It has been twelve days since entering Hanhai, and at the same time as the water is scarce, the food is also beginning to be scarce. In order to lighten the load, the team only brought more than ten days of rations, and Tian Shi originally estimated that ten days would be enough to get out of the desert, but in fact there were some deviations. As a last resort, Han Xin had to order the food to be collected and distributed in rations.

Thirst and hunger tormented every Qin soldier, and despair began to envelop the entire ranks, barely sustained by strict military discipline. Dissatisfaction began to spread, and the news that this desperate expedition was caused by Han Shin's efforts spread, and the soldiers turned their heads and ears as they sat down to rest, and their eyes were full of distrust as they looked at Han Shin.

Han Xin naturally knew this, he was just a Quhou background, and he was only temporarily appointed as a military marquis. And the main general of this Qin army is not him, but Wang Jing. Whether in terms of seniority or the legitimacy of his position, Han Xin could not convince the soldiers.

The fifth battalion of the right army is okay, Xi Da has always taken good care of Han Xin, and before leaving, he repeatedly told his subordinates to cooperate more. Qi Jiang, Fan Yong, and Wu Xie have all gotten along very well with Han Xin in the past three months, and although they have complained about his rapid ascension, they still support him. Luan Ji has always been silent, but he has scrupulously abided by his duties along the way, and he has not refused some of Han Xin's proposals, with him, even if the soldiers of the second battalion of the Chinese army are dissatisfied, they can be suppressed.

The problem lies with Wang Jing's third battalion of the Right Army.

Wang Jing is a young man, born in a general, and has a good martial arts, so he is naturally high-flying and domineering, and has a flamboyant personality. The Lord will be like this, and the subordinates brought out can also be imagined. The three battalions even went out sideways, causing a big incident, and Wang Jing, the main helper who protected the short, was also carried.

When he first entered Hanhai, Wang Jing fell ill, so the third battalion also lost its backbone, and the acting army Hou Dingfeng and Qiu Shi and others received Wang Jing's orders, so they listened to Han Xin's command with low eyebrows and no trouble. But the more they went on, first there was a shortage of water, and then they were about to run out of food, and the hearts of the soldiers fluctuated, and Ding Feng and others were dissatisfied with Han Xin more and more.

In the early morning of this day, Ding Feng had just woken up, when he heard a cry outside the tent, he walked out in a frustrated manner, and when he saw a group of people surrounding, he stepped forward and yelled; "What a quarrel, what happened."

After asking clearly, I found out that it was one of the hundred generals in his song who died last night. The Qin army carried very little baggage, and only officers of Ding Feng's level could have a small tent when they slept, and the other soldiers all snuggled up to each other and fell asleep in the field. This hundred general Ding Feng is also familiar, he is a person with a very good temper, he is usually very sympathetic to his subordinates, and he has always been very popular with the soldiers.

Yesterday, the hundred generals were sick, and Ding Feng didn't take it to heart, but unexpectedly, after a night, he died, and several of his subordinates cried.

Ding Feng looked straight at the corpses of the hundred generals, and didn't know what to say, so he let them cry. There were more and more onlookers, and almost the entire third battalion came over, and the crowd was boiling, and the scene gradually got out of control.

At this time, a weeping soldier on the ground wiped away his tears, stood up and yelled at Ding Feng; "My lord, in the past fifteen days, more than 400 brothers have died in our three battalions. If I die on the battlefield under the sword of the Huns, my scar will have no complaints, but let me die in such a ghost place, I will not accept it. ”

The soldiers clamored and shouted; "We don't accept it, we don't accept it."

Ding Feng was scolded by everyone, and his heart suddenly became angry, and he roared angrily; "You think Lao Tzu wants to come to this ghost place, whoever wants to come is a grandson. Okay, we're not leaving, we're going back and getting out of this hellish place. ”

Han Shin made his rounds of the camp late last night, and now he has just gotten up. The three battalions were stationed in separate locations, separated by more than 200 zhang from each other. Hearing the boiling voices of the camp of the third battalion from a distance, Han Xin faintly felt that something was wrong, and just saw Qi Jiang and Tian Shi and others coming in a hurry, so he hurriedly asked; "What's wrong?"

Qi Jiang's face was very ugly, and he said anxiously; "Han Xin, the big thing is not good, the third battalion has bombed the camp, and the soldiers are clamoring to go back."

Han Xin chuckled and hurriedly asked, "What about Wang Jing?" ”

"I don't know, I didn't see him, he's been very sick these days, maybe he's still in the tent."

"Who's leading the way?"

Wu Xie gritted his teeth; "Who else can there be, isn't it Ding Feng and Qiu Shi and a few of them, they have long said that these guys are not good birds, and they specialize in causing trouble."

