Qin will never be satisfied after annexing Zhou, and the only surrounding lands that can expand are South Korea and Wei.
Therefore, after receiving Zhou's request for help, the two countries immediately sent reinforcements without any hesitation.
If that's all, that's it. Facing the Han and Wei coalition forces, the Qin army also has to consider whether to retreat.
The problem is that while the two countries were supporting Zhou, they still had a little bit of luck in their hearts. They felt that Qin would not attack them after destroying Zhou. If they sent troops to aid Zhou now, they would attract Qin's firepower.
The two countries feared Qin like a tiger and were well aware of Qin's threat, but did not have the courage to fight against Qin. So the armies of the two countries set out from Daliang and Xinzheng and stopped after reaching Xingyang.
No matter how much the Zhou envoy urged, the Korean and Wei armies were as if they were nailed to their butts and could not move.
When Wang Lu saw this, he immediately sent someone to tell the two countries.
This time Qin came only to destroy Zhou and had nothing to do with South Korea and Wei. If the two countries dare to send troops to support, then let them all stay here!
The two countries became even more afraid and did not dare to take a step forward.
"Ten thousand troops are enough." Lian Po and Tian Dan also nodded.
The three military strategists nodded, and the others naturally did not argue.
"Who is willing to lead the army?" Wei Wuji looked at the generals below.
"The general is willing to go." All the generals asked for orders.
Although the Qin army is powerful, everyone sitting here is qualified to be a general. How can they be afraid of the Qin army?
"In that case, let General Lecheng be the main general, General Jia Yan be the deputy general, and command 10,000 elite troops to support the Zhou Kingdom." Wei Wuji looked around and nodded at two people.
Lin Xiangru and Le Yi nodded.
Le Cheng and Jia Yan are bold and careful, while the other is calm. Le Cheng's talent can lead the army to break out when the army is in dire straits, so that the Zhao army will not be completely wiped out.
"The last general takes orders." Le Cheng and Jia Yan stood up and said with clasped fists.
"Since everyone has no objections, let's collect food and grass, and at the same time pass the news to the king to see if the king has any advice." Wei Wuji said.
Although there was an agreement before that Wei Wuji, Lin Xiangru, and Le Yi could send troops on their own after they agreed, but if they really encountered such a thing, they would definitely have to ask for permission.
Anyway, Qin was not attacking Zhao or Wei, so Wei Wuji was not in a hurry.
It is impossible for the Zhou Kingdom to be captured in a short period of time. At most, it will be beaten a little miserably.
"By the way, do you want to use the power of faith to strengthen the soldiers first?" Le Yi asked.
"How did Zou Yan use the power of faith?" Xunzi asked curiously.
He and He Guanzi and others studied for a long time, and finally got stuck in one place. The so-called gods of the foreign races did not recognize the Zhao State unless the Zhao State classified themselves into the Hu people's system.
This is obviously impossible.
Even if the power of these beliefs were wasted, Zhao Guo would not be able to do this.
"He rebuilt a system and placed the Kunlun God, the Sirius God, the Quyan God, the River God, and the Raccoon God all under the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan and the Yan Emperor Shennong, and became the generals under Xuanyuan and Shennong. In addition, He Guanzi found a pile of tortoise shells from nowhere. It said that the Xiongnu were descendants of the Xia Dynasty. They were later expelled for crimes and migrated to the north. In addition, Donghu, Quyan, Loufan, Linhu and other Rongdi They are all from China, they just moved out at different times," Le Yi said.
"Do the Xiongnu have their own historian?" Zhao Mu asked strangely.
The Xiongnu did not even form a real writing system. Communication basically relied on shouting. In other situations, they also used Zhao's script. I have never heard of them having their own historians.
"No." Le Yi said.
"Then how free is Xia Chao to record where a group of criminals have gone..." At this point, Zhao Mu suddenly froze and stopped talking. He thought of some possibility.
It can be seen from everyone's expressions that they have already guessed it.
I am indeed still too young...
"This system is not built just because it is built. At least it needs to be recognized by the majority of the Hu people." Xunzi said.
"I don't know the specifics. I only know that Zou Yan sent many people to spread propaganda among the captives and built statues of Kunlun God and other gods for them to worship. He only placed the statues of Huang Emperor Xuanyuan and Yan Emperor Shennong. The prisoners were very angry at first, but later they heard that the gods they believed in were only the generals of Huangdi Xuanyuan and Yandi Shennong, so they were defeated by the Zhao people. Instead, they accepted it. This thing has been done since last year. The results were only produced this year, doesn't Xunzi know?" Le Yi said.
The research on this matter has been almost completed, and only the last step is left.
After Qu Yan came to Zhao State last year, he immediately started to build a new system, and this was how he succeeded.
"I was too busy during this period and didn't pay attention." Xunzi shook his head.
Over the past year, he has been busy managing talents every day, allocating needed talents to various industries. He even has no time to teach his disciples. He can only ask Yu Xin to help, so he has no time to care about other things.
"Okay, it's enough for everyone to know about this, and keep it in your heart from now on." Wei Wuji patted the table and gathered everyone's attention.
Zou Yan and He Guanzi made this thing loose, and there is a possibility of being exposed at any time, so it's better not to talk about it.
"How many places are there in total?" Le Cheng asked.
"Because this is the first official use, the tentative number is five thousand. Subsequent arrangements will depend on the remaining power of faith and the effect of improvement." Le Yi said.
Because I had no experience, after several people discussed it, I chose to be more conservative.
"According to the original plan, there will be no war in our Zhao Kingdom in a short period of time, so we plan to wait for the king to come back before allocating the quota. But now the Zhou Kingdom is asking for help, and it needs to increase its combat power as much as possible while the military strength remains unchanged. Therefore, this article The Prime Minister believes that one thousand of the five thousand quotas will be given to Zhao Feiqi, and the remaining four thousand will be given to the Le Cheng Army." Wei Wuji said majestically.
The number of places is limited, and no one is suitable. Only Zhao Kuo can convince these people with his own prestige, and no one else can.
But now there is no time, so Wei Wuji can only do this offending job himself.
Among them, Zhao Feiqi's one thousand quota is a must. They need to know how big the difference is after the military spirit legion and the ordinary legion are strengthened, and then better allocate the quota.
There are only two military soul legions in the Zhao Kingdom. Most of the Imperial Guards follow Zhao Kuo. If Zhao Kuo does not personally conquer, the Imperial Guards will generally not go out to fight. The quota for the Military Soul Legion will naturally belong to Zhao Feiqi.
Of the remaining four thousand places, Wei Wuji's plan was to give three thousand to the Great Wall Legion, and the remaining one thousand would be chosen from ordinary legions.
Whether it was the Xiongnu Chanyu or King Donghu, they were all killed or captured by the Great Wall Legion. The Xiongnu Army Soul Legion and the Kunlun God were also killed by the Great Wall Legion.
In addition, the talent of the Great Wall Legion has disappeared now, and it is appropriate to provide compensation.
But Le Cheng is about to go on an expedition soon, so he can only give Le Cheng first.
Le Cheng took advantage of Li Mu this time.
"Thank you, Prime Minister. I wonder how long it will take?" Le Cheng said excitedly.
"In ten days to half a month, it should be almost ready when the king's order comes back. You go and prepare first." Wei Wuji waved his hand and said.
"No." Le Cheng turned around gracefully, walked out with his head held high, completely ignoring the envious and jealous eyes behind him.
