The general Zhao Tuo broke the Hu people in northern Xinjiang, killed the Xiongnu Shan Yu and his left and right valley Li kings, and the news of the complete restoration of the homeland of Zhuxia reached the ears of the first emperor.

The first emperor was happy, issued an edict on the spot, praised it, and spread it to the world, and preached the martial arts of the Qin State to the head of the sea and Qian.

After approving the return of the Northern Expedition Army, he asked Wang Juan, the left prime minister who stayed in Xianyang, to be responsible for the triumph of the army.

Then, the First Emperor continued his journey to the west.

After all, the emperor's plan cannot be changed, and the emperor's will is the most important task of the country.

The emperor drove west from Yongcheng, crossed the water of Weiwei, sacrificed to the ancestral spirits along the way, and declared to the Qin Gong of the past dynasties that the first emperor fought hard in the world and made merits in one room.

The first emperor held a grand ceremony to worship the ancestors of Qin in Qinyi, the ancestral land of Qin.

"My ancestor is not a son, raising horses for King Zhou Xiao, Ma Dafan rests, and King Zhou Xiao is happy. It said: Xi Bo Peng is the main animal of Shun, and the livestock is restless, so there is soil, and the surname is Ying. Now and the future generations will also be the horses of the horses, and the land of the land will be vassals. The Qin of the old town, so that the resumption of the Ying family's ritual, called Qin Ying. ”

After the sacrifice was completed, the First Emperor looked at the small temple in front of him, which was not tall and was dedicated to Qin Feizi, and was a little stunned.

Qinyi is small and desolate, with only a few hundred Qin families living here.

Although this is the ancestral land of the Qin people, with the eastward shift of the center of gravity of the Qin State over the past few hundred years, coupled with the rise in the status of the old capital Yongcheng, few Qin monarchs have taken Qin Yi to heart.

The Huahua World in the east has long been blinded by the eyes of the Qin people, and no one wants to look at this remote town, even if it is their ancestral land.

Even the First Emperor, if he hadn't realized that his merits were far beyond those of the ancients, and he wanted to show off in front of his ancestors, I am afraid he would not have come here.

"The ancestor of my province began to rise from this small town, with Qin as the clan, the blue wisps of the road, and the Rong people fought in the world, and then laid a huge Qin soil step by step."

The First Emperor whispered softly, this is the starting point of Qin.

And he is the apex of Qin.

The First Emperor stood here, looking at the small Qin Yi in front of him, and his heart was a little agitated.

"It was here that my ancestor got the clan of Qin, and got rid of the Zhao clan who was called the father when he was lowly."

The First Emperor remembered an old incident.

Qin and Zhao were originally the same family, Qin Zhi was the eldest son of Fei Lian, the minister of Yin Shang, and Zhao Zhi was the second son of Fei Lian, Ji Sheng.

When the Zhou people destroyed the Shang, the evil came and resisted stubbornly and was killed by the Zhou people, so the ancestors of the Qin State were humble in the Zhou Dynasty.

And Ji Sheng belonged to the Zhou people, and his descendants made their fathers to rely on the art of horse control to be favored by King Mu of Zhou, and were sealed in Zhao City, and his descendants took Zhao as his clan.

At that time, the ancestors of the Zhao people were developed, and the ancestors of the Qin people were humble, so the ancestors of the Qin people went to seek refuge with their relatives of the same clan with a shy face, and used the "Zhao" clan together to elevate their status.

That kind of fraudulent use of other people's clans was not over until Qin Feizi was sealed in Qinyi by King Zhou Xiao by relying on his horse breeding.

Qin and Zhao, one is developed by raising horses, and the other is developed by relying on royal horses, this is really a family.

When the First Emperor thought of the Zhao family, he thought of the heroic young man.

The man who never let him down.

"Qin and Zhao are both surnamed Ying, and they were one family eight hundred years ago, and Qin was attached to Zhao. Eight hundred years later, it is also a family, Zhao He is in Qin, this is the destiny of heaven? ”

The First Emperor took a deep breath, he hadn't seen him for a year, and he really missed that kid a little.

The mind of the Western Tour was much lighter.

The First Emperor looked at the courtiers who were standing respectfully behind him.

"The sacrifice is over, let's go back to Xianyang."

He looked sideways to the north, as if he could cross the mountains and rivers, and saw the team marching towards Xianyang in the field.

"I'm going to wait for him in Xianyang!"

……

After nearly two months of trekking, the Northern Expeditionary Army from the Northwest Saiwai Prefecture marched south along Jingshui from Beidi County towards Xianyang.

However, like the previous process of the Qin army's triumph, it was naturally impossible for such a large number of troops to be allowed to approach the imperial capital.

In the vicinity of the army's entry into Neishiqi County, an envoy from Xianyang collected the tiger talisman in Zhao Tuo's hands and began to divide the army in its place.

Except for the 5,000 Guanzhong people who escorted the captives into Xianyang to take prisoners, the armies of the rest of the counties were to disperse here, led by the county lieutenants and other generals of their respective counties, bypassing Xianyang by other roads and returning to their original places.

Of course, the Qin army that returned this time was not all when they went out, in addition to the war dead, Zhao Tuo also left a small group of troops led by Sima Liang and stayed in Saibei to garrison.

Although it was a bit cruel to those Qin soldiers, it was something that could not be avoided, and I could only hope that after the beginning of spring, the newly recruited Qin army would replace those soldiers as soon as possible.

