Chapter 221

The snow was falling harder and harder, as if it hadn't stopped. After reviewing the memorial for a while, Ying Zheng walked to the window and looked at the sky worriedly.

Zhao Kun knew what his adoptive father was worried about. The snow disaster some time ago caused the collapse of more than a dozen houses in Qiankou Village, and Daqin had more than one Qiankou Village.

Although his adoptive father is in the Black Ice Terrace, he is very concerned about the affairs of the world, which can be seen from his review of the Emperor Shihuang's memorial.

However, if he is not in his position and does not seek his own government, even if his foster father has the heart to govern the country, it is useless if he does not have the reality of governing the country.

Sighing in his heart, Zhao Kun stepped forward to comfort him: "Father, don't worry, natural disasters are not something we can decide!"

"Your boy is quite understanding..."

Ying Zheng turned his head and glanced at Zhao Kun, and said with a smile, "Godfather raises his head, and you know what stepfather is thinking?"

Zhao Kun touched his nose, winked and said: "As the saying goes, father and son are connected, and we are also connected."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at Zhao Kun, then looked at the case on the table, frowned and said, "Have you read all the memorials on the table?"

"finish watching!"

Zhao Kun nodded: "Although some words are incomprehensible, I barely understand what happened."

"If you don't understand it, just read it more. When you understand it, the foster father can rest easy."

"This"

Zhao Kun was surprised.

Ying Zheng shook his head and smiled. In fact, he had already regarded Zhao Kun as his successor, so he taught him how to deal with political affairs.

But Zhao Kun felt that his adoptive father was too involved in the drama, and he started to train the prince before he became the emperor.

However, who called him his adoptive father?

What bad thoughts could foster father have...

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Kun bowed his hands to Ying Zheng and said, "Kun'er will definitely not disappoint her adoptive father."

"So good!"

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded.

While talking, Gongsun Yu brought people to the study room, four dishes and one soup, two pots of wine, and a big pot of rice.

Ying Zheng glanced at the dishes on the table, smiled at Zhao Kun and said, "Let's not drink tonight, and we will continue to study later."

"it is good."

Zhao Kun nodded, and consciously went to move a chair for Gongsunyu.

Gongsun Yu looked at his back, and whispered to Ying Zheng in comfort: "Your Majesty, Sister Li has left you a good son."

"Hehe! You didn't see him when he was upset."

Ying Zheng smiled helplessly, then pulled up a chair and sat down, waiting for dinner.

Gongsun Yu is a knowledgeable and interesting woman. Knowing that their father and son seldom eat together, she didn't feel embarrassed to disturb them, so she declined Zhao Kun's invitation.

Just like that, one big and one small took two bowls of rice, sat on the bench, and ate happily.

During this period, the two father and son were still fighting over a piece of braised pork, and their faces were red, and they did not have the image of an emperor and prince at all.

But the two enjoyed it.

"Ha ha!"

Ying Zheng ate the braised pork that he had snatched in one gulp, and said as he ate, "How do you feel seeing Daqin's soldiers today?"

"Majestic! Mighty!"

Zhao Kun praised from the bottom of his heart: "This is a powerful iron cavalry. If there are not too few people, it will not be a problem to break through the Royal Court of the Dayue Clan."

"That's it!" Ying Zheng's face was full of pride, but there was still a trace of worry in his brows.

Because the war happened so suddenly, he didn't have more time to dispatch troops.

If he is fully prepared, he believes that Daqin's cavalry is invincible.

However, even if he was not fully prepared, he still believed that Wang Ben's [-] cavalry could defeat the [-] cavalry of the Da Yuezhi.

After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng continued to ask: "The first batch of light cavalry battalions, did you understand the formation?"

"No."

Zhao Kun shook his head.

Although he knew how to train the army, he didn't know much about the ancient way of marching and fighting.

Ying Zheng didn't laugh at him either, but explained seriously: "That formation is called the Wild Goose Formation, and it focuses on the enemy's flank, and the so-called flank is the weakest point."

"The flanks are the weakest point?"

Zhao Kun was taken aback for a moment, he thought that the flank was the side, but he didn't expect that he got it wrong.

"The advantage of the light cavalry lies in its flexibility and mobility, so the enemy's flank is the first to attack. Once the flank is defeated, the enemy will lose its position."

Hearing this, Zhao Kun suddenly realized.

At the beginning of the cavalry battle rehearsal, Xin Haicheng divided its troops midway to attack Wang Li's cavalry's flanks. If Jiang Chao hadn't tried his best to turn the tide, the outcome would have been uncertain.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kun seriously asked Ying Zheng: "Does the foster father know how to use the heavy cavalry?"

