In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 518 Xuanwu
golden city.

The autumn wind blows and the rain falls.

Zhao Shuang stood in front of the window, watching the mixed rain, with crackling sounds in his ears.

The buildings in the city were gradually shrouded by the rain, making it difficult to see clearly.As the sun went down, the cold air invaded from the window, colliding with the heat from the bronze furnace in the house.

In this kind of weather, it is especially easy to get sick.

As the scale of the city expands, different industries are born, and the population is gradually increasing.

Different from the beginning, the increase in population requires the introduction of laws and more managers to manage the city up and down.

From the guarding of the city gates, to the security of the residential areas, to the trading access of the markets and shops, the control of strategic materials, and taxation, all of these require a bureaucratic system.

Zhao Shuang does not lack such talents.Whether it is the blood relatives of his own tribe, the children of the Guanzhong family, or the younger generation of the Chu family that the Empress Dowager Huayang sent to him.

In Zhao Shuang's entire fiefdom, there are two cities at the level of Jincheng, and the other is the main city of Nanzheng, both of which have a population of more than 10.

Coupled with the surrounding cities and tribes such as Hu Qiang and Shan Yi, the actual controlled population of Zhao Shuang's fief is around one million.

In ten years, the population of Zhao Shuang's fief increased from 20 to 100 million, and his strength increased fourfold.Jincheng and the main city of Nanzheng are both big cities, but they have different functions.

In addition to the necessary military needs, one is mainly in charge of trade, while the other is more focused on agriculture.However, the two cities are thousands of miles apart and cannot echo each other.It is more like two axes, with each as the center, attracting nearby cities and populations.

Zhao Shuang's private soldiers were kept at a very low level, only about [-].Although they are all standing troops, including a large number of cavalry troops, compared to the military needs of a big city of this level, the number is actually not much.

Because more, the military pressure around these two big cities is borne by the Qin army.

The door opened slowly, and Mo Ya walked in from the outside.It seemed that he had just come from the outside, and his body was still a little wet.

"My lord, according to the news from the night, there is a change in the net in Zhao."

With Qin's annexation of the world, not only is Qin's national power growing, but so are the forces in the world that stand on Qin's side.

Luo Wang, naturally will not let go of this opportunity.

"Looks like it's about time."

Zhao Shuang turned around and looked at Mo Crow.

"How about Li Zuoche?"

"He has returned to Zhao country."

Zhao Shuang nodded, took a few steps forward, and came to Mo Ya's side.

"This time, you don't have to follow."

Mo Ya was a little surprised and raised his head, but he heard Zhao Shuang talking.

"In the territory, there is already an army and two cavalry. I want to set up another guard, named Xuanwu, and you will lead it."

Mo Crow was stunned for a moment, a trace of worry appeared on his face, and he cupped his hands.

"What about the guards around the Lord?"

Zhao Shuang patted Mo Ya on the shoulder.

"No need to worry too much. I have already prepared manpower, barracks, strongholds and supplies. The power of the Mohists alone is still insufficient to control the forces in the Jianghu here. The most important thing for Xuanwuwei is to protect the territory and take care of Nanzheng. passage to here."

"Subordinates obey!"

Zhao country.

"Major General!"

A group of generals surrounded him, they hadn't seen each other for several years, Li Zuoche was much more heroic.

Now that the Zhao country has experienced earthquakes and famines, its national strength has declined greatly, but the frontier troops today are much better than in the past.

Ordinary soldiers no longer wore worn out shoes and clothes, and the general's armor and weapons were finally replaced with new ones.

When the Handan court realized the value of these tens of thousands of frontier troops, especially when they realized that these tens of thousands of frontier troops were the only option to defend the Qin army, they still spent a lot of money for support and arming.

"Where's grandfather?"

"Mr. Wu An is studying the military situation in the house."

"How is it?"

Li Zuoche asked.After the Handan Legion was wiped out by the Qin army several times, while Zhao's military strength was greatly damaged, the remaining military resources were actually running out.

After the fall of Korea, its land was set as Yingchuan County.After that, the Qin army went all out, and after a short period of rest, the Guanzhong army went out again to the east, and the north and south sides clamped down on Handan.

Wang Jian personally led the army to the ground and came out of Jingxing.Yang Duanhe led his army out of Hanoi, passed through Ye, and approached Zhangshui.

This time, the Qin army sent out all the best, intending to destroy Zhao in one fell swoop.

On the other hand, Zhao Jun did not show a little underestimation of the enemy because of the last two victories.

As a military strategist, the most important thing is to recognize the situation of the enemy and ourselves.And the gap in national power between Qin and Zhao can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

"Handan is fully supporting this time. However, even so, it is still difficult to win this battle."

Li Zuoche and the generals came to the house, but saw a person shouting in front of the house.

"I am the envoy of the king, if you want to see Lord Wu An, why don't you let me see you?"

The minister Han Cang was blocked outside the house, followed by Guo Kai's clansman Guo Qi.

"Mr. Wu An has already said that the matter of food and grass will stop here!"

"Good! Good!" Han Cang was very angry, and waved his sleeves, "Let's go!"

The two were about to leave when Guo Qi suddenly stopped.

"Li Zuoche, haven't you resigned, why are you here?"

"This is my Mrs. Li's mansion, why can't I be here?"

Han Cang glanced at Li Zuoche, shook his sleeves and left, leaving a sentence.

"Old and young, they are all unreasonable things."

Guo Qi was thrown away by Han Cang all of a sudden, and before he had time to think about it, Xiaobu followed.

"what happened?"

Li Zuoche asked, while the general beside him explained.

"This Hancang is used to eating empty wages, but this time we ate it on our heads, and it hurt our noses."

"The military rations given by Handan this time are not much. According to him, should we still fight this battle?"

"Do you think Han Cang is the only one behind this? Didn't you see Guo Qi's brat Pidianpidian following behind, our Xiangguo is the big head behind."

"A nest of snakes and rats, this country of Zhao will be destroyed by them sooner or later..."

"No nonsense!"

……

A group of soldiers complained, Li Zuoche shook his head, took a few steps forward, and distanced himself from the group of soldiers.

"Zuo Che wants to pay homage to his grandfather!"

"Major General, wait a moment."

The general who stopped Hancang just now turned around and entered the room, but when he came out again, he had a strange expression on his face.

"Young General, Mr. Wu An said that if a grandson wants to visit his grandfather, but there are no common etiquettes in the army, he will be exempted; if a soldier wants to report to the general, then you are no longer a member of Zhao Jun. So, no need See you."

All the generals looked at each other, but they didn't understand what happened?
Li Zuoche's complexion changed slightly, and he cupped his hands in a salute.

"Please tell grandfather, grandson knows."

The words fell lightly, but with a faint sigh.
