Chapter 271: Qin People? Chu people?
Along the way, Ji Bu never lowered his vigilance, his caution seems to be timid, but as a general leading the army, if this cautious mentality can be maintained permanently, although he may not be able to become a famous general, it is probably impossible to suffer an inexplicable defeat.
A general does not need to judge the situation, do not need to be brave and abnormal, and does not need to be full of scheming, what is needed is to be cautious. Of course, such a general will be stable, but it is estimated that there is no hope of becoming a famous general. However, there are thousands of warriors in the world, how many dynasties and how many famous generals?
When the fleet reached the north shore about fifteen miles from Yugan, Jibu again ordered the fleet to stop, and after making sure that there was no large army within ten miles, he asked the soldiers who had been on the boat for four days to prepare to be sent ashore in small boats in batches.
Qin Jia, who followed the fleet, was depressed when he saw that Lu Zhejun stopped to land here, there is no ferry here, and the 50,000 army has to rely on more than 200 boats to send them ashore, a small boat can carry ten people at a time, and only 50,000 people can be sent ashore in this monkey year?
"General Jibu, there is a ferry port on the north shore about thirty miles from here, why don't you let the fleet travel thirty miles before going ashore?" Qin Jia found Ji Bu so built.
"Oh? Thirty miles ......" Ji Bu found a map, and after spreading out the parchment map, he asked Qin Jia to point out the location of the ferry.
Qin Jia's pupils couldn't help but shrink when he saw the map of Lujiang County, he was a general and knew the importance of the map of mountains and rivers very well, and Lu Zhejun actually had a topographic map of Lujiang County, and it seemed to be drawn in great detail, he was vigilant and quickly relaxed.
If it is hostile or has not yet decided to annex, Qin Jia will definitely jump up and point at Ji Bu when he sees the map of the mountains and rivers of Lujiang County, after all, the topographic map is a strategic treasure, and different camps have the map of the other side, doesn't that mean that they have already had the intention of annexing it? But they were all about to be attached, and as soon as the vigilance in Qin Jia's heart rose, he immediately relaxed, and pointed to the southeast of Boyangze: "There is a township here. There are many fishermen in this township, and there are many ferries on the shore. During the Chu period, there were also naval troops stationed in that area, so a ferry port was built, and the water depth there could be about 500 boats. ”
Thirty miles, if the wind is down, it is estimated that it will be half a day, Ji Bu took a serious look at the terrain, from there it will take about ten miles more land to reach Fanyang?
Qin Jia saw that Ji Bu hesitated and did not make a decision, and replied: "Relying on the small boat to send the soldiers ashore, it will take at least one day for the 50,000 army to send all the people ashore. Furthermore. I don't think this army is a water army, isn't the general afraid of accidents? ”
"Accident?" Ji Bu looked at Qin Jia with some puzzlement.
Qin Jia was blunt: "I'm not familiar with water, the soldiers need to use the big net hooked up on the side of the boat to climb down the boat, they will shake when they board the boat, there must be accidents such as falling into the water, right?" ”
Ji Bu's face changed when he heard this, there were indeed many people who accidentally fell into the water when adjusting the formation of the fleet that time, but fortunately those were soldiers who knew how to swim, and there was no drowning that caused some chaos. It seems that less than 30 percent of the 50,000 people in the army can swim, and the rest are landlubbers. It is indeed inappropriate to send them ashore in small boats one by one.
"This ......" Ji Bu and Qin Jia got along for three days, and saluted Qin Jia sincerely for the first time: "Thank you General Qin for reminding me, otherwise Bu Ke will make a big mistake." ”
Qin Jia took a half-salute sideways, seeing that Ji Bu was not brainless. also accepted the correct opinion, although he did not change the impression in his heart that Ji Bu was as timid as a mouse, but his senses were finally better.
In this way, the fleet continued to sail down the river. After such a thing, Ji Bu and Qin Jia were willing to talk more.
Qin Jia was very curious about whether Lu Zhejun had really defeated the 150,000 Qin army, and talked about this topic while chatting.
"Qin Jun?" Jibu's expression was a little strange, with some tangles in his pride. wanted to laugh and be reserved, and held back for a long time before answering: "It was the defeat of the Qin army, and the three battles successively caused about 40,000 casualties to the Qin army." ”
"Oh!?" Qin Jia didn't think that Ji Bu would lie, after all, the war would definitely be exposed to the world, wouldn't it be a shame for Ji Bu to be exposed after lying now? He hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about your casualties?" ”
"Miserable! In more than ten days of fighting, our side has suffered nearly 50,000 casualties," Ji Bu thought of Zhou Wen's forward, "There was a reinforcement army that rushed to support first, 13,000 people fought with 10,000 Qin troops in the woods, and fought for nearly two hours, leaving only more than 100 people to flee back. ”
"Annihilation!?" Qin Jia had also served in the Qin army, and his official position was only returned to his hometown after the military service period expired, so he knew the combat strength of the Qin army, and he was not surprised that Lu Zhe's army of 13,000 against 10,000 Qin troops fled back to more than 100 people, and to his surprise, although the 13,000 Lu Zhejun army was wiped out, it could cause 7,000 casualties to the Qin army.
