The cold current from the far north crossed the Loess Plateau and blew into Guanzhong later than in Longxi, and it also blew into the Central Plains later than the Zhongtiao Mountains. It's just that this year's winter night is limited, when the Chu army of Longxi County braved the wind and snow to rush to Guanzhong, the sea of sand also began to snow, and yesterday's earthy yellow field woke up and became a world covered in silver. The tents in the barracks collapsed quite a bit during the night - the snow fell on the black curtain, and soon a thick layer accumulated to crush the black curtain, and some of the soldiers were frostbitten, and a few were frozen to death.

The first thing Wang Jian did when he ascended the tent early in the morning was to ask all the lieutenants to report the number of dead and wounded in their own lieutenants. Usually these tasks will be put last, in the spring, summer, summer and autumn barracks are prone to epidemics, from autumn to winter, epidemics are no longer the focus of his attention, but a night of wind and snow freezing to death frostbite and frostbite many soldiers, so as soon as he raised the account, he mentioned the problem of soldiers freezing to death and frostbite and cold protection and warmth.

Wang Jian had a shogunate, and each lieutenant also had his own small shogunate. The establishment of the small shogunate, like the large shogunate, was also seventy-two people. Among them, astronomical strategists must 'divide the ephemeris, wait for the weather, push the time, test the symbols, and check the disasters', and the legal calculation must 'calculate the entry and exit of the three military camps, food, and financial use'. One night of wind and snow, the astronomical strategists must be warned in advance, today the wind has stopped and the snow has stopped, the sun is shining, and the law calculation must quickly count the casualties of the captain and report to the commander and the shogunate.

"Fourteen people were killed and seven hundred and sixty-nine wounded last night."

"Twenty-seven people were killed and six hundred and fifty-eight wounded last night."

"Thirty-four people were killed and eight hundred and fourteen wounded last night......"

In the big curtain, according to each other's seats, one lieutenant after another reported the casualties of their own captain, and the number of soldiers who froze to death could not be counted, only a few dozen. There are many cases of frostbite, but unfortunately the shogunate priests did not have much to do about frostbite, and most of them could only be allowed to heal naturally. When the captains made their announcements, Wang Jian habitually squinted his eyes or even closed his eyes to listen to the captains' instructions, and only when he found a problem would he open his eyes and look directly at the person who spoke.

"Ben, Captain Ben died four last night... Fourteen people, a thousand wounded......" When Du Wei Jiaosheng spoke, Wang Jian opened his eyes. Jiao Sheng, who was already a little nervous, saw the general's eyes shoot directly at him, and he was so shocked that he couldn't make a sound. The two looked at each other for half a second, interrupted by Kakukatsu bowing his head.

Wang Jian coughed, his nose sniffed a few times in the air, and said with a smile: "Du Wei's long shirt is very new today. ”

The costume of the commander is not much different from the costume of the Qin pawn, the biggest difference is in the crown, the captain is all double curly-tailed crane crowns, while the head of the soldier is mostly a curtain, some people will wear the most ordinary leather bands, and those with knighthoods wear veneers and long board crowns. In addition to the crown, the big difference is the armor, the difference in clothing is not obvious, everyone's outer clothes are long undergarments with hems over the knees, and the bottoms are tarsal notes. The long undergarment is generally two, one outside and one inside, and the colors are different.

Wang Jian praised Jiao Sheng's long shirt and tarsal note was very new, and the eyes of the lieutenant in the tent immediately converged on Jiao Sheng's clothes, under the lace-decorated thin leaf armor, the green long shirt was indeed very new, and the red tarsal note was also very new, this was a new clothes. Before the snow, the north wind swept wildly, the wind and sand were all over the sky, and the general Wang Jian was often dusty, and the clothes of the rest of the generals were not only dirty, but also old. Qin is short of food, Qin is also short of cloth, Jiao Sheng is indeed a little strange to change new clothes today, this is not known when to change new clothes.

"The last general, the last general......" Wang Qian's praise made Jiao Sheng bow his head, and he didn't know how to explain why his clothes were new.

"I heard it, Du Wei was drunk last night......" Wang Jian looked at Jiao Sheng who bowed his head, and the words he said made Jiao Sheng tremble. Therefore, today's gathering will be wearing new clothes, but is there such a thing? ”

"Huh?" Jiao Sheng, who was trembling, couldn't help but say a word, and hurriedly said, "None... There is no such thing. Great generals, great generals. ”

"Mingcha?" Wang Jian narrowed his eyes, and Liu Chi glanced behind him, a soldier walked in front of Wang Jian with a bunch of clothes, and an officer who was also wearing a crane crown also walked in front of Wang Jian from the back tent, Jiao Sheng saw this person as if he saw a ghost.

"Colonel Du Zuo, with my Qin Law, the false accuser sits back, did the lieutenant drink and get drunk last night?" The atmosphere in the curtain immediately changed, this was no longer a daily military business, it was a trial.

"General, the lieutenant was indeed very drunk last night. This morning, I was afraid that the general would smell wine, so he changed into new clothes. "Jiao Sheng didn't dare to raise his head when Colonel Du Zuo spoke, but he didn't look at Jiao Sheng, but turned his head to look at the other lieutenants." Last night, he didn't drink alone, and the villain heard the voice of Captain Hua Du outside the tent last night. ”

Drinking is rarely alone, and when Du Zuoxiao's eyes were looking for it in the crowd, Hua Fu's heart was furious, and when he saw him recruit himself, he collapsed on the ground without coming out. Wang Jian didn't seem to see Hua Fu who collapsed on the ground and Jiao Sheng who knelt down, he only shouted: "Where is the army?" ”

"The subordinate is here." The army was out of the queue and also stood in front of Wang Qian.

