Chapter 601: Wei Man
When the Jiaodong Boat Division was engaged in "building ship diplomacy" to deter North Korea, the army by land had also crossed the Yalu River, staggered all the way, and arrived at Manban Khan after passing through 200 miles of sparsely populated land.
This is the most remote pavilion barrier of the Qin Dynasty, with only one guard tower, and only a few dozen people are stationed all year round, waiting for the border. On the other side of Peishui, there is the border town of North Korea, Zengdi City, and there are only more than 100 people stationed, and the two sides are alone at the end of the world, facing each other across the river.
But now, tens of thousands of people have suddenly arrived in the West Bank. The watchtower was requisitioned by Gongzi Fusu, and the rest of the people built barracks around it, the smoke pillars of the campfires obscured the sky, and the tents grew like mushrooms after the rain, making Manban Khan look like a new big town.
"After crossing this river, it is no longer a swallow land."
When fetching water for cooking, Wei Man, who is the "tun chief", stands on the edge of Peishui and stares for a long time, with the desolate and barren coast and icy salty waters to the south, and endless forests to the north. It's just autumn, and the air is cold and damp.
Yan Zhao is a generous and tragic person, Wei Man is chivalrous and righteous in his hometown, known as a brave name, but this time he was forcibly conscripted into the army by officials. If it is like Youbeiping Haoqiang Zang Tu, it is easy for people to come to the top of the tank, but Wei Man has not yet mixed out of the Ming Hall, he was blocked by the officials, he failed to escape, and was brought back to the county temple, so he could only serve hard.
Fortunately, he fought hard with a good courage and became the head of the tun, and he was also a big and small official.
But this sesame big little official, still can't control his life and death, two thousand miles of march, so that Wei Man almost half of his life, over the thousand mountains, his tunzu is enough to lose four people, one fell ill, two people fell off the mountain, one was killed by Wei Man himself when he escaped!
Speaking of which, that person is still Wei Man's township party, and the relationship is very good, but Wei Man did not hesitate to cut off his head and come back to his life.
The rest of the people in Tunli complained about this act of killing the township party, but Wei Man slapped the reward money on the table and said: "The Qin army is not a joke, if we let this person go, we will all have to take the blame for him!" So, if you want to stay together, you have to run together, you have to run away, you have to run away, and you have to harm others, what is this? No matter how effective the imitator is, this is the end! ”
He asked everyone to divide the bounty, and from that day on, Wei Man not only won the respect of everyone in the tun, but even the tun next door was willing to listen to him.
At present, Wei Man brought people to the river to fetch water, and everyone gave in one after another, and even more people who wanted to please pointed to a small boat that had just docked at the wharf on the west bank:
"Chief Wei Tun, that's the North Korean ship."
"It's small." Wei Man said disdainfully, they were in Xi'an Ping last month, but they had seen the 600-stone ship of the Qin army transporting grain.
"It is said that there is a Korean son in it, dressed as a barbarian, and he has landed to meet General Gongzi."
"Gongzi General", this is the title of Yan Zhao's soldiers to Fusu, all the way down, although there are many contradictions between Guanzhong soldiers and Yan Zhao soldiers, but this Gongzi and the soldiers' actions of eating and clothing together are quite popular with the army.
Wei Man didn't accept this feeling, pouted, and didn't say anything.
While the soldiers were talking, they saw the door of the sentry tower open again, and the son Fusu, who was very familiar to the soldiers, walked out, followed by a foreign son with braided hair on his head.
The two went out hand in hand, Fusu sent it to the dock, and the Korean prince bowed again and again after boarding the ship, Fusu raised his hand and saluted, he didn't leave, and watched Ji Zhun's ship to the other side, and then took the captain's staff back to the guard tower.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers immediately discussed, and Wei Man said: "Look at this appearance, it is probably a negotiation." ”
"What have you talked about?" An ignorant rough man asked.
Wei Man's gaze became solemn: "I'm afraid that in a few days, the general will drive us across the river and leave Yandi......"
This incident also became the main topic of discussion among the soldiers during the evening eclipse that afternoon.
