Chapter 52 The Commander of Nanyang

The highest level of using troops is not a victory in every battle. Excellent generals from ancient times to the present yearn for the realm of defeating soldiers without fighting.

The cautious Wang Jian paid more attention to reducing casualties in the army. Even though the Qin people were good at fighting, one was killed less, and they tried their best to save the lives of experienced soldiers. When the news that the King of Han had cedeed Nanyang came, Wang Jian, who had always been steady, almost knocked over the porcelain cup for drinking tea, and was quite out of control. But no one noticed that Wang Jian concealed the past without a trace.

"Meng Tian, ​​King Han really let him cheat him!" Wang Jian was in a good mood. Meng Tian served under his command. This time, he was Meng Tian who blackmailed Nanyang. He was responsible for military pressure. He was naturally indispensable. As the Yulin Lang of the King of Qin, Meng Tian was born in the King of Qin and got the moon first. He would definitely be valued by the King of Qin. However, when Meng Tian was in the army, he did not affect Wang Jian's military use because of his relationship with the King of Qin. Deep in his heart, Wang Jian admired this junior very much.

After receiving the edict of King Han, the Nanyang defenders, who had been frightened for a long time, quickly withdrew from Nanyang. Some of them were not open to their eyes and would not be Wang Jian's opponent. At the end of recent years, a victory was delivered to Xianyang. After taking the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Qin army won the land of Nanyang without any bloodshed, further opening up the channel to enter the Central Plains.

As winter went and spring came, in the county magistrate's mansion in Wancheng, Nanyang County, Meng Tian carried out the Qin King's decree from Xianyang: "Appoint Qu Teng as the acting county magistrate of Nanyang, Meng Tian as the acting county magistrate, and Shi Lu as the supervisor of the censor."

Qu Teng? Such a name is so strange! When I first saw the name Qu Teng, Meng Tian didn't remember who this person was for a long time.

During the Warring States Period, even for a long time after the reunification of the Qin State, many people in Chinese history books only saw names and surnames. Of course, Meng Tian did not know who Qu Teng was. Historical records show that Nei Shiteng once defended Nanyang and later led his army to destroy Han. Among the six countries, only Han had separated from the military merit books of the Wang father and son.

"Qu Teng, who served as a county magistrate in Longxi, repelled Yuezhi's attack several times, fought bravely and upright and ruthlessly." Seeing Meng Tian's somewhat puzzled look, Gan Luo immediately revealed Qu Teng's resume. When he was studying in the school, Gan Luo had the opportunity to read various books of Qin and saw Qu Teng's name. "This Shi Lu was a disciple of the Mo family and became an official. He was originally assisting Zheng State in building the water conservancy project in Guanzhong, but unexpectedly he was sent to Nanyang."

Meng Tian is naturally familiar with the name of Shi Lu. The famous Lingqu was built by Shi Lu. The historical direction of this time and space has not changed, but the trajectory of the original historical figures seems to have also changed. Before Shi Lu presided over the Lingqu project, Meng Tian was not sure of any position, but he is sure that Shi Lu had never served in Nanyang.

"Feng Wuze, the county magistrate, the censor is about to take office. I will leave the two mansions to you!" After receiving the land in Nanyang, Meng Tian led his army to Wancheng and began to establish military equipment. He chose the original county magistrate's office as the base camp, waiting for the Qin court to send someone to take over. In the end, Ying Zheng gave him the Nanyang County Captain, although he was the agent.

Ying Zheng asked Meng Tian to serve as the commander of Nanyang County, and was a little helpless. All the ants in Xianyang City knew that Meng Tian was a die-hard supporter of Ying Zheng. Meng Tian was leading the army for the first time, and not only gradually grasped the morale of the army, but also won the land of Nanyang at a slight cost. The young Meng Tian gradually gained the prestige of a general in command.

At this time, Meng Tian led his army back to Xianyang, and many people would definitely be nervous. After taking military power, Ying Zheng gradually consolidated his power, but there were still some guards stationed their troops and secretly resisting Ying Zheng's leadership. Ying Zheng was worried that Meng Tian would return to the capital and let these people take risks.

