Chapter 209 A series of changes caused by active spiritual energy
As the Yueshi were destroyed, countless horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock, as well as slaves, were sent to Xianyang in a steady stream.
Wang Jian's name also appeared for the first time on the throne of the kings of the Six Kingdoms.
However, except for Zhao Kuo, other monarchs did not pay attention to Wang Jian.
In this era, defeating a foreign talent is not something worth bragging about. It is like a junior high school student beating an elementary school student. It is normal to win, but it is embarrassing to lose.
In the eyes of most people, Wang Jian's contribution to defeating the Yuezhi is not as great as Hangu Pass's contribution to repelling Jin Bi. After all, Jin Bi was also a famous general in Wei.
"Of the three famous generals at the end of the Warring States Period, Li Mu has already taken charge, and Wang Jian has also begun to show his prominence. I wonder when Xiang Yan will become famous." Zhao Kuo thought to himself as he looked at the information in his hand.
It's not that he hasn't thought about poaching Xiang Yan, but the Xiang family has a very high status in Chu State. Only under the Qu, Jing, and Zhao clans, it controls a lot of power in Chu State. The children of the clan can directly become officials when they reach adulthood.
, and then rise all the way up, reaching the highest level of Shangzhu Kingdom.
Xiang Yan's opportunities and treatment in Chu State were better than those in Zhao State, so he did not choose to leave his hometown.
In addition, the State of Zhao now has no shortage of famous generals. Zhao Kuo sent someone to contact Xiang Yan and did not force him after he was rejected. He only sent some gifts as a way of establishing a relationship.
Now that Zhao and Chu are allied, the Xiang family and the Jing family are strong supporters of joining forces to fight against Qin. Even if it is not for Xiang Yan, they must maintain good relations with the two clans.
The Chu State is different from the Zhao State. The Chu State's clans are very powerful. Even the King of Chu has nothing to do with them, and they can even influence the king's decision.
"The king seems to attach great importance to this Wang Jian." Le Yi said.
"Except for Li Mu, among the younger generation of generals in our Zhao Kingdom, no one can compare with this person." Zhao Kuo said.
Everyone's expressions suddenly became more solemn. Everyone knew that Zhao Kuo was very accurate in judging people. Those who he said were powerful would definitely be powerful. There was no surprise.
"Can't the boy from the Meng family also do it?" Tian Dan raised his head and asked, he was very optimistic about Meng Wu.
"It's difficult." Zhao Kuo said.
Although Meng Wu was taught by his father Meng Ao, Tian Dan, Le Yi and others, Wang Jian also studied with his uncle Wang Lu, Bai Qi, Sima Cuo and others, and his educational resources were no worse than Meng Wu's.
Moreover, Wang Jian already possessed the talent and even destroyed the Yuezhi. Meng Wu had never led an army alone in battle.
There is a reason why Meng Wu is a few years younger than Wang Jian, but in things like strength, there is a step-by-step difference.

Unless Meng Wu's talent is much higher than Wang Jian's, he will never be able to catch up.
But can Meng Wu's talent be much higher than that of Wang Jian? It's obviously impossible.
When Tian Dan heard this, although he didn't say anything, he was still a little dissatisfied. He decided to call Meng Wu over after returning and teach him well.
"We, the people of Qi, will definitely not be worse than the people of Qin and Zhao!" Tian Dan thought in his mind.
"Okay, let's not talk about Wang Jian anymore, let's continue talking about the battle formation." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said.
Just now, Zhao Kuo and others were discussing matters that Qin had discussed some time ago.
Yesterday, Li Mu received news from northern Xinjiang that the Huns were attacking Yanmen. There were war clouds among the army, but fortunately they had been repulsed.
After testing, the Zhan Yun of the Xiongnu army had no other effect except suppressing the Zhao army.
Lin Xiangru Le Yi and others analyzed that it should be caused by the recent activeness of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the decrease in the difficulty of forming war clouds. It should be the same when Zhao Qi formed an alliance last time.
"In this way, the strength of the Hu people will probably be greatly improved." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.
Everyone also thought of this result, and their faces were a little ugly.
Yan Zhou sighed: "In the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat the barbarians one at a time, five at a time, or even ten at a time."
"Not necessarily." Le Yi said suddenly.
Everyone looked at Le Yi.
"Recently, I was studying the records of Wu Zi, the sub-sage sent by Wei State, who trained the Wei soldiers. I found that in addition to integrating talents and battle formations into the Wei soldiers, Wu Zi also paid great attention to letting the soldiers practice different formations."
"After many tests, I found that under different formations, the effect of the battle formation is also different. The statistical results using the statistical method handed over by the king show that the same use of the Immovable Mountain Formation, forming a circular formation increases the defensive points
The defense increase is about 30% higher than that of forming a square formation, and about 50% higher than that of forming a long snake formation. Moreover, the improvement effect is more obvious through the training of elite legions."
"Later, I tested my own chaotic formation and found that the trained soldiers had greater interference and damage effects on the enemy's formation."
"Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why Wei Wuzu is stronger than other legions as a military soul legion." Le Yi said.
"As a result, the requirements for the elite level of the legion will be higher." Tian Dan said thoughtfully.
He doesn't care whether the legion is elite or not, as long as he obeys the orders, when he is fighting with his talent, even if the opposite side is a military spirit legion, he will still follow suit.
"Not bad." Le Yi nodded.
"Ordinary legions and miscellaneous soldiers cannot follow the general's command to change formations in time and can only be used as auxiliary troops. The ability of elite legions to crush miscellaneous soldiers has once again increased. Similarly, the role of the general's personal force has also been reduced again.
.”
No one had any reaction. Personal force is not very useful on the battlefield. After all, who would be a normal person to fight in a duel? Anyone who screams and fights in a duel is not a normal person.
"No wonder Wu Ziyin was able to defeat Qin's 500,000-strong army with 50,000 Wei warriors in the Battle of Jin." Lian Po suddenly realized.
Wu Qi's understanding of military affairs was two levels ahead of the world at that time. In addition, he was leading Wei soldiers who were created by himself. No matter how many people came to the Qin army, they would die.
"In addition, another impact is that the role of chariots has been greatly weakened. It is too difficult for chariots to change formations on the battlefield, even more difficult than cavalry. They can only rush forward and even make turns.
No. When the infantry and cavalry are strengthened at the same time, the tank that has not been strengthened is equivalent to being weakened." Le Yi said.
One more thing he didn't say was that tanks are easily damaged.
Even if the manufacturing technology is continuously improved, tanks will still break axles. On the battlefield, once there is a problem with a tank, the entire war may be lost.
Now is not the time when the enemy would repair and push the enemy's tank when the enemy's tank broke down.
They are eager to see your chariot broken down, and then take the opportunity to capture or kill you.
In addition, chariots have very strict requirements for the terrain, which must be a vast plain, not suitable for mountains or water. When encountering an uphill slope, they have to push down, and when encountering a downhill slope, they cannot brake.
This is one of the reasons why wars in the Spring and Autumn Period were dominated by chariots, but after the Warring States Period, infantry was the main one, with chariots as a supplement.
"This is a good thing for our Zhao country." Pang Nuan said.
Zhao is good at cavalry, and its infantry is also stronger than the other five countries except Qin. In this way, Zhao's dominance will be more stable.
