Chapter 494: The Great War is about to begin

Hangu Pass, the atmosphere is becoming more and more solemn, every day there are countless scouts out of the pass to the east, and there are countless people returning with news.

Correspondingly, there were countless carriages from Chang'an in the west, loaded with armor and equipment, and entered the pass.

There are less than ten days left in the two months since Lin Ze's promise, and a feeling called nervousness is pressing on the hearts of millions of people in the Guan, except for Lin Ze.

At this moment, in addition to the 700,000 army belonging to Lin Ze and the 200,000 people, there are still nearly 500,000 private troops from various families.

In order to get a piece of the pie after the successful counterinsurgency, the magnates led by Meng Xibai can be regarded as doing their best for this purpose, crisscrossing the 800-mile Chang'an territory, except for the forbidden army, almost all the miscellaneous armies, all of them have been gathered.

This is still because two months is relatively less, otherwise these powerful people don't mind stretching their hands a little longer.

For example, the border army.

When Emperor Qin was in power, they naturally didn't have the courage, but Emperor Qin returned to heaven, and most of the grandmasters who originally controlled the army died unexpectedly, and now, no one suppresses them.

Although Li Si Zhao Gao is a grandmaster and has a noble status, he can be said to have no influence in the army, so he will let them do whatever they want.

The magnates worked so hard, and naturally they were seen by [31 31xs.] Lin Ze, so everyone was in the same camp now, so Lin Ze waved his hand and set aside a camp in Hangu Pass for him to station.

Of course, this kind of stationing is not without a price, Lin Ze clearly marked the price and charged 20% of the materials.

That is, every time a private army transports grain and grass into the customs, it needs to leave two percent at the city gate.

Far from having an opinion on this, the magnates were extremely happy, and they were no more than some ordinary materials, which were not worth mentioning for them with big families.

Skipping these things, Lin Ze's training of his army can be regarded as extremely attentive, and the training tasks assigned are getting heavier and heavier day by day.

In order to prevent the soldiers from being unable to bear it and causing their bodies to collapse and become disabled, Lin Ze specially explained to Qianyuan that he used a large number of carnivorous herbs to make a decoction every day to nourish the soldiers.

If it weren't for the support of Hu Hai and the support of the entire Qin State, this would not have been possible.

However, this is also to the limit, Hu Hai also specially sent a eunuch to convey the message, and the treasury was almost exhausted.

And because of Chen Shi's rebellion, except for a few provinces west of Hangu Pass, which are still paying taxes, taxes in other places have long been cut off, and the treasury can be said to be unable to make ends meet.

Fortunately, after spending such resources, it is not without gains, compared to before the training, 700,000 young and strong, the physique has at least grown around, and the whole body is full of anger.

With only a few bloody waterings, it can be compared with the 100,000 veterans brought by Zhou City at the beginning.

In battle, it is far from enough to rely on people alone, armor, war horses, weapons, bows and crossbows, and all kinds of machine poisons, etc., are indispensable auxiliaries.

For ordinary warriors, these are the things that determine life and death.

In Daqin, there is a special organization for the management and research and development of these, called Jiang Zuojian.

And the prison will be under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu.

As a young man, Lin Ze will be a prisoner, how many good things there are, as long as he opens his mouth, there are countless lists in front of him.

Then Lin Ze waved his pen, but everything that could be used on the battlefield was all requisitioned.

The soldiers are there, the equipment is there, Lin Ze looked up at the north, and the person he was waiting for was almost there.

Just as Lin Ze was pondering, a soldier reported: "Qiqi Marshal, there is a new army outside the Guan, about sixty or seventy thousand people, claiming to have come on the orders of the marshal, General Shi does not know whether it is true or not, and he does not dare to put it in easily, and the special order is small to come and ask the marshal." ”

When Lin Ze heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he got up without any delay, and quickly flashed out of the courtyard, and the voice came from afar: "Ben Shuai personally went over." ”

The messenger soldier looked respectful and slowly withdrew from Lin Ze's mansion.

Lin Ze came all the way to the city wall, looked at the silent army outside the city, and after seeing the three familiar figures in front of him, he decisively ordered: "Open the city gate, let them in, and send someone to inform Qianyuan, so that he can settle this army." ”

The guards who received the order immediately arranged for the herald to raise the banner under the city wall, and then the huge iron gate was slowly pushed open by a group of soldiers.

The valian-looking general standing at the front of the army outside the city turned to the lieutenant general behind him and said: "If you take the army into the city, someone will arrange it, and I will need to visit a big man and come back to look for you." ”

The adjutant general was a little overwhelmed and said, "What about the other two generals?"

The heroic general wrote lightly: "They will go with the general." ”

After a casual explanation, the heroic military general ignored the deputy general, and turned to the other two young military generals and said, "Let's go, follow me to meet the military advisor." ”

After speaking, he jumped up, kept rising, and finally slowly landed on the city wall.