After thinking about it, Li Si, the Prime Minister's Mansion, secretly surrendered to Ying Zheng, and made suggestions to Ying Zheng, temporarily arranged for Meng Tian to lead the troops outside, thinking that Wang Jian would return to the court. The Qin State was a practice that the general who had won the battle would return to the capital to receive the reward of the King of Qin, which was quite a bit like a Western triumphal ceremony. However, in ancient China, the Arc de Triomphe did not build, but the solemn ancestral temple assumed this role.

The king welcomed the generals to triumph in front of the ancestral temple, offered prisoners to his ancestors, contributed spoils to his ancestors, and comforted his ancestors. This was a great honor for the soldiers. When Wu Qi was leading the army, the State of Wei accepted Wu Qi's military ideas and invited soldiers with great meritorious deeds to attend banquets held in the ancestral temple every year, making different positions according to the corresponding merits and enjoying different foods. Over the years, the morale of Wei State was high and he was proud of his meritorious deeds. Later, Wu Qi led 50,000 soldiers who did not make meritorious contributions, defeated the 500,000 troops of Qin in one fell swoop, and completely regained the land of the Xihe River. At that time, the military of Qin was not weak, and Wu Qi had no choice but to defeat the reincarnation. He had more than 70 battles in all sizes and never lost.

"When Wang Jian returns to Xianyang this time, he will probably become Ying Zheng's imperial general." Like Meng Wu, Wang Jian has a strong soldier temperament. Even though he is very strategic, he does not have much political ambitions and focuses on leading troops all his life. After Wang Jian communicates with Ying Zheng, with Wang Jian's sophistication, he will definitely realize Ying Zheng's talent and will be more willing to lead the army under Ying Zheng.

When Ying Zheng's general was not short of food or soldiers, as long as you could win a battle, Ying Zheng would do his best to meet your requirements. When Wang Jian destroyed Chu and led 600,000 people, Wang Jian on the front line did not worry about food for a moment. The Qin army had enough food and had enough hormones and hormones. He could only play wrestling and throw shot put to release his vigorous energy.

"Su Jiao, Shima, you train your troops well and show me your appearance. The most fundamental thing about Koreans is the sword in our hands!"

"Li Bi, your cavalry must continue to improve their cavalry skills. When fighting against the Chu army, many knights did not die at the hands of the enemy, but instead fell off their horses and were trampled to death."

"Luo Jia, you can study hard how to better attack the enemy's military formation!"

"Ren Gu, you lead the military soldiers to patrol hard and commit crimes. Neither Qin nor Korean people should be tolerated!"

Conquest is easy, but it is rare to be effective in occupying the land, and to use the manpower, material resources and financial resources of the occupied land. Think about Germany during World War II, occupying so many places in Europe, but implementing an unpopular occupation strategy. Not only does it provide assistance, it breeds flies-like guerrillas.

"Jing Su, the black eagle you commanded must be given priority!" After everyone left, Meng Tian explained to Jing Su separately: "These people can be regarded as dead soldiers, but they cannot be as cheap as dead soldiers. I want them to be eyes, provide detailed information, and remove dangers from the budding state when necessary. Choose a few people who know Chu local dialects and send them to Chu State...

The six Shandong countries are worth Qin's efforts, only Zhao State in the north and Chu State in the south. If there is no accident, Zhao State will definitely be Wang Jian's on-tram meal. When Wang Jian makes the contribution to destroying the country, Ying Zheng will promote other generals to share some of Wang Jian's pressure and glory. Checks and balances are always the balance technique that the monarch needs to learn. Meng Tian remembers that when Li Xin destroyed Chu, he was Li Xin's deputy general. Although there may be changes in this time and space, Meng Tian thinks it is better to prepare early.

The more you prepare, the closer you will be to success. Deep in your heart, Meng Tian believes in this sentence without doubt.
