At noon on August 18, the twenty-third year of the reign of King Qin, the autumn was crisp and sunny, and the military camp in the southern suburbs of Anlu County was at the gate of the barracks.

This is one of the ancient methods of timekeeping, erecting a stake in the sun, observing its shadow to determine the time, but can only be inferred to the hour, more delicate carving, must be measured with "leak", then the hole pot is the leak, the floating arrow is the carving, and the next leak is a few minutes.

It is said that at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Qi was invaded by Jin Yan, and the Duke of Qi Jing promoted Sima Sui Tho as a general, and Zhuang Jia, a favored minister, as a supervisor. Sima Sui Tho and Jia made an appointment to meet at the military gate. Sui Tho comes first, and waits for the leakage of the table. When Jia was arrogant and mistaken, Sui Tho was beheading Jia to show the public, and the three armies were frightened and excited, so they were promoted to Yan's division, and Sima Sui Tho also became a generation of famous generals.

This allusion Heifu heard Li You talk about, and he is here today to emulate this matter.

For this reason, Hefu had a couch set up, and he sat down in front of the camp gate and waited for himself.

While waiting, I was still thinking about things.

In addition to the points that he said to his brother last night, there is another reason why Heifu released his soldiers and asked them to regroup today.

He wants to be attached!

Marching and fighting, relying on the soldiers' lives, and if you want to get the soldiers' lives, you rely on one hand of reward and one hand of punishment, this is what Wei Yuzi said: "Victory depends on Liwei, Liwei depends on the killing force, the killing power depends on the right punishment, and the right punishment is therefore rewarded."

In terms of rewards, in addition to the rewards stipulated in the military law, there must also be a kind of city for the generals.

"Treat the pawn as a baby, so you can go to the deep stream with it; Treat the pawn as a beloved son, so he can die with him. ”

But the trouble is that the Qin army directly stipulates the food and clothing of each rank to the death, and the lowest ones have the same food and clothing, lie down without a seat, do not ride, personally wrap to win food, and share the labor with the soldiers. Sucking and the like, Hefu can't do it, and it will seem too deliberate......

So he simply used the method of letting the soldiers return home for the autumn harvest to show his gratitude, so that the soldiers felt that the county lieutenant Heifu was really his own township party and would really consider them.

It is also necessary to make full use of the natural advantages of the township party to make An Lu rate and the township and the township as one, and to be united and united.

But if someone really loses his trust and never returns, or is late......

Heifu glanced at the short guards beside him, today they were all wearing armor, standing solemnly with swords, and the military judge Le was also on the side, even the paperwork was ready, if someone really died, he would inevitably learn from Sima Sui Tho, and kill people!

As the shadow of the stake gradually turns into a dot, it slowly shifts and elongates, and every other hour, the water in the leaky pot dries up little by little, and then fills again, and everyone can feel the change of time.

Heifu discussed with everyone that it was a "day" meeting, that is, from 17 to 19 o'clock in the afternoon, before dark, but from noon, people came to the barracks to report one after another.

The first to arrive was the people who lived in the county seat, and they could not see the worry of the expedition on their faces, and they walked over with a smile, and saw the county lieutenant Heifu waiting outside the gate, and hurriedly bowed down to him.

Heifu nodded: "The second and third sons arrived early, so let's go into the camp to rest first." “

Then there were all the people from the northern suburbs and the Zhuanshui township, all of whom had gathered together in the pavilion first, and although they went home to rest for a few days, they did not lose the training of the past month, and after approaching the barracks, they began to line up in an orderly manner.

Heifu also saw his banner soldier, a loyal man, who handed over his bags to Pao Ze and brought them into the barracks, so he ran to Heifu's side and took the captain's banner.

"How are you doing at home?"

Hefu asked him kindly.

Mu held the banner and said: "Everything is fine, the grain production has increased a lot, and the warehouse is sufficient!" ”

The last one was Yunmengxiang, which was the farthest away from the county seat, and these soldiers had walked for two days to arrive, and they were all carrying bags that were not light, loaded with shoes and winter clothes, and they were dusty. However, after coming to the camp gate to see Heifu, he smiled and served the food brought by the family, although the Heifu family moved away, he was still the pride and model of everyone in Yunmengxiang, so hundreds of people in Yunmengxiang were closest to him.

By the time the sun set, the shadow of the benchmark had already stretched out, and the leak had leaked again......

It's over!

There was no one on the road anymore, so Heifu breathed a sigh of relief and asked the two five hundred lords, Liham and Dongmen Leopard, to go to the camp and bring out the soldiers who arrived one after another!

A moment later, in the last light of autumn, all the soldiers stood in line in the clearing, and the various tuns began to count and roll call.

"Lieutenant Yu, five hundred people in Houqu, all of them are here!" After a short time, Liham, who was the first to complete the roll call, came to answer the order.

"The first song of 500 people has also been completed!" Not to be outdone, Dongmen Leopard roared over with a loud voice.

In addition to the two songs before and after, the number of short guards, baggage, horsemen, and medical and first aid personnel under the direct jurisdiction of Heifu has also been counted!

Looking at the soldiers' faces flushed by the sunset, Heifu was a little moved, and his hand holding the hilt of the sword was also released, he even made plans for a few or even a dozen people to be late, but what he didn't expect was that more than 1,200 conscripts in Anlu County, after returning home for seven days, all regrouped here! No one was absent!

"Good! Great goodness! ”

Heifu could only praise loudly to hide his emotions.

