"Brother-cough, Your Highness, the woman who leads the dance in the middle is the little girl Yueji, I don't know how good she looks can be counted in your eyes......"

Ah, this-

Stealing other people's daughters and being caught by other people's fathers, even Zhao Ying couldn't help but be slightly embarrassed, coughed lightly, and pretended to retract his gaze indifferently.

"Cough, yes, Ling Yuan's country is beautiful, and the world is stunning......"

Receiving Zhao Ying's positive affirmation, the joy on the face of the Yue Clan King was even worse.

"The little girl has always admired heroes, and since she saw His Highness's heroic appearance today, she has never forgotten it, and she wants to serve His Highness by her side——"

Speaking of this, the Yue Clan King carefully observed Zhao Ying's face.

"I don't know if the little girl, is there that blessing......"

Zhao Ying: ......

I don't know when it started, the people who were staggering in the big tent stopped what they were doing and quietly pricked up their ears, especially those Yue Clan nobles who had just surrendered, and their eyes floated uncontrollably to this side.

Actually a little nervous?

Only then did Zhao Ying realize that this old thing had painstakingly arranged such a song and dance, and it turned out that he was waiting here.

In this era, not to mention these tribes on the grassland, even in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it is already the norm to rely on marriage to consolidate the relationship between them.

Now, the new arrival of the Yue Clan, compared to his empty promises, a genuine marriage may be more reassuring for them, right?

Alas, it was so hard for me!

But I don't go to hell, who does?

For the sake of the country, for the sake of the overall situation, in order to calm down the fighting, and for the well-being of the people of Daqin and the Yue clan, I, Zhao Ying, had no choice but to reluctantly sacrifice my hue and get rid of them-

Thinking of this, Zhao Ying stood up and took the wine glass of the Yue Clan King with a smile.

"Ling Yuan is a scholar in the world, and it is a blessing for General Ben to be valued by Ling Yuan——"

As he spoke, he raised his glass high and looked around.

"Everyone, from now on, the Yue clan and my Daqin are the home of in-laws—come, you drink this cup ......"

As soon as Zhao Ying's words fell, there was a loud cheer in the big tent, and everyone raised their glasses and drank bitterly. Zhao Ying could clearly feel that he was a little more sincere and a little less apprehensive than the excitement just now.

The expressions on the faces of those Yue Clan nobles were obviously much more relaxed.

On the contrary, the soldiers of Great Qin looked at their Royal Highness, and there seemed to be a little more admiration and pity in their eyes?

made Zhao Ying a little baffled.

I reluctantly made a small sacrifice, but your eyes are too exaggerated!

On the Yue's side, it's the opposite, they're really happy. Receiving Zhao Ying's approval, the king of the Yue clan was overjoyed, and immediately beckoned his daughter to come over and pour wine for Zhao Ying personally.

"The people on the edge are like the moon, and the frost and snow are ...... on the wrists"

I don't know if it's the reason why she is wearing any sachets, Yueji's body has a very comfortable fragrance, and at this time she knelt beside Zhao Ying, gently holding the wine jug, her ten fingers were slender, and her wrists were like snow, which made Zhao Ying's heart inexplicably think of this popular quatrain in later generations.

Although the person in front of her is not a gentle Jiangnan woman, her body is plump and straight, her skin is white and delicate, and compared with the Central Plains woman, her facial features are more profound and exquisite, especially a pair of big amber eyes, smart and lively, with a wildness that comes from the bones.

The corners of Zhao Ying's mouth couldn't help but hook slightly, took the wine glass, and drank it all.

This son-in-law of the Yue King brothers, I, the elder brother, are decided!

Guests and hosts have fun.

"Yuehime, don't serve His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun to rest......"

With the strength of the wine, the king of the Yue clan blushed and pretended to look at his daughter on the side unhappily.

Seeing this, Zhao Ying smiled and waved his hand, and said with a straight face.

"Thank you for the kindness of the Yue Clan, but Ling Yuan is the princess of the Yue Clan, her status is noble, she should have her dignity and decency, how can she be so contemptuous - now, the Yue Clan and my Great Qin have become one, and they will be a family from now on, if the Yue Clan Wang Guo has the sincerity to jade this beautiful thing, why not tell the whole clan and marry according to the ceremony......"

The king of the Yue clan couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately bowed his head and bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Your Highness, this matter is Xiao Wang's thoughtlessness-"

Yueji, who was bowing her head on the side and was about to step forward to support Zhao Ying, raised her head suddenly, and there was a different kind of brilliance in her amber eyes in an instant.

Don't say that the princess of a country, even if it is the daughter of an ordinary family, who wants to follow someone else so inexplicably?

At night, instead of staying in the tent of the Yueshi people, Zhao Ying, accompanied by everyone, returned to Yanzhi Mountain. Although the Yueshi people have surrendered, they cannot completely let their guard down.

"Lord, this is the details of my military merits that I have sorted out with several military merit officers, please take a look at ...... lord"

The military merit system is the foundation of Daqin, and it has a very strict and detailed statistical method of military merit, as well as corresponding means of supervision, and each military merit has the signature of its own commander, the commander of the army, and even the hundred generals, the two or five hundred lords, as well as Han Xin, Zhang Han, Meng Zhan and Wang Li.

Unless they don't want to live anymore, no one dares to do anything about it.

Despite this, Zhao Ying still took it, sat under the bright anointed candle, carefully looked at this military merit book, and after checking it repeatedly, he picked up the brush, signed his name carefully at the back, and solemnly used the seal of his champion general.

This heavy booklet is a merit, an honor, and countless soldiers, carrying their heads, with a knife and a gun, in exchange for their lives.

Zhao Ying can't do anything else, the only thing he can do is to do his best to ensure its fairness!

I can't let my brother, who was born and died with him, shed blood and tears.

This military merit booklet, when the dust settles on the Wusheling side early tomorrow morning, will be sent to Xianyang in an expedited manner of 800 miles, along with the documents of the victory.

After handing the military merit booklet to Chen Ping, Zhao Ying thought about it, took the pen and paper again, and carefully wrote a serious letter to the First Emperor, focusing on the issue of marriage with the Yue clan and the treatment of the Yue clan.

The Yue Clan is a large tribe with a population of hundreds of thousands, and there are more than 200,000 soldiers available in the Light Clan.

With such a large population base, it is certainly not appropriate to leave all of them in an important military area like Hexi, so under such circumstances, how to stabilize people's minds and how to resettle the population is very important.

These questions need to be communicated with the First Emperor in advance.

Before dawn the next day, the news came back from Wusheling.

Yue's six tribal leaders, including Wuerqi, Jiuzi, Fatun, and Shuangmi, who were responsible for guarding Wusheling and resisting the attack of the Qin army, decided to surrender to the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhao Ying, and at the same time, Xin Sheng, the defender of Longxi, who had received Zhao Ying's letter, also stopped the attack very cooperatively.

The army retreated ten miles away and was stationed on the spot.

After categorically rejecting his subordinates' suggestion to immediately report to Xianyang, he carefully counted the exploits and casualties of the storming of Wusheling during this period of time, and asked his deputy general Shima to personally rush to Yanzhi Mountain and hand it to Zhao Ying.

Then, he wrote a separate note, and replied to the first emperor with the normal channel flow.

Yanzhi Mountain.

"You're Shibuma?"

Zhao Ying glanced at it with some surprise, this middle-aged general with a long figure, a delicate face, and a bit of bookishness. He is naturally no stranger to the name Shiruma.

I still remember the concise and stingy but thrilling record of him in the "Historical Records of Xiang Yu Benji":

"Xiang Yu Naixi led the troops across the river, all of them sank the ship, broke the cauldron, burned the house, and held three days' rations to show that the soldiers would die, and none of them returned the heart. So he surrounded the king, met with the Qin army, fought nine battles, cut off the road, broke it, killed Su Jiao, and captured the king. If you don't fall into Chu, you will burn and kill. ”

Although there are only eight words in the record about the relationship, it has written the integrity that a military general should have.

He was one of the few warriors of that era who was really willing to die for Daqin.

Compared with him, those who have enjoyed the Qin State for generations, but they twisted their attitudes, half-pushed and half-pushed, and turned around to become Hanchen's pawns and standers, and they should be ashamed.

Of course, as for those Donglin Party members who pride themselves on being loyal ministers every day, but they think the water is too cold, they are not even scumbags.

Because of this, he still remembers this passage vividly, and he also admires the person Shiruma. I have traveled so far, and what I need is such a talent.

"Back to Your Highness, what a last-"

Shima returned the salute in a proper manner, but he didn't think much about it, after all, Xin Sheng's letter must have introduced his name.

Zhao Ying smiled and returned the salute.

"General Shi, it's been hard all the way, let's sit down first-"

Subsequently, Zhao Ying asked people to bring tea, where he carefully read the military merit book sent by Xin Sheng, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

He naturally understood that Xin Sheng asked people to send the military merit booklet over and did not go to report his merits, obviously because he regarded himself as subordinate and did not want to compete with himself for merit. This man is a smart man.

Although he knew that this was a gesture of favor to himself, this favor was real, and he had to admit it.

Although he admired Shima very much and intended to stay under his own hands, Zhao Ying didn't say much, and after letting people take Shima down to rest, Zhao Ying turned his head and handed this military merit book to Chen Ping, who was standing aside.

"Just follow the above, and report the victory to Your Majesty—"

Chen Ping gave up his hand and went out to arrange it in a high mood.

In just over a month, the emperor's eldest grandson swept away the leaves with a strong wind, exterminating Pu, and the end, when Khotan, and Pu, collecting the Hexi Corridor, and expanding the land for thousands of miles.

The general trend of the emperor's eldest grandson has been achieved since then!

No one can shake it anymore.

Although the war is over, Zhao Ying can't go back until the first emperor's will arrives, and there are many things on the Yue family's side that need to be handled by him, the emperor's eldest grandson, personally.

In the following days, Zhao Ying personally met with the leaders of various large and small tribes in the Hexi Corridor, and according to the practice of Daqin, he registered all the people and made a register to appease people's hearts.

So, after a lap, he was stuffed with seven or eight very exotic maids.

There is no way, there is something to give, there is gain, this is the sacrifice he must make.

At this time, he was surprised to find that in the entire Hexi Corridor, there were more than 20 tribes of all sizes, in addition to the five major tribes of Xiumi, Shuangmi, Guishuang, Fatton, and Dumi, which belonged to the Yueshi, there were more than ten tribes of all sizes, such as Yuzhi, Khotan, Wujie, Yanqi, Jiuzi, Beji, Wofu, Wuerqi, Hezhe, Kucishan, and Jiuzi.

The larger ones have thousands of tribes, and the smaller ones have only a few hundred.

The ingredients are jaw-droppingly complex.

But because of this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid that these hundreds of thousands of people were all from the Yue clan.

In short, although he doesn't have to fight anymore, he works day and night, and every day is more tired than fighting, and he really understands what it means to be in a hurry. But the results were also encouraging, and many tribes began to gradually accept the new superior.

In addition to him, the busiest is the children of the Mo family, these days, these children of the Mo family, according to his instructions, went to various places in Hexi, inspected the terrain, drew maps, and at the same time considered the feasibility of building defensive pass tunnels in the later Yangguan, Yumen Pass, Jiayu Pass, Wusheling and Yanzhi Mountain, which are famous and dangerous.

As for Chen Ping, he was even more busy, and Zhao Ying handed over almost the entire internal affairs of Hexi to him.

Today, he has become a hot celebrity in the Hexi Corridor.

Even many tribes, who can't stand up to Zhao Ying, have begun to set their eyes on the right-hand man beside Zhao Ying.

And Wang Li, Han Xin, Zhang Han, Meng Zhan and others were also driven out by Zhao Ying, followed Chen Ping, and became familiar with Hexi affairs. As for Zhang Liang, after stabilizing the situation in Jiayuguan, he was also recruited by Zhao Ying to his side to assist in handling Hexi affairs.

Together with Chen Ping, carefully plan the governance plan of Hexi.

At this time, Zhao Ying found out why this dog thing can be rated as the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, this ability to deal with internal affairs is really extraordinary, meticulous and steady, and the ministers of the DPRK and China, I am afraid that only a few people such as Li Si and Meng Yi can compare with it.

This made Zhao Ying a lot easier.

Just when Zhao Ying and others were busy in Hexi, the good news from the Hexi Corridor also spread to Xianyang at an expedited speed of 800 miles.

"Report - Hexi Victory - Emperor Zhao Ying's eldest grandson expanded the land for thousands of miles, three arrows to Hexi, completely opened up the Hexi Corridor, and the Yue clan descended to Qin!"

The emperor's eldest grandson, Zhao Ying, attacked thousands of miles, and the aftermath of the legendary story of destroying the four kingdoms in one day was not over, and another piece of news that was enough to make the entire Xianyang explode in an instant spread wildly at an incredible speed.

In the middle of the official road, the sound of horses' hooves struck the stone slabs.

The hoarse voice of the captain was so shocking that many people could hardly believe their ears.

What's the situation?

Isn't the emperor's eldest grandson fighting the Huns, why did he suddenly open up the Hexi Corridor!

It's only been a few days?

How is this possible!

You must know that the Yue clan, which occupies the Hexi Corridor, has hundreds of thousands of tribes, and there are more than 200,000 troops alone, and just a few years ago, General Meng Tian personally led hundreds of thousands of troops, but they were unable to conquer it.

The emperor's eldest grandson, it was only a few days before he took it!

Many people have already begun to fold their fingers, calculating that it has only been a few days since the last time the emperor's eldest grandson broke through the four kingdoms in one day.
