Chapter 91: Strength 2

(unchanged)

Li said that there were indeed nearly 100,000 people in these divisions and brigades, plus the Ba people, but the 40,000 Ba people had not been fully trained, and the most important thing was that the Ba people did not have officers above the rank of commander, which was the result of the Qin army using the Ba people but restricting the Ba people. The Qin people only recruited Bashu soldiers, but they didn't want generals from Ba people and Shu people, let alone witches (strategists). Such an army is not formed, and naturally there is no way to rebel.

The Qin State used the Ba people and Shu people as cannon fodder, and the Chu army wanted to use the Ba people and Shu people as normal divisions and brigades. The Ba people and Shu people are not a foreign race in the eyes of Xiong Jing, they are also part of China. Zhao Zheng, who was born in Dongyi, later transformed into the Qiang people of Tibet, and Baiyue who later transformed into Cantonese and Fujian people, these are all Xia people.

The 'Xia people' in the Zhou population only refers to the various tribes after the Zhou Dynasty, and I am sitting in the world, I am Zhengshu, and you are on the four sides You are the meaning of barbarians - 'Yi Di into China, then China, China into Yi Di, then Yi Di'. According to this logic, when Alexander entered the rule of China, he became a Xia man; The failed regime, such as if the party fled to the island, immediately became Yidi.

This is a cultural concept, not a blood concept. Even according to the cultural concept, Zhou Li is only a kind of Chinese ceremony, there is Yin Li before Zhou Li, and there is Xia Li before Yin Li. Xia Li is too early, but the Song Kingdom destroyed the country more than 50 years ago (286 BC), that is to say, Zhou Li and Yin Li have coexisted for more than 800 years after King Wu conquered the Zhou Dynasty, how can it be said that the Chinese Rite is only Zhou Li?

The distinction between tribes and blood ties is extremely complex. Xiong Jing only has enemies and allies in his eyes, and then he is the kind of Qi people who are free from the enemy alliance. The Ba people are allies of the Chu people, and the Ba people can't be cannon fodder on their own, because they lack qualified officers and qualified staff officers, which is Xiong Jing's first concern.

The second thing he worries about is Nan Zheng, who is still in the war. The Qin people burned the plank road, but the Chencang Road was a waterway, and the Qin state was in the upper reaches and the Chu state was in the lower reaches. If the Qin State counterattacked, especially if the Qin State built a three-oared warship to counterattack, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After Xiong Jing directly stated his worries, Nao said slyly: "The minister thinks that the king is too worried. The Qin army in the land of Bashu has been wiped out, and the people of Bashu are no longer willing to be Qin people. Our army is stationed in Nanzheng, and Bashu can be safe. The Qiang people are coming from Huanshui again, but those who can be worried are the Qin people in Shu, and the officials are mostly Qin people. Since the king did not give the land of Shu to the Ba people, why not give the land of Shu to the Qiang people? ”

Nao cunning accidentally brought up the controversial ownership of Shu again. After the destruction of Shu, the nobles of Shu either fled or moved away, and the Chu army invaded Shu, not only the cities were full of Qin people, but most of the officials were Qin people. I heard that the Chu State did not want the Shu land, and the Ba people naturally couldn't ask for it, but the Shu land would never be given to the Ba people, and if the Ba people monopolized the Sichuan, there would be chaos in the future.

Nao cunning mentioned the Qiang people, Xiong Jing said: "The Qiang people have no merit, how can they get Shu land?" Xiong Jing was stunned for a moment, and he continued: "The Qiang people are far away in the west of Longxi, can they really arrive?" ”

"Yes." Li said. "The so-called 'Xiqing is because Huan is coming, floating in the dive, surpassing the river, entering the Wei, and chaotic in the river.' The west slope is the West Qiang, the one who washes the water, and the upper reaches of the Han River. Shudi, Hanzhong and Qiang have been connected since ancient times. ”

Li and talk about the geography of western Sichuan, Huanshui is the Bailongjiang River of later generations, its source is probably in Maqu in Gansu, diving is a section of the Jialing River, and the Jialing River can be traced up to the depression of the Nanzheng Basin (Luoyang). It is more possible to follow the Han River along the Chencang Road into Weishui, and finally enter the Yellow River from Weishui. Previously, the Great Sima Mansion had made an agreement with the Qiang people that they would arrive in Nanzhong this autumn.

