my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 171 Zhang Liang!Zhang Liang!
The faster the "Huns" escaped, the more excited the leaders of the Guishuang tribe behind were. Looking at Han Xin's team, it was like seeing a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

My heart is full of the credit that is about to be achieved.

Where can I even think about it.

In the darkness, they didn't notice at all that the team in front had already lost a large piece silently.

So, when they were chasing with enthusiasm, and when they were about to catch up with the enemy's tail, a rapid rain of arrows suddenly fell on the heads on both sides, and the "Huns" who were fleeing in front of them also turned around. What hit the head and face was a rush of arrows.

The sudden blow awakened the dreams of the leaders of the Guishuang tribe.

No matter how stupid they are, they still understand that they have fallen into the ambush of others.

"Withdraw, quickly withdraw—"

However, what they encountered were Han Xin and Meng Zhan, two rising stars in the Great Qin Army, so there was no chance for them to regret it.

The canyon here is already rugged and difficult to navigate, but the section Han Xin chose just strangled the throat of the canyon, and after that, there was a section of steep cliffs.

In the dark night, he fled in a hurry.

The people of Guishuang panicked, trampled and crowded each other, were trampled to death and injured, and countless people shot down the cliff. However, when they finally escaped from Han Xin's pursuit in embarrassment, they found a team of well-equipped Qin troops who had already blocked their way.

There was another shower of arrows.

This Guishuang tribe was sent by Yu Dun, the wise king of Zuo, to guard the valley of Heli Mountain. Almost all of them were killed or injured. Even the leader of Guishuang tribe who came with him, only two of them died. hurt.

Miserably, he fell to his knees on the ground.

"General, please forgive me, the villain is willing to surrender..."

……

Of course, Zuo Xianwang Yu Dun naturally would not have thought that Han Xin and others really knew about this rather hidden canyon. He asked people from the Guishuang tribe to guard here just in case.

Of course, he never thought that these people from the Guishuang tribe would be so stupid that they would be taken directly to their nests.

At this time, he patrolled all over the city overnight, preparing to rely on Heihe to build Tiancheng into an insurmountable natural danger.He believed that as long as he could persist for ten and a half months, no, it didn't even take ten and a half months, maybe only four or five days, the Huns should wake up.

As long as Touman, that old fox, is not confused, he will definitely know what to do.The Hexi Corridor is in the hands of the Yuezhi people and followed by the Daqin people. He should know the pros and cons of it!

In the night, Zuo Xianwang Yu Dun looked at the faintly shimmering water of the Black River, and an unprecedented fighting spirit rose in his eyes.

In the king's tent, there are all flies and dogs, and short-sighted wine bags and rice bags.

But as long as Yu Dun, the wise king of the left, is here, the enemy will never even think about crossing Heihe half a step!
Not long ago, he had received news of the preparations from Ruoshui and Heli Mountain, and they all fell. The few small tribes responsible for guarding Heli Mountain and Ruoshui were almost wiped out, and the enemy had already moved towards Heishui overnight The river is coming.

After confirming the news, he felt inexplicably relieved.

Sure enough, as I expected.

So, next, it's your own time.

He wanted to meet for a while, the enemy who dared to set up doubts in the fierce battle with the Xiongnu, abandon the huge victory that he had already obtained, withdraw, go around thousands of miles, cross the desert, and take advantage of the situation to break into the heart of the Yuezhi people.

Although he is an enemy, he still admires his courage and strength.

The scouting cavalry spread out as if they didn't want money. On the one hand, they notified some idle tribes on the other side of the Heihe River to evacuate quickly, and on the other hand, they learned about the enemy's movements.

But Zhao Ying's team came too fast.

Along the way, everything is conquered.

Those idle small tribes scattered under the iron cavalry of the Qin army, with almost no resistance at all.Soon, Zhao Ying and Wang Li led everyone to the bank of the Heishui River.

It is across the river from Yu Dun, the virtuous king of Zuo.

Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Wang Li's face was a little serious.

