I was a gentleman in ancient times

After drying his hair, Wei Su had already fallen asleep.After a long journey, it is indeed tiring to worry about things in Shu land non-stop.

Qin Zhan gently picked him up, Wei Su felt it, and opened his eyes half awake to look at Qin Zhan.Qin Zhan's hands were steady, and his voice was unprecedentedly gentle, "Sleep peacefully, I will carry you to the couch."

Wei Su's mind was still in a daze, but he felt relieved after hearing this, found a comfortable place for his head, and fell asleep again.

This is also the performance of Wei Su's trust in him. If it were someone else, Wei Su would not be able to fall asleep unprepared.Qin Zhan felt complacent, and the corners of his mouth turned upwards. He had never cared so much about someone, and he never insisted on anything since he was a child.But it's different now, such a Wei Su made him willing to let go, without Wei Su's company for the rest of his life, there would be no meaning of life anymore.

When Wei Su woke up the next day, it was broad daylight.Qin Zhan beside him had long since disappeared. Someone in the palace noticed that Wei Su had woken up and came forward to help him wash up.

This was what Qin Zhan had ordered a long time ago, and Wei Su was not used to it.He used to do it himself, but now someone does everything for him, which makes him feel disabled.

He wanted to let people go down without being waited on, but as soon as the words were spoken, a group of people knelt down in a large swath as if they were in imminent disaster.

Someone tremblingly said: "Sir, the king ordered you to take good care of your master. If not, the lives of your servants will be lost. Please don't embarrass your servants and others."

Wei Su sighed, there is no way, the king is greater than the sky, who dares to disobey orders?He didn't want to embarrass others, so he had to let them.

After taking care of everything, the dexterous palace maid gently inserted a jade hairpin into his bun, "Look at it, sir, how good is this?"

Wei Su had a good temper and was gentle with others, and the palace people gradually became less afraid.After combing hair for him, he asked a question by the way.

Wei Su glanced at himself in the bronze mirror, and nodded in satisfaction.Originally, the palace servants wanted to replace the tassels for him, but Wei Su strongly rejected it. A simple wooden hairpin can solve the problem, why bother with those tassels and crowns.Wei Su insisted that the palace servants had no choice but to pick a jade hairpin. A gentleman is like jade, and the jade hairpin shines like a jade hairpin, which matches well.

Wei Su was not attracted by the jade hairpin, but by a little red mark on his neck.He stretched out his hand and touched it, it was neither painful nor itchy, but he didn't know how it came from.

He was very puzzled, "What's going on?"

The palace man's face was a little red, and he hesitated and said: "There are many mosquitoes in Shu..."

Wei Su suddenly realized, so that's the case, he just said, it seems that I need to ask Ah Zhen to make some mosquito repellent sachets and bring them with me.

After thinking about it, she noticed the strangeness of the other party, and she didn't understand why she was blushing, "You...are you sick and have a fever? Your face is a little red, if you feel uncomfortable, go to my sister Wei Zhen to get some medicine."

The palace man covered his face, "No... I'm not feeling uncomfortable, this servant... probably got hot."

Wei Su looked at the sky, it was autumn in Sichuan, although the heat was still there at noon, it was cool in the morning and evening.I don't know if what she said is true or not, Wei Su didn't ask any more, the palace man obviously breathed a sigh of relief, "Sir, the court food is ready, and the servants will bring it here?"

Wei Su nodded, he still has things to do after dinner, now he is trying his best to grasp the current situation in Sichuan.Even if he and Qin Zhan returned to the capital in the future, the situation in Shu would still be reported every month.However, many things still need to be checked on the spot to know what to know.

While Wei Su was eating, someone came to report that General Zhongli had come.Before Wei Su could speak, Zhong Lihui had already entered.

Seeing Wei Su eating, he also sat down carelessly, Wei Su asked a few words, and knowing that he hadn't eaten yet, he asked someone to bring the bowl and chopsticks over.Zhong Lihui was not too polite, he drank three big bowls of rice porridge, put the bowl away at the end, wiped his mouth indiscriminately, and frowned seeing that Wei Su was still chewing slowly.

Wei Su glanced at him, still the same, "Just say what you have to say."

He came to see Wei Su for something, and he didn't intend to be polite, so he asked directly, "Mr. Wei, do you really want to stay in Qin?"

Wei Su nodded, "It's already here, how can you go back on your word?"

"No, the current situation of Qin State is really bad. How can other vassal states not be better than Qin State?"

"I really don't think so, but I think Qin is pretty good too." Wei Su shook his head, paused and asked, "I heard from the king that you have a one-year covenant with him?"

"That's right, whether King Qin deserves my allegiance or not, we have to wait and see. You want to rely on Qin to unify the world, but Qin cannot protect itself. This is like a fool's dream."

Wei Su smiled and said, "Do you believe me?"

"This... Mister alone can turn the tide? Unless the saint is alive." The implication is that he really doesn't have any confidence in Wei Su and Qin.

