Chapter 149, The First Lord’s Mood and Celebrity Gift Package
The next day, Chen Yu and others were surprised to find that the Qin army did not attack the city, but soon they discovered that the Qin army was actually digging tunnels, because they could see that not far from Ji, the Qin army was constantly digging, and there were a large number of soldiers. In earth moving, the speed is extremely fast.
"Your Majesty, the Qin army is digging a tunnel." Li Liang said in a panic.
If a tunnel is dug through the city wall and enters Jidu, they will be in danger.
Kuai Che thought for a moment and said, "We will also dig in the city, dig a trench, and arrange a group of archers to station near the trench."
Chen Yu said: "Hurry up and do what you said to join the army."
Li Liang said: "No!"
Li Liang summoned thousands of people from Jidu and asked them to dig a trench two feet wide and two feet deep along the city of Ji County. Because it was an open-air excavation, they dug faster than the Qin army. Soon a horizontal trench was dug under the city wall of Jidu, and there were five upside-down water tanks near the trench. Five soldiers were monitoring the Qin army's every move near the water tanks at any time. As long as the Qin army dared to appear, the soldiers would Will report to the superiors, Yan Jun's bows and arrows can kill all these Qin troops.
But to Chen Yu's dismay, the Qin army stopped moving forward after digging the tunnel under the city wall, and instead dug toward both sides of the city wall. Chen Yu and the others didn't understand what Qin Jun was doing, but everyone felt uneasy because they knew that Meng Tian couldn't do useless work.
December 36, the 11th year of the First Emperor's reign.
The winter sun slowly rises, and the golden sunshine begins to shine on the earth. The sunshine drives away the fog and cold air in the north, bringing a little bit of warmth.
5 Qin troops were ready to go at the north gate of Jixian County, enjoying the momentary warmth brought by the sunshine.
In the Qin army's formation, Sun Cheng pointed to the northern city wall of Jixian and said: "We have dug through the bottom of the city wall, and it is now only supported by wooden planks. As long as the general burns all these wooden planks, the city wall of Jixian will definitely collapse."
After speaking, Sun Cheng handed a torch to Meng Tian.
Meng Tian said: "Burn!"
He threw the torch into the tunnel, and Sun Cheng had already got some grease, sulfur and other flammable materials in the tunnel. Meng Tian threw the torch into the tunnel, and the fuse of the tunnel was quickly ignited, and the flames burned to the bottom of the city wall of Jixian .
"Sorry, Your Majesty, our city wall is smoking. The Qin army wants to burn our city wall." Li Liang said, looking at the smoking city wall.
Kuai Che's expression changed drastically and he said, "Run away!"
It was impossible to burn the city wall. Thinking of the actions of the Qin army in the past two days, he understood that the Qin army must have done something he didn't know about under the Jixian city wall. A gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall, so he immediately pulled Chen Yu ran towards the city wall.
Not long after, a huge "boom" sound erupted, and the northern city wall of Jixian collapsed because it lost its pillars.
Meng Tian pulled out the long sword in his hand and pointed at the gap and shouted: "The whole army attacks, completely eliminate the rebels, kill!"
"Kill!" 5 Qin troops entered from the gap in the north.
There were not many soldiers in Jixian County, and they only relied on the people in the city to resist. But now that the city wall collapsed, the morale of the Yan army suddenly collapsed, and they no longer had the power to stop the Qin army's killings.
The soldiers of the Qin army who had been attacking Jixian for two months also enjoyed the moment of killing. This was the moment when they reaped military glory. Jixian suddenly fell into a bloody storm.
Yunshan, Zhao Jun military camp.
"Prime Minister, we can't stay in Yandi any longer. If we stay any longer, it will be difficult for us to escape the Qin army's pursuit." Colonel Han Guang advised Zhang Er.
Zhang Er's decision to rescue Chen Yu was not only due to their brotherhood, but also because of their mutual friendship. Zhang Er thought very well at that time. Chen Yu persisted in resisting the main force of the Qin army in Jixian County, while he hid in the Yanshan Mountains and sent small groups of troops to continuously attack Mengtian's grain roads in Shanggu County and Dai County. As long as the Qin army lacks food and grass, it will have to retreat.
