Chapter 426: General
"Is this Xianyang Palace?"
Yan Yanjun opened his eyes wide, looking at the majestic palace under Ganquan Mountain, the wind and snow were at the beginning, the whole palace seemed to be dyed with a layer of silver paint, the black tiles and yellow walls were accumulated white snow, and on the road leading to the palace gate, there were hundreds of palace people holding brooms to sweep the snow.
Their best house in Yan Yanrong was like a dilapidated bungalow compared to this tall palace, and the "Xianyang City" that he had just passed by, with tens of thousands of residents and a lively city, was also the most prosperous city he had ever seen in his life.
"The city we just passed through is not Xianyang, it's just an ordinary small county town, and in Daqin, there are hundreds of such counties."
Hearing Yan Yanjun's emotion, Heifu asked the translator to tell him: "It's not Xianyang Palace in front of you, but Lin Guang Palace, just one of the hundreds of palaces of His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
Qin starts from Xianyang, west to Yong, a total of 130 out of the palace, and within 200 miles next to Xianyang, there are more than 70 palaces in the palace, this is not counting the palace in the eastern part of the country, and because of the conquest of the Xiongnu and temporarily suspended the construction of the Weinan "letter palace" and "pole temple" and other major projects.
Yan Yan Jun was even more shocked, Yan Yan sat on the flower horse pond salt, domesticated tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, he claimed to be the wealthier monarch outside the Sai, but after following Heifu all the way into the fortress and entering the heart of the Qin Dynasty, he really felt what it means to be rich and strong......
Heifu pointed to Mingjun standing upright, depressed as Ji Que connected with the sky, and asked the translator to scare Yan Yanjun: "When Your Majesty sweeps away the Huns, and beheads the Huns, it will be hung on this que!" ”
Yan Yanjun blurted out: "It is Shan Yu's luck to be hung here!" ”
Hearing this, Heifu couldn't help but laugh.
"Yan Yanjun is really good at talking, Your Majesty will definitely like you!"
After the palace gate is opened, you can see a dazzling array of columns and pavilions surrounded by hot springs.
Every palace maid here is prettier than his wife, every attendant is better dressed than the tribal monarchs under him, and the guards who live under the palace are all dressed in gorgeous armor and holding sharp blades, which makes people's spines cold.
The Governor of the Northland told him that all the tribes and castles outside the Fortress together were less than one-tenth of the emperor's wealth. He didn't believe it at first, but now he knows it's true. If you ask him what he feels in his heart, it is probably "The light of rotten grass, how dare you compete with the sun and the moon!" ”
The person leading the way in front of him was startled when he saw Yan Yanjun, and said with a smile: "This Rong only saw a line of palaces, if you really go to Xianyang, see the largest city in the world, witness the Wanche palace, and see the twelve golden people, I am afraid that I will be scared to death!" ”
Heifu nodded, in this era, it is difficult for a person from a foreign land to walk into the pass, it is difficult not to be shocked, right? One of the reasons why Qin Shi Huang built a large number of buildings was to show his majesty, which did have some effect.
It is now the beginning of the twenty-ninth year of Qin Shi Huang, and Heifu originally wanted to accompany his wife at home to give birth, but the emperor issued an edict that he had to take Yan Yanjun to Lin Guang Palace to meet Qin Shi Huang.
Because of Heifu, compared with the original history, Qin built the straight road several years in advance, and the starting point of the straight road is this Yunyang County, which can go straight to Shangjun and Yunzhong, and the beacons are connected along the way. Qin Shi Huang also used this palace as a headquarters to prepare for the conquest of the Xiongnu, and ordered the border generals to discuss the matter of sending troops next year.
Therefore, outside the palace, Heifu met many acquaintances who were waiting for the emperor to summon him: the old and undecrepit Shangjun Shouqiang (lěi), the white-headed Longxi Lieutenant Li Xin, the first to discover Heifu's arrival, Feng Zao, the first to discover Heifu's arrival, and the new lieutenant, the young and vigorous Wang Li.
Heifu immediately stepped forward, according to the official title, and greeted all the guards and generals, he knew in his heart that his status was equal to Feng Zheng, but he was ranked behind Qiang and Li.
Wang Jian said goodbye to the old, Mengwu was sick, Wang Bendong was in Qidi, and Qiang Qi became the highest ranking among the generals in Guanxi. He has a straightforward personality and says to Heifu with a big grin:
"The old man asked Yang Xiong before he knew that during the battle to destroy Wei, you were in our army, and I never thought that the Xiaotun chief six years ago is now the captain of the dignified Beidi County!"
Shangjun is the main direction of the Qin army to the north, with the qualifications of Qiang, it must be the nominal general who will attack the Xiongnu next year, Heifu did not dare to slack off, and arched his hand:
"Back then, I went out of the Liang with the general, slightly moved to the east of Weidi, served as a pawn when attacking Chen Liu, and the general's arrangement of troops and camping in the camp benefited Heifu a lot! The general is the enlightened master of the black man who learns to fight! ”
A high hat was put on, but Qiang Yan didn't answer it, and said with a smile: "Don't lift me up, isn't it the old general Wang Jian who taught you to march and fight?" I have heard people say that when you go out to fight, you will say that 'if the army has no baggage, it will die', and when you go to Huamachi, you will make everyone harden the village, and you will never rush to attack, but lure the Huns to move first. The old man summed it up, isn't this General Wang Qian's way of playing with Eridium as a baht? ”
After saying that, he glared at Wang Li, the youngest and lowest-ranking lieutenant among the generals: "My son, you are the first lieutenant, and you will soon lead 10,000 troops, and learn some, be less frizzy, and learn more about your father's ability to use soldiers in a stable manner, this is the way to win!" ”
Wang Li was a little embarrassed, but he only promised, but in his eyes, he was a little unconvinced.
