At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 146, The strong man goes deep into the binding and the first battle with the overlord

The next day, Lu Shu came to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion of Han Dynasty.

An official looked at his information and said: "Lu Shu, 441 in the imperial examination."

Lu Shu nodded and said, "That's me."

The official said: "Our country of Han has three arrangements for qualified personnel like you. The first is to join the army."

"Join the army!" Lu Shu was startled.

The official ordered: "You have trained for three months, learned the military discipline and rules of the Han Dynasty well, and know how to command the soldiers to line up to meet the enemy. Then go down and serve as a garrison in the army. The salary of the army is better than that of the garrison." For a hundred stones, you will be in the army for food, accommodation and salary, and you can save all your salary."

This is a kind of crash course for military officers, except that none of these supervisory troops have military command authority.

Lu Shu said: "The little man has no power to restrain the chicken. Joining the army is not suitable. What are the other options?"

Although a man's reputation is only for horses, he is not ready for this yet.

"When I become a master, my wife in Chen County will receive a monthly salary of 2 dan, while in the countryside I will be provided with 100 acres of land."

In the end, Jing Tao's demonstration was so effective that he became a rebel cavalry captain in less than a year. They felt that they could do it too. There are also a few Jing family children who plan to go to the Moh family to try their luck. After all, the Moh family used to be a prominent school. Now with the support of the King of Han, the Moh family has more opportunities.

"Finally, we enter the various workshops of our rebel army. There are the mechanical workshops of the Gongshu family and the iron-making workshops of the Mo family. This is where you rely on your skills to make a living. If you have a technical certificate and a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, you can do it, but If you don’t have talent, you might be kicked out.”

Jing Tao said: "The safest thing is to be a master, but although this is stable, it is difficult to get ahead."

Sitting on both sides of Jing Yi were a row of Jing family elders. If anyone dared to mess around, his father would definitely give him a cold look, so these Jing family children were extremely calm.

A large number of other poor scholars like Lu Shu joined the army and became the supervisors of the Han army. The supervisors were already officers of the Han state. Although they had to take the risk of fighting, the officers had already achieved their goals. Their class has made a leap, and scholars of this era are still willing to take risks to gain a better future.

Jing Yi looked at the family members seriously and said, "For your future, I called Jing Tao here. He knows the inside of the Han Kingdom better and can give you guidance on your future."

After thinking for a long time, Lu Shu felt that it would be safer for him to become a master.

Sishui County, Xiapi County, Xiangliang Military Camp.

There are many powerful nobles like the Jing family. Most of the descendants of the Xiang family have joined the army and become governors. Most of the Qu family are engaged in the profession of master, but no matter how rare the opportunity is, they will send a few disciples to the profession. After diversifying risks and seeing that the Han Dynasty could withstand the Qin army's attack, these nobles and powerful men began to bind the Han Dynasty deeply like vines.

"This treatment is not bad." Lu Shu secretly said.

At this time, an elder of the Jing family frowned and said, "It's still too dangerous to join the army. Is there a safer way?"

Jing Lang frowned, they despised Baigong the most, otherwise the Gongshu family would not have been killed by them and hidden in the world. "

A group of Jing family children were dejected. They thought that the Han military imperial examination was too easy and they could pass it easily. However, they did not expect that the competition would be so fierce. Only 8 people from the Jing family passed the examination and became field officials, and the rest could only settle down in Han Dynasty. Choose a path out of the career directions offered by the Army.

Jing Tao smiled and said: "If you have such an idea, just join the army and become a garrison. Then, if you are not afraid of death on the battlefield and make repeated military exploits, you will be promoted to captain in no time. But I want to explain to you first that even in Among the rebels, the casualty rate of Tun-level officers exceeds 3%. Low-cost officers have the highest casualties in the army. Of course, they are promoted the fastest, but it is difficult to be promoted to my level. When I joined the rebels, The total strength of the rebel army is only more than 2, and now the standing army needs to be expanded by 30. Such an opportunity is rare."

Jing Tao said: "Yes, the King of Han attaches great importance to the art of weapons. Both the Gongshu family and the Mohist family are valued. Especially since the Mohist family is now in decline. If you can join the Mohist family now, you will definitely be valued by the King of Han."

Yang County, Jingfu.

Originally, many children of the Jing family were unwilling to enter the professions offered by the Han army. In their view, becoming a field official was already very embarrassing. Now it is even more embarrassing not to be admitted to the Han Dynasty to do those mundane tasks, but their parents must have pressured them. To enter the Han Kingdom.

Jing Lang said: "I don't want to be a small official, I want to be as high and powerful as my cousin."

Xiang Liang came with great force. He annexed Chen Ying's tribe in three days and forced Chen Ying to flee. In one month, he captured all the heroes of Donghai County and expanded his military strength to 7 people. His strength was greater than that of the Qin army and the military officials combined. powerful.

