Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Military Division
At the end of the summer of the twelfth year of Yuanwu of the Great Qin Dynasty, there was a conflict between the Great Qin Dynasty and the Wu Kingdom on the border.
The cause of the conflict was just a drinking toilet.
Just for this drinking toilet, a soldier of the Great Qin Dynasty died.
On that night, the border army of the Great Qin Dynasty demanded that the Wu Clan State hand over the Wu Clan warrior who killed the Great Qin soldiers.
However, the Wu Clan side emphasized that the Great Qin soldier had crossed the border.
However, the Great Qin Border Army believed that it was indeed the Qin Army's drinking toilet, and the soldier's legitimate request was not answered.
Therefore, after the request was refused, the Great Qin Border Army took very decisive measures.
A border army decisively launched an attack on the garrison where the warrior of the Wu clan was located.
This conflict intensified over the next few days, and as the Great Qin Dynasty continued to build up its army, it soon turned into a war.
However, in later generations, as long as you have the heart to calculate the time, you will easily find that on the same day that the soldier died for drinking the toilet, many of Daqin's troops had already begun to cross the Yin Mountain and move towards the border of the Wu Clan.
Many cultivators of Changling also set off that night and rushed to that place, which was already a wasteland and bitter cold for the Qin people.
Moreover, in the eyes of those who studied the war in later generations, the Great Qin Dynasty definitely seized a good opportunity.
The closest to the Wu country are the Yue clan and the Xiqiang clan, the Yue clan has already become a subject state of the Great Qin Dynasty, after the outbreak of the war, the army of the Yue clan directly joined the conquest of the Wu country.
Xiqiang itself had just experienced a civil strife, several princes worked together to kill Lao Wang, but their mother led Lao Wang's old troops to conquer one by one, and now the powerful queen mother has become the real leader of Xiqiang, but it is impossible to allocate troops to support the Wu clan.
......
At the end of the summer of the twelfth year of the Great Qin Dynasty, Ding Ning was one of the many groups of Changling cultivators who rushed to Yinshan.
Cultivators who have never participated in a campaign, regardless of any cultivation realm, are newly recruited and escorted by a recruiting officer from the Terracotta Division.
Daqin's military orders were extremely strict, and if they missed the deadline, they would be deprived of their military merits and abolished for hard service, or if they missed the plane, they would be directly executed.
Therefore, the army that transports the recruits is not just an escort, but also a prisoner, with the mission of having to deliver them.
Because it was wartime, the conscripts who set out from Changling were themselves generals who were to be transferred to the border, and Ding Ning's army belonged to one of the Su Guards stationed one hundred and thirty miles outside Changling.
This army numbered 2,000 men, but it carried a large number of iron and bronze tools, which belonged to the normal daily use of the border army and the tools used to clear the wasteland.
Like many previous dynasties, the Great Qin Dynasty was extremely strict in controlling metal tools that could produce magic weapons and some powerful blades, and most of the workshops were also concentrated in Changling.
As soon as the war arrived, everything flowed out with the army like flowing water, although it cost a lot of manpower and material resources on the way, but this also created a benefitββββ the government decree must be reached, and the response of the army of the Great Qin Dynasty was extremely fast.
The highest commander of this army is named Guo Feng, who is from Guanzhong, and he is also an old acquaintance with Nangong Caishu's father, and he also has great respect for Ding Ning.
When Ding Ning and a group of others outside Changling followed, and the team began to officially set off, he directly invited Ding Ning and Nangong Caishu to his chariot as soon as possible.
"Many people in Changling have heard many things about you. β
This general's figure is not tall, even a little rickety, and the top of his head is already bald, but his whole body still exudes the kind of iron-blooded meaning that only soldiers who have gone through countless battles, he bowed slightly to Ding Ning very respectfully, and his tone was humble to the extreme, " In particular, I heard about how you rejected Liling Jun and how you helped that Jianghu figure named Wang Taixu become the underground leader of Changling, so I know that your strength lies not only in your cultivation, not only in your strength to fight across the border, but also in your far-sighted ability and strategy. β
Ding Ning is not a very modest person, and he doesn't know how to say polite words, so he listened to the general's words, just bowed back very seriously, and said: "I'm too seriously injured, I'm afraid I can't exert too much strength in the battle, if there is anything that can help General Guo along the way, the general can speak." β
Guo Feng was very satisfied with his attitude, and he also admired Ding Ning even more, so he laughed and said, "You should be able to be my military advisor... Just by the way, of course. β
After a pause, he immediately restrained his smile and said slowly: "The road is too far, and your fame is too great, I'm afraid it won't be calm along the way." β
Ding Ning glanced at the general, who looked very ordinary, and said, "The general is also a smart person. β
"What do you think of my Great Qin's conquest of the Wu clan this time?" Guo Feng did not have modesty and superfluous words, looked at Ding Ning and asked.
"The key lies in the attitude of the Great Chu Dynasty, which is separated from the Wu clan in the Yin Mountain. Whether it is Xiqiang or Donghu, in the end, it will not change the fate of the Wu clan. Ding Ning smiled slightly mockingly, and said: "The movement is so big, even your Su Guards have been transferred out, I don't know how many cultivators have sent out of Changling, how can you be willing if you don't defeat the Wu clan?"
Guo Feng nodded and said, "I agree with your point of view. β
Ding Ning looked at him, and then said: "Donghu will naturally send troops, Donghu is not only with the Wu clan, most of the iron and bone tools in Donghu are from the Wu clan, if the Wu clan is all returned to my Great Qin, as long as the border trade is not passed, Donghu will not even have enough weapons in another ten years." But whether it is Donghu sending troops or Chu crossing Yin Mountain, the road is very long, so the Wu clan will definitely not fight my Daqin soon, and it will definitely drag on time. The reason why my Great Qin wants to set up a border city behind Yinshan is because Donghu was known as the desert barbarians before, and they are the best at iron cavalry attack. If we want to pursue, it will be difficult for our Qin army to catch up. After Yinshan, I am afraid that it will snow in a little more than a month, and they will drag it out until after the snow falls anyway. β
Guo Feng's eyes flashed violently, there were some things he had thought about, but some of them were not as thorough as Ding Ning. The most important thing is that he thinks what Ding Ning said is very reasonable.
"But presumably the queen has also taken this into account, so any army will carry so many things. β
Ding Ning slowly turned around, looked at the vehicles escorted, and said, "So she won't be impatient, and she will be very safe to let the other party drag it until it snows before the decisive battle." Such a choice will have many fewer casualties, but it will be more difficult to endure over time. And for a small army, there are too many variables. β
Guo Feng took a deep breath and looked at Ding Ning seriously, "We will all go to Donghu in the end, where we should all belong to a small army." β
Ding Ning laughed and said, "After arriving in Donghu, this is the case, on the way before arriving in Donghu, I'm afraid that as the general thought, we are like bait." β
Guo Feng didn't seem surprised by this sentence, but his face turned a little colder.
"The general said that my fame is too great, and my cultivation speed is too fast, which is a great threat to the other three dynasties. β
Ding Ning said lightly: "There are not enough powerful cultivators in the general's army, so for those who want to assassinate me, there is no need to pay too much price. β
"Since you can see it better than I do, it means that you are capable enough to remind me of what to do in time. β
Guo Feng looked at the road ahead and said slowly, "My duty is not only to transport you to the ground on time, but also to make sure that these sons and daughters who follow me on the expedition can return to their hometowns as much as possible." β
