Chapter 80 Intercession
The cold current from the extreme north crossed the Loess Plateau and blew into Guanzhong later than Longxi, and it was also later crossed the Zhongtiao Mountains and blew into the Central Plains. However, the winter evening was limited this year. When the Chu army in Longxi County braved the wind and snow to advance towards Guanzhong, the sand sea also began to fly. Yesterday, the yellowish field woke up and turned into a world covered with silver. The camps in the military camp collapsed a lot at night - the snow fell on the black curtain, and soon accumulated a thick layer to crush the black curtain. Some soldiers were frostbite, and a small number were frozen to death.
The first thing Wang Jian did when he was promoted to the tent in the morning was to ask the lieutenant to report the number of casualties of the lieutenant. Usually these tasks were put at the end. In spring, summer, summer and autumn, the military camps were prone to epidemics. From autumn to winter, epidemics were no longer the focus of his attention. However, the wind and snow frostbite were frozen to death and frostbite, so he mentioned the issue of soldiers being frozen to death and keeping warm as they kept their cold.
Wang Jian had a shogunate, and each lieutenant also had his own small shogunate. The system of the small shogunate is like the big shogunate, and there are also 72 people. Among them, astronomical strategists must be "stealing the altar, waiting for the weather, proposing the time, examining the talisman, and calculating the disasters". The law calculation should be "planning the walls of the three armies, food, and financial resources". A night of wind and snow, astronomical strategists must be warned in advance. Today, the wind stops and the snow is shining brightly. The law calculation should quickly count the casualties of the lieutenant and report to the lieutenant and the shogunate.
"I lieutenant died last night and injured 769 people."
"This lieutenant died last night and injured 658 people."
"This lieutenant died thirty-four people last night and injured 814 people..."
According to each other's seats, one captain reported the number of casualties of our captain. The number of soldiers who frostbite was not considered to be frozen, but only a few dozen people. Many people were accidentally frostbite. Unfortunately, the shogunate alchemists did not have much method to frostbite, and most of them could only let them recover naturally. When the captains reported, Wang Jian habitually squinted his eyes or even closed his eyes and listened to the captains' reports. Only when problems were found would he open his eyes and look directly at the speakers.
"Ben, our lieutenant died four...four people last night, and one thousand injured..." Wang Jian opened his eyes when the commander Kaorukatsu spoke. Kaorukatsu, who was already a little nervous, saw the general's eyes shot directly at him, and was so shocked that they could not make a sound. The two of them looked at each other for half a second, and was interrupted by Kaorukatsu's bowing his head.
Wang Jian coughed, his nose sniffed in the air for a few times, and said with a smile: "The Duke's long robe and hoarseness are very fresh today."
The clothing of the Duwei is not much different from that of the Qin soldiers. The biggest difference is the crown. The Duwei is all with double-rolled tailed horn crowns, while the soldiers are mostly wearing the most ordinary leather hats. Some people wear the most common leather hats, and those with titles wear single boards and long board crowns. In addition to the crown, the difference is armor. The difference in clothes is not obvious. Everyone has long robes with a knee-length hem, while the lower robes are tars. The long robes are generally two, one outside and one inside, and the color is different.
Wang Jian praised Jiao Sheng's long robe and the tars were very new. The gaze of the commander in the tent immediately gathered on Jiao Sheng's clothes. Under the lace-decorated thin-leaf armor, the green long robe was indeed very new, and the red robe was also very new. This was a new clothes. Before the snow, the north wind was swept wildly, and the wind and sand were everywhere. General Wang Jian was often dusty. The other clothes were not only dirty, but also old. Qin was short of food and Qin was also short of cloth. It was indeed a bit strange that Jiao Sheng changed his new clothes today. I don't know when to change them.
"Last general, last general..." Wang Jian's praise made Jiao Sheng bow his head, and he didn't know how to explain why his clothes were new.
"I heard that the commander was drunk last night..." Wang Jian looked at the lowered Jiao Sheng, and the words he said made Jiao Sheng tremble. "So today we are gathering together in new clothes, can this happen?"
"Ah?" The trembling Kaorukatsu couldn't help but say, and hurriedly said, "No...nothing is happening. General, General, observe clearly."
"Mingcha?" Wang Jian narrowed his eyes and looked back with his heart on his back. A soldier walked to Wang Jian with a bunch of clothes in his arms. An officer wearing a crown also walked to Wang Jian from the back tent. Jiao Sheng saw this person and seemed to see a ghost.
"Du Zuo Zheng, I, Qin Law, the person who falsely accused me, was he drunk last night?" The atmosphere in the curtain immediately changed. This was no longer a daily military service, it was a trial.
"Report to the general, the commander was drunk last night. I was afraid that the general would smell the wine this morning, so I changed into new clothes." Du Zuoxiao did not dare to look up when he spoke, but he did not look at the commander, but turned to look at the other commander. "I didn't drink alone last night, and the villain heard the voice of the commander Hua outside the tent last night."
