Lang, in the Da Qin official system, was an alternate official to be elected.
Langs in the Qin Dynasty are generally the descendants of bureaucrats from the Gongqing family. On the one hand, they serve as the emperor's retainers, and on the other hand, they study government affairs. This is also an important way for the descendants of the bureaucrats in the Qin Dynasty to enter the court or become officials in the future.
Langzhong, also known as Zhonglang, mainly refers to the attendants who accompany the emperor in his carriages and deliver decrees and edicts.
Letting Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, be his doctor and attendant, Hu Hai not only satisfied his little desire to torture Liu Bang, but his main purpose of making this arrangement was to keep Liu Bang close by.
guard
Although Liu Bang has come to his door now, he has not yet rebelled. If he is directly rewarded as an official like Xiao He and others, then Liu Bang, who is closely related to Xiao He and others, will always be a time bomb.
But if Hu Hai completely conquers Xiao He, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and others, Liu Bang alone will no longer be able to make big waves.
When Liu Bang heard that Hu Hai actually left him by his side as an attendant, he was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed and quickly bowed to Xiao He to thank Xiao He. The others also looked at Liu Bang with envious expressions.
After all, everyone knows that if you stay with the emperor as a doctor, although you have no real power now, your future will be bright whether you join the court or become an official.
"That being the case, it's settled that I will order people to move all your family members to Xianyang, so you don't have to worry about your family. I'm a little tired, so I'll take the six dear friends to go down and have a rest. Tomorrow you and others will take charge of their duties.
position"
"I'll take my leave."
Hu Hai smiled faintly when he saw the six people leaving with excited faces.
Those who deserved to be beaten have been beaten, and those who deserved to be rewarded have also been rewarded. The large army in the Bashang camp is enough to frighten Liu Bang and a few others. If they move their six family members to Xianyang as hostages, they should be able to defeat Xiao He and others.
People's thoughts
Of course, if Liu Bang really wants to rebel, it can only be said that it is his own fault. Hu Hai will never show mercy.
Thinking of the families of Liu Bang and others, Hu Hai couldn't help but think of Liu Bang's wife Lu Fei
This famous Poison Queen in history is still a girl now, of course you have to check it out
That night, Hu Hai received the military information reported by Meng Tian in a letter eagle.
It has now been 13 days since Meng Tian and Li Xin led their troops out of Xianyang on April 17.
Every three days, the Dragon Guard will use the letter eagle to report the movements of Meng Tian's army to Hu Hai who is far away in Xianyang. The last letter was three days ago. The letter stated that Meng Tian's army had arrived in Handan along the Qin Yan Qi Chi Road.
The Qin-Yan-Qi Chi Road was built on the basis of the old Hewai road that originally connected Zhou, Han and Wei. After leaving Hangu Pass, it leaves Anyang in the north, passes through Handan and reaches Jicheng in the north. It turns southeast from Jicheng and enters Qi.
Directly to Linzi, and finally to Jimo, the easternmost coastal fortress of Jiaodong County
Handan, where Meng Tian arrived three days ago, is less than a hundred miles away from Julu County, where Julu County is governed.
On April 27, after Meng Tian led an army of 89,000 yuan to Handan, the Handan governor and people who had been worried about the news of the Julu rebellion suddenly felt at ease.
Meng Tian’s name as the God of War is not for nothing.
After declining the Handan County Guard's request to reward the army, Meng Tian led an army of 100,000 and did not do anything in Handan. He crossed the city and went straight to Julu. Meng Tian's army was also composed of the front, middle and rear armies.
The two armies at the front and rear are both 20,000, and the center army is 40,000.
The former general of the army was originally Meng Wen, a descendant of the Meng family. However, Meng Wen was escorted back to the Meng family by Meng Tian to reflect on his past mistakes. The current general of the former army, also known as the vanguard general, is the school captain Zhang Wu. This Wu was the first general to plead guilty when Hu Hai rewarded the army.
