Cultivate independent judgment ability, enhance team leadership ability, and let individual outstanding backbone talents become the pillar of support for Daqin through experience again and again.

This riot in Hanzhong County, combined with natural disasters, directly tested the wisdom and ability of Chen Ping, Li Zheng, Meng Hu and other key officials of the Qin State.

In the past, these officials and generals were accustomed to surrounding Li Yuan, moving forward like a group of stars holding the moon, but this time, in the absence of Li Yuan, in the absence of a core figure in a team, Chen Ping, Meng Hu and a group of Qin State backbone officials had to make their own judgments, learn from each other, tolerate and understand, and at the same time, they also had to select the most suitable personnel to the most suitable positions to be responsible for affairs.

The new Qin State, under the strict and orderly law, needs a mechanism that can support its operation for a long time, rather than relying on a single person, which Li Yuan has been advocating as a modern person, of course, under this mechanism system, the core person is still Li Yuan, until one day, he is unwilling to lead the country or have another younger and stronger person to guide the master.

Chen Ping made a decision on his own this time, which was the first time since Li Yuan led them all the way to the battle, and it was also a step of great significance. Li Yuan is just a person, not an omnipresent god. In the face of the increasingly extensive territory of the Qin State, if he did everything himself, he would one day be exhausted to death.

The Qin army attacked in three directions.

Let's not mention Zhang Ping and Wang Shang, taking Menghu as an example, after receiving the general's order, Menghu suddenly found that there were no more than 1,000 generals under him, and it was obviously far from enough to complete the important task of breaking the Liukou from the Baochuan Road into Hanzhong.

After convening a group of officials from the Tingwei Mansion to discuss, Meng Hu did not greet Chen Ping, Li Zheng and others, that is, he erected a recruitment banner in Chang'an. In "Life is famous, death into the stele forest, men are like that!" Under the call, the sons and daughters of the nobles in Chang'an City, the stunned boys in the half-sized rampant workshop, or the frustrated speculative merchants in the East and West Markets joined in one after another.

At that time, the aura of Great Qin's great victory in the northern expedition to Yandi had not yet dissipated.

The whole Qin State, especially the young boys in Guanzhong who grew up following in the footsteps of Li Yuan's army, they followed their parents or clansmen from Guanzhong to Yongqi when they were more than ten years old, and then returned from Yongqi to Xianyang and Chang'an, and in their young and proud hearts, they had long regarded Li Yuan and the generals under his command as heroes. Now that they have the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of their heroes and kill the enemy all the way, they are naturally willing to do so in their hearts.

Among them, especially those officials and children who were officials in the new Qin Dynasty, their fathers and brothers mentioned the glorious war history of the Qin army in their words on weekdays, which made them even more fascinated, and in the vision of the youth, they had already ignored the number of people who died on the battlefield, and all they saw was the banner of the Qin army flying high.

"Forward, forward. Forward! ”

"Plant the battle flag on the enemy's position!"

The blood was boiling in the chests of the young Qin people, they couldn't wait, and there were even three or five bad boys who didn't even go home, and secretly escaped from home. moved to the military camp set up by Menghu on Leyou Plain, among these young Qin people, perhaps one day in the future, brave generals such as Gan Yong and Li Zhongxiang will also emerge. And they will also be an important pillar of the future of the Qin state.

Meng Hu didn't know what his reckless flag recruitment action would bring to the Qin State? All he knew was. In just 10 days, young people from all over the county had filled the barracks.

Speculative businessmen hope to get their share in the results of the passage with Bashu in the customs clearance;

An ordinary peasant boy, with the nagging of his parents and relatives, and the soles sewn by a bamboo horse and a childhood plum girl overnight, traveled far away in the wind and snow for the first time.

Maybe one day, they will return to the township with all the pain and scars all over their bodies, and become a township pavilion chief and a pavilion captain at the grassroots level of the local government.

Maybe one day, they will fall godless in a war in the distance, and at the moment when their lives are about to rest, their hearts will flash the familiar and unfamiliar scenes of their hometown.

That's life.

That's all there is to men, wonderful and colorful, with a little bit of tragedy. But it is precisely with this pull out of the fearless Qin people that the strength of the Qin State is guaranteed.

In the seventh year of the new calendar of Great Qin, on the second day of the first month.

Menghu's 5,000 new army has been formed, and this young team, like their young generals, is fearlessly stepping on the unknown battlefield, and what awaits them will be a bloody and brutal massacre.

――。

Frustrated.

This river source is also called Ji Shui, which originates from the Meridian Ridge in the deep mountains of the Qinling Mountains, and it is said that it is also the birthplace of the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor family, in the south of the Fushui is Baoshui, the two waterways are only more than ten miles apart, but the Fushui enters the big river, and the Baoshui enters the big river, and the water system injected into each other is also 108,000 miles apart.

The second part of the Qin State was built on the shore of the frustrated water.

After Sima Yin went to Jinyang, it was Peng Sheng, a famous scholar of Peng County who was attached to the Qin State in the area of Shu County, who was known as the son of Peng Zu, who had his own opinions on refining Danfang, and because of his expertise in this area, he was placed in the Fushui Soldier by Chen Ping.

Compared with Lishan and Jinyang, the topography of Fushui is more complex, and there are too many impurities contained in iron ore, including a variety of metal properties, which are obstacles for wrought iron, and for the alchemists who are dedicated to studying the elixir of immortality, it is a new round of exploration.

Since the annexation of Shu County to the Qin State, Peng Sheng has gone through a long process from the initial ecstasy to the slow calming down, and during this time period, he finally clearly realized that the difference between Li Yuan, the Shenwu Marquis of the Qin State, and the First Emperor and any other Qin emperor.