But Zhang Er had a good idea, but Meng Tian did not go as he wished. After Zhang Er continued to attack his food route, he decisively changed his supply method and asked Feng Jie from Qi for help, asking Feng Jie to take the waterway from Qi. For transporting grain, there is a plain to the east of Guangyang County, and there is only a short 200 miles of grain roads. Meng Tian sent 5000 cavalry to protect his grain roads, and Zhang Er was helpless.
Now Chen Yu and the others could no longer hold on, and the Zhao generals also believed that they had fulfilled their obligations as allies. If they did not escape, they would not be able to escape.
Zhang Er struggled for a while and finally said: "We will break camp and return to Zhao tomorrow."
The Zhao general present said joyfully: "No."
But at this moment a soldier ran in and said: "Prime Minister, the Qin army has conquered Jixian County, and the Qin army has added 5 troops at the foot of the mountain."
Zhang Er felt dizzy when he heard this and almost couldn't stand up. Now it was his turn to face Qin's siege.

On November 36, the 11th year of the First Emperor's reign, Chen County Recruitment Hall.
"This is my disciple Sun Shutong. He was originally a doctor in Xianyang City for the tyrant Ying Zheng. Unfortunately, he was implicated by me and had to escape from Xianyang City. However, he is familiar with hundreds of classics and is proficient in hundreds of etiquettes. In Xianyang City In the past few years, I have seen heroes and celebrities in the world, and he is the best disciple around me. I recommend him to the King of Han, hoping that the King of Han will reuse him." Kong Yu really valued Sun Shutong as a disciple and recommended him to Xu Fan.
"Confucian scholar Sun Shutong pays homage to the King of Han." Sun Shutong saluted Xu Fan.
Xu Fan told him not to be too polite and said: "After Mr. Kong Kun becomes Fengchang, he will soon spend most of his energy on carrying out compulsory education in the Han Kingdom. I am afraid that the owner of the recruiting hall will not have the time and energy to do this. Mr. Sun Shu If you don’t mind it, then you can first become the head of the recruiting hall and recruit talents for me, a big man?”
This is still a historical celebrity. Xu Fan seems to remember that after Liu Bang became emperor, his subordinates did not understand etiquette. When discussing matters, they often drew their swords, or started fighting for several rounds. They were much more virtuous than Xu Fan's later councilors who threw shoes and trash. . Liu Bang was deeply worried, but it was Sun Shutong who formulated the etiquette of the Han Dynasty.
He is a relatively important person, but not too important. It will only be used after the world is unified, but now it can only be used to make a beautiful vase during the war.
But after all, he came to Han from Xianyang City. Even if it is for political propaganda, he must be treated as a thousand-mile horse. Moreover, Sun Shutong has seen a lot in Xianyang City in the past few years and knows hundreds of talents. He is recruiting talents. The museum can just mobilize this relationship of his, and it can be considered that he uses it according to his talents.
"Your Majesty, Sun Shutong, accepts the order." This was regarded as agreeing to Xu Fan's recruitment.
Xu Fan thought for a while and then said: "Because of the tyrant's book-burning order, hundreds of schools in the world are withering now. I intend to build a library to collect books from all over the world so that scholars from hundreds of schools can write hundreds of classics here. It has been passed down to hundreds of schools of thought, and Mr. Sun Shu probably recorded many classics in Xianyang City. By writing these classics, you can be considered as preserving a trace of culture for the entire world."
When Sun Shutong heard this, he said excitedly: "I will definitely fulfill my mission."
Kong Kun then said excitedly: "I also have a collection of books in my home. I will donate them to the King of Han. I just hope that the scholars of the world can feel the words of hundreds of masters."
No wonder the two of them were so excited. After experiencing the destruction of the Great Demon King, the First Emperor, the cultural prosperity set off by hundreds of masters had long since withered, and now the world finally has an emperor who values culture. It is only with the comparison of the First Emperor that it becomes clear. Xu Fan is so valuable.
The scholars of this era still had the ambition to inherit their unique knowledge for the saints, and even had the ambition to become a saint. After the Han Dynasty, each of them took the knowledge of the sages and learned it in their own family, hoping that only their own children would understand it (this It is also an extremely disgusting thing). It is very difficult to build Xu Fan's library. Even Emperor Ling couldn't do it if he wanted to break the family's monopoly on learning. The construction of Hongdu Gate and the annotation of the Five Classics were all blocked. The family is demonized.
