Guan Ying and Han Xin took two completely different routes.

In terms of combat style, Guan Ying seems to be a bit softer. As long as he can achieve his goal, he can make some concessions.

Han Xin, on the other hand, is stubborn and hopes to break out the sky with his fists.

There is no way to judge who is right and who is wrong, each style has its own place that suits him best.

In front of Guan Ying was Sui County, the seat of Dang County.

Taking Sui County will be a huge blow to the Chu army and the entire Dang County.

Strength! Psychologically!

From a personal emotional point of view, Guan Ying did not really want Suixian County to become a battlefield, let alone killings here.

Because two years ago, he left here and went to Xingyang to find his dream.

Guan Ying has special feelings for Suixian, so he doesn't want him to be destroyed by his own hands.

It was very comfortable to follow Guan Ying's main army. Every day was a standard march, neither fast nor slow.

It seems like a normal domestic transfer, everything is so ordinary.

Although Sui County is a county, it is larger than other counties by a full circle.

As a county government, he needs such a large place to serve as a pavilion.

after one day.

In Sui County.

Somewhere in the military camp.

Several dirty Chu soldiers were sitting on the ground in a disorderly manner, throwing their weapons around them.

Looking at the military camp with people coming and going, there was an expression of unhappiness on his face.

"Hey, if we continue like this, we old guys may not even have a place to sleep!" One of them began to complain.

"It's better to have no place to sleep than to fight ten Han troops by yourself, right?" someone retorted.

"Lao Lu can fight twenty of them!"

"I think it's twenty fingers, hahaha..."

"You're talking as if you can beat me!" Lao Lu, who was being teased by everyone, counterattacked not to be outdone.

"Hey, Lao Lu, don't be dissatisfied. We have learned a lot of skills from Brother Mao during this period. If we can't beat him, at least we can run away, right?"

Everyone was talking nonsense.

Recently, the Han army suddenly launched an offensive, which caused great tension in Suixian County.

They quickly recruited corvees and entered the military camp, and then conducted a brief warm-up training.

They, the veterans, became the subjects of free exile. Anyway, they did not skip daily training, and not training for ten and a half days would not have any impact.

So, some of the veterans went to train the new recruits, while the others were driven into corners. You can do whatever you want, as long as you don't come out to cause trouble.

Suixian is a large city with a large population. In addition to the temporary corvee transfers from surrounding areas, 50,000 troops gathered in Suixian in a short period of time.

However, the actual defenders only numbered over 5,000, and the remaining 45,000 were recruited recently to make up the number.

It's not impossible to train and help, but if you want to count on these people, you'd better forget it as soon as possible.

"Tell me, where are the Han troops?"

"We should be here soon, right? Didn't Mao come back from Xiangyi? It's almost time."

"Mao, how on earth did you escape from Xiangyi?"

Being pushed into the topic of loyalty, Mao Liu felt a little uncomfortable, so he found it difficult and wanted to refuse to answer.

But in the end, unable to hold back the enthusiasm of the crowd, Mao Liu had no choice but to speak.

"I told the Han army that I only went to the city to sell fur goods to support my family. Now that the fur goods have been sold out, I can't leave the city. The Han army has implemented such a good policy in the city. I want to go back to the village quickly to tell everyone the good news, and then

They let me out..."

"Just let you go?" someone asked doubtfully.

"Of course not. I also learned this from others. It's just a different way of saying it. There were hundreds of people let go in front of me. I even saw dozens more coming out behind me..." Mao

Six said.

"What good policies did the Han army implement? Don't just say one thing and do another, right?"

Finally getting down to business, Mao Liu cautiously checked around, and after confirming that no one was there, he motioned for everyone to come closer.

"Today, these words can come out of my mouth and can be heard by you, but they must not be spread to others."

"Don't worry, Mao. Don't you know how strict my brothers are?"

"That's right, I haven't told anyone how Lao Lu put the umbrella away when he raised it in the middle of the night last time. Even Lao Lu himself doesn't know."

"Damn it, you want to die, don't you?"

"Don't... guys, don't listen to my nonsense. I just made it up. Mao, please tell me quickly..."

Mao Liu covered his mouth and smiled secretly. Although he rejected it, this kind of thing...

"Then let me tell you!" Mao Liu continued to lower his voice: "The first thing the Han army did when they entered the city was to seal up the warehouse, find the account books, and then tell the whole city that those who had paid taxes and entered the warehouse

, go to the granary with your identity card to claim back the taxes you have paid.”

"The second thing is to tell everyone that now they are Han people, so they are exempt from taxes for three years."

"The Han army came out this time without warning about the Han corvee, and they didn't even bring much food and grass, so the third thing was to recruit corvees. I heard several Han soldiers chatting and saying that the people of Xiangyi were so lucky.

Being able to be drafted into corvee service. I was puzzled at that time. This corvée service is not a good thing, so how can I have a good life?"

"That is to say, the Han army was doing well after entering the city. There was no burning, killing, looting, and they were very well-behaved. I braved it and asked, and then they told me that the Han people did corvee for twenty days every year. If it exceeded twenty days, they would be punished every two days.

We were given one dou of grain per day, and no one in the Han Kingdom was drafted due to war this whole year."

"Is there such a good thing?"

Do you still want to make money as a corvee?

Are you sure this is not a joke?

Also, the Han Dynasty didn’t even collect corvees when fighting?

Mao Liuyi answered everyone's doubts one by one. Some were straightforward answers, while others were unclear and very vague.

But the meaning of the expression was expressed.

As for Mao Liu's identity, he was originally from Sui County, and he was also responsible for delivering orders to the Sui County garrison. A few days ago, he went to Xiangyi to convey military orders, and happened to encounter the Han army attacking the city. That is to say, after Mao Liu came back, they

I knew the Han army had come out.

As for why Xiangyi didn't spread the news, the answer is naturally that he was intercepted midway.

Then, very quickly, an alternative rumor spread in the military camp.

This feeling is very familiar, as if it has happened somewhere before.

"Have you heard? After the Han army captured Xiangyi, they refunded all the taxes that had been collected and were exempted from taxes for three years..."

"The Han army collected corvees and gave them food..."

"The Han army had no intention of attacking Xiangyi. It was the people in Xiangyi who contacted the Han army, and then secretly killed the officials in Xiangyi and ushered in the Han army."

"It's impossible. There are still thousands of defenders in Xiangyi..."

"Hey, I have a brother who just came back from Xiangyi. The fact is that the reason why no news came back from Xiangyi is because the defenders of Xiangyi rebelled. They took control of the city, killed the officials, and ushered in the Han army.
