The winter day in Linchen City is bright and sunny.
Zhao Hao arranged a rugby match in Linchen City, with both sides coming from Han Xin's new army.
They are Ke Bei's 'Tiger' team and Han Xin's own 'Goshawk' team.
Under the sun, the players were sweating profusely.
It was a matter of national diplomacy, and every player worked hard, which made the game very intense and the emotions in the spectator stands high.
As cheers rang out, Chen Ping stood up, hitting the palm of his right hand with the fist of his left hand, with a nervous expression on his face.
But after all, he was a scholar and was used to self-cultivation, so he didn't shout like other viewers.
When the gong sounded outside the court, Chen Ping sat back down again and continued to watch the game in a good mood.
"Director Chen also likes watching football?"
Zhao Hao has watched too many games and has long lost the enthusiasm he had earlier, so he doesn't seem to care about the situation on the court.
"Actually, when I was in Xianyang, I often watched rugby."
Chen Ping said to Zhao Hao with some shame: "I was just invited at first, but after watching it, I fell in love with this sport. Whenever there is a competition in Xianyang, I will be there."
Zhao Hao smiled: "I didn't expect you are also a fan."
"fan?"
"He's the kind of person who really likes watching football."
"Oh I got it."
Chen Ping nodded suddenly, then glanced around and asked doubtfully: "His Majesty and General Wang are not here?"
"They are here, but because of some plans, I arranged for them to watch in a secret place!" Zhao Hao turned his head and whispered.
"Then the South Vietnamese envoy and the Minyue envoy."
"Are you asking me this?" Zhao Hao looked at Chen Ping strangely.
Chen Ping responded, slapped his forehead, and couldn't help but look embarrassed: "I almost forgot, I am responsible for this, they will be here soon!"
"Ah!"
Zhao Hao smiled and joked: "I didn't expect Director Chen to be so obsessed with watching football that he would even forget his own job."
"Young Master, please forgive me."
"Director Chen, we are here!"
Just as Chen Ping was about to confess to Zhao Hao, Kun Tu led the South Vietnamese delegation to the viewing platform.
After eating hot pot last night, before leaving, Zhao Hao specifically asked Chen Ping to give them some Central Plains clothing. When they came to watch the game today, they all wore those clothes.
However, because of their short stature, they always look like nouveau riche when worn.
"Sir."
Kun Tu followed the etiquette of the Central Plains and bowed to Zhao Hao: "Thank you for the gorgeous clothes you gave us and for hosting a banquet here. You are the best friend of us South Vietnamese!"
"Your Majesty, you're welcome."
Zhao Hao smiled and asked; "Do the clothes still fit?"
Kuntu's figure is quite tall, and he is obviously more decent than other messengers.
He stood up confidently and smiled from ear to ear: "These are the best clothes I have worn since Kun Tu was born. I plan to bring a few more sets when I return to South Vietnam for the women I love to wear!" "
"A woman can't wear this."
"Ah? Why?"
"Women should wear curved skirts and underskirts."
Zhao Hao smiled and explained to Kuntu. At this time, there was a sudden noise in the distance. He couldn't help but follow the sound and saw a woman wearing a white curved skirt slowly walking towards this side.
Her pretty face, fair skin, and tall figure, coupled with her white curved skirt, immediately attracted the attention of most men.
Zhao Hao's lips twitched and he couldn't help but stare at Chen Ping fiercely: "Who asked you to give her clothes?"
"Um?"
Chen Ping was stunned for a moment and shook his head blankly: "I don't have it. Wasn't it a gift from the young master?"
"How could I give it away!"
Zhao Hao glared at Chen Ping angrily, then pretended to be nonchalant, raised his hand and said with a smile: "That's Princess Yingluo of Minyue, she's wearing a curved skirt!"
Princess Yingluo is here?
Prince Fangtai of South Vietnam, who had been silent all this time, quickly turned his head and looked behind him when he heard Zhao Hao's words.
It's okay if you don't look at it. Once you look at it, you are completely fascinated by Yingluo, and he looks like a pig brother.
However, Yingluo ignored him at all. Yingying walked to Zhao Hao and said with a smile: "Master, am I beautiful?"
"Well"
Zhao Hao smacked his lips in embarrassment and muttered: "It's just average."
"hehe."
Yingluo smiled noncommittally, then turned around and sat down at the Minyue Mission's seat.
At this time, Mu Kui, who was a few steps behind, quickly saluted Zhao Hao: "Sir, we are late, please forgive me!"
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. It's no problem. Please sit down!"
