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

Chapter 259 Untitled Untitled Untitled!

Qin Mo's tone was not serious.

It's like making a new friend and asking him if he would like to sit down and have a drink or two?
However, Zhang Liang, Liu Ji, Xia Houying, Zhou Bo, Kui... and other generals beside him were holding their swords in their hands, and the pairs of eyes exposed by Tie Zhou's face also showed awe-inspiring coldness .

This made all the leaders of the Qiang people, big and small, feel their scalps go numb, and they could only secretly smile bitterly in their hearts.

Up to now, their swaying left and right has already hurt themselves, and they no longer have the capital to bargain with Daqin.

Facing the allied forces of the Western Regions who captured the plateau, perhaps after they figure out the way and accumulate enough experience, there is still some possibility of regaining their homeland.

But now the Qin army has also gone to the plateau in an organized way, with terrifying firearms that make people desperate...

Today's Qiang people are just meat on the sticky board of Daqin!
"My family is willing to belong to Great Qin..."

A leader of the Qiang people prostrated himself at Qin Mo's feet and buried his head deeply in the snow.

The rest of the Qiang leaders looked at each other in dismay, leaned forward and prostrated themselves together: "My family is willing to join the Great Qin~!!!"

Qin Mo showed his face, picked up all the patriarchs one by one with his own hands, and said softly: "It's good, if this happened earlier, how could such a disaster happen to me, a Qiang man?"

The leaders of the various Qiangs were embarrassed, and they were all speechless.

The reason why they swing from side to side is to consider their own interests, and the tribe is their bargaining chip.

After all, for ordinary Qiang herdsmen, belonging to Daqin is definitely beneficial and harmless, and life will only get better and better.

Just like the people of the Hexi country under the plateau, they have built a lot of rich towns from nothing in a few years. The Qiang herdsmen are all envious, but anyone who can say a few words will lose their heads and go to Hexi Settled in the country...

And these patriarchs, once they belong to Daqin, will suffer the most, and the status inherited from generation to generation will be cut off.

The only advantage of being attached to Daqin is that you don't have to face Daqin's sharp soldiers, and you can die in peace...

Therefore, to a certain extent, it was their selfishness that led to the current disaster, causing the tribes to suffer along with them, slaughtered by the coalition forces of the Western Regions, and captured as slaves!
"How many soldiers and horses are there in your tent?"

After Qin Mo comforted them a few more words, he got to the point and asked.

Just now the leader of the Qiang people who took the lead to surrender was probably the leader of the leaders. Hearing this, he immediately replied: "A total of [-] people, among them there are more than [-] horsemen and cavalry, and the rest are infantry."

Qin Mo nodded, and continued to ask: "Do you know how many defenders there are in this Chiyan pass?"

The leader and the lord were immediately stopped by the question, and the rest also showed embarrassment.

They harassed the pass twice. The first time they didn't even see the Allied Forces of the Western Regions, they were stopped by the trench trap under the wall and retreated hastily.

The second time was before, before even getting close to the trench, he was defeated by the cavalry of the Western Region coalition who rushed out of the pass, and chased them out of the canyon like a grandson...

If Qin Mo hadn't happened to lead the army to arrive, there would be no escape from the 2 of them, and most of them would be caught and become slaves!
This is very embarrassing, they don't even know how many Western Region coalition forces are in Guancheng...

Qin Mo saw their embarrassment, and knew that these guys probably hadn't figured out the details of the defenders, so he didn't ask any more questions, and just went to ask the captives of the Western Region cavalry who surrendered later.

"Propaganda Zhang Liang, Sima Xiaohe... led the missionary officers and civil servants, helped the monarchs roughly reorganize the soldiers and horses, removed the old and weak, and let them return to the tribe, leaving only the strong and strong as auxiliary troops, and distributed the captured armored horses. "

"By the way, let's clean up the snow that blocked the canyon while reorganizing!"

Qin Mo gave orders to Zhang Liang and Xiao He.

The avalanche caused by the explosion of the rocket previously blocked the mouth of the canyon, and it needs to be cleaned up as soon as possible, otherwise it will be more difficult to clean up when it is frozen.

"Hey~!"

Zhang Liang and Xiao He bowed their hands to accept the order, and then led a group of embarrassing leaders of Qiang people, big and small, to leave the central army to reorganize their own troops.

Qin Mo turned to Zhou Bo and said, "Bring some officers captured by the cavalry from the Western Regions, and let's ask carefully what's going on in Chiyan Pass."

"Here!"

Zhou Bo took his orders and left.

……

……

At the same time, within Chiyan Pass!
Panting, the sentry rider got off his horse and crawled at the feet of the chief general Toliti, weeping and saying: "It's over...General Alipu, it's over..."

Snapped--

Toriti flicked his horsewhip on the sentry cavalry, interrupting his mourning and said, "What's the end? It's going to be fine, and it won't be over if you live another 100 years."

