Regarding Yingxi's "help" just now, the two can be said to be a little looking forward to and uneasy.
What is expected is that the identity of the two of them and Zhang Jiashi is a husband and wife relationship recognized by Daqin's law. Such a thing can be said to be a matter of course.
What is uneasy is that Yingxi and Ying Lian felt a little difficult to accept on their wedding day and some things afterward.
Especially Sima Ya, who has a similar temperament to Yingxi, doesn't seem to be very receptive to such things.
This is also a matter of no choice, after all, Zhang Jiashi directly had a round room with the two princesses that time.
And what Yingxi said was obviously to let her serve Zhang Jiashi with Wang Yan.
"Ah......h
And Wang Yan on her side secretly looked at Zhang Jiashi.
In her heart, her ideal husband is not necessarily a famous general comparable to her grandfather Wang Qian, but it is best to be a well-known upstart in the army.
She knew it was a bit difficult for her to think like this. Because soldiers with a certain reputation will be too young.
She also has a good relationship with Ying Lian, after all, among the daughters of high-ranking officials in Xianyang, there are not too many people who like to dance knives and guns.
Therefore, she is about the same age as Ying Lian, who has similar hobbies and hobbies, and it can be said that she became a friend at first sight and became a handkerchief friend.
Compared with Yingxi's subtlety, Ying Lian, a girl with a bit of a big temperament, can be said to not even mind saying some embarrassing words.
After Wang Yan heard Ying Lian complaining that Zhang Jiashi actually broke in, it can be said that he even covered his mouth in surprise and looked at the other party in disbelief.
She didn't expect that this husband, who seemed a little gentle and gentle, would actually do such a thing.
In fact, if Wang Yan knew that Ying Zheng directly squirted out the tea in his mouth after knowing the news, he would not think that his actions were too reckless.
After Zhang Jiashi and Su Jiaojian met in Daijun, they brought her a letter from her eldest brother Wang Li.
That is, Wang Li hopes that she can be in the Zhang family, become a little more subtle, and not be like at home, everything is unscrupulous.
Wang Li's words, Wang Yan naturally knew what it meant. Now it's not as good as before, as one of Zhang Jia's concubines, Wang Yan, if you don't want to do some things.
But she didn't expect that Zhang Jiashi would make her feel so incredible in this regard.
Of course, there are some things, even if Ying Lian's character is so big, she herself knows very well that she shouldn't say it all.
As a result, the curious Wang Yan turned into a mutual frolic between Ying Lian and her after repeated questioning.
......
In Zhang Jiashi's imagination, he had to find Sima Ya and Wang Yan by himself at night, and maybe even broke into the door again.
Therefore, in his bedroom, Zhang Jiashi watched the maids finish fetching water, and said to them, "You go down first." ā
"Yes, Master. The maids left Zhang Jiashi's bedroom gently.
Zhang Jiashi doesn't like others to serve and bathe, and such a thing is an unwritten convention for them as maids.
Zhang Jiashi, who was immersed in the water, looked at the slowly rising water vapor, and he silently thought about things.
"How should we face the attack of the Donghu people?"
Zhang Jiashi muttered this sentence.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Unlike Zhang Jiashi, who ordered Su Teng to rely on the manual, train scouts, and let the knight commanders of each unit train their own knight troops alone, Zhang Jiashi's training of infantry was mainly in the city defense drills of the Great Wall and Dingxiang City.
A large number of bed crossbows and various equipment for defending the city were constantly arranged on the walls of the city in two places.
Bed crossbows, gold water, boiling oil, wolf's tooth beats, and many new and old but useful defensive equipment were placed at the head of the city.
Of course, there are also two more easily obtainable weapons to defend the city, stone and sandalwood.
In fact, if it weren't for the lack of time and manpower, Zhang Jiashi would not have thought about building a very practical urn city at the location of the Great Wall gate.
What is Urn City?
