"Aru, in your opinion, how do we defend against the enemy?"

"Ah, me?" Aru listened to Shan Yu's question, and suddenly sweated like rain.

When he heard that the commander of the Qin soldiers was Fang Yuanheng, he had long lost his will to fight, and where did he think about how to fight Fang Yuanheng.

After a period of hesitation, he didn't say a reason after all, just stood in place with a red face.

Xiao Jinxing was not embarrassed by him, he knew that everyone in this hall had the same mentality as Alu, so he said in a low voice:

"At present, Commander Monanhu, Captain Qiuzi, Commander Minglu, and General Lu Chang lead 40,000 troops to garrison Xiaoguan.

Captain Zhezhe, Captain Xiyan Wanhai, and generals Han Yun and Wen Bo led 40,000 troops to garrison the front line of Qingshui County, Lingzhou.

And our army has four captains, Alu, Ahuanu, Bemur, and Bortu.

Do you know why I chose you to fight with me in this Qinlan County?

Because in my opinion, our group of men and horses is the most capable of fighting among the three armies.

The generals I have chosen are the most effective of all.

That's why I let the four of you lead the army to attack Lingzhou and break Qin Lan.

At present, Shuofang County in the north and Hexi County in the east do not have enough military strength to attack and fight us, so the only enemy in front of us is Fang Yuanheng's army.

You think that we have acquired enough land and population, so there is no need to fight Fang Yuanheng.

Do you think Fang Yuanheng is a god of war who has won all battles, and thinks that we will not be able to defeat a powerful opponent?

You are wrong!

Do you know why we attacked Qin this time, not only did we break through the Xiao Pass, Sumeru, and Qin Lan Passes, which had not been breached for more than 500 years, but also captured seven counties of Lingzhou and more than ten counties of Qin Lan in less than a month.

Are we the strongest in these 500 years? Is it because I and you are more resourceful than all the commanders of the past five hundred years? Is it that the chief general and the soldiers of the Qin State are faint and weak?

No, it's not! ”

Xiao Jinxing suddenly stood up, waved his big hand, and said loudly: "Our combat strength is not even as good as ten years ago, and if it weren't for the Qin people to join, we would only have less than 80,000 horses." You and I are nowhere near as heroic as our forefathers. And the generals of the Qin State who fought with us were the world-famous Fang Mingxin, Zhao Zhihai, and Fang Yuanheng.

But, so what!

We have captured the huge territory of the Qin State for the first time in history, why is that? ”

Xiao Jinxing stopped talking and looked at the silent Rong generals in the hall.

After a long time, he shouted: "It's the hearts of the people, it's the people of the Qin State who don't want it, but the hearts of the people we want!"

Why did General Lu Chang and General Han Yun vote for us, is it because of the deep hatred they carry? No! It is the Qin people who treat them like mustard, and we treat them like brothers.

If it were you, would you rather fight for your brother or would you fight for those who despise you?

When we left Xiao Guan, the people of Xiao Guan were afraid that the Qin soldiers would come again and harm their words and eyes, you have all seen them, why is this? The Qin soldiers have their relatives and friends, but we are only enemies who fought with them not long ago, but the people are afraid of the Qin soldiers like tigers, why is this?

Because the Qin people regard them as pawns, as bait that can be discarded at any time, and as dead people in fallen places to be guarded, while we give them food, give them stability, and give them equal treatment.

After leaving the customs, why did we only send a thousand people to guard each city we captured, but these days they were all peaceful, could it be that tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people in each city did not know that there were only a thousand enemies in this city, and they did not know how to resist?

No! It was we who killed the hereditary aristocracy who sucked the people's fat and gave the land to the poor people.

That is why I have commanded you not to kill a single of the people.

You have already seen whether the Qin people, who were given the land and grain, were closer to us than the nobles who were supposed to be compatriots.

Have you seen what the ragged people were shouting when we were killing the local nobles?

They are shouting long live, long live to the Rong people they once feared, hated, sneered, and wanted to kill them all!

Although Zhao Zhihai and Fang Yuanheng are all famous generals in this world, although the soldiers they have are the most elite soldiers in the world, they do not have the most important thing in the world, people's hearts!

You can see, there will be more and more of our men and horses, and there will be fewer and fewer soldiers in the Qin State, and one day, everyone in the whole world will recognize me as Daxia Zhengshuo, and the Ahuanu people, the Alu people, the Zhezhe people, the Great Qin people, the Shu people, the Chu people, and the Qi people will all become brothers who live together under the blessing of an immortal heaven.

From then on, there were no more terrible lesions, no more attacks from foreign beasts, no more plagues, no more miasma, and no more mountains that hindered our reproduction.

Today, we are drinking and singing in the palace of the middle palace of the Qin State, and tomorrow we will drink and sing in the palace of the left watch, the right watch, and the palace of the Duke of Qin, so that the places covered by the immortal sky will all flutter with golden burning red yang flags! ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Jinxing stopped speaking again and looked at the Rong generals in the hall who were thoughtful, but their eyes were full of excitement, joy, incomprehension, contradictions, and hesitation.

