In the twenty-eighth year of Qin Shi Huang, the month of winter.

Xianyang City, which had been tired for nearly a year in various large-scale construction projects, suddenly became lively, and countless Qin people were excitedly talking about the same thing, and they were all telling the same name.

General Daqin, Zhao Tuo!

This young general led the Qin army on an expedition to Saiwai, killed Chief Hu, opened up the territory, and brought great glory to the Qin State.

And today is the day when the general took the Northern Expedition soldiers to triumph.

Outside Xianyang City, there are crowds of people.

The Qin people in the nearby townships, as well as the residents of Xianyang City, all came early in the morning and waited here.

Among the crowd are the famous nobles of Xianyang, as well as the powerful and powerful people in the nearby townships, and even many Qiantou who are poor and thinly dressed.

They stomped their feet, rubbed their hands red from the cold, and waited one by one with anticipation, waiting for the return of the heroes of the Qin State with full expectations.

"I heard that the land that the general has conquered this time is as big as several internal histories, and he can set up several counties there!"

"What's the use, I heard that most of those places are the Gobi and the desert, the desolate ones don't even there, and the land is only a few fertile pieces. In my opinion, the most important thing for the general to go on this expedition is to defeat those barbaric Hu people, arrest the Marquis of the Yue clan, kill the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and completely solve the border troubles of our Qin State, so that in the future, there is no need to worry about those Hu people crossing the Great Wall to harass the frontier, this is the general's greatest achievement! ”

"Anyway, the general has made a great contribution, and he will definitely be able to make a marquis!"

"Fenghou!"

The Qin people talked to each other, expressing the joy and joy in their hearts with the words in their mouths.

Under the expectant gaze, from the direction of the west, a black-armored army that had been baptized by the wind and frost outside the fortress was stepping on the drumbeat pace, along the newly built galloping road, and walking towards Xianyang City in a neat and orderly manner.

Zhao Tuo sat on a snow-white warhorse, looking at the towering city in the distance and the dense human heads, he couldn't help but feel emotion in his heart, and whispered to himself.

"Xianyang, I'm back!"

Zhao Tuo's heart, although it was still on the horse, had already drifted to Xianyang City and to the person he missed.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless.

Zhao Tuo's body lives with a soul from the afterlife, which should be incompatible with this era, but after so many years of life, he has successfully integrated into it.

And here, settled his home.

He had a wife, a son, and a father-in-law who was called the Emperor of the Ages.

And this, the country he fought all his life and fought with his own hands.

The emotional bond has long bound Zhao Tuo and this country deeply, and once he travels far away, he will naturally miss it.

Emperor.

Princess.

And my son.

Zhao Tuo's eyes were blazing, and he couldn't wait to whip his horse and whip, and immediately rushed into the city to meet the person he wanted to see.

On the side, one of the heroes of the Northern Expedition, Su Jiasha, the noble daughter of the Yue clan who was specially summoned to Xianyang by the emperor, was looking at the incomparably magnificent and glorious city in front of her with curiosity and awe.

"The number of Qin people is really large."

Su Jiasha was first surprised by the crowded Qin figure in the distance, thousands of them, densely packed.

She knew that these people were only a small part of the entire Xianyang City, and Xianyang was a city under the thirty-six counties of the Qin State, so by extension, how terrifying the population of the Qin State should be.

Immediately afterwards, Su Jiasha's beautiful eyes were attracted by the towering and majestic palace outside Xianyang City, north and south of the Wei River.

"That's what it is...... The Emperor's Palace? ”

If the number of Qin people only surprised Sujiasha, then on both sides of the Wei River, a series of splendid and tall palace complexes shocked her.

The Yueshi were nomadic peoples, but like the Huns, they also built cities.

It's just Zhaowu City, which the Yue people are proud of, but it is about the same size as Yiqu City in Beidi County, and compared to the magnificent Xianyang, it is simply a small broken village in the countryside, and it is not a level at all.

As for the palace, it is impossible to compare.

Zhao Tuo, who was full of thoughts, was awakened by Su Jiasha's admiration, and he looked into the distance expressionlessly.

Because the Qin army came from the northwest, the terrain was slightly higher, and it was just right to see the palace group in your eyes.

