Chapter 133: Eastbound
"Haha, I didn't expect this Zuo Shu Chang to be such a selfless person, I admire what I said."
After officially accepting the appointment, Yang Xiong, who became the lord of two or five hundred, was very happy.
He smiled at Zhao Tuo and Zhao Ben, "Two Zhao Five Hundred Lords, you are my subordinates in the palace, and you are still under my control in this military camp, no opinion?"
Zhao Ben's title is one level lower, but he is just a doctor, so naturally there is nothing to say.
Although Zhao Tuo was smiling on his face, he was actually disgusted in his heart.
This Huan Zhao.
What a son of man!
Originally, being a five-hundred-hundred-lord in the military camp was normal for Zhao Tuo.
Even the dignified Zuo Shu Chang deigned to be demoted and came to be a military marquis, and the two five doctors went to be two or five hundred masters like the public passengers.
He Zhao Tuo is young and young, his title is the same as that of other dukes, and compared with Yang Xiong, Zhao Tuo has no other advantages except for participating in the war against Yan.
Take a step back in normal competition and be a 500 master is nothing.
But who would have thought that Huan Zhao was so disgusting, on the surface, he praised Zhao Tuo, but in fact, he stepped on Zhao Tuo to show his fairness and selflessness.
also compared Zhao Tuo to a "horse suit" in his words, and finally said that whoever dares to break the law, he will not distinguish between relatives and relatives, and will not show favoritism, these words all imply threats.
In the military tent, not everyone is an iron man like Yang Xiong.
Many people understood the meaning of Huan Zhao's words, and looked at Zhao Tuo's eyes full of banter.
In the military, it's not a good thing to have a boss who doesn't like you.
Fortunately, Huan Zhao didn't do it too obviously, he assigned Zhao Tuo to Yang Xiong, which was a little kind.
Although this appointment made Zhao Tuo feel disgusted, it was not without joy.
"Ah Tuo...... Ah, no, it's time to call the five hundred lords, hehe, my black-butted doctor is here again."
The black buttocks stood in front of Zhao Tuo with a smile, and next to him, there were also two people, Shima and Xi Qigu.
The Qin state implemented a conscription system, but also encouraged the soldiers to join the army on their own initiative.
After all, those who take the initiative to enlist in the army are far better in morale and combat effectiveness than those who are forcibly recruited.
When Shima and Black Buttocks separated from Zhao Tuo, they had made an agreement that if Zhao Tuo went to the battlefield, he would definitely inform them.
Zhao Tuo sent the letter as promised, and the two also came.
"Your hatred?"
"It's reported, it's fine."
Shibu smiled, and his face was devoid of his previous depression.
Zhao Tuo nodded, and his gaze fell on Xi Qigu.
"I've seen Zhao Jun, and Xi Qigu is willing to work for Zhao Jun." The West beggar bowed alone.
"Okay, let's all come out of Gengshi's robes, and we should work together!"
Zhao Tuo smiled and reached out to help Xi Qigu.
The arrival of Xi Qigu was something Zhao Tuo did not expect.
According to Xi Qigu, he has been paying attention to Zhao Tuo and others since he returned to his hometown.
He also took advantage of his position to send a message to the black buttocks, if he wanted to go to the battlefield, he must be called, he was willing to follow Zhao Tuo desperately.
This township official also has great ambitions.
Xiqigu wants to restore the glory of Xiqi and regain the glory of his ancestors.
Zhao Tuo is the person he fancies.
Xi Qigu believes that by following the young man in front of him, he will be able to fulfill the wishes of the ancestors of the clan.
Zhao Tuo is very happy, how can a newcomer be as good as an old person.
With the help of these three former right-hand men, he will definitely have a lot of help in this battle against Wei.
Without hesitation, Zhao Tuo immediately appointed Shima and Hei Buttocks, who had the title of doctor, as a hundred generals, and Xi Qigu was appointed as the commander of the short army.
At the level of five hundred lords, you can have a short guard of fifty people.
After the reorganization of the 5,000-strong Guanzhong Qin army in the barracks was completed, a thousand soldiers from Hanzhong County and about 5,000 prisoners and slaves also arrived.
