Chapter 186: Filial Sons and Grandsons on the Prairie
Although the newly established Wuwei County has just broken ground, looking at this location, it is clearly the gateway between the Hexi Corridor and Daqin. It is almost conceivable that this place will become a vital hub connecting the Western Regions and Great Qin.
This is the key point of the world's lowest level.
And it is said to be a county, but a discerning person can see at a glance that this Wuwei, which is called county governance, is simply the specification of county governance.
His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun actually wanted to hand over such a dangerous pass to himself, a newcomer who was almost semi-coerced, it was really - what a big courage!
But to be honest, at this moment, he really felt a little moved.
Who doesn't want to be taken seriously and have a chance to show their strength?
In the past, in Pei County, he was just a small official, and there was no chance, but now that the opportunity has come, it is all fake. Even later, he followed Liu Dating to raise troops against Qin, all because after the collapse of the First Emperor, the good and dignified Daqin was about to fall apart by Hu Hai and Zhao Gao of Qin II.
The times make heroes.
If the First Emperor could live for another twenty years, how many of the princes who rebelled against Great Qin back then, including Liu Xiang, would be able to take advantage of the situation, and how many would dare to raise a rebellion?
Maybe like Xiao He and Cao Shen, they can only sink into the subordinates, or they will become the ministers of the humerus who are loyal to Daqin.
"You were originally in Pei County, and you had the experience of being a chief official, and now you have taken over Wuwei, it is not abrupt-"
Speaking of this, Zhao Ying smiled and glanced at Xiao He, who was obviously a little moved, and his tone was gentle and authentic.
"Although this place is newly built, the future is promising, how about it, do you have the confidence to do this acting county order and give me this martial power to govern well......
Xiao He looked at this eldest grandson of the emperor, who was only sixteen years old, but was majestic and heroic, calm and calm, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Chen Xiao He, I am willing to do my best and do my best!"
Zhao Ying smiled and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
"Good job, I'm optimistic about you-"
Feeling Zhao Ying's powerful and warm big hands, Xiao He was suddenly moved by the appreciation of others.
Since he was determined to stay here, show his strength, and make a career, Xiao He no longer hesitated, and in the afternoon of the same day, he rushed to Wuwei County, which had just begun to break ground, with Zhao Ying's handwritten letter.
As the acting county commander, he can't miss the opportunity to build a historical city with his own hands!
And Wang Li, before Xiao He arrived, had already rushed to Wuwei. He knew his own family affairs and knew that he had no experience in politics, so he kept a few more eyes, not only did everything himself, but also deliberately selected a few literate and hyphenated military backbones who were quite talented, and followed a few officials from the DPRK and China brought by Feng Quji every day, stealing teachers while assisting him on the side.
He was born in the Wang family, and compared with other people in this era, he was already well-informed, and he was willing to work hard, but after a few days, he gradually found a little way and became more and more calm.
At this time, when he saw Xiao He sent by Zhao Ying, he was even more relieved.
Now it's okay, finally someone has to share it for me.
He didn't mind that someone would share power with him, after all, before he came, Zhao Ying told him very clearly that he could ignore the affairs of Wuwei County, but two things should not be ignored.
One is the armed equipment in the county, and the other is local security.
These two things must be held tightly in their hands, and other government affairs can be handed over to Xiao He.
Xiao He didn't expect that Wang Li, a noble man from the Marquis of Wucheng's mansion, would hand over the power so smoothly and thoroughly. Wang Li didn't hide it from him, and said with a smile.
"Xiao County Order does not need to be surprised, before coming, His Royal Highness explained very clearly, the county Chinese affairs are all handed over to the county order, and the county military affairs are all entrusted to me, from then on, we have a single article and a martial art, which is the guarantee of the long-term peace and stability of this Wuwei County Governor."
Xiao He was overjoyed and gave up his hand at Wang Li.
"In the future, I will ask General Wang for more advice!"
……
As for the county orders of Zhangye and Jiuquan, Zhao Ying thought twice and decided to hand it over to the officials of the court brought by Feng Quji. After all, although he has many talents, he can govern a county independently, and there are not many who have experience in governing counties.
At this time, if the eldest father can let these people come over to help him, then obviously there should be no problem with these people. However, he still left the generals who guarded the two places to the old team from the recruit battalion.
Zhang Ye handed over to Meng Zhan, who was calm in his work, delicate in personality, and performed well all the way to the star of the Mengjia family, and as for Jiuquan, he was handed over to the white bamboo shoots who followed Zhang Liang and pacified Jiayu Mountain.
