The spies who went deep into Ba County and Hanzhong County returned one after another, bringing with them the information that Lu Zhe urgently needed.
Among the many documents, the frequent movement of the Qin army is the most common word, Quren County has become a grain hoarding place in Ba County, and Fangling County in Hanzhong County is also hoarding grain, and a qiē and a qiē are indicating something.
Confirming that the Qin State had arrangements in Ba County and Hanzhong County, Lu Zhe was very glad that he was cautious, and immediately sent Yi Flail to personally inform Luo Shao, who was hidden in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River (the first line of Badong), to start acting according to the plan.
Lu Zhe once again summoned the patriarch and gentry in the township, did not hide the imminent war, and clearly informed that there would be a big battle with the Qin army next year.
The participants were all stunned, thinking that Lu Zhe was not enough military funds to raise donations, and Fanxian, who was designated as the official of the Kaifu Jianya Sacrifice, took the lead in expressing his willingness to take out 300 eridium gold and 8,000 stone grain to strengthen the army's prestige, and Lu Nan and Jia Ping expressed their willingness to donate after being unwilling. With these three people taking the lead, how much eridium and how much grain there was, and how much grain there was, for a time they actually made up 3,200 eridium gold and 64,000 stone of grain.
So a little military capital and food is nothing at all, what Lu Zhe values is that they are not scared because they are about to fight the Qin army, and the enthusiastic donation is enough to show that the clan and the gentry have expressed their intention to tide over the difficulties together.
"County Lord, we have long been in a relationship of both glory and loss." Fanxian said sincerely: "If you have any orders to speak directly, how can we refuse?" ”
Everyone echoed one after another, no matter whether Lu Zhe would win or not, now that Nanjun was still in power, there was a way to solve what happened in the future. Therefore, if you don't show your heart now, when will you show your heart?
"There is no shortage of military funds, and there is no shortage of food." Lu Zhe smiled heartily, "With your attitude, then there is nothing missing." He bowed his hand.
There is no shortage of returns, but the donations that should be collected still have to be collected, and even Lu Zhe asked each family to double the original donations.
There is a pay will be cared, there is no pay will always have a kind of concern for oneself hanging high psychology, the more you pay, the more attention will be paid to this is a special emotion.
"Our army wins, and your efforts will be repaid tenfold." Lu Zhe looked at the many people who were smiling bitterly. "It's a good deal," he said. ”
"So ......" Jia Ping landed and said: "Jia's sacrifice 1,000 eridium, 50,000 stones of various grains!" ”
Lu Nan instantly understood, this is a bet, anyway, if he loses, it will be like that, and if he wins, Jia Ping will not ask for any money at all, so that in the future, Lu Zhe can repay Jia from the right. He also spoke: "The Lu family offers 800 eridium, 30,000 stones of various grains!" ”
Fanxian regretted how he was robbed, since he was preempted, he could only grit his teeth and say: "Fan's offer 1,500 yi." 100,000 stone of all kinds of grain! ”
The other people looked at Fan, Lu, and Jia in shock, and they still didn't understand, and they gritted their teeth and began to bet heavily when they understood.
Lu Zhe ordered people to write them down one by one. Flipping through a roll of bamboo slips on the long case, "The big war is coming, and there are a lot of goods needed in the army." Each has its own industry, so let's find out about it. ”
Where there is effort, there is a return. The materials needed for the Great War are massively calculated, and buying supplies from them is the first reward.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait to know how much share they could have.
See their reactions. Lu Zhe knew that there was a basis for the implementation of the next policy, and waited for them to calm down a little, and said with a smile: "There may be some shortcomings in the digestion of the army of this county......
The main event came, and they said to themselves.
"The Qin State has recently made a large-scale arrest and meticulous work, and business travel is the focus of inspection, especially in Ba, Shu, and Han," Lu Zhe said not to scare people, he asked, "You have caravans that have entered the above three counties, who can sue me, is it that the caravan that should come back in the near future has not returned?" ”
An emaciated middle-aged man stood up, saluted, and said, "Indeed." My family had a caravan into Ba County, which was supposed to return on September 13, but it has not yet returned. ”
"My family went to Shu County ......"
"Go to Ba County ......"
"Go to Hanzhong ......"
There are caravans at home that have entered the southwest of Qinguo County There are a lot of caravans, they thought it was a delay, but when they heard that so many caravans did not come back, how could they not know that what Lu Zhe said was the truth, and the caravan that did not come back was probably detained.
Many people's faces became pale, it is not impossible for the caravan to be seized and want to come back, but people can come back with goods but they can't come back, it is really a heavy loss!
"This is a long-term acquisition, and you should know how much material the army needs to move." Lu Zhe's words were gentle and heavy, "If you have difficulties, you can advance the part after the contract is signed." ”
The pale face slowly turned bloody, and some people hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply. The loss of one or two caravans of the big family may not be severe, but the loss of a caravan by the small and medium-sized families is a strain and a bone, and their gratitude to Lu Zhe for his actions has also reached a certain level, which is obviously to help them get through the difficulties.
