Chapter 9 I'd rather die than the old Qin people
That night, tens of thousands of Qin people set out to move, packing their bags and preparing ordnance, all in accordance with Qin Fengmengxin's instructions, in an orderly manner. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The next day was another day of preparation, the sun had just set, and there was still an hour before departure. Mengxin, Sima Li and Li Qu came to Qin Feng when they were sick, and after expressing their intentions, Qin Feng categorically refused: "What did Master Meng say?" You are the commander of the Qin army, the captain of our army, you are immoral and incompetent, how can you usurp this position? Besides, I don't know much about the details of military affairs! You hand over this Qin army to me, can you rest assured? Even if you don't worry, I don't worry! This must not be done"!
It turned out that the three of them came to let Qin Feng take over the position of captain of the Qin army. Seeing that Qin Feng's attitude was so resolute, the three of them were in a dilemma for a while, and they didn't know what to do!
Li Quzhi thought for a while and said, "Son, if you insist on refusing to take over the post of captain, then please take the post of the left commander of our army." According to the military system of the Qin army, the chief of Zuo Shu is only a title, and he is not actually in charge, and in the future, the specific military affairs of our army will still be handled by Lord Duwei, son, you can be the commander-in-chief! Moreover, Zuo Shuchang is the tenth rank of the Qin Army, and he belongs to Jiuqing, which is not an insult to the identity of the son"!
When Meng Xin and Sima Li heard this, they also felt that this idea was very good, so that Qin Feng's identity and status would be determined, and it would be better than shouting all day long, like an outsider!
Qin Feng thought about it, if Zuo Shuchang didn't want to do it himself, he was afraid that it would hurt the hearts of these veterans, and in the long run, there would be dislikes. So I gladly agreed.
Mengxin, Sima Li and Li Qubing saw Qin Feng's agreement, and immediately smiled happily, and saluted one after another: "The last general will meet Zuo Shuchang"!
Qin Feng hurriedly pulled it up, and even said that he didn't dare!
After getting up, Sima Li said: "Zuo Shuchang, there is another difficult matter, I will come to ask you for an idea!"
"Oh? What's the matter"?
Meng Xin said: "Zuo Shuchang, that's the case, there are hundreds of old people and sick people in the city who are inconvenient to walk, and they don't want to go to the snake's belly with everyone!"
Qin Feng was quite surprised when he heard this, didn't everyone say last night that they wanted to go back to Daqin and Xianyang? Why did you change your hexagram after one night?
"Are they reluctant to be here"?
Monshin continued: "Not really! Last night, Zuo Chang's words were like a long night light, illuminating the direction of our home! If anyone is greedy for this place and is unwilling to leave, then it is not an old Qin person! They don't want to cause trouble for the army"!
Qin Feng understood when he heard this. The Qin army was already too slow to attack for a long time, and the soldiers were fast and fast, with tens of thousands of families, which was why he decided to leave early tonight. If hundreds of old people are carried again, these old people are weak and can't stand the bumps, and the army can only move slowly, and the marching speed is only afraid that it will be slower. It is with these people in mind that they voluntarily stayed and fulfilled everyone.
After thinking about it, Qin Feng said, "How can this work? Our army rushed to attack the Bolun King City, and the Bolun King would inevitably flee if he was defeated, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not come to Qin City to retaliate, wouldn't staying here be sent to death? How does this make "! Hurriedly got up and went over with the three of them to persuade each other.
When I looked over, I saw hundreds of old people gathered together, and many people around were kind and persuasive, Meng Jing, Meng Ling, Sima Zhi and Li Tie were also here, and Li Tie even knelt in front of an old man: "Mother, if you don't go!" I'm not going to go either"!
Sima Li separated everyone and shouted: "Zuo Shu Chang is here, let's listen to what Zuo Shu Chang has to say"!
When everyone saw Qin Feng and the three veterans together, they knew that Qin Feng was now the head of the left, and they didn't say much anymore, and they got out of the way.
Qin Feng stepped forward, took Li Tie's grandmother's hand and said, "Old man, didn't we say okay, let's go home together, no one is missing!" What are you doing here"?
The old man raised his head tremblingly, looked at Qin Feng, his eyes were full of tears, and said, "Childe! Oh, Zuo Shuchang, my old bones are useless! If you go, you can only affect the future generations! Zuo Shuchang, you can let our old bones stay here! We are here, and the hope of the descendants going home is greater"!
Qin Feng hurriedly explained in detail that this was powerful, saying that as soon as the army left, the King of Bolun was only afraid that he would come to Qincheng to raise troops to retaliate, and when the time came, these old men would stay here and could only wait for death.
