Chapter XXVI: Overture to the Crusades
readx;?? In September 205 BC, Zhang Jiashi began to prepare intensively and began his first phase of the plan to conquer the eastern part of the country. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info [Burn ^ Wen ^ Book Library] [].. [>
Prior to this, the area under his jurisdiction had another good year.
For the autumn harvest of about half a month, Zhang Jiashi said that he was looking forward to it.
In the past six months, the general trend of the world has changed a lot.
......
In late March, at the same time that Zhang Jiashi led the army back to the division, Mao Dun officially led the army to attack Donghu in the east.
However, Zabekh and Suger, the two eastern Hudan Yu, actually stopped the internal strife soon and went to the outside world.
This incident made Maudon a little unresponsive. However, the forces of Donghu, which had been in civil strife for a long time, whether it was Zabekh or Suger, were greatly weakened. Therefore, the Donghu people were unable to organize a long-term and effective resistance to the large-scale invasion of the Huns.
Suger and Zabekh were successively defeated by the Huns, and Donghu was almost not divided in two by the Huns' offensive in less than half a year.
However, this time, Mao Dun followed Ma Sikuo's parting advice, and did not focus on attacking the southern Donghu region of Zabekh, but mainly focused on attacking the northern Donghu of Zabekh.
Su Ge, who had obtained a large number of standard weapons that had actually been eliminated by the Qin State, was very similar to watching Zabekh unlucky, but a caravan leader of the Great Qin Empire, after handing over money and materials to Zabehe, took out a letter from his bosom, on which were written only a few big words: "Lips are dead and teeth are cold." ”
Knowing the meaning of these four words, Sugel, after thinking about it for two days, decided to send troops to rescue the Zabekh Division, which was attacked by the Huns.
At this time, the two Donghu tribes in the north and south continued to fight with Mao Dun on the two flanks in the middle of Donghu, and although Mao Dun felt that these two enemies were in some trouble, he was more concerned about the weapons used by some Donghu people, although they had been reforged, but he knew very well the source of these weapons.
Mao Dun couldn't help but think of the young man named Zhang Jiashi, and also remembered Ma Sikuo, who had already taken his wife and children away from the Huns.
He couldn't help muttering, "It seems that Mr. may have guessed this situation a long time ago before insisting on leaving." That young Qin man was really not simple. ”
Mao Dun didn't blame Zhang Jiashi for doing the black thing, because if Zhang Jiashi didn't even do such a thing, Mao Dun would doubt Zhang Jiashi's IQ.
......
Opposite to the Donghu and the Huns, who fought fiercely for half a year. The war in the Kanto region has also entered a fever pitch.
In early April, Zhang Han and Shenyang engaged in a full-scale melee, and the two sides fought fiercely for three months around Yingchuan County. In the end, Shen Yang killed himself in the original Han Palace, after the destruction of Yangzhai City.
No one cares about the life and death of Shen Yang, a little person, and Zhang Jiashi is the same, but he doesn't understand why Zhang Han took so long to solve a person like Shen Yang who is not very good.
But the information reply that accompanied the detailed work of understanding the situation. Zhang Jiashi soon knew why Shen Yang was able to resist Zhang Han's offensive for so long, because Shen Yang had formed an alliance with Liu Bang. Although Liu Bang did not directly send troops to support Shen Yang, or to attack Zhang Han with Shen Yang. However, after Zhang Han learned the news, he had to settle part of his troops in the area bordering Liu Bang in Nanyang County.
After Zhang Jiashi learned about such a situation, he smiled at Chen Ping: "Liu Ji's hooligan's hand to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf is really not bad. ”
After hearing Zhang Jiashi's words, Chen Ping couldn't help but smile. Because they now know very well that Zhang Jiashi regards Liu Bang as an enemy that he pays great attention to, and even infiltrates his forces into Changsha County, defeating Liu Bang, Yingbu's old father-in-law, Wu Rui, and has vaguely become the number one princely force in Kwantung.
If it weren't for the fact that Wu Rui still had some capable people under him, I'm afraid that the current Wu Ji would have received the news of Wu Rui's death.
