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

Chapter 257 Kill it

Qin Mo has an old friend in the Allied Forces of the Western Regions, including all the Westerners he knows well, even including Pasade's mother and daughter, one hand is not enough.

Therefore, the guy who jumped out of the pile of dead people just wanted to use Qin Mo's name to save his life. After being brought in front of Qin Mo by the guards, the lie would be self-defeating.

"It's you?"

"It's you?"

Qin Mo and his old friend looked at each other, and couldn't help but groan in surprise.

The so-called old friend was none other than Yaqier, the chief general of the coalition army in the Western Regions and the Great Xia envoy.

He probably didn't expect that Qin Mo would personally lead the army to the plateau, so he was stunned when he saw Qin Mo, knowing that he couldn't make up a lie.

Qin Mo, on the other hand, was surprised that this Great Xia envoy would appear in the Western Region coalition forces.

Judging from the information at this stage, it is only the countries in the Western Regions that are relatively close to the feudal states of the Great Qin that are united against the Great Qin.

That is, some of the most eastern countries in the Tarim Basin!
Countries such as Dawan, Kangju, Shule, and Shache in the west did not send troops to participate... None of these countries in the Western Regions participated in the muddy waters. Are you mentally ill? !

Qin Mo's thoughts turned, and he frowned and said coldly: "This time the coalition forces from the Western Regions went to the plateau and took the initiative to provoke a dispute with our Great Qin, but the Great Xia State encouraged it?"

The Great Xia envoy did not dare to answer, but he did not dare not to answer, and fell into hesitation.

If this answer is not good, the Great Xia Kingdom will tear itself apart from the Great Qin. After the Great Qin destroys the countries in the Western Regions, the next target must be the Great Xia Kingdom.

He can't bear the responsibility of bringing the flames of war to the Great Xia Kingdom, his relatives and family are still in the Great Xia Kingdom...

Qin Mo saw his worries, and said coldly: "There are important ministers of Great Xia in the coalition forces of the Western Regions. Whether you answer or not, Great Xia is our enemy of Great Qin~!"

The Great Xia envoy's body trembled, and he silently lowered his head.

Qin Mo looked him up and down for a moment, then said again: "Since the Great Xia Kingdom also participated in the Great Qin's enemy, then Dawan, Kangju and other countries that did not send troops to participate on the surface, must have also secretly participated in it?"

The Great Xia envoy continued to remain silent.

Qin Mo looked around and found that the Qiang people around him were all staring at Daxia's envoy with gritted teeth. He couldn't help being a little dazed, and then asked again: "Is this your order to slaughter this Qiang tribe?"

The Great Xia envoy finally stopped being silent, and immediately shook his head to deny it. Half-truths and half-false lies came out of his mouth, sophistry: "I am not the chief general, how can I give the order to kill... I just killed their patriarch..."

At this time, more than ten thousand coalition forces in the Western Regions were dead, and he said that he was not the main general, and there was no proof of his death.

However, to vent his anger, he left the guards of the Chinese army and tortured and killed the leader of the Qiang people with his own hands. Under the eyes of everyone, many Qiang people saw it, so he could only bite the bullet and admit it!

……

Qin Mo had already seen the miserable condition of the corpse of the leader of the Qiang people, and recognized him as one of the leaders of the Qiang people who were envoys to the Great Qin before, and he was also an example of the leaders of the Qiang people who took the lead to join the Great Qin.

The envoy of Great Xia tortured and killed him with his own hands. One can imagine the hostility towards Da Qin in his heart. Even if the order to kill him was not given by him himself, it cannot be separated from him.

Qin Mo waved his hand, interrupted him and said, "Since that's the case, the beheaded one will be placed on the top of the Beijing Temple!"

Daxia's envoy was shocked and shouted: "I am a nobleman... I can write a letter back to Daxia and ask my relatives to pay for my redemption... just please don't kill me~!"

This time, it was Qin Mo who remained silent.

Xia Houying and Zhou Bo immediately stepped forward, dragged him away from one left and one right, and walked towards the Qiang people who were piled up in Beijing.

puff--

Swinging down the sharp blade, the roar of the Great Xia envoy stopped abruptly, and the head was picked up by a strong Qiang man, who held it high to the sky.

When the Qiang people in the mountain col saw this, they immediately burst into roars of hatred and catharsis!
Qin Mo waved his hands indifferently, and led his short-soldier guards, striding towards those Qiang children trampled to death by war horses, restraining their limbs and mutilated corpses.

Seeing this, the Qiang people gradually stopped roaring, replaced by sobbing and crying more and more.

……

In the evening, the tall Jingguan had been built, and the corpses of the Qiang people who had died tragically were also buried together.

Snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky, and they fell bigger and bigger. In an instant, the valley was covered with a layer of plain silver, and all the blood and blood were wiped out.

The bloody and ugly scene here is as if it never happened!
However, the cries of tens of thousands of Qiang people are reminding everyone of what happened in the col today!
"Now we know, who is the enemy? Who is the relative?"

