Chapter Ninety-Seven: Childe is in action!
King Donghu is dead!
But the war is not over!
At present, Donghu is a time when the dragons have no leader and six gods have no master, and the Qin soldiers and the Xiongnu combined forces began to sweep the Donghu tribe.
Donghu was difficult to resist, and because the king of Donghu had died, the new leader was forced to be pushed out.
However, in this case, it is clear that Donghu lacks a commander with sufficient leadership to regroup.
Even in the midst of a critical situation, the struggle for human rights will not stop, and the differences between people will not dissolve.
This is true for Nanming, and the same is true for Donghu.
As a result, the remaining tribes of Donghu that did not have time to react split into two.
Part of Donghu retired to protect Wuhuan Mountain (near present-day Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia), and part of Donghu Retired to Baobaoxianbei Mountain (near present-day Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province).
Because of the reason of running farther, Wuheng and Xianbei were preserved, so they were controlled by the Xiongnu and controlled by the Xiongnu's left and right Xianwang.
After the rise of the Han Dynasty in history and the complete start of the counterattack against the Xiongnu, Wuheng and Xianbei played a very key role in it, adding a few more handfuls of soil to the fall of the Xiongnu.
Later, the Xiongnu gradually fell into decadence and even were overthrown by the Han Dynasty, and the survival pressure of Wuheng and Xianbei was relieved, so in the process of continuous development and growth, the scope of activities gradually moved south, and since then it has become a new frontier trouble of the Han Empire.
For now, they're just a bunch of lost dogs.
After the death of King Donghu, the entire Donghu did not organize a decent counteroffensive at all, and it completely collapsed, the people's hearts were scattered, and the struggle for power was not forgotten on the way to escape.
As a result, the combined forces of the Xiongnu and Great Qin slaughtered in the land of Donghu and made a lot of money.
The back was mainly a pursuit battle, and the casualties were not large.
At the same time, the Yue clan, as an ally of Donghu, not only did not help Donghu re-establish order, but took advantage of Donghu's fight to quietly engulf a large area of Donghu's fertile pasture and received many fleeing tribes from Donghu.
And the other side......
When Han Xin defeated the king of Donghu and swept the court of the king of Donghu, the heralds of Daqin did not feel a trace of sadness for the destruction of Donghu, and immediately sent the good news to Longxi County, through Longxi, and went straight to the pass day and night.
"Longxi victory! Longxi victory! β
The good news was first placed on the case of the first emperor, and there was a good news officer who went around the city to pass the victory in Longxi!
"Donghu made peace with the Yue clan and wanted to send troops to attack Qin, and the general sent Han Xin to lead 10,000 troops and form an alliance with the Xiongnu!
It is to refute public opinion, to attack instead of defending, to advance as retreat, to rush thousands of miles, and to attack the Donghu royal court!
The vanguard of Xiang Ji beheaded the king of Donghu, and the court of Donghu was ......"
The good news, under the propaganda of the good news officer, has been familiar with the entire Xianyang City in less than half a day.
"Won......"
At noon, Zhao Si was summoned to the palace, accompanied by Li Si, the right minister of Great Qin.
Zhao Si looked at the slightly excited eyes of the First Emperor and Li Si and rubbed his sleepy eyes.
Recently, Zhao Si abused his private power and poured a lot of modern equipment for Yu Ji, not only for Yu Ji, but also for the maids in the mansion to almost complete the overall dressing.
Antique style with stockings, that's called an eye-catching.
So much so that even if Zhao Si is a dragon spirit and a tiger with a jade aura in his body, he can't help but feel sleepy, and often falls asleep until the sun rises.
It can be seen that the gold content of the Yellow Emperor's maiden soaring in the three thousand days is obviously not something that Zhao Si can touch porcelain with a jade halo.
"You're not surprised?"
Hearing the good news, it was still such a great victory, and the mood of the first emperor was obviously much better.
