my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 157
There are expectations, there are blessings, and there are curses.

The eldest grandson of the emperor who jumped up quickly and became the new favorite of the Great Qin Dynasty, went to conquer the Huns. Many people naturally have different thoughts.But these are not important to Zhao Ying.

With the presence of the First Emperor, the presence of the old general Wang Jian, the presence of Meng Wu, the presence of old clans such as Meng Xibai, and the forces that still firmly support the eldest son Fusu, even if some people have small thoughts, no one How dare you play tricks behind your back.

With the Xiliu broken by Wang Nan himself, and the scrutinizing eyes of countless people behind him, the young army led by Zhao Ying finally left Xianyang and went straight to Jiuyuan.

This is the first time the recruits have traveled far since the camp was formed.

On that day, the team did not move fast. At night, they set up camp in the wild for a simple rest.Although located in Guanzhong, it was very safe, but Zhao Ying still had people staring at him, setting up his camp meticulously, and strictly arranging his defenses.

Continue to leave early the next morning, and officially walk out of Xianyang when the evening is approaching.

After leaving Xianyang, we are still in Guanzhong, but we can clearly feel the exhaustion of people's livelihood.The official road is still well maintained, but the cottages on both sides no longer have the atmosphere near Xianyang, and the ruins can be seen faintly.

The Great Qin fought for decades, and even though it unified the world, it still had an irreparable impact on the people's livelihood in Guanzhong. Many people had disheveled faces and ragged clothes.

But the crops on both sides of the official road are still planted in a uniform manner.

The government of Daqin has strongly intervened in the lives of the people.The roads are maintained regularly, and the distance between the trees on both sides is strictly regulated. In the fields, the rice paddies are interlinked, so rigorous that the borders between each field are exactly the same, and all the crops are planted horizontally and vertically, like pacesetters.

How to plant and what to plant are all supervised and guided by special officials.

No matter how big or small, there are laws to follow.

Ordinary people don't need to worry about anything, they just need to follow the government's regulations and work honestly, and the work is done, and the legalist philosophy can be described as vividly reflected.

It has been more than 100 years since Shang Yang's reform, and the people in Guanzhong have already been trained to look like the Great Qin Legalists.

But the nobles and common people in the land of Shandong, without the buffer of time, are somewhat dissatisfied.

This is also the first time that Zhao Ying has traveled far after traveling. Although he tried to avoid villages and towns all the way and only took the official road, everything he saw gave him a deeper understanding of this era.

But these are not the questions that he should think about now.

The third day out of Xianyang.

Zhao Ying ordered the logistics to fry more than a dozen catties of fried noodles for each of the soldiers, and then left the auxiliary soldiers in charge of logistics behind him. Everyone only brought their own equipment and rations, and one person and three horses marched in a hurry .

He needs to take advantage of this opportunity to conduct a high-intensity training session.

When you are hungry, eat a few bites of fried noodles, eat a few mouthfuls of hard jerky, and when you are tired, find a place in the leeward, circle the horses together, wrap up your capes, lie down on the ground, and take a simple rest.

Other than that, just hurry.

Changing horses without changing people, he raced more than 260 miles a day.

Although this speed is already jaw-droppingly fast in this era, it is actually not an exaggeration.

The post post in the Tang Dynasty had express regulations that the Luyi fast horse traveled 6 post a day, that is, 180 miles, and it was about to travel 300 miles a day, and the fastest required was 500 miles a day.Of course, marching and fighting is not like a post post, and the physical exhaustion of war horses needs to be considered.

Otherwise, when people arrive and the horse is exhausted, it will be meaningless.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Xiahou Dun had five hundred in three days and one thousand in six days.But the situation of Zhao Ying and others was much better than that of Xiahoudun. First of all, there were enough horses. Everyone had three horses per person, and they could ride in rotation, so their speed was naturally faster.

Moreover, all of Zhao Ying's troops were equipped with Takahashi saddles and stirrups, and all the war horses were also equipped with horseshoes.Compared with Xiahou Dun at that time, although the journey was longer, the physical exertion of the soldiers was actually smaller, and the wear and tear of the horses was much better.

What's more, Zhao Ying's troops have been full of meat every day for the past few months!

This group of young men who are growing their bodies, eat a lot of fish and meat every day, undergo high-intensity training, and have an excellent physical foundation, which is far from comparable to those of Xiahou Dun's men.

Therefore, these young people who have been training in the recruit camp quickly adapted to the intensity of this rapid march.

On the contrary, Xiao He, Liu Ji, Cao Can, and Lu Wan, who joined the army later, were a bit lacking in support, but seeing everyone, no one complained, no one cried tired, so they could only grit their teeth and hold on. Does not fall.