Although it can be considered a kind of castle within a city, from a purely military point of view, the purpose of the urn castle is that it is a fixed fortification that can prevent enemy troops from easily breaking into the city.
However, Bai Qi is not too supportive of such a design.
Because in his eyes, it doesn't make much sense for the Great Wall to set up an urn city, because the Great Wall is lost, and the most important thing is that the enemy has captured a section or more of the city wall.
It's like the kind of offensive that directly breaks the door, and the effect of building an urn city at the gate of the Great Wall is not too big.
Of course, this is not to say that the urn city of the Great Wall is ineffective, but can effectively delay the enemy from taking the city gates.
In Bai Qi's eyes, the city gate of the Great Wall, the urn city, has a relatively small effect, and it is completely meaningless and cost-effective.
If the Great Wall at both ends of the urn city is seized, the role of the urn city will be as if it is a fictitious thing.
The most important point, that is, as Zhang Jiashi worried, there is not enough manpower and time, and the construction of such a thing as the urn city may not be completed, and the Donghu people will launch a large-scale attack. Such a thing can be said to be quite more than worth the loss.
Compared with something like Wengcheng, which has not had much effect now, Zhang Jiashi is more worried about one thing.
......
The cavalry under Zhang Jiashi's command basically suffered casualties, which means that if the Donghu people broke through other sections, Zhang Jiashi was likely to lose one or the other.
Liaodong is no better than other regions. Basically, if the Great Wall of Liaodong in one area was captured, then the Donghu people would be able to move south from the breach fairly easily.
Such a thing can lead to quite serious consequences.
Because of the endless stream of Donghu people, they can come and go in Liaodong County like the wind.
Similarly, in order to cope with such a situation, the number of knights in Liaodong County will be so large.
However, compared to such a thing, the cavalry army that attacked Donghu and carried out the battle to break the diplomatic relationship was almost completely annihilated, and it was also announced that once the main direction of attack of the Donghu people was not Dingxiang and its north, Zhang Jiashi's situation would become extremely passive.
If the Donghu people wreak havoc in Liaodong County, Zhang Jiashi, the left general, should also come to an end.
How to improve this situation and make effective ways to deal with it is a problem that Zhang Jiashi also has to think about.
"Use combat vehicles as convoys to form a high-speed movement of troops?"
Zhang Jiashi shook his head, because he was not a rookie who had just commanded the troops
The combat embodiment of Daqin's army lies in a relatively complete military formation.
Relying solely on the troops transported by tanks, not to mention the combat effectiveness, there will not be too many people.
The chariots of the Qin army were not transport vehicles of later generations, and even if they were full of people, they were only about a dozen people.
In this case, since the vehicle cannot run fast, its own combat capability is basically scrapped. Such a thing of putting the cart before the horse, not to mention Zhang Jiashi, it is estimated that even Zhou Bo, the logistics and transportation captain who is now in charge of vehicles, can't stand it at all.
The most important thing is that no matter how many people are transported, it is difficult to build a whole army formation that can delay the cavalry.
If he was watched by the Donghu people, Zhang Jiashi would never be able to accept such a thing.
"What should I do?"
Zhang Jiashi stretched his waist.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
At this time, Zhang Jiashi felt that two people had come in.
He frowned: "Go out, I don't need someone to serve the bath." ā
But the people who came did not go out, but continued to walk in.
Zhang Jiashi frowned, what he saw was Sima Ya and Wang Yan, wearing a thin robe, and came to him.
He almost didn't jump up and curse.
Compared to this, he suddenly thought of an interesting place, that is, this kind of thing is not something that two concubines who are not familiar with him can do by themselves.
He remembered Yingxi's words and the expression on his face afterward.
"Woman. Zhang Jiashi shook his head helplessly.
"Husband, do you want Ya'er and Yan'er to wait for a bath?"
Zhang Jiashi looked at the shy Sima Ya's blushing expression when he said this, and couldn't help but be slightly happy.
He looked at the other slowly and nodded, "Okay." ā
......
