"More than 3,000 people?" Lu Zhe subconsciously thought: "It shouldn't be to deal with me, if you want to escort me back to Xianyang, then if I don't dare to resist, it will be enough for at least a dozen people or a holy decree, and if I resist, it won't be just three thousand people." ”

It's useless to think too much, as long as people arrive, they will know what the news will be.

Lu Zhe looked at Yoshikan with an uneasy expression with a smile, and he could probably figure out Yoshikane's current mentality, which was nothing more than some fear in the midst of gains and losses.

Yi Jian was only a five hundred lord before, and he was a small middle and lower-level officer in the Qin army. If he is promoted according to the normal situation, unless he encounters a God-given opportunity, he will need to accumulate a long period of merit before he can be promoted. And now? He has only followed Lu Zhe for less than three months, and he is already a military marquis. Most of the gains and losses come from this, and people are always afraid of losing again when they get it, don't they?

In fact, there are many reasons why many people from the orthodox Qin army are willing to follow after knowing that Lu Zhe is suspected of separatism, one of which is that the Southern Expeditionary Army is not a force that the Qin State attaches importance to, and the other is that they are not as good as they should be transferred.

It is not nonsense to say that the Qin State did not attach great importance to the Southern Expeditionary Army, but they knew very well that the Southern Expeditionary Army had been in a dilemma of lack of food and soldiers during the preparation for the war. The so-called Southern Expeditionary Army is simply a southern Xinjiang refugee group, and it is not difficult to make the soldiers who have been temporarily transferred think that they have been abandoned.

Under such a state of mind, it is inevitable that the soldiers who feel that they have no future will be discouraged, and most of them do not know each other, after all, they have been temporarily transferred to the army. If you are not familiar with a series of events, you will have scruples and will not be able to form a gang, which will give Lu Zhe the opportunity to slowly cultivate his prestige and become the center of this collective.

In the Qin Army, as long as he is still alive, he has basically been promoted to officer. used to be a small soldier, but now at least he is a tun commander. It's fair to say that many people have already gotten the position they once dreamed of.

There are also some special reasons, such as the reason why Su Lie is willing to follow is because he wants to carry forward the heavy infantry, Mei Kai and Ji Bu are from Chu and have no sense of belonging to the Qin State, and so on.

The number of people under Lu Zhe's command from the orthodox Qin army is very rare, most of them are from the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, they are the ones who most want Lu Zhe to implement self-reliance, and some people led by Yan Bi have been working hard for this goal.

If there is such a thing as a minion, then Yan Bi can definitely be counted as one, and he is also one of the people who Lu Zhe has no scruples about using it. Therefore, even if he makes a mistake, Lu Zhe will deal with it with the greatest patience.

To put it bluntly, some people who Lu Zhe was unwilling to follow after the temptation have been imprisoned or killed, and it is natural that the current situation has been formed.

"Order the local garrison to stop that force in Ye County," Lu Zhe looked at Yoshikan very seriously after speaking, as if to warn: "Since you have made your choice, there is no turning back." Do you understand? ”

Yoshikane was stunned for a moment, cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead, and he thought to himself: "Yes, a choice has been made, in order to keep everything that has been obtained so far." In order to have a better future, what should we do if we suffer from gains and losses? The Lord has already sent someone to pick up the family, so there is nothing to worry about. After thinking about it, I finally stabilized my mind. The so-called wealth is in danger, and then he gave up his hand and responded loudly: "Hey! ”

Lu Zhe smiled at this time: "Let's go down and do things!" ”

Yoshikane bowed again before retreating.

Lu Zhe can imagine that there must be many people with this mentality like Yikan. In the final analysis, these soldiers from the orthodox Qin army know the Qin State too well, and the more they understand, the more empty they become. Even if he only wanted to divide the territory in a small way, he felt that if he wanted to reverse this mentality, he could only achieve a crucial victory in the war against Qin, and even if it was just a big victory, it would change their fearful mentality.

Didn't the rebels in history become confident in destroying the Qin State because of the victory in the "Battle of the Giant Deer"? Until then, any rebel army had only wanted to form a separatist. I didn't dare to think about destroying the Qin State.

