I am very grateful to the three book friends of "Forest Guardian", "Blue Tulip" and "FYL58588" for voting for their valuable monthly tickets; Xie Lu Xie "OK~" and "Shubei Captain" once again enthusiastically rewarded.

………………………………………………………………………………………

The 20,000 Qin troops who were supposed to arrive later received a new order to fight in Shu County, and it was no surprise that there would indeed be no reinforcements. Since the troops are marching towards Shu County, will the follow-up grain and grass be inclined to that side? If the grain and grass of Bashu would really tilt towards the 20,000 Qin troops heading for Shu County, it would be an even worse thing for Lu Zhe of Nanjun.

However, there are pros and cons to everything, if the 20,000 Qin troops really come to Nanjun, then there will be at least four captains at that time. When the time comes, will they listen to the orders of Lu Zhe, who has the tiger talisman and the seal of the general, or will Lu Zhe, who is just a military marquis, listen to one of them?

This is a foolish thing, as a rule, whoever has a tiger talisman should listen to whom, but there will always be some accidents, once a strong captain has to seize power, wouldn't all Lu Zhe's efforts be a wedding dress for others?

The situation that is not easy to stabilize is that he is about to be able to control the entire Nanjun, Lu Zhe does not want someone to suddenly get involved, and then all his efforts become a joke.

Does this mean that Lu Zhe wants to stand on his own feet or be separated? No, no, no! He is not so stupid, everything he does is just to be in a hurry, this situation has occurred more than once in the history of the Qin State, and he has not seen any generals who are in a hurry to obey the power to be killed or beheaded, at most he is to reward a high lord and idle the country to monitor and raise it.

Lu Zhe is just preparing for the future, and this preparation is very necessary. Now that he is shrinking his hands and feet, then the start is much slower than that of "those people", and he can't stand still if he wants to live, so he can only take the dangerous road.

Moreover, if this trend continues, unrest in the southern counties is inevitable. The Xianyang Center couldn't take care of Nanjun in a short period of time.

Even if he paid attention to it, the Xianyang Center would not do anything to Lu Zhe when it was necessary to have a large number of generals to fight for the country, if Lu Zhe, who had made such a strong effort, was not rewarded but was convicted, who dared to contribute to the country among those generals of the Qin State, if there was really something to do, it would be after the war subsided.

It is completely sure that Lu Zhe will take risks, he actually doesn't think that this is a dangerous road, it will take at least a year or two or even more to quell the chaos, at that time the situation is not known what the road is like, and the first emperor has no years to live.

The turmoil began in Nanjun, and some well-intentioned people added firewood to the fire, which caused the surrounding counties to be indeed in turmoil. The first to suffer were Changsha County and Hengshan County, which are next door to Nanjun. The chaos in these two counties was even more serious than that of Nanjun, the center of the storm, and some of the old nobles who had been hiding frequently gathered the old troops to raise troops, and the local Qin government was taken by surprise, and one county after another fell.

Turmoil is a contagious disease, and even those who are unwilling to gather troops or participate in the turmoil will definitely organize armed forces in order to protect themselves, so a small division is inevitable.

Famous and unknown people, whether they were once nobles or commoners, or even officials of the Qin State. They began to gather people for their own merits or to protect themselves, and they continued to attack and kill each other.

For example, Changsha County, which is relatively southern, and Lingling and Chenxian in the southernmost places, have two relatively large armed forces emerging in these two places. There were some small armed forces in the village, and at one time there were at least one or two dozen so-called "leaders." Then in the mountain range called Jiuning Mountain, countless camps appeared like bamboo shoots, and there were several generals.

Wu Rui, an official of the Qin State. His self-preservation behavior in Changsha County is the most "outstanding", almost because the turmoil has just spread to Changsha County, this young man who is not yet the county order of Qin State. He relied on his prestige in the countryside to gather more than 3,000 young men in ten days, and the team grew bigger and bigger, and now there are almost 20,000 people, entrenched in Shazhou, Xiangshan, Dongting and other places.

Lu Zhe didn't know that Lu Dao Mei would follow Wu Rui in the future, he would know that Lu Dao Wu Rui was such a person as this army was purely too close to Nanjun, and it was almost separated from Yun Mengze on the other side.

