Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 195 Prime Minister Qin, This Doesn't Look Like a Caravan!

"Report..."

Yingzheng's joy has not yet passed, and another road-exploring guard rushed back, got off his horse and worshiped: "Your Majesty, the ministers could not find the trace of Qin Xiang and Wu students, but they did not turn back and continued to Longxi County. went."

"Also, divide into two teams and rush to Longxi."

"The front team is headed by the right minister Feng Quji, the left minister Meng Tian, ​​and the former captain Ma Xing. They all traveled lightly and quickly."

"The rest are the rear team, headed by the old minister Wang Wan, the latter minister Li Si, and the minister of the Ministry of Finance Mao Jiao, and they will be accompanied by cars..."

The road-finding guards will report the situation they know in detail.

Old Meng Wu pondered for a while, then analyzed: "Your Majesty, everyone knows that Prime Minister Qin and Wu students will train all the way to Longxi County."

"Thus, they want to rush forward with light cavalry, rush to Longxi County to intercept Prime Minister Qin and the martial arts students, and then the large troops will encircle and suppress them..."

"Hey, it's not encirclement..."

"It should be to persuade Prime Minister Qin together to participate in reducing the proportion of internal treasury expenditures from the national treasury!"

The corner of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched: "..."

These old coffins, do you want to be so exaggerated?

Even the art of war has been used. If you give the internal treasury a little more support, can you die?

"It's just too deceitful~!"

Ying Zheng gritted his teeth viciously, looked at Zhao Gao and said, "Go again, no matter what method you use, you must find Qin Qing before those old coffins..."

"Tell him, I accept his advice, and I will make a ratio of one hundred and five."

"In addition, he has made great achievements in rectifying the martial arts hall. If he wants any reward, he can take it from Zhuqing. I will never stop it~!"

Zhao Gao was a little confused, but when he realized it, he almost laughed out loud.

After a moment of astonishment, old Meng Wu and the nearby guards hurriedly suppressed their laughter.

Your Majesty broke the can and hurt each other with the courtiers and ministers, and actually encouraged Qin Mo to trick them.

Resentment should not be too deep!
"Well..."

Zhao Gao was afraid that he would laugh out loud, so he lowered his head and bowed his hands to accept orders, then quickly got on his BMW, led two spare horses, and left the team.

……

……

Qin Mo really didn't expect that the ministers would have such great perseverance to keep chasing after him.

Therefore, in order to get rid of them, just like what old Meng Wu said, the martial arts students chose to go into the mountains and hide their tracks.

This can be regarded as a real actual march, and within two days of walking, the annoying rain started to fall again.

The martial arts students were miserable, so they could only greet the female relatives of the courtiers and officials cordially one by one in their hearts... Continue to grit your teeth and march!
In the end, the martial arts students were numb, and after eating and sleeping every day, they marched mechanically.

It wasn't until they arrived at the junction of Guanzhong and Longxi that the marching team encountered an emergency, which made the martial arts students suddenly become energetic.

"Are bandits and bandits intercepting and killing the caravan? Go down and help chop off a few heads!"

"Are you using the binoculars as a mallet? You can see clearly that both sides are barbarians. Dogs eat dogs."

"I heard that these Hu merchants have always been merchants and bandits outside the territory. When they encounter caravans that are weaker than themselves, they will slaughter and plunder them!"

"Dare to be so unscrupulous in my Daqin territory, you must not be a serious businessman. If you don't go straight on a good concrete road, you will go into the mountains in the rain..."

Several martial arts students lay on the ridge, holding binoculars to watch the bloody fight in the valley.

Those were two Hu merchant teams, both of which were in the hundreds or so, and they fought each other mercilessly, and their brains were about to come out.

The point is that when the two teams of Hu merchants attacked each other, their offense and defense were quite organized.

The shields on both sides were on top of the shields, and a bronze sword and a short bronze spear protruded from the top of the shields or from the gaps, stabbing at each other frantically.

And behind the two forwards, there are throwers and archers, stones, spears, feather arrows, and they greet each other non-stop!

Later, Qin Mo led most of the martial arts students to arrive and blocked the two exits of the mountain pass.

"Qin Xiang, this doesn't look like a caravan."

Fusu moved closer to Qin Mo's side, and reminded him in a low voice.

Qin Mo nodded. The Hu merchants fighting between these two teams are not just like caravans, they are just serious military battles.

And the two sides are definitely elite old soldiers... Shield on shield, face to face stabbing each other, anyone who has almost any psychological quality will collapse long ago.

