General Qin

"Haha, I didn't expect that Zuo Shuchang is really a selfless person. I admire what he said."

After officially accepting the appointment, Yang Xiong, who became the master of two or five hundred, was very happy.

He smiled at Zhao Tuo and Zhao Ben: "You two Zhao Wubai masters, you are my subordinates in the palace, and I will take care of you in this barracks. Do you have any objections?"

Zhao Ben's title is one level lower, and he is only a public official, so naturally he has nothing to say.

Although Zhao Tuo smiled on his face, he was really disgusted in his heart.

This is Huan Zhao.

He is really not the Son of Man!

Originally, it was normal for Zhao Tuo to enter the army camp as a five hundred master.

Even the dignified Zuo concubine condescended to be demoted and came to be a military marquis, and the two five senior officials went to be two or five hundred masters just like the public servants.

He, Zhao Tuo, is young and senior, and his title is at the same level as other public servants. Compared with Yang Xiong, Zhao Tuo has no other advantages except that he participated in the battle against Yan.

It's okay to take a step back from normal competition and be a five hundred master.

But who would have thought that Huan Zhao was so disgusting, he praised Zhao Tuo on the surface, but in fact he was stepping on Zhao Tuo to show his impartiality.

Moreover, he also compared Zhao Tuo to a "horse fuzi" in his words, and finally said that whoever dares to break the law, he will not distinguish between relatives and kinship, and will not show favoritism. These words all contain threats.

In the military tent, not everyone is as stubborn as Yang Xiong.

Many people understood the meaning of Huan Zhao's words, and looked at Zhao Tuo with mockery.

In the army, it is really not a good thing to have a boss who doesn't like you.

Fortunately, Huan Zhao didn't make it too obvious. He assigned Zhao Tuo to Yang Xiong, which was a bit of kindness.

Although this appointment made Zhao Tuo feel sick, but there were some happy things.

"A Tuo...ah, that's not right, it should be called Wubaizhu, hehe, my black-butt doctor is here again."

Black Hip laughed and stood in front of Zhao Tuo, and beside him stood Shejian and Xiqigu.

The Qin State implemented a conscription system, but also encouraged soldiers to take the initiative to join the army.

After all, the morale and combat effectiveness of those who voluntarily enlisted are far better than those recruited by force.

When Shejian and Heiju 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 came as promised.

"Men, your hatred?"

"Reported, nothing happened."

Shejian smiled lightly, and the previous gloom disappeared from his face.

Zhao Tuo nodded, and his eyes fell on Xi Qigu.

"I have met Mr. Zhao, Xiqigu is willing to work for Mr. Zhao." Xiqigu bowed and saluted.

"Okay, we are all from Gengshi, so we should join hands together!"

Zhao Tuo smiled and stretched out his hand to help Xiqigu.

The arrival of Xiqigu was unexpected by Zhao Tuo.

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 Hei Ji, if he wants to go to the battlefield, he must be called, and he is willing to follow Zhao Tuo to the death.

This small and medium-sized official in the village also has great ambitions.

Xiqigu wants to restore the glory of the Xiqi clan and regain the glory of his ancestors.

Zhao Tuo is the one he likes.

Xiqigu believes that following the young man in front of him, he can fulfill the wishes of generations of ancestors in the clan.

Zhao Tuo was very happy, newcomers are not as good as old ones.

With the help of these three former able-bodied men, he will surely go a lot smoothly in this battle against Wei.

Without hesitation, Zhao Tuo immediately appointed Shejian and Heiyu, who had the title of doctor, as generals, and Xiqigu was appointed commander of the short army.

At the level of five hundred masters, you can have a short guard of fifty people.

After the 5,000 Guanzhong Qin army was reorganized in the barracks, 1,000 soldiers from Hanzhong County and about 5,000 prisoners and slaves also arrived.

The Qin army in Guanzhong was speechless.

"What kind of birdsong are these savages speaking?"