However, Zhao Tuo's humane consideration of climate adaptation, most of the people who stayed in Hetao to garrison were people from the northern counties, after all, the Qin people in the southern counties were easy to adapt to the water and soil there, and increased casualties in vain.

Under such circumstances, the group of rangers from Surabaya County will naturally be able to return to their hometown with honor.

"I once heard that there is a saying that is spread in the prime minister's side, called wealth does not return to the hometown, such as embroidering clothes at night!"

Wang Suo stretched out his palm, which was frozen to only four fingers, patted Xi Juan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Let's follow the general to fight outside the fortress for more than half a year, this time we can finally return to our hometown, we are both not changing now, and we will definitely be Qin officials when we go back!" ”

Xi Juan shook his hand with only three fingers left, pointed to Wang Ling, who was packing his bags next to him, and said enviously: "The eldest brother killed a little noble Hun when he was defending at night, relying on that guy's head, and now he is a doctor, if you want to go back and forth, you can go to the county to be a big official, and we will have to rely on the eldest brother when the time comes." ”

"Yes, the eldest brother is already famous in Pei County, and now he has the title of doctor, I think he can make a county leader."

Wang Su also nodded, his face full of envy.

Wang Ling smiled and said arrogantly: "When I go back, I will do a good job to ensure that you can all get a satisfactory position." Xi Juan, don't you want to be the head of the Surabaya Pavilion? When the time comes, I will let you go! ”

Xi Juan was overjoyed and said: "The Surabaya Pavilion is close to my home, if you can go to the other place to be the pavilion chief, it would be great, thank you brother." ”

The king shouted, "And me, I'm going to make a lidian!" ”

"Okay, okay, no problem, when my Dr. Wang Ling returns to Pei County, it will be different from the past!"

Wang Ling puffed up his chest, his whole body was full of spirit, and his head was full of scenes of doing a lot of work in the officialdom of Pei County.

These three former rangers, after having a not low title, never said a word about the bad of the Qin State.

I can't remember all kinds of brave and ruthless deeds they once had.

Just when the low-level soldiers were ready to return to their hometowns with the joy of being knighted.

General Zhao Tuo was also telling Zhao Guang, the lieutenant of Surabaya County, who was about to go back, about to do something.

The military system of the Qin army was that troops were conscripted from various counties during the war, and these local armies were generally led by the county lieutenants of their respective counties, or officials such as county lieutenants and Simas, according to their numbers, and at the end of the war, they brought them back.

Zhao Guang is a veteran under Zhao Tuo, although he did not make any miracles in this Northern Expedition, but it can be regarded as a steady and steady battle, and it is definitely no problem to be promoted to a knight when Xianyang is rewarded, and now he is about to lead the soldiers of Surabaya County to leave here.

"Pay more attention to the Xiang family's people, especially Xiang Qu's younger brother Xiang Liang, and Xiang Qu's son Xiang Ji, I want to know their current situation. When it comes time to migrate in the future, these two will have to watch closely! ”

"In addition, Xiao Han Xin over there in Huaiyin, you also have to pay more attention to me, give me this book to him, and say that it is a gift from me."

Zhao Tuo smiled and handed a tightly wrapped box to Zhao Guang.

Inside are some of the battlefield experiences he has learned in the past few years in the southern and northern wars, with Han Xin's understanding, I think I will gain a lot after reading it.

When the other party grows up a little longer and is no longer a little child, Zhao Tuo can consider taking him to his side.

"Don't worry, the general will be delivered."

Zhao Guang respectfully took the box and responded in a deep voice.

Zhao Tuo nodded with satisfaction.

He finally felt the benefits of his protégé being a local magistrate outside, and he could accomplish many things that were inconvenient for him.

Now that the Hu Trouble that threatens the Central Plains has been solved, Zhao Tuo can also put his mind at ease, turn his eyes back to China, and begin to solve those potential hidden dangers, such as those anti-Qin pillars who have not yet been caught in Guanzhong.

The Xiang clan is under the jurisdiction of Surabaya County, and the Xiang clan is actually under the rule of Zhao Guang.

If Zhao Tuo was a little impulsive, he could even let Zhao Guang directly destroy the Xiang family.

But Zhao Tuo still endured this thought.

Because Zhao Guang is only a county lieutenant, not the boss of Surabaya County, there is a county guard on his head who is watching, and there is a county supervisor next to him staring.

Some minor problems are nothing, but if the dignified county lieutenant goes to plot against a local big clan, it will be easy for him to be planted in the Qin Fa, and it seems that the gains outweigh the losses.

Not to mention that the power of the Qin State is not strong in the homeland of the Six Kingdoms, and the actual rule is actually not able to go down to the countryside, so it is so easy to move the head snake Xiang clan of the prime minister, I am afraid that as soon as you move here, people have already received the news.

So Zhao Tuo doesn't need to startle the snake, just need to know more about the other party's movements.

In Zhao Tuo's view, the Xiang family will have to enter Xianyang sooner or later, and there is no need to take any big waves.

Compared with Xiang's, what Zhao Tuo cares about is actually another person.

Zhao Tuo turned his head sideways, looked in the direction of Xianyang, and spoke gently.

"Emperor, Emperor, I'm back!"

The next chapter is a marquis.,In addition, the name of the marquis hasn't thought it's good.,But there's a good recommendation? If you don't, you'll have to play freely.

The names of the three Lunhou recorded during the Qin Shi Huang period are as follows: Jiancheng Hou, Changwu Hou, and Wuxin Hou.

It should bring a martial character.