"Could it be that I'm in a hurry to go to the funeral, Cao Shen, that bastard, can screw me to death—"

Taking advantage of the break, Liu Dating, supported by Lu Wan and Fan Kui, slid off the horse with grinning teeth.After several days of rapid marching, blood blisters had already been worn between his thighs.

Fortunately, there are high-strength saddles and stirrups, as well as the help of Fan Kui and Lu Wan, otherwise he would have to be knocked down halfway with the intensity of this hasty march.

Unlike the rest of Zhao Ying's subordinates, Liu Ji didn't exercise on a daily basis, and he was a little too old, so he couldn't stand it anymore.

However, Zhao Ying, the chief general, didn't say a word, and Li Xin, who was a little older than him, acted as if nothing had happened. Let alone Liu Dating, he had no right to be tired, even if he had, he couldn't afford to lose that person.But in private, I have already greeted the eighteen generations of Cao Shen's ancestors countless times in my heart.

If it wasn't for Cao Shen, that dog thief, to recommend him, why did he come to suffer this crime?
The family just married a charming little lady!
Not hot enough yet——

Find a place with a leeward wind, carefully pick away the blood blisters on the two thighs, grin your teeth and apply the golden sore medicine, then lie down on the dirt slope behind you cursing, close your eyes, and take the time to rest.

Xiao He and Cao Shen on the side were no better than him. They were both civil servants when they were in Pei County, so how could they have suffered this crime.However, unlike Chief Liu Dating's complaint, the two of them were shocked in their hearts when they were exhausted.

Have you ever heard of someone's army that can travel more than 260 miles a day without incident?
Simply appalling.

This army is a bit scary!
Therefore, while the body is extremely tired, the heart is a little inexplicably hot.

Also a little tired, and Han Xin——

When he was in Huaiyin in his early years, he often didn’t have enough to eat, so although he was tall, his bones were actually very weak. Although he had enough meat every day after joining the military camp and exercised a lot of intensity, compared with other young people, his physical strength was still weak. Some deficiencies.

On weekdays, there is still no difference. Once the high-intensity march is made, his physical strength will obviously not be able to keep up.

But his performance was far from what Liu Ji and Xiao He could compare with.

From the beginning to the end, he kept his body upright and said nothing.

Everywhere he went, he deployed his soldiers as usual, patrolled the camp, and then curled up in his cloak, closed his eyes, and seized every moment of rest.

Fortunately, most of the more than 100 disciples under him, including Kuai Tong, were left by Zhao Ying except for a few who were good at martial arts and hoped that they could stay in the army. Xianyang.

Now, Zhao Ying has opened a mansion and built teeth, and the eldest son's mansion cannot be left alone to deal with daily affairs, so the resourceful Kuai Tong was left in the mansion by Zhao Ying.

Otherwise, those people may not be able to survive with the intensity of the march.

Unlike other people's fatigue, Zhao Ying didn't feel the intensity of the march, and even wore armor weighing more than 100 catties all the time.Compared with ordinary soldiers, the only abnormal thing about him is that he eats a lot.

Even if the amount of food is controlled, a meal must be at least a dozen catties of meat.

This made him have to buy game from time to time during the march.

What happened by mistake was that because of this, his prestige in this team has been increasing day by day, almost reaching its peak. Now, the whole team, up and down, look at him like a god.

Even Liu Ji, who has always been carefree, has to say admiration in his heart.

There is no way, Zhao Ying's way of hunting is somewhat inhuman.

The five-stone strong bow bestowed by the first emperor himself can be hundreds of paces away, and it doesn't matter if you hit it with a hundred shots. The key is that sometimes when he gets in the mood, he doesn't need a bow and arrow at all. , running all the way.

Speeding like lightning, the whole person is like a human-shaped lightning, the speed is unbelievably fast.

Not to mention beasts, galloping horses are far behind.

In front of him, the beast in the mountains, whose voice is changed by ordinary people, is as weak as a chicken, kneading it at will.

Especially, when everyone watched him hold a tiger weighing hundreds of catties with ease with his bare hands, then pulled the fur on the top of his head and dragged it back with one hand, everyone's eyes changed completely. .

Although I have long heard that the eldest grandson of the emperor has the ability to surpass Xiong Zhen, hearing the rumors and seeing it with my own eyes are two completely different sensory impacts.

Mu Qiang in the army.

His own general is so strong that he looks like a god, as a subordinate, who doesn't like it?

Why did Xiang Yu have such a high prestige in the army back then?

A large part of the reason is that his personal force is too strong!

