Chapter Eighty-Seven: The New Cry of the Chicks (1)
The sunflower seeds, which were deliberately planted by the inkers who were casually thrown and went deep into the village community, sprouted soon after.
They are bathed in the rain of mangs, the wind of the summer solstice, the heat of the summer heat, and the thunder of the great heat, and they grow up day by day.
It produces leaves like paulownia and buds like chrysanthemums.
After that midsummer sacrifice, a lot happened.
Relying on the trust of usurping the name of Wu Zhu, the ink masters did things that had nothing to do with Wu Zhu, just like those sunflowers that continued to grow, and slowly gained more trust.
The sunflower has not yet bloomed, but the seeds planted before have already borne fruit.
He was no longer the son of the obscure shoemaker, at least his name was known thousands of miles away.
Thousands of miles away, Wei capital Anyi.
Wu Qi, who was not confused, had returned to Weidu from Xihe for several days.
The Sect Master of Wei Sect who really trusted him and reused him was in the prime of life, and in Wu Qi's opinion, this was a male lord, a male lord who could take revenge on himself.
The land of the Three Jin Dynasty, the mountains and rivers on the surface, are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Originally, when the family was separated, the Zhao family was the most profitable, but after these years of change, the leader of the Three Jin Dynasty has become the Wei State.
Attacking Qin in the west and seizing Zhongshan from the mouth of the Zhao clan in the north, in the name of the joint efforts of the three Jin Dynasty, he attracted Han Zong to curb the Zhao clan's involvement in the Central Plains, but the Zhao clan's efforts were not beneficial, but they were temporarily unable to turn against Wei Han.
There are Li Kui and Ximen Leopard inside, and Le Yangzi, Wu Qi, and Gongzi are Zhibing outside. There was also Zixia as a teacher, so that Wei gradually became the cultural center of the Three Jin Dynasty.
Wu Qi returned from Xihe this time, and the most important thing was that Wei Si hoped that Wu Qi would be careful of the Qin State, and he must ensure that the Qin State would not find an opportunity to backstab when aligning the troops.
This was not a difficult thing for Wu Qi, the most important thing was that after Li Kui changed the law, Wei took the lead in implementing the private land system in the land of Xihe, and many Qin people fled from the territory of Qin to Wei just to have a piece of their own land.
In this case, the Qin State could only defend, and it was difficult to attack. A few years ago, the Qin State was defeated, and now the vitality has not recovered, Wu Qi just came to report the situation in Xihe to reassure Weis, and also to reassure Weiss to make a strategic decision.
Not long ago, Qi was in civil strife, and before aligning the use of troops, Weiss specially sent people to consult Wu Qi.
Wu Qi only said: The people of Qi have a strong character, the country is rich, the monarchs and ministers are arrogant and extravagant, despise the people, the government decrees are lax, the money is uneven, and the people in his array are not aligned. The front forces are strong, and the rear forces are weak, so although the forces are concentrated, they are not strong.
If you want to attack the tactics of Qi formation, it is best to divide the troops into three ways, and attack its left and right flanks with two sides, if you have the opportunity to complete the flank outflank and encircle from the rear, it is best to encircle, because the Qi people are weak in the flank, and once the flanks are encircled, the Qi people will be defeated. If there is no chance to close the siege, then the two wings will be pressed, forcing the Qi army to worry, so as to break it in one fell swoop.
Now the first stage of the battle of Qi has ended, the siege of Liqiu has been resolved, and the three sects have annihilated 30,000 Qi troops and 1,000 chariots, and built two Jingguan.
The main general Wei Zhizhai Jiao used Wu Qi's tactical concept to outflank the Qi army from the flank, triggering the first battle of annihilation with tens of thousands of deaths in the early Warring States period.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the situation of chariot fighting, deaths, and routs has changed.
The news came back that it was said that there were rebels defending the city in Xiaqiu, and before the reinforcements arrived, they almost broke the city at the most critical time, but they were held by these rebels. The subtlety of its means was greatly appreciated by Zhai Jiao, who also led the Wei soldiers, and when the name was mentioned, Wu Qi suddenly realized...... He was familiar with this person when he was a general in Lu State, and the two led each other to fight several times.
