Chapter 127 The gentleman

Crossing the Fenxing Pass, crossing Yingshui, which had just been frozen and still had to build a bridge, and walking 130 miles northward is the capital of Yingchuan County, and the old capital of South Korea is Xinzheng. It is heavy snow that does not fall, which brings great trouble to the marching of the Chu army, especially to the towing of the artillery trucks. Only in the morning when the snow was frozen, the army barely advanced thirty miles before it could go on the ground and then camped on the spot.

Just like Wang Jian and Li Xin retreated at the beginning of the year, burning the houses of the villages along the way, so that the Chu army had no firewood to burn. However, the common people in the Han area pulled the carriages and walked for more than ten miles and dozens of miles to send dry firewood outside the camp where the Chu army was stationed. Burning coal is cheaper than burning firewood, and burning coal can save half of it. Before arriving in Xinzheng, the Chu army had no worries about logistics. However, seeing these common people who sent firewood, the Chu army soldiers still had the feeling of eating pots and slurry to welcome the royal family.

"Do you have a cake? Are you still have a cake? Are you have a cake?" On the same day, Liu Bang wandered around again. He broke into the black tent with coal fire, ignored his comrades who were roasting the fire, and went straight to the row of hanging backpacks. Liu Bang did something similar to that, and he didn't have a cake, so he directly searched for the canned meat inside.

The soldiers brought three-day rations and three canned foods. People usually don’t want to eat them because the three-day rations can be kept in their backpacks and brought home. Seeing that Liu Bang found the canned food, someone was unhappy, Zhou Changqiang smiled: "Brother Ji, this meat is also the meat..."

"So what about meat? I won't give up?" Liu Bang didn't even look back. His voice was justified. He searched for cans and said, "Why are we rejecting Qin? Isn't it for all people? Under the rule of Qin, the common people have no clothes, no food or house, but you have fire to roast..."

Liu Bang had studied, so the teacher naturally taught him a lot of principles of being a human being. The Qin State reduced grain production and collected grain and fodder during the war. The common people of Yingchuan County were almost completely expropriated. The cold weather was cold, and the common people who sent firewood were yellow and thin, not only did they have thin clothes.

Liu Bang, who quickly carried a canned bag and a backpack on his chest, took out the tent under the public eye. As soon as the curtain was lifted, he stopped when the wind and snow came in. The backpack in front was placed on the ground. He grabbed the iron pliers and clamped them, sealed the coal stove with the raging flames.

"You are..." After taking away everyone's rations and not letting everyone get the fire, Cao Shen couldn't help but get angry.

"How am I?" Liu Bang was still in the tone just now. "I ask you to come out and see, why not eat or fill your stomach? Why are you wearing rags?"

"What do you have with me?" Cao Shen snatched the iron pliers from Liu Bang's hand, and the next sentence he was frightened by Liu Bang.

"Can you be a scholar of Yu?" Liu Bang is older than Cao Shen, but his figure is smaller than him. "Is there a heart of benevolence and love, and I deserve to be a scholar of Yu?"

"Me?" Cao Shen was a fierce soldier. The ideal of a fierce soldier was to become a honorary scholar, and he was granted the title. From then on, he got rid of the status of common people and became a noble. The honorary scholar was the lowest-level nobleman, and was elected by various divisions and brigades. Cao Shen, who had never studied, did not know how to choose a honorary scholar. He only knew that fighting bravery was just a prerequisite, and was frightened by Liu Bang.

"Brother Ji, but the chief of the soldiers has his life, so I want me to wait for the tent?" He didn't burn the fire in the cold weather and went out to watch a group of common people. Even Xiahou Ying, the man who bullied and fooled, was not very happy to go out. At this time, Lu Wan had already carried his back on the ground.

"Will you go or not, just ask yourself if you want to ask yourself." With the wind and snow, Liu Bang's words soon disappeared outside the Wuguan. The crowd looked at me, I looked at you, and finally looked at Zhou Ke.

Zhou Ke was similar to Liu Bang and Lu Wan, and he also read books, and was in the same ranks as Liu Bang but different from others. Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhou Ke coughed twice and said, "Watch a country of people, as if it is a country; look at a family of people, as if it is a family; look at a person's body, as if it is a person's body. Therefore, the princes will not fight in the field; the head of the family will not usurp each other; the people will not be thieves..."

Zhou Ke read a lot of books, but not many of them had read books. After hearing this long passage, the more he listened, the more he couldn't understand what he was saying. Zhou Chang smiled bitterly: "Brother, let's wait, I'll really follow Liu Ji to watch?"

Peifeng and other places used to belong to the Song State, and Song State was a Mohist. Zhou Ke was about to explain to his comrades what is a combination of love, why is it necessary to be a combination of love, and how to be a combination of love, but was interrupted by his cousin. He was not angry and said, "It is better to see it at first sight than to hear it, so what if you go?"

In order to keep warm in winter, a large tent lived in a 3-country and fifteen people. As soon as Zhou Ke came out of the tent, he saw Liu Bang not leaving yet. He was pulled by a strong man in front of the tent and fisted. Fortunately, the strong man's fist was grabbed by someone.

