Chapter 662: I Order You Not to Retaliate if You Win!
Xianyang.
Countless people gathered on both sides of the road outside the city. The army was going out today, so of course they had to come to see them off.
And this is also a tradition that has been in Guanzhong for hundreds of years. At that time, the Qin Dynasty had one enemy against six, and those who went to war were all the fathers and brothers of the family, so of course they had to be sent away.
It's just a little different this time,
"I heard that most of the new troops sent out this time were slaves."
"Isn't that right? The slaves in the noble family next door to me all took the initiative to join the army. They were all bought with money. Although the government provided subsidies, they still lost money after all. The government did not do a good job this time."
"Hmph, you guys, don't you know that there are so few people in Da Qin now? If we don't recruit slaves, how can we all go up?"
"You are still complaining about the government, so think clearly! It is the nobles and landowners who are suffering this time! It is really ridiculous for you commoners to feel sorry for the nobles' small losses!"
These words directly made the people around them think deeply, and also made those who complained blush.
"Who are you? What are you saying about me waiting for civilians?"
"Hmph, I am a Confucian Gongyang Dare!"
"Brother Gongyang, there is no need to talk to this mediocre man. The army is coming soon, and the leader will be at the front! I heard that His Majesty will stand on the city wall."
"Hmph, if you ask me, the leader should be at the top...well..."
The Confucian scholar next to him quickly covered Gongyang Gan's mouth!
"Why are you covering me? If the leader hadn't let you, I should have followed the leader to the battlefield."
"Don't think about it. The leader has already said that our mission is to teach and educate people. This is also a battle!"
"That's right, otherwise there will always be these idiots who are regarded as untouchables by the nobles, but they cry out for the nobles!"
"Stop scolding, stop scolding, look! The army is coming!"
At this time, a long queue gradually appeared outside the city, and the surrounding area became lively.
"The army is coming!"
"There's nothing good to see this time. They're all slaves. How can they have any military appearance?"
"Oh, that's a good thing. In my opinion...his! How is this possible..."
The crowds around were quite noisy and lively, and they were originally there to see him off.
But wherever the army walked, everyone involuntarily opened their mouths slightly, and there was silence.
Because the entire army marched too neatly.
There are nearly a hundred people in an array, but they almost all move together!
They have never seen such a formation!
And after the silence, there was an exclamation!
"The army is mighty!"
"color!"
Some people continued to discuss,
"This is my army of Great Qin!?"
"Didn't you say that most of the new troops this time are from slaves?"
"Please keep your voice down, that's probably not the case. How can this slave be so powerful?"
"Perhaps this is the elite of the Great Qin Dynasty, and behind it is... Huh? Isn't that the big head? He is the slave of a noble in my hometown!"
"His family was killed, and the noble's house was ransacked! He is actually here! This is really a new army trained by slaves!"
"This...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is truly a divine man!"
As he spoke, dozens of hundreds of people soon gathered at the foot of Xianyang City, and other armies were waiting not far away.
After all, there is no way to gather everyone under the city.
At this moment, bursts of music suddenly sounded from the city tower. Everyone couldn't help but look over, and a figure wearing the emperor's crown appeared there!
"Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"
Everyone saluted in unison.
Because, that is the First Emperor of Qin!
On the city tower, Qin Shihuang looked at the neat military formations below the city. Zhao Lang was at the front wearing a battle uniform, looking extremely heroic!
I couldn't help but sigh slightly in my heart.
This reminded him of what he looked like when he was young.
At this moment, Zhao Gao on the side reminded him in a low voice,
"Your Majesty, the time has come."
Qin Shihuang nodded, took a breath, and said,
"I will inherit the legacy of the Sixth Generation! Then rule the world! I will lay the foundation for the Qin Dynasty for all generations!"
"Now, the internal troubles have been resolved, but the barbarians from the north are knocking on the door!"
"I grant you freedom, and you must repay it with your life!"
"..."
Qin Shihuang's voice was loud, but it could not reach everyone's ears.
At this time, there will naturally be messengers.
But Zhao Lang below felt numb. His father's words were, to put it nicely, a morale booster.
It's not nice to say it, but this guy is just riding in the faces of these people and saying, I have given you freedom, and you have to work hard with your lives!
In a previous life, it would definitely have caused conflict.
But the people around him listened extremely seriously.
At this time, Qin Shihuang finally said,
"Today, I order you not to retaliate if you win!"
"Go to war!"
Before Zhao Lang could react, he heard the new army he had trained shouting almost fanatically,
"Your order!"
Zhao Lang suspected that as long as his father gave an order, these people could betray him in a minute!
"Is this the charm of the First Emperor?"
Zhao Lang pondered.
Soon, with the sound of drums, Zhao Lang led the people forward.
Line after line of teams, like a long dragon, heading towards the north.
Only then did the surrounding people realize that this army was very different from before.
After the former army left, there were teams of doctors carrying medical kits, followed by a lot of baggage.
Makes people look at ease.
But there was a group of people who they couldn't understand. The weapons in those people's hands turned out to be strange-looking shovels.
What are you doing with a shovel when you go to war?
In the ranks of the Qin army, Liu Bang looked at the neat and majestic ranks and felt the admiration of the people on both sides.
Looking at the lofty Qin Shihuang again, the thoughts he had when he saw Qin Shihuang in Yunmengze once again arose in his mind.
This is what a man should do!
At this time, Qin Shihuang let out a soft sigh on the tower, and Zhao Gao asked quickly,
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Qin Shihuang shook his head slightly,
"It doesn't matter."
He just found someone who dared to look directly at him.
There are not many people in this world who have such courage.
But this is also a good thing, after all, it belongs to one's own people.
Until all the Qin troops had left here, Qin Shihuang still stood on the tower, looking in the direction Zhao Lang left.
Zhao Gao on the side said repeatedly,
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others have left. Please return to the palace."
Qin Shihuang came back to his senses, shook his head slightly and said,
"It doesn't matter, I might as well keep an eye on him, and then send a message to the Black Ice Guards. Even if they all die, Lang'er can't lose a hair!"
"yes!"
Zhao Gao immediately took the order.
At this time, the Qin army was far away.
More than ten days later, the Great Wall of Qin's northern frontier.
Although there is still a lot of wind and snow, there are still many sentries on the Great Wall due to the war.
At this time, a Qin soldier hurriedly came to a sentry and said,
"His Royal Highness Fusu, a messenger has come to report that His Highness the Crown Prince's advance army has almost arrived at Yunzhong County. General Meng has summoned the soldiers to prepare to welcome you and let you go."
Fusu's expression changed slightly at this time, he nodded and said,
"knew."
After saying that, he followed Qin Jun and left.
