this day.
Wu Wangliao brought his son Qingji to look for Su Che.
Qingji was the eldest son of King Liao of Wu. He was born with supernatural power and extraordinary bravery. He was known as the number one warrior of Wu before he was a teenager.
In order to practice riding and archery, he often went hunting, stepped across mountains and canyons, walked through waterfalls and streams, smashed bears and tigers, and fought leopards.
He once fought a rhinoceros and captured it for life. Because of his bravery, he has become a model for many young hunters. Even many hunters and wrestlers from neighboring countries are willing to take refuge in his disciples.
Such a fierce man, Wu Wangliao was very worried that he would become a reckless man who ruined Wu's hegemony, so he specially brought him here, and wanted him to follow Su Che's side, to see more and learn more , Keep your mind long, don't just think about hunting all day long.
Qing Ji still respected Su Che very much, and saluted Su Che respectfully, because he had heard about Su Che's achievements, when he was attacking Doctor Qing, Su Che always took the lead, rushed to the first place, beheaded countless people, One-handed swordsmanship that can pass through the gods, killing people without blood!
Qingji is looking forward to Su Che's ability to teach him this magical swordsmanship...
"Although he is brave, he has no strategy. He has to do everything as soon as his head is hot. He doesn't think about it at all. I am very worried about his future, so I ask Dazai to teach me. I hope Dazai can accept it. This ineffective disciple." Wu Wangliao said seriously.
"Personal bravery, no matter how powerful it is, can't achieve great things. If Qingji can be by your side, learn half of your strategy, and no longer blindly only know how to be brave and ruthless, then I can rest assured."
Hearing Wu Wangliao's words, Su Che nodded and said, "Then hand him over to me, and I will teach him. Don't worry, Your Majesty."
As soon as these words came out, Wu Wangliao couldn't help showing a smile, and he patted Qingji on the head.
Qingji hurriedly gave out the gift he had prepared. This is "Shuxiu", a greeting gift from students to teachers, and a basic etiquette in this era.
Qingji showed a flattering smile and said, "Teacher, these are all wild animals I hunted. There are bison, deer, bears, tigers, small gifts, please accept them."
Su Che took the bunch of repairs, and glanced at the many animal meats in the basket. Many of the animal meats were rich in aura, not extraordinary meat.
Su Che nodded, took out a sword, and gave it to Young Master Qingji as a gift in return.
Qingji was delighted when he got the sword, and he pulled it out quickly, only to see a cold light flashing on the sword body, the blade was so sharp that it would break when blowing hairs, this is a rare sword!
Having obtained such a precious treasure, Qingji was overjoyed immediately: "Thank you, Teacher, for giving me the sword! Does this sword have a name?"
Su Che smiled and said, "This sword is made by chiseling Mount Ci, venting its stream, and taking Tie Ying. After repeated forging, it is finally cast into a precious sword. The sword is named Longquan."
"Longquan sword?" Qingji couldn't help sighing, "What a good name, what a good sword!"
Su Che smiled and asked, "Do you know about swords?"
"Naturally, I am very proficient in how to use a sword, and I know how to judge a sword's quality!" Qing Ji nodded and said.
"Then let me test you. Do you know what is the essential difference between this sword and other swords?" Su Che asked.
"This sword is a precious sword, and the other swords are very ordinary. Is this the difference?" Qing Ji was stunned for a moment, and said subconsciously.
"No, I'm asking about the essential difference." Su Che shook his head.
"This... students really don't know, is there any difference?" Qingji asked.
"The difference is that this sword is made by Tie Ying, and its material is different from the bronze sword. This is the essential difference." Su Che said slowly.
"The material is different?" Qing Ji's eyes widened: "Is this the reason why this sword is so sharp?"
"Yes." Su Che nodded.
"The key to bronze swords is how much tin is added to the copper during smelting. If there is less tin, the sword will be too soft; if there is too much tin, the sword will be too hard, but it will break easily. Therefore, most bronze swords are made of bronze with higher tin content. , use bronze with a low tin content to make the sword spine, so as to make a sword with a hard blade and a flexible spine."
"The development track of bronze swords is that they are getting longer and longer. At first, the bronze swords were very short, no more than ten inches. Now there are twenty-inch swords. This is the progress of smelting technology. One inch is long and one inch is stronger. As the craftsmanship continues to improve, the sword will continue to grow longer, and it may become a thirty-inch sword in the future..."
"But the problem is that the bronze sword will eventually have a limit because of its material."
"But if you switch to a sword made of steel, not only its hardness, but also its flexibility are far superior to bronze swords."
"Swords and long knives made of steel can not only take into account the length, but also take into account all aspects of performance."
"This is the power of innovation, of change."
"Old things are not necessarily good. The experience summed up in the past is undeniably useful, but if you always follow the advice of the predecessors, then you will never be able to walk out of your own path."
"It has always been like this, and will eventually be abandoned by the times..."
Hearing these words, Qing Ji couldn't help but widen his eyes, and nodded in a ignorant way: "I understand, teacher."
"What do you understand?" Su Che was a little curious.
"Focus on innovation." Qingji nodded.
Su Che was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly: "You are right when you say that, and you can also understand it that way..."
Wu Wangliao was listening to the conversation between the master and the apprentice. At first, he was a little worried that Qingji would not obey the discipline, would not listen to the teacher, and would piss the teacher off. This kind of thing happened often before, but now, he can finally stop worrying so much. up.
When Wu Wangliao was about to leave, Su Che asked him to wait.
Su Che turned around and took out a roll of bamboo slips, and handed it to Wu Wangliao.
"The state of Wu is about to send troops to conquer the state of Chu. This battle is bound to be a complete victory, but there is also a slight possibility of losing the war. After all, the mourning army must win."
"In order to completely eliminate this situation, this brand-new military merit system will make our Wu army a powerful army that can sweep the entire world!"
"A brand new military merit system?" Hearing this, King Wu quickly took the bamboo slips from Su Che's hands, spread them out, and read them seriously.
Just looking at it, his eyes widened.
"This this!"
Wu Wangliao looked at the content on the bamboo slips and was stunned.
Young Master Qingji at the side also came over to take a look.
What is written on this bamboo slip is the [-]th class military merit system. This is the version of the military merit system in the Wu region compiled by Su Che imitating the [-]th class military merit system in the Qin and Han Dynasties.
The original twentieth-class military merits are like this: first-class public officer, second-ranked, third-ranked, fourth-not-changed, fifth-ranked official, sixth-official official, seventh-ranked official, eighth-ranked official, ninth-fifth official, and tenth left-bearer , the eleventh is the head of the right, the twelve is the left, the thirteenth is the middle, the fourteenth is the right, the fifteenth is the top, the sixteenth is the top, the seventeenth is the head, the eighteenth is the head, and the nineteen is inside. Hou, twenty Chehou.
After being transformed by Su Che, only some names were changed, but the overall situation is still not bad.
In this set of military merit system.
As long as you kill an enemy "Jiashi", which is usually an elite forward in the army, you can get the first-level duke duke, and at the same time get Tian Yiqing, Zhai Yiyi and a servant.
In other words, as long as you kill a striker, an ordinary soldier, you can reach the peak of your life.
One hectare of land is [-] mu of land, even if it is to go to the field, it is beyond the imagination of ordinary farmers.
Being rich, having titles, and being able to inherit them are the core of the military merit system.
Under the so-called heavy reward, there must be a brave man. Under this brand new military merit system, it is conceivable that those soldiers will rush towards the enemy as if they have gone crazy, bursting out with unprecedented combat power!
And the title of this gentleman is only the lowest level among the twenty titles. As long as the more heads are beheaded, the more military merits will be obtained, and the title will be promoted higher.
Under such a reward system, Wu's army will become the most ferocious army in the world...
In Su Che's previous life.
The history book "Warring States Policy Han Ce [-]" has records: The soldiers of Shandong were armed with armor to fight, and the Qin people donated armor and armor to chase the enemy.