"Beat! You hit! If you have sex, you will beat me!" Liu Bang did not resist. He lowered his hands, but his mouth became aggressive. "Last year, your father had illness, how can heal the illness? How can heal the illness? Today, when others are in trouble, I can't bear to give me a few cakes and a few cans. What's your righteousness?!"

It’s nothing to rush into this tent to search for dry food, but it’s different to rush into another tent to search for dry food. However, when Liu Bang mentioned the old things, the strong man had to put down his fists and let go of Liu Bang’s collar.

All the soldiers are common people. In recent years, wars have been going on and out of the sky. Who has no difficulties? It’s fine if the clans are not there. A family like Xiahou Ying, a single family moving from other counties like Zhou Bo, has really difficulties and nowhere to rely on, so they can only live and die.

The Chu army's organization was also organized in normal times. Liu Bang unconsciously linked up a single family with his own nature, and then climbed up some wealthy families who were easy to talk to. He always tried his best to help him if he had any difficulties. Such a hero does have the right to rush into others' tents to collect dry food, because many people have received his favor.

"Brother Ji, Brother Ji..." The commander in the tent rushed out to smooth things out. He kicked the strong man hard and made him kneel on the snow. "I don't know what kind of righteousness is? Why are Brother Ji angry? Brother Ji please calm down and calm down." On the side, he turned to his dazed comrades and said, "What are you doing? You haven't sent the dry food out of the camp!"

"Don't leave your old clothes behind." Liu Bang breathed a sigh of relief and tidied up his wrinkled clothes.

"Remember! The old clothes cannot be left behind." The eldest son laughed and quickly ordered, not caring about the contemptuous gazes of Zhou Ke and others - just over ten days ago, this person almost fought with Liu Bang. As soon as the news of Liu Bang marrying the daughter of Yong's family came out these days, his attitude changed immediately, and he wanted to kneel in front of Liu Bang and call him the father.

"Don't kneel." Liu Bang patted the strong man on the kneeling shoulder and asked him to get up. "Remember! If you don't help others, why do you help you?"

From ten miles away to enter the Chu army camp, Zhang Liang on the cart saw the Korean commoners outside the camp. These people either shouldered or used ox carts to send dried firewood outside the Chu army camp. The military officials in charge of the baggage would pay some Chu money according to the amount of dried firewood. The commoners who received the money would not leave immediately, but they looked at the door of the military camp - after a while, the leftover food of the soldiers would be poured out by the soldiers.

"This is, why is this?" Zhang Liang was puzzled by the yellow-faced compatriots standing outside the Chu camp in rags. Under the sun, the weather was not cold and it seemed warm. If they had sold out firewood, wouldn't they be afraid of snow if they didn't hurry home?

"The nobles don't know what. The Qin people collected millet, and the people had no food, so they begged for food in the Chu army." The chariot was hired by Zhang Liang, and the old man in the imperial chariot was a local. He finally cried out sadly: "Ah! For three years, all the people have missed my king, and all the people have missed me South Korea!"

The old man said that Zhang Liang wanted to cry when he heard this. Han Dynasty was in trouble, and everything was not good, and he would never fight every year. The Qin people were completely different. Li Xin's hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed in Xiangcheng, and the Qin officials wished they could shave three feet of the ground.

"Stop! Stop!" Zhang Liang shouted to stop the car. Before the car stopped, the person jumped down. He hurriedly took off the fox fur on his body and put it on a woman holding a child. The woman's clothes were not covered, and the cold wind could see the light back.

"Negotiable, noble, no, no..." The fur coat with body temperature shocked the woman, and she was so scared that she knelt down quickly.

"My Zhang family is the minister of the king. The king is worried and the minister is exhausted. The king is humiliated and the minister dies. The king loses his country. I, Zhang family, is guilty!" The woman knelt down. Seeing that the Han people were exploited and bullied by Qin, Zhang Liang couldn't help but kneel down.

"Is it the Zhang family's son? It's the Zhang family." The Zhang family in South Korea has only been the Han prime minister for generations. I heard that it was the Zhang family's son. In the cold wind, common people kept gathering towards him and surrounded him. There were even a few powerful men who gave firewood to him.

The common people looked at Zhang Liang and shed tears. Zhang Liang also saw the common people and shed tears. It would be fine. His first words made everyone cry: "The Qin people lost consecutive battles and defeats. Under the foot of the foot mountain, the Qin soldiers' bodies were piled up like mountains, and I can recover from Korea."

"How can I be restored?" The old man driving also cried. He didn't know that he was carrying the Zhang family's son, nor did he know that the Qin people were piled up like mountains at the foot of the Shou Mountain, nor did he know that South Korea was about to restore the country.

"However, the queen is the sister of the King of Chu, and the prince is the son of the King of Chu. The King of Chu said that if Qin destroys Han, Chu would restore it..." Zhang Liang held back his crying and said patiently to the Han people around him. Chu State is the hope of Han's restoration. The Chu army was about to capture Xinzheng. He was just because of this that he hurried to meet the King of Chu and discuss the matter of restoring the country.

