Legends in Chu and Han - C335
Long Tianyu explained once, allowing everyone to understand the situation, they nodded their heads, thinking that their master’s every action was out of their expectations, and this time he was trying to make progress by retreating, so he was trying to make progress in the future, hoping that he would be able to withstand the test, if not it would be easy for him to leave, and end up in the depths of Shu.
Fan Kuai shouted: “Master, when the time is decided, the first one to take the vanguard cannot lose track of me, Fan Kuai!”
Long Tianyu smiled: “Prefects, then General Fan Kuai will lead the troops and send the troops out first!”
Fan Kuai laughed dryly, the grumbling in his chest didn’t come true, he just sat there and listened to the Duke of Han’s meticulous plans.
Chunyu Wan’er and Zhang Liang kept all of this in their eyes. They noticed that he had a unique point of view and his thoughts were different than others, he even had to carry out various reforms and stabilize the morale of the troops while talking and laughing. All of these may seem unrealistic, but in Long Tianyu’s hands, no one could doubt his abilities.
Long Tianyu continued: There are two urgent matters at hand. First, we must dispatch troops to rush back to the Pengcheng, inform Xiao He, Cao Can and the rest of his family members to pack up their luggage, and take away all the treasures and talents that are beneficial to them in the future. Leaving behind a group of Death Soldiers and an active Pengcheng scout to report to us on the situation of the Central Plains and the Chu Nation.
Second, we need an army to scout the path in the Sichuan, to cultivate and pave the path in order to make preparations for entering Shu. There is an ancient saying: It is extremely difficult for Shu Dao, the journey will be arduous, not only do we need to go from the proper path to occupy the fortress, please disperse the Qin Soldier, and we also need to exterminate the Qin Soldier that are participating in the process. We cannot allow our troops to be threatened while entering Shu to explore the other paths, the heavenly dangers in the rivers, improve the accuracy of the map, and from now on, this will be our base. After entering Shu, do not disturb or bully the local residents. You must build a good relationship with them and ask them about the local clans, tribes, and the famous sages in the rural and urban areas. These people will help us to establish our footing in the Sichuan! ”
Everyone had to admit that the Commander’s demeanor was something that he could release, and there were no negative emotions brought about by the separation of the Pengcheng s. It was as if the other half of the mountain did not care at all, or it could be said that Long Tianyu’s ambition was not there, but had greater ambitions for the future.
Zhang Liang spoke up from the side: “The Sichuan, in the Pre-Qin era, was called Ba in the east and Shu in the west; Legend has it that the earliest King of Shu was the Sericulture, and the Chronicles of Shu have a record of the Sericulture that began in the stone chamber of Minshan.
“Later on, when Shu gradually grew stronger, she attacked Qin Shi City’s capital, Yong, and took the Southern Zheng. It was not until the battle between Ba and Shu that King Qin Huiwang sent Sima Wai and Zhang Yi to wipe out Shu during her reign (3 B.C.). When Bayo was destroyed by Chu in the War Country, Chu established the Witch County in Ba Di. At the end of the War Country, the strong Qin Nation stole Ba from the hands of the Chu Nation, and from then on, the Sichuan was ruled by Qin. ”
It was said that listening to Jun was better than reading books for ten years. Long Tianyu listened as Zhang Liang gave a brief summary of the history of Sichuan and the number of tribes, he had some understanding of Shu. As for the details, he would have to go back and ask Wan Er, Yueyao and Zhang Liang for guidance.
Long Tianyu, Ge Li, Zhou Chang, and the five thousand riders will be in charge of sending the letters back to the Pengcheng. This general will definitely pass on the message and protect the families of all the soldiers on the way.
