Chapter 158: The Second Sage of Military Strategy! Ying Zheng is scared!
[Yes, it is the Wei Wuzu from the Warring States Period! ]

[And it was Wu Qi who created the Wei Wuzu]

The figure of Wu Qi from the documentary appeared on the sky curtain.

At the same time, the narration sounded.

[In any battlefield, where corpses are standing, if you must die, you will live; if you are lucky enough to live, you will die.]

[Source: Wu Zi. Military Administration.]

[This famous general in the early Warring States period was the second sage of military strategy. ]

[How legendary is his life! ]

……

Warring States Period.

Wu Qi was originally studying the tactics of line-up shooting that had just appeared on the sky.

The result was suddenly discovered.

The sky curtain actually appeared itself.

I was stunned for a moment.

But then I thought about it.

Since I took office, I have fought in dozens of battles, big and small, and was victorious in every one of them.

At the same time, he has also made some achievements in governing the country.

Now he has built his own Wei Wuzu troops.

It is undoubtedly the strongest force in the world.

And under his leadership, the State of Wei became the overlord among the vassal states.

Since I have achieved some results.

Then it will be noticed by the sky and told.

It doesn't seem to be an exaggeration.

Wu Qi smiled happily.

Put down the work at hand, look at the sky curtain seriously, how are you going to evaluate yourself?

……

And in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Wu Qi appearing on the sky, feeling a little surprised and a little worried.

Because not long ago, he had just expelled Wu Qi from the Temple of Martial Arts.

Although this was not a big deal for an emperor.

But it eventually caused some controversy.

Zhao Kuangyin was very clear about Wu Qi's military capabilities.

"Wu Qi's command level."

"It's not much different from mine."

“I hope that when Tianmu talks about Wu Qi next, he won’t just talk about Wu Qi’s abilities.”

"And we should talk more about how terrible Wu Qi's character is."

……

Canopy.

【First of all, Wu Qi's status among military strategists is very high.】

[He is known as the second sage of military strategy, second only to Sun Wu. 】

[His actual combat record is even better than Sun Wu's! ]

[Compared with Bai Qi, the god of killing who was widely respected in later generations, he is not inferior at all. 】

【But Wu Qi was a military commander and reformer with a strong record. 】

【Its historical evaluation is full of controversy. 】

[Not only modern netizens, but also many ancient kings believe that Wu Qi is cruel and mean, cold-hearted by nature, and not worthy of being given too high an evaluation. ]

[First of all, judging from historical records, Wu Qi was indeed not very good in his early years.]

[When he was young, he was very rich and his family had a lot of money.]

[But he was obsessed with being an official, and he spent all his money begging people everywhere, hoping to become an official.]

[In the end, he lost all his money and never became an official.]

[He was then ridiculed and mocked by many of his fellow villagers.]

[To put it simply, the rich second-generation Wu Qi spent his money looking for connections everywhere, but ended up wasting his money and not becoming an official, so he became a laughing stock.]

[Originally, I would have left it at that. ]

[It turns out that Wu Qi was indeed a cruel person.]

He killed more than thirty villagers who laughed at him, and then fled to the State of Lu.

[Before running away, Wu Qi bit his arm and swore to his old mother that he would never return to his hometown unless he became a high-ranking official at the level of a prime minister.]

[A bankrupt murderer said he wanted to become a high-ranking official leader, otherwise he would not return to his hometown. Who would believe this? ]

……

The comments were also surprised to see that Wu Qi was so cruel.

"Isn't this too cruel?"

Is this a bit too extreme?

"I think I understand why Lao Zhao kicked Wu Qi out of the Martial Temple?"

"Is this still a human being? Too brutal."

"What's going on? Is the personal strength so high? Can one person kill more than 30 people?"

"I understand Wu Qi's desire to be an official. If I had extraordinary talent but no stage to display it, I would be anxious too!"

……

Canopy.

[While in Lu, Wu Qi became a disciple of Zeng Shen.]

【And it should be more popular with Zeng Shen. 】

[Because Zengzi passed Zuo Zhuan to Wu Qi, many historians even believe that Zuo Zhuan was published after Wu Qi compiled it.]

[While Wu Qi was studying under Zengzi, his mother died.]

【According to reason, Wu Qi should have gone home to attend the funeral and observe mourning for three years.】

【But Wu Qi recalled his oath and decided not to return to Wei. 】

[This directly angered his teacher Zengzi, who expelled him from his school.]

【But this cannot be blamed on Zengzi being too ruthless. 】

[It was mainly Zengzi. Their school was based on filial piety, and Wu Qi, as Zengzi's favorite student, actually did something that was not filial. So it was normal for him to be punished by Zengzi. ]

【So it is normal for him to be punished by Zengzi. 】

【Wu Qi killed his neighbors indiscriminately, which was already a brutal crime.】

[He was expelled from his school for not observing filial piety, which again labeled Wu Qi as unfilial.]

【At this time, Wu Qi's reputation was already in disgrace.】

[Finally, Wu Qi surrendered to the King of Lu and looked for opportunities under him.]

[Soon after, Qi attacked Lu. The king of Lu knew that Wu Qi was a talented man, so he wanted to appoint him as a general.]

[But he was also concerned about Wu Qi's character, mainly because Wu Qi's wife was from Qi.]

[Wu Qi himself was a foreigner who came here to work.] [But his wife was from Qi.]

