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

Chapter 180, The builder of the new world and 'The advantage is mine'

December 37, the 7th year of the First Emperor's reign.

From the six counties of the Han Dynasty, the pavilion chiefs and li chiefs gathered in Chenjun.

Chen County, outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Wu Jun looked at the increasingly lively city with a sigh on his face. He had not been to Chen County for more than half a year and felt a little strange.

There were more and more waterwheels on the river. From the time he entered Chen County, waterwheels could be seen in almost every village. There were even more than one waterwheel in some villages. Wu Jun could only feel envious. In this situation, he could only see waterwheels. It can be seen in the wealthy Chen County.

When Wu Jun went to Xixiang, Yingchuan County to work as a rose farmer, he naturally wanted to bring the advanced tools Chen Jun had learned to Xixiang. What he had always wanted to do when he was in office was to popularize a waterwheel in every village. But to solve the problem of field irrigation, the power brought by the waterwheel can also greatly reduce the hard work of pounding rice, giving villagers more time to make money.

But Xixiang was too poor to do this. Wu Jun tried his best to organize the people, cut down trees and assemble waterwheels by himself, but he only managed to get 4 waterwheels. But these 4 waterwheels could Hundreds of acres of paddy fields were added to Xixiang and irrigation of thousands of acres of land was improved.

Originally he thought he had made some achievements, but when he saw the cluster of waterwheels in Chen County and the vast expanse of sparkling rice fields, his small achievements were not worth mentioning at all.

In addition to the waterwheels in Chen County, Wu Jun was amazed by the increasingly taller chimneys. The chimneys of these blast furnaces were already very high before, but now they are twice as tall as the city walls of Chen County, and they are also thicker. Although he didn't know how to make iron, he also understood that the thicker and longer the pipe was, the more iron could be made. The more iron was made, the more weapons the Han army would have, and the stronger the Han army would be. , farm tools are cheap, and the Han can produce more grain. Even in Xixiang, he can feel that their Han power is becoming more and more powerful.

"Chen Lei, this name sounds nice and easy to remember!" Wu Jun said with a thumbs up.

December 37, the 7th year of the First Emperor's reign.

"You are working as a rose farmer in Xixiang, Nanyang County. How is your situation?" Shu asked.

"No!" These people were originally from the Han army and had fought with the Qin army with spears. Naturally, they couldn't care less about the danger. Instead, they were even more excited that they could advance to a higher level.

"Wu Jun" suddenly two voices called him.

"Brother Shu, Brother Tugen, Brother Wu Jun!" One person suddenly said in surprise.

Wu Jun looked in the direction of the voice and smiled: "Brother Shu, Brother Tugen, are you there too?"

Shitou worked as a tour payer in Jiujiang County and Daze Township, and was also the number one person. Naturally, he needed a formal name, so he asked a scholar to help him choose the name Chen Lei.

Shuhe Tugen smiled and said: "We also want to make progress. After the last imperial examination, we also think what you said is reasonable. We can't continue like this without making progress, otherwise you will become the county magistrate and we will still be the chief of the pavilion." , why do we still have the dignity to be your big brother? We have worked very hard in the past six months, memorizing 10 words every day, and now we know thousands of words. We brothers will definitely pass the imperial examination this time."

The last imperial examination had a great impact on the two of them. They have always been good friends and are now the mayor of the township, and they may get better and better in the future. If they continue to be unwilling to make progress, the gap between the two sides will become wider and wider. Big, they have no face to Zhao Wujun, so the two of them have been working hard in the past six months.

Not long after, Zhou Zhang appeared and said to them: "The King of Han has occupied the northern Kingdom of Zhao, and a group of Han officials are needed there. You will be the first batch of Han officials to support you. Although the Kingdom of Zhao is a bit dangerous, you can advance to the first level if you go to the Kingdom of Zhao." , if there are no problems, you are ready to set off."

The next day, these more than 500 Xu Fan's loyalists set foot on the road north to Zhao State.

500 Han officials came to the front line of Baima County.

Chen Lei said: "Our Jiujiang County is better. The Qin army in the south also rebelled. They will be our allies in the future. Most of the civilians who transported grain and grass have returned, but many people are unhappy and have not made any achievements." , a trip in vain.”

Wu Jun and others laughed and said, "Brother Tugen is right."