This is a complaint from Heibutt. Although the others don't say it, they all have the same expression on their faces.

The land of Hanzhong originally belonged to the state of Chu, and it was seized by Qin Huiwen when he attacked Chu and established Hanzhong County.

It is located in the north of Daba Mountain and south of Qinling Mountains, where savages are crowded.

Many of the Hanzhong people recruited from across the Qinling Mountains this time had their hair covered and their bodies wrapped in animal skins, and they could smell the stinky barbarians from far away.

What they were yelling in their mouths was a dialect that no one could understand, and they couldn't communicate at all.

Since the arrival of the Hanzhong army, all the 10,000 prisoners and ministers in Guanzhong have also been recruited.

In the big camp, people were crowded, and the black flag was fluttering in the wind.

In this way, everything is ready, and the army will set off directly.

Huan Zhao, the eldest son of the left concubine, was in high spirits.

Standing on the chariot, he commanded 5,000 Guanzhong Qin troops and 1,000 Hanzhong garrison soldiers, and escorted a total of 15,000 prisoners and ministers. They lined up in a long queue and headed east.

The army went straight out of Hangu Pass all the way, and set foot on the border of Sanchuan County.

The black-rumped horse galloped on the road, yelling to the hundred people under his command to be vigilant, to prevent any daring criminals from looking for opportunities to escape. Although the army is on the side, those who dare to escape are basically dead, but there are always wild people who are lucky in their hearts in the world.

Ever since the car accident happened in Yandi, Heibutt watched Zhao Tuo and Shejian ride horses to chase Yandan, and secretly made up his mind to learn equestrianism.

He gained a lot of money during the war, and after returning home, he really bought a horse and studied equestrianism for several months. Although he is not as good as Zhao Tuo, he can gallop on the road anyway, and he is worthy of his black-bottomed doctor identity of.

"Master Wubai, I heard that it's not just our Guanzhong and Hanzhong gang of savages. Even the Sanchuan County, and even the counties of Hedong, Hanoi, and Shangdang are also recruiting prison officials."

"You said that we are going to attack the state of Wei, why don't we send a large army to suppress it and destroy it directly, and drive these prisoners and slaves to the state of Wei?"

"Let these slaves fill the gutters?"

Hei Hip 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 regular soldiers.

This way of fighting is completely different from what Hei Hou saw in Yandi, and he was full of doubts.

Not only Heihip, but even Shejian, Xiqigu, and even many military officials in the Qin army didn't know what the king wanted to do with recruiting so many prisoners and slaves.

After all, they were born in the countryside. Even Xiqigu, who had been a petty official, could hardly look beyond the counties. Although Shejian has a strong military intuition, it is difficult to see the general trend of the world due to his knowledge.

Compared with everyone's confusion, Zhao Tuo is very clear about the real purpose of their trip.

He looked ahead, 15,000 prisoners and slaves lined up in a long snake, slowly moving forward under the protection of 6,000 Qin troops.

These people are not used to attack the city.

Even the 6,000 Qin troops responsible for escorting them might not be sent to the battlefield by the chief general Wang Ben to fight.

This escort of prisoners and slaves has another purpose.

Because the military situation was urgent, the army led by Huan Zhao escorted the prisoners all the way through, even passing by Luoyi, the former capital of the Zhou Dynasty, without stopping, all the way eastward.

In less than half a month, the Qin army and prisoners and slaves from Guanzhong arrived at the foot of Daliang City.

hiss……

The scene under Daliang City made everyone gasp.

Except for the 50,000 soldiers from Huaiyang, the entire Daliang City was surrounded by nearly 100,000 prisoners and slaves.

These prisoners and slaves came from all over the state of Qin, and they were all escorted and recruited here.

Driven by the pawns, they held hoes and iron shovels in their hands and dug between Daliang City and the chasm.

Zhao Tuo's gaze swept over the heads of these prisoners, and turned further north.

There, a great river rushes...
