Chapter 181 Good News Entering Xianyang

"Brother—cough, Your Highness, the woman leading the dance in the middle is the little girl Yue Ji, I don't know if she looks so good in your eyes..."

Ah, this-

Stealing someone else's daughter, and being caught by his father, even Zhao Ying couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and looked away pretendingly indifferently.

"Cough, that's right, Qianjin's country is beautiful and heavenly, and she is absolutely beautiful in the world..."

With Zhao Ying's positive affirmation, King Yueshi's face became even more joyful.

"My little girl has always admired heroes. Since seeing His Highness's heroic appearance today, she has never forgotten it, and she wants to serve His Highness with all her heart—"

Speaking of this, King Yueshi carefully observed Zhao Ying's face.

"I don't know if my little girl has that blessing..."

Zhao Ying: ...

I don't know when it started, the people in the big tent who were drinking and drinking, stopped their hands and quietly pricked up their ears, especially those Yue clan nobles who had just surrendered, their eyes drifted this way uncontrollably .

Are you a little nervous?

It was only then that Zhao Ying realized that the old man had painstakingly arranged such a song and dance, so he was waiting here.

In this era, not to mention these tribes on the grassland, even in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it is already normal to rely on marriage to strengthen their relationship with each other.

Now, the new descendant of the Yue family, compared to his empty promises, a real marriage may reassure them more, right?

Alas, I am so difficult!
But if I don't go to hell, who goes to hell?

For the sake of the country, for the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of quelling the fighting, and for the well-being of Daqin and the people of Yueshi, I, Zhao Ying, had no choice but to sacrifice my appearance and obey them——

Thinking of this, Zhao Ying stood up and took King Yueshi's wine glass with a smile.

"It's my general's good fortune to be valued by your daughter, who is beautiful in the world—"

As he spoke, he raised his wine glass high and looked around.

"Everyone, from now on, Yueshi and I, Daqin, are the family of in-laws—come, everyone, drink this cup..."

As soon as Zhao Ying finished speaking, there was a burst of applause from the big tent, and everyone raised their glasses to drink.Zhao Ying could clearly feel that it was a little more sincere and less anxious than the excitement just now.

The looks on the faces of those Yuezhi nobles were obviously much more relaxed.

On the contrary, the soldiers of Daqin looked at His Royal Highness with more admiration and pity in their eyes?

Zhao Ying was a little baffled.

I reluctantly made a small sacrifice, but your eyes are too exaggerated!

On Yueshi's side, it was the complete opposite, they were really happy.With Zhao Ying's approval, Yueshi Wang was overjoyed, and immediately beckoned his daughter to come over and pour wine for Zhao Ying himself.

"People around me are like the moon, and their wrists are like frost and snow..."

I don't know if it was because of the sachet she was wearing, but Yue Ji's body carried a very comfortable fragrance. At this time, she was kneeling beside Zhao Ying, holding the wine pot lightly, her ten fingers were slender, and her wrist was as bright as Snow made Zhao Ying inexplicably think of this well-known quatrain in later generations.

Although the person in front of me is not a gentle Jiangnan woman, she has a plump figure and fair and delicate skin. Compared with the Central Plains woman, her facial features are more profound and delicate, especially a pair of big amber eyes, which are lively and lively, with a From the wildness in the bones.

The corners of Zhao Ying's mouth curled up slightly, took the wine glass, and drank it down.

The son-in-law of the Yuezhi Wang brothers, I will be the elder brother!
Guests are happy.

"Yue Ji, go to rest before serving His Royal Highness the eldest grandson..."

With the strength of the wine, King Yueshi blushed and looked at his daughter aside with feigned displeasure.

Seeing this, Zhao Ying waved his hands with a smile and said seriously.

"Thank you, King Yueshi, for your kindness, but Qianyuan is Princess Yueshi, with a noble status, she should have her dignity and dignity, how can you be so contemptuous—now, Yueshi and my Daqin have merged into one, and they have been a family ever since. If the King of the Yue Clan is sincere enough to accomplish this beautiful deed, why not announce it to the whole clan and marry him according to the etiquette..."

King Yueshi couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard the words, and immediately bowed his head and gave a deep salute.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for fulfilling this matter. This matter is due to Xiao Wang's lack of thoughtfulness—"

Yue Ji, who lowered her head and was about to step forward to help Zhao Ying, suddenly raised her head, and there was a different kind of brilliance in her amber eyes.

Not to mention the princess of a country, even if it is the daughter of an ordinary family, who wants to follow others so vaguely?
In the evening, instead of staying overnight in the tent of the Yuezhi people, Zhao Ying returned to Yanzhi Mountain accompanied by everyone.Although the Yuezhi people have surrendered, they cannot completely relax their vigilance.

"My lord, this is the list of military merits compiled by me and several military merit officers. Please have a look, my lord..."

