Lang, in the Great Qin official system, is the alternate official to be elected.

On the one hand, as the emperor's servant, on the other hand, he studied government affairs, which was also an important way for the children of the Great Qin bureaucrats to enter the court or be released as officials.

Langzhong, also known as Zhonglang, is mainly an attendant who accompanies the emperor to drive and deliver the decree.

Let Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty in history, be his attendant in Langzhong, Hu Hai is not only to satisfy his own careful thoughts about abusing Liu Bang, but the main purpose of his arrangement is to put Liu Bang by his side and take care of it nearby.

Although Liu Bang has now delivered it to the door by himself, people haven't rebelled after all. If he is directly rewarded as an official like Xiao He and others, then Liu Bang, who is close to Xiao He and others, will always be a time bomb.

But if Hu Hai completely subdued Xiao He, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and others, Liu Bang alone would no longer be able to make many waves.

When Liu Bang heard that Hu Hai had left him by his side as an attendant, he was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down to thank him. Xiao He and the others also looked at Liu Bang with envy.

After all, everyone knows that staying by the emperor's side as a langzhong, although there is no real power now, whether it is entering the court or being released as an official in the future, the future will be bright.

"That being the case, then it is decided. I will order people to move all your family members to Xianyang. So you don't have to worry about your family. I'm a little tired, let's go down and rest with the six Aiqing, and Ming'er will take up their respective duties. ”

"Wait for the resignation!"

Looking at the six people who retired with excitement on their faces, Hu Hai smiled faintly.

What should be beaten has been beaten, and what should be rewarded has also been rewarded, and it is enough for the army in the big camp to deter Liu Bang and a few people, and then move the families of the six of them to Xianyang as hostages, thinking that it should be able to kill Xiao He and the others.

Of course, if Liu Bang really wants to rebel, then it can only be said that he is self-inflicted and cannot live. Hu Hai will never be soft.

Thinking of the families of Liu Bang and others, Hu Hai couldn't help but think of Liu Bang's wife Lu Pheasant.

This famous drug queen in history is still a sister paper now, of course you have to take a look.

That night, Hu Hai received a military report from Meng Tian with a letter eagle.

Since Meng Tian and Li Xin led the army out of Xianyang on April 17, it has now passed the thirteenth day.

The last time the letter was sent to Hu Hai in Xianyang, the last time the letter was three days ago, and the letter said that Meng Tian's army had arrived in Handan along the Qin Yan Qi Road.

The Qinyan Qichi Road was built on the basis of the original Hewai Ancient Road that connected the Zhou, Han and Wei Kingdoms. After sending out of Guguan, go out of Anyang in the north, pass through Handan, arrive at Jicheng in the north, fold southeast from Jicheng, enter Qidi, go straight to Linzi, and finally arrive at the easternmost coastal fortress Jiaodong County Zhijimo.

Handan, where Meng Tian arrived three days ago, is less than 100 miles away from Julu County and Julu County.

On April 27, after Meng Tian led the 80,000 Jiuyuan army to Handan, the county guards and the people of Handan, who had been worried when they heard the news of the Julu rebellion, were immediately relieved.

The name of Meng Tian's military god is not called in vain.

Politely rejected the request of the Handan County Guard, Meng Tian led an army of 100,000 without making any stop in Handan, and crossed the city and went straight to Julu. Meng Tian's army is also the front, middle and rear armies.

The front and rear armies were both 20,000, and the Chinese army was 40,000.

The former army general was originally Mengwen, a disciple of the Mengshi clan, but Meng Wen was escorted back to Meng's house by Meng Tian to think about it behind closed doors, and now the former army general, who is also the vanguard general, is the captain Zhang Wu, who is the first general to ask for guilt when Hu Hai was in the army.

The Chinese army was personally led by Meng Tian, and the general of the rear army was Wuma Hou Linghu Fan, who was left behind in Taiyuan by Wei State, and Qin destroyed Wei when Linghu Fan surrendered to Qin, and was named Wuma Hou by the First Emperor, and then transferred to Jiuyuan Hou under the command of Meng Tian, in charge of Jiuyuan logistics.

This time, Meng Tian let Linghu Fan lead the rear army to let him coordinate the logistics, because this time Meng Tian's army went out, Hu Hai also did not levy a single citizen, and all the military supplies and baggage were carried by Meng Tian's army himself.

That night, when Zhang Wu, the general of the former army, led his army to march to the north of Handan City, he suddenly received a report from the scouts who were exploring the road in front, and found a large number of soldiers coming straight to Handan from the direction of Julu along the gallop road twenty miles ahead, and the banners were "Zhao" and "Peng".

"Zhao? Peng? Zhang Wu hesitated for a moment, and then ordered his personal guard to fly to report Meng Tian who was still in the Chinese army brigade in the rear ten miles. After the guards Pegasus went to report to Meng Tian, Zhang Wu ordered the 20,000 troops to set up a formation on the spot and wait solemnly.

Of Zhang Wu's 20,000 troops, there were only 5,000 foot soldiers, and the rest were all cavalry. This is also related to the enemies that Jiuyuan has to face. As long as the opponent of the Jiuyuan army is the Huns, the proportion of cavalry in Jiuyuan is very large, almost five or five of the foot soldiers.

The 100,000 troops who entered the customs this time were 50,000 infantry and 50,000 cavalry, and the 20,000 rear troops who were responsible for the baggage were all infantry, so as the vanguard, Zhang Wu's 20,000 army, Meng Tian only arranged 5,000 foot soldiers and 15,000 cavalry for him.

