The fatwa for the conscription of prisoners was again sent to the counties, this time to recruit 30,000 men to form an expeditionary force to fight in other countries. Along with the order for the requisition of prisoners, there was an order for the requisition of officials at all levels.

The commander of the three armies was Hu Yang, and the three five doctors included Wang Yi, Wang Ling, and Sima Jin. As a result of the disaster and the death of livestock in the five counties of Beidi County, each county was allowed to produce 1,000 strong men, who had already come to Xianyang several months earlier to be trained in the barracks.

After the whole day, a middle-aged man followed Zhang Lu out of the palace gate and came to Zhang Lu's car. Zhang Lu introduced Mang Wei and Chen Si: "In the middle of Hu Yang. Today, there is something to discuss, and the two of you will take the car back to the house to order the preparation of wine and meat. I'm here with me. ”

Mang Wei and Chen Si saluted and boarded the car. Zhang Lu and Hu Yang took the same car, and then slowed down.

Hu Yang said to Zhang Lu: "Are the two, that is, Chen Si, and do nothing?" ”

Zhang Lu said: "Yes! Is it also famous? ”

Hu Yang said: "Wuwei won the three lords with the merit of assisting and went to the hairpin, and Chen Si won the four lords with the merit of the mountains and rivers and did not change." One thing and the third and fourth jukes, since Wu Anjun, Qin has not heard of it. Xianyang coaxed the rumor, it is to know. Asked, they are all guests. There are guests like this, which shows that they are talented! ”

Zhang Lu said: "It's even more wrong! Wuwei and Chen Sifei's guests are the guests of the doctor Zheng Anping! ”

Hu Yang exclaimed: "Zheng is not a guest of the door? ”

Zhang Lu said: "I am also a gentleman and a minister, and I am also a friend. In the past, in Daliang, he inherited the benefits of the Zheng family, and he got today. Now I am rich and rich, and I dare not forget it. Everyone in the court knows that the ministers let the doctor and Anping, but they don't know that Anping is in Wanxian, and he enters Qin with martial arts, and the royal and shooting are excellent. If it is capable, it is not low to be knighted. Those who are allowed by the ministers are really more than enough! ”

Hu Yang said: "He Keqing's disciples, the virtuous and talented people!" ”

Zhang Lu said: "The minister is in Daliang, diving deep in the wilderness, and he knows that the tiger and the dragon are everywhere." Humiliated in the home of Haoqiang, and survived between dying. If the king uses it, why worry about the big things and not stand up! ”

Hu Yang said: "The son and the minister are all foreign ministers, and they are unheard of in their homeland. Now it is used for Qin also, each has made meritorious deeds, established a knighthood, and is above everyone. Why can't the soil be used, but used for Qin Ye? ”

Zhang Lu said: "The minister also thinks about it. Qin's victory is in strict law. Subordinate to the Kanto region, he heard that Qin's laws were strict, and he was often afraid of being blamed at every turn. Once you enter Qin, you know the Qin law and the good law. Collect the good policies of the world, and write them in simple policies, and make them public in Qiantou. The deeds of the fools of this state are the gains of the wise men of the nation, and if they cultivate in this way, the land will be abundant; If you work in this way, you will be fine; If the army is raised in this way, the formation will be unorganized; Fight with this, and you will be invincible. Non-subordinate power can also do it! ”

Hu Yang said: "The words of the son are yes. The son and the minister are all foreign ministers, and the countries of the Kanto region are neither relatives nor nobles, and it is still difficult to survive, and what is the situation of meritorious deeds? Not so with Yu Qin! Alone in Qin, once as a prince, to the law, the Qin people do not believe in the ministers who are not relatives, and are not afraid of the power of the ministers. It is forbidden to do so, although father and son cannot match. There is nothing else in this state. The wise man is here, although he has few children, no relatives, and no wealth, and he has the right way to do it, although he is poor and lowly, he has nothing to hinder; Lost his way and retreated, although his relatives had nothing to avoid. It is the story that must be completed, the achievement must be established, and the industry must be built. ”

Along the way, the two talked about Qin Law, and each expressed their opinions, and both thought that Qin Law's interests were obvious, which was very different from what they had heard in Kanto. The two play each other, talk loudly, and are deeply regarded as confidants.

