Shan Yuting is very lively. It turned out that two days ago, Xin Sheng's 30,000 horses also arrived! Xin Sheng's title and position are greater than Montenegro's, and Montenegro hurried to meet him! Xin Sheng said with a smile: "Your name in Montenegro has long been famous in China, and I, Xin Sheng, don't dare to hold it up." Did you catch a big order? ”

"The boss Shan Yu's head is here, and the new big Shan Yu has run away, leaving only the book and the treasure knife." Montenegro replied, explaining the matter to Xin Sheng in detail.

"General Montenegro is really a blessed general, so very good, hurry up and take a fast horse to the south day and night, and send these to General Meng Tian." Xin Sheng opened the package and looked at Touman's head and Danyu. Said excitedly.

"Don't bother! In a few days, we're all going to go back and bring it back together, can't we? Montenegro said.

"O Montenegro! You're still young! I don't know about politics! Send the head back first, this is an immortal achievement, send more people to escort, it must be foolproof. Xin Sheng said anxiously.

"Meng Hao, you take a thousand people, two thousand war horses, and I will travel day and night, and we will send Shan Yu's head to the general. Remember, be quick, give you an hour to prepare! "When I get back, I ask the general to send 10,000 ox carts to carry the booty." ”

"No!" Meng Hao left in response.

"There are so many seizures that it will take several days to load them," Baturu reported. ”

"Load the valuable ones first." Montenegro turned his head and said to General Xin Sheng: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the good things in the warehouse." Saying that, he came to the rows of big caves artificially opened by Beishan with Xin Sheng, and the sentry at the gate was a cronie of Montenegro.

"The lower row is all kinds of grain, and the middle row is silk, and there are tens of thousands of horses. Or all kinds of gold, silver and bronze, precious jade, agate. Finally, there is a storehouse of gold cakes, and a storehouse of copper coins and silver coins. Montenegro introduced!

"Okay! Dude, you've made a fortune! Xin Sheng said enviously.

Montenegro walked to the cave of gold and silver coins, and saw that the cave was closed, and it was still tied with thin red wires.

The sentry said, "This was made by General Baturu, and saying that the red silk is not broken proves our innocence!" ”

Black Mountain kicked open the door, and was so stunned that the house was full of gold. It took a while to get used to it. Everyone was exclaiming, "So many gold coins! "No one can tell how many. Even Xin Sheng's eyes straightened.

Montenegro picked up a few gold coins, ranging in size from three taels to a fingernail. All sorts of strange text on it. Most of these gold coins are of ordinary color and crudely minted. Except for a small number of gold coins from various Chinese countries, the coins are not bad. "From the gold coins, it can be seen that the Chinese civilization is much more advanced than the countries of the Western Regions!" Montenegro said with emotion.

"How do you see it, how can I not read it?" Xin Sheng also took a few and looked at them carefully and asked.

Montenegro didn't bother to explain, and said, "I'm just talking nonsense!" ”

Suddenly, Montenegro found out from a large pile of gold coins that several gold coins were unconventionally made, fine, and the finest fineness. The gold coin is the same size as the one-dollar coin of later generations, but the weight is three times heavier, although the color is very good, the hardness is harder than other gold coins, the obverse of the gold coin is a human head, the outline is clear, the facial features are also very clear, the back is a row of arc-shaped Latin letters Μακεδονία, Montenegro does not understand Latin, these gold coins are so exquisitely crafted, is it the same as me?

Montenegro said to Xin Sheng beside him: "So much loot, half of it is your capture!" ”

"Don't harm me, do you know that the crime of military justice of the Qin State is beheading to show the public? The Lord will take the risk, and the captain will be beheaded. It's still okay for us to ship it back for you! Xin Sheng said.

"So be it! All the soldiers of the Qin army, including your 30,000 men, are allowed to grab a handful of gold coins and go back. The Qin Military Law also stipulates that every time the Qin army captures, the gold and silver treasures can be left within 30% to reward the three armies, and the difference between the number of soldiers and officers shall not exceed half, and the average amount of gold per person shall not exceed 300 gold. Hei San said. This handful should be less than 300 gold!

"In that case, I thank you on behalf of the brothers of the whole army!" Xin Sheng said!

