Sunrise in the East.

Andong Province, Obifang County.

At the foot of Cheling Mountain, by the Namhan River, a group of Shenwei soldiers returned victoriously and showed off their might. They carried the heads of the Goguryeo rebels they had slain with their spears and galloped across the river on their mighty horses.

Some soldiers also held high the captured rebel battle flags and honor guards, laughing loudly all the way.

Behind their horses, there was also a long line of Goguryeo rebel soldiers tied.

At this time, their armor was stripped off, their hands were tied, even their belts were removed, and they had to lift their trousers at all times, and then they struggled to take heavy steps to keep up with the speed of the war horses, otherwise if they accidentally fell, they would have to be dragged by the horses.

Compared to the other defeated companions, the fate of these captives was not bad.

Their officers and superiors were all stuck in the spears of those Qin troops at this time, and more of their companions were still scattered at the foot of the mountain by the ditch at this time, or they had sunk to the bottom of the Nanhan River.

Defeated captives were everywhere, and there were slain corpses everywhere.

The Qin army had finished the battle, and was now cleaning up the battlefield with ease and joy, they wandered around the battlefield in groups, took out sharp horizontal knives to cut off the heads of the rebels who had died in battle, stripped off their armor, and led their horses, and anything useful or valuable on them would be taken away.

Even the dead war horses will be slaughtered and divided.

The commander of this battle, Xu Shiji, also came to the battlefield on horseback and surrounded by a team of guards.

Everywhere they passed along the way, the officers and men of the Shenwu Army all gave warm cheers to the young commander.

It was under the command and leadership of this man that the soldiers of the Shenmu Army led by them were invincible, from the lone army when they first came to this point, to the current defeat of Later Goryeo and Later Korea, which are unable to gain a foothold.

The kings of the two small courts have changed three or four, from Hancheng in the north, to the rich Jianghan Plain, and then to the Taebaek Mountains and Cheling Mountains.

Now the two rebels can only hide between the mountains, guerrilla escape.

Even the Baekje and Silla armies, who pretended to be rebels, were brutally defeated several times by them, and the Baekje and Silla people who were killed did not dare to complain.

Another great victory, they succeeded in encircling and annihilating more than 3,000 rebels.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the mountains are getting more and more difficult, and when the rebels go down the mountain to grab food, it is their time of death.

"Report to the governor, behead more than 700 ranks, the rest are all prisoners, more than 3,200 rebels, and none of them escaped."

Xu Shiji nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, that's what it is." ”

After this battle, the rebels will no longer be able to hide in the Cheling Mountains, and will definitely move further south, and further south, Baekje.

Xu Shiji wanted to know if the king of Baekje, Fuyu Zhang, had the courage to contain them.

Buyeo Kang, the envoy of Baekje State, stood by the Namhan River, watching the record room of the Shenmu Army recording the military merits, and the specific process of the battle, the actual victory, all of which were recorded in great detail.

The commanders and adjutants of each regiment and battalion must also report to the military headquarters separately to check their combat exploits. After all the combat exploits are recorded, an announcement will be made, and if all the soldiers think that there is something wrong with this, they can report and verify, and those who report will be rewarded, and those who falsely report and fake when they record their merits before will be severely punished.

Fuyu Kang has been in Xu Shiji's army for a while, there is no way, he was ordered to find Xu Shiji, the supreme commander of Daqin's party, but Xu Shiji has been in the army all day long, and he can only follow him.

"Wang Tainan is one of the six generals of the Goguryeo Dynasty, I didn't expect to be beheaded here." Buyeo Kang saw that there was a record of his beheading in the military merit book, and couldn't help but sigh, he had seen Wang Tainan before, and Buyeo Kang had dealt with these Goguryeo rebels before, and even supported them secretly on behalf of Buyeo.

