Chapter 377: Expedition

Shou Ying's side came back with news, saying that Chu was willing to hand over the land of Jiangbei to Qin, in fact, there were too many conditions, such as the king of Chu asked Qin to only be able to take back the land of Jiangbei by himself, and not because Chu or Wu were directly approaching the army of Yingdu Jing to retreat, and the land north of the river was assigned to Qin.

It is precisely because of this that this is a request to the Qin State, the speed of the Qin State's attack on Jingdi must not be inferior to any of the soldiers and horses of the Chu State and the Wu State, on the same day, after Lin Yuyan took Zheng Dan to Xie Qin Gong and Jiang, Qin Gong ordered to convene the ministers and the generals of the Yulin Army to discuss the southern expedition.

The Duke of Qin also put forward Lin Yuyan's identity of granting the old Qin people to the soldiers of the Southern Expedition in public, and now most of the court's scholars came from the Central Plains to seek military merit, even if the foundation of the old clan is still there, many scholars still agreed to such proposals, and let go of the military lord system, in fact, those old clans who hold local authority are more able to obtain military merits, and then promote the title.

Therefore, the Duke of Qin ordered that the 30,000 soldiers of the Yulin Army were ready to go and would come to Wancheng to hold a grand reward ceremony for the southern expedition.

The Yulin Army is different from the Praetorian Guard composed of the Wangcheng Guard, the nearly seventy percent of the soldiers of the Yulin Army were just homeless refugees in Daqin a few years ago, and it was Lin Yuyan who accepted Jianyang as the clan of the Lin family surnamed Ying and established Shanglin Yuan, and the army formed by the refugees who fled from all over the country, including the old Qin people who originally belonged to the Lin family surnamed Ying, and they almost monopolized the grassroots generals of the Yunlin Army by virtue of their military merits established by their brave combat effectiveness.

As for those who are not old Qin, they have naturally established a lot of meritorious deeds, but Daqin only rewarded them with the corresponding rewards for their titles, but they were very stingy with the titles exclusively occupied by the old Qin people.

In addition to Fang De, who was recruited from the north by Lin Yuyan, the generals of the Yulin Army also had the original generals Sheng Nong and Huangfu Gao, but the latter two were more in name, and Fang De was still responsible for some military drills.

At present, the year has not passed, but the soldiers are fast, these Nanyang troops still have to arrive in Nanjun for a simple army to cooperate with the drill, once it is the spring of the next year, Qin Gong went to Xincai to sign an alliance, it is not a day to attack Jingdi.

In early December, 30,000 Yulin Army was assembled, Yulin Army was the first army of Great Qin to imitate the Central Plains, completely used to fight the war, and even the Nanyang Army that once guarded the northern border, more or wartime, there were border army guards to run horses to call on the old Qin people in the northern border, self-prepared soldiers and even dry food to fight, this army has not yet taken off the old tradition of "getting on the horse for the soldiers, dismounting for the people".

The nine-zhang high platform has been painted with several layers of decoration, especially the flag of Daqin's army, under the whistling north wind, there are 30,000 soldiers of Daqin, and a pole is piercing the sky, and the new standard armor of Daqin is also shining and flashing with cold.

Qin Gong climbed to the first floor of the Jiuzhang high platform, which was different from the past, it was the first time he saw Daqin's army like this, with 30,000 soldiers displaying a neat square formation, wearing shiny armor and holding soldiers, invisibly shrouded in a cold and murderous aura.

Qin Gong remembered that when the Great Qin was at its peak written in the history books of Great Qin, there were 500,000 old Qin people who were called from Hangu Guanxi, and there was not much food in Great Qin at that time, and even many old Qin people were only a bronze sword in their hands, and they didn't even have protective armor, but they were not afraid in the face of the well-equipped Wei army!

Even if it is the comrades around him, he has become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood under the front of Wei Wu's soldiers, and the soul of the dead under the knife, but he is still not afraid of death, and he goes forward one after another, and the defeat of the Qin people in the original battle of Hexi is that the Great Qin is completely behind the various national strengths of the Central Plains, not the blood and courage of the Qin people.

Therefore, the old Qin people can go forward and succeed each other, and live to death!

Gong Qin stood on the high platform and said loudly: "At that time, the Great Qin Ruishi only had a bronze sword, no armor, no food, in the face of the strong soldiers of the Central Plains, are you afraid?!" ”

"None! Not! Not! ”

The figure of 30,000 soldiers shattered the sky, and the Changge in his hand also hit the ground with the figure, as if the whole earth trembled for it.

Duke Qin looked angry, although he was not involved in martial affairs, but he also knew that Great Qin could have today, it was these soldiers who fought hard for the Qin State with a knife and a gun, especially in recent years, Great Qin was able to occupy the land of the four counties, and there was also an army that resounded in the ears of the Qin people, that is, the Yulin Army!