The tension of troops on the side of Longxi is on the bright side, after all, the Donghu Yue clan is an enemy who can directly pull out hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on the bright side, and there is also an obvious unified command.
Therefore, the first emperor's request to Meng Tian from the beginning was to try his best to protect the Xiongnu, and if he could not do so, he must also maintain the stability of the border counties and prevent the Hu people from crossing the Great Wall.
After all, in addition to external troubles, Meng Tian also has to deal with internal worries.
The land of Yan and Zhao is also the front line of foreign races, so many local nobles in the land of Yan and Zhao have dealt with the Hu people to a greater or lesser extent, and if they are not careful, they may lead the Hu people into the south.
The best expected goal in the heart of the First Emperor was that Meng Tian would be able to protect the Xiongnu from being annexed and divided by Donghu and the Yue clan because Great Qin had to deal with internal troubles.
However, as the most nervous place and the student that the teacher was most worried about, Longxi was the first to hand in the papers.
Moreover, the results have been unbelievably good.
10,000 soldiers and horses!
Great Qin only sent 10,000 soldiers and horses.
You told me to use 10,000 soldiers and horses to wipe out a country with a population of more than 1 million, more than 200,000 people who control the strings, and the most powerful country in the steppe.
The king of Donghu was killed on the spot, and the heads were sent back, in addition to many Donghu nobles were also packed together, but the delivery speed of the living is definitely not as fast as the delivery speed of the head, and it is obvious that there will be a delay on the road for a few days.
No, 10,000 dozen more than 200,000!
Not to mention that Donghu had already signed an alliance with the Yue Clan, and the combined population of the two was as high as two million, and the number of troops was close to 400,000.
Daqin sent 10,000 soldiers and horses, consumed a negligible amount of grain, grass and logistics, and directly wasted half of the opposite?
Of course, the First Emperor had no reason to be unhappy, which had greatly exceeded his expectations.
Only those who know how to fight a war know the gold content of this battle.
And Lis, too.
As the actual executor of the order to move the king's tomb, Li Si was under great pressure.
The change of the world is just around the corner, even if he is full of confidence, but before the result is decided, the pressure in Li Si's heart will still not be less than half a point.
And the victory in Longxi was like a shot in the arm, so that Li Si's long-suppressed emotions finally had an outlet.
And at this time, Zhao Si's casualness and even sleepy eyes seemed a little out of place.
"What's so unsurprising about this? That's Han Shin! Not to mention that he still has a book under his account to obey orders! Zhao Si nodded as a matter of course.
"You kid is so determined......" Li Si couldn't help but smile when he heard this, only thinking that Zhao Si was teasing him.
He knew the character of Zhao Si, this kid, when he was kept in the dark by the First Emperor, he thought that he was going to carry out the order to move the king's tomb, but this kid looked like he was going to die or live.
Han Xin is this kid's protΓ©gΓ©, so he doesn't believe that Zhao Si will not care about the situation in Longxi.
I'm afraid that this kid got the accurate news, so he got a good night's sleep.
The turmoil of the empire is about to begin, and everyone is not pure, and everyone knows that this will be a turmoil that will determine the fortunes of the Great Qin State.
"It's all said, I'm good-looking, I don't know what the ingredients of the doorman I personally selected?
If it is an official, it may not be easy for Han Xin to say, but if it is about leading the troops to fight, even if it is General Wang, I think Han Xin is not far behind, by the way, what about the Longxi war report? Let me be well-......," Zhao Si said, looking at the First Emperor.
The official only reported the good news, and the specific process was placed separately in the first emperor.
Zhao Si said that he hadn't paid attention to Longxi, that is, he really hadn't paid attention to it, but now Han Xin has won a lot, which really makes Zhao Si curious about the process of this battle.
If nothing else, this could be a war that will go down in history.
