Chapter 255
At noon on August 18, 2018, the 23rd year of King Zheng of Qin, the autumn was clear and the sun was shining. After eating at the military camp gate in the south suburbs of Anlu County, Heifu asked someone to hammer a wooden pole here.
This is one of the ancient timing methods. When erecting wooden stakes in the sun, observe their shadows to measure the time, but only the time can be inferred. For more detailed engraving, the "leak" must be used to measure it, so the hole pot is used as leaks, the floating arrow is used as carvings, and the leakage is lowered for several ticks.
It is said that in the late Spring and Autumn Period, Qi State was invaded by Jin Yan. Duke Jing of Qi promoted Sima Rangju to general and his favorite minister Zhuang Jia was the military supervisor. Sima Rangju made an appointment with Jia at the military gate. Rangju arrived first and set up a gesture to be missed and waited. Jia was arrogant and missed the time, Rangju then killed Jia and showed the public. The three armies were frightened and excited, so he stopped the army of Jin Yan, and Sima Rangju also became a famous general.
Heifu started this allusion by Li You. Today, he wrote Zhou Zhang here to imitate this matter.
For this reason, Heifu asked someone to sit on a couch, and he sat in front of the camp gate and waited in person.
While waiting, he was thinking about things.
In addition to the points that he said with his younger brother last night, there is another reason why the black husband released the soldiers and asked them to reunited today.
He wants to get the soldiers to be in charge!
When marching and fighting, it depends on the soldiers' lives. If you want to get the soldiers' lives, it depends on one hand reward and the other hand punishment. This is what Wei Liaozi said: "Prevention depends on establishing authority, establishing authority depends on working hard, and working hard cares about the right punishment. The right punishment is the reward."
In terms of rewards, in addition to the rewards stipulated by military law, there must also be favors for the generals.
"Watch your soldiers like babies, so you can go to the deep stream with them; if you treat your soldiers like your beloved son, so you can die with them."
But the trouble is that the Qin army directly stipulated the food and clothing of each title level to be tightly defined, and the soldiers were the lowest, and they had no seats, no riding, and they wrapped and won the food and worked hard with the soldiers. This kind of thing was okay to do once a while, but it would be criticized by military officials. He could not do anything like sucking cervicals, and it would seem too deliberate...
So he simply used the method of letting soldiers go home to harvest autumn to show his gratitude, making the soldiers feel that the Heifu County Captain was really his own village party and would really consider them.
By copying the military strategy, relying solely on the hard regulations of Qin law, it is impossible to fully integrate an army. We must also make full use of the natural advantages of the village party, so that Anlu leads the internal villages, and is in harmony with each other, and is united.
But if someone is worried, he really has lost his trust and never returns, or is late...
Heifu glanced at the close guards beside him. Today they were all wearing armor and standing solemnly with swords. The military and legal officials were also on the side, and even the documents and bamboo slips were ready. If someone really committed suicide, he would have to learn from Sima Rangju and kill people to establish his authority!
As the shadow of the wooden stake gradually becomes a dot, it slowly shifts and extends. Every hour, the water in the slit pot drips and fills again, and everyone can feel the change of time.
The Heifu discussed with everyone that it was a "Minding Day" gathering, which was from 17:00 to 19:00 pm, before dark, but from noon, people came to the military camp to report.
The first person to arrive was the people living in the county town. Everyone could not see the worries of the expedition on their faces. They walked over with a smile and said and saw the Heifu County Captain waiting outside the gate, and quickly bowed to him.
Heifu nodded: "The second and third sons arrived early, so they went to the camp to rest first."
Then everyone from Beijiao Township and Jianshui Township gathered at the Pavilion before coming together. Although they went home for a few days to rest, they did not lose the training for the past month. After approaching the barracks, they began to line up in an orderly manner.
Heifu also saw his flag-raising military man, a loyal big man who handed his bag to his robes and brought them into the military camp. He ran to Heifu and took over the flag of the leader.
"Is it okay at home?"
Hev asked him kindly.
Mu nodded with the flag and said, "Everything is fine, the grain production has increased a lot, and the warehouse is sufficient!"
The last one to arrive was Yunmeng Township, the farthest from the county town. These soldiers took two days to arrive. They all carried a lot of luggage, filled with shoes and winter clothes, and were covered in dust. However, after coming to the camp to meet Heifu, they smiled and presented the food they brought at home. Although Heifu's family moved away, he was still the pride and role model of the people in Yunmeng Township. Therefore, hundreds of people in Yunmeng Township are closest to him.
When the sun sets, the benchmark sun shadow has become longer, and the light leaks again...
The day of pounding has passed!
No one came again on the way. Heifu let out a sigh of relief and gave way to Li Xian. The two five hundred lords of Dongmen Bao went to the camp and brought all the soldiers who arrived one after another to gather!
A moment later, under the last light of autumn, all the soldiers stood neatly in the open space, and each town began to call for a number of names.
"Report to the county magistrate, the five hundred people from Houqu were all here!" Soon, Li Xian, who had been the first to order fame, came to respond.
"The first song is five hundred people, and they have already arrived!" Dongmen Leopard was not willing to be outdone and shouted loudly.
In addition to the two songs before and after, the short-soldier guards, baggage, cavalry, and medical emergency personnel directly under the jurisdiction of Heifu have also ordered the number of people!
Seeing the soldiers' faces red by the setting sun, Heifu was a little moved, and his hand holding the hilt of the sword was released. He even planned to be several or even dozens of people late. Unexpectedly, more than 1,200 soldiers recruited in Anlu County, after seven days of returning home, many of them gathered here again! None of them were absent!
