Chapter 708: Zhaowu
After the court meeting ended, Zhao Tuo had been observing the movements of the First Emperor.
Fortunately, after several days, the First Emperor did not mention the matter of sending troops to attack the body poison, and it seemed that he was dissuaded by the ministers, which made the stone in Zhao Tuo's heart fall to the ground.
"The body poison is too far away, and it is not something that the current Qin State can fight. Moreover, the war lasted too long, and I only hoped that after the war between Haidong and the Yue clan was over, the emperor would be able to stop for a while and give the country time to breathe. ”
Zhao Tuo looked in the east and west directions.
Calculate the time, these two wars should also be over, right?
The territory of the Qin State will expand outward.
……
In the center of Hexi, the land is fertile, and the water and grass are abundant, which can be compared with the green grassland at the foot of Helan Mountain.
A small city made of rammed earth towers over here.
Zhaowu Castle.
This is where the royal court of the Yue clan is located, and it is also the only city within a radius of hundreds of miles.
Like Touman City, which was built by the Xiongnu at the foot of Yin Mountain, Zhaowu City was the political and religious center of the entire Yue clan.
Under normal circumstances, every year during the month of sacrifice, the five Marquis of the Yue clan would come to Zhaowu City to hold a meeting to worship the gods worshiped by the Yue people.
At the same time, the marquis of each ministry will also hold a meeting under the chairmanship of the king of the Yue clan to mediate conflicts, divide the pastures, and a series of various political discussions.
It's just that the current Zhaowu City has just experienced a battle of blood and fire, and the wails and screams of the sky, and the blood and water of corpses all over the ground have made this holy capital city in the hearts of the Yue clan people covered with a bloody veil.
The Qin general Wang Li sat on a war horse, with the mighty Qin army's infantry formation behind him, and the nobles of the Yueliang clan kneeling in front of him.
"The villain's high subordinate Soneri pays a visit to General Wang. The villain has always admired the Great Qin Weide, and is willing to belong to the Great Qin, and now he specially presented the head of the king of the Yue clan and the marquis of Dunxi (xī) to General Wang and the great emperor, and asked General Wang to smile. ”
"Okay, the Marquis of Gao Fu can understand the situation, understand the reason, and lead his troops to join my Daqin. And beheaded the king of the Yue clan and the Marquis of Dun Xi, this is a great achievement, he will be the emperor since he was born, and he will be rewarded in the future! ”
Wang Li said, turned his head to look at the nervous Marquis of Xiu Mi Xi who was kneeling next to him, nodded and said: "Hou Xiu Mi Xi can help my Great Qin to capture the Yue Clan, it is also a great achievement, not only can it be offset by the past crimes, but also should be rewarded, my Great Qin will not treat the Marquis of Xiu Mi Xi badly." ”
The Marquis of Humi was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The villain thanks General Wang." ”
"Hmm."
Wang Li looked at the two heads placed in front of the two marquis.
Especially the old head who was still wearing the crown, Wang Li looked at it again and again, his eyes were full of excitement.
King of the Moon Clan.
The Marquis of Dun.
It's all here.
Except for the prince of the Yue clan, who took advantage of the chaos and fled with some people, the entire Yue clan's power was basically wiped out and surrendered.
He Wang Li captured Zhaowu City, destroyed the Yue Clan, occupied Hexi for Daqin, and expanded the territory for thousands of miles, which is a great achievement!
"Father, I didn't disappoint you!"
Wang Li spoke to Wang Qian's spirit in the sky in his heart.
He turned his head, looked at the woman sitting on the horse next to him, and said in a deep voice: "The reason why this battle was able to win a great victory is that the Marquis of Xi has made great contributions, and he will deserve to be the emperor for the Marquis of Xi." ”
Su Jiasha laughed, she had already been named the Marquis of the Yue Clan by the First Emperor, and her status in the Qin army was comparable to that of a general.
"General Wang's words are fallacious, the reason why this battle can be won is that it depends on the support of the Great Qin Army, if it is not for the strong support of the Qin army behind it, even if I can speak well, it is impossible to say that the two Marquis Gao and Xiu Mi will vote."
"Second, thanks to General Wang's foresight, he was able to wait for the opportunity and make a contribution in one fell swoop. If one of these two is missing, neither of them can get this great victory, so the concubine's work is only a small one, and General Wang is the greatest achievement. ”
Sugartha pushed the great work back to Wang Li.
Wang Li shook his head and said, "I am naturally very clear about the merits of the Marquis. ”
Looking at this beautiful Yue's female marquis, Wang Li's eyes were filled with admiration.
He knew very well that this time the Qin army was able to break the Yue Clan in one go, and get the surrender of the two Yue Clan Marquis, and kill the head of the Yue Clan King and another Xi Marquis, all without Su Jiasha's merits.
