Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 21

Liyang is located in the north of Raoyang, and the two towns meet for less than two hundred miles.In recent years, under Yan Wangxi's "wise leadership", Yan State has continued to molested Zhao State, which has led to the loss of the main force of its own army, and the country's territory has become increasingly narrow.

Even Wuyang, the lower capital, was exchanged to Zhao State. With the successive return of Wusui, Gecheng, Pingshu and other cities to Zhao, the two counties of Liyang and Wuyuan can even be said to have become the isolated state of Zhao. enclave.

Sima Shang's only worry about attacking Liyang is whether the already disabled Yan State will show off his head like in previous wars and gather the power of the whole country to attack Zhao in the south.
——Every time, as many people come and die, Zhao's prestige is empty.

However, compared with the cautious Sima Shang, Ziying is not worried about this, because he clearly remembers that the Yan Kingdom was basically beaten up at this time. After killing Yan general Ju Xin, Yan Guo completely became a good baby. Until Qin Guo ruled the world, except for Prince Dan who played the game of Jing Ke assassinating King Qin, his sense of existence was extremely weak, and he was always in a state of passive beating.

In history, after the Zhao army conquered Liyang, Qin State hastily attacked Yecheng, which had just been handed over to Zhao State not long ago, in the name of rescue after the Zhao army captured Liyang.

And this is also the beginning of Qin Wang Yingzheng, after eliminating the forces of Lai Ai and Lu Buwei successively in the past two years, taking power in person and gathering the power of several generations to formally promote the process of unifying the world.

Ziying didn't want to cause history to turn a corner because of his own misfortune, so the foresight that he was most proud of as a time traveler would be completely useless.

Therefore, Liyang must be defeated.

Because of the relationship between his son and baby's marriage to his grandfather, Sima Shang's integration of the two armies went very smoothly.However, in half a month, Raoyang's existing 8000 troops were reorganized into eight divisions, each commanded by a thousand commanders, and all five former Qin army commanders with two to five hundred leaders remained in their posts.

The tacit understanding between the remaining two armies needs a long time to run in, and now obviously there is not so long time for the original two troops to get familiar with each other and run in.

With Zhao Wang's order, if he stationed troops in Raoyang for a long time, if he did not send troops, it would easily arouse suspicion in Handan.

Therefore, at Ziying's suggestion, Sima Shang led 5000 of them out of Liyang, and the remaining 3000 stayed in Raoyang.

After all, the battlefield is a magical place. After fighting side by side, two people who have never met before can become close friends who can rely on each other.

Regarding the victory or defeat, Ziying didn't think too much about it. Liyang was alone in Zhao's territory, with few soldiers and poor people in the city, and the commander of the army was not a capable general. Because the Qin army suddenly attacked Zhao and the soldiers and horses were recalled, they will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results of the battle.

And Yan Guo was indeed languid this time. Even after Zhao Guo retreated, he didn't dare to stab a knife in the back like the previous battles between Qin and Zhao. He was very obedient.

Therefore, Zhao Jun withdrew from the battlefield to reinforce the western front without any worries.

However, this time, Ziying decided that even if Handan recruited, he would not be able to pass. After all, he could not go to the front line and lose all his family fortune.

Although my uncle has taken power, but my father has passed away, it is difficult to gain anything for him with the family affection left behind.Even if he directly led the army back to Qin now, he might just be an idle son and never have the chance to lead the army.

Therefore, what Ziying has to do is not only to return to the state of Qin, but also to coerce the illustrious military exploits to return so that he can occupy a place on the stage of the late Warring States period.

Therefore, what reason Qin Zhao Ye used to refuse to be recruited and to preserve his own strength during the battle between Qin and Zhao Ye became the primary issue that Ziying thought of after Sima Shang went to the battle.

However, the three thousand soldiers and horses who stayed behind in Raoyang obviously had no time to think about anything else.

If the curse could hurt people, Ziying would have died at least a hundred and eight thousand times at this time.

"Although this Lord Raoyang is young, he is too capable of mischief!" I am afraid this is the common aspiration in the hearts of all the soldiers.

On the second day after Sima Shang's expedition, the elders of several villages in the south of Raoyang reported that there had been drought and little rain since autumn, and the wells had dried up.

The matter came to Xu Chengjun's hands, and Xu Junxiang, who was busy deciphering the great cause of the book of heaven, naturally had no time to pay attention to these trivial matters.Irrigation is extremely underdeveloped in today's era, and it is basically in the stage of relying on the sky. If the sky does not rain, what can I do!
However, when Ziying knew about it, he immediately sent people from every household to collect all kinds of water utensils such as clay pots and wooden barrels. After each of the 3000 men and horses was allotted one, the whole army was dispatched to fight the drought.

Ziying ordered the army to stay in Raoyang. In the morning, each person carried water equipment and ran northward to the river dozens of miles away to fetch water, and then went back to Raoyang to eat before noon. In the afternoon, they carried water and rushed to the drought-affected villages in the south, and returned before evening.

And those who rush back before sunset can eat meat porridge, and they are full.Those who rushed back after sunset could only eat some vegetable porridge mixed with wild vegetables, and the same was true for lunch.

The most important thing is such a miserable life, not a day.Raoyang Jun ordered: "I can't bear the people's hard work to be paid in ashes, so I ordered Raoyang's subordinates to supply water every day and supervise the guards in the palace." That is to say, before the drought was relieved, each of the three thousand soldiers would have Send a trip to the water.

All the soldiers were directly transformed into human flesh water lifters.

This move made Ziying's reputation in Raoyang City skyrocket. In the past, the county magistrates in various places did not care about the life and death of ordinary people. Surplus food.

Although Ziying's move was nonsense, it can be said to be the first time that the army was used to fight the drought.

Although the entire army complained quite a bit, most of the soldiers were from ordinary farmers and knew the hard work of the people.Besides, as long as you can run back on time after each trip, you can enjoy rice porridge mixed with diced meat. Although it is hard work, you can still grit your teeth and persevere.

Ziying also has his own thoughts on this.

How to enhance the combat power of this army, Ziying is not a professional, and there is no good way for a while.

However, in the early Warring States period, Wei Wuzu could be said to rule the roost in the world, resisting the strong Qin in the west, and convincing Qi and Zhao.Even in the Battle of Yin and Jin, he once set a record of defeating the Qin army of 50 with [-] soldiers.

Regarding his training method, Ziying once read an introduction in his previous life. First of all, it is high-intensity training. , with a crown and a sword, win three days of food, and travel hundreds of miles in the middle of the day. The pilot test will restore his household."

Equipping each sergeant with heavy armor and carrying weapons for a half-day march of hundreds of miles is not only unaffordable with Raoyang's current foundation, but also worthy, and not many can persist with the current state of Raoyang's garrison.

Therefore, we can only proceed step by step. As soon as Ziying heard about the drought in the south, he immediately thought that this is a very good opportunity. The weight of the sergeant can be replaced by a water tool filled with water, and the arrival time is limited, which can also have a certain training effect.

It can not only train the endurance of the army, but also resist drought and disaster relief, killing two birds with one stone.

The only one who complained was probably Xu Chengjun, who was still working hard to settle accounts. Ziying's behavior greatly increased the appetite of the soldiers, and the consumption of food and grass in the city increased significantly.

If it weren't for Raoyang's location on the border, a lot of food and fodder had been allocated for the garrison of the Yan State on weekdays, and Sima Shang, who "eating the inside and outside", waved his hand when he left, using his position in the army to bring in a lot of food and fodder. Rao Yang at that time might not be able to support Ziying's torment.