"What is the situation in the battle outside the valley, explain it carefully, and if you dare to cry, I will take your skin off as a warning to others!"

The sentry rider was terrified, busy adjusting his mood, resisting the plateau reaction after galloping the horse, and replied tremblingly: "Yes...it is Qin Jun, Qin Jun is here..."

Toliti nodded with a gloomy expression. He had seen the explosion outside the canyon just now on the Guancheng, and he already had guesses about it.

Only the legendary Qin Army firearms have the power of a god that can cause an avalanche!

And Qin Jun's going to the plateau was unexpected and reasonable, just be prepared to defend desperately!

The sentry cavalry continued tremblingly: "When I climbed up to the snow that blocked the entrance of the valley to check, the number of three thousand cavalry who came out of the valley to pursue it was less than two thousand, and they were...surrendering to the Qin army..."

Toriti's face became more gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and cursed the cavalry general for his brainlessness. Since he met the Qin army, he should have withdrawn early. Wouldn't it be death to go up and fight recklessly?

Is it true that the Qin army who wiped out the Dayue clan and the Xiongnu is also like the Qiang people?

He didn't know that the [-] cavalry were actually confused by the Qin army's hidden flags and armored clothes. If they knew that it was the Qin army in front of them, and gave them ten more courage, they would not dare to rush up foolishly and face them head-on. fry……

"Huh, how many Qin troops are there?"

Toriti took a deep breath and asked with a frown.

The sentinel hurriedly replied: "Guanjiayi, there are about [-] real Qin troops, all of whom are iron armored cavalry... There are another thousand or five, who seem to be Qiang people, but wearing our Western Regions-style armor and using armored cavalry. The weapons of our Western Regions..."

Toriti's body trembled, and he immediately remembered Yaqier's troops who had not heard from him for several days. The Qin army was wiped out...

That guy has more than [-] Western Region Allied Forces under his command, which is [-]% more than his [-] troops.

Moreover, because of his strength, none of the generals in the Western Regions dared to compete with him, and he was equipped with the most sophisticated armor.

The more than [-] elites of the Western Regions who were serious and honest were completely wiped out by [-] cavalry of the Qin Army, and not even a messenger escaped.

How could Qin Jun not be afraid of such a terrifying combat power?
Now, of the [-] soldiers and horses in his hands, [-] were eaten by the Qin army, and they were the most elite [-] cavalry.

With the remaining [-] pawns, he really had no idea whether he could hold the Chiyan Pass under the attack of the terrifying Qin army!
In addition, in this pass city, besides the [-] infantry under his command and a large number of young and middle-aged Qiang slaves, there are also tens of thousands of Qiang warriors who actively formed an alliance with the Western Region coalition forces.

Among the Qiang tribes, there are those who tend to belong to the Great Qin, and naturally some are more willing to form an alliance with the Western Regions, and be the leader of the party...

After all, the Qiang people themselves are not monolithic and have not yet formed a national identity. Belonging to the Great Qin or forming an alliance with the Western Regions is just a choice for each Qiang tribe, nothing more.

There is no sense of guilt for betraying the ethnic group.

And as long as they help the Allied Forces of the Western Regions to gain a firm foothold on the plateau and resist the attack of the Qin Army, the leaders will be able to keep their dignity passed down from generation to generation!
Of course, these Qiang tribes can form an alliance with the Western Regions Allied Forces. When the leading party massacres and enslaves their own ethnic groups, if necessary, they will also betray the Western Regions Allied Forces and turn to the embrace of Daqin.

Like now!

If the tens of thousands of Qiang warriors in Guancheng knew that the coalition forces of the Western Regions were vulnerable to the Qin army, they might turn their backs without hesitation and offer the pass to the Qin army.

The tens of thousands of Qiang warriors were not affected by the altitude sickness, so they were supposed to be the backbone of the defense. The Allied Forces of the Western Regions only needed to teach them how to defend the city and take on the responsibility of supervising the battle.

But now, it suddenly became a ticking time bomb!

Once the Qin army broke through, under the pursuit of the Qiang people who were not affected by the altitude sickness, he, Toriti, and the Western Regions army under Wuqian's command, I am afraid that none of them could escape, and he followed in the footsteps of the Great Xia general Yaqier... …

"Get pen and ink, it's impossible not to ask for help!"

Toriti ordered his personal guards to fetch pens and ink, and wrote several earnest letters of appeal for help on rice paper imported from Daqin.

Afterwards, several teams of cavalry messengers were sent to the various units of the Western Region Allied Forces who were training in strategically important places elsewhere to ask for help.

After finishing asking for help, Toliti called in the head of the bodyguard again, and the two whispered to each other, "Then the ten thousand Qiang auxiliary army can't stay, or they will rebel sooner or later. You prepare a banquet... Arrange the knives and axes." Let's get rid of all their leaders, big and small, first!"

