Seeing that the thing he was most worried about finally appeared, Zhao Xie suddenly felt relieved and calmed down, and his teeth stopped chattering.
After two "chichi" sounds, the carriage fell into silence again.
There was no pain as expected. "Am I dead?", Zhao Xie opened his eyes in confusion and asked.
"Tsk! I thought you were just a waste, but I didn't expect you to be an extremely stupid waste!" A sneer with deep disdain suddenly sounded from in front of Zhao Xie.
Zhao Xie stood up in surprise when he heard this familiar voice, only to realize that the ropes that had tied him up had been broken.
It turns out that he didn't want to kill me just now, he just cut the rope.
"I really can't understand why she wastes so much money just for you, a stupid and useless loser. I don't know what she is thinking!"
Zhao Xie said he was not angry when this man called Ni called him a loser, which was definitely a lie. After all, he had been King Zhao for a few days. But although Zhao Xie was angry in his heart, he did not dare to show it.
At this moment, when he heard the word "she" in this Nie's mouth, he immediately understood that Nie was the one who was ordered to save him.
"Who is he?" Zhao Xie asked without knowing where he got the courage.
As if he didn't hear Zhao Xie's words at all, Nie changed into a comfortable posture and leaned against the wall of the carriage, closing his eyes again. He completely regarded Zhao Xie on his side as nothing.
Zhao Xie couldn't wait for a response for a long time and opened his mouth several times. In the end, he didn't have the courage to speak again. He carefully rubbed his numb arms that were bound and curled up in the corner of the carriage and stopped talking.
The carriage suddenly fell into dead silence.
It was already the third day of May when Hu Hai received another message from Meng Tian from Julu.
After hearing Ying Ying finish reading Meng Tian's letter, Hu Hai did not speak, and his fingers were clasping the copper case in front of him in an unhurried, slow and gentle manner.
Meng Tian searched the whole city all night to no avail. The next day, on the morning of the first day of May, the Jiuyuan Army discovered the ropes used in Nixia City, but they were unable to catch up. A fast horse could cover more than a hundred miles in one night.
.
Shi Ze also entered the city in the morning and reported to Meng Tian the sneak attack that occurred at the camp outside the city at night.
There were not many people in the sneak attack, only about ten people at most. However, they were discovered by the secret sentry before they got close to the camp. After more than ten masked personalities in black killed the secret sentry, they used crossbows to shoot at the camp several times.
Ten rockets.
When Shi Ze arrived with his army, he only found the corpses of two secret sentries, both of whom had been killed with a single blow.
Because the camp received a warning from the hidden sentry and there were few rockets, it did not cause any damage.
Not long after Meng Tian received the news from the Jiuyuan Army that the thief slipped off the city wall, he received an edict from Hu Hai.
Meng Tian and the Jiuyuan Army were not opposed to the idea of cremation, but the only thing that made Meng Tian uneasy was that Hu Hai would visit Julu in person in a month, which made him worried.
At present, Julu has just returned to the Qin Dynasty, and among the four counties of Julu County, there are still three counties that have not returned to the Qin Dynasty. Although Li Zuoche and other bandit leaders have been killed, they ran away from Zhao Wangxie and forced him to hide in the dark.
A huge force of Zhao.
The reason why this Gu Zhao force killed the rest of the Gu Zhao survivors was that it was difficult to escape due to the large number of people. Apparently, they also wanted to control Zhao Xie alone and put Zhao Xie on the throne again.
As a result, it is obvious that Shandong and other places have not truly restored calm, and may even be in chaos again.
Under such circumstances, when His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin came to Shandong, which was chaotic and full of dangers, it was conceivable that these rebellious Zhao survivors and even other hidden forces would definitely assassinate Hu Hai at all costs.
Once Hu Hai is assassinated, even if nothing happens, it will definitely cause turmoil in the entire Qin Dynasty, and it may even spread to Guanzhong, which has just stabilized.
Therefore, after Meng Tian received Hu Hai's edict, he ordered his people to sort out the list of corpses of the fallen soldiers and conduct overt and covert visits to the surviving families of Zhao State. At the same time, he sent a letter to Hu Hai firmly disagreeing with Hu Hai's visit to Julu.
Such a major event happened in Julu in one day and one night. It can be said that it was really beyond Hu Hai's expectation.
Originally, he had always thought that his biggest enemies when he came to Da Qin were four: one was Chen Sheng and Wu Guang who took the lead in the uprising; one was Liu Bang; one was Xiang Yu; and the last one was the barbarians of various ethnic groups around Da Qin.
Unexpectedly, the butterfly effect was so widespread that history quietly deviated from the track after flapping its wings twice.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang disappeared, Zhang Er and Chen Yu appeared; Liu Bang, the final winner of the Qin Dynasty, did not resist, but became his own attendant; Xiang Yu was definitely a threat, and this Hu Hai was definitely;
The barbarians from various tribes around Da Qin have not come yet, and the Huns have not gone south. As a result, Ziying disappeared, and Zhao Tuo took a counter-attack; Zhao Wang rested, Li Zuoche appeared, Li Zuoche died, and Zhao
Wang Xie fled, and a huge force from Zhao came out hiding in the dark;
How many people are still hiding in the dark and looking down? How many people who should not have appeared in history are about to jump out? Hu Hai doesn't know.
With such a major deviation in history due to his appearance, Hu Hai suddenly discovered that the situation he had originally mastered from later generations could no longer bring him any advantage at the moment.
But what else can he have if he loses this advantage? Hu Hai asked himself.
"Your Majesty! General Weng Zhong is here to meet you outside the tent!" Liu Bang walked into the tent and bowed to Hu Hai.
