Chapter 143: The Insult Is Too Great
The second emperor had no intention of political affairs and military affairs, and this kind of thing would be found if he paid a little attention, so it was almost impossible for the Qin army to have 300,000 iron cavalry.
But Yu Zhou's worries are not unreasonable, just talking about the horse pedal is such a thing, it can greatly shorten the training time of the cavalry, from several years of work to the battle on the horse, the war just experienced is to illustrate this truth, otherwise how dare Chen Sheng and Wu Guang let his subordinates climb on horseback and become cavalry?
Guys who have not been in the army can barely control horses, so what if a fierce soldier who is good at riding is paired with horse pedals? Isn't the act of kicking and hiding like a joke?
Yu Zhou did not doubt the learning ability of the ancients at all, except that their ideas were relatively limited due to vision reasons, in fact, the ancestors who had little entertainment were more focused, and they were better at carving themselves with hard work......
Horse pedaling has become popular, who still rides on the back of a smooth horse and works hard! So it's not a lie!
"Yan Heng!"
"Captain!"
Looking at the missing piece of the city wall in Pengcheng, Yu Zhou's thoughts turned several times, and after calling Yan Heng, he asked, "Can our people still contact Meng Yi?" ”
"This ...... He should be hiding everywhere now, the mountains are far away, and it will take a lot of work. ”
"Then find someone to contact Wang Li."
Yan Heng frowned, didn't ask the ins and outs, and agreed without any scruples: "Passing on the book or passing the letter?" ”
"Bring him a word, just say that the horse kick is a sharp weapon of the country, the Chu people can use it, the Qin people can use it, but the Hu people can't use it, let him be cautious, and the four Yi are outside the pass."
"I know, I'll arrange for someone to go, it's just a sub-period...... Wang Li, as a Qin general, can he listen to us? ”
Yu Zhou has no bottom in his heart, because at this time there is no concept of nationality at all, the merchants, the Zhou people, the Qin people, and the Chu people are all named after the country, or simply the land, and the deep-rooted distinction between the Central Plains and the alien race is deeply rooted in his heart, and there are only two significant differences in the eyes of others - left and right, and whether they can speak Yayan.
Not only the Qin people see it this way, but in addition to the people around them who are deeply affected by Yu Zhou, the people of Chu also see it this way.
But he is well aware of the opposition between nomadism and farming, and he must not wait for the lives to be destroyed before he thinks of prevention and suppression, and then it will be too late!
"Forget it, after entering the city, I'll tell Brother Yu and ask him to send someone to contact Wang Li, no matter how fierce the family fights, the bottom line of respecting the king can't be moved."
"Okay."
All the way forward, the scene is a bit miserable, the foot soldiers are attacking the city, and they are crawling over and bypassing any obstacles, but this kind of thing falls on the cavalry is to step on it.
It seems that Xiang Ji fought very boldly, because Yu Zhou saw more than once that the collapsed earthen walls were covered with horseshoe prints, and those walls should have been houses, but now the thatched roofs have turned into smoke, and the earthen walls have become earthen bridges.
Xiao He had already entered the city first, and the guys who were carrying Jian Chun back and forth were all his people, and when the smoke rose, he was more anxious than anyone else, for fear of destroying these treasures.
The black bamboo slip looks like it has been scrapped, Xiao He reverently rubbed it with his hand, stroked the plaster, he didn't care about the black hands at all, staring at his eyes and chanting word by word, maybe it was because it was easy to recognize a line of words, this guy who was no longer confused suddenly showed a childlike innocent smile, ten fingers quickly flicked, and the abacus crackled in one hand.
"Xiao Changshi, it's time to go four times and five into one."
