Chapter 1133: Han Xin?!

After watching the mine shafts for a while, Qin Mu took Zhang Liang to the military camp.

The soldiers here were all trained by Wei Zhuang and Zhao Yun together.

Although the time was very short, the effect was still quite good.

Looking at these spirited and vigorous teenagers, Qin Mu felt an indescribable gratification; these would all be his own foundation in the future, and with them, Ba-Shu would not fear any strong enemy!

Qin Mu didn't go forward, but just took Zhang Liang and watched from a distant mountain.

"Zifang, the weather is starting to get cold."

"Yes, Lord, there is still half a month until the winter solstice."

"The Qin Army is only three days away from us; you say if I only use new recruits in this battle, how many people will die?"

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans suddenly appeared on Zhang Liang's forehead; isn't this making things difficult for him, Zhang Liang?

One hundred thousand elite Qin troops against five hundred thousand new recruits, and these five hundred thousand new recruits haven't even been fully equipped with weapons yet.

"I'm afraid there will be thirty thousand losses?" Zhang Liang said somewhat uncertainly.

Although they were defending the city, the other side was elite, and they were just new recruits; Zhang Liang felt thirty thousand was already somewhat conservative.

He guessed that at least fifty thousand or more people would have to die before the Qin Army would retreat; that's right, just retreat!

According to his observation, although Wei Zhuang is powerful, he is not very good at leading troops; Zhao Yun can lead small detachments, but with many people, it is likely a bit difficult to control.

It was mainly because he was afraid of making Qin Mu angry, so Zhang Liang said the number thirty thousand.

Who knew Qin Mu would laugh heartily and say.

"Zifang, you are wrong about this; I say the number of new recruits who die in this war will not exceed ten thousand!"

"The victory of war often requires the right time, the right place, and the right people; do you know which one the Qin Army possesses?"

Facing Qin Mu's laughter, Zhang Liang was somewhat silent; he was a bit unsure.

The previous hundred-refinement steel, as well as the mine shafts, and everything in Ba-Shu all indicated that Qin Mu was not simple.

But now he said only ten thousand new recruits would die; how is this possible!

Not to mention the weapon problem, just relying on leaving the city to fight is clearly impossible, so it can only be a defensive battle, but letting new recruits defend the city, let alone repelling them, even defending the city would be difficult, right?

And five cities, no one knows which one the other side will attack, right?

Seeing Zhang Liang thinking for a long time without speaking, Qin Mu thought Zhang Liang couldn't answer, so he said again.

"The right time, the weather is gradually getting cold; by the time the Qin Army arrives, I'm afraid there will be a heavy snow; Zhuge Kongming's weather observation technique is still very powerful."

"It's cold, attacking the city will only be more difficult."

"The right place, we defend the city, they attack the city; our five cities are connected together; no matter which city they attack, they will be dealing with the soldiers of the entire Ba-Shu!"

"The right people, the entire Ba-Shu is united; no matter how tricky their angle is, it will be very difficult to attack into the city, and even if they attack in, they will be extinguished by the numerous people of Ba-Shu."

"How about it, Zifang, do you believe it?"

Facing Qin Mu's questioning, Zhang Liang could only nod in agreement, but in his heart, he still didn't quite believe that things would be so simple.

Especially that sentence about heavy snow? How is this possible!

Qin Mu didn't expect Zhang Liang to fully believe him either; after all, concepts have to be changed slowly.

Actually, Qin Mu wanted to say that the casualties wouldn't exceed five thousand, but he thought about it and decided against it, so as not to scare Zhang Liang and make him feel he was an exaggerated Lord.

However, what Qin Mu didn't know was that Zhang Liang already felt his Lord was a bit exaggerated at this moment.

"Let's go, Zifang, let's go take a look at the new army."

Qin Mu finally decided to go take a look at the new recruits; after all, when recruiting the new army, he had told Guo Jia the detailed training methods.

After walking into the military camp, Zhang Liang felt even more that the sacrifice of fifty thousand people was too conservative.

What did he see?

Countless people running in a circle drawn with white lines, each carrying a large stone on their back, everyone panting, faces flushed, bodies covered in sweat.

On the other side, a group of people were jumping like frogs there; Zhang Liang really couldn't understand what the use of this was.

Could it be to exercise their stamina?

But war is not just about having good stamina; every move to kill the enemy is likely just going to die!

But Zhang Liang hadn't seen a single person holding a weapon along the way, let alone practicing swords; they were all doing some strange movements there.

Qin Mu smiled after seeing the surprised Zhang Liang; how could the ancients understand the training methods of the future?

Time will prove everything, but Qin Mu had to admire Guo Jia; originally Guo Jia was opposed, but on the third day, Guo Jia agreed.

It seemed Guo Jia also discovered the usability of this training method.

Finally, arriving at the very center of the military camp, Zhang Liang finally saw two teams of people attacking each other with wooden swords.

Zhang Liang even felt that the swordsmanship of many people was likely not inferior to his own!

One had to know that he had practiced swords since childhood; not to mention twenty years, fifteen years was definitely there.

What about them?

One month? Or two months?

Even if it was three months, three months of time to turn from an ordinary person into a soldier whose swordsmanship was not inferior to his own, this was too exaggerated, right?

"Zilong pays respects to the Lord!"

"Wei Zhuang pays respects to the Lord."

At this time, Zhao Yun and Wei Zhuang walked over; not seen for a few days, Wei Zhuang's aura had become even deeper.

Zhang Liang even felt that if Ge Nie and Wei Zhuang fought again, Wei Zhuang likely wouldn't suffer so many injuries.

"Not bad, you have become stronger again." Qin Mu nodded and said with satisfaction.

The current Wei Zhuang could be sent out as a vanguard general; I'm afraid the deterrent power would not be ordinary.

"This is all thanks to Zilong's selfless guidance; he let me learn more elegant swordsmanship." Wei Zhuang said respectfully.

Clearly, Zhao Yun had explained his spear techniques to Wei Zhuang and helped him blend them into his swordsmanship.

"Not bad, not bad; how is the new recruit company training?"

"Replying to the Lord, five small generals have been selected from the five hundred thousand new army, each leading ten ten-thousand-man commanders." Wei Zhuang said somewhat proudly.

Fifty ten-thousand-man commanders, and five small generals had all been guided countless times by him and Zhao Yun; each could be considered a good hand in the Jianghu.

The point was they were very talented, learned very quickly, and were also very hardworking; Wei Zhuang was very satisfied with them. ===== CHAPTER 1135 =====
