Chapter 119: Hehe, Tomorrow......
Before getting the exact news, Zhang Han would not listen to the wind or rain, and directly thought that Sima Xin or Dong Peng had surrendered.
Even if he did surrender, he needed to confirm it.
And if he hadn't surrendered, according to the time calculation, Sima Xin would have almost passed through Jingxian by now, not far from Xingyang, right?
Therefore, the people who went to contact Sima Xin did not return to Gongxian County to go south, but went directly south, if there was no problem, it should not take more than a day to meet them.
However, due to time problems, Zhang Han can't wait for news no matter what.
The next day, early in the morning.
Dozens of teams of 1,000 people left the barracks in the open and poured out in all directions.
Although there were thousands of people in each branch, the people were terrified.
On the way, the soldiers looked around like devils entering the village, looking a little nervous.
"Old grandson, do you think they will come?"
"That's it, old grandson, you know a lot, tell me, it's not okay to panic in my heart!"
"Me too, until now I left the camp, my legs are soft......"
A group of people set their eyes on the old grandson, who was a little older but the most skilled.
In the early years, the old grandson was a strategist of a county order, and he was well-informed, and later the county commander died of old age, and the old grandson returned to his hometown to retire.
It sounds strange for a person in his forties to go home to retire, but there are many in this era.
A few years ago, the imperial court conscripted labor, and the old grandson was also conscripted.
How can a literati strategist do such menial work?
So I went to find the county Cheng theory, but I didn't see it, so I was yin by someone, and on the grounds of resisting the call, I was directly sent to Lishan to repair the tomb.
Otherwise, if this man is gold, he will shine wherever he goes.
After Lao Sun Tou arrived in Lishan, through his own operation, although he could not restore his identity and could not be an official, he became a second head, and he no longer had to do manual work, and he assisted the officials who guarded them to lead these people.
Some time ago, they were so panicked by the guerrilla generals that they couldn't sleep every night, and they didn't even dare to close their eyes.
Later, the army contracted its defense, and the situation was slightly better, but the guerrillas were still frequently harassed.
They once sent people out to chase them, but none of the pursuers returned one.
Those who came back said they had been ambushed and that they had been pitted when they went out.
As a result, this one was cut when I ran back, and everyone saw that this was okay?
I finally escaped death and came back, but my head disappeared without drinking a sip of water?
So, the people who were sent out to pursue later, even if they didn't die, surrendered directly, and they would be beheaded when they came back anyway, so why bother.
"It should be fine!" The old grandson said calmly.
"Old grandson, will you still count luck?"
"Tell me, how do you know it's okay?"
The discussion of a group of people made Bai Jiang also a little itchy, and he couldn't help urging: "If you know, tell the reason, don't make everyone's hearts unstable." ”
"Hundred generals, in fact, it is very simple, the number of people used for sneak attacks on the opposite side should not be much, and today the battalion has sent more than 10,000 troops, divided into dozens of different directions, each direction is a thousand people, there may still be attacks, it depends on which of these dozens of thousands of people is unlucky......," the old grandson said with a smile.
Such a simple truth, do you still need Lao Tzu to analyze it so thoroughly?
One by one, I don't know what my brain is for.
"Well, it makes sense, their main forces should be in the city, there are only a few outside, and it's useless for one or two hundred to come, the most likely thing is to concentrate four or five hundred people to attack a thousand people, and see which unlucky guy is unlucky!" Bai Jiang nodded and said.
The rest of the trip confirmed the old grandson's speculation, as if they lived on a planet where there were no people at all except them.
Not only did they not encounter a sneak attack of the enemy, but they also did not encounter a single ordinary person.
Finally, I came across a village that was not too large, with about dozens of households, and the thousand-person team hurriedly sent a few people over to investigate.
As a result, a few frightened soldiers who were about to pee their pants turned around three times in one step, and said with tears on their faces that they didn't want to go, until Qianren personally pulled out the crossbow.
After a rough turn in the village, several soldiers who were about to pee their pants suddenly healed their prostate, and ran back excitedly, shouting loudly, no one.
Thousands of popular scolding, no one is happy for you?
But everyone didn't believe in this evil, and they didn't believe that there was no one in this village, so they directly attacked the whole army, and a very real devil came into the village.
It's almost three feet into the ground......
"No one?"
"No one, the bed is very dusty, no one has lived in it for at least a month......"
Some unbelievers went in and looked at it, and found that it was so.
Of course, the bed of this year is not the kind of bed of later generations, not even wood.
It is a solid bed that resembles a kang in shape, but is not hollowed out inside, and is not tall, mostly below the knee, or even somewhat lower.
It is made of clay, and some straw is added to reinforce it, and after a long time, some places are shiny and shiny, and some places fall off pieces of soil one by one.
You don't have to think about the futon or something, that's what only local tyrants can play.
Ordinary people have such a bed, and then spread a thick layer of thatch on it, and then use thicker thatch to weave a thick mat, and cover it with a quilt.
If it's too cold in winter, add another one, and if it's cold, then burn wood to keep warm.
Strip to sleep?
That's what the rich do, ordinary people never take off their clothes when they sleep, they are too cold, and they are idle.
More than ninety percent of ordinary people are equipped with this set, and those who are slightly richer are sewn with linen cloth and stuffed with straw to make the heating effect slightly better.
Therefore, if you have a few beds of linen quilts in your house, girls from all over the country are looking forward to your family to propose marriage.
After walking through several villages one after another, I found that it was still the same situation, as if it was a relic left by ancient humans.
Thousands of people traveled for a day, but there was no harvest, seeing that the time was getting later and later, and no one dared to delay outside, they all went home dejectedly.
At the same time, Zhang Liang, a military advisor in Aocang, also received the news.
Chen Ping was mainly in charge of Xingyang, while Zhang Liang was in charge of Aocang and other things on the periphery, which was decided according to the battlefield environment.
"It's a bit interesting, it seems that Gongzi's prediction has really come true, and the Qin army, which is about to run out of food, has also begun to get up as good as beasts!" Zhang Liang smiled helplessly.
When Wang Bu was hungry and asked him and Chen Ping to work together to move out all the people in the fifty miles around Xingyang, he and Chen Ping strongly opposed it.
The people are not what you say will be accommodating, let them stay in their own homes, and you can leave them alone with food, clothing, and housing.
But if you let them move out, not to mention that they have good food and good housing, at least you have to make sure that they have food and that they don't starve to death.
Although he has millions of stones and grass in his hands, he can't withstand such a squander.
But in the end, they couldn't resist the king's hunger, so they could only reluctantly carry out the order.
However, now the facts tell them that this move is very effective, at least it can accelerate the defeat of Zhang Hanjun.
After helpless self-deprecation, Zhang Liang felt that he should do something, dozens of thousand-man teams are not guerrilla generals can deal with, and they can't send the main force out, at this time Zhang Liang remembered Wang Bu's words, and concentrated on doing big things.
"You mean, the people of Gong County stopped ten miles west of the Xingyang Daying?" Zhang Liang asked.
"Yes, morale is low, but there are people watching and not letting them run around."
"Hehe, tomorrow ......"
