[Comprehensive] Cannon fodder, do you want to counterattack?

After discussing for many days, the final result was only one word: "Hit."

The people of Qin, who had no chance to take chances, acted very quickly, not to mention that this battle was a personal conquest by the imperial driver, and there was no way to be careless, so the conscription, food collection, inspection... the entire Qin capital, no, it should be said that the entire Qin Dynasty, immediately became nervous After getting up, various resources were quickly mobilized, and the whole people began to prepare for war.

This time, Yi An also made a great contribution. With the regulations he established, the Talent Recruitment Hall has held three civil and military examinations, and has recruited many talents. Because Daqin has a serious shortage of civil servants and military officials, the existence of these people is just enough. To alleviate the embarrassment, Qin Yue ordered them to be directly incorporated into the army, and Yi An was also rewarded heavily by Qin Yue.

Compared with Yi An, the son of Qin Ge, who is still in the bedroom of the King of Qin, is a bit unbearable, especially from the previous "sworn to death" to the current "glue like paint", it is more and more ironic .

However, this kind of argument only exists among the people at the lowest level, and the high-level officials of Daqin, especially the dignitaries who attended the wedding banquet of King Qin, no one ever mentioned the word "Qinge" in a frivolous tone.

It's not because they are afraid of Qinge's favor, but because the identity of that person is already different in their hearts.

The people of Qin are martial arts, and that person has one sword and one sword, which is enough to look down on the world, even if it is really the kind of relationship with His Majesty, it is also a matter between the two of them, how can he be regarded as a pamper?

-

It has been three days since all the staff prepared for the battle. Qin Yue had a rare time to go back to the palace. He saw Qin Ge lying on the bed reading a book and fell asleep again. He was barefoot, wearing a soft white robe and dark long The hair was scattered quietly on his shoulders and back, looking very docile.

Qin Yue covered him with a thin blanket, sat on the edge, looked at the young man's peaceful sleeping face, gradually became a little dazed, and then smiled wryly: No matter how close this person is to him, he still can't be caught, and... ...can't let go.

……

When Qin Ge opened his eyes after getting enough sleep, he saw Qin Yue wiping his sword. Before he got up, Qin Yue said as if he had eyes on the back of his head: "Are you awake?"

Qin Ge hummed and sat up, now it is almost summer, the days are too long, he feels sleepy in the afternoon.

"What I said before was to let you go out with me." Qin Yue hesitated, and said, "It's just a joke. After I leave tomorrow, you can go back to the Proton Mansion." That day was just a moment of anger... How could this boy's body withstand the toss of the battlefield.

Qin Ge hummed again, without much reaction.

Qin Yue's hands froze, and when he turned around, he saw the young man rubbing his eyes and yawning, with tears still in his eyes. He looked like he hadn't woken up yet, and he didn't know if he had listened to his words. He hesitated for a moment, and said again: "If I don't come back, you go back to Nanchu - I will tell Chen Ce and Qin Yi."

The young man hummed again, Qin Yue was feeling a little annoyed, and only heard the young man's casual voice: "Then what if you come back?"

What if... Qin Yue felt the veins on his forehead twitching, and wiped the sword in his hand forcefully: This young man is getting more and more impolite when talking to him!

Qin Ge woke up and dozed off, washed her face with cold water, leaned on the chair in front of Qin Yue, and said, "Your Majesty should be very clear that you can't lock me up...the more you shut it down, the more you can't lock it up. In this case, Why do you and I play this trick of you chasing me and running away, it's better to be more refreshed."

Qin Yue looked at him, and he found that apart from his hard work and sword practice, this young man spent the rest of his time idle. He either lay on the soft bed to read a book, or leaned on the back of the chair to blow the wind. He did everything with a little carelessness. It seemed that nothing in this world was worthy of his wholehearted attention.But at this moment, he was extremely serious.

Qin Yue sheathed the long sword and asked, "How are you doing?"

Qin Ge sat down and said, "I'll help you retreat, and you let me go back to Chu."

"...what if you can't do it?"

Qin Ge said lightly: "Then I will accompany you to die on the battlefield."

Qin Yue stared fixedly at Qin Ge, and after a long time, slowly raised his right hand, Qin Ge raised his hand and slapped him lightly on the palm, saying: "You are not joking."

"nature."

Just as the young man said, he can't lock this person up, and no one can lock him up.

"If you don't suspect that I'm a spy," Qin Ge said, "I need three things. First, the accounting books of the Ministry of Accounts. Second, the number, location, and type of troops that are going to fight this time. Third, I need some confessions. .”

"Confession?"

Qin Ge nodded: "In the prison in Qindu, many spies from the Qi people and businessmen who had been in contact with them were arrested. I need their most detailed statements, every word they said, even their demeanor and tone."