The first is that Bai Bamboo Shoots originally performed very well in the recruit camp, and he was one of the first batch of 100 generals selected, and the second is that Bai Bamboo Shoots has a special identity, he is the second son of Bai Fen in the Bai San clan of Mengxi.
Meng Xibai Sanshi stood up to support him, and he had to reciprocate.
The four counties of Hexi must have a place for the three clans of Mengxi and Bai.
But there is only one place for it.
Although the support of the Mengxi Baisan clan is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow for himself, he is grateful, but he is also unwilling, he was born and died, and the big rear that was finally knocked down directly became the back garden of the Mengxi Baisan clan.
But even so, the influence of the Mengxi Bai San clan is still rising.
The three thousand soldiers, almost all of them came from the land of Meixian, even if one-third of them were not from the Mengxi Bai San clan, but they still accounted for the majority of their subordinates. Now these people, after the battle between the Xiongnu and the Hexi Corridor, almost all of them have made meritorious contributions, and they will become middle and lower-level officials in the army as soon as the news of the court's detailed discussion of merit arrives, these people may be scattered into the hundreds of thousands of troops in Longxi and become the mainstay of the Longxi army.
As for the children of the Mo family who have been following him, it is not that he has not considered it, but after many considerations, he feels that it is not appropriate.
Compared with several other schools, the theories and practices of this group of Mohists are purer and more noble.
If they are given a small county town in Guanzhong, let them display their own political ideas, and with their own support, they may really be able to build a small utopia on this land, but if they are given a slightly larger place, or a new city like the Hexi Corridor, which has a complex ethnic composition and has not yet been attached to the people, it may cause a big mess.
The grassland peoples are strong but not virtuous.
Reasoning with them, it is estimated that the effect of the fist is not as good, and letting this group of noble people with moral cleanliness come here is to make both sides uncomfortable, and the wise man will not take it.
However, including the Mo family's fowls, all the Mo family's children have a place to play.
The construction and planning of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang were all handed over to the Mo family.
……
Just when Zhao Ying was busy in the Hexi Corridor and was hot in the imperial court.
The atmosphere on the prairie is very weird.
First of all, the Xiongnu Dadan Yu Touman, gathered the young and strong of dozens of tribes of all sizes, pulled up an army of hundreds of thousands, and waited for the arrival of Zhao Ying's army near the royal city.
As a result, I waited for a loneliness.
No, it can't be regarded as a lonely wait, because on the fourth day after Zhao Ying's army disappeared, the more than 200,000 troops of Jiuyuan and Shangjun moved forward on all fronts, pushed beyond the Great Wall, and under the personal leadership of the famous Qin Dynasty general Wang Ben, they opened up the formation and made an aggressive offensive posture against the Xiongnu.
Touman didn't dare to move even more.
A vanguard army, tens of thousands of people, bulldozed the four most powerful tribes under his command in one day, and now hundreds of thousands of troops are pressing up, saying that they are not nervous, it is absolutely false.
But if you want to say how timid, that's not necessarily.
Although Touman was old and weak, he was not a scare lord, although he was shocked by the terrible combat effectiveness shown by Zhao Ying's army, he believed in the hundreds of thousands of Hun troops behind him.
But what puzzled him was that Wang Ben's army had obviously left the Great Wall, but the speed of the march was as slow as a snail, and later, he simply stopped and didn't leave!
Looking at that posture, it was like running to the grassland, not for war, but for sightseeing.
But he didn't dare to lead the army to pounce and take the initiative to meet the battle.
After all, the vanguard army of the Qin army, which was extremely terrifying in combat effectiveness, suddenly disappeared, and at some point, it would suddenly appear and stab itself.
As a result, in the history of Daqin and the Xiongnu, there was an extremely strange scene.
Wang Ben, the general of the Qin army, led an army of more than 100,000 and stationed outside the Great Wall to deter the Xiongnu, and hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops tightly surrounded the royal city and looked at each other from the Qin army.
This situation lasted until more than ten days later.
Then, Tou Manshan Yu heard a news that made him jaw-dropping and unbelievable, the vanguard of the Qin army that mysteriously disappeared on the grassland, actually stormed into the Hexi Corridor, and in just a few days, completely swept the entire territory of the Hexi Corridor.
Once powerful, even the Xiongnu had to retreat from the Yue clan, and from the king of the Yue clan down, the whole clan surrendered!
It is still the vanguard force that swept away the four major tribes of Yunpu, Jimo, Dang Khotan and Tu in one day, and it is still the legendary sixteen-year-old emperor's grandson Zhao Ying!
There is nothing new in the steppe.
