Chapter Seventy-Six: Jiangdong Rebellion (2)
The strongest forts are often breached from within.
Although Xiang Liang didn't know this sentence now, his thoughts at this time were exactly like this.
Xiang Liang didn't know what the reason was for the sudden invitation of the county guard, but it gave him another brilliant idea. This is also the reason why the officials of Daqin, who were among the county guards, invited him to go back later.
Xiang Liang was waiting for Xiang Yu to come back.
Speaking of Xiang Yu, it is impossible not to say that he is a natural military wizard, but he is only a commander of the army.
Since Xiang Yu was a teenager, he has shown a distinctive trait: he hates reading and is cool about military affairs. But Xiang Yu hated reading, and it was not an ordinary refusal at all, but a quick stop after a shallow taste.
As a descendant of the Xiang family, how can he not read and write? Xiang Liang urged him to read and write, Xiang Yu said: "To learn books, as long as you can remember your name, it's useless to learn again." ”
Xiang Liang urged him to learn the sword, but Xiang Yu said: "The sword weapon is an enemy, and it has no strength, so I don't learn." Xiang Liang asked with a calm face: "What kind of skills do you want to learn, kid?" Xiang Yu said: "My nephew wants to learn from ten thousand enemies!" ”
Xiang Liangda was surprised and began to teach Xiang Yu to practice all kinds of martial arts in the art of war classics. Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu still tried to stop at the beginning, and after reading a few books, he threw them away, leaving a sentence behind: "The art of war is tricky, defeating the enemy without martial arts, how can it be like a long soldier halberd!" ”
Xiang Liang understood at this time, such a person with a surname could not learn any knowledge, and he was destined to be a strong general. But fortunately, Xiang Liang thinks that he is still a little strategic, wouldn't it be good to have Xiang Yu's bravery?
In desperation, Xiang Liang, who was familiar with weapons, secretly found a magical ironworker, and with Xiang Yu's strength, he created a weapon that was extremely rare at that time, and his surname was "Ten Thousand Enemies".
Xiang Yu's weapons are not clearly recorded in the "Historical Records". This "10,000 enemies" said, but there is a clear logic, Xiang Yu must be holding a long weapon, and like Xiang Yu, a majestic figure who "pulls out the mountains and covers the world", how can ordinary long weapons make him satisfied?
In the pre-Qin period, only the golden age of chariots in the Spring and Autumn Period was used, and chariot soldiers were usually two weapons: a long ge, a bow and arrows. In the Warring States Period, especially at the end of the Warring States Period, with the gradual decline of chariots, cavalry was in the ascendant, and knights almost always used short weapons, that is, various sword weapons.
But even the cavalry generals did not use long weapons at that time. The fundamental reason is that in the pre-Qin era, the saddle and horse pedals of these two kinds of cavalry had not yet appeared, and they could not use their strength with long weapons, so how to fight with the enemy?
Therefore, the spears of more than two zhang are only used in infantry battles, and it is impossible for knights to use them.
In other words, Xiang Yu, as a cavalry general, fought with unusually long weapons, which can be said to be unique in the late Qin era. Since then, the long weapons used by cavalry generals in history have emerged, which should all be modeled after Xiang Yu.
The weapon that Xiang Liang created for Xiang Yu was a conjoined fine iron spear about two zhang long, the spearhead was about one foot wide and about three feet long, and the tip was as sharp as an arrowhead, which was similar to the popular red tassel spear in later generations, but it was much larger than the gun, like an extra-large shovel, but it was much sharper than the shovel;
The body of the spear is not the wooden pole of the heavy armor infantry spear of the Warring States period, but a fine iron of the thickness of an arm cast into one with the spear head; The tail of the spear is also a short spear, about a foot long, which resembles a shortsword of alien shapes.
This rare weapon, measured by the Great Qin system, is roughly about 200 catties, and ordinary people don't say dancing, and it is difficult to walk when you carry it. Only Xiang Yu was greatly surprised when he saw this weapon, and while dancing the Divine Iron Spear to the wind, he roared vigorously: "Divine Soldier Divine Soldier!" It's really ten thousand enemies! ”
Perhaps it is with such a divine weapon that Xiang Yu can become the invincible overlord praised by later generations, but it is a pity that this weapon eventually disappeared in the long river of history, and future generations cannot see it, which can not but be said to be a pity.