Qin Mo stood in front of Zhumali in Jingguan, and asked loudly to the tens of thousands of Qiang people who were mourning and crying.

The sound reverberated in the col and clearly reached the ears of every Qiang people.

The crying stopped.

The Qiang raised his head and looked at Qin Mo who was in front of the huge Jingguan, with awe and bewilderment in his eyes.

After all, those who can understand elegant words are only a minority... The guide was busy repeating Qin Mo's words at the top of his voice.

The blankness in the Qiang people's eyes disappeared, as did the awe, leaving only endless reverence.

slam-la-

Tens of thousands of Qiang people prostrated themselves in the snow one after another, buried their heads deeply, and some people shouted in jerky, elegant words: "We were originally Qin people, and we have been Qin people for generations, killing the great enemy of Qin~!"

Qin Mo frowned, and shouted loudly: "Since you are from Qin, don't act like a barbarian and humble... Stand up!"

"The one who dares to lie down on the ground will be punished with whipping!"

The Qiang people who could understand the elegant language immediately got up from the snow and called their fellow clansmen to get up.

After that, he respectfully bowed his hands.

Qin Mo frowned, nodded and said, "Good!"

"Camp here tonight, go to rescue other tribes tomorrow, and slaughter those hozen who dare to slaughter the people of our plateau!"

No matter what you say, the Qiang people, who are full of hatred in their chests, are all excited when they hear the words, and they roar in unison with gritted teeth: "Here~!!!"

……

Taking advantage of the last twilight, the soldiers of the Qin Army set up a simple camp in the col, and then buried pots for cooking.

The horses of the Western Region coalition forces killed and injured in the battle, as well as the dead and injured livestock of the Qiang people, became ready-made food.

Simply, this place is not considered the highest point of the plateau, the water can probably be boiled, and the aroma of stewed meat wafts in the mountain depression after night falls.

Drinking a bowl of thick broth on a snowy night is undoubtedly a great enjoyment. The sadness of tens of thousands of Qiang people was slightly soothed in the food, and the military doctors and nurses began to treat their injuries.

Under the heavy snow, Qin Mo inspected the bright and dark sentries at the two mountain passes, sent them sheepskin mattresses to keep them warm, and then returned to the camp, and took the stew left by the fire-headed army for him, while eating and inspecting the medical camp for diagnosis and treatment Qiang people.

"Ever since I went to the plateau, I haven't eaten a single vegetable. Sooner or later I will be constipated and unable to poop..."

Qin Mo stuffed a piece of stewed yak meat into his mouth, and sighed while chewing.

A strong Qiang man seemed to have heard his muttering, and hurried out of the tent of the medical camp, and came back with a piece of tea cake tilted slightly, and handed it to Qin Mo respectfully: "General, drink tea, drink tea, and you will be able to recover." Shit out."

Qin Mo was dumbfounded, thinking that he led his troops to the plateau this time, it was too hasty, and he forgot that he had such good things at home.

If the soldiers each brought a few tea cakes, the problem of vitamins would be solved!

At that moment, he was not polite to the Qiang man, he stretched out his hand and broke off half of it, put it into his armor, continued to eat meat and drink soup, and said vaguely at the same time: "I see that your appearance is seven or eight percent similar to the leader of this clan. , but relatives?"

The Qiang people in their prime immediately raised their hands together and said, "It's my father."

Qin Mo suddenly nodded, looked him up and down, and said, "Do you still have brothers alive?"

The mature Qiang man's face turned dry, he hesitated and bowed his hand again: "Yes."

"Go and call."

"Here!"

The mature Qiang people responded and reluctantly left the tent.

After about a quarter of an hour, the strong Qiang people led back a dozen Qiang men. They were different in age.

Qin Mo pointed to the younger ones, and said, "Hurry up and go back to sleep, and grow up quickly so that you can avenge your father."

"Here!"

The children didn't know why, but when they heard that they would avenge their father when they grew up, they all raised their hands together and left the tent together to go back to rest.

Qin Mo watched them leave, then turned to look at the remaining chief heirs, and said, "I have a task for you."

All the people bowed their hands: "Please show me, the general."

Qin Mo took a sip of the broth, waved his hand to signal them not to be nervous, and said softly, "You and other tribes have suffered heavy injuries, the number of people has dropped sharply, and many of you survived with injuries. Going to rescue other tribes tomorrow is not good. go."

"Otherwise, going there will add to the chaos and slow down the marching speed."

"So while you have time tonight, you still need to wait to divide the personnel. Those who can participate in the battle will be compiled and registered according to the Qin Army's organizational system. I will send someone to assist you."

"At Jieshi, as many soldiers and horses as you can get, you will divide them into equal parts and fight with me!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, some looked helpless, and some looked happy.

