Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 14 Looking for help
Chapter 14 Looking for help
Outside the Qin army camp.

Zhao Gang strode towards here.

"Stop, the barracks is trespassing and killing without mercy." The black-armored Qin soldier standing in front of the barracks shouted with a long dagger in his hand.

No one was ordered to enter the Qin army's camp without permission. Anyone who violated the rules would be killed on the spot.

At this time, not only were the soldiers standing at the camp gate on guard, but the powerful crossbows set up on the camp gate were also aimed at Zhao Gang.

As long as Zhao Gang took two steps forward, he would be shot without hesitation.

With a smile on his face, Zhao Gang took a step forward and said, "Brother, please inform me that I'm here to find you, General Wang Ben."

The soldier guarding the gate glanced at his companions.

Upon hearing that they were seeing the general, all the soldiers were not as nervous as they were at first.

"There is a warrant. If there is no warrant, I'm afraid I can't let you in."

When Zhao Gang heard this, his heart suddenly turned cold.

The more you worry about something, the more you will come.

If he couldn't see Wang Ben, he would have no way to tell Ying Zheng his plan.

Just as he was thinking, suddenly, there was a sound of orderly footsteps in the barracks.

Followed by a group of tall, patrolling soldiers holding long daggers.

At the front of the soldiers was a general in silver armor with a sword on his waist and a helmet on his head.

After seeing this group of people, the Qin soldiers guarding the gate immediately stood up straight.

"What do you do for food? In front of the camp, people are allowed to approach at will. Are you all blind?" the young general yelled angrily.

Qin Jun, who was guarding the gate, suddenly had a bitter look on his face.

We can only blame them for allowing the general to bump into them when they were carrying them.

"You leave quickly." The soldier's face darkened, and he shouted angrily at Zhao Gang with the crossbow in his hand.

"I didn't trespass on the barracks, nor did I stand inside the cordon. The Qin army has strict discipline, and I believe it won't kill people indiscriminately."

Zhao Gang's words immediately caught the eyes of the generals in silver armour.

"Who am I? It's you brat. What are you doing here?"

Zhao Gang turned around, pretending to be surprised and replied: "It turns out that General Wang arrived, and I came to look for you. Unfortunately, I don't have a warrant, and they won't let me in."

Wang Ben looked at the soldiers, then at Zhao Gang.

"What are you looking for me for?"

Zhao Gang leaned forward and said in a low voice, "This is not a place to talk."

Wang Ben frowned slightly, took Zhao Gang into the camp, and walked directly into the commander's tent.

After sitting down, Wang Ben asked impatiently: "There is no one here, so tell me, what do you want me for?"

"I want to see Your Majesty, and I hope that Marquis Tongwu will trouble you to lead the way."

"Meet Your Majesty, are you allowed to see His Majesty if you want? Besides, I don't know your intention to see His Majesty, how can I let you enter the palace casually?"

"Your Majesty owes me a promise, and I will ask him to fulfill it."

Civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty heard Ying Zheng's promises in the hall, and Wang Ben was no exception.

However, he is a little strange.

Only one day has passed, has Zhao Gang already made a plan?
That being the case, why not say it directly in the hall.

"This... It's easy for me to help you. You are competing with me again. If you win, I will help you."

When Zhao Gang heard the words, he immediately understood that Wang Ben was deeply concerned about what happened in Baiyue's deduction last time.

"Competition? I am not proficient in civil and martial arts, and I am not good at swords and guns. There is really no place where I can compete with Marquis Tongwu."

Wang Ben shook his head: "I don't want you to dance with a gun, just you and I have another deduction. If you beat me, I will help you."

"The general thinks highly of me. It was just luck to beat you last time."

Wang Ben's face darkened, and there seemed to be anger on his face.

As a famous general in the empire, hailed by Ying Zheng as the future pillar of Qin, he would never allow himself to lose to others.

"Clang!" Wang Ben pulled out his sword and put it on the table.

"Either fight or leave."

Zhao Gang saw his serious look and knew that if he didn't win, he might really have no chance to meet Ying Zheng.

Sigh lightly.

"Okay, just compare, what are you talking about?"

"Just use the battle of the Huns to deduce. You are the Huns, and I am the Great Qin."

Zhao Gang smiled lightly and said, "It's easy to say, where is the general planning to compete?"