Well...... Perhaps, as history has begun to distort, Daqin has gradually shown a crushing posture towards the world, and perhaps the gold content of Han Xin's military exploits will be reduced in history.
When the First Emperor heard this, he pushed the battle report in front of him, which was a finger thick, to Zhao Si, and Zhao Si took the battle report and opened it.
Li Si glanced at Zhao Si strangely when he heard this.
"You really haven't sent anyone to understand the Longxi battle report?"
"What's wrong with sending someone to find out what this is about? I can't intervene, but I put pressure on others out of thin air. β
Zhao Si watched as he spoke, and just shook his head after reading it.
"A soldier is a soldier ......"
Sweeping away Donghu was not a surprise to Zhao Si, after all, there was no Han Xin in history who messed into Mao Dun and did it himself.
What surprised Zhao Si was Han Xin's response to the next situation and the various arrangements on the grassland in advance.
Han Xin wrote his next battle plan, that is, ploughing the court and sweeping the caves, joining forces to attack the Yueshi, preventing the Yueshi from becoming bigger, and carrying out a certain range of land exchange with the Xiongnu to collect the population of the Yueshi of Donghu.
According to Han Xin's report, by the end of the war against Donghu, he expected to harvest 200,000 people, of course, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.
Han Xin emphasized this point, and also asked the first emperor for his opinion in the letter.
If the First Emperor is willing to let them enrich the grassland, then raise them, and if the First Emperor is unwilling, he will kill them all after the fight.
Now it is definitely not possible, now he still has to keep these people as his servant army, after all, the headquarters of Daqin is only 10,000 troops, and the 60,000 Xiongnu are on the flank, as the army gradually deepens, the logistics of Daqin have been unable to continue, and they have been forced to interrupt, Han Xin must cooperate with the Xiongnu in a deeper way, and the premise of deeper cooperation is trust, and the premise of trust is that both sides have equal strength.
"What do you think?" The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si.
"Keep it......," Zhao Si spread his hands.
"Those who are Yidi and Huaxia are Huaxia; Although Confucianism is full of demons, Confucius is the only one who says that he is right. Li Si answered next to him.
In the final analysis, whether nomads go south or not depends on the stability and instability of their living environment.
During the Han and Tang dynasties, the stability of the northern border was maintained during the strong period, and the Sinicization of the barbarians was extremely successful, and the Southern Xiongnu who belonged to the Han Dynasty can be said to have died for the sake of the Han Dynasty.
As for the reason why it was difficult to achieve such a successful sinicization in the Han and Tang dynasties in the Ming and Qing dynasties, in the final analysis, it was caused by a series of factors such as the difficulty of shifting the economic center of gravity, the fertile soil of Guanzhong and the decline in grain in Hebei.
It's inside the Central Plains, and there are man-made rebellions that can't survive, let alone barbarians?
Feed them first, and then sinicize them, the focus is still on the word feeding.
Who wants to live by grazing cattle if they can cultivate the land for a living?
In short, the current Great Qin can definitely afford to feed the 200,000 people.
Not to mention that Zhao Si is already making the craftsman bureau reverse the wool weaving technology, and all kinds of high-yield crops can also maintain the food expenditure on the grassland.
The future grassland pasture is also an extremely important part of Zhao Si's plan.
"You can send a letter to Han Xin, and the affairs outside the customs can be handled by themselves." The First Emperor opened his mouth to make a conclusion.
Although the reward has not yet been issued, as soon as the First Emperor's words came out, Han Xin's status has risen to the same height as Meng Tian.
Now Han Xin can no longer obey Meng Tian's orders, and has absolute autonomy in everything outside the gate.
In short, before the army returned to Guannai, Han Xin could do whatever he wanted.
When Han Xin's class returned to the DPRK, it had become an established fact that he had entered the high-level of Daqin.