"Heavy cavalry are used to reap the battlefield!"

"Ah? Isn't it for a head-to-head confrontation?"

Ying Zheng smiled and shook his head: "Although the heavy cavalry is well-equipped, they are slow to move. If they confront each other head-on, they will be easily targeted by the enemy!"

"So the heavy cavalry are all used in decisive battles?"

"Not bad!"

Ying Zheng nodded: "Heavy cavalry is your trump card. Once light cavalry cannot quickly deal with the enemy, you have to send infantry to charge!"

"After the light cavalry broke through the enemy's battle formation and the infantry killed the enemy's morale, the heavy cavalry gave them a fatal blow!"

"So that's how it is..."

Zhao Kun nodded suddenly, then cupped his hands at Ying Zheng and said, "My child understands!"

"You don't understand..."

Ying Zheng shook his head: "Everything on the battlefield changes rapidly, how can there be a constant method of warfare? If fighting is so simple, even a pig can be a general!"

Zhao Kun scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

Ying Zheng also smiled heartily: "Your foster father knows that you have military talents, but don't be that kid who talks about military affairs on paper."

"Father, don't worry, the child will never be Zhao Kuo."

"Hehe, don't worry, foster father will live a few more years and will teach you well."

"What nonsense!"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhao Kun was a little displeased: "As long as the adoptive father takes good care of him, he can live a long life without any problem!"

"It was said before that the adoptive father would live forever, so why is he living a hundred years now?"

"Uh……"

Zhao Kun was at a loss for words, rolling his eyes back and forth, thinking about how to tell this lie.

But Ying Zheng clearly saw through his thoughts, smiled and waved his hands and said, "Okay! Just kidding you! The adoptive father is not an ignorant person, how can mortals live forever..."

As he said that, he changed the topic again: "But the adoptive father can't die now, because the adoptive father hasn't seen you stand alone."

When Zhao Kun heard this, he choked up and shouted: "Father..."

Ying Zheng smiled and rubbed his head, with determination in his eyes, he said to himself silently: "Kun'er, maybe I am not a qualified father, but as a foster father, what I can do is to teach you well. Cut the thorns and thorns for you, and send you beautiful rivers and mountains;

The righteous father believes in you, and believes that you can lead Daqin to a new height, maybe it is the top of the world, or it may be the prosperity of the prosperous age! "

…………

Time passed quickly, and it was the next morning in a blink of an eye.

Today is the day when Wang's father and son go to war, so Ying Zheng and Zhao Kun will naturally send them off.

Because of the urgency of the battle, there was no swearing-in meeting.

After Nei Shiteng's [-] infantry were assembled, they immediately rushed to Longxi County.

The cavalry, as the vanguard, is making final preparations.

At this time, Wang Ben and Wang Li came to the hillside where Ying Zheng and his son were.

Ying Zheng smiled and said to Wang Ben who was walking towards him with his arms behind his back: "Mr. Tong Wu, the military situation is urgent, I can't do it for you. When I come back triumphantly, I will drink three cups!"

Wang Ben laughed: "Three cups are not enough! If you want to drink, drink for three days and three nights!"

"Haha! Good! Waiting for your triumphant return, I... really will drink with you for three days and three nights!"

Ying Zheng laughed, almost slipped his tongue, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Kun.

But Zhao Kun didn't pay attention to himself at all, but told Wang Li: "This is your first time participating in an actual battle, so remember not to be reckless. I put all the methods of using firearms in my bag, so don't lose them."

With that said, he handed a bag to Wang Li.

Wang Li took the bag, squeezed it, and then nodded heavily: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely kill all the big moon dogs, and make my great Qin Guowei more powerful."

"Don't brag!"

Zhao Kun rolled Wang Li's eyes, and said seriously: "Saving your life is the most important thing... If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng and Wang Ben looked at each other with helpless expressions.

However, they were also used to what Zhao Kun did and didn't care.

In this way, the four communicated with each other again, and they did not part with each other until the horn sounded in the barracks.

.........

Wang Ben and Wang Li led [-] cavalry ahead, while Nei Shi Teng and Ma Xing were still getting ready to go.

It is mainly luggage and food, which need to be dispatched.

Although the combined infantry of Nesten and Ma Xing numbered 5, there were quite a few servitors to escort supplies and supplies.

Forty thousand corvees were sent to Pinyang just on the Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum.

At this time, thousands of corvees escorting food and grass gathered on the north side of the camp, waiting for the arrival of the supply troops, and then set off on the battlefield.

In the crowd, twos and threes gathered together to discuss the sudden war.

At this moment, in an inconspicuous corner, a bearded man asked in a low voice to the middle-aged man who was beside him with straw in his mouth, "Brother Liu, can we go home?"

