Qin Official

In the early morning of the next day, the soldiers woke up one after another, and nearly ten thousand people were placed in the north and south of the pass. Heifu himself and his personal guards lived in the pass.

On the way to take Lu Jia into Yangshanguan, Li Cang also teased:

"Mr. Lu, I was really sorry yesterday, but who told you to scold Junhou so harshly? Haha."

What can Lu Jia say? Afterwards, Heifu promoted him to a knighthood, from sergeant to sergeant, three levels in a row, which made him very embarrassed, tossing and turning all night long, making it difficult to sleep.

I came here early in the morning, firstly to say thank you, and secondly to apologize, otherwise it would be difficult to feel at ease.

At the moment, he could only respond: "It's Lu Jia who has a blind eye, a blind eye..."

When entering the barracks, Lu Jia saw that the short-soldier guards guarding the door had also cut off their buns. Seeing Lu Jia coming, they all looked at him fiercely. Hei Fu's prestige was at its peak. If Lu Jia dared to scold him again, his tongue might be cut out at night.

Li Cang explained: "It was Sang Mu Dai who led the general. Four thousand soldiers were killed by the general. When the officials were killed in the battle, the soldiers were also executed. Now the princes are asking for it. The soldiers cannot stop them. They think that they are also guilty of dereliction of duty. Then they all cut off their buns."

He pointed at his head of black hair and sighed: "We also wanted to kun, but the prince stopped us. He said that if the whole army was like this, those who don't know would think that Changnan Hou led everyone to abandon him. The Chinese dress and dress themselves as barbarians."

However, Hei Fu acquiesced to the action of the short soldiers. Lu Jia expected that when the news reached Wuchang Camp, the more than 3,000 short soldiers who were not brought this time would probably imitate him. Guard camp logo.

While talking, the two walked to a small courtyard, which was the residence of the Yangshan Pass guard. It occupied a small area. There was a well in the courtyard. When they entered the door, they found Hei Fu squatting by the well to get water to wash his hair. He was still humming a little tune, so happy...

…

Heifu is indeed very happy both physically and mentally.

The first is to use a small plan to perfectly solve the problem of rebel soldiers in Yangshan Pass. First kill all the soldiers. Without the leader, the remaining soldiers will have difficulty in uniting even if they want to cause rebellion again. Then, by asking for Shi Kun, he convinced the nearly 10,000 people present. He not only did not violate military discipline and law, but also established an image of being "trustworthy".

Once the prestige is established, it's easy to lead the troops. Just a lock of hair, which modern people don't pay much attention to, can bring the three armies back together. It's really worth it!

Secondly, I took this opportunity to say goodbye to my long hair and returned to the small haircut I had in my previous life.

The hairstyle of ancient people looks very primitive, but it is really inconvenient. If your girlfriends have long hair, you know how troublesome it is for them to wash their hair without a shower, shampoo, or hair dryer.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, Duke Zhou washed his hair three times a day. Not only did guests come too frequently, but it also took a long time to wash his hair. Moreover, long hair was difficult to dry and had to be sunbathed in the yard for a while.

Heifu was fine when he was in Beidi and Jiaodong. Not only could he use soap locust, hibiscus, etc. to remove oil, but he could also ask his wife to help. Heifu is a very sensitive and suspicious person at heart, and he doesn't like outsiders touching him.

When you get to the army, your balls hurt. You can only rely on your subordinates to even rub your back. Heifu was a southerner in his previous life, and he regards northern bathhouses as a nightmare. Being naked and letting a few big and thick military men scream and scream behind you, always... It feels weird.

There was no shampoo, so I had to make do with rice water.

Especially in the hot and humid south, when he was sweating during the march, his hair felt like a layer of glue. Sometimes he was too busy with official duties and had no time to take care of it, so many lice would breed and bite him all over his head...

But now, taking this opportunity, Heifu can finally say goodbye to his waist-length hair, his head full of lice, and the wooden grate (bi) specially used by the generals to screen out lice!

After wiping his hair and shouting happily, he happened to see Li Cang bringing Lu Jia over.

"It's Lu Jia."

Heifu smiled and said, "Why did you scold me yesterday?"

Lu Jia went down to pay homage to the inspector and said, "My subordinates have misunderstood you! You should not judge the size of your seawater based on the shallowness of the stream!"

"The amount of sea water?"

Heifu sat on the edge of the well and picked his ears: "How can I, a dishonest person, get the amount of sea water? My Lord's mind is very narrow!"

Li Cang hid his mouth and snickered beside him. It seemed that the king didn't want to let this Confucian scholar go. Lu Jia could only say helplessly:

"My subordinates said something wrong, but now I understand that there will be five virtues, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage, and strictness, and the king will have them all!"

Heifu held up his palm and said, "I just like to hear good things said by Confucian scholars. Not only are they nice to listen to, but they also quote from classics. Please tell me one by one."

Lu Jia could only bite the bullet and brag about his black husband.

"The prince knows five things, is good at seven strategies, can make plans, adapt to contingency changes, and knows people well. Everything is planned by the shogunate, and he can adapt to changes in battle and judge the situation. This can be called wisdom."