"Good! Great Good!"
Heifu could only praise him to hide his emotions.
"I told you to the truth that this time, the king's order may take place in the war for a long time, for half a year, or for a year. But the final result will be that the Qin army will definitely be determined, and the war will be won! Our lieutenant will do what he said, and rewards and punishments will be clear. Those who fight bravely will never lose their titles!"
Everyone proudly raised their chests. The miracle that Hefu County Captain created in the last war was widely circulated in the county. Of course, he had the confidence to say these words! This is also one of the reasons why the people in Anlu trust him. Who would not want to follow a general with great military achievements?
After cheering up the soldiers, Heifu waved his hand: "Dinner immediately, let the two and three sons eat their fill, practice again tomorrow, and set off the next day!"
Such a scene is really rare. The officials who watched the fun on the city wall after get off work were also very moved. The stone in the heart of the county magistrate Yong He fell to the ground. He touched his beard and smiled: "The county magistrate is really amazing. After only one month of training, he can be the general and the general. Such a military force can be called a sharp soldier!"
After nightfall, several of Heifu's trusted military officers Li Xian, Dongmen Bao, Xiao Tao, and Ji Ying also secretly discussed during the meal: "The last time they attacked Chu, the army was defeated, and the county magistrate could still lead us to make so much contribution in the defeated army. This time, with such a elite army in the village, why worry about not being able to make great contributions?"
"That's right!"
Li Xian glanced at everyone: "Do you still remember the great ambitions mentioned by the county magistrate that day?"
"Of course I remember!" Everyone nodded. Heifu's ambition to be a marquis suddenly woke them up from satisfying the status quo and actively participated in the training.
After a brief confusion, this small group now has a clear goal. When this goal is achieved, how can they lose the benefits?
Several people dissected the talisman in the camp as a vow: "Helping the county magistrate realize his ambition to be a marquis is also our wish!"
At this time, they didn't know how difficult it would be to realize this choice...
...
Two days later, under the leadership of Heifu, more than a thousand soldiers in Anlu County were sent from the county magistrate, county magistrate and the city's fathers to travel ten miles away, slowly heading north, and embarking on the journey...
Some people look back frequently and are reluctant to part with their hometown family.
Someone looked forward and looked forward to the glory of the honor that he was about to obtain.
The emperor is the flower, which is in that original elixir.
The squad (shēn) conquers the husband, and he always wants to...
In the Qin capital Xianyang, which is more than a thousand miles away, the scale of the conquest is two hundred times larger than that of the small county in Anlu!
The Bashanglong Plain, the Wei River surging, Guanzhong Neishi, the northern land, Shangjun, and Longxi counties, 100,000 soldiers and 100,000 civilians gathered here, flags covered the entire Bashui floating bridge, and the forest composed of spears seemed to be more withered autumn grass on the Wei River...
King Zheng of Qin personally led all officials and ministers to Bashang to see General Wang Jian off!
The Censor Wang Wan announced the edict on behalf of the King that this high-ranking official who was highly influenced by Confucianism quoted the classics and even praised Wang Jian: "Wei Shi Shang Father, Shi Wei Ying Yang!"
It was Li Xin who was defeated in the first attack on Chu. The seventh lieutenant died and lost his troops to humiliate the country. If he could not succeed this time, it would be a little difficult to deal with.
At this time, only Wang Jian could stand up and take charge of the battle. The 600,000 army was attacking Chu, and the King of Qin was almost alone in the country's military commission. It was not an exaggeration to compare Wang Jian with the Taigong of the Zhou Dynasty.
"How dare I compare with Master Shangfu? What kind of eagle yang? Chicken yang is still the same."
However, the old general Wang Jian, who should have been full of energy and promised to destroy Chu State for a long time, did not have the fierceness of his pre-emptive spirit at all. Instead, he was like an unsightly stingy old farmer, with vulgar words. He bowed to the King of Qin again and kept asking for beautiful fields, houses, and ponds for his own homes...
The officials accompanying all looked strange. The imperial physician Ling Xia Wujie, who was standing outside, even heard the king's helpless voice from the imperial guards' office.
"The general is running, why worry about poverty?"
Then, Xia Wuqi heard Wang Jian smile and said something extremely bold!
"As a king, even if he has made merit, it is difficult to get the reward of a marquis. Therefore, while the king particularly valued his old ministers, he could also ask the king to give the garden and pond to buy property for his descendants..."
What does this mean? Resentment?
Everyone present was shuddered. The war was about to go to war. What was the old general Wang Jian doing? They all looked at the carriage carried by the six horses.
The King of Qin talked with Wang Jian in front of the car. His body and back were blessed by a crown, nearly nine feet tall, and it seemed even more unattainable. He hung a long Tai Abao sword on his waist, holding the hilt in his hand, and stood silently at this moment.
The silent king was the most terrifying and fearful. Xia Wuqi was a little scared and lowered his head. Wang Wan, who stood beside the king and Wang Jian, had sweat dripping down...
However, after a moment of silence, the King of Qin still laughed loudly, as if he didn't think he was offended.
"General Wang is still so straightforward in his speech!"
After the laughter stopped, Xia Wuqi looked up and saw the King of Qin's back, helped Wang Jian up, held his hand, and said in a very sincere tone: "General, don't worry, if you can destroy Jing, you will be able to wait for the title of Marquis Che! "
