Chapter 23 The Invincible Army
Chapter 23: The Invincible Army
This is indeed the holy land of China or the holy land among the holy lands!
Although the Qin Dynasty was called "tyrant Qin" by later generations, and although Qin Shihuang called him "tyrant" by later generations, he was so decent, but what could leave the Qin Dynasty? Who could leave the influence of Qin Shihuang?
Not to mention anything else, the square characters we use come from the Qin Dynasty and from Qin Shihuang. Qin State was the first to use Zhuwen. After Qin Shihuang unified China, he decided to unify the characters based on the fact that each country had its own characters and was inconvenient. Only by summoning scholars from all over the world to create new characters can we have the current square characters.
At that time, all countries had civilizations of various countries. The importance of civilization to a nation was self-evident. This was the fundamental reason. If there was no unified civilization, China could only be temporarily unified and would soon split and fall into war again, similar to Europe. Qin Shihuang unified civilization based on the civilization of Qin. Therefore, Qin civilization, the mainstream of Chinese civilization, is still in use today.
Others, such as the county system and the unified pattern, are still in use?
All of this originated from the Qin Dynasty and the Qin army, and all began in this valley. Without this valley, there would be no Qin army that could conquer and fight well, and without the invincible army of Qin Shihuang, how could the Chinese unification come about?
There is no China now!
The Han Dynasty's understanding of the importance of Qin Shihuang's unification of China was far less than that of Zhou Yang, a modern person. Zhou Yang's excitement was far beyond the description of his writing. It was an emotion that only those believers could enter the holy land.
Li Guang saw Zhou Yang's excitement in his eyes, and was not surprised. Anyone who came here for the first time would be excited. Isn't Li Guang also excited?
Looking at Gongsun He and Gongsun Jian, aren’t it also so excited?
These Han people had far less understanding of the importance of Qin Shihuang's unification of China than Zhou Yang. However, it was in this valley that a large army was born, which created countless glory and legends. If the Han Dynasty could also train such an army, how could the Huns run rampant?
The main task of their trip was to prepare for the training of the new Han army. How could they not be excited when they were here?
"Master General, this monument is called the Canglong Monument." Li Guang pointed out the monument and explained to Zhou Yang.
"Canglong Monument?" Zhou Yang was surprised that a stone tablet actually had such a loud name.
"Yes, it's the Canglong Monument!" Li Guangwei nodded: "My ancestors said that when they were training troops that day, Mr. Xiao came here and wrote this song on this monument with his finger blood, and turned into a Canglong. Grand Marshal, look, doesn't this monument have a Canglong spirit?"
There was indeed a huge pressure on the stone tablet, but Zhou Yang did not agree with the fact that Xiao Gong turned into Canglong. More than two hundred years have passed by Shang Yang's reforms, and many legends will definitely be produced.
Instead of believing in these, it is better to believe in the truth of sincerity. The metal and stone are opened. Qin Xiaogong decided to reform, saying that blood condensed his essence, so that this monument and such pressure can be achieved.
"That day, the wind and clouds were gone, and the thunder and lightning flashed." Ding Jun took the conversation, his tone was a little high. Although he was talking about the previous dynasty, he was extremely excited: "At that time, Qin was already in the state of destruction. Wei State had Wei Wushou, and Wu Qi fought in Hexi for five battles and seized a large area of Hexi. Although the land of Hexi was a little far from Guanzhong, it was the land of Qin. In addition, the terrain here was high, which was a barrier to Guanzhong, which was a huge threat to Qin."
"In order to recover the land of Hexi, the people of Qin continued to fight for decades, but because of the existence of Wei Wushu, although they fought bravely and did not consider life and death, they were futile."
Shaking his head, Ding Jun looked regretful: "In order to recover Hexi, how much the price is for Qin State, you only need to listen to their war songs to know. 'Old Qin will regain my rivers and mountains. Blood will not flow dry, and you will not stop fighting'. Regain my rivers and mountains means the land of Hexi. In order to recover Hexi, they would rather shed blood dry, what a heroic style it is!"
As a soldier, I admire this spirit of unwillingness to surrender, not only but also admire.
Think about the current Han Dynasty, which is somewhat similar to the situation at that time. The Huns suppressed the Han Dynasty for decades. In order to defeat the Huns, the soldiers did not care about life and death and went to their deaths. What a heroic spirit!
