There are expectations, there are blessings, and there are curses.

Quickly rose up, became the new favorite of the Great Qin Dynasty's eldest grandson, and went out to fight against the Huns, many people naturally had different thoughts. But these are not important to Zhao Ying.

There is the first emperor, there is the old general Wang Jian is here, there is Meng Wu, there are old clans such as Meng Xibai, and there are those forces that still firmly support the eldest son Fusu, even if some people are careful, no one dares to play any tricks behind their backs.

With the fine willows that Wang Nan personally folded, and with the scrutinizing eyes of countless people behind him, the young army led by Zhao Ying finally left Xianyang and went straight to Jiuyuan.

This was the first long trip since the formation of the recruit battalion.

On that day, the pace of the march was not very fast, and in the evening, they set up camp in the field for a simple rest. Although it is located in Guanzhong and is very safe, Zhao Ying still makes people watch, meticulously set up camp, and strictly arranges defense.

The next morning, he continued to set off, and when it was close to evening, he officially walked out of the Xianyang boundary.

Out of Xianyang, he is still located in Guanzhong, but he can clearly feel the tired state of people's livelihood. The official road is still very neat, but the villages on both sides no longer have the weather near Xianyang, and the ruins are still faintly visible.

Great Qin's decades of conquest, although it unified the world, still had an irreparable impact on the livelihood of the people in Guanzhong, and many people were dressed in rags.

But the crops on both sides of the official road are still planted neatly.

The government of Daqin made a strong intervention in the lives of the people. The road is regularly maintained, the trees on both sides, the spacing has strict regulations, the fields, the distance is connected, strict to the same as the stalks between each field, all the crops are planted horizontally and vertically, like a pacesetter.

How to plant and what to plant, there are special officials to supervise and guide.

No matter how big or small, there are laws to follow.

The common people don't have to care about anything, they only need to follow the regulations of the government, work honestly and finish the work, and the concept of Legalism can be said to be vividly embodied.

It has been more than 100 years since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, and the people of Guanzhong have already been trained to look like the Great Qin Legalists.

But the nobles and people of Shandong, without the buffer of these times, are a little unadaptable.

This is also the first time Zhao Ying went out after the crossing, although he tried to avoid villages and towns all the way and only took the official road, but everything he saw still made him have a deeper understanding of this era.

But these are not the questions he should think about now.

The third day out of Xianyang.

Zhao Ying ordered that the logistics department made more than ten catties of fried noodles for each of the soldiers, and then, leaving behind the auxiliary soldiers in charge of logistics, everyone only brought their own equipment and rations, one person and three horses, and carried out a rapid march.

He needs to take advantage of this opportunity to do a high-intensity stretch.

When you are hungry, you eat a few bites of fried noodles, nibble on a few bites of dry and hard jerky, and when you are tired, you find a leeward place, circle the war horses together, and everyone wraps themselves in cloaks, lies on the ground, and has a simple rest.

Other than that, it's a hurry.

Change horses without changing people, and soar more than 260 miles in one day.

This speed, although in this era, is already jaw-dropping, but in fact, it is not an exaggeration.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a clear provision that the Lu Yi fast horse walked 6 posts a day, that is, 180 miles, and then 300 miles a day, and the fastest required 500 miles a day. Of course, marching and fighting a war is not as good as a post post, and it is necessary to consider the physical wear and tear of war horses.

Otherwise, the people will arrive, and the horses will be tired, and there will be no meaning.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Xiahoudun had five hundred in three days and one thousand in six days, and was known as the general of the swift movement. But the situation of Zhao Ying and others is much better than that of Xiahoudun at the beginning, first of all, there are enough war horses, and everyone is one person and three horses, and they can be rotated and ridden, and the speed is naturally faster.

Moreover, Zhao Ying's army, all of them were equipped with Takahashi saddles, stirrups, and all the war horses were also equipped with horseshoes. Compared with Xiahoudun's time, although there were more trips, the physical consumption of the soldiers was smaller, and the loss of the war horses was much better.

What's more, these armies of Zhao Ying, in the past few months, have been full of meat and food every day!

This group of young men who are growing their bodies, with big fish and meat every day, high-intensity training, and an excellent physical foundation, are far from comparable to those of Xiahoudun's subordinates.

Therefore, these young people, who had been training in the recruit camp, quickly adapted to the intensity of this rapid march.

On the contrary, Xiao He, Liu Ji, Cao Shen, Lu Juan and others, who only joined the army later, had some insufficient support, but when they saw everyone, no one complained of hardship, no one shouted tired, and they could only grit their teeth and hold on.

