Chapter 209: Li Chen goes to battle
At noon in late September, the weather was still unusually hot
"Fuck, it's hot."
Li Chen really can't resist this kind of weather, although he has been in Daqin for a long time, he is used to seeing air conditioning and heating in his previous life, and he really doesn't like winter and summer. Holding a large leaf that cannot be named as a fan, a gust of hot wind is the last stubbornness of this leaf.
A team of more than 100 people was silent on the long road, starting from Xianyang, Li Chen took Zhao Que, Fan Hao and more than 100 forbidden troops to gallop towards Surabaya County.
That's right, Liu Bang is the opposite.
Small trends can be changed, but big trends cannot be moved. It seems that this is the true meaning of history, although Li Chen tries very hard to turn the gears of history. But history is still moving forward like that, after Xiang Yu was known as the overlord of Western Chu and opposed Qin, Liu Bang was not unexpectedly reversed. It's just that compared with Xiang Yu's high profile, Liu Bang is much more low-key, he just calls himself "Pei Gong." ”
Hurrying all the way, Li Chen felt that his skin must have darkened a lot. Although the conditions are simple and he hasn't looked in the mirror for a long time, Li Chen knows that his handsomeness that can't be placed must have been sublimated to the extreme.
After all, he is a man who only has solar black.
Surabaya County is a wealthy county with 16 counties, and not far in front of it is the county seat of Surabaya County, Pengcheng. Since Liu Bang's rebellion, first the two counties of Xiapei and Feng, and then the four counties of Fuyang, Liuxian, Xiao and Xu. At present, six counties in Surabaya County have been held by Liu Bang, and the county keeper can't eat or sleep these days. No, I heard that the famous Rong Lu waited for the army to come to support, so he went out of the city three miles early to wait.
In the distance, you can already see the county guard and others waiting outside the city, the two sides are getting closer and closer, and the county guard's eyes have changed from hope to despair.
"Master Hou, where are the reinforcements?"
The county guard looked at the team of more than 100 people behind Li Chen and asked tentatively.
The Shenwu army has all been taken away by Han Xin, and these more than 100 guards were temporarily transferred to Li Chen by the First Emperor. After all, there were rebellious bandits and robbers everywhere along the way, and without anyone to escort him, I was afraid that Li Chen would not be able to reach Surabaya safely.
Li Chen was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what the county guard meant. This is a flag-waving to call people, and there are fewer suspects. Li Chen then said: "It will take a few days for the army to move, Your Majesty is worried about the situation in Surabaya, so he sent me to sit in the town first." ”
"That's good, that's good. Master Hou has worked hard all the way, let's go to the city. As soon as he heard that the army would be coming in a few days, the Surabaya county guard immediately breathed a sigh of relief and greeted him with a smile.
"The county guard's surname." The county guard led Li Chen towards the city, and Li Chen asked.
"Your surname is Li, and Hou Ye is still a family." The county guard is almost the road.
"Li Junshou, how is the disaster situation in Surabaya County?" Li Chen asked. Now among the nine counties affected by the disaster in the entire Great Qin, the most serious is Donghai County, and Xiang Yu's strength has almost swept the entire Donghai County in the rest of the month.
"The disaster in my Surabaya County is actually not serious, although there is no guarantee that every family will have enough to eat, but no one will die of hunger. This Pei County doesn't know why, why it suddenly reversed. Li Junshou said confusedly.
Li Chen knew that what the county guard said should be the truth. Along the way, the disaster is actually in sight. Although there is also a grain harvest in Surabaya County, you can still see sparse land on the road that has not been affected. Moreover, there should still be last year's surplus grain in the people's homes, even if it can't last up to the next season's grain harvest, but under the frugality, it is definitely not to the point of collapse and thunder.
It can be seen that Liu Bang's rebellion is really the destiny of heaven.
The county guard has prepared a place for Li Chen to rest in the city, this is a courtyard in the city, the environment is elegant, the courtyard is in the middle of the city, but now due to the rebels in Surabaya County, the streets are full of closed shops, and it is not noisy.
"Master Hou, the army in the city is embarrassed." Fan Xu exhaled depressedly and said.
Fan Xu went to the military camp in the city as soon as possible, this Surabaya County should have 3,000 soldiers according to the military system of Great Qin. The county soldiers were different from the city guards in the county seat, which were militias that served as soldiers in wartime and peasants in their leisure time. The county soldiers are full-time soldiers and should be combative. Obviously, Surabaya County has not experienced war for more than ten years, and the training of county soldiers has long been abandoned and has become a group of decorations.
"Transfer 10,000 soldiers and horses from Han Xin." Li Chen waved his hand at Fan Xue and said.
It was also expected by Li Chen that the county soldiers were overwhelmed, and Great Qin was a typical centralized system. The two Great Wall Legions of Meng Tian and Wang Li, as well as the three border armies of the Baiyue Legion, were naturally the most effective armies in the entire Great Qin. Then there was the Guanzhong Army guarding the Xianyang region. These legions are already a million dollars, and almost all of the financial expenditures of the Great Qin military are on these legions. The local army is supported by the local government, and if there is no war, where will the local government really allocate funds to raise soldiers.
There is no way to transfer troops from Han Xin, and the 50,000 Shenwu Army is already all the troops that can be used to suppress the rebellion. Xiang Yu wants to suppress it, and Liu Bang wants to suppress it. Even in Li Chen's heart, the importance of exterminating Liu Bang, the son of destiny, is still above Xiang Yu.
Li Chen is now only waiting for Fan Hao to return from the transfer of troops, and then he will go to encircle and suppress Liu Bang. And the news of Li Chen's arrival in Pengcheng reached Pei County, and Pei County exploded all of a sudden.
Peixian County Government has now become Pei Gong's Mansion, Liu Bang sat in the lobby in a fiery red python robe, his face was cold as if he could drip water.
"Xiao He, where can I, Liu Laosan, not be able to stand you, you hurt me like this."
"Master Hou is here, and now he is in Pengcheng, and everyone is dying." Liu Bang's eyes leaked a fierce light, and he glared at Xiao He viciously.
Xiao He was also extremely scared in his heart at this time, and he didn't expect to be killed when he thought he was helpless. Xiang Yu, the first rebel and known as the overlord of Western Chu, was just a little-known Han Xin to encircle and suppress. This low-key rebellion of his own, just claiming to be a public, actually provoked Rong Lu Hou himself.
Fear is fear, but there is no turning back when he opens the bow, Xiao He can only stubbornly say: "Pei Gong, don't panic, although this Rong Luhou is famous, it is said that he can't lift his hands and shoulders and can't resist, so he must not be a material for fighting." ”
"Hmph, you did a good job."
"Anyway, before I Liu Bang died, I must have cut off your dog's head." Liu Bang snorted coldly.
"Don't be angry, Master Xiao and we are grasshoppers on the same rope."
"Don't panic, don't panic, we will chop him into meat puree wherever we are." Zhou Bo hurriedly persuaded.
Regarding Liu Bang's rebellion, Zhou Bo was very happy in his heart. As the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, Liu Bang changed from a county lieutenant to Pei Gong, who was in charge of six counties, and he naturally became the first general under Liu Bang.
