Zhou Wang has 600,000 troops, but it only sends a few hundred people at a time. There are three main reasons-it wants to preserve its strength, so it doesn't have so many actual troops. It's too exaggerated. The soldiers are stronger than Ma Zhuang!

make a false show of strength

For Zhou Wang, in the Shang Dynasty at that time, the national strength was actually very tired, the economy was deployed, the people were displaced, and the people were in poverty. However, fooled by da ji and other traitors, Zhou Wang claimed that the Shang Dynasty had 600,000 troops. In fact, this is just Shang Zhouwang's bluff, the purpose is to make the rebels afraid and make them retreat without fighting, or rather, he actually went too far when playing. At least judging from the situation at that time, the Shang Dynasty did not have such strong military and economic strength. Is a spent force. ...

There are not so many troops.

In fact, if the so-called 600,000 troops are analyzed normally, 400,000 of them may be prisoners or slaves. In other words, during the dark reign of Shang Dynasty, you will certainly have many prisoners or efforts. In other words, some efforts and services still exist in the end, so it is very likely that a large number of prisoners and slaves will be won in a very urgent situation, so the so-called 600,000 army has an effective regular army of 200,000. So there aren't that many troops at all!

blow one's own trumpet/horn

Zhou Wang is also a typical slogan boasting about his strong fighting capacity, which makes China feel pressure and China feel fear. Obviously, the army of the Shang Dynasty had no fighting capacity, or it was so stupid and corrupt that it could not have such a strong fighting capacity, especially without the support of immortals and magic.