Only the elite veterans who have been in battle for a long time can have such a toughness that disregards life and death.

Ignore the life and death of others, and also ignore my own life and death!

bang——

boom--

In the depression, one of the parties threw a black clay pot, and the resulting explosion and flames disrupted the formation of the other party, and screams filled the depression.

Originally, Qin Mo was just in the mood of watching the fun, thinking that they would all be arrested and interrogated after they would lose both.

Use swords and soldiers in the territory of Daqin, and wait for a lifetime of hard labor!
However, after seeing this scene, his brows were furrowed, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "Pass my military order, don't let anyone go~!"

"Here."

Kun took the order with his hands in his arms, swept along the ridge like flying, and quickly went to the other side of the col to deliver the order.

In the battle in the mountain depression, after an explosion, the winner was quickly decided, and the side whose formation was blown apart began to flee in defeat.

The other party launched a pursuit and beat the dog in the water!

In the battle between the two armies, it seemed that the battle was in full swing, but in fact, the casualties were all the forwards. If you look at the entire army formation, you will find that the casualties are not large.

When there are really heavy casualties, it is often near the end of the battle.

Because at that time, it is usually one side that starts to lose, exposing its back to the winner, and then there is a one-sided pursuit and massacre.

For example, the team of Hu merchants who fled in the col at this time...

When their formation was blown apart, there were still 80 to [-] people, but when they started to flee, most of them were beheaded by the pursuers in an instant.

The remaining dozen or so people snatched camels and horses, and fled to the exit of the col in panic!

call out--

Duo——

A feathered arrow was shot from outside the mountain pass and accurately hit a fallen dead tree.

The dozen or so Hu merchants who were running for their lives were about to steer their horses and camels to jump over the dead tree, when they saw a feathered arrow suddenly shot at it, they couldn't help being frightened, Qi Qi reined in the reins, and looked at the shot in horror Outside the mountain pass of Feather Arrow.

But immediately, Qiqi was taken aback!
"Get off your horse and kneel down immediately to avoid death..."

Some martial arts students shouted loudly, regardless of whether the fleeing Hu merchants could understand.

squeak-

And as the martial arts student shouted, there was a teeth-piercing sound of bows and strings being drawn in the formation of martial arts students under the rain.

The voice was undoubtedly simple and easy to understand. The dozen or so fleeing Hu merchants turned over without hesitation, got off their horses and camels, and surrendered on the ground with their hands raised high!
The victorious Hu merchants who were chasing after them, seeing Qin Jun appearing in front of them, subconsciously turned around and fled to the other exit.

But they didn't take two steps before they found a Qin army of more than 200 people at the exit of the col in the rear!

"If you don't kneel down again, you will be killed without mercy~!!!"

The martial arts students shouted again, their ferocious aura was undoubtedly revealed.

Those Hu merchants who were excited to chase and kill their opponents a moment ago suddenly fell into a dilemma, and riots inevitably appeared in the team.

But the commotion subsided after a while. A Hu merchant wearing a linen breastplate stepped forward to the formation where Qin Mo was, bowed his chest, and spoke with a blunt and strange accent, neither humble nor overbearing. Said: "Respected Qin Guojun..."

call out--

A feathered arrow shot right at the foot of the Hu Shang in the breastplate, and then shouted again: "Since you can understand people's words, then I will warn you for the last time, and don't kneel down and kill without mercy!"

Once he has used a sword, he is already a sinner, and no one wants to hear him rap.

Even if you have something to say, you have to give up your arms and surrender before talking!
The beard of the Hu merchant in breastplate trembled, and he looked behind him helplessly.

Then, obediently dropped the Qi knife in his hand, and obediently raised his hands high and prostrated on the ground.

As he abandoned his weapons and surrendered, the rest of the barbarians also put down their weapons in unison, and lay on the ground with their hands raised high.

But after all the Hu people got down, there was a handsome man with blond hair and blue eyes in bronze armor. He looked about 30 years old, less than [-] years old, and he was very eye-catching in his prime.

He just dropped the weapon, but he didn't lie on the ground!

The martial arts students didn't care about these details, and quickly separated a village to collect their discarded weapons.

The other two villages rushed forward and tied up all the Hu people who surrendered.

Including the strong and handsome man with his neck raised and unwilling to lie down on the ground, the martial arts student was directly pressed to the ground, and his hooves were tied upside down.

Later, the martial arts students searched for the lucky Hu people who were injured but survived the battle between the two caravans, and confiscated the livestock and goods of the two caravans!