Fan Zeng looked at the Qin Jiaqi and Wuchen coalition camps across the Sishui River and talked eloquently: "Donghai County blocks Huaihe from the sea, connects Qiju to the north, and Wuhui to the south. At that time, Fucha wanted to expedition north to the Central Plains and built Hangou to connect Jianghuai and Qi to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains. , although the Kingdom of Wu fell later, Donghai County, located in the Jianghuai River, was developed. It has thousands of hectares of fertile land and tens of thousands of households. It can be said to be the foundation of hegemony. Our army has taken Sishui County from the north. Now our army only needs to defeat the enemy in front of us. With the combined forces of Qin, Jia and Wuchen, we can establish hegemony!"

"We also think the same way. As a Jing family member, I am born to do big things."

At this time, Qin Jiacai discovered that this was not an ally. It was a beast that devoured everything. When Xiang Liang's 7-strong army was stationed at the foot of Xiapi City, Qin Jiawuchen was worried about being raided by Xiang Liang, so he also led 4 troops to station in Surabaya, Hebei. The two armies have been facing each other across the river for three days.

Xiang Liang looked at the camp in the direction of Qin Jia and said: "Qin Jiawuchen is indeed a rebel army from Chen County. The camp is rigorous and the military formation is tight. He looks like an elite soldier. He is not even inferior to my Jiangdong children. If this battle is not fought well, Our army will suffer heavy losses."

During this period, Xiang Liang had a confrontation with the Qin army's military ministers. He found that the Qin army's military ministers' coalition was more organized and mobilized faster than his army. He tried to cross the Sishui River several times but was blocked by Qin Jia. .

In terms of the organization of the army, Xiang Liang's army, which had attracted 6 heroes from all sides, was already in disarray, and its combat effectiveness could not be compared with that of Qin Jia and Wu Chen's army.

Xiang Yu said disdainfully: "How can the coalition forces of Qin, Jia, and Wuchen compare with my Jiangdong brothers? Uncle, my nephew is willing to lead 3000 cavalry to take the heads of Qin, Jia, and Wuchen."

Xiang Liang glared at Xiang Yu and said, "How can you mess around with military affairs?"

Xiang Yu said: "Uncle, I don't know the power of cavalry. Xiangzhuang and the others have equipped Xu Fan's cavalry with equipment, which can greatly enhance the impact of the cavalry. The reason why Xu Fan's army is invincible has a lot to do with these equipment." It has a big relationship." Hearing this, Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng hesitated. They had collected intelligence on the rebels, and Xu Fan was the top priority. All the battle reports from Xu Fan's debut made Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng the most The confusing part is that the impact of the cavalry in Xu Fan's hands is too fierce. It is not like cavalry but like a chariot.

Xu Fanmeng and the others are not surprised. After all, there are always people with extraordinary talents. His nephew Xiang Yu is also a fierce general who can defeat ten thousand enemies. However, Xu Fan led a group of Chu people to fight a more powerful cavalry than the Zhao people and the Qin people. This is very strange. , but Xiang Liang and the others had too many things to do and didn’t care.

But Xiang Yu, who hangs out with Xiang Zhuang every day, got this information. He was overjoyed after putting on the three-piece cavalry suit. He found that the impact of the cavalry was more than doubled. The cavalry, which could only be used as an auxiliary force, was now Xiang Yu, who can become the master on the battlefield and likes to charge forward, found out that with such equipment, the cavalry became more to his liking. This is the type of soldier he has always wanted.

Xiang Liang and the others asked Xiang Yu to bring a war horse over, and then he rode on it. As expected, it was much smoother. With the stirrups, his waist also had a point of strength.

After riding the war horse for several times, Xiang Liang came down and said, "No wonder the impact of Xu Fan's cavalry is so powerful. It turns out it's all because of these equipment."

Fan Zeng thought for a while and said: "If you want to annex the Qin Jia tribe at a very small cost, you can only win by surprise. Yu'er's novel equipment is a big variable. The general can mobilize the army and make a plan to cross the Sishui River and Qin Jia The military officials fought to the death and dispersed their troops, while Yu'er crossed the river in the distance and unexpectedly killed the two military officials of Qin and Jia."

Xiang Liang looked at the military camp of the Qin army and thought that the stalemate was difficult to break and said, "Just do what Brother Fan said."

Xiang Yu smiled and said, "My nephew is going to prepare now."

He rode his war horse to his men and said, "Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

"Kill!" Three thousand cavalrymen followed Xiang Yu and ran along the Sishui River.

Qin Jia, the military minister, stood to the west of Surabaya and looked at Xiang Liang's army, with sad expressions on his face.

After all, the world is different from what he thought. He proclaimed Jing Ju as the King of Chu. Xu Fan did not care as he thought, but changed the name to King of Han. When he heard the news, he was extremely excited because His bet was right, Xu Fan really didn't care about these things.