It means that soldiers east of Xiaoshan must wear armor and helmets to fight.
But the soldiers of the Qin State took off all these, and some even went into battle shirtless. The Qin army held the head in the left hand and the prisoner in the right hand on the battlefield, and rushed forward desperately.
This gave Qin Jun a frightening title: Master of Tiger and Wolf!
Isn't Qin Jun afraid of death?
Of course not.
This is the power of the [-]th class military merit system.
Driven by desire, every soldier who dreams of fighting for a fight and turning his bicycle into a motorcycle will explode with unimaginable fighting ability.
In the final analysis, this is the people at the bottom, the vast majority of ordinary people, the only way to achieve class transition is the only way for them, the lower classes of society, to rise up, which is naturally going to be crazy.
Wu Wangliao looked at it for a while, was silent for a while, and said hesitantly, "Is there something wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Su Che asked with a smile.
"There are too many rewards. If wars are constantly launched, how can the country have so many lands and servants to distribute to them?" Wu Wangliao frowned and said slowly:
"And there are too many rewards, it is easy to drive the soldiers completely crazy, and it is inevitable to kill the good and pretend to be meritorious - the innocent people at the bottom will also be regarded as military merit by them."
It has to be said that Wu Wangliao still has some foresight and foresight. He can see the shortcomings of this military merit system at a glance. The land and property in this country are so small. If they continue to be distributed, it is easy to appear unsealable. Condition.
At the same time, the situation of killing the good and taking the credit will inevitably appear.
This situation, even in the Ming Dynasty a few years later, still cannot be resolved.
Even though the imperial court expressly prohibits the army from killing good men and taking meritorious service, more and more civilians were killed.
The act of killing the good and pretending to be meritorious is extremely cruel, killing innocent people and causing the army to lose the support of the people.
The second is to trigger the atmosphere of deception and fraud in the army.
Part of the rise of the Jurchen was related to the Ming army's murder of good deeds.
Human greed is endless.
Su Che smiled and said: "This is the problem of every system. Flaws and advantages always coexist. It is impossible for a system to be without flaws. It only has advantages. Where there are flaws, you only need to know the flaws and try your best to solve them." It is enough to avoid this defect.”
"As for your concern, I have naturally thought about it. Although these rewards look very attractive, it is not that simple to achieve them."
"First of all, the premise of conferring military merit is that you must win a battle. If you lose a battle, you are not eligible to be conferred a knight. No matter how many enemies you kill, it is useless."
"Secondly, there are a series of regulations. If you don't complete them, you won't be able to obtain the title...For example, an elite team of 18 must behead five people before they are eligible to be awarded the title."
"And a war also requires beheading. For example, in a siege battle, you must kill [-] enemies before you can be awarded a title. For example, you can only be awarded a title if you kill [-] enemies in a field battle. This is called a rigid target!"
"Of course, as soon as this hard indicator is released, there will definitely be a situation where people are used for their own use. In this case, it is necessary to arrange patrol officers to avoid such situations as much as possible..."
"In addition, although the rewarded land is owned by the soldiers, it is not owned by the soldiers in essence, but owned by the state. As long as it is cultivated or leased, it needs to pay [-]% to the state as a tax. Its attributes cannot be traded and can only be kept forever. Yes, unless you give up this piece of land."
"After the soldiers die, these lands can be inherited by their sons, and the state will not take them back. Their lands will be retired with the state."
Under Su Che's introduction, this system can be said to be gradually perfected.
In Shang Yang's reform, the rewarded land will be taken back after the death of the non-commissioned officer.
This undoubtedly directly offended the new Xungui Group to death. His original reform offended the old noble group to death, and now he offended the new Xungui Group. Not wronged.
This guy simply does not leave any room for retreat. Except for the emperor, it is reasonable and reasonable to offend all vested interest groups and become a fifth-level Shang Yang.
But Su Che is not so desperate, he understands a truth, called, sustainable depletion of fish.
Isn't it stupid to cut leeks and uproot them?
Leek needs to be harvested crop by crop. Soldiers want to leave the land to future generations, so let them leave it to future generations. Anyway, they can receive food or money.
Wu Wangliao listened carefully to Su Che's explanation, and couldn't help sighing, "Mister is resourceful."
Qingji, who was at the side, was shocked when he heard these words and the reward system of this ring, he never thought that he could play like this!
"With Dazai Gong's [-]th-class military merit system, this battle is bound to be a complete victory!" Wu Wangliao sighed.
"What we want is not a complete victory." Su Che slowly shook his head and said, "What we want is to annex Chu and become the largest country in the world. This is the first step in the rise of our Wu Kingdom... ... Tunchu!"
Wu Wangliao heard the words, the tiger's body shook, and he said excitedly: "It should be so! It should be so!"
Since the reform of the Wu State, the country has become rich and the people are strong. It has been so long that it has been preparing for such a long time. It is like an arrow on the full bowstring, which is about to be launched...
And now, at this moment, it's finally time to launch, how can this not be expected?
Wu Wangliao was very excited, thinking that he could sit on the overlord's position, he was very excited.
Young Master Qingji on the side also said excitedly: "I want to follow the army too, and I want to make contributions too!!"
Wu Wangliao glanced at him, and reprimanded with some dissatisfaction: "Nonsense! How can you go to the front line to fight, the majestic prince of Wu!"
"Father, as the prince of Wu, I have no military strength. I only know how to hunt. People who don't know think I'm just a hunter. I don't want to be said so. I want to follow the army to conquer Chu. I also want to make contributions, and I want to make a name for myself!!" Young Master Qingji said stubbornly.
Wu Wangliao glanced at Su Che helplessly.
But Su Che said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be so worried. Since Young Master Qingji has such an idea, it's naturally good. A monarch who can't fight, what kind of wise monarch is he?"
Since he is a king, he must have abundant martial virtues!
"Then trouble sir." Wu Wangliao could only say so, and then left with the bamboo slips, throwing Young Master Qingji to Su Che.
Wu Wangliao came out of Dazai's mansion, the wind was a bit cold, he shrunk his clothes, looked up at the drowsy sky.
"The storm is coming..."
"It's the same in this world."
……
inside the mansion.
Su Che looked at Young Master Qingji.
Young Master Qingji has a hulking back and a hulking waist. He is tall and burly when he was only a teenager. At this moment, he is sitting obediently on the cushion, waiting for Su Che to speak.
"You don't have to be so cautious, there is no one else around now." Su Che said with a smile, and threw a stool over.
This is the Hu stool. In this era, most people are sitting on the ground while still sitting upright. After a long time, it can be described as very uncomfortable.
When Qingji saw this stool, his eyes widened immediately: "...a barbarian's stool?"
"Yes." Su Che nodded, and sat directly on a small recliner.
"I don't have such things at home. My father hates them very much. I bought them once before, but he threw them away the next day and got mad at me. It's obviously very useful." Qingji complained. , sat down on the stool, and immediately felt much more comfortable.
"Haha, the king wants to teach you etiquette, but you take these things back, of course he will be angry." Su Che said with a smile.
"Etiquette should be in the heart, not in the form!" Qing Ji said with curled lips.
"That's the truth." Su Che's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded with a smile: "But some people don't understand this truth, and they will criticize your actions formally and criticize your actions."
"Then what should we do?" Qingji asked.
"Then tell them to shut up!" Su Che said.
"Okay! I'll make them shut up in the future!!" Qingji nodded vigorously, as if if they didn't shut up, then let them shut up physically.
Su Che smiled and said:
"Always stick to the formal etiquette, but don't really pay attention to the connotation. No matter how good the etiquette is, it is just a beast in clothes."
"It's like some poor people, who are obviously destitute. After their parents die, they have to borrow money from everywhere and hold a funeral for burial. Otherwise, they will be stabbed in the back and called unfilial behavior. What is the reason for this?" Woolen cloth?"