"Why?" Before the middle-aged man could reply, another skinny young man said angrily, "If you hadn't complained that you were hungry, could we delay our trip and be cut off by the generals who were drafted?"

Hearing this, several other fellow villagers from Pei County looked at the bearded man in disgust, and then focused their eyes on the middle-aged man.

"Brother Liu, you are also a pavilion chief, brothers and sisters come out with you, you can't leave us behind!"

"That's right, Brother Liu! Tell them, let them let us go back to do corvée. After the corvée is over, we have to go home and marry a wife!"

"What kind of wife to marry! It would be nice to go back alive!"

A group of villagers chattered to the middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man didn't even look at them, he still gnawed the grain and grass, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

want to go back?
Still want to marry a wife?
Do your daydreams!

When the middle-aged man just passed by the barracks, he heard two guards discussing the war.

It has long been known that this war is more dangerous than good.

Therefore, my mood fell to the bottom, and I didn't even bother to talk to these fellow villagers.

He was originally the head of the pavilion of Sishui Pavilion, and he was ordered to escort the corvees to Lishan to build the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. Refuse to move forward.

In desperation, he could only arrange to rest on the spot, but this rest lasted for one night, until he woke up the next day, and happened to meet a hundred generals who were recruiting soldiers, and then he was caught here to escort food and grass.

Time and fate, he is Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty in the original history.

And the bearded man yelling that he was hungry was his good friend, Fan Kuai.

Seeing that Liu Bang didn't speak for a long time, Lu Wan, a skinny young man, couldn't help asking him: "Brother Liu, if you have any ideas, just let me know, everyone will only follow you!"

Hearing this, Liu Bang frowned, turned his head to look at Lu Wan, and then scanned the crowd, and found that they were all looking at him expectantly.

After pondering for a while, he spat out the straw in his mouth, and waved to everyone: "Come, come closer, and keep your voice down."

Everyone looked at each other and surrounded him with excitement.

"There is an ugly thing I want to say first. Now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope. If you don't want to die, just keep your mouth shut. No matter what I say, calm down!" Liu Bang glanced at the crowd, his expression dignified way.

Everyone nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

Liu Bang continued in a low voice: "Just now I heard from the guards that this expedition is to deal with the tens of thousands of cavalry from the Da Yue clan to attack Longxi County;

At this time, Longxi County has already become a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. We are going. It can be said that there is death but no life! "

"what?"

Everyone was stunned by Liu Bang's words.

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen killed the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood in Longxi County, so how could my two-legged ones outrun their four-legged ones?
It is said that those alien races cannibalize people without spitting out their bones. Now it is cold and the food is in short supply. They catch us and cook us as cattle and sheep!
"Brother Liu Liu!" A thin villager looked at Liu Bang tremblingly, and cried, "I don't want to die, I haven't married a wife yet."

Hearing his words, the rest of the villagers were also terrified, speaking with a crying tone.

Even the more courageous Fan Kuai turned pale.

On the battlefield?
He never thought about it.

then what should we do?

Follow Brother Liu!

This is the firm belief that flashed in everyone's mind!
Liu Bang looked at them and narrowed his eyes slightly: "If you want to survive, there is only one way to go."

"What way?" Lu Wan asked subconsciously.

Liu Bang said lightly: "Escape!"

hiss--

Hearing the word "escape", everyone gasped.

This escaping corvee is as heavy as a deserter, and being caught is a disaster for the family.

However, Liu Bang looked at everyone coldly, and continued: "You better think clearly, if you want to live temporarily, you should still live forever. Although you will be wanted by the government if you become a deserter, but the sky is big, the mountains are high and the forests are deep, it is not without way out!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone reacted for a moment and nodded repeatedly.

"Brother Liu is right! Mountains are high and forests are deep, there is always a way out!"

"Yes! Let's listen to Brother Liu!"

"Anyway, I don't want to die, I want to escape, everyone escapes together!"

Hearing everyone expressing their opinions, Liu Bang nodded in satisfaction, and then said in a deep voice: "Since all brothers have made up their minds, the moon will be dark and the wind will be high tonight, let's wait for the opportunity!"

"Remember, this is the way to go, all the way to Mangdang Mountain, and we will come out when the situation is over!"

"it is good!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

That night!

Dark clouds covered the moonlight, making it pitch black outside the camp, and Lin Xing's torch flickered in and out of the camp.

Liu Bang led the crowd to the northwest corner of the camp, avoiding the sight of the sentries.

In the gap found during the day, I found the hidden fence hole.

Taking advantage of the fact that the patrolling guards didn't notice, they got into the loopholes one after another, and under the night sky, a group of people ran wildly with their feet loose.
