This young man named Wei Liao has his own understanding of war. He has his own strategy for strengthening the army and his own war strategy. This is still different from the Art of War, because the Art of War explains the battle formations.
, the method of fighting, but what Wei Liao said was more inclined to explain the war. He was explaining the war and telling the essence of the war. Zhao Kuo once talked about the relationship between politics and war, but now, this young man has
This is explained in detail again.
Wei Liao talked about how the country should obtain a strong army, how to conduct campaigns, when wars can be fought and when wars cannot be fought, including the impact of cultivated land and household registration on war. Zhao Kuo felt that he was not a general, he was more
He is like a military strategist. He has his own war theory and a mature military system, which is a very rare thing.
Wei Liao said: "The command of a general is very important in war. The general and the soldiers must be coordinated like the heart and limbs, so as to become a whole. Only then can they be strategically wise and decisively carry out correct command."
", He believes that whether a general is qualified depends on his commanding ability. Commanding ability is not eternal. If a general from the Qin State goes to the Zhao State, it is likely to be defeated because of the inability to coordinate. Therefore, the general
There is a need to get along with the soldiers.
After hearing his words, Ying Zheng said: "You said that a general needs to get along well with his own soldiers before he can defeat the enemy. However, Wu Chengjun was originally the commander-in-chief of the Zhao State, but he led the soldiers of the Qin State to defeat the coalition forces. This
How are you going to explain it?" Wei Liao was a little surprised. Although Ying Zheng always sat here in class, he didn't think much of the King of Qin in his heart. After all, he was too young. These days, he has always been
While observing Zhao Kuo, he ignored the little King of Qin.
At this moment, when King Qin asked, he did not dare to be too rude. He leaned over and bowed again, and then said: "Wu Chengjun must have used some method to quickly complete the running-in before the battle. Otherwise, he would also
It is impossible to defeat the coalition forces." Zhao Kuo then smiled and said: "He is right. When I went to Yin and Jin, I wanted to command the Qin army by commanding the Zhao army, but I found that it was impossible.
....”
"Therefore, I adopted the strategy they were most familiar with and completed the initial adjustment. In the subsequent battle, I told the two generals the strategy and let them fight alone without much interference."
Wei Liao couldn't help but sigh: "That's why I say that no general in the world can compare with you."
Listening to the conversation between Zhao Kuo and Wei Liao, the disciples around them found that they could not interrupt at all. They were not qualified to enter such a debate. Wei Liao continued to ask: "Wu Chengjun believes that the reason why Qin's army is so strong is
what is it then?"
"It's because of the system."
Wei Liao was stunned. Zhao Kuo was stealing the line. Wei Liao thought for a moment and then said: "I think the strength of Qin's army, as you said, is because of Qin's legal system and strict law enforcement.
Being neat and unified enables Qin's army to dare to climb mountains, fight across rivers, and attack strong cities all the way across the country, so that no one dares to stop it. Those who violate military discipline and military orders must be severely punished! Severe punishment for defeat,
Surrender and flee the generals and soldiers, so that everyone above and below will fear and concentrate on fighting the enemy!"
He said: "In addition to the legal system, we also need to constantly change our tactics to make our tactics more advanced. The advanced formations I know include introversion and extroversion; there are establishment formations and seated formations.
....", I don't know why, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses suddenly appeared in Zhao Kuo's mind, because when he was simulating the array in his mind according to what Wei Liao said, he suddenly realized that such an array resembled that of later generations.
The formation of the terracotta warriors and horses.
Wei Liao added: "You used to talk to others about the relationship between military and politics. I deeply agree. I think they are like the trunk and seeds of a plant. The so-called war is to use powerful force as one's body.
, with politics as its seed, force as its appearance, and politics as its essence...Without good politics, there cannot be strong military power, and military is a means to solve political problems."
"Production has the most important significance to the military. If you want to win the war, you need to be able to govern the country well and pay attention to farming. Only when the country is prosperous can the army become strong, and a country without a strong internal affairs system cannot win a war.
victorious."
