Yunyang Xiaoyingzheng [Da Qin]

After the war song ended, the echo lingered for a long time, as if the Qin soldiers buried in Changping were responding to their comrades.

The Qin people who were still alive put away their sorrows, set up camps and buried pots for cooking.

Ah Zheng saw General Meng Wu standing alone on a small slope not far away, he thought for a while, went back to his tent, took the Qin crossbow and walked towards the small slope.

Before Ah Zheng approached, Meng Wu heard his footsteps and turned his head first: "Young master, what do you need from your servant?"

Ah Zheng took a closer look at Meng Wu's face, which was resolute and heavy. The lonely back just now seemed to be just an illusion of his. He raised the Qin crossbow in his hand and explained to Meng Wu: "General Meng, I used it a few times before. The second Qin crossbow, but the accuracy is not so good, is there something wrong with my use?"

Meng Wu took the crossbow in Ah Zheng's hand, looked carefully, and asked, "Young master, who assembled this crossbow?"

Ah Zheng said: "I pretended it myself, General Meng, did I make a mistake?"

Meng Wu glanced at Ah Zheng and was a little surprised. The parts of the crossbow were complicated and the assembly was cumbersome. Even the soldiers in the army were not familiar with the assembly of crossbows. I didn't expect the young master to be so talented in the assembly of crossbows.He explained: "Young master didn't install it wrongly, it's just that a few strings weren't tightened enough." And this is probably because the young master is still a child and lacks strength.

Ah Zheng, Meng Wu's helper, adjusted the crossbow string, reassembled it, and handed it to him: "My lord, try again now."

Ah Zheng looked around with the crossbow and decided to take the tree not far away as his target. He raised the crossbow and aimed at the tree trunk.

"Den-"

The powerful recoil of the crossbow caused Ah Zheng to fall backwards, and he was about to hit the ground on the back of his head, but was stopped by Meng Wu beside him, barely stabilizing his body.

Ah Zheng quickly stood up and thanked Meng Wu: "Thank you General Meng, it turns out that this is the real power of the Qin Nu."

"My lord, you don't need to be too polite. It's getting dark, let's go back to our camp."

"Ah."

On the way back to the tent, Ah Zheng asked Meng Wu: "General Meng, I was studying recently and read the sentence 'He who is good at defeating the enemy is better than the invisible'. What kind of situation is better than the invisible?"

Meng Wu laughed, and looked at A Zheng: "What does the young master think, what does this sentence mean?"

"He who is good at defeating the enemy is better than invisible. Fighting or not fighting. Therefore, he who is better than fighting with the sword is not a good general." Ah Zheng nodded his head, "I know this passage means that defeating the enemy can not only be achieved through war force , You can also use resourcefulness to defeat the enemy invisible and reduce your own losses. But, what kind of situation is resourcefulness?"

Meng Wu restrained his smile, and tapped the ground under his feet: "Does the young master know where this is?"

Ah Zheng didn't know why Meng Wu asked such an answer that everyone knew, but he answered honestly: "This is Changping Town."

Meng Wu nodded: "That's right. Back then, the former king sent people to attack Han with the intention of taking down Shangdang. The king of Han feared and dedicated the city. Everything went smoothly. Unexpectedly, Feng Ting, the prefect of Shangdang, refused to surrender and instead sent The dedication of Shangdang to Zhao State triggered the Changping War between Qin and Zhao.”

Meng Wu continued: "Our army is strong, but Zhao's army is not weak. In order to compete for Shangdang, the two armies fought a big battle. Although our army had a slight advantage, the general of Zhao at that time was the famous general Lian Po. If you can't avoid the war, the war will be deadlocked."

"Young master, you have to know that the daily loss of food and grass is huge when the army is away. Changping is far away from Qin, and the army is away, so the transportation of food and grass is inconvenient. However, Zhao Jun has the local people of Shangdang to provide them with food and grass. , the war is very likely to be reversed. Young master, if you were faced with this situation, what would you do?"

Ah Zheng thought for a while and said, "Cut off the Zhao army's grain transportation route and lead them out of the barrier to fight."

Meng Wu looked at Gong Zizheng in front of him and nodded. Although his thoughts were still superficial, it was considered pretty good to be able to think of these things at a young age. He continued: "At that time, our country's method was to let Zhao Guoqian change his mind. Handsome. Since Lian Po can't get out of the city with his army, let Zhao Wang replace him and replace him with an unintelligent general to fight."

