April 21 of the first year of Great Qin II, Longxi County.

An urgent military message from Jiuyuan suddenly made the originally calm Longxi begin to boil.

The 200,000 Xiongnu barbarian army went south, which made the counties of Longxi, which had not been in war for several years, suddenly a little chaotic, but fortunately, when Li Xin returned to Xianyang, he would take the shogunate

All the officers remained.

The shogunate on the land of China is different from the shogunate of the small, said, and the present. Of course, it can even be said that it is small, and it can be said that Ben's small shogunate was moved directly from the land of China with the policy of "taking it".

The shogunate began to exist gradually when the Warring States bureaucracy was established. The so-called shogunate, in the pre-Qin period, mainly referred to a series of military and civilian officials who followed the generals on their expeditions, which was equivalent to the current operational staff officers.

Later, after changes, the shogunate gradually developed into a large area, and not only military commanders had shogunates, but also civilian officials gradually established shogunates.

Before the Ming Dynasty, the officials in the shogunate were all officials within the state system, but the officials in the shogunate were freely appointed by the governor and then registered in the imperial court;

However, the Ming Dynasty unified the appointment power of all officials to the central government, and all officials will be appointed and delegated by the imperial court, while foreign ministers have no right to appoint. What followed was the staff, but the staff was already a private bureaucracy outside the system.

The so-called master of the Qing Dynasty was a typical staff member, a disguised shogunate product.

With the help of the shogunate personnel left by Li Xin, after the initial chaos, Longxi County began to help the residents of each county to evacuate to Zhididao (now Lintao County, Gansu) in Longxi County in an orderly manner.

The reason why this is so is because there are seven counties in Longxi County, except for the county Zhidi Dao, the remaining six counties are all broken city walls, if the Xiongnu army goes south, these small cities will not be able to resist at all.

In addition, Longxi is a frontier, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the people living in the counties except for a few native people, the rest are merchants from all over Guanzhong, and these merchants are mainly trading with the Qiang, Yue clan and other clans outside Longxi.

Therefore, after Weng Zhong discussed with the shogunate officials, although he was not sure whether the Xiongnu went south to Longxi or directly entered Jiuyuan, but just in case, he simply moved all the people from all counties into Didao City according to the previous method of dealing with them, so as to reduce losses.

This Weng Zhong is not the Weng Zhong who was powerful when the first emperor was in power.

Weng Zhong at the time of the First Emperor was the father of Weng Zhong in Didao City at this moment. In the twenty-second year of the first emperor, Li Xin led 200,000 people from Longxi County to the south to destroy Chu and was defeated, and more than 100,000 horsemen of the Qiangyue coalition army took advantage of the emptiness of Longxi to march eastward.

At that time, there were only more than 10,000 foot cavalry in Didao City, and the old Weng Zhong was only twenty and five, leading 3,000 cavalry to defeat 100,000 Qiangyue coalition troops, and was named the general of Lintao by the first emperor. In the thirty-second year of the first emperor, he paraded the Great Wall of Longxi in Jiuyuan, and was in danger by the tiger.

The first emperor Longyan Dayue crowned the old Weng Zhong as the secretary.

The first emperor thirty-four years, the old Weng Zhong died of a sudden illness, the first emperor ordered the bronze statue of Weng Zhong to be erected in the Xianyang Palace Square, and then heard that the son of Weng Zhong is also more than a foot tall quite the style of the old Weng Zhong, so he added the son of Weng Zhong to lead the Shangqing, General Lintao.

In order to continue to deter the Qiangyue and other clans west of Longxi, Xiao Weng Zhong succeeded the name of the old Weng Zhong and guarded Longxi, and in the first year of the Second Dynasty, Xiao Weng Zhong was just over twenty.

After the defeat of the Longxi army to Li Xin's annihilation of Chu, there were only more than 100,000 cavalry left, and they needed to guard Longxi and Shangdi counties at the same time, so now there are only 50,000 soldiers in Longxi County.

After receiving the urgent military information from Xin Sheng, the general of Jiuyuan, on the 17th day, the scouts of the Longxi Army began to explore the enemy situation in the west and north.

At this time, Weng Zhong and the Longxi County Guard were on the city wall to direct the last group of people from the westernmost county of Longxi to enter the city, and more than a dozen cavalry scouts raised a cloud of dust and rushed in from the east gate.

Soon the soldiers came up with a scout who had just entered the city covered in dust.

