The emperor didn't even enter the city of Mayi, but only appeased the attached generals and wealthy families outside the city, and accepted the money and grain they took out to pay tribute, and also selected more than 100 children of powerful families in the city to join the army, so that they joined the Qin army.

For the 10,000 Ma Yi troops who had just been annexed, Luo Cheng also symbolically selected more than 1,000 sturdy and brave veterans to join the army, and the rest were given a sum of money and grain as severance pay, so that they could go home to give land and return to farming.

Wang Wu was awarded by the emperor as the general of Ningyuan under the Zhengwupin, and was also awarded the post of captain of the soldiers of Mayi County, and named him the founding viscount of Shanyang County.

The title of reward is not high, but Wang Wu is still quite satisfied, after all, before Liu Wuzhou's rebellion, he was just a regimental officer, and now although he has 10,000 people, they are all rabble, he still has some self-knowledge, if he does not fall, I am afraid that Mayi City will not last for half a month, and when the city is broken, his head will fall to the ground, and the wife of the family will be implicated.

Now that he has landed safely and successfully returned to Qin, he can still get a real seal to open the country, which is very satisfying.

"Cheng bites gold."

"The minister is here!" Cheng Yanjin, who had just arrived from Lou Fu Pass, stepped forward to listen to the order.

The emperor ordered Cheng Yanjin to lead an army of 20,000 to rush to the Great Wall to guard the pass, to prevent Guo Zihe of Yulin County and Tang Dong from surrendering to Wang Xiaoji, the lord of the city, to seize and reinforce Jieli.

"Xue Wanche."

"I order you to lead an army of 24,000 people to immediately kill Hu Pass on the North Great Wall, reinforce Luo Daen and Gao Manzheng, and firmly hold the Tiger Pass, and never let the Turks ride through the pass."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, there are ministers, and a Turkic wolf cub will not want to escape."

Xue Wanche's chest slammed into the sky.

Luo Cheng nodded with satisfaction, Cheng Yanjin and Xue Wanche are both fierce generals who are extremely capable of fighting, each of them can lead 50,000 horses, and now they only have 20,000 people in the unified army, and they are guarding the pass, so there is no problem.

Ma Yi Chengluo was given to the general Pei Renji, who led an army to garrison it, and was responsible for clearing Liu Wuzhou's troops such as the nearby town of Sanggan, and at the same time organizing the supply of grain and grass to the emperor's main force that was about to go north to Yunzhong.

"Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Gong, order the two of you to lead an army from your headquarters, and immediately go north as the vanguard and pull out the white wolf plug!"

The army barely stopped under the city of Mayi, and after a short rest, they set off on the emperor's orders.

Qin Junqiu did not commit any crimes, and the people praised him as the king of benevolence and righteousness.

On the same day, the emperor also moved to Shenwu City, a hundred miles to the north.

It was dusk that day.

The emperor, escorted by the guards, arrived at Shenmu Castle.

In Shenwu City, the warrior Tong led the powerful families in the city and the 2,000 people who stayed behind to welcome the emperor.

"Your Majesty, after the defeat and killing of the Jie Society, about 30,000 Turkic troops were defeated and retreated into the clouds. Jieli was furious, killed dozens of defeated generals in a row, and then re-elected the main general and sent troops south. However, the new Turkic general was very cautious, and the ministers deployed some suspicious soldiers and bluffed, which made the Turks think that Luo Daen and Gao Manzheng's soldiers and horses were still here, so the Turks are now stationed in the White Wolf Fortress, wanting to explore the reality of my Shenwu City first. ”

"Fortunately, Your Majesty arrived in time, otherwise my empty city plan would not be able to continue."

"Hahaha, I can't imagine that you not only have a tongue of flowers, but you are also so bold and careful, you can use an empty city, but the frightened Turkic army does not dare to go south for several days."

"Wu Shi Tong, you have made another great achievement, last time you performed very well in the Tang camp, and now you have made this great achievement, I want to reward you heavily, in addition to the previous Ying County, then I will seal you as the founding marquis of Ying County, and give you a total of 800 true seals before the pass."

"Minister, Emperor Xie Wu is rewarded."

The warrior was very excited and hurriedly thanked him.

The emperor and the guards entered the city, and the army was stationed outside the city.

The red sun is falling in the west.

Outside the city, smoke rises.

The ability of the warriors to do things is still very strong, and he organized the powerful clans in the city to send people and food, and prepared a lot of food and vegetables for the army.

The emperor's guards quickly took over the city defenses and surveyed the entire city, and the guards were heavily guarded in the mansion.

This mansion used to be a horse merchant's house, and it was very luxurious and even a little out of specification, but the border gate has never been very strict.

The pro-guard Zhonglang will come forward with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Ying Hou is very good at coming to things, and there are actually a lot of beauties prepared in this house. Your Majesty's military has worked hard, but you can relax tonight. ”

Luo Cheng listened, but he was not very happy.

"It's wartime now, and it's a frontier again, so it's not appropriate to fix all this."

"Your Majesty, the minister has carefully inquired about Ying Hou, these women are reliable, and there will be no danger, Your Majesty can enjoy it with confidence."

Luo Cheng waved his hand, "When is it, the decisive battle is imminent, how can you be in this mood, let the warrior Tong take people away." Then you tell him to have more energy to focus on the right paths and not on these places. ”

Over there, the samurai was standing outside and waiting, thinking that this thing was done beautifully. After all, the emperor was out in person, and he did not bring concubines and palace people around him, and the emperor was no better than Emperor Yang Guang of the Ming Dynasty in this regard.

