"General!"

"I have always kept in mind the teachings of the general, lurking beside Touman, and being a person for Daqin. I tried to convince Touman to attack halfway and complete the task given to me by the general. ”

"When Touman saw that the situation was bad and led people to escape, I followed Touman and looked for an opportunity to cut off his head, just to give it to the general."

Yi Hanye knelt on the ground, his mouth telling about his contribution to Great Qin.

He glanced at Su Jiasha, who was smiling at the corner of his mouth next to him, and involuntarily shuddered, and added: "After I killed Touman, fortunately, Sujiasha's noble daughter arrived in time to help me solve those royal court guards, so that Touman's head could be successfully brought back and dedicated to the general." ”

Zhao Tuo's gaze looked at the faces of Yi Han Xie and Su Jiasha.

These are the two shadows he buried beside Tou Mandanyu.

Wu Sun Tzu said: There are five rooms, there are causes, there are inside, there are antis, there are deaths, and there are life. The five rooms are all up, I don't know the way, it is called the god era, and the treasure of the human king.

Zhao Tuo's control of the enemy's high-level as his own spies is exactly the inner plan of the five, and now it is used, and it has indeed done many miraculous feats, not only breaking the Huns, but even cutting off Touman's head.

The Qin State bestows knights with military merits, and meritorious service will be rewarded, these two people have made such great achievements, Zhao Tuo will naturally not swallow them.

He glanced at Ihanxie, who had both worry and longing on his face.

Zhao Tuo said lightly: "I said before that as long as you help me eliminate Touman, you will be the new Hun Shan Yu." I am the general of the Qin State, and I will not break my word and deceive you. I will hand over some of the prisoners in the army to you, and then let you collect the Huns in this steppe. ”

"In the future, you will be Shan Yu of my Great Qin subordinate state Xiongnu, and you will take care of the northern frontier for my Great Qin, how about it?"

After the translation of the food.

Ihan's face was full of ecstasy.

If it weren't for the two majestic guards guarding the general, he would have pounced on him and kissed the general's toes fiercely.

He learned the etiquette of the Qin people, kowtowed his head on the ground and said: "Yi Han Xie is willing, in the future, I, Yi Han Xie, will definitely take care of the northern frontier for Great Qin and become the most loyal dog of the general!" ”

After listening to the translator's relay, Zhao Tuo frowned and corrected: "It's not me, it's the emperor!" ”

"Yes, yes, our Huns will be the watchdogs of the Great Qin Emperor and the generals in the future, and we will never betray!"

Ihanxie smiled stammeringly, and his heart was already ecstatic.

In addition to the psychological shadow left by Zhao Tuo, becoming the new Xiongnu Shan Yu was not a reason that drove him to betray Touman.

Now that his wish has been granted, even if he is a dog for the Qin people, it is better than being like Touman and the two Gu Li kings, who are in different places.

Seeing Yi Hanxie's surrender posture, Zhao Tuo nodded with satisfaction.

Qin Shi Huang always disliked the feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty, believing that it was the source of the world's troubles, and that it would also weaken the power in the hands of the monarch, so that the central government was not like the central government, and the local government was not like the locality.

Even with it, the emperor didn't like the five suits of the Zhou Dynasty, "barbarian to serve, Rong Zhai to be deserted".

He thinks that the barbarian Rong Di is far away from the central government, and what if he lives in a poor mountainous area, why can't he let the Qin people govern it, but can only be regarded as a tributary state?

What does tributary mean?

How can there be a cool direct rule.

Therefore, Great Qin does not need a tributary state, but only needs to defeat the other party and accept it as a vassal state.

The so-called vassal state is a "vassal state" changed in the Han Dynasty to avoid Liu Bang's obscenity.

It is an administrative division set up by the central court in order to settle the barbarians, keeping its country name and the customs of the country unchanged, but it must accept the rule of the Qin officials, set up subordinate state governors, and obey the dispatch of the central government.

Before Zhao Tuo's southern expedition to Chu, Yu Yue, who was defeated, was set up as a vassal state of Qin after the war, and its monarch Yue Wang Wuyou was demoted to Yue Jun and led by the Qin people.

Now that Zhao Tuo has defeated the Xiongnu in the north, he is also ready to deal with it according to this model.

Shan Yu, the new Xiongnu with Yi Hanxie as the new appointer, gathered the disabled Xiongnu and formed a new Xiongnu under the management of Qin officials.

Let them graze in the grassland under this Yin Mountain, provide cattle, sheep and horses for Daqin, and take on the important task of guarding the northern frontier and protecting the remnants of the Xiongnu in the north, which is the so-called Hu to control Hu.

Moreover, in the time of war, the Qin army could also draw cavalry from them and use it as the Guiyi army.

However, the heart of the barbarian should not be credulous, Zhao Tuo naturally wants to prepare some preventive measures, he is ready to move a part of the Yueshi people to the foot of Yin Mountain, and share the central grassland with the new Xiongnu of Yihan Evil.

The Xiongnu and the Yueshi have never been on good terms, and in this war, the Yueshi hit the Huns hard, so it is basically impossible for the two parties to collude together, and they just use it to balance each other.

