The first year of the Great Qin II was on the sixteenth day of September. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info╔╗

After the White Tiger Army, which had deceived the gate of Shouchun City and was able to enter Shouchun City openly in just a hundred steps, took the initiative to give up entering the city and showed its banner, it was not yet an hour, including the leadership of Xiong Xin, the king of Chu, Yin Zhaotong, the new Chu Ling, Zuo Yin (deputy prime minister) Jing Gong, Mo Ao Quping, Wu Rui of Zhuguo and others, hundreds of officials large and small of the Chu State took off their robes, withdrew their robes and went out of the city, and surrendered to the Qin army who had already issued an ultimatum.

On the proposition of co-existence and death with the Shouchun Chu State and the sacrifice of the Shouchun Chu State to die and live by himself, a cadre of people, including the Chu King Xiongxin and the Zhaoqujing three clans, did not waste much time to reach an agreement.

It is said that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

When the news spread that the 300,000 troops of the great general Xiang Liang had annihilated the Qin reinforcements on the north bank of the Huai River, there were still more than 100,000 Chu soldiers left in Shouchun City, and they had no fighting spirit.

Du Teng chose to give up entering the city to reveal his identity when he had already deceived the city gate, everyone knew that this was because the Qin army did not take the Chu army defending the city in his eyes at all, thinking that even if he didn't need to count, he could easily capture Shouchun. ╔╗

Xiang Liang, Fan Zeng, Song Yi and others, who were also captured by the Qin army but not killed, appeared under the walls of Shouchun, which can be said to be the direct cause of the collapse of the entire Shouchun.

Emperor Qin did not even kill the culprit Xiang Liang, and the top and bottom of the Chu State suddenly no longer had any doubts about the past blame in Hu Hai's edict.

Although Great Qin once had the experience of killing hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Zhao State in Baiqikeng, this time it was not Du Teng and other generals who surrendered, but the order issued by Emperor Qin with an edict, which is equivalent to saying that it was an edict to the world to pardon Xiong Xin and others for the capital crimes.

It can be suspected that the commander of the Qin army will rebel, but no one will doubt that the edict of the Great Qin Emperor will go back on his word.

To the surrendered monarchs and ministers of the Chu State, Du Teng and Weng Zhong neither put on a posture of being a victor nor were they too enthusiastic about Xiong Xin and others, just like Xiang Liang and others, diplomatic rhetoric.

As for the soldiers of the White Tiger and Xuanwu armies, they did not beat or scold them as the soldiers of the Chu army who came out of Shouchun and surrendered to the Qin army. It was only confiscated that the armor and weapons of the Chu soldiers were confiscated, and then divided into three places to take care of them. Even the food consumption is more abundant than that of the Chu army. ╔╗

After all the soldiers of the Chu army left the city, Du Teng led the White Tiger Army into Shouchun City. Seal the treasury and pacify the people. Strict military discipline. Soon, because the Qin army was approaching the city, the people of Shouchun, who were worried that the Qin army would loot and kill, found that they were wrong.

The military discipline of the Qin soldiers was much better than that of the Chu soldiers who were originally born in Chu. And Du Teng's distribution of the White Tiger Army's military rations to the people of Chen County and Dang County who were captured by Xiang Liang instantly changed the impression of the people of Chu Di on the Qin Army and even Great Qin and Hu Hai.

What kind of court there is, what kind of soldiers there will be.

In troubled times, the people who suffer the most are often the poor people who have nothing. Although the people of Chen County and Dang County are not Chu people, it does not prevent the people of Chu from sympathizing with them.

Because they all belong to the same category of people. Because they are all weak in this troubled world.

Du Teng took out the military rations of the White Tiger Army and distributed them to the people of Shouchun who lacked food and clothing, but in fact, it was also a helpless move.

Because of Xiang Liang and the Chu court's wanton scraping, the money and grain in the treasury of Shouchun Mansion were almost piled up. ╔╗However, these mansions have no way to use them privately, and if the longevity is down, then everything in the longevity belongs to His Majesty the Emperor and belongs to Daqin.

Whether it is him or Weng Zhong, although they are both the highest officials on the ground in Jiujiang today, they have no right to use these things that belong to the emperor and belong to Great Qin. Unless ordered by the emperor.

Fortunately, the White Tiger Army and the Xuanwu Army carried enough food and grass with the army. After a day or two, the emperor's edict came, and there was a full Shouchun mansion treasury, and all problems were naturally solved.

After everything was over, Du Teng and Weng Zhong jointly sent a message to Hu Hai that Shouchun was pacified, and asked for instructions on the next move.

……

When he received the letter from Du Teng and Xu Chuang, Hu Hai had already left Hanguguan and entered the territory of Sanchuan County.

Xiong Xin and others surrendered the city, which was expected by Hu Hai. People cherish their lives, especially those who are in high positions and enjoy fine clothes and food. The nobles of the Chu State are even more of the best.

It's just that what Hu Hai didn't expect was that the living conditions of the people of Chen County and Dang County, who were taken captive by Xiang Liang to Jiujiang, were already so bad that Du Teng needed to bring military grain to help. ╔╗

For the life and death of these people, whether it is Xiang Liang or the small court of Chu State, they don't care about it at all.

After discussing with Wei Yu, Hu Hai ordered Du Teng to open the Shouchun Mansion Treasury and release grain to the people of Daqin who stretched out of Jiujiang, and at the same time passed the edict that the defenders of Sanchuan County had recruited labor from the nearby conscription to mobilize food and other things to the south, so Hu Hai sent 500 cavalry of the Vermilion Bird Army to Aocang in advance of the starry night, and escorted the escort. As for the treatment enjoyed by conscripted labor, it is still the same as that of conscripted labor from the land of Guanzhong.