It is not surprising to notice Wu Rui, Lu Zhe has always been worried that Baiyue will make a comeback, and it is inevitable that an armed force with unknown intentions will appear not far away, where will he not pay attention?

Wu Rui should be in his twenties now, his army is more interesting, he neither raised the banner of the Qin State nor openly opposed Qin, and shouted the slogan of protecting the territory and the people, occupying all the main routes, and making a posture that whoever enters the territory will fight.

Lu Zhe felt that Wu Rui was a very smart person, and if he was not smart, he would not shout the slogan of "protecting the territory and securing the people" to win over the people. He has instructed the scouts to pay attention to the movements of Wu Rui's troops at all times, and plans to send people who can speak well to contact him in the near future.

Compared with Changsha County, which was relatively weak in Qin's control, Hengshan County was a county with relatively strong control in Qin, and there was a Qin army of 10,000 scattered in Hengshan County.

It stands to reason that with strong control and 10,000 main combat troops stationed, then Hengshan County should be relatively stable and chaotic, right? But the opposite is true!

Yi County is the capital of Hengshan County, and it is not far from the junction of Hengshan County and Nan County, it should be on the seventh day after the outbreak of the Nan County Rebellion, Yi County fell after two days of resistance with 3,000 Qin main battle troops stationed.

There is a reason for this, the original 3,000 county soldiers in Yi County killed the officers and rebelled, and they joined forces with more than 30,000 anti-thieves of different strength outside to defeat the troops of the Qin State.

More than 30,000 anti-thieves don't know if Lu Dao is really a thief or a coerced Qianshou, they haven't finished after occupying Yi County, a burst of burning and looting is inevitable, and I don't know what the reason for Lu Dao is that those anti-thieves killed themselves, and they killed for ten days, and a leader named Deng Zong won the most victorious. Yi County also fell into the hands of a man named Deng Zong.

The rest of the main battle Qin troops stationed in Anfeng only heard the news on the fifth day after the fall of Yixian, and when they received orders to prepare for battle to quell the rebellion, the big mountain (Dabie Mountain, but now called Hengshan Mountain Range) that almost spanned the entire Hengshan County was already a paradise for traitors.

Countless large and small gangs were entrenched in the mountains, fearing that the traitors would attack Anfeng after the troops were deployed, so the Qin army had no choice but to report to the superiors of Lu and continue to stay in Anfeng to make the necessary defensive posture.

And these are just the news that Lu Zhe heard from various channels. For example, Jiujiang County, Lujiang County, and Huiji County don't know anything. However, in his mind, the situation in these three counties where the old nobles hid a lot was definitely not much better, at least the Huiji County where the Xiang clan, who was determined to oppose Qin, should be very bad.

The situation is similar to what Lu Zhe thought, but there are still some discrepancies, Jiujiang County, Lujiang County, and Huiji County The first of the three counties to raise troops was not the Xiang clan of Huiji County, but a person named Huan Chu in Jiujiang County.

Huan Chu heard that it was the old nobles of the Chu State, and there were only more than 200 villagers around him when he raised the army, so he first bewitched the nostalgic Chu State or the gentry who were dissatisfied with the Qin State in the countryside of Yugan, and obtained their support to gather more than 7,000 people, and then joined forces with the Hao Gentry to capture Yugan County.

After capturing the remnants. Huan Chu just took away the civilians to rob the wealth, grain, and grass, and then tossed and turned, and after resting for a while, he did not touch those county towns where county soldiers were stationed, but specifically attacked the villages where there were only thieves and confiscations, and there were not many armed people. This strategy has to be said to be a very good choice, attacking countless villages in a short period of time, and gathering 30,000 or 40,000 people by coercion or coercion.

In addition to Huan Chu, Lujiang County also appeared Zhou Wen (Zhou Zhang), Shang Xu, Dejiang and other rebel forces, these famous and unknown figures in history gathered in the mountains and forests or attacked everywhere, and for a time it was really everywhere.