After sighing for a while, he continued to say: "Although the previous dynasty was violent, they fought, but they were admirable! The battle was like a mountain of corpses, blood flowing into a river, and they were defeated again and again. They still did not give up the idea of regaining Hexi. They were working hard and bleeding! As a result, they lost Hangu Pass and lost a lot of Guanzhong land. At that time, there was very little land in Qin State and had become a small prince. Shang Yang's reforms had one, asking the people of Qin State to guard the border and arrive within ten days. If the time was delayed, they would have to be severely affected. With the situation at that time, ten days were enough to reach anywhere in Qin State. It would be a pity that a great prince who had won the Central Plains had fallen to such a level."
Duke Mu of Qin was domineering, and that was a great vassal state, and it was terrifying that he had fallen into a situation where he had not even had a journey of ten days.
Zhou Yang's history was not good enough, and he didn't know anything about this. He thought that before Shang Yang's reform, Qin State had a vast territory. Unexpectedly, Qin State had reached the point of destruction.
It was at this critical moment that Qin State changed and finally unified China. This is a miracle, an amazing miracle!
Ding Jun is very familiar with this history, perhaps because he has been in this valley for a long time: "Pang Juan saw that Qin had reached the last moment, and he only needed to give Qin another blow to destroy Qin. If Qin was destroyed, Wei would have no worries and could strive to dominate the world and even unify the country. He was entangled with the six countries in Shandong and planned to destroy Qin, but King Huiwen of Wei had no ambitions and just wanted to be a lord, missing a good opportunity."
No matter how good the opportunity is, it will be useless if you don’t take action.
"Although King Huiwen of Wei had no ambitions, Qin Xiaogong was ambitious and vowed to strengthen Qin and issue an edict to seek talents to recruit talents from all over the world." Ding Jun was very familiar with this history and said many secrets that later generations did not know: "At that time, the strongest was Wei State, who inherited the relic of Wei State and was the overlord of Wei State. Most of the talents rushed to Wei State to serve in Wei State and wanted to serve in Wei State. Shang Yang was also in Wei State at that time, and was the son of the Central Concubine. Pang Juan had the intention to recruit him. Shang Yang used his skills and was domineering and cruel, but his vision was very unique. After he received the edict of King Xiaogong of Qin, he praised him as a heroic literary mantra that had not been seen in five hundred years. He entered Qin alone on a horse, so that Shang Yang's reforms and Qin State became stronger."
Li Guang took the conversation and continued: "After the reform of Qin, the first thing to do is to recover the lost territory and regain Hangu Pass. These lands are in the hands of Wei. Wei State has strong national strength and Wei Wushu is good at fighting. It is not easy to regain lost territory. It is necessary to have an army that can conquer and fight well. Shang Yang ordered the national lieutenant Che Ying to train troops in this valley."
"This Che Ying must be a great talent, otherwise it would be impossible to train such a warlike army!" Cheng Bushi didn't know much about this secret history and praised him loudly.
This is exactly what Zhou Yang wants to say, nodding in agreement.
"Haha!" Li Guang held his beard and smiled happily: "General Cheng, you were wrong, it was not Che Ying, but Shang Yang. If my ancestors were not generals of the previous dynasty, I wouldn't know these things."
"Shang Yang? Are you saying that the Qin army was made by Shang Yang?" Zhou Yang was a little surprised.
"That's right!" Ding Jun nodded and said, "Everyone knows that Shang Yang is a legalist, but he doesn't know that Shang Yang is an extremely powerful military strategist."
"Shang Yang is a military strategist?"
Zhou Yang and the others heard this for the first time. Zhou Yang, Cheng Bushi, Gongsun He, and Gongsun Jian questioned each other in unison.
"Shang Yang is not only a military strategist, but also a leader in military strategist!" Li Guang's thumbs up to the sky: "General Ding, you should talk about this. You are more familiar with me."
Ding Jun responded and began to talk about this anecdote in the shock and suspicion of Zhou Yang and others: "Shang Yang was the master of Mr. Guigu. He first learned military geniuses and then learned legalists. After he was born, he first sought an official in Wei State, but was not valued. It happened that Xiao Gong recruited talents and then entered Qin. The words "The country was in trouble and there was no need for external affairs. The Three Jins attacked and seized my ancestor Hexi, and the princes were inferior to Qin, which was extremely ugly." This was a very touching incident in the Qin Dynasty. The kings of Qin in all dynasties dared not speak of it, but Xiao Gong wrote it in the imperial edict for seeking talents. This mind is amazing!"
The scandal of the emperor is an untouchable zone, and even if it is not good, it must be said that it is good. Qin and Wei have fought for decades, and the number of defeats can be imagined. It involves generations of monarchs. Who dares to mention it?
