There was such a line in Mulan's poem: " Last night, I saw the military invitation. The Khan ordered a large number of soldiers. There are twelve volumes of military books. Each volume has my name..."
To be more precise, this era wasn't about conscription, but summoning soldiers. The lords would summon the large clans under their rule, and the children of the large clans would prepare their own weapons and armor before going out to battle.
The illustrious nobles had chariots.
With Mi Chun's order, the summons were sent to the great clans under her rule.
Of course, when a lord summoned troops, the prestige could not compare to a king. A king summoned troops from all over the country, while a lord could only summon troops under his rule.
In this era, lords had the right to do so.
Back then, Shang Yang had also gathered troops in his own fief and planned to rebel. This meant that even Shang Yang's "Fa" faction did not take away this right.
It wasn't until the enfeoffment was canceled and Han Fei's "Magic Force" was combined into one that he lost this right.
Danyang was close to Korea, but it was not an important military location because Korea was too weak.
Although Mi Chun was a member of the royal family, she was not a prominent figure…At least, there was not even a war chariot in the entire Elixir Yang Land.
They had gathered 3,000 armored soldiers.
With these 3,000 people, both Mi Chun and Zhuo Li felt that it was more than enough to wipe out a stronghold built by more than 1,000 Vietnamese refugees.
Or rather, these 3,000 people weren't actually here for the Bai Yue refugees, but to intimidate Gao Jing.
Thus, Mi Chun and Zhuo Li led the 3,000 men and set off.
……
At this moment, Gao Jing, who had received the news, also called Mountain Rope, Bamboo, and the others over.
Startling Salamander brought Xiaoyan over.
Yan Lingji was no exception. These days, she felt like she was the owner of this place…It was difficult for others to understand the peace of mind of a person who had lost a country and could be with his compatriots.
Therefore, Yan Lingji's face was very cold. She played with a ball of flame in her hand and said,"Since the lord here won't let us live, then we'll kill him.”
"And then?" Gao Jing asked,"What if the Chu Country officially sends out an army to encircle and suppress them?" Can anyone survive here?"
Yan Lingji was speechless. She put out the flame with her fair fingers and said angrily,""Then what do you think we should do?"
"Keep this matter under control, so the lord can't be killed. Otherwise, it'll be a rebellion.”
Gao Jing first made up his mind, then looked at the mountain rope and bamboo knot and said,""Also, I can't show myself, and even Yan Lingji can't do anything.”
Shan Sheng and Zhu Zi were anxious. Just as they were about to speak, Yan Lingji beat them to it and said,""Why can't I do anything? I'm also from the Yue."
Gao Jing was neither hurried nor slow, his voice was still very serious as he said,"My identity represents the scholarly faction to a certain extent, so I can't get involved…at least not on the surface.
As for you…the purpose of this stop is to let Mi Chun realize that the fort is not to be trifled with. Compared to attacking, it is better for both sides to cooperate. This is to gain an official position for the fort!
Although you are a wall, you can only represent yourself. Only the strength of the guards can represent the strength of the fort.”
Yan Lingji didn't know if she understood him, but she didn't refute him. She just said anxiously,""They have 3,000 people, and we only have 800. I can't make a move, and if you don't make a move, how can we win?”
"That's right, sir. Without you, there would be no fort…" Mountain Rope said nervously.
Only Bamboo Thrust slapped his chest and said,""Sir, don't worry. Even if all the guards die, they won't let the Lord off easily!”
Gao Jing nodded at Bamboo with satisfaction and said,""As long as you dare to fight, anything is possible! If one day, the guards who were supposed to protect their homeland did not even have the courage to fight, then the fort could only kneel and pray for life.”
Mountain Rope's expression changed slightly, and his originally nervous heart also calmed down. He said,""If that's the case, then we can't fight to the death. Anyway, these 1,000 lives were saved by Sir. Those who survive are considered to have earned!”
"Don't worry, I only said that I won't interfere in the battle. I can still give you some advice.”
Gao Jing smiled and said to Bamboo," You have two ways to deal with it. One is to rely on the fort as a stronghold to defend." The other was to leave the fort and face the enemy head-on.”
" It should be the first one," Bamboo said after some thought." But since you've suggested the second one, could there be some secret behind it?"”
"War always serves politics," Gao Jing praised."In other words, war is a means to achieve an end!
The first method was to defend the stronghold. Although it was safe, in Mi Chun's eyes, she could only assume that the fortress's defenses were strong.
The second method was the only way to truly display the defensive power of the fort. It would let Mi Chun know that even without the fort, the people here could not be underestimated!
After all, the fort was under Mi Chun's rule and belonged to her. The fort was not useful to Mi Chun, but the people in the fort were very useful to him…
Do you know why scholarly disciples carry swords?”
Just as they were talking about the war, Gao Jing suddenly asked an irrelevant question, which immediately made everyone confused.
The few of them looked at each other. Yamashina and Bamboo nodded their heads honestly, indicating that they didn't know.
"For self-defense?" Yan Lingji tried.”
"Is it a form of etiquette?"”
"Haha!"
" The Confucians talk about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith. Not everyone is willing to listen…But when a scholarly disciple picks up a sword, they have no choice but to listen!" Gao Jing said with a smile.”
The Startling Salamander's gaze was strange.
Yan Lingji blinked.”
Only Bamboo Knot and Mountain Rope regarded Gao Jing's words as the truth and nodded solemnly in agreement.
"Mister is right!" Bamboo added.”
"I just want to tell you a principle. When you hold a sword, your words will carry weight!" Gao Jing said with a smile.”
"That's why we're going to show our swords to the lord!"”
