Daqin Engineering Corps

This is also the benefit of dignitaries, they can actually use their property and power to easily obtain the military merit they need.

Just like Meng Liang, who has anything to say if you use your own generals and retainers to do it for you?

When Shen Bing, Ren and others returned to the camp, they bumped into Hui who was rushing over.

He asked with a look of horror:

"Miser, you didn't argue with Zuo Mifu, did you?"

Shen Bing shook his head and replied:

"Never argued!"

Hui Changshu breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"That's fine, that's fine..."

"This subordinate has just found out the identity of this miser."

"He is Meng Liang, the son of the concubine Meng Jia!"

Ren was stunned when he heard these words, Meng Jia, the concubine, is the king's favorite minister.

Shen Bing heard Meng Jia's name familiar, and then his head became confused with a "coax":

It is said that when Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, didn't he bribe a favorite minister named Meng Jia to introduce him?

121章 蒙良

It is said that Meng Jia is the younger brother of Meng Ao, a famous Qin general.

But Meng Jia obviously chose to be different from his brother, that is, to follow the path of civil servants.

Most of the favored ministers have a characteristic, that is, they are greedy for money, corrupt and flattery.

Meng Jia is no exception. The only thing he can be remembered by history is that he received a thousand dollars from Jing Ke as a bribe and kept speaking good things about Yan in front of Ying Zheng.

So Jing Ke was able to meet the King of Qin.

After Jing Ke's defeat, the lives of Meng Jia and his descendants came to an end.

But now...

Jing Ke was cut off by Shen Bing halfway, so he indirectly saved the lives of this favorite minister and his descendants.

Shen Bing thought to himself: Could it be that he changed the history so that Meng Liang came here by mistake?

Shen Bing couldn't take care of all these things, let it do what he wanted, he still had to do his own thing.

After becoming a coward, leading a team of 500 people is really different from before.

This is mainly because the 500 people form a single unit, so there will be a lot more affairs such as the collection and distribution of supplies, the arrangement of personnel, and the compilation of records.

Shen Bing threw everything to Meng Huan regardless of the three sevens and twenty ones.

Meng Huan was originally a general who commanded a hundred soldiers when he was in the army, he was very familiar with these matters, so he handled them very quickly.

Shen Bing originally thought that with these arrangements, Meng Liang would entertain himself without showing his face as before, but he didn't expect this guy to come to "work" the next day.

On this day, Shen Bing just received the new inspection pass.

Gaojuezhi’s experience is a bit different. It uses old bamboo that is darker in color and easier to preserve... Old bamboo is heavy and dense, and will not mold, rot or crack at every turn.

And the characters engraved with a pen knife are also used on it, and then painted with ink, which is not only beautiful but also easy to preserve.

Accidentally stained with blood or water in the previous inspection will make the handwriting blurred and unrecognizable, and this thing is not enough to just add a few strokes by yourself, it is a forgery.

It must be applied to the superior and then repaired or replaced by the censor according to the household registration. The process is very troublesome.

But the biography of Gao Jue's nationality is much better in this respect, the engraved words are not so easy to blur, even if they are blurred, it is easy to recognize because of the engraving, and you can even smear ink on it yourself.

If this thing can be brought back to modern times, it will be a priceless treasure!

Is it worth a suite?

maybe two sets...

While Shen Bing was daydreaming, Meng Liang Shi Shiran walked in from outside the tent and cupped his hands to Shen Bing:

"This subordinate has seen the miser!"

Shen Bing asked in surprise:

"What's wrong with Mr. Zuo?"

Meng Liang looked aside and replied:

"It's okay, my subordinates are just... acting as a coward and waiting for the scolding of a coward."

Shen Bing let out an "ah".

If you look at it this way, Meng Liang, the Zuo stingy man, can't be said to be "vacant", but should be doing his duty.

Because he not only does things well, but also does not sloppy at all in his duties.

It's just... Shen Bing didn't understand why Meng Liang did this, he didn't have to come.

Meng Liang seemed to see through Shen Bing's thoughts, and explained with a sigh:

"The miser doesn't know something. The subordinate has been here for a while, and it's boring to do nothing all day long."

"And my father often tells his subordinates that when they are young, they should study hard and have great ambitions."

"How can the subordinates indulge in vocal music and wine to waste their time?"

"From today onwards, my subordinates must work hard and strive for the top..."

There were a lot of blah blah, and Shen Bing almost believed it when he said it very sincerely.

But in the next second, Meng Liang clapped his hands, and several servants brought wine jugs and glasses one by one, as well as some dried meat.

Meng Liang said:

"Come on……"

"Congratulations to the subordinates who have changed their minds and started a new life."

