Yes, Han Xin has no military pay.
He gave away all the money in the box, and now he became a penniless pauper again.
Worse.
Although he was poor in the past, one person had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry.
But a few days later.
There may be tens of thousands of mouths waiting for food under his command.
Once there is a food shortage, a military mutiny is likely to occur. By then, hungry soldiers will completely tear Han Xin to pieces.
"May I have your name?"
Han Xin asked the attendant with a smile.
The attendant was stunned and replied:
"The villain's name is Kuai Tong. He has been on the Baiyue battlefield for three years and has not received any military merit."
When it comes to having no military exploits, Kuai Tong is obviously very depressed.
When the men of Da Qin came to the battlefield, they all had a common goal, which was to kill the enemy, perform meritorious service, and make a wife and son.
"Kuai Tong, you can take this into consideration, which shows that you are also a smart person. It happens that you are familiar with the situation in Baiyue. From now on, you will be my adviser and make suggestions for me. From now on, you can take the military exploits as you please!"
Han Xin patted Kuai Tong on the shoulder with great respect.
Kuai Tong was not in the mood to listen to his plans now.
He asked worriedly:
"General Han, I am not a villain who wants to say something depressing. You should think about what to do. When the time comes, tens of thousands of people will come to seek refuge. What will you do?"
He was impatient.
They were worried that Han Xin would not be able to control an army of ten thousand people without military pay. When the army mutinied, not only Han Xin would die, but everyone would suffer, and the city of Tan might also be lost.
Han Xin laughed and said:
"You don't have to worry about this. I, Han Xin, am afraid of everything, but I am not afraid of more soldiers. The more soldiers, the better. This is called the more the better."
Han Xin has outstanding talents and is familiar with the art of war. He can handle an army of millions or tens of millions, not to mention tens of thousands of troops.
"Maybe I'm unfounded."
Kuai Tong saw that Han Xin was full of confidence and immediately said no more.
Han pointed his whip at the map on the wall and asked:
"Kuai Tong, you have been here for three years and are more familiar with the situation in Baiyue than I am. In your opinion, if we want to relieve the pressure on Tan City, what should our army do?"
Today's situation is not optimistic.
There are hundreds of barbarian states, large and small, in fact, more than a hundred barbarian tribes. They claim to have assembled an army of 100,000, and they put pressure on Tancheng every day.
Tu Sui only had five thousand elites in his hands.
He knew that opening the city to fight the enemy would be courting death, so for more than half a year, Yiyi could not hold out and only fought defensive battles with the enemy. Each time, he relied on the favorable location of Tancheng to capture the enemy.
But it is not an option to continue like this.
Because Tu Sui can occupy the enemy a hundred times, but Tan City only needs to fall once, and the overall situation is decided and there is no way to recover.
Kuai Tong thought for a while and said:
"General Han, the number of enemy troops is several times ours. It is unrealistic to defeat them head-on. I very much agree with General Tu Sui's current strategy, which is to rely on a strong city to fight offensive and defensive battles with the enemy and defeat our army. maximize the advantages.”
Han Xin nodded and said:
"At present, this can only be done temporarily."
"However, when my team is replenished, the situation will be different. By then, I will let them know how powerful I am!"
At the end of the sentence, a fierce look appeared in his eyes.
Han Xin knew very well that holding on to the city would only mean being beaten passively. No matter how well the city was defended, it would not change the situation.
Want to turn things around?
Just win by surprise!
"General Han, do you have a good strategy to defeat the enemy? I would like to hear the details."
Kuai Tong is also a smart man.
He heard the overtones from Han Xin's words.
"You'll know then."
Han Xin smiled slightly.
Gugu~~~~
My stomach started to drum again.
Han Xin took Kuai Tong and strode towards the dining area.
He ate five large bowls of noodle soup, and Kuai Tong was dumbfounded. He had long heard that General Han had a miserable background, but he didn't expect that he would suffer like this. He was simply reincarnated as a starving ghost.
In fact, Kuai Tong didn't know.
The reason why Han Xin eats well is because he is practicing and consumes a lot of physical energy, so he often feels hungry.
Time flies.
In a few days, the Hundreds of Vietnamese Army launched two attacks on Tancheng, but they were both tentative attacks and were repelled by Tu Sui's men.
But Tu Sui guessed.
It won't take long for the Hundreds of Army to launch a fierce attack on the city, and then it will be the moment of life and death.
A few days later.
Soldiers returned to the camp one after another.
Some brought back one hometown hero, some brought back three hometown heroes, and some brought back five hometown heroes...
Han Xin began to count the number of people.
In just one day, he had more than 700 people under his command, and they were all young and middle-aged people. They were not comparable to the old, weak, sick and disabled.
"General, the villain has brought 103 villagers. They all want to follow the general, go into battle to kill the enemy, and perform meritorious deeds by killing the enemy. They are outside right now."
The soldier who asked himself about Han Xin finally came back.
He actually brought back hundreds of soldiers, which surprised Han Xin. After counting the number of soldiers, there were indeed 103 villagers, and they were all young adults.
"here you go!"
"This general will make you a centurion now!"
Han Xin fulfilled his promise and military orders in front of everyone.
That soldier became the first centurion under Han Xin. He became a good talk for a while and was envied by all the military camps. The matter even reached Xianyang Palace.
A few more days.
All the soldiers under Han Xin's command returned, and almost everyone brought troops. Only a few people did not bring anyone, and returned to the barracks alone, intending to go into battle to kill the enemy and make contributions.
And Han Xin also transformed from a mere commander into a general with an army of a thousand men under his command. He was a veritable hussar general.
According to Kuai Tong's statistics, there are more than 8,000 people.
These eight thousand soldiers are Han Xin's first army and the first pot of gold. With this army, he will fight in and out of the Baiyue Land and gain the reputation of a generation of soldier immortals.
But with more people, there are more problems.
Kuai Tong found Han Xin and said anxiously:
"General Han, come and think of a solution."
"What's wrong?"
Han Xin put down his pen and ink, looked at Kuai Tong, and asked:
"Is it a matter of military pay?"
"No." Kuai Tong shook his head and said: "The military pay will not be paid until the end of the month. The soldiers are not in a hurry now. There is a bigger problem right now, that is, our team is not only not equipped with armor, but also lacks weapons. "
"Don't worry, I'm also thinking of a way."
Han Xin also knew that the team was short of equipment.
He had emptied his military supply store a long time ago, and only had weapons for seven or eight hundred men. There was no way, no one could have expected in advance that he would be able to produce eight thousand soldiers, so the weapons and equipment were naturally not enough.
But actually the armor is not a big problem.
Because it is autumn now, and the Baiyue land is very hot. If the soldiers wear thick armor, it will probably kill people.
As for not having enough weapons?
This is the most fatal problem.
Eight thousand soldiers without weapons pose no threat to the enemy. If they rush forward, they will only be chopped into pieces.
