Chapter 452: Good things happen one after another
Chapter 452
The changes in Xianyang are basically known only to the upper officials, and the ordinary people are basically unaware of them.
And even if someone knew about it, they didn't dare to say it everywhere, because this matter involved the emperor and the clan, that is, the emperor's family affairs, and it was a felony to despise the emperor if they discussed and spread it in private.
Although the clan committed the great crime of rebellion and rebellion, the first emperor still spared the rest of the clan.
Moreover, the first emperor posthumously named Ying Xi as the Marquis of Yong, which can be said to be the greatest affirmation of Ying Xi.
This incident did not cause any turmoil in Xianyang, and at the same time, because Meng Yi was controlled outside, the power of the clan outside Xianyang City did not play any role and subsided.
Just one night and one night, and it was over, even as if nothing had happened.
Great Qin's current focus is still on exterminating the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and unifying Baiyue.
Under Xiao He's command, the logistics and materials of the Great Qin army were arranged in such an orderly manner that even the Guannai could not feel that there was a war.
Xiao He's ability was seen by the First Emperor, and some ministers were even more impressed.
The First Emperor even said that if there was Xiao He back then, and Great Qin ruled the world, the financial and material resources spent could be reduced by thirty percent.
Don't underestimate these three percent, these three percent are enough to feed the entire Great Qin for a whole year.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiao He had risen too fast, and there were still a few old ministers above, the First Emperor would have wanted to promote Xiao He again.
However, the First Emperor still gave Xiao He a lot of rewards, but Xiao He turned his head and converted the rewards into military expenses and used them on the army that Great Qin was fighting, which made the First Emperor very satisfied.
As artillery continued to be sent to the counterinsurgency army in the south, the good news was also passed back one after another.
These battle reports are also washing away the invisible haze over Xianyang City.
······
On the border of Donghui County, Daqin's 200,000 troops once again defeated Zhao Weichu's 100,000 coalition army, a typical victory of winning more and fewer and suppressing by absolute force.
Led by Xiang Bo, Zhao Weichu's coalition army continued to retreat to the south, leaving behind corpses and countless refugees for the Qin army to clean up.
It was impossible for Qin Xi to ignore these corpses, which could cause disease and cause great damage to Donghui and its surrounding area. Therefore, Qin Xi ordered that the corpses should be collected when encountered, and then burned in a centralized manner.
As for the refugees, Qin Xi couldn't ignore it, and even the grain and grass in the army had to be supplied to the people in advance, which was the first time in the history of the march.
When the army went to war, the most important thing was grain and grass, Qin Xi distributed grain and grass to the refugees, and was opposed by many generals, but in the face of Qin Xi's strength, the generals were helpless.
However, Qin Xi also discovered that these two things seriously slowed down the marching speed of the army, and it was obviously impossible to go on like this.
So Qin Xi decided to divide the troops, divided 50,000 horses, led by Yang Ruihe, and at the same time settled the people, he collected and burned the corpses.
Although Yang Ruihe didn't understand Qin Xi's approach, Qin Xi was the prince and the boss of this rebellion, so Yang Ruihe could only hold his breath and stay to do things.
Without the drag of corpses and refugees, the speed of the march of the army has been significantly improved.
However, the Zhao, Wei and Chu coalition forces also took advantage of the time when the Qin army slowed down to build a defense in Xiapi and temporarily resisted the offensive of the Qin army.
Since the Qin army came to Xiapi City, the weather has changed, and it has rained heavily for three or four days in a row.
When Qin Xi returned to the tent from outside, he was covered in mud on one leg, and although he was wearing a robe, his body was still wet a lot.
"When will this rain stop, there will be no way to attack the city if it goes on like this." Meng Tian sat in the big tent of the Chinese army and drank tea.
The heavy rain fell on the tents, like a drum, constantly beating on the anxious people.
Qin Xi sat next to Meng Tian and said, "I just went to the warehouse, and there is a layer of explosives that has been soaked by the rain and is no longer usable, but fortunately, the impact on the artillery is not big, it is big." ”
"If it rains for another two or three days, then even if the weather is clear, it will take three or four days to dry before the city can be attacked, otherwise the casualties will be too great."
Meng Tian poured Qin Xi a cup of hot tea, frowned and said, "What I'm most worried about is that if this rain continues to fall, the outside of Xiapi City will become a depression, and it will be troublesome at that time." ”
Suddenly, Qin Xi was stunned, Cao Cao attacked Lu Bu during the Three Kingdoms period, and after a long time of attack, it seemed that he used the water of Surabaya and Yihe to flood Xiapi.
Now that it has been raining heavily for so many days, if the Yi River and Surabaya are dug up, then Xiapi will inevitably be completely soaked in water.
Qin Xi immediately told Meng Tian his idea, Meng Tian slapped his thigh, and immediately shouted color!
After having a way, Meng Tian ran out to do it himself, while Qin Xi continued to hide in the big tent of the Chinese army and drink tea leisurely.
The other side.
Bai Yi and Cao Yu cleared Hengshan at great speed, and after that, 200,000 troops pressed Jiujiang County, doubling the pressure on Xiang Liang.
Today, the only areas that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms still control are Jiujiang County and Donghui County.
And these two counties were surrounded by the Qin army, and the only relatively weak one was Sichuan County north of Jiujiang.
But Sichuan County is actually a bait, a bait to lure Xiang Liang to break through to the north.
Although Sichuan County seems to have only 50,000 Qin troops, they are all iron troops transferred from the Great Wall, even if Xiang Liang has hundreds of thousands of troops, it is difficult to cross Sichuan County, and he can only be dragged to death in Sichuan County.
And now Xiang Liang is simply unable to gather such a huge number of troops at once.
Xiang Liang's army, plus the remnants of the other five kingdoms, was divided into two parts.
Part of it was the 100,000 army led by Xiang Liang of Jiujiang himself, and the other part was the 70,000 army led by Xiang Bo.
Xiang Liang didn't think about expanding his troops, but the people in the two counties basically ran out, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled, so that Xiang Liang lost the source of troops.
Bai Yi and Cao Yu's offensive was very fierce, and Bai Yi greatly implemented Bai Qiqiu's style of chasing and fighting, like a sharp knife, straight into the hinterland of Jiujiang.
The artillery attacked the city to open the way, and then the army pressed the border, which was clearly used by Bai Yi and Cao Yu. Xiang Liang's army was defeated and retreated, and even before the news of the last defeat reached Xiang Liang, the next battle had already been lost.
So much so that when Xiang Liang woke up, Bai Yi and Cao Yu's army had the opportunity to cut Jiujiang in half.
In this momentum, the Qin army in the south is also marching forward, attacking cities and conquering places along the way, constantly compressing the living space of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.
And just when the good news of the anti-rebellion army was spreading, news also came from the southern expeditionary army of Great Qin.
The 300,000 army led by Tu Sui personally broke through the capital of Luo Yue and captured Luo Yue alive. The entire southern region of China became the territory of Great Qin.
The arrival of Qin Xi can be said to have greatly changed history, and the Battle of Baiyue, which originally took three years and lost hundreds of thousands, ended in only one and a half years. The loss of men and horses is only one-tenth of history.
However, relatively, the time of the Great Qin's southern expedition to Baiyue was also postponed for several years, which led to a deeper connection between the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and Baiyue, and also led to the hasty mobilization of troops by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms when Baiyue was critical.
History is always linked to each other, and when there is a change, there will be changes in the future.
