Hu Yu gave birth to the second son of the King of Qin, and according to the agreement, Yingzheng named the second son Hu Hai, which, like Fusu, was also a character in his mother's name.

Gu Cheng Palace, which had just been calm for a few days, was lively again.

This can't help but make Ying Zheng faintly worried.

There are many ladies, and there are many troubles.

Thinking about the back, the stomachs of Wen Xuan, Minruo, and Lan Ting also bulged.

and Hu Yu, who even said that he would be born until his teeth fell out!

Are you really not tired?

Forget it, let's accompany the guests first.

Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

On this day, Lü Buwei came to see Yingzheng in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, twenty miles south of the city, I found that the army was marching towards Xianyang." Lu Buwei said.

"But where are the foot soldiers?" Ying Zheng asked.

"It's Changpingjun's Western Chu Army." Lü Buwei said coldly, "Without a military order, how can he mobilize the army privately?" ”

"The widow told him to come back with the army." Ying Zheng said casually.

"Oh?" Lu Buwei asked in surprise, "Could it be that the king wants to lay out in advance?" ”

Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Didn't Father Zhong receive the news, Chang Yu's troops have reached 80,000, and they are still recruiting, and at the same time, they have purchased a large number of ordnance and war horses. ”

Lü Buwei was stunned.

Although he also received relevant news, most of them were not very conclusive, let alone relevant figures.

And the news that Ying Zheng received was naturally sent back to Xianyang after Chen Li's secret investigation was very detailed.

"Therefore, the widow took advantage of Changping Jun's request for military rations and ordered him to return to Xianyang to garrison." Ying Zheng said.

"I see." Lu Buwei's face finally soothed, "It's still the king's delicate thoughts." ”

"The middle father doesn't have to be praised." Ying Zheng said, "Let's go and pick up Changping Jun, his army can't enter the city, and he must still be waiting for the will." ”

"Okay." Lü Buwei responded.

After ordering the second watch to pass on the order, Yingzheng changed into the king's clothes, and then walked to the south gate with Lü Buwei.

The Western Chu army was stationed twenty miles outside the city, and Lü Buwei had already set up defenses around Xianyang City in advance to prepare for the unexpected.

Escorted by a team of guards, Changping Jun quickly came to the south city gate.

After coming to Yingzheng, Changping Jun flew off his horse and bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Lu Xiang, the Western Chu army has been rectified as scheduled, and I will return to the city to resume my life." ”

"Okay." Ying Zheng said, "Lao invites Changping Jun to return to the palace for a while." ”

Changping Jun answered, and then followed Yingzheng and Lü Buwei to the gate of Gucheng Palace.

Because of the number of rites, Changping Jun first went to Huayang Palace to visit Mrs. Huayang, and then came to Gucheng Palace, and after visiting Xiao Fusu, he followed Yingzheng to the imperial study.

After sitting down, Ying Zheng poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Changping Jun: "Changping Jun is running all the way, let's drink hot tea to quench your thirst first." ”

"Thank you, the king." Changpingjun took the teacup and took a sip.

"After a few months, Changping Jun is a little thinner than before." Lü Buwei said, "Presumably, I have suffered a lot of hardship. ”

Changping Jun smiled and said: "It's hard to talk about, but it's quite busy, but fortunately, it lives up to the king's trust and brings out a formed team." ”

"This team of mountain bandits must be difficult to control." Lu Buwei stroked his beard and said.

"Hehe, Xiangbang said so, but he underestimated these people." Chang Pingjun said.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Lu Buwei said slightly.

"Most of the remnants of the Chu army are old people, I have visited many places in person, and I have learned some of the relationships." Changping Jun said, "In fact, they were not defeated back then, they could have retreated to the Chu realm, but because their homeland was difficult to leave, and

chose to stay, but after staying, they didn't want to harass the people, so they all hid in the mountains and lived by hunting. After a long time, most of them were afraid of the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, so they came together. ”

"So it feels like a bunch of bandits." Ying Zheng added.

"Not bad." Changping Jun took another sip of tea and continued, "These people also practice on weekdays, but they also focus on farming and hunting, they don't have to pay taxes, and no one dares to bully, so they are really comfortable." ”

"Then you and Xiang Yan, how did you recruit them?" Ying Zheng asked.

"At that time, we were just asking the local people which mountain had the most strength and was more convincing to others." Changping Jun said, "Later, after inquiring, Xiang Yan and I went to visit the owner of the village on the top of the mountain, and after revealing their identities and explaining their intentions, they readily agreed, on the condition that they seek an official position in the army, and treat ordinary sergeants and their families well." ”

"So, you agreed." Lu Buwei followed.

"Not bad." Changping Jun nodded and said, "I also ordered the leader to issue a summoning order to the other mountains, and within a month, almost all the mountains were attached. ”

"Hehe, good means." Lu Buwei said with a smile.

"Yes, in this way, it saves effort and worry, and it also saves a lot of closed-door soup." Ying Zheng also said.

"This is all Xiang Yan's strategy, and it also relies on his identity." Chang Pingjun said.

"In this way, we owe Xiang Yan a favor." When Ying Zheng said this, although he smiled, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

It seems that Xiang Yan, like Li Mu of the Zhao State, will be a very strong opponent of Great Qin in the future.

Lü Buwei looked at Changping Jun and asked, "How many men and horses are there in this Western Chu army now?" ”

Changping Jun stretched out a hand, then separated his five fingers, and said, "No more, no less, a full fifty thousand." ”

"But the equipment of the normal military trains?" Lü Buwei asked.

The normal military column refers to the standard of 30,000 foot soldiers, 10,000 crossbowmen, 5,000 chariot soldiers, and 5,000 iron cavalry.

