At this time, the northern border of Great Qin.
Now that the roads had been revealed long ago, the Northern Frontier had entered a busy time.
Marching to war isn’t as easy as recruiting soldiers and being fine.
Supplies, food and fodder, equipment, and so on, each of these is a huge expense.
With all these things, it won’t just go straight to the border, the transport on the way is also a great consumption.
There is also the expenditure of civilian manpower.
So, to supply hundreds of thousands of troops with supplies, the consumption of both manpower and material resources was extremely huge.
At the inland border of Yunzhong County, a fleet of caravans transporting supplies was doing a handover with the soldiers and soldiers of Yunzhong County.
Nowadays, some changes had been made to the way the supplies were delivered.
Although the militia were still conscripted, all the militia did not have to go out of their own counties, and only had to be responsible for deliveries within their counties.
When they arrived in another county, someone would naturally take over.
In this way, it can reduce wastage and also allow the folk to delay the farming time as little as possible.
“General Liu, from here on out, these supplies can be left to you.”
A convoy leader handed over the supplies paperwork to a middle-aged man with an extraordinary face.
Although the other party’s rank was lower than his own, the middle-aged man did not show the slightest bit of negligence and said, with a smile.
“All of you have worked hard, we still have to check today, and it’s getting late, why don’t we take a rest inside our camp and set out tomorrow.”
“Fan Kuai, go prepare some food.”
The big man next to the middle-aged man instantly sulked and returned.
“Yes, big brother. ”
The middle-aged man was naturally Liu Bang.
Soon, everything was arranged and there was a burst of laughter from the camp.
Taking advantage of a lull, Liu Bang came out drunkenly, while Fan Kuai on the side was not too happy, but muttered.
“Big brother, this we have made such a great achievement, yet they are asking us to transport the supplies.”
Hearing this, Liu Bang frowned slightly and said.
“What nonsense, the general is trusting us by giving us the task! I have to do a good job.”
Fan Kuai bristled and was about to say something when Liu Bang, who was on the side, continued, saying
“Cao Shen, Zhang Liang and the others are the ones who have contributed the most to transporting the supplies this time, and last time it was also the man Zhou Bo who got the most credit, so if you complain again, you can go back to me!”
Hearing this, Fan Kuai still screwed up and said.
“If you don’t say it, you don’t say it, it’s just that he this later, which is not as close as our brothers.”
The last time he killed the Xiong Nu nobles, it was indeed Zhou Bo’s raid
Got it, and he certainly had some help is all.
But for now, he really wasn’t the only force option within their little group.
“Alright, it’s about time to drink now, so go keep them company and make a good impression, I’m going to take a look around.”
Liu Bang said at this time.
Anyway, the wine and meat supplies used were the attrition of the army, but the favours made were his own.
Then why not do it?
Fan Kuai still liked to drink and eat meat, so he answered and turned around to go back to his tent.
Liu Bang was walking in the camp at this time, with a slight feeling in his heart.
He himself did not come out voluntarily this time though.
However, after arriving here, looking at the military power of Great Qin, the great power of the world, and then thinking about when he was in command of tens of thousands of people.
Inevitably, there are some feelings of nostalgia.
If he had another chance, he might have made a different choice.
Which man does not want to be a vassal, or even point to the top?
The saying, “It is better to be a lord than a prince,” was something he had always kept in his heart.
Just at this time, a tearing cold wind blew, Liu Bang slightly sobered up a few points, and laughed at himself, and
“Hey, actually being a magistrate is not bad.”
Feeling a few moments of coldness, Liu Bang then walked directly towards the fire in the nearest camp.
The night was chilly, and the folk on night watch had fires, just far away from the supplies.
At this time, the folk were talking about music, when they saw someone coming over, they just moved to a position, and then continued to talk about music.
“Hey, I heard that your daughter-in-law is about to give birth.”
“Hehehehehehe, well, this time when I go back it will be almost done, it just so happens that the credit for transporting the supplies can be exchanged for the farming family’s ploughing oxen to help out a little more.”
“I was thinking of exchanging for a Qin plough of my own, it’s always inconvenient to share it with others.”
“Qin plough? That’s a big item, there’s a bronze and iron head, you don’t have enough for this one time, do you?”
“Of course it’s not enough, my brothers are coming, if it wasn’t for the busy spring ploughing and my age, my father would be coming too, and when we’re done with this year, it should be almost ready.”
Listening to the folk’s conversation, Liu Bang’s heart was also slightly emotional, now the Hundred Schools of Thought have fully assisted Great Qin, which was not before.
If it was the previous labour and so on, who would still have the heart to talk and laugh?
“Just hope that this battle is finished in a hurry, I don’t have that many brethren at home.”
“Hmph, if it weren’t for these prairie sons of b*tches, I’d have been busy with spring ploughing.”
A civilian said with a few moments of indignation.
Others have said.
“Who says it isn’t, these people won’t live their lives properly either!”
“Hey, it’s not like this isn’t beneficial, at least we’re getting credit for this.”
“Bah! Compared to transporting supplies and earning credit, I’d rather volunteer to build His Majesty’s imperial tomb! My brother is there.”
“All right, all right, what’s all the noise? Keep your voices down!”
Soon the folk lowered their voices.
Liu Bang’s eyes, however, looked puzzled, because he suddenly remembered when he was a magistrate before, every time he received a decree, it was always a request from above that the people must be given a clear explanation in the most straightforward words.
To tell the people what the officials were going to do and why they were doing it.
At the very beginning, he was still a little confused, wasting the time of the officials, what was the point of giving these stupid people this?
Now, he seemed to understand some of it.
Right now, Great Qin still had labour service, and although there were so-called merits and subsidies, this was far from enough.
But the people didn’t seem to resent it too much, and were even thinking of going to build an imperial tomb for the First Emperor, which was something he had never heard of before!
It seemed that within these unusual initiatives, there were some changes that were quietly taking place.
He knew that these changes were important, but he couldn’t see them.
And the source of all these changes seemed to be Zhao Lang.
Soon, the night was deep.
Liu Bang was about to get up and leave, but he realised that there was something familiar about the person across the fire…
“Zhang Liang?”
Liu Bang shouted in a low voice.
The person on the opposite side seemed to have come back to his senses at this time, looked at Liu Bang, and with a few shades said.
“Lord Pei, aren’t you drinking wine?”
Liu Bang laughed and
“Accompany them and naturally look at everyone.”
Liu Bang was about to make a couple of close calls, but Zhang Liang just smiled reluctantly and said.
“Also, Pei Gong, I will go and rest first, I have to leave early tomorrow.”
Liu Bang didn’t stop him, but only waited for the other party to leave, his complexion changed slightly.
Early the next morning, the team set off.
A few days later, Liu Bang returned to the front of the camp with the supplies and was about to go hand in his orders when suddenly, a sound came from the
“Make way for the main road! Liaodong has won a great victory! His Highness the Crown Prince has returned to camp!”
Within a short time, everyone could see that, surrounded by hundreds of cavalry, Zhao Lang had returned to the camp.
Liu Bang looked at the mighty and unrivalled Zhao Lang, and the great ambition in his heart turned up a few more times.
