Chapter 208: The Way of Use
There are two brigades in Gushan, and the second brigade is now divided into two routes, one is commanded by Yutou to defend Shangyu, and the other is led by Wei Lian to confront the Zhou army in Yiyang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Half of Zhao Zheng's troops were divided into two places, and it was not enough to compare hundreds of thousands of Qin and Zhou troops, but recruiting new soldiers in the Qin State, how could they guarantee that they would only be loyal to one person.
The clan of the Qin State has been operating for hundreds of years, and the Shang Dynasty has changed the law when the filial piety is due, and the country is rejuvenated by the ploughing war, and the national war is proud, and everyone is called the Qin of the tiger and wolf. The Qin people will only be loyal to the king of Qin, and support Zhao Zheng today, but they may also be hostile to Zhao Zheng tomorrow, just because he is not the king of Qin.
Standing in the position of the king, the people are not loyal to one person, and the country is fortunate; But standing in Zhao Zheng's position at this time, Lü Buwei no longer supports him, Yingmu and other clans still have doubts about him, no one in the Qin State can be relied on, including Meng Wu, and the nobles of the family want to benefit their own families.
This is also the reason why the Gushan Second Brigade came to Qin, and did not dare to recruit in the face of the outstanding quality of the old Qin children. Zhao Zheng wants to cultivate an army that is only loyal to himself, so that nothing like Ji Chong, who relies on his prestige to stand on his own, will not happen.
The perspective shifted to Wuyang County in the northwest of Yan Kingdom, the rich land of the former capital of Yan Kingdom, Ji Chong restrained his last ambition and did not embarrass Tian Shimu and Gushan First Brigade stationed here.
Displaced people, Ji Chong's expedition to Yan caused the displacement of nearly a million people, although he has issued an edict to appease, but Ji Dan is not dead, the Yan people are worried about this Donghu regent who relies on the Hu people to seize the throne, and most of the people poured into Wuyang County, making Wuyang County, which is not populated for ten miles on weekdays, full of newly built villages.
The Beiting mercenaries returned to China to support under the continuous offensive of Cang'er, and 200 boxes of sky-shaking thunder and incendiary bombs were the largest support for Gushan within the range of Ji Chong's patience. After the former comradeship was replaced by the regent, it was impossible for Ji Chong to let Gushan transport artillery to Beiting.
Of course, he didn't use artillery either, although he could also make artillery, and Zhao Zheng didn't hide it from him. This is also one of the reasons, Ji Chong can't be ruthless to Zhao Zheng, who has not treated him badly.
The two sides are restrained, with cold weapons as the mainstay, supplemented by earth-shaking thunder. Wanghai City became the arms supplier for the war, and Zhao Zhou no longer went south, but earned millions of taels of gold from the north court.
The Third Brigade of Gushan, let's call it so, was not submitted to Zhao Zheng for consideration. Tian Shimu boldly adopted Wang Qian's suggestion to set up the Third Brigade and appointed this former Qin Army Lieutenant with little qualifications but outstanding military achievements as the commander of the Third Division.
In the fierce battle of the Chu army in Dongping, Wang Jian led 30,000 mercenaries to defeat the 50,000 Chu army, although there were factors such as sufficient weapons, food and grass, but the casualties of the mercenaries were almost zero, all of which showed the strength of this fierce general.
Wuyang County leads to the Linhu Grassland in the north, and is adjacent to the Zhao Dynasty County of the Jin Kingdom to the west, not to mention the Jidu to the east. Like a nail, Tian Shimu was pinned to Ji Chong's neck, threatening him at all times and indirectly protecting the safety of Wanghai City.
There is only one regiment of soldiers He Miao, plus engineers who are not second-rate soldiers, which is worth 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers.
The First Brigade is stationed in Wuyang County and does not move, and this nail cannot be left so simply. Wang Jian led the 3rd Brigade, Zhao Gou led the expanded independent battalion of the independent battalion, and the 1st part of the Shenji Battalion went to Hangu Pass.
Two months later, Wang Jian took more than 20,000 people to stick to the border of the Jin Kingdom, including men and horses and hundreds of carts of military supplies, and walked slowly to Beidi County.
