Chapter 257: Roasting the Whole Sheep by Fire
"The Hun King City is destroyed, reward the three armies tonight, with the fire of the Huns, let's roast the whole sheep!"
Xiao Zhengtai said loudly with his back to the raging fire.
"Thank you, little boy!"
"The little boy is mighty!"
The Xiongnu city was destroyed, Xiao Zhengtai gave everyone a reward again, and now there is a roasted whole sheep to eat, and the soldiers are so beautiful that they are bubbling.
Along the way, they really didn't eat less mutton and horse meat, and even felt that they didn't eat as much meat as they did during the war in the past ten years at home!
The cheers echoed in this vast grassland for a long time before they gradually dissipated!
The fire in the Xiongnu royal city burned higher and higher, and the soldiers skinned and removed the meat of the captured fat sheep, put them on sticks, rotated back and forth, and roasted them beautifully by the fire!
"I never thought that one day we could burn down the Xiongnu King City, and still eat their fat sheep on their chassis, haha, it's really enjoyable!"
"It's as if anyone had thought that from Yanmen County to now, it takes less than ten days to sweep away half of the tribes of the Huns, and also capture Mao Dun and burn the royal city, such a fast progress, even if you can't dream of it!"
"Yes, thanks to the artillery invented by the little boy, it has reduced a lot of difficulty for us to attack the city, otherwise, just one city, we won't be able to attack it in ten days and a half months!"
"In the future, our Daqin will never be bullied by other countries again, it's good if we don't bully others, haha......!"
The soldiers laughed excitedly as they nibbled on the roasted whole lamb.
"There are many people in the royal city, and it is inevitable that the people who will turn around and flee, it is estimated that it will not be long before the remaining tribes will receive the news of the destruction of the royal city, I don't know whether they will stubbornly resist or raise their hands to surrender?"
In the big tent, Wang Ben, Zhang Han, Meng Tian, Han Xin and others sat together, eating roasted whole sheep while studying the next cleaning matters.
Xiao Zhengtai sat in the first place, holding a dagger, cut a piece of meat at the leg of mutton, and stuffed it into his mouth, showing a look of enjoyment.
Not to mention, the mutton of this grassland is indeed different from the native of Daqin, and there is a faint flavor of fresh fragrance!
The system rewarded a lot of spices before, and he brought most of them when he went out to the grassland, which came in handy when he stewed beef and horse meat along the way.
Without these spices, the mutton would not be able to be eaten!
Meimei swallowed the roast leg of lamb, and Xiao Zhengtai suddenly found that the big tent was unusually quiet.
When he suddenly looked up, he found that everyone's eyes fell on him, and he couldn't help but be stunned, "Ah......?" What did you just say? ”
"Haha, after all, the little boy is still young, and his nerves have been tense for so long, it's really time to relax!"
Seeing Xiao Zhengtai's cute appearance, which was completely similar to the domineering appearance before, Wang Ben and the others suddenly laughed.
"Tongwu Hou just said, I don't know what those tribal leaders will do after learning that the royal city has been destroyed!"
Han Xin smiled and repeated what he had just said.
"Hmph, the eight achievements are surrender!"
Xiao Zhengtai picked up the sharp dagger with an easy expression and continued to cut the meat that had been roasted on the leg of mutton.
Now that the Hun army has been broken and the royal city has been burned, they have no point in resisting at all, and they don't have the strength to resist, surrender is their best choice!
"According to the previous plan, we will set off early tomorrow morning, and within ten days, we must take the entire territory of the Huns!"
The remaining tribes hardly had to attack, and the prestige of the Qin army should have spread throughout the Xiongnu at this time.
As long as the Qin army arrives, those tribes will definitely be captured!
What they had to do was to count the spoils of war and send people to send the captives to Yanmen County, which also took a lot of effort!
That's why Xiao Zhengtai only gave ten days, and ten days later, everyone is still meeting here!
"Yes......!"
Everyone responded in unison, and set out early the next morning.
……
"Your Majesty, the little prince has won great victories in the northern expedition against the Huns, and he is about to return to the court in the near future, so don't you have to send this supply anymore?"
Xianyang City, in the imperial study, several important ministers gathered here, and Meng Yi asked.
Everyone received the news of the burning of the Xiongnu royal city, and their hearts were excited.
"Haha, that's nature, they go all the way to eat all the way, except for some ammunition, when did we send grain and grass? From now on, even ammunition will not have to be delivered, but the progress of manufacturing will still continue, and we must not relax! ”
Ying Zheng held a big belly and laughed heartily.
burned the royal city, and also used the fire to eat roasted whole sheep, and this kid came up with it!
When this news comes out, other countries must be jealous, killing three birds with one stone!
"Yes!"
Meng Yi bowed his hand respectfully and retreated to his place.
"Your Majesty forgives the sin, the minister has a matter, I don't know whether to talk about it or not!"
Right Prime Minister Feng Qujian hesitated for a long time, and finally tentatively opened his mouth.
If it were normal times, he really didn't dare to say anything about it.
But today, His Majesty was in a good mood, and several important ministers were also there, so he dared to ask tentatively.
"Speak! Ha ha......! ”
Sure enough, Ying Zheng smiled and agreed directly.
As long as His Majesty agrees, even if he doesn't agree, there shouldn't be much punishment!
"Your Majesty once promised the little prince that when he destroys the Huns, he will give him a grand prize, I wonder what Your Majesty can think of rewarding him?"
Feng Quji had asked once before, but Ying Zheng didn't seem to think about it, and said that he wanted them to help him.
But they are a group of courtiers, who dares to be the lord of the emperor? That's why no one ever opened their mouths!
"This ...... I haven't figured it out yet! ”
Speaking of this, the smile on Ying Zheng's face gradually dissipated and became embarrassed, "Do you have any good suggestions for a few Aiqing?" ”
"...... suggestion?"
Everyone looked at each other.
"Why don't you give a great deal of gold or silver?"
An officer's weak proposal.
"You can pull it down, the little boy has a lot of property in his hands, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is making money every day, so how much gold and silver do you have to give to the little boy to be able to look at it? Besides, money is a mundane thing, can it be considered a great reward? ”
However, as soon as the words fell, Meng Yi was the first to speak out against it.
"Well, that's true!"
Even Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.
I thought that it was impossible for that kid to take down the Huns, and he was ready to slaughter them fiercely!
I didn't think that this kid really won this difficult bone!
Joy is joy, but what to reward is indeed a big question!
"If you can't give money, then give the land, and give the little boy a fief, which can be regarded as a big reward!"
"What's more, after the unification of the six countries, our dynasty has canceled the sub-feudal system, if it is given to the little prince fief, wouldn't it be equivalent to reopening the sub-fief? Absolutely not! ”
As soon as he heard the two words, Feng Quji immediately objected.
"Well, the matter of dividing the seal can't be reopened, let's think about something else!"
Ying Zheng also shook his head and refused.
