Daqin: Qin Shihuang can hear my heart

Chapter 457
When Li Zhao asked his son Gao to transfer the Lujian telegraph to the base station, he also did not forget to secretly ask people to build base stations in the places of the Six Kingdoms, especially Hangu Guanwai Xiting, Caoyang, Dingtao and other places.

According to the history known in the previous life, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang’s uprising army sent Zhou Wen to approach Hangu Pass, Qin II was horrified and ordered Zhang Han to lead an army of 70 prisoners to meet Zhou Wen. In the end, Zhou Wen was defeated in Xiting. Since then, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's rebel army has never recovered.

Although Chen Sheng and Wu Guang did not revolt at this moment, it did not prevent Zhou Wen from joining Liu Ji or Xiang Yu's rebel army. If he arrived at Hangu Pass according to historical development, would Hu Hai also send out an army of prisoners?
Although Zhang Han has been idled, it doesn't mean they won't.

So he had to build base stations in these places, so that he could get the information as soon as possible, so that he wouldn't be defeated by the prisoner army.

There is also Xiang Liang, who was defeated by Zhang Han's prisoner army in Dingtao in history, and was finally killed.

Xiang Liang was his man, and he couldn't just watch being killed, so getting first-hand information was especially crucial.

"A Chao, how many cannons are made? Can a thousand cannons be produced in a few days?"

There is not much time left at this moment, and Hu Hai may attack Shanglinyuan at any time. Without artillery, it is difficult to win with only two thousand elites.

"Master, Ah Chao will try to make a thousand cannons within three days."

Ah Chao was called by Li Zhao to inquire about the situation, and seeing the young master's question, he gritted his teeth and answered.

It was too much effort to make a thousand cannons in a short period of time, but seeing the young master's face was very bad, he had no choice but to agree. In fact, it can be done as long as the production lasts all night. It's just that these craftsmen have suffered.

"Cai, prepare enough shells and gunpowder."

After Li Zhao finished his orders, he hurriedly asked the housekeeper to see him.

Not for anything else, just to let the housekeeper recruit some people to act as gunners.

The manpower of Shanglin Garden is really too small, so far there are only two thousand elites and less than a thousand guards, and most of the guards are sent out to collect information, so there are too few people available.

At present, the butler can only secretly recruit some people to act as gunners temporarily.

For this, I believe the housekeeper can do it.At present, it is planned to recruit thousands of gunners, and to deal with these thousand guns first, but this is only a preliminary plan, and more gunners will be needed later.

Not to mention that Shanglinyuan needs gunners to guard, Liu Ji and Zhang Han's rebels need a lot, otherwise it would be difficult for them to fight against the Qin army with artillery only with their primitive weapons.

The butler's actions were quick, and he brought thousands of people in just one day. These people must have been carefully selected, but they are also strong and strong, and they are good candidates to be gunners.

"Master, we both want to contribute to Shanglinyuan."

I don't know who secretly spread the news. After thousands of gunners entered the secret training, the princes of the Wang family and the Meng family came to the door.

The two young masters are the generals. Although they have been studying in the school, they can't change the belligerence in their bones.

After Wang Jian, only Wang Ben and his son are the only generals available to the Wang family. The fighting style of the Wang family is still there, and the Meng family is similar. There is Meng Tian guarding the north outside, and Meng Yi is inside. Unfortunately, Meng Yi lost his ownership after being captured. Shank, now just an idler.

"Meng Yi?" Li Zhao slapped himself on the head violently, he almost forgot about this athlete.

Although Meng Yi is a civil servant, he has inherited the fighting style of the Meng family in his bones. He is considered a good general. If he is brought over to form an artillery force, maybe he can make some achievements.

When Li Zhao observed the two of them, they were still healthy and strong, but they lacked a bit of aggressiveness. Of course, this can be tempered.

"Forget it! Since you two have such a strong heart, follow General Meng Yi!"

Seeing Li Zhao agreeing, the two were very happy, and quickly thanked them, and Li Zhao arranged for them to report to the Pao Shou Battalion.

Li Zhao went to see Meng Yi in person, but Meng Yi was very forthright, and immediately agreed. In this way, the Artillery Battalion had the mastermind, and Li Zhao was relieved a lot.