After waiting for a while, Hu Hai, who was sitting in the tent, did not respond.
Liu Bang looked at Ying Yi in confusion and said again: "Your Majesty! General Weng Zhong is here to meet you outside the tent!"
"Ying Yi, I have sent an order to General Meng Tian. I have made up my mind to visit Julu in person. I order him to appease the people in Julu and closely track down Zhao Xie and the deceased Zhao family members who are hiding in the dark. I will send the Dragon Guard to Julu.
Help him." Hu Hai suddenly said.
"I obey your order!" Ying Yi quickly bowed and responded.
"Summon the five soldiers to the Bashang camp to see me!" Hu Hai said immediately.
"Here!"
As soon as Hu Hai saw Ying come out of the tent, he discovered Liu Bang standing below.
"Hey, Liu Aiqing has something to report?" Hu Hai asked doubtfully.
"Your Majesty, General Weng Zhong has an audience outside his tent!" Liu Bang bowed and answered after hearing Hu Hai's question.
"Oh, Weng Zhong is here, Xuan!" Hu Hai then remembered that he had summoned Weng Zhong to see him before.
Weng Zhong arrived two days ago. The reason why he arrived later than Li Xin was mainly because of his huge size.
The old man stretched out one foot and three feet and the Qin Dynasty made one foot and 1 centimeter. One foot = ten feet, which is nearly three meters tall in later generations and weighed four hundred kilograms. He can only be described as a giant.
When Hu Hai met him for the first time, the first word that came to mind was the Hulk. No wonder he was called the "god" by the Yuezhi people.
Weng Zhong's body shape and weight made it impossible to find a horse suitable for him, so he had to take a carriage to Xianyang. Therefore, the journey was much later than when Li Xin arrived in Xianyang.
I hate and love such a plummeting Hu Hai. What I hate is that my height of about 1.75 meters has just reached Weng Shan's waist, and when I stand in front of him, I look like a child. What I love is that such a plummeting figure is in the sky.
On the battlefield, it is really true that one man is in charge and ten thousand men cannot get through.
What's more important is that with Weng Zhong by his side, Hu Hai feels safe when he goes on a personal expedition. Who is the overlord of Chu?
After a while, Weng Zhong bowed and opened the tent and came in.
"Your Majesty, Weng Shen, pays homage to your Majesty!"
Weng Zhong bowed to Hu Hai and said in a thunderous voice. Fortunately, the height of the tent was high enough, otherwise Weng Zhong would have to keep bowing while speaking.
Hu Hai rubbed his ears that were numb from the shock of Weng Shen's loud voice and said: "Weng Aiqing, there is no need to be polite. How are you selecting the soldiers I ordered you to choose?"
Weng Zhong can be said to be the best choice to lead the heavy armored infantry, so when he came to Hu Hai, he immediately gave him the false title of General Ba Shang and ordered him to select eight-foot-tall and eight-foot-tall generals from the 600,000-strong army of Ba Shang Camp.
Soldiers with a foot or above form a heavy armored corps.
Weng Zhong looked a little embarrassed when he saw Hu Hai rubbing his ears. Although he looked older, his real biological age was less than twenty years old. It could be said that he was one or two years younger than Hu Hai.
"Back to Your Majesty, I have selected more than 6,000 people in total."
This time Weng Zhong obviously lowered his voice a lot, which made him seem very uncomfortable.
"Six thousand people were selected out of six hundred thousand?" Hu Hai said in surprise.
"Your Majesty, there are only more than 6,000 people in the 600,000-strong army who are over eight feet tall and can lift a thousand pounds. I dare not disobey your Majesty's order, so I only selected 6,211 people." General Weng Zhong reported the exact number.
When he came out, he thought Hu Hai was dissatisfied.
Little did he know that after hearing Weng Zhong's words, Hu Hai was not only not dissatisfied, but also extremely happy.
A big man with a height of more than eight feet would be at least about 1.9 meters in later generations. To be able to select more than 6,000 people from the 600,000-strong army in Bashang can be said to be far beyond Hu Hai's expectations, almost ten times.
There is a probability of one.
It seems that the physical fitness of the Chinese people at this time in the pre-Qin period was much better than that of later generations, at least in terms of height.
"Do you know how many people there are who can't lift a thousand pounds between seven and eight feet?"
"Your Majesty, among the 600,000-strong army of the Bashang Camp, there must be 30,000 people who are seven to eight feet tall but less than a thousand catties strong!" Weng Zhong thought for a while and said with certainty.
Hu Hai couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Weng Shen's words.
More than 6,000 people plus 30,000 people, that's nearly 40,000 people. Although there is still a gap between the 100,000 heavy armored corps envisioned by Hu Hai, it is enough to form the prototype of a heavy armored corps led by Weng Zhong.
Once you have a prototype, you can slowly replenish the rest. Besides, the expansion is too fast, and it is impossible for Shangfang to create so many armors and weapons specifically for the heavy armor legion in a short period of time.
The most important thing is that Da Qin's current war horses are not suitable for heavy armored cavalry. Not only the knights need to be fully armored, but the war horses also need to be covered with armor, so that they can be called heavy armored cavalry.
With these more than 30,000 heavily armored legions, Hu Hai did not believe that in today's Great Qin there was still an army that could withstand the charge of 30,000 heavily armored troops on the frontal battlefield. He also had 6,000 heavily armored infantry. The critical moment was
A deadly sword.
The most important thing is that the heavy armored infantry can advance and attack, and retreat and defend.
Hu Hai has already thought of a name for this heavy armored army to be led by Weng Shen - "Xuanwu Army"!--