On the north bank of Weishui is the huge Xianyang Palace City.

Outside the palace city, there is a continuous and different appearance of the palace of the six countries in the place of Kitasaka, and its palace houses belong to the Zhou Pavilion, which is very luxurious and magnificent.

As for the south bank of Weishui, in addition to the Zhangtai Palace and Bushou Palace that have been repaired before.

Zhao Tuo saw a tall palace standing again, although it was not close, but just looking at the scale of its area, he knew that this was an incomparably luxurious palace, and there was a long road outside the palace, leading directly to the direction of Lishan.

If you want to build such a huge palace, I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be spent.

Zhao Tuo was very distressed when he saw it, and couldn't help but scold: "Loser!" ”

However, compared to Zhao Tuo's resentment, Su Jiasha, who came here for the first time, looked at the magnificent palace cities in the distance, and her face was shocked, as if she was looking at a miracle.

In the team, those Xiongnu and Yueshi nobles who came to Xianyang with the army this time also saw the towering and tall cities and palaces in the distance, and they all shouted in shock, like a group of hillbillies entering the city.

Su Jiasha looked at Zhao Tuo and exclaimed: "General, the concubine today knows the power and majesty of Great Qin, such a magnificent palace and city, it can be called a wonder of the world!" ”

Spectacle!

Hearing this, the corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth twitched slightly.

The palace complex built by the first emperor to recruit a large number of Qianshou and prisoners, in addition to satisfying his personal habits, I am afraid that the only benefit is probably this.

Increases cultural bonuses.

It caused a spiritual shock to the common people and foreign barbarians.

"Wonders......"

He sighed with Sugasha, thinking that this first emperor had created many wonders in history.

Great wall.

Terracotta.

Straight road.

The Twelve Golden Men ...... Oh, this one is gone.

Which of these wonders did not cost a lot of manpower and material resources.

Zhao Tuo shook his head, stepped forward, and led the army straight to Xianyang.

The distress and dissatisfaction he felt when he saw the palace complex had already dissipated when he arrived on the outskirts of Xianyang.

Because the Qin people waiting here were too enthusiastic, the scene full of joy was enough to eliminate all the negative energy in his heart.

The cheers shook the earth.

A sound of "General" echoed over the entire Xianyang City.

Countless people cheered, and some knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Tuo and Qin Jun to express their respect.

"General! The Admiral is back! ”

In the crowd, a bearded man screamed the loudest.

His eyes were blazing as he stared at the young general on the white horse in the distance, and he was actually a little wet.

"For the fifth time!"

"The first time was with the triumph of General Wang Yan, standing on General Li Xin's chariot, when he was still a young man. The second time was to fight the last battle and lead thousands of soldiers to return safely. The third time was to return with the old general Wang to destroy Chu and stand on the old general's chariot. The fourth time was after the destruction of the dynasty and the destruction of Qi, he personally escorted the three kings into Qin. ”

"This time, it's the fifth!"

"No, there's still Princess Shang."

"General, I've watched you grow up with my own eyes, woo woo ......"

In the midst of countless cheers, Zhao Tuo's mood also became happy, holding his head up, enjoying the glory that belonged to him.

This time, because it was a conquest of the grassland, it was because the cavalry broke the enemy. In addition, Zhao Tuo made the three treasures of the cavalry, and in the future, he intended to eliminate the chariot militarily and tilt the resources towards the cavalry.

Therefore, Zhao Tuo's triumph this time gave up riding a chariot and chose to ride a horse, which was also a signal.

However, the white horse with a high saddle, coupled with the heroic and handsome young general on horseback, coupled with the thousands of heroic warriors following behind him, made the whole scene extremely majestic and majestic.

Su Jiasha, who followed behind Zhao Tuo on horseback, also attracted the attention of many Qin people, and her peculiar Yue's costume was different from that of the Qin people, and it was also eye-catching.

It's just that Su Jiasha didn't care about the words of those Qin people, her eyes looked at the back of the general in front of her, a little confused.

She followed those Qin people in her heart.

"General."

The eyes are also blurred, and outside Xianyang City, with the right prime minister Kui, the left prime minister Wang Juan went out of the city to greet Li Si.

