At a banquet, the guests and hosts enjoy themselves.
This was the first time they met Zhang Ji and everyone seemed to have known each other for a long time. Before leaving, Yang Duanhe patted Zhang Ji's shoulder intimately in front of the house and chatted with Zhang Ji. It was quite irreverent. As for the trend of friendship, Meng Wu, Wang Jian and others also looked at Zhang Ji with friendliness and goodwill in their eyes.
But this is also because Zhang Ji worked hard and did what he wanted.
Men all like to brag and gossip at the wine table, especially after drinking for three rounds, eating fried broad beans purchased by Zhang Ji from Hu Shang, drinking various flavors of wine, and drinking wine from all over the world. Delicious food and Weiguo peach wine naturally make it easier for people to get lost in this atmosphere.
Yang Duanhe is a veteran general of the Qin State. As an old man, he inevitably likes to brag about his achievements for most of his life. A famous general like Yang Duanhe naturally has a lot to brag about, so he becomes a little selfless at the wine table.
Zhang Ji naturally listened honestly to Yang Duanhe's account of his achievements for most of his life, as well as several spur-of-the-moment decisions made in dangerous moments.
Although most of them are bragging about themselves, there are also many things worth learning from Zhang Ji, such as some experiences and lessons learned in the battle.
The Meng family's side was quite simple. Zhang Ji had already asked his servants to pack several portions of preserved fruits into food boxes, and also sent them to the Meng family with two chefs who knew how to make preserved fruits. One of them went straight to Lantian University. Camp, cook a meal of hometown side dishes for Meng Ao who is in Lantian Camp.
Although the matter was small, Meng Wu could feel Zhang Ji's sincerity in treating others. The most important thing was Zhang Ji's sincere friendship and humility.
On Meng Jia's side, Zhang Ji presented some fine wines from various countries, while on Meng Yi's side, he presented a sword made by the Mohist family. Although it was not a famous sword, it was sharp and absolutely extraordinary.
As for Wang Jian and Wang Ben's father and son, Zhang Ji didn't do anything at all during the banquet, and the two came up to make friends.
Because Wang Jian could be promoted to a general, although Ying Zheng took the opportunity to secretly express his intention not to treat loyal ministers badly, it was Zhang Ji who facilitated it. Otherwise, Wang Jian would only get some extra land and house rewards and a few hundred gold rewards at most, and there would never be any Being awarded the title of general will completely achieve a class leap.
Wang Jian naturally knew about this, so his initiative to make friends also showed that he understood Zhang Ji's kindness, and the Wang family would remember this kindness in their hearts.
Of course, Zhang Ji took the opportunity to make a request to all the military generals at the banquet.
In his previous life, Zhang Ji had played many real-time strategy games. If the killings in the games were to be recorded on Zhang Ji's head... how many times he was shot was not enough to describe the sins in his hands. Bai Qi would definitely fall into despair. , the eighteen levels of hell have to be built downwards, and the emperor Fengdu has to kneel down and beg to reduce the number of killings of top war criminals.
But in the end, Zhang Ji never really led troops to fight.
Maybe it's okay to make plans for Zhang Ji, but if he really leads the troops, Zhang Ji might not be as good as Meng Yi, a fourteen-year-old child who was baptized in the art of war next to famous generals like Meng Ao and Meng Wu.
Just the dispatch of grain and grass supplies can stump Zhang Ji. He has no idea about the food, clothing, housing and transportation treatment of Qin soldiers during wartime and non-wartime, how much grain and fodder they need to consume, how much materials they need to bring to camp, etc.
When it comes to army command, soldiers are not the emotionless soldiers in the game who only have health points, numbers, and morale points. They will be defeated because of low morale. They will be inspired by the leader personally beating the drum and fight hard to kill the enemy.
There are too many uncertainties in everything, which cannot be understood by playing a few real-time strategy games.