The notekeeper in a military robe and with a long beard wrote on the scroll with a pen in one hand, and said with a smile, "Zhao Laosan has taken shit luck, let him behead Wang Tainan, this military merit is enough for him to obtain 500 acres of fertile land on the Xinhan Plain by Nanyang Bay, this bastard, shit luck." ”

The Xinhan Plain on the side of Nanyang Bay is a plain in the west of the South Han River in the north of the Cheling Mountains, which is very fertile, and the Shenwu Army calls that bay Nanyang Bay, and the plain on the side is called the Xinhan Plain, which is full of longing for his hometown.

The most common reward for those meritorious soldiers of the Shenwu Army is to grant land and land, and they are very generous.

In addition, there were rewards of silk money and grain, as well as slaves and cattle and horses.

It can be said that the Shenwu army is leading the party to quell the chaos, and now many soldiers have become landlords along the Han River.

And Xu Shiji's most common sentence to boost the morale of the army is that as long as you don't die, you can be a big landlord here!

Fuyu Kang was very bitter in his heart, and after running with Xu Shiji for a while, he was now more and more powerless against Qin Jun.

The Qin army was too strong, especially their equipment was too strong.

In the past, it was said that the Goguryeo people were strong, and the Goguryeo army had many armored horse cavalry, but the armored horse cavalry of the Goguryeo people was far behind the cavalry of the Qin army.

Not to mention the morale of the Qin army.

Fuyu Kang found Xu Shiji and expressed to him that he wanted to go back.

"When I return to Beijing to meet the queen of my family, I will ask the king of my family to send troops to intercept the Goguryeo rebels who have entered the country, and will never contain them, but I also ask the general to restrain the soldiers under his command not to cross the border and enter my Baekje territory."

Xu Shiji smiled.

"I said Lao Kang, I heard that although you are from the Buyeo tribe, you studied the classics of my Han family when you were a child, and it is said that your family has been a cultural person who has read poetry and books for several generations, and you can be regarded as a famous family in Baekje?"

"I promoted Confucianism and learned Chinese characters three hundred years ago, and my family is just average, but I dare not call it a scholar." Buyeo Kang said busily.

"Since you often read the books of the Han family in the Central Plains, you should also understand the ambition of my Han emperor. Goguryeo is bound to be destroyed, and the old frontier of the Han family must be restored, no one should think about any crooked thoughts, otherwise you have also seen the powerful elite of my Shenwu army. ”

"Yes, yes." Fuyu Kang hurriedly said, "I will never dare to stop Emperor Qin from restoring the old frontier of the Han family." ”

"When you go back, you can also persuade your king to don't want to play any tricks with us. It's the year again, you have to prepare some tribute gifts, and then send an embassy to the capital of the Central Plains to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven to show your loyalty. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, General, what should we pay tribute?" Buyeo Kang asked, the Central Plains is vast, and everything is better than Baekje.

"More gold, silver and pearls can be tributed, and you can also pay tribute to some young and beautiful Baekje women, so as to enhance communication and show loyalty."

Buyeo Kang carefully wrote it down, and on the same day he bid farewell to Xu Shiji and returned all the way to Sihyeongseong, the capital of Baekje. After seeing the king Fuyu Zhang, Fuyu Kang explained the strength of the Qin army, and claimed that he must not provoke the Great Qin, and should pay tribute to the Qin emperor to eliminate the disaster.

"It is decreed by the king that all unmarried women between the ages of 14 and 20 in Baekje will be forbidden from marriage for two years, and all of them must participate in beauty pageants, and select 100 young and beautiful women from among them and send them to the Central Plains to pay tribute to the emperor of Daqin."

"King, all unmarried women from fourteen to twenty are afraid of no less than 100,000, if they are banned from marriage for two years, they are afraid that the impact will be too great, please think twice." There are ministers who oppose it.

But Fuyu Zhang ignored it, "This matter will be handed over to Fuyu Kang to preside, and another 5,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, and 10 buckets of pearls will be prepared, and they will be ready to pay tribute to the emperor of Qin." ”