Ji Bu was not curious to hear that Qin Jia had been a tun commander in the Qin army, after Qin ruled the world, he had recruited young men from various countries to enlist in the army, most of them were as local county soldiers, and a small number were sent to the northern counties and garrisons, he asked: "Where did General Qin serve?" ”
"The Great Wall...... It is the section of the Great Wall of the late Zhao. Qin Jia seemed to be recalling something, "There were sixty-four people who went with the same villagers at the beginning, and they separated after they arrived in Daijun. I was on the front line of Gaoyanagi, and I often needed to defend against the Hu people who went south to fight in the grass valley. More than 1,000 of our 3,000 garrisons in Gaoliu came from all over the Six Kingdoms, and they fought dozens of battles with the Hu people, or after the Qin State unified the Central Plains, they strengthened the troops on the border. When I waited for the reinforcements from behind, there were only more than 1,400 people who had survived dozens of battles, and I was one of them. ”
Ji Bu listened attentively, although he was also called up for military service, but he has always existed as a county soldier, every day just to take care of the city gates, occasionally help the county lieutenant in the county, and capture some criminals, speaking of which there is no chance to fight at all.
With the establishment of the Southern Xinjiang Legion, Ji Bu didn't know whether he was lucky or unfortunate to be transferred from the sequence of county soldiers to the Southern Xinjiang Legion, but the Southern Xinjiang Army had not yet killed Lingnan but ended up in the riot, and then followed Lu Zhe all the way to defeat Baiyue and occupy Nanjun, to be honest, the experience was not outstanding, and even becoming one of the commanders he could guess that it was not how great he was, but that Lu Zhe didn't know why he was interested.
It is true that it is an extremely lucky thing to be favored by the superiors, but Ji Bu knew that he was lost during that time, and he became arrogant and arrogant, and he still had that stupid mentality of not knowing what to do, and as a result, he was hit on the head in a small Wuling Mountain, and he was full of bags and fell to the ground.
Ji Bu knew that he was lucky, and Lu Zhe had an indescribable high hope for him, and he was given another chance to finally return to his original position. After a setback, his previous pride mentality has long been gone, and he used to be a kind of obedience to Lu Zhe as a subordinate to his superiors, and after experiencing so many things, he asked himself, why can't he notice Lu Zhe's preferential treatment and high hopes? Therefore, he no longer takes his promotion for granted, and he knows how to be grateful and at the same time knows what it means to be careful.
Qin Jia's experience is more colorful, speaking of his ancestors are Qin, he moved to Jiujiang during the war against Yan, and later migrated to Lujiang County. When the south was in turmoil, he had only returned to his hometown not long ago, according to him, it was chaos everywhere at that time, and people were being killed everywhere, so the three elders in the township organized the young and strong to protect themselves, and he was not the only one who had served as a soldier among the young and strong, but he was the only one who served as a tun commander in the Qin army.
It's funny to say, although the people in the township hate the Qin State, they still think that the Qin army is the strongest army in the world, and some people in the township have served as a hundred commanders in the Chu army, but the three elders and the villagers chose Qin Jia, who had served as a tun commander in the Qin army, to become the leader of the self-protection township soldiers.
Starting from more than 300 young people in a township, he first protected himself against outsiders, and then expanded step by step, and when Qin Jia came back to his senses, he was already the general leader of the four townships, and there were nearly 2,000 people under his command. They tried to beat the county seat, but they were really beaten down, and within three months, Qin Jia's command swelled to more than 20,000 people, and they even received two good subordinates, Yu Fanjun and Zhu Jishi.
The latter thing is worse, Qin Jia's expansion seems to be very fast, but the development is actually very slow for Huan Chu, Zhou Wen and others who also raised troops in Lujiang County, and the result is not too much to say, Qin Jia's expansion bumped into Huan Chu, and after the defeat, Qin Jia, who did not have much ambition, got a promise that he would guarantee not to invade the township, and he took his subordinates to start fighting for Huan Chu.
"To be honest, I can't figure out whether I'm a Qin or a Chu now." A relatively long story, Qin Jia saw that Ji Bu seemed to have a high status in Lu Zhejun, and the two sighed so emotionally after they had the desire to talk.
"Qin people? Chu people? Ji Bu was also a little confused, he himself was a Chu person, and the Lu Zhe he worked for was a Qin person, but the Chu people were not necessarily good, and the Qin people were not necessarily brutal, at least the Qin people in his eyes were not brutal, but they attached great importance to the laws and rules.
"Yes, Qin people, Chu people." Qin Jia repeated again.
Ji Bu got rid of the confusion in his heart, he called him the Qin people and the Chu people, the world has been unified, and Lu Zhe repeatedly said to several henchmen that there are no Qin people, Chu people, and even Zhao people, Yan people, Qi people, Wei people, and Han people, in fact, everyone is Chinese.
"Is there a difference? In the eyes of those barbarians such as the Nanban and the Hu people, we are all Chinese," Ji Bu smiled freely, "So, what does it matter if you can meet a lord who values himself, who is not self-fattening, who is sympathetic to his subordinates, and who is willing to lead his subordinates to live a good life, as long as it is not a foreign race, whether it is a Qin or a Chu person." ”
Qin Jia was stunned when he heard it, he felt that such remarks were very fresh, and they sounded like that. (To be continued......)
