Chapter 570 I just want to do it alone(1/2)
When I was in Jiangdong before, I didn’t feel the chaos.
Now, the wind in the north of the Yangtze River is treacherous, and thieves are rising everywhere.
That tense and solemn atmosphere is enough to make the population who have not been on the battlefield thirsty.
It lasted for several days across the river, but it was just a matter of sending people and some of the food and supplies. The subsequent large amount of food had to be transported slowly.
Wang Xiao in the temporary military camp was struggling that a capable person must be left to guard the base in Jiangdong, which is the rear.
A stable rear can not only continuously provide troops and supplies, but also have a great influence on military morale.
But Wang Xiao has few talents under him, so Zhang Liang must be very suitable, but Wang Xiao feels that he is useless.
While hesitating, Zhang Liang walked in with a smile on his face.
"Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord."
"Where does the joy come from?"
"Ji Chaocheng surrendered. The elders in the city and the laborers were already outside the camp."
Juchaocheng is located in the north of the Yangtze River, just about twenty miles away from Wangxiao crossing the river.
This is a small city, and the defenders in the city can only survive for three or five hundred.
When he learned that Wang Xiao's side had tens of thousands of troops crossed the river, let alone the defenders did not dare to resist, the wealthy families in the city were also frightened and afraid of being affected by the war.
During the Warring States Period, wars were fought in extreme families, and killing and surrendering was something that almost everyone did.
If everyone surrenders on the battlefield, it would be even more difficult to massacre the city.
For the sake of the family's wealth and life, the wealthy families in the city quickly convinced the county magistrate and the defenders to choose to surrender voluntarily.
"Okay, let them in."
There are many benefits of not having bloodshed. In addition to reducing casualties, the biggest advantage is that all kinds of human resources, food and other materials are owned.
Although Juchao is not big, hundreds of trained defenders, plus at least thousands of stones of grain stored in it, are all spoils.
The local defenders of the Qin Dynasty were not the scoundrels' unclothed wing army, nor were they the ward soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who could not afford to eat.
Whether it is border garrison soldiers or local county soldiers, they all need to receive strict training.
Moreover, there are all kinds of bows and crossbows to horses, and then to armor. This ensures the combat effectiveness of the defenders.
The surrendered defenders are always much stronger than the farmers recruited temporarily.
The reason why the hundreds of thousands of garrisons deployed by the Qin Dynasty in various counties and counties in the six Kanto countries was disintegrated and swallowed up so quickly was largely because most of the garrisons were locals.
After only more than ten years of Qin's reunification of the world, the First Emperor who was threatening the world was dead, and the new emperor was a waste, he would naturally turn against him soon.
As for the old Qin soldiers distributed in various counties, they either surrendered or were swallowed up.
Guanzhong can mobilize an army of 600,000, but the actual force is said to be one million. The extra ones are actually the garrison soldiers and county soldiers of various countries in Guandong. These people turned around and became gravediggers of the Qin Dynasty.
The armor was clanging in the military camp, and the elders and wealthy families were walking among the many soldiers carefully, for fear that they would be killed by these people if they were accidentally killed.
There was an old man in the crowd. Although he was old, he had a bright look and was full of momentum when walking.
Unlike others' fear, the old man carefully observed it.
When they came to Wang Xiao, everyone saluted sincerely.
"No need to do this." Wang Xiao, who smiled, calmed down and comforted him. "You can abandon the darkness and turn to the light and be the people of this county."
Although I have said a lot, it is essentially just a nonsense that soothes people's hearts.
Wang Xiao has long used this kind of nonsense.
When the people from Juchao came to rest assured and left various gifts. Wang Xiao ordered Zhang Liang to lead his troops to take over the city, the matter this time should come to an end.
While everyone was saying goodbye and about to leave, the old man before took a step forward and saluted Wang Xiao.
"King Xiang, I see that King Xiang is about to face great disaster, and I am willing to relieve my worries for King Xiang."
Wang Xiao has not yet been called king, but since Chen Sheng became king, the kings and princes in the world have swarmed like mushrooms after a rain. Even only a hundred thieves under his command dared to call King Shan.
The result is that people from all over the world have to shout to the king when they see them.
Anyway, it won't lose a piece of flesh, it's just a trivial matter of touching the upper and lower lips.
As for what you say, it is nothing more than using a big topic to attract people first, and then I will tell you how to crack the traditional routine.
However, Wang Xiao did not follow the routine.