There were very few drinks alone. When Du Zuoxiao looked in the crowd, Hua Du felt a sense of distress. Seeing him calling him, he collapsed on the ground before he came out. Wang Jian seemed not to see Hua Dun who was lying on the ground and Jiao Sheng who was kneeling down. He only shouted: "Where is Jun Zheng?"
"The subordinate is here." The army was leaving the line and stood in front of Wang Jian.
"What's the fault of drinking?" Wang Jian asked again. Hearing his voice, Jiao Sheng, who could not hold on, collapsed to the ground.
"Report to the general, he was sentenced to death by drinking alcohol with the order of the general." Jun Zheng said. "Drinking alcohol without caring about the coldness of the soldiers will be more guilty..."
"The eldest son, the eldest son," when Jiao Sheng collapsed, Hua Dien, who heard that he had committed a death sentence, mustered up some courage and walked to the guard Fusu, kneeling down and bowed to his head. "The eldest son helps him. The general is harsh. Qin Lu never committed any death sentence. The last general came to the lieutenant's tent, and he had to drink one rank in a good manner. Later, the last general inspected overnight. Only ten people died, only ten people died!"
"Since you have drunk, it's illegal." Wang Jian looked at Hua Dun and was very unhappy. He shouted in a deep voice: "Where is the soldier?"
Wang Jian shouted, and the shogunate soldiers rushed forward. Under the instructions of Junzheng, they quickly raised Kaorukatsu and dragged it out. When it was Hua Di's turn, Hua Di, who was unwilling to accept his fate, suddenly hugged Fusu's feet and shouted: "Sir, please help me! Help me. I will not die until my sin! I will not die..."
"Rare!" Wang Jian shouted in shock. He didn't expect Hua Min to hug Fusu's feet.
"Irregular!" The general of the guard behind Fusu also shouted loudly. Zaras, who was sitting beside Fusu, hurriedly drew his sword, and the army was worried that Huamin would be unfavorable to Fusu.
Fortunately, Fusu was not panicked, but was just a little helpless. He didn't know how to deal with the lieutenant who held his legs. When he wanted to speak, Hua Di, who was crying, let go of his legs in a fright. The shogunate soldiers did not dare to neglect him and quickly carried him out. At this time, Hua Di began to wail and ask for help again, but after he stepped out of the shogunate, his voice became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.
"I am not careful, please forgive me for your crime." Wang Jian stood up and sued Fusu. Although Fusu was tall, he was still a young man in Zibo.
"What's the crime of the general?" Fusu Qiang smiled. He originally wanted to plead for the captain who begged him just now, but his father's words echoed in his ears. He finally endured the pleading words and asked Wang Jian to return to the table.
At this time, the lieutenants continued to report the casualties of the lieutenants last night, and then talked about military affairs as usual. The lieutenants dispersed until noon. Fusu did not feel that today's military discussion was different from the past, but this month he was rushed out of Xianyang. Aristotle IV, who was sitting with him, saw something strange. After killing two lieutenants, the remaining lieutenants were all trembling, worried that they would be sued by their subordinates for any mistakes. When they left, they bowed to the ground, not bowing like before.
"Only by letting them be in fear every moment, they will fight to the battlefield." In the tent of the guards late at night, Aristotle IV looked at his students and hesitated for a long time before saying this. Although his expectations for Fusu were not as high as that of Wei Wuji, Wuji's ending was very tragic. He died in a forged accident and was pushed off the cliff by Zaras.
"It must be like this?" Fusu looked at his teacher. In the morning, he almost pleaded for Hua Dun in the shogunate.
"This must be done, General Wang is right." Aristotle IV smiled.
After saying this, he knew what Fusu wanted to say. He had mentioned more than once that when the Persians invaded Greece, the citizens of Greek states took up weapons for the freedom of the city-states, and they fought bravely with an astonishing number of Persian troops without fear. He had mentioned more than once to Fusu what freedom is, and those authoritarian monarchs in the East. He knew that Fusu would find it difficult to accept his words, so he added: "At least in Qinni, this must be done."
"I don't want this." Fusu knew that in the eyes of his teacher, Qin was a standard oriental autocratic country. Her degree of autocracy was no different from that of the Persian Empire. She used interests and violent coercion to drive her subjects to serve the king. The deep worries in his heart were also here: he hoped that Qin would become a Greek-style free city-state, but under the guidance of his father, Qin was becoming an autocratic empire.
"You must accept." The tempering makes people precocious, Aristotle IV understands his students. "Otherwise, your father will let your brother inherit his throne, not you."
"But I..." To the prince, the teacher was his earliest aide. Fusu believed that the teacher was telling the truth. This time he went to Huai County to greet his father, and he felt his father's indifference towards him. If it were the past, the father would definitely not have let him come to the Shahai Camp in a hurry.
"Fusu, you must gain the trust of your father, just as Alexander the Great has the trust of his father Philip II." Aristotle IV advised again. "If you want to change anything and do something, you can after you become King Qinni."
"From the future?" Fusu recited the word and shook his head: "No. My mother is a Chuni, father..."