Zhang Jiashi didn't know if his dispatch of troops would unite the forces of Qi and Chu and Liu Bang. But for Zhang Jiashi, it is not a bad thing for them to join forces, on the contrary, Zhang Jiashi knows very well that once the three strongest Kwantung princes are united, and he does not intend to attack each other, it will take a long time. Naturally, this alliance will fall apart and fall apart.
In such a situation, Zhang Jiashi wished that they would unite, and let them have some irreparable gaps.
......
In mid-June, fierce battles broke out again between Han Guang and Zang Di in Qinghe County and Handan County.
Zhang Jiashi asked Yingshuang, who was stationed in Hengshan County, and Huan Suo, who was stationed around Jixian County, to receive the influx of displaced people from the two counties.
Although there are not many displaced people in the two counties, Zhang Jiashi does not care about the number of people. What he wants to do is a gesture, that is, people from all over the world come to their new home, and Zhang Jiashi is infinitely welcome.
But Han Guang was defeated again by Zang Di this time and had to go south to Wei Bao.
This also became an important inducement for Han Guang to die in Chenggao, because Han Guang, who originally belonged to one of the princes and kings, was beaten into a lost dog by Zang Di.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi didn't know that Han Guang's life would change so dramatically.
For him. At that time, the plan for sending troops to the northern front will also need to be revised somewhat.
After all, Zang Di now has the southern part of Guangyang County, Handan County, Qinghe County and other regions, and his strength cannot be underestimated. However, Zhang Jiashi was quite confident in Huan Su and Yingshuang, who was quite talented among the younger generation of the Great Qin Sect and loyalty was not an issue.
After signing a peace treaty with Mao Dun, Zhang Jiashi decided to appoint some of the Zhao clan, who were indeed talented and loyal to Great Qin, as middle and low-ranking officials in the area under his jurisdiction.
And Yingshuang is the only clan that holds the position of county guard.
Zhang Jiashi's move may indeed lead to the emergence of some hidden dangers, but Zhang Jiashi knows one thing very well, that is, he did this, neither Chen Ping nor Ying Yuexi objected.
The Great Qin Empire can't be maintained just by relying on Zhang Jiashi's team now.
Zhang Jiashi also needs more talents to manage many of his areas well.
Of course, in Zhang Jiashi's heart, the monitoring of these people is still necessary for the time being. Moreover, in Zhang Jiashi's thinking, the tenure of these people will be adjusted accordingly with the level of their positions.
......
The State of Qi and Xiang Yu's Western Chu have been quite peaceful in the past half a year, after all, the State of Qi itself did not regard Emperor Yi's cattle herding baby as a thing. In the eyes of Tian Heng and the others, as long as Xiang Yu didn't come to attack them, they naturally didn't bother to trouble them.
In such a case. Xiang Yu, who has not yet recovered a certain amount of vitality, or has not made up for the loss of troops under his command, naturally cannot afford to get along with the big country of Qi.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Jiashi said that it was difficult for him to understand why there was such peace between Qi and Western Chu.
But he also knew that if there were no unacceptable accidents, Qi and Xichu would not be able to fight.
In order to avoid a recurrence of the Battle of Julu, Zhang Jiashi planned to let Qin Min throw both the Lou Chuanshi troops and Du Cong's marines into the harassment of the Qi State.
After Zhang Jiashi's westward advance. Qin Min's fleet has grown to more than 200 ships, and the Marine Corps has reached the scale of more than 10,000 people.
If it weren't for the fact that this unit still lacked the ability to attack fortified positions in land warfare. Zhang Jiashi might as well let these troops attack a few relatively important ports in Qi State,
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
In the past half a year, Zhang Jiashi finally got together with Lu Pheasant again under Ying Yuexi's concealed arrangement.
Zhang Jiashi also gradually accepted Lu Pheasant's existence by his side as his concubine.
In contrast to this situation, several of Zhang Jiashi's wives and concubines came with good news, and Zhang Jiashi himself couldn't help but squirt out a mouthful of water after hearing about it.
Because what he didn't expect was that he would have so many achievements in the past few months.
Of course. Zhang Jiashi was most happy that Qi Ji also had good news.