"What do I want to do now? What should be prepared has been prepared, now it only depends on the attitude of the people from Xianyang! Lu Zhe thought about standing up, he stepped out of the tent and beckoned to Wei Han not far away: "Order, gather all the heavy infantry, rattan armor soldiers, and jumping soldiers in Jiangling, and then transfer 20,000 spearmen, 5,000 spearmen, and 5,000 crossbowmen to gather in Yan County and stand by." ”

Wei Han's face showed surprise when he heard this, and he thought, "Why did you suddenly gather an army?" The performance was not slow at all, and he ran quickly to give the order after answering the order.

Jiangling now has only 2,000 heavy infantry, 10,000 vine armor soldiers, and 5,000 jumping soldiers. The 20,000 spearmen, 5,000 spearmen, and 5,000 crossbowmen were distributed in the rest of the counties, so they were assembled in the direction of Yan County.

Before knowing what the purpose of the Xianyang people was, Lu Zhe would not allow them to go deep into the boundary of Nanjun, he would first find out the intention of the people in Ye County at the junction of Nanjun and Nanyang County, and then proceed to the next step.

The sound of the "woo woo woo" horn of the soldiers was ringing, and when Lu Zhe asked the winged flail and Mengsan to help them put on their armor and come out, five hundred pro-soldier warriors were already waiting in the aisle outside the tent.

When they arrived at the school grounds, they saw that there were already flags, and the soldiers were waiting quietly in a line under the constraints of the officers.

The flags are like a forest, and the armor is like rain, this kind of scene looks like it will make people's blood boil, and Lu Zhe can't help but be excited even if he sees too much. He turned over and climbed onto the war horse led by Meng San, looked at the soldiers who were all looking at him, and waved his big hand: "The direction of the march is Yan County-go!" ”

The huge "Hey! Suddenly erupted, and the order was passed on, and the soldiers broke out three times in a row, "Hey! The aftermath echoed between the heavens and the earth, but it looked like a strong soldier.

It took four hours for Jiangling to get to Yan County on horseback, but it took two full days for the infantry to walk on foot, and Lu Zhe would let Yi Jian light the wolf smoke, and use the smoke column to inform the garrison of Ye County to stop those who came from Nanyang.

Taking this opportunity, Lu Zhe was able to take a good look at the development of Nanjun during the march, and as he passed by, he could see a large number of people building wooden layouts and shelves that were about to be filled with mud. Some sections of the city wall have been poured and are waiting to solidify, and in the meantime they pass by the fort that has been built and put into use.

"At this rate, the outer wall of the new city will be completed in about two months......," Lu Zhe looked at the construction site where the air canal was being built, "There is also a need to build caissons to store water in the city, and some underground sewage systems will also be built." If this set of water alms is completed, the water system will also be very developed. ”

The walls of the new city will be eighteen meters high, and if you count the arrow towers on the city walls, the highest height will reach twenty-five meters, and such walls have been planned to build five roads!

Speaking of which may be very disobedient, Lu Zhe already has his own plans for the construction of this city, and his plan is to arrange the roads according to modern plans. Make the traffic in the city as simple and smooth as possible.

There are only two main avenues in the city, from south to north and from east to west, and the width of this kind of avenue is 10 meters. Then there are some roads that are five meters wide, and this type of road will consider the connection to the area, but also meet the needs of the city.

Then, now there is no skill in building a dozen floors high, but it is not difficult to build a three-story building at all, and then the buildings of the new city will be built in a new way to form blocks and residential areas, and this is only for the common people. There are others such as high-end residential areas, high-end commercial areas, gardens, parks, etc.

"I've found seven minerals with limestone, and I can make cement, but I don't have the time to teach anyone else right now, and I have to wait for the situation to calm down." That's right. Lu Zhe also has an ambition, that is, the construction of Xinchengchi will no longer use the current adobe walls and stone walls, but use cement as the main material, "It's just a pity." The government is not well developed, and there is no way to have the luxury of building a building out of metal......"

