Chapter Seventy-Nine: Doubts

Thank you for the reward again, and thank you for the evaluation votes of the cat who doesn't want to fly (how many stars did you vote?) )

………………………………………………

Later generations always have different opinions on the demise of Great Qin, some believe that the laws of Qin are strict, some think that it is in the hands of some traitors, and some people absurdly think that it is the will of heaven.

From 209 BC, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's rebellion began, to 207 BC before the Battle of Julu, the Qin army relied on county soldiers to fight the rebels for two years.

When the rebels once attacked near Hangu Pass, almost close to Xianyang, Daqin relied on the army reorganized by the Lishan prisoners, and the candidate for the commander of the army turned out to be Zhang Han, who was the Shaofu at the time.

What did the Shaofu in the Qin period do? It is just an official position in charge of the emperor's private property and taking care of the emperor's daily life.

Well, how ridiculous it must be that a man in charge of the emperor's private life and property should be the commander of an improvised patchwork army. I have to wonder where all the generals of Great Qin who can fight well have gone.

At the same time, at this time, Daqin still had two elite corps in the frontier of one north and one south. There are still 300,000 troops in the Great Wall fortress in the north, and more than 500,000 troops in the south. They don't know if they didn't receive an order, or if there was some other reason, they didn't react in the smoke of the empire.

And things are so incredible, since the first rebellion, the seemingly powerful Qiang Qin has lost the territory of the original Six Kingdoms that he has worked so hard to conquer within two years. The county soldiers in various places were also broken in their own battles, and it seems that only the convict corps led by Zhang Han was the entire Great Qin resisting the rebels.

Later, the Great Wall Army did make some moves, but only 100,000 of the 300,000 corps were transferred into the country, and this army was united with Zhang Han's convict corps under the leadership of Wang Li, and the result was just a bubble and the whole army was wiped out in the Battle of Julu.

Oh, my God! The Great Wall Army that can fight with the barbarian Huns, the elite army that can defeat the Huns, 100,000 people are just a little bubbling and gone?

What is the reason for such an absurd situation, the once invincible Qin army has been defeated again and again, and does anyone think that the Qin State really led to the destruction of the country because of the strict laws?

The argument that the strictness of the law was the main reason for the death of Qin II is simply untenable, and the laws of Qin have existed for 135 years from 356 BC, when Shang changed the law, to 221 BC, when Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms. If it was the relationship of the law that caused the Qin State to perish, then it should have been destroyed a long time ago, right?

Since 891 B.C., the Western Zhou Dynasty Xiao King Feng Yingfeizi founded the Qin State in Qinyi to the Ying Zheng generation, which has been in charge of the country for more than 600 years, a country that has existed for more than 600 years, has almost no army to resist after the Battle of Julu, and even the people of the Qin State themselves have allowed the enemy army to enter the territory with a disregard attitude, and then accept the fate of destroying the country without any large-scale resistance, which has to be said to be really incomprehensible.

The demise of the Qin State occurred under the condition that the Qin people themselves ignored it, and the battles and conquests of many nobles of the original Six Kingdoms were actually outside the Hangu Pass, that is to say, the homeland of the original Six Kingdoms, and there were almost no wars that really took place in the original territory of the Qin State.

Historical records of the two corps of the Great Qin did not go all out to return to the army, especially the reason why the Southern Xinjiang Army did not even return to the country with a single soldier and a single soldier, only a few words of description, and later in the early Han Dynasty, it was recorded that the Southern Xinjiang Army founded the country itself. And the Great Wall Corps, which was stationed on the frontier and did not return to the division, and the remnants of the 200,000 troops disappeared.

It seems that no one can guarantee whether the content of the document is accurate or not, and there is absolutely no guarantee that the affairs in the record are true. To say that history is written by the victors is simply unreliable.

I don't know what I'm thinking Lu Zhe looked straight at the wine cup on the long table he didn t notice when Zhao Gao left, and when he woke up from his sluggish state or a civil official next to him was greeting.

"Huh?" Lu Zhe gave up his hand apologetically: "I'm sorry, I lost my mind just now, can you repeat it again?" ”

The civil official, who looked very young and seemed to be a good-natured person, repeatedly introduced himself: "My name is Zhao Tuo, what about you?" ”

Lu Zhe had already paid attention to the young civil official, and he guessed that the person named Zhao Tuo was estimated to be only in his twenties, and the two of them were the youngest in the crowd attending the banquet, and it was estimated that Zhao Tuo would come over to talk to him. He felt that Zhao Tuo could be invited to a banquet by Zhao Gao at this age, even if his official position was not high now, there must be something extraordinary.

Mutual acquaintance is considered a formal acquaintance, and after this conversation, Lu Zhe realized that Zhao Tuo is only twenty-one years old today, and he is not a traditional old Qin person in Zhending. As for whether he has a clan relationship with Zhao Gao, Lu Zhe naturally won't ask about this kind of thing.

Talking a little deeper, Lu Zhe finally heard some reasons from Zhao Tuo's mouth, it turned out that Zhao Tuo had just been transferred back to Xianyang from Chudi, and he was originally a county magistrate in Chudi, and he became the supreme magistrate of a county at a young age, and naturally there would be no shortage of Zhao Gao's promotion.

"The meaning of the government decree seems to want us to go to southern Xinjiang?" Zhao Tuo looked at it with an inquiring gaze and asked, "I think it's a good choice to go to southern Xinjiang." What do you think? ”

Lu Zhe is actually also entangled, he has belonged to the sequence of the Northern Xinjiang Army since he joined the Qin Army, and in the few historical memories of the Qin Dynasty in his mind, the Northern Frontier sequence should be the Great Wall Army in the future, so that means that he has been a commander of the Great Wall Army since he joined the Qin Army?

It stands to reason that after being promoted to the post of military marquis, the records in the National Lieutenant's Office should also belong to the roster of Northern Xinjiang, but the answer he asked several times was to be determined, and he didn't know what kind of reputation Lu Dao was doing.

"I ...... too"

Halfway through the words, the elder of the Zhao Mansion said that Zhao Gao was summoning, and Lu Zhe and Zhao Tuo were temporarily separated.

On the way there, Lu Zhe met many five hundred lords who had returned to the front yard. Since the route was the same, he guessed that these officers should have been explained by Zhao Gao, and the posture of these five hundred lords when they saw him was a little too respectful, which was really incomprehensible.

After turning around and coming to a deep courtyard, Lu Zhe happened to meet another military marquis when he walked into a side door.

This military marquis seemed to pause when he saw Lu Zhe, and there seemed to be an inexplicable hostility in his eyes, and this person snorted coldly when the two of them staggered.

Lu Zhe caught the hostility of the military marquis who didn't know the name of the road, and he was very sure that the two were meeting for the first time, and he didn't understand why this military marquis was unhappy with him.

The mutual gaze between the two was interrupted by the elder of the Zhao family, Lu Zhe seriously remembered the face of the military marquis who was hostile to him, and before he could get used to the dim light when he walked into the house, Zhao Gao's soft words came from his ears......

"The national lieutenant hopes that you will follow you to southern Xinjiang."