When he arrived at Zheng Anping's room, Zheng Anping was already standing outside the door, and Chen Si and Mang Wei were standing behind him.

Hu Yang naturally knew that Zhang Lu lived in Zheng Anping's house, and although Chen Si and Mangwei's house was built, the two had no family members and did not go back to live, and still lived in Zheng Anping's house. More importantly, Zhang Lu still lives in Zheng Anping's house, and the main job of the two of them is to assist Zhang Lu, such as driving him to the court in the morning and chatting with him at night. I have to go back to my own house, and I can't do anything.

Hu Yang looks much younger than Zhang Lu. The two got out of the car, and Mangwei took the car. Zhang Lu introduced the three of them and greeted each other. Zhang Lu said: "Alone in Qin, everything is not thoughtful, and the humiliation is even more. ”

Hu Yang said: "The son still has the support of the second and third sons, the minister is alone, the car and the horse are coming, and no one takes the car!" ”

After entering the hall, Zhang Lu beckoned the three of them to sit down, Gai Nie helped his mother cook in the back, and Wuwang was naturally busy in the field: although the autumn harvest had passed, good field management was essential for a good harvest next year.

Zheng Anping offered the wild chrysanthemum tea he learned from Chen Si, which reminded Hu Yang of his childhood, and sighed, bringing everyone closer together.

After drinking, Hu Yang said to the three people: "The ministers are ordered by the king to go to the party and lead the Qin and Han armies together to defeat Zhaoyi." I specially invite the guest to teach, and I am willing to get the help of the second and third sons. ”

Before this, Zhang Lu revealed to the three of them that Hu Yang wanted to ask everyone to assist him in leading the army to defeat Zhao. This time to attack Zhao, it is the alliance of Qin and Han and Wei, Mang Wei is the Mang family, he has accompanied Mang Mao to attend some diplomatic activities, if he comes out, he may be recognized by the Koreans, so in fact, it has been decided, Zheng Anping and Chen Si will go together. Zheng Anping saw Hu Yang speak, peeked at Zhang Lu, and saw Zhang Lu nodding secretly, so he said: "The minister is not changing, so Wei Wushu is also willing to be driven by Zhongzhong." The hairpin temporarily stayed in the house and waited for the monarch. ”

Hu Yang said: "Yang is lucky, with the help of the second gentleman." Although the second monarch is a doctor and does not change, he does not dare to order him to go to the army, he is willing to enter the curtain and ask for advice sooner or later! ”

Zheng Anping said: "We, a brave martial artist, dare to accept the invitation of the middle school." I would like to be a pawn under the tent. ”

Hu Yang said: "The minister is alone in Qin, and there is no one to support him. Therefore, every time you go out, you must ask the sages under the public secretary to help. Fortunately, Keqing did not give up and succumbed to the two gentlemen. The ministers are full of feelings! ”

The two sides exchanged some kind words, and breakfast was served. There are five people in the hall, each of whom has a tripod and a stick, plus a small basket of vegetables and a small plate of sauce. Several people saluted each other and ate once.

Unlike the Wei State, which had its own weapons, the weapons of the Qin soldiers were all drawn from the arsenal. This saves a lot of trouble, adds a lot of formalities, and takes a lot of time. Zheng Anping and Chen Si came from Rong as staff members of the Central Guard, and the weapons were not collected from the county arsenal, but from the Qin Palace arsenal. Although the Qin Palace's arsenal is of high rank, there are also many people who receive it: the pro-battalions of officers at all levels above the rank of public doctor receive weapons in the Qin Palace's arsenal.