Xiao He was defenseless, startled by the sudden voice, and after turning his head to see the person who came, he let out a long breath: "Where did you come from, if the young general doesn't put this fire, he can still leave something in one, now...... The old man went to look for it again. ”
As the saying goes, killing people and setting fire to the gold belt, Xiang Jili can pull out the mountain and be energetic, it is impossible to expect this guy to be a general who has committed no crimes in the autumn, from Huiji to Pengcheng, there are not a few things that he destroys intentionally or unintentionally or by killing him.
But one thing is good, that is, there are often many playthings under the claws of this eternal beast, but it rarely plays with human life, Yu Zhou is quite complacent about this, thinking that this is because of his own subtlety, just like now, the house can be rebuilt when it falls, and the city wall can be repaired if it collapses, as long as you don't see the blood and corpses of the people.
It sounds a bit like a paradox, but I have to admit that the destruction of civilian houses is actually a good opportunity to bring the military and civilians closer......
Why?
Because the people are too kind and forgetful, when faced with a new house, they only remember who built it, but they forget all about the murderer who destroyed their home.
When only the Chu army and the Chu army will help rebuild after the house is destroyed, the harvest of gratitude is simply not too much!
How can there be immortals in war? How can there be a war that does not set fire? In the past city wars, the defenders demolished the houses as tools, and the siege army vented their heads, and human lives were like grass mustard, how could they take care of a lot?
Now not only are people fine, but the house is also traded-in, and the people are very content, no wonder their logic is a bit peculiar......
Therefore, although Yu Zhou does not approve of Xiang Ji's liking to dismantle things, he has not tried to persuade him, firstly, it can let him vent his energy, and secondly, it seems that he can quickly close the relationship between the military and the people, it seems that ...... Nothing bad?
If you can't encourage it, then be silent.
"Xiao Changshi has worked hard, when I settle down, I will send people to help build it, there is not much money and food in this city, brothers are waiting for rewards."
Xiao He immediately showed a pixiu face, shook his hand and returned the abacus to its place with a "bang", and replied: "No, no, they were all burned by the young general, you should go to him." ”
From the moment he first met, Yu Zhou felt that Xiao He's long face was somewhat similar to a certain animal, especially when he pulled his face to speak, it always reminded people of the allusion of "Zhuge Jin's Donkey", but he didn't know if his young son Xiao Yan had Zhuge Ke's quick wit.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhou covered up his smile with the help of laughter, and pretended to be frivolous and said: "Changshi, anyway, there are no outsiders here, you can get to the bottom of it, and I can go back to appease the army." ”
Xiao He rolled his eyes: "Go, go, your family is so rich, pad it yourself." ”
"This is not good, the private use of public funds is at most corruption, and it is taboo to use private money to raise soldiers."
"It's okay, if you donate your family wealth, and the old man will use it under your command, won't you kill two birds with one stone?"
Only by believing in him can there be ghosts!
Yu Zhou's face straightened, and he no longer: "Are there any casualties among the people?" No one violates the law and kills indiscriminately, does he? ”
"There have been some casualties among the people, and as for the indiscriminate killers, they have not yet been found."
It is a bit absolute to completely eliminate casualties, as long as there is no deliberate indiscriminate killing, Yu Zhou nodded, said "I'll go find the major general" and continued to walk forward.
……
When he arrived at the county government, Wu Hu was covered in sweat and was gnawing grass at the door, eating two mouthfuls and spitting out, picking his mouth very much, as soon as Lu Matong saw him and Yan Heng, he subconsciously shrank to the side of Wu Hu.
Yu Zhou didn't bother to pay attention, and walked forward with a step.
"Du Wei, Yu Du Wei ......"
"Mr. Chen, don't come unharmed, what's the matter, you haven't left yet?"
Chen Yu smiled awkwardly: "Du Wei don't want to make fun of me, I want to see General Xiang, but they have been blocking me from seeing it......"
"Something?"
Chen Yu looked left and right.
"In that case, forget it."
"Don't don't, Captain Yu, you help Chen to intercede, lend me thousands of elite soldiers to go around, and it doesn't feel good to send people under the fence.