Wang Ben directly took some scrolls of bamboo slips and ink cartridges from the table and put them on the ground.

"You and I use these as terrain."

Zhao Gang shook his head: "It's really simple. Since Zhao Gang has something to ask the general, I will give the general a small gift! Please ask the general to bring some sand over."

"What?"

"General, just go and do it. When I finish it, the general will understand."

Wang Ben saw that he was trying to cheat, so he had to be patient and let others do it.

The important place of the military camp lacks everything, except sand.

Soon bags of sand were transported into the tent.

Under Zhao Gang's command, the two soldiers lay down on the ground and piled up continuously, and a rough topographic map of Qin State appeared in his sight.

Wang Ben has been conquered for a long time, so he is no stranger to these things.

When the sand table appeared in front of his eyes, he immediately understood the importance of this thing for war.

"Marquis Tongwu, you and I each have our own side, let's deduce it on this sand table!"

At this moment, Wang Ben no longer dared to underestimate Zhao Gang.Such an exquisite sand table, without two brushes, it is absolutely impossible to think of it.

"Okay, I am the Great Qin. 30 troops conquered the Xiongnu. The iron cavalry took the lead, and the infantry broke up. They quickly advanced and entered the court of the Huns."

Although Zhao Gang had no military knowledge, after all, he had read a lot of historical materials about the conquest of alien races in the grassland, and he had some experience in asking himself.

"Okay, I'm the Xiongnu. The Qin army attacked with iron armor and hard crossbows, avoiding the sharp edge, the old and the weak moved to Mobei, and the main army attacked from Longxi and Liaodong respectively."

Wang Ben was not panicked.

"I have [-] Longxi flying cavalry in Longxi, and I have my Hundred-War Armor-Piercing Army in Liaodong. As long as the Xiongnu dares to approach, he will never come back."

Zhao Gang said with a faint smile: "In the Yan Dynasty, there was a place called Xifengkou. The Great Wall here is steep and the Great Wall has not passed through here. From here, our army can directly pass through the Qin army's barrier and drive straight into the Central Plains."

Wang Ben thought for a moment and then said: "When the Huns are attacking, our army will fortify the walls and clear the country, block the Huns' return, close the door and beat the dogs, and lock them in the pass."

Zhao Gang smiled and said: "If the Qin army comes, my main force will divert to the territory of Zhao State, and then southwest into Hanoi to threaten Guanzhong. The partial army will wander in Hebei, making it impossible for the Qin army in Hebei to support. At this moment, all the Qin troops are out, Guanzhong will inevitably be empty. Our army will take advantage of the Qin army to cross the Qinling Mountains before it arrives, and join up with the main force on the western front attacking Longxi. Completely defeat the Qin State's Longxi garrison. If Longxi is lost, Qin's western gate will be completely open, and our army will be in the future Naturally unimpeded."

"You are ridiculous. The terrain of the Qinling Mountains is complicated. How can the Huns pass through with cavalry?"

Zhao Gang smiled and said: "It would be difficult for others to do it, but it would not be difficult for me to lead the army. There are many rivers in the Qinling Mountains. If there are rivers passing by, the sides of the mountains must be flat, so our army can advance along the sides of the rivers. Besides, I If a group of soldiers enters Guanzhong according to the law, they will turn to Henan, and then bypass Hebei to break out. I believe that after such a raid, the land of northern China will be full of flames. Even if the Qin army is stronger than the Xiongnu, it must be ten The room is empty, and the strength is greatly damaged."

Sweat dripped from Wang Ben's forehead again.

He looked at the flags representing the Huns on the sand table, his face was full of unwillingness.

"The Huns invaded for the purpose of plundering. As you said, they made great efforts to enter the Central Plains. Why?"

"I only talk about how to defeat the Qin army, not how much looting. Besides, does the general think that he only needs hundreds of thousands of troops to destroy the Huns?"

"Isn't it enough?"

Zhao Gang shook his head and said: "It is difficult to destroy the Xiongnu in one battle. The fundamental reason is that the limitations of agricultural civilization make it impossible for us to fight for a long time. Therefore, the destruction of the Xiongnu is not about the number of troops used, but whether we can use our strength to fight."

"What do you mean by borrowing strength? I still hope Mr. Xiao will give me advice."
