Three hundred and twentieth chapters counting crusade(2/2)
"That's very good. Thank you for your hard work, Yan Shiling." Chen Ping nodded in agreement.
"Prime Minister Chen and Yan Shiling said that it is difficult to cross the Qinling Mountains. The refugees in Hanzhong will definitely think so. According to the art of war, attack the enemy by surprise and attack them unprepared. If we want to quickly quell the riot, we must use surprise troops.
.So, Hu believes that forming a surprise force and heading south from Baoxie Road is the key to defeating the enemy." Meng Hu said in a deep voice.
Although he had not led troops for a long time, Meng Hu's military insights were still there, and his advice was immediately recognized by Zhang Han, Xin Zhui and other veteran generals.
Meng Hu's proposal was accepted, and naturally, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the rescue force. This temporary appointment made Meng Hu extremely excited.
"Meng Tingwei, although there are too many county soldiers in various parts of Hanzhong, there is still a branch of our Daqin Army stationed in the Jushui area. Due to the steep terrain in the Jushui area, it is extremely difficult for the rogue bandits to capture it. Please follow Xie Xie
When you enter Hanzhong, you can first go to the Jushui area and contact Peng Sheng from the military department. Apart from anything else, weapons are also guaranteed." Chen Ping thought for a while and ordered.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. I will send someone to contact Peng Sheng in advance and let them feel at ease, waiting for my reinforcements to arrive." Meng Hu agreed.
The Central Committee of the Qin State finally unified their opinions and reached a plan to extinguish the riots in Hanzhong. The scouts heading to Nanyang County ran desperately along the post road in the wind and snow to deliver the message. Along the way, both men and horses were using their utmost endurance and
The speed persisted.
Nanyang County.
After the reconciliation between Qin and Chu, Qin general Zhang Ping led his troops to retreat to Wancheng according to Li Yuan's order, and then served as the governor of Nanyang County. This place is now in the hinterland of Qin State. Except for the Funiu Mountain area, there are still bandits.
Outside the Kou, there were almost no major enemies, and Zhang Han's troops mostly focused on maintaining local security, and could be regarded as Qin's second-line troops.
There is no battle to fight.
This meant that he could not enter Li Yuan's sight. Unwilling to remain silent, Zhang Ping wrote to Chang'an several times, hoping to ask his eldest brother Zhang Han to tell Li Yuan and transfer him to other places. However, Zhang Han saw Li Yuan.
There weren't many opportunities, so the matter was put off.
Zhang Ping, who had nowhere to vent his energy, had no choice but to vent his anger on the practicing county soldiers. When the scouts' urgent report arrived, Zhang Ping was about to lead a group of county soldiers out of the city for training.
The refugees in Hanzhong rioted, and the imperial court urgently mobilized soldiers from Nanyang County to put down the rebellion.
This unexpected news shocked Zhang Ping, but he was also overjoyed. Without hesitation, he shouted and ordered more troops to be gathered, while he personally led the training county soldiers and rushed towards Wuguan.
Compared with the anxious Zhang Ping, Wang Shang got the news later. The scouts who reported the news entered Bajun from Wuguan via Micang Road, and then transferred from Bajun to Shujun. The journey was quite difficult.
Unexpectedly, the scout who finally saw Wang Shang fell down as soon as he took out the silk letter from his arms.
Those who can serve as scouts are mostly brave men in the army.
But this time, a team of scouts sent from Chang'an rushed to report the news. When they arrived in Shu County, only two or three people were left, and the only one who insisted on seeing Wang Shang was left. In the end, even this one
Even the strongest scouts and soldiers collapsed from exhaustion.
Wang Shang just returned from the south of Shu County.
After taking charge of Shu County and Bashu County, Wang Shang on the one hand appeased the many tribes of different ethnic groups in the county, and on the other hand mobilized manpower to widen the Stone Cow Road, and began to build the Five Feet Road south of the river.
It is the steep mountain road that later generations called the Ancient Tea Horse Road.
The significance of the Tea Horse Road is no less than that of the Silk Road leading to the Western Regions, and Wang Shang wanted to give the Qin State a second wing for its revival.
The soldiers of Shu County.
