Chapter 101: Triumph
The army that conquered the north dispersed, and only Li Xin led thousands of people to escort the captives and captured artifacts from the Yan State and slowly marched westward.
They walked all the way along the avenue to Xianyang, with a flat river in front of them, and a thousand miles of fertile soil.
A water conservancy engineer from South Korea built a canal of more than 300 miles for the Qin State, irrigating more than 40,000 hectares of land and making Guanzhong a fertile field in the world.
At this time, it was the autumn harvest season, and the golden ears of grain bent over, and a gust of wind blew, and the fields were surging with golden waves.
The Qin people were busy working in the ground, and when they saw an army marching on the avenue, they all looked up at each other with a look of expectation in their eyes.
"The army is back!"
They were both happy and happy, firstly, because the Qin army's northern expedition had avenged the revenge of the Assassins, and secondly, because their sons were about to return. Not only the new soldiers summoned by Va Yan, but also the children of Guanzhong who were recruited when he killed Zhao had not seen their families for almost two years.
The soldiers were also very happy, and greeted those Qin fellow villagers from time to time.
After returning victorious, it was naturally not as disciplined as when they went out on the expedition, and the military officials at all levels also turned a blind eye, allowing them to exchange heads and ears and express the joy in their hearts.
"Although these women can't be touched, Naigong is not changing his title now, and he has gained a lot of money from this expedition. When you get home, you'll be able to get a bride. Hehe, I think the daughter of the prison door in our ink stone is good-looking......"
In the middle of the procession, Black Buttocks and the soldiers laughed.
Most of the people who went on this expedition won knighthoods, and the lucky ones such as Black Buttocks and Shima even jumped to the fourth level, not to mention that they were about to participate in the Xianyang sacrifice of prisoners and enjoy great honors. When I return to my hometown, I must have my ass cocked to the sky.
After laughing with the crowd, Black Buttocks turned his head to look at Shiruma behind him.
"Shetun chief, why don't you speak? You don't want to change your title now, maybe when the king finishes rewarding, you can still become a doctor, your mother must be happy to die, how to go back will marry a bride, and in two years there will be a fat boy, this is a happy death, hehehe. ”
Who knew that when Shiruma heard this, his expression suddenly turned into ice.
"Shut your mouth."
He said coldly, and with that expression, the black buttocks and the soldiers laughed in fright.
"This stinky face has no emotion at all, and if Naigong talks to him again, it's a pig!"
Black Buttocks muttered and turned his head away.
This scene was seen by Zhao Tuo, and he was thoughtful.
Since entering the customs, Shiruma's expression has not been quite right, but now that military affairs are busy and important, it is not the time to talk, so we can only wait for later.
The Qin army escorted the captives, and after walking dozens of miles, a large north-south river appeared in front of them.
The water is surging and flowing, and there is a stone pier and wooden bridge over the river that is 100 steps long and spans both sides of the river.
The wooden bridge is wide, and there are towering and delicate Huabiao on each side of the bridge.
After crossing the Baqiao, it is the place where Liu Bang marched into Xianyang in history.
At this moment, there is also a majestic army stationed on it.
They were dressed in armor, armed with spears and halberds, with bronze swords stuck in their waists, and they were lined up in full armor, and not far away they also had strong bows and crossbows.
The fluttering flags reveal their identities.
Lieutenant Army.
"It's both martial law and deterrence."
Zhao Tuo knew that although the return of their expeditionary force was to sacrifice prisoners with the king's order and Xuanhe Qinwei, it would also bring hidden risks, so the lieutenant army in charge of guarding the Beijing Division had already made all preparations, just in case.
"General Zhao Bai, the general asked you to go."
Five hundred lords, Su Jiao, rode a horse and walked in a kind voice.
"No."
Zhao Tuo replied, glanced at Su Jiao, the two of them smiled, their relationship was not what it used to be.
After handing over the military affairs of the 100-man team to Shijian, Zhao Tuo rode his horse to Li Xin's office, which had crossed the bridge.
"General."
"Zhao Tuo, you go to the station and be by my side, sharing the honor of offering prisoners."
Hearing this, Huan Zhao next to him said sourly: "General, this is not very good." When entering the city to offer prisoners, the general should stand alone in the car. Although this Zhao Tuo has merit, he is only a small hundred generals......"
"Don't be a word. The strategy of intercepting King Yan was proposed by this son, and the prince of Yan was also captured by his own hands. Zhao Tuo's credit, I know very well in my heart, he is qualified to share this glory with me. ”
Li Xin glared at Huan Zhao, stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Tuo's shoulder, the corners of his eyes were full of smiles, and his love was beyond words.
This scene made the generals envious to the extreme, and they couldn't wait to replace him.
This time when he entered the city to offer prisoners, the front of the team was naturally the general's car.