"What is the necessary connection between the size of the funeral and filial piety?"
"Some people don't serve their parents very well during their lifetime, and have to wait until after their parents die, and then cry bitterly and hold a big funeral to show their filial piety-who is this for?"
Young Master Qingji listened to Su Che's teaching and nodded seriously. Su Che's idea was very to his liking.
Subsequently.
Su Che took advantage of the opportunity to teach young master Qingji a lesson.
Qingji then discovered that the principles taught by this teacher were basically the principles that directly pointed to the essence of things. His eyes seemed to be able to see through all the pretense in the world and see the truth behind everything.
This shocked Qingji very much, and he couldn't help but study hard.
And Su Che didn't hold anything back when dealing with Qingji as a disciple, and how much he could learn would depend on his ability and understanding.
In the original history, after Prince Guang sent Zhuan Zhu to assassinate King Liao of Wu, he succeeded King Wu and called King Helu of Wu. Because he was afraid of Prince Qingji, who was exceptionally brave, he sent another assassin to assassinate Qingji.
This assassin is Yao Li, one of the four great assassins of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period.
Legend has it that Na Yaoli was born thin and small, only five feet tall, with a tight waist, ugly appearance, but extraordinary intelligence and bravery, he is a well-known fencing expert in the local area.
Yao Lixian used a bitter plan to get King Helu of Wu to kill his wife, and then defected to Qingji for this reason.
Qingji believed that Yaoli was killed by King Helu of Wu, so he did not suspect him, and accepted Yaoli's surrender, and let Yaoli be the leader of the party to march into Wu by water.
However, on the way, taking advantage of the strong wind on the river, Yaoli suddenly drew his sword and stabbed Qingji, the sword pierced directly into his heart and out of his back.
But Qingji didn't die, he wanted to leave upside down, drowned him in the water three times, and then laughed with him: "There are really brave men in the world who dare to assassinate me!"
The guards on the left and right wanted to kill Yao Li immediately, but Qingji waved his hands to stop him: "This is a rare warrior in the world, one warrior is already about to die today, how can another one die?"
"Let him go back to the country, let him be fulfilled!"
Then Qingji ordered his subordinates to let Yaoli who killed him go and let him return to Wu.
After ordering Qingji, he fell to the ground and died.
When Yaoli returned to the country, he met the king of Wu.
Helu, the King of Wu, wanted to leave the Golden Palace, and he refused to accept it. He said, "I killed my wife in order to serve the lord. This is inhumane. I killed the son of the old lord for the sake of the new lord. This is unrighteous!" "
"Such inhumane and unrighteous actions are not for the sake of being an official, but for the peace of Wu, so that the people will not be harmed by the flames of war."
"Now that I've done it...But what qualifications do I have for a benevolent person like me to receive a reward? Why is there any need to live?"
After all, he killed himself directly.
It's also very funny to say, two of the four great assassins in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States came to kill the father and son of King Liao of Wu, which is considered unlucky to a certain extent.
But this time, with the appearance of Su Che, the sad father and son did not die, but secured the position of King Wu.
time flies.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day to send troops.
this day.
All the soldiers of Wu State's army that was about to go to war were lined up in square formations on the martial arts arena. The flags were like a forest. At a glance, they were densely packed and there was no end in sight.
All the soldiers stood meticulously, their eyes fixed on the front.
Directly ahead, on the high platform of the Martial Arts Field, on the left and right sides, inside the two big cauldrons, flames were burning fiercely.
King Liao of Wu stood in the middle wearing the clothes of King Wu, Su Che stood on his left, Sun Wu stood on his right, and the officials stood behind and on both sides.
With the release of the policy of the [-]th-class military merit system, the fighting spirit of the soldiers at the bottom of Wu State can hardly be suppressed. All soldiers are looking forward to the day when the war will start. They look forward to making contributions on the battlefield and getting rid of their original class and identity. .
The morale of the army has never been more cohesive. When everyone in an army is not afraid of death, this army will be extraordinarily terrifying.
After seeing this scene, the expressions of the old nobles of the Wu Kingdom and those high-ranking high officials in the past changed drastically.
Since Su Che's reform, they have been out of favor, gradually relegated to the second line, lost their previous influence, and become old things of a backward era.
They are naturally not reconciled to this, and they also want to see what Wu Guo will become after this damn reform in the hands of this guy...
Then, today, they saw it.
Standing on this high platform, looking over at a glance, I saw that every soldier was wearing armor and holding a long dagger, standing neatly in a square formation, with no head in sight, and at the same time, everyone's eyes were completely different. The eyes of more than a hundred thousand people gathered on the high platform, and these eyes seemed to have weight, which made these doctors feel that their bodies were much heavier.
Such an army, whether people understand the army or not, the first thought when they see it is - this is a strong army!A rare and powerful army in the world!
When did Wu Guozhi's army become so strong?This is too exaggerated!
These gentlemen were all shocked!
On the high platform, King Liao of Wu looked at his army with unprecedented arrogance in his chest, and he loudly uttered the pre-war mobilization statement this time.
"Since the birth of Yuan Qi, people were born at the beginning of Jue, the emperor of the tree, and he was regarded as the minister. After Xi, Nong, Xuan, and Xu, the kings of Yao, Shun, Yu, and Tang..."
Wu Wangliao spoke loudly, and the effect was quite good. All the soldiers waved their spears with dignity and made the same voice.
However, Su Che saw the perfunctory behavior of these soldiers. Most of them came from the lower levels. They couldn't listen to such empty words and polite pre-war proclamations. Most of them even couldn't understand what their King Wu was saying. .
Soon, after Wu Wangliao finished speaking, he handed over the sword representing military power to Su Che, which meant that he would be outside, and the king's order would not be accepted.
Su Che took the sword of power, thanked King Liao Wu, and turned to look at all the soldiers.
He only heard him say loudly: "A man lives in the world, how can he live in depression for a long time!"
"Going to conquer Chu now is a great opportunity to make contributions!"
"The Kingdom of Wu will surely win!!!"
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers instantly erupted, and more than a hundred thousand people shouted in unison, "Wu will surely win!"
"Wu will surely win!"
"Wu will surely win!"
Different from Wu Wangliao's pre-war proclamation just now, Su Che's words were very simple. With just three sentences, they aroused the impulse and desire deep in everyone's hearts. discoloration.
Beside Su Che, Young Master Qingji looked at this scene, his face flushed with excitement, he raised the Longquan sword Su Che gave him, and shouted together with the soldiers below: "Wu Kingdom will surely win!!!"
……
Under Su Che's suggestion, Wu's 10,000+ army was divided into four.
Some troops were led by Su Che, some were led by Wu Zixu, and some were led by Sun Wu. The three armies attacked Chu State together from three directions, making them exhausted and difficult to deal with.
The most part will stay in Wu country to deal with possible attacks from other countries.
For example, the Yue Kingdom in the south has been eyeing the land of Wu.
They have been secretly accumulating strength.
Goujian, the new king of Junyue, has been fighting hard and may attack Wu at any time.
If the whole army of the state of Wu attacked the state of Chu with all its strength, Gou Jian, king of Yue, would definitely take the opportunity to attack the state of Wu and benefit from it.
Although the hatred between Wu and Yue is not as far-reaching as the hatred between Wu and Chu, the two countries are close to each other. When one side gradually rises and becomes stronger quickly, there will be a battle between the two sides!
King Goujian of Yue knew this clearly, and they had already made a gesture of attacking Wu at any time.
So this is really unavoidable.
speak up.
The grievances between Wu and Yue are really classics.
Everyone knows the story of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, who lived hard and tasted courage.
In fact, long before that, King Helu of Wu died on the way to conquer Yue.
In the history of Su Che's previous life.
The Wu and Yue armies fought.
Gou Jian, king of Yue, saw that the Wu army was in order and it was not easy to break through, so he found three people who had committed capital crimes and killed themselves in front of the two armies.
