Jiang Yu stared at the sky with his hands behind his back and said coldly: "There is no reason to start a war, but it must have a purpose. The best purpose of the war is to plunder wealth."

Simply put, as long as other countries have them but my country does not have them, you can launch a war and grab back what you don’t have.

Of course, before starting a war, it is best to let the other party take the initiative to pay tribute to the things through "political negotiations".

If the other party fights desperately to the end, he has to seize what he has no one through war.

With thousands of years of history in China, all literati talked about opposing war and preaching the principle that "even if a country is big, it will perish if it is a big country."

But if you don’t hit others, there will always be someone else to hit you.

As the offensive side, they have strategic intentions and need to start the war so that they can achieve their desired goals.

As a defensive party, it is just a defense.

War is a waste of money and money, that's certain.

If it is not necessary, Jiang Xi actually doesn't want to start a war easily.

But the essence of nature is the prey of the weak. Because of pity on the weak, he does not eat meat. Even if he is not starved to death, he will probably have malnutrition.

In Chinese history, the Han and Tang dynasties were undoubtedly powerful, but the Song and Qing dynasties were malnourished.

Especially in the Qing Dynasty when sweet potatoes were prosperous, I couldn’t starve to death, but how could I become stronger without eating meat?

After hearing Jiang Yu's words, Xiao He gained something and nodded, "In fact, since the Marquis defeated the Huns, his subordinates have always had this idea. Some countries become weaker and weaker as they fight, but some countries become stronger and stronger as they fight."

"Like Qin, like Marquis, you have become stronger step by step in the war."

"Although the people of Qi, which have not been in war for many years, are rich, their army is vulnerable..."

Fall!

Jiang Xi glanced at Xiao He and said to himself: "Mr. Xiao He said, the battle between this marquis and Qi State... is it not fierce to win?"

Xiao He smiled bitterly and said, "I don't have this intention. It's just that the army has not fought for many years. Not only does it lack the spirit, but it also has no combat power. Once I face a strong enemy, I am afraid I will collapse at once!"

Jiang Xi smiled lightly and said, "That's the reason! Keep talking!"

"yes!"

Xiao He responded and continued: "My subordinates have studied the strategy of governing the country countless times. The Marquis wants to limit the royal power and avoid the situation of the family and the world. At the same time, the military and political divisions are divided, and the position of prime minister and the Ministry of National Defense is established to elect prime ministers with the electoral system, forming a situation where the monarch and the people rule the world together."

"But my subordinates found that the Marquis' strategy for governing the country was more inclined to the Mohist techniques and military ideas."

"I originally thought that the Marquis wanted to open up a larger territory outside the seven countries, but now it seems that the Marquis was prepared for it."

Jiang Feng smiled arrogantly and said, "Not bad! Just building a county requires a lot of labor, let alone building the whole country?"

"Slavery may be a bad habit, but if people from other tribes are slaves and build a country for our descendants of Yan and Huang, I am afraid no one will object."

Xiao He nodded, pondered for a moment, and reminded: "But if wars are frequent, the loss of national strength will be equally huge, so we have to be careful of this matter."

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "It depends on the ability of the prime minister."

The disadvantage of being on the defensive in the war is undoubtedly revealed in this battle between Qin and Zhao.

The purpose of the Qin State's war was to weaken the national strength of Zhao State. As long as the war lasted, their goal would be achieved.

However, the war between Zhao State was actually without purpose. Perhaps the only purpose of Zhao State was to resist Qin State.

So even though Li Mu repelled Wang Jian's army, Zhao State was still defeated.

From this point of view, the Mohist idea of ​​"non-aggression and love" is just a nonsense, which is a bad word that will harm the country and the people.

If it weren't for the Mohist technique, Jiang Yu might have really pursued the Mohist family like Ying Zheng.

On the contrary, Jiang Yu admired the losers very much.

The Mohist and the Public Losers have one role in the people and the other role in the army, but neither is indispensable.

...

The sun was gradually sinking, and in a military camp in the western border of Zhao, the stars of raindrops were filled with a strange dark red under the remaining sunset, like bloodshots splattered everywhere.

In the camp, there were Qin soldiers in black clothes and black armor everywhere, with ferocious iron faces to intimidate the enemy on the battlefield.

Sitting in the army's tent, Wang Jian looked at the map of Zhao State on the table, frowned slightly, and his eyes exuded a sense of fighting spirit.

From a strategic perspective, the purpose of Qin State has basically been completed after this battle.

Zhao's national strength was greatly weakened and it would definitely not be able to slow down in less than four or five years.

The soldiers and generals of Qin have made military achievements and will receive rewards from the King of Qin after returning to the country.

After Ying Zheng took power, he established his authority for the first time and also captured several cities in Zhao State.

So for Wang Jian, this battle is almost the same as here.

He had already received news that Li Mu's army had rushed to the front line, and Jiang Xi had also led an army of 50,000 to the front line to assist in the war.

There is no need to attack. With only a 200,000 army, if Li Mu were not there, he might have been able to destroy Zhao State.

But with Li Mu and Jiang Yu, Wang Jian also needed at least 400,000 troops to achieve the goal of conquering Zhao State.

So next, Qin will be on the defensive.

The Qin State's defence was not a real defense, but a guardian of the benefits they had already obtained.

The number of cities in Zhao State was captured, but how many cities could be defended depends on the next battle.

And the best defense is actually offense.

Wang Jian drew two lines on the map, which was his prediction of the march route between Jiang Ju and Li Mu.

Li Mu couldn't stop it, but Jiang Yu came from afar from Dai County, but he might not have no chance of ambushing him.

Wang Jian clicked his finger on the map, and hesitated in his heart.

Although he had never played against Li Mu and Jiang Yu, Wang Jian was well-known for Li Mu and Jiang Yu.

Especially the year before yesterday, Jiang Yu fought with the Huns and marched 1,200 miles on nine days, which is a miracle in the history of marching.

Ambushing Jiang Xi... is actually very difficult.

"What is the general hesitating about?"

In front of Wang Jian were Meng Tian and Wang Li. They were a little older than Jiang Sheng, and they were also following Wang Jian to follow the army.

Wang Jian asked in a deep voice: "If you were sent to ambush Jiang Yu, where would you choose to set up an ambush and how would you set up an ambush?"

Wang Li fell into deep thought when he heard this. Meng Tian thought for a moment and said loudly: "When you return to the general, the last general will not set up an ambush, but will be on the spot and wait for Jiang Qi's tired army!"

Wang Jian asked in surprise: "Why is this?"

Wang Jian was actually not afraid of Li Mu. Like Li Mu, he was good at fighting against the two armies and defeated the enemy with a kingly army.

But when faced with Jiang Qi, a person who is a man of a wild tactic and good at winning surprises, Wang Jian felt a little tricky.

Of course, Wang Jian was not afraid of Jiang Qi's strange plan. He only needed to strictly enforce military discipline and not leave any flaws for Jiang Qi. If Jiang Qi's wisdom and strategy approached the monster, he would not have any chance to use his strange plan.