As the greatest contributor to the destruction of Zhao Poyan, Wang Jian should enjoy the most prominent honor.
After Wang Jian was Li Xin's chariot.
He will stand in the car and receive the cheers of tens of thousands of people in Xianyang City.
With the exploit of capturing Yan Dan in a raid of hundreds of miles, Li Xin will become a new hero in the eyes of the Qin man.
What a great honor, Zhao Tuo, who was standing beside him, naturally had to be noticed by others, and he followed Li Xin to enjoy all kinds of adoring eyes.
Zhao Tuo was moved in his heart, although this Li Xin had a lot of problems, he really had nothing to say to him.
"Yui."
He took a deep look, and after getting into the car, he stood on the right side of the car with a halberd and followed Li Xin.
The Qin soldiers in the rear escorted the captives slowly across the bridge.
At this moment, one of the captured Yan Palace women suddenly burst into tears.
"Born as a swallow person, died as a swallow ghost. I'd rather die than enter the Qin Palace! ”
She cried and cried, and while the guards were unprepared, she jumped straight into the water under the bridge.
The river was surging, and in the blink of an eye, it was flooded.
The soldiers exclaimed, and several crossbow arrows were fired, and a cloud of blood rose on the surface of the river.
Seeing this, the captives all began to cry again, and several of them tried to follow suit, but they were knocked to the ground on the spot.
In the rear, Yan Dan, who was tied to the chariot, was speechless, his dry eyes had long been unable to shed tears, and his blocked mouth could not say anything.
When this happened, the guards of the Qin army were stricter, driving the rear captives to cross the bridge carefully.
After a journey of more than 1,000 miles, these people had already worn out their shoes, and their feet were full of thick blood scabs, and they staggered step by step, and were driven to the outskirts of Xianyang like livestock.
"Generous and sad songs, not just men."
Zhao Tuo looked at the woman in the river and shook his head slightly.
"If Yan Guo joined forces with Zhao back then, instead of sneaking up from behind. The six nations are sincere, how can they fall into such a field? ”
The small episode did not affect the excitement inside and outside Xianyang at the moment.
Tens of thousands of people gathered on the outskirts of Xianyang, cheering and watching the captives from Yan and the artifacts captured in the rear.
These people include nearby Shiwu farmers, as well as residents who want to get a sneak peek out of the city.
They were extremely excited, shouting and shouting, and stretched out their fingers to point at the ministers and doctors of the Yan Kingdom, the nobles of the clan, and the women from the Yan Palace.
Of course, the most pointed is at the man who was tied to the chariot.
"He is the prince of Yan Kingdom, I'm bah!"
"Dare to send assassins to assassinate my king, you should be killed!"
"The car cracks him, and whoever offends my king will be cracked!"
In the string of angry scolding, there are also all kinds of excited admiration.
"Mighty, General Wang!"
"Brave, General Lee!"
"General Li, it's really my Qin State Pillar Shiye!"
"The young man beside General Li is so heroic!"
"They are all heroes of my Qin country, if Naigong has a daughter, he must marry such a young man."
The praise was endless.
When the Qin army escorted the Yan captives into Xianyang City, the tens of thousands of people who welcomed them shouted loudly, and the boys jumped up excitedly, looking at the heroes they revered the most.
"We should be like General Li when we join the army!"
There was a sound of gold in the city.
Under the personal auspices of Feng Chang, one of the nine Qings, many musicians began to ring the bell according to the score.
On the way to Xianyang Palace, the Qin soldiers in armor and holding swords surrounded both sides, accompanied by the majestic golden sound, striking the shield with their swords, stepping on the ground with their feet, and singing majestic hymns.
"It's clearly below, Hehe is above. The king ordered the general to conquer the Yan side. Wang Fen Wu, like a shock and anger. Pudun North City, still clinging to the ugly. Intercept the other place, the place of the king's teacher. ”
"Wang Lu is like flying. Such as the river is like the Han, like the bud of the mountain. Unexpectedly, the Yan country. Wang Yu Yunsai, Yan Fang came. The northern captives have been destroyed, and the work of the Son of Heaven has been achieved. ”
The sound of the war song was like thunder, and it was inspiring.
Under the mighty singing, the Yan captives trembled, their faces turned pale, and the higher the Qin people's voices, the more their bodies were paralyzed.
The Qin soldiers straightened their backs one by one, shouted with the mountain, and strode forward, enjoying the glory that belonged to them.
On the chariot, Li Xin's face was red and trembling with excitement.
Zhao Tuo stood beside him, feeling the reverent gaze of countless people.
Male or female, old or young.
At this moment, Zhao Tuo also became a hero in the eyes of the Qin people.
Zhao Tuo raised his head and looked to the north.
The majestic Xianyang Palace.
The king is on top.