"Donghu is now defeated in a hurry, I'm afraid it is beyond everyone's expectations, and now Qianjun is tied to a shot, next, even if it is unfavorable, I am afraid they will have to deal with it, and not let Daqin have a chance to breathe......" Li Si opened his mouth to analyze the situation.
Everything is indeed going according to expectations.
The hasty death of King Donghu was beyond everyone's expectations.
No one expected that Qin Guo would choose to take the initiative between this kind of internal and external difficulties.
Punch it open!
Therefore, the slightly impetuous people in the customs have been able to settle down, while the people in the world who intend to take advantage of the opportunity to move have palpitations.
However, in any case, driven by interests, they stood on the opposite side of the Qin State, and they had to make a final choice, whether to move to Guannai and let the Qin State slaughter, or choose to rise up and fight hard......
Where the Zhao clan worshipped......
In the hall, Zhao Xie, the current patriarch of the Zhao State Sect, read the report with a gloomy face, and then handed it to the two people on the left and right.
"I never expected that King Donghu would be so stupid...... Now that the king of Donghu is dead, it is difficult for Donghu to become a big thing, and without Donghu, I am afraid that the Yue clan will not go south again...... Now that there is a black ice platform in the local area, there is a tiger staring at the government, and the soldiers of the counties and the army of the Qin State can also sit back and stare at the country with peace of mind, how should this situation be? Childe said.
"My brother hasn't started an incident yet, and if you want me to say that as long as you stay in the ancestral hall honestly, King Qin won't make a big move and kill all the clan's seedlings."
Before the two people on the left and right beside Zhao Xie could speak, a faint voice came from outside the door.
"Zhao Ying, there's no place for you to talk here, get out!"
Childe took a break, looked at the doorman guarding the door, and said angrily.
"Take her back, and you won't be allowed to go out again without my order!"
After that, Gongzi Xie looked at the left and right with an apologetic look on his face and said: "I didn't discipline my sister well, so that the two gentlemen laughed, I am only a shallow learner, I don't know how to deal with the current situation, dare to ask if the two of you may teach me?" β
Chen Yu pondered for a long time and said: "I heard that Li Mu's grandson Li Zuoche lives in Daijun, he has always been loved by the Donghu people, and he has a lot of prestige in the land of Daijun.
Now that the king of Donghu is dead, Donghu is scattered and fled, if he can get the help of Li Zuoche, in the identity of the auxiliary prince Zhao Guozong, the Daijun can pass on the name, and then you can absorb the Donghu tribe who fled south, organize it into an army, and let the prestige Li Zuoche to command, so that the prince can have useful soldiers and horses in a short time, so that he can wait and see the situation in the world and wait for the opportunity to move. β
After Chen Yu spoke, Zhang Er on the side was not to be outdone, smiled and said, "I heard that the Black Ice Platform left in Zhao Di is managed by a person named Liu Bang in Pei County.
When I was young, I served as a doorman of Xinling Jun, because of murder and fled to Waihuang, as the Waihuang Order, Liu Bang once followed me because he admired my reputation, Gongzi can send me to persuade Liu Bang to use us, even if it can't be used for us, just kill Liu Bang, Zhaodi's Black Ice Platform will be leaderless, when Gongzi gets into trouble, there is no need to have too many scruples, and the nobles who were originally afraid of Heibing Tai will inevitably secretly attach themselves to Gongzi and help Gongzi to get into trouble, so that there is money and food support, Childe will be able to pull out a sufficiently used soldier and horse in a short time. β
Zhao Xie looked at the two of them when he heard this, and his eyes flashed with hope.
"The two gentlemen are talented, and they really deserve to be friends with each other, and even their talents are not up or down, this is why God has mercy on my Zhao Guo clan, so that the two gentlemen have come to my side......"
Obviously, the dream of recovering the country in Gongzi's heart has not been extinguished.
He's not stupid, he's even a little clever.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to believe Zhang Liang's words.
Yes, no matter what, now, maybe it's his last chance, no matter how slim the chance is.