"If you advance, you will be rewarded generously, if you retreat, you will be severely punished. In Chen County, Jia He was beheaded, and the punishment was not high. For Lu Jia, who repeatedly offended the emperor, the reward was not overdue. He would rather be punished than break his promise. This can be said to be letter."

"The way is based on virtue, and the order is based on etiquette. When I was in Changsha, I knew that a soldier was sick. When I arrived in Chenxian, I inspected his hard work and thought, regarded him as an innocent man, and allowed him to take turns to rest. This can be called benevolence."

"The prince ignored the heat of the south and went to Lingnan in person to seize the opportunity to win decisively. He would never hesitate to patrol and cut off when he was ready. This can be called bravery."

"Military discipline is strict, and the power of killing is used to calm the hearts of the people, so that the soldiers know that military law is like fire and cannot be violated. It is said to be strict at this moment!"

Lu Jia was so eloquent that he spoke impeccably. Li Cang kept nodding aside.

"Throughout the ages, only Taigong, Sun Wu, Wu Qi, and Wang Jian were able to possess all the five virtues. The rest either lacked the wisdom of personal planning or the heart of benevolence..."

After finishing speaking in one breath, Lu Jia raised his eyelids to look at Hei Fu's expression, wanting to see if the Marquis of Changnan was satisfied with this flattery?

Heifu touched the beard on his chin: "That's right. If the general hadn't been promoted to a higher rank on the spot, I would have wanted you to be a doctor."

"Lu Jia's merits are so small, how dare he expect to be promoted to a higher rank? It would be nice if he could apologize to the king."

But Hei Fu shook his head: "Apologise? Isn't that enough? You cursed me to death. In this case, why not accompany me and get your hair done?"

"this……"

Lu Jia looked troubled. It was too difficult for Confucian scholars to have their hair tied back. They had complicated regulations on how they should tie their hair at any age and what kind of scarf they should wear when meeting their elders and superiors. If they had their hair tied back, they would not be able to go home. I met my teacher’s relatives and friends.

"Hahaha, it's a joke, don't take it seriously."

Hei Fu didn't make it difficult for him. He pointed to his hair and said: "Short hair also has the advantages of short hair. Not only is it easy to wash, but if someone beheads me in the future, they can't just tie my hair into a knot and tie it to the belt." I’m looking for a rope.”

This was a cold joke, but to Lu Jia and Li Cang's ears, it seemed to comfort them.

Lu Jia then continued seriously: "I saw it when I was studying. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Wu State was at war with the Qi State. The Qi people beheaded the Wu people. However, because the Wu people had tattoos and broken hair, they had to find ropes. Can tie the head..."

In the whole south, most people have broken hair. It must be because the weather is hot and it is easier to take care of it. However, Hei Fu dare not encourage the whole army to do this. If he does it, Ziying will report the news to Xianyang, and the DPRK will probably Some people say that he "has the ambition of Chu Zhuangqiu".

With the opening of Bashu to southwestern barbarians, envoys went through many dangers and went to the vicinity of Dianchi Lake to visit the Dian Kingdom. When the King of Dian claimed to be King Qingxiang of Chu, he was the great-grandson of Zhuang Qi, the general of the Western Expedition.

Seventy years ago, after Zhuang Qi captured three hundred miles of land near Dian Lake, the Chu State lost the capital of Ying. The entire Jianghan and central Guizhou were captured by the Qin State. With no way to retreat, he simply proclaimed himself king in Dian. Because there were only a few thousand Chu people on the expedition, Zhuang Qi changed his clothes and obeyed local customs in order to allow more than 100,000 Yunnan people to accept the new ruler.

Heifu's intention is not here, and he doesn't want people to "misunderstand" him.

Let's get back to the topic. The main reason why I asked Lu Jia to come here today is to help him with the uploading and distributing of information. This is also the main reason why Heifu promoted Lu Jia to his side. Although he has many old troops in the south, he has nothing to do with the soldiers and civilians who originally belonged to the Chu State. There is still a gap, and Heifu needs Lu Jia, a Chu native, as a link to win over the Chu soldiers.

Lu Jia spread out his paper and pen: "Now that Yangshan Pass has been decided, will the monarch tell the entire army to return to Lingbei the way they came?"

But Hei Fu asked: "Is this the only way back to Lingbei?"

Lu Jia was stunned for a moment and then reacted.

Indeed, in addition to walking on Yangshan Mountain and riding on Tianling Mountain, there is also a passage from Lingnan to Lingbei.

That is to go northeast from Huangxiguan, along the Beijiang River, and from Hengpuguan (Limensai)

Entering Yuzhang County, it is called "Beijiang Road".

But that road was cut off as early as a year ago due to the nuisance of the Yang Yue Mei family, and it has never been restored. Could Hei Fu mean...

"That's right, I don't like to go back the same way!"

Heifu stood up: "Inform the three armies that after a short rest, we will march to Huangxi Pass, and then let the 800 people whose hair I tied off and punished as prisoners lead the way!"

"Aren't they clamoring every day to go home and rest?"

"I'll let them go back! But they have to go through another road, from the blocked Beijiang Road. If eight hundred people can be my pioneers and open this road, they will be credited with a great merit, offset their mistakes, and regain their freedom!"
