Liu Bang, who wiped out thousands of Liaodong officers and soldiers in less than a day, even laughed out loud after receiving the news that he had captured Jiaxian County and completely annihilated thousands of Qin troops in Jiaxian: "It seems that Xiang Ji is incompetent, and the other party's combat effectiveness is even inferior to that of the Qin army in Wuguan." Now, whether it's Guanzhong or the throne, it's all my Liu Ji's!"

Hearing Liu Bang's words, many people have different thoughts in their hearts. Because Liu Bang is so proud and complacent, it is not a good thing. Especially in the battle of Jiaxian, the Qin army was at a relative disadvantage in all aspects.

If they can't win against each other under such a premise, then their army really can't even be counted as a rabble.

Zhang Liang thought more:

"Pei Gong is too easy to be complacent, and based on this alone, he can conclude that the strength of the Liaodong Army is unbearable, and if he really underestimates the enemy in this regard and suffers losses, he can't complain about others. Besides, compared to Jiaxian, a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Qin Dog troops in that dirt mountain are obviously more difficult to deal with. ”

Liu Bang's subordinates are not only Zhang Liang is an understanding person, he has some grievances with Zhang Jiashi, who was driven home by Zhao Gao more than a year ago, and Kong Teng, a doctor of Confucianism who was captured by Liu Bang less than a few months later, said at this time: "Pei Gong, Zhang Jiashi is the first emperor...... No, Qin Junying's reuse of politics is naturally not a person who does nothing. The other party can also be regarded as a prestigious name in the Qin army, please don't take it lightly. ”

Kong Teng is Kong's younger brother, and unlike his brother, Kong and his nephew Sun Tong once served in the Great Qin Empire together and was hired by Yingzheng as a doctor.

But unlike what happened to Kong Teng, Shusun Tong has now become a doorman under Xiang Yu.

This is also the time when Kong Teng discussed with his uncle and grandson, thinking that Confucianism could not seek survival and development in a single force, but sent many people to the office, once someone could really win the world again or return to the situation of competing for hegemony for many years. Such an arrangement can be regarded as a relatively safe approach.

There is only one thing, that is, whether it is the deceased Kong, or Kong Teng and others, they don't think that Zhang Jiashi will do anything special, and give up this idea.

In fact, after a few years, they will regret their decision very much. But even if Kong sent people to seek official positions under Zhang Jiashi, I am afraid that Zhang Jiashi would not reuse these people in such a situation.

......

For Zhang Jiashi, Confucianism did have the means to consolidate its rule. However, the rise and fall of a country does not have a direct impact on Confucian doctrine strictly speaking. On the contrary, methods such as "Confucian bones" are the best way to develop and consolidate a country.

In just over a decade, the Great Qin Empire increased the population of less than 20 million before sweeping the Six Kingdoms to more than 20 million before the death of the First Emperor, in a sense, it is the benefits and development foundation brought by the Great Qin Empire's ruling style.

Many people smeared Qin Law and the Qin Dynasty's ruling methods, so the increase in population during the reign of the First Emperor Yingzheng was undoubtedly a very resounding slap in the face.

In a sense, the governance methods and foundations of the Qin Dynasty are very suitable for use with the Han Dynasty. Although the Han Dynasty advocated the doctrine of Huang Lao Wuwei after the siege of Baishan Mountain. However, the Han Dynasty, which inherited the Qin Dynasty in many places, did not make much progress in this regard.

It was not until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that Zhao Guo implemented the cattle farming system, and the national strength of the Han Dynasty had very sufficient opportunities for development. In a sense, this is of course the foundation of the rule of Wenjing, but more importantly, it is impossible to deny the advanced nature of the cattle farming system for the human farming system.

And if you want to implement this, Confucianism alone cannot do this. However, once the dynasties of ancient China had the ability to comprehensively promote the cattle farming system, to a large extent, they relied on the smooth implementation of the rule of law.

It can be said that this period is often the heyday of the Confucian bones.

Zhang Jiashi, who clearly understood such a situation from the Qingyu Spirit Book, actually still had some scoffs at the statement of rejecting the hundred schools and respecting Confucianism alone. At the very least, the actual practice during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was more of a Confucian bone. Dong Zhongshu's doctrine did not almost bring Chinese civilization into a situation of complete regression like Zhu Chenglixue of later generations.

And because of Zhu Cheng's physical situation, Zhang Jiashi was not very interested in Confucianism at this time. Of course, in Zhang Jiashi's heart, Confucius can still be called a saint.

Many of the statements about Confucius's "weak people" and "foolish people" are in fact fundamentally vulnerable to Confucius's own code of conduct.

said that Confucius was weak and the people, Confucius promoted the six arts of a gentleman, and many of Confucius's disciples were proficient in the six arts. Among them, the two skills of imperial archery, it is difficult for people who do not have a certain amount of force to achieve such a point.

And when did Confucius, who said that Confucius was a fool and a man who taught without class, deserve such a saying?

