Another two days passed, the loot and prisoners on the left and right had been counted, and the armies and caravans that followed up with the aftermath had also arrived one after another, and a large number of Xiongnu captives were driven to bury the corpses, and then went to the nearby digging and logging to prepare for the construction of the city.

According to the suggestion of the Marquis of Qinghe, with Dahu as the center, northwest of Hetao, and east of Yinshan Mountain, it will be divided into a new county, called Shuofang County, with eight counties under its jurisdiction, and set up counties to build cities to completely incorporate this area into the power map of Great Qin, and it can also completely divide the Xiongnu and the Western Regions.

"Qinghe Hou really looks like a torch hole through the sky, this area is rich in water and grass and fertile land, if it is reclaimed enough to have 100,000 hectares of grain fields, and then move tens of thousands of prisoners and soldiers to guard here in the spring of next year, after three or five years, this place will inevitably become a huge granary, which can continuously supply the Yanmen counties in the north of Jiuyuan, and completely change the pattern of the northwest!"

Riding on a horse, looking at the busy captives and the Great Qin soldiers who kept scolding and driving away, Li Xin couldn't help but admire.

The first heavy snow of autumn came very quickly, but the snow on the ground had already begun to melt, and it was necessary to build the city while the soil was still soft, otherwise the land here would be frozen as hard as steel and could not be dug by a hoe in the real winter.

"This place is covered with a dense network of rivers, the water source is inexhaustible, and the fish and shrimp in this big lake are fat, it is indeed like a pearl and jade, Qinghe Hou is far away from Xianyang thousands of miles away, it is like seeing it with his own eyes, people have to admire, this victory returns, must prepare a generous gift to visit and thank you!"

Jiang Hu rode his horse and Li Xin walked side by side, looking at the huge lake sparkling in front of him, and he was also emotional.

After inspecting several of the most prosperous Xiongnu gathering places around the Great Lake with hundreds of guards, Li Xin and Jiang Hu couldn't help but turn their heads at the same time to look at the rolling Yin Mountains in the distance after watching the officials and a large number of merchants who had taken care of the aftermath and a large number of merchants begin to drive cattle and horse wagons to transport woolen goods.

"Life and death are fateful, there has never been a foolish person in the field of fighting, the British lieutenant has made great contributions, I heard that the lady in his family is pregnant, if he gives birth to an heir, then I will wait for a good student to take care of the arrangement, not to mention that according to military merits, the British lieutenant will not be able to run for a long time this time, and the family will inevitably receive a large number of land and slave rewards, these rewards are enough for a family of wives and children to live without worry......" Li Xin said next to him.

"Alas, what Di Daohou said is, let's go, the war is over here, and we should go back to the camp to give an account to General Meng!" Jiang Hu sighed and turned his horse's head, and a group of people headed towards the army of horsemen who were ready to go.

"I wonder what happened to Wang Li's attack on Donghu?" As he walked, Li Xin's face was slightly stunned and asked.

"Donghu is weak at the moment, Gu Hu knows that the gathering place to which the king of Donghu belongs is only 350,000 people, much worse than this Xiongnu, General Wang Li has been taught by the general and the Marquis of Tongwu since he was a child, not only strong in martial arts but also proficient in the art of war, this time to exterminate Donghu will be smooth sailing...... Jiang Hu said with his horse next to him.

"After this war, there will be no more war in the northwest for decades, and after going back this time, it is time to say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown to recuperate!" Li Xin shook his head and sighed.

"Di Daohou is in the prime of life, why should he be so decadent, although Donghu and Xiongnu were destroyed, but the northwest still has a lot to do......" Jiang Hu said this, suddenly came to his senses and stopped talking.

"Why did General Jiang only say half of what he said, and what else could be done in this bitter cold land in the northwest?" Li Xin couldn't help but ask.

"The matter...... It's too early to tell! Jiang Hu looked at him left and right.

"Why should the Marquis of Yinshan be like this, in order to cooperate with you to wipe out the Huns here, a certain person has suffered in vain for more than a month and has almost not achieved an inch, and his subordinate soldiers have cursed me in private every day, I have endured such a big shame, and the virtuous brother still wants to hide it from me, okay, if you don't say it, forget it......"

Li Xin pretended to be angry, and rode his horse and ran in the direction of his military camp with a group of guards.

"Hey, Di Daohou Mo wants to turn his face!" Jiang Hu had no choice but to hurry up and grab Li Xin's horse reins to apologize: "It's not that Amber doesn't say it, but this matter Qinghe Hou told me not to spread the word, but Brother Li is not an outsider, so I will tell you quietly, but please keep it secret, you come over with your ears ......"

Jiang Hu dispersed the guards around him, and then rode close to Li Xin on his horse and muttered for a while.

"Really?" Li Xin's face was shocked.

"When I left Xianyang this time, I went to visit the Marquis of Qinghe, and the Marquis of Qinghe said so, and told me not to spread it, the Marquis of Qinghe is a disciple of the Immortal Family, how can he talk nonsense, General Li must not spread this matter after he knows about it, otherwise this credit will definitely not fall on my head in the future!" Jiang Hu reminded in a low voice.

"Brother Xian, don't worry, I won't say it!" Li Xin nodded repeatedly.

"That's good, after returning to Xianyang this time, I will go to visit the Marquis of Qinghe with gifts, with his help, then the land of the Western Regions will be the credit of the two of us, and Wang Li can only stay in the northwest camp to drink the northwest wind......"

"Haha, good, good, in the future, Xin and Brother Xian will naturally share this groundbreaking work!" Li Xin couldn't help but laugh heartily, and Fang Cai's depression was instantly swept away.

"By the way, a certain Wen Di Daohou was the one a few months ago...... That one has a hidden disease and has sought medical treatment everywhere in Xianyang, but you have been in the camp for the past two days and have been jubilant with several Hun women night and night, and it seems that you still can't feel it, I don't know which doctor's miracle medicine you have taken? The two rode forward, and Jiang Hu couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Hehe, I promised not to say it, but Brother Xian is not an outsider, you come over with your ears......" Li Xin also pretended to beckon mysteriously.

Jiang Hu also hurried up, the two muttered a few words, and Jiang Hu's face instantly showed a smile of surprise and surprise, "Is this true?" ”

"It's true, I'm afraid that only Qinghehou has such a panacea in the whole world, why don't you believe it?" Li Xin whispered.

"Xinxin, since it is from the Marquis of Qinghe, it must be a miracle medicine, it seems that I have to add another generous gift when I go back this time!"

"Quack, that's, a certain has also prepared a generous gift!" Li Xin laughed like an old duck in a low voice.

Looking at the lewd expressions on their faces of the two generals who were muttering and laughing together, all the guards were inexplicable, I don't know if the two generals ate chicken shit, and they were a little inexplicably excited.

Li Xin and Jiang Hu said as they walked, and soon came to the front of their respective armies, at this time, the 20,000 horsemen waiting in line after more than a month of fighting have only left more than 16,000 people in front of them, and most of the more than 3,000 soldiers lost were sacrificed in the battle with the Huns entrenched here, and there are hundreds who followed Yingbu and never returned, and now there is no news of them coming back, and life and death are unknown.

The loss of more than 3,000 people seems to be small, but it is also the most tragic sacrifice among the two expeditions in the Spring and Autumn Period.

But more than 3,000 soldiers also sacrificed value for money, this battle killed a total of nearly 20,000 Xiongnu adult men, the rest took advantage of the wind and snow to escape there are three or four thousand, the rest and women, children, old and young were captured, the captives reached 50,000 people, the number of cattle, sheep and horses captured, only a lot more than the spring battle of Henan, dried beef and mutton and leather grain and grass piled up into a mountain, all of which were prepared by this Xiongnu for several months to spend the winter, but now they are all returned to Daqin.

Each soldier's two horses were loaded with the spoils of war, except for some fine leather goods were gold, silver and jewelry, basically everyone had a catch, these looted things will not be recorded in the spoils of this army, but even if everyone is stuffed with things, but what can be taken away is still less than one-tenth, most of them are counted and resold by the officials to the caravan that comes with them, and the caravan is paid with the redemption ticket, when the official sends the redemption ticket to Xianyang to Shaofu, and Shaofu then takes the redemption ticket to Huaxia Qian Zhuang to withdraw money, This money became the emperor's private property.

All the war seizures belonged to the emperor, land, materials, including population.

These captures were then rewarded by the emperor to the soldiers who had made military achievements.

"Get out, go back to the camp!"

Li Xin rode his horse and stood in front of his army, looking at all the soldiers carrying trophies full of trophies, looking at these subordinates who had been fighting for more than a month with scattered leather armor but murderous spirit, Li Xin raised his spear and roared.

"Woo~Woo~Woo~~"

The continuous low horn sounded, and in the cold and cold wind after the snow melted, the black Great Qin Dragon Banner hunting and hunting tricks rolled over, and thousands of horsemen slowly set off, crushing the bloody and muddy cold cold and muddy heading southeast, and soon pulled into a long procession, and the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the ground like muffled thunder spread dozens of miles away.

Jiang Hu glanced back at the jagged and towering Yin Mountain veins again, couldn't help but sigh, raised the spear in his hand and shouted: "Go, return to the camp!" ”

"Woo~Woo~Woo~~"

The sound of a low whimpering horn reverberated around the lake, and the Hun captives who were busy digging and logging under the drive of the soldiers and the prison army looked up one by one with sad faces or anger or resentment or horror, looking at the two Great Qin cavalry slowly leaving, and seemed to let out a long breath in unison.

These 20,000 iron horsemen are like two fierce beasts with surging blood and blood dripping between their sharp claws, as long as they are slightly dissatisfied and resistant, they will be killed on the spot in an instant.

At present, although the cattle, sheep, horses, food, and money have all been taken away, with the departure of these two beasts, the breath of death has also begun to dissipate, as long as the city is built honestly, at least life can be saved.
