While Han Xin was drinking tea and waiting.
General Tu Sui rushed into Han Xin's military camp and angrily asked him why he wanted to kill the guard guard? Why use military pay without notifying him?
for these questions.
Han Xin answered fluently.
He killed the guard because he did not obey military orders. Military orders are like mountains and do not tolerate disobedience. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed! A worthy death!
The reason for moving military pay is simpler.
Because Han Xin was a hussar general, he had the power to use part of the army's salary.
And the facts prove it.
Han Xin only touched the box he was supposed to touch, and didn't take any more than a tael of silver.
Makes sense.
That makes sense.
Tu Sui was stunned for a moment after hearing this, feeling that there was nothing he could do to him.
So I asked him,
At this moment, the various countries of Baiyue have assembled hundreds of thousands of troops to put pressure on our Tancheng Fortress. At this critical moment, as a hussar general, what are you, Han Xin, doing with your military salary if you don't think about a plan to retreat from the enemy?
However for this question.
Han Xin kept it secret for the time being and asked Tu Sui to wait and see, and the answer would be revealed soon.
Just then.
Five hundred old and weak people came to the front of the military camp.
Under the command of the deputy general, five hundred old and weak people stood in a neat queue, waiting for Han Xin's military review and lecture.
Han Xin and Tu Sui walked out of the camp together.
He stood in front of these five hundred people and announced loudly:
"Brothers, my name is Han Xin. Some of you have heard of me, some of you have not, but it doesn't matter."
"His Majesty is so gracious that he allowed me to be a hussar general. On the way to take office, I swore in my heart that I would end the crisis in Baiyue within three months! Let the southern border of Qin be peaceful!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Not only the five hundred Qin soldiers were in an uproar, but Tu Sui next to him was surprised. He felt that Han Xin was a newborn calf and was not afraid of tigers. He didn't know how complicated Baiyue's situation was. He actually boasted that he wanted to eliminate Baiyue's power over Qin within three months. Pressure in southern Xinjiang.
It's really that easy, Tu Sui has been done long ago.
He wouldn't defend Tan City to the death. He would defend it for more than half a year.
There are so many problems here.
The biggest problem is not enough troops.
Therefore, Tu Sui could only hold on and rely on the city to delay the enemy until news of success came from the north. At that time, His Majesty would mobilize a team to fight against the Huns and completely eliminate the land of Baiyue.
"Bring it out!"
Han Xin waved his hand.
The followers behind him understood and immediately moved the box of military pay out of the military camp.
Suddenly.
The white money made everyone unable to open their eyes and made people's hearts flutter.
But no one made any mistakes, and the Qin army maintained strict military discipline.
"What does Han Xin want to do?"
General Tu Sui was confused now.
There are still twenty days until the date when military pay is released. What is Han Xin's plan to move out the military pay? What the hell are you doing!
Just listen to Han Xin loudly declare:
"All officers and men listen to the order, and each of them comes forward to receive twenty taels of silver as a round-trip fare to return home. Whoever can bring back five relatives and friends within fifteen days, I will make him the captain of the corps! If he brings back ten people, I will make him the commander of the corps. Why! If I bring back a hundred people, I will make him a centurion! I will never break my promise!"
The loud voice spread throughout the military camp.
Wow!
Everyone was in an uproar again.
Everyone was dumbfounded and stared at Han Xin blankly.
If you bring back five people, you will be a captain; if you bring back ten people, you will be a captain; if you bring back a hundred people, you will be a centurion! This kind of thing was the first of its kind in the Qin Empire, and it was really shocking.
"General, I have a question?"
Suddenly, a Qin soldier asked Han Xin.
"what is the problem?"
Han Xin looked at the soldier with a smile.
Just listen to the soldier say:
"If I really bring back a hundred people, can you really let me be a centurion? What if I regret it then?"
The other soldiers also had this worry.
Han Xin chuckled and promised:
"My name, Han Xin, has the character for letter, and I always keep my word. I am issuing a military order now. If I go back on my words in the future, I will hand it over to General Tu Sui and deal with it according to military law!"
After that, he issued a military order.
A military order is not a verbal promise, it must be fulfilled, and if not fulfilled, you will be punished. This is no child's play.
And saw Han Xin's move.
All the soldiers gave up their suspicions and at least had initial trust in Han Xin.
Another soldier asked loudly:
"General, I wonder if you have ever thought about it. What will you do if we never come back after taking the money?"
His question,
I also asked the opinions of many people.
What should I do if I take the money and leave? What can you do to me? Can you still chase me to my hometown?
Han Xin smiled and said calmly:
"Haha, for the sake of a small profit, would the sons of Da Qin be so short-sighted if they gave up the opportunity to be promoted to a higher position? Don't you want to be a general?"
"think!"
The soldiers said in unison.
The Great Qin Dynasty implemented a military merit system. The more meritorious services were performed, the higher the military rank. This was world-famous.
The most representative character is Bai Qi. From an ordinary soldier, he killed enemies all the way, and finally became Lord Wu'an of the Qin Dynasty, becoming the murderous god of Kyushu.
"Okay, let's start registration."
Han Xin stopped talking nonsense and started to register. The five hundred soldiers lined up to receive the money one by one. They had been busy all morning and finally ended successfully.
After finishing, Tu Sui came over and asked Han Xin:
"Han Xin, how many of these five hundred people do you think can come back?"
"General Tu, what do you think?"
"It's hard to say, and I can't judge."
"Then we'll see in a few days."
Han Xin smiled slightly and walked towards his military camp.
Tu Sui watched Han Xin leave and saw that he seemed confident, but he was unsure for a moment.
He then thought about it.
Anyway, Han Xin spent his own share of the military pay and dismissed his own subordinates. Tu Sui didn't expect him to be able to resist Baiyue, so he simply laughed it off.
After Han Xin returned to the military camp, he asked someone to bring him a map of Baiyue.
The attendant was worried that his actions today would be self-defeating, so he kindly reminded:
"General Han, I have something stuck in my throat, and I won't say it quickly. Please don't worry too much. If today's five hundred people bring back tens of thousands of horses in a few days, what will happen to the general?"
"How will it end? Isn't that what you want?"
Han Xin saw that this person also had good intentions for him.
The attendant said kindly:
"General, this is your first time leading an army. You may not know something. The food for an army of a hundred people for a day, including the fodder for the horses, will require at least ten bags of grain."
"The food for an army of ten thousand people for a day is hundreds of bags of food. This is just food, there are also clothes, weapons, tents, medicines, etc. The most important thing is that we have no military pay!"
