is trapped. All ten of these situations belong to the place of death of the chariot. Therefore, the foolish general was captured because he did not understand the dangers of these ten dead places, while the wise general was able to win because he was able to avoid these ten dead places. It is advantageous to use chariots to break the enemy's front and rear formations before they have been laid out; when the enemy's banners are chaotic and men and horses are constantly moving, they must use chariots to break them; some of the enemy's soldiers are advancing, some are retreating, some are running to the left, some are running to the right, and when the ranks are very chaotic, they must use chariots to break it; when the enemy's position is unstable, the soldiers are looking at each other from front to back, and when the army's spirit is unstable, they must use chariots to break it; when the enemy is hesitant when he advances, and when he is afraid and frightened when he retreats, he must take the opportunity to break it with chariots; and when the whole enemy army is suddenly frightened and chaotic, and act rashlyThe enemy is to take advantage of the opportunity to break it with chariots; when the enemy engages our army on flat terrain and has not finished the battle until dusk, it is necessary to use chariots to break it; and the enemy army marches long distances and does not camp until it is dark, and when the whole army is afraid of battle, it is necessary to use chariots to take the opportunity to break it. These eight situations are all favorable to the combat of the tank. As long as the generals understand the 10 unfavorable situations and the 8 favorable conditions of chariot warfare listed above, even if the enemy forces surround our army on all sides and launch a frontal attack on our army and assault on both sides with thousands of troops and horses, our army will be able to win every battle, no matter how many battles it takes. "

Everyone took note of it, and another general asked, "May I ask how else the chariot can attack?"

Wei picked up a cup, took a sip of water, and then said: "When fighting, in the military formation, the middle is the foot soldiers, the two sides are the chariots, the middle phalanx is the upper, middle and lower armies, the front army arranges veterans, the veterans have rich combat experience, the Chinese army arranges new soldiers, and they can attack with the veterans during the battle, and the rear army is the reserve! The first two rows of the front army are shield soldiers, the back rows are halberders, the first row of the Chinese army is shield soldiers, the second to fifth rows are crossbowmen, the back rows are halberders, and the rear army is Ge soldiers! During the battle, when the enemy forces attack the formation, the chariots on both sides immediately attack the enemy's flanks, so that the enemy can be flanked in front and rear! When the enemy army breaks and flees, the chariots can also pursue! When the enemy forces attack from all sides, the chariots can also provide protection! There is also a method of warfare in which three chariots are in a team, one in the front, one chariot on the left and one in the right rear, and a chariot is followed by 60 foot soldiers to cooperate in the battle! This is the attack of the chariot squad! "It took several hours to listen to this before it ended!

".

A year later, the 20,000 new troops had been trained, and the generals had learned how to make chariots fight with their infantry.

In the school grounds, Hou Hou Du Shujie inspected his army on a high platform. I saw that every soldier of the new army was wearing leather armor and bronze helmets, and was well-armed. Especially a hundred tanks in front of the army, which was the first time that the country of Tho had tanks.

Du Shujie looked at it, and his heart was very excited, because Tho Guo also had armor and chariots. Du Shujie said with a firm look in his eyes: "Soldiers, today you have become the elite division of my Tho country, and in the future, you will use the sword in your hand and the shield in your hand to protect the people of our Tho country and protect the territory of our Tho country!

As soon as the words fell, all the soldiers in the school field shouted one after another: "Ten thousand years of the country, ten thousand years of the king, ten thousand years of the country, ten thousand years of the king!" Several generals present even shed tears, because in the past, the state of Shu and the state of Qin relied on having chariots, and they couldn't lift their heads in the country, and even the country of Ba, with tens of thousands of rattan armor soldiers, often bullied the country of Tho! You must know that at that time, the Qu State was either a vassal to the Shu State, or a vassal to the Ba State, and the current Tho State also has armor and chariots, and it is no longer the weak and small Tho State before!

Tho State Court

Hou Hou looked at the ministers and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, after more than two years of development, the country of Tho is already rich, the people are happy, and the armor is sufficient, so how should my country develop next?"

The national teacher Xu Xing got up and said: "Your Majesty, in order to make the country of Tho stronger, the minister thinks that it is necessary to develop not only the land around the capital, but also the land around the country. This terraced rice field can be adapted to the hilly terrain of our Tho country, and the minister plans to develop the Hanzhong Plain and the Weicheng Basin, and set up six counties in the Hanzhong Plain and two counties in the Weicheng Basin, so that there will be eight more counties in our Tho country! The minister guarantees that the Hanzhong Plain and the Weicheng Basin can be developed in just two years, and the national strength of our Tho country will be able to reach a new peak!"

After hearing this, Du Shujie nodded and said, "Okay, just follow the words of the national teacher!"

Prime Minister Ying Bao got up and said: "Your Majesty, in order to make my Tho country stronger, the minister thinks that I should annex the Tho country, swallow the Tho country and strengthen my Tho country, and then send troops to attack the Shu country in a few years, and my Tho country will definitely become the hegemony of one side!"

Wei got up and said: "The minister recommended one person to serve as the general, and the minister thought that General Chang Zhongxue could be appointed as Sima, and Zhou Borui could be appointed as the general, and the minister recommended Qiang Yong as the general Zhonglang. General Chang Zhongxue has a view of the overall situation, and is good at mobilizing the military defense of the whole country, and the appointment of General Chang Zhongxue as Sima will definitely make our Tho State strong, and Zhou Borui and Qiang Yong are good at the art of war, and they can lead the army alone!" Du Shujie said: "Okay! Just according to the words of the general!" -- Jun Shang Shengming! And on the other side, the Wei State was still discussing how to attack the Qi State.

The court of the Wei State

Wei Hou took the information from the Qi State and said to the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that my Wei State has been cultivating for several years, and the territory of the Qin State that I occupied before has completely turned into the national strength of my Wei State, it's time to send troops to the Qi State, right?"

Wu Tong got up and said: "If the monarch must want to attack the Qi country, he must be famous, so the minister thinks that if he wants to attack the Qi country, he must wait until the Qi country attacks the Yan country, so if he wants the Qi country to attack the Yan country, he must instigate the Duke of Qi to attack the Yan country, and the minister plans to write a letter to Tian Gu and ask Tian Gu to persuade his monarch to attack the Yan country!"

After hearing this, Wei Hou nodded, and asked Pang Juan again: "General Pang, how do you say that you can let the Qi State attack the Yan State?"

Pang Juan got up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Sima's words, but in order to make my Wei State better attack, Qi State should unite Zhao State, South Korea, Chu State, and gather the strength of the four countries to attack Qi State together! And in order to attack Qi State more smoothly, we must use a discord strategy to discord the trust of the King of Qi and Tian Ji and Sun Bin, and the minister heard that Tian Ji and Prime Minister Zou Ji have always been at odds, and the minister thinks that he can start from Zou Ji! Let his monarch stay away from Tian Ji and Sun Bin, and persuade the King of Qi to appoint Tian Shou as a general again after Tian Gu re-persuades the King of Qi to appoint Tian Shou! When Wei Hou heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "General Pang is responsible for this matter!"
