AD 242, the fifth year of Shaowu, the third month of spring.
The Jianshui River (Tuojiang River) originates from the Minshan Mountains. After exiting the Jintang Gorge of Longquan Mountain in the east, it winds through Niutian County in Jianwei County, Zizhong County and Han'an County, and finally merges into the river in Jiangyang County.
This waterway is the first choice for transporting materials from Shu to Jiangzhou.
Therefore, the two sides of the Jianshui River (Tuojiang River) in Qianwei County are now lined with streets and bustling with people, and countless young people are busy plowing in the spring amid the calls of cuckoos.
They were all prisoners of the Wei army before, but now they are part of the Han Xinjian's Zhechong army.
Those who break and charge can defeat the enemy and win.
As the name suggests, the army has an inexplicable fanaticism about defeating the enemy.
Because the Han Dynasty did not turn them into military households, but only had to serve for three years before they were exempted from the status of prisoners and could decide whether to continue to stay in the army.
As for what you will do for a living after leaving the army~
The Han Dynasty had a reward policy for the soldiers who broke up and charged, and beheadings were used to mark meritorious service, granting land and obtaining rewards.
Whether they can obtain the land to support themselves and whether they can accumulate enough wealth to settle down and marry a wife, everything depends on their own efforts.
Naturally, if they have stayed in the Zhechong army for three years, but have never been in battle or have not been beheaded, but still do not want to use swords and spears as soldiers, they will still have a way to survive.
For example, they could work as tenants for the imperial court.
The imperial court would assign acres of land to them and let them cultivate it for the country for free for a few years before granting them the land. They would also work as coolies for the government in salt wells, iron mines, etc. for several years to earn a living.
It is this way of removing one's armor that will make colleagues who have established achievements and local people look down upon.
If you want to settle down and marry a wife, it will be even more difficult.
And if those who do not want to remove their armor and still want to serve in the army will be transferred to the army led by other generals, the treatment and promotion system of the army will be the same as that of Han soldiers, and there will be no distinction between them.
If you fight for your own treatment, your enthusiasm will naturally rise.
These Zhechong troops were inspired by the bright prospects. Not only did they work hard in the field, but they also worked very hard in daily military exercises. Their enthusiasm even shocked Zheng Pu, Guan Xing and other generals.
Originally, they thought that in order to restore the morale and courage of the Zhechong Army, it would take at least half a year of hard work and strict military disciplines to restrain them!
Who would have thought that they would be so "aware" of evil?
However, this situation is a good thing.
Zheng Pu thought that since they were so knowledgeable, it would be better to give them more training intensity.
Anyway, the military spirit is available.
It should be "sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime".
Furthermore, Zheng Pu wanted them to be completely accustomed to the orders and prohibitions in the army, and to make it instinctive to prepare for battle with swords and spears. After three years, few of them would remove their armor and return to their fields.
From a new soldier to a veteran soldier, you need to go through the process of recruiting, practicing martial arts and surviving in battle several times.
Being eliminated on the fierce battlefield is like a big wave washing away the sand.
Therefore, every veteran soldier can be called an elite and the absolute backbone of the expedition.
Now that the imperial court has not returned to the old capital and the Han Dynasty has not yet been restored, how can the old soldiers with outstanding fighting ability easily disarm and return to their fields?
At least, Zheng Pu felt it was a pity.

Jingnan, Wuchang.
The chariot of Sun Quan, Lord of Wu, traveled more than twenty miles to meet Lu Xun and returned with him.
After he reached a consensus with Cao Rui of Luoyang and drove troops into Jingxiang, the Han Dynasty closed the pass and terminated the trade between the two countries. Moreover, he repeatedly ordered envoys to bring letters of credence to Shu, but whether it was Yong'an or Hanzhong
The Golden Garrison did not allow the envoys to enter, but the credentials were passed on, but there was no response.
This made him very anxious.
Because he also knew that when the Wei State's Yongliang army and Luoyang's central army retreated, they deliberately gave up the space where the Han army could defend Xixian, Qixian and Qishan, and vaguely allowed the Han army to switch troops and return to attack.
The meaning of Wu State.
In fact, both he and Zhu Ran, who settled in Xiangyang City, felt that war was coming.
Due to the confidentiality relationship, when the Prime Minister sent Zheng Pu, Guan Xing and others back to Shu, he did not publicize their changes in official positions with great fanfare. This also made people in Jiangdong who were unable to know the news think that the Prime Minister was the governor Zheng Pu.
He and Guan Xing and other troops have returned to Hanzhong County, and will send troops to the three eastern counties from Huanghuangxia!
In response, he asked General Tang to supervise his headquarters in Shangyong, under the control of Zhu Ran, and to monitor the actions of the Han army at all times.
Lu Dai, on the other hand, stayed in Jiangling City to serve as the backup for Zhu Ran and the troops stationed in Xiling Gorge, taking into account the safety of Dongsanjun and Yong'an.
Naturally, Lu Xun, who had the highest military rank in the Wu Kingdom, was also recruited by him to serve as the Grand Governor of Jingzhou and the governor of various military affairs.
Because there is really no one available to him.
It is also impossible to separate.
The prince Sun Deng died of illness last year. In the first month of this year, he had just appointed Sun He as the prince. It was the time when the East Palace was undergoing changes. He could not leave the temple without permission and cause turmoil.
As for appeasing the powerful families in Wu, let Quan Cong take over.
In fact, when Lu Xun was in Jianye, he wrote a book to advise Sun Quan on how to defend it.
Very simple tactic: drag.
He claimed that the two countries, Han and Wei, were mortal enemies, and that the State of Wu had given up its treaty and was angry with the Han Dynasty.
The two are not the same.
Therefore, if the Han army invades in anger, Jiangdong only needs to hold on to the city and delay the war. When the Han army feels that there is no profit, they will automatically stop their troops and return.
After all, returning to the old capital is the long-cherished wish of the Han Dynasty.
To fight to the death with Jiangdong and force the Wei State to reap the benefits is to sacrifice the good and pursue the weak.
Although Emperor Zhaolie had insisted on raising troops in the past, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang would not make such a mistake. Even if he could not calm down his anger for a while, he would definitely accept the facts after the war lasted for a long time.
Of course, during this period, Wu Guoke could continue to show his goodwill to the Han army.
For example, he repeatedly wrote letters of credence to allow Bashu to reopen trade, and in the form of profit transfer, it showed that the Wu State was not sincere in being an enemy of the Han Dynasty.
In terms of defensive deployment, Lu Xun felt that the focus should not be on the three eastern counties, but on Yong'an and Jiaozhou.
The reason is simple.
First, when the Han army left the three eastern counties from Hanzhong, it was easy to advance and difficult to retreat, so it was not an ideal place for conquest.
Moreover, even if the Han army occupied places such as Xicheng and Shangyong, it would not bring them any benefits. On the contrary, they had to beware of the Wei State sending troops from Ziwu Valley to attack with the Wu State.
The other was the previous Liao Shi rebellion.
The Han army could not turn a blind eye to this rebellion that lasted for more than a year and caused turmoil in the counties and counties in Jingnan and Jiaozhou. They would also take advantage of the unrest in these places to send troops in order to get twice the result with half the effort.
Sun Quan deeply agreed with Lu Xun's suggestion.
But Sun Quan thought about it for a while and decided to recruit him to Jiangling to take charge.
Whether it was to allow Lu Dai to go to Jiaozhou to take charge, or to use his record in the battle of Yiling to reassure the common people and generals in Jingnan.
No coincidence.
At this time, both the government and the public in Wei were waiting for the outbreak of war between Han and Wu.
