Chapter 59: Governor

The Land of Governors.

The most fertile land in Yan Kingdom, just like Jing Ke said when he presented the map, this place is fertile for thousands of miles and rich in products, which can be compared to the Guanzhong Plain of Qin State.

In addition to being a rich land, the geographical location of the governor is also very important. Its two ends, the northeast is the upper capital Jicheng, and the southwest is the lower capital Wuyang, which can be called the heart of the Yan Kingdom.

Now, with the fall of Wuyang, this fertile land has unveiled her true face under the veil.

Led by Li Xin, the Qin army set foot on the land that their king longed for.

But what disappointed Li Xin was that he did not encounter the Yan army that came to fight and resist along the way, and even the small cities along the way were not defended by Yan soldiers.

In the face of the Qin army's crossing, most of the cities surrendered openly, and those that did not surrender were just a round of charge.

Therefore, in only two or three days, Li Xin's department arrived in front of Zhuoyi City.

Zhuoyi.

In ancient times, it was also called Zhuolu, it was the place where the ancient Xuanyuan clan and Chiyou fought together, located in the heart of the governor, and it was only more than 100 miles away from the Yan country thistle, and the geographical location was very critical.

As long as the Qin army lays down here, it can use Zhuoyi as a base to garrison grain, grass and horses, and become a bridgehead for attacking Jidu, which can be attacked and retreated.

Li Xin originally thought that Zhuoyi was so important, and it must be heavily guarded by Yan State, and a tough battle was indispensable. Who knew that when he came with his troops, Zhuo Yiling took the initiative to open the door and surrender.

Looking at Zhuoyi Ling with a flattering smile on his face in front of the city, Li Xin was helpless, but he could only accept it.

The main purpose of their Xing army was to capture Zhuoyi, and to divide troops to occupy important townships and settlements along the way, so as to ensure the safety of the subsequent army.

After occupying Zhuoyi, Li Xin began to divide his troops and go out and garrison the main roads in various townships.

Although Zhuoyi Ling surrendered, he couldn't control whether the surrounding towns and towns would surrender or not. This place is the heart of the Yan Kingdom, and many of the three elders of the township are the generations of nobles of the Yan Kingdom.

"One tun and one town, stationed in traffic."

Li Xin divided the troops according to the establishment of 50 people in a tun, Yan Guoqing was requisitioned and many of them were requisitioned, and a fully armed tun soldier was enough to take a township, if he couldn't take it, he could also send a message to send a large army to encircle and suppress.

"We've finally got mixed up this time. It's just a small township, with our Tun troops, it is not easy to take it, I hope those Yan people don't surrender directly, it's best to resist, so that we can kill it, as long as one person cuts off his head, everyone can be promoted to a knighthood, isn't it beautiful. ”

The black buttocks carried a spear, walked on the dirt road in the countryside, shook his head, and smiled at the thought of being promoted to the knighthood.

His words resonated with everyone in Xintun, and the sergeants and soldiers laughed and talked about what they would be able to do if they got the title.

Zhao Tuo glanced at his black buttocks, he walked straight to a big stone and stood, clapped his hands, and motioned for everyone in the tunzhong to be quiet and listen to him.

"You want to make meritorious contributions, I Zhao Tuo understands."

"When we get to the place, if the Yan people in the township dare to resist us, everyone can rush to kill and cut off the head of the meritorious service. But if the Yan people did not use force, you must not act rashly, let alone do anything to women and children, and must obey my orders. If someone provokes a dispute with his own force in order to obtain military merits. Shibuma! ”

"In!"

"If there is such a thing, then the method of war and punishment will be carried out, and this kind of person will be killed on the spot!"

"Yui."

Shima responded, his eyes scanning the audience.

Everyone in Tunzhong couldn't help but tremble when they saw his cold gaze, lowered their heads and kept silent.

After this period of getting along, everyone knows that Shima is powerful, don't look at this dead face and is silent on weekdays, but he is absolutely ruthless, as long as someone dares to violate Zhao Tuo's order, Shima will definitely kill people on the spot.

The Qin army's method of war punishment has a saying: Tun Chang has to punish Shi Chang, and Shi Chang has to punish ten people.

With Zhao Tuo's authorization, Shima could kill anyone who violated the order.

The black buttocks reacted the fastest, and he immediately said solemnly: "The tun chief is right, if anyone dares to provoke a dispute, don't wait for the chief to do it, my public black buttocks will not let him go, and he will definitely poke his ass!" ”

Zhao Tuo snorted coldly, and when he saw everyone's assurance, he came down from the stone.

No, Zhao Tuo, as a Zhao person, knows very well that Yan Zhao is a scholar, generous and sad, and if he doesn't agree with each other, he can draw a knife and face each other.

Although the Yan people are now afraid of the might of the Qin army, and all of them have surrendered, if someone bullies them too much, those Yan men will inevitably have blood and qi surging and make a bloody battle.

Now that he has left the army and gone deep into a foreign country, Zhao Tuo must strictly control the team and cannot tolerate the slightest mistake.

As soon as he warned him, the people of Xintun were much more honest, marching in a proper manner all the way, and did not dare to talk nonsense anymore.

The place they were going to was called Gubo Township, an important township east of Zhuoyi.

Compared with the chaos of the war on the front line in Wuyang, Du Kang Zhiye still maintained some temporary calm in the rear of the battlefield.

Walking among the mountain roads, Zhao Tuo saw women and old people busy in the fields, and from time to time he could see children chasing and playing in the fields.

It's April, and it's already time for spring ploughing.

Most of the men were drafted into the field, but the fields still had to be planted, and the old and weak women and children went down to the fields to tend to the seedlings, and only in this way could they get a bite to eat from the fields in the second half of the year.

"Qin Jun, it's Qin Jun!"

First, a few children found the traces of Zhao Tuo and others and shouted.

Immediately afterwards, the women and old people also saw it, they screamed, turned and ran, and some millet and wheat seedlings that had just been planted were trampled down by their panicked footsteps.

"Whatever you run, Naigong won't eat you. And what kind of nonsense is there to grunt. ”

The black buttocks pouted, staring into the women's buttocks into the distance, and only reluctantly withdrew his gaze until they disappeared into the field.

Zhao Tuo frowned slightly, and the words of the black buttocks reminded him of one thing.

That is, except for him, no one else in Xintun could understand Yan Ren's words.

Yan and Zhao are next to each other, and their accents are similar. As a nobleman, Zhao Tuo has learned some Yanguo dialect, so he can understand the cries of those women and children. But these subordinates are all authentic Guanzhong Qin people.

There is a saying that "ten miles of different sounds, a hundred miles of different languages".

Within the same county, the accent of different townships will be different. If it's separated from the county, it's very difficult to communicate, and if it's farther away, then you really have to guess.

Qin Yin is similar to Zhou Chaoyayan, Qin Jun speaks, and Yan people can probably understand it. But when the Yan people speak, it is like a Arabian night talk to the Qin army, especially those ordinary Yan people who can't speak Yayan.

The communication problem is very serious.

At this time, Xi Qigu came over and whispered: "Tun Chief, these people should be from Gubo Township, as soon as they go back to report the news, the people in the township will definitely be prepared." We must rush over as soon as possible and take it down before it closes, for it will be troublesome if it is closed. ”

"Well, you're right."

Zhao Tuo bowed his head, Xi Qigu was born as a township official, and he was very familiar with this aspect.

He hurriedly ordered the people to run in line with the marching army, and went straight down the road to the village.

Xiqigu's fears did not become a reality.

The township gate of Gubo Township was wide open, and a group of people were waiting there......