Whether Yang Guang is touring the west, the north or the east, he has to bring hundreds of officials of the imperial court, harem concubines, and even countless palace eunuchs with him. I wanted to tour the west not long after I took the throne, and I patrolled all the way to Zhangye, but I encountered a snowstorm and was caught off guard, and tens of thousands of palace soldiers froze to death at once.

He toured the grasslands outside the north, and even asked craftsmen to make a huge wheel palace that could accommodate 100 people, and countless wheels traveled on the grassland with a mobile palace, which was extremely luxurious.

But Emperor Qin was not like this, although he drove the expedition in person, he never brought concubines and palace maids, not even eunuchs. He did not travel in a horse-drawn carriage, but rode a horse like the soldiers.

He thought that the emperor would always be tired, and he would always have some needs, after all, the emperor was so young, so he deliberately took great pains to pick a lot of women.

These women were not slaves and maidservants, but the daughters he had picked up from the wealthy families in the city, and they were willing to take this opportunity to send their daughters to the emperor.

But who knows, the emperor let Wang Tiehan reprimand him instead.

This made the samurai who had just been promoted to the founding marquis of Ying County couldn't help but sweat on the back of his clothes, "Take these women away immediately, immediately." ”

"Yinghou, Your Majesty is very appreciative of your ability, but now is before the decisive battle after all, so you must not go astray."

"Understood, thank you General Wang for your advice."

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and even at night, it doesn't get much cooler.

Luo Cheng sat under the courtyard porch, except for the occasional sound of insects chirping and wowing, everything around him was quiet.

"Your Majesty."

"Shun Guogong has returned, and he has entered the city."

Hearing this report, Luo Cheng said, "Let's go see if Shun Guogong has rested, if not, please ask Shun Guogong to come and take a look." ”

Rothmo came over quickly.

"Your Majesty, the minister will lose the humiliation of the country, and ten thousand deaths!"

I haven't seen him for a long time, and Simo has lost a lot of weight, and there doesn't seem to be a few taels of flesh on his body, all supported by a tall skeleton. At the foot of the front steps of the emperor's room, he knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Luo Cheng lifted the curtain and came out, reaching out to help him up.

"Simo, you are a hero, what a crime."

The Emperor took him by the hand and walked into the floor, "It's cooler outside, but there are too many mosquitoes. When I heard that you were back, I wanted to see you immediately, and during this time, you suffered. ”

Simo couldn't imagine that he was a defeated general, and after being captured, the emperor not only tried to redeem him, but also treated him like this, and couldn't help but be moved to tears.

This old Turkic nobleman, because he used to have a bearded face, even the Turks did not agree with him and called him a mongrel. Who would have expected that after attaching himself to Luo Cheng, he would be so trusted and relied on by the emperor.

In the past few years, he has been assisting the heir in Monan, and this time he lost Dingxiang and Dali City, but the emperor did not blame him.

"You only have 10,000 people, but you have 200,000 people, but you are unyielding, strong and strong, and you and the soldiers under your command are all good."

"Your Majesty, they are all dead, only the ministers are alive, and they have no face to face Your Majesty."

"Since you are not dead, then live well for the brothers who have died in battle, avenge them, and take care of their families for them."

"Simo, my army is already encircling Jieli, and soon Jieli will become a turtle in the urn, we will capture Jieli alive, and the Turks will no longer be able to make chaos after this war."

Simo was taken aback, he had just been redeemed from the Yunzhong Jieli Barracks, and he didn't know the whole situation. They were already extremely surprised to see the emperor in Shenwu City.

"You just came back, I guess you haven't had time to eat yet, I've already asked someone to prepare some meals, just to eat with me."

"Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to disturb Your Majesty."

"If there is anything that does not fight, I just want to talk to you about something. Look at you, so thin, eat more in a while, raise your spirits, and when you fight with Jieli, I still want you to take the lead for me. ”

When the meal came, the emperor even served the meal for Simo himself.

This move moved Simo a lot.

"You have been in the Jieli camp for so long, and you probably know a little about Jieli and his soldiers and horses, do you think we can encircle and annihilate Jieli this time?"

"After Jieli is surrounded, will it surrender, and will its subordinates really surrender?"

Si Mo respectfully held the meal that the emperor had served him.

"Your Majesty, although the minister is a Turk, he is no longer a minister of the Turkic Khan. Although he took the opportunity to defeat the Tiele people, pacified Mobei, and invaded the south, he lost successive battles, and made mistakes in judgment one after another, making wrong decisions, so that he was now under the city of clouds, and there was no more than 100,000 people, this point of people, once surrounded, there was a risk of annihilation, Jieli would definitely sue for peace, and the minister suggested that His Majesty should not agree, and he would shoot when it was time to shoot, this is a good time to annihilate Jieli and hit the Turks hard, It must not be let go. ”

Luo Cheng asked with a smile: "Simo, you are loyal, I am very pleased, after capturing Jieli, I canonize you as a Turkic Khan, how about you to rule the grassland?" ”

When Simo heard this, he pushed away the chair and knelt down in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, by all means, after capturing Jieli, it is time to take advantage of the situation to destroy the Turkic Khanate in one fell swoop, and bring the entire steppe into the rule of Great Qin, how can you keep the Turkic Khanate?"

"Hahaha, you can think about it again." Luo Cheng said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, destroy the Turkic Khanate in one fell swoop, once and for all, and you must not raise tigers for trouble. At that time, the Khan of Qimin was supported by the Sui single-handedly, but as a result, although Qimin was loyal to the Sui, the son of Qimin surrounded the Ming Emperor in Yanmen from the beginning, and Jieli is now committing a large-scale crime, which is the proof. ”