Now Qi Hou has been notified to collect the body, but Qi Hou refused, and I don't know whether Qi Hou refused, or Tian refused in the name of Qi Hou to make Qi Hou completely lose the hearts of the people.
In the name of the Marquis of Jin and the edict of the Son of Heaven, the Rendi Alliance has also ended, except for the Song Duke who died halfway, the rest of the invited countries have participated.
After the alliance, under the pretense of Zhou Tianzi's order, Han, Zhao and Wei Sanzong went out separately as the three armies of Jin, and agreed to meet in Pingyin in order to completely defeat the Qi State. Yue Wang Peng also sent troops to the southeast of Qi to attack Qi.
This time, it was no longer their respective deployments that led the army, but the battle of the country.
Yue Wang Phong personally led the Yue army soldiers, Zhao Ji, the suzerain of the Zhao family, as the chief general of the Zhao army, Han Qian, the suzerain of the Han family, as the chief general of the Han army, and Wei Dazong's son Wei Zheng as the chief general of the Wei army.
Now that the main forces of the three sects are exhausted, Wei Si is most worried about the Qin people, so he urgently recruits Wu Qi and rewards, and also listens to Wu Qi's opinions in order to make a decision.
Now the only one who has the ability to pose a threat to Wei is Qin.
The state of Qi will be defeated, there are too many feudal kings in the state of Chu, the king of Chu is newly established, and the mobilization is slow, and it will take a year or two to complete the integration.
The Song, Zheng, Wei and other countries in the south did not dare to move the Three Jins, and they were all a group of wall grass.
Zheng Guo, who has a little strength, is also a mortal enemy with Han Zong, Han Qian's father killed Zheng Guojun when he attacked Zheng, and if Zheng Guo really wants to take the opportunity to send troops, Wei Si will be grateful, so that Han Zong will only be closer to Wei, and he can also unite to encircle Zhao Zong and not allow Zhao to get involved in the Central Plains.
This time, Wu Qi returned to Anyi, and received many rewards, and the Lord was relieved, and he also saw some things that he had never seen before.
In Weiss's palace, Wu Qi saw a grain he had never seen before, called sweet potato, which was extremely cheesy.
Wei Si is asking those disciples of Zixia to give him a nice name, so as to dedicate it to the Son of Heaven as Jiahe, so that it will be easier to officially seal the marquis, correct the name, speak more smoothly, and also take some auspicious meaning.
It is said that there were also two grains, which were given to the Zhao and Han clans.
The person who sent the gift was the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Wei Si Dayue, and deliberately showed Wu Qi, it is said that this thing can be planted with several stones per mu, which is most suitable for spending the famine year, and can also be planted in some mountains of Sanjin, which is the most suitable.
Wu Qi also heard Shi's name for the first time here, but he couldn't remember how there could be such a strange figure among the ink scholars.
He had heard of the name of the ink scholar when he was in the state of Lu, and he was quite familiar with it.
When he was in the country of Lu, he saw Mozi.
At that time, Lu Hou also asked Mozi how to beware of Qi State, Mozi looked at the national politics and military strength of Lu State, and directly told Lu Hou to either hurry up and prepare gifts to make friends with various countries, and take advantage of the momentum of various countries as aid, relying only on Lu State can only win one or two battles but it is impossible to completely defeat Qi State; Either comprehensive reform, centralization of power in hand, righteous deeds, enhancement of national strength, and saving on open source.
Wu Qi thought so deeply at the time, and he was also quite unimpressed by Lu Hou's reaction at that time.
Later, Xiang Ziniu Valu, Wu Qi was a Lu general, and he also fought a few battles with Xiang Ziniu's Mo Shi Shengxuan, winning two and drawing two.
However, he commanded the weak Lu army, and the other party commanded the strong Qi army.
When the news of the battle of Xiaqiu came back, Wu Qi also heard that the person who helped Gongsun Hui guard Xiaqiu was the Mo Zhe Shengqiu, who had fought against him several times back then.
The heart said that this person really rebelled against ink, but he was a fellow traveler with himself, and he was dedicated to pursuing a career.
