my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 159 Yin Tong: Then We Have a Chance!

Zhao Ying was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

In his memory, Fusu had always been very strict with him and Zhao Qi, not to mention taking the initiative to drink with him, even if he secretly drank a little, he would be punished.

Today, obviously, I am treating myself as an adult.

Although Fusu offered to drink, the two of them didn't drink much, and they simply made a point, even if they fell down, but the father and son let go of a lot of knots because of this.

The two of them tacitly didn't mention any political affairs, but casually talked about some parents' grievances, or the customs and customs of Shangjun. They were all picking up some relaxing and happy things, so the father and son had a very good meal. It's relaxed and harmonious.

"Come here first today, you don't need to stay with me here, you have been marching in a hurry these days, the road is hard, go back and rest first..."

After eating, Fusu didn't stay any longer, and spoke up on his own initiative.

Zhao Ying was not polite either, and got up very simply to leave.

The result of today's meeting far exceeded his expectations. He was really afraid that the elder son would put on the airs of being a father and give him an education. Looking at it now, it's not bad.

Perhaps, the honing during this period in Shangjun changed him a lot.

Looking at the back of Zhao Ying striding away, Fu Su's eyes were fixed, and he remained silent for a long time.

In the past, I didn't do a good job with this Aunt, and ignored this child. Now, since this child is promising and I am willing to cultivate him, then from now on, I should also learn to do something for this child!

But Fusu can't do much.

He had already been expelled from the power center of Xianyang by the first emperor, and now the first emperor has not made a clear statement, and he cannot clearly let those forces that are still waiting for his return to serve his son.

The only thing I can do now is to let this son walk more steadily on the path chosen by the first emperor.

For example, the transfer of troops this time!

As a supervisor, he has a lot to do.

Standing in the courtyard for a while, he silently retracted his gaze, put his hands behind his back indifferently, and walked out the door.

"Follow me to see General Wang Ben and the governor of Yan County..."

……

Early the next morning.

Zhao Ying got up, and after a night's rest, he felt a lot more refreshed. He marched all the way down, even though his physique is now exaggerated, he didn't feel tired physically, but he was still a little nervous mentally.

This time, Zhao Ying did not bring many troops when he set off against the Xiongnu. He only brought his own [-] recruits and the [-] auxiliary soldiers arranged by the First Emperor.

He needs to complete this task as soon as possible and complete the initial integration of troops before the auxiliary troops arrive.

Therefore, he didn't delay too much. After breakfast, he took the Tiger Talisman and went to the army with Li Xin and Wang Li, and formally handed over to Wang Ben.

Now, the chief general of Shangjun is his old father-in-law Wang Ben, and the supervising army is his own father Fusu, and he is holding the tiger amulet given by his elder father, so the whole process is extremely smooth.

Wang Ben and Fusu verified the tiger talisman on the spot, and it was accurate, and then, very cooperatively, they let go and opened up, allowing them to pick people in the army.

Allocation and selection are actually two concepts.

But both Wang Ben and Fu Su tacitly ignored this point.

Everyone's sons are here, if it is not for fear of violating the policy, the two of them can't wait to put the most elite troops in their hands.

"Thank you General for fulfilling—"

Zhao Ying saluted his father and Fu Su sincerely.

Then people called Zhang Han, Han Xin and others who were waiting outside, and began to select men from the 50 army in Shangjun.

"Not for those under the age of 30, not for the only child in the family, not for those who are not physically strong, not for those who can't ride and shoot!"

Under Zhao Ying's almost harsh request, everyone above a hundred generals, including Zhang Han and Han Xin, mobilized and worked overtime for three full days before selecting 50 elite soldiers from the [-] army.

These are the elite of the elite, and each of them is a veteran who has been on the battlefield and seen blood.

However, Zhao Ying didn't want any of the middle- and lower-level generals in Shangjun!
He broke up all these people, and then assigned them to Zhang Han, Han Xin, Meng Zhan and others. From top to bottom, all the middle and lower-level officers were the real direct descendants he brought from the recruit camp.

What he wants is not only an elite army, but also an army that absolutely obeys his orders and commands.

Bringing veterans with new recruits was originally a big taboo.

