I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 307 Wei Shu's Proposal

The state of Chu took over the states of Chen and Cai one after another, which meant that the territory of the state of Chu was larger than that of the states of Jin and Qi combined.

This "feat" of Chu State shocked the whole world.And the situation in the Central Plains can be said to be in jeopardy.

State of Jin, Jiangcheng.

Marquis Jin looked at the report in his hand, and his hands shook with anger, burning with anger.

He never imagined that the appeasement and compromise made by the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom would cause such a disaster for no reason!

But in the face of the increasingly aggressive Chu State, no one knew what to do.

"God damn Chu people!"

"God damn Xiongwei!"

"An dare to despise me so much!"

In fact, if it weren't for the compromise and appeasement of Jin State, which led to Chu State's quick settlement of Zhongli and other countries, how could Chu State expand to this point?

Fortunately, Wu State did not bring much trouble to Chu State. On the contrary, Chu State took down both Chen State and Cai State directly.

Seeing that the state of Chu is in full swing, it is about to push them to the door of the Central Plains!
At this time, Wei Shu, who was the commander of the Chinese army at the time, was the first to stand up.

Wei Shu is the grandson of Wei Zhaozi, a famous general of Jin State.

"Your Majesty, the wolfish ambitions of the Chu Kingdom are clearly revealed. If we, the Jin Kingdom, don't respond, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the princes of the world!"

"I think that the king of Chu is arrogant and extravagant, and the whole world is angry. We must not tolerate his reckless behavior!"

What do these words mean?

beat!
It must be taught a lesson severely!
What Wei Shu said surprised everyone.After all, the whole world knows the state of Jin now.

The office is weak, and the current Marquis of Jin has long since lost the prestige of Duke Mourning.And the six ministers of the state of Jin, each family only sweeps the snow in front of the door, each with his own ghosts, who is willing to take the thankless effort to take care of the affairs of the state of Chu?

Therefore, if people like Han Qi and Fan Yang say these words, the jaws of others will drop in shock.

But if these words were to come out of Wei Shu's mouth, it would appear much more normal.

Because on the one hand, his Wei family was originally a relatively weak branch of the six ministers, but what about seniority?His seniority happened to be very high, and now he is only ranked behind Han Qi.

Therefore, if it is said that other people have insufficient motivation to do things, then his Wei family must be the most willing to make troubles.

Of course, on the other hand, Wei Shu really has the confidence!

Want to know who Wei Shu is?
He is now the most capable doctor in the state of Jin!
Some people may not believe this, and some people may not know Wei Shu very well, so they will be suspicious of this statement.

But if he told about one thing he did not long ago, I am afraid that everyone would be convinced by him.

Wei Shu is the founder of foot combat instead of chariot combat!
In other words, since the beginning of Xuanyuan in ancient times, according to historical records, whether it was in the Shang Dynasty or the Zhou Dynasty, in fact, the main method of warfare has always been based on chariots.

In other words, chariots have been the absolute main force in the army since ancient times.

Therefore, take a chariot and its attached soldiers on foot as a basic combat unit.When vassal states declare their military power, they usually use the number of chariots as the unit of measurement.

For example, in the period of Jin Gonggong, the so-called master of ten thousand chariots, the current king of Chu also declares that he is the country of thousand chariots.

What is this concept?

It is roughly equivalent to the countries of later generations. Larger countries will say how many main station tanks they have and how many armored corps they are compatible with.

However, this Wei Shu, in the Battle of Dayuan not long ago, when he attacked Rong and Di, Wei Shu personally commanded all the soldiers of the Jin State to give up fighting in vehicles and fight on foot instead.

Speaking of the reason, it is actually very simple, because most of the Rongdi at that time were hidden among the hills and valleys.In these places, it is extremely difficult for chariots and horses to travel, and there is no condition for galloping in the plains.

Therefore, although it is possible to use chariots to fight among the hills, it is difficult to achieve the full effect in the end.

And this Wei Shu is just so arrogant.He even dared to play 1V1 with the barbarians who are used to walking in the mountains.

I don't want the chariot anymore, I will fight a mountain battle with you openly!

It stands to reason that without the blessing of chariots, ordinary Jin people who make a living from farming should not be able to compete with the barbarians who have been entrenched between the hills and valleys.

But Wei Shu really has such abilities.He really won the battle with less, and won the battle!
What is it like to say?
It is roughly similar to the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The hussar general Huo Qubing led thousands of cavalry and ran for thousands of miles. Instead, he beat the Huns to the ground in the way the Huns played.

And it was this battle that made the people at that time realize that even if they got out of the chariot, as long as they tried various new tactics boldly and flexibly, they could actually fight well, and, on the contrary, they would be better off. Hit a lot.

Therefore, at this time, the art of war is in the hands of Wei Shu, and a brand new theory was born.

How to describe his achievement? (Actually, it shouldn't be called a feat, because creating and changing any method of warfare should not be called a feat.)
It's like the Gulf War in later generations, which suddenly made everyone realize that the torrent of steel is ultimately no match for the changes of the technological age.

Of course, this may be an exaggeration.

However, his more advanced concept of foot combat has deeply influenced generations of latecomers.

Therefore, if other people say that they want to attack Chu, few people would dare to believe it.But what Wei Shu said, no one would dare to take it seriously.

Although their Wei family is not outstanding among the six ministers, in terms of his personal courage and wisdom, he is definitely outstanding among the six ministers of Jin today.

Furthermore, Marquis Jin has been forbearing for many years now, and he has a lot of resentment towards the group of six ministers under him and his gradual decline.

Hearing what Wei Shu said, he was about to take the opportunity to get mad, so how could he easily let go of such an opportunity?

"Wei Qing is right! Jingman is really deceiving me too much in the Central Plains. If we don't conquer now, when will we wait?!"

Do it!If the tiger doesn't show its power, do you think I'm a sick cat?
After all, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. How dare you, a small country of barbarians, covet and occupy China?
"Han Qing!"

"The widow ordered you to immediately lead the three armies, join the princes, and punish the Chu State!"

In fact, it stands to reason that the Marquis of Jin at this time does not have much control over the entire domestic situation.

It can even be said that he, the monarch, no longer has any real power.Not to mention these matters related to ritual and music conquest.

But the reason why he was still able to give orders at this time was entirely because of Wei Shu's words as a foreshadowing in this matter.After Wei Shu said these words, he was not opposed by several other families, especially the Han family, Fan family, and Zhongxing family.

In other words, the Marquis of Jin was just playing cool with the flow.

Just like the Pingqiu meeting back then.

However, as I said before, the state of Jin is now a mess.Now that it is suddenly mentioned to attack Chu, what about the other families besides the Wei family?

What about their attitude?

Han Qi, as a general of the Chinese army, and as the only senior official of the state of Jin who still has the concept of "struggling for hegemony" in this era, he should be in favor of it.And the Han family and the Zhao family have always been allies, so although Zhao Wu (Zhao Wenzi) of the Zhao family has passed away, the successor Zhao Cheng has always been friendly with the Han family?Therefore, the three families of Han, Zhao, and Wei naturally would not come to demolish the Marquis of Jin.

Correspondingly, Fan's, Zhi's, and Zhongxing's three families strongly opposed this.

One more digression needs to be said here, which is Wei Shu, the suzerain of the Wei family.After this person later took over Han Qi's ruling stick, during his six years in power, it can be said that he showed his talents to the fullest, making the Wei family a big family at that time. One of the foundations of Wei State is to lay a solid foundation.