He was quite familiar with the Ink Writer.
On the one hand, there is a history of being in the Lu country, and the Lu land relies on the Song Dynasty, which is the scope of the Mo's activities, and Mozi has also personally gone to the Lu country.
On the other hand, he first followed Zeng Shen to learn Confucianism, Zeng Shen was the child who cried when he was a child and was told by his father to go back and kill pigs to coax him not to cry, and he really killed him. That is the sworn enemy of the Mo family without a king and no father, several well-known figures of the Mo family are mentioned all day long, Wu Qi was once a disciple, how can I not know?
It is precisely because of familiarity that I wonder, when will there be an additional person called Shi among the ink people?
If he had only heard this name in Weiss Palace and the envoys of Song Sicheng, it would have been fine, but he had also heard this person's name several times in Anyi City.
A crystal-like food called tofu has just appeared in Anyi and is very popular. One is soft and delicious, and the other is not expensive, Wu Qi has also eaten it once, which is indeed praiseworthy.
When asked about this thing, it was said that the ink was made by the right name, and it was found in all major cities.
A new way of eating wheat also began to appear in Anyi. It was also the first time for Wu Qi to see that wheat as a miscellaneous grain had so many ways to eat, and he also praised it a lot after tasting it.
Asked again, it was the name of the ink to make it, all the major cities will have it in the future, and what is said that the Song land planted the wheat, the autumn planting and the spring harvest, in the future, this thing will be popular in the Central Plains.
Originally, he only relied on sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, Wu Qi was already very interested in Shibian, and when he heard Su Maizhi's words, Wu Qi's heart was even more moved.
Overnight, a banquet was held in Anyi, and the envoy of the imperial father of Song Shangqing Sicheng was invited to make inquiries.
He has a reputation in Xihe, it can be said that he has become famous all over the world, and in the face of the envoy of a weak country, he does not have to be polite, he goes straight to the point, and asks about the suitability and the matter of Sumai.
"Suitable for this man, about sixteen or seventeen years old. Originally, he was just the son of a shoemaker in Shangqiu, and he didn't know where he learned his skills, but after all, his status was low. ”
Wu Qi hummed quietly, but he was quite unimpressed in his heart. He thinks that he can be promoted if he has ability, and he doesn't care about any bloodline at all, Wei Zong can have the current situation, and it is precisely because of this that he can attract talents from all over the world.
If the clan is reused, I am afraid that Wei will be finished, and Wu Qi will look down on those characters in the clan, even if the prince who can lead the army to fight at a young age is nothing more than this in Wu Qi's opinion.
However, he also understood why he hadn't heard of this person's name, it turned out to be a new ink master, and he asked about Sumai again.
"Sumai is grown in villages outside Shangqiu City, but it is useless. In winter, you need to practice martial arts, if you plant wheat, where is there time to practice martial arts? Besides, if you plant wheat, where will you go to perform martial arts in winter? Winter is the season of field hunting, hunting, and village shooting, so this is not possible. ”
"Besides, I heard that if you plant wheat, you need to harvest it in May next spring, and then plant the next round of crops, so that if the common people don't use force, the country will be weak......
The envoy was right, this was according to the military system of the original countries. Under the system of village community and land grant, the peasants and soldiers were integrated, the village community was autonomous, and the military was practiced on weekdays, and the peasants were directly recruited during the war, so it was impossible for the farmers to spend all their time on planting.
But after Wu Qi heard these words, his heart suddenly moved, his face almost showed an excited look, he took a deep breath to stabilize his mind, and said secretly: "This method is wonderful!" It is in line with the military system! Why do we need to practice martial arts? With 30,000 soldiers, you can defeat 100,000 peasant soldiers! ”
What he wants to change is not only the formation and training, but the military system, so this is not a big deal in the eyes of the Song people, but it makes him feel that it is simply a big thing.
He is not just a general, but a great talent who can enter and exit the prime minister, so he naturally sees farther than this envoy, and he also sees farther than the Sicheng Emperor who only knows how to seize power in internal fighting.
Whoever is not able to enter the phase cannot know the beauty of this thing, and he happens to be this kind of person.
