Chapter 570: Take Henan

To the south of the Helan grassland, a vast flat land near the Great River.

The tents here are continuous, and the black Qin flag flutters in the wind.

Soldiers dressed in Qin armor went in and out of the camp.

There was a team of Qin soldiers leading the war horses and walking outside the camp, they were going to carry out today's patrol mission.

"I heard that the general won a big battle in Helan, and tens of thousands of people of the Guishuangyue clan were directly taken by our army. Tsk, the general is really worthy of being a famous general of our Qin State, not only is it powerful to fight the six countries in the east, but it is also easy to clean up these barbarians on the grassland. ”

The leader of the Qin Army, said as he walked, his face full of admiration.

Another Qin pawn next to him followed with a smile: "That's great, it's good to end the war early, let's go home, I have long missed the woman at home." ”

"Hmph, women will only affect our belief in meritorious service, what is there to think."

A bearded Qin pawn complained: "I originally planned to work hard to kill the enemy on the battlefield, raise the title to the hairpin, and also let my own cub enter the school room to mix the background of an official." I didn't know that I hadn't even fought a battle this time, but I was really angry. If I go out on patrol this time, it would be nice if I happened to catch the Yue Clan cavalry who had escaped, as long as I caught two, I would be promoted to the hairpin! ”

Qin Jun Shi turned around and sneered: "Shi Er, don't be delusional, except that at the beginning, there were people from the Yue Clan who didn't open their eyes and bumped into them, and they were picked up by the patrolling robes. During this time, how could the people of the Yue clan come over to give us the opportunity to be promoted to the knighthood, they are not stupid, after hearing that our army is blocked here, they have already run away. ”

Shi Er shut up, he really hadn't heard of the approach of the Yue Clan's rout during this time, and their patrol mission was actually just a formality.

In the Qin army, some people wanted to make meritorious contributions to the enemy and improve their titles, while others only hoped that the war would end as soon as possible and they could return to their hometowns. But no matter what kind of thoughts these Qin soldiers had in their hearts, their faces were relaxed one by one, and they couldn't see the vigilance and vigilance in wartime at all.

It's just because they have already received the news of the victory of the main force of the Qin army in Helan.

The three Yue clans in Henan were crippled and wiped out in the first battle of the Shuangmi Clan, and the Guishan tribe was now broken by the main force in the Helan grassland, leaving only the last Xiu Miyue clan to survive in the north, and they couldn't reach them at all.

As for the Yue Clan's royal court in Hexi and the remaining two Yue clans, according to the cavalry of the Qin army, they were still hundreds of miles away, and they had no intention of coming to the rescue.

Therefore, the Qiang army basically has no chance to fight, and the Qin army is very lazy.

I heard that their Qiang general drank with people all day long, killing time, and he didn't pay much attention to his soldiers.

"Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo, you have made a great contribution!"

In the coach's tent, Qiang Qi held the wine and handed it to his mouth, and drank it in one gulp, drunk and hazy.

Zhao Tuo's Helan victory announced the end of this campaign to capture Henan, and before the start of a new war, Qiang had no possibility of meritorious service, which was equivalent to the wind that he had blown here for several months.

How could Qiang Yan not be angry in his heart, and while letting his nephew Qiang Ren pour wine, he complained in his mouth.

"At the beginning, I had a grudge with Zhao Tuo because of Li Xin's matter, thinking that he was young, so I didn't bother to pay attention to him, how did I know that he killed the Qiang dagger when he changed hands in Weidi, and didn't give me any face."

"Later, I looked at the face of Wucheng Hou, and I didn't want to worry too much about him, but this kid went to attack Huaiyin under my banner, and almost lost my reputation as a Qiang, which was very bad."

Qiang Qi poured another sip of wine, spat out a strong smell of wine and said: "I, Qiang Qi, is broad-minded, not as knowledgeable as him Zhao Tuo, and in the face of his bullying, I have also backed down many times. Later, he asked for Princess Shang, and those Confucian scholars said that they would not marry with the same surname, and I also helped him speak. This expedition is even more to support his Northern Expedition Hu people's strategy. ”

"You said that I was so good to him, why did he Zhao Tuo bully me like this! Not a son of man, really not a son of man! ”

Qiang Ren's face turned blue, he looked left and right, and saw that there were only him and Qiang Yan's two uncles and nephews in the tent, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

It is a great crime to slander the general in private!

If it spreads, at least the title must be cut off, and if Zhao Tuo is very angry, even if he beheads the Qiang, no one will say anything.

Qiang Ren's heart trembled when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Uncle, you're drunk." ”

Qiang's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Drunk? What a drunk! ”

"Naigong is very sober, Naigong scolds him Zhao Tuo, this son swallows a lot of merit alone, and throws me here to guard what river, how hateful! If he Zhao Tuo still has some conscience, at least give me a credit! ”

Just when Qiang Ren was frightened by this complaint, there was a rush of footsteps outside the tent.