He waved his hand and asked the others to do whatever they should do. When the old man was left alone, he slowly asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Fan Zeng."
"You are Fan Zeng."
"King Xiang knows me?"
“See you for the first time.”
Of course, Wang Xiao knew Fan Zeng, the famous Xiang Yu Yafu.
Unfortunately, he is not the real Xiang Yu, so he has no idea of finding me for himself.
Generally speaking, Wang Xiao is the father of others. Just like when Yu Ji is learning magic, she can’t help but shout dad and teach me.
Of course, Fan Zeng still has the ability, he is considered a talent.
When dealing with talents, you still have to have the necessary courtesy.
"Please come in and talk in detail."
Come to the big tent and greet Fan Zeng to sit down.
The so-called sitting down and talking is just kneeling cross-legged on one side.
If you have better conditions, you can have a case in front of you and place some wine and food.
If the conditions are not good, it will be like now, kneeling down stupidly.
All the so-called etiquettes on Neon are learned secretly from our ancestors. Unexpectedly, many years later, they were treated as culture and passed down.
Of course, Neon now is really a savage country.
"Tell me, what kind of disaster is coming to my head and make ground."
Wang Xiao's reaction was different from what Fan Zeng expected.
At this time, shouldn't it be shocked and held his hand and shouted "Sir, teach me."
Fan Zeng was stunned for a while, and looked at Wang Xiao who was drinking for Youyou Ran, who didn't seem to shout to beg for him. He had to cough and hide his embarrassment and then say.
"King Xiang, the people of Chu have been looking forward to restoring the country for a long time. If they can adapt to the will of the people, they will be able to win the hearts of the people. Otherwise,"
"Otherwise, what can it do?" Wang Xiao interrupted his words, showing a disdainful look on his face. "I will be in trouble?"
"King Xiang." Fan Zeng bowed and persuaded earnestly, "The people of Chu are concerned about their homeland. If they can re-establish the King of Chu, they will definitely receive strong support."
Wang Xiao's disdain was even more disdainful, "There is no good thing in the royal family of the six kingdoms. Which people will miss them when they are crazy? The people you are talking about are the surviving tribes from all over the country."
The ability of Emperor First Emperor to sweep the six kingdoms is largely related to the initiative of the royal family of the six kingdoms to be undercover.
In Zhao, Lian Po was killed first, and when the Qin army came and was about to destroy the country, they could even pass the plan to kill Zhao Mu.
Two of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period were killed by their own lives. If you don’t die, you will not be able to do anything.
The Wei State had long been fooled by Qin State.
The Qin army surrendered when they came. Even in Daliang City, they went to Xianyang City crying after being flooded.
Not to mention South Korea, it has never been a hero. In front of the Qin army, it has always been a rabbit.
Yan State is a bit bloody, and Prince Dan at least dares to send Jing Ke to assassinate Qin.
Unfortunately, the King of Yan was not good. As soon as Qin scared him, he quickly killed the prince Dan. After a few years of storm, he ended up in destruction.
Qi State claimed to be the second emperor of the East and West with Qin State, but in the end he surrendered directly without even daring to fight.
Finally, when it comes to Chu, it is indeed a fight, and it can even be regarded as the most violent resistance of the six countries to resist Qin after the Battle of Changping.
In the royal family, although Changping Jun Xiong Qi resisted to death like this, most of the royal family and nobles were still insensitive and were drunk and dreaming of death all day long. When the Qin army came, they surrendered directly to Xianyang City.
In Wang Xiao's view, after hundreds of years of war and oppression and exploitation by countless nobles, life is worse than death, the people will not care who is the emperor and who is the king. They just care about who can bring them a stable life.
The people in the world mentioned by Fan Zeng only refers to the remnants of the nobles.
Of course, most of these survivors are very rich, with some people and food.
If Wang Xiao set up a puppet as the King of Chu, he would invite everyone to gather under his command. It would indeed be able to greatly expand his strength in a short period of time.
Unfortunately, Wang Xiao never had this plan.
"There is no need to say this."
Wang Xiao raised his hand to stop Fan Zeng, who wanted to persuade him again, "I know what you mean, but I don't want to do so. Similarly, I will not borrow the name of Chu State, so as not to lose my head."
If you can't finish a sentence, you can directly point out Wang Xiao's thoughts.
Wang Xiao no longer wanted to take the nobles of Chu State to re-take the old path of fining.
