Chapter 30: The Qin-Qiang War End
readx;?? The time came to January 210 BC, and Zhang Jiashi was still in a coma. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info.v.omhp:///If it weren't for the fact that Ying Zheng had asked several royal families for worship many times, and the other party unanimously strongly guaranteed that Zhang Jiashi did not die, maybe Ying Zheng would have directly dug Zhang Jiashi into a pit and buried it directly, maybe he would have to add a very classic sentence: "Zhang Jiashi is eternal." "Epitaphs like that.
The above things, for the Qinqiang War that broke out unexpectedly this time, are just to adjust Yingzheng's mood.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
On January 8, 210 BC, in the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor, the Qin army, which had besieged the city of Yongdu for more than a month, launched an almost effortless onslaught on Yongdu.
A large number of Qin troops, carrying ladders and following behind the rushing carts, swarmed towards Yongdu on a large scale.
Of course, there is also a very interesting thing, that is, several carriages, carrying dozens of tightly tied officials, or Confucian scholars, under the control of the driver, slowly followed behind the army, waiting for the opportunity to enter Yongdu.
In fact, people with a little common sense know that for many days, a large number of scavenging birds, including crows, have been circling in Yongdu City, which has already shown a point. That is, Yongdu City, which looked like a silver wrap on the outside, and had begun to be silent many days ago, has become a ghost town.
And the reality is the same.
Through the cloud ladder, a large number of Qin troops who entered the city of Yongdu had already discovered one thing, that is, in addition to a large number of charred house ruins in Yongdu, there were also many white bones scattered on the ground covered by snow.
If it weren't for the cold weather, Yongdu would have been plagued long ago. Because most of the corpses that are slowly decomposing, at room temperature, may have already become a time bomb, and the Qin army will enter the city to make a very effective biochemical attack.
The gate of Yongdu City, which had been closed for many days, was opened one after another by the Qin army who climbed the tower. And a large number of Qin troops, who entered Yongdu from the city gate, began to actually collect the remains of the bones.
Of course, those Confucian students who were tied up and the other party was behind the carriage, they were cut by dozens of Qin troops behind them, and then pressed into the Yongdu City.
Such a thing, but Ying Zheng personally ordered it to be done. These low-level Qin troops can't be disobeyed at all.
As a result, many people saw some bronze cooking utensils, such as tripods or pots, and some human flesh that had been frozen into ice cubes, and many of them vomited.
However, except for a few doctors, most of the Confucian scholars who gathered in front of the gate of Xianyang Palace after a few doctors were driven to Yongdu by Ying Zheng, were all arrested by Ying Zheng's order, and then driven to Yongdu, and the Confucian Sect with Kong and others as companions did not have such good treatment.
Because once they vomited, the Qin army around them laughed at them very badly: "With such a good character, they dare to point fingers at our dead colleagues for their achievements, if they let them go to the battlefield in person, it is estimated that it will be ......."
"That's right. ”
"Hahaha. ”
Qin Jun's ridicule sounded one after another. Of course, this point was revealed by Yingzheng. For he can be said to be an idiot who is angry enough by the benevolence of these pedantic women.
And some Confucian scholars with some strength looked at these Qin troops with hatred, but in exchange for a hard blow that reversed the wooden handle.
Many Confucian scholars were beaten to the ground by this blow, and some even knocked over those cooking utensils......
A Confucian student turned to him with a grunt because he saw a skull with a little hair, because the ice was broken, and as a result, Qin Jun beside him was so frightened that he fainted directly when he saw this Confucian student.
These Qin officers and soldiers were stunned, and then burst into fierce ridicule......
......
This kind of thing is just one of the things that the Qin army has to do after entering Yongdu. Although it was Ying Zheng's personal order, compared to the right thing to do, they immediately discovered a very serious problem.
That is, the identities of many of the dead are unrecognizable, not to mention the remains of their robes who died in Yongdu.