Immediately afterwards, some of Qiang's short-term cronies walked into the tent excitedly, and shouted excitedly: "General! Great work! Here's the time! ”

"Great merit, what great merit can be, can you still send me the Marquis of the Yue Clan over?"

Hearing this, Qiang sneered, pointed to the empty wine glass to his nephew, and scolded: "What are you doing in a daze, pouring wine." ”

The short soldier shouted excitedly: "It's the Marquis!" Our patrolling cavalry found someone who might be the Marquis of Yueshi! Dressed in a big red robe and wearing a golden crown, he was surrounded by hundreds of cavalry and ran over, and when he saw our patrol cavalry, he fled in a hurry! Sima said that only the Marquis of the Yue clan wears a golden crown and wears a big red robe, and this person is likely to be the Marquis of the Yue clan, who did not go north after the battle of Helan, but ran to our side! ”

Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then excitedly overturned the wine case in front of him, and the flying wine sprinkled Qiang Ren's face.

He laughed and said, "Hahaha, God bless me with Qiang!" This really sent a marquis to me, Zhao Tuo, you didn't expect it, right? ”

Saying that, Qiang Qi got up, ran out of the tent crookedly, and shouted in his mouth: "Come on, quickly order all the soldiers and horses for me, I will surround and intercept me, and I must arrest this Yue's Marquis!" ”

"Zhao Tuo, if you don't give me credit, you will send me your own credit to the door, and when I catch this Xihou, you will be surprised!"

"Hahaha!"

……

"This Qiang fistula, why was it still played by the Yue's people."

In the big tent of the coach on the Helan grassland, Zhao Tuo threw the letter in his hand on the case, his face full of disgust.

This is a military intelligence letter sent by the Qin army's partial division from the south.

It wasn't written by the master of the teacher, he probably didn't have the face to write to Zhao Tuo.

The person who reported was the superintendent of the army, and briefly recounted what happened to the partial division.

A man dressed in a big red robe and wearing a golden crown on his head, suspected to be the Marquis of the Yue Clan, appeared near the Qin army's partial division led by Qiang with a team of Yue's cavalry.

After receiving this news, the drunken Qiang had no time to think, and immediately led the army to pursue him.

The entire Qin army was in an excited commotion, the cavalry was exhausted, and the infantry also dispatched a lot to encircle and intercept the fleeing Marquis of Yueshi, which led to a flaw in the original defense line.

As a result, just when Qiang was about to catch the "Marquis of the Yue Clan", an elite Yue cavalry of several hundred people raided the defense line of the Qin army at night, and under the cover of the night and the consternation of the Qin people, they quickly broke through the defense line and disappeared without a trace, and it seemed that they should have gone to the Yue Clan's royal court.

When Qiang Qi worked the grassland and finally caught the escaped "Yue's Marquis", he knew that he had fallen into the Yue's people's transfer of the tiger from the mountain, and Li Dai's plan was to catch a fake Marquis.

The real Hou Mi Xi has already taken the opportunity to run away.

Zhao Tuo shook his head helplessly, and asked Xiao He to copy the letter sent by the Imperial History of the Prison Army into the battle report to be sent to Xianyang.

He won't maliciously target the Qiang, he will just tell the truth.

"Run, run, just let this Xiu Mi Xi Marquis bring the power of my Qin army back to the Yue Clan, and scare the remaining Yue Clan."

Zhao Tuo can see it, he can't catch it if he runs away anyway, so it's better to think of something happy.

Moreover, the three Yue Clans were either annihilated or subdued by the Qin army in Henan, and the entire Yue Clan lost nearly half of its troops, which can be described as a great loss of vitality, and the remnants of Hexi are not to be feared.

Zhao Tuo's gaze temporarily moved away from Yue's body.

In the following time, he did not immediately start attacking the Xiongnu, but let Yang Yuanbu continue to strictly guard the northern river and cut off all sources of information from the Xiongnu.

On the other hand, it is necessary to select suitable candidates to carry out the plan to exterminate the Hungarians.

At the same time, the subdued Yueshi cavalry and the Qin cavalry were dispatched to attack in Henan on all four routes, and all the Rong tribes in this vast grassland were subdued.

The Qin army planted the black Qin flag belonging to the Qin State in every oasis and lake, so that every foreign tribe in this land would submit to the Qin State and accept the rule of the Great Qin Emperor.

By the end of August, the Qin army had finally completed the task of taking Henan and occupied the vast land surrounded by the Yellow River.

When Zhao Tuo was in full swing and preparing to cross the north to attack the Xiongnu in the future, he also took all the results of Henan and sent a messenger to report back to Xianyang.

"The emperor will be very happy to open up territory for him."

Zhao Tuo stood at the door of the handsome tent, facing the autumn wind of hunting, looking in the direction of Xianyang.

He thought of the First Emperor.

The princess came to mind.

His heart softened.

"And my son."

Zhao Tuo muttered, thinking of the letter the princess had sent last time.

"Zhao Che, what a good name."

There will be three more tomorrow, make up for the last time.