Wei Su didn't mean to blame him, it's impossible for anyone to believe it. "I told you before that I have a way to make Qin really strong. It's not just talk. However, you have a one-year agreement with the King of Qin, and you can see if it can be true in a year's time." Keep the general."

The purpose of Zhong Lihui's coming here is also for this matter. For Wei Su's sake, it is impossible for him to leave immediately after arriving, so he made a one-year agreement with King Qin.In his heart, this agreement is impossible to fulfill, and he will have a reason to leave when the time comes.He explained it to Wei Su, so that Wei Su would not be offended.

Now that Wei Su said so, he felt relieved, nodded and said: "I think, if you can get away, you should find a way to get out as soon as possible." They walked together all the way anyway, and it can be regarded as sharing weal and woe, so I advise Wei Su No trouble.

Wei Su just smiled meaningfully, "Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you for speaking up for me. Actually, you don't need to worry about me."

Zhong Lihui was surprised, "Oh! King Qin didn't hide anything, he told you everything? To treat you like this, no wonder you are so determined to stay in Qin." He still insisted: "I have nothing to do with your life or death. ? I was just warning King Qin not to think too easily. As for you, whether you listen or not is your own business."

This person is probably too awkward.Wei Su shook his head amusedly, I'm notoriously tyrannical to all kinds of dissatisfaction, looking at you, it's hard to justify not keeping you.

What Wei Su just said was referring to Zhong Lihui's last conversation with Qin Zhan. Zhong Lihui held Wei Su's grievances and prevented him from sacrificing Wei Su for his own benefit one day.This is obviously because he is worried that Wei Su will suffer, and he refuses to admit it.

Since ancient times, flying birds have made good bows, and cunning rabbits have died.At that time, don't Wei Su do his best for the King of Qin, but it will not be a good one.If Wei Su's method of reform fails and the mad dog fights back, King Qin will be fine in the end, and only the culprit Wei Su will be pushed out.In fact, isn't he reminding Wei Su?

Of course Wei Su understood what he meant, and was grateful in his heart, at least he was thinking of himself.

"Actually, I chose the State of Qin not only because of the King of Qin. You will know in the future that although the other vassal states are much stronger than the State of Qin, the only one that can really let me use my hands and feet is the State of Qin. The State of Qin is located in the In the frontier, the people are tough, and the forces in the country are far less complicated. Relatively speaking, the success rate of my plan will be much higher, and with the full support of the King of Qin, my resistance will be much smaller."

Wei Su took a look at Zhong Lihui, and continued: "When you stay in Qin, you will definitely feel the changes in Qin." Wei Su didn't intend to hide it from him, "Actually, your request, I can also understand that you didn't choose to leave immediately, so I'm already grateful. Qin really needs talents, and I hope you can stay willingly after a year."

When Wei Su said this, Zhong Lihui didn't know what to say, and finally he could only say in a huff: "Huh! Don't talk too early, whether you can let me stay depends on whether the conditions I put forward are met. So don't be so busy saying thank you."

Wei Su smiled and said, "Let's wait and see!"

The determined look on Wei Su's face made Zhong Lihui hesitate, he stared at Wei Su, and asked cautiously: "Could you really think of a way for King Qin?"

"But the covenant between you doesn't say that others are not allowed to help you find a solution?" Wei Su secretly laughed.

"Uh!" Zhong Lihui paused, there was indeed no such rule, but he really didn't believe that Qin could really form an army of [-] in one year.Thinking of this, he gained confidence, "So what if you help me? It's impossible for you, Wei Su, to become an army? Hahaha!"

Wei Su also laughed, "Actually, I think the covenant is a bit unfair."

Zhong Lihui was taken aback, "What's so unfair? Mr. Wei, please don't fool me, let alone try to deceive me."

Wei Su shook his head, "You have made an agreement with the King of Qin, and the conditions are fulfilled, you will train an iron army for the King of Qin?"

"That's right." Zhong Lihui thought there was nothing wrong with it.

"Then do you dare to make a bet with me that if your conditions are fulfilled, you will stay in Qin State forever and serve Qin State." Wei Su casually raised his stake. "Hey! After all, it is difficult to achieve such a difficult condition to form an army of [-] within a year. What's the use of just helping Qin to train an iron army? Every army has its own way. Let me do it the same way. You can have a set of military training methods. It’s too simple for you, you can’t make it, this covenant is not equal at all.”

Unconvinced, Zhong Lihui snorted coldly and said, "Leading soldiers is the most difficult part of training. People who have never led soldiers before say such things, isn't it ridiculous?"

"The method of employing troops is to be ordered by the ruler, to unite the army and gather the masses, to make peace and give up, nothing is more difficult than a military struggle... It is as swift as the wind, as slow as a forest, invades and plunders as fire, does not move as a mountain, is difficult to understand as shadows, and moves as thunder. ... Note ①"

Wei Su spoke slowly and unhurriedly, the more Zhong Lihui listened, the more startled he became, and then he stood up suddenly, "You...you...where did you come from?" As a general, he naturally understood what Wei Su said. Words are so precious.