As one of the women who has been by his side for the longest time, Zhang Jiashi is also very able to take into account Qi Ji's feelings, because he knows that although Qi Ji is not the oldest, she is also eager to have a child of her own.
After Zhang Jiashi heard that Qi Ji also had good news, he was also secretly relieved in his heart.
But Zhang Jiashi is about to have a full house of wives and concubines, and some people feel that they can be said to be relatively depressed.
That is, including Ruan Weng Thiao and others, are still unsettled. Or maybe they don't have someone they want.
Zhang Jiashi can't help such a situation, to be honest. But I saw that some of the old fathers under his command were still alone. Zhang Jiashi didn't want to go.
And in order to solve this problem, one night, Zhang Jiashi pulled Ying Yueqin to his side for the first time, and after Hu Tianhu Emperor with the three princesses of the Great Qin Empire, Zhang Jiashi hugged Ying Yuexi's delicate body and muttered: "Why don't you sisters choose some suitable women in the clan." Let Ruan Weng Shao and the others take a look. ”
Regarding Zhang Jiashi's idea, Ying Yuexi and Ying Yuelian didn't feel anything wrong, and Ying Yueqin ...... It has become an ostrich that has already buried its head in the bed.
......
This time it is the ancient blind date meeting that Zhang Jiashi thinks, and it is relatively peaceful, and the result is relatively satisfactory. After all, those clan women that Ying Yueqin found, Ruan Weng Shao, and they are indispensable.
Of course, if it weren't for Zhang Jiashi, he would have released cruel words a long time ago. Nguyen Weng Shao and they themselves have a hard time accepting these clan women.
As for what are the cruel words released by Zhang Jiashi?
It's very simple, that is: "If you mess up this time, believe it or not, Gu will transfer you all to the border army in a few months?"
Several people, including Ruan Weng Shao and Li Shang, all shivered directly, because Zhang Jiashi said this, which meant that if there was a large-scale military operation in a few months, they would have no hope.
If such a thing really happened, they might as well find a piece of tofu and kill them.
As for why there is such a thing as tofu now, we have to talk about some of Zhang Jiashi's creative "inventions".
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
In order to make his little ones grow up more healthily, Zhang Jiashi was finally able to make a soybean milk together in the afternoon of one day after several failed attempts.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi knows that it is best not to add honey to soy milk. Maybe adults can bear some of the disadvantages brought about by the reconciliation of the two, but if you are a child, Zhang Jiashi can't take such a risk.
In order to make these tasteless soy milk, which children don't like to drink at all, into something that tastes good, Zhang Jiashi used some sucrose processed from Shu County on these soy milk......
Of course, what Zhang Jiashi himself didn't expect was. My own children still don't like to drink this kind of thing...... Not only that, but the wives and concubines, including Ying Yuexi, don't like to drink this kind of soy milk very much.
Zhang Jiashi suddenly had an idea of OTL, he drank it himself, and he didn't find any problems.
But since the children don't like to drink it, Zhang Jiashi can only put these soy milk and think about what he should do......
Outcome. Because the weather is a bit hot, these soy milks go bad quickly.
Faced with such a situation. Zhang Jiashi can be said to be embarrassed. But after he saw the thin layer of bean skin on top of the soy milk, Zhang Jiashi quickly thought of one thing, that is, he ignored a lot of corresponding ingredients.
Soybeans are not only used to feed livestock, nor are they just used to make bean rice, Zhang Jiashi thinks of yuba, tofu, bean skin and many other ingredients.
So, Zhang Jiashi asked Zheng Fu to send someone to buy back a few bags of soybeans, and he was doing a trick on these ingredients.
......
Outcome. A day later, Zhang Jiashi's dinner table had more dishes that were common in later generations but are impossible to appear now, such as fried lean pork slices with tofu, tofu skin meat rolls and so on.
I have to say that Zhang Jiashi made these things out. It really changed the eating habits of many of his subordinates.
But Zhang Jiashi has another thing that wants to drum out, soybean oil, Zhang Jiashi has to say...... He really doesn't have the talent for it.
In the end, Zhang Jiashi had to rely on the relevant records of the Qingyu Spirit Book to finally be able to make usable soybean oil.
