At the end of July, Li Xin over there proudly told the officials and generals of Qin about his strategy to defeat Chu. The Qin garrison here still didn't know when the delayed return would be.
It's the end.
After Heifu and the others stayed in Chenliu for half a month, they finally received new orders, but instead of being dismissed, they were reorganized.
The soldiers from Nanjun were asked to go to Yangcheng County to meet up. Everyone immediately looked at each other and asked each other where Yangcheng was.
Someone who knew it whispered: "To the south of Ru River, it was originally a county of Chu State."
Hearing the name of this place, Heifu immediately remembered a text he had learned some time ago.
"Chen Shengzhe, a native of Yangcheng, named She..."
Although the beginning paragraph was not required to be memorized, Hei Fu was impressed by it for some reason, so when he heard that they were going to be transferred to Yangcheng, he immediately remembered it.
This group of garrison soldiers left Chenliu again in mid-July and headed southwest for more than three hundred miles. After crossing Ru River, they arrived in Yangcheng County.
The outskirts of Yangcheng County have become a large military camp. In addition to Heifu and the others, the four to five thousand garrison troops who were ordered to be transferred from Nanjun last year are also concentrated here. Unlike the battle to destroy Wei, they fought separately due to the need for separate garrisoning.
After being separated, this time, they will be put back together to form a song.
"This is preparing for a field battle." Hei Fu secretly thought something bad. Looking at this situation, he really did not avoid Qin's first attack on Chu.
The wartime formation of the Qin Army was based on the peacetime establishment and was organized into a large-scale combat force. First, the total strength of the troops was determined based on the combat targets and other aspects of the situation, and the commanders of the three armies were appointed. For example, in the previous battle to destroy Wei, it was used
The fighting force was 80,000, in addition to 100,000 garrison soldiers and prisoners, all commanded by Wang Ben.
Under the general, there are several deputy generals, called generals Pi. Qiang Xu, who first led Heifu and others to conquer the territory eastward, and Yang Duanhe, the father of Yang Xiong, are all generals. Pi generals are generally called generals.
He brought tens of thousands of people and called them a unit, but not all of them were soldiers, there were also many civilians.
Under the generals, there are basically five thousand people in units, called a song, and there are also school captains, or captains.
The subordinates of the captains and captains are the commanders who are in charge of a thousand people, and the five hundred masters who are in charge of five hundred people.
Five hundred people from Anlu, Jingling, and Yanling were grouped together. Heifu, the leader of the five hundred people, was no stranger to him. It was the Yi Tao people from Nanjun who had met them during the battle to capture Waihuang.
Cheng Wuyou.
During the reorganization of the establishment, Heifu was appointed as a hundred generals because he had been promoted to the title of "doctor".
A hundred generals serve as commanders of hundreds of soldiers and are equivalent to company commanders in later generations.
Touching the wooden talisman used to mobilize troops, Heifu couldn't help but sigh. Thinking about his past life, he heard from classmates who joined the army that the fastest way to become a company commander in the army is to graduate from the military academy, work as a platoon leader for one year and be promoted to deputy company. This is 4
+1 year, if someone becomes a company commander in less than two years, he will definitely be envied by others.
But now, after he has experienced so many dangers in Anlu County and on the battlefield before he climbed to the position of Chen Baijiang and Bin Baijiang in Anlu County, he inevitably has some shortcomings in his heart.
It is indeed far better to start from scratch than to start from scratch.
Heifu secretly said: "It's no wonder that the battle to destroy Wei was fought too smoothly. There were many beheadings, which caused many people's titles to rise, and the value of military titles to decrease. Before the war, a great nobleman would have had the opportunity to do so.
Five hundred masters..."
Fortunately, he did not have an instructor to supervise the decentralization of power, so he could have a unified command. He had two commanders, who were equivalent to platoon commanders in later generations. They were the Dongmen Leopard under his old subordinate, and the one who captured the city first during the Battle of Waihuang.
The first person to ascend to the camp was Huaimu, a native of Jingling County.
Heifu still remembered that Huaimu was wounded several times in the head and body outside Huangcheng, and even his right palm was shot through by the enemy's arrows, but he still held the sword with his left hand and killed a light knight.
However, looking at the gray bun on the right side of Huaimu's head, Heifu was slightly surprised: "You were wearing a hairpin as early as when you were in Waihuang. You could be promoted two levels at that time. Why are you still wearing a hairpin now? Your title has not yet reached your title.
?”
Huaimu has dark skin and white teeth when he smiles: "I got the title, but I gave it away in exchange for my family's freedom."
It turns out that Huaimu's two younger brothers broke the law and became slaves. Huaimu could only exchange his titles for them. The first-class title was exchanged for a slave and regained his freedom. It's no wonder that he was willing to be the first to go to Huangcheng and the bloody battle continued.
.