And Jiujiang County is even more complicated, because there are too many people who raised troops, they will not be narrated one by one, but it is precisely because there are too many. On the contrary, Jiujiang County did not have the kind of thief army that gathered more than 10,000 people, and the local Qinguo County soldiers had been fighting back and forth with the rebellious leaders after reacting.

Lu Zhe thought that Huiji County, which would fall first, was relatively calm, and there was only one army named Long He who rebelled, and this person's home seemed to be iron-struck. At the beginning of the army, more than 500 tribesmen armed with iron weapons attacked everywhere, but they successfully defeated Wusheng County, and then gathered more than 5,000 people to scatter grain, and went to attack Damo County. It's a pity that this battle was defeated by a local county soldier named Zhong Liwu with 500 main troops. After the defeat, Long He fled into the deep mountains and old forests with the remnants of his army, and disappeared without a trace.

Except for Long Ji, no one in Huiji County rebelled. This cannot be said to be unsurprising. Obviously, the ill-intentioned Xiang clan is still unwilling to get up too early to be the first bird.

What is Xiang doing now? It is an absolute fact that they are hiding in Huiji County and secretly training their troops, but Xiang Liang is a pseudonym and is invested in the account of Huiji County Shou Yintong as a staff member, Xiang Bo is still running around and is not in Huiji County at all, and Xiang Ji (Yu) is causing trouble everywhere.

Before the situation became clear, it could be said that Xiang would not have come to the fore so early. Perhaps they will wait for the smoke to rise everywhere and the national strength of the Qin State will be weakened before they will raise troops, and they will probably still want to take the route of "picking peaches".

In other words, the Xiang clan is waiting for some people to take the lead to consume or involve the forces of the Qin State, wait for someone to grow in anti-Qin power, and then rely on Xiang Liang's boasted fame to take refuge in the past, like the occupying of the nest in history when they first took refuge in Lu Chen and then replaced him.

Distort the facts or think of Xiang as too cunning and shady? Oh my God...... That's what the Xiang clan did in history!

Compared with Xiang's actions, Lu Zhe can be said to be a little involuntary.

Lu Zhe still hasn't found a new food channel, and as he sees it for a long time, he finds that the practice of relying on hunting to alleviate food is a bit taken for granted, although it has relieved the pressure on food, but the effect is not as good as imagined. On the contrary, he did the right thing to start fishing in the Yangtze River, which is very rich in aquatic products, even in the summer when fish are at its least active, and the daily production is very large.

The Yangtze River is a freshwater fish, which is basically an edible fish, and it is far from the season for fish mating and spawning.

People who eat plant-based foods all the time will have a stronger hunger feeling, but with meat, oil and water, people will eat less plant-based food.

The output of hunting and fishingFor the people under Lu Zhe's command, they used to need to eat a lot to be full, but now with a sauce that is full of oil and water, similar to marinade, and with the most common grass carp (also called herring), it is not only delicious but also easy to eat.

Fishing also has a kind of welfare for Lu Zhe, and the current Yangtze River aquatic products can be said to be more diverse to an exaggerated extent, such as pufferfish, anchovy and saury, which are very precious or valuable fishery products in modern times, are now common to the point of not being able to do so.

As the commander-in-chief of the whole army. The things that Lu Zhe has eaten recently can be said to be strange, he has eaten crocodile meat, rhinoceros beef, and puffer fish and anchovies. And some crabs, although they are not the fattest season, he has tasted them one by one. Snails are not sensitive, and God knows if those colorful snails are poisonous.

Speaking of poison, puffer fish is actually poisonous, but the Chu people have long had a set of corresponding and very mature ways to eat, such as the puffer fish meat eaten by Lu Zhe is thinly cut and eaten raw with sauce, which is no different from eating sashimi.

Although it is still in a state of food shortage. However, with the extremely productive fishery and the large-scale killing of Yunmengze, the situation was alleviated in the short term.

At present, the population of Gangneung is about 500,000, and almost half of them have fled from counties, villages, and villages in various places. These people who fled to Gangneung arrived at different times, and when they came, they would be recorded by the local army and then arranged for work.

