Wang Qian quickly finished a rice ball, still feeling unsatisfied as he grabbed another one. While eating, he sighed, "Only when we return home can we taste this year's New Grain. Ah! It has the flavor of home!"
Luzi blinked and asked, "Are you, brother, in the midst of the Zhao Army's encirclement, starting to think about your wife?"
Wang Qian was about to deny it but suddenly recalled his wife's family background. He cleared his throat and explained, "No! I was thinking about...!" He intended to say he missed his parents but realized that wasn't right! He quickly corrected himself and said, "Well! I do miss my wife!"
Due to Luzi's background, the brothers had privately established an unwritten rule: never mention parents in front of Luzi. Li Xin had clearly violated this rule earlier, but given his tendency to speak without a filter, it could be temporarily forgiven.
Who is Luzi? He certainly understood that this was the brothers' affection for him, stemming from their concern that mentioning elders would evoke feelings of longing. Luzi had previously been open about this matter and often intentionally brought it up to encourage the brothers to visit their parents. However, habits can change over time; eventually, those who didn't respond began to unintentionally avoid the topic.
Wang Qian looked around the room to ensure there was no one else present. After pondering for a while, he finally said, "Junior Brother, the so-called legendary family matter isn't that I don't want to tell you; it's just that I can't. However... perhaps I can add some fuel to your Special Forces Unit plan!"
Upon hearing Wang Qian actively return to the main topic, Luzi couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. He hadn't mentioned the responsibilities of the new troop type to anyone before, yet Wang Qian seemed to know something! Moreover, he appeared quite familiar with it! Could it be that Wang Qian is an expert in this area? But before having that thought, he had never heard of a Special Forces Unit!
Doubts aside, Luzi firmly believed one thing: at some point in the future, this new troop type would definitely emerge. Not only was it needed by the country, but it was also essential for adapting to the needs of warfare!
Large-scale conventional operations lead to devastation and scorched earth. Even if the victorious nation captures this land, it would require significant effort for recovery and revitalization, with no immediate results in sight.
If warfare could be transformed into smaller-scale battles, the impact on land and population would be much less severe. From a long-term perspective, precise strikes on a small scale are imperative!
Since their thoughts aligned perfectly, Luzi suddenly became excited. This is what they call heroes sharing similar views! "I actually want to form such an army to safeguard our troops during Unified War!"
Wang Qian listened quietly and surprisingly showed no signs of astonishment. After contemplating for a long time, he finally said, "There's something I've been holding inside that's almost rotting away! I've been worried that this plan might come to nothing, which is why I haven't dared to tell anyone."
Luzi did not ask any questions, merely nodding silently. It seemed that Wang Jian had long planned to establish this new type of troop, and the reason he had not dared to bring it up was actually the same as the concerns Luzi had.
The biggest challenge they faced was King Qin's understanding of the Qin army!
Luzi was now in control of the largest secret organization in Qin State, and if he intervened in military affairs, it would be impossible to avoid suspicion. This plan was akin to a taboo; if mishandled, it could lead to disaster.
The two pioneers of the Special Forces Unit were clearly considering the same issue, and after a long silence, neither knew how to broach the subject. It would have been great if Zhao Xiang Wang were present; without outsiders around, they could consult the old man about whether he would agree to implement this historically significant military plan. If the old man shouted a few words in anger, they could simply forget about it and go on with their lives without mentioning it again.
Li Xin would take at least an hour or more to return, assuming everything went smoothly. If he encountered some social obligations along the way, it could take even two hours. Wang Jian glanced outside and finally decided to tell a story during this time.
In ancient legends, people in China lived together in tribal forms, which later became known as clan branches. After many years, a common leader emerged, who became the chief of what is now known as the Youxiong Tribe. He was later revered as the foremost of the Five Emperors, the Yellow Emperor.
The Wang Family residing in Qin State is said to be descendants of the Bear Tribe, which can also be understood as descendants of the Yellow Emperor's family. The reason Wang Jian was ultimately accepted by that legendary family and not eliminated was based on this lineage. As for why the descendants of the Yellow Emperor changed their surname to Wang, there is no documentation or proof available. If this is merely a legend, then through this matter, Wang Jian has already validated that his earliest family belonged to the Youxiong Tribe!
At that time, tribes fought fiercely over land and resources, with brutal killings among them. After all, they were fighting for survival; only the victorious side had the right to continue living. This aligns with nature's law of survival of the fittest—though it sounds cruel, it is a fact.
Later, under the leadership of the young Yellow Emperor, the Youxiong Tribe rapidly rose to power and brought the equally formidable Lishan Clan into submission. With help from Lishan's leader, Flame Emperor, they annihilated the Chiyou Tribe at the Battle of Zhuolu, laying a solid foundation for unifying various tribes in Central China. After that battle, people who had enjoyed peace and recuperation worked together creatively under Yao, Shun, Yu, and Tang's leadership, ushering China into a brand new era.
Luzi quietly listened to Wang Jian's narration and nodded subtly. Although he had also researched this area before, he did not have as detailed an understanding as what Wang Jian just shared.
The tribal wars described seemed understated but were actually prolonged and extremely brutal. Sigh! One can imagine that during those times, rivers must have been stained red with blood! When Wang Jian reached this point in his story, he paused and stopped speaking. Taking a deep breath, he slowly finished eating his rice ball.
Luzi did not speak up but watched Wang Jian eat. He knew that what had been said so far was merely an introduction; the key points lay ahead! This was also why Wang Jian had been hesitating—because of a promise made long ago.
Wang Jian indeed waited for quite a while before continuing to speak, but it was not due to hesitation; he was seriously contemplating. He needed to organize the information in his mind and thoroughly eliminate anything that should not be said. This is the nature of secrets—understood but not spoken.
In contrast, the Chiyou Tribe was more skilled in weapon production. Their bronze weapons were well-crafted, and their warriors were brave and adept in battle. Despite the large-scale invasion of the Lianshan Clan's territory, the Flame Emperor led his people to fight back but still could not withstand the onslaught of the Chiyou forces. As their territory was gradually encroached upon, they had no choice but to submit to the Youxiong Clan, with whom they had a pact. The additional condition was to help reclaim their land and defeat the Chiyou Tribe!
The Yellow Emperor honored the pact and agreed to their request. Thus, he led an army adorned with totems of bears, tigers, wolves, leopards, eagles, and hawks to the front lines to engage in a decisive battle against the Chiyou's Seventy-Two Clans. The outcome was predictable; the Youxiong Clan, also lacking in weaponry, suffered defeat after defeat.
