Chapter 717: Mo Nan (3)
Zhong Liyi's song stayed in the camp for one night, and then resumed in the early hours of the next morning.
That is, after they had pulled out, a friendly army rushed on the way, and not long after they had gone on the front foot, they blew the trumpet to distinguish friend from foe.
Hearing the sound of the horn behind him, and after a while, there was a response of "woo-woo-woo-woo-", Han Xin leaned his body slightly and said to Zhong Liyi, "Don't you need to wait for the afternoon to come over?" How did it advance to the early hours of the morning, nearly three hours in advance. β
Zhong Liyi: "Hmm? With a sound, he rode his horse to the side and withdrew, so that Han Xin also rode his horse to follow.
After a pause, Zhong Liyi, who had been quiet for a while, suddenly said: "Eliminate the manpower to go back and have a look, and order the comrades to march slowly." β
Zhong Liyi's meaning is obvious, he needs to do things quietly, so he can't blow the horn, and can only rely on people to make notices.
Isn't it because a troop came behind him? They heard the horn band to identify friend and foe, but it doesn't mean that the one who came will really be a friendly army, the horn signal is not very secretive, if the Hu people are ambushed and listen to it once or twice, it is extremely simple to find out the signal.
Stopping where I was and looking east, I could see a bright light in the distance, and if I had good enough eyesight, I could see that there should be three or four thousand people entering the camp in a long line under the guidance of the camp garrison.
The people sent by Zhong Liyi came back to tell them that the group of people who came were indeed friendly troops, and after listening to the report, they finally gave the order to continue the fight.
In fact, they don't have to do anything else? If it is absolutely wrong to understand that the army is a collective, and if something is wrong, it is very likely that friendly forces will be in danger and indifferent, and it would be strange if everyone had such a thought, and the army would not be a scattered mess.
Restart the march. Han Xin deliberately drew closer to Zhong Liyi, and he wanted to express his judgment very early: "The friendly army is coming early, if I am not mistaken, there will be a herald to catch up with us and issue a new military order." β
Zhong Liyi asked very cooperatively, "Why do you say that?" β
"The army is a whole, and after a military order is issued, it will not be changed unless it is related to the overall situation. The friendly forces behind us were supposed to arrive in the afternoon, but the change occurred three hours earlier, and it must have been due to a change in the tide of battle. Han Xin glanced back and raised his finger: "I'll just say it, sure enough, a herald has caught up." β
The herald brought Shen Tujia's new order. Let Zhong Liyi's song from now on not have to stay unless it is an enemy, and be sure to arrive at the next camp in the shortest possible time and wait for the round in that camp.
As Han Xin guessed, the whole battle situation did change, the troops sent south by the Fertile Garrison to explore encountered the Hu troops at the source of the Yellow River, and the two sides fought a great battle in the plains about 200 miles south of the Fertile Field, and finally ended temporarily with the Hu people losing the retreat of the Han army.
The Hu were engaged in battle with Wang Ben's cavalry, which had just been reorganized from the Qin army and had just been replaced with equipment belonging to the Han army, and had been paid since joining the Han army. and clearly knew that meritorious service would be rewarded, and the enthusiasm they burst out was simply like two people.
Why is it described like that? That's because before the Han State was absorbed, they faced too many setbacks, and they couldn't get the rewards they deserved for their meritorious service. The morale of the military will naturally fall into a trough.
It is an indisputable fact that the Qin State has been going downhill in recent years, and the logistics of the central army are also intermittent, or there is no logistical guarantee at all. Before the completion of the domination of the world, the sacredness of the merit reward set by the Shang monarch was strictly enforced. However, after completing the support of dominating the world, a considerable number of people who have not made an inch of merit have been made marquis without the slightest reason, and those who have truly made meritorious service should be promoted to knighthood are ignored.
There are more excesses. There is no saying for the military merit field that should be obtained for meritorious service, and the military merit field obtained by the soldiers who worked the battlefield was taken back by the state and rewarded to some inexplicable nobles, and even more so, some people who had obviously completed military service or conscription were repeatedly recruited in disregard of the law.
The reward was not obtained, the original reward was deprived, and the law of military service and conscription also changed repeatedly, to be honest, there were no large-scale riots and rebellions in the Qin State itself, and it was already supported by the blessings left by the Zhao family for seven or eight hundred years, and they could not hope for more.
What about the other side? However, the Han State was rising rapidly, and a considerable number of soldiers who were originally Qin soldiers were incorporated by the Han State, and the Qin soldiers who were incorporated by the Han State not only had military salaries, but also received land awards, financial silks, and knighthood treatment for meritorious service. Looking at Sima Xin and many of the original Qin army soldiers in the Han Kingdom, and then comparing the situation on the Qin army's side, Lu Shizhe is still a Qin person after all, and he really has nothing to say about treating people who are also Qin people.