I swear, when I have something to do, I will make a covenant with the Chu army to serve the king of Chu as brothers, and never fight against each other! ”
Yu Zhou looked at the guy opposite, and thought to himself where did the confidence of these so-called "celebrities" and "heroes" come from? If you want to borrow a soldier with empty mouth and white teeth, what is a soldier? That's a living man! It's life, and it's also the general's life!
What is the use of a sentence of never fighting each other? Han Xin had three no-kills, and in the end, wasn't he stabbed to death by a group of women with bamboo? Soldiers don't face each other, and swords and crossbows, what a wordgame, when I'm stupid?
"This matter will be discussed later, sir should go back quickly."
Chen Yu's face changed suddenly, he became compassionate, sad and indignant, sad and indisputable, everyone was drunk and I woke up, and said excitedly: "I am a general and a lieutenant who is really anti-Qin, but it turns out that this is just the case!" ”
After finishing speaking, this guy craned his neck and looked up at the sky, looking like he was waiting for others to be embarrassed and refuted or humbly asked for advice, which was extremely disgusting.
When Yu Zhou stopped Yan Heng from drawing his knife, Chen Yu was secretly happy in his heart, how could he have thought that the next words would not be like that at all.
"You don't need to judge what the Chu army did, and you don't want to use this as a cover to satisfy your own desires, anti-Qin is equivalent to borrowing soldiers? How do you have a brain? Don't these two things together! Are we cooked? ”
"I am ......"
"You're a fart, you really have the ability to pull a ticket to do it yourself, don't you have the ability to make a fool of yourself here? My Great Chu Army's master, Mr. Fang, is a scribe, and he still performed the feat of assassinating Emperor Qin, what about you? Seeing that the arms and legs are not crippled, how can they only have some glamorous paths! ”
"You ......"
"What am I? Did you save you from Dingli, and you think that I am soft-hearted and easy to speak? You have to get out of now, and after a while I change my mind, how to fish it out, I will give you how to stuff it back, and the right to walk the dog! ”
The straightforward and ruthless words were like a sword, piercing Chen Yu's heart and scraping his face.
This thing is really strange, when he came to the envoy, he got off the oil pot, he would cry and struggle and beg for mercy, he didn't care how embarrassed, and now he was subjected to bad words, Chen Yu's face was blue and white for a while, gray and red for a while, and finally the angry appearance was fixed, and there was a bit of a decision that could not be killed, not like a fake.
Yu Zhou saw through it at a glance and added: "Get out, I received news that your father-in-law Zhang Er and General Chen Wuchen recently led elite soldiers north, and they have the potential to occupy an area as the king, and you may be able to catch up now, so you can do it yourself!" ”
Chen Yu was shaken after hearing this, just like when he had nothing, he could use all his means and have no scruples, and suddenly learned that his family had a small amount of money, and it was difficult to let it go.
He stood in silence for a long time, and he didn't say anything, he turned around and left, stunned by many people.
"Ziji, why bother to humiliate him to death!"
"Because some people are shameless to death, this is how they can break their thoughts."
Xiang Ji nodded casually, and then went to pick up Fan Zeng, who had just arrived, the old man slapped his palm away, glanced in the direction where Chen Yu left, and said in a dumb voice: "Since this is the case, then this person should be left behind, and he should not be let go, humiliating people is a great enemy of life and death, boy, you should be careful to backfire and raise a strong enemy." ”
Yu Zhou smiled, and while handing his long sword to Fan Zeng, he explained: "Is it a strong enemy who can know by looking at his people, this guy is nothing, but the person behind him, I am very curious." ”
Fan Zeng tried his best to straighten his back and sighed: "The old man has also seen it, and there is indeed a lobbyist whose demeanor should not be underestimated, and the one who can make him die should be a hero."
