When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 313 Zhang Ji: How about fulfilling Zhang Er and Chen Yu?

The Wei army set off in a mighty manner. Wei Wuji personally led an army of [-] to attack, leaving [-] troops to guard the camp.

The army marched towards Anyi in the east of the river, and the two cities of Yucheng and Bancheng were the first to bear the brunt.

"Zhang Er, Chen Yu, and Jin Yao listen to the order!"

"Zhang Er is the right vanguard, Chen Yu is the deputy general of the right vanguard, go to take Bancheng, Jin Yao is the left vanguard, go to take Yucheng, each of you will give 2 horses, and you must break the city within three days!"

"As ordered!"

Zhang Er and Chen Yu were happy to take orders, and it was a joy to have the opportunity to lead troops, and they were also the vanguard and the vanguard lieutenant general of a large army.

Jin Yao also gave Wei Wuji a surprised look.

Yucheng and Bancheng are not strong cities. According to scouts, there are only a thousand defenders in the two cities. It can be said that the Wei army attacked these two cities easily.

Wei Wuji and his colleagues are actually willing to give me this easy-to-get battle exploit, instead of handing it all over to his subordinates?
After all, it was military exploits, and Jin Yao didn't want to give up the easily obtainable military exploits because of resentment against Wei Wuji, but he still snorted a little arrogantly: "The last general obeys orders."

Immediately, without waiting for Wei Wuji to say anything, he led a group of old Jinbi troops towards Yucheng.

Zhang Er saw Jin Yao snorting coldly, his face was full of anger, and he unconsciously pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword again.

"Open your ears!"

Wei Wuji let out a yell, and when he heard Wei Wuji addressing him like that, he opened his ears and shrank his neck, no longer the look of anger that he had just had.

Wei Wuji usually calls him "Er" affectionately, and only calls him by his full name when he is angry, and his parents died early, and the person who is feared in this world is Wei Wuji, who is also a father and a teacher.

"Hey, Yu, you must remember to keep an eye on Hao Er, and don't let him act recklessly."

Seeing Zhang Er's appearance, Wei Wuji couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chen Yu cast a helpless glance at Zhang Er.

Seeing the two vanguards set off, Wei Wuji sighed slightly.

If possible, he would rather be a happy young man, wearing fancy clothes all day long, fighting cocks and running dogs, sensuality, and never interfering in military and political affairs.

But the mother country needs him, so he must stand up and be the self he hates the most.

The military order issued just now seemed simple, but it was actually an invisible confrontation.

Since ancient times, military and political affairs have not been separated from each other. This is true.

As Jin Yao thought, although in order to appease Jin Yao and Jin Bi's old troops, he gave him the military achievements of a city, but he was not really impartial.

There are four cities on the outskirts of Anyi, besides Yucheng and Bancheng, there are also Yanshi City and Wucheng.

Yanshi City is in the northeast of Yucheng, closer to Yucheng, so it is natural that Jin Yao, who captured Yucheng, will attack Yanshi City.

Yanshi City has a lot of background. In the 17th year of King Zhou Nan, Qi, Han, Wei, Zhao, Song, and Zhongshan attacked Qin together (don’t ask why the six countries are called five countries, that’s how it is written in the historical records), to Yan Shi and return.Qin and Han, Wei Hebei and Fengling made peace.

At that time, the chief general of the Qi army and also the commander of the coalition army Kuang Zhang broke through the Hangu Pass for the first time, and led the armies of the five countries into the pass.

But the embarrassing thing came. The Hezong Alliance originally wanted to take back some of the Qin army's cities outside Hangu Pass. No one wanted to really break through Hangu Pass.

After all, Hangu is known to be dangerous all over the world, and everyone does not want to waste too many soldiers on this majestic pass. As a result, they did not expect that on the way of the joint alliance, there was chaos in the middle of Shu, and King Zhaoxiang had to transfer Sima wrongly to lead elite troops into Shuping Rebellion, it took a long time and failed to return in time.Just after the Jijun Rebellion was put down, Xiangbang Yingji died of illness suddenly, which caused internal turmoil in the Qin army.

