Chapter 565: Cowardly to Fight in Public, Brave to Hold a Stab! The End of the Universe Is the Establishment!
Facing the confused eyes, Ying Chengyu's voice became thicker and he said sadly: "Do you think that being brave and fighting is a good thing than being ruthless as a soldier?"
"What we need are elite soldiers!"
"Not a bunch of rangers!"
"Everyone knows that bravery belongs to the people of Qi, not the army of Qi!"
"What's the reason?"
"The sergeants of other countries help each other, but the sergeants of the Qi army are fighting on their own!"
"All armies in the world are armies, and the Qi army alone is just a group of Qi people gathered together in one place."
"Unable to cooperate, no help, difficult to form, lots of mistakes!"
"How to win?"
"Generals, please tell me how the Qi army will win?!"
Due to the geographical environment of the border between Qi State and Dongyi, the warrior culture shaped by famous figures such as Tian Kaijiang, the deliberate guidance of generations of monarchs and ministers such as Duke Huan of Qi, and the method of obtaining brave titles in Qi State, the people of Qi developed unique character traits.
Just as Gong Sui, the governor of Bohai County in the Western Han Dynasty, commented, the people of Qi hated farming in the fields, lived a luxurious life, respected heroes and celebrities, and liked to hone their martial arts, hunt wild beasts, be righteous and heroic, and serve as officials. They were admired by both young and old. Sword, the folk custom is extremely tough.
In addition, Qi Ren's height, physique and other physical qualities are all superior, how could Qi Ren be weak?
Looking at all the countries, the Qi people's individual combat capabilities are at least among the top three!
Unfortunately, this is a good thing and a bad thing.
Just like Sima Qian's evaluation of the people of Qi today who are "cowardly in fighting in public and brave in holding thorns".
The Qi people's admiration for individual heroism has also contributed to the Qi people's disdain for overall coordinated operations. Even in civil conflicts, they will consciously catch and kill each other. If they use more to bully the less, then even if they kill the enemy, they will die in society - — Forced to commit suicide by social criticism!
This caused the Qi army to go on an expedition as if a group of moral and upright martial arts masters were fighting against the regular army of the imperial court.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the total number of troops invested by both sides in the war was not much, and the Qi army with strong individual strength could always win a crushing victory.
But in the past few hundred years, the scale of wars between heroes has rapidly jumped from tens of thousands to millions.
It becomes increasingly difficult for the Qi army, which is not good at coordinated operations and protracted warfare, to regain its former glory!
Facing Ying Chengyu's heartbreaking and sincere questioning, Tian Zhen and other generals lowered their heads.
Zhai Lin was still unconvinced: "I, Sergeant Daqi, have always been so bloody and brave."
"My great Qi Anpingjun (Tian Dan) and other generals have also led our Qi army to victory in repeated battles and impressed all directions!"
"The general believes that our Qi army is indeed different from the soldiers of other countries, but as long as it is used properly, it is the strongest army in the world!"
Don't talk nonsense!
I, Sergeant Daqi, have always been like this, it is very difficult for the Qi army!
Sometimes I look for my own reasons. Has my ability improved over the years? Have you ever seriously fought?
Other generals can lead my Qi army to victory, why are you the only one who has so many problems?
Ying Chengyu responded directly: "Since General Zhai is so confident, why don't you come as the commander?"
Zhai Lin's heart was pounding.
Mom!
The handsome man fell from the sky!
And you don’t need to spend any money to buy it yourself!
But after thinking about Tianjia's experience, Zhai Lin still reluctantly handed over his hand and said: "How can a general do such a thing?"
"The Prime Minister is joking!"
Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "I never thought that I could be compared with Anpingjun, Kuangzi (Kuangzhang) and other generals."
"What they can do, they will never be able to do!"
"But Ben will have his own way."
"No matter what, I can bring victory to Qi in this battle!"
Ying Chengyu looked around at all the Qi generals: "Is there any general who can achieve this feat?"
"If there is, I will be willing to give in to the superior!"
Ying Chengxuan spoke very calmly, and was not afraid that generals who could not grasp the situation would come out to fight for power.
This is not his country after all.
Even if the two kingdoms of Qi and Chu beat the dog's brains out, what would they have to do with Ying Chenglong?
But Tian Zhen is different!
Afraid that some weak-minded person would really dare to fight for power, Tian Zhen immediately handed over his hand: "Why did the left prime minister say this?"
"Since the monarchs and ministers of our Da Qi have unanimously decided to ask the Zuo Prime Minister to coach this battle, it is because we, the whole Da Qi, believe that only the Zuo Prime Minister can bring our Da Qi a great victory in this battle!"
"Please, Prime Minister Zuo, don't be dissatisfied because of some remarks from the generals."
"I would also like to ask Zuo Xiang to remember that Zuo Xiang is now my Da Qi Zuo Xiang. He is inferior to two people and superior to ten thousand people!"
"When the war comes, in addition to the king and the prime minister, everyone in our country should be driven by the left prime minister."
"If Prime Minister Zuo has a plan, Prime Minister Zuo can do something about it!"
Tian Zhen didn't know why Ying Chengqiu said these words.
But Tian Zhen knew that Ying Chengyu would not be aimless, and Ying Chengyu would definitely seek something from these words!
And what Ying Chengyu wants must be to win this battle.
In this case, why should Tian Zhen think too much?
Victory is the common interest of Qi State and Ying Chengyu!
So Tian Zhen is reminding Ying Chengyu, stop using the mentality of a foreign minister to deal with problems, you are the left prime minister of Da Qi.