However, Duke Xiao of Qin wrote the edict to seek talents, and this vision was really touching. Shang Yang's entry into Qin was inevitable, and Zhou Yang was deeply moved.
In the praise of Zhou Yang and others, Ding Jun continued: "In order to train the new army, Shang Yang worked hard to eliminate the Qin army of the six countries. The most important thing is the Qin army's phalanx. Everyone knows that the phalanx of the previous dynasty is extremely powerful, and it is invincible in the battle, but few people know that this is from Shang Yang!"
It is not unaware that Zhou Yang's history is not good enough. The halberd formation used by Zhou Yang in the Great Wall Battle absorbed the advantages of the halberd formation. Zhou Yang used the halberd formation and did not know in advance that there was a halberd formation in the halberd formation, out of his own idea. However, Li Guang and Feng Jing introduced him to the advantages of the halberd formation, which provided Zhou Yang with a lot of reference.
Such a powerful square formation was actually made by Shang Yang. Zhou Yang really didn't expect that, and he opened his mouth wide in surprise.
The power of the Qin army formation is still a thousand years later.
Not only was Zhou Yang surprised, Cheng Buzhi, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian, who were both open their mouths and couldn't speak for a long time.
Seeing everyone's surprise, Ding Jun smiled slightly and said, "By the time of Emperor Qin, the phalanx of the previous dynasty was a little different from the Shang Yang period. That was because famous generals such as Sima Cuo, Bai Qi, Meng Wu, Wang Jian, Meng Tian, and Wang Ben were improved on their basis."
Military science is developed. Sima Cuo, Bai Qi, Meng Wu, Wang Jian, Meng Tian, and Wang Ben will improve the Qin army formation. This is inevitable. However, this foundation was laid by Shang Yang, and Shang Yang made an indelible contribution.
"The new army of Qin was trained, and Shang Yang led the new army to fight with Wei. "Ding Jun continued to say: "In that battle, Wei sent Wei Wushang, but when he encountered the new army of Qin, he was defeated and almost wiped out the entire army. The Wei Wushang trained by Wu Qi were the powerful soldiers who swept the world. The princes were forced to fight head-on. No army could defeat him. Even Sun Bin could not, but defeated the new army of Qin."
After a brief pause, Ding Jun said in a fascination: "Sun Bin is the master of Mr. Guigu. He is good at studying military tactics. Sun Pang fights and shoots Pang Juan to death on Maling Road, which makes future generations admire him. However, Sun Bin cannot train a large army and fights head-on with Wei Wushou. He can only use tricks and tricks to defeat the Wei army on Maling Road. However, Shang Yang can train an army that is more good at fighting and terrifying than Wei Wushou. I think Shang Yang's achievements in military tactics are far higher than Sun Bin!"
"This..." Sun Bin's name is very loud and is admired by later military strategists. Ding Jun's statement is very novel. Cheng Buzhi, Gongsun He, and Gongsun Jian opened their mouths wide and couldn't speak for a long time.
"It's reasonable! It's reasonable!"
Zhou Yang was slightly surprised and agreed with this conclusion: "The Battle of Maling is certainly admired by later generations, but if you win, you will win. Compared with training a large army that can conquer and fight, it is far from being compared. Victory in a battle is just a battle. If an invincible army can be built, there will be many victories. If Sun Bin trains an army like the previous dynasty, then there will be more than one battle in Maling, and there will be many battles in Maling."
After Zhou Yang's statement, Cheng Bushi, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian and others turned around and nodded, and agreed very much.
"The general's words are reasonable!" Li Guang quickly spoke and took the lead in echoing: "In the Great Wall Battle, the Han Dynasty defeated the Huns and achieved an unprecedented victory. However, if we cannot train cavalry, we cannot recover the Hetao land, cannot directly attack Longcheng, and cannot attack Mobei. The Great Wall Battle is nothing more than another battle of Maling."
As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered that this was a bit inappropriate and hurriedly said, "Master, I don't mean that..."
Zhou Yang waved his hand and stopped him from speaking: "The Flying General is right. Although the Great Wall victory is certainly pleasant, but it will be over after the joy is over. This battle is very expensive, everyone has injuries, and nearly half of the casualties. The reason for such a large casualties is that we do not have an elite army that can defeat the Huns in a head-on battle. We may not be able to win another Great Wall battle. If we build an army that can conquer and defeat the Huns in a head-on battle, we can create ten, hundreds, and even more Great Wall Victories!"
