After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 367
When Sun Wu was mentioned, Zhao Yang showed a serious look in his eyes, then nodded slowly and said.

"Wu Zixu was the Prime Minister of the State of Wu in the past, because he recruited Sun Wuzi to help the State of Wu train troops, and he was able to prohibit the training of court ladies, so that the State of Wu was able to grow to the point where it is today. It seems that the infantry of the State of Han is not tolerated. Underestimate."

"If this is the case, even though the Han army has only [-] infantry, we still have to be cautious when fighting, so as not to give the opponent an opportunity. At the same time, Zhao also wants to see the infantry of the Han army. What's so special about it."

There is also a small story here, which is specifically recorded in "Historical Records" Volume 65 "Biography of Sun Tzu". After Sun Wu arrived in Wu State, he dedicated his military art to King Helu of Wu. After reading it, King Wu felt that he could try it. Try Sun Tzu's ability.

However, he also wanted to take the opportunity to make things difficult, so he proposed to use his maids for military training, and Sun Wu agreed on the spot.

Then King Wu summoned all the women in the harem, and made his two favorite concubines the captains.

At this time, Sun Wu sent people to lift up all the torture tools, and preached to them to practice law enforcement. After repeated several times, he began to practice. As a result, when the order was issued, the people below still did not respond and burst into laughter.

When Sun Wu saw it, he directly said that it was his fault, because he did not convey the order clearly, and then conveyed it again to confirm that they all understood, but there was still no response to the order, and they still laughed.

At this time, Sun Wu immediately said, "You didn't hear the order clearly the first time. This is the commander's responsibility, so I reiterated it again, but you still don't obey the order. This is the captain's responsibility."

So he sent someone to directly take the two captains and was about to behead them on the spot. At this time, King Helu of Wu was in a hurry and came out to intercede. Must follow.

After killing the two favorite concubines, the following strategies were frightening at first glance, and they got up and issued the order again. These maids obeyed Ruyi, and no one dared to violate it. This matter is well known in today's world.

Zhao Yang also admired Sun Wu's approach very much, so when he reformed and built up the army, he emphasized military orders very much, so he expresses such emotion now.

After Xu Xia got the promise, he was overjoyed, and after he said goodbye and left, You Liang spoke.

"Now I just saw that my Jin country has recovered its strength, so I took the initiative to ask for help, so as to express my attachment, but the situation of our Jin country is not very good now, so this time it is best to send troops to fight quickly quick decision."

"Send out superior forces and force the Han army to withdraw. Don't cause a big war at this time. In this case, both Qi and Wu will benefit from it, and our Jin State's established strategic plan will also be delayed. .”

Zhao Yang also knew in his heart that Qi State had sent envoys to Yan State to attack Jin State together with Yan State, and Yan State had sent envoys to Jin State to explain the matter after receiving the news.

It is obvious that Qi State wants to find an excuse to attack Yan State. Under such circumstances, Jin State must be fully prepared. Although Han State is a threat, it is far away, and it can be slowly Picture it. "

However, the danger of Qi State was clearly in front of us. Under such circumstances, it was very clear where to go, so Zhao Yang nodded in agreement, and then said with a sigh of relief.

"Now that Qi State is so close to Han State, and now that Wu State is unwilling to take action against Han State because it has obtained the new city, it has already assembled an army and is preparing to launch an attack on Chu State."

"I really didn't expect Mengdi to be so forbearing, and he seems to be a good opponent. If this is the case, then we will send out all the cavalry and take a thousand chariots, so as to add Zheng Guo's army."

"In terms of strength, it will far exceed Han. From the bottom of my heart, I still hope to fight against Han. I heard that Han has now expanded its troops, and there are experts like Sun Wuzi in charge of training. "

"I don't know their strength. Is it better now than before? If we can't know what we know, we will suffer a loss if we go to war against Han in the future."

Mengdi's flexible cavalry tactics left a deep impression on Zhao Yang, and there is a characteristic of the Han Dynasty. Up to now, they seem to have no ambitions for the territory, but just blindly plunder the population.

This also made Zhao Yang somewhat curious, so he continued to ask at this time.

"It stands to reason that the Han Kingdom now has such a large population, and their food pressure should not be small, but they did not expand externally, but continued to plunder the population, which seems a bit weird."

After hearing this, You Liang showed a serious look on his face, and said immediately.

"Because the Han Kingdom is mainly located in the south, they mainly plant rice, and the yield of rice seems to be not low. That's why the food pressure in the Han Kingdom is actually not that great, otherwise they wouldn't be making a lot of wine. .”

"Even now, Han has never stopped brewing during the past few times of foreign wars. From this aspect, it can be seen that the rice yield is not low, but the demand for water is too high, so I have not paid special attention to this matter. "

"This is also an omission. I will send people to find out about this matter in the future. And until now, the main development is around Huai City. After Guo Huizi took refuge in Mengdi, he built a new city in the south of Huai City. city."

"A large number of people have been settled there. Obviously, they want to develop this place. At the same time, it can also echo with Tancheng. In the future, it can prevent the Wu army from directly attacking Huaicheng."

"Judging from the current situation, the Han State has initially completed the development of the Huaiyi land, and now it is plundering a large number of people again, which should be for the future. This shows that the Han State has enough food."

This made Zhao Yang's heart full of vigilance. If the output of rice is not low, then the Han State can be said to have a considerable advantage. Under such circumstances, as long as the Han State has a large territory in the south.

Then they can promote rice planting. In this way, with sufficient food, the population will multiply rapidly, and the national strength will naturally become stronger.
