Daqin Engineers

Chapter 194

In the end, Xiang Yan got the fifty thousand reinforcements and food, which made him suddenly realize that he was in danger.

Before that, Xiang Yan had always thought that there was only one enemy, and that was Qin Jun.

He thought that at this moment when the country was about to be destroyed, all the major clans of the Chu Kingdom and even the cities and towns were willing to surrender their forces and even their property against the Qin army.

But he found that this was not the case.

These nobles were not only unwilling to hand over their soldiers, but even planned to take this opportunity to eradicate the Xiang clan...

Otherwise, what happened to the Zhao clan sending someone to send a secret message saying that the Xiang clan rebelled?

Obviously, the Xiang clan has two intentions for rebellion: on the one hand, it can make the king suspicious to further weaken the Xiang clan and even reduce the military power of the Xiang clan.

If the Xiang clan rebels, the nobles naturally do not need to hand over soldiers and grain to Xiang Yan for command.

Otherwise, isn't it supplying anti-thief?

What a sinister plan!

Xiang Yan was so angry that he almost spit out old blood after hearing these. He didn't understand why these nobles would destroy the Great Wall by themselves regardless of the overall situation...

Isn't the situation obvious yet?

If everyone only cares about their own lands and does not want to send troops and food, in the end, they will only be defeated by the Qin army, and no one will be able to ask for it.

But all of them have a fluke: let others die before they die, and it is best if Qin Jun is unable to fight when he hits his door.

Xiang Yan became more afraid as she thought about it.

If the rear aristocracy thinks this way, is it possible to deal with the enemy?

The 300,000 soldiers in the hands of the king have 250,000 in Caozhou and Chencheng, but only 50,000 in Shouchun.

Originally, this was nothing, because there were more than 300,000 soldiers in the hands of the cities and nobles in the rear, and these soldiers were enough to protect Shou Chun Zhou Quan.

However, the nobles only conserved their strength and refused to send troops... Then wouldn't it be dangerous to exhaust the king's troops from the periphery?

Even if Xiang Yan can defeat Qin Jun, the 250,000 soldiers will be very few left.

What will happen next?

The three clans of Zhao, Qu, and Jing would be stronger than the king. The Qin army retired from the king but could not control the three clans. How could there be Chu Kingdom if the king could not control the three clans?

So Xiang Yan understood that this battle could not be fought like this.

That's why Xiang Yan had the tactic of "entering the enemy deep" against Li Xin in history.

In fact, Xiang Yan had to use this tactic, and even Chu State had almost no resistance when Wang Ben attacked...More than ten days, he went to ten cities in a row, almost one city in a day.

The reason is that a large area in the north is the land of the Chu king.

The relationship between Chu Wang Fuchu and the nobles of Chu State is a bit like that of Zhou Wang and the lords.

The Qin army's attack on the king of Chu did not bring any personal pain to the nobles. Even the nobles hoped that both the Qin army and the Chu king would be hurt, so they could seize power.

From the perspective of King Chu's negative opinion... He also dared not use all of his forces to fight against Qin, otherwise even if he successfully blocked the Qin army, he would not be able to suppress the nobles of the Chu Kingdom. Isn't he a great king?Do you want life?

Therefore, because of this special situation, Chu country could only "entice the enemy to go deeper."

It was different when the Qin Army hit the Chu Kingdom... The Qin Army was already standing on the noble's fief and even at the door of the noble's fief. Can the noble still not send troops?

Only then did the nobles feel the pain.

Only then will the noble respond positively.

Only then will the nobles be united!

Li Xin didn't understand this, so he didn't lose in this battle unjustly: 200,000 against the Chu army's 700,000...

In fact, there are not only 700,000, but there are also many private soldiers among the nobles, plus the temporary recruits, the total is probably four to five times that of Li Xinjun.

Coupled with the problem of the Qin Army's supply line, there is no reason for Li Xin to be invincible!

At this time, Shen Bing didn't think about these many, he had already started training the 100,000 soldiers who had newly recruited.

One hundred thousand soldiers would be different from the previous training of three thousand black armies. Then, one stop on the schoolyard was a black and heavy one, and Shen Bing looked a little hairy in his heart.

Shen Bing has now been promoted to lieutenant, and Wei Wei is promoted to lieutenant.

In Qin, the title is not only the order of the courts, but more importantly, the title is the most direct symbol of military merit without any moisture.

Because reactive power is not the foundation that Qin Fa cannot loosen.

In the Qin State, talents but not meritorious can lead positions, but cannot be judged.Therefore, the people of Qin pay more attention to the title, and don't care about the level of office.

At this time, Wei Wei belonged to this kind of "talent but ineffective" situation. Although he was a second-level noble, he served as a captain.

But this is also because of special circumstances:

If Wei Wei is not in charge of Wei Jiangbing but the Qin Army... Then there will be more talented and meritorious people in the Qin Army, and Wei Wei will inevitably be dissatisfied as a captain.

At this time, no one had any opinion on letting him serve as a lieutenant in the army, whom other Qin army generals disdain.

So Shen Bing didn't care about that many, so he directly transferred Wei Wei to train one hundred thousand infantry.

He was a great general of the State of Wei before, and of course he managed the 100,000 infantry with ease.

The first sentence Shen Bing said to Wei Wei was:

"This 100,000 army is not the entire army. After two months of training, the unqualified will be eliminated."

Wei Wei couldn't help being stunned.

He knows what it means, and excluding the troops means going back to hard labor again.

After hesitating, Wei Wei asked:

"I don't know how much establishment the lieutenant plans to keep?"

Shen Bing replied:

"It depends."

"After the training, those who pass the training will stay and those who fail are eliminated."

"The captain won't blame me for that!"

Wei Wei quickly replied:

"Subordinates dare not."

"The lieutenant has shown great kindness to me, and now he makes decisions based on the situation of the battle. The subordinates are grateful and yet they dare to blame the lieutenant."

Shen Bing nodded, and let Wei Wei pass the news on.

Shen Bing did this because he hoped that the quality of his troops could be raised to a new level in the short term.

The infantry is not the same as the black armour.

The Black Armour was selected from among the best of 200,000 people, and their individual quality was basically no problem.

However, the infantry was a hundred thousand people selected from the 200,000 Wei soldiers. The Wei soldiers were originally of poor quality. After choosing one of the two, they are still not much better.

Shen Bing used this "last elimination system" to stimulate them to strive for the top.

Sure enough, when Wei Wei told the soldiers of Shen Bing's words, the soldiers immediately felt pressured.

Of course, there must be pressure. This is not just a matter of losing the opportunity to make meritorious service. Once he is removed and returned to hard labor, his life is likely to be unsafe.

However, Wei Wei comforted them a few words:

"Be calm, don't worry, I've learned the art of war before waiting."

"Training is nothing more than the same. You just need to be careful and you will be qualified as you think."

However, Wei Wei soon learned that this was not the case.