When the soldiers of Wu State were surprised by this scene, before they had time to recover, the Vietnamese army launched a sudden attack and defeated the Wu army.
King Helu of Wu was also wounded in the battle and died in Xingdi, seven miles away from Tenon Li.
After Helu's son Fuchai succeeded to the throne, he specially sent a person to stand at the gate of the palace. When Fuchai went out, he asked Fucha loudly: "Fuchai, king of Wu, have you forgotten that Goujian, king of Yue, killed your father?"
Fu Chai replied, "I dare not forget."
He used this method to motivate himself, work hard, and reorganize the government.
On the other hand, Goujian, the king of Yue, was complacent because of his victory in the battle, and he swelled up directly. He looked down on the state of Wu at all, and prepared to send troops to attack the state of Wu.
At this time, Fan Li, Goujian's courtier, no matter how much he persuaded Goujian, it was useless.
In the end, he was really defeated, and Goujian was surrounded by the Wu army.
Under Fan Li's suggestion, Gou Jian bowed his knees and begged for peace, willing to serve as Fu Chai's servant, let his queen serve as Fu Chai's slave, and dedicated the whole country to Wu.
Fu Chai believed that as long as he accepted Goujian's surrender, he would be able to reap the entire country of Yue without a single soldier, so he agreed to surrender.
Then there is the story of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, who lived hard and tasted courage.
After Gou Jian tried his best to get revenge, he didn't kill Fu Chai and let him be an ordinary person.
Ke Fucha couldn't bear such humiliation, so he committed suicide directly.
In this world, Su Che, Fan Li, did not go to Yue country, but came to Wu country to revitalize the already powerful Wu country.
Although Wu Guo has been here for such a long time, he has not done anything to Yue Guo.
But the poor King Goujian of Yue saw with his own eyes that the state of Wu was becoming stronger and stronger through reforms, while his own side was developing slowly, so he was naturally very anxious.
Su Che was not in a hurry to attack the Yue Kingdom, but kept his troops on guard. If Gou Jian really dared to attack, he would be defeated, and would be eaten alive by the Wu soldiers who were eager for military exploits and heads...
soon.
Wu's three-way army set off and marched into Chu.
Beside Su Che, young master Qingji acted as his driver and drove the chariot for him. Su Che squinted his eyes on the bamboo slips in the chariot, thinking about the problem.
Seeing Su Che pondering, Qingji asked curiously, "What book are you reading? So engrossed?"
"A book about Chu Di." Su Che said slowly.
"Chu Di's book?" Qingji was a little strange, and asked curiously, "Why do you read this kind of book?"
"Study how to govern Chu." Su Che said.
Hearing this, Qingji was dumbfounded: "Ah? Our army has just set off, and you have already started to study how to govern Chu? Isn't it too early?"
"Early?" Su Che said with a smile after hearing this, "Of course it's not early. It's easy for us to conquer Chu, but it's not easy to manage Chu well."
"If you just conquer Chu and rob supplies and people, but you can't achieve long-term stability, this war will be meaningless."
"I will never fight a meaningless war."
"If you're going to be a wise king, you have to take the long view."
"What we have to do is to help the world, not to be brave and ruthless, not to rob and plunder. In that case, what is the difference from bandits?"
After hearing this, Young Master Qingji exclaimed in surprise, "Kuang Futian?"
"Otherwise?" Su Che asked back, "Haven't you thought about this?"
"This... I really haven't thought about it." Qingji said with some shame.
"In this world, hundreds of years of war have almost destroyed the mountains, rivers and land. Countless people have been displaced by the war, and the princes and kings continue to launch various wars because of their own desires." Su Che glanced at the distance, and calmed down. Said slowly:
"This chaotic world, if we don't take action to prevent it, will continue for many years."
"The war that has lasted so long, the war that has been fought for so many years, it is time to end..."
"Since there is no one to stop it, then it's up to me to end this."
After hearing this, Young Master Qingji's eyes widened.
He used to have many unconstrained ideas, and he felt that his own ideas were unrealistic, but compared with his master's ideas, how obvious is the gap?
He suddenly felt that he was so narrow-minded and short-sighted.
Help the world.
Qingji carefully kept these four words in his heart.
After a while, he said without looking back: "Master, if you can't finish it, then let me finish it. If I can't finish it, then let my son and grandson continue to finish it."
"One day, this world, this chaotic world, will be ended by us!"
As the son of King Wu, Qing Ji is a very bold guy, otherwise Su Che would not accept him as his apprentice.
What he said was domineering, in line with his identity.
……
As Wu's army continued to march, Chu's side inevitably received news, and they began to organize troops to resist Wu's army.
soon.
The two armies faced each other head-on. Su Che stood up and looked at the opposite army, feeling very happy.
After the army marched, Su Che did not hide the target of the Wu army's attack, just to give the Chu army time to assemble and prepare.
What he wants is an upright war, an upright victory!
If it is a despicable means, through raids, plots, tricks, to obtain the final victory, even if it can easily win, Su Che is not willing to do it.
This is not for any "propriety", but to subdue the opponent Chu State through a frontal war, so that the opponent has no excuses or reasons to prevaricate his failure!
This is a royal battle.
Su Che drew out the sword in his hand, and shouted loudly: "The whole army, charge with me!!"
Young Master Qingji immediately whipped the horses and started a crazy charge. All the chariots moved in the front row.
In this row of chariots, everyone pointed their crossbows at the sky and fired salvos one after another.
Arrows flew in the direction of the Chu army densely like rain.
Although the Chu army carried shields and tried their best to resist the rain of arrows, many people were still directly shot and turned into hedgehogs.
The two armies fired in volley, Wu's strong bow and crossbow were obviously superior, while Chu's army's arrows were far inferior. The arrow fell from the sky, like a bird, pecked lightly, and Su Che couldn't feel it at all. less than pain.
He was wearing heavy armor, which blocked the arrows to a large extent. At this moment, the chariot was in the lead, and the chariot had rushed into the formation of the Chu army. He did not hold the sword again. This thing is not practical in war at all. Not as good as polearms.
Su Che's weapon is a spear, a Zhangba spear.
Weapons in this era are always one inch long and one inch strong. Su Che's seven-meter-long spear is rarely picked up with one hand, but at this moment he played it very neatly.
As he continued to thrust out, like piercing mutton skewers, he directly pierced more than a dozen people on the spear, and then with a flick of Su Che, these dozens of people were thrown into the crowd of the Chu army, and they were knocked down in an instant took a slice.
Seeing this scene, Qing Ji's eyes widened immediately. He boasted that he was born with supernatural powers and extraordinary bravery, but compared with Su Che's operation, it was still much worse. This is too fierce! !
When the people of the Chu army saw Su Che who was like a god descending from the earth, they immediately peed in fright.
With the Wu army's attack, the Chu army only lost less than [-]% of its people, and it was difficult to maintain the formation.
The soldiers of the Chu army were terrified. They felt that those Wu soldiers were like evil spirits. They were not afraid of death at all. The eyes they looked at their heads one by one were extremely terrifying. The only goal they rushed over was to cut off their heads. ! !
The soldiers of the Chu army have never encountered such a strong army, and have never encountered such terrifying soldiers!
this battle.
Wu Jun won easily, beheading over five thousand and taking nineteen thousand prisoners!
It can be described as a complete victory!
at the same time.
On Wu Zixu's and Sun Wu's side, the two armies also won crisp and clear victories.
Afterwards, Wu Jun pushed all the way horizontally, winning consecutive battles.
Su Che's journey was the most exaggerated. He created a terrifying record of winning three consecutive cities in one day.
In just No. 14 days, Wu Jun hit Yingdu, the capital of Chu State.
No. On the 19th day, the entire territory of Chu State was captured by Wu Jun.
Chu State, a powerful vassal state that once dominated the world, was completely taken down by Wu State in less than a month.
All of a sudden, the world was terrified!