He stood in the queue of ministers and ministers, looking at the young general who was riding a horse, the beard on his chin trembling slightly.

Li Si thought of his son, Li You, the lieutenant of Shu County, who was fighting in the southwest.

Some time ago, the news said that Li You had won many battles in the southwest, burned the mountains and set fire all the way, and the southwestern Yi people who beat him were holding their heads and running away, and the five-foot road of the Qin army had been almost repaired to the vicinity of the Dian Kingdom.

Calculate the time, I'm afraid the latest news will arrive in a few days.

Judging from the previous performance, it must have been Li You who broke the Dian Kingdom and captured the King of Dian and returned.

At that time, maybe his son of Li Si can also ride a white horse, and walk in the cheers of the crowd, showing a heroic posture.

His son is out of the ordinary, and he can climb to the pinnacle of glory with his military exploits, which is also his Li Si's dream.

Thinking of this, Li Si looked at the general's gaze and became a little confused.

It was as if Li You's face was overlapping with the young general on horseback.

My son, it should be like this.

"We welcome the return of the General!"

The two prime ministers of the Qin State saluted Zhao Tuo with hundreds of officials and ministers.

"The princes are very polite."

Zhao Tuo and the ministers returned the salute and said congratulatory polite words to each other.

It's just that the two prime ministers are fine, Zhao Tuo mainly felt that the court captain's gaze was a little abnormal, and he had goosebumps all over his body.

"Isn't this Li Si a special hobby?"

Zhao Tuo muttered in his heart, reluctantly said hello to Li Si, and then, under the guidance of the hundred officials, he began to lead the army into Xianyang City and carry out the next step of the process.

As in the past, in Xianyang City, both sides of the road were also full of excited and cheering Qin people.

Heavily armed armor soldiers sang a rousing song of triumph to welcome the return of the general.

In the Xianyang Palace, the solemn sound of bells and drums is spreading.

Zhao Tuo has already experienced it several times, although he can't do Gujing Wubo, but his face is calm.

But Fan Hao and Cao Shen, who were riding horses and holding halberds, and guarding behind him, were already excited and couldn't help themselves.

From the common people of Qian, to the hundreds of officials and ministers in the court, all the way to Xianyang, the entire capital of Qin, they are all welcoming their triumph!

It was a glory they had never imagined.

"I'm a dog butcher, my status is low, and it's not worth mentioning. It was the general who conscripted me into battle from thousands of miles away, and treated me with the courtesy of a soldier, and now he has given me more glory than anything else. ”

"Such kindness, I will never fail the general in this life, and my life is the general's!"

Fan Xu lowered his head and kept talking, venting the excitement in his heart.

The only thing he can repay Zhao Tuo is his life.

Although Cao Shen next to him was not as excited as Fan Xu, his face was also red.

The so-called soldiers die for their confidants, and the generals give them too much.

It's just a life, and it should be handed over to the general forever.

In addition to Fan Xu and Cao Shen, Chen Ping also followed Zhao Tuo for the first time to participate in a triumphal ceremony of this level.

Even if he is thoughtful on weekdays, but after all, he is young, and in the face of this kind of national-level triumphal ceremony, he can't help but feel the excitement in his heart, and he only feels that his whole body is boiling.

This is the glory that men should enjoy!

Men fight hard and enjoy the glory of triumph.

It is far better than him Chen Pingwo in the small countryside of Yangwu County, ten million times better.

If this continues, the "ambition to dominate the world" in his dream is not impossible to realize.

After being excited, Chen Ping looked at Li Shiqi next to him, and saw that this old man's face was calm, and his face was light and light.

Chen Ping couldn't help asking: "Isn't Mr. Li excited about such a triumphant ceremony?" ”

Li Shiqi blinked, and said casually: "Get used to it, follow the general, this thing often happens." ”

Chen Ping's face froze, and then he slapped his thigh, eager to strangle himself, and his heart was full of remorse.

Knowing this, he should have hugged the other party's thigh tightly and followed Zhao Tuo all the way when Zhao Tuo was still a five-hundred-hundred-hundred-hundred-hundred-hundred-hundred-hundred-hundred-hundred-hundred

Compared to the hearts of several strategists and generals, the hearts were stirred.

Su Jiasha looked at the entire Xianyang City more.