"General, the general on the opposite side is not simple, the defense is well arranged, we seem to be in trouble—"

Zhao Ying nodded.

Since it is impossible to kill by surprise, then we can only think of other methods.

"Pass my order, rest on the spot, kill cattle and sheep, and have a good meal—"

When entering the Hexi Corridor, although they threw away their luggage, several small tribes along the way still provided them with sufficient supplies.

Not to mention anything else, but the easy-to-carry provisions such as cows, horses, tents, are enough for the army to use.

Zhao Ying gave an order, and the army immediately performed their duties, took their positions, and began to operate in an orderly manner.Soon the tents were set up, the torches were lit, and the racks for roasting cattle and sheep were also set up.

Swaggeringly lived his nightlife.

The aroma of roasted beef and sheep wafted up quickly, across the Heihe River, to the noses of Yueshi warriors who were suffering from hunger in the cold wind, and were tossed by Zuo Xianwang Yu Dun for most of the night...

Across the Heihe River, they could even see the golden, oily delicacy on the other side's bonfire.

goo-dong-

Many people couldn't help swallowing secretly.

I feel more and more uncomfortable this long night.

"My lord, do you want us to let our brothers take turns to eat..."

A leader of the Guishuang tribe who stayed behind in Tiancheng swallowed his saliva uncontrollably and asked tentatively.I don't know what kind of spices the enemy army on the opposite side sprinkled. The scent is like seventeen or eight small hooks, scratching and scratching in your heart.

I feel more and more hungry.

"idiot--"

King Zuo Xian scolded with a dark face, but he glanced at the generals in the big tent, many of them showed expressions of emotion on their faces, so they calmed down.

"The enemy is clearly a strategy to lure the enemy, and wants us to relax our vigilance - at such a critical moment, everyone must cheer up and not give up at all..."

Having said that, I add a sentence.

"Tell the brothers below, bear with it and work hard. When the king's reinforcements arrive at dawn, everyone's rewards will never be less..."

As a result, a more interesting scene occurred on both sides of the Heihe River.

The invading enemy grilled the bonfire, ate barbecue, laughed and laughed, and then went back to sleep happily. Watching him go to sleep, he didn't dare to act rashly...

Of course, Zhao Ying was not as relaxed as he seemed.

Not only were there enough guards on duty, but in addition to the soldiers standing on the bright side, where the enemy could not see, everyone was also fully clothed and saddled, ready to respond.

But even so, in such a cold night, it is already a good thing in the world to be able to enjoy a delicious meal and have a tent to rest.

On the other side of the Black River.

"Father, the enemy army must be exhausted after repeated battles. Why don't you let me lead a team to attack overnight and catch the opponent by surprise..."

Zuo Xian Wang Yu Dun looked at his son who was about to move, and shook his head slowly.

"The enemy army can wipe out the four tribes of Tupu, Qiemo, Dangtian, and Tu in a row, and make Touman's old fox go around. Do you think their general is a stupid person?"

Looking at the dissatisfied youngest son, and then at the tribal leaders behind him who looked slightly dissatisfied, Yu Dun took the opportunity to explain patiently.

"Look at the other party's camp, although it was set up hastily, it was in order, with hidden murderous intentions, and you look at their bonfire, why it was set up in the back, but it happened to be in our line of sight. They also want to paralyze us, let us relax our vigilance..."

Speaking of this, Zuo Xian Wang Yu Dun waved his hand vigorously.

"Therefore, the people of Qin are treacherous, we must not fall for the tricks of the enemy..."

At the time when Zuo Xianwang was waiting in full battle to guard against the enemy's sneak attack, Zhao Ying and Wang Li had already been divided into shifts and went to rest in rotation.

stay up?

If it doesn't exist, the most common thing for recruits is emergency assembly!
Today's recruit camp can be in place within 3 minutes, ready for all battles.So, as long as the duty is arranged, what should everyone do.

It's business as usual.

But that's just them, except for Zhang Liang.