At that time, after the Qin army entered Hexi, Qiang Qi and other deputy generals were eager to make meritorious contributions, and they thought that the Yue clan was defeated by the martial arts marquis, and they must be frightened and timid, and their combat effectiveness was low.
Therefore, it is advocated to immediately press the border with a large army, take the Yue's Zhaowu City directly, and have a decisive battle with the Yue's people to win the final victory
Because of the great victory of the Qin army in Henan, many generals were proud, and this trip was assisted by the requisitioned Guiyi Yue clan and the Guiyi Xiongnu, so they all thought that the broken Yue clan did not need to worry, and directly crushed the past.
"General Xiao Wang, you are afraid of a bird, with the assistance of my Qiang fistula, you will be able to win the battle!"
Wang Li still remembers the appearance of Qiang patting his chest and packing tickets, and everything is vivid.
However, he still decided to ask the opinion of Su Jiasha, the Marquis of the Yue Clan.
Su Jiasha believed that although three of the Yue clan were damaged, the remaining Yue Clan's royal court and two Xi Hou were still strong and could raise an army of nearly 100,000, making them enemies that should not be underestimated.
Instead of spending strength on a decisive battle with the Yue Clan, it is better to take advantage of the prestige of the Qin army's great victory to rebel against the Yue nobles and reduce the damage of the Qin army.
She advocated contacting the Marquis of Humi, who had fled to Zhaowu City, and using her captured subordinates to lure and threaten them to join the Qin camp.
After that, you can use this as an opportunity to find an opportunity to defeat the Yue Clan.
After thinking about it, Wang Li agreed to this decision.
The deputy general Qiang beat his chest on the spot and expressed his dissatisfaction.
"General Wang, you know that when I was in the army, General Wang trusted me the most, and he listened to my advice every time he fought a big battle, so he won a hundred battles!"
"You don't believe me now, but instead believe in the Yueshi woman, I think you are just fascinated by women!"
Relying on his seniority and thinking about making meritorious contributions, Qiang naturally disagreed with Su Jiasha's strategy.
If Sugartha's plan succeeds, will he still be able to make great contributions?
Wang Li rolled his eyes at this.
He still chose to follow the advice of the Marquis of Wugong when he was in Xianyang and let Su Jiasha carry out her plan.
In order to get the best results, Sugasa sneaked into the royal court and really persuaded the Marquis of Humi.
Although the subordinates of the Marquis of Xiu Mi were lost to Helan, his status in the Yue clan was greatly reduced.
But he is also a marquis, especially since he once led a large army to fight with the Qin people, and knows the specific combat strength of the Qin army. Therefore, the Marquis of Xiu Mixi was often recruited by the king of the Yue clan to discuss ways to deal with the Qin army, and he knew the situation of the Yue clan well.
With the Marquis of Humi as the internal response, Wang Li and Su Jiasha quickly figured out the attitude of the King of the Yue Clan and the remaining two Marquis of the Yue Clan.
Among them, the King of the Yue Clan and the Marquis of Dun Xi were both hardcore main battle factions, and it was impossible for them to surrender to the Qin army.
However, Gao Fuxi Marquis was a cowardly person, afraid of the might of the Qin army, and wanted to retain the strength of his subordinates, so he was an ideal target for persuasion.
Under the matchmaking of the Marquis of Humi, Su Jiasha successfully persuaded the Marquis of Gaofu, making the Yueshi of the Gaofu Department become the internal response of the Qin army.
When everything was ready, this particular battle began.
The Marquis of Gao Fu and the Marquis of Xiu Mi joined forces and found an excuse to invite the King of the Yue clan and the Marquis of Dun to the big tent outside the city for a banquet.
At the banquet, the dead soldiers of the High Annexation Department beheaded the King of the Yue Clan and the Marquis of Didun on the spot.
The entire Zhaowu City was in chaos, and the Yue clan of the High Attachment Department took the opportunity to attack.
At the same time, the Qin army, which received the news, sent cavalry to attack from the outside.
The inside and the outside should be combined, and the two leaders of the Yue Clan King and the Marquis of Dun Xi were all killed on the spot, and the Yue Clan crowd was either killed or surrendered without a leader.
Only the prince of the Yue clan, under the protection of a die-hard nobleman, rushed out to the west, and now he is being chased by the Qin general Qiang's angry people.
General Qiang, I still want to make a great contribution.
In short, the Qin army easily won this big victory.
The Yueshi forces, which had nearly 100,000 people who drew bows, were thus conquered by the Qin army led by Wang Li.
Although it took a long time, the loss of soldiers was not large.
All of this is naturally inseparable from Sugartha's contributions.
Facing Wang Li's admiring gaze, Sugasa pursed her lips and smiled.
She turned her head and looked in the direction of Xianyang to the east.
The appearance of another Qin general came to mind.
"General."