Three days later, Ah Chao really built a thousand cannons, and Li Zhao immediately asked Meng Yi to lead the artillery battalion to assemble, and he wanted to let the artillery battalion know the power of the red cannon in person.

This time, a full ten guns were pulled out as a demonstration.

When the ten cannonballs were fired two miles away, Meng Yi and the others were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths, and they swore that with this cannon, they would definitely stop Hu Hai and Qin soldiers from five miles away.

Li Zhao didn't answer, he had his own plan.

A few days later, a spy came to report that Liu Ji and Xiang Yu had made contact, and threatened that whoever reached Guanzhong first would own Guanzhong.

"It's pretty fast."

Li Zhao muttered, and immediately called A Chao again, telling them to hurry up and make the red cannon.

According to historical records, the rebel army will have thousands of vehicles and hundreds of thousands of soldiers to arrive at Hangu Pass. Qin II asked Zhang Han to lead the prisoner army to fight, and finally defeated the rebel army.

If this is the case, the rebel army will suffer heavy losses, and it will be much more difficult for him to use the rebel army to overthrow Hu Haizhi Qin, but how can he watch such a thing happen?He had to be ready for the rebel army.

So he asked Meng Yi to secretly dispatch [-] artillerymen to Xiting.

After half a month, everyone thought that Hu Hai would go to Shanglinyuan again, but what was strange was that there was no news. The sent detectives found that there was no movement in Xianyang, as if they had forgotten Shanglinyuan, but Li Zhao knew that Hu Hai would never forget Shanglinyuan. Lin Yuan.

They must have other calculations, what could it be?

Li Zhao frowned, and the next moment he thought of the key point, food and grass.

Troops and horses move ahead without food and forage.

But at the moment Xianyang lacks food and grass, they naturally have to prepare sufficient food and grass. The land of Bashu is a granary. If they want to have enough food and grass, they can only be transferred from the land of Bashu. Get out and attack Shanglinyuan.

"That's good, let me wait to recruit more artillery and make more red cannons, so that I can be more confident in dealing with the Hu Hai Qin army."

Meng Yi said beside him.He did not go to Hangu Pass with [-] artillerymen, but ordered the second son of Meng Wang's family to lead the troops.

"Being more confident in dealing with Hu Hai Qin's army?"

Li Zhao repeated these words, but did not directly follow Meng Yi's words.

Shanglinyuan has more time to prepare to deal with the Hu Hai Qin Army, so what about the Hu Hai Qin Army?No, there is more time to prepare.

Prepare?Li Zhao's forehead was wrinkled into several lines.

It is impossible for Xianyang not to know that the rebel army is attacking the city in a mighty way. If it really threatens the Guanzhong area, even if Hu Hai doesn't ask about the affairs of the court, he will definitely know. Then the focus will not be Shanglinyuan, but It is the rebel army.

The rebel army is the hope of overthrowing Hu Hai's Qin. If it is hit, it will be devastated. This is by no means empty talk. If historical development, the Great Qin will be destroyed, it is based on the lack of hot weapons, but with Xiang Gong's artillery Not necessarily.

Xiang Gong definitely has a lot of artillery. If they focus on the rebel army, even if they send [-] artillery to support them, it may not be of much use.

"We must let them focus on Shanglinyuan to paralyze them."

Li Zhao thought of the key point, and suddenly came up against the case, which made Meng Yi very baffled.

"What paralyzes them?"

"Take the initiative to attack, cut off its food and grass, and let it shift its focus to Shanglin Garden."

This is the best way to deal with it right now.

If the Huhai Qin army wanted to go hundreds of miles to attack the rebels, they needed enough food and grass, but if they cut off their food and grass, they could only focus on Shanglin Garden. After all, Shanglin Garden is not far from Xianyang City, so they don't need much food and grass.

This is not the main reason, the main reason is that Shanglinyuan has enough food, and taking Shanglinyuan will have a continuous supply of food, which is beneficial to the war.

The main thing is that they will focus on Shanglinyuan, so that the rebel army will have a chance to easily break through Xianyang, and the overthrow of Hu Haizhi Qin is just around the corner.

But Hu Hai will focus on whether Shanglinyuan will be captured by Shanglinyuan. Li Zhao is not worried about this for the time being. It is impossible to go down to Shanglinyuan.

And as long as there is enough time, the rebel army can take Xianyang.

This is a good strategy.