"There may be twenty or thirty thousand Qiang people." Let's say it again. "Once they received the armor, the army of Hanzhong exceeded 100,000. There is Linwu Jun Pang Nuan as the general here, and the Eshi is stationed in the place where the merchant is located, and Chengtong is the general. ”

"By Pang Nuan?" Xiong Jing blinked, this old guy is not dead.

"Yes. Lin Wujun invited himself to be a general. Dou Ao Yunzhi, so he is the general of Nanzheng. Nao said slyly. After Xiang Yan's death, the only general who can really take charge of himself and has great experience in fighting the enemy is Pang Nuan. After all, he commanded the last joint column, and although he failed, he also led his army to retreat.

"According to the news, the Qin people do not know the art of boat-building. The Baidi people also said that there were no boat-builders in Bactria. "Don't talk to me. Xiong Jing feared that Aristotle IV would bring shipbuilders into Qin, but he didn't. He was surrounded by people who knew him.

"Although our army is not allowed to disperse, there is Tianchi Daze in the upper reaches of the Western Han River in the city of Fucheng, which is about several miles wide and dozens of miles long." He continued. "The Yue division war boat is stationed here, and the Qin people are afraid. The plank road of Bao Slope Road and Meridian Road were all burned down, and even if there was a valley road, it was difficult for the Qin army to enter Nanzheng. The Qin people attacked me, and the only way to attack me was to go down the waterway, or to attack Shangluo.

The minister only thought that the Tang division stationed in the mountains and forests west of Shangluo should not be moved lightly, and then the strength of the third and fourth divisions of the Hubei division should be worry-free. In this way, there are 20,000 Yue people, 40,000 Ba people, 20,000 or 30,000 Qiang people in Nanzheng, and then there is a Cangwu half division led by Lin Wujun, which should be safe. Considering the land of Shuba, it is enough for the Yue people to leave one or five thousand each. ”

There is Tianchi Daze in the west of Chencang Road, and after the earthquake, Daze disappeared, and Chencang Waterway became a land route. The Yue people crossed the boat, and the Qin people really had no way to attack Nanzheng. However, Xiong Jing thought of the ice, but according to Li Ji's arrangement, there are at least more than 70,000 people in Nanzheng, and there is a veteran Pang Nuan, who is in charge, so there is really nothing wrong.

He nodded slowly, and then said, "The old Yingfang City has a total of twelve divisions and more than 60,000 people......

The people of the old Yingfang City Fu who used to be the soldiers of the Qin army are not easy to digest, but they must be digested if they are not digested. Subtracting those who were transferred by the Qin people before Fuying, and those who were 'stolen' by Fengjun Jingzhao, the remaining Fu Ding Zhuang made up a total of twelve divisions.

These divisions had few or no cavalry, only heralds and additional rebukes, and there were no archers, only spearmen. There are more than 5,300 people in each division, and more than 63,000 people in 12 divisions. It has been a year since Fuying, and the Yushi and Zhu clans have trained them non-stop, saying that they can't change the pace and cadence that are destined to die, as well as the habit of drinking before the war and grabbing people's heads during the war, but they are also hardcover soldiers, and these people can't do without them when the war comes.

Two hundred and twenty thousand plus more than sixty thousand, a total of 270,000. Add 120,000 Wei and Zhao's army, which is 390,000. 390,000 is not far from Li Xin's 400,000. This couldn't help but make Xiong Jing think of the Battle of Qingshui ten years ago, and the number of Qin and Chu armies in that battle was not far apart.

Xiong Jing thought that the difference in strength was not far behind, and Li He said: "Xiang's division is advancing westward, and the Wei people are uneasy, so the king of Wei is afraid that he will not send troops to Fangcheng." The Zhao army also had to leave 20,000 in Daliang to prevent the Qin from attacking the Great Song County. ”

In a word, 40,000 people are gone, and these 40,000 people are to replace the four divisions of Xiang Division. Xiong Jing did not delve into this, but said: "Where is the teacher of the old Ying's new editor? The widow wants to see it. ”