Seeing this, Heifu opened the topic and said: "Heifu doesn't know any advanced methods of using soldiers, he just draws a scoop according to the gourd, which is far worse than the generational transmission of the Jiangmen family." For example, Zihua, he is worthy of being the grandson of the old general, not only familiar with the art of war, but also skilled in bows and horses. ”
"Don't take him with you because he's my grandboy and don't let him get into danger."
Qiang praised Li Xinlai again: "My Qiang clan is honored to die on the battlefield, and it is a shame to be sick on the bed, and Qiang Huang is also my grandson, so Li Junwei took him to gallop 800 miles and go deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu!" ”
Heifu also officially thanked Li Xin, who had helped him a lot: "Soldiers, with the right combination, with a strange victory, thanks to General Li attacked the rear of the Huns, the Huns' big household, the Marquis of Gudu, after hearing about it, gave up Huamachi and retreated. ”
Li Xin lost the impulse of the past, Fang Cai had been listening quietly, and only when he heard the words did he say humbly: "The captain of the Beidi County is facing the main force of the Huns, and Li Xin is just going to kill and plunder the women and children left behind in the rear, how dare he speak bravely?" ”
The group blew each other in this business, but at this time, Heifu saw that the Yan Yanjun he brought was talking in a whisper with a Di Ren wearing a deer antler helmet and a fur fur beard behind the Shangjun Lieutenant Feng Zheng, and said, "This is?" ”
"He's Lin Hujun."
Feng Zai finally had a chance to talk, and said with a smile: "Beidi County seized Huamachi, beheaded thousands of Xiongnu captives, Longxi County sent surprise troops, crossed 800 miles of land, went deep into the rear of the Xiongnu, trampled on its tribes, burned its herds, and Shangjun was not idle. On the orders of His Majesty and the county guard, I sent tens of thousands of troops, crossed the Great Wall, entered Linhu, helped Linhu Jun to destroy the deployment of unwilling to surrender to Qin, opened up 500 miles, and marched northward to quicksand, and confronted the Xiongnu Shan Yu Wanqi, so that he could not aid Helan in the south. ”
The implication is that if it weren't for Shangjun sending troops to threaten the Xiongnu Shan Yuting and contain the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Xiongnu, the operations in Beidi and Longxi would not have been so smooth.
In his words, there is a sense of competition, ten years ago, Li Xin's temper will definitely choke back, but now he just smiled, noncommittal, and the same is true for Heifu, first thanked Feng Zheng for reinforcing the 1,000 crossbowmen in the north, and said without humility or arrogance:
"Qin and the Xiongnu fight, like humans and beasts fighting, Beidi, Longxi, Daibei, Shangjun are like hands and feet, if you want to win, you naturally have to echo hands and feet, and help each other."
Qiang Qi stroked his beard on the side, watching the young people fighting openly and secretly, and couldn't help but sigh that the deceased was like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night.
In his heart, he also secretly compared these prime-aged generals one by one.
Li Xin has experienced ups and downs, and he already has the demeanor of a general, and the cavalry in this battle is the key, and he will be able to shine.
Although Heifu is a rising star, he has climbed up step by step from the grassroots, and he has a calmness far beyond his age, which is very reassuring. As a southerner, he is also very well commanded to fight in the north, and he can often surprise people.
On the contrary, Feng Zheng and Wang Li are both behind the generals, and they must have a strategy in the art of war, but they are not necessarily rich in actual combat experience, and they have a bit of competitiveness.
"The husband is a civil and military officer, a general of the army, a strong and soft person, and a soldier."
Qiang Qi remembered what Wang Jian often said to himself, and he gradually understood the meaning after he got old.
At present, the only ones who can do this are Li Xin, Heifu, and Meng Tian, who was not present, and the three generals! Feng Zheng and Wang Li are still a little immature......
At this time, the CRRC Mansion ordered Zhao Gao to walk out of the palace gate and saluted everyone: "Gentlemen, please follow Gao into the hall and meet Your Majesty!" Yan Yan and Lin Hu Erjun will wait a while! ”
The generals glanced at each other, still entering in order according to their titles, they knew very well that this was not only to discuss military strategy, but also to decide, the direction and priority of the generals to send troops next year!
After Heifu entered the palace, he was surprised to find that in addition to Qin Shi Huang, there was also a young gentleman sitting in the hall, about 20 years old, with a face like a crown of jade, and a crown in gorgeous clothes.
It is the eldest son of Qin Shi Huang, the son Fusu that Heifu has seen.
This is a rare scene, Qin Shi Huang summoned his subordinates to discuss government affairs, and he would never let his concubines and sons observe!
"The eldest son has been crowned, and he should be the governor."
Qin Shi Huang explained the reason: "Let him listen to the generals' strategies for using troops, it is not impossible!" ”