"Besides, it's hard work for a coward who is diligent in military affairs. I might as well have a drink before discussing business."

Then he said "Oh" again, and said:

"I don't know if a stingy man can master the rhythm?"

"Your subordinate brought a famous architect from Xianyang, why don't I listen to it while drinking?"

Shen Bing: ...

As the saying goes, those who are close to ink are black and those who are close to vermilion are red.

Meng Liang is born to be Mo, and he is also an expert in this field, if he is not careful, he will be "corrupted" by him.

It is said that Meng Liang would have brought women along if it hadn't been for Qin Law's strict ban on having women in the army of "strong men".

Of course, Shen Bing would not follow Meng Liang in such a mess.

Although Shen Bing is willing to enjoy it like this, he must know that this is a military camp.

Although engineers rarely go directly to the battlefield, it is still very important to work together.

If Shen Bing had just stepped into the rank of high nobleman, he would be addicted to sensuality.

It's not hard to imagine the next thing, he will soon distance himself from Ren, Jiang and others...

But Shen Bing also has a way, he thought for a while, and replied:

"Since you are a famous architect from Xianyang, why don't you invite the soldiers from above and below to appreciate it together?"

Shen Bing immediately saw Meng Liang's jaw dropping expression, which seemed to mean: Do those servants understand?

In fact, many people do not understand.

In fact, even Shen Bing couldn't understand it. The music theory of this building seems to be a little different from the modern popular rhythm, although it is extremely pleasant.

But this is not important.

Because what Shen Bing wants to express is that kind of feeling: the dignitaries can enjoy things, and they, the servants, can also enjoy them.

The craftsmen seemed to feel this too, all of them were excited, and they cheered and cheered, even a lot of people danced around the fire...

Qin State is located in the west and has been in contact with the barbarians for a long time. The folk customs are heavily influenced by the barbarians, and singing and dancing are naturally common.This is also one of the reasons why Qin was called a barbarian by the countries of the Central Plains.

Shen Bing thinks this is good, the atmosphere is active and the rhythm is adjusted, otherwise all day long there will be nothing but blood and killing, and the whole army will break at any time like a tight string.

What Shen Bing didn't notice was that although Meng Liang had a slightly embarrassed face, there was a little expectation in his eyes.

This day did not last long.

Because in less than three days, the Yan Kingdom had handed over one hundred thousand shi of grain...

Yan Wangxi tried his best to survive.

The army of Yan State was not used to prepare for war these days, but to search for food everywhere.After searching the city, search the countryside, and then search the border after the countryside...

With Jicheng as the center, all those who could be transported within three days, regardless of rich or poor, dug three feet into the ground to search for all the surplus grain.

After all, the people of Yan State have the habit of storing grain for the winter, so there is still a lot of surplus grain.

In the end, one hundred thousand stones were collected in two and a half days regardless of day and night.

Wang Jian didn't break his promise, and he ordered the army to return to Handan with a large amount of food.

Needless to say, Shen Bing piled up all the trebuchets and siege ladders he made before and lit them up.

Looking at the carts of grain passing by the fire, Hui couldn't help sighing:

"These grains are enough for me to survive the winter and even have a good harvest next year."

"I think there should be some leisure time!"

Others thought the same way, thinking that the Qin army would at least rest for a few months and wait for the harvest season next year.

However, Shen Bing knew that this might not be the case.

122章 浮力

On the way to withdraw the troops, Yingzheng began to discuss attacking Wei with Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe.

The first thing Yingzheng considers is Wei's foreign aid. This is also the most important point in fighting the six countries for so many years... Although the six countries are constantly fighting among themselves, when a country is about to perish, it will often be rescued by other countries.

"Yan has no food and grass, and it is impossible to reinforce it."

"Dai Guo is nothing to worry about."

"The state of Qi will not even send troops to Hezong invited by the state of Yan, let alone the state of Wei."

"It's just that Chu State..."

Wang Jian replied:

"The alliance between Chu State and Yan State is just for show."

"And its internal situation is not stable, and the subordinates think that Chu will not help Wei."

Ying Zheng frowned and shook his head:

"I'm afraid not necessarily."

"When the State of Yan invited the State of Chu, Chu State was far away from the State of Zhao, and the three counties and the State of Chu had no personal pain."

"But Wei State is not like this. Wei State is adjacent to Chu, and protecting Wei means protecting Chu."

"What's more, the state of Chu has a vast territory and many soldiers, and the king of Chu is not as stupid as the king of Yan..."

After some analysis, Wang Jian was convinced, clasped his fists and said:

"What your majesty said is true. Daliang, the capital of Wei State, is only a few tens of miles away from the Wei-Chu border."

"If Chu soldiers come to help, our army will be attacked by the enemy."

Yang Duanhe added:
