Chapter Seventy-Seven: Recruitment

"The fathers and villagers of the Wei State, the Qin people are tyrannical. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info they kill your relatives and destroy your fields. The evil Qin people also dug up the embankment of the Yellow River to flood Daliang City. How many fathers and villagers of the Wei State either died in the surging yellow water, or died under the swords and axes of the Qin people. Your wives and daughters were humiliated by the Qin people, and your property was plundered by the Qin people.

Now that our Great Chu is here, we are here to help you resist the tyranny of the Qin people. The fathers and villagers of the Wei State took up arms and fought with the Qin people. My king has promised that as long as you drive the Qin people out of their homeland, this land will still be the land of Wei. Your military exploits on the battlefield will also be rewarded accordingly. What are you waiting for, join the Chu army! A Chu military captain stood on a high platform and shouted loudly to the Wei people who were pressed by the darkness below. Speaking of impassionedness, there is also a rather inflammatory wave to vent tyrannical emotions.

"Folks, I don't have anything else. There is only this one grandson, and today I will send him to join the army. My family originally lived in Zhuangzi on the edge of the beam, and there were more than a dozen people in the family. Although life is tight, it can be regarded as passable. But the Qin people came, and they conquered the young people of their families to dig the embankment of the Yellow River. My eldest son didn't want to, so his head was cut off and hung on a tree. Pity my daughter-in-law, who was ruined to death by eight Qin troops. Even ...... Even I didn't let go of my ten-year-old granddaughter!

The rest of the people, even men and women, were driven to dig the river embankment, and only I, a lonely old man, was disgusted and had no strength to spend food. The dog baby was the one I escaped by hiding in the cellar. On the day the Yellow River burst, the sky collapsed! The strong laborers of the whole village were washed away by the water of the Yellow River. Not a single one survived! Folks, Qin Gouzi harms people. Let's pick up the guys and fight with them, we won't have a way to live if we don't kill them all! "An old man with a white beard and a boy of eight or nine years old. Crying on the stage like a doll in confinement.

The cries of the old and the young soon resonated with the Wei people, and Wang Ben excavated the flooded girder of the Yellow River. How many people were swallowed up by the flood on the embankment, and how many people were abused to death by the Qin people when the Qin army's military discipline was lax. Inside and outside the city of Daliang, and even in the entire Wei State, which family has no blood feud with the Qin people. What happened to the old man is exactly what happened to thousands of Wei families.

"Kill Qin Dog! Kill the Qin dog! Kill into Hangu Pass and kill all the Qin dogs! Captain Chu clenched his fists and raised his head high to the sky. His eyes were as bright as copper bells, and his neck was even more bruised.

The people of Wei were boiling, "Kill Qin Dog!" Kill the Qin dog! Kill into Hangu Pass and kill all the Qin dogs! The slogan shook the earth, and for a time the recruitment office was full of applicants. Groups of Wei people flocked to the conscription office, and the Chu people in charge of recruiting troops were busy.

"Huh! The king is a good method, but he is only slightly agitated. You can add 300,000 elite soldiers to our Dachu! Xiang Liang stood on a hillside, looking at the surging crowd below. Extremely impressive!

"It's just picking up Yunyue's tooth wisdom, that's what Yunyue did in Bashu back then. I heard that the same is done in the Western Regions. Back then, Lone followed him on an expedition to Bashu and saw his means of agitating people's hearts. It's really powerful, you look at those Wei people who are all desperate. This is the best dead soldier on the battlefield, and the news came from Xianyang's eyeliner. Yun Yue killed Zhao Gao, and the internal strife of the Qin people has been eliminated. Tu Sui led an army of 300,000 and rushed to the eastern battlefield in the starry night.

These 300,000 people are the elite of the Qin army, and they have been staying in the northwest to confront Yunyue in the past few years. This is a force that can turn the tide of battle, and we need new soldiers. Changping Jun sighed helplessly, he didn't expect the internal strife of the Qin people to subside so quickly. didn't expect that Yun Yue would enter Xianyang without being opposed by Xianyang Xungui. What kind of opponent Yun Yue is, others don't know what he knows. This guy is extremely difficult, and he has not tasted defeat since his debut. If he joined the Central Plains battlefield, the pressure on the Chu army would increase exponentially. That's why Changping Jun thought of it. To recruit the Wei people into the army, only this group of Wei people will really fight with the Qin people.

"It's a great thing to have 300,000 troops all at once. It's a bit difficult to raise military rations alone, which is 300,000 mouths. The amount of food consumed per day. I'm afraid the country will be very tight! Xiang Yan said with some concern. He is a veteran who has experienced great battles, and of course knows how dangerous it can be to run out of military rations. If one gets it right and triggers a mutiny, it will be catastrophic. Besides, how much combat power these Wei people can have. This also needs to be tested on the battlefield, and just because Wei has produced Wei Wushu, it cannot be considered that Wei is capable of fighting.

"Gu has already sent someone to the Qi State to meet the Qi King Tian Jian, and he has no good life after the Chu State is over. The country of Qi is rich, and it is still feasible to prevent them from sending troops and providing some military rations. Tian Jian should understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and he can raise some more or less in the Wei State. If the country tightens up a little tighter, it is estimated that there is not much of a problem. "Changping Jun has been a Xiangbang in the Qin State, so he is naturally very familiar with the matter of military food raising.

And Changping Jun has one of the biggest reliances in his heart, that is, the filial piety queen is conquering the spiritual canal built by the people. As long as the Ling Canal is opened, there will be a large amount of Bashu grain and straw, which will be transported to Chu through water transportation. Then, with the help of the dense water network of the Chu State, it was transported to the nearest hoarding place to the front line. In this way, the grain supply of the Chu army will be greatly improved. And because the Qin army lacks the grain of Bashu, the military food will become overstretched. This one in and one out, the gap is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

"It turns out that the king has already made a plan, but the old man is too worried." Hearing Changping Jun say this, Xiang Yan was also relieved. Unexpectedly, Changping Jun was still a good planner, and he looked down on him before.

"The general is a veteran soldier who has led soldiers for many years, and what he expected is naturally an important thing in the army. Your experience is unmatched by those of us who are younger generations. In the future, you will have to control more of your military strategy. This battle is related to the fortunes of our Great Chu, and we can only win but not lose. If it is really defeated, the state of Chu will probably disappear from now on. Changping Jun sighed, he had already staked everything in the Chu State in this battle. As long as this battle is lost, the state of Chu will soon perish. The state of Chu, which dominated southern China, will also become history.

"Xiang Yan, as a minister of Chu, should do his best for the state of Chu and the king. In fact, the king doesn't have to worry, even if Wang Jian has 300,000 reinforcements, the total number is only a little more than 400,000. And our army has 600,000 soldiers, plus the newly recruited Wei people. The total number of people is close to one million, and we have a two-to-one advantage in terms of numbers. Moreover, the battlefield is the vast Central Plains, which is very different from the small land of Changping. In such a battlefield environment, it is impossible for the Qin people to replicate the Battle of Changping. Xiang Yan said confidently.

Although Wang Jian is also a famous general of Great Qin, the gap in numbers is a hard injury that cannot be made up. Xiang Yan took a fancy to this point and dared to say such a big thing.

"Grandpa, don't be careless, Pingliang's cavalry is very powerful. When the child was in Pingliang, he saw the takin cavalry in Pingliang. The man rode on an ox, almost a foot high. The takin has a heavy body, which is far from being comparable to ordinary cavalry. If there are takin cavalry in the Qin army, my Dachu infantry will be difficult to resist. Xiang Yu saw that his grandfather didn't take the Yun family's military strength in his eyes at all, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious.

He had stayed in Pingliang, so he naturally knew the strength of the takin cavalry. These guys, who weigh up to a ton, have a far more impactful impact than ordinary cavalry. Any phalanx of infantry, seeing takin cavalry is a shocking nightmare. Xiang Yu didn't want his grandfather's reputation to be ruined by these tyrannical takin cavalry.

"Yu'er, don't talk nonsense, your grandfather has never seen anything in his battle. And takin cavalry, have you ever seen an army fighting on a bull? Xiang Liang didn't believe a word of Xiang Yu's words, and Xiang Yan next to him also had a skeptical attitude.

There are few horses in the Chu State, and even ordinary cavalry in the army are indebted. Not to mention the army that fought on oxen, and horses were valuable in the state of Chu. Oxen are more valuable than horses, and horses can only fight and pull carts. Cattle are strong laborers in the paddy fields, and when the farm is busy, the family is reluctant to eat the grain, which will be fed to the cows. In the past, Xiang Yu said that he often ate beef in Pingliang, which had shocked them. Unexpectedly, the people of Pingliang still rode cattle to fight. In other words, once the cow runs, can it still be controlled?

"Uncle, it's true. The takin cavalry is really powerful, grandpa! You really have to be careful! Xiang Yu was so anxious that he didn't want it, but found that Xiang Liang and Xiang Yan still didn't believe it. Xiang Yu was so anxious that he wanted to use a knife to cut people!

"That's it! After only a few battles, I followed the adults to say this. You're still young, so it's your duty to listen and see more. Go ahead, and take your soldiers well. When I see the takin cavalry, let them taste the power of my Chu army. Xiang Liang waved his hand away to drive Xiang Yu away, this kid was too mysterious. Many of these people are veterans who are used to leading soldiers, and I heard about Le Yi's fire bull formation. But it was a battle with oxen tied together and firewood tied to their tails. No one has ever seen an army fighting on oxen.

Xiang Yu saw Xiang Yan re-look at the Wei people who were being reorganized, and stomped his feet helplessly and left.

"The takin cavalry is a lonely thing that has never been seen, not only the takin cavalry. There is also a kind of takin cart in Pingliang, which can load up to 1,000 catties, the kind of thing called takin. They are indeed tall, and Lone has never seen them in battle. But looking at that figure, it's terrifying enough. If you run, I'm afraid that even ordinary carriages can knock over. "Xiang Yan doesn't know the goods, but Changping Jun has seen it. In the past, this thing helped the Qin army transport supplies for soldiers, and its transportation capacity was really amazing. It's just that Changpingjun hasn't seen takin fighting. However, with that huge body, the impact must be very strong.