It can be said that the Confucianism of later generations has subverted most of the real Confucianism, and what remains is the garbage that Zhang Jiashi scoffed at.

Under such a premise, Zhang Jiashi can have a good impression of Confucianism, which is called a strange thing.

......

After Liu Bang heard Kong Teng's words, he quickly fell into deep thought. After some careful thinking, I had to focus my attention on Zhang Liang.

"Mr. Zifang, what should we do next?"

At such a time, Liu Bang was quite obedient to Liu Bang, because the other party did have an ability that he and his own martial artists could not match. This made Liu Bang trust Zhang Liang quite a lot.

After thinking about it for a while, the latter looked at the sunset in the sky gradually setting in the west, and he said slowly: "Pei Gong, according to the opinion of the ovary, Pei Gong should attack the opponent's camp overnight. But in such a situation, as well as a considerable part of the officers and soldiers under Pei Gong's command, they were exhausted, and the ovary thought that we would make a plan tomorrow. ”

Zhang Liang knew very well that what they needed at the moment was not the victory or defeat of one or two cities and one or two areas, but as much as possible to go north as soon as possible before Zhang Jiashi and the Liaodong Army reacted, so that the other party could not concentrate his greatest strength to attack them at once.

Zhang Liang was in such a situation, and naturally he didn't know that in such a situation, Ying Ziying did Liu Bang and Chu Jun a great favor. Now Zhang Jiashi is still worried about Li Cang's safety and the situation of the prisoners and officers.

A day later, the news of Li Cang's defeat would reach Zhang Jiashi's ears, but the news of Li Cang's death was after the battle of Jiaxian was completely over.

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

Regarding the fact that Jiaxian County was lost, the two convict military captains who led the army to garrison Xiaoshan were very clear in their hearts, because the Chu army had already occupied Jiaxian, and the people in the city were obviously more than lucky. In such an environment, even if they sent personnel to investigate the results of such a matter, they were afraid that they would not be able to know what the situation was.

And in their hearts, in fact, they don't have much hope for the robes in the city, including their commander Li Cang.

These two lieutenants are the old men of the first batch of prisoner army formed by Zhang Jiashi from the construction site of Afang Palace, and a small number of the officers and soldiers under their command are the same as them, and most of them are at least the personnel who joined the prisoner army before Zhang Jiashi sent troops to Liaoxi.

Unlike Li Cang's convict army left in Jiaxian, their loyalty to Zhang Jiashi was very high, because what Zhang Jiashi gave them was what they wanted. In particular, some convicts, even under Zhang Jiashi's policy, married wives and had children of their own.

Although some of them are still carrying sentences, most of the officers and soldiers of the prisoner army are already free people.

Although some of them left after regaining their freedom, they either settled in Liaodong, Korea, or that place called Qinkai County, as peasants, with their families, farming to make ends meet, or joined other troops.

But more members of the convict army remained in the unit.

For example, Li Cang, for example, for example, for the two of them, for example, for some brothers they have known for a long time.

Long after the Battle of the Great Wall, they were able to remove their crimes and become free beings because of their corresponding merits. But most of them stayed in this place.

This has become one of the foundations of this force. And with the passage of time, and after they were able to deeply appreciate the original arrangement of Zhang Jiashi for them and the benefits brought to them, their loyalty became higher and higher.

In fact, the combat effectiveness of these more than 4,000 convict troops may not be the highest among the troops under Zhang Jiashi's command, but in terms of loyalty, I am afraid that even the thousands of people under Di Bu may not be able to compare with the other party.

It is true that since the establishment of the Prisoner Army, after several fierce battles, the attrition and replacement of personnel have been quite serious and frequent. Especially after the Battle of the Great Wall, less than a quarter of the first batch of prisoner officers remained.

However, they soon regained a certain strength, and within a few years, they even developed into one of the troops that Zhang Jiashi relied on.

The two lieutenants knew very well who had brought them all this, especially the changes in the lives of most of the convict corps.

This is also the reason why they are willing to serve Zhang Jiashi.

Perhaps, even those who are considered regular soldiers, some people will still have some bad opinions about them, but compared to many members of the convict army who are already habitual offenders, what happened to them before they joined this army, this is not enough to give them any idea.

Li Cang, Duo Bu and others, in such an aspect, all cooperated with Zhang Jiashi and Chen Ping to appease the officers and soldiers under their command.

The two lieutenants, one named Li Ping and the other Zhuang Guang, returned to their homes after their first release and were met with a cold reception from their own wives.

Perhaps, they both wanted to live like this for the rest of their lives, but because of some things that happened separately that they didn't want to talk about to others, they became prisoners again.

They at that time, one could even say, have lost everything.

Now, however, they have their own new homes, their own wives and several children in a camp built a few years ago in Liaodong. This kind of life makes them feel that they still have their own value as a person.

......