If one of them had a different heart for Great Qin, the other side would definitely not sit idly by, and with the Qin officials who were sent here to take jurisdiction and the border troops who guarded it, a situation of tripartite surveillance was reached.

"In this way, the northern frontier of Great Qin can be determined."

Zhao Tuo felt that his plan was good, and the emperor would probably agree.

After appeasing Yi Hanxie, Zhao Tuo asked him to go down to count the prisoners in the army and surrender the captured Xiongnu nobles.

Of course, he can only take some of it away, after all, when the Qin army was in class, he had to bring some of the prisoners back to Xianyang to offer a big gift of prisoners, and the fate of those people may not be good.

It wasn't until Yi Han Xie thanked him that Zhao Tuo's gaze fell on Su Jiasha.

"You know that Ihansie is my man?"

Su Jiasha bowed and said, "When he mentioned the half-crossing attack, the concubine had some guesses. When the general specially sent a messenger to send a letter to Touman, in order to prove the innocence of Yi Hanxie, it was determined. Of course, the most important thing is the head of Touman's half-crossing and the head breaking blood, which shows that this person is sent by the general. ”

Zhao Tuo nodded.

He looked at the woman in front of him with a high nose and big eyes, and his eyes were slightly blue, and asked, "Why didn't you take the opportunity to kill him?" Yi Han evil killed the head man, this is a great achievement, when you meet him, you can kill him together, take this credit alone, at that time there were all your people, you do this, no one can find out. ”

Su Jiasha said softly: "The general needs a new Xiongnu Shan Yu. As for my credit, it's enough. ”

Zhao Tuo was silent, looked at the woman in front of him seriously, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Fortunately, Su Jiasha is a woman, if she is a man, Zhao Tuo may not let it go.

Zhao Tuo praised: "Very good, you presented the Hun Qice this time, and personally led people to bring me the Huns' night attack plan, kill the Huns Zuogu Liwang at the critical moment and break the Hun army, and finally bring back the head of Huiman." Your merits should be the crown of this battle, and I deserve to be the emperor for you. You will be rewarded as you deserve. ”

Su Jiasha smiled slightly, bowed down again and said: "The merit of the concubine is not enough to worry about, I am only willing to follow the general to fight on the battlefield and expand the territory for Great Qin." ”

There was a light flashing in her eyes, and her voice was also high: "The concubine has a strategy for the Great Qin to break the Yue Clan, which can help the general destroy the Yue Clan and seize the land west of the river!" ”

Zhao Tuo was stunned, and after reacting, he did not show the look of interest that Su Jiasha imagined, but was a little excited.

He shook his head and said: "The cold winter is coming, when the river is frozen, and the grain road behind our army will be cut off." I will not go on another expedition, and I will lead a large army back to the court, so that the soldiers can also have time to rest. ”

"As for the capture of Hexi, we should not consider it until after the beginning of spring next year. The situation will be different then, and your strategy will be talked about when the time comes. And ......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Tuo said in a deep voice: "Attacking Hexi, I'm afraid it will be sent to another future." ”

The light in Sugartha's eyes dimmed.

She lowered her head and said softly, "Yes, the concubine knows." ”

Zhao Tuo bowed.

He didn't know if Su Jiasha's eagerness to offer the strategy of attacking Hexi just now was to continue to make meritorious contributions, or if there was some other purpose.

But Zhao Tuo's Northern Expedition was over.

In addition to the objective reasons that the grain road is unsustainable due to the imminent winter. The defeat of the Xiongnu and the death of Touman have achieved the goal of Zhao Tuo's Northern Expedition.

Zhao Tuo, who came from later generations, knew very well that if the Xiongnu tribe was left alone, what kind of ferocious beasts would grow in the future.

Therefore, he has always been worried, and the reason why he tried his best to promote the Northern Expedition in the court was to preemptively eliminate the Xiongnu and strangle this great trouble in China in the cradle.

Now Touman is dead, and the Xiongnu have also been crippled and accepted as the watchdog of Great Qin. Zhao Tuo was naturally greatly relieved, and his interest in continuing to fight on the battlefield and expanding his territory was not so strong.

Moreover, with Zhao Tuo's exploits in recovering Henan, breaking the Yueshi and eliminating the Xiongnu, he was named Lunhou (Guannei Hou) after returning to Xianyang.

The Marquis of Lun is a nineteenth-level title, and above is the top liehou (Che Hou).

Going from level nineteen to level twenty requires a lot of experience.

Even if Zhao Tuo broke up the royal court of the clan for one more month and occupied Hexi, it is estimated that it will not be enough to rise to the credit of becoming a liehou, so there is no need to continue to eat alone, it is better to share it with other generals.

However, none of the above is the real reason why Zhao Tuo wants to return to Xianyang.

The reason why he wanted to end this war in a hurry was because of one man.

Under Sugartha's slightly disappointed gaze.

Zhao Tuo raised his head and looked out of the tent, and a tall figure appeared in his mind.

"Emperor, Emperor, you took advantage of my absence to start repairing the palace again!"