Montenegro ordered the release of all slaves, with a reward of 2,000 dollars each for each man and woman. Those who are willing to go south together can be treated like relocated people, and those who help drive cattle and sheep back will be rewarded with another 2,000 yuan. Thousands of male captives were in charge of driving, and more than 100,000 women and children traveled south. All the goods were loaded into trucks, and the grain was brought back later. There is too much food, and it can't be pulled without 10,000 carts!

Montenegro took a thousand horsemen, with the head of Touman Da Shan Yu, and traveled south day and night.

It took Baturu and Xinsheng's army four days to get it all done. Nearly 10,000 trucks carrying wealth and some women and children drove hundreds of thousands of horses, cattle and sheep south. The whole team was three hundred miles long, and each soldier carried a bag of gold coins in his arms, like arrows.

The Black Mountain team worked non-stop, and it took five full days to reach Cloudsdale.

Besides, on the night of the breakthrough of Touman Dadan, all the 50,000 Hun troops who broke through by wooden platoon were killed.

After dawn, the Hun troops defending the city surrendered without a leader! 120,000 in total.

When the envoys of Zhao, Wei, Qi, Chu, and Yan entered Yunzhong City with Meng Tian, they all changed their faces when they saw the sea of corpses and blood outside the city, the heads of the ten hills, and the more than 100,000 Xiongnu troops in the city. Meng Tian announced the battle on the spot: So far, more than 236,000 people have been beheaded and more than 123,000 have been captured, not counting the more than 70,000 people who let the Huns kill each other in Daqingshan. "Meng Tian will lead the big order to come to Yunzhong County, how to use the trick to make the Xiongnu kill each other. In order to make Da Shan Yu stay in Yunzhong County for one night, even the pediatric cold meter was used. Of course, he didn't say a word about the transfer of troops in Yongdao, and such a good method will have to be used to deal with these five countries in the future.

"The general led the army to kill the Huns and won this great victory, which is really unprecedented. The number of beheadings can be compared to the two great victories of King Zhao Wuling and General Li Mu. I just don't know that the head of the big single can be captured? The envoy of Zhao asked. He deliberately mentioned Zhao's two victories over the Xiongnu to downplay Qin's victory.

"Alone digging tunnels and leading more than 10,000 people to escape, our army general is pursuing, I believe that he will definitely not be able to escape, and there will be good news soon." Let's wait and see! Meng Tian said.

The next morning, someone reported: "Xin Sheng caught up with Touman and beheaded more than 8,000 people." Touman Da Danyu was rescued by his eldest son Mao Dun with 60,000 troops, and he was still in pursuit.

In the next few days, thousands to more than 10,000 reports came every day, until the sixth day of the military report, only 7,000 people were left in Da Shan Yu and his son, and only 7,000 people fled north and lost their whereabouts, and General Xin took 30,000 to go straight to Da Dan Yu court. Meng Tian's heart is getting more and more nervous! It took five days for a war report to be received. Half a month later, he received a battle report: "Montenegro killed more than 35,000 Huns and captured Dadan Yu ......"

"Da Danyu, captured!" Meng Tian interjected and asked.

"More than 100 wives and children were captured, and the wives and children of all the leaders were ......"

"Don't read it, did you just say that you caught a big order?" Meng Tian roared.

"Not yet, there are only a few hundred people left in Touman Dashan Yu's father and son to continue to flee north, and General Montenegro took three thousand iron horsemen to chase after him!" The scout who reported the news originally thought that the general would be happy to reward him with something, but he didn't expect to get angry, and he didn't know what to do for a while!

Wang Ben motioned for the scouts to go down and rest first, and told the soldiers to treat them well. Then he said: "Don't be angry, the general has been beheaded more than 300,000 people, more than 100,000 family members of Shan Yu and the rest of the leaders have been captured, and less than 50,000 of our troops have been killed." It's unprecedented! Even if Touman escapes, he is still a bare-bones commander. It can't be the climate! ”

"I'm in a hurry, I told the king and the envoys of the five kingdoms that I would definitely be able to capture Touman, and now that Touman has run away, won't they make them laugh at me. Besides, I wrote to the King of Qin ten days ago, guaranteeing that all Touman and the 350,000 Hun army would be annihilated. It's good now, but there is less head man Danyu. King Qin is already about to arrive in Cloud City with a few ministers! How can I explain it to him! Meng Tian said with annoyance.

"Tell the general, King Qin will be good in Daying City at noon, and he will definitely go to Cloud City in the afternoon." A scout came in to report.

"How can it be so fast? In terms of time, it will take several days to arrive. Meng Tian asked.

"As soon as the King of Qin came out of Xianyang, he broke away from the team and only took a hundred guards, and rode a fast horse to Yunzhong City." The scout said.

"With such an anxious son King Qin, I, the general, can't help but be anxious!" Meng Tian laughed and said, "Hurry up and get ready to drive!" ”

Cloudsdale is suddenly busy! Two thousand men were responsible for sprinkling water and sweeping the floors, and five thousand inspected every corner of the city and beyond. A thick carpet stretched a hundred steps from the gates to the shogunate! The generals and envoys of the five countries above the rank of Zuo Shu all went outside the city to greet them! On the left side of the carpet is a phalanx of 10,000 heavy cavalry, and on the right is a phalanx of 20,000 heavy infantry.

As soon as he stood in line, King Qin's horse team appeared in sight. Meng Tian waved his hand, and the military Sima immediately shouted: "The military horn is all together, and the triumphant song welcomes the King of Qin!" ”

Dozens of long military trumpets were immediately sounded at the same time, and dozens of war drums and golden bells were also sounded to the rhythm......

King Qin was dressed in a black embroidered gold tight-fitting robe, with only a black gold-rimmed turban tied in his hair bun, and rode a black BMW to walk first, followed by an inner attendant who was Zhao Gao, and a centaur team followed. When he came to greet the crowd, he really turned over and jumped off the horse without waiting for the horseman to take the horse rope, and threw a jade-handled horsewhip to the horse picker, so he laughed and strode forward! Meng Tian and the other generals immediately stood solemnly, bowed down, and shouted, "See the king!" ”

"Foreign ministers see King Qin!" The envoys of the five countries also paid a visit to them in unison.

"It's all exempt, King Qin waved his sleeves. There was no diplomatic etiquette to exhort the envoys of various countries. The envoys of the five countries felt despised and their faces were a little uncomfortable. King Qin teased: "Do you think this king has despised you!" Bird! Let me tell you, the Tiger Wolf Qin King of the Tiger Wolf Qin State is like this, and there are these Tiger Wolf Qin Army. You say, don't you? King Qin shouted loudly, the first few sentences were to the envoys of the five countries, and the last sentence was to ask all the soldiers.

"Tiger Wolf Qin Kingdom, Tiger Wolf Qin King, Tiger Wolf Qin Army, Long live, long live, long live!" Tens of thousands of Qin troops on both sides shouted in unison, and the momentum was soaring! The face of the envoys of the five countries turned pale with fright.

"General Meng Tian, how is the battle?" King Qin asked directly.

"So far, more than 312,000 people have been directly beheaded, 70,000 Xiongnu have killed each other to death, more than 120,000 Xiongnu soldiers have been captured, more than 100 Dadanyu's wives and children, and more than 150,000 family members of various leaders...... Meng Tian just finished reading. King Qin interjected and said, "What about Touman? Is it dead or alive? ”

Meng Tian's brain was in a cold sweat, and he was about to tell Touman about his escape in detail. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting: "Black flag scouts enter the city, all out of the way!" ”

Everyone looked at the gate of the city, and suddenly saw a horseman, holding a scout black flag, galloping forward.

When the scouts of the Qin State held the black flag and galloped their horses, no matter who could stop them, they could gallop their horses anywhere. If it is on the street, no matter what the prince is, he must step aside. So the scout rushed directly into the middle red carpet and came to the crowd without being stopped. Ran straight to Meng Tian's side before turning over and dismounting, Yan Han next to him quickly took the reins and handed it to the horse stables who came over, no one made a sound, they all looked straight at this black flag scout, the person who came was Black Mountain, he actually walked straight to Meng Tian, he was so tired that he was panting like a cow, his feet were unsteady, he took a package from his back, and a treasure knife, and handed it to Meng Tian with both hands. Seeing that Montenegro was so tired that he couldn't speak, Wang Ben asked, "Is it the head of Touman Da Shan Yu?" ”

Montenegro nodded vigorously! Meng Tian is overjoyed, this head has come too timely! took the package and the knife, handed it to Yan Han beside him, held the black mountain who was about to faint with one hand, and shouted: "Come on, help the Great Qin warriors to go down to rest." Immediately two military officers stepped forward and held Montenegro.

"Open it, let everyone see, the head of the invincible Touman Da Shan Yu!" King Qin opened his mouth and said.

Yan Han opened the package, handed the treasure knife and the cloak with the blood book written on it to Wang Ben, and opened the wooden box, and inside was a white-haired and bloodless human head, which was the head of the white-headed head Man Da Danyu more than ten days ago. Yan Han grabbed his snow-white hair, held it high for the King of Qin and the envoys of the Five Kingdoms to look at, and said to the military officials beside him: "Take a gun and raise a high point to spread the message to the three armies." ”

Wang Ben handed Mao Dun's blood book to King Qin again, and Qin had nothing to answer, only saying one word: "Read!" ”

Wang Ben read aloud: "The Huns are big and easy to do!" With a knife as an oath, in this life, I will only be the people of Daqin, and I will never commit Daqin, and I will pay tribute to 50,000 good horses every year......"

"Good! It is said that the head man is eloquent, the Huns are invincible, and the army of the tiger and wolf of my great Qin still gnawed him, and set up a monument in this tree to highlight the merits of the soldiers of the Qin army and deter the Huns. Let everyone in the world know that those who take the tiger and wolf Qin State as their enemy will be punished! King Qin said loudly, and the last sentence was to glare at the envoys of the five countries, and said word by word. The momentum forced the envoys of the five countries to take a few steps back. Where is this to deter the Huns, this is clearly to kill the tiger of the Huns to scare the monkeys of the Five Kingdoms!

Seven days later, Cloudsdale.

Baturu, Xin Sheng, and several ministers from Xianyang entered Cloud City on their front and back feet! At this time, it was already spring, everything was new and green, all the traces of war had been cleaned up a few days ago, and the air was still filled with a faint smell of blood mixed with the smell of spring earth.

On the same day, the king of Qin summoned the generals and ministers of the high lord to discuss the friendship after the war. First of all, Meng Tianxiang described in detail the overall plan of the entire campaign: "First, pretend to show weakness and withdraw from Yunzhong County; Second, skillfully use a cross pick to dig the road; The three pretended to be handsome and discordant, and Xin Sheng did not listen to orders; 3. After entering the enemy, he captured Da Dan to his wife and children, so that the Huns fought inwardly; Fourth, lure the enemy step by step to make the army of fierce slaves enter the city of clouds; Fifth, the Yongdao secret troops besieged the city overnight. ”

He also asked Xin Sheng and Montenegro to tell the detailed process of pursuing Da Shan Yu.

"Okay, my Daqin has such a handsome, all of them are united, and even a child's cold can be used, so why worry about the world not being unified. The decree was that all soldiers were rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and they were given a first-class knighthood with the military and civilian husbands, and the first-class crimes were punished with the military and prisoners. Inform the whole country, big feed for three days! King Qin was in a good mood and happily gave the order.

"Tell my king, many soldiers please kill 120,000 Huns. How to deal with it, please let me the king decide! Jun Sima Yu reported.

Shang Jun's military law is only based on beheading. Therefore, killing and surrendering for a hundred years is almost the norm. In the Battle of Changping, Bai Qikeng killed more than 400,000 Zhao soldiers because hundreds of thousands of troops fought hard for three years, and they all counted on the 400,000 heads for military merits! Afterwards, he was also scolded by the world, so that the six countries quickly allied to resist Qin.

"The Huns were brutal, and the world suffered for a long time. And if it's not my race, it's better to kill it, and never suffer in the future! Tingwei Li Si said coldly.

"Although the Huns are not of my race, they are human beings after all, and they are ominous to kill and surrender, which hurts the heavens and the peace! Wang Juan said.

"Killing the Huns is different from killing my Great Qin people? Never! "Although Montenegro also surrendered, it was behind enemy lines, and there was no way. Now he resolutely opposes it, and hurriedly said.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Montenegro! I was thinking in my heart, where is this little Zuo more talking.

"General Montenegro, what do you say?" King Qin asked expressionlessly.

In this war, 200,000 people transported grain and military supplies for thousands of miles, and in order to ensure the supply of front-line soldiers, more than 10,000 people died of exhaustion and disease. The casualties were no less than those of the officers and men of the three services. Today, General Meng Tian led us to break the Xiongnu and expand the land for more than 1,000 miles, and more people were needed to build cities and open up wasteland. I don't know how many people will die of exhaustion. We killed the sturdy labor we had, and then requisitioned more men from the country to work. Isn't it tantamount to killing one's own people? ”

"What Montenegro said makes sense, but how many soldiers are looking at these 120,000 heads, they can't make the soldiers chill." Wang Ben said.