If you are dissatisfied with Zhai Lin?
No need to say more!
You give the order and I will help you get him!
Ying Chengyu returned the gift with his hands raised: "I will never forget this."
"It's just that last year, I only led troops from the five capitals. Today I can see the true appearance of the Qi army."
"I have some ideas in mind, but I still need some time to perfect them."
"It's just that this general will not hesitate to admit that if we want to win, we will cut out the flesh in a big way."
"Young Master, please go ahead and report to the King of Qi on behalf of my general. I will make a plan based on the King of Qi's wishes."
Tian Zhen's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.
No wonder Ying Chengyu said so much.
The reason for co-writing is because the changes Ying Chengyu wants to make cannot even be covered by the official position of left prime minister!
Without hesitation, Tian Zhen handed over his hand directly: "I will return to the palace immediately and report to the king!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Zhen pinched the horse's belly, turned around and left.
Ying Chengyu looked around at the generals again: "Generals, just go and rest."
"I will spend this night thinking hard and not seeing anyone else."
Zhai Lin, Tang Jiu and other generals looked at each other and bowed their hands with different expressions: "Wei!"
A good welcome ceremony failed to do the job.
The wine and food prepared by Tian Zhen also waited for a long time.
The generals of the Qi army dispersed in twos and threes with various thoughts, and Ying Chengyu returned to the camp belonging to the Qin army together with the soldiers of the Qin army.
After entering the Qin army's tent, Ying Chengyu asked: "Why does the king's general teach me?"
Wang Jian was delighted: "Look what Chang'an Lord said!"
"The last general has only gained years in vain, so why teach Chang Anjun!"
We are just a little lieutenant, why do we care so much?
Not only will it make many mistakes, but it may also annoy people.
Why say more?
Ying Chengyu bowed his hands and said, "I know how much I can do."
"With Yu Qimou, I still have some ability."
"But with this strategy, the king's general can actually be my teacher!"
"Your Majesty, General, are you enjoying joking with me?"
Seeing that Ying Chengyu really wanted to ask for advice, the smile on Wang Jian's face did not change, but he finally said something that spoke to his heart: "Mr. Chang'an said this, the general's face turned red!"
"Ashamed! Really ashamed!"
"The general just thinks that Lord Chang'an only focuses on war."
"Then there is no need to consider reforms or restructuring."
"As Lord Chang'an said, you and I are here just for victory, not for Qi."
"As long as you can win, that's all. There's no need to take the position of left prime minister too seriously."
"Otherwise..." Wang Jian paused, and the smile on his face became less frivolous and more sincere: "When Qin Qi clashes in the future, Lord Chang'an will also be in trouble!"
The problems that Ying Chengyu saw could also be seen by Wang Jian.
But in Wang Jian's view, this is an absolutely systemic problem.
Qin people can get military merits when they kill the enemy on the battlefield. If their comrades or subordinates Paoze die in battle, their military merits will be deducted. After the war, if the total military merits reach the standard, they can get a title.
But Qi people can only get monetary rewards for killing enemies on the battlefield.
If a Qi person wants to get a title, they must either perform outstanding single-person feats such as killing generals, capturing flags, or ascending first on the battlefield, or they must be introduced to the King of Qi by dignitaries and win in battles with other warriors. There is no need to cooperate with Pao Ze to fight.
The people of Qin and Qi have different personalities, but they all fit in with the country's long-term promotion system.
In the final analysis, everyone is just here for the preparation!
If you want to change the fighting style of Qi people, you can only change Qi's basic promotion system.
Not to mention whether Ying Chengyu has this ability.
Even if Ying Chengyu succeeds, what's the need?
Wouldn’t this cause trouble to Da Qin!
Ying Chengxuan immediately said: "General Wang, don't worry, I have no idea of touching Qi's system."
"If I do this, I will only be trapped in the army!"
Wang Jian's thoughts flashed: "Since Lord Chang'an said this, you must have a plan in mind, right?"
"Can you tell me something frankly, General?"
"The general is really itchy and unbearable!"
Ying Chengqiao smiled and said: "I am asking for advice from General Wang. Why would General Wang ask me first?"
"It would be better if you and I wrote down our thoughts on paper."
"Show together."
"How is it?"
Ying Chengyu knew very well that no matter what Wang Jian had in mind, as soon as Ying Chengyu's strategy was revealed and there was a possibility of success, Wang Jian would quickly abandon his own strategy and support Ying Chengyu's strategy.
Unless Ying Chengyu's strategy is too outrageous and completely unfeasible, Wang Jian will tactfully refute his strategy.
How can this be done!
What Ying Chengyu needs is a thigh, not a yes-man!
Wang Jian glanced at Ying Chengyu helplessly, and the smile on his face was a little more forced: "Mr. Chang'an..."
"good!"
"Very good!"
"General Mo, go get the Chang'an paper right now!"
Wang Jian took two pieces of Chang'an paper and polished the ink himself.
Then Ying Chengxuan and Wang Jian held pens together and wrote a paragraph on Chang'an paper.
After drying the ink, Ying Chengyu folded his Chang'an paper in half and looked at Wang Jian with a smile: "General, can you show me your strategy?"
Wang Jian held his own note in his hand, looked straight at the paper in Ying Chengyu's hand, and nodded with a smile: "Of course! Of course!"
The two folded pieces of Chang'an paper were unfolded at the same time, revealing two different passages.
‘The best troops and generals will be reduced, and I will be able to move to Qin! ’
‘Overwhelm all armies, use your strengths and avoid your weaknesses! ’