And with the first few labor teams from Guanzhong to Aocang to transport grain, the policy of wanting to come to the imperial court has been known to the people from all over the country outside Guanzhong. It should be much simpler to recruit labor from now on.

After all, there were no coins to eat and drink, but there had never been before. What's more, it is now nearly the beginning of October, and the agricultural work has basically ended, and the people are just in a state of idleness.

Since Shou Chun has been pacified, then Shou Chun can be used as a logistics base for the army to continue south to South Vietnam and other places. However, it is clear that it is not enough to rely on Shouchun to store grain. Not to mention that there are hundreds of thousands of troops that need to be supplied, just the hundreds of thousands of people in Chen County and Dang County who are left without land and homes by Xiang Liang will be a big gap, and it is obviously not enough to rely on the little food that Xiang Liang has collected and scraped. ╔╗

Fortunately, except for a few official warehouses in Guanzhong, because a large amount of grain was distributed to various places in front of them, the labor that was released and returned to the hometown was not fully full, and the Chen Liucang, which was completely scraped by Xiang Liang, was empty, and the rest of the official warehouses were basically all full granaries.

The only thing to consider was the imminent harsh winter and the long journey south from Aocang.

In Chen County and Dang County, except for the two counties of Chen County and Suiyang, most of the rest of the county seats, including rural houses, were completely destroyed by Xiang Liang's army. The city walls of the county town have not been destroyed, but the houses in the city have basically been reduced to ruins, and it is obvious that they can no longer be inhabited for the time being.

Compared with the problem of food, in the face of increasingly cold weather, the lack of shelter and warm clothing for hundreds of thousands of people in Chen County and Dang County is undoubtedly more urgent. After all, Shouchun's grain can last for a long time. If there is a sudden heavy snowfall, then these hundreds of thousands of people in Chen County and Dang County, who are about to return to their hometowns, are afraid that their corpses will be frozen all over the field.

If these people cannot be properly settled, Chen County and Dang County, which have just regained peace, are afraid that they will be plagued again. The people who have embarked on a desperate road want to ask for a way to live, but they are afraid that they can only rob or even eat people.

These are all things that Hu Hai does not want to see.

That night, in addition to knowing that Chu Diping, Xiang Liang, Xiong Xin and other thieves had all been captured, the Great Qin Qunchen of Xianyang also received two urgent deadline edicts.

The first edict was to order Feng Quji, Li You, Zhang Cang, Kong Kun and others to immediately send the selected officials out of Xianyang and the starry night to rush to Chen County and Dangjun and others, and ordered Lieutenant Yang Ruihe to select 1,000 lieutenant palace guards to accompany the guards.

The second edict. It's a rare mandatory xing command!

The 100,000 wealthy families in Xianyang and all the nobles of the family and the officials of the court, each family must rush to make ten pieces of warm clothes and send them to Shangfang. Within three days, at least one million pieces of warm clothing must be collected and delivered to the shop. 100,000 laborers in Guanzhong were recruited again, and Shangfang provided vehicles, cattle and horses, and Lieutenant Yang Rui and 10,000 guards were personally escorted to Chen County.

Whether it is the officials who go south to Chenjun and Dangjun, or warm clothes, they must arrive in Chenjun within a month at the latest. If the time limit is exceeded, it will be directly criminalized.

The catastrophe of the Battle of Pingchu and the news that Shouchun Pingding, Xiong Xin, Xiang Liang and other thieves were captured alive made the entire Guanzhong land a sea of joy. In just two days, the remnants of Chu Xiang, who originally thought that it would take great strength to eliminate, were annihilated in this way. As soon as the thieves and chieftains were all captured, the prosperity of the Great Qin soldiers made all the people in China and Qin feel honored.

Immediately after the two edicts, especially the second edict, the emperor showed unprecedented anxiety for the first time, which made the people of Guanzhong feel the severity of the situation in Chu while being excited.

Nearly a million pieces of warm clothing were naturally impossible to prepare for the emperor's army to the south. The major armies were already preparing for the coming harsh winter when they headed south, and Shang Fang Jingzhi was well prepared for warm clothing.

With such an urgent need for warm clothing, the objects used can only be the people of Chu or Daqin. Obviously, the rebellion for the restoration of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, which lasted for several months, led to the displacement of countless people in Chenjun, Dangjun and many other counties.

The harsh winter is coming, and these warm clothes will be the key to the survival of countless Daqin people.

Ten pieces of warm clothing are nothing to many wealthy families and nobles in Xianyang. Even they have hundreds or more warm clothes in their own houses.

Maybe it's for comparison, maybe it's for merit in front of the emperor. The nobles of the old Qin family, led by the Fan family, the Su family, and the Fang family, gathered a full 100,000 pieces of warm clothes that night and delivered them to Shangfang.

The actions of the three families suddenly detonated the entire Xianyang. In less than a day, before the officials in Chenjun and other places in the south had set off, Shangfang Tianren had already received a full 1.5 million pieces of warm clothing, many of which were made of silk and satin.

And the people of Guanzhong Lao Qin are also making a strong contribution, and some people are contributing. One or two pieces of warm clothes converged one after another towards Daqin Shangfang, and at the same time, 100,000 laborers were also recruited in place in just one day.

On the 18th day of September in the first year of Great Qin II, the mighty southbound convoy drove out of Xianyang and came towards the starry night of Chenjun.

At the same time, Jiujiang Zhongli City in the lower reaches of the Huai River, a fateful duel is begining.

The scouts of Feng Zheng and Han Xin's armies discovered Xiang Yu's army that had just crossed the river from Zhongli at the same time! (To be continued.)
