What Wei Wei said was reasonable and well-founded, so Shen Bing couldn't help but believe it.
In fact, what is more important is that the scene where the people of Wei State rushed to welcome the Black Armored Army had an impact on Shen Bing.
Those were organized voluntarily by the common people. Without the Qin army forcing them, they were not all dependents of the Black Armored Army. A considerable number of them were unrelated common people.
This illustrates a problem: the hearts of the people of Wei have turned to Qin.
This was a bit unimaginable for Shen Bing, because the speed was a bit fast and he didn't have time to adapt.
Thinking about it later, Shen Bing thought this was normal.
First of all, the most important thing is that this is not a war with foreigners but within the Central Plains. The boundaries between countries are never obvious, especially for ordinary people.
Secondly, the king of Wei is hypocritical and unkind. As mentioned before, the people's hearts are more likely to change if the king is unkind.
Thirdly, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, various parts of the Central Plains have been at war with each other for hundreds of years. The people have been eager for reunification, for peace, and for an end to the war.
At this time, Qin was the most promising country to unify the Central Plains.
Before the unification of the Central Plains, the Qin State's legalist approach and spirit of governing the country were still very popular with the people. This system was fairer compared to the other six countries, and it also gave the people the opportunity to enter the upper class nobility, so of course it was more popular with the people. .
Therefore, it is a pity that the Qin Dynasty declared its demise in just 14 years.
There is a saying that “after great chaos there must be great order.”
The chaos that lasted for hundreds of years started in the Spring and Autumn Period. Once the country was unified, no one wanted to go to war, they just wanted to farm and live a good life.
However, after unifying the Central Plains, Ying Zheng changed his temperament and made chaos. In addition, Qin II continued to act recklessly under the control of Zhao Gao, so what should have been a "great governance" situation turned into "officials forcing the people to rebel".
So "Dazhi" appeared in the Han Dynasty.
If none of these appeared, then shouldn't the "great rule" be the Qin Dynasty?
The soldiers and civilians of the Wei State in front of them are also the people of the Central Plains, and they also subconsciously have the desire for "great governance". It is not surprising that the people's hearts will turn to the Qin State so quickly...
After thinking about this, Shen Bing made up his mind.
He said to Yang Duanhe:
"General, my subordinates think that we should select 100,000 elite soldiers from the 200,000 surrendered troops."
"This way our army can attack Chu."
Yang Duan and Xiang Xiang felt that they had no other choice and could only nod in agreement.
However, these matters are not something they can decide. In the end, Ying Zheng's nod is needed... This is a matter for a hundred thousand troops. Who dares to make the decision without Ying Zheng's consent? Are you afraid that he will rebel?
Yang Duanhe and Shen Bing thought this matter was extremely difficult.
Because even Yang Duanhe and Shen Bing had concerns, how could Ying Zheng agree so easily?
Unexpectedly, the reply Ying Zheng received a few days later was:
"There is a precedent of training the Black Armored Army and defeating the Chu Army. I think this is feasible."
"The general can organize and train his troops according to the needs of the war!"
What Yang Duanhe and Shen Bing didn't know was that the suspicious Ying Zheng certainly couldn't trust these Wei Jiangbing.
But then I thought about it, this was Shen Bing's suggestion... Can the person sent by the gods to help him be wrong?
So I didn't even discuss it with other people, I just agreed with a stroke of a pen.
Yang Duanhe couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately asked Shen Bing to order the troops.
Shen Bing was dumbfounded and quickly raised his hands and said:
"General, my subordinates are just suggesting this. They have never said that they want to lead this army."
"Not to mention that I have to command the Black Armored Army..."
Unexpectedly, Yang Duanhe responded without thinking:
"Wei Jiangbing has already regarded you as a benefactor."
"Besides, you have a precedent of successfully training the Black Armored Army. Who will lead it if you don't lead it?"
When Shen Bing heard this, it really made sense, so he could only order his troops in despair.
At that time, Jiang Bing was struggling to build a road in the mud outside the city. When they saw Shen Bing and Wei Wei approaching, they stopped what they were doing and cast expectant glances at them.
No wonder they are like this.
Shen Bing had selected soldiers from them before, and after selecting the soldiers, he successfully formed the Black Armored Army and even defeated the Chu Army and was promoted to a noble title.
They were originally soldiers, and they were supposed to fight the enemy on the battlefield and make achievements.
Who would want to stay here and do hard labor?
Who would want to starve to death, tire to death, or freeze to death here?
They may not be afraid of death, but they are afraid of this kind of death without dignity.
Even when I hear it back home, it sounds like two different things:
One is that someone starved to death on a construction site.
The other is that someone died on the battlefield...
Although they both died, the former died of humiliation and hatred, while the latter died of pride for the ancestors, and even brought titles and houses to their families, so they are quite different.
Shen Bing nodded towards Wei Wei.
Wei Wei respectfully raised his hand to Shen Bing, and then said in a voice trembling with excitement:
"The school captain has been ordered by the king to come and order one hundred thousand troops. I am willing to join the army and wait in line to wait for the order!"
The surrendering soldiers couldn't help but burst into cheers.
I don’t know who shouted:
"Thank you Captain, thank you Colonel Zuo!"
Then the cheers of the surrendering soldiers soon turned into a chorus of thanksgiving, with some even kneeling down and kowtowing, while others burst into tears.
At this moment, Shen Bing knew that his decision was right.
Wei Wei was right. The surrendered soldiers had actually wanted to return to Qin for a long time, but they just didn't have a good chance as Wei soldiers.
After thinking about it, Shen Bing couldn't help but sigh secretly.
This time he can only recruit 100,000 troops, which means... there are still nearly 100,000 troops who will continue to do hard labor.
It will be difficult for these 100,000 people to get ahead.
The reason is very simple. The ones left after being picked several times mean that they are old and weak soldiers... The Wei army is weak in combat, and there are not a few such soldiers.
Although the Qin army was promoted to nobility based on military merit, it did not raise useless people.
Just like...
When Shen Bing thought about Xun's suffering at this time, he couldn't help but feel sad.
Since coming to this world, Shen Bing has tried hard to disguise himself as strong, but deep down in his heart he is still stung by an inadvertent association.
Wei Wei will handle the matter of ordering troops.
Shen Bing was called again by Yang Duanhe within half an hour.
Yang Duanhe took a copy of the bamboo slips and said in panic:
"Captain, I just received a letter from the King."
"The king asked us what strategy we have for attacking Chu? When will we send troops to attack Chu?"
Shen Bing was shocked by these words.
Another meaning of "when to send troops" is to urge them to send troops.
Don’t we have to wait until next spring before sending out troops?
At this time, I am asking when will we attack Chu?
The troops haven't been ordered yet and haven't been trained yet!
But it turned out that it was Ying Zheng who successfully captured Zhao, Wei and Yan, and then defeated Yan. After acting as a coalition force, he became a little restless.
In fact, this is only part of the reason.
In addition to being arrogant, there is also the idea that "we are destined to unify the Central Plains with the help of gods and gods, so why should we be afraid of those monsters and monsters"...
So wouldn't it be possible to destroy Chu earlier and unify the Central Plains if we send out troops earlier?