"Li Ping, I'm afraid Lord Duwei is ...... now"

In front of several two or five hundred lords, five hundred lords and some intermediate Simas under his command, Li Ping looked at Jiaxian City, which had planted the banner of the Chu army in the afterglow of the sunset, and said this sentence helplessly.

When the others heard this, they sighed softly, because in their hearts, such an ending should not have happened.

But they are more worried about what will happen to them.

"Even if Lord Du Wei died, he would not betray the king, and neither would we. ”

Zhuang Guang, who was in charge of patrolling the barracks, heard this sentence when he came back to this place.

The others nodded. Because they really wouldn't do such a thing.

Although they didn't know what was going on in Jiaxian, thousands of robes and Li Cang, the commander, were all wiped out in Jiaxian, and no one was able to escape back, so they clearly understood one situation, that is, things had deteriorated to the worst.

Whether Liu Bang's army would attack them overnight was no longer something they could control. Basically, they have lost the initiative, and they can only wait for Liu Bang's next move, and then react.

"Brother, what should I do at night?"

Zhuang Guang also looked at Jiaxian, who seemed to be a little ruddy, but the main body was still golden, and it took a while to say this to Li Ping.

"I will keep watch with half of my brothers for the first half of the night, and you will take the other half of the brothers for the second half of the night. ”

After hearing Li Ping's words, Zhuang Guang nodded: "That's all there is to it." You can't just take precautions. ”

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

On both sides of Wuguan Road, about 30 kilometers northwest of Jiaxian, Wang Li asked his troops to stay in this area and rest on the spot.

He did not let the officers and soldiers under his command directly build a barracks, but let the veterans in the army observe the weather conditions and let the troops rest on the spot.

It's not that Wang Li doesn't want the troops to live more comfortably, but once a camp is built, the distance they travel every day will inevitably be shortened a lot.

In such a situation, Wang Li, who understood the importance of time, quickly persuaded some of the officers and soldiers under his command who still had some opinions.

And next to a big tree, Wang Li was discussing with the lieutenants of his army and the officers on the other side of the Nangong period.

Because they have already received a quick report from Li Ping and Zhuang Guang.

"General, the fall of Jiaxian, will Li Duwei and thousands of officers and soldiers ......" Nangong Period still doesn't understand the situation of the Liaodong Army very well, but in such a situation, Nangong Period has long classified himself into Wang Li's faction. Therefore, Nangong Period is not too rusty in terms of title.

After Wang Li heard Nangong Qi's words, he couldn't help frowning. Because of the Nangong period, it is very likely that it has become a fact.

Wang Li didn't think that Li Cang would surrender, but how many people in the convict army would surrender was not something he could guess.

Wang Li muttered a sentence: "Li Duwei is afraid that he has been martyred." This incident is indeed surprising, but for now we must rush to the northwest of Jiaxian tomorrow to join the troops of Captain Li and Captain Zhuang!"

When Wang Li finished saying this, he lightly clicked on the map with his hand, which should be the location of Li Ping and Zhuang Guang.

The others nodded one after another, and one of Wang Li's lieutenants said, "General, should we hurry overnight?"

Wang Li shook his head: "It's advisable to travel overnight, but the officers and soldiers under our command are too tired, even if we can meet Captain Li overnight, what can we do?

After hearing this, the lieutenant who said his suggestion lowered his head with a somewhat ashamed face.

What Wang Li said was true, and he didn't take into account such a situation, which was indeed an oversight on his part.

......

After Wang Li's officers and soldiers went south to Jiuyuan County, they were basically in the midst of a campaign, which was very similar to the main force of the Liaodong Army under Zhang Jiashi.

However, unlike the main force of the Liaodong Army under Zhang Jiashi, the troops under Zhang Jiashi basically did not have much time to rest, that is, when arranging the corresponding Xianyang City offensive, they should be the right time to rest and recuperate.

And they are different. Because a fierce battle did not break out between Wang Li's troops and the troops of Beidi County, but were in a stalemate with each other for nearly half a month.

During this period of time, Wang Lijun got a good rest.

However, after solving the situation in Beidi County, Wang Lijun marched for three days before arriving at Ganquan Palace from Beidi County, and after solving the more than 1,000 defenders of Ganquan Palace, he even took the troops that cooperated with Li Cang and solved the remnants of the two or three thousand Zhonglang Legions.

And then there was such a thing.

It can be said that Wang Lijun did consume considerable physical strength. If they march rapidly overnight, how much combat effectiveness their troops can exert can be imagined on their knees.

Therefore, Wang Li did not agree with the statement of this commander under his command, which is correct.

Wang Li was aware of such a situation, and even thought of one thing, that is, their task was probably the same as Li Cang's vanguard army, responsible for delaying Liu Bangjun's advance.

Li Cang is probably dead now, but Wang Li knows very well that his burden is definitely not easy.

However, whether Zhang Jiashi will send reinforcements over again to reinforce him, Wang Li himself does not have a certainty......
