I’m The King Chapter 1127: : Carry on the past and open up the future (17)

From a large pile of files, I found a map and spread it out on the table. When Ning Xin leaned over to look at it, it was the map of Shu County in the State of Qin. Some marks were made on it with charcoal pencils. Gao Yuan has long put his heart into it.

"Shu County is the land of abundance, what a great place!" Taking pictures of the map, Gao Yuan sighed and said, "It's really a shame that such a good place can make the people under the Qin State's governance suffer, and have to be angry Sigh and hate."

"If this is not the case, how can we have a chance? If everyone governs the country like you govern the Han Kingdom, then how can we rule the world?" Ning Xin laughed.

"That's right!" Gao Yuan rubbed his nose proudly, "The Qin State implemented a typical centralized county system, but they have extremely strict control over the cities, but they have a lot to do with the countryside. In rural areas, they basically rely on squires and clans to maintain their rule, especially in some remote places, where the ruling power is even weaker. Of course, this weakness is reflected in the timely payment of taxes and various exorbitant taxes in the local area. Those under the handyman, once there is a problem in this aspect, their army will appear."

"Treat these ordinary people as cattle and horses!" Ning Xin said.

"They originally regarded the common people as cattle and horses, so this is our opportunity." It is the Qin people, so it is not easy to show their flaws, and they can easily sneak into these places, guide and mobilize the peasants in these places to start uprisings, riots, and establish a base area of ​​our own."

"Base?"

"Oh, it's our territory. Of course, we can't let the Qin people know that it's our territory, otherwise they will definitely rush over like a mad dog and smash it to pieces." Gao Yuan said.

"Of course I understand. Otherwise, why did you always emphasize that people from Qin should be selected? But this way the selection is narrower." Ning Xin frowned.

"I'm just saying the best, not absolute, but the people who are selected must be very familiar with the situation of Qin."

"I understand." Ning Xin nodded and said, "I will let Niu Ben take charge of this matter."

"The strength of the Qin State has not yet recovered, and their main forces are contained by us. The limited forces in the country are concentrated in the bustling and key areas, and the vast rural areas have a lot to do! When we come down, we will send professional soldiers and officials who are familiar with rural work.” Speaking of this, Gao Yuan laughed, clenched his fists, and waved in the air, “We don’t want to make a fuss, we work quietly , accumulating strength little by little, and when the strength is enough, it burst out with a bang, knocking Qin Guo dizzy."

"You mean to build an army there?"

"Of course." Gao Yuan nodded vigorously.

He Weiyuan's voice sounded outside the door, "Your Majesty, Ye Shangshu begs to see you!"

Hearing that it was Ye Zhong, Gao Yuan couldn't help but wondered: "We just met in the morning, it hasn't been long, why did Ye Zhong come to the door again? Wei Yuan, please wait for me in the study, Ye Shangshu, I'll be right over."

"Yes!"

In the study, Ye Zhong was holding a military newspaper in his hand, and he was walking around the room in a hurry. When Gao Yuan stepped into the door, he saw Ye Zhong kept turning around in the room Circle.

"What's the matter, have you become an ant on a hot pot?" Gao Yuan asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Qin and the Kingdom of Chu are fighting!" Ye Zhong looked excited, and handed the military report he was holding to Gao Yuan, "Zhou Yu, who was stationed in Nanyang County, suddenly led The Qin army invaded the state of Chu and occupied Sui County, an important town in Chu's affairs. The incident happened suddenly, and it seemed that the state of Chu did not expect that the Qin people would launch an attack at this time. They were defeated by Zhou Yu within three days."

Gao Yuan looked at the military newspaper and fell silent.

"Zhang Hongyu thinks this is a rare opportunity. Originally we were always worried that Qin and Chu would join forces to deal with us, but now it seems that there seems to be a big problem between them. He has ordered Dongye to enter a state of first-level combat readiness. Send the military report as soon as possible, and hope that the Ministry of War and the king will agree with him to launch an attack."

Walking to the map hanging on the wall of the study, "Where does Zhang Hongyu want to go?"

"Pengcheng!" Ye Zhong walked to the map and pointed to a place on the map, "If you can take Pengcheng, you can cut Xuzhou from the territory of Chu."

"What is the reason for Qin Chu's sudden hostility? Does Xu Yuan have no clue?"

"According to Zhang Hongyu's guess, it might be because of the Mao Wei incident." Ye Chong said: "The Overwatch Council's information said that Mao Wei has been staying in Jiangdong County of Chu State since he left the territory of the Han Dynasty. Didn't you leave? This in itself is not normal. This time the Maowei incident was led by the Qin people, but they succeeded at a huge price, and the Qin people are still paying the price. The people who supervised the word are crazy They are digging their nails, and many secret spies that were hidden in the past have also been dug out this time. But Mao Wei stayed in Jiangdong County and did not go to Qin State. I suspect that Chu State detained Mao Wei and did not want to give it away. The state of Qin is over, and the people of Qin will naturally go crazy with anger. Mao Wei is the key person for them to obtain the formula and production secrets of our gunpowder. The battle of Kangping City has already frightened the people of Qin. However, they were taken by Chu people, how could they not be angry."