Wu Jun said: "Now the focus of the Han Dynasty is on the battlefield of the Yellow River. There are three hundred civilians in our township transporting grain and grass for General Yingbu. In addition to the soldiers who have joined the army, there are only a few young people in Xixiang. Women and children are doing the work in the fields. Although the war is going well, everyone is still a little worried that the harvest will be affected if their families cannot come back during the harvest season.”

"Stone!" Wu Jun and the other three saw the stone coming towards them.

At this time, a petty official summoned Wu Jun and others to the hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Shi Shi said with a smile: "My name will be Chen Lei from now on, and I can't say anything about Shi Shi anymore."

Shudao said: "It's the same here. There are not many young people in the whole village. This year's harvest will definitely be affected."

Tu Gen smiled and said: "How can this be a waste of time? After solving the enemies in the south, General Ji Bu can lead the troops to support the King of Han. This will increase the chance of the King of Han's victory. I didn't hear that the Northern Xinjiang army fought this time was already a member of the Qin Dynasty." The last elite of the country is here. If we eliminate them, the world will be at peace, and we can live a good life with the King of Han from now on."

Xu Fan personally summoned them and encouraged them: "Now the old world of Qin Dynasty is about to be destroyed by our Han Dynasty, but destroying the old world alone will not give us a happy life. We have to build a new one." The world is a world where as long as you work hard, you can get a good life, and you are the builders of this world."

"We must stick to our original aspiration and build Zhao State into the same state as our Han State, so that ordinary people do not have to worry about corvee service, military service and death, so that people can have enough to eat and live a good life with their own labor. Who can Anyone who dares to prevent you from leading the people to live a good life is your enemy, the enemy of Han, and the enemy of the people in the world who want to live a good life. You must resolutely eliminate such people."

After hearing Xu Fan's speech, Wu Jun and others all said excitedly: "Build a new world and live a good life!"

"Build a new world and live a good life!"

"Build a new world and live a good life!"

On the side, Xiang Bo, who was curious to participate, turned pale when he heard the shouts of 500 people. He approached Zhang Liang and asked in a low voice: "Zifang, this Zhao country does not belong to Zhao Xie, Zhang Er and the others. Now the King of Han is sending such a large number of people." Han officials, shouldn’t you?”

After the last alliance meeting, Xiang Bo stayed in Baima, mainly to observe the battle between Xu Fan and Meng Tian. Xiang Liang understood that the victory or defeat on the center battlefield would determine whether he could stand firm on the ground, so he Arrange for Xiang Bo to stay here to get first-hand news.

Zhang Liang said calmly: "The virtuous people in the world live here. Zhao Xie and Zhang Er can't defeat the Qin army externally, and they can't protect the people of Zhao. Now it's up to the King of Han to protect the people of Zhao, not to mention that the King of Han has not captured it." Zhao Xie's land is just to recover the land occupied by Qin, who can say anything about this."

Xiang Bo said anxiously: "How can this be the same?"

Zhang Liang glanced at Xiang Bo and said: "Your brother Xiang Liang has been heading north all the way, and recently he has been named King of Qi Tianjia. According to your wishes, Bo Xiang, after the general captures Qi, he will return the country of Qi to Tianjia, will you lead the army back to Chu by yourself?"

Zhang Liang had long seen that Xiang Liang was so interested in Fu Qi that he even took Tianjia into his care because he wanted to build his hegemony based on Qi. He just saw through it without saying anything.

Xiang Bo also said that he was speechless. His elder brother was planning to conquer the land, so what qualifications did he have to criticize the King of Han? After all, the world will never return to the way it was before.

The timeline goes back to July 37, the 7th year of the First Emperor's reign, in Linzi County and Linqu County.

Xiang Liang's army recaptured Langya County along the way. After a short rest, Xiang Liang's army invaded Linzi territory. Xiang Liang's army pursued for 400 miles and penetrated deep into the ground, but still did not see the Qin army's intention to resist.

The Qin army retreated so quickly, which made Xiang Liang uneasy. Xiang Bo sent news from Baima that Meng Tian's Northern Xinjiang army had not been severely damaged, which made Feng Jie's retreat even more suspicious. He was very cautious along the way, and his army was cautious and protected in front and behind, for fear of being attacked by the Qin army. As a result, his army marched for more than 400 miles and reached Linzi County, without any sign of the Qin army.

Xiang Liang stopped on his horse, looked back at his army behind him, let out a long breath and said, "What are Feng Jie's plans?

"The Qin army has really run out of food and fodder and can't hold it anymore?"

