The three-day mourning period has passed, the national lieutenant Zhao Hao was buried, the people of Handan were on both sides, a coffin slowly walked out, the sound of mourning music, King Zhao led the ministers to wear white silk, such treatment is enough to see Zhao Hao's status in the hearts of everyone, Zhao Hao ran around for Zhao all his life, and tried his best to send the letter of Feng Ting, the county guard of Shangdang, which is admirable.

Zhao Kuo followed the coffin, the scale of the coffin was very large, the funeral ceremony of the Warring States period followed the Zhou Dynasty ritual system, the coffin of the Son of Heaven was fourfold, the princes were threefold, the princes were heavy, the doctor was heavy, and the scholars were not heavy. That is to say, in addition to the inner coffin used by the Son of Heaven, there are also four outer coffins on the outside, a total of five. Each layer of coffin has a specific name, the outermost layer is called the big coffin, the second layer is called the genus, these two layers are made of catalpa wood, also collectively known as the catalpa coffin or azusa palace, the third layer is called 迤 or 俾, with basswood zuò, the fourth and fifth layers are leather coffins made of buffalo leather and rhinoceros leather (it is also possible that the leather coffin is only counted as one layer, and the innermost layer of the inner coffin). The princes and below decrease from the inside to the outside, and when they reach the rank of scholars, there is only one layer of large coffins, and no coffins can be used. Not only that, the size of the coffin, the material patterns used for the interior and exterior decoration, also have a strict grade: "The coffin of the king (this refers to the princes) is eight inches, six inches, and four inches." The coffin of the scholar is eight inches, which is six inches. The doctor's coffin is six inches, four inches, and the coffin is six inches. "The king cover is lacquered, and the three bundles (the wooden tenon that connects the coffin lid to the coffin body) and the three bundles (tied with leather strips or silk). The doctor covers with lacquer, two cooks and two bunches. Shigai does not need paint, two bunches and two bundles. "The coffin of the corpse is decorated with red and green silk and fixed with gold nails and ivory nails, the doctor uses black and green silk and fixes it with cow bone nails, and the priest only uses black silk and fixes it with cow bone nails. The color and pattern of the paint on the outside of the coffin also vary.

The burial chamber is also exquisite, it can be called a coffin, and its shape is often like a square well, so it is also called a coffin in the literature. The coffin is divided into several pieces with a board wall, which are the coffin box, the head box, the side box, the foot box, etc., the coffin is placed in the coffin box, and the rest of the part is filled with burial goods.

Lin Xiangru stepped forward to read the book of King Zhao, the words were earnest, everyone couldn't help crying, which was said to be Zhao Hao's life achievements, read out, the time has come, everyone slowly put the coffin into the tomb, the porcelain and iron money used for the funeral were put away one by one, and the soldiers stepped forward to bury the tomb.

As soon as it was over, Lin Xiangru stepped forward: "Mrs. Zhao mourns!" ”

Mother Zhao nodded, "Thank you, Lord Shangqing, for your concern!" ”

Lin Xiangru sighed, "People are like this, Lin Xiangru will also go in a few years, and Zhao Guo will really depend on you when the time comes!" After speaking, his eyes fell on Zhao Kuo and the others, this time the defeat of the Qin army and the killing of the main general Hu Xian made everyone have high hopes for Zhao Kuo's new army, and Zhao Kuo also became the best candidate for the commander of Zhao under Lian Po.

"How's it going to be with the party?"

"General Lian built fortifications based on Lao Maling, and there have been several battles before, but neither side has benefited!"

"The other party's main general is in vain?"

Lin Xiangru shook his head again and again, "This matter is also strange, Bai Qi's army has been guarding the wild king, and it is Wang Di who is fighting against General Lian in the land of Gaoping!" ”

"It's a bit weird!"

Lin Xiangru nodded, "This battle is by no means a short day to be able to distinguish the winner from the loser, the Qin people are good at attacking, the Zhao people are good at defending, the Qin army continues to increase its troops, and the number of troops is no less than 400,000, which is really worrying!" ”

"In that case, why don't you transfer the Handan garrison plus Zhao Kuo's new army to Shangdang and fight a decisive battle with the Qin army?"

"Handan City is the lifeblood of Zhao State, the hope of several generations of Zhao State, if the party is lost, Handan can still hold on, if Handan is lost, Zhao is afraid of hopelessness!"

After hearing this, Zhao Kuo immediately knew that it was nothing more than that King Zhao did not want to use his life-saving power to fight with the Qin army and leave some back-ups, which was understandable.

Zhao Kuo returned to his residence, the commander of the new army left Handan and entered the valley, the training of the new army could not be delayed for a day, Qin and Zhao soldiers met each other, it was inevitable to mobilize the new army to help, hundreds of thousands of troops against each other, such a formation had not been seen in his life, after the funeral, Zhao Mansion finally returned to peace, and the grief in his heart could only be slowly healed with time, and finally remained in the memory.