These people are all discarded sons left behind by King Qi. King Qi used them to the best of his ability, used them to pull out Lianheng, and cheated Qin Ge... How could Qin Ge not pay back a little?

"can."

……

In the evening, the main hall of King Qin's bedroom was brightly lit. Tomorrow was the day of King Qin's imperial conquest.

Including Qin Yue, more than a dozen people were sitting upright. Qin Ge was still dressed in white Confucian clothes, sitting beside Qin Yue. On the wall in front of them was a huge map. On the map, pens of different colors were used to write: With a lot of small print.

"It's hundreds of feet high, the road is difficult and dangerous, and cattle and horses can't walk."

"The water is deep and fast. There is a bridge, three feet wide, which can bear no more than ten people."

"There are thousands of bandits."

"Dense forest, miasma."

"The city is two feet high and hundreds of feet high."

"..."

Qin Ge waited for everyone to read it carefully before saying: "This is the map of Han and Zhao. The notes on it are the information I got from the confessions of Qi people and other local traders. The small black characters are what the traders said casually. , the brown book is something that the Qi people asked about on their own initiative, and the green one is where the Qi people who are in charge of this matter personally intervened."

Everyone's eyes gradually lit up when they heard it. Although Daqin was temporarily at a disadvantage in terms of food, grass and military strength, it was not impossible to imagine. The most troublesome thing for them was that they didn't know where the Qi people would invade——Qi people came and went like the wind , Waiting to know the news and organize troops to intercept it, I don't know how much land I lost.As for sending spies... the Qi people marched faster than the spies, and before the spies came back, the Qi people had already arrived first, and the effect was very limited.

Now that this kind of thing is available, the direction of the Qi people's invasion is no longer traceless, especially for the Qi people's nobles, he should pay attention to the places he has investigated personally, which should be the top priority.

Qin Ge got up, held a charcoal pencil, traced several routes along the brown and green marks on the map, and then crossed out a few of them, saying: "The remaining three, I can't say that they must be the marching routes of the Qi people." , but at least the people of Qi have considered its feasibility. On the battlefield, things change rapidly, so these routes are of limited use, but we can at least speculate from them where the people of Qi might enter Qin. Here, here, and here ...it's all possible."

One person frowned and said, "When marching and fighting, how can you expose the route to the opponent at the beginning? Is your thing reliable? If this is a conspiracy by the Qi people, we transfer all the people there, and it turns out that he invaded from other places. Then fell down?"

Qin Ge said: "The Qi people have lived in the grasslands of Yimapingchuan for generations, and they have never set foot in the hinterland of the Central Plains. The terrain of the Central Plains is complex, with many mountains and rivers, and the Qi people are not used to it. Out of instinct, as long as there is an opportunity, they will explore the surrounding environment. People would never think that we will restore every word each of them said and draw it into a map... So this thing should be reliable, but it cannot be ruled out that they suddenly found a more suitable guide and invaded from elsewhere Possibly. So, we’d better include places like here and here.”

The people who were still listening with gusto began to look at each other, and said: "My Daqin was originally short of troops. You have drawn so many places, and it is impossible to deploy defenses one by one. Isn't it all nonsense to say so much?"

Qin Ge said: "Why do you need to deploy defenses one by one?"

He drew three circles on the map and said: "It is impossible to defend the border and prevent the Qi people from stepping into Daqin, so what we can do is to mobilize our troops in these three places, and then divide the land in each of the borders. Set up beacon towers to transmit news. If they enter Qin from Shuangchang Valley, they will send troops from Menyang City to Shiguan to intercept them, so that they can wait for work and force them to fight in an environment that is not conducive to cavalry; , the troops will be dispatched from Shanye City to intercept them at Yuanshan City..."

He talked about more than a dozen places in a row, and finally said: "These three places to garrison troops can radiate all the borders of Qin and Qi, and they can echo each other. As for being in a hurry at the beginning."

After he finished speaking, he sat down, the dry man was listening intently, seeing that he suddenly stopped talking, blinked, and asked: "And then?"

Qin Ge glanced at the person who spoke, and said: "On the battlefield, things are changing rapidly, and there is no battle yet, so I'll just say something here and then, that's really just talking on paper! I'm just analyzing the situation, and I will adjust the situation by myself." Send troops."

"Is it too late to set up the Beacon Tower?" Maybe the people from Qi would call before the order was delivered.

Qin Ge said: "Don't worry, the Qi people invaded, we have to wait a few more days."

"You know again? The so-called military is expensive and fast. Since they are going to fight, don't they wait for us to get ready?"