After saying that, Huaimu patted his chest and said: "Huaimu has no other skills, but he dares to stand in the battle formation when ordered to do so. From now on, we will charge in the front, but we must also rely on hundreds of generals to help behind."
Huaimu had already told everyone about what Heifu had bandaged for their injuries during the Waihuang War. Seeing that the two seriously injured people, Huaimu and Dongmen Bao, were now alive and kicking, those who were newly assigned to Heifu's command
The soldiers immediately looked at Hei Fu with special eyes, feeling that General Bai was really capable of saving lives and healing wounds.
Ji Ying also shouted: "Although Baijiang is not a doctor, he has been praised by the medical officer from Xianyang, and he is willing to worship Baijiang as his teacher and learn the art of binding wounds from him!"
Bu Cheng also took the opportunity to come over, held up a volume of miscellaneous copies of the "Rishu", and promoted superstition: "A hundred generals will not even accept orders from those who have saved them with these hands!"
So, with Sophora Mu, Dongmen Leopard showing up to speak out, Ji Ying, and Bu Cheng adding fuel to the fire, Heifu had all the new garrison soldiers obeying him in less than a day. Seeing that another war was inevitable,
No one can guarantee that they will not be injured. With such a magical general behind them, the hearts of the garrison soldiers can't help but feel a lot more at ease.
After completing the new reorganization, Heifu and the others were assigned a new task, but it was not to fight, but to help harvest grain in Yangcheng County...
…
In mid-August, the earth was golden. With the help of Qin soldiers, the harvest in Yangcheng County was coming to an end. Of course, the Qin army was not here to do voluntary work, but to plunder their own rations. There were five thousand people in Nanjun.
But they all count on Yangcheng’s food to eat.
Heifu threw a large bundle of millet onto the field ridge, wiped his sweat, sat on the field ridge to drink water, and asked the hunched local farmer next to him: "Old man, how is this year's harvest compared to previous years?"
After half a month of getting along, the farmers in this field are no longer afraid of the Qin army, because the people concentrated here are from Nanjun. Nanjun was once a Chu land, and Yangcheng was also a Chu land. Both sides speak Jingchu dialect.
, although there are many deviations in the accent, I can generally understand it.
The ability to communicate is an important way for people to distinguish between different people and the same kind.
Although it was a bit painful for the Qin people to take away one-third of the harvest, the land rent collected by the local Chu County Yin "Yangcheng Gong" was similar to when the Chu State ruled here.
So the old farmer babbled and said that because of last year's war, many people heard that the Qin army was going to occupy this place, so they moved away in advance, leaving a lot of land uncultivated. Fortunately, the Qin army stationed here organized soldiers to accept it.
I took the abandoned fields and planted them with millet and wheat, and at least I got a little harvest.
While chatting, Hei Fu could no longer hold back his chatter. Hei Fu and the old farmer were chatting about their daily routine, and suddenly asked him: "My husband, have you ever heard of a man named Chen Sheng in this county?"
"Chen Sheng?" The old farmer blinked, as if searching through the fragmentary names in his mind.
"He should be a farmhand, working the land for mediocrity."
This is the only thing Heifu knows. Now that he has come to Yangcheng, he can't help but wonder, is Chen Sheng also in this county? I wonder if he was sitting on the edge of the field like he is now, sighing.
The sentence "The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan..."
"I've never heard of Chen Sheng."
After thinking for a while, the old farmer shook his head and pointed to the east of Yangcheng and said: "But in Dongxiang of Yangcheng, there is indeed a Chen family. Hundreds of people in the family live together in one li. Chen Sheng, who Baijiang is looking for,
, maybe they are from the Chen family. Although the descendants of the Chen family are prosperous, there are also many poor children who can only work as sharecroppers for others because they have no land."
Heifu suddenly became interested: "Where is the Chen clan's village in Dongxiang?"
"It's right by the Ru River. There were only a hundred generals there. Now, the people there are empty! The chief of the Chen clan heard that the Qin invaders... The Qin army wanted to occupy this place, so he took the whole clan and moved away.
!”
Heifu asked again: "Do you know where they moved to?"
The old farmer shook his head: "I only know that I walked along Ru River, maybe to Dun County, maybe to Xiang County..."
"Xiang County?"
Heifu nodded thoughtfully, but his mind was no longer on the elusive Chen Sheng.
Xiang County is one hundred and fifty miles southeast of Yangcheng. It is said that Chu State has gathered nearly ten thousand troops there, and the Xiang family's fiefdom is there...
Xiang Yan, the last famous general of Chu State, his son Xiang Liang, and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu more than ten years later, are all talented people. Although the main body of the Xiang family has moved to Xiaxiang, Xiang County still has
It is an important town in Huaibei, Chu State.
This time, the Qin army’s opponent was no longer the vulnerable Wei State, but the Chu State with many soldiers and brave generals!
"Qin State fought this battle too hastily." Hei Fu looked at the dark cloudy sky, feeling worried.
