Chapter 478
Before Qin took action, Qi was in chaos. After all, King Jian of Qi made a choice that surprised the world, or was admiring, to prepare for war.
Qi has never been truly weak. When it comes to the strength of its national strength, it has never fallen out of the top three positions in the former Qi State at any time.
Especially in recent decades, Qi has been in trouble in the world, and has been determined to live its own life behind closed doors and escaped from the burden of war, which has allowed Qi to accumulate a huge amount of wealth in these decades.
Therefore, after King Jian of Qi made up his mind to reorganize his army and prepare for war, the massive resources of Qi were quickly mobilized, and in just two months, it had already gathered 400,000 troops in Qi.
But King Jian of Qi could not be implemented in the entire Qi State. Qi State is a very rich country, not only the country, but also their people are also rich, especially those nobles who like to do business. All of them are rich, but most of the rich have one problem, that is, they are afraid of death.
The more you have, the more you are afraid of losing.
Therefore, when King Jian of Qi was determined to resist to the end, many people were thinking about surrender.
Of course, there are not all surrender factions in Qi, nor are there shortages of resistance factions. Most of these people escaped from the five former countries. Their choice to escape itself represents the attitude of all Qin.
King Jian of Qi seemed to have also ushered in his highlight moment, using the power of these people to attack the power of the surrender faction, and among them, there were even people from the farmers in Luowang who helped fuel the fire. Assassination and house searches emerged one after another in Qi.
In this way, in the third month, the King of Qi finally formed an army of 600,000. Qi seemed to have returned to the peak of King Min of Qi, but his so-called army was only a small number.
After all, there have been two generations of people in Qi State who have never fought. They have long forgotten how to fight. Three months are not enough to get them to pick up this skill again.
"This is the last chance. Ying Zheng underestimated the enemy after all. Now the 600,000 troops of Qi are waiting, but he only sent 300,000 troops, which is even more a taboo in military strategists and choose to divide troops into three groups with weak forces. He underestimated Qi, underestimated Qi Wang Jian, and even underestimated Qi people." Yan Dan, who lived in the Jixia Academy as a giant in the Mo family, rushed to assist Qi, looked at the information in his hand and smiled sadly.
After many years, he finally saw a glimmer of opportunity. Sure enough, the strongest time is also the weakest time. Although the Qin State was invincible at this time, it was precisely because of the invincibility that Ying Zheng had lost his usual cautiousness. Now, a young general was to lead an army of 300,000 to attack Qi State, which is undoubtedly a foolish decision.
"Meng Tian, the leader of the Meng family generation, Brother Yan, should not be underestimated." Tian Meng, a farmer who was sitting opposite Yan Dan, said.
"I have seen Meng Tian, who has been with Wang Jian over the years and has made many military achievements. However, his troops have never exceeded 30,000. Now he is rashly leading the army of 300,000, which is very likely to repeat the mistakes of Zhao Kuo back then." Yan Dan said.
For a general, the more troops he commands, the better. After all, the ability of a man is limited. Some generals are very capable of commanding 10,000 people, but they can't perform it if they command 100,000 people.
Three hundred thousand army? How many people in the world can command such a large-scale army? Bai Qi, Xinling Jun, Lian Po, Wang Jian, Li Mu, and even Xiang Yan from the past few years can do it, but Yan Dan really can't think of anyone who can do it.
"Brother Yan, even if Meng Tian is Zhao Kuo, Qi State does not have Bai Qi." Tian Meng said.
"Brother Tian, don't see it too clearly, as it will affect morale a lot." Yan Dan said.
"We can deceive others or ourselves in this kind of thing." Tian Meng said.
Although the Qi army has 600,000, there are only 100,000 people who can be called elite. In the face of the 300,000 elite Qin army, Tian Meng dared not have too many expectations for whether he could fight to win. His greatest hope is that Qi can defend his territory and not be destroyed by Qin. Only in that way can they have the opportunity to master the power to fight back in the possible changes in the future. Otherwise, with the people of the peasant Mo family, they would not be able to stop the Qin State that unified the world.
"What we need to do is to deceive those people and let them see hope. Only in this way can we strengthen those people's determination to resist." Yan Dan said.
Yan Dan has many stupid people, but if you want to deceive others, the first thing you have to do is to deceive yourself.
"It's still Brother Yan's opinion." Tian Meng was slightly stunned.
In terms of shamelessness, I should really be willing to give in front of him. Tian Meng looked at Yan Dan, who was calm and thought to himself.

Mohist government city.
The old man, respected by the Mo family disciples, looked at the empty Mo family's government city, and was so gray that he couldn't help but wrinkle together.
"What's wrong with the Mo family?" Mo Ban said in a heavy mood.
"What's wrong with the Mo family? Isn't such changes our own choice?" said a thin middle-aged man behind Mo Ban.
"What do you mean?" Mo Ban looked at him and asked.
"In the past ten years, my Mo family disciples have lost 30% because of Qin, and these 30% are elite disciples who are good at fighting. However, among my Mo family disciples, the proportion of disciples who are good at mechanical techniques among all disciples has changed from 55 to 37%. Is this normal?" The person who came was Master Xu of the Mo family's sword-making master.
"This is not normal." Mo Ban said.
He knew why Master Xu said that. Over the years, the Mo family has lost many disciples, but has also recruited more disciples. However, among these newly recruited disciples, most of them have chosen to practice martial arts, while there are very few people who have practiced mechanical skills.
What made the Mo Ban even more dissatisfied was that these new disciples who practice martial arts or practice mechanical skills had chosen to forget the foundation of the Mo family and the knowledge passed down by Mozi, the founder of the Mo family.
Nowadays, few people in the Mo family have learned those things. If this continues, even if Qin does not take action against the Mo family, the Mo family itself will slowly disappear. The mark on the former body has become increasingly weak. The Mo class often worrys that if this continues, in less than ten years, the Mo family will completely become a sect in the martial arts world, rather than the top ones among the top hundreds of schools.
The Mohist school is first of all one of the hundreds of schools of thought, not a sect in the world.
But what should he say about these words? Although he has a high status within the Mohist school, he only has status.
"What is the reason for this abnormality?" asked Master Xu.
"Because of the giant." Mo Ban said sadly. He didn't understand some things, but he was just helpless.
