When Baiqi was sentenced to death by Du Youting, Huan He was still a small station chief and had no chance to come into contact with the Iron Eagle Warriors.
He only knew that after Baiqi's death, King Zhaoxiang seemed to have given the order to stop the selection of the Iron Eagle Warriors.
As for whether or not Great Qin still had Iron Eagle Warriors, perhaps only the current King knew.
After all, the Iron Eagle Warriors had always been in the hands of the successive kings of Qin.
Shaking his head slightly, Huan He didn't disturb Xia Lan's training and turned to leave.
……
Having his soldiers tie sandbags and rush on their journey, this " strange " behavior naturally caused a discussion among the other soldiers in the army.
Many soldiers laughed when they saw Xia Lan's soldiers sweating profusely and unable to move their legs.
It was as if this had become a big joke on their journey.
This matter naturally reached Wang Li's ears very quickly.
After talking to Xia Lan alone, the two of them reached some kind of consensus. Wang Lijing did not ask about this matter again.
It was as if he had tacitly agreed to Xia Lan's " nonsense ".
The 100,000 strong army had been stopped by Ping Yang in Dang County for nearly 10 days.
During this period of time, Xia Lan had not given up on the " torture " of her eighty-five soldiers.
These eighty-five people seemed to be living in the abyss of suffering every day.
The army rested in Shangdang Prefecture and replenished a batch of provisions. After conscripting a batch of commoners to transport provisions, they rushed to Taihang Mountain without stopping.
Next, they needed to cross the Taihang Mountains and circle around to the rear of the State of Zhao from the north.
This route was extremely difficult.
In the Taihang Mountains, the mountain roads were rugged and there were no official roads to walk on.
The 100,000-strong army moved around the mountains and hills.
The speed of the march became even slower.
……
A month quickly passed.
During this period of time, Xia Lan's eighty-five soldiers had only sixty left.
The 25th place couldn't hold on any longer and voluntarily left Xia Lan's team.
However, Wang Li did not mention the matter of replenishing Xia Lan's soldiers.
Xia Lan was still torturing the remaining 60 soldiers.”
At the foot of Taihang Mountain.
In the central army tent, Wang Li looked at the vanguard commander Huan He in front of him and said nothing.
A moment later, Huan He slowly turned around and said to Wang Li,""Brat Li, what has your subordinate Lan been up to recently?”
When Wang Li heard this, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart,"This matter has already been made known to the entire army, so why did General deliberately ask this question?”
He thought so in his heart, but he did not dare to say so.
When Huan He asked, he answered honestly,""I asked Lan and he said he was training.”
"Training?" "Are you fooling around?" Huan He laughed.”
"You can see the results?"
"Is it effective?"
" This…" Wang Li didn't know how to answer.
After a long time-
"General, should I go and stop them now?”
Wang Li asked tentatively.
However, Huan He shook his head." There's no need for that for now. I'm also very curious about what this kid can do."”
At this point, Huan He changed the topic,""What do you think of the battle after we cross the Taihang Mountains?”
Huan He's question stunned Wang Li.
He was only a commandant who had two thousand men under his command.
He had never thought about such strategic decisions.
He didn't expect Huan He to ask such a question.
"This…"
"General, I don't know…"
Wang Li said awkwardly.
He really did not know.
Huan He smiled and said,"Little Li, come up and take a look."”
"After our army passes through Taihang Mountain, we will face the two cities of Chili and Yi 'an. Both cities have around thirty thousand soldiers. Which city do you think our army should attack first?”
"How do we attack it?"
Huan He pointed at the map and asked.
Wang Li went up to the map and looked at it carefully, his thoughts running quickly.
Combining the military books he had read and the art of war taught by his father and grandfather, he began to think of the best plan.
It is said in the book of war that five troops should surround the enemy and ten troops should attack the enemy.
There were only 100,000 vanguard troops. It would not be easy to attack the city.
In order to speed up the march and make it easier to cross the Taihang Mountains, the vanguard did not bring many large siege weapons.
Combining all these factors, Wang Li also considered the condition of the soldiers and other factors, and he already had a preliminary plan in his mind.
"General, I think…"
"Brat Li, there's no rush. You should go back and think it through before answering.”
Huan He interrupted Wang Li.
Hearing this, Wang Li was a little puzzled, but he did not continue.
"General, I will take my leave."
He cupped his hands and left the tent.
After Wang Li left, Huan He shook his head slightly.
"I still lack tempering."
"As a general, how can you make a rash decision…"
……
After leaving the main tent, Wang Li was still thinking about the question he had just asked.
He didn't seem to understand what General Huan He meant.
"Sigh!"
After thinking for a long time, Wang Li felt a little irritated and walked towards his own barracks.
When he passed by the area where Xia Lan and the others were, Wang Li suddenly remembered the matter Huan He had asked about earlier. Wang Li was also curious.
This kid had been torturing for more than a month. Was there any effect?
He didn't want the entire army to watch a show for a month, only to end up as a joke.
As he thought about it, he turned around and walked towards Xia Lan's tent, ready to take a look for himself.
In the open space in front of the tent, Xia Lan was currently training her soldiers.
The training this time was the most basic training for Great Qin's army.
Therefore, Xia Lan did not supervise him personally and allowed the station chief to bring him to train.
"Hundred Generals Lan."
When Wang Li arrived, he found Xia Lan with her hands behind her back, watching the soldiers train.
"Greetings, General!"
Hearing someone shout, Xia Lan turned around and noticed Wang Li's arrival. She quickly cupped her hands and greeted him.
Wang Li waved his hand and came to Xia Lan's side. He quietly watched the soldiers training in front of him.
After some observation, he did see some results.
It seemed that Xia Lan's soldiers were stronger than the others.
However, this was not enough to satisfy Wang Li's expectations.
"General Lan, how are the results of your training method?”Wang Li asked casually.
Xia Lan turned to look at him and smiled.""The best way to test a soldier's combat power is through war.”
"When the war begins, General will understand the effectiveness of this training method.”
Hearing this, Wang Li pursed his lips.
"Does General Lan Bai understand the military law and the formation of troops?”Wang Li suddenly asked.
Xia Lan hesitated for a moment." Father has taught me some, and I have also read a few books on war."”
However, he had read more than a few military books.
As a soldier, Xia Lan's greatest hobby the day before was to read ancient and modern classics on the art of war and study ancient and foreign classic wars.
Wang Li nodded and smiled.”
Xia Lan cupped her hands and said,"General, please give me a question."”