"Is it worth it to destroy the military alliance they have finally reached for the sake of Mao Wei?" Gao Yuan took a breath, "Qin Chu's senior management, would you be so impulsive?"

Ye Chong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are not surprised, you think gunpowder is nothing special, let alone we have even made prototypes of cannons now, but in the eyes of Qin and Chu people, this explosive is already It is something that should only exist in the sky and should not exist in the world. For him, it is not impossible to turn his face. What's more, if the Chu people get the gunpowder but the Qin people don't get it, then Qin will have to deal with not only We have."

"It's also possible." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "How can a group of frogs know how big the world is? Ye Zhong, tell Zhang Hongyu to make a move. The Ministry of War will support a batch of weapons, and they will have to raise their own food. Wei Di has just experienced the autumn harvest, although the yield per mu there is not as good as here, but it should be no problem to support him to fight a war!"

"Yes!" Ye Chongxi said: "Your Majesty, then I will go back and give Zhang Hongyu an order to make him move, take advantage of Qin Chu's rivalry, take Pengcheng, isolate Xuzhou from Chu, Then we swallow him up."

Gao Yuan nodded slightly, "Give me an order."

Suiyang, Sanchuan County, this is the nearest county seat of the Han Kingdom to the Chu State, and Dong Zhuang, the Third Division of the New First Army, is stationed here.

The New First Army has not fought for a long time. For Dong Zhuang, this is a very painful thing. Dong Zhuang is a quite legendary figure in the Han army. When Tan Feng, Minister of the State, was training the new army, he had to leave home to join the army because his family was poor and he had too much to eat. However, his first battle was in Yuyang when he served as the Eastern Expedition Army at that time. On the way to serve hard labor in the Hetao area, Fu Xiao, an officer of the Han army who was escorting him, took a fancy to him and selected him into his company. Finally, he joined the special operations brigade in the Hetao area with Donghu, and made a great success. Military exploits, during the war with Donghu, this person accumulated meritorious service and was promoted to battalion commander, and was recommended to the newly established Jicheng Comprehensive University's senior officer training class. When he graduated, in order to be able to fight against the Qi army, he successfully He was poached by Zhang Hongyu to the New First Army and became the commander of the Third Division of the New First Army. At that time, the New First Army had a serious shortage of officers due to the expansion of the army. In order to get officers with combat experience, Zhang Hongyu, the commander of the army, did everything he could. He did everything he could, and he acted first, so that Dong Zhuang's original Beiye Mengchong sued Gao Yuan.

But in the end, Dong Zhuang went to the New First Army. Dong Zhuang fought bravely. As the leader of the first division, he often rushed to the front line and led the army to charge. It is precisely because of Dong Zhuang's leading role that the Third Division is the most fearless in fighting in the New First Army, and Dong Zhuang is also the most popular officer among the soldiers. It can be won by three times, five divisions and two divisions. Of course, the casualty rate of the third division is also extremely high.

After the battle against Chu, the third division was reorganized and replenished and sent to Sanchuan to station. In Zhang Hongyu's view, Dong Zhuang would be the natural vanguard if there was a war with Chu.

However, after arriving in Sanchuan, the most things Dong Zhuang's subordinates did were repairing the barracks and training soldiers. Rows of neat barracks were erected on the wasteland outside Sanchuan County, and the soldiers bid farewell to those who lived in tents The living conditions have been greatly improved. The soldiers are quite happy.

Besides building the barracks, Dong Zhuang is now training his soldiers. His training requirements for soldiers have increased by a full 30% compared to the requirements for various training data in the infantry drill code issued by the Han army. All the soldiers were miserable, but Dong Zhuang, as the leader of the first division, completed the same subjects with all the soldiers every day, and everyone had nothing to say. After half a year, the third division was filled with a large number of recruits. , at least above the training level, it has reached the pre-war level.

"Okay!" A large group of soldiers formed a circle. Inside, Dong Zhuang was competing with several soldiers. Dong Zhuang was tall and burly, and he was a full height taller than ordinary people. With a round head, round waist and broad shoulders, ordinary people stand behind him, and you can't see this person from the front. Three soldiers dealt with a Dong Zhuang, but they couldn't do anything against Dong Zhuang. After a moment of stalemate, the three soldiers He was thrown to the ground like a sack, and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Seeing how brave the commander was, the soldiers below cheered. You must know that these three who dared to challenge Dong Zhuang were also warriors in the army. Lost so badly.

"The strength is a little weaker, I still have to practice!" Taking the helmet from the guard, Dong Zhuang smiled and walked to the side of the First Battalion Commander Xie Dong, "I'm eating at your place today, and I'll check it out by the way Your food situation."

"Yes, Master!" Xie Dong straightened his back and said loudly.

(The job was transferred, and I was really reluctant to leave the school where I worked for many years. I don’t know if I can quickly get started with the new job, the new unit, and the new leader. I can't guarantee the update, I try to maintain a consistent update speed, but I also ask book friends to be considerate of the gunman, just arrived in a new place, you have to give the leader a good image, ha ha!)
