Chapter 237: Pre-War Preparations

After solving the matter of the Wu family, Bai Zhong returned to the place where the horizontal knife was made, took away all the horizontal knives that had been created so far, and asked them to temporarily stop the work in hand.

He wants to build a batch of Mo knives, and from now until the time of the expedition, as much as he can build, even if it is many.

For such a long and heavy Mo knife, the craftsmen felt strange, but the order was so, so they could only stop all the work of the horizontal knife and build a batch according to the system of the Mo knife.

Next, they went back to Xianyang.

On the way, Qin Qing wanted to thank Bai Zhong and invited him back to his house to sit down.

Bai Zhong thought about it and agreed.

When she arrived at Qinqing's house, she couldn't help it at first, hugged Bai Zhong again, felt the breath of a man shrouded in her, her body was soft, soft and boneless, and she was a little intoxicated.

"Madame, you are like this, there is something wrong."

Bai Zhong had no choice but to say.

Qin Qing lowered his head and said softly: "I also know that it is wrong, but I don't know when it started, there is only one general in my mind, if I am still Yu'er's age, I will definitely take the initiative to pursue the general, but unfortunately I am old now." ”

She is in her thirties, in this era, she is indeed very old, and she has died of a husband, and her reputation is not very good.

The status of businessmen has never been very high.

With that, Qin Qing let go of his hand.

Bai Zhong was a little embarrassed, looked at her quietly for a while, scratched his head and said, "Madame has nothing else to do, then I'll go back first." ”

Qin Qing nodded slightly, and sent Bai Zhong out of the gate again, and the stirring heart slowly calmed down.

Walking out of Qin Qing's house, Bai Zhong thought in his heart that he was about to become Boss Cao.

——

In the next time, Bai Zhong had to prepare for the expedition.

An army of 400,000 is now to be recruited from all over the country.

Among them, there are 50,000 people, who are the guards of Wuguan, and of course Wuguan will have the need to fight.

Fifty thousand people came out of Hangu Pass, and another 50,000 were selected from Li Xin's defeated soldiers, and the rest were newly recruited soldiers, who still needed a certain amount of training before they could go to the battlefield.

The expedition is a word, but the preparation behind it is not so easy.

Bai Zhong is only in charge of recruit training, and the person who really prepares everything behind the scenes is still the national lieutenant.

More than a month later, inside the Lantian camp.

"General Bai, 100,000 people have already been sent to each county."

Wei Yu opened a roster, which was densely filled with words, all of which were the details of the conscription sent by the counties of Daqin, and said: "The remaining 150,000 will take half a month, and at present, it will be sent to the Lantian camp first, and you need to be personally responsible for the training of the troops." ”

Bai Zhong nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, but among these recruits, are they all from our Qin, or are there some people from the former Three Jins?" ”

Wei Yu looked at the roster for a while, and said: "There are 100,000 people, selected from the Three Jin Dynasty, among which the Zhao people are the most, General Bai does not need to worry about the chaos of the Three Jin Dynasty, they are all Li Shu, and they dare not make trouble, especially the former Zhao people." ”

"When Zhao was destroyed, there was a great drought in Zhao State, and General Bai proposed to distribute grain to Zhao State Li Shu."

"They all remember the benefits of General White."

"Later, the king ordered that a large amount of grain be sent to Zhao State, and those Li Shu had the strongest sense of belonging to Daqin."

"As for Han Wei, it adds up to about 30,000 people, which is not a climate."

Since he dares to recruit troops from Sanjin, Wei Yi will definitely do a good job of coordination, and there will be no accidents.

Bai Zhong arched his hand and said, "Trouble the national captain." ”

Wei Yi laughed and said, "What I do is a trivial matter, why bother?" General Bai led his troops to battle and conquered the world for Daqin, doing a lot more than me, by the way, in terms of grain and grass, the internal history of Su is almost prepared, do you want to go and see it? ”

"It's good!"

Bai Zhong also needs to coordinate the logistics of the army, as the commander of the army, it is not just as easy to lead the troops to fight.

The two of them soon came to the baggage camp of the barracks.

The food of the army is temporarily placed here, and then deployed according to the needs, which are generally transported in advance, and then continuously replenished to the battlefield according to the length of time required for the war.

Within the scope of the current Qin State, there is no longer a shortage of grain, as Feng Qujian said before, there is so much grain that even the granary is almost impossible to store, and the war can just consume part of the old grain, and vacate the grain and grass to store new grain.

"Vonneshi!"

Wei Yu saw that Feng Quji happened to be there, so he stepped forward and said.

Feng Qu hurriedly said: "It turned out to be the national lieutenant and the general, in terms of grain and grass, I have already completed the preparations, I don't know how the generals are going to deploy?" ”

Bai Zhong decided to send troops from Nanjun first, and said, "Can you transport all the grain and grass to Nanjun first?" ”

"Of course it's no problem, I'll arrange it for the general tomorrow."

Feng Qujian looked at the granary behind him, and said: "Here is an army of 400,000, three months' worth of grain, you need to send it out in advance, otherwise you won't be able to keep up with the speed of the army." ”

The three armies did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

It takes longer to transport food than it does on the march.

Bai Zhong said: "This matter, trouble Feng Neishi!" ”

For the rest of the year, Bai Zhong stayed in the barracks.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month has passed.

The rest of the soldiers gathered in the Lantian camp.

For some recruits, it will take several months of training before they can go to the battlefield.

Bai Zhong gathered his subordinates and trained in the Lantian camp first.

Wang Jian has already sent his home to enjoy his happiness, and the position of general is vacant.

The Lantian battalion, which is currently in charge of the general Meng Wu, also facilitates their military training.

Before you know it, it's June.

Ying Zheng seemed to be a little impatient, and wanted to save face from the first defeat, and couldn't wait to send troops.

In mid-June, he summoned Bai Zhong into the palace and asked when he could fight?

"The grain and grass of the 400,000 army has been sent to Nanjun, and the recruits are almost trained, and they can basically go to battle, just waiting for the king's order."

Bai Zhong responded.

Ying Zheng pondered and said: "The widow will give Bai Qing another half a month, and he will fight in early July, and in this half a month, by the way, the matter of you and Shu'er's marriage will be done." ”

Bai Zhong bowed down and said, "Thank you, King!" ”

Ying Zheng laughed: "Bai Qing is polite, in the future, in private, you can just call me eldest brother like Shu'er." ”

"Don't dare!"

How can Bai Zhong agree casually, there are still rules.

Ying Zheng just liked Bai Zhong's performance, and said: "Bai Qing doesn't need to trouble when it comes to getting married, the widow will send someone to help you prepare, but take Fusu to the battlefield, you need to pay attention to his safety." ”

At this point, even if he didn't need to remind him, Bai Zhong would pay attention to it, and said, "Even if I lose my life, Childe will not be in any danger." ”

"The widow believes in Bai Qing."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked Bai Zhong to leave first.

Next, he officially announced to the public that the time of the second expedition to destroy Chu would be.

The time of the expedition of the army was set for the first day of the seventh month.