[Will Wu Qi be loyal? The King of Lu has concerns. ]

【Wu Qi knew about this.】

【So he made another very controversial move. 】

[That is, he killed his wife to prove his determination to the King of Lu. ]

[This is the story of killing one’s wife to become a general! ]

【Wu Qi finally got the chance to lead the army.】

[And he did not miss this opportunity. ]

[He led the weak Lu army to defeat the invading Qi army and became famous in one fell swoop. 】

……

《Bullet screen: Huh? He even killed his own wife?》

"The first sword you strike ashore is to kill the person you love first!"

"Don't you know the story of killing your wife to become a general?"

"Too fierce, a real man should be like this!"

"He is just a scumbag, what kind of man is he!"

"It's so inhumane."

"According to the latest statement, the story of killing one's wife to become a general was probably made up by Confucianists in later generations to discredit him."

……

[Wu Qi became famous in Lu, but also aroused the jealousy of many people. ]

[The other scholars and officials of Lu reported this to the king.]

【Said "As a man, I guess I can endure!"】

[It means that Wu Qi was a man without emotions and was very cruel. When others laughed at him, he killed more than 30 people. When his own mother died, he did not even go to the funeral.]

[For the sake of the system, even the wife can be killed. 】

[In addition to personal morality, diplomatic issues were also taken into consideration by the king of Lu.]

[One reason is that Wu Qi commanded the Lu army and performed outstandingly in previous battles.]

[They are worried that a big tree will attract the wind and cause other big countries to be wary of them.]

【Secondly, Lu and Wei had been friendly for generations, but now Lu appointed Wu Qi, who had defected from Wei, as its general.】

【It is possible that the friendly relations between the two countries that have lasted for generations will be affected.】

【Then the king of Lu really listened to the advice and dismissed Wu Qi. 】

【At that time, the world was in turmoil, and all forces were recruiting talented people. 】

【After some consideration, Wu Qi, who had gained some fame, defected to Wei Wenhou of the State of Wei.】

【Wei Wenhou also came from the Confucian school.】

[In order to meet him, Wu Qi even dressed up as a Confucian scholar to narrow the distance between himself and Wei Wenhou.]

[Wei Wenhou had the ambition to dominate, but he was too embarrassed to say that he just wanted to fight everywhere.]

【So the main topic of discussion with Wu Qi was about the Confucian doctrine of governing the country. 】

[But soon, Wu Qi shifted the main topic of his work to war.]

[He also told Wei Wenhou, who was acting so arrogantly, to stop pretending.]

[The entire Wei State is now forging weapons and making armor every day. If they are not used for fighting, then are they used for hunting? ]

[If you, my king, intend to dominate the world, please use me! ]

【Wei Wenhou also consulted Li Kui specifically. 】

【Li Kui's reply was: Wu Qi is greedy and lustful, but even Sima Rangju cannot match his military ability.】

[Sima Rangju himself is a figure at the level of the Ten Sages of the Temple of Martial Arts. ]

【And Wu Qi is even more awesome than Sima Rangju! 】

【Then Wei Wenhou appointed Wu Qi as the general.】

[Wu Qi was also decisive and led his army across the Yellow River to occupy a large area of ​​Qin territory that was originally in Shaanxi.]

【The old Qin people are about to be driven out of Shaanxi. 】

[During the war, Wu Qi ate and dressed the same as the other soldiers. He did not sleep on a bed or ride in a car, and he even carried his own food on his back.]

【We share the joys and sorrows completely. 】

【Wu Qi also participated in the war to conquer Zhongshan State. 】

[During this period, a soldier developed a sore, and Wu Qi knelt down and sucked out the pus from the soldier with his mouth.]

【So the soldiers were willing to fight to the death for Wu Qi. 】

【Wu Qi was then appointed as the governor of Xihe.】

【In theory, all the territory of Wei State west of the Yellow River was under the control of Wu Qi.】

[How big your territory is depends entirely on your own strength. 】

[It looks like the pioneer lord that is very popular in online novels nowadays. 】

[It was also during this period that Wu Qi carefully governed Hexi and made the area under his jurisdiction flourish. ]

[He also created the first professional army in Chinese history, the Wei Wuzu! ]

【With this powerful Wei Wuzu army. 】

【Wu Qi "fought seventy-six battles with the princes, won sixty-four of them, and the rest were evenly matched." He then expanded his territory by a thousand miles.】

[In the most classic battle, Yin Jinzhi defeated Qin's 50 troops with only troops! ]

[Although it was impossible for the Qin State at that time to recruit 50 people. ]

[But one thing is certain, that is, Wu Qi did cripple the Qin State during his time in Xihe.]

[This is also the origin of the Wei Wuzu, the first professional army in history.]

……

Outside the sky.

Great Qin.

Ying Zheng looked at the picture on the sky.

See Wu Qi training the army and rectifying politics.

Especially when he saw Wu Qi leading his army and killing the Qin army indiscriminately.

Ying Zheng was also deeply moved.

"The strength of our Great Qin at that time was indeed not good enough."

"And Wei was full of talented people at that time."

"Fortunately, the talents of Wei were squeezed out later."

"Even Shang Yang defected from the State of Wei to our Great Qin."

"In addition, I still remember many talents such as Fan Ju, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, and Yue Yi, who were all missed by the State of Wei."

"Haha, it really gave Wei Guo a chance, but Wei Guo is useless!"

"Fortunately, the State of Wei pushed Wu Qi away. Otherwise, Wu Qi would have led the State of Wei for another 20 years."

"He even made Wu Qi the prime minister of Wei."

"Wu Qi was a general and a prime minister. He was capable of both fighting wars and governing a country. It was entirely possible that he could further strengthen the power of the State of Wei."

"Then my Great Qin is in real danger."
