Chapter 110, King Qin's Crisis 8

Since ancient times, the marriage of the Chinese people has paid attention to the right family, although Sun Mengdie and the King of Qin have gone all the way, and also understand some of the situation, after all, there is no deep question, at this time the father asked in great detail, just in line with her heart, at this time I heard this Zhao Gongzi say that his generation of scholarly family, similar to his own family, how can he not like it.

Sun Chuanting asked for a while, and felt that this Zhao Gongzi was extraordinary, indeed like a person who read poetry and books, and he was also happy in his heart, since he trained the army, he also dealt with a group of old people all day long, and there were few who could talk about poetry and papers, and he was already uncomfortable, and he really wanted to talk to Zhao Gongzi for a long time, but seeing that he was seriously injured and not healed, he had to do it.

When leaving, Sun Chuanting called the best doctor in the city to treat King Qin's injuries and make sure he got better as soon as possible.

When their father and daughter left, King Qin and Wang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, and Sun Chuanting did not suspect them, which was the best news.

So King Qin and Wang Jian settled in Ansai. Wang Jian served the King of Qin every day, and did not go out, Sun Chuanting often came to sit and sit in his spare time when he practiced the army, and talked with the King of Qin about poetry and books for a while, Sun Mengdie always came with his father, but rarely came to inquire alone, but she often sent maids to send some supplements and food, and would also take the clothes of the King of Qin to be washed and repaired.

Time flies, two months in a flash, and the weather cools down.

Sun Chuanting trained the army in a good way, and his men and horses became more and more strong, in order to solve the problem of military salary, he often led the troops out to attack a small group of thieves in the mountains and forests, Sun Mengdie also followed his father to go on the expedition, and after returning from the victory, he always sent some rare objects and the king of Qin.

King Qin's injury has healed, it stands to reason that it is time to leave, but King Qin mentioned it to Sun Chuanting several times, Sun Chuanting did not agree, only said that it is cold now, there are many thieves on the road, they are just two masters and servants, once they are far away in the rivers and lakes, they will inevitably be robbed by thieves, and their lives are worried, it is better to live for a while and wait until it is too peaceful.

When Sun Mengdie heard about it, she also persuaded them to stay, so kindly, but it was disrespectful, and the two had to agree.

At this time, Sun Chuanting made a request to invite the King of Qin to his army as a professor of marching.

The word professor was used in the Han Dynasty, and it was a scholar. Sun Chuanting asked King Qin to be a professor of marching, in fact, he wanted him to be a military advisor and give advice for himself.

After many days of conversation, Sun Chuanting could see that this Zhao Gongzi had a far-sighted vision, a strong view of the overall situation, and a very unique view of local governance. And although he claims to be a Confucian scholar, he is very fond of the Legalist theory of governing the country.

In fact, this is still the result of King Qin's efforts to control his own ability, and if he really wants to talk about governing the world, ten Sun Chuanting are not opponents.

For this proposal, the King of Qin was very interested, Huayin was defeated, and 10,000 Qin troops were defeated in the hands of the official army, which made the King of Qin have a deeper idea about the combat effectiveness of the official army. In the Warring States Period, the Qin army's combat effectiveness was the strongest, which is unquestionable, the Qin army had an invincible aura, but since that defeat, the Qin king began to re-examine the combat effectiveness of the official army. He found that the current popular tactics were far from being comparable to those of the Warring States period.

The army of his own era was still mainly based on battle formations, equipped with vehicle formations, and cavalry was only an auxiliary tactic, mostly used to sneak attack the rear, cut off grain routes, and harass the enemy. At present, the cavalry is already the main force on the battlefield, and there are many tactics, which can be divided into central breakthroughs, several outflanking, central flowering, etc., the Qin army does not have these tactics, so it naturally suffers.

The first-class Qin army, against the second-rate official army, is no longer supported, let alone against the Shangguanning Iron Cavalry. It is not an easy task to defeat the official army.

The king of Qin then decided to go deep into the official army, understand their tactics, know their equipment, and when he fought in the future, he could know the enemy.

Hearing that Zhao Gongzi agreed, Sun Mengdie was overjoyed, because after she joined her father's army, the military discipline was strict, and even she was not allowed to be free, so it was not easy to see Zhao Gongzi, but if Zhao Gongzi also entered the army, it would be much easier to meet.

So within a few days, King Qin and Wang Jian moved into the military camp.

Through close observation of the training of the officers and soldiers, King Qin and Wang Jian came to a conclusion: Sun Chuanting was a handsome talent.

He not only governed the army in a good way, but also was very ruthless in fighting. Once the king of Qin followed Sun Chuanting to extinguish a group of thieves, the camp of this group of thieves was in the deep mountains, there were hundreds of people, which was considered a large share. Due to the dangerous situation of the thief camp and the difficulty of attacking head-on, Sun Chuanting decided to attack at night.