His words gave the common people unlimited hope, and also made the children of powerful men in the crowd give endless hope. The local tyrants were not familiar with the new local officials from Guanzhong, had no way to bribe, and the Qin officials were rigid in their style, which had been difficult in recent years. If South Korea could restore its country, life would be better than it is now.

"Young Master Zhang, how can I ask how much land we wait for after the restoration of the country?" Looking at Zhang Liang who was about to leave after he finished speaking, two well-dressed middle-aged men hurriedly asked. They had private land, and when the Qin people arrived, the private land was confiscated.

"It's all back." Zhang Liang said loudly, saying their overjoyed answer. At this time, the car drove forward again, but after walking for a few miles, Zhang Liang called for a stop. He saw some Chu soldiers distributing cakes and old clothes to the Koreans, and the rare canned food.

"I don't know..." Zhang Liang bowed deeply to a Chu Zun who opened the can for the old man. Chu Zun glanced at him and walked over to himself. He had to chase him and asked, "Who can you ask?"

"Who?" Xiahou Ying looked at Zhang Liang, whose skin was as fair as a woman, smiled strangely, and replied, "I am a Chu person."

"Dare you ask which general is under your command?" Zhang Liang bowed again, pointed to the Koreans who were eating cakes behind Chu Zu, and asked again: "Why is this..."

"This is all my advice from Brother Ji." Xiahou Ying replied, and handed a can to the Korean.

"Brother Ji?" Zhang Liang was puzzled. Xiahou Ying pointed to the opposite side. Zhang Liangcai saw more people and more Chu Zhu who distributed canned cakes. He asked several people to find Brother Ji, and bowed deeply after several steps, "Han Zhang Liang, a Korean, has seen Brother Ji, dare to ask about the name of Brother Ji?"

"You are..." There are few grains and many people. Liu Bang is not a military officer in charge of military rations. He can only save some people. He doesn't care who is standing in front of him, nor does he care about Zhang Liang, who has a fine skin and a fair skin. He is born to not like this kind of person. After returning the gift slightly, he said without a smile: "I am unknown, I don't know what the young master is?"

"I am a Korean, I am a gift for me. Zhang Liang thanked me." Zhang Liang said as he was about to bow his head and bow. Liu Bang hurriedly stopped him. "I have old clothes and food, but the people have no food, so the people have no benefits."

"A gentleman is my best, I hope to tell my name." Zhang Liang bowed again. The more he looked at Liu Bang, the more he felt that this person was a gentleman. He also saw that there were many scratches on the giant armor he wore, and he became more respectful in his heart. He thought that after South Korea restored his country, he would definitely invite this person to come to South Korea to become an official.

"How could I be a gentleman or a commoner?" Liu Bang couldn't help laughing. If he were a man wearing sheep fur and torn clothes, he would never refuse like this. Zhang Liang was wearing a brocade robe, a jade pendant hanging on his waist, and a fur on his feet. He looked very much like a woman. He instinctively stayed away from such a noble young man and didn't want to have anything to do with them.

Liu Bang refused again. When Zhang Liang wanted to say something again, the bell of lunch in the camp rang. He smiled and said goodbye. Zhang Liang could not enter the camp, so he watched him leave helplessly. Until he entered the shogunate to visit the Yingshi Simazhuang, he was still thinking about the appearance of this nameless brother Ji.

"What's the matter with Mr. Zhang?" Zhuang Wudi knew Zhang Liang and knew his identity, so he could probably guess his purpose.

"The Chu army is about to restore Xinzheng, and I am here to restore the country." Zhang Liang said. "If South Korea can be restored, I will drive the Chu and Wei fronts, north of the Dahe River and east of Hangu Pass, and my Han army can be stationed..."

Before coming, Zhang Liang had contacted Yingdu. The most important task of his trip was to rebuild the Korean army. South Korea was destroyed and Zhao State was also destroyed, but South Korea's status was far inferior to Zhao State. Why? Zhao State had 100,000 Zhao troops, while South Korea only had one or two thousand Han soldiers.

"This matter..." Zhuang Wudi shook his head.

"How?" Zhang Liang asked anxiously. With Mi Qin's relationship and the promises of the King of Chu, the Chu army immediately came to Xinzheng. He could not think of any reason Zhuang Wudi refused him for.

Looking at Zhang Liang with complex eyes and hope, Zhuang Wudi finally said, "Today, Qi people went out to the frontier to fight with the Qin army."

"Ah!?" Zhang Liang was stunned, "The Qi people? The Qi people went out to the frontier to fight with the Qin army...?"

"Oh." The shogunate also received the news just now in the morning. The 300,000 Qi troops went out to chase the 150,000 Qin troops, and both sides formed an array on the east coast of the Jishui River, fifty miles south of Pingyin Pass. "If the Qi people were defeated, our army should quickly rush to Qi..."

"Chi...Aid...Qi...Nation..." One word at a time, Zhang Liang's face no longer had blood.

"This is Chu's self-rescue. If Qi State is destroyed, Muling Pass will be in danger." Zhuang Wudi also sighed. He stopped talking, hoping that the bravery of the people of Qi could be worthy of their inner pride.