But he was wrong about other things. Xiang Liang, who he thought was inferior to him in strength, crossed the Yangtze River and first annexed Chen Ying's tribe, and then regained the heroes of Donghai County. His power grew all the way and was unstoppable. In less than a month, the entire Donghai County was annexed by Xiang Liang, and his strength expanded to the point that even he was afraid.

Facing the menacing Xiang Liang, Qin Jia understood that this was not his ally, but a beast that wanted to annex him. After realizing this, Qin Jia and Wu Chen immediately led the main force stationed on the Sishui River bank to prevent Xiang Liang's army from entering Sishui County.

Wu Chen was a little angry and said: "Isn't a noble nobleman so great? What ability does Xiang Liang have? He can't rely on his own reputation."

It's no wonder that Wu Chen was so angry. After Xiang Liang crossed the Yangtze River, he didn't experience a war at all along the way. He just relied on Xiang Yan's prestige to collect heroes' troops along the way, and actually developed them to a level stronger than them. Like Wu Chen The person with such a grassroots background is most angry with this second generation of aristocrats, especially since he easily accomplished what he had to work hard to achieve. This kind of resentment can be imagined.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The war drums sounded in Xiang Liang's army, and Qin Jia and the others found that Xiang Liang's army was preparing to cross the river again.

Qin Jia immediately shouted: "The crossbowmen are in front, blocking Xiang Liang's army and not allowing them to cross the river."

Qin Jiawuchen's 4 allied troops also began to mobilize following Xiang Liang's army, blocking Xiang Liang's army so that they could not cross the river.

"Archers shoot, don't worry about long arrows, don't let Xiang Liang's army get close," Liu Bang yelled.

"Boohoo! A large number of bows and arrows were fired at Xiang Liang's army crossing the river. Those soldiers seemed to be really frightened. They were halfway across the river and immediately retreated."

Liu Bang stepped back to the river bank with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and then summoned several of his friends, Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, Lu Wan, and Xia Houying to discuss.

Liu Bang asked them to encircle the city and whispered: "The coalition of Qin Jia and Wu Chen looks like it is going to be defeated. Please be careful during this time. Don't rush to the front and let my children from Peixian County sacrifice themselves in vain. If the situation is not good, then Run, got it?"

Liu Bang was able to mix well in Qin Jiajun. Qin Jia also made Liu Bang Zuo Sima when he was the commander of Yin. He was regarded as a middle-level and senior leader in Qin Jiajun. However, Liu Bang was extremely sober. Qin Jia's power has not increased during this period, and he supported Chu. The king cut off his own foundation again. There was originally a plan to form an alliance with Xiang Liang and Chen Ying, which seemed promising.

As a result, I didn't expect that after Xiang Liang crossed the river, he first annexed Chen Ying's tribe, and then recruited the entire Eastern Navy. The strength increased rapidly, and the original alliance plan could no longer be implemented. On the contrary, Qin Jiawuchen is now sandwiched between Xu Fan and Xiang Liang, with no room for development. Liu Bang didn't want to die with Qin Jia.

Fan Kuai asked: "Who will we seek refuge with if we escape?"

Liu Bang said: "Of course he led his army to join the King of Han. The King of Han tolerated Qin Jia's treatment of the King of Han. His magnanimity cannot be matched by that of a noble man. If you follow the King of Han, you don't have to worry about losing the bird and hiding the bow."

The armies of both sides fought across the Sishui River in this way, because Xiang Liang's army had 7 soldiers and the Qin army's military ministers coalition only had 4 people. This greatly widened the distance between the Qin army and the military ministers coalition.

However, Qin Jia and Wu Chen found that although Xiang Liang's army tried hard to cross the river, it was easily suppressed by their own soldiers. Especially during the battle, several Xiang Liang's armies were defeated.

Qin Jia laughed and said: "What kind of noble family does it look like?"

Wu Chen thought for a while and said: "Xiang Liang's soldiers from Jiangdong should be elite, but they later recruited 6 Donghai County rebels. These people are just a mob. In terms of combat effectiveness, Xiang Liang's army should not be as good as ours."

Qin Jia's eyes lit up and he said, "So we can fight there."

If they could annex Xiang Liang, they would come back to life.

Wu Chen shook his head and said: "We can't afford to lose."

At this time, Wu Chen already regretted his alliance with Qin Jia. Qin Jia seemed to be able to come up with some good strategies, but it was completely unfeasible. Just like when he asked Jing Ju to call him the King of Chu, Xiang Liang did not form an alliance with them, but instead became an enemy. And their actions made Xu Fan hate them. If Xu Fan had Xu Fan as his backer and borrowed Xiang Liang's courage, he would not dare to attack the Sishui County rebels.
