The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 710
Chapter 711

The mud on the road didn't change much, but after Xin Qiji moved into Jianyang City, he began to enlist civilians to rebuild the section from Jianyang to Qingnilin Army Village under the orders of the city lord of Jianyang City.

The imperial court can recruit civilian workers without compensation, but the civilian workers who are forcibly recruited often do not work hard, and deliberately delay the construction period for a long time.

There was also a rule on the side of the Qin court that when the court enlisted husbands, it would give Qin Zhi black and white sugar as compensation.

It also happens to be the cold winter season, not when the farming is busy.

Both Qin paper and white sugar were made in secret by the Qin State, and the Qin State court would not be so stupid as to disclose the methods of making paper and white sugar to the world.

When the people saw the white Qin paper and the translucent white granulated sugar placed in front of them, their eyes were dazzled. How could they refuse?
Di Renjie and Tao Yuanming were all responsible for the allocation of resources. Sima Yi, the left general of the Great Qin Dynasty, led the Taibai Army to the west, leaving only Li Shunchen in Hancheng and even Guangling City. It can be said that the number of soldiers is unprecedented. gap.

There are barely tens of thousands of local defenders, but they are all soldiers who can't get on the table.

Under Tao Yuanming's suggestion, Di Renjie started to recruit soldiers, and the battle on the front line began. It was impossible for the imperial court to send troops here, so he had to select soldiers from the Hancheng theater and train them.

Xue Rengui has always had a heavy army in Guangling City, and now he has to change this strategy.

In the past, 20 troops were stationed in the Hancheng War Zone, mainly to defend the Chu State. Now the Dantu Shuicheng in the Chu State has withdrawn troops since last year, and there is barely one Wang Meng leading tens of thousands of troops stationed.

After all, Xiang Yu wanted to mobilize the power of the whole country to destroy the Shu Kingdom, and to take the natural Sichuan and Shu granaries for himself.

This point of strategic vision is still very good.

Sichuan and Shu are known as the land of abundance, and the food is three crops a year. As long as the resources of Sichuan and Shu are fully utilized, the national strength of the entire country can definitely be developed in a short period of time.

Li Shimin is the hero, and Guan Zhong's vision of seeing people in this way can't be wrong at first.

Therefore, between Qin State and Chu State, they both thought that they had their own problems, and it was rare that there was a short-term trust.

Fan Zeng, who was stationed in the [-]% area, didn't care about Liu Bei's war with Qin.

During this period of time, he and Wang Meng also exchanged letters very frequently, and the two reached an agreement in the letters, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight!
There is no way around this. Both Wang Meng and Fan Zeng wanted to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the war between Cai and Qin to gain some benefits, but King Xiang Yu of Chu wanted to fight Li Shimin of Shu and would never allow another war in the east.

Moreover, the present time is not very ripe.

Xue Rengui, a fierce tiger, is entrenched in the area from Guangling City to Wuguan, and has not yet joined the battle.

Di Renjie and Tao Yuanming in Hancheng arranged all kinds of materials very reasonably.

On the Yangtze River waterway, Li Sunchen's tortoise-shell boat was really like a turtle with a shrunken head. If it wasn't necessary, Wang Meng really didn't want to mobilize the navy to fight against Li Sunchen.

Therefore, all the reasons came down to the end, the south of Qin State was still safe for the time being, otherwise, at this sensitive time, Sima Yi would not have led Li Bai to lead the army westward to support Xin Qiji.

He even wrote a letter to Xue Rengui when Sima Yi set off.

In Guangling City, Xue Rengui was looking through Sima Yi's autographed letter. The two were at the same level, and there was no such thing as who could arrange the other, so Sima Yi's wording in the letter was still very euphemistic.

After Xue Rengui finished reading it, he ordered someone to find Li Cunxu.

Li Cunxu was stationed at Wuguan, and it took a full half a day before he rushed to Guangling City.

"Meet the former general!"

Xue Rengui nodded slightly, and gave a little support: "No need to be polite, just sit down!"

After Li Cunxu took his seat, Xue Rengui said: "Your Majesty's majesty has descended from heaven. Now the Han court has been defeated by our dynasty. Your Majesty wants to send troops to fight against the traitor Liu Bei. It just so happens that Liu Bei is also leading the army eastward, and Xin Qiji has already led the army on the road." , to go to Jianyang City, as to whether he can dare to occupy Jianyang City before Liu Bei, this is unknown (the news from Xin Qiji's side has not yet come).

Right now, General Sima Yi of the left wrote a letter to me and asked me to send troops to help, not because he was unwilling to send troops, but because there was only one army from Zhengxi Army stationed on the embankment with a radius of thousands of miles from Guangling City to Wuguan.

However, the Western Expedition is a major event, so we must be cautious, so the general intends to dispatch you to lead an army of [-] to follow General Zuo in the Western Expedition. "

After a pause, Xue Rengui said: "This is a good opportunity. You were forced to cross the river by Liu Bang, Xu Da and others when you were on the edge of the river. Be good, your brother Cunxiao is famous in Jiuzhou, you must not fall into your brother's name!"