"Today's soldiers of Great Qin, there are swords comparable to those of the Koreans, the armor of Wei Wushu, your crotch, and the good horses raised by Longdi Rongdi, in Daqin, there are millions of Qin people who provide you with a steady stream of food, what are you afraid of!"

"In the southern border of Great Qin, there are still mobs who watch the wealth of the Qin people, and now that Great Qin and Wu Chu will ally and hold a battle for the Southern Expedition, have you ever been afraid!" Duke Qin's gaze swept over the soldiers below one by one, and then said: "Lone here, promise you, the battle of the southern expedition, whether it is victory or defeat, how much you gain, you are all the heroes of Great Qin, all the soldiers who follow the Great Qin banner to the south, Lonely...... You can make an exception and allow them to be old Qin! ”

Old Qin people!

Under the household Qi people, there is no division between the people and the wild people, but everything will have three, five, nine and so on, and the same is true for the people in Daqin, the old Qin people are Qin people, but the Qin people are not all old Qin people, first of all, not to mention how low the taxes of the old Qin people are, that is, in the disaster year, the old Qin people will also have a ration rewarded by the Great Qin court to ensure that they will not starve to death.

The old Qin people are the highest glory among the Qin people!

As an old Qin person, he will definitely be able to join the army, and only the old Qin people who join the army will truly implement the military merit awarding system of the Qin State!

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as he can become an old Qin person, seventy percent of the 30,000 soldiers in the eyes of the Duke of Qin will be willing to give his life to exchange, because the identity of the old Qin person will be passed down from generation to generation.

Suddenly, the 30,000-feather forest army Jiang clan erupted into a thunderous cheer.

The excitement of the crowd made Qin Gong see the Jiang family's desire for the southern expedition below, and the appearance of eagerness to try, reminded Qin Gong of the blood and bones of the old Qin people who used to be under the banner, this blood bravely reflected in Qin Gong's mind, and it also made Qin Gong have no worries about the original.

There are the sharp men of this country, what are they afraid of!

"Wine!"

According to the etiquette of the old Qin people's expedition, they will give wine, the old Qin people love wine, but the old Qin people who lack food and clothing rarely turn the precious grain into wine into the stomach, Qin Gong's voice just fell, the left and right sides of the 30,000 soldiers, there are thousands of people pouring out, first a wave of wine cups, and then a tall and healthy wrestler lifted the big wine jar and poured the wine into the bowls of the soldiers.

In a moment, Qin Gong raised the wine cup: "Drink!" ”

Qin Gong drank it all, and the soldiers below also drank the cup that Qin Gong raised from afar.

Qin Gong wiped the wine residue on his beard with his sleeves, raised the cup heroically, and shook it fiercely, smashing the cup in his hand!

The soldiers below also smashed the wine cup in the same way, and the body that drank the wine was indeed hot, and at that moment, a deep voice sang slowly from the Qin army's array: "How can you say that you have no clothes?" with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and have the same enmity with the son! ……”

This is the unclothed in Qin Feng!

In the eyes of the Duke of Qin, there was a crystal of feeling, time has passed, but this unclothed is to accompany generations of old Qin people to participate in various battles of the Qin State, and the Duke of Qin, who lived in the army when he was young, is also nostalgic, this is the old Qin people of Great Qin!

"Do you say you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son! Gradually, Duke Qin also sang along with the Great Qin soldiers below.

After a while, this tragic unclothed song slowly stopped, and Qin Gong said: "General Yulin Army, where is Fang De!" ”

Fang De stood in front of the 30,000 Yulin soldiers, and he also raised his head to look at Qin Gong, and when he heard that Qin Gong had summoned him, he stood up two steps at the moment, and looked at his fists and said: "A certain general!" ”

Qin Gongdao: "Lone Order, you lead 30,000 Yulin troops to Nanjun and join the southern army!" ”

"Whoa! Someone will obey the order! Fang De responded.

"General Xiangyang Army of Nanjun, where is Chen Zhiqing?"

Chen Zhiqing and other generals of Nanjun also received an edict from Wancheng a few days ago, and immediately rushed to Wancheng non-stop to participate in the expedition ceremony: "The end will be in place!" ”

"Alone grant you the right to command the southern expedition of 20,000 Xiangyang troops, and lead the army to the south!"

"Whoa!"

"Where is Jiang Xia Yunmengjun General Ji Hunt?!"

"In!"

"Lone gives you the right to command the 20,000 Yunmeng Army, and lead the army to the south!"

"Whoa!"

"General Jiangxia Han Navy, where is Wu Kang!"

"In!"