Fan Zeng said: "General, you must be more careful at this time. Our army is only one step away from capturing Linzi County and occupying the entire Qi area and achieving hegemony. Be careful not to fall short of your success." At this time, Xiang Yu rode over on a black horse and said, "Uncle, There is no trace of the Qin army within a 30-mile radius."

During this period, Xiang Yu was extremely depressed. He wanted to lead an army to attack Feng Jie's army several times, but Xiang Liang refused on the grounds that he should not pursue the enemy, so he, a pioneer general, started to explore horses.

"What's the situation in Linqu City? Is there any Qin army stationed there?"

Linqu City is the last line of defense of Linzi City. If there is no Qin army stationed, then Xiang Liang's army can attack Linzi City, and the most fertile land in Qi will be under Xiang Liang's sword.

"I don't know, my nephew is not that far away."

Xiang Liang immediately said: "Send a detective horse to investigate!"

Xiang Yu said a little unwillingly: "Uncle, you are always so cautious. If you had listened to my nephew, Feng Jie's 100,000-strong army would have been defeated by us, and Qi State would have been captured by us. Why should you be so cautious?"

Xiang Liang glared at Xiang Yu and said, "Being cautious is a virtue for a general. Tian Heng led an army of 10 to surround Linzi. He had hoped to occupy Linzi and revive the entire Qi State, but he was too careless and was killed by Meng Yi. The battle was defeated and he lost his best chance to regain Linzi.

When our army captures Linzi, he will lose Qi forever. Although this is just Tian Heng's failure, we must also take a warning. How can a 10 Qin army be so easy to deal with? "

Xiang Yu was unconvinced and said: "The King of Han's strategy is like a fire, but he is not as cautious as my uncle."

Xiang Liang lectured: "Then you must have the strength of the King of Han. The King of Han can withstand Meng Tian's 30 northern troops, but can we?"

The King of Han owns the Han State and has a complete official system. Even if the 30-strong army is defeated, he can still raise an army. But if our 13-strong army is defeated, the land of the four counties will not be ours. When the time comes, our uncle My nephew is going to be on the run. "

Fan Zeng said with a smile: "Yu'er, you keep talking about the King of Han, but after the King of Han cut off Meng Tian's grain route, you can see that the King of Han can take the initiative to cross the Yellow River and defeat Meng Tian's 30 army."

Fan Zeng said in a serious tone: "No, instead he sent the newly recruited Zhonglang General Peng Yue to continue to cut off the grain and grass transported from Qidi to Chaoge, hoping to completely cut off the Qin army's grain and grass, and then defeat the Qin army at the minimum cost.

And when Wancheng was besieged on all sides, "Chu Zhaonu" and "Alive" spread all over the world. I don't know how many Qin soldiers were helped by helping the King of Han. Without the support of these soldiers, how could the King of Han have the fighting power to dominate the world now if he only relied on the rebels? of the Han army.

Yu'er, look at it, the King of Han still relies on wisdom in battles. It is impossible for the King of Han to build such a big foundation just by relying on the bravery of a reckless man. It can be said that the political wisdom of the King of Han is even more powerful than his bravery. These are all yours A place to learn. "

Fan Zeng's words made Xiang Yu obviously deep in thought. In the past, he only paid attention to the martial arts of the King of Han, but never thought that the wisdom of the King of Han was also the best in the world.

Not long after, Tan Ma came and reported: "The battle flag hanging on the tower of Linqu City is Feng Jie's."

Fan Zeng immediately asked: "How many people are there in the city?"

The spy frowned and said, "We don't know."

Xiang Liang said: "Keep exploring!"

"promise!"

Fan Zeng thought for a moment and said: "Feng Jie retreated for more than 400 miles. It seems that the Qin army did have a huge problem with its food and grass, so much so that Meng Yi couldn't even bear the 400 miles of food roads. Linqu City is about three hundred miles away from Linzi. Here, Feng Jie does not want Qi to be defended, and it is impossible to continue to retreat. If we retreat further, the Qin army's power in Qi will collapse."

Xiang Liang frowned and said, "Even if the Qin army lacks food, Feng Jie's 10 people are not easy to fight."

Fan Zeng was full of confidence and said with a smile: "I think that the more Feng Jie retreats, the easier it is for the Qin army to fight. Our army has regained Langya County, and now it has defeated Feng Jie and penetrated deep into Qi. The Qi people were oppressed by the Qin people. This time By now the general had been identified as the savior.

