Chapter four hundred and ninety fourth war will start
The atmosphere at Hangu Pass is becoming more and more solemn. Every day, countless scouts leave the pass and go east, and countless people return with news.
Correspondingly, countless carriages came from Chang'an in the west, loaded with soldiers, armor and equipment, and entered the pass.
There were less than ten days left before the two months promised by Lin Ze. A kind of emotion called nervousness was weighing on the hearts of millions of people in Guan except Lin Ze.
At this moment, in the pass, in addition to the 700,000 troops belonging to Lin Ze and 200,000 civilians, there were nearly 500,000 private troops from various families.
In order to get a piece of the pie after the successful suppression of the rebellion, the dignitaries headed by Meng Xibai tried their best to achieve this goal. They stretched across the eight hundred miles of Chang'an and gathered almost all the miscellaneous troops except the Forbidden Army.
.
This is because two months is relatively short, otherwise these powerful people would not mind stretching their hands a little longer.
For example, the border army.
When Emperor Qin was on the throne, they naturally did not have the courage, but Emperor Qin passed away, and most of the masters who originally controlled the army died unexpectedly. Now, no one can suppress them.
Although Li Si and Zhao Gao were the masters and had a high status, they had little influence in the army, so they were allowed to do whatever they wanted.
Lin Ze noticed that the powerful people were working so hard. They were all in the same camp, so with a wave of his hand, Lin Ze designated a camp at Hangu Pass for them to garrison.
Of course, this kind of stationing is not without cost. Lin Ze clearly marked the price and charged 20% of the supplies.
That is to say, every time the private army transports grain and grass into the customs, they must leave 20% at the city gate.
Not only did the powerful people have no objections to this, but they were extremely happy with it. They could only control some ordinary supplies. For them with a big family and a big business, it was not worth mentioning.
Ignoring these things, Lin Ze was very attentive in training his army, and the training tasks he assigned became more and more important day by day.
In order to prevent the soldiers from being overwhelmed and causing physical collapse and disability, Lin Ze specially asked Qianyuan to make a decoction with a large amount of meat-eating herbs every day to nourish the soldiers.
If it weren't for the support of Hu Hai and the support of the entire Qin State, Duan Duan would not be able to do this.
However, this had reached its limit. Hu Hai even sent eunuchs to convey the oral instructions, and the treasury was almost exhausted.
Moreover, because of Chen She's rebellion, except for a few provinces west of Hangu Pass that were still paying taxes, taxes in other places had long been cut off, and the national treasury could not make ends meet.
Fortunately, after spending so many resources, it was not without gain. Compared with before the training, he was 700,000 young and strong, his physique was at least a bit stronger, and his whole body was full of evil energy.
It only takes a few bloody battles before he can be on par with the 100,000 veterans Zhou Shi brought with him.
To fight a war, it is not enough to rely on people alone. Armor, horses, weapons, crossbows, various mechanisms, poisons, etc. are all indispensable auxiliary materials.
For ordinary warriors, these are the things that determine life and death.
In Daqin, there is a special organization called Jiang Zuojian for the management and research and development of these.
And the supervision of the prison fell under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu.
As a young man, Lin Ze has so many good things in the prison. As long as he opens his mouth, there will be countless lists placed in front of him.
Then with a stroke of his pen, Lin Ze summoned everything that could be used on the battlefield.
The soldiers and equipment were ready. Lin Ze raised his head and looked to the north. The person he was waiting for was almost here.
While Lin Ze was deep in thought, a soldier reported: "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, a new army has arrived outside the pass, about 60,000 to 70,000 people, claiming to be under the command of the commander-in-chief. General Shi does not know whether it is true or not.
If you dare to put it in easily, please come here and ask the commander for instructions."
When Lin Ze heard this, a smile appeared on his face. He stood up without any hesitation and quickly walked out of the yard. His voice came from afar: "I'll go there personally."
The messenger soldier looked respectful and slowly exited Lin Ze's mansion.
Lin Ze quickly came to the city wall and looked at the silent army outside the city. After seeing the three familiar figures in front of him, he decisively ordered: "Open the city gate, let them in, and send someone to notify Qianyuan."
, let him arrange this army easily."
After receiving the order, the guard immediately arranged for the messengers to wave flags under the city wall, and then the huge iron gate was slowly pushed open by a group of soldiers.
The heroic-looking military general standing at the front of the army outside the city turned to the deputy general behind him and said: "You lead the army into the city, and someone will make arrangements for it. I need to pay a visit to a big shot, and I will come back to find you."
The deputy general was a little at a loss and said, "What about the other two generals?"
The heroic general wrote lightly: "They will go there with me."
After explaining casually, General Yingwu ignored the deputy general and turned to the other two young generals: "Let's go, follow me to see the military advisor."
After saying that, he jumped up, kept rising, and finally slowly landed on the city wall.