(End of this chapter)
this day.
Wu Wangliao brought his son Qingji to look for Su Che.
Qingji was the eldest son of King Liao of Wu. He was born with supernatural power and extraordinary bravery. He was known as the number one warrior of Wu before he was a teenager.
In order to practice riding and archery, he often went hunting, stepped across mountains and canyons, walked through waterfalls and streams, smashed bears and tigers, and fought leopards.
He once fought a rhinoceros and captured it for life. Because of his bravery, he has become a model for many young hunters. Even many hunters and wrestlers from neighboring countries are willing to take refuge in his disciples.
Such a fierce man, Wu Wangliao was very worried that he would become a reckless man who ruined Wu's hegemony, so he specially brought him here, and wanted him to follow Su Che's side, to see more and learn more , Keep your mind long, don't just think about hunting all day long.
Qing Ji still respected Su Che very much, and saluted Su Che respectfully, because he had heard about Su Che's achievements, when he was attacking Doctor Qing, Su Che always took the lead, rushed to the first place, beheaded countless people, One-handed swordsmanship that can pass through the gods, killing people without blood!
Qingji is looking forward to Su Che's ability to teach him this magical swordsmanship...
"Although he is brave, he has no strategy. He has to do everything as soon as his head is hot. He doesn't think about it at all. I am very worried about his future, so I ask Dazai to teach me. I hope Dazai can accept it. This ineffective disciple." Wu Wangliao said seriously.
"Personal bravery, no matter how powerful it is, can't achieve great things. If Qingji can be by your side, learn half of your strategy, and no longer blindly only know how to be brave and ruthless, then I can rest assured."
Hearing Wu Wangliao's words, Su Che nodded and said, "Then hand him over to me, and I will teach him. Don't worry, Your Majesty."
As soon as these words came out, Wu Wangliao couldn't help showing a smile, and he patted Qingji on the head.
Qingji hurriedly gave out the gift he had prepared. This is "Shuxiu", a greeting gift from students to teachers, and a basic etiquette in this era.
Qingji showed a flattering smile and said, "Teacher, these are all wild animals I hunted. There are bison, deer, bears, tigers, small gifts, please accept them."
Su Che took the bunch of repairs, and glanced at the many animal meats in the basket. Many of the animal meats were rich in aura, not extraordinary meat.
Su Che nodded, took out a sword, and gave it to Young Master Qingji as a gift in return.
Qingji was delighted when he got the sword, and he pulled it out quickly, only to see a cold light flashing on the sword body, the blade was so sharp that it would break when blowing hairs, this is a rare sword!
Having obtained such a precious treasure, Qingji was overjoyed immediately: "Thank you, Teacher, for giving me the sword! Does this sword have a name?"
Su Che smiled and said, "This sword is made by chiseling Mount Ci, venting its stream, and taking Tie Ying. After repeated forging, it is finally cast into a precious sword. The sword is named Longquan."
"Longquan sword?" Qingji couldn't help sighing, "What a good name, what a good sword!"
Su Che smiled and asked, "Do you know about swords?"
"Naturally, I am very proficient in how to use a sword, and I know how to judge a sword's quality!" Qing Ji nodded and said.
"Then let me test you. Do you know what is the essential difference between this sword and other swords?" Su Che asked.
"This sword is a precious sword, and the other swords are very ordinary. Is this the difference?" Qing Ji was stunned for a moment, and said subconsciously.
"No, I'm asking about the essential difference." Su Che shook his head.
"This... students really don't know, is there any difference?" Qingji asked.
"The difference is that this sword is made by Tie Ying, and its material is different from the bronze sword. This is the essential difference." Su Che said slowly.
"The material is different?" Qing Ji's eyes widened: "Is this the reason why this sword is so sharp?"
"Yes." Su Che nodded.
"The key to bronze swords is how much tin is added to the copper during smelting. If there is less tin, the sword will be too soft; if there is too much tin, the sword will be too hard, but it will break easily. Therefore, most bronze swords are made of bronze with higher tin content. , use bronze with a low tin content to make the sword spine, so as to make a sword with a hard blade and a flexible spine."
"The development track of bronze swords is that they are getting longer and longer. At first, the bronze swords were very short, no more than ten inches. Now there are twenty-inch swords. This is the progress of smelting technology. One inch is long and one inch is stronger. As the craftsmanship continues to improve, the sword will continue to grow longer, and it may become a thirty-inch sword in the future..."
"But the problem is that the bronze sword will eventually have a limit because of its material."
"But if you switch to a sword made of steel, not only its hardness, but also its flexibility are far superior to bronze swords."
"Swords and long knives made of steel can not only take into account the length, but also take into account all aspects of performance."
"This is the power of innovation, of change."
"Old things are not necessarily good. The experience summed up in the past is undeniably useful, but if you always follow the advice of the predecessors, then you will never be able to walk out of your own path."
"It has always been like this, and will eventually be abandoned by the times..."
Hearing these words, Qing Ji couldn't help but widen his eyes, and nodded in a ignorant way: "I understand, teacher."
"What do you understand?" Su Che was a little curious.
"Focus on innovation." Qingji nodded.
Su Che was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly: "You are right when you say that, and you can also understand it that way..."
Wu Wangliao was listening to the conversation between the master and the apprentice. At first, he was a little worried that Qingji would not obey the discipline, would not listen to the teacher, and would piss the teacher off. This kind of thing happened often before, but now, he can finally stop worrying so much. up.
When Wu Wangliao was about to leave, Su Che asked him to wait.
Su Che turned around and took out a roll of bamboo slips, and handed it to Wu Wangliao.
"The state of Wu is about to send troops to conquer the state of Chu. This battle is bound to be a complete victory, but there is also a slight possibility of losing the war. After all, the mourning army must win."
"In order to completely eliminate this situation, this brand-new military merit system will make our Wu army a powerful army that can sweep the entire world!"
"A brand new military merit system?" Hearing this, King Wu quickly took the bamboo slips from Su Che's hands, spread them out, and read them seriously.
Just looking at it, his eyes widened.
"This this!"
Wu Wangliao looked at the content on the bamboo slips and was stunned.
Young Master Qingji at the side also came over to take a look.
What is written on this bamboo slip is the [-]th class military merit system. This is the version of the military merit system in the Wu region compiled by Su Che imitating the [-]th class military merit system in the Qin and Han Dynasties.
The original twentieth-class military merits are like this: first-class public officer, second-ranked, third-ranked, fourth-not-changed, fifth-ranked official, sixth-official official, seventh-ranked official, eighth-ranked official, ninth-fifth official, and tenth left-bearer , the eleventh is the head of the right, the twelve is the left, the thirteenth is the middle, the fourteenth is the right, the fifteenth is the top, the sixteenth is the top, the seventeenth is the head, the eighteenth is the head, and the nineteen is inside. Hou, twenty Chehou.
After being transformed by Su Che, only some names were changed, but the overall situation is still not bad.
In this set of military merit system.
As long as you kill an enemy "Jiashi", which is usually an elite forward in the army, you can get the first-level duke duke, and at the same time get Tian Yiqing, Zhai Yiyi and a servant.
In other words, as long as you kill a striker, an ordinary soldier, you can reach the peak of your life.
One hectare of land is [-] mu of land, even if it is to go to the field, it is beyond the imagination of ordinary farmers.
Being rich, having titles, and being able to inherit them are the core of the military merit system.
Under the so-called heavy reward, there must be a brave man. Under this brand new military merit system, it is conceivable that those soldiers will rush towards the enemy as if they have gone crazy, bursting out with unprecedented combat power!
And the title of this gentleman is only the lowest level among the twenty titles. As long as the more heads are beheaded, the more military merits will be obtained, and the title will be promoted higher.
Under such a reward system, Wu's army will become the most ferocious army in the world...
In Su Che's previous life.
The history book "Warring States Policy Han Ce [-]" has records: The soldiers of Shandong were armed with armor to fight, and the Qin people donated armor and armor to chase the enemy.
