Qin Wuji lived in a house in the southwest outside the imperial city, not far away. Zhao Shan and Qin Yueyao arrived soon.
Outside the house, people from Dongchang were guarding to avoid any problems.
When Zhao Shan came outside the house, the people in Dongchang quickly saluted, all of them were respectful and reserved. Zhao Shan asked the people in Dongchang to perform their duties, and then took Qin Yueyao into the house.
As soon as he entered the gate of the house, he saw a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old dancing a sword in the yard.
The young man was wearing ordinary coarse linen clothes. The clothes were not flashy, but he had sharp eyebrows and a pair of focused and sharp eyes. In particular, he has the back of a tiger and the waist of a wasp, slender arms, and a height of 185 centimeters, which makes him even more powerful and brave.
The young man held a sword in his hand, the sword was shining brightly, and the sword was one, as if it were an unsheathed sword.
This is Qin Wuji.
When he was concentrating on the sword dance, he completely forgot about himself. The sound of the sword cutting through the air was extremely oppressive.
From Zhao Shan's perspective, Qin Wuji's swordsmanship was very good. He was not just a showman, but someone who had actually experienced fighting.
This is a talent that can be created.
Worth cultivating.
Qin Yueyao saw Qin Wuji dancing his sword and reminded him, "Wuji, why don't you come to see your majesty yet?"
Qin Wuji stopped in response.
When he saw Qin Yueyao, he was extremely happy and his eyes showed excitement. Immediately afterwards, Qin Wuji's eyes fell on Zhao Shan, and he saluted: "Qin Wuji, a common man, pays homage to your majesty."
Zhao Shan praised: "The swordsmanship is good, and there is some murderous intent. But overall, it is a bit worse. The murderous intent is not enough, not fast enough, and not ruthless enough!"
Qin Wuji, young and energetic, asked, "Your Majesty just watched my performance and didn't fight with me. Why do you say it's not fast enough or ruthless enough?"
Qin Yueyao looked worried and said anxiously: "Wuji, don't be rude."
Zhao Shan stretched out his hand to stop Qin Yueyao and said with a smile: "You can't prove it with your words, but you can see the truth in your hands. Let me test your skills."
Sonorous!
Zhao Shanlongyuan's sword was unsheathed and he beckoned: "Come on, you come and attack."
Qin Wuji's eyes were filled with excitement, without any fear, and he asked: "Is your Majesty serious?"
Zhao Shandao: "Of course it is true!"
"Your Majesty, I'm offended!"
As soon as Qin Wuji finished speaking, he stabbed Zhao Shan in the chest with his sword.
Zhao Shan refused to dodge, and the Long Yuan sword hit Qin Wuji's blade with a snap. Under the force of the impact, Qin Wuji's sword was knocked out, and Long Yuan's sword landed impartially three inches in front of Qin Wuji's chest.
With one further thrust, the sword tip was enough to pierce Qin Wuji's chest.
Qin Wuji was stunned for a moment, but his eyes were stubborn and he refused to admit defeat: "Your Majesty, I was not prepared just now, so I was caught off guard."
Zhao Shan hooked his hands and said, "Come again!"
Qin Wuji quickly picked up the sword. This time he held the hilt tightly and stabbed Zhao Shan straight into the chest again. It's just that Zhao Shan was faster. The moment Qin Wuji took out his sword, Long Yuan Sword had already stopped at Qin Wuji's throat.
hiss!
Qin Wuji took a breath and looked horrified. He didn't expect the emperor's swordsmanship to be so powerful.
He was completely beaten.
Zhao Shan put his sword into its sheath and said with a smile: "You lose."
"I lost!"
Qin Wuji simply admitted defeat, but was not discouraged at all. He said with high spirits: "Your Majesty has experienced hundreds of battles, so it is normal for me to lose. My swordsmanship has only been honed by hunting in the mountains, and I have not been on the battlefield. I'm on the battlefield. Killing enemies on the battlefield and honing your skills will definitely transform you, and you will definitely become stronger.”
Zhao Shan admired Qin Wuji's mentality very much.
To be a general, you need to be not arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat, and not be affected by failure.
Zhao Shan joked: "I heard that you are a horse breeder in Xiangyang. Many people say that you are just a horse slave. Do you also want to go to the battlefield?"