The other two young generals looked at each other and nodded, then flew towards the city wall together.
Obviously, these three people are all sixth-level warriors, and they can only leap forward after condensing their acupuncture points.
The three people fell in front of Lin Ze, all bowed and said in unison: "My subordinate Han Xin (Zhang Han and Li Xin) pays homage to the military advisor."
Lin Ze looked at the three people and nodded again and again: "Yes, one sixth-grade high-level and two sixth-grade juniors. It is worthy of my military advisor to provide you with so many high-level resources. I have not been disappointed."
Li Xin showed a complacent look on his face, and he was the first to reply: "Hey, that's natural. Military advisors are geniuses, and we are no different."
Han Xin replied: "It all depends on the training of military advisors. Han Xin is grateful."
This sentence came from Han Xin's heart. If Lin Ze hadn't "picked" him up in Chen County and took him under his command, he would have always trusted him and entrusted him with important responsibilities.
Not to mention that he could rely on secret techniques to raise his martial arts to the sixth level in less than ten years. I am afraid that he would have toiled all his life like his deceased teacher, stopped at the fourth level, and then died quietly.
Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "As long as you are aware of some things, this is not the place to talk. Just follow my military advisor back home."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the yard where he worked and lived, followed closely by the three of them.
…
In Lin Ze's mansion, after the guards brought tea and drinks, they closed the door and left. Lin Ze and the four of them were the only ones left in the entire study.
Lin Ze took a sip of tea and asked: "How many soldiers did you bring here this time? How is their quality?"
Han Xin quickly replied respectfully: "There are 70,000 troops in total, all of whom are the elite of the Northern Army."
Lin Ze smiled slightly and said, "It seems that you are doing well in the Northland Army."
Han Xin replied: "It all depends on the arrangement of the military adviser. The senior generals of the Northern Army took good care of me."
Lin Ze knew in his heart that because of Meng Tian's incident, he had reached a private agreement with the senior generals of the Northern Army. Since he introduced Han Xin, there was no reason for the other party not to take care of him. Otherwise, Lin Ze would investigate the matter and the Northern Army would
It won't be easy either up or down.
Of course, Lin Ze would not go too far, otherwise Lin Ze would not have an easy time if hundreds of thousands of elites were forced to rebel.
Lin Ze said with a serious look on his face: "Don't talk nonsense, my military advisor has summoned the three of you this time just to pacify the Chen thief. Please note that my military advisor does not have outstanding generals under his command. Next, he will lead the troops to fight, and also
I need to rely on you a lot."
The three of them looked at each other and said with excitement on their faces: "It all depends on the military advisor's orders."
As a military general, isn't it just to ride on the battlefield one day?
In their opinion, Lin Ze was giving them a chance. As for the lack of generals, maybe it was because of this, but it was definitely not because of this, because the three of them happened to know that in terms of their ability to command troops, they might not be bad, but the man in front of them
, equally unfathomable.
Lin Ze looked directly at Han Xin and said: "With your ability, how many troops can you lead?"
Han Xin's face became solemn, he thought for a moment and said: "The maximum is five hundred thousand. After this number, I will not be able to unite the general force."
If another person asked this question, Han Xin would definitely answer that the more the better. But when Lin Ze asked this question, Han Xin was sure that what Lin Ze was asking was not how many troops he could lead, but how many armies he could gather.
Lin Ze nodded: "In that case, in addition to your 50,000 troops, I will give you another 400,000 troops to serve as the main force to fight against the rebels in ten days."
Han Xin stood up, put his right hand on his chest, and said in military salute: "General, I will obey your order."
Lin Ze then turned to Zhang Han and Li Xin and asked: "You two have led the army independently for several years and have been training in the North for a period of time. How many troops do you think you can lead?"
Li Xin stood up, patted his chest and said, "Although I'm not as perverted as General Han, I can lead an army of 100,000 without any problem."
Zhang Han also said solemnly: "With an army of one hundred thousand, we will definitely not disappoint the military advisor."
Lin Ze stared at the two people and saw that they accepted it calmly. Thinking of the two people in later history who were equally stunning, a smile appeared on his face and said:
"Okay, my military advisor will give you two hundred thousand troops respectively to serve as partial troops to assist Han Xin in fighting the rebels. If you have made meritorious service, my military advisor will personally request credit from your majesty on your behalf."
Both of them said with joy on their faces: "Thank you, military advisor, for your trust."
Zhang Han suddenly seemed to remember something and said: "As far as I know, the military advisor has a total of 700,000 troops, and 600,000 were assigned at once. Military advisor..."
Lin Ze didn't take it seriously and said: "Don't worry, my military advisor does not lead troops to fight, fishing, 50,000 troops are enough."
The expressions on the three people's faces were strange. The military advisor was probably planning something, and he didn't know which unlucky guy would bump into them.