The central army was personally led by Meng Tian. The general of the rear army was Linghu Fan, the Marquis of the Five Horses. Linghu Fan was left behind in Taiyuan, the original state of Wei. When Qin destroyed Wei, Linghu Fan surrendered to Qin. He was named the Marquis of the Five Horses by the First Emperor. He was later transferred to Jiuyuan Marquis Mengtian.
Under his command, he is in charge of Jiuyuan Logistics
This time, Meng Tian asked Linghu Fan to command the rear army to coordinate logistics. Because this time Meng Tian's army went out, Hu Hai also did not recruit a single civil servant. All military supplies and supplies were carried by Meng Tian's army himself.
That night, when former general Zhang Wu led his army to a place fifty miles north of Handan City, he suddenly received a report from a scout exploring the road ahead. Twenty miles ahead, he found a large number of soldiers heading straight for Handan from the direction of Julu along the Chi Road.
The flags used are the two flags of "Zhao" and "Peng"
"Zhao? Peng?" Zhang Wu hesitated for a moment, and then ordered his personal guards to fly to report Meng Tian, who was still in the Chinese army group ten miles behind. After waiting for his personal guards Pegasus to report to Meng Tian, Zhang Wu ordered 20,000 troops to set up a formation on the spot.
Shape, be serious about it
Zhang Wu's 20,000-strong army only has 5,000 infantry, and the rest are all cavalry. This is also related to the enemies Jiuyuan must face. The only opponents of the Jiuyuan Army are the Huns, so the proportion of cavalry in Jiuyuan is
Very big, almost as many as infantry.
The 100,000 troops entering the pass this time were 50,000 infantry and 50,000 cavalry. The 20,000 rear troops responsible for the baggage were all infantry. Therefore, as the vanguard of Zhang Wu's 20,000 troops, Meng Tian only arranged 5,000 infantry for him.
, fifteen thousand cavalry
Zhang Wu placed 5,000 infantry on the central avenue. There were 5,000 original cavalry on each side of the avenue in the wilderness. The remaining 5,000 cavalry were placed behind the 5,000 infantry as a general reserve.
If it were daytime, Zhang Wu would definitely choose to use his large group of cavalry to quickly attack the sudden "Zhao Peng" army, which was obviously an enemy but not a friend. However, it was already dark now, which was not conducive to a cavalry attack.
At the same time, Zhang Wu did not think that if there were scouts in his forward army, the approaching "Zhao Peng" army would not have any scouts.
In the dark night, if the enemy's scouts find out about his 20,000-strong army, then he will die if he orders the cavalry to attack them.
Zhang Wu was right to be cautious. When the Qin army's scouts discovered the army coming from the direction of Julu, they also discovered the Qin army twenty miles away. This army coming from the direction of Julu was sent by Li Zuoche.
The army that went south to capture Handan
On April 8, Li Zuoche raised troops from Nanpi near Cangzhou, Hebei Province to fight against the Qin Dynasty.
Nanpi is in the southeast of Julu County, but Julu County governs Julu in the southwest of Julu County, which means one is at the front and the other is at the end. So it took Li Zuoche a full fifteen days to reach Julu from Nanpi to Pingping, Hebei today.
southwest of the township, and then captured Julu on April 24
Under Julu, Li Zuoche immediately pushed Xie, the dead Zhao noble he had found earlier, to the throne of King Zhao. He made Julu County the capital of the country and officially restored Zhao on April 25, the first year of Qin II.
After the state of Zhao was restored, King Zhao Xie appointed Li Zuoche as prime minister and general.
