Chapter 94: It's still necessary to plan ahead
To paraphrase the old saying "time flies, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle".
From the time Lu Wu arrived at "Jiaogang" to make preparations, a month passed quickly.
The sun was shining in the sky, the temperature was getting higher and higher, and the scenery in the wilderness was changing slightly.
On this day, LΓΌ Wu, like everyone else, received the order to pull the camp forward.
They have their own guesses.
A day earlier, the new army had left the city of Jiaogang and marched in the direction of the west.
Today, the lower army also received the order to pull out.
Does it indicate that the Qin people have arrived?
In fact, Qin Jun, who is surnamed Ying, Zhao, and famous, had already led his army across the river three days ago and came to the east bank of the river.
The Qin army set up the camp fifty miles west of "Jiaogang", that is, about twenty miles away from the river, on the edge of a "building".
Their arrival was immediately detected by the Jin army scouts, and the news was first transmitted to the legion commander, and then the legion commander reported it to the monarch.
The monarch of the Jin Kingdom, who had just ascended the throne, was very arrogant as if he didn't know that Qin Jun had arrived, and he had to send someone over to pay his respects, so he was satisfied with the order to pull out the camp and go west.
Here, too, the "unspoken rule" of the monarch's inability to command the army is manifested.
For example, the new army did not receive an order from the monarch and left "Jiaogang" early to go west.
It was the idea of Zuo Zhizhi of the new army to be the first to be promoted, and he also forcibly suppressed the opposition of Zhao Zhan, the general of the new army.
Zhao Zhan objected, and when he saw that he was resolute, he gave up insisting.
Of course, this is the reason why the Hao clan is strong, but more importantly, Zhao Zhan has already sensed his situation.
Now Zhao Zhan wants to keep his rights, and in the face of the Yin family's dominance, he doesn't want to make enemies with the Yin family compared to losing authority.
Faced with the fact that the new army did not get his own orders, or ran away before he pretended to come to ask for instructions, after losing his temper, he could only admit in humiliation.
In high-level matters, Han Ju is an old man and not a subordinate, so he won't tell Lu Wu everything.
Han Qi and some other juniors would say it, but they were so busy that they didn't have personal time, and they couldn't see Lu Wu's little friend.
It's just that Lu Wu, who is just the brigade commander, of course won't know what happened.
The Jin army's camp had its own rhythm.
The soldiers unhurriedly packed their belongings, and then they reported to their superiors and lined up for the order to leave.
The movement of the camp was carried out by the auxiliaries. They were also unhurried, first putting away the tents and loading the carts, then pulling out the fences, packing up the horses and other things, and then going to the soldiers in charge of the service to receive their bags.
Order.
The charioteer's hand drove the horses pulling the cart along, and the soldiers marched in a line behind the chariot.
One "pawn" after another formed a column, led by chariots and followed by a suitable number of infantry, marching westward like a long dragon.
LΓΌ Wu stood on the chariot and looked out into the wilderness, but did not find a figure of a scout cruising.
Of course, he would not doubt the military ability of the commander of the first army, but he would wonder how Han Ju believed in the integrity of the Qin people so much, and was not afraid of not sending scouts to encounter a surprise attack.
As the commander of the legion, Han Ju actually didn't believe in the integrity of the Qin people, he had enough confidence in the Jin State.
Once Qin Jun brought his troops to the alliance, but he did such a thing as a sneak attack, the Jin Kingdom would inevitably be furious.
At that time, even if the Qin army killed everyone in the lower army, including the monarch, it would only let the Jin State enter a situation of endless fighting with the Qin State, and it would be impossible for the war to stop without fighting one side to destroy the country.
Although the Jin Kingdom fell from the throne of the overlord country, no country dared to underestimate the Jin State.
Therefore, Han Ju's self-confidence is not blind, but the firm belief that the Qin State will not dare to bring about its own destruction.
A city that is accustomed to the steel jungle will be comfortable when you come to a place where the scenery is pristine as far as the eye can see.
Lu Wu felt comfortable with this kind of scenery at first, but after a long time, he began to miss living in the city of the steel jungle.
Along the way, he wanted to say that what he enjoyed was listening to the footsteps of thirty or forty thousand soldiers.
He was extremely amazed at the quality of the Jin army.
First of all, each family plays its own. They really hadn't assembled to train on the march, but they were always able to get out of the sound of neat steps.
You must know that even if it is a modern team that is specially used as a benchmark, if you want to step out of the unified step, you need to go through very strict and long-term training.
How did the Jin army get it? The tacit understanding can be so good!
To put it bluntly, if Lu Wu had grown up in the Jin Kingdom since he was a child in this era and was a powerful nobleman, he would understand what was going on.
Look at the soldiers on the march, each with pride on their faces.
Looking at them to restrain themselves to keep up with the pace of their companions, is it a rigidity that belongs to the Jin people, and how can it not be the sense of honor brought by being a soldier of the overlord country?
After a day's march, the troops were temporarily stationed as night approached.
The next day, after eating the morning meal, the troops continued their march.
It was about the same time as the sun was falling, and the troops came to the vicinity of the new military camp.
Farther away, a military camp that seemed to cover a large area was undoubtedly the camp of the Qin army.
The two camps are ten miles apart, and there are many people in the middle who are busy.
They were building a high platform, and it looked like they were nearing completion.
The alliance definitely needs a high platform, something like a pyramid, and a platform will be left on it.
When the time comes, the kings of the two countries will meet at the meeting platform.
The new army did not build a camp for the lower army first.
The army that had just arrived found a suitable place to start setting up a camp, but in about two hours, the camp had begun to show its scale.
During this period, Zhao Zhan and Yin Zhi came together and pretended to make amends to the monarch.
The monarch looked at the two of them looking at the fake apology of the two, and shouted angrily: "This is a minister? β
Zhao Zhan saluted, apologized again, and said: "Think about the king, and lead the army to defend the Qin army." β
Yin Zhi smiled wryly.
"Huh?" Xu Tong stood on the left side of the monarch and said in a strange manner: "Is there a lack of morality in the monarch? The two are secretaries, and they should be the foundation of ministers. β
Han Ju's eyes looked sharply at this woman named Xu Tong, but he didn't say anything.
It is not clear whether this woman named Xu Tong was used as a-stirring stick or was stirred up of.
He has sisters who are the king's favorite concubines.
Xun Gang looked at the pale face with interest, with a smile on his face.
The monarch was furious again, and sneered: "As a minister, it is inherently unavoidable, and An can hold himself without an order?" β
Xu Tong laughed a few times like "hehe".
A prostitute dares to jump up and down?
If Zhao Zhan and Hao Zhi can endure it, they will not be nobles.
He was about to have a seizure, but was preempted by one person.
"Everyone!" Shi Yi was one of the central ministers who traveled with the monarch, and said loudly: "Which is more important to come here to make an alliance with the Qin monarch?" β
After such a fuss, Zhao Zhan and Xin Zhi were embarrassed to the extreme, and they left directly with a blushing face.
The great nobles also had an opinion about the monarch.
They unanimously felt that this monarch was so difficult to serve as soon as he took the throne, and they would definitely not be happy to get along in the future.
