"Haha, I didn't expect that this concubine Zuo is really a selfless person. What he said made me admire him deeply."
After officially accepting the appointment, Yang Xiong was very happy to become the master of the 2500th.
He smiled at Zhao Tuo and Zhao Ben and said: "Two Lords Zhao, you are my subordinates in the palace. When you come to this military camp, you are still under my control. Do you have any objection?"
Zhao Ben's title was lowered by one level, and he was only a public official, so naturally he had nothing to say.
Although Zhao Tuo smiled on his face, he was actually disgusted in his heart.
This is Huan Zhao.
He is truly not a son of man!
Originally, it was normal for Zhao Tuo to enter the military camp and become the leader of five hundred people.
Even the dignified Zuo Shu Chief condescended to be demoted and became a military prince, and the two five-level officials became two- to five-hundred-year-old masters like the public servants.
He, Zhao Tuo, was young and inexperienced, and his title was the same as that of other public servants. Furthermore, compared to Yang Xiong, Zhao Tuo had no other advantages except that he had participated in the battle to conquer Yan.
It doesn't matter if you take a step back from normal competition and become a master of five hundred.
But who would have thought that Huan Zhao was so disgusting. On the surface, he praised Zhao Tuo a lot, but in fact, he stepped on Zhao Tuo to show his impartiality and selflessness.
Moreover, he compared Zhao Tuo to "Ma Fuzi" in his words, and finally said that whoever dares to break the law will be treated regardless of family or personal relationships. These words contain threats.
Not everyone in the military tent is a fool like Yang Xiong.
Many people understood the meaning of Huan Zhao's words and looked at Zhao Tuo with eyes filled with amusement.
In the military, it's not a good thing to have a superior who doesn't like you.
Fortunately, Huan Zhao didn't do anything too obvious. He assigned Zhao Tuo to Yang Xiong as a gesture of kindness.
Although this appointment made Zhao Tuo feel sick, he was not without joy.
"A Tuo...ah, no, it's time to call Lord Five Hundred. Hey, my black-assed doctor is here again."
Black Hips stood in front of Zhao Tuo with a smile. Next to him, there were Shejian and Xiqigu.
The Qin State implemented a conscription system, but also encouraged soldiers to join the army on their own initiative.
After all, the morale and combat effectiveness of those who actively join the army are much better than those who are forcibly recruited.
Shejian and Heiyi made an agreement when they separated from Zhao Tuo. If Zhao Tuo goes to the battlefield, he must inform them.
Zhao Tuo sent the letter as promised, and the two of them came as promised.
"Jian, your hatred?"
"I've reported it, and everything is fine."
She Jian smiled faintly, and the previous depression was gone from his face.
Zhao Tuo nodded and looked at Xiqigu.
"Having met Mr. Zhao, Xiqigu is willing to serve Mr. Zhao." Xiqigu bowed and saluted.
"Okay, we are all from Gengshi, so we should join hands and share weal and woe!"
Zhao Tuo smiled and reached out to help Xi Qigu.
The arrival of Xiqigu was unexpected by Zhao Tuo.
According to Xiqigu, he has been paying attention to Zhao Tuo and others since returning to his hometown.
He also took advantage of his position to send a message to Heiyi. If he was going to the battlefield, he must be summoned. He was willing to follow Zhao Tuo to the death.
This small country official also has great ambitions.
Xiqigu wants to restore the glory of the Xiqi clan and regain the glory of his ancestors.
Zhao Tuo is the person he likes.
Xiqigu believed that by following the young man in front of him, he could fulfill the wishes of generations of ancestors in his clan.
Zhao Tuo was very happy. The new man is not as good as the old man.
With the help of these three former capable men, he will definitely have a lot of success in this battle against Wei.
Without hesitation, Zhao Tuo immediately appointed Shejian and Heiyi, who had the title of doctor, as one hundred generals, and Xiqigu was appointed as the commander of the short-term soldiers.
When you reach the level of five hundred masters, you can have a short guard of fifty people.
After the 5,000-strong Guanzhong Qin army was reorganized in the military camp, 1,000 garrison soldiers and about 5,000 prisoners and slaves from Hanzhong County also arrived.