However, Wang Ben took charge of the place himself, the eldest son Fusu changed his normal attitude and stayed close to his left and right, Zhao Ying himself was a nobleman, and Li Xin was a veteran in the army with high prestige, so the transition was relatively smooth.

After becoming an army, except for the scout battalion under the leadership of Chen Sheng, Tu Hexiong, who went directly to Jiuyuan County to fight for the army, all the people immediately entered the running-in training of the army.

Originally, these old soldiers in Shangjun still looked down on these young people who looked childish.

But he quickly corrected his attitude.

Because these young people are really outstanding.Not only are they proficient in archery and horses, but also have strict discipline. The most frightening thing is that everyone knows the art of war!It can be said that there are almost no shortcomings except that he has not been on the battlefield and has not been stained with blood.

They are all old soldiers who fought life and death on the battlefield and climbed out of the dead. Naturally, they know how terrifying such an army can be, and how much room for these young people who seem to be immature now to grow up. high.

As long as they survive two bloody battles, these young people will be reborn and grow into real elites and qualified lieutenant generals.

Therefore, with this understanding, the dissatisfaction in most people's hearts gradually faded, and they obviously cooperated a lot during training.The only thing that makes them uncomfortable is that compared with the original, this place pays more attention to the study of "Forging the Soul of the Army"!

Not only to learn, but also to talk about experience!
But it made it difficult for these rough old men——

Fortunately, with the help of the three thousand recruits brought by Zhao Ying, they did not make a fool of themselves, but their study every night still made them complain.

Life is like this, day by day, after more than ten days of running-in, everyone is finally familiar with their subordinates, and after getting along with each other these days, these recruits who have never been on the battlefield have also learned from these veterans. There are many details that cannot be learned in books.

The overall combat effectiveness has improved visibly with the naked eye.

Zhao Ying, Li Xin and others were naturally extremely pleased, but the county guard Yan and the chief general Wang Ben felt a little headache.

He suddenly felt that his promise to the eldest son a few days ago was a bit hasty——

It is said that there are [-] elite soldiers, but in fact they took away nearly [-] elite soldiers' equipment. During this period of time, the food expenses of these people alone caused them some headaches. There must also be meat!

This is not raising [-] elite soldiers, this is raising [-] ancestors...

The treasury of Shangjun was visibly deflated.

The treatment made some old soldiers who were not selected couldn't help being jealous.

Fortunately, this kind of day is not too long. No. 15 days after Zhao Ying and others arrived in Shangjun, Chen Ping and Meng Ce, who were in charge of the auxiliary troops, finally arrived in Shangjun.

Their arrival meant that the days of Zhao Ying and others in Shangjun had entered the countdown.

Sure enough, on the third day after Chen Ping and Meng Ce arrived in Shangjun, Zhao Ying ordered the army to move out, which made the county guard Yan and the chief general Wang Ben secretly heave a sigh of relief.

If we stay any longer, the government treasury can't bear it any longer.

After the army left, Fusu, Wang Ben and Yan, the county guard, went out of the city in person to see Zhao Ying and others off.

"I am waiting here, waiting for the triumphant return of His Royal Highness' army—"

Sheriff Yan looked solemn and bowed his hands in salute.

Zhao Ying also returned the gift with a serious face.

"According to the governor's auspicious words!"

Then, he bid farewell to Fusu and Wang Ben.

At the beginning, Mengtian captured the Hetao Plain from the Xiongnu, and the Great Qin then set up Jiuyuan County. Mengtian set up 44 cities along the Hetao area in one go, forming a defensive chain against the Xiongnu.

Therefore, it is Jiuyuan County that really borders the Huns.

After entering the boundary of Jiuyuan County, Zhao Ying immediately increased the scope of the investigation and kept sweeping repeatedly.But he also knew that in such a place bordering the Xiongnu, it was impossible to completely eliminate the Xiongnu's exploration.

Therefore, after discussing with Li Xin, Zhang Han, Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Chen Ping, they decisively slowed down their marching speed, and then began to make a big fanfare. The momentum is full.

If you don't observe closely, even if you say that you have a hundred thousand troops, no one will be suspicious.

However, no one noticed that shortly after entering Jiuyuan County, several teams quietly left the route of the army. One man and three cavalry disappeared into the vast wilderness of Jiuyuan County under the cover of night.