"Thank you, sir."
Mu Kui responded respectfully, then straightened his back, nodded to Kun Tu, and walked straight to his seat.
As Kuntu also led people to sit down, the surrounding atmosphere gradually fell into silence, with only shouts from off and inside the court.
At this time, Zhao Hao turned to look at Chen Ping.
Chen Ping understood, looked at the Minyue people and asked, "I wonder if your envoy is interested in rugby?"
Upon hearing this, the South Vietnamese stopped whispering and listened carefully.
Mu Kui glanced at the court and then said to Chen Ping, "We have never seen anything like this."
"Now that I've seen it, what do you think?"
Mu Kui had actually been discussing things with Yingluo next to him. The purpose of coming here today was also to see Da Qin's attitude towards South Vietnam. He didn't have much enthusiasm for mutton-boiled meat and rugby.
But Chen Ping asked him, and he couldn't turn a blind eye.
Therefore, Mukui looked at the stadium, thought for a moment and said: "Although it is the first time for me to see this kind of game, I estimate that this should be a military exercise in the Central Plains, just like our hunting in Fujian and Vietnam, both for entertainment and for Train an army.”
Hearing this, Zhao Hao smiled.
Kun Tu, the South Vietnamese envoy, also smiled.
However, the reason why Zhao Hao laughed was that he did not expect that Mu Kui had a good vision and actually hit the key point.
Kun Tu laughed, but it was full of disdain: "Rugby is an activity for the Central Plains people. Only the Central Plains nobles can enjoy the pastime. How can you compare this activity with hunting, which can also be participated by soldiers and civilians?"
"this"
Zhao Hao was stunned.
He felt that Kun Tu's tone was a bit 'advocating Qin' and flattering foreigners.
Only two days after arriving, Kun Tu not only became a complete "pro-Qin faction", but also looked like a "traitor" in his worship of the Central Plains, or to be more precise, a "traitor".
Even the spy chief Chen Ping felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help coughing twice.
But the Minyue people suddenly became angry.
They didn't know whether they were angry because Baiyue had a traitor like Nanyue, or because they lost face when being humiliated in public. In short, when Kuntu's words were sweet, Mu Kui stared at him angrily.
"Actually, the tradition of hunting is also found in the Central Plains."
Yingluo didn't seem to want Zhao Hao to see their Yue people's jokes, and said to herself: "The Central Plains nobles not only pursue cultural heritage, the tradition of hunting also has a long history in the Central Plains."
"Oh? There is also hunting in the Central Plains?"
Fang Tai finally found an opportunity to talk to Ying Luo and quickly asked her.
Yingluo glanced at him indifferently, then looked at Zhao Hao: "Of course, there are still hunting activities in the Central Plains, and the sport of olives has only been around for a long time."
"So that's what happened."
Mrs. Fang nodded in understanding, and then patted the horse with a smile: "The princess really knows the culture of the Central Plains. I heard about the princess's deeds when I was in South Vietnam. Now that I see her, she is indeed well-deserved!"
"snort!"
Yingluo snorted, obviously the other party was not very interested, and continued: "Young Master asked us to come to watch the game. Could it be that he wanted to tell us that Da Qin's attitude towards Baiyue is like the attitude of the players on the court towards the field? "
"Um?"
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but be puzzled: "What do you mean by this?"
"The ball they are holding is the military flag. Wherever their military flag goes, it means that their army has arrived. Putting the ball on the ground means that they have planted the military flag on the enemy's territory."
"That's understandable!"
"When the military flag is planted on the territory, it means that the territory has changed hands."
"That's true."
"but."
Yingluo pointed to the Goshawk team's request for help: "They need to keep an eye on the opponent's main force holding the ball, and prevent the opponents who invade their homeland from planting their military flags on their territory and taking away their territory, just like our Fujian and South Vietnam. , just like we won’t let Great Qin take away our home!”
"this"
Zhao Hao was speechless, thinking that this little girl was really extraordinary.
The rest of the South Vietnamese envoys and the Minyue envoys looked at each other and couldn't help but feel shocked, thinking that she was really brave!
However, Yingluo didn't finish her words, and heard her continue: "The person holding the ball is the main force holding the military flag. The person not holding the flag must provide cover for the main force. The defender must defend the main force and also needs to guard against the main force holding the ball. People are on guard!"
"Princess's Central Plains culture has improved again!"
Zhao Hao joked with a smile.
"However, the person holding the ball is always changing, and I can't understand it."