The Qin troops in Guanzhong were speechless.
"What kind of bird language are these savages speaking?"
This is a complaint from Black Buttocks. Although others don’t say it, the expressions on their faces are all the same.
The land of Hanzhong originally belonged to the State of Chu. During the reign of King Huiwen of Qin, he attacked Chu and captured it, and established Hanzhong County.
It is located to the north of Daba Mountain and to the south of Qinling Mountains, where there are many savages.
Many of the Hanzhong people who were recruited across the Qinling Mountains this time had their hair down and their bodies wrapped in animal skins. The stench of the barbarians could be smelled from a long distance away.
They were shouting in dialects that no one could understand, making it impossible to communicate.
After the Hanzhong Army arrived, all the 10,000 prisoners and ministers in Guanzhong were also recruited.
In the camp, there were crowds of people and black flags fluttering in the wind.
In this way, everything is ready, and the army sets off directly.
Huan Zhao, the elder of Zuo Shu, was full of high spirits.
He stood on the chariot, commanding 5,000 Guanzhong Qin troops and 1,000 Hanzhong garrison soldiers, escorting a total of 15,000 prisoners and ministers, forming a long queue and heading east.
To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
The army went straight out of Hangu Pass and set foot on the territory of Sanchuan County.
The black butt galloped on the road, shouting for his hundreds of men to be on guard to prevent daring criminals from seeking opportunities to escape. Although the army was on the side, those who dared to escape were basically destined to die, but there is always luck in the world.
of fanatics.
Ever since the car accident happened in Yandi, Heiyi watched Zhao Tuo and Shejian riding horses to chase Yan Dan, and secretly made up his mind to learn equestrian skills.
He got a lot of money during the war. After he returned, he actually bought a horse and learned equestrian skills for several months. Although he was still not as good as Zhao Tuo, he could still race a horse on the road, which made him worthy of being a black-butt doctor.
identity of.
"Master Five Hundred, I heard that not only our gang of barbarians in Guanzhong and Hanzhong, but also Sanchuan County, and even Hedong, Hanoi, and Shangdang counties are recruiting prisoners and ministers."
"You said we were going to attack the Wei State. We wouldn't send a large army to attack them and destroy them directly. Why would we just drive these prisoners and slaves to the Wei State?"
"Let these slaves fill in the gullies of the beams?"
Black Buttocks was a little curious, although the Qin army sometimes let prisoners and slaves assist the army in attacking the city.
But there must be too many people in front of them, many times more than their regular soldiers.
This way of fighting was completely different from what Heiyi had seen in Yandi, and he was filled with doubts.
Not only Black Buttocks, but also Shejian, Xiqigu, and even many officers in the Qin army did not know what the king wanted to do by recruiting so many prisoners and slaves.
After all, they were born in the countryside. Even Xiqigu, who had been a minor official, could hardly see beyond the county. Although Shejian had a strong military intuition, due to his knowledge, it was difficult for him to see the general trend of the world.
.
Compared to everyone's confusion, Zhao Tuo knew the true purpose of their trip very clearly.
He looked ahead. Fifteen thousand prisoners and slaves were lined up in a long snake, and they were slowly moving forward under the protection of six thousand Qin troops.
These people are not here to attack the city.
Even the 6,000 Qin troops responsible for escorting would probably not be sent to the battlefield by the general Wang Ben to fight.
This time the transportation of prisoners and slaves had another purpose.
Because of the urgent military situation, the army led by Huan Zhao escorted the prisoners all the way, and did not stop even when passing by Luoyi, the former capital of the Zhou Dynasty, and headed eastward.
In less than half a month, the Qin army and prisoners and slaves from Guanzhong arrived at Daliang City.
hiss……
The scene under Daliang City made everyone take a breath of cold air.
In addition to the 50,000 soldiers from Huaiyang, the entire Daliang City was now surrounded by nearly 100,000 prisoners and slaves.
These prisoners and slaves came from all over the Qin State and were all escorted and recruited here.
Under the urging of the soldiers, they held hoes and shovels in their hands and dug between Daliang City and Honggou.
Zhao Tuo's eyes swept over the heads of these prisoners and looked further north.
