In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

Tian Xiang's general obeisance ceremony is many times more beautiful than Xia Yu's teacher obeisance ceremony.

The government followed the ceremony of worshiping generals, bathed and fasted, and then summoned all the military officers of the government to read the executive order on the high platform, appointed Tian Xiang as the chief general of retreating from Vietnam, with the same rank as the general, and awarded tiger charms, seals, ribbons, axes, and three sacrifices When offering sacrifices to the heavens, there are wizards praying while "jumping the gods". Finally, divination, the wizard explains the hexagrams - if you are lucky, you will be able to win the battle.

Xia Yu, who was watching the ceremony with a group of ministers, was about to doze off. She forced her eyelids to watch the supposedly famous sorcerer breaking divinations and saying how auspicious it would be. She thought very boringly, even if It's an ominous hexagram, it's so ominous that it's dead, so do wizards really dare to say it?It is estimated that we still have to talk about good luck.

After the salute to the general, according to the etiquette, the deputy general needs to ride with the chief general, so Xia Yu naturally rides with Tian Xiang. Taking a light, his mouth never stopped: "I have read military books since I was a child, studied the art of war hard, and I have always admired the bravery on the battlefield... The following five hundred words are omitted to describe that I envy the generals who lead the army..., but I grow up Cheng, who has been at his father's side all year round, governing the country, has never tried military affairs, and feels very regretful in his heart. He often thinks about this, and he can't feel peaceful... The following five hundred words are omitted to express his inner sorrow..., I have to worship now General, why don’t I dare to do my best to serve the government and comfort the old man’s expectation that my father has worked hard for my Tian family all his life... The five hundred words are omitted below to show filial piety... If you can’t be loyal and wise... five hundred words are omitted below Expressing hard work..."

Blah blah blah, all the way down, Tian Xiang's mouth never stopped, and the words were not repetitive. If someone recorded it, it would immediately become a beautiful, inspirational, filial piety, and touching prose.

What was Xia Yu doing at this moment? He fell asleep, really fell asleep, propped his head on his hands, lay on his knees, and slept soundly.

This cannot be blamed on him, for so many days in a row, checking the final list of officer appointments with Tian Biao day and night. Gongsi Gongcheng, who promoted him, how many people in his family, whether he is trustworthy, and whether he is reliable in his work, all know clearly, how can he not be tired.

Coupled with Tian Xiang's seemingly endless hypnotic effect comparable to Tang Seng, Xia Yu fell asleep in a grandiose manner. In fact, Xia Yu thought that anyone who didn't take the opportunity to catch up on sleep at this time must be a fool.

Walking all the way, he didn't go back directly to the Prince's Mansion, but went to the Grand Master's Mansion. Firstly, Xia Yu lives in the Grand Master's Mansion, so it is only natural to send Xia Yu back to the residence at this time. Second, although Tian Xiang paid homage to the general , Excited to be excited, I still have no idea in my heart, I want to discuss with Taishi Tian Biao.

So when they arrived at the gate of the Grand Master's Mansion, Tian Xiang woke up the dazed Xia Yu, and the two entered the mansion together. At this time, you still refuse to tell me the details."

At this moment, Xia Yu suddenly stopped, turned her head, and looked at Tian Xiang. She just stared at Tian Xiang for a long time, staring at Tian Xiang a little hairy, and almost couldn't help touching her cheeks. , Just when Tian Xiang couldn't help asking Xia Yu what he was looking at, Xia Yu said, "General, do you want to defeat the enemy?"

Tian Xiang said: "Of course I want to!"

Xia Yu said: "Then can I ask the general for a favor?"

Tian Xiang said: "You said, as long as I can defeat the enemy, I will do anything."

Xia Yu stared at Tian Xiang at this time, and said in a tone that was almost gnashing her teeth: "Shut up from now on! Don't talk! Just watch!"

Tian Xiang: ⊙﹏⊙‖∣

training ground.

