In Xiacheng, Confucian Academy, and the back mountain, several Confucian scholars were respectfully accompanied Zhang Hua, and the only ones who were qualified to walk side by side with Zhang Hua were Zixia and Wu Qi.

Confucianism emphasizes academic research and becomes an official. If Zixia's disciples want to become officials in the Daxia power, they must please Zhang Hua.

This is a good opportunity to approach the king.

After ten years of hard work, no one asked me about it, and once I became famous, I knew the world.

If you are appreciated by Zhang Hua, you can reach the sky in one step.

"Sir, now that the enemy is in danger, we are in danger, what should we do?"

Zhang Hua pretended not to understand and asked Zixia, one of the "Ten Philosophers of Confucius", for advice.

"When the enemy's troops are at the city, the king should prepare for the troops, select talents, repair the troops and armor, and consolidate the city defense. If the enemy's country is strong, he will focus on defense, implement benevolent policies, gain the hearts of the people, accumulate food and grass, wait for the enemy's country to decline, and then he can attack and defend and change the situation."

"If the enemy country's national strength remains equal, try to deal with it. If the enemy country is weak, send troops to fight."

Zixia answered truthfully, showing a puzzled expression.

Based on Zixia's understanding of Zhang Hua, Zhang Hua has experienced many battles and fought against various heroes, so he would not ask such a simple question.

Zhang Hua is more aware of this kind of problem than Zixia, who has never led a soldier and fought a war?

Zhang Hua sighed again: "Mr. He said he wanted to select talents, but unfortunately, no one can share my worries in such a huge territory."

Zixia already understood what Zhang Hua meant at this time.

Under Zhang Hua's command, civil and military ministers are full of talents, how could it be that there are no talented people?

Zhang Hua said this on purpose, most of the time it was to trick Wu Qi, who lived in seclusion in Zixia's Confucian Academy, to come out of the mountain.

As a teacher, Zixia naturally knew how powerful Wu Qi was.

Zixia looked at Wu Qi secretly, and Wu Qi also gave Zixia a look.

"Cough cough cough..." Zixia cleared his throat, "The king now has thousands of good generals and millions of armor, which is enough to defeat most powerful enemies. How could there be such a saying that no one can share the worries of the king?"

Seeing that Zixia was not on the trap, Zhang Hua continued to hang out with Zixia: "This time, the strong enemy has great luck. He is not a peerless general and talented person, so he cannot compete with him. What I am patrolling is the peerless general and talented person."

Zixia had already guessed what Zhang Hua pointed to: "Is the king referring to Liu Xiu?"

“That’s right.”

"This person once fought against the eighteen princes with his own strength and was able to succeed, and he was indeed blessed with luck."

Zixia gave a high evaluation of Liu Xiu, who had never met.

Liu Xiu's luck is one of the best, and it is difficult for ordinary generals to cope with.

"Now there is a Bole in the world, but no horses in a thousand miles. I am willing to be granted the title of marquis and beg for horse bones."

Zhang Hua said while observing Wu Qi's expression changes.

Zhang Hua's conditions were already very obvious. With five hundred gold coins and the title of marquis, Wu Qi was invited to come out.

With Wu Qi's intelligence, it is impossible to detect Zhang Hua's implication.

Become a marquis...

This condition is enough to make Wu Qirong, who is pursuing fame and fortune.

Being a marquis and a prime minister is the pursuit of all military generals.

Even loyal ministers who have no ambitions hope to be famous in history and hide their descendants.

Zhang Hua believed that a talent like Wu Qi would definitely not be willing to live in seclusion in the market like Zixia.

Zixia felt Wu Qi's breathing change and knew that Wu Qi's plan to "help charcoal in time" had succeeded.

Zhang Hua was indeed not sure of defeating Liu Xiu, so he came to invite Wu Qi to come out of the mountain and lead troops to attack Liu Xiu.

The military saints will definitely be a battle against the sons of the superior plane.

Zixia understood it and finally said, "I have a disciple here who is very talented. When it comes to the ability to lead troops, he will never defeat him in his life."

Undefeated in life is already a very high evaluation.

Perhaps Wu Qi cannot guarantee victory, but he can make himself invincible.

Zhang Huaming asked knowingly: "Where is the general and talent mentioned by the sir?"

Zixia finally introduced Wu Qi: "It's far away in the sky and close in front of me. What I'm talking about is Wu Qi, a native of Wei."

Wu Qi bowed solemnly: "Wu Qi, a native of Wei, has seen the king."

"All under the world is the king's land, and the shores of the earth are the king's land. Anyone who truly integrates into China does not have to worry about Wei, Song, Qin, and Chu."

Zhang Hua's words made Wu Qi feel awe-inspiring.