"What's the sin of drinking?" Wang Jian asked again. Hearing his voice, Kakusheng, who couldn't support it, collapsed to the ground.

"The general, with the order of the general, drink to death." The right way to the army. "Drinking alcohol without compassion for the cold of the soldiers is a sin on top of a crime......"

"Eldest son, eldest son," when Jiao Sheng collapsed, Hua Fu, who heard that he had committed a capital crime, plucked up some courage and knelt down in front of the protector Fusu and nodded. "Eldest son, help. The general is also harsh, and Qin Lu has never been guilty of drinking and being condemned. The last general went to the tent of the captain, and had to drink a duke under the hospitality, and then the last general patrolled overnight, and the captain, the captain, only ten people died, only ten people died! ”

"If you have drunk alcohol, you are breaking the law." Wang Jian looked at Hua Fu very displeased, and he sighed: "Where is the armor? ”

Wang Jian drank, the shogunate armor marched forward, under the instructions of Junzheng, they quickly set up Jiaosheng and dragged it out, when it was Hua Fu's turn, Hua Fu, who was unwilling to accept his fate, suddenly stepped forward and hugged Fusu's feet, shouting: "Help, eldest son!" The eldest son helps. The last will not sin unto death! I will not sin unto death......"

"Presumptuous!" Wang Jian was shocked and angry, he didn't expect Hua Fu to hug Fusu's feet.

"Rude!" The general of the protector behind Fusu also shouted, and Zaras, who was sitting behind Aristotle IV on Fusu's side, hurriedly drew his sword, and the army was worried that Huafu would be unfavorable to Fusu.

Fortunately, Fusu was not panicked, but he was a little at a loss, and he didn't know what to do with the lieutenant who was holding his legs. When he wanted to speak, the whining and wailing Hua Shun let go of his legs in fright, and the shogunate armor did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly carried him out. At this time, Kafu began to wail for help again, but after the shogunate was erected, his voice became quieter and quieter until he disappeared.

"If the minister is careless, please forgive the eldest son." Wang Jian got up and confessed in front of Fusu, although Fusu was tall, he was only a young man in Ziyi.

"What is the general's crime?" Fu Su Qiang smiled, he originally wanted to intercede for the captain who knelt down and begged him just now, but his father's words echoed in his ears, and he finally endured the words of pleading and asked Wang Jian to return to the table.

At this time, the lieutenants continued to report the death and wounds of their own lieutenants the previous night, and then talked about military affairs as usual, and it was almost noon that the lieutenants dispersed. Fusu didn't think that today's military discussion was any different from the past, but Aristotle IV, who was hurriedly taken out of Xianyang this month and sat with him, saw something unusual, and after killing two lieutenants in a row, the remaining lieutenants were all trembling, fearing that they would be accused of treachery by their subordinates if they had any mistakes, and when they left, they fell to the ground and did not bow as before.

"Only if they are kept in fear at every moment will they fight the battlefield." In the middle of the night, Aristotle IV looked at his student and hesitated for a long time before saying this. Although his expectations of Fusu are not as high as those of Wuji, Wuji's ending is tragic, as he dies in a faked accident and is pushed off a cliff by Zaras.

"It has to be like this?" Fusu looked at his teacher, and in the morning at the shogunate, he almost interceded for Kafu.

"This must be done, General Wang is right." Aristotle IV smiled.

After saying this, he knew what Fusu was trying to say—he had mentioned more than once that when the Persians invaded Greece, the citizens of the Greek states took up arms for the freedom of the city-state, and they fought valiantly against a staggering number of Persian troops without fear; He had more than once mentioned to Fusu what freedom was, and to the despotic monarchs of the East. He knew that Fusu would find it difficult to accept such words, so he added, "At least in Qinni, it must be like this. ”

"I don't want that." Fusu knew that in the eyes of the teacher, the Qin State was a standard Eastern autocracy, and her degree of despotism was no different from that of the Persian Empire, which used profit and violent coercion to drive her subjects to serve the king. This is also the deep worry in his heart: he wants Qin to become a Greek-style free city-state, but under the impetus of his father, Qin is turning into an autocratic empire.

"You have to accept it." Grinding makes people precocious, and Aristotle IV knew his students. "Otherwise, your father would have let your brother inherit his throne instead of you."

"But I ......" For the prince, the teacher was his earliest staff. Fusu believed that the teacher was telling the truth, and this time he went to Huaixian to greet his father, and he felt his father's indifference to him. If it was before, my father would definitely not let himself come to the Sand Sea camp in a hurry.

"Fusu, you must have your father's trust, just as Alexander the Great had the trust of his father, Philip II." Aristotle IV advised again. "If you want to change something, do something, you can do it after you become the king of Qinni."

"Later?" Fusu read the word, and then shook his head: "No." My mother is from Chuni, and my father is ......."

"But the Qinni army likes you and reves you." Aristotle IV said. "After Philip II's assassination, it was the Macedonian army that chose Alexander as their king, rather than Philip II's associates and ministers in the royal court. They didn't like him very much. ”