At night, he sent dozens of subordinates from the deep mountain hunters, climbed up from the back of the mountain, and then dropped the rope, hundreds of people went up the cliff, launched a sneak attack, taking advantage of the chaos in the camp, Sun Chuanting led the army to break through the gate of the village from the front, and rushed into the village.

Those thieves had no way to advance or retreat, and there was no way to enter the heavens and no way to enter the earth, so they had to surrender.

What happened next, to the king of Qin, was a little shocked, Sun Chuanting emptied all the food, cloth, silver, and weapons in the camp, counted the surrendered people, selected some people who were willing to follow him and were strong, and incorporated them into the army, and then drove all the remaining people into the houses and lit fires.

More than 200 people were burned to death together, and the screams were heard for ten miles.

When the fire was first lit, the king of Qin asked Sun Chuanting why he did this. Sun Chuanting sighed and said: "These people have no home, no land, no way to make a living, if they are released, they will still be thieves, rather than exterminating them again, it is better to kill them at this time." ”

Listening to the screams coming from the house, King Qin had no choice but to sigh.

If you look at it from this point of view, Sun Chuanting should be a very brutal person, but he also has another side, a completely opposite side.

That is to treat their own soldiers.

At this time, the court, except for the Guanning Iron Cavalry, almost all the armies could not get the salary in time, and some of them were in arrears, and the soldiers could not get a penny of salary for three years, and they were extremely poor, so they had to rob the people, and the people's money and grain were robbed by the soldiers, and they couldn't survive, so they had to be thieves, which was also a reason why the thieves were more and more.

But Sun Chuanting is different, no matter how difficult it is, he has to pay the full amount of money every month, and would rather not take a penny himself, but also to satisfy the soldiers. In addition, he loves soldiers like children, and is very concerned about the suffering of soldiers, and some soldiers are in difficulty at home, and he also takes out his own money from time to time to relieve them. Even those who were made up from among the thieves, he treated them in the same way. Therefore, Sun Chuanting's thousands of soldiers have almost become his private army, and they usually only recognize Sun Chuanting, and they don't pay attention to anyone's orders.

Sun Chuanting's military discipline was excellent, and he strictly ordered his soldiers not to harass the people, and those who dared to insult women and rob the people's property were immediately beheaded and showed no mercy. Therefore, in the Ansai area, the army and the people were blocked, and the people with prestige often came to visit Sun Chuanting and brought some cattle wine to the army.

It can be said that Sun Chuanting is very popular in the local area.

King Qin and Wang Jian lived in Sun Chuanting's military camp, and after a few months, Sun Chuanting's training began to bear fruit, and at this time, he received an urgent report from Hong Chengchou.

In fact, when he was training troops, Sun Chuanting also sent a lot of scouts to various places to investigate, so he was familiar with the situation in the whole of Shaanxi and even Shanxi and Henan. A few days ago, he had heard rumors that Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were going to attack Xi'an, and Sun Chuanting was a little surprised, but he also thought that this was an excellent opportunity.

Training is used to fight, and Sun Chuanting believes that as long as his men and horses go into battle, they will definitely win.

And King Qin and Wang Jian have another thought. Being able to be by Sun Chuanting's side, they had already learned about the situation of the Qin army, and the news of Li Yan's resurgence of the Qin army made their hearts excited, and soon they heard that the Qin army had defeated Shi Kefa in Huayin and gained a firm foothold, and the king of Qin felt that it was time for him to go back.

At this time, Hong Chengchou ordered Sun Chuanting to go to Xi'an to relieve the siege, Sun Chuanting did not say a word, led the army out of Ansai, and marched to Xi'an, and King Qin and Wang Jian also went out with the army.

Along the way, King Qin thought hard about how to get out, but since he entered the army, Sun Chuanting intentionally or unintentionally, strengthened his care for him, there was always the Ming army by his side, he couldn't get out, King Qin was a little irritable, one day he drank some wine, was blown by the wind, and had some typhoid fever symptoms, so he recuperated in the back camp, and he was subjected to Luohua River.

When Sun Chuanting's men and horses fought with the peasant army, the king of Qin did not know who the opponent was, and when the battle was over, Wang Jian asked, only then became clear, it was actually Li Yan, and he was also caught, tied into Sun Chuanting's big tent, he hurriedly came to report to the king of Qin, when the king of Qin heard it, he knew that it was not good, Sun Chuanting was ruthless, if Li Yan did not surrender, most of them would be beheaded, so he sent Wang Jian to communicate with Sun Mengdie to ensure that Li Yan did not die.

That's it, the above scene is born.