Qin Feng talked a lot to everyone, but these hundreds of old people insisted on not leaving, saying that they couldn't affect everyone, and they couldn't affect their own descendants!
Qin Feng couldn't persuade him anymore, so he could only use force, looked back at Meng Xin, and saw that he nodded in agreement. Qin Feng shouted: "Everyone listen to the order!" Immediately carry these old people into the carriage, and we will set off immediately"!
At this time, I saw several old men snatching the Qin Sword from the waist of the people around him, lying across his neck, and shouting one after another: "If Zuo Shu Chang does not obey us, we will die in front of you now"! In addition to these dozen old people, others also shouted: "Zuo Shuchang, you just follow us"! Li Tie's grandmother also held a pair of scissors and stabbed her heart. Seeing this, Li Tie hurriedly grabbed his grandmother's wrist.
Seeing this, Qin Feng had no choice but to order five hundred people to be left to take care of these old people. Li Tie was the first to say that he would stay and take care of his eldest mother.
When the old people saw that Qin Feng wanted to keep someone to take care of themselves, they all refused: "If Zuo Shu Chang leaves these afterlife, we will die now"!
Li Tie's grandmother even twisted Li Tie's ears and scolded loudly: "Tiewa! Your archery skills are so good, don't you follow Zuo Shuchang to kill the enemy, and stay and eat white food? That's what you taught? If you stay with my old bones, I won't recognize you grandson!" I'll die on this earthen wall!" Other old people also said that they would rather die than obey!
Qin Feng had no choice at this time, and Li Quzhi stepped forward: "Chief Zuo, you just promise them!" The tone was choked, almost through gritted teeth.
After Li Qu's illness finished speaking, he knelt down in front of his mother, kowtowed three times, hugged his mother's legs, and cried!
Aunt Li Tie grabbed her grandson's wrist and handed it to her son: "Sick son! You have been weak and sick since you were a child, and your father gave you such a name, fortunately, God blesses, nine disasters and eight disasters, you now have a son, besides, now the chief Zuo is going to take you home, even if I go to see your father now, I will be blind! After speaking, the old man looked at Qin Feng: "Zuo Shuchang, I will hand over my son and grandson to you, you must take them back to our home!" Go back to our Daqin!"
Qin Feng hurriedly knelt down and crawled over, held the old man's hand and said, "Old man, don't worry!" I'll definitely take you all home! Take everyone back to Xianyang"!
The old man helped Qin Feng wipe away the tears on his face, and said softly: "Zuo Shuchang, we Qin people don't shed blood and tears!" Don't cry! The old body begs you something, you leave some fire oil for our old bones, if the king of Bolun really comes, we will do it ourselves, it is better than being humiliated by them!"
After hearing these words, Qin Feng and everyone knew that there was no way, so they knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowing and crying in front of these hundreds of old people!
In the end, everyone settled hundreds of elderly people properly, left food and fire oil around them, and cried again, and then they said goodbye.
Along the way, the Qin army had a total of 2,400 cavalry and 13,500 infantry, including 500 crossbowmen and 87,928 other old and weak women and children. In order to rest their horsepower, the cavalry did not ride, and followed everyone all the way and walked slowly. More than 100,000 people are so mighty, heading towards the mouth of the snake and going home, all the way!
Along the way, Meng Ling saw that Qin Feng was in a low mood, and immediately came to comfort him: "Brother Qin, if we hurry up and take the Bolun King City, we will send cavalry to rush back to help, and pick up those old people, everyone will be fine!"
Qin Feng knew that this was Meng Ling's words to comfort him, looked at Meng Ling, who was a little naïve, and sighed: "I hope so!"
In fact, Qin Feng knew in his heart that after capturing the Bolun King City, in order to deal with the invading enemy, where would there be troops sent out to pick up those old people! Even if there is a little surplus of troops, there are fewer people sent, and when they encounter the army of King Bolun, they are only afraid of more evil and less auspicious. There are many people who have been sent, and the city that has just been captured is only afraid of losing. Farewell today, and those old people, I am afraid that heaven and man will be separated forever!
Thirty miles of road, a full night's walk, more than 100,000 people arrived at the mouth of the snake's belly. Qin Feng, Meng Xin and the others hurriedly arranged for people to take their families to take shelter in the woods on the left, and repeatedly ordered them not to raise their voices. Only then did the more than 10,000 infantry troops set up an ambush in accordance with the situation here.
