these would all be his foundation in the future, and with them, Bashu would not fear any strong enemy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Mu didn't go up, but just took Zhang Liang to watch from a distant mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zifang, it's starting to get cold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Lord, it will be the Winter Solstice in half a month.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Qin Army is only three days' journey away from us; you say if I only use new recruits in this battle, how many people will die?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beads of sweat the size of soybeans suddenly appeared on Zhang Liang's forehead; isn't this making things difficult for him, Zhang Liang?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably there will be thirty thousand losses?\" Zhang Liang said with some uncertainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they were defending the city, the other side was elite, and they were just new recruits; Zhang Liang felt thirty thousand was a bit conservative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He guessed that at least fifty thousand people would have to die before the Qin Army would retreat; that's right, retreat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to his observations, although Wei Zhuang is formidable, he is not very good at leading troops; Zhao Yun can lead small units, but with more people, he is probably a bit hard to control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was mainly because he was afraid of making Qin Mu angry, so Zhang Liang said the number thirty thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew Qin Mu would laugh heartily and say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zifang, you're wrong about that; I say the number of new recruit deaths in this war won't exceed ten thousand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The victory of war often requires favorable weather, terrain, and human conditions; do you know which one the Qin Army possesses?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Qin Mu's laughter, Zhang Liang was silent; he was a bit unsure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous hundred-refinement steel, the mine tunnels, and everything in Bashu all indicated that Qin Mu was not simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now he said only ten thousand new recruits would die; how could this be possible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the weapon problem, just going out of the city to fight is clearly impossible, so it can only be a defensive battle; however, letting new recruits defend the city, let alone repelling them, it would be difficult to even hold the city, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there are five cities; no one knows which one the other side will attack, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhang Liang thinking for a long time without speaking, Qin Mu thought Zhang Liang couldn't answer, so he said again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weather, it's getting cold; by the time the Qin Army arrives, there will probably be a heavy snow; Master Zhuge Kongming's weather observation technique is still very formidable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's cold, so attacking the city will only be harder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Terrain, we are defending the city, they are attacking; our five cities are connected together, no matter which city they attack, they will be dealing with the soldiers of the entire Bashu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Human conditions, the entire Bashu is united; no matter how tricky their angle is, it will be difficult to attack into the city, and even if they do, they will be extinguished by the many people of Bashu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about it, Zifang, do you believe it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Qin Mu's questioning, Zhang Liang could only nod to show agreement, but in his heart, he still didn't quite believe that things would be this simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially that sentence about heavy snow? How could this be possible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Mu didn't expect Zhang Liang to fully believe him either; after all, concepts have to be changed slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Qin Mu wanted to say that casualties wouldn't exceed five thousand, but he thought about it and decided against it, lest he scare Zhang Liang and make him think he was an exaggerated Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what Qin Mu didn't know was that Zhang Liang already felt his Lord was a bit exaggerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go, Zifang, let's go see the new army.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Mu finally decided to go see the new recruits; after all, when recruiting the new army, he had told Guo Jia the detailed training methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking into the military camp, Zhang Liang felt even more that the sacrifice of fifty thousand people was too conservative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did he see?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless people running in a circle drawn with white lines, each carrying a large stone on their back, everyone panting, faces flushed, and covered in sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, a group of people were jumping around Wu Li Ke frogs; Zhang Liang really couldn't understand what the use of this was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be to exercise their stamina?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But war isn't just about having good stamina; every move to kill the enemy is probably just sending them to their deaths!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Liang hadn't seen anyone practicing swordsmanship along the way, not even a person holding a weapon; they were all doing some strange movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Mu smiled after looking at the surprised Zhang Liang; how could the ancients understand future training methods?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time would prove everything, but Qin Mu had to admire Guo Jia; originally Guo Jia was opposed, but on the third day, Guo Jia agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Guo Jia had also discovered the usefulness of this training method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, in the middle of the military camp, Zhang Liang finally saw two teams of people holding wooden swords and attacking each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Liang even felt that the swordsmanship of many of them was probably on par with his own!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have to know that he had been practicing swordsmanship since he was a child; not to mention twenty years, fifteen years was certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One month? Or two months?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it was three months, three months to turn from an ordinary person into a soldier whose swordsmanship was on par with his own, this was too exaggerated, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zilong pays respects to the Lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wei Zhuang pays respects to the Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Zhao Yun and Wei Zhuang walked over; not seen for a few days, Wei Zhuang's aura had become even deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Liang even felt that if Ge Nie and Wei Zhuang fought again, Wei Zhuang probably wouldn't suffer so many injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, you've become stronger again.\" Qin Mu nodded and said with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Wei Zhuang could be sent out as a vanguard general; the deterrent power would probably be quite significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is thanks to Zilong's selfless guidance; he let me learn more elegant swordsmanship.\" Wei Zhuang said with some respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Zhao Yun had explained his spear technique to Wei Zhuang and helped him integrate it into his swordsmanship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, not bad; how are the new recruits training?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Answering the Lord, five small generals have been selected from the fifty thousand new army, and each small general leads ten ten-thousand-man commanders.\" Wei Zhuang said with some pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fifty ten-thousand-man commanders and the five small generals had all been guided countless times by him and Zhao Yun, and each of them could be considered an expert in the Jianghu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The point is they were very talented, learned very quickly, and were very hard-working; Wei Zhuang was very satisfied with them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1255,"2026-06-15T19:13:03.957Z","2026-06-15T19:16:48.062Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","1d6f59aef5879e23d1b336569104c3510186559032a729adc1d8ecbe450ccc27","great-tang-ten-years-of-sign-ins-in-tubo-returni-chapter-588","great-tang-ten-years-of-sign-ins-in-tubo-returni-chapter-586",605,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreat-tang-ten-years-of-sign-ins-in-tubo-returni-cover.jpg"]