"Isn't this going to the funeral in a hurry, Cao Shen, a dog thief, can kill Lao Tzu——"

Taking advantage of the break, Liu Datingchang, supported by Lu Juan and Fan Xu, slid off the horse with grinned teeth. After a few days of rapid marching, blood blisters had been grinding out between his two strands.

This is fortunate to have a high-strength saddle and stirrups, as well as the help of Fan Xu, Lu Juan and others, otherwise with the intensity of this rapid march, he would have to be defeated halfway.

Unlike other people under Zhao Ying, Liu Ji neglects to exercise on weekdays, and he is a little older, so he can't stand it.

But unfortunately, Zhao Ying, who is the main general, is silent, Li Xin, who is older than him, if nothing happens, he Liu Dating is not qualified to shout tired, even if he has, he can't afford to lose that person. But in private, I have already greeted the eighteenth generation of Cao Shen's ancestors countless times in my heart.

If it weren't for Cao Shen's dog thief who recommended him, why would he have suffered this sin?

The family has just married a delicate little lady!

It's not hot enough—

Find a leeward place, carefully pick up the blood blisters grinding out on both thighs, grin on the ground with gold sore medicine, and then lie down on the dirt slope behind him with a curse, close your eyes, and seize the time to rest.

Xiao He and Cao Shen on the side are not much better than him, when the two of them were originally in Pei County, they were both civil servants, where did they suffer this crime. However, unlike Chief Liu Dating's complaint, the two of them were shocked in their hearts while being tired.

Have you ever heard of anyone's army that can travel more than 260 miles a day as if nothing happened?

It's appalling.

This army is somewhat scary!

Therefore, in addition to being extremely tired in the body, there is some inexplicable heat in my heart.

is also a little tired, and Han Xin-

When he was in Huaiyin in his early years, he often couldn't eat, so although he was tall, he was actually very weak, although after joining the barracks, he ate enough meat every day and exercised a lot, but compared with other young people, his physical strength was still somewhat insufficient.

There is no difference on weekdays, and once he marches at high intensity, his physical strength is obviously a little unable to keep up.

But his performance is far from being comparable to Liu Ji and Xiao He.

From beginning to end, he was straight and did not say a word.

Everywhere he went, he deployed his men as usual, inspected the camp, and then curled up in his cloak, closed his eyes, and seized every time to rest.

Fortunately, the original more than 100 disciples under him, except for a few who were originally good at martial arts and hoped that they could stay in the army, most of them, including Kuaitong, were left in Xianyang by Zhao Ying.

Now, Zhao Ying has opened a mansion, and the eldest son's mansion can't be left without anyone to deal with daily affairs, and the resourceful Kuaitong was left in the mansion by Zhao Ying.

Otherwise, with the intensity of this march, those people may not be able to hold out.

Unlike other people's tiredness, Zhao Ying had no feeling for such a marching intensity, and even wore armor weighing more than 100 catties all the time. The only thing that was abnormal about him compared to ordinary soldiers was that he ate too much.

Even if you control the amount of food, you need at least a dozen catties of meat for a meal.

This forced him to hunt some game from time to time during the march.

By mistake, because of this, his prestige in this team has increased day by day, almost reaching its peak, and now, the whole team, up and down, looks at him as if they are looking at him.

Even Liu Ji, who has always been arrogant, has to say admiration in his heart.

No way, Zhao Ying's way of hunting is a bit inhuman.

The five-stone strong bow given by the first emperor himself, hundreds of steps away, even if he hit a hundred shots, the key is that sometimes he is interested, he doesn't use a bow and arrows at all, jumps directly from the chariot, wears an armor weighing more than 100 catties, and runs all the way.

The wind is galloping, and the whole person is like a humanoid lightning, and the speed is incredible.

Not to mention wild beasts, galloping horses are far behind.

The mountain beasts that ordinary people have a warm voice and change color, in front of him, are weak like little chickens, kneading at will.

Especially, when everyone watched him hold a tiger weighing hundreds of pounds with his bare hands, and then dragged it back with one hand with the fur on his head, everyone's eyes completely changed.

Although I have long heard that the emperor's eldest grandson has the ability to Bo Xiong, but when I heard rumors and saw it with my own eyes, it was two completely different sensory impacts.

Mu Qiang in the army.

His own main general, strong to the extent of being like a god, as a subordinate, who doesn't like it?

Why did Xiang Yu have such a high prestige in the army back then?

A large part of the reason is that his personal force is too strong!

All his subordinates regard him as a god of war!

