When Zhao Tuo heard the news of Xinzheng's rebellion, he couldn't help but look east.
"Zhang Liang..."
It was the first name that came to his mind.
Zhao Tuo didn't know whether Zhang Liang was involved in the Xinzheng rebellion, but he couldn't escape his involvement. In Zhao Tuo's memory, this descendant of Prime Minister Han was a die-hard anti-Qin faction.
Xiao He and Han Xin can still take it for their own use.
But Zhang Liang, he and Qin are the type who will fight to the death, and there is absolutely no possibility of surrendering.
The emergence of the Xinzheng Rebellion and the subsequent death of Han Wangan did not immediately affect Zhao Tuo's life, but his heart was lifted.
There isn't much time left.
Sure enough, with the death of King An Yi of Han, two months passed in the blink of an eye, and big actions began within the Qin State.
The first thing is spring plowing.
The Qin State has deployed troops abroad for several consecutive years. It conquered Yan last year, destroyed Zhao the year before, and Guanzhong Qingzhuang went on an expedition. As a result, the harvests in the past two years were not particularly good, and grain and grass needed to be transferred from Bashu.
Now that the war has come to an end, although Xin Sheng and Wang Ben are still leading troops outside, they do not have many troops. Most of the young people of Qin stayed in Guanzhong. It was the time when Qin was working hard and accumulating national strength.
Qin Wangzheng attaches great importance to this year's spring plowing, not only for the above reasons.
Another point is that he ordered Zhi Su Neishi, who was in charge of agriculture, to carry out an experiment in the Guanzhong area.
Retting.
The excrement, weeds, sludge and other filth are accumulated and allowed to ooze for a period of time before being applied to farmland.
Once this law is promulgated, it will naturally arouse doubts from some stubborn farmers.
Because they can't understand why piling filth together and then fertilizing it can make the harvest better.
Their ancestors have never done this for generations. If this method is effective, why didn't their ancestors think of it?
Although they were grumbling in their hearts, these old farmers did not dare to neglect, and in a few seconds they made a pile of filth beside their farmland.
In the Qin State, the king issued an order. No matter what you farmers in Guizhou think, you must strictly implement it, and you are not allowed to make inappropriate noises.
The field officers in each township patrol the farmland under their respective jurisdictions with the tasks assigned by their superiors.
Anyone found to dare to disobey orders will be severely punished.
Some villages even stipulate the specific height of dung piles beside farmland. If the height of the dung pile is not met, the owner of the farmland will be reprimanded.
In this case, the adults worked hard to carry the goods, while the children wandered around with their backpacks on their backs, picking up the fallen chicken, duck and cow dung.
In a short period of time, the entire land of Guanzhong and the vast hectares of farmland were filled with piles of dung as high as half a man. All kinds of mosquitoes and flies were buzzing around. If you get closer, you can still smell the "sweet fragrance" coming to your nostrils.
Many outsiders passing through Guanzhong looked at this scene in surprise, but they did not dare to express their opinions at will. They could only bring this "wonderful thing" back to their hometowns as a conversation piece to share the special habits of Guanzhong people with their families.
Spring plowing is proceeding in an orderly manner. At the same time, the list of personnel to be recruited after spring plowing has also begun to be registered.
"This time I have to ask for orders to go on an expedition."
"General Xiao Wang will defeat Wei in one battle. This is a good opportunity to earn military merit. We missed the battle against Yan before, and we can't miss it again this time. Right, Zhao Ben?"
In the Zhonglang's office, Yang Xiong was in high spirits, and his heart had already flown to the land of Wei, as if he had already killed generals and made meritorious service there, and was promoted to a noble title.
"It is also."
Zhao Ben on the side also nodded, with a look of expectation on his face.
The two of them have not been on the battlefield, but entered the Langguan team based on their family background, and have been hanging out here for several years. Now seeing that the war to destroy the country is about to start again, how can I not be anxious in my heart? They are all gearing up and want to join the battlefield.
Zhao Tuo knew that Yang Xiong and others' requests would most likely be approved by the King of Qin. Today, the King of Qin likes brave and courageous young people the most, and one of the representatives is Li Xin, who was also a Langguan.
Spring plowing is almost over now
According to Qin Wangzheng's plan, after spring plowing, Wang Ben's army near Huaiyang (Chen Ying) will be the main force, and prisoners and garrison soldiers from various counties will be mobilized to provide support, so as to capture Wei in one fell swoop before the autumn harvest.
On the Guanzhong side, no large army will be dispatched, but a smaller force will be dispatched to escort the prisoners and ministers from Hanzhong County and Guanzhong to Wei.
Not only Guanzhong, but also counties such as Nanyang and Nanjun, which were originally part of the Chu region, were recruiting garrison prisoners one after another.
Under the orders of Qin Wangzheng, countless people gathered like small streams towards Wei, where they would turn into a huge wave and engulf Daliang City in one fell swoop.
What Yang Xiong and Zhao Ben said about asking for orders was to join this partial army and escort the prisoners and ministers to Wei.
As long as you go to the battlefield, you have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, which is better than sitting in the Qin Palace.
Compared to the excitement of Yang Xiong and the other two, Zhao Tuo was thinking about another thing.
"It's ahead of schedule. The battle to destroy Wei is a full year earlier than in history!"
Zhao Tuo had a very strange feeling.
Historically, the Qin State destroyed Wei in the 22nd year of the Qin Dynasty.
But now, it is only the spring of the 21st year of King Qin's reign, but Qin has already begun preparations to conquer Wei.
If this continues, the Wei State will be destroyed a year early!
The reason is all due to the influence of Zhao Tuo.
Jicheng was originally supposed to be captured in the 21st year. With Zhao Tuo's intervention, the city was breached half a year ahead of schedule and all the ministers of the State of Yan were intercepted. As a result, the resistance of Yan was greatly reduced and the main force of the Qin army was defeated. We were able to return to Guanzhong ahead of schedule and catch up with this year's spring plowing.
Under such circumstances, the King of Qin was confident in his government and had the idea of destroying Wei immediately.
A series of chain reactions slightly changed the direction of history, which involved the original fate of many people.
Yang Xiong, Zhao Ben and other officials were full of fighting spirit and asked Qin Wangzheng to join the battle.
Zhao Tuo was a little hesitant because unlike Yang Xiong, he had been in Zhonglang for less than half a year.
Your butt is just getting hot, and you want to go to the battlefield again. Doesn't it seem a little impatient?
Especially at last year's celebration banquet, Li Xin personally asked him to let Zhao Tuo follow him in the battle against Chu, and Qin Wangzheng also agreed on the spot.
The king and the general have already planned Zhao Tuo's future. He will quietly serve as an official for a year. After the autumn harvest, he will join the army to attack Chu.
In this case, it is really difficult for Zhao Tuo to change.
But a letter from Qin Palace made Zhao Tuo make a different decision.
Princess, she will be fifteen next year.
A girl is fifteen and has hairpins.
After getting haircut, you can get married.
Zhao Tuo took a deep breath and gently stroked the fragrant slip.
His eyes were full of determination.
Zhao Tuo wants to send troops to attack Wei.