The Qin army has a battalion of 100 people, divided into left and right tuns, and there are ten people in a tent below, divided into tun and set up stoves. The rice and vegetables were sent to the tun chief, and fifty people ate together, although it would cause a certain amount of unevenness, but it was also convenient.
The food of the Yandi soldiers is slightly inferior to that of the Guanzhong soldiers, there is no fish, and the rice is also brown rice, although there is no meat, but they eat very sweetly, with the Jiaodong grain ship to save the emergency, the soldiers no longer have to be like when they crossed the thousands of mountains, they can't eat enough.
Thanks to the pickled cabbage brought from Jiaodong, the coarse meal is easier to eat. This is the product of Jiaodong farmers after planting cabbage, and the most important thing in Jiaodong is salt. The cabbage is salted and salted and then put in a clay pot, and shipped to Liaodong, where it has become the main dish in the army, the taste is sour and refreshing, and the chewing is very crisp in the mouth, and the taste is much better than the wild bitter vegetables dug by the soldiers themselves.
While eating and chatting, Wei Man put down the bowl and said in a low voice: "I heard a news that is related to our life and death, would the second and third sons be willing to hear it?" ”
Everyone stopped moving, and dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Wei Man, the army was on an expedition, and Wei Man, the head of the township party, was the backbone of the soldiers.
Wei Man looked back at the outside of the camp, let everyone come closer, and said softly: "I heard that this time Emperor Qin is in the sea, obviously to severely punish the assassins and comrades, but in fact, he wants Yan Zhao's people to go to a foreign land to die!" ”
"Huh!?"
Everyone was shocked, but then a few soldiers who were slightly older and had friends in other tuns stood up, and they had also heard of this statement, and I am afraid it was not groundless.
Some people also hesitated: "General Gongzi is benevolent, don't stop there......"
Wei Man shook his head: "No matter how benevolent he is, he is also a Qin person, the son of the emperor!" When there was no food on the road, he pretended to eat with us and drank porridge every day, but there were still few Yan Zhao people who died along the way? ”
"Once we are on the battlefield, Fusu will definitely favor the Qin soldiers and order us to fill the ravine. Trekking all the way through mountains and rivers, ten deaths and one or two, I heard that the south of North Korea is more wild than a thousand mountains, and then walked more than a thousand miles, and so on after this battle, we are afraid that there will be no one in ten! And the Qin people don't want us to return to Yandi at all, I am afraid that we will be forcibly left in a remote place in Haidong, where the cold wind blows all our lives. ”
The Yan people's trust in the Qin people was as fragile as a silk thread, and it broke with a slight pull, and they were frightened by Wei Manyi, and many Yan people panicked:
"What to do? Tun Chief? ”
"What should I do?"
Wei Man smiled and nailed a dagger to the desk:
"I said it."
"Stay together, stay, go!"
……
"Different from the boat master, the prince of Great Qin Fusu has the style of a gentleman!"
After leaving the camp of the Qin army, Ji Zhun asked people to bring a wooden book and began to write a letter to Wang Weicheng, which was still in the oracle bone script of Gubu, and a few short sentences could be written in half an hour.
But unlike in the past, Ji Zhun did not use a simple wooden stick, but the "Meng Tian pen" given to him by Fusu, and the ink was also a good ink in the Central Plains.
But this can just express his excitement, a few days ago, Ji Zhun met the aggressive Qin army boat division at the entrance of the column, he deigned to go to negotiate, but the other side of the general did not even see his face, sent a young official to deal with it, the attitude is arrogant, there is a big Korean side does not hurry up to find Fusu to negotiate, they will besiege Wang dangerous city.
Ji Zhun was helpless, and after the south, he could only run north again, to the former territory of North Korea.
The size of the camp of the Qin army and the number of soldiers impressed Ji Zhun deeply: the neatly arranged horses and chariots stretched for half a mile. In order to make a long pole to carry the flag, an entire forest near the river was cut down and lighted. Under the bright afternoon sun, countless spear tips shimmered with a dark golden light.
