The cold wind whimpered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info.
The banner of Great Qin fell at Bamiyan, and 4,000 soldiers of the Qin army died on the battlefield. Their deeds quickly spread throughout the entire Great Qin Western Expedition team, and Ma Jin's name was mentioned again and again, and this Qin military captain, who was inconspicuous among the new Qin generals, bloomed with the most dazzling brilliance at the last moment of his life.
Pera, Balkans.
The generals of the Qin army, Luo Jia and Cao Xin, sat together silently, Ma Jin was captured by Xiang Yu's Chu army for Zhang Han's subordinates during the Julu War, and was later redeemed by Li Yuan in exchange for prisoners, after that, Ma Jin served in Luo Jia and Cao Xin's army, but Ma Jin's body was injured during labor in Pengcheng, and the high-intensity training of the elite division made him unbearable.
Transferring to the baggage army was a choice that Ma Jin had to make, and he thought that he would be able to stay stable in the army until he grew old, but he did not expect that he would encounter such a severe test.
In front of Luo Jia and Cao Xin, there was an ordinary captain's robe, a standard bronze sword, and a jar of fine Fufeng wine from Ma Jin's hometown of Fufeng County, which was surnamed Lie Glycol, which was suitable for the generals who led the army to tear apart.
"Captain Ma, although we haven't been together for a long time, but since you have taken the first step, brother, then be a brother, send a ride, this armor robe, is sewn by the women in Guanzhong, the needle money is very dense, can keep warm from the cold, this bronze sword, although outdated, but it is a unified military system, holding it, it is like returning to the past!"
"And this wine, the good wine of Fufeng, the wine of my hometown, what do we want to do the most, is to drink the strongest wine, ride the strongest horse, sleep with the most beautiful woman, and conquer the most difficult journey to cross-!"
Luo Jia and Cao Xin picked up the wine cup and drank it all as soon as they said a word, their eyes were full of infinite thoughts for their deceased comrades, and the friendship between men was sometimes like rivers and seas, not delicate, but sincere.
In the face of honor and life, Makin made his choice. And at this moment, his figure and his deeds are an example for hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Daqin to learn.
Guanzhong.
Fufu-gun.
At the mouth of a river in Yishui, a tributary of Weishui, Ma Jin's hometown, a small village in the past, is now thriving, showing a thriving scene. At the east entrance of the village, on the bare locust branches, a little snow is melting in the sun, although the winter is still continuing, but the pace of spring is also quietly coming.
Ma Jin's woman was plain white.
Standing quietly at the crossing, her face already had traces of time, her body was gradually bent in the night's work and thoughts, and her black hair had more traces of snow.
The news team from Chang'an had just left, Changshi Hou Xi looked sad, his tired face was full of sympathy, this official who followed Li Yuan all the way from Yongqiu, ordinary and simple efforts, although his ability is not as dazzling as others, but his efforts will eventually be rewarded.
At this point, Hou Xi and Ma Jin are the same type of people. They are unknown, they are not conspicuous, and even in the group of officials in Haohan, they are so ordinary, but no one can deny that it is their existence that has laid the foundation of the great Qin power.
――。
The seventeenth year of the Great Qin calendar, winter.
One after another cold wind blowing from the far north, with the momentum of unwilling humiliation, swept the entire Central and North Asian region, the southern foot of the Altai Mountains, the thick snow covered the vast grassland tightly, the wasteland was pure white, only a few poplars left half of the body in the north wind helplessly begging for pity.
Harsh winters in the north of the Asian continent. For people and animals, it is a very severe test, the predators of the grassland also hide in their nests early, or hibernate with their eyes closed, or howl in the snow with hunger, hoping to find one or two frozen animal carcasses from the depths of the snow to fill the energy flowing in their bodies.
Qin conquered the northern general, and Han Xin, the king of Yan, wore a thick and soft white fox fur fur, and led more than 30,000 soldiers of the Beidi Army directly subordinate to him to the south from the Beihai Sea.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, this expedition to the south, the soldiers have been looking forward to it for a long time, if we move quickly, we can expel those shameless southern mongrels from Bamiyan before Your Majesty, haha, when the time comes, let the people in the west see the real strength of my Northland Legion." Beside Han Xin, a general with a somewhat vicious face and a rolled scar on his face spat hot air and said confidently.
Qiu Lijin, the former Xiongnu Zuoxian King, gradually integrated into Han Xin's Northland Army after surrendering to Qin, and his tribe has now been renamed Wuhuan, which means from the grazing land Karasuma Mountain, and at the same time, Qiu Lijin also pinned his hopes on this to show that he and his tribe have nothing to do with the Xiongnu from now on.
Of course, it's not enough to just change a name. Qiu Lijin is a smart man, and after weighing it, he chose to take refuge in Han Xin's service. Han Xin was the largest general in the northern part of the Qin State, and his status was comparable to that of a prince, and if he took refuge, the Wuhuan tribe would be able to get the most practical support.
Han Xin was silent, but his hand shrunk in the fox fur trembled slightly, and there was not much change on his face.
Since the westward expedition of the Qin army, the southern, central and northern fronts have advanced hand in hand, and the southernmost road, the Western Regions coalition army commanded by Li Zhongxiang has broken all the way, and now it has occupied Egypt and become a prince who can sit on an equal footing with Han Xin.
In terms of the Middle Route Army, under the personal command of Li Yuan, Luo Jia's cavalry and Cao Xin's heavy infantry have now expanded to nearly 100,000 people, and the Mediterranean Fleet of the Qin Navy derived from the Middle Route Army won a great victory in the fierce battle with the Roman fleet. In contrast, the northern route of the army commanded by Han Xin Readli, although it also had a record of expelling the Slavs and the Huns, but compared with the first two routes, it was still much bleaker.
What is the reason for this? Qiu Lijin didn't say it explicitly, his meaning was very vague, but as long as he thought about it a little, he could guess that this was because Han Xin was not taken seriously and was squeezed out by Li Yuan's old department, especially the generals from the pro-military camp.
Count the founding generals of Great Qin. It can be said that a group of old subordinates who followed Li Yuan to fight the world, except for a few people like Wang Shang, who gave up on themselves, were all reused without exception, and in such a situation, a few generals like Han Xin, Ji Bu, and Huan Chu, who joined halfway and had different political views, could not form a climate of confrontation at all.
Han Xin was born in Xiang Chu, but fell out with Long Ji, Xiang Zhuang and others early in the morning; Ji Bu and Huan Chu are real generals of the Chu army, but these two people have little political ambition, and they are already very content with their current status, so even if Han Xin has the heart to unite, he can't find like-minded people.
After a long time, Han Xin began to say with a sigh of gold: "Within ten days, I want to see the banner of Great Qin fluttering in the Bamiyan River Valley, can you do it?" ”
Qiu Lijin was disappointed that Han Xin was unmoved, and when he heard the order, he was overjoyed and said: "Your Highness, ten days is too long, my Wuhuan army is eight, no, Bamiyan must be taken within seven days." ”
Seven days.
From the Altai Mountains to the Bamiyan Valley, the time spent on the road would have been reduced to five days, unless the Chulijin horse did not leave the saddle and traveled day and night, and in that case, how could he guarantee the combat effectiveness of his soldiers. However, if Qiu Lijin can really kill suddenly, the Indians will be caught off guard, and it will be difficult to stop the wolf-like Wuhuan people.
Only communication can eliminate misunderstandings.
Trust between people depends on mutual understanding.
Han Xin led the army to the south.
This time, he received an urgent edict from Sinseong from Sinanseong, and after hiding Han Shin's sharpest sword for a long time, Li Yuan finally decided to use Han Shin against the Indians. A knife, if it is not used for a long time, it will indeed be embroidered, and there will be resentment, and this time, Li Yuan hopes to have a good night talk with Han Xin when he meets in the Indus Valley, and unravels some of the barriers in each other's hearts one by one.
Unite.
More than anything else.
The pace of Great Qin's conquest of the world has just begun, and on the future journey, there are two strong enemies, Rome and India, as well as black Africa and the New World to be conquered. (To be continued.) )