Zhao Kuo nodded seriously. For Zhao Kuo, in fact, what Wei Liao said is not difficult to understand. Zhao Kuo has read a lot of art of war and participated in many wars. Combining what he learned in later generations,
Those contents, the strategies and tactics Wei Liao said may not be as good as those of Sun and Wu. But when Zhao Kuo heard Wei Liao's views on economic war, he knew that the person in front of him was no small matter.
Although his theory seems a bit immature to Zhao Kuo, he can be regarded as having his own set of ideas, such as the relationship between politics and military, the relationship between economy and military, and the relationship between education and military. These things are in
This era was relatively advanced, but what Zhao Kuo admired the most was the "Fortification Order" he proposed, which was a camp division order that stipulated the division of defense areas and the principles of communication for each army.
There is also the "Jingzhi Order", which is a battle formation order that stipulates the unique military flags of each army, the ranks of soldiers, and the wearing of different badges by different ranks.
Wei Liao's thoughts gave Zhao Kuo a new inspiration, and he immediately thought of military ranks. Speaking of which, the soldiers of the Qin State were easy to distinguish, and their titles could be distinguished by their crowns, but those who fought in the war
It is not that simple to distinguish clearly during the war, after all, most of them would not choose to wear the crown during the war. Zhao Kuo listened to Wei Liao finish all the thoughts in his heart, and then nodded.
Wei Liao looked at him and then asked with a smile: "What do you think of what I said?"
"What you said is very good...there are just a few points I want to explain to you."
Wei Liao was stunned for a moment, then said: "Please tell me."
"You mentioned using military methods to compensate for politics, but you did not mention using political methods to compensate for military affairs. When Wu'an Jun was still in the Qin State, he attacked other countries, and Yinghou sat in Qin State. He used political methods to supplement the military.
To put pressure on and alienate other countries...therefore, political maneuvering is also an indispensable part of the war." Zhao Kuo went on to talk about Wei Liao's shortcomings in several aspects.
Including his battle formations and strategies, Wei Liao has never fought in a war, and besides, he is not very old. This means that his theories are not completely mature, and there are still many gaps and loopholes. Of course,
This is not a big problem, after all, people will grow. When Zhao Kuo put forward his suggestions, Wei Liao was not angry or ashamed. He wrote down what Zhao Kuo said very seriously.
Zhao Kuo looked at him and then said with a smile: "Tomorrow, you can come with me to visit the Prime Minister." Wei Liao thanked him hurriedly, and then Zhao Kuo let the other disciples leave, leaving Wei Liao behind.
He came to continue discussing this matter. On the way out, Lord Changping showed hostility towards the young man. He said to King Qin: "What he did before was not to correct the teacher's shortcomings.
He just wants the teacher to recommend him."
Ying Zheng disagreed. He chuckled and said, "If a talented person doesn't find a way to use his talent, why should he wait for God to give him a chance? I don't think there is anything wrong with what he did.
My father agreed with him very much, so this person must be capable." Lord Changping didn't say anything more. He looked at Gongzi Zeng beside him, and then asked: "That person speaks like a Wei Guo.
The accent is the same as yours, do you know him?"
Gongzi Zeng was stunned, thought for a moment, and then said: "I don't know him, but his accent is indeed that of Daliang..." The few people continued walking, and Gongzi Zeng suddenly said again: "But even if we knew him before,
, I have probably forgotten it now. I can’t remember my mother’s face... When my mother passed away, I couldn’t go back. I haven’t seen my father for many years... I don’t know what happened to him.
That’s it..."
Mr. Changping suddenly became a little silent.
Ying Zheng felt this change, and he hurriedly said: "By the way, father said you can stay with me at home for a few days..." Ying Zheng looked at Qi and Changping Jun was stunned, and then asked: "Teacher
Did he really agree?" Ying Zheng laughed, "Of course, this is not a big deal. Several of my senior brothers live with my father all year round and ask for advice from him, including my senior brother.