Like the building ship in Liekou, this brought a huge shock to Ji Zhun, even if North Korea has the strength of the whole country, it can only make up such a strong and well-equipped army, after seeing the difference in strength between the two sides, the thought of resistance has never appeared in his heart.
With 100,000 cautions, Ji Zhun met Fusu, but unlike what he expected, the eldest son of the Great Qin Emperor was extremely gentle and elegant. Not only was he kind to Ji Zhun and gave him a gift, but also expressed the long-standing relationship between Ying Qin and his son Joseon through the translator, and even recited a poem "Yin Wu" on the spot.
"Tart the other and fight against Jing Chu. Delve into its obstacles, and take a journey through the thorns. There is a place to intercept it, and Tang Sun's thread. ”
This is a Shang Song, the Kei family of North Korea sacrifices to Wu Ding, and it can still be sung, but the words have changed.
Fusu asked the translator to tell Ji Zhun that this was also the purpose of the Qin Dynasty in this battle, just to destroy Canghai Jun.
As for North Korea? Great Qin did not intend to use force against them, but only needed North Korea to open the border, let the Qin army go south, and by the way, borrow the port of Liekou to store grain.
With the black face of the boat master singing first, Ji Zhun could only promise with his mouth, if the promise was late, the Qin army would not borrow, but would take it by force......
In addition, Fusu also showed the attitude of Qin Shi Huang, and Korea must also formally pay tribute to Qin's ministers, and after the war, Ji Zhun went with Fusu to Xianyang to meet His Majesty the Emperor.
"In the past, there was a soup, since the other side of the Qiang, don't dare not come to enjoy, don't dare not come to the king, said business is constant."
After writing a letter, Ji Zhun recalled the last sentence of "Yin Wu".
Thousands of years ago, the people who came to pay tribute to Tang Wu were the surrounding Xiaofang countries, and the surname Ying was also among them, and they were prostrate at the feet of the emperors surnamed Tang Wu and Wu Ding, trembling, willing to be slaves.
Nowadays, the glorious Dayi merchants have been dead for 800 years, and under the authority of Rong Zhou, the only North Korea that retains the independence and dignity of the surname has run a long way, but in the end, it can only bow to the former slaves......
Alas, sighing, Ji Zhun lost sleep again, he walked out of the room, stood at the head of Zengdi Xiaoyi City, and looked at Qin Ying.
Campfires are everywhere, like falling stars, covering the four fields and combining into an endless sea of stars.
With the poor mathematics of Kei, even if you count the rising sun, you can't count how many campfires there are in the Qin camp.
He watched intently, fearful and envious, but with a hint of schadenfreude.
"With such a strong army, Canghaijun is going to be unlucky."
Ji Zhun laughed a few times, sighed again, and turned to leave.
As the night wore on, the soldiers in the barracks had fallen asleep, so quiet that they could only hear the crackling of firewood, and the men in charge of keeping watch over the fire cowered by the fire, and little by little, they began to doze off.
At this moment of silence, in a certain camp tent, amid the grinding of teeth and snoring, a sharp exclamation suddenly sounded!
"Ahh
……
"Ahh
Full of sweat Qin army camp, Gongzi Fusu dreamed that after his defeat, he was ashamed and killed himself, and after waking up, he found that it was a nightmare, the sword was in his arms, and his body was full of sweat.
But then, he realized that it was not a dream at all, and the sound came from outside the camp!
Fusu heard it clearly, it was the shouts of people, the neighing of horses, and even the sound of gold and iron clashing! All kinds of sounds are surging, like a tsunami!
Since Yang Duanhe unfortunately passed away, Fusu has a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he is really waiting for him, he got up with a spirit, picked up his sword and walked out, just a few personal guards pushed open the door and came in, and hurriedly bowed.
"What's wrong?" Fusu asked hurriedly.
"Childe, it's a big deal......
An elderly lieutenant who had been regarded as his right-hand man by Fusu in the past month raised his head, he had participated in the battle of Fayan, and his exploits were as many as the scars on his body, he had never been afraid of any enemy, and he was always talking and laughing, but at this moment, his face was as serious as iron:
"It's Yingxiao!"
