Meng Yi went to handle the handover matters for Zhao Si and his party.
Then he was led by Meng Yi to Lantian Camp.
Lantian camp!
As the name suggests, this camp is huge!
As far as the eye can see, almost everything is within the scope of Lantian Camp.
"Sir, are these all Lantian Camps?" Zhao Si looked around and asked.
"Haha, this is just a military base in Lantian Camp." Meng Yi said with a smile.
Zhao Si paused, never expecting that such a vast military base was just a military base in Lantian Camp. It could be heard that there was more than one such huge military base.
"When the world is uncertain, Lantian Camp is the gateway to Xianyang and one of the channels out of the east. If other countries want to attack Qin, they have to go through Hangu Pass. Only Chu can go through Wuguan to attack Qin. Wuguan is no better than Hanguan." The terrain of Guguan is steep, and there are often troops stationed in Lantian. By the time of King Wen, Lantian Camp was built here, and almost all Xianyang's troops were stationed here." Meng Yi opened his mouth to popularize Zhao Si's knowledge.
Because of the halo influence and the lack of obvious malice or conflict of interest, Meng Yi was happy to communicate with Zhao Si, a junior like him.
Although the Meng family were not natives of the Qin Dynasty, the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi were quite loyal to the First Emperor.
Zhao Si went to sea and brought back extremely important high-yield grains, as well as world maps and nautical charts that were enough to supplement the theory of Great Nine Provinces. He made a great contribution to the Great Qin Dynasty, and it was obvious that the First Emperor valued him. Meng Yi got close to him, and it was actually It is normal.
"When attacking Chu, all the troops were deployed in Lantian?" Zhao Si asked.
"It's almost the same. The Lantian camp is connected by Chidao. Most of the soldiers recruited from various places gathered here first, and passed through the Wuguan to attack the Chu Kingdom. However, now that the Chu Kingdom has been established, most of the Lantian military camp has been dismantled, and it is no longer what it used to be. In the prosperous scene, in the past, Chehou attacked Chu with such great momentum that it was rare in his life!" Meng Yi nodded and said, although the relationship between the Meng and Wang families was not very good, Meng Yi still gave a high evaluation to Wang Jian. .
Zhao Si looked at the mere military camp of Lantian Camp in front of him, and the grand scene of Wang Jian's 600,000-man army attacking Chu had already appeared in his mind.
All the supplies for the soldiers were sent to Lantian, from Chidao to Wuguan, and to the border of Chu State!
In the past, before the world was unified, I am afraid that the standing troops of the Lantian camp must have been one to two hundred thousand. It is also very likely that this is the military base camp of Great Qin.
Firstly, it is the gateway to Xianyang, and secondly, it is a must-pass for the attack on Chu.
The remaining five countries are not worth mentioning. If you want to conquer Qin, you have to go to Hangu Pass to fight to the death. Only Chu is worth paying attention to. It is not unreasonable for Qin army to hoard its troops here.
As the military base camp of the Qin State, Lantian is likely to be one of the starting points for a large number of Qin's campaigns.
When Wang Jian attacked Chu, he held his troops in Chu for a whole year. As one of the starting points for grain and grass, Lantian did not know how many people gathered to work.
Zhao Si continued to follow Meng Yi while sizing up Lantian Camp. He passed several military stations in the process and went straight to the command center of Lantian Camp. Meng Yi came forward to complete the handover with Wang Bi.
Zhao Si and others were arranged to continue waiting in the military camp of Lantian Camp.
While waiting, Zhao Si and others basically did not have much freedom and could not walk around, which was similar to house arrest.
Zhao Si could only continue reading Zou Zi's works given to him by Meng Yi to pass the time.
This state lasted for two days.
In the camp, Wang Ben and Wang Li sat opposite each other.
After Wang Li finished dishing out the sweet potatoes in his hand, he looked at his father Wang Ben and asked, "Can this thing yield 500 kilograms per mu?"
"Isn't he an alchemist like Xu Fu?" Young Wang Li asked doubtfully.
Wang Ben frowned and did not answer, but said: "These crops are very closely related. Before they grow, they must be carefully monitored. In addition, Zhao Si and others will comply with all requests, as long as they are not too heavy." "
Wang Li saw his father's serious expression and mentioned Zhengzheng Yingwei.
Wang Ben looked at his son and frowned.
Wang Li saw that his father looked serious and had an obvious attitude of chasing away guests, so he hurriedly kowtowed and left.
It is worth mentioning that kneeling and kowtowing were popular in the pre-Qin period.
And it is a very common etiquette, including the etiquette that friends visit each other or the master entertains his courtiers.
Because in the pre-Qin period, the sitting posture was kneeling.
But of course it is not the shameful butt-high etiquette. The kowtow ceremony in the pre-Qin period was very particular and not that indecent.
Whether you are knocking empty or real, or knocking with your hands apart, you will not bow down to the ground, let alone raise your buttocks. Some relatively minor etiquette is more like bowing to pay respects when kneeling, and at the same time, the lower body of the body remains in the same kneeling posture.
To put it bluntly, it looks like they are kneeling to salute, but in fact they are sitting to salute, but the sitting posture in this era is kneeling.
Seeing Wang Li hurriedly leaving, Wang Ben's brows furrowed even more tightly.
The ecological chain of the Wang family is very simple. Wang Ben is afraid of his father Wang Jian, Wang Li is afraid of his father Wang Ben, and Wang Jian dotes on his eldest grandson Wang Li.
As the son of Chehou Wang Jian, Wang Ben can be said to be under a lot of pressure.
Wang Jian's achievements were so brilliant that his son didn't even have room to breathe.
Correspondingly, Wang Ben also had high requirements for Wang Li.
I can't inherit my father's glory, but my son can!
The problem lies here. Wang Jian dotes on his grandson Wang Li.
Wang Jian taught his son, and Wang Ben was beaten.
Wang Ben had a son, and he was going to follow Wang Jian's example and beat his son, and then he was beaten by Wang Jian.
Even Wang Li was brought to his hometown by Wang Jian for a long time to be raised. Now that Wang Li has grown up, he returned to Wang Ben. And Wang Ben is naturally serious, so there is not much communication between father and son.
Wang Ben was very concerned about Wang Li's academic performance. He thought that Wang Li would learn better with his father, Wang Jian, than with him. However, all Wang Li learned was the ability to climb high, walk low, and chase away dogs.
Of course he has learned a lot about military affairs, but his knowledge is not in-depth. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has great ambitions but few talents.
At present, Wang Li's official title has been rising one after another, and he has a lot of credit, but his actual level is indeed ordinary in the eyes of his father.
Moreover, the promotion of official positions and titles is more like the rewards given by the First Emperor to the direct descendants of the Wang family. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are related to each other.
Wang Ben's own title and official position were at least forged with real swords and guns. Although there was no lack of influence from his father Wang Jian, his own excellent military skills were also an extremely important factor.
And Wang Li's resume is completely filled with gold-plated atmosphere.
Wang Ben was very worried. He had been worried since he was a child whether he would tarnish the reputation of his father Wang Jian.
Now he is worried that his son will disgrace the old Wang family.
Wang Li, who was brought up by his old father, did not meet Wang Ben's requirements at all. He was like a third-generation man with great ambitions and few talents. Wang Ben was very dissatisfied!
He even had the idea of practicing the trumpet, but the old man Wang Jian was too fond of Wang Li. If he dared to propose a son to inherit the family business, the old man Wang Jian would probably kick him out of his place in a minute.