That’s just eating and drinking around my father for several years, and he still eats a lot..."
"Ahem..." Mr. Changping coughed.
Ying Zheng turned around and saw Han Fei standing not far away, his brows furrowed and his face a little dark.
"Ah, senior brother, why are you here?"
"You...you...you said...who are you talking about eating and drinking?"
...
Wei Liao was a native of Wei. When he went to visit King Wei, King Wei didn't pay attention to him. He only focused on "quarreling" with Lord Long Yang. This made Wei Liao feel that he had been slighted and that King Wei was not a good person.
The king who was worthy of his service left the State of Wei, and then came to the State of Zhao. In the State of Zhao, he heard about the bad reputation of King Zhao, and then he came to the State of Qin without stopping.
Through Qin's migrant system, he passed the review and got land. Because he knew writing, he even entered a school to study. He himself was a noble of Wei, and a noble like him took the initiative to serve.
, usually he can still get good treatment, and even if he can show his greater talents, he can stay in Qin as a guest minister, but Wei Liao is not interested in these, he is just looking at Qin's system.
Immediately, he discovered that Qin's farming and warfare system was the best match for his military theory.
In order to realize his ambition, he finally thought of becoming an official through Wu Chengjun's influence, so he came to Zhao Kuo's school. Unfortunately, he was a little fascinated by the lectures. After staying here for more than four months, he just forgot about himself.
His original purpose was not until Zhao Kuo talked about the soldiers of benevolence and righteousness today that he woke up and deliberately attracted Zhao Kuo's attention, hoping that Zhao Kuo could recommend him.
Zhao Kuo also understood his thoughts, but since he was talented, Zhao Kuo was also willing to recommend him. Zhao Kuo brought him to Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei was a little surprised when he saw that Zhao Kuo had brought a young man, and
Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "Qin has many brave generals, but it lacks only one wise man who can formulate military laws and improve military systems."
"Wei Liao who came with me today is such a person..." Zhao Kuo commented a few words, and his evaluation was indeed very high. This made Lu Buwei very curious about this young man.
The young man paused, knowing that it was time for his assessment. Lu Buwei smiled and asked him a few questions, ranging from Qin's current military system, to Qin's future strategy, and even to the training system and the composition of the soldiers.
The advance of the army, the formulation of tactics...
From the initial probing to the end, Lu Buwei was really asking, and no matter what he asked, Wei Liao could answer it, and both Lu Buwei and Zhao Kuo were very satisfied.
All this made Lu Buwei couldn't help but sigh: He is indeed the person recommended by Wu Chengjun.
This kind of question and answer lasted for a long time. After Wei Liao answered all the questions, Lu Buwei stretched out his hand, held his hand, and said to him: "Please stay in Qin...
There is such a talented person but I did not promote him earlier. This is my fault as the prime minister. Please forgive me." Lu Buwei really did not hesitate in doing things. Lu Buwei directly issued an order to arrange this young man.
When he arrived at the Taiwei's side, he became the Taiwei's deputy.
After Wei Liao left, Lu Buwei looked at Zhao Kuo and said with a smile: "I still need more talents to assist the king and govern Qin. Is there anyone else you can recommend?"
This was the first time that Zhao Kuo came to recommend talents. Lu Buwei showed enough attention. Zhao Kuo thought about it seriously and then said: "Mr. Changping, he is serious about his work. If he works hard at the bottom for a period of time, he will definitely have great achievements."
Achieved."
Lu Buwei hesitated for a moment and then said with a smile: "He is the son of the current King of Chu. He may go back to inherit the throne in the future. I'm afraid Qin will not be able to keep him."
"He grew up in the Chu Kingdom... I don't think he has much affection for the King of Chu. I'm afraid he has no intention of returning to the Chu Kingdom to inherit the throne."
"By the way, do you already know about General Lian Po's departure?"
"Do you think we can invite General Lian Po to Qin?"
