"Thank you, General, and thank the Han army. We will do our best to help the Han win this war, even if we lose our bodies..." Shan knelt down to Han Xin excitedly.

Escape from slavery, has this been their dream for many years?

How many generations has this been their dream?

They have long been disgusted with this kind of life without their own home, without their own wife, without knowing who their father is, or who their children are.

But there is no way, they have no way to break away from the confinement of this identity.

Even if the state of Chu died and the state of Qin came, they still could not change their identity or their destiny.

The only change may be that it was transferred from the hands of one noble to another.

Their lives are not even as valuable as a bowl of wine or a bucket of rice.

Their dignity...

Where does the dignity come from?

The cruelty of the slave era is something you can only imagine, but there is nothing they can't do.

It is not impossible for them to escape from slavery.

For example, if you take the opportunity to rebel, now you have this opportunity to kill the nobles and declare their status restored.

But they were worried that doing so would bring them more trouble. They happened to hear that Han Xin was recruiting troops, and he also used incredible methods.

So they wanted to try their luck.

Unexpectedly, Han Xin actually promised to write to the King of Han to pardon their slave status after the war.

Rebellion, declaration of freedom, and pardon from the King of Han, can that be the same concept?

Of course not, this is the same situation as when the slave army led by Zhang Han attacked Zhou Wen.

They long for freedom and return to the lives of ordinary people, so when they get this opportunity, they will fight for it desperately.

However, what they encountered was a stronger and better treated Han army.

They did not need to go to war to be free, as long as they could lay down their weapons.

Seeing that Shan was so excited that it was difficult to speak, Han Xin waited for him to calm down a little before continuing: "Don't be excited. Your Majesty loves people and treats the people well. Didn't Zhang Han lead an army composed of many slaves?

?Those who chose to go home back then are now happily cultivating their own land at home, and those who joined the army are also striving for fame. In the Han army, as long as you work hard enough and are loyal enough, in the words of the king

, that is, a hero does not care about his origin."

"I... we will not let the king down, we will not let the general down. I still have many brothers over there. If the general wants to attack, I can send people to contact them, and then we can easily defeat them.

Yes." Shan nodded excitedly and said.

"No rush, let's talk about the situation over there first!" Han Xin smiled slightly.

The junction of the three counties is a questionable place because it is not a regular marching route.

If you want to attack Qi County, the capital of Sishui County, starting from their side, you can either go down Chengfu and then go east, or go through Zhi County and then go south.

There are only two roads that can be taken. If you go directly in the middle, the distance will be closer.

If the problem is like this, it means that they have gone deep alone, and the two counties can easily cut off their escape route.

If the frontline offensive is blocked, they will be trapped here and defeated.

Therefore, the battle is not about whether the troops can pass through, nor is it the stupid thinking of some people that a city is obviously not on the necessary march route, so why do they have to take a long way around to attack it?

Wouldn't it be enough to just go around and attack the main city?

The principle is still the same. If you don't clear a clear path, as long as the other party exerts force, it will be very painful for you, and you will be in a dilemma.

"General, there are nearly 20,000 people gathered there, and I heard that the Chu army is not only prepared in that place. As for the purpose, it should be to wait for the general to attack Qixian to cut off the general's retreat." Shan

said.

He is not a general, just a slave with some official position.

I don't have access to any more confidential information, but I still have some understanding of the situation in my own camp.

"Yeah!" Han Xin nodded.

He knew all this information, and the Han army's scouts were not vegetarians either.

And he knew more details than this low-level officer from the Chu army alone.

For example, there are still 20,000 people about 20 miles north of their camp. There are also 20,000 people at the northern border of Zhi County. In addition, there are 20 miles to the west of Xiachengfu and 30 miles to the southeast.

There are 20,000 people in each.

The Chu people seemed to have identified the unit of 20,000, so they deployed a scattered force of not more than 100,000 troops in total.

A lot, right?

There are a lot of them, but as long as these troops are penetrated, what will be placed in front of Han Xin will be a flower girl without clothes...

No, it was a completely undefended Chu State.

Because the main forces behind have been transferred to Pengcheng to prepare for the decisive battle, all they have to do here is delay.

By the way, do these people look down on me, Han Xin, too much?

I am a man who has been entrusted with important tasks by the King of Han!

Although I no longer have elite soldiers, even the King of Han values ​​me, Han Xin, so much. How can you despise me?

Han Xin shook his head gently. After a while, I will definitely make these people cry for father and mother.

Looking at the order, he said: "After the troops are inspected, you will be a thousand people. You will choose two five-hundred generals, eight hundred generals, and twenty village commanders. The commanders and corps commanders will also be arranged, and the village commanders will be arranged.

The above gathered together and the other soldiers went to train for a few days."

"I understand!" Shan nodded in response, and deep down he was even moved to tears.

If you want to conquer a group of people, just talking about it won't work.

Han Xin knows better than anyone else, so he wants to tell these people with actions that the King of Han, and I, Han Xin, really do not treat you slaves who have just taken refuge as outsiders.

And Han Xin has absolute reasons to believe that soon, these people will become the King of Han, the Han army, and his loyal supporters.

Because except in Han Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible to give them this kind of treatment elsewhere.

Then Chengfu gradually became lively, and from time to time someone would return with more people.

It's still the same as before. According to the usual practice, the soldiers are inspected first. The requirements are not high. They run a certain distance in a designated place. This is to observe whether there are hidden diseases in the soldiers.

Then each hand lifted a stone weighing ten kilograms, which is equivalent to five kilograms in modern times. This was not a test of strong men, but simply to see whether they could move the knife easily.

The last one is age. Those above 50 years old will be ignored. In this era, those above 50 years old will basically have gray hair long ago. The grandsons at home will probably get married.

Why join the army?

Those who meet the above three points will be appointed immediately. For a time, the morale of the army will increase sharply.

However, Han Xin is not the only smart person, nor is he alone, there are also smart people hidden in the team.
Chapter completed!
