When the troops are mobilized in various places, there must be at least twice as many Lu Zhe's troops as there are positions in each position, and the Qin army obviously found this anomaly, but all the officers above the rank of captain are not there, and it is difficult for officers at the rank of military marquis to react even if they perceive the crisis for a while.

I don't know when a rumor came into the barracks, saying that Lu Zhe was going to kill them all, and the rumor in the camp began to become impetuous.

There were no high-ranking officers in the army, and it was destined that no one with sufficient prestige would come forward to refute the rumors, and the spirit of the soldiers became nervous, and all kinds of unnecessary clashes occurred frequently in the battalion.

The military marquis tried his best to suppress all kinds of large and small conflicts, but the feelings of the soldiers became more and more irritable. Under such a situation, the marquis in the army discussed it, decided to take the necessary precautions, and jointly issued a military order to the army to prepare for war.

There was only half a month's worth of grain in the Qin military camp, and some damaged ordnance had not been repaired, so to be honest, it really made no difference whether or not they had entered a state of readiness. However, the rumors are spreading well, even if it is useless to prepare for war, you can't sit still, right?

"It's been three days, and none of the officials have returned."

"What happened after the lieutenants and generals left?"

"Whatever happens, it's not going to be a good thing for us."

On the third day, a number of people appeared in the camp of each Qin army, ranging in number from fifty to eighty.

The marquis of the Qin army cautiously received the people of Lu Zhejun who entered the camp, and there was no speculation in his heart whether he was going to give an order to disarm. As soon as they hear the words of surrendering their weapons, they will not hesitate and immediately call for a fierce fight.

Those who entered the Qin army camp did not concentrate the Qin army at all, and after they entered the camp, they began to post notices, and turned around and left immediately.

In this era, the order to hesitate to "write the same text" had just been issued, and the writing was not uniform everywhere. And obviously. It is impossible for people on Lu Zhen's side to write the words of the nations to post in the Qin military camp, and the notices are clearly written in "Qin characters".

"There are Zhao people and Chu people spreading rumors?"

"The name, nationality, etc. are clearly written, not like they are making things up."

"The Zhao people spread rumors in the hope that we would riot, let Lü Hou kill each other with us, and force Lü Hou to lead an army to attack Qin. The rumors spread by the Chu people naturally want us to kill each other, and no matter who wins, Nanjun and other places will inevitably fall into chaos. ”

"yes, can you not mess up? After the chaos, the state of Chu will be able to attack Lujiang and other places again, and the state will be able to be preserved. ”

"It's so vicious, it's like this."

No order was given to disarm. It only made clear the source of the rumors, and at the same time listed the purpose of the Zhao and Chu people in spreading rumors.

The notice was posted, and the fact that no disarming order was issued, the Qin army immediately believed it.

On the fourth day, someone came to the Qin camp again, and this time they put up a notice again, writing about the military pay and the distribution of acres of land.

What is the military salary, what kind of people can get how much, the organization could not be clearer. Soldiers receive one and a half taels per month. There are three Wu chiefs per month, five Shi Chang, ten Tun Chang, and thirty hundred generals. 100 for 500 lords, 200 for military marquis, 500 for captains, and 800 for generals. Partial will be a thousand.

What can you buy for a tael and a half now? It was about three horses of burlap, and coarse grain could buy five stones. Ordinary soldiers can get twelve and a half taels a year, which is enough to support the family, to be honest.

"This is still not a wartime payment. Every month you go to war, you can increase the basic military salary by another 30%. ”

"That's what it's called 'wartime allowance.'"

"However, the seizure needs to be handed over, and a 30% rebate will be obtained on the basis of the surrender."

"You can get a monthly salary, and there is an increase in wartime, and it is normal to hand over the spoils of war, after all, war is not all the time. It's unimaginable that you can still get something without fighting! ”

It was shaken, and the matter of military pay began to go viral, and the camp next to the Qin army also erupted in cheers.

Lu Zhe set the military salary system to inform the whole army, whether it is a non-commissioned officer or an officer, they can see how much benefit they can get as a soldier once this system is implemented, how can they not be happy?

In addition to the fixed monthly salary, the notice also clearly lists what kind of merit can be obtained for the establishment of how many acres of land, and the way of recording the merits of the acres is no different from that of the Qin army, the soldiers rely on the first rank in exchange, and the officers look at the performance in battle.

"The previous title of Marquis Lu also admits that I can get twelve acres of land in the south!"

"I'm five acres."

"I'm twenty acres."

The soldiers were pleasantly surprised, but the officers were ecstatic, after all, it was definitely not a low rank to be an officer.

"This ...... I can choose 500 acres of land at will in the five counties, and I can also get a mansion in Nanling City. "One of the military marquis felt a little confused after finishing the calculation.

"The military marquis is basically that treatment, five hundred lords can get one hundred and fifty acres to two hundred acres, but the mansion needs to be built at their own expense." Another marquis also spoke.

