"General, it's getting late. Should I camp and rest and continue to march tomorrow morning?"

At dusk, the sun gradually dimmed, and the mountain road at Jingxing Pass became gloomy and dark. Sometimes a few howls of wild beasts came, which made it even more invasive. Meng Bao looked around at the steep terrain on both sides of the mountain road, which was in line with the characteristics of the trapped ground in military tactics. He was afraid of being ambushed, so he hurriedly caught up with Meng Tian's footsteps and spoke to dissuade him.

"Mengbao, the general has his own considerations, we can just follow the order!"

Meng Hu glared at Meng Bao and scolded him. The responsibility of the personal soldiers is to protect the main general. Meng Hu never thought that Meng Tian would train him to become a personal soldiers. Unlike Meng Bao's eagerness to learn, Meng Hu always followed Meng Tian's leader. He never doubted the orders given by Meng Tian, ​​even if he went to the mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire, he would definitely complete them.

"Military arts are everywhere, and soldiers are very fast. When I transported grain to Jingxing Pass, I observed the terrain of Jingxing Road, and the Zhao army did not build a second line of defense."

Perhaps the Zhao army did not expect that Jingxing Pass would really fall. You should know that Jingxing Road is not conducive to the deployment of troops and horses. One man is the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it, and it is difficult for the Qin army to fly over. Unfortunately, even the strongest fortress is often broken from the inside. The Qin army's small troops touched the Taihang Mountains, attacked the Zhao army's grain transport team, and sneaked into Jingxing Pass, which was largely due to the Zhao army's expectations.

"Zhao Tong, a man from a royal family, was OK to defend the city, but he didn't have the courage to fight to the death. He fled with his personal soldiers, and the number was too small, and he was as anxious as a dog that was strayed from a family, and could not set up an ambush for our army on Jingxing Road."

Meng Tian noticed the worries in Meng Bao's eyes. As a personal general, Meng Bao's behavior was like this, let alone ordinary Qin soldiers.

Sometimes, soldiers only need to know the orders, and they can be used, but they cannot be used. If soldiers know too much, it will easily leak secrets, and it will also increase the confusion in the soldiers' hearts. As the saying goes, the more they know, the more they think. If they think too much, they will easily be unable to sleep. However, the use of military tactics is very small. When soldiers already have doubts, the generals can no longer hide and cover them.

"Now, for our army, time is life. If you chase Zhao Tong without giving him a chance to breathe, the Zhao people would not have thought that our army would march urgently and penetrate into the heart of Zhao!"

Meng Tian's steps did not stop. While walking, he deliberately increased his voice: "After the Taihang Mountains, the vast plain is right in front of him. At that time, the sky was high and the birds were flying, and the sea was wide and the fish were leaping. No one could stop our army again!"

Of course, we have to wait until Jing Su transports the war horses across the Taihang Mountains in time. Meng Tian did not say this truth. When boosting morale, he had to give the soldiers hope as much as possible. In the adverse factors, the ship will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge. Take one step at a time.

"The general is right. Everyone speeds up. Shiyi stockpiled the Zhao army's food. The Zhao people prepared the meal. Unfortunately, they were kept for our army after all."

Meng Hu loudly agreed with Meng Tian's words, his face filled with unsuspecting expressions.

"General, do you have meat?"

When he heard that Shiyi had stored food, many soldiers' eyes shone brightly.

Various granaries were built every 100 miles in the Qin State's Guanzhong. When the Qin army marched in Guanzhong, they were not worried that they would starve. Before leaving Hangu Pass, as the younger brother of the old Qin people in Guanzhong, they would get a few slices of meat and eat and have a tooth sacrifice. After arriving at the Jinyang camp, although the Qin army had no shortage of military rations, it was not easy to operate, and the Qin army's military rations seemed in short supply. There was no meat in the bowl for ten days and half a month.

"Yes, if you are the first to enter Shiyi, you will be rewarded with a pig's trotter!"

Meng Tian pointed to the soldier who asked about the meat and said loudly.

At this time, the temptation of the pig's trotter seemed to exceed the attraction of the title. The soldier's face was flushed, saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, his eyes were shining, and his steps became bright and brisk. The pig's trotter that he gave Meng Tian a reward was bound to win.

What a foodie! Meng Tian couldn't help laughing. It seems that the potential of a foodie cannot be measured.

"General, are there any women?"

The marching atmosphere suddenly became cheerful, and the soldiers' pace accelerated, but they were not idle.

Men always have three words to do without women, and this is especially true for soldiers who lick blood on the edge of the knife.

"Of course, there is the Nulu of Zhao, which is famous all over the world. I will ensure that you will tremble with your legs when you come out!" Meng Tian would not suppress the soldiers' desires at this time, but he only mentioned Nulu, and good women would not do it.

"But you remember, after you finish, you still have to pay what you should pay. I don't want the Zhao people to say that we Qin people are not willing to pay for prostitutes!"

"Hahaha······"

As soon as Meng Tian finished speaking, bursts of laughter rang out on the mountain road.

These soldiers have been with Meng Tian for more than a year or two. Although the Qin army has no military pay and has to bring their own weapons and armor, it is undoubtedly the easiest to join the army under Meng Tian.

The unified procurement of military uniforms is both durable and cheap. When occupying Nanyang, South Korea, the Qin army selectively eliminated the uncooperative tyrants. Except for those who handed over to the government, all the Qin army made a fortune.

"It is easy to get rich by following General Xiao Meng in a war."

In private, many soldiers have this feeling. Meng Tian’s father, Meng Wu, was strict in governing the army and was completely unscrupulous wherever he passed, but ordinary soldiers had fewer opportunities to make money. In comparison, soldiers were more willing to join the army under Meng Tian.

Meng Tian is not greedy for money, but he knows that if he wants a horse to run, he has to let the horse eat grass. It is not contradictory to not greedy for money and allow others to make money.

The Qin soldiers' mood suddenly became cheerful. Since Meng Tian said that he would ask women to pay, Meng Tian's temperament would naturally make the sound of copper coins bumping in their pockets.

Having money is not omnipotent, but you must not have money!

During the Warring States Period, merchants were active, commodity economy was developed, and the concept of money was deeply rooted in people's hearts. When feeling the soldiers' desire for money, Meng Tian's heart was filled with pain.

The money obtained by Nanyang and his party spent almost all the money they got from fighting against the local tyrants. Although Meng Duo donated a lot of military expenditure every year, it was still a drop in the bucket for a hundred thousand troops.

Those who serve in the army only need to eat food on time, without thinking about anything, and without caring about anything. But as the main general, you must not only be responsible for the training of soldiers and formulate strategies and tactics, but also have to worry about what soldiers eat, drink, and whether they have money to spend.

Mencius said that those who work hard can bring others, while those who work hard can bring others. But more often, the things that those who work hard can take extreme time and energy. It is not easy to be a leader. In the future, they will have to be criticized as an exploiting class. It is exhausting to think about it.

Recalling the money and grain books counted by Feng Wuze, Meng Tian seemed to have seen the well that was about to run out.

"Money, the key is the money problem!"