All the subordinates regard him as the god of war!

Now, Zhao Ying's situation is almost like this.

Not to mention those ordinary soldiers, even Li Xin, who is well-informed, was taken aback by Zhao Ying's performance. Is this still surprising?
Therefore, Zhao Ying's order was unimpeded, and it was executed without any discount.

After a short rest, the army set off again.With the help of Fan Kuai and Lu Wan, Liu Ji gritted his teeth and climbed onto the horse again, grabbed the reins and swore fiercely.

"I've spent time with you—"

This time, it's too miserable. If I don't get credit for it, then I'm really at a loss. I can't go back empty-handed.

Marching in a hurry, in just four days, he ran more than 1000 miles!
Therefore, on the eighth day after leaving Xianyang, when Zhao Ying led the 3000-strong army and appeared under the city of Shangjun, Wang Ben, the main general in the city, was completely dumbfounded.

Almost thought it was an enemy raid.

What march speed is this?

You know, there is just a message from the post station passing Chidao!

According to the normal marching speed, it is not an exaggeration to travel from Xianyang to Shangjun for a month. Even if it is faster, it will take more than [-] days.How long did it take Zhao Ying and the others?
eight days!

Simply unimaginable!
"How did you come here so fast?"

Even if he came out of the city and saw Zhao Ying, Li Xin, Wang Li and others with his own eyes, Wang Ben still couldn't help but look surprised, raised his head slightly, and looked at Zhao Ying who was tall and different from ordinary people in disbelief.

Wang Ben had naturally met Zhao Ying before, but in recent months, Zhao Ying has grown a little bit faster, growing more than 20 centimeters, and now he has become a boy with a height of more than two meters, taller than him. It is as tall as a head, and it seems to be full of a strong sense of visual oppression.

What's more, compared with the handsome Fusu, Zhao Ying is more similar to the first emperor in appearance, not only in appearance, but also in height!
The first emperor was nearly two meters tall.

Moreover, because during this period of time, Zhao Ying and the first emperor lived together day and night. In order to gain the favor of the first emperor, Zhao Ying's every move was subconsciously imitating the first emperor. Therefore, Zhao Ying at this time, at a glance, looked like a young Standing there, like the first emperor, he was not angry and majestic.When he spoke, his tone and expression all carried the three-point charm of the first emperor.

Even though he was an old man, he couldn't help subconsciously being in awe.

"These teenagers practice day and night and work hard far beyond ordinary people. His Highness treats them generously, eating three meals a day and eating enough meat. Therefore, everyone is healthy and healthy. In addition to this trip, another person The three horses can be ridden in turns, and the speed is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary troops..."

Without Zhao Ying's answer, Li Xin, who was standing behind Zhao Ying, stood up and replied calmly.

This army grew up under his nose.

He had never seen soldiers who worked so hard, and he had never seen such active soldiers. In this group of people, he seemed to see himself when he was young.

In his eyes, everyone here is Daqin's baby bump.

There is also his hard work of Li Xin.

Therefore, when he mentioned these things, he felt honored and couldn't help the pride in his heart.As a general, if he could bring out such an army in his lifetime, he would be proud of himself all his life.

Looking at Li Xin, who had regained his former radiance, Wang Ben couldn't help laughing.

"Good! As expected of the soldiers and horses brought out by His Highness and General Li himself!"

After speaking, he turned sideways to get out of the way.

"Please enter the city, Your Highness and the General—"

Zhao Ying waved his hand, and the army automatically adjusted its formation and marched in. Wang Ben couldn't help but shine again with his uniform and natural movements.

Everyone is a veteran who has led the army for many years, so it is natural to see how strong the discipline of this army is.

Although these people have experienced high-intensity long-distance raids and travels, but all of them have bright eyes, full of energy, and all of them are straight and motionless.

This performance alone is enough to be called an elite soldier in the world!
"sharp--"

Wang Ben couldn't help sighing again.

"It's really a formidable young man. In just a few months, he was able to train such a strong soldier. His Highness's ability to lead troops is not as good as a minister—"

Zhao Ying couldn't help but burst out laughing, and smiled at the old man.

"Admiral General, given you so many resources, you can also bring out such..."

It looks amazing, but in fact, this thing really doesn't have any special skills, it's just made with money!

For this army, with the open support from the First Emperor, coupled with Zhao Ying's private subsidies, the money and food consumed by this army of more than [-] recruits is already enough to support an army of ten soldiers. Thousands of troops!

This is not counting the art of war provided by Zhao Ying, and the human cost of Zhao Ying and Li Xin personally teaching the art of war.
