The station commander was not an official rank in the Qin army. It was just a virtual position set up to temporarily manage the soldiers.
Of course, if one could become a station commander or a squad leader during the shift and lead their subordinates to achieve better results in this shift, they would be rewarded.
Time passed quickly as everyone chatted.
When the sky darkened, everyone opened their luggage and took out the bedding they carried with them, preparing to sleep.
In this era, whether it was to serve in the army or to fight in the war, it was not like in the future where everything in the army was arranged for you.
Everything from clothes, food, housing, and even underwear and socks were given to you.
But now, he had to bring everything himself.
bedding, clothes, shoes, etc.
In the process of fighting, if his clothes and shoes were broken, he would have to write a letter to his family and ask them to bring him money to buy them himself.
If they didn't buy it, they could only continue to fight barefooted.
< Cloud Dream Qin Bamboo Slips > recorded the story of another master, Hei Fu.
During the battle with Qin Chu, Heifu's winter coat was torn, so he wrote a letter to his family and asked his mother to make him a winter coat.
As for whether Hefu had received her winter clothes or not, it was unknown.
It was night, and the chilly spring breeze blew in through the cracks in the adobe walls of the barracks and the holes in the wooden doors, making a humming sound.
Xia Lan closed her eyes slightly.
"Brother Lan, are you asleep?"
Yuan was sleeping on his left.
Like him, this was the first time he had come to participate in the night shift.
Obviously, Yuan was having insomnia.
Xia Lan slowly turned around and asked softly,""Can't sleep?"
In the darkness, Yuan nodded lightly and said,""Brother Lan, Yuan…is a little scared."
His voice was trembling a little. Then, he asked,"Brother Lan, aren't you afraid?"
Xia Lan smiled faintly.
The experiences in his previous life were much more complicated than now. The word 'fear' had long been buried in his heart.
"Don't be afraid. Go to sleep."
Lan consoled.
Yuan didn't say anything else.
……
At the border of Qin and Zhao, Ping Yang.
The Qin army was already slowly gathering here.
In the commander's tent, a group of generals were gathered in front of the map and discussing the route of this march.
"General, I suggest that we leave Pingyang and head east to Handan!”
In the tent, a middle-aged general pointed at Handan on the map!
"General Wang Ben, no!"
"Ping Yang is not far from Handan, but there are many cities along the way. As the vanguard, it is not appropriate for us to attack the cities!”
Another general objected.
Wang Ben wanted to say something, but he couldn't find a reason to refute.
The army he was in was indeed just the vanguard.
Great Qin's 300,000 soldiers were led by his father, Wang Jian.
"General Huan He, you see…"
After disagreeing with Wang Ben, the general turned to Huan He, the commander of the vanguard army.
"General Duan He, I have thought about it for a long time and have a plan.”
Huan He stared at the map in front of him and said after a long silence,""Following the king's orders, our main objective this time is to besiege Handan and force the Zhao army on the southern front to return to help. This will create favorable conditions for General Wang Jian's main force.”
Everyone nodded. This was indeed the main goal of their army.
Huan He took a step forward and came before the map. He pointed to the northwest of Ping Yang and said,""This general feels that after our army leaves Ping Yang, we can reach Shangdang. After that, Shangdang will cross the Taihang Mountains and take down Chi Li and Yi 'an.”
Hearing Huan He's story, the generals 'eyes lit up.
Such a march was indeed a strange move.
However, Wang Ben frowned and said,"General Huan He, although this plan has the wonderful effect of winning by surprise, there are two problems that need to be paid attention to.”
"I understand General Wang Ben's concern," Huan He nodded.”
"It's already early spring. When we reach the foot of Taihang Mountain, it should be early summer.”
Wang Ben thought for a moment and nodded.
Huan He continued," As for Li Mu's army in the north, I've already sent spies there. Yesterday, the spies sent news that the Xiongnu in the north have been active recently. Li Mu's army is not free for the time being.”
After these two concerns were eliminated, the soldiers had no objections.
"General, please give the order!"
Everyone cupped their hands at Huan He.
However, Huan He shook his head slightly and said,""We are going through Shangdang and entering Taihang. The journey is long, and the supply of supplies will require a large amount of manpower. General Duan He, I will leave this matter to you. If the supply and supply teams are insufficient, you will immediately transfer the guards from the various prefectures and counties to make up for it.”
"Yes!"
Yang Duan He cupped his hands in agreement.
"General Wang Ben, the new batch of soldiers needs to be trained as soon as possible. We have lost a lot of soldiers last time, and we have too many new recruits.”
"Yes!"
Wang Ben cupped his hands.
"The rest of you, go back and make your preparations. In ten days, break camp and prepare to set off!”
"Yes!"
……
April 1st, Shuoyang County Drill Ground.
Today, all the watchmen of Shuo Yang County had gathered here.
The entire drill ground was crowded with soldiers who had rushed over from all over the place.
After a while--
Thump!
A dull drumbeat interrupted everyone's discussion.
"Lieutenant Zuo has arrived!"
On the high platform of the drill ground, a soldier shouted.
"Lieutenant Zuo?"
"Hasn't the right lieutenant always been in charge of the guards?”
"Shuoyang County's Left Lieutenant was transferred away before the new year. Could it be that a new Left Lieutenant has been transferred here?”
……
Below the stage, some of the people who had served many times began to discuss.
Xia Lan and the others also looked at the high platform in front of them curiously.
At this moment, an armored figure slowly walked up the platform, surrounded by a few Hundred Generals in Hundred General Armor.
"It's him!"
Seeing the figure on the platform, Xia Lan frowned slightly.
"Brother Lan knows Lieutenant Zuo?"
Yuan asked in a low voice.
Xia Lan did not say anything.
He didn't know why Wang Li was suddenly transferred to Shuo Yang County as a county lieutenant.
Could it be that he was demoted because of that incident?
But this was too much of a coincidence.
Thump!
Another dull drumbeat sounded.
"Silence!"
Everyone below the stage stopped talking and quietly looked at the figure on the high platform.
Wang Li was wearing armor, his left hand caressing the hilt of his sword at his waist. His gaze swept across the 2,000 people below the stage, and he slowly said,"I am Wang Li, the Left Lieutenant of Shuo Yang County.”
No one dared to say anything.
"Below, those with titles, step forward!”