One pressure, one up, Lu Zhe used it perfectly, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and at the same time directly issued military orders in front of them, Nan County, Hengshan County, Cangwu County, and the various checkpoints in the three places began to implement orders with no entry and no exit.
Solving the affairs of the various families in Nanjun is only the first step, and then there are a group of people in Hengshan County who need to have other plans, and Cangwu County has no such trouble because it was infiltrated by Baiyue earlier.
There are footnotes to civil affairs, but the affairs of the army are not so simple, Gongwei and Xu Zhi are training troops while building a defense line in Hengshan County, Wu Liang and Yi are training the new army and leading 10,000 Qin troops to fight against Baiyue, and the troops of Nanjun are also practicing every day.
There is another thing, the drawings sent by Zhao Gao some time ago have been proven to be useful, and the performance of the pouting crossbow made according to the drawings is no different from that of the orthodox Qin army, and no shortcomings have been found after repeated practice, so Lu Zhe does not understand Zhao Gao's intentions more and more.
Since it proved useful, it became logical to figure out the construction principle and make it easy to wind the human winch, and now there is a Yuecheng that is divided into a special production of pouting crossbows, and the monthly output can make about eight hundred.
At the same time, borrowing from the structure of the pouting crossbow, the Nanjun bed crossbow has also been improved, and the improved range is about 1,400 meters, and there is also a Yuecheng specially manufactured, with an output of 30 vehicles per month.
Since Zhao Gao sent horses three times in a row, Lu Zhe had 14,000 horses, of which the number of trained war horses was 6,000, so of course the crossbows that could be fired in continuous should also be improved and reduced, and when the time came, it would be better to form 3,000 cavalry and equip them.
For the deployment of the entire grand strategy, Nanling City is the top priority, and only a part of the arrow tower of the two city walls has not been completed, and after the completion of the arrow tower, it is time to install defense facilities, this part of Lu Zhe will personally supervise.
When the will of the upper position is strong and has a direction, the rule must only follow the will and direction, and Lu Zhe does not believe that it will not be able to cope with the attack of the Qin army in half a year.
Of course, while preparing for the war, Lu Zhe will not let others be idle, he has already asked Zheng Hao to influence Huan Chu in Lujiang County first, and if he does not ask Huan Chu to stand in line, he will only delay so that he cannot make up his mind, and he will go to Lujiang County when Yan Bi and Wu Rui of Changsha County reach a consensus.
The Xiang family also sent people to Lujiang County, and the person who went was still Xiang Bo, the second person of the Xiang family.
Lu Zhe's deepest impression of Xiang Bo was because he received some of Liu Bang's goods and ruined Fan Zeng's big event at the Hongmen banquet. Now that Fan Zeng is dead, since he knows that Xiang Bo's weakness of greed for money will naturally take advantage of it, the policy has been decided, and Zheng Hao will implement it first, and the good show will start after Yan Bi goes. He wanted to know what kind of behavior Xiang Bo would do under the lure of a huge amount of wealth.
The next opponent will be the Qin army, and Lu Zhe's training of the army will have to be changed.
There is an obvious difference between the Qin army and the Baiyue, when the Baiyue people fight, the military formation is very rough, but the Qin army is extremely particular about the military formation.
The terrain in the south has few plains, and to be honest, there is simply not enough space to arrange military formations, which will be one of the reasons for restricting the combat strength of the Qin army.
Large military formations can't be put out, small and medium-sized military formations will become the mainstream, Lu Zhe knows that the army under his command has not been an army for a long time, and it is unrealistic to compete with the Qin army from the military formation now, so how to recover the disadvantage?
Choosing the location of the battle, mostly competing with it in the mountainous terrain, this is the best way for Lu Zhe to come up with to make up for his own shortcomings.
The garrison of Jiangling, the garrison of Hengshan County, the new army of Cangwu County, and the armies of the three places are now training in mountain warfare according to the dogma written by Lu Zhe, so it is very common to see that the mountains are full of soldiers, and they are mainly vine armor soldiers and jumping soldiers.
If there are troops for training in mountainous areas, then there must also be troops fighting on flat ground, and the heavy infantry trained by Su Lie is a type of military that Lu Zhe is looking forward to, and for this reason, the corresponding spearmen, spearmen, cavalry, and crossbowmen are specially set aside to accompany the exercise.
The Qin army's bow and arrow are world-famous, Mei Wei does not want the Qin army to be beautiful, he may know that it is difficult for foot archers or crossbowmen to compete with them, and take tricks to pounce on large car crossbows, bed crossbows, and ballistas, and the most common thing to say to Lu Zhe is that the Qin army's crossbowmen are good at shooting, so they use the advantage of defense to deploy large equipment to cover and suppress.
Lu Zhe thought that if the Qin army wanted to give full play to the advantages of the bow and arrow, it would have to deploy an arrow array, so why not make good use of the advantages that the defending side had? Using terrain to increase your range is something that a qualified general should understand.
There is a plan, there is a target, and then the Qin army has to deal with more than just Lu Zhe, you must know that the Central Plains has fallen, and there is a new Chu State in Huiji, and you really don't believe that the Qin State is desperately attacking a force that is only autonomous and not rebelling under the banner of the Qin State!