Zhang Ji was already worried about arranging the guards under his command to guard the palace, not to mention the matter of escorting Ying Zheng, Zhao Ji and others into the Qinian Palace in Yongcheng.
Therefore, Zhang Ji needs their help.
Yang Duanhe was the first to react. Even Fu Xu laughed and recommended his son Yang Wengzi.
Yang Duanhe fought all his life and did not have a son until he was in his thirties. In this era, he can definitely be called an old man to have a son, so he named Yang Wengzi. He is now just twenty-two years old and has been in the army for many years. Although he is not as old as Meng Tian has talents and opportunities, but he is also a thousand-year-old, a fifth-level doctor.
Meng Wu also reacted immediately and recommended his nephews Shejian and Su Jiao to Zhang Ji. They were both in their early twenties and had been in the army for several years. They were both five hundred masters. Level 4 will not change your title.
Wang Jian entrusted his son Wang Ben to Zhang Ji.
Wang Yan's son Wang Qi recommended Feng Jie and Feng Quji's clan brother Feng Wuze. He had already served in the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army at the age of fourteen. This time he happened to be following Ying Zheng back to Xianyang in the Five Thousand Pingyang Army. Among the heavy armored soldiers, he was twenty-seven years old and was a thousand-year-old official.
Duke Heng's son gave Zhang Ji a big surprise, bringing in two sons of family friends.
One is Tu Sui, a 24-year-old Qian Chang, an eighth-level Duke; the other is Ren Xiao, a 29-year-old who was defeated and held accountable for his defeat in the last alliance. Bu Geng, who was directly demoted to the fourth level of nobility, originally had 4,000 men under his command, but now he is just an ordinary general of 100 men.
Anyone who has read history textbooks will have some impression of these two names. They were the general who was later awarded the title of Imperial Lieutenant by Qin Shihuang and led an army of 500,000 people to conquer Baiyue, and Ren Xiao, who took over the position of general after the massacre of Sui.
You know, the bigger the army, the better. Just like after the Battle of Changping, the Yan State took advantage of the weakness of the Zhao State and launched the Battle of Chadai. King Yan personally led an army of 600,000 and two thousand chariots to attack the State of Zhao. They were defeated by Lian Po and Le Cheng with a total of 130,000 remaining soldiers.
This is the consequence of having to command an army beyond the scope of his command without his ability. Tu Sui and Ren Xiao are both generals who can command 500,000 Qin troops, which shows their talents.
Zhang Ji smiled happily, all the worries in his heart were gone, and he was filled with emotion.
There are really too many famous generals in Qin.
Yang Wengzi, Shejian, Su Jiao, Wang Ben, Feng Wuze, Tu Sui, and Ren Xiao all have the qualifications to be famous generals. Together with Li Xin and Qiang Yu, these nine people are all listed in the Qing Dynasty. , and they are all under thirty years old now, and the older generation of famous generals in Qin are still alive, and there are even Wang Jian, Meng Wu and others who have succeeded Wang Jue, Meng Ao and other veteran generals.
Of course, the reason why Yang Duanhe, Meng Wu, Wang Jian and others recommended these young people who are close to them to Zhang Ji is not purely to help Zhang Ji, but also to show goodwill, and more importantly, to hope that Zhang Ji will be helped. With Zhang Ji's help, they will get more opportunities and have a better future.
If Zhang Ji himself had extraordinary abilities, was the leader of the Mohist family, was famous all over the world, had his character guaranteed by Zhan Lu, the sword of benevolence, and was favored by Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji, who else would have treated these young people? Sent to Zhang Ji's command?
With this group of Qin's future famous generals under his command, Zhang Ji still worries about the dispatch of a mere 20,000 guard army?
Moreover, although Ying Zheng trusted him, no one could guarantee that Ying Zheng would one day be provoked to become suspicious.
And he has already filled the army with generals and disciples who are loyal to the Qin Dynasty, and he must be able to avoid Ying Zheng's suspicion to the greatest extent.