It means that soldiers east of Xiaoshan must wear armor and helmets to fight.
But the soldiers of the Qin State took off all these, and some even went into battle shirtless. The Qin army held the head in the left hand and the prisoner in the right hand on the battlefield, and rushed forward desperately.
This gave Qin Jun a frightening title: Master of Tiger and Wolf!
Isn't Qin Jun afraid of death?
Of course not.
This is the power of the [-]th class military merit system.
Driven by desire, every soldier who dreams of fighting for a fight and turning his bicycle into a motorcycle will explode with unimaginable fighting ability.
In the final analysis, this is the people at the bottom, the vast majority of ordinary people, the only way to achieve class transition is the only way for them, the lower classes of society, to rise up, which is naturally going to be crazy.
Wu Wangliao looked at it for a while, was silent for a while, and said hesitantly, "Is there something wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Su Che asked with a smile.
"There are too many rewards. If wars are constantly launched, how can the country have so many lands and servants to distribute to them?" Wu Wangliao frowned and said slowly:
"And there are too many rewards, it is easy to drive the soldiers completely crazy, and it is inevitable to kill the good and pretend to be meritorious - the innocent people at the bottom will also be regarded as military merit by them."
It has to be said that Wu Wangliao still has some foresight and foresight. He can see the shortcomings of this military merit system at a glance. The land and property in this country are so small. If they continue to be distributed, it is easy to appear unsealable. Condition.
At the same time, the situation of killing the good and taking the credit will inevitably appear.
This situation, even in the Ming Dynasty a few years later, still cannot be resolved.
Even though the imperial court expressly prohibits the army from killing good men and taking meritorious service, more and more civilians were killed.
The act of killing the good and pretending to be meritorious is extremely cruel, killing innocent people and causing the army to lose the support of the people.
The second is to trigger the atmosphere of deception and fraud in the army.
Part of the rise of the Jurchen was related to the Ming army's murder of good deeds.
Human greed is endless.
Su Che smiled and said: "This is the problem of every system. Flaws and advantages always coexist. It is impossible for a system to be without flaws. It only has advantages. Where there are flaws, you only need to know the flaws and try your best to solve them." It is enough to avoid this defect.”
"As for your concern, I have naturally thought about it. Although these rewards look very attractive, it is not that simple to achieve them."
"First of all, the premise of conferring military merit is that you must win a battle. If you lose a battle, you are not eligible to be conferred a knight. No matter how many enemies you kill, it is useless."
"Secondly, there are a series of regulations. If you don't complete them, you won't be able to obtain the title...For example, an elite team of 18 must behead five people before they are eligible to be awarded the title."
"And a war also requires beheading. For example, in a siege battle, you must kill [-] enemies before you can be awarded a title. For example, you can only be awarded a title if you kill [-] enemies in a field battle. This is called a rigid target!"
"Of course, as soon as this hard indicator is released, there will definitely be a situation where people are used for their own use. In this case, it is necessary to arrange patrol officers to avoid such situations as much as possible..."
"In addition, although the rewarded land is owned by the soldiers, it is not owned by the soldiers in essence, but owned by the state. As long as it is cultivated or leased, it needs to pay [-]% to the state as a tax. Its attributes cannot be traded and can only be kept forever. Yes, unless you give up this piece of land."
"After the soldiers die, these lands can be inherited by their sons, and the state will not take them back. Their lands will be retired with the state."
Under Su Che's introduction, this system can be said to be gradually perfected.
In Shang Yang's reform, the rewarded land will be taken back after the death of the non-commissioned officer.
This undoubtedly directly offended the new Xungui Group to death. His original reform offended the old noble group to death, and now he offended the new Xungui Group. Not wronged.
This guy simply does not leave any room for retreat. Except for the emperor, it is reasonable and reasonable to offend all vested interest groups and become a fifth-level Shang Yang.
But Su Che is not so desperate, he understands a truth, called, sustainable depletion of fish.
Isn't it stupid to cut leeks and uproot them?
Leek needs to be harvested crop by crop. Soldiers want to leave the land to future generations, so let them leave it to future generations. Anyway, they can receive food or money.
Wu Wangliao listened carefully to Su Che's explanation, and couldn't help sighing, "Mister is resourceful."
Qingji, who was at the side, was shocked when he heard these words and the reward system of this ring, he never thought that he could play like this!
"With Dazai Gong's [-]th-class military merit system, this battle is bound to be a complete victory!" Wu Wangliao sighed.
"What we want is not a complete victory." Su Che slowly shook his head and said, "What we want is to annex Chu and become the largest country in the world. This is the first step in the rise of our Wu Kingdom... ... Tunchu!"
Wu Wangliao heard the words, the tiger's body shook, and he said excitedly: "It should be so! It should be so!"
Since the reform of the Wu State, the country has become rich and the people are strong. It has been so long that it has been preparing for such a long time. It is like an arrow on the full bowstring, which is about to be launched...
And now, at this moment, it's finally time to launch, how can this not be expected?
Wu Wangliao was very excited, thinking that he could sit on the overlord's position, he was very excited.
Young Master Qingji on the side also said excitedly: "I want to follow the army too, and I want to make contributions too!!"
Wu Wangliao glanced at him, and reprimanded with some dissatisfaction: "Nonsense! How can you go to the front line to fight, the majestic prince of Wu!"
"Father, as the prince of Wu, I have no military strength. I only know how to hunt. People who don't know think I'm just a hunter. I don't want to be said so. I want to follow the army to conquer Chu. I also want to make contributions, and I want to make a name for myself!!" Young Master Qingji said stubbornly.
Wu Wangliao glanced at Su Che helplessly.
But Su Che said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be so worried. Since Young Master Qingji has such an idea, it's naturally good. A monarch who can't fight, what kind of wise monarch is he?"
Since he is a king, he must have abundant martial virtues!
"Then trouble sir." Wu Wangliao could only say so, and then left with the bamboo slips, throwing Young Master Qingji to Su Che.
Wu Wangliao came out of Dazai's mansion, the wind was a bit cold, he shrunk his clothes, looked up at the drowsy sky.
"The storm is coming..."
"It's the same in this world."
……
inside the mansion.
Su Che looked at Young Master Qingji.
Young Master Qingji has a hulking back and a hulking waist. He is tall and burly when he was only a teenager. At this moment, he is sitting obediently on the cushion, waiting for Su Che to speak.
"You don't have to be so cautious, there is no one else around now." Su Che said with a smile, and threw a stool over.
This is the Hu stool. In this era, most people are sitting on the ground while still sitting upright. After a long time, it can be described as very uncomfortable.
When Qingji saw this stool, his eyes widened immediately: "...a barbarian's stool?"
"Yes." Su Che nodded, and sat directly on a small recliner.
"I don't have such things at home. My father hates them very much. I bought them once before, but he threw them away the next day and got mad at me. It's obviously very useful." Qingji complained. , sat down on the stool, and immediately felt much more comfortable.
"Haha, the king wants to teach you etiquette, but you take these things back, of course he will be angry." Su Che said with a smile.
"Etiquette should be in the heart, not in the form!" Qing Ji said with curled lips.
"That's the truth." Su Che's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded with a smile: "But some people don't understand this truth, and they will criticize your actions formally and criticize your actions."
"Then what should we do?" Qingji asked.
"Then tell them to shut up!" Su Che said.
"Okay! I'll make them shut up in the future!!" Qingji nodded vigorously, as if if they didn't shut up, then let them shut up physically.
Su Che smiled and said:
"Always stick to the formal etiquette, but don't really pay attention to the connotation. No matter how good the etiquette is, it is just a beast in clothes."
"It's like some poor people, who are obviously destitute. After their parents die, they have to borrow money from everywhere and hold a funeral for burial. Otherwise, they will be stabbed in the back and called unfilial behavior. What is the reason for this?" Woolen cloth?"