Zhang Wu placed the 5,000 cavalry on the avenue in the middle, and on the wilderness on both sides of the avenue were the 5,000 Jiuyuan cavalry, and the last remaining 5,000 cavalry were placed behind the 5,000 infantry as a general reserve.

If it was daytime, Zhang Wu would definitely choose to use his brigade of cavalry to quickly raid the "Zhao Peng" army that suddenly came and was obviously an enemy and not a friend, but now that it was dark, it was not conducive to a cavalry raid.

At the same time, Zhang Wu didn't think that there were scouts in his forward army, and the "Zhao Peng" army that was rushing would have no scouts.

In the dark night, if the enemy's scouts also found their 20,000 troops, then they ordered the cavalry to raid and send them to death.

Zhang Wu's caution was quite right, the army that had arrived from the direction of Julu had also discovered the Qin army twenty miles away when the Qin scouts discovered them. The army in the direction of Julu was the army sent by Li Zuoche to the south to capture Handan.

On April 8, Li Zuoche raised an army from Nanpi (near present-day Cangzhou, Hebei) against Qin.

Nanpi is in the southeast of Julu County, and Julu County is in the southwest of Julu County, which is equal to one in the head and one in the tail. Therefore, it took Li Zuoche a full 15 days to fight from Nanpi to Julu (southwest of present-day Pingxiang, Hebei), and then captured Julu on April 24.

Under Julu, Li Zuoche immediately pushed the dead Zhao nobles he had found earlier to the throne of King Zhao, took Julu County as the national capital, and officially restored the Zhao State on April 25 of the first year of Daqin II. After the restoration of the Zhao State, the king of Zhao Xie named Li Zuoche as the prime minister and the general.

That's why this army coming from the direction of Julu will carry the "Zhao" flag.

As for the "Peng" character flag, it refers to Peng Yue, who was newly attached to Li Zuoche and was named a pillar by Zhao Wang Xie. This time he went south to capture Handan, and Li Zuoche personally sat in Julu, consolidated the rear, and trained the army, so he sent Peng Nannan to Handan.

Peng Yue, a native of Julu County, has been leading a group of people to fish for a living in the lakes on the outskirts of Julu County, and of course he also makes part-time guest appearances as robbers. Originally, the Qin Dynasty collapsed in history, and after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Peng Yue was named King of Liang after attaching himself to Liu Bang.

In the end, Peng Yue was chopped into meat sauce by Lu Pheasant and distributed to the princes of the world, and the whole clan was punished.

Of course, now that Liu Bang is Hu Hai's attendant Langzhong, it is naturally impossible to be his founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty again, and Lu Pheasant cannot become the queen, so it is unknown which road Peng Yue will take.

When Li Zuoche hit Cuo County, Peng Yue's thieves persuaded him to raise troops to respond, and turned against Qin to seek wealth and nobility. At that time, Peng Yue did not agree, and it was not until Li Zuoche hit Julu that Peng Yue came to take refuge with hundreds of thieves.

Peng Yue's thieves were all natives of Julu County, so they quickly got in touch with their accomplices in Julu County, so they easily broke through the Julu with strong walls.

It was with this merit that Peng Yue was named a pillar by Zhao Wangxie.

This time he went south to Handan, Li Zuoche was originally going to personally lead the troops, but Julu Xinxia, Zhao Guogang was established, and the remnants of Zhao who were originally scattered everywhere came to take refuge, and everyone wanted to get a high position in the newly established Zhao State.

had to send Peng Yue to lead 50,000 elite soldiers south to Handan. In Li Zuoche's view, now Daqin is only a strong outsider, and he is already too busy to take care of himself. Although he thinks that Peng Yue is not a person who is very good at using soldiers, it is enough to take down Handan, which is empty in defense.

The messenger of the forbidden army who sent a letter to Guguan to Shandong and other counties to deliver Hu Hai's three edicts had already arrived in Julu, and Li Zuoche did know Hu Hai's three edicts, but he only thought that this was a delaying tactic of the Great Qin court, and it showed that Daqin's external strength and middle cadres did not take it to heart at all.

The reason why Li Zuoche hurriedly dispatched Peng Yue to Handan before his foothold was actually the most important reason for expanding the strategic depth of the new Zhao State.

After all, Handan and Julu are close at hand, so they are too insecure. If Handan goes down, you can take advantage of the situation to go south to Hanoi along the Qinyan Qichi Road and go straight to Sanchuan, which is where the largest official warehouse in Daqin is located.

At the same time as sending Peng to go down to Handan, Li Zuoche sent another of his henchmen Li Bi to lead 50,000 elite soldiers in armor, and went straight to Linzi along Qin Yanqi's galloping road. Linzi also has a Great Qin official warehouse.

The reason why Li Zuoche raised troops in Nanpi and did not go south directly to Linzi was because there were too few soldiers, and most of them were not fully armored, but Julu was a dangerous place for soldiers to fight, and as Julu County, there was not only a large amount of grain and grass, but also weapons and armor and other weapons that the army urgently needed.

The second is because Linzi is too far away from Julu, and the weak army is going on an expedition, as Li Mu's grandson, Li Zuoche will not do it.

Peng Yue, who led the army to fight for the first time, although he was not very good at using troops, Li Zuoche sent him a few officials from the shogunate to follow Peng Yue south to Handan.

And Peng Yue also knew his shortcomings, so he went all the way south, and everything such as the route of the march, grain and grass, camping, etc., was handed over to these shogunate officials sent by Li Zuoche, but he himself became the shopkeeper.

The first thing Peng Yue did when he received the news of the scouts was to invite these shogunate officials to ask how to deal with them.