"This lieutenant told me the truth, this time on the orders of the king, the time may not be short, or half a year, or a year. But the final result will be that the Qin army will be certain, defend, and victorious! This captain will do what he says, the rewards and punishments will be clear, and those who fight bravely will never lose their titles! ”

Everyone puffed up their chests proudly, the miracle created by County Lieutenant Heifu in the last war was widely spread in the county, and of course he had the confidence to say these words! This is also one of the reasons why everyone in Anlu trusts him, who doesn't want to follow a general who has made great achievements?

After cheering up the soldiers, Heifu waved his hand: "Start the meal immediately, let the second and third sons eat enough, practice together again tomorrow, and set off the day after tomorrow!" ”

Such a scene is really rare, those officials who watched the excitement on the city wall after work were also very moved, the stone in the heart of the county commander Yonghe fell to the ground, touched his beard and smiled: "The county lieutenant is really powerful, the training is not more than a month, you can do the letter of the soldiers, the soldiers respect the generals, such a military brigade, can be described as a sharp soldier!" ”

After nightfall, several of Heifu's cronies and military officials Lixian, Dongmen Leopard, Xiao Tao, and Ji Ying also secretly discussed during the meal: "The last time we attacked Chu, the army was defeated, and the county lieutenant was able to earn so much credit with us in the defeated army. This time, there is such a township party elite soldier, why worry about not making great contributions? ”

"Yes!"

Liham glanced at everyone: "Do the second and third sons still remember the great ambition mentioned by the county lieutenant that day?" ”

"Of course I do!" Everyone bowed their heads, and Heifu's ambition to be a marquis suddenly woke them up from the satisfaction of the status quo, and actively participated in the training.

This small group, after a short period of confusion, now has a clear goal, and when this goal is achieved, how can they lose the benefits?

Several people in the camp swore an oath: "Help the county lieutenant realize the ambition of the marquis, and it is also my wish!" ”

At this time, they did not know how difficult it was to realize this wish......

……

Two days later, under the leadership of Heifu, more than 1,000 soldiers in Anlu County were sent ten miles away by the county commander, the county Cheng and the fathers in the city, and slowly traveled north and embarked on the journey......

Some people frequently look back and are reluctant to give up on their hometown and family.

Some people look ahead, looking forward to the glory they are about to obtain.

Emperor Huang Hua, Yu Pi Yuan Xi (xí).

駪駪 (shēn) levy husband, every Huai Mi and ......

And Xianyang, the capital of Qin, which is more than 1,000 miles away, has a scale that is 200 times larger than that of Anlu County!

Ba Shang Ridge Plain, Weishui surging, Guanzhong Neishi, Beidi, Shangjun, Longxi four counties, 100,000 soldiers, 100,000 people gathered here, the banner covers the entire Bashui pontoon, the forest composed of Ge spear seems to be more than the withered yellow autumn grass on the bank of Weishui......

Hundreds of officials and ministers led by the prince of Qin all came to Bashang to see off General Wang Qian!

Wang Juan, the imperial historian, announced on behalf of the king, this high-ranking official who was heavily influenced by Confucianism quoted scriptures and classics, and even praised Wang Jian and said: "Master Wei is still the father, Shi Wei Yingyang!" ”

At that time, Li Xin returned from the defeat of Chu for the first time, the seventh lieutenant died, and the teacher was humiliated and humiliated.

At this time, only Wang Jian can stand up and preside over the battle. The 600,000 army attacked Chu, and the king of Qin was almost the military commission of the whole country, and it was not too much to compare Wang Jian with the Taigong of the Zhou Dynasty.

"How dare the old man compare with his master, what kind of eagle? Ji Yang is about the same. ”

However, the old general Wang Qian, who should have been high-spirited and promised to destroy the Chu State for as long as he wanted, was not at all fierce before the expedition, but like an ignorant miserly old peasant, his words were vulgar, and he bowed goodbye to the king of Qin, and vigorously demanded beautiful fields, mansions, and ponds for his family......

The accompanying officials all had strange faces, and the imperial physician Ling Xia Wuhe, who was standing on the periphery, even heard the king's helpless voice from the royal driver's office.

"The general is in charge, why worry about poverty?"

Then, Xia Wuhe heard Wang Jian smile and say an extremely bold word!

"For the king, even if there is merit, it is difficult to get the reward of the marquis, so when the king is particularly important to the old ministers, the ministers can also ask the king to give the garden and pond in time to buy a share of the family ......property for future generations."

What does this mean? Resentment?

Everyone present shuddered, the expedition is imminent, what is the old general Wang Jian doing? They all looked at the car where the six horses were carrying.

King Qin talked to Wang Jian in front of the car, his body back, and the crown blessing, nearly nine feet, even more unattainable, his waist hung a long Tai'a sword, holding the hilt of the sword, standing silently at the moment.

The silent king is the most terrifying and terrifying, Xia Wuhe was a little frightened, lowered his head, and Wang Xuan, who was standing beside the king and Wang Qian, was even more sweaty drops......

However, after a moment of silence, King Qin still laughed and seemed to be dissatisfied.

"General Wang speaks, he is still so straightforward!"

After the laughter stopped, Xia Wuhe raised his eyes and saw that the back of King Qin stepped forward, helped Wang Jian up, held his hand, and said in a very sincere tone: "General, rest assured, if you can destroy Jing, the Marquis of Che, wait for the vacant position!" ”