After meeting Sun Shutong, Xu Fan looked at the other rebel heroes who had joined him. This was the reason why Xu Fan came to the recruitment hall, not to see Sun Shutong. The main reason is that this recruitment hall really broke out SSR-level cards, and Xu Fan even came here with a hint of excitement.
"General Chen Ying, please pay homage to the King of Han!" Chen Ying led his younger brother Cao Sheng and Han Xin to salute Xu Fan.
Xu Fan said: "I am also from a grassy background, so I don't need so many courtesy."
Then Xu Fan continued: "I know your situation. You were originally a Qin official in Dongyang County. Because of your high reputation and popularity in Dongyang County, you were elected as the king by the local heroes. It is rare for you to have self-awareness and be elected by your subordinates. When you become king, you can refuse decisively."
This is really rare. Many uprising forces forget all about it and seek hegemony once they succeed. Someone with Chen Ying's determination is already top-notch among uprising forces that have lasted for thousands of years.
Xu Fan continued: "When you find that your subordinates want to go to a higher level and follow a better master, you can also retreat unscathed, protect yourself, and know how to advance and retreat. In this world, you are already very good. You are bigger than the world. Most heroes are strong."
Chen Ying shook his head and said, "My abilities are still not good enough, otherwise my brothers wouldn't have abandoned me!"
The experience of escaping from Dongyang County was really not a good memory for him.
Xu Fan said: "Everyone has their own strengths. If you can restrain them and maintain the stability of a county, it is already a merit. Not everyone is suitable to be the leader of a party."
Xu Fan's words made Chen Ying, Cao Sheng and Han Xin sigh in relief. They could hear Xu Fan's appreciation for Chen Ying. This was too important to them. Finally, their choice was not wrong. With the appreciation of the King of Han, Their career in Han Dynasty will definitely be reduced.
Then Xu Fan looked at Chen Ying and said: "You are also an old official this year. I will give you two choices. If you continue to want to join the army, you must first undergo the training of my big man's officer crash course. After you pass, I can appoint you as the Supervisor of the Han Army. If you don't want to join the army, you can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and familiarize yourself with the government affairs of the Han State under Brother Zhou Zhang, and then go to the Han State to be a county magistrate in charge of the government. "
Xu Fan still has a good impression of Chen Ying, a rebel leader who has a good reputation and can restrain his subordinates, so the choice for him is not bad. Chen Ying thought for a moment and said, "I still want to join the Han army and fight for the King of Han."
If in peacetime, Chen Ying, a petty official, could be the county magistrate and complete the transition from a clerk to an official, it would be like smoke rising from his ancestral graves, and he would not dare to make any further demands.
But now that he has commanded 2 rebel soldiers, has become a hero, and has seen higher scenery, a county magistrate cannot satisfy Chen Ying. He also wants to make contributions and show his former brothers that he, Chen Ying, has There is no ability, and this requirement can only be realized on the battlefield.
Xu Fan said: "You should first go to the crash course for Han army officers to practice."
After solving his own future, Chen Ying did not forget his younger brother who had been following him.
He pointed at Cao Sheng and Han Xin and said: "These two are Ying's subordinates. Cao Sheng is brave and can be a general who can break the army. Han Xin has far-sightedness and is a rare handsome man. I recommend these two to the King of Han."
Cao Sheng and Han Xin saluted Xu Fan and said, "Cao Sheng, Han Xin pays homage to the King of Han."
Xu Fan said: "Two heroes, please get up quickly."
Xu Fan was a little excited when he said this. He came here to see unknown people like Sun Shutong and Chen Ying. But I came specifically to see Han Xin.
In Xu Fan's view, most of the Han Dynasty was conquered by Han Xin. To rank the famous generals of the Chu and Han Dynasties, Han Xin and Xiang Yu are in the same class. They are the top talents of this era. The three heroes of the early Han Dynasty are among them. Having already won the second prize, how could this not make Xu Fan excited?
Fortunately, Xu Fan has also experienced life and death in the past two years, and he quickly stabilized his emotions. He said to the two of them: "I am a big man who only relies on my talents. If you two have talents, they can show their talents. I will definitely measure them." And Yong, you are also like Chen Ying, go to the officer crash course for training first, and become familiar with the rules and regulations of our Han army before joining the Han army."