Lu Zhe will not allow the buildings in Xinchengchi to be too messy, and one building in the east and one in the west is nothing. It doesn't look high-end at all. At that time, the building will adopt a straight planning layout, and the corresponding greening will definitely make the whole city look beautiful and simple.

After seeing a lot of construction sites and seeing the rest of the scenery, I felt that there was another scenery, but the weeds and the woods were cut down...... It's kind of ugly.

The most important thing in the south is the forest, but what Lu Zhe saw was that a large number of trees were cut down, in fact, this is not difficult to understand, after all, there is too much wood needed for the project.

"There's no need to worry about what will be destroyed, these deforested areas can be cleared, and then an acropolis can be built here, and some troops can be stationed here." Lu Zhe is just not happy to see everything, such as some ruins left by the war some time ago, "These ruins should be mobilized to clean up after the end of the farming?" ”

When passing through the mountain village, Lu Zheyou saw the Qianshou who ran out to see the march of the army, and he paid attention to the expression of the Qianshou, and found that although they were a little nervous when they saw the army passing by, they did not show a look of fear.

Lu Zhe was observing, but the scout in front came to report, saying that it was this third elder named Shajiang Village who learned that the main general was leading the army to pass by to prepare for the labor army.

"Lao Jun?" Lu Zhe was a little surprised and a little happy in his heart, "Eat pot pulp to welcome the king?" How could a small village have enough food to supply these seventeen thousand troops. He immediately ordered: "The troops continue to move forward, and the wings and their own soldiers will go with me to meet the three elders here." ”

The head of Qiantou is willing to work for the army, so they regard the army as their own, which is a great good thing for Lu Zhe.

The three elders are really the three old men, they led the villagers to wait at the entrance of the village early, and when they saw a large group of soldiers coming, the three elders kept reminding the villagers of something in a loud voice, waiting to see Lu Zhe in armor riding on a war horse from a distance, and the three elders hurriedly reminded the villagers to make a big salute.

There are also major and small rituals, the small rituals are just the bowing of the hand as a ritual, and the big rituals are kneeling. In these years, the use of great gifts is only used to worship deceased relatives, heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, or to be tried as a criminal, or to meet high-ranking officials.

Lu Zhe saw that the villagers except for the three elders were all kneeling on the ground, he got off the war horse and went up to greet the three elders first, and then said to the villagers: "Those who have titles get up." ”

A handful of villagers stood up and changed to a small salute.

Lu Zhe looked at the dozen or so people who stood up, and said, "There are people in the family who have joined the army and got up. ”

This time, a large part of them stood up, and Lu Zhe smiled at these people, but he didn't look at the villagers who were still kneeling.

Lu Zhe did this on purpose. After all, the existence of class has its role, and he just wants to use this attitude to show that he does not treat everyone equally, and to tell them that he respects the people with titles and the military families who value the soldiers.

People have a sense of comparison, and when people who stand up look at people who are still kneeling, their faces will inevitably be proud or proud. And those who kneel will subconsciously feel ashamed or inferior when they see the expressions of those who are standing.

When Lu Zhe was talking to the three elders, he would glance at the people who were still kneeling on the ground from time to time, and he was happy to see their expressions waiting for him to call them up.

The superior should have the majesty of the superior, and he should be kind when he should be kind, but it still depends on the object. It's not a modern society, and we don't want everyone to be equal, but to be kind to everyone. It is said that it is self-defeating and secondary, so that people lose their fear and how to rule everything.

The so-called grace and power, everything still needs to have a degree, Lu Zhe may not be able to grasp that degree now, but he fully knows how to behave in line with the posture of the superior.

The people who were still kneeling on the ground, they waited for a while and didn't hear the let, and when they felt embarrassed, they kept thinking in their hearts that people who had men of school age in the family had already thought that they must send people to the army even if they were just fighting for a breath.

Lu Zhe just ate a little bit of the food prepared by the three elders according to the current folk customs. It wasn't a delicacy, it was a very ordinary meal. Talk to the three elders while eating, ask about the situation in the village, and so on. He didn't stay in the village long, and only when he was about to leave did he get up those who had been kneeling for a while. Bow goodbye to the three elders before continuing on the road.