This is not a self-deprecation, but a big truth. During the Yanmen War, Zhou Yang used heavy rain to restrict the Huns' cavalry and shooting, only once. Such a thing is hard to come by. If the Han army's overall strength is above the Huns and they will face it head-on, they will be able to defeat the Huns, and the results of the battle this year will be even greater.
If you really want to train such a large army, the Han army can regain the land of Hetao, attack Longcheng, and march into the northern part of the Mo. How can the Huns run rampant? This is a wonderful future!
A long list of wonderful stars appeared in Li Guang and his eyes, and his face was so excited that he shone red.
"Master, we must train a large army like the previous dynasty!" Li Guang's quick mouth was the first to speak, but as soon as he spoke, he still felt that he was not enough: "No, no, no, it must be far better than the combat-friendly army like the previous dynasty!"
Although the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, the Qin army retained its descendants with peerless magnificence. Two thousand years later, it was still praised. It was difficult to train an army comparable to it, let alone surpassing the Qin army. He really dared to say that Zhou Yang opened his mouth so hard that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Cheng Buzhi was happy and comforted: "General Fei said it is reasonable and said it is reasonable!"
"I believe the general will succeed!" Gongsun He and Gongsun Jian agreed in unison.
Training a large army that surpasses the Qin army is certainly aspiring to, but more of it is a beautiful dream, which is impossible to realize.
Ding Jun was also extremely excited, and he lost his tongue and gave Zhou Yang a sudden inspiration: "Master, I have a little superficial opinion on this training of troops. I don't know if I should talk about it?"
"Oh!" Zhou Yang was very interested and asked, "Please speak with General Ding!"
"Master, throughout history, who has not trained soldiers? A famous general who cannot train soldiers is not a real famous general!" Ding Jun's eyes shone with a high tone: "Sun Wu entered Wu and trained 30,000 powerful soldiers. Bai Ju defeated 200,000 Chu troops in a battle. With these 30,000 powerful soldiers, they entered Yingdu and almost destroyed Chu. Chu, the largest country in the world, was a territory that spanned thousands of miles, and was defeated by Sun Wu's 30,000 elite troops. How touching is this!"
Sun Wu defeated Chu, which was a big deal that has been famous throughout the ages. It was a myth to defeat the Chu State with a mere 30,000 people. When it comes to mention it, Li Guang, Cheng Bushi, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian, and Qin Wuhui had a look of yearning.
"Let's talk about Wu Qi, who is a general of Wei, trains Wei Wu soldiers in Hexi. Wei Wu soldiers swept the world and the princes are leaving their hands behind. What a powerful soldier they are!" Ding Jun's voice was even higher: "Sun Wu and Wu Qi, called Sun Wu, are admired by military strategists. What an elite army they trained."
The topic changed: "But, wasn't the Wu army defeated by Yue? Was the Wei Wushou defeated by Shang Yang? The army of the previous dynasty was shocking, but as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to train a strong Han army that surpassed the army of the previous dynasty!"
If there was a strong Han army that surpassed the Qin army, they would wake up laughing when they fell asleep, which was very exciting. Ding Jun clenched his fists vigorously.
Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian, and Qin Wuhui were so excited that his face was red and he praised in unison: "Good said! Good said!"
"Master, you will definitely succeed! You will definitely succeed!" Li Guang was full of confidence in Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang's mouth opened and closed again, closed and opened again, and he wanted to speak several times, but he didn't say a word. It was not Zhou Yang's stuttering, but Zhou Yang was extremely excited and couldn't be excited.
This is indeed a godsend opportunity!
Ding Jun is right, a true good general must be able to train troops! A good general who cannot train troops is not a real good general. Since Emperor Jing wants Zhou Yang to train troops, why not build an invincible army?
If you have an invincible army, the Huns will be defeated. The world is so big, who is the opponent of the Han Dynasty?
Chinese civilization will surely spread to the horn of the sky and the end of the sea!
If this is the case, Zhou Yang’s time travel is worth it! One hundred, one thousand, ten thousand are worth it!
"I have modern knowledge and modern civilization, but I don't believe that I can't train an invincible army!" At this moment, Zhou Yang's confidence was overwhelmed.
"Okay! Let's work together to build an invincible army of strong Han! Ranging above the desert and sweeping the world!" Zhou Yang looked up at the sky, his eyes shining brightly, as if a sharp sword, trying to pierce the sky!
"promise!"
Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian, Qin Wuhui, Ding Jun responded with a loud response.
Chapter completed!
