The following is the text of the novel (author: Huaxia Jiuzhou) provided for you, please enjoy!
In the middle of the night of the eighth day of the fifth month of the second year of the Great Qin Dynasty, the three counties of Zhididao, Longxi County, and Caohan (the northeast of Linxia County, Gansu Province) and Lintao (the west of Dingxi City, Gansu Province) on the border between Longxi County and Qiang territory were attacked by an unknown number of Qiang cavalry at the same time.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, and the goal of the Qiang cavalry was the same as before, which had been to break through the Great Qin City, it became aimed at the ordinary people of Great Qin.
The change of goals, coupled with the fact that the Longxi army did not receive any news, more than 100 Qin villages of various sizes living outside the three cities were looted by the Qiang people, and the fire in the sky ignited half of the sky in Longxi County that night, and the smoke that rose into the sky even covered the beacon tower where the Longxi border army warned for a time. “,
The smoke rising from the sky stretched from the westernmost county of Longxi to Lintao, an important town in the southwest of Longxi County.
Because in the middle of the night, the Longxi border army defending the city of the three cities did not know how many Qiang cavalry were attacking, and from the thunderous roar of horses' hooves, they could only roughly distinguish that there would be no less than tens of thousands of horses.
Tens of thousands of cavalry, except for the 50,000 troops in the western part of Longxi, the rest of the two counties of Caohan and Lintao have only more than 5,000 troops, and most of them are foot soldiers, and the cavalry is only a few hundred. "Look
The captains of the garrisons of the two cities of Lintao and Caohan were worried that if they went out of the city, they would fall into the trap of the Qiang people, and if they lost the city, then this responsibility and loss, even if they added everyone's heads, would not be enough to cut off.
Therefore, the defenders of the two cities strictly guarded the city to prevent the Qiang people from attacking the city while it was dark, and on the other hand, Pegasus reported to Xin Sheng, the new Longxi general who was sitting in the county Zhidi Dao.
As the base camp of the Longxi Army, 30,000 of the 50,000 troops were in the city, and the remaining 20,000 were stationed in the two acropolis on the left and right wings of the city, leaning on each other.
Xin Sheng also did not send troops out of the city to rescue for the sake of insurance. After all, in a situation where the enemy's military intelligence and strength are not clear, it is fine if there is no ambush. If you have an ambush, you don't have to think about the result.
The death of some soldiers was acceptable, but the city of Didao was lost. Then Xin Sheng will die and will not be redeemed.
The roar and cries of horses' hooves did not fade until the white belly of the fish in the east.
When the day dawned, the Longxi army that went out of the city saw a tragic situation that they could not let go of for the rest of their lives.
Naked and bruised, the dead Qin women were everywhere, and the babies who were already scorched and faintly recognizable. A headless corpse, and the heads of the people piled up on a hill.
……
When the news reached Xianyang, Hu Hai was holding a small court meeting in the council hall.
Most of the time, the small court meeting of Great Qin was attended by important ministers such as the three dukes and the nine kings. Most of the remaining Beijing officials at all levels are not eligible to participate. Sometimes. Because of the need, the deputy in charge of a specific matter in each government will be summoned to come on an ad hoc basis.
When Yingyi hurriedly sent the red letter reported by Longxi Xin Shengzuo to Xianyang to Hu Hai, Hu Hai was ordering the government to count the officials below the county order in the country, and then issued a document to register and make a register, which was included in the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
When he saw the red letter in the hand of Win, Hu Hai felt ominous in his heart.
Holding back the anger in his heart, Hu Hai read Xin Sheng's report word by word, and then handed it to Liu Bang, who was standing on the side. He instructed him to give the letter to all the important ministers in the palace for circulation.
Although the letter had not yet arrived, everyone, including Feng Quji and Ying Teng, felt the monstrous anger that he tried to suppress from the silent emperor.
It was the calm before the storm.
When the three princes and nine secretaries, whose faces changed greatly, read the letter in their hands one after another, Hu Hai spoke.
"Let's talk about it."