Because, Zhao Ying arranged a task for Zhang Liang, which was to clean up the battlefield and fight all the way from the Ruoshui River, and there were four or five small tribes that just broke through.

Naturally, Zhao Ying was unrestrained about the cattle, sheep, tents and other urgently needed supplies. When he entered the Hexi Corridor, he had already broken the boat and left behind the extra luggage.

What's more, when these people went to Daqin to fight grass valleys, they didn't see them being polite to the people of Daqin.

Things are easy to say, how to deal with these people is the most difficult problem.

"Mr. Zhang, may I ask how to deal with these prisoners, do you want to..."

The one who came to ask him for instructions was Bai Sun, the leader of their group.

He had known this person before. He was a hundred general in the recruit camp. He was born in the Bai family in Mei County. He was in his early twenties and had a calm temperament. Therefore, when he set off from Shangjun, Zhao Ying personally promoted him to be the leader of five hundred.

Now he is in charge of commanding the thousand Xiongnu soldiers and five hundred Qin elites left behind to help him clean up the battlefield. He said it was assistance, but Zhang Liang knew that it might not mean surveillance.

Looking at the sternness in Bai Sun's eyes, Zhang Liang smiled wryly in his heart, looking at the captives who had been surrounded and controlled by the army under the firelight, their expressions were cloudy.

kill?
Bai Sun's suggestion is actually the simplest, cruelest and most rational approach.

To show mercy to the enemy is to be cruel and irresponsible to one's own people, leaving behind a group of captives who even the old and weak, women and children can climb on horseback, draw bows and shoot arrows, and fight to the death.

That is not kindness, but stupidity.

However, when he thought of the meaningful eyes of the eldest grandson of the emperor, and the arrangements in the four tribes of Tupu, Qiemo, Dangtian and Tuge, he subconsciously gave up this idea.

Obviously, if a prisoner needs to be killed, with that person's temperament, I'm afraid he won't keep himself. A white bamboo shoot is enough to deal with it cleanly.

Let yourself stay, you should want a different answer.

But the problem is, this time is not the same as before.

The Hexi Corridor has not yet been opened. Is it possible that I will take these captives across the vast desert again?Don't say whether you want to, just ask me if I can——

Even if these people don't rebel on the road, how about eating and drinking...

Send me your head?

"gentlemen……"

Seeing that Zhang Liang was silent, Bai Sun couldn't help but speak again.

Zhang Liang didn't answer, he urged his horses, walked up to the group of captives who had already been controlled, and pressed his long sword with his hand, his voice was indifferent.

"Now, give me a reason to keep you alive..."

As he spoke, he waved his big hand, and raised countless bows and crossbows behind him. Under the firelight, the cold arrows shone with a cold light.

"My family is willing to follow the example of these Xiongnu warriors, follow the general, and serve as the general's eagle dog..."

At the stall where the crowd was in a panic, an old man with gray beard and hair and a thin figure struggled to stand up from the crowd, squeezed through the crowd, threw himself on the ground, and knelt down in front of Zhang Liang's horse.

Zhang Liang was noncommittal, looking down at the old man kneeling on the ground.

"How can I trust you..."

Hearing this, the old man bowed twice again in a proper manner.

"Women and children in my family are willing to entrust all of them to the general..."

Zhang Liang nodded.

"good……"

Who would want to die if the clan could not be exterminated?
These tribes on the prairie, especially small tribes, depend on one today and another tomorrow. They have always advocated the supremacy of strength, and there is no loyalty at all.

Seeing that the Qiang people got rid of the fate of mortal death, they didn't need to teach them at this time, and they rushed forward one by one, swearing and swearing.

"Longevity is God, our family is also willing to follow the general—"

"..."

Soon, the old and weak women and children of several tribes, especially children, were all gathered in several tents.There was a big fire all around, and the elites of the Great Qin Dynasty were all waiting in battle. It only takes one action, and this place will become a purgatory on earth.

These small tribes who surrendered knew what this meant, but they all kept silent in a tacit understanding.

"Distribute food and beverages, but you are not allowed to go out without authorization. Anyone who violates the order will be killed without mercy!"