Tian Xiang was sitting upright on the Gaotai Commander's case, but he was just sitting there, the one who really spoke at this time was Xia Yu, his first deputy.

As a lieutenant general, Xia Yu asked Tian Xiang to mobilize several troops to gather in the training ground. All members wore three layers of armor, held twelve stone bows, carried fifty arrows and spears on their backs, wore swords on their waists, and carried enough food for three days. Food and grass, and then run around the field, from morning to noon, those who can run a hundred miles will stay, and immediately reward each person with ten gold for wounding, promotion to sergeant, and their households are exempt from tax.

In this way, more than [-] people were selected as military soldiers.

Later, Xia Yu asked Tian Xiang to order dozens of divisions to select those who were good at archery, and set up arrow targets.

In this way, 8000 people are selected, which are called crossbowmen.

Afterwards, Xia Yu asked Tian Xiang to gather those who are good at sailing boats in the army to test their skills in small boats in the waterways of the city. Those who pull out the boat quickly but the sound of the water is quiet, those who ride the boat like walking on flat ground, and those who are good at water will be rewarded with two dollars per person. Ten gold.

3000 people were selected in this way, and each person was given [-] gold.

You must know that it is very difficult to select so many people who are good at water and good at sailing boats in the army. It is very difficult in the Central Plains countries, but in Qi State, a country that is close to the East China Sea and rich in fishing and salt, it is relatively relatively good. easy.

Tian Xiang, who sat silently on the commander's platform, could understand these orders. After all, selecting strong soldiers and archers who are good at archery is the basis of military training. Xiang is at a loss——Xia Yuzuo asks Tian Xiang, as the governor of the state, to conquer the farmers, and gather together [-] cattle and [-] tans of fat.

After all, he was training soldiers on the commander's platform at this time, and Tian Xiang knew that his eyes were smeared in military matters, so it was naturally inconvenient to question Xia Yu's request publicly, and it was also inconvenient to ask publicly. I understand, but at this time, I still pretended to agree to Xia Yu's request, and sent attendants to summon the governor's official, and ordered the confiscation of farmers, cattle and oil.

Fortunately, the Linzi government treasury has a lot of stock, which can be directly transferred, but in the past, in Linzi city, except for the nobles and nobles, they were "citizens". Where can we find so many farmers farming cattle?Fortunately, at this time, the Yue State was besieging the city, and many peasants from the surrounding country fled into the city, and there were also many families in the city who used oxen to drive carts.

Xia Yu frowned, and even ordered the recruiting officer to be beaten again with thirty military sticks. Seeing that it was his own officer who had been beaten, Tian Xiang wanted to ask for mercy, but Xia Yu stared at him and choked him back, refusing to speak. The official who was crying for his father and mother was dragged down with thirty army sticks, and then Xia Yu asked for a second order that Tian Xiang was very puzzled about, which was to let the farmer who was conscripted take the cattle away. Domestication, after seven days, check the results.

After getting off the commander's platform and returning to the commander's tent, Xia Yu summoned Gongsi Gongcheng, who made crossbows in the government, and divided them into thirty groups. Each group of Gongcheng was awarded a silk book. Tian Xiang caught a glimpse of lines on it. Drawings, like mechanical drawings.

Xia Yu ordered the different craftsmen to separate the craftsmen in different workshops, and within seven days to make the things drawn on the blueprints, all the tools were required to be on the silk books. With swollen fingers, I thought to myself: The days without printers and quill pens and bamboo chips as drawing tools are really unbearable.

After a series of instructions, Tian Xiang felt a little dizzy. Seeing that everyone, no matter whether they were scholars or warriors, took the order, Xia Yu was also lying on the couch rubbing her legs and hands in a very disfigured way. Don't worry about embarrassment at this time, Tian Xiang couldn't help but opened his mouth and said: "Just now, my subordinate official, I have always known him as a man, and he has always been dedicated to his work. There are not so many cattle in Linzi city, and there is no way to get them together. Why do you insist on Hit him with a baton."