A large number of corpses, even if they were not boiled into broth by the extremely hungry Bai Ma Qiang, but there was no obvious appearance, and they didn't know that those were their robes, those were civilians, and those were Bai Ma Qiang. In this case, the Qin army then dug a big pit out of all the bones or corpses in the ruins of Yongdu City, and then mixed them together and burned them directly.
Later, some of the wreckage was transported outside the city for landfill.
To tell the truth, although there are many coachmen in the nearby county towns who pull horse-drawn carriages to make a living, they can't help but mutter: "Mildew." ”
That's just as well. Although the Qin army issued such a task, it can be said that the money is still abundant, and the hay and fodder consumed by the horses are supplied free of charge by the Qin army. But if it weren't for these two points, and for the fact that few people were willing to travel far because of the cold weather, which led to a great reduction in the livelihood of the camp, the coachmen would not have agreed to do such a job.
According to incomplete statistics, it took these coachmen almost six days to remove all the corpses in Yongdu City.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
The Battle of Yongdu City was known as a tragic victory of the Qin army over the Qiang people.
Although, after this battle, Baimaqiang's strength was greatly reduced, and then under the joint pressure of the Qin army of Shu County and Longxi County, he had to move west to Xiqiang.
It can be seen that this is a great victory for the Great Qin against the Qiang people, both tactically and strategically.
However, because when this battle took place, it was a cold winter, the consumption of the besieging Qin army and the compensation for the dead in the battle, Ying Zheng knew very well in his heart that in this battle, Great Qin lost more things.
The loss of nearly 5,000 elite soldiers and about 2,000 county soldiers, a total of 7,000 soldiers, is also a very huge impact on the surrounding areas of Great Qin Neishi County.
The loss of more than 10,000 people in Yongdu City, as well as the cost of rebuilding Yongdu, made Yingzheng also have to allocate additional expenses to deal with it afterwards.
Of course, it is impossible to have the bereavement of these leaders. However, the cost of rebuilding Yongdu and relocating residents from other places is also a large amount.
......
Where there's bad news, there's good news. About ten days ago, the Qiang people who were outside the area of the Lintao Great Wall retreated in a big way.
And Yingdong was cautious and did not let his troops pursue the Qiang people. It was only two days later, after confirming that the Qiang people had indeed fully retreated, that he sent a small force to recover several small county towns that had been broken by the Qiang, and at the same time sent people to report to Xianyang, hoping that Ying Zheng could send corresponding officials to take over the government affairs of these small counties.
This ancient version of "no war on the Western Front", in addition to the loss of dozens of subordinates in the early feints, Xiqiang Wang Landu, his withdrawal this time, the most important thing is that the weather is getting colder and colder, and a large number of livestock are frozen to death, so that his grain and grass can not be effectively maintained, and he can only lead the troops to retreat.
This is a factor.
Another factor was Cortiri, who suddenly appeared in front of him one day, and asked for the withdrawal of troops.
Although he didn't think much of Cortiri's opinion at first, he agreed to Cortiri's request after hearing that Cortiri's words were becoming more and more reasonable.
Compared with this time, which is more like a fruitless dispatch, the White Horse Qiang analyzed by Cortili will inevitably move west after this heavy loss, after avoiding the result of the Qin people's anger. He put his mind on this Baimaqiang, who was likely to move westward.
Although it is said that Baimaqiang has lost a large number of prime years, the remaining subordinates are also the basis for the strength of Xiqiang under him.
Women and children are the foundation of a tribe's development. The more women there are, the more people can be born. Such things are one of the foundations of a nation's prosperity.
Therefore, he asked the troops to fully retreat to the Qinghai Plateau and wait for the arrival of the fat sheep Baimaqiang.
Of course, if Cortili and Landu and other high-level officials of the Xiqiang tribe knew that in addition to the losses of thousands of people and a large number of livestock in this Qinqiang War, there was also a totem beast Tianma who was beaten and crippled and tied up in Buzhou Mountain, and was almost not played "cannon branding" by a group of unscrupulous divine beasts of the blue wolf, it is estimated that they will be scared half to death.
......
And on the way back to the Qinghai Plateau, Cortiri's second brother Gemule, who had the best relationship with her, found that his sister had a little more to worry about after she came back.
After he camped and settled down one night, he found Cortiri: "Did you encounter something when you went to Qin Gou this time?"
Cortiri nodded, she looked at the stars in the sky with a complicated gaze, and then said, "This time I met a young Qin State clan, and he has a power that makes me indescribable. I was thinking that one day, this person would be a great trouble for us Qiang people and our tribe. ”
After Gemul heard this, he smiled disapprerovingly, because Great Qin had not dared to go deep into the plateau for many years, he did not believe that a small Qin Dog Clan could do something that their ancestors had not been able to do for hundreds of years.
But he still quipped: "The second brother is wondering, is it that the little sister has fallen in love with that Qin Gou, who is probably very powerful?"
"He is indeed very powerful, but he has not left any mark in Xiaomei's heart. Cortiri said this, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, and did not speak again.
Gmuller looked at his sister's usual expression and smiled imperceptibly.

On January 18 of the new year, that is, after being in a coma for more than a month, Zhang Jiashi finally woke up from the bed in his bedroom.
The white wolf was lying on the side of his bed, yawning boredly.
"You guy. Zhang Jiashi showed a hint of a smile, in exchange for a white wolf's eyes, and the ensuing licking of Zhang Jiashi's face.
At this time, Qi Ji, who was holding a bronze basin in her hand, threw the basin on the ground, she covered her mouth incredibly, and her eyes couldn't help but shed a line of tears......
......
When Zhang Jiashi was eating, he learned that he had been in a coma for more than a month after he passed out in Yongdu.
found that he had been a "vegetative person" for more than a month, and Zhang Jiashi's forehead couldn't help but ooze fine beads of sweat.
Because he doesn't feel anything wrong with his body,
Of course, Yu Miaoyi, Qi Ji and Qi Huan'er will not deceive him, a large number of silk books written to him by Yu Miaoyi, Yingxi and Ying Lian will not deceive people either.
These things made him feel that he already felt at home in Daqin. It's a very welcoming place that touches him.
Nothing is more important than someone who cares about you.
Therefore, after he finished eating, he beckoned to Yu Miaoyi and Qi Ji, and after the two walked to his side, Zhang Jiashi gently hugged the two of them and whispered: "Zhang can know you, it is a blessing from God to Zhang." ”
However, Zhang Jiashi forgot again that there were Qi Huan'er and the white wolf in this room.
The white wolf was fine, lying on the ground and inadvertently moving his furry ears. But Qi Huan'er raised her little face with a hint of blush, and said reluctantly: "Brother Zhang, Huan'er also wants to hug." ”
"......" Zhang Jiashi was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.
And Yu Miaoyi and Qi Ji, who were held by Zhang Jiashi in both hands, looked at each other before Yu Miaoyi said: "Huan'er has also taken care of her husband for a long time in the past month or so, in this case, why did your husband insist on refusing?"
And Qi Ji also said: "Husband, you can let Qi Huan'er sit down for a while." ”
"Nani?" Zhang Jiashi called out in astonishment, but after he saw the playful eyes of the two, he had to say, "Okay, Huan'er, come, sit ...... Brother Zhang"
Qi Huan'er didn't wait for Zhang Jiashi to finish speaking, so she jumped on Zhang Jiashi's body, like a koala, leaning in front of Zhang Jiashi's chest.
......Zhang Jiashi, who felt a little weird in his heart, thought of a very classic sentence in later generations: "Director, this script is wrong." ”
Yu Miaoyi and Qi Ji saw Zhang Jiashi's puzzled expression, and couldn't help but laugh in a low voice at the same time.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
The next day, not long after Zhang Jiashi got up, the long-lost father-in-law Xi came to Zhang Jiashi again with a silk book.
Father-in-law Xi did not read out the silk book at the beginning, but hugged his fists and congratulated Zhang Jiashi: "Zhang Duwei, Xi knows that you have heavenly help." ”
Zhang thanked his father-in-law for his concern. Zhang Jiashi smiled slightly, and then said, "Your Majesty is this time?"
"Oops, I've forgotten about business. Father-in-law Xi said this sentence with a smile, and then after Zhang Jiashi, who was wearing armor, half-knelt on the ground, he read out this decree.
Zhang Jiashi continued to subconsciously ignore the content that was not the focus for him.
As a result, after Gonggong Xi read out the decree, Zhang Jiashi found that his title had been raised by two ranks, and in the next year, he had an additional 200 stone of Yulu, and the 5,000 people commanded by his Ah Fang Duwei were promoted to 10,000 men. Although there is no change at all. However, the military power has more than doubled.
After Zhang Jiashi took the edict, he chatted with Father-in-law Xi for a while, and followed Father-in-law Xi to the barracks.
This time, Gonggong Xi did not read out the decree to Zhang Jiashi alone, but read it to many officers in the barracks.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi's identity is there, so Father-in-law Xi will come to Zhang Jiashi's mansion in Shuangyi early in the morning.
......
After riding the red cloud, which was very intimate when he saw Zhang Jiashi, licked Zhang Jiashi's face, and calmed down after being busy for a while, Zhang Jiashi found that this military camp looked much larger than before.
And after coming to this new barracks, which was actually at least doubled in size, Zhang Jiashi saw a lot of faces that he had no impression of going to the school field one after another, preparing to concentrate.
A feeling of great sadness suddenly appeared in his heart. Because he knows that if it weren't for him, I'm afraid many people would have lived a little longer.
But things had come to this point, and he silently came to the familiar tent.
A large number of officers had already gathered in the camp, and the number of these officers was more than double that of Zhang Jiashi.
However, looking at the unfamiliar faces of the two or five hundred new masters, the bitterness in Zhang Jiashi's heart became more and more intense.
And Father-in-law Xi gently patted Zhang Jiashi's shoulder and said in a low voice: "Soldiers will inevitably die in battle, Captain Zhang, please don't mind too much." ”
"Father-in-law, I know. Thank you. Zhang Jiashi said a few short words before stopping, and then half-knelt on the ground.
The other officers followed behind Zhang Jiashi and knelt down on one knee one after another according to their positions.
At this time, Father-in-law Xi read out the rather lengthy edict.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi once again played the characteristic of ignoring the nonsense content of the edict, and sorted out the following contents.
The two or five hundred lords under him reached ten, namely: Ruan Weng Shao, Huan Suo, Han Xin, Su Teng, Zhao Miao, Yuan Chong, Lu Guang, Teng Xi, Cao Kang, and Yao Tong.
The two five hundred masters and two five hundred masters of the pro-guard team are Shusun Zhong, Shusun Ji and Yao Yong.
The military Sima is led by Chen Ping, Gong Cao is Xiao He, and the captain of the baggage team is Xiahou Ying.
As for Cao Shen and Wang Ling, they served as Chen Ping and Xiao He's deputies respectively.
Different from the previous establishment of 5,000 people, Zhang Jiashi's 10,000 people are just the number of regular troops, if it is counted as a cooking team, a baggage team, a personal guard team, a siege equipment team, etc., Zhang Jiashi's troops have exceeded 15,000 people. This is also the most important reason for the expansion of the camp.
......
Zhang Jiashi definitely didn't expect that in the end, before leaving, Gonggong Xi would say a word to him: "That, Zhang Duwei, Your Majesty will tell Zhang Duwei to pass on some details to him before sunset today."
Zhang Jiashi didn't know that Yingzheng hoped that Zhang Jiashi could bring out a stronger army than the one he saw in Yongdu.