There are a lot of villages along the way, and I don't know if Lu Dao is coping with it or out of sincerity, each village will very warmly invite Lu Zhe to eat something, even if it is a little delayed. However, in order to win the hearts of the people, Lu Zhe also walked all the way and ate all the way.

"The people's hearts are attached, ah......" the winged flail whispered.

Lu Zhe smiled when he heard this: "If we can't make them belong after doing so much, then we still do what we should do." ”

Wing Flail didn't answer, and as Lu Zhe's personal general, he came into contact with more people and things. While understanding the current situation in the south, he was in favor of Lu Zhe's behavior of managing his own power.

Those newly occupied territories are about to be chaotic, and Xianyang doesn't know what to do with Lu Dao and sit back and watch the turmoil in various places, and it is a fool not to manage the power at this time.

The wing flail didn't know what the division of the heroes was, he only knew that the southern part of the road had been divided into pieces by many armed forces, and he could only survive in this situation. Whether it is secession, accumulating strength and waiting for meritorious service, everything needs to rely on strength to speak.

During the march, Lu Zhe kept receiving reports from the front, Xianyang people arrived in Ye County and were left behind by the local garrison, Lu Zhe wondered how these more than 3,000 people could carry more than 5,000 horses, and it seemed that it was only the first batch, and there were large groups of men and horses escorting a large number of military supplies.

Military supplies do not refer to food, but some weapons such as spears, spears, bows, crossbows, arrows, etc., and there are nearly 3,000 carts of information from the front.

The chief official from Xianyang was a person named Zhao Heng, who rushed to Ye County first and had a little temptation, and reported to Lu Zhe that Zhao Heng was Zhao Gao's clansman, and he was very cooperative in words and even in behavior, which also made Lu Zhe feel confused.

Lu Zhe was a little unsure whether the arrival of this group of people was from Zhao Gao's handiwork or the assignment of the Xianyang Center.

At noon on the second day after setting out from Jiangling, the 17,000-strong army arrived at Yan County, and at this time, the assembled troops from all directions had not yet fully arrived, so LΓΌ Zhe decided to wait for the follow-up troops to arrive before setting off.

Yan County, less than fifteen miles from Yi County, is the second county in the north of Nan County, and can also be regarded as the second gateway, Lu Zhe vaguely remembers that this county is an area where limestone is produced in large quantities, and there is also a small gold and coal mine during this period.

Both Ye and Yan counties are close to the Han River, and this water system leads directly to Nanyang County and Hengshan County, which is very high in terms of strategic value, and Lu Zhe has deployed a lot of scattered troops along the Han River, which is used to increase the vigilance of the two places.

After a delay of more than a day in Yan County, waiting for all the follow-up troops to arrive, Lu Zhe did not leave time for the new troops to rest and recuperate, and directly issued the order to march to Ye County.

In the afternoon of the same day, an army of 47,000 people appeared in the county and startled the unsuspecting people when the sudden change occurred.

Zhao Heng didn't know in advance that there would be a large army in Lu Dao, but he was still informed that Lu Zhe had arrived three miles out of the city to greet him, only to see the army all over the sky approaching Ye County.

To be honest, Zhao Heng was really taken aback at that moment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses when the righteous man next to him told him that it was the army of Nanjun.

"This, this...... How can there be so many troops in Nanjun......" Zhao Heng's surprise and shock in his heart was justified, he had a special understanding of the situation in Nanjun before he set off, and what he knew was that there were only 10,000 Qin troops in Nanjun, and he guessed in his heart that after the great turmoil, even if even the county soldiers could be put together, it would be considered the top of the sky, but he didn't expect such a huge number of troops to appear.

Getting closer, getting closer and closer, Zhao Heng was still thinking to himself, "Even if the number is huge, it should be incomplete and made up of numbers", but when he saw that the approaching troops were not only unified in battle robes but also had many soldiers in armor, he couldn't believe what he saw at all, and opened his mouth wide and couldn't help but exclaim: "This ...... How many such troops were there under Lu Shizhe? ”

Yi Jian smiled and said nothing, he saw Zhao Heng dumbfounded and shocked, and the pride and pride in his heart were born slowly. (To be continued......)