Zhang Hua's vision is even higher.

"I have heard of your reputation for a long time. This time the strong enemy is coming, please follow me to lead my troops north and defeat Liu Xiu."

Zhang Hua knew that Wu Qi was satisfied with the conditions he had proposed and was willing to come out.

Before this, Wu Qi had already made military achievements when defending Xia City. Zhang Hua could directly grant Wu Qi official position, giving Wu Qi the power to lead troops.

"Let's go." Wu Qi didn't agree so easily, "The king thought, how can he use troops to be invincible?"

Zhang Hua pondered for a while and replied to Wu Qi: "Zi Xia has already stated clearly just now that we must govern the country before we can be invincible."

Wu Qi nodded with satisfaction.

If you are an ordinary person, answering Wu Qi's questions may focus on using troops themselves.

But Wu Qi, who has been undefeated in his life, has focused more on the military path itself and has paid more attention to conditions outside the military path.

"The country is strong, with soldiers, armor, war horses, and sufficient food and supplies. The monarch pays attention to military affairs, selects good generals, and obtains the right time, place, and people, and can be invincible."

Wu Qi expressed his theory of undefeated military use.

In the era of Wu Qi, the State of Wei was the number one overlord of the Warring States Period. Wei Wenhou valued Li Ku, Wu Qi, Le Yang, Ximen Bao, Zixia, Zhai Huang, Wei Cheng and others to enrich the country and strengthen the army, suppress Zhao, destroy Zhongshan, defeated Qin, Qi, and Chu, and explored a large area of ​​territory.

Based on the reform of Li Ku, Wu Qi created the Wei Wuzhang system and trained troops in Xihe. With his strong national strength, the elite Wuzhang always remained invincible.

Zhang Hua thought carefully that Bai Qi was also based on the strong national strength of Qin, and was invincible in the battle.

National strength is the foundation.

If Wu Qi and Bai Qi were allowed to face high-level cavalry with a group of rural brave men on the plains, perhaps Wu Qi and Bai Qi's record would be better, but they would basically lose, which is a crushing national strength.

The Chu-Han war was at the beginning when Xiang Yu had the advantage. After Liu Bang built a plank road openly and secretly visited Chen Cang, and obtained Guanzhong, the two sides began to enter a stalemate. Then Han Xin led his troops alone to attack Zhao, Qi and other places for development. The national strength of both sides reversed, and Xiang Yu inevitably went to defeat.

Zhang Hua's view on using troops was consistent with Wu Qi, and even made Wu Qi firmly believe that he had met a wise leader.

Although Wu Qi was in charge of several princes, he was all because of suspicion and hatred. It was not that Wu Qi's own loyalty was problematic.

In Wu Qi's view, loyalty and foolish loyalty are two different things.

As long as the king trusts and has room to play, Wu Qi can serve.

"I can come out and serve the king, but I will ask the king to agree to me."

Wu Qi put forward the last condition.

"If it is within my ability, I will naturally agree to you."

"I, Wu Qi, just want to find a country and display my talents. Although I can be a general and a prime minister, I have been hated by many people because of this. Please ask the king not to doubt my intention in the future."

Wu Qi was serious about the matter.

Wu Qi was repeatedly suspected by the monarch and nobles, and he was already psychologically shady, so he greeted Zhang Hua in advance.

In itself, generals who are in charge of military power and use extremely strong military forces are most likely to be targeted by the king, Bai Qi, Han Xin, and Yue Fei.

Secondly, Wu Qi will preside over the internal affairs and try to reform and strengthen the country, which will easily touch the interests of the nobles, aristocratic families and other groups, and will naturally easily offend these people.

"If you don't have to doubt people, don't doubt people. Since I ask you to come out of the mountain, I will definitely not doubt you."

No matter what Zhang Hua felt in his heart, the most urgent task was to ask Wu Qi, known as the "Sub-Sage of Military Arts", to come out to deal with Liu Xiu.

Who can tell what will happen in the future clearly?

"Then, teacher, say goodbye."

Wu Qi finally got his wish and bowed to Zixia.

"Be careful when you travel."

Zixia can only help Wu Qi here.

Zhang Hua tried every means to trick Wu Qi into coming out.

Wu Qi also tried his best to gain a higher status in Zhang Hua and become a general who guarded the country.

Therefore, Wu Qicai asked Zixia as the recommender.

After all, Zixia is the Ten-Sage of Confucius and has a high status. Zhang Hua wants to give Zixia some face.

In fact, in Zhang Hua's mind, Wu Qi's status is higher than Zixia, and as long as Wu Qi's conditions are not excessive, Zhang Hua will agree.

Wu Qi was a bit extravagant in this way.

Of course, Wu Qi didn't know the relationship.