Cash-for-work ...... Well, the cliché way to not work. Maybe the word "relief" shouldn't be used, but Lu Zhe really didn't want to raise them for nothing. Then the various projects were started under the operation of Lu Zhe.

The plain area between Yiling and Gangneung should be transformed into cultivated fields, but in fact, the transformation is not so simple as imagined, just pulling a plow to remove a weed.

The process of transforming the fields is very complicated. In addition to removing plants from the field, it is also necessary to turn over the ground and pick out rocks and grains. There are only two procedures, which is not complicated? That can only be refuted with "easy to say than difficult to do", just removing the roots of those plants is a very complicated matter, let alone removing the stones and stones.

In addition to the transformation of the fields. Lu Zhe's construction of the fort on the main road of the mountains and on the other side of the Yangtze River has also begun, and with the preparation of wooden planks and shelves in the early stage, it is really not difficult to build the fort except for the need to artificially create mud at the construction site.

Naturally, Lu Zhe couldn't go to supervise the construction of every fort in person. He used the construction of the first three forts to teach a group of people.

Don't think that the ancients were idiots, under Lu Zhe's repeated explanations and teachings, there are many people who understand the construction process just because of the three military forts as a model.

Everything was on the agenda, and Lu Zhe completely turned his attention to the construction of the army.

The number of young men who fled to Gangneung was relatively large, and among them qualified people were selected as recruits, and this selection led to the formation of an army of 30,000 men.

There were already 50,000 troops under Lü Zhe's command, and excluding the troops stationed in various counties, including the newly formed 30,000, Jiangling currently has a total of 60,000 troops. In other words, the total number of troops under Lu Zhe has reached 80,000.

Borrowing from Cao Cao's practice during the Three Kingdoms period, Lü Zhe set aside the necessary garrisons, and retained 15,000 very strong prime, and the rest of the troops all became Tuntian troops.

What does the so-called Tuntian mean, I guess I don't need to explain too much, right? To put it simply, it is an army that works and trains, but the training intensity is not very high.

Among the 15,000 people deliberately left, about 5,000 were seedlings that Su Lie felt were suitable for training into heavy infantry, and Lu Zhe handed over these 5,000 people to Su Lie, and the remaining 10,000 people were supervised by Lu Zhe himself.

Now there are more than 3,000 pairs of rattan armor fabricated, and their defensive power is not a little higher than the previous rudimentary Teng Dun after being refined by tung oil, and Lu Zhe selected 2,000 people as rattan armor soldiers, that is, the kind of troops who wear rattan armor and hold sharp axes.

Due to the large number of seized furs, the newly hunted crocodiles, rhinoceros, most of these resilient animal skins were made into leather armor, some leather and hardwood also made a batch of shields, plus Lu Zhe's control of the gold city "Yuecheng" also used the old raw materials to resume production, a kind of shield Pu sword soldiers that would have appeared in the Three Kingdoms period appeared in advance, their number is 5,000 people.

In addition to the 2,000 vine armor soldiers and the 5,000 shield Pu sword soldiers, Lu Zhe planned to train the remaining 3,000 people into a type of army called the Jumping Soldiers.

In layman's terms, the jumping soldier is actually a sword and shield hand, with a round shield and a short knife, wearing light armor, and is mainly good at hand-to-hand combat, making up for the lack of flexibility of companions using long weapons, and is characterized by flexibility and strong hand-to-hand combat ability. Mainly used against the opposing infantry, this type of unit does not need a formation, and is very suitable for fighting in a forest environment.

Judging by those classes. It can be seen that Lu Zhe prefers his own troops with sufficient defensive power, but that is also a choice that has no choice, after all, spearmen and spearmen are long weapons that are indeed more restrictive in the environment of most forests in the south.

The selected units have not yet been installed, one is that the number of armor and weapons is insufficient, and the other is that the newly recruited soldiers have not yet adapted to military life. Therefore, after Lu Zhe compiled them, he has been doing that kind of boring standing queue, walking in unison or something, at least to give them a preliminary run-in and a sense of collectivity.

Of course, Lu Zhe's current status does not allow him to do nothing but train the troops himself, and the so-called personal training is just a statement that puts a lot of energy into personally supervising it.