Less than a thousand miles apart, the Xiliang army flaunted its might near Yongcheng, and the tiger and wolf Qin army fled like rabbits.
"Egging the Ball"
Wang Jian couldn't help but scolded, "Those young master soldiers in Yongcheng have two more legs than the rice bucket, and they have lost the prestige of the old Qin people. ”
"Subordinates please fight, help the friendly army find the field", seeing Wang Jian like this, Zhao Gou hurriedly posted it and said.
Many people despise Wang Qian, thinking that he is a former captain of the Qin army, if it were not for the recommendation of Mengwu, how could he have today's status. They can also do the feats he has made in the past.
Therefore, in the Third Brigade led by Wang Qian, there were very few Gushan officers, but there were quite a few non-commissioned officers, which constituted a foundation, and Wang Jian was promoted to an officer by his hands, and there was no complaint against him.
Not only that, Zhao Gou, who accompanied him to the south, was a good person, and after several comparisons, he knew the gap between himself and Wang Qian. In this life, he has become a brigade commander at most, and Wang Jian may be a big man in charge of a country's soldiers like Wei Lian.
Zhao Gou's words were somewhat flattering, and his officers couldn't stand it, obviously having higher qualifications than Wang Qian, but they became his subordinates, and they still had the face to flatter him?
Zhao Gou didn't care about other people's opinions, and said respectfully: "The subordinates will lead the troops to sweep the formation, and they will be able to return in five days, and the adults can take the first step." The subordinates will arrive later. ”
"Uh, this...... I'm just talking, General Zhao doesn't have to take it seriously, we have the order of the Lord Army, and we must rush to Yiyang in ten days. ”
"That's right, the Qin State can only mobilize fifty or sixty thousand troops for the lord, and each of us will be of great use, at this time, Brother Zhao must not be confused."
Ji Kai looked down on this partner very much, although nominally Zhao Gou was his superior, but he just couldn't stand Zhao Gou's flattery of his boss.
"My lord, the new military order from Xiangguo ordered the Shenji Battalion to take the first step, who do you think is appropriate to escort?"
Ignoring Zhao Gou's eyes, Ji Kai obviously wanted to separate from him, always in a command headquarters, and didn't know that there would be a fight that day.
Zhao Gou just glanced at it in vain, and didn't seem to care, but recommended Ji Kai to escort him.
"Ji Sima is cautious, and his subordinates think that he should be the best candidate for escort."
Wang Jian nodded, and showed an approving look at Zhao Gou, loving to pat the horse is a small section, the key is to take care of the overall situation on the battlefield, and not to waste the public for personal reasons.
"This matter is according to what Commander Zhao said, you will handle it by Ji Sima, be careful all the way."
Ji Kai had mixed feelings in his heart, and he always felt that he had accepted Zhao Gou's affection, but he couldn't open his mouth to say "thank you".
Wang Jian suddenly smiled and said: "After two months of boring walking, I finally returned to the Qin State, and it happened that Ji Sima was leaving, so it was better for everyone to have dinner tonight, not only to prepare for the next big war, but also to travel for Ji Sima." ”
As he spoke, he grabbed Zhao Gou with one hand and Ji Kai with the other.
A gentleman is not a weapon, but he must understand the world of people, and now there is an opportunity to invite people to buy people's hearts, and it is also a great achievement to resolve the grievances of the two generals in Gushan.
Ji Kai blushed, bowed to Zhao Gou and said, "Brother Zhao, forgive me, the younger brother has offended along the way, and when this big battle is over, the younger brother will be guilty." ”
"Brother Ji is polite", Zhao Gou helped him up and smiled, since his ability is not as good as others, he still wants to climb higher, in addition to having a good temper, what else can he do.
Wang Jian suddenly realized why Tian Shimu sent Zhao Gou to be such a veteran oilman. Although Zhao Gou does not have outstanding talent, he is a sleek person and will never turn back halfway.
Fighting a war is not only about being a wise man, but more importantly, about loyalty. Wang Jian felt more and more that Tian Shimu was not simple, and arranging Zhao Gou seemed to have the intention of spying on him.
"Gushan Army, who is simple?"
A generation of war gods laughed and helped his subordinates cut the leg of mutton.
