Chapter Six: The Camp of the Zhao Army (I)
After Li Mu left, Gao Yuan lay back on the bed and began to think about the next step, although Gao Yuan's mind was also very chaotic at this time, but this was a habit he had developed over the years, and everything had to be planned and purposed.
Now that I am in 230 BC, Qin's war to destroy the Six Kingdoms is about to begin, and from the perspective of historical development, Qin will destroy Korea this year, and it will be Zhao's turn the year after. And should he conform to history and defect to the Qin State, or stay in the Zhao State and change the course of history? Although Gao Yuan is not a history major, he also knows that at this time, the comprehensive national strength of the Qin State is the strongest among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and any of the other six countries, even if it concentrates the strength of two or three countries, it is impossible to compete with the Qin State.
Defecting to the Qin State and being with the victor is of course the safest approach, Gao Yuan still remembers that there was a novel in his previous life, and the protagonist was the first emperor of Qin when he was a teenager, and as a result, he was mixed up in the Qin State, and there were groups of wives and concubines.
But this road seems easy, but in fact it is not very feasible, because the current Qin Shi Huang is not an ignorant teenager, but an adult, and has completely mastered the power of the Qin State, and his subordinates have also concentrated a group of capable elite civil servants and military generals, all of whom are the best talents in this era. To put it simply, this piece of cake in the Qin State has basically been divided, so even if he arrives in the Qin State, it is difficult for him to have a chance to stand out.
In addition, after Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, the temperament has also undergone great changes, and later historians generally believe that Qin Shi Huang is a tyrant, mainly referring to Qin Shi Huang after the unification of the world, like what to seal Mount Tai, burn books and pit Confucianism, build the Great Wall, repair Afang Palace and so on. Therefore, it is not a pleasant thing to work under such an emperor, and if you don't get it right, you will die, Gao Yuan still vaguely remembers that the protagonist of that novel eventually left the Qin State and went to the outside of the Saiwai to create his own country.
Now of course Gao Yuan will not want to establish his own country, and if he can't go to Qin State, then he can only stay in Zhao State, anyway, now Zhao State can support more than two years, and Li Mu seems to be good to himself, and he really regards himself as a general.
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, the identity of the star is half of the advantages and disadvantages for himself, on the one hand, people in this era are very superstitious, such an identity can indeed scare many people, if it is used well, of course, it is a very favorable condition; But on the other hand, it is also easy to bring great calamity to oneself, because of the natural vision, which is something that is very taboo for any ruler. How to make good use of his identity, Gao Yuan still has no clue. However, judging from the current situation, at least Li Mu firmly believes in himself, so it is safe to stay in Li Mu's camp for the time being.
And Gao Yuan quickly thought of Li Mu's fate, it can be said that the fall of Zhao is directly related to Li Mu, because Li Mu is the only handsome material in this era who can withstand the attack of the Qin army, if it were not for the fact that Zhao fell into Qin's counter-plot, killed Li Mu, and self-destroyed the Great Wall, Zhao State could at least hold out for a while longer, so did he want to change this history and save Li Mu? Even if he can't keep Zhao Guo, he can buy himself more time.
Gao Yuan thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't have a clue, and at this moment, I saw the tent open, and a soldier wearing armor but not a helmet, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, walked in, holding a pile of clothes in his hand, and said, "Mr. Gao, this is the clothes that the general ordered me to send you." As he spoke, he put his clothes on the small table and said, "I'm outside, if Mr. Gao needs anything, just mention it to me." With that, he put his clothes on the small table and withdrew.
Gao Yuan shook his head, it seemed that before there was a plan for the body, he had to stay in Li Mu's camp for the time being, and see the steps. So the plateau also got out of bed and dressed, although it was a little awkward to wear ancient clothes, but the clothes on the plateau were already in tatters, and they couldn't be worn anymore, and they could only wear these clothes, but the plateau was short hair, not like the people of this era who tied their hair for the crown, so although they wore this dress, they also looked a little nondescript.
After getting dressed and walking out of the tent, the plateau found that it was now sunny, and at noon, and he was in a large military camp, and there were thousands of tents like himself in this barracks, and there were dozens of tents in a group, and the surrounding area was separated by chariots, wooden fences, and horses, forming a road, although it seemed to be messy, but in fact it was arranged according to a certain law, but the plateau could not see the mystery. From time to time, groups of soldiers walked up and down the barracks, and occasionally a few horses galloped by.
The small camp where the tent on the plateau is located is roughly arranged in a "squirt" shape, with a large open space in the middle, and there are more than 20 soldiers outside, sitting or lying, some wearing armor, some in civilian clothes, and a few people are half naked, and there are more than a dozen war horses parked around, some people are sharpening their swords, some people are brushing horses, some people are sorting out their armor, and a few people are sitting around and don't know what they are doing. In the middle of the clearing, there are several large cauldrons, and there is a firewood burning underneath, steaming, exuding a rich smell of meat. A few people were adding broth to the side of the pot.