Don't look at the fact that communication is not developed in this era, but these grassland peoples only have their own means of communication, not to mention, for this news, whether it is Li Xin who is sitting under the Lenglong Ridge, or Wang Ben, who is deterring the Huns, there is no intention of blockade.
"How is that possible! How is this possible! The King of the Yue Clan has an army of hundreds of thousands, and there are countless elite soldiers and strong generals under his command, how can he not be the opponent of the Qin army, even if he is not the opponent of the Qin army, how can he be defeated so quickly......"
Inside the big tent, a fat face, a bloated head Mandanyu, his eyes were red, he was panting, like a trapped beast, tearing his collar from time to time.
"That Zhao Ying, is it possible that the demon law will not be successful......"
But no one could answer him.
The leaders of dozens of major tribes in the steppe looked shocked and uneasy, unable to believe this news that sounded extremely exaggerated and unreal.
But reason tells them that this is most likely true.
After all, that's a super madman with 30,000 horses who can wipe out the four major tribes in one day!
Destroying the four countries in one day, in this way, it takes more than ten days to run over and destroy the Yueshi It seems to be normal - what a fart!
The strength of the Yue clan is not at all comparable to the tribes of Pu, Jimo, Dang Khotan and Tuge, which is a powerful existence that is enough to confront the entire Xiongnu. If you cut out the time for people to hurry, it is very likely that they will be beaten and surrendered in a few days......
How this battle was fought-
How do you fight like this?
This question is completely beyond their imagination.
"Khan, now that the Yue clan has been destroyed, and the Hexi Corridor has fallen into the hands of the Qin people, that person has no worries, do you say, will he free his hands and continue to use troops against us......"
When a rough-looking man with a lot of fangs and jewelry around his neck asked this question that everyone was worried about, the atmosphere in the royal tent instantly froze, and it was so heavy and oppressive that it was almost impossible to breathe.
A group of people know in their hearts that this possibility is almost 100%.
Before taking the Hexi Corridor, that young and exaggerated boy dared to lead tens of thousands of troops to attack the Xiongnu, and in one day, the four major tribes were wiped out. Now that he has no worries and the advantage of being able to send troops on both sides, how can he be willing to let go of his own people?
If he really comes, who of his own people will be able to stop this terrible demon?
They all know in their hearts, in terms of strength alone, the strength of their own tribe is not the opponent of the tribes such as Yanpu at all, and even the four powerful tribes can't resist it, so why should their own tribe resist?
Take the head?
It is precisely because of this concern that everyone does not dare to withdraw easily.
If you don't hold a group, you have no future-
"What will happen? I, a Hun warrior, can I compare with those useless wine bags and rice bags of the Yue tribe? The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, our Hun warriors, the descendants of the immortal heaven, can we still be afraid of them, those Qin people......"
Tou Manshan saw that the atmosphere in the king's tent was a little depressed, and many people showed a look of apprehension and fear on their faces, and immediately waved their arms, forcing the worries in their hearts to cheer everyone up.
However, the effect is very chatty.
Everyone is an old fox who has been messing around on the grassland for many years, who can still have no points in their hearts?
The terrible emperor eldest grandson of Great Qin really brought people here, who can resist the army of others, and the most important thing is that who will resist the army of others first?
No one spoke.
Everyone looked at their noses and noses as if they hadn't heard, just looking at their noses and noses, and looking at their toes one by one.
"It's a shame that you are still the descendants of the Immortal Heaven, and the enemy has not yet come, so you yourself are cowardly like this, so don't stand here at all, go back to your tribe, and hide in the crotch of your own woman......"
Just when the atmosphere in the big tent was getting more and more dull and depressing, suddenly a voice with a little anger broke the silence in the big tent.
This is so shameless that everyone feels like they have been slapped in the face, and they only feel hot and painful.
Hmmm-
Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on the young man standing below Tou Mandan.
For this young man who suddenly stood up and slapped his face, everyone is no stranger, it is Mao Dun, the eldest son of Touman Danyu!
"Presumptuous—"
Seeing his unlucky son, one mouth provoked the anger of the public, Tou Manshan did not hesitate to sacrifice his unruly son, grabbed the horsewhip inlaid with gold and jade jewels beside him, and whipped it on the ground.
"On top of the big tent, how can you speak, don't apologize to these uncles and uncles immediately!"
Mao Dun clenched his fists, did not dodge or dodge, and looked back at his father, who had already become bloated and old, and had lost his fighting spirit, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
This kind of father who will only sacrifice his son is no longer worthy of being the descendant of the wolf king!