Coupled with Kuangzhang's command ability, the coalition forces actually broke through the Hangu Pass with few casualties.

But because the incident happened suddenly, no one thought that Kuangzhang could really break through Hangu Pass, so they didn't prepare enough food and grass, so the coalition forces didn't dare to stretch too long, so they had to go north to break through Yanshi City and occupy the edge of Yanshi City on the salt lake.

Salt Lake is an important place for salt production in Qin State. Not only is the output extremely high, but the quality of table salt is far superior to ordinary table salt, so it has become a major economic lifeline of Qin State.

However, Han and Wei, with the idea of ​​taking advantage of it, reached a private settlement with Qin, so the coalition forces did not enter Xianyang westward, and directly disbanded and exited Hangu Pass on the spot.

Therefore, Wei Wuji wanted to cut off the economic lifeline of Qin.

It stands to reason that such an important city should be handed over to Zhang Er and Chen Yu, two young people he is optimistic about, to attack. Not only will it train them more, but it can also gild their resumes, but it is still handed over to Jin Yao.

For one thing, Zhang Er and Chen Yu lacked experience in leading troops after all, and it was a long march to Yanshi City, so he was worried that he would not be able to take care of them.

Secondly, compared with Yanshi City, it has even greater military achievements.

Anyi, the old capital of Wei State, is of great significance to Wei State, especially to a king of Wei who is dedicated to rejuvenating the country.

After capturing Bancheng, they can go north and go straight to Wucheng, which is only [-] miles away.

Once Zhang Er and Chen Yu capture these two cities, his Chinese army will press forward and rush to Anyi together.

At that time, he will give Zhang Er and Chen Yu the first victory in capturing Anyi. In this way, they will also enter the eyes of his elder brother, the current King Wei, as quickly as possible to regain the old capital. Anyi's great contribution paved the way for their future.

Wei Wuji also ordered the army to camp on the spot, and was always waiting for good news from Zhang Er and Chen Yu.

Of course, Wei Wuji didn't know that a certain young talent who was born in the Wei country and was about the same age as Zhang Er and Chen Yu planned to show kindness to his home country and complete the military exploits of these two young people.

At the head of Yanshi City, the county magistrate of Yanshi City couldn't help being a little dumbfounded when he saw the Yanshi City that had changed drastically in just four days.

Is this still his Yanshi city built with earth and rocks?

Four days ago, the spies in the city suddenly found the county magistrate of Yanshi, claiming that Wei Wei Zhang Ji asked them to immediately raise money to sell the salt in the treasury at a discount, and to buy grain and grass from all the grain merchants in Yanshi City, at least [-] shi of grain should be raised.

Naturally, this small county magistrate dared not disobey the order of the upstart Qin, let alone discount it.

In fact, no matter where Zhang Ji went to any place in the state of Qin, as long as the local officials didn't want to go to the prison to drink tea, they wouldn't dare to obey Zhang Ji's order.

However, fortunately, because Yanshi City is an important place for salt production, there are many merchants, so there are naturally many grain merchants.Compared with coins, many merchants are more willing to barter and directly exchange grain for salt, so it is not too difficult for Yanshi City to raise [-] shi for military rations, otherwise it may not be possible to raise [-] shi for military rations.

And on the day when he had just raised enough military rations, the ink craftsman of the Mohist school descended from the sky by the mechanism Suzaku, and borrowed the mechanism Suzaku to transport a large amount of bricks and stones. The inksmiths used the white tiger mechanism to knock down the original earth and stone walls of Yanshi City, and then cooperated with them to rebuild the city.

In just four days, the ink craftsmen, with the assistance of various mechanism beasts and mechanism equipment, commanded the young and strong Yanshi county magistrate to build [-]% of the city wall of Yanshi city.

On the fifth day, two Qin armies with more than a thousand soldiers suddenly came to the city, claiming to be from Bancheng and Wucheng, and came to Yanshi City under the order of the Weiwei Army.