Naturally, they won't wait for the people of Qin to get ready, but they have to wait for King Qi to return to the country... Qin Ge didn't answer, and said: "Then there is the issue of food and grass... Da Qin is not without food, but the court of Da Qin has no food, and the land of Da Qin is due to year after year. Conquests cost a lot and there is no food, but there is food in Han, Wei and Zhao. It’s just that people’s hearts in Han, Zhao and Wei are not stable, and direct collection of food is likely to cause public anger, so it is better to donate food than to collect food.”

Taishu Zhi said: "But in those places, grain can't be collected, let alone donated grain?"

Qin Ge said: "The so-called Zhumen's wine and meat stinks, and the roads are frozen to death. Nowadays, in all countries, the inequality between rich and poor is very serious. Ninety percent of the land is concentrated in the hands of one adult. You go and press the heads of the people. Asking for food is tantamount to asking for their lives for the poor, so naturally they cannot collect food. But those rich people are different. They have endless food in their hands, and what they need is exactly what you have. Take out some at will, and the food problem will be solved."

Taishu Zhi was thoughtful, and before he could figure it out, someone directly asked, "What do they want?"

"It needs to be stable, even if the country is broken and the family is not destroyed, even if the monarch is changed, the land and wealth are still owned by them reasonably and legally," Qin Ge said: "As long as the decree is issued, let the people of these three places take The land deed goes to the government to pay a certain amount of grain per acre, and the land can be exchanged for the land deed issued by the Daqin government, or directly donate as much grain, and you can get a certain vacant position and become a minister of the Daqin. "

"..."

That night, the lights in King Qin's bedroom stayed on until the fifth watch. Qin Ge went back to his room to catch up on sleep. After sleeping for less than an hour, he was woken up again, so he moved to the carriage and continued to sleep. , and the wailing and crying of the people seeing off, failed to wake up Qinge.

Five days later, the officers and soldiers of Daqin arrived at the station, and the beacon towers in various places had already been built, and three days later, the beacon fires started and the flames of war ignited.

Sure enough, the people of Qi entered Qin through one of the three routes, so they were blocked shortly after entering Qin.Qi and Qin each had their own advantages. After several battles, the battle became stalemate. Both sides had their own winners and losers.

The flames of war are raging ahead, but thousands of soldiers are quietly stationed in a flat valley behind. Among these thousands of soldiers, there is a luxurious tent. Han Pu is complaining inside: "This is a battlefield. Don't be so idle?"

"It's you who are idle, not me." Qin Ge didn't even look at him, and continued to order: "Prepare 3 people for four days and send them to Shuangxia Ridge for adjustment."

"Yes!"

"Cross the lower reaches of the Huai River safely, set up tents and drink water, and prepare to gather defeated troops."

"Yes."

"Transfer [-] grain and grass from Luzhou City to Wu'an City for backup... Let them detour to Shuangxia, ready to set fire to the grain at any time."

"Yes."

The war lasted for a month, and no one questioned Qin Ge's inexplicable orders, and the only answer was "yes".In private, I don't know how many people have commented that if this battle had been directed by Mr. Qin Ge, they might have won it long ago.

And the generals fighting in the front also feel more comfortable than ever—no matter where they fight, no matter how sudden the order is, they don’t have to worry about running out of food. There is a guy who seems to be a prophet, and he can always deliver the food in time into their mouths.Not being constrained by the rear, you can throw off your sleeves and fight to your heart's content. It's really not too cool!

Within an hour of incense, Qin Ge read the battle report and account books, and sent away all the people who answered in the tent. Han Pu began to murmur again: "I said, how long are you going to stay here? You've been here for more than half a day. It's been a month! This is a battlefield, a battlefield! Until now, my sword has never seen blood!"

Qin Ge said: "It's cool here, naturally you can live as long as you can."

He asked again, "Whose blood do you want to see? People from Qin? People from Qi?"

Han Pu took it for granted, "Of course it's the people of Qi, aren't you on the side of the people of Qin now?"

He was taken aback suddenly, and said: "No, I remember you said that to balance their power, why do you suddenly try your best to help the people of Qin? Uh, are you going to get along with Qin Yue... Well, the last sentence pretends that I didn't explain."

Qin Ge frowned and said, "Where did you see that I did my best to help Qin people?"

Han Pu pointed to his own eyes and said, "Both eyes have seen it!"

Advising the people of Qin, letting them intercept the people of Qi from the front, and keeping their rear in order, isn't that called dedication, what is dedication?It's just a matter of going to battle and killing the enemy in person, okay!

Qin Ge glanced at him, and said a word lightly: "Pig!"

Han Pu's eyes widened: "You called me a pig again! I, I, I said something wrong again!"