Seeing that Zhang Liang was willing to distribute food and beverages to the hostages, these small tribes that surrendered felt a little relieved, and felt a sense of luck for the rest of their lives.

Only then did Zhang Liang turn around, staring brightly at the young general in front of him named Five Hundred Lords, who actually had more than two or five hundred soldiers in his hands, said in a deep voice.

"General Bai, may you trust me..."

"Please tell me, sir—"

Bai Sun's eyes were firm and her voice was steady. Perhaps because of the constant battles and killings, she still carried a murderous aura about her.

"Walk your army west and take Jiayu Mountain!"

When Bai Sun heard this, he immediately lifted his spirits and bowed.

"The last general is willing to follow Mr. and be his pawn!"

The Jiayu Mountain mentioned by Zhang Liang is the location of the famous Jiayuguan in later generations.It is the Hexi Corridor, the real throat leading to the Western Regions.The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack.It is precisely because of this that Jiayuguan, which was built by later generations, was called the No. [-] pass in the world by later generations, and it has become an important place for western frontier defense in the past dynasties.

Zhang Liang said today that he would send his troops to the west and take Jiayu Mountain directly. He clearly wanted to seize this dangerous land and open up the passage to the Western Regions for His Highness.

Once realized, this is a ground-breaking credit!

As for the fact that he only had one thousand Hun cavalry and five hundred elite Qin troops, he didn't think about it at all.Because he believed in Zhang Liang's wisdom.

These days, Zhang Liang has fully proved his identity and talent as one of the two counselors beside His Highness by virtue of his own performance.

"General, I have a long history with Morton, the guard of Jiayu Mountain, and I am willing to take it for the general!"

Seeing that Zhang Liang was going to attack Jiayu Mountain, the old man of the Qiang nationality, whose lifeblood was in his hands, volunteered.

Zhang Liang was overjoyed.

"If this trip is successful, I will allow your family to settle here and graze, and enjoy the same treatment as the head of Qin and Guizhou—"

At dawn, the sky was still dark.

Zhang Liang and Bai Sun had already led [-] Xiongnu cavalry, [-] Qin elites, and young men from several small tribes who had just surrendered, and marched westward to Jiayu Mountain.

Since you can't get rid of the drive of that demon Zhao Ying, then make a great contribution!

……

When Zhang Liang and Bai Sun went straight to Jiayu Mountain Pass, Han Xin and Meng Zhan had already cleaned up the battlefield, took the surrendered Guishuang leader and hundreds of Guishuang warriors, and successfully bypassed Heishui and Tiancheng. And under their leadership, they rushed straight to the foot of Yanzhi Mountain.

Yanzhi Mountain is a branch of the Qilian Mountains, located in the peak belt of the Hexi Corridor, about 34 kilometers long from east to west and about [-] kilometers wide from north to south.

The terrain is dangerous, with different peaks protruding, known as "Sweet and Cool Throat", and it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.The southern foot of Yanzhi Mountain is rich in water and grass, and it is a natural horse farm.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing, the Hussar general, led ten thousand riders out of Longxi, crossed Yanzhi Mountain to fight the Xiongnu, beheaded more than [-] ranks, and completely included the Hexi Corridor into the territory of the Han Dynasty!

The purpose of Han Xin and Meng Zhan's trip is to seize this natural horse farm first, and replenish their lost mounts on Heli Mountain.

Then, by surprise, control this natural fortress.

To attract the attention of the enemy, to be a simple cannon fodder?
nonexistent!

How can a real man stand in the middle of the world, and live under the people for a long time!

If you want to do it right away, you will make an extraordinary achievement, and your name will shake the world!
At this time, beside Han Xin and Meng Zhan was the nobleman who surrendered from the Guishuang tribe, behind him were hundreds of warriors who surrendered from the Guishuang tribe, and behind them were the elites of the Qin Dynasty wearing the clothes of the Guishuang tribe!

PS: It won't be cut, don't worry, it's almost fine.