After hearing this, Han Xin's hanging heart widened a little.

This shows at least two pieces of information, one is that Wang Jing did not directly participate, he is the chief general in the army, if he directly calls for opposition to Han Xin, then Han Xin will not have a chance. Another is that although the third battalion has bombed the camp, it has not yet reached the point of collapse, at least Ding Feng and others are in charge, so it is not the worst situation.

When the sinking groan, he will immediately break the road; "Tian City, assemble the second song."

"Yes." Tian Shi replied loudly, turned around and left quickly. Erqu is the team brought out by Han Xin, and it is also the only army that Han Xin can fully mobilize, so Han Xin asked Tian Shi to assemble it in case of emergency.

Qi Jiang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Han Xin with a somewhat complicated look. "Do you want the soldiers to kill each other?"

Han Xin shook his head and said; "I'm not so impulsive, once the blood is shed at this time, the situation will be even more uncontrollable, I'm just worried that if the camp is really bombed, there is a formed army there, and I can take away as many soldiers as possible."

looked at Qi Jiangdao again; "Qi Sima, please go and inform Luan Junhou as soon as possible, let him control his subordinates, and don't have any more accidents."

"Okay."

When Han Xin stepped into the camp of the third battalion, as soon as thousands of chaotic soldiers saw him coming, they rushed over and surrounded Han Xin and the others in the middle, and some of the chaotic soldiers even took out their war knives and pointed directly at Han Xin.

Han Xin was not afraid at all, looked around angrily, and finally landed on the current Ding Feng's face, and said sharply; "Ding Feng, you are acting as a military marquis, but you instigated your subordinates to make chaos and besiege Shangguan, do you want to rebel?"

Qiu Shi on the side said with disdain on his face; "Han Xin, don't pretend to be a big head here, you are just a little Qu Hou, and I don't know what kind of rhetoric you used to deceive the marshal, and you became a Rausch military marquis, what to pretend to be."

Han Xin's face does not change color; "I am a deputy general in the army, and when Wang Junhou is not a director, I will be in command, do you have any objections?"

Qiu Shi was speechless for a moment, and Ding Feng interjected with a gloomy face at this time; "Han Xin, you still have the face to say this, let me ask you, did you instigate the handsome man to let our more than 10,000 brothers come to this kind of ghost place to die. ：

Han Xin didn't deny it, and nodded in response; "Yes, I proposed it to the marshal." When the soldier saw Han Xin admit it in person, he suddenly became agitated, and saw Han Xin say slowly and loudly; "But Ding Quhou, I want to remind you that I was ordered by the commander to cross the Hanhai Sea to attack the royal court of the Huns, not to send you to death."

"Fart." Qiu Shi roared angrily, and the blade pointed directly at Han Xin, "Look at what the hell this place is, it's only been a few days, how many brothers have we died." Lao Tzu will not listen to your nonsense anymore, brothers, if you want to live with me, we will kill back in the army. ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, Ding Feng hesitated, and also strode forward. Qiu Shi's agitation, sure enough, many soldiers stood on his side, and most of the three battalions of Hulala followed Ding Feng and Qiu Shi.

Han Xin's face hesitated, clenched his teeth, but he did not order Tian Shi to lead the troops to intercept it.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion not far away, and the soldiers and soldiers gave way one after another, and Wang Jing, who had not appeared for a long time, rode a horse and walked over slowly, and the originally restless army suddenly quieted down.

Since his illness, Wang Jing has been resting in the carriage during the day and in the tent at night. He was suffering from dysentery on the grassland, which was tortured for a few days, and his originally strong body looked much thinner, and his face was very pale, how could he still have the radiant appearance he had at the beginning.

His face was gloomy, and his gaze slowly swept over everyone's faces. When they passed by Ding Feng and Qiu Shi's faces, they all lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look up at each other.

Wang Jing said slowly; "Huang Sima."

"The subordinates are here." A man in his thirties replied, he was Sima Huangji, the marching commander of the third battalion, and it was he who rushed to call Wang Jing who was sleeping.

"According to the law of my Great Qin Army, what crime should my subordinates commit and besiege the main general."

Huang Ji hesitated slightly, but said honestly; "Obey the law."

Ding Feng and Qiu Shi's faces changed greatly, and only then did they know the consequences, and hurriedly knelt down.

Wang Jing looked at the two of them and said for a long time: "Now when employing people, the heads of the two of you will be stored for the time being, and if you commit another offense, you will be dealt with together." Huang Sima dragged the two of them down, with a staff of fifty. ”

Huang Ji had no choice but to secretly say that he was offended, and then with a wave of his hand, several soldiers stepped forward and pressed the two of them, and the thunderbolt started fighting. The two didn't dare to contradict, just lowered their heads and bit their lips to resist.