"Report to the two lords, we found a large group of cavalry coming straight to the county fifty miles west of the county town." Scout Shi Chang hugged his fists.

Weng Zhong and the county guard of Longxi glanced at each other, but they didn't expect to really come to Longxi. It's just that why did the Huns go far and near? They couldn't figure it out. They didn't expect that this was not the Hun cavalry at all.

The Xiongnu, Yue, and Qiang tribes are the three largest alien tribes in the northwest frontier of Great Qin, and the scouts and scouts observed these people on horseback from a distance and couldn't see much difference at all, so they didn't find that they were not Huns.

"The Huns are still fifty miles away, and the county guard is here to let the people enter the city quickly. The general will personally lead the troops to meet the Hun barbarians for a while. Xiao Weng Zhong's eyes shot a murderous light, and he hummed.

"General Weng, the Huns have 200,000 horsemen, and we still hold on to the county seat. With the high walls of the county city and the advantages of my Great Qin weapons, the Huns will definitely be able to return with blood. ”

The county guard heard that Xiao Weng Zhong was going out to fight against the Huns, and hurriedly persuaded him, and the county guard, who was not short in height, was like a child in front of Xiao Weng Zhong, who was more than a foot long, with big shoulders and a round waist like an iron tower.

"Lord County Shou, a certain father used to defeat more than 100,000 Qiangyue soldiers with 3,000 elite cavalry, and Zhong was blessed by His Majesty's heavenly grace to inherit his father's position. Let these barbarians always fear my Great Qin strong soldiers. After Xiao Weng Zhong finished speaking, he turned around and went down to the city.

The county guard stretched out his hand and opened his mouth, but finally put his hand down in a dejected manner, and said no more.

……

Unbeknownst to the county guard and little Weng Zhong, this was his father's defeated general Yue's army.

Since the defeat of more than 100,000 coalition troops in Qiangyue more than ten years ago by Lao Weng Zhong, Lao Weng Zhong has been regarded as a god-like figure by the Qiangyue and Yue clans, and has not dared to attack the east to fight Daqin for more than ten years, but there is often friction and fighting with the Xiongnu.

Su Bu Baye rushed to the Yue clan with Mao Dun's order arrow in the seventeenth day, and conveyed Mao Dun's words to the Yue clan patriarch as they were.

Long before the arrival of Sub Varpa, when the Xiongnu were just preparing to go south, Mao Dun had already sent someone to contact the Yue clan. At this moment, as the commander of the ten thousand horsemen of Maodun's personal guard, Su Bu Baye personally came to deliver the letter with the Maodun Command Arrow, and the patriarch of the Yue clan did not hesitate to immediately gather most of the soldiers and horses in the clan and went straight to Longxi.

The reason why the Yue clan agreed to Mao Dun to go east into Longxi was not only because of the heavy profit of Mao Dun's Xu Xuan, but more importantly, when Mao Dun swore to tell the Yue clan patriarch Weng Zhong that he was dead, coupled with the current heavy profit, the Yue clan patriarch finally made up his mind to cooperate with the Xiongnu to send troops eastward.

On the wilderness fifty miles away from Didao, the sound of hooves was like thunder, the earthquake trembled, and the loess was all over the sky. The countless cavalry of the Moon Clan roared over the Loess Plateau.

The Yue clan has five divisions: Xiumi, Shuangmi, Guishuang, Fatton, and Dumi. This time, the Yue clan dispatched a total of two-thirds of the soldiers of the five clans, a total of more than 100,000 horsemen, and went straight to Zhidi Road in Longxi County.

Among these five tribes, the Kushan tribe was the Yue clan who later established the Kushan Empire in the Caspian Sea, Afghanistan and the Indus Valley. At this time, the patriarch of the Yue clan was the patriarch of the Humi tribe, who cultivated evil.

Na Xiu was heavily guarded by thousands of guards on a small hillside, looking at the countless cavalry of the Yue clan galloping wildly in the wilderness, he smiled and asked Su Bu Pak not far behind him: "Friends from the prairie, how do the children of my Yue clan compare to your clan?" ”

When Su Bu Baye, who was in a daze, heard the words of cultivating evil, he hurriedly complimented: "The warriors of the great patriarch clan have superb riding skills, and our clan should be far inferior. The Qin people must have no choice but to flee from the wind this time. ”

"Haha!" Na Xiu and the many guards around him laughed when they heard the words of Su Bu Ba Ye, as if they had seen the scene of the Qin people running for their lives.

Su Bu Pak looked at the laughing cultivator not far away, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