"What is the necessary connection between the size of the funeral and filial piety?"
"Some people don't serve their parents very well during their lifetime, and have to wait until after their parents die, and then cry bitterly and hold a big funeral to show their filial piety-who is this for?"
Young Master Qingji listened to Su Che's teaching and nodded seriously. Su Che's idea was very to his liking.
Subsequently.
Su Che took advantage of the opportunity to teach young master Qingji a lesson.
Qingji then discovered that the principles taught by this teacher were basically the principles that directly pointed to the essence of things. His eyes seemed to be able to see through all the pretense in the world and see the truth behind everything.
This shocked Qingji very much, and he couldn't help but study hard.
And Su Che didn't hold anything back when dealing with Qingji as a disciple, and how much he could learn would depend on his ability and understanding.
In the original history, after Prince Guang sent Zhuan Zhu to assassinate King Liao of Wu, he succeeded King Wu and called King Helu of Wu. Because he was afraid of Prince Qingji, who was exceptionally brave, he sent another assassin to assassinate Qingji.
This assassin is Yao Li, one of the four great assassins of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period.
Legend has it that Na Yaoli was born thin and small, only five feet tall, with a tight waist, ugly appearance, but extraordinary intelligence and bravery, he is a well-known fencing expert in the local area.
Yao Lixian used a bitter plan to get King Helu of Wu to kill his wife, and then defected to Qingji for this reason.
Qingji believed that Yaoli was killed by King Helu of Wu, so he did not suspect him, and accepted Yaoli's surrender, and let Yaoli be the leader of the party to march into Wu by water.
However, on the way, taking advantage of the strong wind on the river, Yaoli suddenly drew his sword and stabbed Qingji, the sword pierced directly into his heart and out of his back.
But Qingji didn't die, he wanted to leave upside down, drowned him in the water three times, and then laughed with him: "There are really brave men in the world who dare to assassinate me!"
The guards on the left and right wanted to kill Yao Li immediately, but Qingji waved his hands to stop him: "This is a rare warrior in the world, one warrior is already about to die today, how can another one die?"
"Let him go back to the country, let him be fulfilled!"
Then Qingji ordered his subordinates to let Yaoli who killed him go and let him return to Wu.
After ordering Qingji, he fell to the ground and died.
When Yaoli returned to the country, he met the king of Wu.
Helu, the King of Wu, wanted to leave the Golden Palace, and he refused to accept it. He said, "I killed my wife in order to serve the lord. This is inhumane. I killed the son of the old lord for the sake of the new lord. This is unrighteous!" "
"Such inhumane and unrighteous actions are not for the sake of being an official, but for the peace of Wu, so that the people will not be harmed by the flames of war."
"Now that I've done it...But what qualifications do I have for a benevolent person like me to receive a reward? Why is there any need to live?"
After all, he killed himself directly.
It's also very funny to say, two of the four great assassins in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States came to kill the father and son of King Liao of Wu, which is considered unlucky to a certain extent.
But this time, with the appearance of Su Che, the sad father and son did not die, but secured the position of King Wu.
time flies.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day to send troops.
this day.
All the soldiers of Wu State's army that was about to go to war were lined up in square formations on the martial arts arena. The flags were like a forest. At a glance, they were densely packed and there was no end in sight.
All the soldiers stood meticulously, their eyes fixed on the front.
Directly ahead, on the high platform of the Martial Arts Field, on the left and right sides, inside the two big cauldrons, flames were burning fiercely.
King Liao of Wu stood in the middle wearing the clothes of King Wu, Su Che stood on his left, Sun Wu stood on his right, and the officials stood behind and on both sides.
With the release of the policy of the [-]th-class military merit system, the fighting spirit of the soldiers at the bottom of Wu State can hardly be suppressed. All soldiers are looking forward to the day when the war will start. They look forward to making contributions on the battlefield and getting rid of their original class and identity. .
The morale of the army has never been more cohesive. When everyone in an army is not afraid of death, this army will be extraordinarily terrifying.
After seeing this scene, the expressions of the old nobles of the Wu Kingdom and those high-ranking high officials in the past changed drastically.
Since Su Che's reform, they have been out of favor, gradually relegated to the second line, lost their previous influence, and become old things of a backward era.
They are naturally not reconciled to this, and they also want to see what Wu Guo will become after this damn reform in the hands of this guy...
Then, today, they saw it.
Standing on this high platform, looking over at a glance, I saw that every soldier was wearing armor and holding a long dagger, standing neatly in a square formation, with no head in sight, and at the same time, everyone's eyes were completely different. The eyes of more than a hundred thousand people gathered on the high platform, and these eyes seemed to have weight, which made these doctors feel that their bodies were much heavier.
Such an army, whether people understand the army or not, the first thought when they see it is - this is a strong army!A rare and powerful army in the world!
When did Wu Guozhi's army become so strong?This is too exaggerated!
These gentlemen were all shocked!
On the high platform, King Liao of Wu looked at his army with unprecedented arrogance in his chest, and he loudly uttered the pre-war mobilization statement this time.
"Since the birth of Yuan Qi, people were born at the beginning of Jue, the emperor of the tree, and he was regarded as the minister. After Xi, Nong, Xuan, and Xu, the kings of Yao, Shun, Yu, and Tang..."
Wu Wangliao spoke loudly, and the effect was quite good. All the soldiers waved their spears with dignity and made the same voice.
However, Su Che saw the perfunctory behavior of these soldiers. Most of them came from the lower levels. They couldn't listen to such empty words and polite pre-war proclamations. Most of them even couldn't understand what their King Wu was saying. .
Soon, after Wu Wangliao finished speaking, he handed over the sword representing military power to Su Che, which meant that he would be outside, and the king's order would not be accepted.
Su Che took the sword of power, thanked King Liao Wu, and turned to look at all the soldiers.
He only heard him say loudly: "A man lives in the world, how can he live in depression for a long time!"
"Going to conquer Chu now is a great opportunity to make contributions!"
"The Kingdom of Wu will surely win!!!"
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers instantly erupted, and more than a hundred thousand people shouted in unison, "Wu will surely win!"
"Wu will surely win!"
"Wu will surely win!"
Different from Wu Wangliao's pre-war proclamation just now, Su Che's words were very simple. With just three sentences, they aroused the impulse and desire deep in everyone's hearts. discoloration.
Beside Su Che, Young Master Qingji looked at this scene, his face flushed with excitement, he raised the Longquan sword Su Che gave him, and shouted together with the soldiers below: "Wu Kingdom will surely win!!!"
……
Under Su Che's suggestion, Wu's 10,000+ army was divided into four.
Some troops were led by Su Che, some were led by Wu Zixu, and some were led by Sun Wu. The three armies attacked Chu State together from three directions, making them exhausted and difficult to deal with.
The most part will stay in Wu country to deal with possible attacks from other countries.
For example, the Yue Kingdom in the south has been eyeing the land of Wu.
They have been secretly accumulating strength.
Goujian, the new king of Junyue, has been fighting hard and may attack Wu at any time.
If the whole army of the state of Wu attacked the state of Chu with all its strength, Gou Jian, king of Yue, would definitely take the opportunity to attack the state of Wu and benefit from it.
Although the hatred between Wu and Yue is not as far-reaching as the hatred between Wu and Chu, the two countries are close to each other. When one side gradually rises and becomes stronger quickly, there will be a battle between the two sides!
King Goujian of Yue knew this clearly, and they had already made a gesture of attacking Wu at any time.
So this is really unavoidable.
speak up.
The grievances between Wu and Yue are really classics.
Everyone knows the story of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, who lived hard and tasted courage.
In fact, long before that, King Helu of Wu died on the way to conquer Yue.
In the history of Su Che's previous life.
The Wu and Yue armies fought.
Gou Jian, king of Yue, saw that the Wu army was in order and it was not easy to break through, so he found three people who had committed capital crimes and killed themselves in front of the two armies.