Three simple words. But it made everyone feel a chill to the bone.
"Dare to ask General Ying, have Longwei Mansion and Black Ice Platform been installed in Longxi and other places?" Tonne was the first to stand up. The spearhead is directed at Yingyi, who is standing in the main hall.
The general ministers of the court, even including Wei Yu, Ying Teng, Feng Qujian and others, did not know about the operation of the Longwei Mansion and the Black Ice Platform, but as the Imperial Doctor, he was very aware of the weakness of the Black Ice Platform in the past.
In addition to receiving Hu Hai's orders and not having to report to the weak Imperial Historian's Mansion, the establishment of each branch government in each of the other places must be filed with the Imperial Historian's Mansion for accountability at any time, and at the same time, it is also convenient for the Imperial Historian's Mansion to directly impeach the guilty officials.
It can be said that the current government and the opposition of Great Qin, except for Yingyi, who controls the Longwei Mansion and the Black Ice Platform, is the one who is the Imperial Historian, who knows the operation of the Dragon Guard Mansion and the Black Ice Platform all over the country.
Yingyi is no stranger to Dun Weak. He also knows his character very well.
Therefore, after hearing the weak question, he knew that he was in trouble.
Hu Hai, who was sitting on the top of the main hall, heard the weak words and did not make a sound. If he asked weakly, he also wanted to ask.
The border counties of Daqin, especially the three counties of Jiuyuan, Shangdi, and Longxi, which border the Xiongnu, Qiang, and Yue clans, were already arranging secret agents when Hu Hai first took over the Black Ice Platform, just to prevent these places from being suddenly invaded by the three tribes.
However, this time, the Qiang people entered the three cities of Longxi in a big way, and penetrated hundreds of miles into the territory of Longxi, and Longwei Mansion did not even notice it. Dereliction of duty is certain. Of course, the Longxi Army was also derelict in its duties.
Yingyi was silent for a while, and seeing that the emperor in the main hall did not make a sound, he bowed weakly and said astringently: "Back to my lord's words, Longwei Mansion has been placed in all the border counties in various places to make detailed inspections, and the three counties of Longxi, Shangdi, and Jiuyuan have arranged hundreds of Longwei Mansion and Black Ice Platform to work carefully according to His Majesty's orders. ”
"Your Majesty, please govern the Longwei Mansion and General Longxi." was a little weaker and unambiguous, and got Yingyi's affirmative reply, and directly began to impeach Yingyi and Xin Sheng.
The rest of the important ministers were silent.
What he did was only what he was doing, but what they were thinking about was what happened to him, what the emperor thought, and what the emperor wanted to do.
"Yingyi, the commander of the Longwei Mansion, was fined for one year and eighty whips, and immediately rushed to Longxi to investigate the matter thoroughly. General Longxi, Xin Sheng's command of the army is unfavorable, and he sat back and watched the people of Daqin be slaughtered by the Qiang people, and he was fined for one year and sixty rods. The punishment of the two of them, and when the matter was over, the second lieutenant of the Longwei Mansion was executed at Di Dao.
Su Jiao, the deputy general of the Jiuyuan Border Army, led 50,000 Jiuyuan troops to aid Longxi, and Xin Shengjiao listened to the order. With the Jiuyuan border army in and out of the west to occupy Jiuyuan, the west of Longxi, the Qiang people, the Yue clan attached to the Great Qin, can be killed, can be released, the recalcitrant are all killed, the army westward, with the general Meng Tian in the middle of the dispatch, the deputy general of the Jiuyuan border army is involved in the army. Be ready at any time for the army to march westward.
Ordered Xin Sheng to investigate the enemy's situation, and the Longwei Mansion responded and sent troops as appropriate. If there is something to be done, we will definitely kill all the Qiang people who invaded the territory of our Great Qin, and not one will be left. Gather the ministers and immediately hold a grand court meeting in the main hall of Xianyang Palace. ”
After Hu Hai finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left, leaving a group of important ministers of the court who did not dare to come out of the atmosphere looking at each other.