The general thought about it and realized that Tian Dan could assemble 30 troops in Qi with just one call. Tian Heng was repeatedly defeated, but he already had nearly 10 troops in his hands. This shows that the Qi people have a large population, and at the same time they are facing The hatred of the Qin people will never be lost to that of our Chu people. "

"The general should have set up the banner of Tianjia by now. If the banner of Tianjia is set up for a month, the general will definitely gain the support of the people of Qi. By then, even recruiting 30 troops will be easy. The entire Qi There are only a hundred thousand Qin people in the land, how could they suppress millions of Qi people?"

"Now the general's main task is not to defeat Feng Jie, but to find a way to gain the support of the powerful people of Qi. With their support, the general can gain a stable rule in Qi."

Xiang Liang suddenly realized, yes! He still has the banner of Tianjia. Now that he has reached Linzi County, it is time for Tianjia to exert its greatest effect. With an army of 30 in hand and millions of Qi people supporting him, Feng Jie’s 10 Qin army can’t be counted. Nothing serious.

Xiang Liang listened to Fan Zeng's opinion and first supported Tianjia as the king of Qi. He raised the banner of Tianjia and said he wanted to revive the Qi state. The powerful landlords who had long been unable to withstand the oppression of the Qin people discovered that Xiang Liang's army defeated Feng Jie, especially when he fought The flag was still the flag of King Qi, so everyone pretended not to see the fact that Xiang Liang was from Chu, and defected to Xiang Liang's army one after another. Xiang Liang's army expanded rapidly again.

The words were divided into two parts. Zhang Han led an army of 5 people to go out at night and hide in the day. He used all methods and spent a month to finally reach Linzi City.

Meng Yi saw Zhang Han and asked, "How is the situation over there, brother?"

Zhang Han said: "It's very bad. The Han army's combat strength far exceeded the general's expectation. We didn't take advantage of the head-on confrontation. Recently, the puppet king of Han recruited another rebel general named Peng Yue. This man is good at water warfare and has many advantages. Looting the food and fodder of the Northern Xinjiang Army, the general has nothing to do in this situation."

Meng Yi was a little shocked. He didn't expect that his elder brother would be in such a difficult situation.

Feng Jie, who was on the side, snorted coldly: "What Han army? That's our Qin army. Xu Fan, the pseudo-Han king, is used to bewitching soldiers. More than half of the Han armies under his command were trained by us. Otherwise, why would other rebels The army will collapse at the first touch, but the Han army is as powerful as our army in combat effectiveness."

Meng Yi and Zhang Han thought about it and realized that this was really the case. They have never seen such a rebellious person like Xu Fan, nor have they seen it in thousands of years of history. They can actually bewitch the enemy's soldiers to become their own army, and their combat effectiveness has skyrocketed. Even now, they can't figure out how Xu Fan did it. Arrived.

Zhang Han said with a smile: "Xu Fan won't be able to take advantage for long. When we defeat Xiang Liang in this battle, we will lead the army to the Central Plains. This time we will get back our money with profits."

Meng Yi said: "Let's deal with Xiang Liang first and then discuss Xu Fan's matter."

Then Meng Yi said: "Xiang Liang pursued all the way and now set up camp in Linqu City, but he did not attack the city immediately. Instead, he used the banner of the last Qi King Jian's brother Tianjia to recruit Qi people. It is said that there are thousands and tens of thousands of people every day. The people of Qi defected to Xiang Liang, which allowed Xiang Liang's army to recover very quickly. If he was really given a month, he might be able to get hundreds of thousands of troops."

Feng Jie sneered and said: "Qi people are just a mob, when have they ever won a battle?"

It's no wonder that Feng Jie despises the Qi people. Although they have a large number of people, they can easily defeat hundreds of thousands of troops without a fight. Such a record is so impressive.

Zhang Han also smiled and said: "It is beneficial to our army that Xiang Liang summoned so many rabble. If Xiang Liang's army were still elites trained by him, the cost of our raid would be very high. But now that there are so many Qi people in Xiang Liang's army, we are attacked by a surprise attack." The whole army will definitely be in chaos, which gives us an opportunity to take advantage of. I thought I would let Xiang Liang recruit more Qi people so that we can catch them all in one fell swoop."

Meng Yi frowned and said, "But if Xiang Liang notices our reinforcements, we will really be in a cocoon by then."

Zhang Han said: "Wait five days, there should be tens of thousands of rebels in Xiang Liang's army by then, and our army will need a period of rest after traveling a long distance."

Feng Jie and Meng Yi also felt that Zhang Han's proposal was reasonable and agreed.