Then he encouraged the two of them: "The Qin Dynasty has not yet been destroyed, it is the time for heroes to make contributions."
The two of them said happily: "Thank you, King Han, for your appreciation."
Although he was very excited to see Han Xin, the Han Dynasty's system was being formalized now, and he could not be like Liu Bang and push Han Xin to the position of general at once. Because this will definitely cause dissatisfaction with Han generals such as Ji Bu and Yingbu, he can only be promoted slowly according to the rules and regulations. However, with Han Xin's talent, he will soon come to the fore. Xu Fan does not agree with this. Worry.
After meeting Han Xin, Xu Fan walked out of the Recruitment Center in a relaxed mood, and then he said to himself: "When the First Master recruited Zhuge Wolong in Longzhong, his mood was the same as mine now."
Then he answered himself: "You should be more excited than me. After all, the First Lord only had one county at that time."
After thinking for a while, he said: "You shouldn't be as excited as I am. After all, I know that Han Xin is the top handsome man of this era."
Inside the recruitment hall.
After Chen Ying and others left, Sun Shutong asked curiously: "What great talents do Chen Ying and others have that we have not discovered? Why is the King of Han so excited?"
Although Xu Fan tried his best to hide it, Kong Kun and Sun Shutong still noticed Xu Fan's excitement.
Kong Kun was also surprised and said: "The King of Han has always paid more attention to the scholars of hundreds of schools. Today is the first time I have seen this situation."
The Han army's system of training officers has long been a streamlined operation. The heroes who joined Xu Fan were basically disbanded and integrated into the Han army without being received by Xu Fan.
Fortunately, the Han army has been expanding and winning battles. The heroes who have taken refuge with Xu Fan will soon be promoted. They will lead more soldiers than when they took refuge with Xu Fan, and their treatment will be better than when they were Caotou Wang. OK, so there are very few dissatisfied generals.
Kong Yu also felt strange and said: "That Han Xin is very young and looks ordinary. He is still a low-priced officer. Why does the King of Han value him so much?"
Sun Shutong thought for a while and said: "After all, the world is in chaos. The King of Han is probably paying more attention to generals. I am afraid that this Han Xin has military talents that we have not seen. It seems that the disciples should recommend more talents in this field to the King of Han."
In the next few days, historical celebrities continued to join Xu Fan. Xu Fan was like playing a game of Three Kingdoms and suddenly opened a super VIP, and various historical figures gained permission to join Xu Fan.
"Liu Bang of Peixian County has met the King of Han." Liu Bang led his brothers to salute Xu Fan.
This is still weird, but except for Xu Fan, no one can feel the weirdness in it.
"All heroes of the rebel army, please rise."
Liu Bang stood up calmly and approached Xu Fan very skillfully and said: "General Qin Jia was defeated by Xiang Liang's army. We have become a prodigal dog and can only seek refuge with the general. Please take care of him."
Xu Fan said: "When we recruit rebels in Han Dynasty, we always reorganize them first and then train the generals. Finally, we assign positions according to your talents. Can you accept it, all the heroes of the rebel army?"
Xu Fan explained this in advance because Liu Bang was considered the largest group to defect to him. Because they ran away early, Liu Bang's 5000 Peixian County disciples almost escaped. If the size of the Han army had not increased to 30, Xu Fan would have Worried that it would be difficult to digest such a large army.
Liu Bang and others were obviously hesitant. The King of Han blatantly said that he wanted to reorganize his army, which was to disperse his children in Peixian County. Liu Bang only had this small army at hand. If you say that he is not worried, it is false. In troubled times, Only those who have soldiers are the grass-headed kings. Liu Bang is not lacking in ambition. He is really afraid that Xu Fan will swallow up their army and kick them out directly.
Fan Kuai asked in confusion: "We sincerely surrender to the King of Han."
Lu Wan also said: "Our children in Peixian County are familiar with each other and can exert strong fighting power together. Why does the King of Han want to separate us?"
The two of them are the closest to Liu Bang. Of course, they must find ways to help Liu Bang preserve the only army he has at this time.