The grand layout of the city, criss-crossing streets, the middle avenue is nearly forty paces wide, allowing seven or eight horse-drawn carriages to gallop in parallel, and the buildings on both sides indicate the prosperity of the city.

Most of the Qin people standing on both sides of the city and shouting were ruddy-faced, dressed in silk clothes and shoes, and their mental and physical appearance was very good, reflecting that the living conditions of these residents of the imperial capital were very good.

Far more than the steppe!

Just as Sugartha had always imagined.

In front of Great Qin, whether it was the Yue clan or the Xiongnu, they were nothing more than savage tribes in the wilderness.

Only here is where the civilization of the whole world lies.

Sugartha's gaze moved to the general in front of her again.

She likes to watch this man ride a horse, even if it's just his back, she can never get enough of it.

Only this time, her gaze was a little confused.

Not far ahead, she saw a magnificent carriage parked on the side of the road, guarded by armor-clad warriors, separating the crowd from the crowd.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a woman in a fine dress could be seen in the carriage watching the white horse general through the carriage, and a little boy was still in the woman's arms.

The general's horse stopped, and he sat on it, his head tilted slightly, looking at the woman and the child in the carriage.

Sugartha couldn't see the general's face, but she could see the woman in the car with a bright smile and a beautiful appearance.

Sugartha looked silently to the other side.

Fortunately, the triumphant procession did not stop here, and soon crossed the splendid carriage and continued on its way.

As she staggered with the carriage, Sugartha couldn't help but look over.

The Northern Expedition army soon walked through the wide streets of Xianyang City, and the victory ceremony came to an end.

Next, they sent the Xiongnu nobles and Toumandan Yu who were captured in the war to Zongmiao to sacrifice their prisoners together with the heads of the two kings of Guli.

After the ceremony, the First Emperor issued an order.

"Chief Hu's head, hang it in the north, in order to raise Qin Wei!"

Head hangs in the north!

The head Manshan Yu, who had been air-dried, was hung in the north of the Qin Palace together with the heads of his two Gu Li kings, hanging their heads on the top, so that all the people passing by here could look up and "see" their ugly faces.

Such a scene made several Xiongnu nobles who followed the Northern Expedition into the court this time tremble with fright.

After seeing the prosperity of the Great Qin Imperial Capital, and seeing his own lonely head hanging on the city gate, that feeling made these Huns deeply feel their insignificance.

And understood a truth.

Fighting against Daqin and hanging his head in the north is the final end.

With the end of the victory and the sacrifice of the prisoners, this triumphal ceremony will enter the most important and most anticipated part of the process.

Drink to, Shejue, Cexun.

On meritorious deeds, a feast is held to celebrate.

"General, it's time to be a marquis!"

It's something that everyone whispers in their hearts.

The Qin Palace opened his doors to the meritorious soldiers of the Northern Expedition.

General Zhao Tuo dismounted outside the palace gate and walked in with his head held high.

Behind him, he was also followed by Su Jiasha, as well as general-level generals such as Wang Li and Guo Qing, as well as the strategist of Li Shiqi, the right lord of the title.

As for Chen Ping, Fan Xu, Cao Shen, Xiao He and others, they fell behind at the end of the team.

Because their titles and positions were too low, they could not go to the palace to receive rewards, so they could only regret waiting for the envoys to come and issue rewards outside the palace with many colleagues.

But they are already very happy, this is the Great Qin Palace where the emperor lives, and it is the political center of the entire Qin State, and it is already the highest honor for ordinary people to be able to step here.

In the majestic and tall Qin Palace, the musicians under the command of Feng Chang are playing a passionate and uplifting song.

"Heming Mingming, the emperor ordered the Qin generals to rejuvenate the army and fight the brigade, and cut down the northern state."

"Get out of the car Peng Peng, and get out of the car. Hehe Zhao Tuo, Beihu Yuxiang! ”

……

Listen to the sound of bells and drums echoing in the Qin Palace.

The right prime minister in charge of guidance, Kui, turned around and said to Zhao Tuo with a smile: "General, this poem was written by myself when I heard the news of your victory in Yongcheng today. ”

Everyone looked at Zhao Tuo with envy.

The emperor personally wrote a poem to a courtier, and this glory is simply amazing, never seen in eternity!