Then, he asked softly, "Now, are you still afraid of Fang Yuanheng?" ”

After saying that, Xiao Jinxing sat down slowly, his face still sinking like water.

After a silence like the smell of a falling needle, countless voices in the hall shouted incessantly, almost simultaneously: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid", "Ulla! Ulla! Ulla! ”

This night, in the Wenhua Hall of the Zhao family in Suibei City, carnival all night.

After being captured by the Rong people for more than ten days, the people of both Lingzhou and Qinlan counties gradually got used to it after the initial panic.

The alien soldiers who had breached the city had left the day after the city was breached, leaving less than a thousand soldiers in tow, half of whom were guarding the Qin soldiers and half of them were looking for the hereditary nobles all over the city.

In the following days, notices posted by the Rong people would appear at the city gates and downtown areas, and those hereditary nobles would be beheaded outside the city at three o'clock in the afternoon.

The people were pleasantly surprised to find that almost all of the nobles beheaded by these Rong people were people with monstrous power and evil deeds in the county, although there were a very few nobles who did not belong to the most heinous crimes, but where did the people who knew the details dare to help them at this time.

The vast majority of the people would only applaud when they saw that they were nobles.

Every time they were beheaded, those Qin soldiers and prisoners would also participate in watching. Moreover, in the first two days, many of the noble children in their army were beheaded by the soldiers.

Before they knew it, both the common people and the captives found that the days of being ruled by foreign races did not seem to be so painful, and the nobles and their vassals who were always rampant in the countryside and bullied the market had disappeared without a trace in just a few days.

The inky banner at the head of the city had long since been replaced by a yellow banner that was not very good-looking, and the flag was embroidered with a red sun, and a flame was burning on the red sun.

One day, in front of a pavilion outside the county seat, two red-haired Rong people followed behind a Mr. Qin Ren. They called the pavilion chief and asked him to gather all the people and announce in public that the land of the hereditary nobles would be distributed to the people and villagers of the pavilion.

These people didn't know which of their ancestors had owned real estate, and when they got the proclamation in their hands and watched the two soldiers leave, they were still at a loss.

This kind of thing happens countless times a day in all the inhabited places in the counties occupied by the Rong people.

About two weeks after the Rong people captured the county seat, those Qin prisoners were released home one after another.

In the past few days, notices have been posted in all county towns, and one notice reads that the tax rate for grain collected in previous dynasties has been changed from the ancestral system of 10 taxes to 30 taxes.

No one cares who they pay taxes, but everyone cares if their family's food stocks will increase in the future.

As a result, the people of the Qin State in the occupied areas based on agriculture have a good impression of these Rong people in their hearts.

And the other notice is written what the mandate of heaven, Great Xia, reverse Zhou or something, obscure. But the reader next to the list will translate the content of the list and tell the onlookers that the content of this list is that the Rong people are going to recruit soldiers.

For the poor, serving as a soldier not only offsets the conscription, but also provides money and food. But after all, it was the Rong people who recruited troops, and the Qin people still had some psychological resistance, so there were not many people who applied on the spot.

But in the following days, many people around the counties came to the places where these notices were posted, secretly gathered around to look at them carefully, and then quietly left after reading them.

At the same time, the county government offices resumed their operations.

The bitter lord who complained found that the guards at the gate of the yamen had been replaced by the Rong people and the Qin people. The merchants on the street found that the soldiers patrolling the street had also changed from Rong people to Qin people. Among the pavilions outside the city, the original pavilion chiefs are still those pavilion chiefs.

In addition to the war that happened not long ago, in addition to the aristocratic families that disappeared around, except for the county commanders, county lieutenants, county officials and other officials who were replaced by those common officials who used to work in the county government, except for those Qin soldiers who wore battle clothes from the right to the left. Everything else seems to have not changed, even the uniforms worn by the sergeants are still black as before.

But what everyone didn't know was that most of the beheadings of the nobles who had been robbed of their homes were taken away, because they were to be rewarded to the Guanwai tribes who had made meritorious contributions to the war.

Only a small half of the land of the nobles was given to the commoners, because more than half had to wait for the arrival of the people of the Rong tribe to settle down.

But what does this have to do with the people who have been allocated land and property, even if they know about it, they will still be grateful to the Rong people.

There are also some nobles who have a good reputation among the people, and the Rong people just confiscated all their property and land and left them to fend for themselves.

It is rumored that Rong Di is in trouble in China, all of them are eating people and gnawing bones, and the land is thousands of miles away, but the current situation is just the opposite, these Rong people seem to be harmless compared with the Qin nobles, not only harmless, but also able to afford the word benefit to the people.

At the very least, they divided the land and property among the people, let the children of the common people sit in the government office, and reduced the grain tax for everyone.

It seems that the Great Xia Kingdom is indeed better than the Great Qin Kingdom.

Once this idea was formed in their minds, the common people in the occupied areas began to discuss in restaurants, teahouses, and fields, and gradually, the Daqin, who had disappeared in his mind for less than a month, became blurred.
