"This beast, can senior brother know it?" Kuaitong looked at the monster and stared at it for a while, and suddenly said loudly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Strange beasts and insects!" Zou Hong and Cai Ze glanced at each other and said in unison.
"Roar!"
When the monster on the Yuzhou Ding heard Zou Hong and Cai Ze's words, it suddenly let out a heaven-shattering roar. Then he poked his triangular head high into the big ding, which was coiled by its two bodies.
When he raised his head again, a white egg-shaped object appeared in the monstrous mouth. The insect beast with the white egg-shaped thing was the beast, but the two bodies that had been wrapped around the lapidium giant tripod for more than a month had left the giant tripod under it for the first time.
The huge blue and golden body of the giant tripod was completely exposed to everyone's eyes for the first time.
The two insects whose bodies left Juding did not go far, but still hovered beside Juding, holding the white egg-shaped thing and staring at Zou Hong and the others with two fist-sized eyes, no longer making any movements.
At this time, the complete body of the insect beast was also revealed in front of everyone's eyes. It was not until this moment that Weng Zhong and the others discovered that the body of this insect beast was definitely more than four zhang. Its previously exposed body was only a third of its entire body.
I don't know how long the blue-gold giant tripod has been buried in the mud of the river, but there is no rust or stain on the huge body. The Fang Tian Fang on the belly of the giant ding, who had seen a little fur and determined that it was the map of Yuzhou Ding, finally appeared in front of Zou Hong and others in a complete way.
The complete map of Yuzhou during the Xia Yu period is known to everyone.
This is really Yuzhou Ding!
However, at this moment, the ecstasy of confirming Yuzhou Ding was diluted by the strange behavior of insects and beasts.
What does it mean to be a beast?
What's going on here? Which play is this? What is that white egg-shaped thing that the worm is holding for the beast?
Zou Hong, Cai Ze, and Kuai Tong glanced at each other. can see the ease in each other's hearts. I thought it would be a very difficult task, but I didn't expect it to be so simple.
"Quickly bring out His Majesty's edict." Zou Hong whispered in the ear of the officials of the Supervision Department of the Zongzheng Mansion who followed.
Although this royal clansman was also full of doubts in his heart, he reacted quickly, immediately took out the jade box that he had been carrying closely, and carefully asked for an edict that Zou Hong had asked for from Hu Hai before leaving.
The contents of the edict were unknown to the royal family who served in the Supervision Department of the Zongzheng Mansion. Cai Ze and Kuai Tong also didn't know. Only Hu Hai, Cao Shen and Zou Hong, who ordered the drafting of the edict, knew.
Looking at the edict taken out of the jade box of the Supervision Division, Weng Zhong and the others did not dare to slack off, Long Weifu and Weng Zhong and other generals all knelt on one knee, but Zou Hong and the others bowed down in unison and bowed deeply.
Less than a moment. In addition to the officials of the Supervision Department who were about to read the emperor's edict, including the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army and the thousands of soldiers of the construction corps on the periphery, they all knelt on one knee and prepared to receive the edict.
"Emperor Daqin II's edict: Er is the elf of Heze, guard my national treasure of Daqin......"
The officials of the Supervision Department came out with a multiple-word edict. Qi Hong, Tian Fang and others, who bowed down to receive the edict, understood that the emperor had issued an edict to let the monster contribute Yuzhou Ding.
It's just that. Does this work?
After the edict was read, Zou Hong got up and looked at Weng Zhong and said, "General Weng, still don't act according to the edict?" ”
"Huh? Acting according to the edict? How to do it? Weng Zhong hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he said dumbfounded.
Zou Hong rolled his eyes, this thing is hopeless, and I don't know how he can be a Xuanwu general.
"General Annoyance gave an order, let all the Xuanwu soldiers under his command withdraw. Just leave the way for the worm to be a strange beast. ”
"Oh. Good! Weng Zhong replied casually, and then seemed to think of something, "What if this beast takes Yuzhou Ding away?" Your Majesty will investigate it, but he will tell the truth. ”
"The general can just do what he says." Zou Hong is really lazy to talk to this goods.
It seems that the war is very capable of fighting. Is it all mud in the head?
With Weng Zhong's order, the Xuanwu soldiers, who turned insects into beasts and the impassable waters of Yuzhou, quickly demolished all the fences, giant shields and camp tents, and gave way to the passages up and down the river.
The insect with the egg glanced at Yuzhou Ding reluctantly, then turned around and twisted his two bodies towards the upstream river. However, I climbed the barrage that was not too high.
"Poof!"
Bang. The water splashed in all directions and disappeared into the vast Huai River.
Weng Zhong, Qi Hong, Tian Fang and others already felt that their heads were not enough at the moment.
The emperor's edict is not only useful to himself and others, but also to make those beasts who don't understand human speech also obey the edict?
This...... This...... It's just unbelievable.
Zou Hong looked at the reactions of Qi Hong, Weng Zhong, Tian Fang, and the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army and the Construction Corps who witnessed the incident, and glanced at Cai Ze and Kuaitong, and smiled meaningfully.
It's just a cub-guarding, somewhat psychic Heze beast.
There's really no fuss, is it?
On March 26, the fourth year of the Great Qin II, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qin II issued an edict to protect the strange beasts of the Ding, and the strange beasts listened to the edict and abandoned the Ding, and the Yuzhou Ding appeared. From this day on, Huaxia Jiuding finally reunited.
Yuzhou Ding was born, and the news that Jiuding will reunite in Xianyang City in the near future is like a gust of wind blowing all over the five lakes and seas of Daqin, the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and the inside and outside of the grassland.
However, such a big news is no longer important. What's even more exciting is His Majesty the Second Emperor, oh, no, it's the matter of the Holy Son of Heaven ordering the beast to leave obediently.
This is no longer something that can be done by human beings.
Zou Hong successfully added a heavy fire to the reputation of the Holy Son of Heaven of Huhai.
Of course, if he knew that he was about to become the lord of the country, I am afraid that he would have made enough efforts to make this fire burn more vigorously.
On the first day of the fourth month, Yuzhou Ding set off from Guangling to return to Xianyang under the escort of 10,000 Xuanwu soldiers.
At the same time that Yuzhou Ding was carried into the Xuanwu Army camp to be heavily guarded, the Black Ice Platform had already played everything that happened in Guangling to Hu Hai. Seeing what Zou Hong had done, Hu Hai first scolded the "old fox" with a smile, and then added the "old god stick" as if he was not relieved enough, and then left the emperor's study with a laugh. I went to hug my son.
Is this providence?
……
Time flies, and soon it is the middle of April of the fourth year of the second year. In the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies, all parts of Daqin are also thriving.
At the same time, Hexi County, which is nearly 10,000 miles away from Xianyang, is a long horn sounding, swords are all over the sky, and the murderous atmosphere is soaring into the sky.
On this day, it is recorded in the history books of Daqin that it is April 18, the 54th year of the Great Qin calendar.
After nearly a year of preparation, the annexation of the Yumen Pass Fortress has been nearly ten months long with 100,000 White Tiger troops. Finally, on this day, he received an edict from His Majesty the Second Emperor of Great Qin, and the flag was waved west to Puchanghai.
The White Tiger Army had an army of 100,000 troops, originally with a total of 90,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 cavalry. After ten months of rest, in order to cope with the environment of the Western Regions. The Ministry of War urgently dispatched nearly 60,000 horses of various types from several royal horse farms in Jiuyuan County to strengthen the mobility of the White Tiger Army.
Among the 60,000 horses, 40,000 were Mongolian war horses with excellent endurance and were suitable for long-distance travel, and 20,000 were responsible for baggage logistics. With 40,000 war horses, plus the 10,000 cavalry that the White Tiger Army originally had, the White Tiger Army became a legion of 50,000 foot soldiers and 50,000 cavalry. It's no longer the way pawns accounted for the vast majority of the past.
At the time of the big camp in Bashang, the five legions. Almost every soldier was specially trained to mount. Although because of the different emphasis of each legion, such as the White Tiger Army, which is dominated by foot soldiers, ordinary foot soldiers are definitely not as elite as the cavalry-based Suzaku Army.
But fortunately, the foundation is there, after several months of training. Coupled with the previous foundation, the 40,000 foot soldiers of the White Tiger Army turned into cavalry have basically been adjusted, and they may not be as powerful as the cavalry of the Vermilion Bird Army, but after a few actual battles. That's pretty much it.
100,000 White Tiger Army, 50,000 foot soldiers. 50,000 cavalry, divided into three routes, respectively from the Yangguan Fortress and the Beacon City, Yumen Pass Fortress North, West, and South three directions at the same time towards Puchanghai.
Fifteen thousand of the infantry were temporarily turned into baggage squads. Of course, tens of thousands of Xiongnu captives in Hexi County were the best candidates to transport the baggage. These fifteen thousand people were only responsible for logistics support, and by the way, they took care of the Xiongnu prisoners.
The North Road Army, that is, the White Tiger Army that marched west from the Yangguan Fortress, was commanded by Yi Heng, the deputy general of the White Tiger Army, with 10,000 cavalry and 15,000 foot soldiers, of which there were 5,000 soldiers in charge of baggage. At the same time, 10,000 Xiongnu prisoners were responsible for transporting grain, grass and weapons;
The South Road Army, that is, the White Tiger Army that marched west from the Yumen Pass Fortress, was commanded by Wu Wei, the deputy general of the White Tiger Army, with 10,000 cavalry, 15,000 foot soldiers, and 10,000 Xiongnu prisoners who transported logistics baggage.
The middle route army, led by Du Teng, the commander of the White Tiger Army, marched west from the fortress of Beacon City to Puchanghai. Du Teng's middle route army was also the largest army, with 30,000 cavalry, 20,000 foot soldiers, and 30,000 Xiongnu prisoners who transported grain and grass.
The three-way army is guided by a group of princes of the Western Regions Kingdom who have already arrived in Hexi County. And the prince of Loulan is also in Du Teng's mid-lane army.
The target of Du Teng's middle route army is Loulan City in the core area of Puchanghai.
The other two armies were led by those dead princes who were responsible for sweeping the small countries in the Western Regions that had been occupied by the Wusun people in Loulan City, and finally the three armies would join in Loulan and then sweep the entire Western Regions.
In the eyes of many people in Great Qin, the countries of the Western Regions, including the Wusun people, were enough to use 100,000 Great Qin's elite White Tiger Army.