Zhao Tuo paused when he just stepped up the steps.

Yes.

This poem has his name Zhao Tuo in it, and it tells about his exploits in the Northern Expedition to Hulu.

But unexpectedly, this was written by the First Emperor.

This is a poem written by the First Emperor to his Zhao Tuo.

At this moment, when Zhao Tuo saw those newly built palaces outside Xianyang City, the disgust and dissatisfaction he felt were gone.

His heart is already warm.

Emperor, wrote me a poem.

"Your Majesty."

Zhao Tuo was moved in his heart, muttered, then raised his head and strode up.

In the exciting sound of bells and drums, Zhao Tuo took the soldiers to the outside of the hall.

The call of the confessors came from the temple.

"The emperor's edict, the generals and all the meritorious heroes are here."

Zhao Tuo immediately walked into the hall with everyone behind him, he held his head high, his eyes did not squint, and he walked straight to the middle of the hall in front of the emperor's couch.

The First Emperor was sitting on his solemn and solemn imperial couch, wearing a crown of heaven and black clothes, with a majestic demeanor and a calm face.

Zhao Tuo took a deep breath and saluted with everyone behind him.

After the salute, he stood up, and officially replied to the emperor.

"Minister Zhao Tuo, under the edict of His Majesty, led the Northern Expedition and fought with the Hu people outside the Saiwai ......"

"Lai Your Majesty's holy virtue, the soldiers use their lives, my army will be mighty in the grassland, serve the three Yueshi in Henan, punish the Huns in Yinshan, according to the Gaoque Fortress, seize the land of Yang Mountain, and restore the homeland of Zhuxia in the past, in order to dedicate to Your Majesty!"

Zhao Tuo's back was straight, his voice was clear and passionate, and he said the results of the Qin army this time.

On the emperor's couch, the first emperor's eyes were full of brilliance.

What Zhao Tuo said, the First Emperor had known clearly for a long time. Now, he is not too interested in this brilliant record.

After all, he had read the letter written by Zhao Tuo several times.

At this moment, the First Emperor was looking at Zhao Tuo.

It is the spirit of enthusiasm and hard work in him.

He likes this kind of young man who is motivated, dares to fight, and has ability.

"Zhao Tuo's biggest advantage is that he has never disappointed me!"

In the heart of the First Emperor, he whispered his evaluation of Zhao Tuo again.

At this time, Zhao Tuo finished his life and stood in the hall with his head down.

The First Emperor smiled slightly, and said: "I heard that the people of Yidi are greedy and profitable, and they are sent to the left, with a human face and a beast's heart, and they are different from China and different customs, and often have a greedy heart. The Xiongnu took advantage of our summer war, went south and occupied our summer land, and drove Hu Ma outside the Great Wall, with the intention of violating the frontier, which was really a great disaster for my Qin. ”

"Today, there is General Zhao Tuo, who fights hard to show his might, makes meritorious contributions to the outside world, destroys Hu Yi, and recovers the homeland of Zhuxia for my Great Qin, this is the great merit of the country, showing my Qin Wei, showing my Qin De, I should be rewarded!"

The emperor's voice fell, and the prepared confessor stepped forward with the edict in his hand, spoke loudly, and officially read the edict.

"In the twenty-eighth year of the emperor, it was in the winter season. General Zhao Tuo cut down Beihu, recovered the homeland of Zhuxia, and opened up the territory for my Great Qin, which is an immortal feat. The emperor is very happy, and he is especially rewarded for his merits. ”

At this point, except for the high First Emperor, everyone in the hall held their breath, their eyes wide open, and their ears pricked up.

Everyone could guess what the next reward would be, but they couldn't wait to hear it read out.

I want to know the reward that is enough to carve a stone for meritorious service.

"The eldest concubine, Zhao Tuo, with the merit of destroying Hu Yi and recovering the homeland of Zhuxia, is the Marquis of Lun."

"Feng Wugong Marquis!"

"Give food to 6,000 households!"

In the comments in the previous chapter, the voices of the martial arts hou and the champion hou are so high.

Moment of glory, spend more pen and ink writing this chapter, there is no more tonight.

Thank you for your reward, and for your votes, thank you!