Yingluo looked at Zhao Hao: "Since the person holding the ball is the main force, why should we give the offensive opportunity to others? Can other people also be the main offensive force?"
"Haha, the princess mentioned my Great Qin's strategy against Baiyue, so I will tell you how the Central Plains's fighting methods are different from yours."
Zhao Hao said frankly: "When we fight in the Central Plains, we use a variety of armies to cooperate with each other, rather than a single or two or three arms."
"Multiple armies?"
"Yes, more than four and a variety of armies!"
Zhao Hao smiled and said: "The arms of your Yue country may be infantry, cavalry, archers, sailors, and at most some troublesome monkeys, elephants, or other animals;
But the arms of our Great Qin include not only the arms you have, but also engineers, artillery, aerospace troops, medical troops, special forces, scouts, musketeers, etc. These arms can become the key to the situation of the war. "
Mu Kui said thoughtfully: "Could it be that the aerial soldiers that the young master mentioned are the same soldiers that destroyed our Songxi navy? Attacked from the sky?"
"Exactly."
"Then those holding the ball may be air troops, artillery, or other arms. They keep moving the ball in their hands, representing different arms taking turns to attack?"
"That's understandable!"
Hearing this, the envoys looked at the court again and fell into silence.
But Kun Tu shook his head and sighed: "I can't imagine that we were born in the mountains and have only experience fighting in the mountains. I didn't know that besides infantry, archers, and sailors, there are so many types of arms that can be the main force!"
"Actually, they are not the main force, but focus on combat cooperation."
Zhao Hao continued to explain: "Aerospace soldiers have their own advantages and disadvantages. The same is true for infantry, cavalry, and sailors. Only by making use of their strengths and weaknesses and learning from each other can they maximize their combat effectiveness."
"Young master, what you mean is that there can be more complex tactics?" Mu Kui suddenly looked at Zhao Hao and said.
"That's right."
Zhao Hao nodded and said: "The battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and the same is true on the court. Players passing the ball to each other represent the cooperation of different arms. They will adopt specific tactics according to different situations."
"No wonder."
Mu Kui frowned and said, "No wonder I can't understand it either. It turns out there are so many tactics in attack."
Zhao Hao smiled and nodded; "There are actually many tactics for defense."
"It's a great event."
Kun Tu muttered: "Although I still don't understand it, I have benefited a lot from listening to the young master's explanation. It seems that there is a reason why the Qin Dynasty was able to destroy Xiou and severely damage the Minyue navy!"
"Well, your Majesty, it's better not to rub salt into other people's wounds. It's not conducive to harmony."
"Hahaha!"
All the South Vietnamese envoys burst into laughter.
Although the Minyue envoy was angry, he did not dare to act arrogantly in front of Zhao Hao. He could only glare at the South Vietnamese envoy frequently.
"But is it really okay for Da Qin to use its own strength to invade other people's homes?"
Yingluo said coldly.
The audience fell silent again.
Zhao Hao couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead and said helplessly: "As the princess said before, there are hunts in Baiyue, and there are hunts in the Central Plains, and they have a longer history than Baiyue."
Hearing this, Sakura was speechless.
She knew what Zhao Hao wanted to express. The Yue people's country they established now was also established by occupying the local Yue people's homes. Therefore, what Da Qin is doing now is no different from them, and there are historical precedents.
Seeing that Yingluo was speechless, Mu Kui smiled awkwardly and said, "May I ask, Master, if such football matches are often held?"
Chen Ping said in a deep voice: "There are very few in Linchen City, but there will be more in the future. As for the Central Plains, from spring to autumn, there are probably hundreds of them!"
"this"
Mu Kui was also speechless.
The military strength of the Yue people was not as good as that of the Great Qin, and even this kind of tactical deduction was not as good as that of the Great Qin. Although Mu Kui had known about the gap between the Yue people and the Qin people, he did not expect that the gap would be so big.
In fact, although the gap between the Yue people and the Qin people is very large, it is not so large as to be exaggerated.
Zhao Hao's description of complex tactics was definitely an exaggeration, and Chen Ping's description of the hundreds of games every year was also an exaggeration. The purpose was to infinitely elevate the military strength of Great Qin in the minds of Yue envoys like them.
Obviously, these Yue envoys had a clearer understanding of Qin's military strength through rugby games.
This is more straightforward than their secret speculation and analysis.
Moreover, this was what Zhao Hao had expected.
we can even say.
The purpose of his invitation to them to watch the rugby match today was to make them mistakenly assess the military strength of Qin, so as to achieve the goal of pacifying Baiyue without spending a single soldier.