Looking at Zhang Jiashi's chest, the two were surprised that Zhang Jiashi's body had no scars, but they also knew it, because Zhang Jiashi was not promoted by killing.
Therefore, Zhang Jiashi's body does not have too many scars, which does not mean that Zhang Jiashi is not a passing soldier.
Compared with such things, they found that they seemed to hope that Zhang Jiashi could stay by their side safely. Such an idea shows that they have accepted their identity as Zhang Jia's concubine.
Zhang Jiashi felt the gentle strength coming from his back, he smiled slightly, and grabbed this small hand with one hand.
Sima Yajiao snorted, and she heard Zhang Jiashi slowly say a sentence: "Ya'er, your little hands are really soft." ā
"Husband, don't say such things that make Ya'er feel shy. ā
Sima Ya's voice sounded like a mosquito.
Zhang Jiashi smiled slightly and said, "You two take off your clothes." ā
"Huh?"
Sima Ya and Wang Yan exclaimed in disbelief.
"Hmph, this is your husband's order!"
Zhang Jiashi turned his head and smiled.
And Sima Ya and Wang Yan, after glancing at each other, gently took off their robes......
The white wolf outside the door yawned, looked at Yingxi and Yinglian in the corner of the wall, and wagged his tail a few times......
......
After sunrise the next day, Zhang Jiashi, who was eating in the main hall, saw Yingxi and Ying Lian, and was looking at him with a complicated look.
Zhang Jiashi coughed lightly and said, "The weather is quite good today." ā
As a result, all the women, including Qi Ji, rolled their eyes violently, and looked helplessly at Zhang Jiashi, whose face was getting thicker and thicker. said that they didn't have a good way to deal with Zhang Jiashi.
And Qi Huan'er looked at the dark clouds outside, and looked at Zhang Jiashi puzzled: "Brother Zhang, it should rain today." ā
Zhang Jiashi: "......"
The women looked at each other and burst out laughing.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
In the following days, Zhang Jiashi did not basically live in the barracks as before.
But there are some things that Zhang Jiashi still has to deal with.
The first is the treatment of the cloth.
Huang Bu left his post without permission, such a punishment would be very serious, and Zhang Jiashi, who was not good at being biased, had to demote Huang Bu's position to a hundred generals of the prisoner army under Zhang Jiashi after fifty canes.
He did not react to such a punishment, but silently accepted the punishment.
At that time, when he saw Zhang Jiashi personally bring him medicine and asked him about Wu Ji, Di Bu, who was not dissatisfied, was even more grateful to Zhang Jiashi for his actions.
The second thing is the compensation for the dead cavalry.
Unlike the Qin troops brought out by Zhang Jiashi, the cavalry's exploits could not be effectively recorded at all.
Faced with such a situation, Zhang Jiashi could only be silent, and then think of a way.
At the request of Zhang Jiashi, Mo Shu's craftsmen built a stone pillar with the names of the fallen Qin cavalry soldiers carved on it.
After the stone pillar was completed, Zhang Jiashi personally took this stone pillar as the center and carried out a worship.
This time, Zhang Jiashi did not force everyone to participate, but carried out a wreath offering accompanied by Chen Ping.
This is mainly a way of commemorating from later generations, which made the Qin ** people present very emotional.
Maybe the military merit or something, Zhang Jiashi has not yet implemented it, but such a thing has greatly improved the fighting will of many Qin troops.
According to what Bai Qi said, the morale of the army is available.
However, compared to such a thing, Zhang Jiashi did not give an inspiring speech as he suggested, which in itself is quite a wasteful thing.
It's just that Zhang Jiashi answered very calmly: "There are some things that can't be done because you can't give them hope." I'm not good at things like that. ā
"You can't do that. Bai Qi's words pointed out the most important reason why Zhang Jiashi did not do what he did.
"Who knows?"
Zhang Jiashi silently looked at Sima Qi's tombstone, gently rubbing the concave characters on it, and was very emotional in his heart.