Changping Jun shook his head and said: "The previous allocation of military salaries and ordnance did not include horses, and now the thousands of war horses in the Western Chu army are also the private property of those mountains and forests. The number of longbows is also insufficient, and the current use is of all kinds, and there are even hunting bows that they used to hunt before. ”

Ying Zheng couldn't hold back and didn't laugh out loud.

Lu Buwei chuckled: "In this way, it seems that he has really wronged the Western Chu Army." ”

Changping Jun glanced at Lu Buwei with his spare eyes, as if to say: Obviously it was the ordnance you allocated, but now you pretend not to know.

Ying Zheng coughed lightly and said: "It's better to be like this, the ordnance that should be purchased should be made up as soon as possible, what does Changping Jun think?" ”

Changping Jun was quite surprised and said in surprise: "If this is the case, Weichen thanked the king on behalf of the Western Chu army." ”

"Hehe, since it is my Great Qin's army, it should be fully equipped to improve its combat power." Ying Zheng seemed to say it casually, but he defined the belonging of the Western Chu Army.

Changping Jun didn't have any other reaction, and said again: "There is one thing, Weichen wants to come, and he should inform the king." ”

"Please." Ying Zheng said politely.

Changping Jun arched his hand and said: "Do you still remember that the king gave Xiang Yan 500 flying crossbows?" ”

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "This is how long it is, how can the widow not remember." ”

"What Weichen wants to tell is that Xiang Yan didn't take all the five hundred flying crossbows with him." Changping Jun said, "Instead, he gave three hundred of them back to the Western Chu army." If the king is interested, Weichen will immediately send the three hundred flying crossbows back. ”

"Hahaha...... Ying Zheng laughed, "What you send out, how can you ask for it back." Besides, it was given to you by Xiang Yan, and it was not a gift

Widowed. ”

"What does the king mean, is this flying crossbow that can be equipped for the Western Chu army?" Changpingjun asked deliberately.

"Not bad." Ying Zheng said, "Since it is something that Xiang Yan gave you, you can use it at your disposal." Moreover, since Xiang Yan has sent it, if the widow doesn't send anything anymore, he can't say anything. ”

Changping Jun couldn't believe his ears, the ordnance war horses supplied by Yingzheng just now had already surprised him, and now he still wants to send them?

What to send?

I saw Ying Zheng say unhurriedly: "You must not lack anything else, and if you only have these three hundred flying crossbows, it will not be a good climate, it is better to send you another two thousand seven hundred flying crossbows, and if you make up three thousand, you can also form an array." ”

When Changpingjun heard this, he almost fell to the ground.

What?

Give so much?

You must know that when Xiang Yan was there, the Qin State only had more than 600 flying crossbows in total, and 500 were given to him.

And now, just half a year has passed, and King Qin is going to give himself nearly 3,000 flying crossbows......

However, Changping Jun still stabilized his mind, looked at Ying Zheng and asked: "As far as Wei Chen knows, this flying crossbow is only made by the Jing family class, and it is very fine, I am afraid that the Western Chu army occupies too much, and it will be unfair to other armies." ”

Ying Zheng smiled and said: "In the past half a year, the widow has been busy building the royal tomb and forging 'my weapon', and there is indeed some neglect of this flying crossbow, and the Jingjia class can't divide the extra manpower, so the production of the flying crossbow has indeed been delayed." ”

"But don't worry, the widow will resume the production of the crossbow immediately."

"Within two months, I will definitely deliver a large number of flying crossbows to you."

Looking at Ying Zheng's extremely firm and sincere gaze, Changping Jun put the last bit of doubt behind him: "Thank you for your kindness." ”

Of course, Lu Buwei knew Yingzheng's true thoughts, so he helped on the side: "In this way, the old minister still needs to allocate some silver taels to Jingyao." ”

"Then the middle father bothered." Ying Zheng said.

Changping Jun also bowed his hand and said, "Thank you Lu Xiang!" ”

Ying Zheng saw that the political affairs had been almost discussed, so he said with a smile: "Changping Jun has a tired journey, and the widow will pick up the wind for you tonight, but tomorrow morning, the widow wants to see the morale of your Western Chu army, there is no problem, right?" ”

People sent so many things in one go, how could Changping Jun refuse: "The king inspected the newly recruited three armies, and it was natural, so Weichen passed down a military order and told them to prepare and prepare." ”

Ranwen

Immediately, Changpingjun explained to a few guards who came with him, and then sent them back to the barracks.

Early in the morning of the second day, Ying Zheng led a convoy loaded with ordnance, winter clothes, wine and food, out of the south city gate, and came to the garrison of the Western Chu army.

The Western Chu army has long been in full battle, and the soldiers are all in good spirits, and they are all in high spirits, where is there still a little bit of gangsterism.

Ying Zheng walked up to the high platform very solemnly and shouted: "Soldiers! The widow knows that you are all natives of the Great Qin. It's just that because of the state strife of the previous generation, you are like a weed without roots, living in the mountains and forests for a long time. ”

"From today on, you will be the upright people of Qin, who will be registered in Qin and abide by the laws of Qin!"

"From now on, no one will dare to deceive, and you will have land to plant, and clothing to wear, and you who do not want your old and young to suffer in the mountains and forests, you may choose to settle down in the city."

"Here, it is the wine and delicacies brought by the widow, winter clothes and cotton mattresses, and Jin Ge Iron Horse, from now on, you are the famous Western Chu Army!"

After saying that, Ying Zheng waved his hand, and the vehicles and war horses loaded with supplies were placed in front of the Western Chu army.

"Swear to be loyal to Qin!" Changpingjun raised his arms and shouted.

"Swear to be loyal to Qin!" Fifty thousand Western Chu troops followed and shouted.

The atmosphere suddenly rose to the top.