There is really nothing ridiculous about the Qin army to serve the new object immediately after changing the court, no matter who enters the Guanzhong in the original history, they will get the allegiance from the Qin people, and they don't look at it at all if it is the enemy of the times or what, the most exaggerated thing is that Xiang Yu entered the Guanzhong after killing 200,000 Qin soldiers, and those Qin people who knew that there were 200,000 Qin soldiers who were killed by the pit did not obey Xiang Yu's rule without any psychological barriers, and in the end, Xiang Yu did not want to stay in Guanzhong and returned to Pengcheng in the south, Before leaving, a few fires were set on fire, almost leveling several important areas in Guanzhong.
Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Peng, the three people who surrendered to Xiang Yu before and after, were named princes and kings, dividing the Qin land into three, and the Qin people once again ignored that it was precisely because of their surrender that 200,000 Qin soldiers were killed, and they also forgot that it was their surrender that Xiang Yu entered Guanzhong and became an arsonist, and accepted the reality that they became princes and kings without any resistance.
Later, more dramatic things were staged again, Liu Bang, the king of Hanzhong, secretly went east after Chen Cang, Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Peng called on the Qin people to resist, but the Qin people once again watched Liu Bang's army enter the Qin land with indifferent eyes, until Liu Bang completely occupied Guanzhong and Xiang Yu in the south entered the era of Chu and Han contention.
To put it bluntly, the Qin people don't know what happened, and it seems that they have collectively become disheartened, but this version is because Lu Zhe reused the Qin people...... At least they saw some hope from Lu Zhe is Qin people and reused Sima Xin and other Qin people, so they switched to the enthusiasm that erupted under Lu Zhe's rule, unlike the weird "five big empty" situation in the original history.
Since the old Qin people in Longxi and Wang Ben threw themselves at Lu Zhe, and Xu Yan also moved closer to Lu Zhe in the follow-up, the Qin people in Qin basically knew that the Qin State was not far from becoming history, and when people's minds changed, Fusu naturally felt that the people's hearts were scattered and the team was not easy to bring. He didn't know that the people's hearts in Qin Di had changed under Lu Zhe's calculations, or if the Zhao family had really reached the point where it should be swept into the historical garbage heap, no matter from the perspective of people's hearts, national strength, and military strength, Lu Zhe proposed to keep the Qin King number to give the Zhao family the surname Ying, and he immediately accepted the reality.
Fusu's acceptance won a good result for the Zhao family, and if it didn't give more Qin people a chance to rise again, then the Qin people who broke out with new enthusiasm naturally had to grasp that opportunity tightly.
For the soldiers who have been reorganized from the Qin army to the new army of the Han army, it is already a very good thing to fight for the object of the fight after becoming the Han army, and the object of the fight is the Hu people who entered Shangjun and Beidi County, and it is even more necessary to fight hard, which is not only to kill the enemy for meritorious service but also to kill the enemy for revenge, and it is strange if you don't work hard.
In the plain about 200 miles south of Yuwoye, he fought with the Hu people more than once, and with the subsequent friendly advances, the Hu cavalry also increased, and the battle once had the possibility of developing into a battle, but there were changes later.
The number of Han troops going south was not large, and it was not without losses after several battles, and under the premise that the friendly troops who had drawn from the eastern front did not arrive at the main road of Woye Kongzhì, neither Xu Zhi nor Wang Ben of the First Cavalry Corps dared to transfer all the troops south.
What about the Huns and the Hu people? In fact, they didn't expect to be intercepted when they made a detour to the north, they originally thought that the Chinese army should be attracted by another decoy force, and there was still no Chinese army on their side, so when the Hugh Tu Department walking in front reported the news of being intercepted by the Han army, they fell into a state of confusion and confusion.
The Han army, it's the army of the newly rising country in the south, shouldn't they be in the land of Qilu? Even if it is to advance westward, it should arrive at Zhaodi, and then it should directly break into Qin to support Qin or attack Qin, how can it appear in the Hetao area, and then block it from north to south?
"That's not the Chinese people we know, they didn't kill their own people first to destroy the Qin State as we imagined, this is simply too contrary to common sense!" On the one hand, the leader of the Kunxi tribe was glad that they were not in the front, and on the other hand, he was happy that the Han army appeared on the way home.
"Now don't talk about those who don't." Touman noticed that his head hurt a little, stopped the rest of the people from chattering crookedly, lowered his voice, and said in a deep voice: "Send elite men to make a detour to investigate, be sure to find out if the road is blocked, and if so, how many enemy troops there are." β
Tou Man didn't say anything else, and he regretted in his heart why he didn't listen to Mao Dun's Jian, they should have hidden themselves in the vast western border of the Northland County now.
The Xiongnu and other Hu people are not completely unfamiliar with the Chinese ethnic group, after all, the two ethnic groups have always been in a hostile position since they came into contact, and they have invaded the south more than once, but each time they have been blocked and beaten a lot. It is not nonsense for them to understand that the Huaxia clan will destroy their fellow clan first, because they have really seen too many examples like that...... (To be continued......)
