Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 102
Xianyang, the imperial capital, faces Nanshi and Zhangtai Palace.

Dozens of lieutenants [Imperial City Imperial Guards] received the order to mark out a [-]-foot-long and [-]-foot-wide open space in Nanshi. Wooden stakes were inserted into the four corners of the open space, and they were tightly connected with thick hemp ropes.

The onlookers were like birds chirping, and Nei Shifeng maintained order. Under the threat of swords, guns and halberds, the onlookers were sent away to five meters away, and all the shops were forcibly closed.

Immediately, the CRRC Mansion Commander shouted: "Your Majesty!"

CRRC soldiers in black and black battle armor came one after another, and the people on the street knelt down and congratulated: "Your Majesty has lived for ten thousand years!"

After a brief welcome, Qin Wangzheng stepped on his joy, and got out of the vermilion car, and the CRRC soldiers knelt down in front of Qin Wangzheng with their hands in their hands.

After setting up the five large bronze cases, CRRC soldiers held halberds and displayed them on both sides, and Wang Jian, Huan Yu, Changping Jun, and Kai Zhuang took their seats on both sides.

Qin Wangzheng sat in the center, flicked his sleeves, and the 24 selected elites were divided into two teams and entered the lawn.

After a copper whistle from CRRC Fu Chen sounded, a Warring States Cuju competition kicked off.

Kai Zhang and Mr. Changping frowned, absent-minded about the Cuju competition.

There are everywhere in the streets of Qiguo. The people of the country do not do farming, but do acrobatics every day. As a result, the more they play, the poorer they become.

People in Qi are complacent about this set of "unique skills", but they don't know that this kind of technology is really going extinct. Why do you want to engage in such boring juggling activities? Aren't you afraid of losing national strength like Qi?
Kai Zhuang and Lord Changping looked at each other, pretending to be reserved, and didn't ask any questions about Pi Ju, but Huan Yu took the lead to ask, "Why do you want to practice Cuju, an ancient acrobatic?"

The old implication is backwardness, and Qin Wangzheng can understand it, but he didn't argue with Wang Jian, but smiled and said: "The general will know the secret after the meeting!"

Huan Ye's face was as calm as water, but he was disdainful in his heart and said in his heart: "It's boring!"

Before coming here, Qin Wangzheng was still talking about the method of strengthening the army, but it turned out to be Cuju, this kind of toy that the soldiers used when they were young!
Qin Wangzheng was fascinated leisurely, put on a gesture of longing, and introduced: "The way to strengthen the army and the people is right in front of us!"

After the copper whistle blew, 24 fighters with tiger-headed eagle faces were divided into two teams, wearing red and blue hairbands on their heads.

Surprise flashed in the eyes of the surrounding audience, and Mr. Changping and the others were also puzzled.

After all, no one has been exposed to this new style of Cuju, and of course they don't know the benefits of it.

After receiving the order, the red and blue sides geared up and moved their ankles. The CRRC government order kicked away the ball, which was made of cowhide on the outside and feathers and straw on the inside.

A strong man wearing a blue headband and black leather, jumped over everyone, leaped, caught the ball, passed it to the opponent, and then ran forward with big strides, his steps were as heavy as a rhinoceros, constantly Signal to your teammates to tell them to pass the ball.

However, the players on the red team were tightly guarded, forming a towering barrier that prevented the blue team from finding any loopholes and unable to pass the ball. Fortunately, there was a member of the blue team who was as agile as a leopard, who caught the ball in time and passed the forward, then the forward. The center passed the ball to the strong man as strong as an ox again.

With the cooperation of the two, shoot the ball into the opponent's goal.

Seeing this scene, Qin Wangzheng said calmly: "Cai!"

The left and right prime ministers were also immersed in it, and when they heard the red and blue bodies colliding with each other, making pleasant sounds, they cried out unconsciously.

Huan Yan's blood boiled, and he stood up and cheered for them. Wang Jian did not pretend to be reserved and also cheered.

While he was happy, Wang Jian was still explaining that the man who was as strong as an ox was the grandson of General Meng Ao, and the man who was as agile as a leopard was his eldest grandson.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wangzheng picked up his wine glass and cheered for Wang Jian's success.

The four of them raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.After drinking, the four of them seemed to have a big change in mood, and once again praised Cuju as an important weapon of the country, and it really is a way to strengthen the army.

I thought it was a game, but it was just a few people gathering together to grab Piju and shoot into the opponent's goal.

But after watching a game, I discovered that the mystery is not only the excited cheers of the onlookers, but the military thinking contained in it.

Including from the attack, we can see the ways of using troops such as surprise attack, luring the enemy, deceit, and feinting, and from the defense, we can see various strategist strategies such as sticking to the barriers, waiting for work with ease, encircling Wei and saving Zhao.

Although these are just a trivial game for a small soldier who doesn't know the art of war, for resourceful military strategists like Wang Jian and Huan Jue, Cuju is a military miracle book.

Wang Jian couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart anymore, he took the lead in cupping his hands and said, "Although Piju is small, it is of great benefit."

"Strengthening the body is the first, improving the ability of teamwork and making the army operate efficiently is the second, and entertainment is the third in spare time."

"The most important point is that Piju condenses the actuality, formation, and force of war into one. Over time, the soldiers can understand the way to govern the army from it, and use it in military battles. An army where everyone is a military strategist, The fighting power can be imagined!"

After listening to Wang Jian's praise, Qin Wangzheng felt a warm current in his heart, and thought: "An army where everyone is a military strategist!"

Qin Wangzheng seems to have seen the hope of a decisive battle with Zhao Guo, and he can also see the benefits the army has gained from it.

And all this is due to the important information delivered by the little childish slave!

Piju was used by the Yellow Emperor to train soldiers as early as a hundred years ago, and it was only for entertainment.

But Xiaozhinu simply improved the rules of Piju, turning Piju into a confrontational competition.

A seemingly insignificant improvement can turn the military field used by Piju into a method of strengthening the army.

Xiao Zhinu is extremely intelligent, far surpassing the ingenuity of the Yellow Emperor, and hits the nail on the head to solve a major problem in the military field.

A few days later, the horse-drawn carts carrying food and supplies were transported to the camp of the Qin army on the border outside the pass.

In my spare time, I had a game of Cuju. The soldiers were sweating profusely, but they still took part in it happily, roaring and screaming like a battlefield.

In the barracks for a long time, there is nothing to do except eating, sleeping, training, and patrolling.

After a few months, the soldiers felt boring, and the imperial edict of Qin Wangzheng was not issued, and there was no battle to fight, the soldiers would be tired, which would affect their morale. It can improve morale and allow soldiers to strengthen their bodies after training.

And Li Mu, who was stationed at Wuguan, burst out laughing when he heard the news: "I didn't practice diligently in the army, but I played the entertainment of Piju, the Qin army will definitely lose!"

Li Mu didn't dare to slack off, and ordered the army to train for breakfast until dusk. The soldiers had long been bored with the boring military training and were absent-minded.

Even if Li Mu tried to make an example of others, it would not help.

In desperation, Li Mu could only shorten the training time.

After four months of training, Qin Jun was still able to raise his arms and shout, charge forward, but Zhao Jun was a little tired.

Three days later, the imperial edict of the Qin Dynasty was issued, and the 20 troops in the pass were divided into two groups, one to support the [-] troops on the border of Qin and Zhao, and the other to go north along South Korea.

A total of 30 troops from the three routes set up camp in the frontier, and smoke rose from the kitchen, waiting for Li Mu's downfall