The island where Xiang Yu trained his troops was in the rivers and lakes of Wuzhong, Jiangdong, not too far from Xiang's mansion. After receiving the news of Xiang Liang's call, Xiang Yu hurriedly stepped on the horse alone and galloped back.
But it took almost an hour to come and go.
Xiang Liang, who was anxiously waiting for Xiang Yu, saw Xiang Yu and left without waiting for him to take a breath. The uncle and nephew were also very enjoyable, Xiang Liang didn't say anything about Xiang Yu and didn't ask, he stepped on the war horse and followed behind Xiang Liang's car.
Along the way, Xiang Liang informed Xiang Yu of the news he received and his plans one by one, and planned all kinds of possible changes to deal with. After a while, they arrived at the county guard's house.
Xiang Liang is the county guard's guest, so the county guard's servants basically know each other. At this moment, waiting at the gate of the county guard mansion was the old man (housekeeper) of the county guard, and when he saw Xiang Liang, he hurriedly bowed and said, "I have seen Xiang Gong, the lord is waiting in the mansion." Xiang Gong, please! ”
"It's hard work!" Xiang Liang smiled and saluted the old man, and said that he was about to raise his feet to enter the door, but Xiang Yu, who was following behind Xiang Liang, hurriedly followed.
The old man of the county guard family saw that Xiang Yu was ** feet tall, although his face was handsome, but Kong Wu had a killing aura, and he was worried that it would be unfavorable to the county guard, so he hurriedly stopped him and said: "This strong man is slow." The Lord only saw Xiang Gong alone, please wait in the wing. ”
As soon as Xiang Yu heard the words of the old man, his face suddenly darkened, and his eyes widened and he was ready to scold.
Seeing that Xiang Yu was about to get angry, Xiang Liang gently pulled Xiang Yu with his hand, and said with a slight smile: "This is the son of the old man, the old man can let him wait under the porch." Liang can go in alone. ”
When the elder heard Xiang Liang's words, he looked at Xiang Yu with a murderous face, and he didn't dare to refute and hurriedly thanked him. Xiang Liang saw that the old man no longer insisted, took off the sword on his body and handed it to Xiang Yu, who was bare-handed, and followed the old man into the hall.
Xiang Yu waited under the corridor outside the hall.
The old man of the county guard took Xiang Liang through the hall and directly entered the county guard's study, where the county guard had been waiting for a long time.
Xiang Liang and Huiji County Shou met the courtesy, and the guests and hosts sat down, and Huiji County Shou couldn't wait to say the reason for inviting Xiang Liang.
It turned out that after Wu Rui married his daughter on April 16 of the first year of the second year and raised troops, the barbarians in the land of Baiyue heard that "Fanjun" had raised troops against Qin, and they came to vote one after another, and Wu Rui had gathered more than 100,000 barbarians in less than two days.
In the pre-Qin period, Zhejiang and Guangdong were not as economically developed as in later generations, and the land of Baiyue at that time was full of miasma, poisonous insects were rampant, and the weather was hot and humid.
For the Chinese people, who have been living in the dry and cool climate of the fertile soil of the Central Plains, this is a typical poor mountain and bad water. Even in the Tang Dynasty, the land of Baiyue had been completely integrated into China and had been greatly developed, but Lingnan and other places have always been considered wild places.
Therefore, in later history, when the imperial court punished officials and criminals who committed crimes, there was often a clause of "exile to Lingnan", which shows the contempt of the Chinese people living in the Central Plains since ancient times for the land of Baiyue.
Since ancient times, the Baiyue barbarians, who have lived in the poor mountains and bad waters of Baiyue, have been fighting with the sky, the earth, and poisonous insects for a long time, and they are born to be natural warriors. Therefore, Wu Rui, who had gathered more than 100,000 barbarian troops, quickly launched an invasion of all parts of Jiujiang, and led the Yingbu army to the south, and the troops were directly aimed at the counties adjacent to Jiujiang, Hengshan and other counties.