Xu Fan smiled and said: "This is the appearance of a small hill in the defense army. My Han army is originally composed of heroes from all walks of life, but if it happens, you cannot command my army, just like the Chu Kingdom was full of feudal lords." The army, with such an army's combat effectiveness, history also gives the answer. It is impossible for them to defeat the Qin army. Only by completely eliminating the mountains and allowing all the armies to condense into one force can our Han army be invincible. "
Moreover, I, the Han Dynasty, also want to share the land. After your soldiers become Han soldiers, each one will be allocated 100 acres of land. The Han Dynasty cannot find 50 acres of contiguous land, so it can only disperse your troops throughout the Han Kingdom. , but when soldiers are being recruited again, they are recruited based on the village system. This military service system is the most basic system of my Han Dynasty, and it is impossible to change it for you, so I want to explain it in advance. "
Xiao He thought for a moment and said, "King Han, can we discuss it?"
Xiao He and the others still wanted to discuss it before making a decision. But at this time Liu Bang said loudly: "Since we want to join the Han Dynasty, we naturally follow the rules of the Han Dynasty. No need to discuss, we join the Han army."
Liu Bang had just thought about it. Xu Fan was a hero who did great things, and he would not be interested in his 5000 soldiers. Since he wanted to join the Han Dynasty, he had to leave a good impression on the Han Dynasty and discuss what to do.
Moreover, Liu Bang did not have much ambition at this time. Historically, after he was defeated by Yong Chi, he immediately defected to Xiang Liang. Then Xiang Liang gave him 10 senior officers. This can be said to help Liu Bang improve the combat effectiveness of the army. It can also be said that Xiang Liang incorporated Liu Bang's army. At that time, Liu Bang had no objection. Now facing the more powerful Xu Fan, He had no objection even more.
Xu Fan said: "Well, those of you who want to join the army should join the Han army officer training class and undergo training first. I will use it according to your talents. If you want to serve in politics, you can first follow the Prime Minister's Mansion to observe the government for three months, and then be trained by the Han army." Prime Minister Zhou appoints officials based on your talents."
"Thank you, King Han!"
After Liu Bang and others walked out of the Houchen County Council Hall, Cao Shen was a little angry and said: "How can you just agree to the King of Han to annex our army? This is the foundation for us to conquer the world."
Although Liu Bang is the leader of this group, Xiao He, Cao Shen and other powerful people in Peixian County also have very heavy shares. It can even be said that if Xiao He and Cao Shen were not conservative and worried that the failure of the rebellion would implicate the entire clan, the powerful leaders of Peixian County would still have their turn. Before Liu Bang came to do it, there was a Yong Chi in Feng County who was not convinced by Liu Bang. From this, it can be seen that Liu Bang's own prestige was not actually high.
Liu Bang said indifferently: "Do we have any other choice? Apart from King Han, the only hero in the world who can resist the Qin Dynasty is Xiang Liang. Now that we have escaped from Xiang Liang's attack, the only one we can choose is the King of Han. Since we have no choice, Why not give the King of Han a good impression."
"Okay, now that the words have been said, why are you still worrying about what to do? Let's think about our future. The King of Han has given us two choices, joining the army or participating in politics. Nai Gong said it first, I still want to lead the army to fight, a man's life We must live happily, and in these troubled times, of course we must make contributions immediately.”
Fan Kuai, Lu Wan, Zhou Bo, Xia Houying and others immediately said: "We also join the army."
Xiao He said with a smile: "I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion first to observe the government. I am also very curious about how Han State can learn from Qin State's system and maintain the existence of the country while exempting from corvee and reducing taxes."
Heroes of all ages liked big government and wanted to issue their orders to every common person in the empire, but only the First Emperor in the feudal era had the real right to go to the countryside.
But the cost for him to achieve this was extremely heavy. Half of the finances of the Qin Dynasty were swallowed up by hundreds of thousands of Qin officials. It was because the backlash was so tragic that when Liu Bang became emperor, he would comprehensively streamline the army and streamline administration, and the imperial power would not be extended to the counties. The barbaric development of the place led to the rule of Wenjing.
Cao Shenzhu was a little hesitant. He was considered to be both civil and military in Liu Bang's group, but his martial arts was not as good as Liu Bang's, and his literary skills were not as good as Xiao He's. His characteristics were not outstanding. After thinking about it, he finally felt that he would join the army and make contributions on horseback like Liu Bang.