Gao Yuan Xizi observed that Zhao Jun's armor style was similar to that of Qin Jun, but the clothes he wore were all red, so it was easier to distinguish. And the saddle bridle of the war horse is the same as what I saw yesterday, there is no horse pedal, only the front end of the saddle is curved, and the rear end is straight.
Seeing that the plateau came out, the other soldiers also stopped what they were doing, looking at the plateau, just like looking at a monster, and also saw that the plateau was furious, and the soldier who sent clothes to the plateau just now rushed over and said with a smile: "Mr. Gao, you are up, come to eat first." Then he turned his head and said to another soldier: "Xiao Liu, go and add a bowl of broth to Mr. Gao and find a few pieces of good meat." ”
The soldier agreed, picked up a large bowl, and went to the cauldron to refill the soup. Then it was brought to the plateau.
Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Thank you." He took the big bowl, which was a clay bowl, about the size of a small basin, full of broth, and several large pieces of beef.
And the soldier who had sent clothes to the plateau before said: "Eat, it is also thanks to Mr. Gao's blessing, the general ordered today to slaughter ten cows to reward the soldiers, so everyone has broth to drink." ”
Gao Yuan was a little strange and said with a smile: "Why did you trust my blessing?" ”
The soldier smiled, "I went with the general last night, and I can see it clearly. Mr. Gao first followed a big fireball from the sky together, and then killed more than 200 Qin soldiers by himself, which is too powerful, and we also harvested more than 30 Qin swords last night, and I got one, Mr. Gao probably doesn't remember me. ”
Gao Yuan was also a little embarrassed, and said: "It was too dark last night, so I didn't see it, by the way, what is your honorific name?" ”
The soldier smiled and said: "Mr. Gao is too polite, how can you respect the name, my name is Du Yi, and now the general is serving as a lieutenant, Mr. Gao can call me Xiao Du." ”
In fact, Du Yi's age is definitely older than Gao Yuan, so of course Gao Yuan will not call him Xiao Du, but as they spoke, several soldiers also surrounded Long, and one soldier said: "Did Mr. Gao really kill more than 200 Qin soldiers by himself last night?" ”
Du Yi said: "Is that still fake?" I, the general, and General Zhao all saw with their own eyes, the corpses of the Qin army were lying on the ground, with broken hands and feet, and their heads rolling all over the ground. ”
Because no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of an individual is on the battlefield, it is limited after all, in the case that the armies of both sides are basically the same, if a person can kill more than a dozen enemy soldiers, he is already a strong man, and if he can kill a hundred people, he is a rare fierce general, such as one enemy with ten million, a single person in and out of seven battles, this kind of thing, is just a storyteller, so if there is a person who can kill more than 200 enemy soldiers on the battlefield alone, it is definitely a miracle. In fact, at the beginning, Gao Yuan only killed a dozen Qin soldiers, and it was almost to the limit.
Gao Yuan smiled: "At that time, I was also out of the way, because if I didn't fight hard, I would have died in the hands of the Qin army, and then I was almost exhausted, if it wasn't for the general to come to the rescue of me, probably I wouldn't have survived." ”
Originally, the soldiers had some awe of the plateau, because in the morning the story about the plateau spread in the barracks, saying that it was superb, mysterious and mysterious, but after the words were spoken, plus the plateau had no shelf, there was no superior style, so all the soldiers let go, so they gossiped, asked everything, of course, most of them were related to the plateau, such as where the plateau came from; how it was not burned in the big fireball; why he fell from the sky and didn't fall to his death; Will not use spells and so on. It also made the plateau tired of responding, so he had to be deceived and fooled, half-truths and half-truths, and finally dealt with these soldiers.
Of course, Gao Yuan was also afraid that he would make a lot of mistakes, so he also asked them a lot of things, it turned out that now the Zhao army was facing the Qin army in Fanwu, Li Mu ordered to strictly guard the camp, not to engage the Qin army, and every day he was practicing the soldiers, and slaughtered a few cows every three or five to reward the soldiers. The two sides have been facing each other here for more than three months now. During this period of time, Li Mu personally drilled the formation every morning and practiced team combat, and in the afternoon, it was the individual officers who trained the soldiers, and the middle and lower-ranking officers were responsible for it. Du Yi is a middle-level officer.
During the Warring States Period, the military system between the countries was almost the same, with five people as a team, ten people as a tithe, and then divided into 50 people, 100 people, 500 people, and 1,000 people, and the names of officers at all levels were also roughly different, such as the name of the captain, the chief, the uncle, the captain, the general, the general, etc., Du Yi was the captain, and he was in charge of 500 soldiers.