Now, Zhao Ying's situation is almost like this.

Don't say that those ordinary soldiers, even if Li Xin is well-informed, he was taken aback by Zhao Ying's performance, is this still a person?

Therefore, Zhao Ying's order is unimpeded and executed, without any discount.

After a short rest, the army set out again. With the help of Fan Hao and Lu Xuan, Liu Ji gritted his teeth and climbed onto the war horse again, grabbed the reins and cursed fiercely.

"Lao Tzu has spent time with you—"

This time, it's too miserable, if you can't get the credit again, then it's really a loss, and Lao Tzu must not go back empty-handed.

Rapid march, in just four days, ran more than a thousand miles!

Therefore, on the eighth day after leaving Xianyang, when Zhao Ying led the army of more than 3,000 and appeared under the city of Shangjun, Wang Ben, the main general in the city, was stupid.

I almost thought it was some kind of enemy raid.

What is this marching speed?

You know, the post station passed through the gallop road, and the message just came!

According to the normal pace of marching, it is not an exaggeration to walk from Xianyang to Shangjun for a month, even if it is faster, it will have to be in the early twenties. Zhao Ying: How long did it take them?

Eight days!

It's unimaginable!

"How did you get here so quickly?"

Even if he came out of the city and saw Zhao Ying, Li Xin, Wang Li and others with his own eyes, Wang Ben still couldn't help but look surprised, raised his head slightly, and looked at Zhao Ying, who was tall and different from ordinary people, in disbelief.

Wang Ben had naturally seen Zhao Ying before, but in recent months, Zhao Ying has developed a little fast, growing more than 20 centimeters, and now he has become a young man more than two meters tall, more than a head taller than him, and it looks full of a strong sense of visual oppression.

What's more, compared with the handsome-looking Fusu, Zhao Ying is more similar to the First Emperor in appearance, not only in appearance, but also in height!

The height of the First Emperor was close to two meters.

Moreover, because during this time, Zhao Ying and the First Emperor got along day and night, in order to gain the favor of the First Emperor, Zhao Ying's every move was subconsciously imitating the First Emperor, so Zhao Ying at this time, at a glance, looked like a young version of the First Emperor, standing there, not angry and arrogant. When he spoke, his tone and expression all carried the charm of the first emperor.

Even if he is an old man, he can't help but subconsciously be in awe.

"These young people, day and night drills, the degree of hard work, far beyond ordinary people, and His Royal Highness is generous to them, three meals a day, full of meat, so, everyone is in good health, plus this trip, another person and three horses, can take turns to ride, the speed is naturally not comparable to ordinary armies......"

Without Zhao Ying's answer, Li Xin, who was standing behind Zhao Ying, stood up and replied indifferently.

This army grew up under his nose.

He had never seen such a hard-working soldier, nor had he ever seen such a proactive soldier, in this group of people, he seemed to see himself when he was young.

In his eyes, everyone in this is Daqin's baby bump.

There is also his Li Xin's hard work in this.

Therefore, when it comes to these, he is honored and can't help the pride in his heart. As a general, if you can bring out such an army in your life, you can be proud of your life.

Looking at Li Xin, who had regained his former vigor in his eyes, Wang Ben couldn't help laughing.

"Good! It is worthy of the soldiers and horses brought out by His Highness and General Li personally! ”

With that, turn sideways and get out of the way.

"Please enter the castle with Your Highness and the general—"

Zhao Ying waved his hand, and the army automatically adjusted its formation and marched in, and the neat and tacit natural movements made Wang Ben can't help but shine again.

Everyone is a veteran who has led the army for many years, so it is natural to see how strong the discipline of this army is.

Although these people have experienced high-intensity long-distance running, they are all bright-eyed, full of energy, and their bodies are straight and motionless like mountains.

This performance alone is enough to be called an elite soldier in the world!

"Awesome—"

Wang Ben couldn't help but sigh again.

"It's really terrifying, in just a few months, to be able to train such a strong soldier, His Royal Highness's ability to lead soldiers, the minister might as well be-"

Zhao Ying couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and smiled at the old man.

"The general praised it falsely, and if you are given so many resources, you can also bring out such a ......"

It looks magical, but in fact, this thing really doesn't have any special skills, it's just smashed with money!

For this army, the support of the first emperor's open mouth, coupled with Zhao Ying's own private subsidies, this battalion of more than 3,000 recruits, the money and food consumed are enough to support an army of 100,000!

This is not counting the art of war provided by Zhao Ying, as well as the labor cost of Zhao Ying and Li Xin personally teaching the art of war.
