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

Chapter 279 The lord has an order, and I will send you on the road tomorrow!
"My lord, please spare my life... oh my life..."

The personal guards dragged down the leader of the Yaoqiang tribe who was howling and begging for mercy, and in front of all the captured Yaoqiang tribe, under the last ray of sunset, executed the death penalty by beheading at the waist.

The members of the Rao and Qiang tribe who were forced to watch the torture were all silent and bewildered.

From their arrogance to Qin Jun making them realize the reality, it took only half an hour before and after, and the gap came too suddenly and too big.

As a result, the huge gap and frustration caused them to lose the tenacity that the Qiang people should have at this moment, leaving only a sense of loss and fear in their hearts!
However, regarding their disposal, when Qin Mo issued the order to siege the city, he had already explained: [Youth and adult are all hard labor, and they can only be pardoned after ten years~! 】

This order directly cut off their chance to join the Qin army, and punished them for their arrogance of harming others and themselves.

But compared to the real captives of the Western Regions, they are undoubtedly lucky. They only serve the sentence of hard labor, and after the sentence is over, they can return to life and become citizens of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Moreover, hard labor is also different from hard labor. It seems that people like them who have a prison term will at least not die of freezing and starvation. Perhaps hard labor will be better for them than living under the pressure of the leader. It is not known.

This is not a joke, look at the clothes of the leader of the Yaoqiang tribe who was cut in half, wearing a Qin-style battle armor on the outside, and a Shu brocade cotton robe on the inside.

This outfit is not something ordinary people can enjoy in Daqin!

Especially for war armor, the Qin law strictly forbids private manufacturing and sales, and merchants risked their heads to make it, and then trafficked it from the Great Qin to the Western Regions. The value is even more conceivable.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the number is astronomical!

But the small Rao Qiang tribe has only [-] people, but the leader can afford such an outfit. If he is said to be a good leader who is honest and hardworking for the public, I am afraid that he will be laughed out of his teeth.

From this, it is not difficult to imagine how it squeezes the crowd on weekdays!

"My lord, how should we deal with the old people and children of the Raoqiang tribe?"

After the execution, Xiao He, Sima of the Chinese Army, approached Qin Mo, who was staying in the chief's mansion in the city, and asked for instructions.

Qin Mo only gave the order to deal with the young and strong, but there were more old people and children than the young and strong, which made Xiao He, who was in charge of the military affairs, into trouble.

Qin Fa has always paid attention to continuous sitting, one person commits a crime, and the whole family and even the whole clan will be punished, which will increase the cost of crime to the maximum...

But Xiao He didn't dare to be the master, so he could only ask Qin Mo for instructions.

"Children who have not yet developed their wisdom will be sent to the Hexi Palace to be raised after the Western Regions are pacified...Listen clearly, they are just raised, not eunuchs. When they grow up, they will be naturalized."

"The rest, young and old, are forced to work together with the young and strong. They will be pardoned after five years in prison!"

After pondering for a while, Qin Mo gave an answer.

Xiao He bowed his hands emotionally: "My lord has considered everything well, it should be so... I will leave."

"There are a lot of miscellaneous things, and you are too tired."

Qin Mo sent a heartwarming word, expressing that he remembered his contribution.

Xiao He raised his hands again, but before he could turn around and leave, there was the sound of horseshoes outside the hall, and immediately he saw a guard knight with a command flag on his back and a weathered face, quickly stepped into the hall.

"Report to my lord, General Meng Tian has a good news~!"

The knight took off the cowhide barrel behind him, raised his hands and said hoarsely.

Qin Mo raised his eyebrows, quickly stepped down from the high seat, took the cowhide container with his own hands, opened it, and took out the paper inside to read.

At the same time, he said to the guards on both sides of the guard: "It's good to settle down and report the victory, and all of them will be recorded as first-class military merit."

"Here."

The personal guard bowed his hands to accept the order, and took the victorious knight with a face full of wind and frost, and left to rest.

Xiao He didn't leave either, he was curious and stretched his neck to see the good news in Qin Mo's hands, but he didn't dare to really look at it, so he could only wait helplessly.

Qin Mo read the ten lines at a glance, and he praised: "Senior Meng Tian is indeed a general who has been stationed in the frontier fortress for several years. He has dealt with the cavalry outside the fortress a lot, and now he is very proficient in fighting with cavalry!"

As he said that, he handed the victory report to Xiao He who was eagerly watching beside him, and said with a smile: "The cavalry led by senior Meng Tian have already cut off the supply line of the Western Region coalition forces at the front line before we arrived, and there are [-] Qiang cavalry blocking the way. Don't even think about transporting supplies to the front line within the time limit..."

