Since Shang Yang's reform, Qin's definition of the three armies has been different from other countries.
The three armies of the Six Kingdoms are either front, center and rear, or left, center and right.
However, the three armies of Qin State are composed of strong men, strong women, old and weak.
"The strong men form one army, the strong women form one army, and the old and weak men and women form one army. This is called the three armies!" (Note 1)
Among them, the strong men are serving as soldiers and fighting in the front.
Strong women are responsible for transporting supplies, digging traps, etc. on the second line.
The old and weak are engaged in production in the rear to supply the front lines.
These three armies are usually strictly prohibited from interacting with each other.
Because Shang Yang believed that if a "strong man" comes into contact with a "strong woman", he will become distraught.
If "strong men" come into contact with "old and weak" people, their morale will be low.
Either way will affect combat effectiveness.
However, Shen Bing and others are also engineering soldiers on the second line. Strictly speaking, they do not belong to the category of "strong men".
Therefore, it is inevitable to come into contact with "strong women".
And these "strong women" seem to need their help...
Shouting slogans all the way while pushing the carriage up the steep slope.
After finally finishing more than a dozen vehicles in mud and water, the female general shouted again:
"Turn back!"
"next batch!"
This time Xun panicked.
"General!"
Before he finished speaking, the female general whipped him over with a whip.
"Is military service more important or supply more important?"
"You must know that these are ex-military arrows!"
"If it cannot be delivered to the troops on time, it will definitely affect the outcome!"
"Move it immediately without delay. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"
Shen Bing hurriedly stepped forward to protect Xun and saw a blood mark on his shoulder.
"Master, are you okay?"
Xun frowned and shook his head and sighed:
"Skin injuries are nothing to worry about!"
"only……"
As he spoke, he sighed again, and then returned according to the female general's order.
He secretly sent someone to inform Chen Wei.
Chen Wei is Xun's immediate boss, so of course he needs to be brought out to handle this matter.
Soon Chen Wei arrived in a hurry.
At the beginning, he was arrogant and confident.
Because the fortification was ordered by Yang Duanhe.
The Qin State was governed by legalism, and no one could change orders at will.
But as soon as Chen Wei saw the female general, he immediately shrunk by half and didn't even have the courage to step forward and ask.
"Do you know who that is?" Chen Wei whispered.
"Who?" Xun thought to himself that something was wrong when he heard this tone.
"She is Yang Ting!" Chen Wei replied.
Xun couldn't help but gasped when he heard the words: "The general's young daughter Yang Ting?"
"Exactly!" Chen Wei nodded.
Shen Bing didn't think it was anything, but the craftsmen around him couldn't help but be moved when they heard the name.
This Yang Ting is no ordinary "strong woman".
She has been fond of military art and horseback shooting since she was a child, and has practiced martial arts.
Yang Duanhe originally thought that Yang Ting was just learning to play when she had nothing to do, so she just let it go, occasionally tapping it a few times.
Unexpectedly, a few years ago, the Zhao army sent a thousand elite soldiers to sneak attack the Qin army's grain transport team during the war, but Yang Ting led five hundred strong women to kill them and returned without success.
Only then did Yang Duanhe realize that the young girl was not just "playing for fun", so he was overjoyed and entrusted him with the important task of school captain.
Not only was she responsible for the logistics and transportation of the army, but she was also asked to train strong women to protect the supply lines.
Most of the craftsmen such as Xun were low-level soldiers with low titles who took turns serving in the army, so they were "unable to see the mountains".
This time it was hard work for Xun and the other craftsmen.
Xun looked at the carriages that stretched for miles near the city gate, and then asked Chen Wei awkwardly:
"Sir, what should we do?"
"There are hundreds of carriages!"
"It will take at least three hours to transport them all up the steep slope!"
"As a result, we are afraid that we will not be able to repair the Great Wall as scheduled..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Wei.
"Is it possible that you still want to disobey the captain (Yang Ting)'s order?"
"You must know that disobeying orders is also a capital crime!"
"Now that things have happened, you are the only one who can figure it out on your own!"
After saying that, he walked away as if he was getting rid of a lot of trouble, leaving only the waiting carpenters staring.
Shen Bing finally figured it out and asked:
"What the stingy man just said..."
"'It's also a capital crime'!"
"What does 'also' mean?"
Everyone was speechless, only Cang replied with a pale face:
"Disobedience is death!"
"If you miss the construction date, you will die!"
"I'm going to die anyway!"
"That's what it means!"
Shen Bing:......
What the hell is this happening?
Or force people to death?
Let me tell my superiors the whole story. It's not that we are lazy, but something like that...
Wouldn't it be nice to be accommodating then?
However, looking at the faces of Xun and others, Shen Bing knew that his idea was too simple.
The world is so unreasonable, especially for little soldiers like Shen Bing.
This may be the characteristic of Qin’s legalist governance.
There is nothing wrong with "ruling the country by law", and it should even be "ruling the country by law".
It should even be said that "enforcement must be strict" and "violations must be prosecuted".
However, the set of laws established by the Legalists in ancient times were not perfect enough and contained many unreasonable aspects.
Such as being too harsh.
Another example is that it is self-contradictory and leaves people at a loss as to what to do.
This is also the reason for Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising...
They were prevented from arriving as scheduled by heavy rain, which was a capital offense according to law.
Either way, both are dead, so it's better to do the opposite!
So it was the opposite.
Violently reversed!
At this time, Shen Bing and others encountered a similar situation.
But Shen Bing can't imitate Chen Sheng, Wu Guang rebelled...
Putting aside Chen Sheng, Wu Guang failed in the end.
The Dazexiang Uprising will also be 20 years later!
The Qin State is still at its peak. It has just destroyed South Korea and is preparing to destroy Zhao State.
Are you going to rebel now?
I think my life is long enough!
At this time, Yang Ting pulled the horse's head and came back. When she saw Xun and others gathered together, she shouted sharply:
"What are you waiting for?"
"Hurry up and push the cart!"
"If you miss a military flight, you are the only one who will ask!"
Xun Xun said "Promise" and just waited to lead everyone to the carriage.
Shen Bing looked at the carriage and then at the muddy steep slope. After thinking about it, he turned to Yang Ting and said:
"Lord Captain!"
"Should I just wait and send the carriage up the steep slope?"
"No matter what method?"
Yang Ting looked back on her horse and saw a thin soldier standing in the rain speaking, and she couldn't help but feel bitter:
"Of course it just needs to be transported up the steep slope!"
"Who cares what method you use?"
Shen Bing asked again: "Is this true?"
Yang Ting was a little angry, and she replied impatiently with a disdainful tone:
"It's true!"
"Would this lieutenant of mine still want to bully you, a private servant?"
The trademark of a public servant is that he has his hair twisted to the right into an upturned bun, so he can be recognized at a glance.
Shen Bing was not angry when he received Yang Ting's contemptuous look.
He was secretly happy to get Yang Ting's promise.
He took a few steps and ran to Xun, who was working with the craftsman to push the cart, and said:
