After Jia Chong Shibao led 50,000 Chinese troops south to Fancheng, he requisitioned and sent people to build warships and put on a posture of attacking Xiangyang.

Zhou Zhi saw that the cities were heavily defended, and feared that the Jin army would attack the new city, so he led the troops back.

The defenders of Xiangyang saw that there were reinforcements from outside, and their morale was greatly boosted, and it was even more difficult for Eastern Wu to break through the city.

Shi Ji changed the strong attack to a long-term siege.

The two sides struggled for months, which lasted until the eve of the autumn harvest in August.

Ma Xun, who went out to the Western Regions, led the army back.

The horses returned with a great victory, capturing more than 8,000 people, more than 300,000 horses and livestock, and the kings and nobles were sent to Chang'an.

From the beginning of the Hexi Corridor, the people shook the sky with joy, watching along the way, pointing at the captives and laughing.

When I arrived in Chang'an, it was even more crowded.

The 8,700 eagles raised their waists as straight as spears, and it seemed that even their horses were much stronger than usual.

Even the wounded were in high spirits.

On the ox cart in the middle are the ashes of the fallen soldiers......

The captives were all young and strong, and they all hung their heads in despair.

The princes and nobles did not look arrogant in the past.

This victory undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the Qin people.

This kind of celebration of national prestige, Yang Zheng naturally vigorously organized, built a prisoner offering platform early, cleaned the road, starting from Chencang, there were Qin Wang's personal soldiers to greet him, and the flags were planted along the way, allowing the people to come to visit.

And the enthusiasm of the people is also unprecedented, and some people actually came from Hanzhong more than ten days in advance.

Feng Yi, Longyou, Wuwei, and Xiping also had good families riding horses to watch.

Outside Chang'an City, there were crowds of people everywhere.

In order to prevent a stampede, Yang Zheng had to send the Chinese army out to maintain order.

"The last general is fortunate not to be dishonored!" In front of tens of thousands of pairs of eyes, Ma Xunbai was in front of Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng personally helped him up, "The general has worked hard, this battle has greatly increased the prestige of my Great Qin, and no one dares to move in the Western Regions for ten years!" Han has Huo Quai, and Lone also has General Ma! ”

Ma Xun was overjoyed, Huo Qubing is undoubtedly the ceiling of all generals.

Yang Zheng's next sentence made Ma Xun overjoyed, "Promote the general Ma Xun to the left general, seal the Marquis of Luo Ting, add the army, and reward three million." ”

Two eunuchs brought new armor, bronze seals, official uniforms, flags, long swords, and carved bows.

Yang Zheng saw that Ma Xun's armor was tattered, and it was full of wounds and bloodstains, so he simply changed his armor in person, which could be regarded as a pat on the back of this fierce general.

The new cold-forged armor combines the style of Tang armor in Yang Zheng's impression, with a scarf, shoulder swallow, arm cover, armor, arm shackle, abdominal swallow, and waist defense.

Several eunuchs helped to change the armor of the lower body such as the armor of the cassock, the falcon's tail, the skirt armor, and the mud pick.

Dark red armor with tiger skin and leopard tail, black cape.

Mighty and vigorous, it seems to combine the two styles of Middle-earth and grassland.

"The general gets on the horse, and he can be alone!" Such a set of armor costs a huge amount of money, and every detail is carefully polished.

It took more than 100 people in the iron workshop three or four months to make a set.

Of course, many details cannot reproduce the craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty, but there is no doubt that it is much stronger than the popular Confucian armor, two-crotch armor, barrel sleeve armor, Xuantie armor, and black light armor popular in the Han and Wei dynasties.

After decades of fighting in the Three Kingdoms, armor and weapons were constantly improving, and more than 40 years later, during the Wuhu Rebellion, iron armor and heavy armor began to appear.

The horse turned over and got on the horse.

In an instant, the originally noisy surrendering platform suddenly fell silent.

Under the early autumn sun, Ma Xun shone like a god descending from heaven, with a domineering spirit that swept all enemies in his might.

Seeing this armor, this general, you can see the mighty military power of Great Qin behind him!

In an era when war is everything, this kind of armor undoubtedly gives the general a sense of honor and satisfaction, and also makes the people safer than ever.

"The king is mighty! Great Qin is invincible! Ma Xun raised his arms excitedly.

It was as if a ball of sparks had been thrown into the boiling oil, "The king is mighty!" Great Qin is invincible! ”

The shouts came and went.

The earth shook, and the clouds in the sky swelled up.

This effect was unexpectedly good.

Give honor to the soldiers, and the soldiers will also bind themselves with honor.

In addition to Ma Xun, other meritorious generals were also rewarded one by one, and there were a few more miscellaneous generals in the army, General Yingyanglang.

Yang Zheng suddenly felt that the title and title were a little insufficient.

The three kingdoms of Qin, Jin, and Wu were established, and before the war to unify the world began, there were already people who could not be sealed.

Lu Zhi and Du Zhu's merits are too great, and Zhang Te's and Huo Yi's military merits are not small.

Sealing is actually a dangerous sign.

After the reward, Yang Zheng sat in the north and faced south, and asked the princes and nobles and generals of the Western Regions, "Do you dare to offend me Daqin for no reason?" ”

More than 100 people all knelt in front of Yang Zheng, and they were already frightened by the previous voice, and they all wanted to put their heads in their crotches.

All nations come to court, and it is far from all nations kneeling in front of them to relieve their anger.

At this moment, Yang Zheng was full of ambition, and suddenly remembered Chen Tang's famous saying: Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!

However, the Central Plains was not unified, and it was impossible for the Qin State to throw its forces into the distant Western Regions.

But that day is never far off.

In this era, Jiaozhou and the Western Regions were all the homeland of the Han family.

Yang Zheng has the responsibility and obligation to take it back, otherwise he will be sorry for the ancestors of the old Yang family and the old Liu family.

In the end, a gray-haired veteran trembled his lips and said fluent Chinese: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, we were forced by the Xianbei people, and we did not mean to offend, I hope Your Highness will forgive us!" ”

Yang Zheng sneered: "Is it Xianbei forced or Sima Zhao's bewitchment?" ”

At this time, Yang Zheng is no longer a fierce general who was killed from Luogu back then, but a monarch, an overlord who looks down on He Xiongzai, I don't know how many people's dry bones have been piled up under the Qin throne, and every move, every word is with supreme majesty.

The veteran's lips trembled even more, "Your Highness, Your Highness......"

Another bearded man with deep eyebrows and a high nose cried out what he said.

Yang Zheng didn't understand a word.

However, someone around him translated, "King, this person said that he was a prince, and he was willing to pay 10,000 taels of gold and gems to redeem himself!" ”

Yang Zheng was stunned, no one had trouble with money......

At present, the tuntian system is implemented, and money is needed everywhere in Guanzhong, 10,000 taels of gold and jade, which is a lot.

And there are more than a hundred here, isn't it more than a million taels of gold smashed at yourself?

Horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall and no wealth.

These countries in the Western Regions have been lying on the Silk Road for so many years, and they are all very rich.

"You are guilty of a lot of sin, and I was going to break your corpses into thousands of pieces to pay tribute to the heroic souls of the Great Qin who died in battle, but Lone has always been merciful and spared your life." Yang Zheng said righteously.

"Xie, King Qin, King Xie Qin!" A group of captives looked at Yang Zheng's soothing expression and kowtowed.

"But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, before your homeland redeems you, guard the cemetery for the lonely soldiers!"

After walking such a long way and suffering such a great sin, it is not bad for this experience.

When they heard that they were just guarding the cemetery, the captives were all relieved.
