"Old Zhang, are you deliberately putting on airs? Is it worth it to curry favor with this child general?”
"Don't lose your reputation!”
"Hehe, maybe Old Zhang wants to be a general.”
"Hahaha!"
........
The old soldiers laughed. They seemed to be very reckless. They did not look like the disciplined Qin army at all. Instead, they looked like old foxes.
However, Zhao Mu was not angry at all.
These old soldiers had experienced countless battles, but now they had been disbanded by various armies and thrown into his team, which was obviously going to die. As long as one was not stupid, one would understand what was going on.
Therefore, these old soldiers were naturally not afraid. Without fear, they would naturally lose the dignity of Qin Lü.
What Zhao Mu did not expect was that this guy in front of him actually had a surname. One had to know that surnames were only given to the descendants of nobles. Most of the common people gave names with only one word and did not have surnames.
For example, Xi and Hei Fu.
"Bullsh * t!"
"Come up and try!"
Old Zhang mustered all his strength, but the halberd didn't budge at all. A trace of reverence rose in his heart for Zhao Mu. He was worried that the old soldiers 'teasing would anger Zhao Mu, so he deliberately shouted loudly to stop the old soldiers' teasing.
An old soldier leaped onto the platform and said,""Just try it, I'll expose you.”
The old soldier's words were very unpleasant, but he walked in front of Zhao Mu and bowed. Then, he stood beside the halberd and held it with both hands.
"Rise!"
His shout was like thunder.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not make the halberd move at all.
Old Zhang looked at his flushed face and immediately sneered.
This sneer made the old soldier feel ashamed.
However, after putting in some effort, he was also surprised. This halberd was really a little too heavy.
It was not something that ordinary people could lift.
Just now, when he saw Zhao Mu move freely in his hand, who exactly was this general in the army?
It was so fierce that it was a mess.
The old soldier thought about it and then bowed."General, I can't do it. Let others try.”
Zhao Mu raised his head and motioned for him to leave.
Soon, more than ten old soldiers rushed up to the platform to try the halberd, but all of them failed.
After these people failed, the old soldiers below looked at Zhao Mu differently.
The initial disdain for the baby general had disappeared, and there was only respect.
Zhao Mu asked Old Zhang, the first challenger," Old Zhang, what's your full name?"
"Zhang Meng, a noble doctor, greets the general!”
"Good!"
"I see that your prestige among these soldiers is not low, so I'll let you be the deputy general.”
Zhao Mu said.
"Thank you, General!"
Zhao Mu nodded, then his gaze swept across the old soldiers present.
"You're all old soldiers, so I don't need to say much about the battlefield. You all know and understand that Zhang Meng knows you better than I do.”
"Zhang Meng, report to me after you've arranged your positions. I'll make a decision after checking.”
"As for this general, you should have heard that my name is Zhao Mu, the Duke of Zuo Shu. The people of the Three Jin like to call me the God of Killing.”
Zhao Mu's words made the old soldiers below widen their eyes in surprise.
In the past three years, a general with the name of the God of Killing had risen in the Qin army. They had all heard of him, but they had never thought that it was this general in front of them.
"I was ordered to attack Jinyang City of Zhao. You are all old soldiers sent to me. As for what the Prime Minister's intentions are, I don't know.”
"But what this general wants to say is that no matter whether others think that this general can take down Jinyang City with you, this general hopes that all of you will firmly believe that we can definitely take down Jinyang City.”
"We will definitely be the strongest Qin army.”
Zhao Mu's words immediately made the old soldiers below understand that they had been kicked out of the various armies because of Lu Buwei.
This made the old soldiers feel dissatisfied with Lu Buwei.
At the same time, he was very proud of Zhao Mu's words.
They were indeed old soldiers, and their physical strength was indeed not at its peak. However, they were Qin soldiers who were more experienced than the young Qin soldiers!
They were invincible.
"Wind!"
"Wind!"
"Wind!"
Intense shouts rang out, shaking the entire drill ground.
Zhao Mu looked at everything with satisfaction.
"The entire army will rest for a day and set off tomorrow," he said.”
After subduing the old soldier, Zhao Mu picked up the Blue Dragon Halberd and left the drill ground.
He still had to make a trip to Gongshu Chou's place.
Gongshu Chou was in another residence that Zhao Mu had bought.
The mansion was located in an extremely remote area of Xianyang, surrounded by mountains and forests.
There were not many fertile fields, so few people were interested.
It was the best place to study mechanisms.
This time, they attacked Jinyang City.
Jinyang City was one of the strongest cities. Catapults and ballistae were extremely important.
After the last test at the southern foot of Taihang Mountain to stop Lord Xinling, Gongshuchou had already made further improvements to these two weapons.
Moreover, the Po Tu San Lang mechanical beast created by Gongshu Chou could also dig into Jinyang City and enter through the tunnel.
These were all Zhao Mu's guarantees for taking down Jinyang City.
In addition, Zhao Mu also planned to look for the successor of the medical family when he went out to attack Jinyang City.
This was because these old soldiers valued favors the most and were also the least likely to be affected by Qin law.
Once these people were convinced by Zhao Mu, then their trust in Zhao Mu would far surpass others.
Even the King of Qin.
Zhao Mu went to Gongshu Chou's place.
As the deputy general, Zhang Meng immediately led a 100-man team to the granary to receive their first batch of food after arranging the old soldiers.
Since they had set off from Xianyang, the first batch of food would naturally come from the granary of Xianyang.
After Zhang Meng arrived at the granary, he found the commandant Qin Ruo, who was in charge of guarding the granary.
Qin Ruo sized up Zhang Meng and said lightly,""I didn't receive the order from the higher-ups to send you food.”
Zhang Meng's expression froze. He said," We received the news today and gathered on the training ground. The general is also here tonight. We're going to set off tomorrow. How can there be no food for us?"”
