Chapter 548: Chapter 549 Return
Chapter 549 The 300,000 army of the Xiongnu, after more than a month, was completely annihilated by Qin Xi in the chaotic stone hill at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain.
The Xiongnu Dadan Yu Maodun, the Xiongnu leader Antulu, was buried under the heavy snow, and it was difficult to find the corpse in the capital.
Loulan received 2,000 Xiongnu prisoners, and the rest of the Xiongnu were all beheaded by the Qin army. Qin Xi did not leave prisoners, mainly because after this battle, the Huns who participated in this battle must have hatred towards Great Qin.
It is impossible for Qin Xi to let these people enter the territory of Great Qin, otherwise there will likely be problems, or even chaos, and Qin Xi will be a sinner at that time.
Leaving no prisoners seems cruel, but this is also Qin Xi's helpless move, everything is for the sake of Great Qin.
After the three armies converged, the large army, after a period of rest, would continue to advance westward to sweep away all the Xiongnu tribes.
In the camp, Qin Xi finally temporarily removed his armor, leaned on Zarelina's leg, and asked Zarelina to press his shoulder.
"It's comfortable, it would be even more comfortable if I could take a hot shower." Qin Xi said with a snort.
"Why don't you ask someone to boil some hot water?" Zazhelina asked.
"Nope." Qin Xi said: "That's what I said, now the soldiers have no hot water, and as the commander-in-chief, I have to share weal and sorrow with the soldiers." After hearing this, Zarelina nodded, stopped what she was doing, and then put Qin Xi down.
"What's wrong? Why don't you rub it? Qin Xi asked.
"Doesn't Your Highness want to share weal and woe with the soldiers? The soldiers had no one to rub their shoulders for them. Zazhelina said as she turned her head.
"You girl, did someone mess with you?" Qin Xi sat up and asked.
"Nope." Zarelina sat there with her cheeks on her cheeks and said, "I just feel that I didn't help His Highness when I came this time, but I asked His Highness to distract me and take care of me, and even lost the Tianshan Mountain, I'm a little sorry for Your Highness." Qin Xi said with a smile: "Just for this matter, who said that you didn't help, if you hadn't called the Loulan army, this battle would not have been able to annihilate the main force of the Hun army." ”
"Besides, this Tianshan, even if we eliminate the Hun army, I don't plan to defend this Tianshan, and when the time comes, Loulan will send troops to occupy it, and it will belong to Loulan."
"You brought Loulan here, and the meaning changed, and it became that Loulan was able to take back Tianshan because of us, Loulan owed me a favor to Daqin."
"Your Highness, the last general Wang Li asks to see you." At this time, Wang Li's voice sounded outside the big tent.
"Come in." After Wang Li came in, Qin Xi sat there and asked, "What's the matter?" Wang Li arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, Xianyang has news." ”
"What's the news?" Qin Xi stood up and asked. Wang Li handed the letter sent by Xianyang to Qin Xi, and after Qin Xi opened it, he said, "Call Zhao Yi and King Loulan over." ”
"No!" After the king left, Zarelina asked, "Your Highness, what has happened?" Qin Xi said: "There is a problem in Louyang, I have to go back to preside over the overall situation, we have to go back one step ahead." ”
"What about this side?" Zazhelina asked.
"Leave it to Wang Li and Zhao Yi, but we have to call them over first to explain, we can't just leave with our front foot, and they will have problems with their back foot." Qin Xi said quickly, several people came, and after learning that Qin Xi was going to return to Xianyang, several people were a little surprised.
However, the battle situation here is basically over, and there is no need for Qin Xi to continue to stay here.
After Qin Xi explained some necessary things, he and Zarelina were ready to return to Xianyang, which was still a long route away from Xianyang.
And this time when he returned to Xianyang, Qin Xi planned to pass by Tiangang City, and also visit the world-famous Li Tiangang on the way.
······ And in the east on the Donghu grassland. At this time, Donghu had been compressed by the Qin army into the mountains and forests to the east, that is, the area near the Great and Small Khing'an Mountains.
Donghu originally gathered an army of 400,000 and had great confidence in himself that he could defeat the Qin army, but after three or four major battles, Donghu collapsed due to successive defeats.
King Donghu, who had only become the king of Donghu not long ago, was ousted from the throne by his subordinates, only because there were major problems in the command of the king of Donghu, which caused heavy losses to the tribes of Donghu.
The leaders of the major tribes still have to pay for the improper command of the king of Donghu, and they are scolded like grandsons every day, so the major leaders are stabbed by the king of Donghu and form a tribal alliance to fight against the Qin army.
Facts have proved that without the king of Donghu, there would be no unity between the various tribes of Donghu. Later, in the battle with the Qin army, they almost went their own way, and they could only be broken by the Qin army one by one.
Eventually, after the Donghu were unable to defend themselves against the Qin army on the grasslands, the tribes retreated into the mountains and forests.
Facing the Donghu people who had escaped into the mountains and forests, the Qin army could only temporarily stop their pace. Now that it was the depths of winter, the mountains and forests were covered with heavy snow, and the Qin army did not know much about the terrain here, and rashly advancing would only cause greater casualties.
After the Fusu army and the Mengtian army converged, it was decided to consolidate the rule of the grassland first, and then encircle and suppress the remnants of Donghu after the beginning of spring.
In the Qin army, the curtain of the Chinese army's tent was suddenly opened, and a gust of wind and snow blew in, and at the same time, Fusu walked in wearing a thick cotton coat.
"It's really cold in this broken weather, if it weren't for this big cotton clothes, it would be really difficult to survive this winter." Fusu came in and hurried to the brazier.
Meng Tian said: "The coal sent from Xianyang should be enough for the whole army to survive this winter, but this grain and grass are consumed a little quickly." ”
"Yes, although there are many sheep in the army, but eating mutton every day, it is still unbearable, and now the dry food in the army is consumed very quickly." Fusu said.
Meng Tian picked up a small note on the table and said, "This is sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." After Fusu took it, he smiled and said: "This Hun has finally been solved!" That's great! ”
"Yes, the problem of the Xiongnu has been solved, and we can be considered to be much more stable, and now the grassland is our Daqin." Meng Tian said with a smile.
Fusu nodded, and then said, "I plan to play Your Majesty and give up the pursuit of Donghu, what do you think?" Meng Tian looked at Fusu suspiciously, and then said, "Why does Your Highness have this idea?" Fusu said: "At present, the grassland is already my Daqin's, and my Daqin's goal is only the grassland. ”
"Now Donghu has lost his combat strength and fled into the mountains and forests, and this mountain forest does not have much effect on my Great Qin, but only the labor army and the loss of money." Fusu said.
Meng Tian nodded and said, "Having said that, if the remnants of Donghu don't come out, I'm afraid they will make a comeback and continue to harass our borders of Great Qin." ”
"I don't think Donghu will make a comeback so soon, after all, the king of Donghu is dead, and Donghu seems to be united now, but in fact it is already divided, and it poses no threat to my Great Qin." Fusu said.
"At this time, it is up to His Majesty to make the decision." Meng Tian thought for a while and said.