Time is always passing slowly, and everything just needs to be done step by step after the overall deployment is made. After about a month, the forts on the mountains on three sides of Yiling have been built and are waiting to be solidified, as are the beacon towers and forts on the other side of the Yangtze River.

In this month, Lu Zhe successively sent troops to the counties of Nanjun, and because of the relationship between the people of Nanjun, he did not waste much effort to control those counties, and his control was extending to the township and even the inside.

Of course, Lu Zhe only let the old government accept the leadership, did not change any administrative personnel, and only restored contact with the township and the li. It is not exaggerated to the point of assigning personnel to master.

It seems that from the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the ruling power of the government came to a halt at the county level, and the administration of the township or below has always been in the hands of the gentry. (Too lazy to mention 'I Daqing')

It is now the Qin period, and the Qin State's control over the township is actually very strong. However, in general, it still implements a relaxed policy called the "three-elder system", and the government's orders have always been conveyed by the three elders, such as the appointment of township heads, district chiefs, pavilion chiefs and other official positions are actually recommended to the county by the three elders, and the county approves them and accepts their fate.

Lu Zhe has no plans to change those for the time being. The policy that was originally intended to recruit the prime of life was stopped after more than 30,000 people were recruited.

It was some accident that made Ji Lu's plan change, Lu Zhe had already selected more than 30,000 people from the people who had fled, and the number of troops under his command had reached 80,000. Although only about 15,000 of them were out of production, and the rest of the troops, whether scattered or in Gangneung, still needed to work, more soldiers did not mean a good thing until the food problem was solved.

The conscription reached the early 30,000s and shouted to stop, since it has been conscripted, even if it is difficult, it can't be disbanded, right? The change of order is a matter of loss of prestige for anyone, especially for Lu Zhe.

With the 30,000 conscripts in the back, the troops under Lu Zhe also reached 110,000, which is an extremely terrifying number.

Nothing is set in stone, and since there are 110,000 prime of life to choose from, then Lu Zhe's requirements for soldiers are of course excellent. A kind of elimination system came into being, and the strategy of the soldiers in the plan was carried out very smoothly because there were enough young people.

The training took a long time, and Lu Zhe, who was widely distributed as scouts, also gained a basic understanding of the surrounding situation after a month and a half.

In this month and a half, in addition to Ba, Shu, and Hanzhong, the surrounding counties and counties in addition to Ba, Shu, and Hanzhong, the rest of the southern counties were spent in the chaotic situation of "you fight me, I will fight you", except for Hengshan County and Huiji County, because the local Qin garrison has been suppressing the rebels, so that the situation is not so bad, Changsha County, Jiujiang County, Lujiang County The three counties have been in flames everywhere.

Lu Zhe paid more attention to the movement on the other side of Yun Mengze, and Wu Rui, who was entrenched there, snowballed together more than 100,000 people in just one month, which shows how great the role of the phrase "protecting the territory and securing the people" is.

In addition to Wu Rui's relatively large team in Changsha County, there are four other ones that have also been preserved in the elimination. The names of these four leaders were already clear to Lu Zhe, two of them were nobles from Old Chu, and the other two turned out to be bureaucrats of the Qin State.

Lu Zhe didn't know what the former Qin bureaucrats who followed the rebellion meant, but the first emperor was still alive, and the national strength of the Qin state was ...... At least when the military was still at its peak, it also chose to rebel.

After thinking about it again and again, Lu Zhe believes that it is most correct not to raise the anti-flag and to implement invisible autonomy.

On the forty-seventh day of the Yiling Turmoil, the Xianyang Center in Neishi County learned that there was turmoil in the south, and it was almost on the third day of the turmoil in the south of Xianyang Zhilu Road, and the letters sent by Lu Zhe to Xianyang before reached Zhao Gao, Xu Yan, and Meng Yi, and the war reports and other letters that were supplemented later were also successively delivered to the National Governor's Office.

The small but very detailed war reports written by Lu Zhe were the most detailed military reports sent to Xianyang from the south, and they were almost immediately submitted to the First Emperor after being checked by the State Captain's Office...... (To be continued......)