That's why this army coming from the direction of Julu is carrying the flag with the word "Zhao"
As for the "Peng" flag, it refers to the fact that Peng Yue, who had recently surrendered to Li Zuoche and was granted the title of Zhuguo by King Zhao, went south to capture Handan. Li Zuoche personally took charge of Julu, consolidated the rear, and organized and trained the army, so he sent
Peng Yuan went to Handan
Peng Yue, a native of Julu County, has been leading a group of people to fish for a living in the lakes on the outskirts of Julu County. Of course, he also works part-time as a bandit. Originally, after the fall of the Qin Dynasty in history, and the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Peng Yue was exiled after joining Liu Bang.
Conferred the title of King of Liang
In the end, Peng Yue was chopped into meat paste by Lu Pheasant and distributed to the princes of the world, and the entire clan was executed.
Of course, now that Liu Bang is Hu Hai's attendant, it is naturally impossible for him to be the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty. Lu Fei cannot become the queen, and it is unknown which path Peng Yue will take.
When Li Zuoche attacked Cuo County, Peng Yue's thieves persuaded him to raise troops to fight against Qin and seek wealth. At that time, Peng Yue did not agree. It was not until Li Zuoche attacked Julu that Peng Yue came with hundreds of thieves.
take refuge
Peng Yue's thieves were all natives of Julu County, so they quickly contacted their accomplices in Julu County, and they worked together to easily break through the high-walled Julu City.
It was precisely with this merit that Peng Yue was granted the title of Zhuguo by King Zhao Xie.
This time when he went south to Handan, Li Zuoche was originally going to lead the army in person. However, under the giant deer, the Zhao State had just been established. In addition, the surviving members of the Zhao State who were originally scattered all over the country came to seek refuge. Everyone wanted to gain the support of the established Zhao State.
In his high position, the newly re-established State of Zhao started quarreling in the court every day, which made Li Zuoche very anxious.
He had no choice but to send Peng Yue to lead 50,000 elite troops south to Handan. In Li Zuoche's view, the Qin Dynasty was now only a strong external force but a weak leader, and had too much to take care of itself. Although he believed that Peng Yue was not a very good soldier, it was enough to capture Handan, which had an empty defense.
The messengers from the imperial army who left Hangu Pass and went to Shandong and other counties to deliver Hu Hai's three edicts on sin had already arrived in Julu. Li Zuoche did know about Hu Hai's three edicts on sin, but he only regarded it as a delaying tactic by the Qin court, which showed that the Qin Dynasty
He is strong on the outside and hard on the inside, he doesn’t take it to heart at all
The reason why Li Zuoche hurriedly sent Peng Yue to go to Handan before his footing was stable was actually to expand Zhao's strategic depth.
After all, Handan and Julu are close at hand. If Handan is too insecure, we can take advantage of the opportunity and go south to Hanoi along the Qin Yan Qi Chi Road and go straight to Sanchuan, and Sanchuan is where Aocang, the largest official warehouse in Da Qin, is located.
While sending Peng Yue to go to Handan, Li Zuoche sent another close friend Li Bi to lead 50,000 armored elite troops, and went straight to Linzi along the Qin and Yan Qi Chi Road. Linzi also had the Qin official warehouse Lincang.
The reason why Li Zuoche raised troops in Nanpi and did not go directly south to Linzi was because there were too few soldiers and most of them were not fully armored. Julu was a dangerous place that military strategists must fight for. As the governor of Julu County, it not only had a large amount of food and grass, but also had a lot of food and grass.
There are weapons, armors and other weapons that the army urgently needs.
The second reason is that Linzi is too far away from Julu. Li Zuoche, the grandson of Li Mu, would not be able to do an expedition with a weak army.
Although Peng Yue, who was leading a large army in battle for the first time, was not good at using troops, Li Zuoche sent him several officials from the shogunate to follow Peng Yue south to Handan.
And Peng Yue also knew his shortcomings, so all the way south, the marching route, food and grass, camping and other matters were left to the shogunate officials sent by Li Zuoche to handle, while he himself became the hands-off shopkeeper.
The first thing Peng Yue did after receiving the news from the scouts was to invite these shogunate officials and ask how to deal with them (to be continued)