"Lone gives you the right to command 10,000 Han naval forces, and lead the army to the south!"

"Whoa!"

"Nanjun Shouming Zifu, Jiangxia County Cheng Feng Jian, Right Prime Minister Fan Xuan, General Sheng Nong, General Huangfu Gao, alone grant you the right to command 200,000 people with the army, and ensure the supply of grain and grass for the Southern Expedition army!"

Among these five people, Ming Zifu and Feng Jian have not yet returned in Nanjun and Jiangxia, Fan Xuan, the right minister, is the leader, and the generals Sheng Nong and Huangfu Gao are second, representing everyone Next, Qin Gong gave this order: "Oh! ”

Qin Gong looked around, and finally his gaze fell on Lin Yuyan's body, and said, "Gongzi Yan! ”

Lin Yuyan was originally behind Qin Gong, but now he took two steps forward and turned around, hugged his fist at Qin Gong and said, "Erchen is here!" ”

"The matter of the Southern Expedition is a big matter, it is really extraordinary, you are still young, but you are also the general of the lonely Great Qin, and you are the prince of Great Qin, so you should be entrusted with heavy use!" Qin Gong paused, then looked away from Lin Yuyan's body, looked at the 30,000 soldiers below, and said: "Orphan Gongzi Yan, the right to dispatch troops and horses from the south, all the military horses of the southern expedition, Gongzi Yan does not need to invite Wancheng, deploy them at will!" ”

Han Kui on the side also nodded, this Southern Expedition Battle is unusually important for Daqin, but the important thing is not only on the victory or defeat of Daqin in this war, but the achievement of the New Cai Alliance, and the excellent performance in this battle will increase the prestige of Daqin, compared to this, the war in Jingdi, as long as the New Cai Alliance is finalized, Daqin will be invincible with the alliance of Chu.

This battle is already destined to be dominated by fighting and supplemented by fighting.

It does not mean that the strategy of the war is not important, the strategy of the war is also very important, but the Duke of Qin handed over this battle to Gongzi Yan, even if he adopts the most conservative and steady battle, it is enough to win, but it is difficult to maximize the interests of Great Qin at that time.

Han Kui thinks that the magic of Qin Gong's move is that he has taken a fancy to Gongzi Yan's way of using troops is by no means conservative, since the history of this highness's military war, most of them have won with tricks, the battle of the southern border is the same, the battle of the northern border is the same, and even the battle of Wuguan in which Gongzi Yan once participated in the pseudonym Han Yan is the same, it is Gongzi Yan who led the troops to the south, which brought some unpredictable risks to Great Qin, but in the same way, along with the risks, it is the maximum benefit of Great Qin.

Lin Yuyan once again clasped his fists and saluted: "Erchen takes orders!" ”

Duke Qin looked at Lin Yuyan and knew that the second son's way of using troops was not exhaustive, so he couldn't help but admonish: "The men of Great Qin are all bloody warriors, but they must not fight to the death, do you know?" ”

"Whoa!"

Qin Gong looked at Lin Yuyan and said: "Uncle Tai is eighteen years old and his only son leads the army, and at the age of twenty he participated in the battle of Hexi, Gao Bo is also at this age, as for Wu Bo is growing up in a small army, at the age of twelve he is leading a team to fight alone, Lone can't be like this, but Lone hopes that you can be like this, continue the blood and courage of Lone Ying's surname Lin!" ”

"Erchen should do his best!" Lin Yuyan responded.

Duke Qin asked Zhao Jing to lead the Praetorian Guard soldiers to take over the banners of Great Qin's expedition, there are always hundreds, most of which are new, but there are also flags that have experienced war, and even one flag has been soaked in blood.

These banners were sent to the army below, and Duke Qin also pulled Lin Yuyan's sleeve, walked in front of a banner, and said: "Gu once thought that this Lin clan's banner should be left to Yuyuan, but now, you are more suitable than him!" ”

Qin Gong personally unfolded the banner, only to see the white cloth as the background color of the banner inlaid with black lines around it, the center is an ancient seal of the word "Lin", there is blood stained on it, but very little, and it is not that they have not experienced many battles, but the soldiers of Great Qin are all guarding the front of the Lin flag, and the enemy soldiers are not close to within a hundred zhang!

The north wind raised this flag, the big Lin word with the wind rolled, Lin Yuyan took over this flag, he also knows the history of this flag, the Lin banner built by Taibo, Gao Bo, Wu Bo are all with his entourage to go on the expedition, only Qin Gong himself, because he was injured in the competition with Lu Yangjun when he was young, it is difficult to go out with the army from martial affairs, so that this flag has been covered with dust for more than 20 years.

Today, this banner surnamed Lin has finally seen the light of day!