"Then, in the name of replacing the Qiang warriors with fine armor, they confiscated their weapons first... At that time, you waited for the lambs to be slaughtered, and all of them were imprisoned with the slaves... Drive them away after the Qin army cleared the blockage Before the canyon is covered with snow, the walls will continue to be strengthened and raised!"

Although he has no confidence in guarding the city, this arrangement can be described as rigorous.

If everything goes well, the success rate of defending Guancheng will increase by at least [-]%.

This is the reason why the heroes of the world should not be underestimated!

The head of the personal guard nodded repeatedly and took the order to go.

"and also……"

Tuoriti suddenly called the head of the guard again, and said: "When we wiped out the Qiang tribe last time, we captured the Qin nobleman and his entourage. Take good care of him. That is our last trump card. You can use it to negotiate conditions with Qin Jun."

The head of the personal guard took orders again and hurried down to make arrangements.

Toriti watched his back go away, and turned to look at the canyon entrance blocked by the avalanche, thinking about what omissions he hadn't considered...

……

That night, Qin Mo saw in the camp that Chiyan Pass suddenly burst into flames, and the sound of killing shook the night sky.

The generals and officers who knew the situation in Guancheng could probably guess that it was probably because of the conflict between the coalition forces of the Western Regions and the Qiang people who led the way.

The adventurous people immediately proposed to send elites to walk over the snow that blocked the mountain pass and take the opportunity to attack the pass.

For example, Zhang Liang and Liu Ji: "My lord, don't come when the opportunity is too late, take it as a decision!"

But there are also conservatives who shook their heads again and again, saying that the chaos in Guancheng was not a way to lure the enemy. They wanted to lure our Qin army to attack the city and then defeat it, or even ambush and wipe it out.

If this is the case, the elite of our Qin army will be killed, the morale will inevitably be hit, and the Qiang auxiliary army will also be unstable.

If morale is lost, it will be difficult to attack the pass in the future!

For example, Xiao He and Cao Shen said: "My lord, our army has the advantages of firearms. No matter when we attack the pass, we can always defeat the enemy. It just takes more time. Why do we need to take risks?"

The two parties, the father said that the father was right and the mother said that the mother was right, and they couldn't stop arguing for a while.

Qin Mo Ning frowned for a moment before opening his mouth and said, "Everything you say is true, so there's no need to argue... How about we take an intermediate value?"

All the people in the debate were stunned, and Liu Ji couldn't wait to ask: "What is the median value?"

Qin Mo pointed to the entrance of the canyon blocked by snow, and solemnly ordered: "Assemble the first and second thousand teams, and [-] auxiliary troops immediately, bring rockets and heartless cannons, and the simple Ladder, let’s go up to the snow that blocks the entrance of the valley, and then drop dozens of rockets into Guancheng and bomb him.”

"If the chaos in Guancheng is just to lure the enemy, then when the rocket bombs are bombarded, the defenders in Guancheng will not be able to act."

"If at the time of the bombing, the chaos in Guancheng was still there, and the two sides were still fighting, then nine out of ten, the Western Region Allied Forces and the Qiang tribe in Guancheng really started to fight each other."

"Jieshi, it's not too late for us to take advantage of the chaos and attack the pass!"

The generals nodded when they heard this, and their eyes lit up.

Liu Jiyi bowed his hands, and the flattery came, saying: "Your Majesty is worthy of being a general in a hundred battles. This arrangement can be described as seeking stability in danger, steady and strange, and the general will admire it!"

Qin Mo was speechless and cast a blank glance at the big man's ancestor, and said solemnly: "Masters, hurry up and gather troops, otherwise you will really miss the opportunity if you are late."

"Here."

All the people took the order together, and Sa Yazi ran away wildly.

Slightly tilted, shouts resounded through the camp, the first and second thousand teams, in the light of lamp oil torches, quickly assembled under the banners of their respective thousand generals, five hundred generals, hundred generals, and village chiefs....

But the movement of the [-] Qiang people's auxiliary army was a bit slow. The soldiers were dizzy, and the generals ran all over the ground.

Qin Mo frowned and felt helpless. At the critical moment, it was difficult for him to rely on these Qiang people who hadn't even received the basic training to fight the night raid.

However, the Qin army was all affected by altitude sickness. If the siege was blocked, they really couldn't do without these Qiang warriors who were not affected by altitude sickness, and were naturally tough and fearless!
"Liu Jibu, stay and assist the auxiliary army to assemble."

"The rest of the troops follow me and lead the flag forward!"

Qin Mo quickly adjusted the military orders, led [-] Qin troops, and left the camp on horseback for Taniguchi.

When browsing through the snow at the mouth of the valley, the war horses are no longer needed, but before arriving at the mouth of the valley, the war horses can still be used, everything is based on speed.

Come as fast as you want, otherwise you won't be able to keep up with the hot ones!