In fact, they can all understand one thing, it must be that something big happened after the generals left, and the latter treatment was a certain measure taken by Lu Zhe to remedy it. But guessing and guessing, there will still be apprehensions, but who will refuse to get the benefits?

After the two measures, there was no order to disarm, and the Qin army's military morale began to settle down, and no one cared about any rumors, and the most they talked about was about military salaries and acres.

On the fifteenth day, the day when the various battalions were replenished with grain, the baggage troops began to deliver grain to all the barracks, including the Qin army.

The military rations were replenished, and not only did the soldiers no longer take the rumors seriously, but even the officers who were originally a little apprehensive were completely calmed down because of the arrival of the grain.

On the second day after receiving the grain, a group of men and horses came to the Qin camp, and they gave the order for the armies to continue to advance. The destination has changed, not to the south, but to Nanling.

In Hengshan County, Lujiang County, and Jiujiang County, while the Qin army in various places was moving, in addition to the 3,000 to 5,000 troops who went to Nanling together, most of the garrisons that were originally monitoring the Qin army were also back to their respective stations.

"We have not been disarmed, and there are only a few thousand Southern troops around."

"It once again proves that Lu Hou has no intention of killing us at all, and it also shows that the Zhao and Chu people who spread rumors are simply bad."

"You can't say that, if there is no Zhao and Chu people making trouble, it is estimated that there will be no military salaries and distribution of acres."

"Wrong, wrong. Regarding military salaries and acres of land, Lu Hou was already planning half a year ago, and these are things that everyone over there knows. ”

"True or false, Lu Hou was already planning half a year ago, didn't this crisis happen?"

Lu Zhe was indeed planning half a year ago, but Zhe was not something that the military marquis level could know, and the military marquis would tell the officers of the Qin army that it was just another arrangement made by Lu Zhe to appease the Qin army.

It was almost half a month, the Qin army from all over the country arrived outside the city of Nanling, and the first thing they saw after they came to Nanling was the city wall as high as seven zhang, and the first reaction of everyone who saw such a majestic city wall was absolutely admiration.

"It's so tall, taller than any wall I've ever seen."

"Not only is it high, but if you look at the angular sections of the city wall, and then look at the fortifications on the city wall, the second wall is also two feet higher than the first."

"Hmm! Truly. The walls are angular and allow defending crossbowmen to have more angles to fire. The second wall is higher than the first, and even if the first wall is lost, the enemy troops attacking it will face the all-round fire of the long-range attack force of the second wall. ”

"Just kidding! Qizhang, a city wall higher than the Xianyang city wall, who can attack it without huge siege equipment. Furthermore, look at the hooks on the walls of the city wall, not to mention the people, the siege equipment will definitely be crushed as soon as it gets close, and there are no fortifications other than the hooks that we have not seen. ”

"The moat in front of the city wall is so wide, not to mention filling in the earth, if you want to build ladders or planks, how many people will die under the arrows of the crossbowmen on the city wall?"

"Pay attention to the wall, from the third zhang to the top, do you see those round holes?"

"Bayone? It's not like that. There doesn't have to be so many drainage holes. ”

"Don't know, do you? I heard from the people over there that those round holes were some chutes, some polished round stones were lowered from the city wall, and after what kinetic energy sliding to increase the speed, they could be smashed down for thirty steps, and when they were hit, absolutely all bones were broken. ”

The Qin army pointed at the walls of Nanling City, and Lu Zhe and many other people on the city tower were also looking down.

To the east of Nanling City, in addition to the camp of 100,000 Qin troops, 300,000 Lu Zhe's army was also stationed in this direction. Looking from the heights, the camp set up by as many as 400,000 troops covers an astonishing area, stretching for dozens of miles, and there is no end in sight from the heights.

There were many people who accompanied Lu Zhe to the city tower, in addition to the generals of Gongwei, Su Lie, Ji Bu and so on, the generals of the Qin department were also all here.

Lu Zhe turned to look at his descendant general: "Looking at such a picture, it really touches me a lot. Thinking that when I first came to the south, I was only waiting for the military marquis, five hundred lords, and one of the three or five thousand men under my command already felt majestic, and now there was no end in sight to the camp below, and the soldiers were like stars in the sky. ”

Ji Bu smiled "hehe" and accosted: "The lord holds the five counties and has become the overlord of the south, and we have also developed." ”

"Not enough." Lu Zhe said sonorously: "After the reorganization, we will lay down more territory, the five counties are far from enough, and even the southern overlord can't tolerate us." ”

The generals and colonels of the Qin department, and those who knew each other well, glanced at each other.

Of the more than 20 generals, 17 have already expressed their submission, and the rest of the people such as Shiruma did not beg for death like martyrs, but only said that they needed to be considered.

The generals who expressed their submission, Lu Zhe had already sent someone to their hometown to pick up people, and if he was to go as far as two months, he would be able to bring their families to Nanjun within two months. (To be continued......)