"I want to see the honorable general, we are innocent."

"They attacked us first, and we will fight back!"

"It's really not the dispute we provoked, we were just defending..."

The flax armored merchant who spoke first, and the bronze armored merchant who had lost his dignity both yelled in strangely elegant words.

But no one pays any attention to them!
Qin Mo went to inspect the confiscated weapons, as if he was looking for something, then he turned his attention to the horses and camels that were carrying the goods.

After a long while, he finally found a black earthen pot fixed with a rattan basket to absorb shock from the back of a golden sweat horse.

After opening the seal, a familiar pungent smell immediately wafted out of it, it was gasoline!

Qin Mo's face revealed a look of sentimentality, and he sniffed greedily.

Like the mouse king in "The Adventures of the Sloppy King", he likes to smell gasoline since he was a child.

When I was young, in my hometown in the countryside, I even chased passing cars, sniffing the exhaust very silly.

Later, when I grew up and worked in the city, I probably smelled too much, but I was a little disgusted.

But now, after many years, he smelled the familiar smell of gasoline again, and he was a little overwhelmed again...

"Ugh, this is... is this the smell of stone paint?"

The sound of retching suddenly sounded beside him, waking Qin Mo up from his intoxication.

Turning around to look, it was Fusu.

The gluttonous prince, seeing Qin Mo holding a black clay pot and sniffing it over and over again as if he was tasting delicious food, he also leaned over and took a sniff, and almost passed out!

Qin Mo smiled and said, "Shiqi...it seems to be called that."

"However, the stone paint in this jar is clearer and thinner than our Daqin stone paint, and it is also more flammable. It must have been processed!"

As he spoke, he poured some gasoline out of a clay pot and poured it on the rain-stained ground.

Then, he took out a match from under the coir raincoat, lit one and threw it on the ground.

call--

The flames rose up, spontaneously ignited without firewood, and burned in the rain and mud.

Fusu's eyes didn't fall off, and he said in horror: "This... what kind of demon fire is this? How can it burn in water?"

Qin Mo explained with a smile: "This is not a demon fire, it's just processed and purified stone lacquer."

Fusu was a little dazed, and then doubted: "The explosion that resembled a thunderbolt just now was caused by this processed and purified stone lacquer?"

Qin Mo nodded: "It should be so!"

Fusu turned to look at the bound barbarians, and a look of deep fear flashed in his eyes: "I didn't expect that a place outside the territory would have mastered such a craft. It's really true that there are people outside the world!"

Qin Mo held the black clay pot and walked towards the two Hu merchants who were still shouting.

Fusu seemed to know what he wanted to do, and hurriedly followed suit.

"General... Honorable General, we are really forced to fight back... You shouldn't punish us."

The Hu merchant in linen armor saw the two coming, and hurriedly explained.

Qin Mo knew that he was not lying. The caravan they defeated was indeed very strange. There were only food and water on the backs of the horses and camels, and no merchandise at all.

Caravans from outside the territory traveled thousands of miles to Daqin, no matter when they came or when they went back, they must bring enough merchants to make money.

An extraterritorial caravan without goods, don't be too weird!
"The caravan defeated by you is not so much a caravan as an army."

"Did they come to hunt you down on purpose?"

"It can attract a group of elite soldiers to chase you from thousands of miles away...and you are also first-class old soldiers who are good at fighting."

"Thinking about it, the identity is not ordinary."

Qin Mo frowned and tried to guess, and finally said with a sudden look of coldness: "Don't think about sophistry, I watched the whole process of your battle just now, and you are definitely not ordinary foreign merchants!"

The flax armored Hu merchant, who was eager to defend himself, was suddenly stumped, tongue-tied and at a loss as to what to say.

He knew in his heart that if he dared to tell lies, his head would most likely fall to the ground in the next moment.

Therefore, he didn't dare to answer casually, but squinted at the man in bronze armor next to him, as if asking for his opinion.

The bronze-armored Hu Shang lowered his head with a guilty conscience, and did not look at him, let alone Qin Mo.

bang——

Qin Mo raised his foot and turned him upside down, and said coldly, "You look pretty good, if you want me to continue to treat you as a prisoner of war, then continue to pretend!"

"Humph~!"

The fake beard on the bronze armor merchant's lips fell off, and he raised his head proudly, but it was undoubtedly a woman.

Qin Mo withdrew his foot: "Tell me, what are your identities, why did you come to my Daqin, and you were hunted down?"

"If you don't make it clear, I'll treat you as insignificant guests... All of you will be beheaded for public display~!"