Qin Wuji did not get angry because of Zhao Shan's words, and retorted without being humble or arrogant: "Your Majesty, does Man Nu have any influence? It is not a shame for a man to be born poor, it is a shame to be content with the status quo."
"Throughout the history of history, there are people who were born slaves and were granted the title of marquis and prime minister, and there were also slaves who held the position of general."
"Why can't I?"
"A man's ambition should be like the endless flow of water in the East China Sea, and should be implemented from beginning to end, not three days of fishing and two days of drying the net."
Qin Wuji's eyes were bright and he said: "Your Majesty's words are too contemptuous. Even if you are a slave, you still have a future."
Qin Yueyao scolded: "Wuji, behave yourself."
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said: "Don't be nervous. I think Wuji is very good. He is a person with a big heart and ambition. With your words and ambition just now, it shouldn't be a problem to become a general leading troops."
Qin Wuji said confidently: "Your Majesty, I don't want to be a soldier and a general. I want to be a general."
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "A man who has never been on the battlefield or led a soldier wants to be a general? This is interesting. Have you studied military science? Do you know how to train troops to fight?"
Qin Wuji replied: "The art of war is just a summary of the predecessors, and I have also learned it. But I think the real art of war should adapt to local conditions and adapt to changes. This is the master who is best at using troops."
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "You haven't even learned the most basics. Do you know how to adapt to local conditions? You can't even tame soldiers. If you don't share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, how can you get the soldiers to support and obey orders?"
Qin Wuji said confidently: "Your Majesty, this statement is completely false."
There was more curiosity in Zhao Shan's eyes, and there was a hint of appreciation.
Whether Qin Wuji can do it or not is another matter.
This kind of self-confidence is very important.
Zhao Shan hopes to train some young generals. Now that Wei Polu is old, he will not be able to fight in battle in a few years. Although there are also people such as Qin Zhong and Yue Feipeng, there are actually not many people from the younger generation and there are no leading figures.
Zhao Shan asked curiously: "You said what I said was wrong. What do you think?"
Qin Wuji replied: "Your Majesty, I don't think that sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers can gain their support and effectiveness. I can only say that sharing the joys and sorrows is the most basic method, and it is the method of ordinary generals."
"You share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, but you secretly seek rewards and rewards. When encountering a war, you are afraid of death and dare not charge into battle. Is it useful?"
"To lead and tame soldiers, you should be like taming horses, knocking the thorns on those who are disobedient and punishing those who stand out. In this way, the soldiers below will naturally be obedient."
"A general who has no dignity and only pursues sharing the joys and sorrows with his soldiers can only be said to be incompetent."
"Beyond the majesty, it's the reward."
"In every war, in addition to the generals taking the lead in the charge, the rewards and pensions after the war must be implemented. This is the most important part."
"What do soldiers fight for?"
"Is it to protect the homeland and the country? The soldiers don't understand at all. What they want is to be rewarded for completing the task. If the soldiers are given enough rewards, there are majestic restraints, and the leader takes the lead, the army can be sharp."
Qin Wuji spoke eloquently: "Based on the above reasons, I do not agree with your majesty's words. Please tell me clearly."
Zhao Shan felt increasingly happy.
Through raising horses, Qin Wuji was able to understand a set of principles for leading troops, and the combination of kindness and power was also the basis for leading troops.
Only when rewards and punishments are clear and soldiers have hope can their morale be cohesive.
This is also the reason why Zhao Shan attaches great importance to rewards and pensions after every battle.
When soldiers achieve victory, perform meritorious service, receive awards and promotions, and can achieve a class jump by relying on their hard work on the battlefield, countless people are willing to become soldiers and join the army.
Once on the battlefield, the people above will pluck the peaches for their achievements and withhold the rewards received by the people above. Over time, the soldiers will become disintegrated. No one is willing to fight to the death, no one is willing to be a soldier, and there may even be deserters. .
Zhao Shan fell in love with Qin Wuji more and more, and asked further: "You are not young, have you ever been engaged, and do you have a sweetheart you like?"
Qin Wuji's eyebrows were sharp and he said forcefully: "Da Qian is now divided and the world is in chaos. How can we be obsessed with the personal affairs of our children? I am willing to use the three-foot sword in my hand to drive away the bandits for Your Majesty. The world is not settled, why do we call home?" "