Chen Xi, Zhang Yun, Chai Wu, the four of you shall be the deputy generals, and lead the thirty thousand strong army towards the Sichuan. On the way, not only must you build a bridge on the road, you will also encounter the obstruction of the Qin Soldier, the mission is very heavy, let the four of you lead your troops there. ”
Rather than staying in the city and doing nothing, instead, receiving the anger of the Chu Army, it would be better for them to lead their troops towards the southwest, where they would meet some Qin Soldier who was resisting stubbornly or a bandit group, and also where they would kill and perform meritorious deeds and bring their troops over here. They thought that they could fight on the battlefield and happily fight a few battles, but who would have thought that right after arriving at the Hangu Pass, the Qin Dynasty would perish.
Wang Bin suddenly opened his mouth: “Senior General, I am more familiar with the mountain roads and the Sichuan’s Chuan Road in the southwest region of Xianyang. I can choose a few warriors who pass by frequently in the downfall army and business brigades, and organize a vanguard to scout for the road, and tell a story about the local affairs and situation. This will reduce a lot of misunderstandings and troubles, and reduce the number of casualties to the lowest.”
thought that it made sense, the generals who were sent were all people from the Jiang Zhe region, with big differences in environment, they would definitely not be able to adapt to the soil and water, adding the Sichuan’s precipice, the abyss was everywhere, the topography was unique and it belonged to a basin, the forest was dense and humid, poisonous snakes and insects were everywhere, and if there were no guides and people who were familiar with the environment, it was very easy for them to go in the wrong direction and enter the desperate situation.
Fine, we will order General Wang Bin to be the vanguard general, to be responsible for organizing a small team that is familiar with the terrain of the Sichuan, lead the troops to the front, serve as a guide for the army, and enter the Sichuan. Within two days, get everything ready.
Wang Bin was very happy, he replied: “Understood, Senior General!”
Long Tianyu also ordered the other generals to guard the four gates of Xianyang and to patrol the city. They were to strictly forbid the marquis’ loyal troops from seizing and bullying the citizens in the city while some armed men were to punish them according to law. At the same time, they were to spread the matter of abolishing the laws of Qin and the three parts of the law to some of the important towns in the northwest of Xianyang, such as the areas of Chen Cang Guan and Feng Xiang, making the prestige and benevolence of the Han Army deeply rooted in one’s heart.
After the arrangements were made, the generals withdrew from the main hall and went back to prepare. The troops that needed to be deployed were to be counted, and the patrols were to be carried out in an orderly fashion.
Leaving behind Pure Yu Wan’er’s handwritten letter, Zhang Liang was responsible for formulating some orders to restrain the army’s actions after entering Shu, preventing them from disturbing the local citizens, and so on. Li Yueyao and Yi Yi had to formulate a new plan to pacify the citizens of the city, taking into account the rewards and punishments of the officials of Qin Dynasty, the help of the aristocrat merchants, the recovery of the economy in the city, the stability of the people’s hearts, etc., and on the basis of Long Tianyu’s law, he would formulate a series of measures to ensure the stability of the Xianyang. After all, the Han Army would stay in the city for one to two months.
Only Yu Ji remained. Ying Ying walked over and hugged Long Tianyu’s waist as she said in a delicate and sweet voice, “Long Lang, what is Ji Er doing? We all have things to do, we’re the only ones left.”
Long Tianyu laughed blandly: “Walk with your husband for a bit, get some fresh air. After half a year of endless battles, I have been feeling exhausted to the point of wanting to rest for a while, to lead a leisurely life. Now, with you by my side, along with Wan’er, Yueyao, Yi Yi, and the families of Pengcheng, we can finally get together to live a peaceful life.”
Yu Ji seemed a little fascinated as she said, “If there’s no war, how wonderful it would be to sacrifice too many warriors and commoners for the sake of the Rivers and Mountains Society. As long as the people of this world can live a peaceful life, anyone can be their sovereign!”
Long Tianyu knew in his heart that Yu Ji was a gentle, compassionate and compassionate woman who hated war and slaughter. He thought about the peace and harmony of the people and simply thought about it a little before saying, “It’s a pity that the various dukes did not want to be the emperor themselves, and swallowed everyone’s territory. The seventeen dukes of Central Plains would soon be in a chaotic battle, and if the citizens wanted to reduce the suffering from the war, then they would have to have strong warriors to stop them.