By now, he knows that he has misunderstood this person who can't get along with Donghu. He did what he had to do.
Maybe he died, but Zhang Jiashi knew that this was a relief for Sima Qi.
He glanced at another bundle of flowers under the tombstone, and Zhang Jiashi knew that this was Su Jiao's "gift" to Sima Qi.
Su Jiao has always felt guilty, because if he hadn't been careless, Sima Qi would not have died at the hands of that Donghu man. Sima Qi died to save him.
But Zhang Jiashi knew very well that Sima Qi was too tired, and after knowing what he had always thought, after colliding with reality, he couldn't give him that feeling of revenge at all......
He ran away. Otherwise, Zhang Jiashi would not have seen the long-faded lovesick knot......
Perhaps, in Sima Qi's heart, there is a constant confrontation. He wanted revenge, but he saw reality......
He wants to kill more Donghu people, but don't Donghu have a lot of innocent people?
Therefore, Sima Qi chose a kind of liberation that can be regarded as an escape.
Looking at Sima Qi's tombstone, Zhang Jiashi knew very well that there is no so-called justice and evil in war, and there is no so-called right or wrong. More often than not, it is the result of success and defeat.
Zhang Jiashi, who looked at the tombstone, said slowly: "I'm sorry, there are some things I have to do." ā
After Zhang Jiashi said this, he silently left this place, which is located four kilometers east of Dingxiang City and can be said to be the first cemetery in Daqin......
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Time passed day by day, and for Zhang Jiashi, the Donghu people were not going south, but more concentrating more forces and going south.
Zhang Jiashi, as General Zuo, applied to Ying Zheng for echelon-type defensive extension tactics.
That is, the county soldiers of Guangyang County and Taiyuan County were mobilized to the north and south of a county to assist in defense.
Qinghe, Hengshan and other counties are to fill the defense gap caused by the departure of Guangyang County and other troops.
Ying Zheng's order was very simple, that is, he agreed to Zhang Jiashi's request.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi also received a "punishment" warning from Ying Zheng: "If the Donghu people don't go south within a few months, I will trouble you first." ā
Zhang Jiashi knew very well that what Ying Zheng said was that he had lost more than 10,000 elite troops, especially about 10,000 Qin knights, to the border of Donghu.
In the face of such a warning, Zhang Jiashi could only smile bitterly.
He didn't wonder why Ying Zheng didn't let him only promise victory and not defeat, because Ying Zheng knew very well that few people on the battlefield could know more clearly than the commanders on the front line.
Ying Zheng himself is also not the kind of person who is unrealistic and indiscriminately commands remotely.
Of course, this does not mean that if Zhang Jiashi really loses the battle, he will have nothing to do.
If Zhang Jiashi suffered a fiasco and caused the entire Liaodong or the border counties of the Great Wall to suffer heavy losses, Zhang Jiashi knew very well that Yingzheng asked him to kill himself with the Lulu sword, which would be regarded as giving him face.
It's just that Zhang Jiashi now knows very well that he has basically done everything he can do, and he just needs to know what the outcome of the battle with the Donghu people will be.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
On June 7, 210 B.C., Zhang Jiashi, who had risen, received three messages one after another.
The first one has nothing to do with him, that is, Ying Zheng started that tour in history.
The second thing is that Yingxi and Yinglian are pregnant.
But before Zhang Jiashi could reflect the ecstasy that he was going to be a father, and what to say to Yingxi Yinglian, the third news came:
"The border emergency !! sent out the scouts to guard the !! of more than 300,000 Donghu people heading south."
Zhang Jiashi grabbed the herald and roared loudly: "Is this true?"
"General Zuo! This is the bamboo slip that Mr. Chen gave you!"
After Zhang Jiashi finished reading the bamboo slips, he gritted his teeth fiercely: "Let's go to the Great Wall!"
He could only apologize to his two beloved wives with his eyes, and left the main hall without looking back......