Although Hu Yang is a middle watchman, he is not from the army and does not have his own camp. He could only ask the noble lord to borrow some personnel to help. Some prisoners were temporarily transferred as their own camps. This is different from the fact that Keqing has raised many people.

While waiting to receive the ordnance, Zheng Anping and Chen Si had already reported to Hu Yang's mansion, and Hu Yang arranged for the people who came to report to handle various matters in order to examine their talents.

With the assistance of the soldiers of Huayang Junfu, Gongzi Xuan has penetrated deep into the interior of the Zhao Kingdom. The internal movements of Zhao State were sent by Gongzi to Luoyang once every five days by water, and then to Xianyang. Therefore, the Xianyang direction has a clear grasp of Zhao Guo's movements.

Zhao did not cede the city to Han and Wei, and the two countries sent troops to attack Zhao under the lure and threat of Qin.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the people from the wealthy families arrived, and they all received their ordnance, Hu Yang and everyone feasted and admired the moon, and entered the military camp the next day.

Unlike Keqingzao, who placed the assembly place of the prisoners of the Ministry of Internal History in Shaanxi County, Hu Yang set the assembly place on the bank of the Weishui River in Lantian County. Fried corn from all over the country was transported to the barracks, not to the county seats. The lieutenant of Lantian County led 500 prisoners to temporarily become Hu Yang's pro-camp, and ordered them to be sent to all parts of the Qin State through the post stations in Lantian County.

In addition to the Ministry of Internal History, the five thousand people of the Northern Land Department had already assembled in Xianyang, and now they were ordered to go to Lantian to prepare the military camp. Nanyang County and Nanjun were also requisitioned and asked to assemble in Luoyang with the Korean army.

As soon as October passed, prisoners from all over the country moved and marched to Lantian from all over the country.

In Hu Yang's military camp, Zheng Anping truly experienced the strictness of the Qin people's laws. Hu Yang's order was carried out without any delay, and even the wealthy Gao Di did not show any resistance. The entire barracks was running in an orderly manner, condensing the forces gathered from all over the country into a huge sword, extremely sharp and shining! The sword bearer is Hu Yang, who is in the upper position.

However, on the 10th, the army was assembled, and the sword was sharpened, and a group marched towards Hangu Pass. After the order was issued, Hu Yang arrived at Hangu Pass first to arrange for the exit from the customs; Others from the shogunate went to Shaanxi County to arrange for the transit of the army.

The Qin army passed through Hangu, passed through Shaanxi County, and fought in the eastern part of the country, which was already a common routine. Both the defenders of Hangu Pass and the officials of Shaanxi County were very familiar with this process, and ordinary people were not surprised.

The former county lieutenant of Shaanxi County was promoted to Tao Lieutenant, and the new Shaanxi lieutenant had only been in office for a few months, and he was about to lead 500 prisoners in Shaanxi County to go on another expedition. Hu Yang sent Bai Qi's retainers to Shaanxi County, and after the army sent a letter to Guguan, they would camp in Shaanxi County and urge Shaanxi County to arrange a camp.

The 30,000 prisoners, together with 40,000 officials at all levels, as well as thousands of high-ranking officers' pro-battalions and other auxiliaries, needed to provide for about 50,000 people. Of course, these 50,000 men did not march together, but divided into three armies, separated by a day from each other. In this way, the army behind can advance in turn according to the road explored by the front army, and avoid the pain of finding the way and setting up camp; But on the other hand, you have to endure the filth left by the former army. Although Hu Yang issued a strict order that the feces must be dug and buried, the smell of urine is also appreciative.

The Chinese army was the most bloated, with not only a large number of troops, but also a large number of baggage, using about a thousand pack horses or donkeys. Because he knew that the area of the battle was Shangdang, and Hu Yang had already sneaked into the area early to investigate, where the roads were narrow and rugged, and the vehicles could not pass at all, so they could only carry the things they had to carry on the backs of the cattle and let people lead them, which not only increased the logistical burden, but also reduced the amount of transportation. Once on the battlefield, Hu Yang must fight quickly and not protracted!