Ah Zheng was a little puzzled: "But King Zhao is not a fool, how could he agree to such a stupid government order?"

"The king of Zhao is indeed not a fool, but Lian Po can't avoid the battle, which has aroused the suspicion of the king of Zhao. In addition, there are many villains in Zhao Guoguo. Gossip, the rest is easy."

"Zhao Guo replaced the young Zhao Kuo as the coach, but our army uses General Bai Qi as the coach. One is weak and the other is strong, and the victory will be divided." It's a pity that Wu Anjun Bai Qi was bestowed dead by the former king Du You, a generation of famous generals ended in a bleak end , Thinking of this, Meng Wu couldn't help but feel depressed. His Meng family has been loyal for generations, and he doesn't know what will happen in the future?

"General Meng, General Meng, so the meaning of 'He who is good at defeating the enemy is better than invisible' means to win the war with the least cost?"

The young master's bright eyes were full of hope, and Meng Wu couldn't help but feel a bit less sad. He said with a smile, "That's right. It's not just a war where swords meet, it's also an invisible war between countries. For example, A long time ago, Qi State was just a small country, but with Guan Zhong and Duke Huan of Qi buying deer to conquer Chu, serving silk to surrender to Luliang, and buying fox fur to descend to Dai, it gradually became a powerful country. If you are interested in these stories, you may wish to go to Ask that Li Lang, he is a student of Xunqing, he must know more about these things than me."

"Okay, thank you General Meng for teaching me this."

"You are welcome, young master. Alright, it's time for dinner, young master, let's go back to the camp for dinner."

"it is good."

Ah Zheng returned to the camp, and the maid, Ah Yan, ordered the lacquer plates and wooden chopsticks to be arranged, and put the warm meals one by one on the small table in front of Ah Zheng.

The small table is full of fresh dishes, tempting and tangy, and everyone eats dry food that has been stored for a long time along the way. This time they encountered a city, so they had the opportunity to eat vegetables.

"My lord, these are the bamboo shoots and wild pheasants and rabbits that the slaves went to dig in the mountains today."

After eating the dried meat and thick naan for a few days, and seeing the fresh vegetable stew on the lacquer plate, Ah Zheng was indeed a bit greedy.He asked Ah Yan to help him break up the thick naan and soak it in the broth, then picked up the wooden chopsticks and ate happily.

With enough soup and food, Ah Zheng rubbed his stomach and lay on his side on the small table to read a book to digest his food.Li Lang has something to deal with today, so he doesn't have time to teach him, so tonight he can relax and have a rest to change his mind.

After Ayan cleaned up the lacquer plate and wooden chopsticks, she stood there with a hesitant look on her face.

Ah Zheng raised his head from the book and saw her expression, and asked, "What's wrong? What do you want to say?"

Ayan hesitated, opened her mouth but did not make a sound.

After getting along during this period of time, Ah Zheng is quite satisfied with Ah Yan, she is cautious, quick and decisive in doing things, and she will not talk too much. If there is no reason, she will not be like this. The way I said it.

Ah Zheng looked at her: "Just tell me, what happened?"

Ayan thought over and over again, and finally spoke, her voice trembling: "Young Master, I saw Madam going to the tent to the west by herself today."

The camp on the west side was occupied by Zhao Guo's envoy who followed them to Qin. That man usually stayed quietly in the corner with his servants, almost without any sense of presence.How did A Niang get involved with the envoys of Hui Zhao?

Ah Zheng frowned slowly after listening to the maidservant's words.

I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, love you all!

1. Those who are good at defeating the enemy are better than invisible.To fight and not to fight.Therefore, whoever wins the fight with the sword is not a good general. —— "Six Secret Teachings"

2. Regarding Zhao Ji: The records of Zhao Ji in the historical records are contradictory (even the name Zhao Ji is not in the historical records). It is said that she is the rich and powerful daughter of Zhao Guo, so she can take Xiao Yingzheng to hide in Tibet under Zhao Wang's pursuit. In "Warring States Policy", there is no record of Lu Buwei offering beauty to other people. (PS: This article has a private setting about Zhao Ji's life experience)