What's the difference?

It's very simple, Li Yuan doesn't believe in any legends of immortality at all, he has 2,000 years of experience of reincarnation, and he is an atheist through and through.

A master craftsman made by frustrated sailors.

This is Peng Sheng's current position, and in order to get this real position, he has paid a considerable price, for example, there are dozens of exquisite craftsmen in Jishu, and Peng Sheng wants to defeat them on Jishu. You have to come up with your own unique skills, compared with the single craftsmen who can only refine and forge bronze and iron, Peng Sheng's harmony on the Danfang is deeper.

Mixing nitrate, charcoal, and sulfur together to make a special object that can explode within a certain range and produce thick smoke is the latest invention that Peng Sheng came up with in meditation.

The epoch-making significance of this invention was not clear to Peng Sheng, in fact, when he first shiyan this kind of Danfang that can explode, he was blown up to the ground, and he almost couldn't even get out of the Danfang.

But. Peng Sheng's embarrassment only stopped at that once.

When the frustrated sailors were besieged by the homeless army, it was Peng Sheng's seemingly inconspicuous invention that made the frustrated sailors persist until the arrival of Menghu's reinforcements.

The frustration originates at the foot of the Meridian Ridge, during which the terrain is extremely steep, and the position of the valley mouth in front of the military construction is a one-man pass, and it is a frame that cannot be opened.

The two women, Lu Pheasant and Ying's, have the innate prudence of a woman in confusing people's hearts and stirring up dissatisfaction, but they are also in specific military command ability. shows their inadequacy.

After occupying Nanzheng, Lü and Ying were overjoyed, that is, they vigorously replenished the displaced people's armed forces and charged with a main force. He began to advance to the eastern part of Hanzhong County, Xicheng and Wuguan, and at the same time, in order to completely block the Baochuan Road and seize the finest iron weapons of the Qin State. With 10,000 displaced people as the vanguard, Lü Pheasant went north along the Baoshui area towards the valley.

A battle has begun over the ownership of the frustrated soldiers.

Peng Sheng's special Danfang played an unexpected role in this battle, and the total number of military craftsmen, craftsmen and apprentices in the Fushui area was only more than a thousand. It was difficult to deal with a force of 10,000 outcasts, who, despite their best weapons, could not handle as many as ten times as many enemies.

"Boom!"

An earthen black powder pill guided by a straw pole ignited and exploded in the ranks of the displaced people, although it only caused more than ten casualties around, but it was enough to make the ignorant Qiang people frightened.

"Skyfire!"

I don't know who it was, and I called out a name that made many homeless people feel terrified.

For the tribesmen living in a primitive state of ignorance, the last thing they can bear is hunger, which is the punishment from God.

The first few rounds of attacks by the exiles were unsurprisingly frustrated in the face of Peng Sheng's unexpected means, however, Lü Pheasant obviously did not admit defeat, and on the one hand, she sent a message to Jiangdong to try to persuade Yingbu to launch an attack on the Nanjun area of the Qin State, so as to win external support for the Hanzhong riot forces, and on the other hand, she still wanted to take down the Fushui Army, so as to provide support for the exile team in terms of weapons and equipment.

Frustrated by the battle.

As the stalemate continues day by day, the displaced people rely on the strength of the population, while the craftsmen who are frustrated rely more on the advantages of jishu.

However, it is a pity that Peng Sheng's new invention jishu is not yet mature, and the instability of black powder causes some times that gunpowder cannot be ignited, or even if it is ignited, it cannot detonate explosives.

After more than ten days of uninterrupted attacks, Peng Sheng and the guards of the Qin army had to retreat to the Zuihou line of defense made by the frustrated soldiers.

Despair spreads among the frustrated artisans.

The plank road in the north is covered with winter snow and ice, the road is rugged and difficult to travel, and whether and when the reinforcements will arrive is like a dream of extravagant hope, making people wait for an extremely uncomfortable dream.

Peng Sheng is a practical person, which can be seen from his judgment of the situation and surrender to the Qin State, when he was in a difficult situation, he really wanted to lay down his arms and surrender, but when he thought of the strength of the Qin State and Li Yuan's bravery, he gritted his teeth again and persevered.

The situation is stronger than people, compared to the powerful Qin State under Li Yuan's rule, the exile army on the opposite side is actually a rabble, I heard that their leader is still a blind old pious woman, if such a team can succeed, Peng Sheng bet to write his surname upside down.

Peng Sheng is insisting.

At this time, he didn't know that Qin Guoting's lieutenant Menghu had already made a difficult march on the Bao Slope.

5,000 Guanzhong disciples.

With the beautiful ideal of Rongli military exploits, with the simple belief of defending the new Qin, step by step in the bitter cold, Meng Hu and his personal troops marched at the front of the team, this time, he is no longer a young general in the border army, a rising star, but as a representative of the Qin State Center sent to pacify Hanzhong, at the same time, it is this unexpected military action that allows Meng Hu to truly take over the burden of Qin's strength.

January 6th.

Lu Pheasant's eldest brother Lu Ze came to Fushui and took over the command of the homeless team, and then the general attack of the homeless team on the soldiers began, and more than a thousand guards made of the Qin State soldiers and craftsmen had all gone into battle, and Peng Sheng also made black powder pills overnight, but these could not repel the fanatical Lu Pheasant team of the homeless people.

Three days of fierce fighting.

Peng Sheng's manpower that could be used for defense was sharply reduced to more than 400 people, not only the loss of the county guards, but even the experienced craftsmen suffered heavy casualties in the riot, and the frustrated sailors reached the most dangerous juncture.
