Chapter 15 Qingpi, teach him everything a crossbowman should do.
The next day.
At the end of the day, Zhao Shu got up, washed up, and ran along the quarry. This was what he did every day.
Compared with the children of military families, he lacked a lot, and only hard work could make up for his shortcomings. He was even as diligent as those from military families.
Every successful person has worked hard behind the scenes, and success is far from as easy as it appears after success.
Circle after circle, Zhao Shu just stopped at sunrise. At this time, the prisoners also got up and started the day's work.
Covered in sweat, Zhao Shu did not wash up immediately. Instead, he went to Gu's room first and changed a roll of bamboo slips.
Yesterday he read the plan chapter, and today it was changed to the battle chapter. He did not open the bamboo slips immediately, but returned to his residence as soon as possible.
After exchanging the bamboo slips for a while, the sweat on his body was almost dry, just in time to wash up and relax.
After washing up, Zhao Shu took the bamboo slips to the quarry. He saw the prisoners working hard, with the corps commander, chief, and hundreds of people supervising them, and he couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Master Five Hundred!" Everyone greeted, and Zhao Shu responded with a smile. The atmosphere in the quarry was harmonious. Both the prisoners and the service personnel were very convinced of Zhao Shu.
In the past, quarrying was the most dangerous job and the one that no one wanted to do. Not only was it easy to die, but you also had to work for a long time every day and you couldn't even eat.
Since Zhao Shu proposed a series of changes, not only can the work in the quarry be completed on time and on time, but the mortality rate has also been continuously reduced.
Moreover, on hot days, there is still time to enjoy the cool air. Because of this, countless prisoners are watching the work in the quarry.
The prisoners in the quarry know that if they want to keep their jobs, they must be obedient. Therefore, these days, sometimes when Zhao Shu is not around, everyone works very hard.
"Keep an eye on it and try not to cause casualties while ensuring the progress." Zhao Shu looked at everyone and said loudly: "The superior said that if we complete the task on time this month and try to avoid deaths, we can do it next month.
Eat meat twice.”
"Thank you Lord Five Hundred, thank you!" All the prisoners cheered. Eating more meat means being strong, and it is easier to survive in the Lishan Mausoleum.
Eating meat twice a month means they can last longer doing the same work.
"Second and third sons, work!" After giving instructions, Zhao Shu sat down on the big stone on one side and began to look through the bamboo slips.
"promise."
The prisoner heard Zhao Shu's words and worked with enthusiasm. The service personnel on the side saw Zhao Shu looking through the bamboo slips and did not come close.
They all knew that Zhao Shu had a good relationship with Shangli Gu and they could not afford to offend him.
"The method of using military force is to drive a thousand chariots, a thousand leather chariots, a hundred thousand armors, and provide food for thousands of miles.
Then the internal and external expenses, the use of guests, the materials for glue and paint, and the support of chariots and armors will cost a thousand gold per day, and then a hundred thousand troops will be raised."
The writing of this era was from left to right, and there were no punctuation marks. Every sentence was different and had completely different meanings.
There are annotations on the bamboo slips.
Zhao Shu has also read "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. After comparing it with each other, he can probably understand the meaning above.
To understand something, you need to understand it and then use it for your own use. In the past, when he read, he mostly swallowed it without asking for a deeper understanding.
However, after participating in the siege yesterday, he stood on the arrow stack and looked at the development of the entire battle. It was with this concept of war that Zhao Shu had a deeper understanding of "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.
After taking a look at the bamboo slips of time, Zhao Shu inspected the quarry, stone separation area, and storage area, took a sip of water, and sat on the big stone again.
This time, although he opened the bamboo slip, he did not read it. Instead, he was rehearsing the war. In his mind, the armies were fighting, and he was still a dead soldier.
Holding a long sword in his hand, he charged forward, climbed up the ladder, dodged rocks and rolling trees, and avoided being shot by archers, before he climbed onto the city wall.
Just climbing onto the city wall was the beginning of disaster. He was just a man and fell into the enemy's army. After killing three people, he was stabbed to death by the enemy's random swords.
"The camp of dead soldiers is indeed the easiest place to die. The army attacks the city. They are cannon fodder in the true sense!" Zhao Shu couldn't help but sigh with emotion for a long time.
Time passed bit by bit, and Zhao Shu rushed from the Lishan Mausoleum area to the capital army camp. However, as soon as he arrived at the Dead Soldiers Camp, Zhang came over.
"Soldier skills, the captain has ordered you to go to the crossbow camp today."
Hearing this, Zhao Shu was stunned and looked at Zhang in confusion: "Wu Zhang, I..."
"Don't say so much, this is the commander's order, just obey it." Zhang interrupted coldly, and said to Zhao Shu, "Let's go, I will take you there."
"Thank you, Captain."
On the way, Zhao Shu was thinking about the reason. His performance in the death camp was not outstanding, it could only be said to be about the same.
However, he has basically learned everything about the Death Soldier Battalion. To capture the city, the Death Soldier Battalion relies entirely on personal bravery.
"Captain, this is a soldier's technique. The general is here." Zhang said respectfully to a young man.
"Captain Huang Qianfu told this general that you can leave if he stays." The young man's tone was solemn. After Zhang left, he looked at Zhao Shu: "Soldier technique?"
"Commander of Thousands, this is the right skill." Seeing the young man speak, Zhao Shu quickly replied respectfully.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to come here. He came to learn how to settle down and make a living. These people, including Zhang, were all his teachers.
Therefore, Zhao Shu was very respectful to everyone, and he knew in his heart that such an opportunity would never happen again if he missed it.
After taking a look at Zhao Shu, Su Jiu didn't see anything strange about Zhao Shu that deserved Zhang Han's personal instructions.
"From today on, you are a member of my Gongnu camp, just follow me!"
"promise."
Su Jiu walked into the camp and said to the soldiers: "Qingpi, take him to your army and teach him everything a crossbowman should do."
"promise."
Qingpi led Zhao Shu forward. On the way, he smiled and said, "Young man, have you just joined the capital army?"
"No, I just came from the Dead Soldiers Camp, and I haven't asked my elder brother how to address him?" Zhao Shu knew that the other person's name was Qingpi, but he couldn't call him by his first name.
In this era, calling a person by his first name is a provocation to a person. He has just joined the crossbowmen camp, and offending others will be detrimental to him.
"Haha, just call me She Chang." Qingpi smiled, becoming somewhat curious about Zhao Shu's identity.
This was a person that Su Jiu could bring in person, and he was in the dead soldiers' camp, and he was sent here for no reason.
It is not that such transfers from other branches of the Qin army never happened, but it usually happened in the frontline army.
The Capital Army was stationed in Xianyang, and such things rarely happened, at least since he came to the Capital Army, he had never seen it.
For a while, Qingpi had countless guesses about Zhao Shu's identity, and finally smiled and said: "Hangsheng, what about you?"