Qin Ge said indifferently: "I never helped Daqin deal with the people of Qi, I just let them strangle the most elite forces directly and consume them at the fastest speed, that's all."

"Of course, this is also the Qin people's own choice. Otherwise, they only need to shrink the line of defense, defend the mainland of the Great Qin, and wait for the Qi people to lose their vigor and disperse their strength before attacking. The result will be much better than now, and the loss will be less. Many," Qin Ge said: "But the pride of the Qin people makes it impossible for them to do this. It is impossible for them to voluntarily give up their land to the Qi people, even temporarily, so I can be regarded as helping them."

"In this way, one is to fulfill the wishes of the Qin people and resist the invasion of the Qi people; second, the people of Han and Zhao will not be plundered by the Qi people; third, in such a head-to-head battle, Qi and Qin will lose all their elites. Nan Chu will be safe and sound for several years." Qin Ge said: "The most important thing is that I don't have much time to spend here."

"What do you mean..." What does it mean to have no time?

Before Han Pu finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed something.

Seeing Han Pu, Qin Ge was about to chase him out, and said in a low voice, "Come back!"

Han Pu stood still for a moment, Qin Ge took a piece of bamboo tube from his hand, and pulled out the note inside. There was only a mere number on it: "The show is over."

Han Pu turned his head to look: "What do you mean?"

Qin Ge ignored him, threw the note into the brazier, held a pen in her left hand, wrote a few words on the paper, handed it to Han Pu, and said, "Do you know who to hand it to?"

Han Pu kept watching, and almost exclaimed, "You, you are..."

There were only a dozen words written on the note: "Your Majesty passed away, the crown prince lost his virtue, please return to Chu as soon as possible, we are looking forward to it."

Qin Ge said indifferently: "You hide your identity and escort them secretly, and I will meet you on the way."

Han Pu stammered, "The king of Chu is dead? Is it true or not? You didn't do it, did you? How did you do it? You, you are a regicide!"

Qin Ge said: "Well, it's regicide."

I was a little puzzled in my heart, how could the king of Chu kill him, but the king of Qin couldn't?Go back and try to take King Qi again?

Han Pu was confused: "You, you..."

He himself was deviant enough, but this qin song was even more extreme than him. He had assassinated the lord of the enemy country a few times, and he felt that he was great, but this one directly killed his own emperor... This is murder. Your Majesty, disloyalty and injustice... This is something only the worst treacherous officials can do!

Qin Ge was very puzzled by his fierce reaction, and said: "I said earlier that I wanted to return to Chu in an open and aboveboard manner. What does it mean to be open and aboveboard? Is it considered open and aboveboard to be released by the King of Qin? Wrong, as a proton, the only way to return to Chu in an open and aboveboard way is Returning to the country and ascending the throne! As an attendant, it is natural that only following the new king back to the country is the most upright."

Han Pu's mind was in a mess, he grabbed one and said one: "Yes, but didn't you agree with Qin Yue that you help him retreat, and he let you go back to Chu? You don't mean you are going to pick someone up? You want a Let's go, Daqin's side is going to be messed up!"

"Don't worry, I'll leave after the battle is over."

Han Pu scratched his head and said, "But didn't you say that you want to meet us on the way?"

Qin Ge hummed and said: "After the battle is over, I will go to meet you."

Han Pu was about to grab his hair off: "I don't know how long it will take until the Year of the Monkey, and the month of the month of the monkey. We'll be in Nanchu in about ten days. What kind of response do you have?"

Qin Ge was different and he continued talking, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "The two of them haven't suffered much, you should take care of them on the way."

Push him outside the door and close the curtain.

Han Pu was stunned at the door for a while, and finally stomped his feet. Forget it, let's finish the work first and then ask questions!

In the early morning of the next day, before Qin Ge got up, he saw the deputy general stumbled into the door, sweating anxiously and said: "Young master, something is wrong, a large number of black cavalry suddenly appeared in the south, at least there are ten thousand cavalry... Hurry up and put on Ordinary armor, I will escort you out of here..."

Suddenly thinking of Qin Ge's swordsmanship, he was afraid that he would get in the way if he followed, so he hurriedly changed his mind and said: "No, no, hurry up, hurry up, my subordinates will stop the pursuers for you..."

With the effort of these two sentences, the ground was already trembling, and Qin Ge said: "Command, set up the formation."

"Set up an formation? What kind of formation are you setting up!" The deputy general was anxious: "We only have [-] infantry here, and most of them are recruits. Even if there are five times more, they are still no match for [-] black cavalry, Mr. Qin Ge..."

Qin Ge patted him on the shoulder, the lieutenant finally calmed down, Qin Ge said again: "Go, set up the formation."

"……Yes."
