Even if he is the Wei State today.

At this moment, General Zou Ji of Qi's Donglai Army and General Ji Mi of the Eastern Navy were patrolling the military camp together to observe the morale of the martial arts warriors of this battalion.

During this period, Ji Mi said with a smile: "General Zou Ji is so scheming. He deliberately distributed the bounty at this time. It not only boosted the morale of the old people in the camp, but also filled the new people with fighting spirit..."

Zou Ji smiled and said nothing.

In fact, as early as yesterday, the team that came from Linzi and was loaded with bounty copper coins had already arrived in Kaiyang under the escort of a group of Qi soldiers.

But Zou Ji did not advocate issuing the bounty immediately. In his opinion, it was impossible for the old people who had experienced the previous war to leave without receiving the bounty. In this case, it was better to wait for the new

After the recruited martial arts warriors arrive, the bounty will be distributed, which can not only boost the morale of the old people in the camp, but also stimulate the newcomers who have just arrived.

When it came to Linzi, Zou Ji was filled with resentment.

It is undeniable that the bounty shipped here from Linzi was quite timely. In fact, Zou Ji was still thinking about how to coax those martial arts warriors who had just experienced a fierce battle to continue fighting against Chu, but he did not expect that

, Linzi has already prepared sufficient funds.

But the problem is...

If you have the time, why not mobilize several elite armies such as the Jimo Army, the Beihai Navy, the Langya Army, and the Flying Bear Army?

In response to this, the reply from Linzi was very simple: If you want money, yes, I will send troops continuously to deliver it, but if you want several elite armies such as Jimo Army, Beihai Navy, Langya Army, and Flying Bear Army, then

No, it's not yet time for these armies to dispatch.

It must be said that Linzi's attitude made Zou Ji, Ji Mi and other frontline generals very troubled.

It can be said that Linzi's officials do not know the general situation. Linzi has indeed spent a lot of money this time. It spread its financial resources like a boy spreading wealth and recruited hundreds of thousands or even more martial arts warriors. It can be said that Linzi's scholars

You know the general story, gentlemen, that group of people are still holding on to those elite troops, and this time, even the left prime minister Zhao Zhao was persuaded by them.

In this case, the only people who can rely on the Kaiyang front line are these martial arts warriors.

After inspecting for a while, Ji Mi and Zou Ji returned to Kaiyang City and ordered Tian Wu to be reinstated.

"...the appearance of the martial arts warriors who have experienced the last battle has indeed changed. In my opinion, they have become much calmer and no longer as noisy as before. They can be used for the time being; but the newly arrived soldiers, I'm afraid

It’s useless...”

"Hmm."

After hearing the replies from Ji Mi and Zou Ji, Tian Wu nodded.

Tian Wu had a clear view of the battle in the past two days, and found that among the hundreds of thousands of martial arts warriors, there was a mixture of good and bad. There were veterans from the regular armies of various countries in the Central Plains, as well as reckless rangers who were not used to fighting on the battlefield, as well as

Ordinary civilians and such a mixed army are certainly difficult to dispatch and command, but Tian Wu still feels that this ragtag group can defeat the Chu State's grain soldiers and even the Chu State's regular army.

Why?

The reason is simple, it's the bounty.

Chu's grain-recruited soldiers were purely civilians recruited with grain. There was no so-called military pay. The harvest of the soldiers depended entirely on their own plunder. However, although Chu's regular army was paid with military pay, how could it compare with Qi's?

Is the army giving out bounties based on the number of enemies killed?

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. As long as this group of martial arts warriors are not defeated by the Chu army with an overwhelming advantage, as long as this group of people still feel that Qi State can still persist, then this group of soldiers who were lured by money will not only

It will not be defeated, but will become more and more courageous.

Of course, before that, the most important thing is to let these people adapt to this kind of war as quickly as possible.

And the way to adapt is undoubtedly war.

The next day, Tian Wu once again led these hundreds of thousands of martial arts warriors to attack the Chu army.

At this time, the army under Chu Shouling Jun Jingyun was setting up camp thirty miles south of Kaiyang City. When he learned that Qi General Tian Wu was coming to attack, he would certainly not be timid. After all, no matter how brave Tian Wu was, he would never be able to rely on his strength to attack.

Single-handedly, he defeated hundreds of thousands of troops under his command.

As a result, the Qi and Chu armies clashed again that day.

The result is not difficult to predict. Chu's grain recruits faced Qi's martial arts warriors. Both sides were rabble-rous. They simply consumed each other's strength. The Chu army could fully afford it, and the Qi army could also afford it.

rise.

In this way, as of the end of April, Qi General Tian Wu took hundreds of thousands of martial arts warriors under his command to the battle in five days. Under normal circumstances, he only observed the battle situation in his own formation. Only when the martial arts warriors were at a disadvantage, he would personally

Go out and lead the elite soldiers of the Donghai Navy or Donglai Army to attack the Chu army's lineup to restore the disadvantage.

After a few times, Yang You, the general next to Chu Shouling Jun Jingyun, gradually saw the clues and said to the former: "Young Master, this Tian Wu is clearly using our army's miscellaneous soldiers to train..."

In fact, Lord Shouling Jingyun also vaguely had this speculation. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "Even if you know his intentions, how can you stop him?"

"This..." Yang You was speechless.

Also, even if he knew that Tian Wu's purpose was to use the Chu army's food to recruit soldiers and sharpen those martial arts warriors, what could the Chu army do?

Is it possible that we can't avoid the battle?

Wouldn't this further increase the Qi army's momentum?

Or should we say, send out the regular troops under your command?

But the problem is that Shouling Lord Jingyun really felt that he was at a huge loss by exchanging soldiers from the regular army for miscellaneous soldiers (martial arts warriors) from the Qi army.

But having said that, Shouling Jun Jingyun, a noble son of Chu State, although not good at military affairs, is decisive and straightforward in doing things, quite similar to his father Shouling Jun Jingshe's style. He thought for a moment

After that, he said in a deep voice: "Instead of asking Tian Wu to use our army's miscellaneous soldiers to achieve the purpose of training troops, it is better to make a decisive decision... Wait until the next time he leads his troops to attack, Yang You, you lead the main army to break in from the flank and defeat Qi Qi in one fell swoop.

Those miscellaneous soldiers of the army!"

After hearing this, Yang You praised happily: "My lord, this is a wonderful plan!"

In fact, as the right-hand man of the former Shouling Junjingshe, it was not that Yang You had not thought of this strategy, but he never expected that his eldest son, who did not know much about military matters, would be so decisive.

For a moment, Yang You seemed to be able to vaguely see the head of the family he had previously been loyal to - Shouling Jun Jingshe in the figure of the eldest son.

It is undeniable that Shouling Jun Jingyun's judgment was very decisive and wise, but he only ignored one thing, and that was the growth rate of the Qi army's martial arts warriors.

During these days, under Tian Wu's deliberate guidance, the martial arts warriors in the Qi army were simply transformed. Those naive guys who once thought they could kill everyone on the battlefield have either become corpses on the battlefield or their consciousnesses. After realizing my own stupidity, I honestly learned to survive on the battlefield like a qualified soldier by closely cooperating with Tongze, which greatly reduced the casualty rate of these martial arts warriors.

From the beginning, there were over 10,000 casualties, which gradually decreased, and it seemed to have the aura of a regular army.

This made it possible that after the latter battle, Chu Shouling Lord Jingyun was unable to defeat the Qi army's martial arts warriors in one fell swoop even though he sent out his regular troops. The latter was still only slightly at a disadvantage.

At this time, Shouling Jun Jingyun and General Yang You realized that it would be difficult to defeat Qi General Tian Wu with the strength of his army alone, so they had to ask for help from several other Chu armies.

In early May, after Xiong Li, Lord of Diyang, took complete control of Donghai County, he finally led reinforcements to help.

But it is a pity that during this period, Qi State Linzi continued to recruit martial arts warriors and sent them to Kaiyang County one after another. As a result, Qi General Tian Wu fought seven or eight battles with Shouling Jun Jingyun, and his subordinates Instead of decreasing, the number of troops increased.

What's more important is that in these military trainings, the martial arts warriors of the Qi army were like panning for gold. They gradually developed an army with considerable combat effectiveness by surviving the fittest and eliminating the fittest.

The strong survive and the weak die. After several battles, there are more and more old soldiers like Scar Lao Chang and reckless rangers like Liu Shi, the ranger of the Patriotic Kingdom. What is even more commendable is that these reckless rangers and desperadoes are still alive. Gradually, he learned how to act like a good soldier and increase his chances of survival on the battlefield.

During this period, Ya Wuqing clearly saw the changes in his ragtag group over the past few days, and he had to admire: the power of money is really terrifying.

In late May, probably because Shouling Lord Jingyun and Diyang Lord Xiong Li were having trouble attacking Kaiyang, Chu Gongzi Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo personally led the army to the junction of Langya Army.

During this period, according to inquiries from the Qingya people under Yawu, the few remaining regular armies in Qi, namely the Jimo Army, the Beihai Navy, the Langya Army, and even the Feixiong Army, were also making subtle moves, and seemed to be preparing. ready to go to the front lines and join the battle at any time.

Originally, Ya Wu did not think that the Qi State could withstand the Chu State's offensive, but during these days, after he witnessed the "power of money" with his own eyes, he gradually changed his mind.

Of course, the specific outcome depends on the subsequent decisive battle between Qi and Chu.

At the same time, in Julu County, South Korea, the Crown Prince of Wei, Zhao Hongrun, was standing at the window with his hands behind his back, recalling in his mind the secret letters sent by Ya Wu these days.

"...I really didn't expect that Qi's money offensive was actually...ha! Well, even if Qi can resist the Chu army, the Chu army still has a huge advantage. If it were me, it would be temporary

Slow down the offensive of Qi State and attack Lu State instead. First obtain Lu State's craftsmanship and technology. Once Lu State is destroyed, even if Chu State cannot overthrow Qi State in a short time, Qi State's national destiny may not last long...

"Is there anyone in the Lu State who can compete with Xiang Mo, Xiang Pei and other Chu generals?"