"Actually, it's simple, please ask my king to order, taking one prisoner is equivalent to beheading one level! That's it! The national lieutenant said.

"The minister agrees with the words of the national captain." Meng Tian said, "This can get 120,000 strong laborers, and make the soldiers feel at ease!" ”

"No," Tingwei Li Si said, "Since the Shang Emperor changed the law, several generations of monarchs and ministers of the Qin State have respected the law, and only obeyed the law. If this law is abolished today, and tomorrow there will be people who demand the abolition of that law, isn't that the way of self-chaos? ”

The crowd was silent. Oh, yes! For more than 100 years, abiding by the law has been the recognized way of Qin to strengthen the country, and it is not easy to change it!

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you a question. Qin Fa said: Ox carts transport grain, travel 60 miles on the same day, and be cut if the deadline is lost. This time the northern expedition to the Xiongnu, ox carts to transport grain, how many miles a day? Montenegro asked.

"Tell the king, this time the army is so large that it needs to travel thousands of miles to transport grain, and it can travel seventy miles a day at first, only fifty miles after five days, and only forty miles a day after ten days. On average, he travels less than 50 miles a day," Jun Sima said.

"The average daily journey of more than 10,000 people is less than 50 miles, why? When Shang Jun enacted, the territory of Qin was small, and the farthest grain transportation was only a few hundred miles, which could be reached in ten days, and sixty miles a day, which was in line with human and animal power. Today, the Qin State extends from Bashu in the south to the Mobei grassland in the north, more than 4,000 miles from north to south. The grain transportation from Neishi County to here is 2,000 miles. Therefore, the people, cattle and horses have been exhausted and died, and there are countless people on the side of the road, and the task of transporting grain is even more difficult to complete. Is it true that 200,000 people should be beheaded according to the law? Montenegro said.

"General Montenegro's words are true, and I know very well that if the Qin Law requires, 200,000 people will probably die of exhaustion. Therefore, the special order is to carry out the heavy camp, do what you can, and don't make the people too tired to death! Meng Tian is willing to lead the crime of breaking the law," Meng Tian said.

King Qin didn't know this kind of detail at all, and when he heard this, he sighed and said, "This is my fault." Tired people are treated the same as war death, and tired prisoners are compensated as appropriate! Immediately ordered all the judicial officials to carefully examine the laws, and if there was any inopportune situation, the prime minister and the court lieutenant led everyone to discuss it, and whether it should be changed or had to be changed. ”

"Obey the king's commands!" Wang Juan and Li Si replied!

"According to your words, 120,000 fierce slave captives are equivalent to beheading. When is it placed? King Qin asked Montenegro.

"The minister thought that if these captives were allowed to work as coolies, they would see no hope of coming out, and they would be in chaos! In the grassland, there are a large number of Xiongnu families in the grassland tribes. You can inform them that they can let the merchant bring the book back, and if there is a family member to vote, he will be converted into a civil status and given a farmhouse. Those who have no family, behave well, after three years, they are allowed to marry and settle in the north! In this way, there will be a large number of people and their families to vote, this long and the other disappear, more than ten years later, millions of Huns are all Qin people, thousands of miles of grassland are Qin counties and counties, and there is no trouble in the north of China. Montenegro said.

"Your Majesty, this strategy is feasible, and it is similar to Qin Xiaogong's transformation of Rong Di and Qin Zhaoxiang's Wang Huayiqu!" Prime Minister Wang Juan said.

"The ministers seconded it!" More ministers agree!

"Your Majesty, there are three urgent tasks, one is how to set up counties and counties to govern the new country. 2. Rewards for meritorious soldiers. 3. The newly captured 150,000 Hun women and children will arrive in another 20 days to be resettled. Meng Tian said.

"The affairs of the county are handled by the Prime Minister's Office quickly, and the principle is how many counties there are people! If you have merit, you will be rewarded with the soil, below the doctor, Meng Tian will decide, below the left chief, below the national captain, and above will report to me. Xiongnu women and children, men were treated as prisoners of war when they were adults, and those over the age of 12 were handed over to Zhao Gao to serve as internal servants. A woman may be betrothed to a single meritorious soldier. The king of Qin arranged all the major post-war events in one go, and ordered: "The army will rest on the spot for a month, and Meng Tian will guard the four northern counties." Wang Ben and Xin Sheng handed over the veteran Wang Jian to the commander and planned to destroy Zhao. ”
