C17 The Way of Soldiers

"Good disciple. A few days ago, it was all thanks to you. Otherwise, I would have broken my old bones on the road." Hsu Shen sighed.

"What is Master Xu saying?" Since the Heaven and Earth Lord is his own master and his parents are not here, Master Xu is no different from them. Naturally, I will protect him with all my might. " Xiao Yan said with a stern expression.

Hsu Shen smiled, with admiration in his eyes. This time, Xiao Yan risked his life to protect him, allowing him to completely accept Xiao Yan as his disciple.

"Kid, you are prepared for a rainy day. You have secretly trained quite a number of private soldiers. It is likely that you are not the only one who appeared that day, no?" Hsu Shen smiled.

"Master Xu is right, this world is no longer peaceful. The late emperor and the current emperor would sell it for an official, with the fifth duke standing before them. Today, the imperial court has ten generals that rule the world."

Xiao Yan's expression gradually turned serious. "As the saying goes, when a nation is about to die, there must be a demon. The imperial court practices favoritism and malpractices for personal gain. The local undercurrents are surging. I'm afraid the world is not going to be peaceful!"

Hsu Shen frowned and sighed: "Ai …" "Kid, what you said makes some sense. If you don't raise your private soldiers, we might have to go to the underworld together."

"The cloud of saints can help the poor and the strong. The disciples raise private soldiers not only to protect themselves, but also to protect the common people in the future." Xiao Yan said sincerely.

The formidable Cao Cao Cao once wrote "Walk in the Ways", which described the scene after the chaos of the Han Dynasty, yellow cloth and Dung Zhuo: The bones are exposed to the wild, and no one smokes for a thousand miles; it really is a nine out of ten rooms.

According to historical records, in the last year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the total population had already reached more than 50 million. In the first year of the Western Jin Dynasty, the total population had reached less than 16 million.

Although there was no lack of people who were protected by the Aristocratic Family, this great disturbance was definitely an unprecedented disaster for the citizens.

Hsu Shen praised: "Good boy, to help the world, who would have thought that twenty children have the sage qi! I am the teacher of saints. "

"The reason why I called you over today is to teach you how to use troops."

Xiao Yan was overjoyed when he heard this. He knew nothing about leading soldiers to war, and the chaos in his yellow shirt was about to erupt. His only subordinate, General Taishi Ci, had just left at this time.

"The general is not more than three." Hsu Shen said leisurely, "One is like an overlord, able to carry a cauldron with his strength. Fighting with courage, like a giant deer breaking through two hundred thousand Qin soldiers, or the thirty thousand Steel Cavalry breaking the combined army of Gao Zu five hundred and sixty thousand soldiers."

Overlord Hsiang Yuh could be considered a famous general throughout the ages. As the saying went, "A god of feathers is valiant; there is no difference between the ages". Hsiang Yuh's battle accomplishments were all to be seen.

"Zhongce, do you have the courage to be an overlord while carrying a cauldron?" Hsu Shen asked.

Xiao Yan shook his head and said with a wry smile, "If I don't say it, I won't be able to do anything. I'm afraid that I won't be able to charge into the battle and kill everyone myself."

After being ambushed halfway that day, any of the little pawns could only suppress Xiao Yan to the point that he couldn't fight back. If it wasn't for the fact that they wanted to capture him alive to extort Xiao Mansion, his life was hard to say.

If Xiao Yan came to this era a little earlier, he might be able to have a strong body. Now it was impossible for him to train his martial arts skills in two months, unless he was born with godly strength.

Hsu Shen nodded his head and continued, "The two of them are like Duke Huai Yin; they are well-prepared and profound. When they leave Chen Cang, they walk in the opposite direction. Even the overlord cannot help but fall into Duke Huai Yin's hands."

Duke Huai Yin was naturally Han Xin, one of the three prodigies of the early Han Dynasty. Back then, Liu Bahn was stuck at Hanzhong, and the majority of his subordinates were warriors from the south.

It was Han Xin who suggested to Liu Bahn that they first settle the situation between him and San Qin, compete with Hsiang Yuh in the east and lead the army personally. Then, with a small amount of manpower, they defeated the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Qi and Zhao empires.

And it is worth mentioning that Han Xin is the outstanding general of the "militant faction", while the defeated Hsiang Yuh is the representative of the "militant faction".

"I am interested in learning martial arts, but I fear that my talent is insufficient. Furthermore, I am unable to reach the realm of Duke Huai Yin within the next two months." Xiao Yan sighed.

Although Xiao Yan had the eyes of a latecomer and was able to foresee the future of the world for hundreds of years, this was his strength.

If he were to fight in the wild now and let Xiao Yan command an army to fight another army, then he would definitely be flustered and didn't know what to do.

Hsu Shen nodded again. He stroked his beard and said, "Good disciple, looks like you can only walk down the third path."

Xiao Yan said respectfully, "Why do you not know the third party? Please guide me, Master Xu. "

"Do you know Wu Zi?" Hsu Shen said.

Wu Zi, who was also known as the Military's Sub-Sage Wu Qi, was second only to his grandson. Just like Meng Zi, he had also written a book called "The Art of War".

Wei Wu's training standards were very strict, and the selected person was able to wear three layers of Heavy Armor, open twelve strong stone bows, carry fifty crossbow arrows, carry a spear in hand, carry a sharp sword on his belt, and carry around three days' worth of food on his back. He was able to walk for over a hundred miles in half a day, which showed the quality of his body.

In the first 389 years of the Yin Jin battle, Wu Qi personally led 50,000 of his men to defeat 500,000 Qin soldiers and ten times of the enemy's strength. Since Wei Wu's men were so powerful, Wu Qi's own martial arts strategy could be seen.

However, even though Wu Qi used troops like a god, the past generations did not treat him as a simple commander. This was because after Wu Qi left the country of Wei, he came to the southern part of Chu.

Unfortunately, because the aristocrats of Chu followed the old ways, Wu Qi's transformation had offended their interests, so after the King of Chu's bear companion died, the old aristocrats wanted to kill him. Even if Wu Qi had pounced on his bear companion, he did not escape his fate of death, but was instead shot to death by the old aristocrat's arrows.

Therefore, after the new King Chu ascended to the throne, these old nobles would be executed along with him.

"Does your disciple know the secret behind Wu Zi's godly use of weapons to break through the enemy's ten times strength?" Hsu Shen stroked his long beard as he stared at Xiao Yan.

Wu Zi has written the《 Wu Zi's Martial Art》, he must be a godly person like Duke Huai Yin, who uses troops like a god. If he commands, then the Qin Nation will not have to undergo the Shang Martingale's Transformation, and their country will not be strong, neither will they have to face the same level of famous generals as Wu An, naturally destroyed by Wei Wu's soldiers.

Xiao Yan thought for a while and slowly replied.

"You're right, Wu Zi does use force like a god, but this is no different from Duke Huai Yin, so he is not considered a third party."