Xiao He quickly read the victory report, his face was filled with joy, he nodded and praised repeatedly: "General Meng Tian's use of troops this time is really fast!"

Qin Mo took the paper again, waved his hand and said, "Senior Meng Tian marched quickly, but the pressure is on our side."

"The next step is to see if we can seize the opportunity and cooperate with Han Xin to destroy the 10,000+ Western Region coalition forces that have run out of supplies!"

Xiao He was stunned for a moment, and then the joy on his face gradually faded away.

Although he is not good at military matters, he is extremely intelligent and sensitive. He can comprehend some words without saying too much, so he pondered: "I'm afraid it's difficult to grasp this opportunity."

"General Meng Tian marched so fast, the cities he passed along the way must be able to go around and around... just like this city of Qiang..."

"Raoqiang City is just a tiny city, which can be broken in a single blow, but there are not a few strong cities behind it, and the miscellaneous people in the Western Regions must fight to the death in order to protect their homeland."

"If our army fights city by city, it will take an incalculable amount of time... I'm afraid we will miss the opportunity!"

This was also Qin Mo's concern, so he nodded in appreciation for his proper analysis.

Xiao He felt that he was playing tricks, so he raised his hands in embarrassment and said: "My lord, whether to summon the generals to come and discuss it, there may be a trick."

Qin Mo nodded first, but then shook his head, waved to Xiao He, motioned him to come over, and muttered: "You can go to Liu Ji first, and ask him to lead his troops to cooperate with you in a play..."

Xiao He nodded as he listened. At first, he was still a little confused, but when Qin Mo finished speaking, he probably understood his intentions. His eyes shone brightly and he raised his hands and said, "I understand, this strategy will definitely destroy the fighting spirit of the defenders in the Western Regions."

Qin Mo sighed and smacked his lips. Talking to smart people is easy, so he said again: "Whether my method is feasible or not is actually two things to say."

"After you and Liu Ji pass the breath, you might as well inform the generals in the army and ask them if they have any good ideas. If there are any ideas, no matter whether they are good or bad, you can come and talk to me. There is nothing wrong with what you say. reward."

"Hey~!"

Xiao He bowed his hands again and walked away quickly.

Qin Mo watched him leave, and said to the captain of the personal guard, Kui: "Kui, if the generals are here, please bring them to see me immediately... I'll go and see how my little sister is injured."

"My lord is indeed a role model for my generation."

Kui showed a wretched expression that any man could understand, and he raised his hands in praise.

Perhaps most of the guards didn't know it, and they only regarded Lu Xiaomei as an internal official sent by Ying Zheng to help take care of Danshu and Zidu, who was somewhat related to Qin Mo.

But Kui was different, he and Lu Zhi were old friends, they had been with Qin Mo in Baiyue, and they knew that Lu Xiaomei was Lu Zhi's younger sister.

Lu Pheasant has long been one of Qin Mo's fiancées... a big wedding is going to be held after the war, but this little sister of Lu Pheasant and Qin Mo's brother-in-law...cough cough cough...

Man, it's really eating from the bowl and looking at the pot!

"Rolling the ball..."

Qin Mo didn't bother to ignore him, so he left the lobby quickly after saying "Chinese essence".

……

Lu Xiaomei just had an operation in the morning. Although she was traveling in a van, it was unavoidably bumpy and painful.

When Qin Mo came to her bedroom, the little girl was lying on the bed with a pale face, moaning and whimpering in pain, Dan Shu and Zi Zi were beside her, but they couldn't help her, she could only touch her tears in distress, and her voice was milky. comfort her.

This scene made Qin Mo feel inexplicably guilty!
There is no doubt that Ying Zheng's goal has been achieved.

He wanted to use his family to bind Qin Mo. Now that Qin Mo is not yet married, he already feels the weight of that responsibility.

I don't know when, Qin Mo is no longer a lone cloud and wild crane. His safety and happiness are also related to the safety and happiness of those around him.

Doing as you please, you will probably be insulated from him in the future...

"Go and invite the doctor to check Lu Xiaoniang's wound."

Qin Mo exited the door and instructed the guards behind him.

"Here."

The personal guard was busy taking orders, but before he could leave, Miss Lu's voice came from the bedroom: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I'm fine...there will be a big battle in the evening, and there will be a lot of wounded in the army, so let's hold on to them first." , the safety of the soldiers is paramount.”

"it is good."

Qin Mo agreed, and winked at the hesitant guard.

The personal guard understood, slowed down, and left lightly.

Qin Mo stepped into the bedroom again, and said to Xiaomei Lu on the couch, "Danshu and Zidu still have some painkillers in their emergency kits. I will decoct some for you, and the wound will not hurt after drinking it."