Yu'er, this person must be entertained when he comes, I heard that he is still a fellow villager of Fan Xu, so he happened to get close to him together to show his connection. ”
Fan Zeng, who was trying to bewitch the overlord to kill Liu Bang, actually asked Xiang Ji to entertain Liu Ji well, it seems that this is because he hasn't met and doesn't understand, otherwise with Old Man Fan's temper, he will throw a sentence of "I belong to this prisoner".
scolded Chen Yu and sent Li Shiqi away, and everyone sat in the Pengcheng County Government, discussing and issuing orders to set countless matters.
The city is its own, the walls must be repaired, the people must be pacified, and the money, food, soldiers, and armor must be liquidated. The most important thing is that now the Chu army is like a nail squeezed into the gap between the Pei army and the Chen army, and there are some small worries about going west and north, and in the face of the complicated situation, what to do next is the most important thing.
"Divide the troops!"
As soon as Xiang Ji opened his mouth, countless people's minds immediately surged, some were excited, some were waiting for the next with expectations, and there were guys who couldn't see the change on their faces, and they could play the piano with their fingers dancing......
There are many people in an army, in order to quickly take the city, they must embark on the road of dividing the troops, how to divide it, who leads the army, this is what everyone is more concerned about, usually under the command of the major general, who wants to miss the opportunity?
Yu Zhou is willing to ......
Listening to the noisy voice, he began to consider the problem from the perspective of Xiang Ji, thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized that he was the first choice to lead the army to fight, which was unacceptable.
Why?
Because of the march into the Central Plains, the next situation will become more and more complicated, heroes, heroes, and traitors will all appear, Yu Zhou does not dare to say that he can fully deal with these people, but compared to Fan Zeng, who is older and has limited vision, he recognizes himself as a better guiding light rather than using a city and a domain to show his personal merits!
Say it's big talk? In a pig's eye!
Compared with Yu Zhoulai, who else in the world knows the details of many people?
Those who are as good at scheming as Fan Zeng are not wary of Liu Bang from the beginning, Yu Zhou can! A person who is as strategist as Zhang Liang can't just listen to the name to know what this person's temperament is, and he can be an enemy or friend in the future, Yu Zhou is okay!
If you take precautions early, you can beware of not being able to do it in the future when you don't have a deep friendship, and if you make friends earlier, you can find a balance between history books and real people, and quietly make up for some regrets......
What's more, in terms of friendship, Yu Zhou felt that once Xiang Ji got into some horns, only he was the best advisor.
To put it bluntly, don't worry about him going on a rampage!
"Major General, do you know about Qin Jia?"
Hearing Yu Zhou's words, Xiang Ji's attention was really diverted: "Qin Jia? What happened? ”
"Just when you were leading the troops to attack the city, I and the military advisor received news that there was a person named Qin Jia in Tandi, and he had already taken the city of Tanxian County!"
Xiang Ji thought about the position for a moment and said: "This is a good thing, the more anti-Qin righteous people, the faster the violent Qin will be destroyed, what's wrong?" ”
"This person wants to be attached to Chu, but he refuses to recognize the king of Chu, and he does not allow us to wait for half a step into Tandi, I heard that he has established himself as the Great Sima and is looking for a new king of Chu......"
When Xiang Ji heard this, his eyebrows were raised: "There is a Zhang Chu, and another pseudo-Chu, what do these people think of Xiang?"
The three generations of the Xiang family have been in Chu, and I still don't dare to take the position of general, they are good, they are both kings and big Sima, and they insult me too much! ”
At this moment, the room suddenly became quiet, because Xiang Ji's appearance was too terrifying, his double pupils were a little bit like he was angry, and he was really angry, and his eyes were about to pop out!
At this time, there are a few of the most familiar people who dare to talk.
Long He thought that Yu Zhou was helping him, glanced at the latter gratefully, and said excitedly: "Young General, give me thousands of men and horses, I will go to Tanxian County to bring his head back, to relieve the hatred in my heart!" ”