Wang Jing looked at Han Xin again and said; "Han Junhou, do you think it's appropriate to deal with it like this?"

Han Xin nodded and said, "The Major General's handling is reasonable. Han Shin has no objection. ”

Wang Jing looked at the rest of the people again and raised his voice; "This expedition was initiated by my father, Wang Li, and decided after deliberation among the high-level of our northern army, with the purpose of striking at the empty rear of the Huns. If anyone dares to question it again, they should be beheaded according to the law. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Jing coughed a few more times, his face was red, his body was still very weak, and he felt a little tired after talking so much.

Han Xin was moved, and said loudly; "I know that you all have a lot of doubts about this expedition, and it is true, as you said, that I proposed to the commander that I put your position in danger. But once we crossed the desert, we were faced with the extremely empty rear of the Huns, where there were their royal courts, their treasures, and their women, all waiting for the warriors of our Great Qin to go and harvest. ”

"I can't guarantee that each of you will make it back alive, but I can guarantee it. Those who go back alive can return to their hometowns in fine clothes, and their military exploits are in their bodies. You are no longer lowly pawns, but have titles and military positions. My Great Qin's final military exploits, your parents and wives will also be overshadowed by your military exploits. ”

Han Xinhuo drew his sword and said loudly; "If we retreat, the sand waves in the sea will eventually swallow us when we lack supplies; Forward, fame and wealth await us. If this expedition fails, I, Han Xin, will kill myself in front of you, we are originally humble as a mustard leader, and we are just a small pawn in the army, since we have a cheap life, why not fight for wealth and prosperity. ”

At this time, Tian Shi had already arrived with his subordinates, and when he saw that Han Xin had already controlled the situation, and was about to say this, he immediately raised his arms and shouted; "Swear to follow and fight for wealth." More than a thousand soldiers behind him also shouted in unison, and gradually, the soldiers in the third battalion were also infected, and Han Xin's words had successfully instigated their inner thirst for wealth, and they also waved their arms and shouted.

After setting up the team and starting the road again, Han Xin hesitated for a while, but rode his horse to Wang Li's carriage. This pony carriage was very simple, and it was temporarily built with wooden planks to take care of Wang Li.

When the coachman saw Han Xin coming, he stopped the reins, and Han Xin reached out and knocked on the door, and the wooden board opened, revealing Wang Jing's pale cheeks.

"The major general is fine."

"Well, it's been a lot better these days, and it should be back in a few days."

Han Xin nodded, "That's fine." ”

"Thank you so much for today's events."

Wang Jing looked up at Han Xin, "Don't thank me, I'm just thinking about my own life." The matter has come to this point, if the team is still split, then it must be that everyone is done together, and they will all die in this foreign land. If I follow Ding Feng and them, it won't be long before I become a dried corpse in the Hanhai. It's better to believe in you all the time, it's more likely to live with you, I, Wang Jing, have always cherished my life. ”

Han Xin looked at Wang Jing with some surprise, as if he had known him on the first day.

Han Xin had always thought that Wang Jing was just a child of a family with great ambitions and talents, but today he found out that he was worthy of being the first general of Great Qin, but he was extraordinary.

Wang Jing said lightly; "I believe in my father's vision, although he may not be a peerless general, but he can see that people's skills are still there, he asked me to obey you all, even if I am not convinced, I will do what he says."

"So Han Shin." Wang Jing stared at Han Xin tightly and said; "Don't let me live up to my father's trust in you."

Han Xin Zhengsedao; "Major General, please rest assured, I will do my best."

Just when the team was about to collapse, Tian Shi found the lake in front of him, and the eight hundred miles of Hanhai had come to an end. The ecstatic news spread throughout the entire army in an instant, and everyone desperately mustered all their strength to ride forward.

As soon as they saw the rippling lake, the Qin soldiers were like enchanted, dismounted and galloped forward, leaned down to drink water, and then jumped into the lake one after another, splashing water with each other and laughing loudly, as if they were the rest of their lives.

Han Xin saw that the soldiers were extremely tired and weak, and if they encountered the Hun army at this time, they could definitely easily annihilate the Qin army. Ben immediately made a decision and decided to cultivate Mita by the lake, and he had enough physical strength to fight again.

In Hanhai, the inexperienced Qin army left nearly 2,000 corpses, and the loss of horses was also very serious. In order to cross the Hanhai, the Qin army almost discarded all the equipment and baggage, and some soldiers even lost their weapons empty-handed. It was this army called Huazi, when they appeared in Mobei, the glory created by Daqin's last and farthest expedition against the Xiongnu was opened by them.