But Zhang Jiashi knew that the shelf life of these soybean oils would not be too long, and he also remembered something else. That's soy sauce.
However, compared with soybean oil, the production cycle of soy sauce is relatively much longer.
And Zhang Jiashi wanted to test whether he could make soy sauce, and more hoped that he could make more food improvements for civilians.
Of course, it is inevitable to earn some small money to support the family.
After all, if so many people get pregnant all at once, the expenses in the future will not be less.

"Father, Xuan'er wants to hug!"
Zhang Jiashi and Ying Yuelian's baby daughter is also one of the most noble girls in the Great Qin Empire. In fact, Her Royal Highness the princess who was most doted on by Zhang Jiashi, Zhang Xuan stretched out her little hand to Zhang Jiashi in her mother's arms.
Zhang Jiashi can be said to be basically responsive to his daughter's needs, and it is naturally not a big problem for his daughter to let him hug him.
As for what Zhang Jiashi's family is doing?
Quite simply, Zhang Jiashi's family was fishing on the edge of the Jing River.
As for why Zhang Jiashi did this, the main reason is that he knows that this day may be the last day he can spend with his family this year.
Because, he will lead the troops tomorrow, send out of Hanguguan, and attack Sanchuan County.
......
Some time after the autumn harvest, Zhang Jiashi quickly determined his own policy of sending troops.
On the north road, there were Yingshuang and Huan Suo, each leading 30,000 soldiers and horses under their command, and went south to attack Zang Di, who had established himself as the king of Zhao.
Zang Di can be said to be very helpless about his title of Yan King. According to Xiang Yu's division, he had to take the initiative to attack the northern part of Guangyang County under Zhang Jiashi's command, not to mention Liaoxi County and Liaodong County.
He didn't want to kill himself. Because he was not sure to break through the defense line of the Great Wall to the north of Guangyang County.
The Middle Route Army was led by Wang Yuan of Taiyuan County and Wang Chang of Yanmen County to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses south to attack Hanoi County and Shangdang County.
In fact, this middle route army can be regarded as the easiest one, because the big princes of Shangdang County and Hanoi County do not exist, and a large number of small princes who are fighting each other have too much weakened the war potential of the two places.
And expecting these small princes to effectively form a large army to resist the south, Zhang Jiashi did not think that such a probability would be more likely than catching a Chinese sturgeon in the Jing River.
The Southern Route Army, which was the main force of this Eastern Crusade, was naturally led by his Guanzhong troops.
Zhang Jiashi's dispatch of troops to Sanchuan County this time was mainly to take the strategic place of Sanchuan County as his own.
He knows that the land of a hundred battles certainly means that it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, but it also means the initiative.
Once he gets Sanchuan County, then Guanzhong will be safer, and if the Kwantung princes want to attack Guanzhong, they must first pass the Sanchuan County pass.
For this reason, Zhang Jiashi can be said to send 150,000 troops, which is an act at any cost.
This dispatch of troops can be regarded as the transfer of Zhang Jiashi's mobile forces in the Guanzhong area, and even Beidi County and Hanzhong County, not to mention the supply and demand manpower and material resources to maintain the operation of the army.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi knew one thing, that is, the transportation of grain and straw for this army was also the easiest among the three armies.
Because it is located in the area northeast of Hangu Pass, it is completely possible to build a simple port, and then use the inland river building boat sergeant unit that Zhang Jiashi gradually developed in the past few months to supply supplies.
As long as this Lou Chuanshi army can defeat the Wei army, then the upper reaches of the river will become the safest route for transporting materials.
This is also the reason why Zhang Jiashi has the confidence to mobilize 150,000 troops to send a letter to Guguan.
......
At dawn the next day, Zhang Jiashi put on his own set of military uniforms under the service of Ying Yuexi and Ying Yuelian sisters.
He then gently hugged his two beloved wives and kissed their foreheads respectively, and Zhang Jiashi murmured: "When I come back, maybe in less than half a year, I will be able to solve this goal." ”
"The most important thing, your king, is that you are safe. Because we ...... Will be waiting for you to come back. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