The Qin soldiers in Guanzhong were speechless.
"These savages
What kind of bird language are you talking about?"
This is a complaint from the black buttocks, although the others don't say it, but the expressions on their faces are the same.
The land of Hanzhong originally belonged to the state of Chu, which was captured by attacking Chu when King Huiwen of Qin was in power, and Hanzhong County was set up.
Its land is located in the north of Daba Mountain and south of the Qinling Mountains, where there are many savages.
Many of the Hanzhong people who crossed the Qinling Mountains this time were barbarians with their hair and animal skins, and they could smell a stench from afar.
They were shouting in tongues that no one could understand, and they couldn't communicate at all.
Since the arrival of the Hanzhong army, the 10,000 prisoners and subordinates in Guanzhong have also been recruited.
In the camp, there was a crowd of people, and black flags fluttered in the wind.
In this way, everything is ready, and the army sets off directly.
Zuo Shu is long and high-spirited.
Standing on the chariot, he commanded 5,000 Qin troops and 1,000 Han soldiers, escorted a total of 15,000 prisoners and subordinates, lined up in a long line, and headed east.
The army went all the way out of Hangu Pass and set foot on the boundary of Sanchuan County.
The black-rumped horse galloped on the road, shouting at his hundreds of men to be on guard to prevent bold criminals from seeking an opportunity to escape. Although the army is on the side, and those who dare to escape are basically dead words, there are always fanatics who are lucky in the world.
Ever since the car accident in Yandi, Black Buttocks watched Zhao Tuo and Shima ride horses to chase and kill Yan Dan, and he secretly made up his mind to learn equestrianism.
He got a lot of money in the war, and after he went back, he really bought a horse and learned equestrianism for several months, although he was not as good as Zhao Tuo, but he could also race horses on the road, and he was worthy of his identity as a black-buttocked doctor.
"Five hundred lords, I heard that it's not just our group of savages in Guanzhong and Hanzhong. Even these three Sichuan counties, and even the counties of Hedong, Hanoi, and Shangdang, are also recruiting prisoners and subordinates."
"You said that we would fight the Wei State, and if we didn't send a large army to press on it, we would destroy it directly, and drive these prisoners and slaves to the Wei State, why did you do it?"
"Let these slaves fill the ravines in the girders?"
Black Buttocks was a little curious, although the Qin army sometimes let prisoners and slaves assist the army to attack the city.
But there are too many people in front of them, and they are several times more than their main pawns.
This way of war is completely different from what Black Buttocks saw in Yandi, and his heart was full of doubts.
Not only the black buttocks, but even Shijian, Xi Qigu, and even many military officials in the Qin army didn't know what the king wanted to do by recruiting so many prisoners and slaves.
After all, they were born in the countryside, and even if they were a small official, it was difficult for them to look beyond the county. Although Shima has a strong military instinct, it is difficult to see the general trend of the world due to his knowledge.
Compared with everyone's confusion, Zhao Tuo knew very well the true purpose of their trip.
He looked ahead, and the 15,000 convict slaves lined up in a long snake, under the protection of the 6,000 Qin army, slowly moving forward.
These people are not used to attack the city.
Even the 6,000 Qin troops who were in charge of escorting them would probably not be sent to the battlefield by the main general Wang Ben.
This escort of convict slaves had another purpose.
Because of the urgency of the military situation, the army led by Huan Zhao escorted the prisoners all the way, and even did not stop when passing by Luoyi, the former capital of the Zhou Dynasty, and traveled all the way east.
In less than half a month, this Qin army and convict slaves from Guanzhong arrived at the foot of Daliang City.
Hiss......
The scene under the city of Daliang made everyone gasp.
In addition to the 50,000 soldiers from Huaiyang, the entire Daliang City has been surrounded by nearly 100,000 prisoners and slaves at this moment.
These prisoner slaves came from all over the Qin State, and they were all escorted and requisitioned here.
Under the spur of the soldiers, they held hoes and shovels in their hands, digging between the city of Daliang and the chasm.
Zhao Tuo's gaze swept over the heads of these prisoners and turned to the north.
There, a great river rushes......
