Chapter 194 Expedition
The defeat of Zhang Han not only surprised the world, but also the people of Yingchuan County were extremely happy. They believed that Yang Lin could lead them to a happy life. Therefore, in the new round of recruitment of soldiers, all the young men in the county were
They all signed up to join the army enthusiastically, which made Han Xin, who was in charge of recruitment, both happy and helpless.
According to the current rations for Pei's army, he has recruited nearly 10,000 soldiers in total, and the remaining young and middle-aged men have no choice but to let them disperse. However, fortunately with this recruitment, he believes that after next spring's harvest, Pei's army will be
The size of the army will be greatly expanded.
Without Zhang Han's pressure, Yang Lin also understood that the rise of Pei Jun was unstoppable. Recently, he had been patrolling around the county and pointed out any mistakes. Moreover, he also
He specially drew detailed drawings of the horseshoes, stirrups and saddles, and then handed them over to Zhao Meng, who had the workers try to produce them.
These things can be said to have changed the battle situation for thousands of years in later generations. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the cavalry only served as scouts. Because without the assistance of the three-piece suit, it was difficult for the cavalry to exert sufficient lethality on horseback. But as long as it has
These three magical weapons of the cavalry, which were originally weak cavalry, will definitely become a powerful killing weapon that makes Xiang Yu, Zhang Han and others fearful.
Yang Lin also had a vague expectation in his heart. He is not a weak-hearted person. I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will repay him tenfold.
During this period, Wei Bao's envoy finally arrived with the intention of King Wei's alliance. After hearing the envoy's words, Yang Lin was overjoyed. Although Wei Bao was not capable, he was a rare helper at this time. Immediately,
Yang Lin asked the envoy to return with peace of mind and agreed to the alliance.
A few days after Wei Bao's envoy left, Song Yi, the envoy of King Chu, also rushed over and informed King Chu of the recruitment of Yang Lin. However, what made Song Yi angry was that Yang Lin actually said
Song Yi was puzzled by his refusal to recruit King Chu. In his opinion, even if Yang Lin defeated Zhang Han, it was largely due to luck.
After sending away the angry Song Yi, Yang Lin knew that this time there was no possibility of any reconciliation between him and Chu and Xiang Liang. Of course, he did not need such reconciliation.
In the second year of Qin II, that is, 211 BC, the spring harvest finally arrived after anxious waiting. In order to ensure the success of the spring harvest, Yang Lin had ordered Zhang Liang and Xiao He to assist various cities in the county. With the help of the two men, Yang Lin
, the entire spring harvest is in good order. Moreover, the land policy implemented by Yang Lin has stimulated the enthusiasm of the people in Yingchuan County to open up wasteland, so this year can be said to be a bumper harvest, and almost every household has nearly 50% more food than in previous years.
With the guarantee of food, the recruitment of Pei soldiers after the spring harvest has obviously expanded a lot compared to the previous year. And from last year to now, Yang Lin has also secretly purchased more than 500 war horses in a low-key manner. Zhao Meng's workers have also
Living up to expectations, enough cavalry three-piece suits were built according to the drawings given by Yang Lin.
Han Xin personally put on a three-piece suit for his war horse. After practicing it on the horse, he couldn't close his mouth with laughter. At the same time, he also selected 500 strong men with martial arts skills from Pei's army.
Superb soldiers, let them practice day and night and become familiar with the changes brought about by horseshoes and so on.
Han Xin thought hard day and night about new formations and combat situations, because he understood that the cavalry would change the way the Qin Dynasty fought. As long as these five hundred real cavalry were allowed to take to the battlefield, it would definitely shock and tremble the world.
In Yangzhai City, in the governor's mansion, Yang Lin looked at the soldiers and said calmly. "Han Xin, don't neglect the cavalry matter. We still need to continue to strengthen training. In addition, we must not reveal the secrets."
"Please rest assured, my lord, Xin knows how to do it." Han Xin nodded and said.
"Now that our army has regrouped and recuperated, it has finally been greatly expanded." Yang Lin was very satisfied with the current Pei Army. He said in a deep voice: "Our army has a total of more than 50,000 soldiers of various types. I believe it is enough.
Let’s fight Xiang Yu, Wang Li and others.”
Xiao He took a step forward, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "What do you mean, lord?"
"I have made up my mind to send troops to Sanchuan County, and then capture Shang County and unify the old Han Dynasty." Yang Lin said with a very confident look in his eyes.
"Sanchuan County is like a mere fiction. Since the last time Zhang Han secretly sent troops to Yingchuan, he was summoned to Xianyang and deprived of his military power because of Zhao Gao's suspicion. At this time, the governor of Sanchuan County was Zhao Gao's son-in-law Yan Le. This person
He is greedy for life and afraid of death. He only knows how to exploit the people and has nothing to fear." Zhang Liangkan analyzed.
"In this way, three days later, Xiao He will send troops to Sanchuan County. The troops and horses will go ahead without using food and grass. You must know the importance of food and grass better than me, so I will leave this matter to you." Yang Lin suddenly stood up and ordered loudly and firmly,
Then, escorted by the guards, he returned to the backyard.
Three days is not a long time. Xiao He is worthy of being a famous prime minister in the early Han Dynasty. As long as Yang Lin orders it, he will complete it with all his heart. He will send troops to Sanchuan County, and then capture Shang County and regain the old Han. Yang Lin's goal is very clear, but food and grass
This should have been a big problem, but under Xiao He's arrangement, it was easily solved.
Three days later, Yang Lin stood in front of the general stage, looking at the 50,000 soldiers and soldiers in the audience. He was also filled with emotions. Who would have thought that he was just a small pavilion chief today.
Such an achievement? After calming down, he said loudly: "Han Xin comes out."
"No!" Han Xin stepped forward majestically.
"I have given you the tiger talisman and appointed you as the general." Yang Lin said in a deep voice, making him a general, "Li Ba, Cao Shen, Li Ran, Xiahou Ying appointed you as the front, rear, left and right generals, each with ten thousand troops."
"Nuo!" The four of them stepped forward, stood behind Han Xin, and obeyed the enfeoffment.
Later, Yong Chi, Zhou Bo and others also received corresponding rewards. Finally, Yang Lin raised his sword and shouted: "Send troops!"
Han Xin and others received the order and immediately mounted their horses. With horseshoes, stirrups and saddles, they were full of confidence. Yang Lin left 5,000 men and handed them over to Wangshan to be responsible for the safety of Yingchuan County. He also said goodbye to Lu Pheasant and others.
Set out together under the protection of personal guards.
Pei's soldiers were full of energy and marched very fast. Within seven days, they arrived at Sanchuan County. Yan Le was furious after getting the news and immediately organized the Qin army to defend. However, Pei's army had rested for so long.
The reason for the current expedition, and the 50,000 Pei troops could not be resisted by just a few thousand Qin troops. Therefore, the entire Sanchuan County was overwhelming and was defeated and recovered one by one by the Pei troops led by Yang Lin. Yan Lejian