Lu Xiaomei was in unbearable pain just now, and she probably didn't realize that Qin Mo had come in once. Hearing what he said, she frowned, pretending to be relaxed and funny: "I said, the wound doesn't hurt, brother-in-law, don't let me drink those Bitter medicine soup."

"Well... If you really have time, you might as well make me Dunmai noodles. Ever since I went to the plateau, I always eat highland barley noodles. The taste is weird. I'm tired of eating them~!"

When Dan Shu and Zi heard that there were wheat noodles to eat, they immediately regained their spirits. They looked at Qin Mo with two pairs of Danfeng eyes that were exactly like Ying Zheng, hoping that he would agree.

Even though the two children received the best care in the army, they can suffer the hardships of fighting in the army, but it doesn't mean that they don't have it, and it is true that they have suffered with him!

Qin Mo looked at it heartily, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll make wheat noodles for you... But, little girl, you just had an operation on your abdomen, so it's still up to you whether you can eat in the past two days or not. You need to let the doctor see it. If you really can't eat, Danshu and Zi will eat in a while, so don't let yourself be fooled!"

Lu Xiaomei is a standard and thorough foodie. Hearing this, she couldn't hold back the feigned relaxation on her face to prevent Qin Mo from worrying. She wailed, "How can this be... ah..."

……

……

In fact, it was not only Lv Xiaomei who was hungry at this time, the more than [-] Qin soldiers were also hungry. They had been marching all the way since they broke up the camp with premature food in the morning. Then in the evening, the siege began again.

Therefore, the more than [-] Qin troops are really starving at this time!
After the gang leaders entered the city, they began to cook food with all their strength, but it finally took time. By the time they cooked the food, the soldiers were so hungry that their eyeballs turned green.

"It's dinner time... Hurry up, the freshly steamed horse meat buns, and Hu spicy soup, hurry up and eat while it's hot, don't let it get cold!"

Outside the captive camp where the Rao and Qiang tribes were held, the Huo Tou army brought food for the guards.

The guards, who were already starving, were not polite. They grabbed a few super-sized horse meat buns in one hand, and the delicious Hu spicy soup in the big bowl with the other, and ate madly without being too hot.

The fragrance spread into the noses of the people of the Rao and Qiang people, and the sound of Gou's swallowing saliva was endless.

"Gudu...is this the food of Qin people?"

"The patriarch used to brag about how good the food of the Qin people was, but I think he was being petty. I'm afraid he has never eaten it... Gudu, this is simply not the food that should be in the world!"

"I don't know, if we will do hard labor for Daqin in the future, will we be able to eat such a fairy-like delicacy... Gudu..."

"I think it's a beautiful thing. This is a big victory. They reward the three armies with delicious food, and those who do hard labor have a bowl of soup to drink. Let's thank the God of the Snow Mountain~!"

The members of the Luo and Qiang tribes looked at the gobbling soldiers of the Qin army, and couldn't help muttering to their companions. There were optimists who couldn't help but start thinking wildly, but there were also pessimists who poured cold water with their mouths open. .

But in the final analysis, they knew their future destiny. At worst, they would serve Daqin for ten years of hard labor, and then they could serve the people of Qin in an upright manner. Therefore, they were no longer pessimistic and hopeless, so they were free to talk and talk to themselves.

As for the toil of hard labor... Huh, Qiang people are born to endure hardship, if they are afraid of suffering, are they still called Qiang people?

"Hey, from the Aries department, how about that meat-stuffed raw bomb? I'll make it fun!"

A Qiang woman couldn't bear the temptation of delicious food, and yelled at the guards who ate and drank wildly.

Her yell was a word that awakened the dreamer, and many women immediately followed suit, offering to exchange skin and meat for delicious food.

There were even some men from the Qiang Dynasty who shouted that they were willing to trade flesh and blood for delicacies...

In the Qiang people's conception, this is nothing, but it is a normal thing. The weak submit to the strong, and they get food and worship, no matter what, including life!
But when the guards heard the shout, they just froze for a moment, then gave them an indifferent look with the eyes of the dead, and then continued to eat and drink.

The men and women of the Yao and Qiang tribes were very tenacious, seeing that they ignored them, they kept yelling.

In the end, the guards and soldiers had enough food and drinks, and were annoyed enough by them, took the remaining buns and threw them in, and said coldly: "Eat, try the delicacies of the Qin people, reincarnate in the next life, don't forget this taste , if you cast another miscellaneous child, you will die early again..."

Rao and Qiang men and women were still vying for buns, but they were all stunned when they heard this, and then their faces changed abruptly, and they asked in a quick voice: "What is reincarnation? Why do we die early? We don't want to do hard labor ?"

The guard officer said impatiently: "The army has no food to waste on you, the lord has an order to send you on the road tomorrow!"