A few days later, Zhang Han, Han Xin, and Zhao Ying, a total of [-] troops, met quietly outside Jiuyuan County.

From the very beginning, Zhao Ying was not prepared to fight a protracted war with the Huns.

He was going to follow the example of Huo Qubing back then, taking advantage of Takahashi's saddle, stirrups and horse's iron hooves to start a blitzkrieg.

Therefore, when everyone thought that he was still in Jiuyuan County, he broke up into pieces and led an army of [-] into the Xiongnu grassland.

"General, how do we go next—"

Looking at the map in front of him, Han Xin's eyes flickered.Although they had already deduced countless times in private about the plan to send troops this time, he still couldn't help feeling a little excited.

No way, this opportunity is too bold and too crazy.

Let his adrenaline surge a little bit.

"The Pu Department——"

Zhao Ying stretched out his big hand, circled it around, and pressed heavily on a green field at the foot of Wushaoling Mountain.

There is a medium-sized tribe of tens of thousands of Huns living here, the Pupu tribe.There has always been a marriage relationship between the Pupu tribe and the Xiongnu headquarters, and it is also an important source base for Shanyu and King Youxian's war horses.

This time, Zhao Ying focused on this place.

……

Just when Zhao Ying and others sneaked across the Yellow River and were about to detour around Wushaoling to launch a surprise attack on the Pupu tribe, a decree within the Great Qin Dynasty and also in Xianyang City fell into a huge dispute.

Imperial examination system.

Under the deliberate promotion of the court, scholars from all over the place joined in this grand debate, what to test, how to test, who can take the test, and everyone can offer advice to the court.

The nobles of the Six Nations are a little numb.

Because, they found that the situation seemed to be a little out of control. This was not a problem of promoting "The Soul of the Army", nor was it a problem of Daqin Storyteller, nor was it a problem of the imperial court providing cheap books, but the imperial examination!

The imperial court even allowed everyone to take the imperial examination!

Re-opened the upward channel for scholars.

This move directly disrupted their position, and many people's minds changed unconsciously.

Can rise, why rebel!
Handan County.

Li Zuoche, who heard the news, couldn't help sighing softly, looked at Zhao Dun who was sitting in his study, and smiled wryly.

"No way - if the imperial court really allows the children of various families to participate in the imperial examination, can you control the children in your family not to participate? Even if you can control the children in your family, can you control those scholars in the local area..."

Zhao Dun remained silent.

"It's useless, take the initiative to respond—"

Li Zuoche looked at Zhao Dun who was still hesitant, and made a conclusion directly.

"Unless we rise up now, we can only take the initiative to participate and take the initiative in our own hands..."

Huiji County.

Yin Tong, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu gathered together.

"General Xiang, what should we do now..."

Unlike the nobles from the Six Kingdoms in Handan County, they have been operating here for a long time. Not only have they mastered the local army, but they have also deployed a lot of troops in Daze Township.

Grain, armor, troops, all three are available.

There is no way to turn back——

Xiang Liang couldn't help but frown.

"Didn't the first emperor distrust our children from the Six Kingdoms? Why did he suddenly change the direction—"

Yin Tong was silent.

Although he is the governor of a county, he is far away from a power center like Xianyang, so he doesn't get much useful information at all.

"In my opinion, it's better to raise troops directly—"

Xiang Yu couldn't help frowning, and a stern look flashed in his eyes.

"If we continue to stop, we will definitely suffer. If it continues to develop, I think our situation will be even more difficult-not to mention anything else, but just the books in the treasury, how long can we hold down..."

Yin Tong and Xiang Liang were silent for a long time.

"Wait a little longer, compared with Daqin, our strength is too weak - we have to wait until the first emperor is gone, so that we can have a chance..."

Xiang Liang glanced at his nephew who was somewhat unwilling.

"Moreover, now the grandson of the emperor, Zhao Ying, has led troops to Jiuyuan County to attack the Xiongnu—the Huns are not weak now, just relying on the eldest grandson of the emperor..."

Xiang Liang smiled.

"With Li Xin following, even if it doesn't lead to a disastrous defeat, it will definitely be difficult to win quickly. If this completely angers the Xiongnu—and drags Daqin into the quagmire of war..."

Yin Tong's eyes lit up.

"Then we have a chance!"