Li Cunxu said excitedly: "Thank you, General, for promoting me, and thank you, General, for giving this opportunity to the young general. I will definitely grasp it well."

"En." Xue Rengui nodded and said, "Guangling City and Wuguan cannot be lost. I will personally sit here and confront Fan Zeng and Wang Meng of the Chu State. Whether you can make contributions on the battlefield depends on yourself. The brave man is your choice."

In just half a day, Li Cunxu led an army of [-] to march north.

He caught up with Sima Yi near the green mud forest.

The two armies and one army belonged to Sima Yi's dispatch.

The battle in Suiyang hadn't started yet, Fusu was still on the way leading the army, but the battle in Jianyang City had already started.

Zhang Hao and Deng Qiang of the rear army led the remaining [-] vanguard troops and rushed to the foot of Jianyang City at noon the next day, where they joined Di Qingbing.

Knowing that Xin Qiji arrived in Jianyang City first, Zhang Hao and Deng Qiang were also very depressed, and there was a sense of blaming Di Qing in their words.

But hearing that Di Qing had sent someone to prepare the siege equipment, the two felt a little relieved.

Deng Qiang ordered the pair of infantrymen to come outside Jianyang City, looking at Xin Qiji's army who were strengthening the city wall, his face turned pale with anger.

"The ones outside, do you want to come over and surrender? See what this is?" A military man of the Qin Army stood on the tower and laughed loudly. He even poked a piece of barbecue with a spear in his hand, and screamed at the city gate. He screamed.

"Presumptuous!" Deng Qiang, an imposing nine-foot man, immediately pulled down his iron tire bow, but quickly calmed down. He smiled sarcastically at the Qin army in the city, turned around and led the soldiers around Jianyang City.

It can be seen that Jianyang City used to have a moat, but because the imperial court did not control it for a long time.

The city lord, Min Yuan, was just a fool who only knew how to make money, so he naturally abandoned this grand pass. The moat outside the city was in disrepair for a long time, and it looked like a slightly larger ditch.

It took almost an hour for Deng Qiang to walk around in the mud of fighters, and only then did he circle the entire Jianyang City.

Back in the army camp under the cliff, Deng Qiang soaked his feet in hot water before looking for Di Qing.

"General Di, led hundreds of people just now, and went around outside Jianyang City, and saw that the Qin army on the tower was strengthening the city wall. This is not a good sign!"

Di Qing nodded: "Soldiers in the army reported back this morning, but I don't know if General Deng has any good strategies?"

Deng Qiang said: "I originally wanted to dig a tunnel, but the soil outside Jianyang City has too much water content, so it won't work at all. I really ran out of resources."

Hearing what Deng Qiang said, the corners of Di Qing's mouth turned up slightly, waiting for your words.

"Sometimes I heard people say that when King Qin Yingzheng ruled the world, he once conscripted civilians to open an official road on this ancient Yanshou road, but then the world was in chaos, so he gave up, and all the stones mined were piled up. In Jianyang City, Yi Xin Qiji picked up a bargain, and those stones that have been correct for many years can be directly used to strengthen the city wall."

Deng Qiang nodded, it was because of such a thing.

"It's just that, watching them strengthen the city wall, we can't remain indifferent." Deng Qiang became anxious.

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!" Di Qing smiled slightly: "If I guessed correctly, the Qin army's reinforcements must be on their way from Qingni Forest to Jianyang City at this time."

"What does the general mean to set up an ambush?" Deng Qiang shook his head a little: "The road from Jianyang to Qingni Forest is full of swamps and mud along the way, and there is no dangerous place. What effect."

"No!" Di Qing smiled confidently: "What I'm talking about is that Qingni Forest, Guangling City, and even Wuguan, Fengcheng, Yancheng and other places must be empty. This is the opportunity for you and me to make military exploits."

"Reconciliation?" Deng Qiang still didn't understand, isn't there only one way to go from Qingni Forest to Guangling City, and he couldn't fly to Qingmu Forest.

"There is indeed only one way to go." Di Qing laughed secretively, "As for how to go, it depends on whether the general has such courage?"

"Death and don't avoid it, why don't you dare?" Deng Qiang stood up, cupped his hands at Di Qing, and said, "I have offended the general before, so please don't take it to heart. You and I are planning for the king, and today we should fight against the enemy. !"

"What a common enemy! How could I be without Zhang Hao!" A warrior walked in from outside the military tent, and cupped his hands at the two of them, saying, "Zhang Hao came here uninvited, and please the two generals not to blame."

"Where is there!" Di Qing got up quickly: "It was my fault before that made Xin Qiji take the first step to occupy Jianyang City. After thinking about it, I should have delayed time at Heifengzhai, otherwise, this great construction Yangcheng belongs to our army."

"Don't talk about the past, the general is desperately on his way, and the brothers are all watching." Zhang Hao laughed.

Di Qing said: "After Xin Qiji settled in Jianyang City, he issued an edict from Jianyang City, calling on the people outside the city to repair the road from the green mud forest to Jianyang City. But it’s a stupid move! It’s enough to hand over the rich Hancheng theater of the Great Qin to my Great Cai Country!”