The other two young generals looked at each other and nodded, and flew towards the city wall together.

Obviously, these three people are all six-rank realm martial artists, and they can only leap after condensing the acupoints.

The three of them fell in front of Lin Ze, Gu all bowed down, and said in unison: "Subordinate Han Xin (Zhang Han Li Xin) to meet the military advisor." ”

Lin Ze looked at the three of them and nodded again and again: "Yes, one sixth-grade high-level, two sixth-grade beginner-level, it is not in vain that this military division provides you with so many high-level resources, and it did not disappoint me." ”

Li Xin showed a smug look on his face, and was the first to reply: "Hehe, that's nature, the military advisor is a genius, and I'm not bad." ”

Han Xin replied: "Everything is thanks to the cultivation of the military advisor, and Han Xin is grateful." ”

This sentence, Han Xin came from the bottom of his heart, if it weren't for Lin Ze who "picked up" him in Chen County and took him under his command, he has always trusted him and entrusted him with important tasks.

Not to mention that he can rely on the secret method, it will only take more than ten years to raise the martial arts to the sixth rank high level, I am afraid that he will be like his deceased teacher, work all his life, stop at the fourth grade, and then die quietly.

Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "There are some things, you just have to know them in your heart, this is not the place to talk, go back home with your military division." ”

After speaking, he took the lead and walked to the courtyard where he worked and lived, and the three of them followed closely.

......

In Lin Ze's mansion, after the guards brought the tea and drinks, they consciously closed the door and left, and there were only four Lin Ze left in the entire study.

Lin Ze took a sip of tea and asked, "How many soldiers did you bring with you this time?"

Han Xin hurriedly replied respectfully: "A total of 70,000 troops, all of them are the elite of the Northland Army. ”

Lin Ze smiled slightly and said, "It seems that you are doing well in the Northland Army." ”

Han Xin replied: "It's all up to the good arrangement of the military division, and the senior generals of the Northland Army take good care of me. ”

Lin Ze knew in his heart that because of Meng Tian's matter, he had reached a private agreement with the group of senior generals of the Northland Army, and since Han Xin was introduced by him, there was no reason for the other party not to take care of one or two, otherwise there would be some things that Lin Ze would investigate, and the Northland Army would not have a good time.

Of course, Lin Ze will not do too much, otherwise he will force hundreds of thousands of elites to rebel, and Lin Ze will not have a good time.

Lin Ze said with a serious look on his face: "Don't talk nonsense, this military division summoned the three of you over this time precisely to calm down the matter of thief Chen." It must be known that there are no outstanding generals under this division, and I need to rely on you a lot to lead the troops in the future. ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and said with excitement on their faces: "It's all up to the military advisor's orders." ”

As a military general, isn't it just to gallop on the battlefield one day?

In their opinion, Lin Ze is giving them a chance, as for the lack of generals, there may be this reason, but it is definitely not because of this, because the three of them happen to know that in terms of the ability to command troops, they may not be bad, but the one in front of them is also unfathomable.

Lin Ze looked directly at Han Xin and said, "With your ability, how can you lead the troops?"

Han Xin's face was grim, and he thought for a moment and said, "At most, five hundred thousand, beyond this number, I can't unite the military forces." ”

If another person asked like this, Han Xin would definitely answer that the more the merrier, but Lin Ze asked like this, Han Xin dared to be sure that what Lin Ze asked was definitely not how many soldiers he could bring, but how many troops he could gather.

Lin Ze nodded: "In this case, in addition to the 50,000 troops under your command, this army division will give you another 400,000 troops, and ten days later, as the main force, to meet the rebels." ”

Han Xin stood up, put his right hand on his chest, and saluted: "The last general obeys." ”

Then Lin Ze turned to Zhang Han and Li Xin and asked, "You two have led the army independently for a few years, and you have been training in the north for a while, how much do you think you can lead the army?"

Li Xin stood up, patted his chest and said, "Although I am not as perverted as General Han, it is not a problem to lead an army of 100,000." ”

Zhang Han also said in a deep voice: "The 100,000 army will definitely not disappoint the military division." ”

Lin Ze stared at the two of them, only to see that the two of them accepted it calmly, thinking of the two in the history of the later generations, they were equally amazing, and a smile appeared on his face and said:

"Okay, this army division will give you two 100,000 troops respectively, and lead them as partial divisions to assist Han Xin in meeting the rebels. ”

The two of them said with joy on their faces: "Thank you for your trust." ”

Zhang Han suddenly seemed to think of something, and said: "As far as I know, there are a total of 700,000 troops under the military division, and 600,000 will be dispatched at once, and you ...... the military division."

Lin Ze said disapprerovantly: "Don't worry, this army division does not lead troops to fight, fishing, 50,000 troops are enough." ”

The three of them had strange faces, and the military advisor was probably calculating something, and they didn't know which unlucky ghost would bump into them.
