Chapter 220: If you don't fight, you won't have a chance
It was only at this time that Wang's true intention was gradually revealed.
He decided to inherit the rules laid down by Qin Shi Huang and depose the monarchy.
This deposition was not only for those kings with different surnames, but also for the king's own descendants, who could not be crowned kings.
It's like Fusu, Huhai, Ziying and so on.
They can only call it Childe.
And this era also has strict rules for titles, the emperor, the king, the son of the king can be called the son, which is recognized by the top society.
Further down, it can only be lively.
The prince who is not hungry is purely a man who puts a light on his face, and calls himself a son in order to improve his qualifications.
When there are only a few hundred people under his command, you will find it a little funny if he calls himself a childe.
But what about when the king is not hungry and has tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, under his command?
At this time, even if his son is an impostor, you have to respectfully call him a son at this time.
Li Shiqi was a little surprised that he could not guarantee the throne of King Qi, which would bring great difficulties to his persuasion.
Li Shiqi was not surprised, after all, there was a precedent of Qin Shi Huang, and those kings who had competed with Qin for hundreds of years also lost everything after Qin unified the six kingdoms?
Even from another aspect, King Han can guarantee that he will become the Marquis of Qi today, which can be regarded as giving enough face.
Of course, there is no inheritance system in these years, Lao Tzu is the Marquis of Qi, and his son will have to be the Marquis of Qi in the future.
Li Shiqi finally became a Hanchen as he wished, and also became the envoy of the King of Han, holding the festival to envoy the Qi country.
In order to show his attention, Wang Buyu assigned a hundred forbidden troops to follow and protect him.
……
At the same time, the other side.
Han Xin, who was in a state of extreme worship for Wang Buxing, ordered to speed up the march after joining up with his soldiers.
"General, Zhexian is ahead, let's take a rest......" Jia Gu, the captain beside him, persuaded with a tired face.
Han Xin turned his head to look behind him, the formation was a little messy, and the soldiers were panting heavily.
This kind of state, of course, is not very suitable for attacking.
"Half an hour's rest!" Han Xin ordered.
Hearing that Han Xin promised to rest, although it was only half an hour, the soldiers were still very happy.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Captain Jia Gu continued to persuade: "General, this expedition, our army is divided into roads, it is difficult for the Chu army to gather heavy troops on a certain road, with the strength of our army, it can be completely dispersed and defeated, and now our army lacks siege equipment, even if it can reach Zhexian before nightfall, I am afraid that it will not be able to attack!" ”
"Wouldn't you not attack a city without siege equipment?" Han Xin glared at Jia Gu and continued:
"The king trusts us so much, and entrusts us with this responsibility, shouldn't we do our best to achieve victory as soon as possible?"
When Han Xin said this, Jia Gu's face turned pale in an instant, and he hurriedly explained: "General, the subordinates don't mean this, the subordinates just think that blindly increasing the marching speed may not be a good thing, rather than this, it is better to reduce some marching speed, so as to ensure that the soldiers can directly launch an attack when they arrive at the place and make some preparations......
Jia Gu's original intention was to remind Han Xin that it was enough to walk according to the normal marching standards, and it was not impossible for you to improve if it was not good.
Now, not to mention the two-day journey, at least one day is a one-and-a-half-day journey.
Although the troops were lightly armed and did not carry too many supplies, how fast could they run on two legs?
Thanks to the fact that the Han army did not treat the soldiers badly before, otherwise, it is estimated that more than half of them would have been left behind by now.
Han Xin frowned slightly.
He had been at the grassroots level for a short time and was familiar with the ideas of the grassroots soldiers.
I feel that someone will scold me behind my back now, this is human nature, and Han Xin has no idea of controlling his emotions.
But deep down in his heart, he knows very well that if he wants to get ahead, it is absolutely impossible to just follow the standards.
It's not that he hasn't led the Han army, and now his personal soldiers are the thousand-man team he originally led.
Although these people were also tired on their faces, no one cried out that they were tired.
Therefore, it is not that their own requirements are too high, but that the standards of the officers who trained them before are too low.
Of course, Han Shin is not a fool, so it is absolutely impossible for him to tell this idea.
That will only allow you to offend people for no reason, and you will not get any benefits.
After thinking about it, Han Xin said to the people around him: "General Ben knows that the soldiers are very tired, and he thinks that General Ben's marching speed is simply mad, why doesn't General Ben know that this is not a long-term solution?" ”
"Captain Jia is right, this time our army is divided, and the speed and slowness of one of the roads will not affect the overall situation!"
"But there are some things that General Ben has to say to everyone, if they are no different from the ordinary, what do you think, how do they compare with other armies? If even you yourself are not willing to work hard and push your limits, then in the future, after the fall of the Chu State, when the king rewards the army, why should you give us superior treatment? ”
"For most soldiers, this expedition is almost the last chance to gain military merit in ten years!"
"And ten years from now, will you still have the momentum you have today? Even if you can take it out, will all aspects of your body still support you to do so? ”
"It's just a few months of hard work now, but what I will get in the future will be a lifetime of benefits."
"I don't want to let the soldiers point to my back when the king rewards me in the future, and say that it was Han Xin, a shrunken turtle, who was afraid of his hands and feet, and even marched a beat slower than others, so the credit of the other roads surpassed ours, and the rewards we got were so much less than theirs......"
"General, subordinates damn ......" Jia Gu looked at Han Xin with a face full of shame.
Before, he simply thought that the soldiers were too tired to march at such a pace.
Moreover, in the event of an attack on the way, it will be difficult to exert combat effectiveness in the current state.
Moreover, Han Xin's marching speed was not conventional, almost a perverted existence, and it was said that this standard was similar to that of the forbidden army.
The forbidden army is composed of the top soldiers selected from the whole army, they are already stronger than others, and now they are compared with the forbidden army, how can they be compared?
However, Jagu did not expect that this battle would be the last battle for most of them in recent years.
There was hardly any battle to be fought.
Qi Guoyan Kingdom?
You don't need so many people at all!
Then, as Han Xin said, if you don't force yourself to work hard for a few months now, if you are rewarded with a lower title than others in the future, that year will be much less than others.
Especially the difference between the fourth-class title and the fifth-class title, the fourth-class title is not a fart, you can only get 20 stone a year, but the fifth-class title can become a county supervisor or prosecutor, this is an official position, and there is also a salary, if you calculate it, it will be nearly 30 stone a year, enough to ensure that the three people do not starve to death.
Seeing this, Han Xin didn't get angry, but said in a flat tone: "You and the others go and talk to the soldiers, this general is not a ruthless person, if he is unwilling, or the situation does not allow, this general will transfer him to the baggage team, and he can march normally every day, and if he has military merits or something, he should be given, and this general will definitely give ......."