Footsteps sounded, Zhao Kuo turned around, Zhao's mother walked in with a box in her hand, Zhao Kuo shouted, "Mother!" ”

"Sit down, this is something that your father asked your mother to give you, saying that it will be of great use to you in the future!"

"Thank you, mother."

"Rest, I'm tired these days!"

Zhao's mother left, Zhao Kuo was curious, opened the baggage, but it was a stack of bamboo slips, untied the rope on it, and the candle flame got close and finally saw it clearly, and wrote four big characters on it'Sun Tzu's Art of War'. finally knew his father's intentions, and he must want to practice the art of war by himself, so that he could lead his troops to fight in the future.

When I opened the bamboo slip, I saw that it was written: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored." Therefore, the scriptures are based on five things, the school is calculated, and the situation is asked: one is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law. The Taoist, who makes the people agree with the above, can die with it, can live with it, and is not in danger; Heaven, yin and yang, cold and heat, and time system; The land is far and near, dangerous and easy, wide and narrow, dead and alive; generals, wisdom, faith, benevolence, bravery, strictness; The law, the bend system, the official way, and the main use. All these five will be unheard, those who know will win, and those who do not know will not win. Therefore, the school plans to find out its feelings, and says: Who is the master? Who will be capable? Who has heaven and earth? What is the law? Which of the soldiers is stronger? Soldiers' training? What is the reward and punishment? That's how I know what to do. will listen to my plan, use it to win, and keep it; They will not listen to my plan, and they will be defeated if they use it, and they will go away.

Calculating profit to listen is the momentum of the situation, in order to support it. The powerful are also controlled by profit. Soldiers, treacherous ways. Therefore, it can be shown but cannot be used, it is not used to show it, it is near and it is far away, and it is far away and it is shown to be near. Profit and temptation, chaos and take, real and prepared, strong and avoid, angry and scratch, humble and arrogant, hard work, kiss and leave, attack its unpreparedness, surprise. The victory of this soldier cannot be passed on first.

The husband is the victor without a fight, and he has to count a lot; The temple is not victorious without a fight, and it is considered to be less. More is better than nothing! I look at it this way, and I can see the victory or defeat.

What is written in it is the view of the grandson of the first generation of soldiers on the war, through the analysis of the five aspects of the enemy and us, the comparison of the seven situations, to obtain details, to predict the possibility of victory or defeat in the war, which records in detail the interpretation of the war by the grandson in his life.

"The Beginning of the Plan" talks about temple calculations, that is, before sending troops, compare the various conditions of the enemy and us in the temple, estimate the probability of victory or defeat in the war, and formulate a battle plan.

"Combat Chapter" talks about the mobilization of the war after the temple calculation and the use of it against the enemy, and the victory over the enemy will become stronger.

"Plotting to Attack" is about attacking the city with wisdom, that is, not using force, but using various means to make the defending enemy surrender. The first three articles talk about strategic strategy.

The "Military Formation Chapter" talks about factors of an objective, stable, and easy-to-see nature, such as the strength of combat effectiveness and the material preparation for war.

"Troop Strength" refers to subjective, volatile, and accidental factors, such as the allocation of troops and the courage of morale.

"The Fiction and Reality" talks about how to disperse and assemble, encircle and detour, and cause our strong enemies to be inferior at the predetermined battle site, and win more than few.

The above three articles are battlefield commands.

"Military Controversy" talks about how to "take a detour as a straight line" and "take trouble as a benefit" to seize the advantage of the first opportunity in the battle.

"Nine Changes" talks about generals adopting different strategies and tactics according to different situations.

"The March" is about how to camp and observe the enemy during the march.

"Terrain" talks about six different types of combat terrain and the corresponding tactical requirements.

The "Nine Places Chapter" talks about the nine types of combat environments and corresponding tactical requirements divided according to the "host-object" shape and the Cheng dù that penetrates deep into the enemy.

The above is about the changes in the battlefield, and the war is changing with the trend, and there is no fixed model at all.

"Fire Attack" is about assisting with fire. "The Interval Chapter" is about the combined use of five types of spies.

Zhao Kuo closed the book, the text on it was inevitably jerky and difficult to understand, closed his eyes, remembered the two battles he had experienced, the first time he counted Maiqiu, relying on the news provided by the ink man, the second rescue and the second rescue was based on the danger of the terrain, plus the suspicion of the formation forced the other party to be careless, as the main will be very important to make every decision, there must not be the slightest sloppiness, heavy book, which also contains Zhao Hao's inner expectations, the book Jane put aside, fell asleep, really tired.