Those who showed helplessness were probably the sons who were favored by the old chief. If the old chief was still there, even if he accepted the entrustment of Tweet, he would give them more overtly and secretly.

but now……

The person with a happy face is naturally a guy who is not loved by grandma and uncle. It is a real surprise that he can get a fair share of his father's inheritance.

Qin Mo had a panoramic view of their expressions, and said with a sassy smile, "Don't think about what you have, this is not to divide your family property..."

As he spoke, his face became serious, his smile faded away, and he said coldly: "The Qiang people have repeatedly swayed, and they have the heart to form an alliance with the wolves of the Western Regions, which caused such a catastrophe. , then let you fend for yourself, wait until you clear up the countries in the Western Regions that are empty, and then go to the plateau to slowly clean up the mess!"

"This time, I gave up my great opportunity and led my troops to the plateau. Do you still expect Daqin to continue entrusting you?"

When everyone heard the words, they were terrified.

People's hearts are always dissatisfied. If there is one thing, then there will be two.

But at this time when Qin Mo pointed it out, they realized that the disaster was caused by half-heartedness, and the Qiang people had no room to bargain with Da Qin.

Being able to survive is already the greatest kindness, even a gift, that Daqin can bestow on the Qiang people.

If you think about anything else, then you don't know good from bad!
"The reorganization is completed tonight, and I will go out with me tomorrow. Each of you will use your own skills. If you can make military exploits, you will be the general of my Great Qin. Gaojue Houlu Ranch has fertile fields!"

"If you are timid and fighting, then you should resign as soon as possible, so as not to mistake yourself and others. I will ask His Majesty for a small title for you, and go to Hexi Kingdom to be a minister of peace..."

Qin Mo's tone slowed down, and he gave two choices.

Everyone said without hesitation: "We are willing to be the general of the Great Qin!"

Timidity and battle, just kidding.

The Hexi Kingdom has been so powerful in recent years, have the Qiang people ever backed down a step?
The Qiang people can survive in this barren place on the plateau, relying on their toughness to fight against the sky, the earth, and the people. As long as they are given a way to ascend, they will dare to fight when the gods and demons come!
Qin Mo nodded in satisfaction, and said: "In addition, the elderly, weak, women, children, and the injured should return to their original pastures and fields to recuperate. If the pastures and fields have been burned by the coalition forces of the Western Regions and are not enough for the population, cattle and sheep, then they can ask the Hexi Kingdom for a loan." , and now they are all Qin people, so there is no reason not to help."

Everyone was convinced, and bowed their hands in unison: "Here~!"

Qin Mo ate the cold broth in the bowl in two or three mouthfuls, and said to Zhang Liang who was behind him: "Little House, you will lead the military mission officer to help the princes count the population, reorganize the army soldiers, register and compile books, before tomorrow Be sure to finish."

Zhang Liang raised his hand and said, "Here."

……

……

In the early morning of the next day, the heavy snow had stopped at night, and only the feet were buried deep, which did not affect the march.

However, according to experienced old Qiang people, this snowfall is probably just the beginning. In the future, until the beginning of spring next year, heavy snow will fall every three days.

This is also one of the reasons why the coalition forces of the Western Regions dared to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Qiang people and kill them on the plateau!

Because as long as they seized strategically important places and defended against danger, the possibility of Qin's army being able to counterattack the upper plateau in winter and defeat them was almost zero.

By the beginning of spring next year, they have already screened out fighters who can fight on the plateau, and even domesticated the captured Qiang people and trained them into slave soldiers. It will be even more difficult for Daqin to conquer the plateau!

of course……

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

After all, they still underestimated the power of the Qin army's firearms. The so-called defense against danger will lose their advantage in front of firearms.

Moreover, it is somewhat unrealistic to rely on heavy snow to stop Qin Jun.

There is a means of transportation called snow sledge!
……

Out of the tens of thousands of Qiang people, more than [-] battle-worthy soldiers were assembled, and they were appointed by Qin Mo as the auxiliary army. Equipped with the armor and war horses of the Allied Army of the Western Regions captured yesterday, they are quite impressive.

In this way, the number of Qin Mo's soldiers has increased to four thousand and three. During the day, they marched under the guidance of their guides to the next settlement of the Qiang tribe, and at night they worked overtime to cut wood and make sledges. The chariot is directly transformed into a sledge.

More than 4000 soldiers marched in the ice and snow, and rushed to several Qiang settlements within a few days, but all they saw were scorched earth covered by heavy snow and corpses eaten by wild animals.

It has been overwhelmed by the Allied Forces of the Western Regions!

However, judging from the remains of the corpses, these tribes had just been captured by Huo Huo not long ago, and most of them were taken away by the Allied Forces of the Western Regions.

Seeing this, Qin Mo decisively changed his strategy, no longer looking for the settlements of the Qiang tribe, but marched directly to nearby strategic locations.

beep-

The change in strategy caused the four thousand Qin army to encounter the Western Region coalition army very quickly, and the sound of horns resounded through the snow-capped mountains!