Wei Su smiled but didn't answer, he didn't believe that the famous "Sun Tzu's Art of War" would not be tempting, could be regarded as a sacred scripture by future generations, and regarded as a standard, how could it be normal?Not to mention Zhong Lihui, a military prodigy.

Zhong Lihui scratched his ears and cheeks, and almost grabbed Wei Su's lapel across the table and shook him to make him talk. "You tell me everything, and I will listen to you." He made up his mind and swore.

"Then the conditions I proposed?"

"Succeed, I will make an agreement with you to add the clause of serving Qin forever in addition to the previous covenant. But now you have to tell me exactly what you said."

Wei Su pinched his chin, "I seem to be at a disadvantage?"

Zhong Lihui almost vomited blood at Wei Su's words, and moved his hand back and forth on the hilt of the sword at his waist several times, and almost put the knife on Wei Su's neck.

"Actually, you can ask King Qin." Seeing that he was really out of breath, Wei Su couldn't bear to fool him anymore.Originally, I could also give him the "Sun Tzu's Art of War", but I thought it would be most appropriate to hand over this matter to King Qin.

As early as a few years ago, when Qin Zhan returned to Qin, he silently gave Qin Zhan the "Sun Tzu's Art of War".Now that Qin Zhan can take advantage of this, it is not bad to bring Zhong Lihui back to Qin.As long as he can stay and become Qin's helper, they will have half the confidence.And Zhong Lihui became one of his own, what is this thing?

Wei Su still wanted to say something, but Zhong Lihui rushed out again in a hurry.Wei Su shook his head, finished the last bite of the bowl, and then let someone clean it up.

Qin Zhan left early this morning because he really had a ghost in his heart.Wei Su was really tired last night, and he arranged for a soothing spice, so Wei Su slept very deeply.That's why he had the opportunity to kiss and touch her. He didn't have the heart to deal with the affairs in front of him at all.Still thinking about the details of last night, I heard the palace man report that it was Zhong Lihui who came.

Qin Zhan wondered why Zhong Lihui was here at this time, so he asked people to come in.

Zhong Lihui was excited, but at least he was not rude. After seeing Yili, he couldn't wait.Without waiting for Qin Zhan to ask questions, he had already said all Wei Su's words, "Your Majesty, I wonder if you can let me read the complete book on warfare."

Qin Zhan had already understood Wei Su's meaning at this time, and pondered for a moment, "Actually, this is not impossible, but it's about the covenant?"

Zhong Lihui didn't get carried away. No matter what happens, he must stay calm. This is the first rule of being a general. Otherwise, being a general will only lead the army to perish. win.

"The matter of the covenant is naturally obeyed, and Mr. Wei and I have also made an agreement. As long as the conditions of the covenant are fulfilled, I will serve Qin and obey the king of Qin."

Qin Zhan nodded, "That's very good, but has Mr. Wei mentioned to you that within one year of General Zhongli's request, there is a way to achieve the [-] troops?"

"What?" Zhong Lihui was extremely surprised. The request he made yesterday was determined to be impossible for Qin.But today he got such a result from King Qin's mouth, no matter what he felt that it was a joke.Even with Wei Su's help, it's impossible to come so soon, right?However, looking at King Qin's solemn expression, it didn't look like a joke.

Qin Zhan expressed Wei Su's concept that all people are soldiers, "the number of people in Qin is more than [-]. When it comes to war, all the old, weak, women and children can form an army, so the conditions of the covenant made by the general are absolute. No problem. You just wait for one year to become the general of the soldiers and horses of the widow, train the [-] soldiers for the widow, and conquer the world for Qin."

While Zhong Lihui was still in a daze, Qin Zhan continued: "Since General Zhongli is destined to serve Qin, there is no need to hide this "Sun Tzu's Art of War", and it will be fine to send it to you."

Of course, he would not give away the copy that Wei Su wrote in his own hand, at most he would have another copy.

Only then did Zhong Lihui realize that all the people are soldiers, soldiers in wartime and civilians in peacetime, so the whole people are soldiers.Strong men form one army, strong women form one army, and men and women, old and weak, form one army, which are called the three armies.Note ② In this way, how can Qin State worry about the source of troops, but how many there are.

"This is what Mr. Wei came up with? No wonder Mr. Chu asked me to follow Wei Su. Such a genius method, only he can think of it."

Zhong Lihui was in a trance, and had already been trapped firmly by Qin Zhan, Wei Su and others without knowing it.

In the end, Zhong Lihui got the book of war given to him by Qin Zhan as he wished, and he was ecstatic as if he had found a treasure.Of course, this also means that it is impossible for him to go to other places, and he doesn't care, it doesn't matter where.With Wei Su in Qin State, the situation will certainly not be too bad.Besides, he also wanted to see the real farming war system, the real whole people are soldiers.