When the soldiers of Wu State were surprised by this scene, before they had time to recover, the Vietnamese army launched a sudden attack and defeated the Wu army.
King Helu of Wu was also wounded in the battle and died in Xingdi, seven miles away from Tenon Li.
After Helu's son Fuchai succeeded to the throne, he specially sent a person to stand at the gate of the palace. When Fuchai went out, he asked Fucha loudly: "Fuchai, king of Wu, have you forgotten that Goujian, king of Yue, killed your father?"
Fu Chai replied, "I dare not forget."
He used this method to motivate himself, work hard, and reorganize the government.
On the other hand, Goujian, the king of Yue, was complacent because of his victory in the battle, and he swelled up directly. He looked down on the state of Wu at all, and prepared to send troops to attack the state of Wu.
At this time, Fan Li, Goujian's courtier, no matter how much he persuaded Goujian, it was useless.
In the end, he was really defeated, and Goujian was surrounded by the Wu army.
Under Fan Li's suggestion, Gou Jian bowed his knees and begged for peace, willing to serve as Fu Chai's servant, let his queen serve as Fu Chai's slave, and dedicated the whole country to Wu.
Fu Chai believed that as long as he accepted Goujian's surrender, he would be able to reap the entire country of Yue without a single soldier, so he agreed to surrender.
Then there is the story of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, who lived hard and tasted courage.
After Gou Jian tried his best to get revenge, he didn't kill Fu Chai and let him be an ordinary person.
Ke Fucha couldn't bear such humiliation, so he committed suicide directly.
In this world, Su Che, Fan Li, did not go to Yue country, but came to Wu country to revitalize the already powerful Wu country.
Although Wu Guo has been here for such a long time, he has not done anything to Yue Guo.
But the poor King Goujian of Yue saw with his own eyes that the state of Wu was becoming stronger and stronger through reforms, while his own side was developing slowly, so he was naturally very anxious.
Su Che was not in a hurry to attack the Yue Kingdom, but kept his troops on guard. If Gou Jian really dared to attack, he would be defeated, and would be eaten alive by the Wu soldiers who were eager for military exploits and heads...
soon.
Wu's three-way army set off and marched into Chu.
Beside Su Che, young master Qingji acted as his driver and drove the chariot for him. Su Che squinted his eyes on the bamboo slips in the chariot, thinking about the problem.
Seeing Su Che pondering, Qingji asked curiously, "What book are you reading? So engrossed?"
"A book about Chu Di." Su Che said slowly.
"Chu Di's book?" Qingji was a little strange, and asked curiously, "Why do you read this kind of book?"
"Study how to govern Chu." Su Che said.
Hearing this, Qingji was dumbfounded: "Ah? Our army has just set off, and you have already started to study how to govern Chu? Isn't it too early?"
"Early?" Su Che said with a smile after hearing this, "Of course it's not early. It's easy for us to conquer Chu, but it's not easy to manage Chu well."
"If you just conquer Chu and rob supplies and people, but you can't achieve long-term stability, this war will be meaningless."
"I will never fight a meaningless war."
"If you're going to be a wise king, you have to take the long view."
"What we have to do is to help the world, not to be brave and ruthless, not to rob and plunder. In that case, what is the difference from bandits?"
After hearing this, Young Master Qingji exclaimed in surprise, "Kuang Futian?"
"Otherwise?" Su Che asked back, "Haven't you thought about this?"
"This... I really haven't thought about it." Qingji said with some shame.
"In this world, hundreds of years of war have almost destroyed the mountains, rivers and land. Countless people have been displaced by the war, and the princes and kings continue to launch various wars because of their own desires." Su Che glanced at the distance, and calmed down. Said slowly:
"This chaotic world, if we don't take action to prevent it, will continue for many years."
"The war that has lasted so long, the war that has been fought for so many years, it is time to end..."
"Since there is no one to stop it, then it's up to me to end this."
After hearing this, Young Master Qingji's eyes widened.
He used to have many unconstrained ideas, and he felt that his own ideas were unrealistic, but compared with his master's ideas, how obvious is the gap?
He suddenly felt that he was so narrow-minded and short-sighted.
Help the world.
Qingji carefully kept these four words in his heart.
After a while, he said without looking back: "Master, if you can't finish it, then let me finish it. If I can't finish it, then let my son and grandson continue to finish it."
"One day, this world, this chaotic world, will be ended by us!"
As the son of King Wu, Qing Ji is a very bold guy, otherwise Su Che would not accept him as his apprentice.
What he said was domineering, in line with his identity.
……
As Wu's army continued to march, Chu's side inevitably received news, and they began to organize troops to resist Wu's army.
soon.
The two armies faced each other head-on. Su Che stood up and looked at the opposite army, feeling very happy.
After the army marched, Su Che did not hide the target of the Wu army's attack, just to give the Chu army time to assemble and prepare.
What he wants is an upright war, an upright victory!
If it is a despicable means, through raids, plots, tricks, to obtain the final victory, even if it can easily win, Su Che is not willing to do it.
This is not for any "propriety", but to subdue the opponent Chu State through a frontal war, so that the opponent has no excuses or reasons to prevaricate his failure!
This is a royal battle.
Su Che drew out the sword in his hand, and shouted loudly: "The whole army, charge with me!!"
Young Master Qingji immediately whipped the horses and started a crazy charge. All the chariots moved in the front row.
In this row of chariots, everyone pointed their crossbows at the sky and fired salvos one after another.
Arrows flew in the direction of the Chu army densely like rain.
Although the Chu army carried shields and tried their best to resist the rain of arrows, many people were still directly shot and turned into hedgehogs.
The two armies fired in volley, Wu's strong bow and crossbow were obviously superior, while Chu's army's arrows were far inferior. The arrow fell from the sky, like a bird, pecked lightly, and Su Che couldn't feel it at all. less than pain.
He was wearing heavy armor, which blocked the arrows to a large extent. At this moment, the chariot was in the lead, and the chariot had rushed into the formation of the Chu army. He did not hold the sword again. This thing is not practical in war at all. Not as good as polearms.
Su Che's weapon is a spear, a Zhangba spear.
Weapons in this era are always one inch long and one inch strong. Su Che's seven-meter-long spear is rarely picked up with one hand, but at this moment he played it very neatly.
As he continued to thrust out, like piercing mutton skewers, he directly pierced more than a dozen people on the spear, and then with a flick of Su Che, these dozens of people were thrown into the crowd of the Chu army, and they were knocked down in an instant took a slice.
Seeing this scene, Qing Ji's eyes widened immediately. He boasted that he was born with supernatural powers and extraordinary bravery, but compared with Su Che's operation, it was still much worse. This is too fierce! !
When the people of the Chu army saw Su Che who was like a god descending from the earth, they immediately peed in fright.
With the Wu army's attack, the Chu army only lost less than [-]% of its people, and it was difficult to maintain the formation.
The soldiers of the Chu army were terrified. They felt that those Wu soldiers were like evil spirits. They were not afraid of death at all. The eyes they looked at their heads one by one were extremely terrifying. The only goal they rushed over was to cut off their heads. ! !
The soldiers of the Chu army have never encountered such a strong army, and have never encountered such terrifying soldiers!
this battle.
Wu Jun won easily, beheading over five thousand and taking nineteen thousand prisoners!
It can be described as a complete victory!
at the same time.
On Wu Zixu's and Sun Wu's side, the two armies also won crisp and clear victories.
Afterwards, Wu Jun pushed all the way horizontally, winning consecutive battles.
Su Che's journey was the most exaggerated. He created a terrifying record of winning three consecutive cities in one day.
In just No. 14 days, Wu Jun hit Yingdu, the capital of Chu State.
No. On the 19th day, the entire territory of Chu State was captured by Wu Jun.
Chu State, a powerful vassal state that once dominated the world, was completely taken down by Wu State in less than a month.
All of a sudden, the world was terrified!