The military merit system is the foundation of the Great Qin Dynasty. It has its own very strict and detailed military merit statistics methods, as well as corresponding supervision methods. Every military merit has its own signature and signature of the chief of the regiment. , two or five hundred masters and the signatures of Han Xin, Zhang Han, Meng Zhan, Wang Li and others.

Unless they don't want to live anymore, no one dares to do something about it.

Even so, Zhao Ying took it over, sat under the bright ointment candle, carefully flipped through the military merit booklet, checked it repeatedly, then picked up the brush, and signed his name seriously on the back, solemnly Use the seal of your own champion general.

This heavy booklet is a merit, an honor, and it is also the result of countless soldiers carrying their heads, one knife and one gun, in exchange for their lives.

Zhao Ying can't do anything else, the only thing he can do is to do his best to ensure its fairness!

You can't let the brothers who followed you through life and death bleed and shed tears.

This booklet of military achievements will be sent to Xianyang in an expedited way of [-] miles after the incident at Wushao Ridge is settled in the morning of tomorrow.

After handing the military merit booklet to Chen Ping, Zhao Ying thought for a while, took the pen and paper again, and carefully wrote a serious letter to the first emperor, focusing on the issue of marrying the Yue clan and his love for the emperor. Yuezhi's treatment idea.

The Yue clan is a large tribe with a population of hundreds of thousands, and the Guang clan has more than [-] available soldiers.

With such a large population base, it would definitely not be appropriate to leave all of it in an important military location like Hexi. Therefore, in this case, how to stabilize people's hearts and how to resettle the population is very important.

All these questions need to be communicated with Emperor Shihuang in advance.

Before dawn the next day, Wushao Ridge sent back the news.

The leaders of the six tribes, including Wuerqi, Jiuzi, Pangdun, and Shuangmi, who were in charge of guarding Wushaoling and resisting the attack of the Qin army, decided to surrender to the emperor's grandson Zhao Ying. General Xin Sheng also stopped the attack very cooperatively.

The army retreated ten miles away and stationed there.

After categorically rejecting the suggestion of his subordinates to report victory to Xianyang immediately, he made a careful count of the military achievements and casualties in the storming of Wushaoling during this period, and ordered his deputy general She Jian to rush to Yanzhi Mountain in person and hand them over to Zhao Ying.

Then, he wrote a memorial separately, and returned to the first emperor through the normal channel process.

Yanzhi Mountain.

"You are Shejian?"

Zhao Ying took a surprised look at this middle-aged general with a tall figure, a handsome face, and a bookish look.He is no stranger to the name Shejian.

I still remember the succinct but shocking record of Xiang Yu in "Historical Records of Xiang Yu":

"Xiang Yu led all his troops across the river, sank all the boats, broke the cauldrons, burned the huts, and held rations for three days to show that the soldiers would die, and none of them would return. So he besieged Wang Li, met the Qin army, fought nine times, and killed them all. Break through the corridors, kill Su Jiao, and capture Wang Li. If Shejian does not descend to Chu, he will burn himself to death."

Although there are only eight characters in the record about Shejian, it contains the integrity that a general should have.

He was one of the few warriors in that era who was truly willing to die for Great Qin.

Compared with him, those who have enjoyed the salary of the Qin State for generations, but coyly put on airs, half-pushed and half-successful, turned around and became Hanchen's upright and upright people, should be ashamed.

Of course, as for those Donglin party members who pride themselves on being loyal ministers but think the water is too cold, they are not even scumbags.

It was also because of this that he still had a fresh memory of this passage, and he also admired Shejian quite a lot.I have traveled so far, what I need is such a talent.

"Returning to Your Highness, you are really the last general——"

Shejian bowed his hands in return politely, but he didn't think much about it, after all, Xin Sheng's letter must have introduced his name.

Zhao Ying returned a salute with a smile.

"General She, it's been a tough journey, please take a seat—"

Afterwards, Zhao Ying asked someone to bring tea, and he carefully read the military merit booklet sent by Xin Sheng, with a smile in his eyes.

He naturally understood that Xin Sheng asked someone to send over the military merit booklet, and did not repay the merit by himself, obviously he regarded himself as a subordinate and did not want to compete with himself for merit.This man is a smart man.

Although he knew that this was showing his favor, but this favor was real, he had to admit it.

Although he admired Shejian very much and intended to stay under him to do things, Zhao Ying didn't say much. After letting someone take Shejian down to rest, Zhao Ying turned around and handed the military merit booklet to Chen Ping who was standing aside.

"Just follow the above and report to His Majesty—"

Chen Ping accepted the order and went out excitedly to make arrangements.

In just over a month, the eldest grandson of the emperor, with the force of a strong wind sweeping away fallen leaves, wiped out Jupu, Qiemo, Dangtian, and Tupu, took over the Hexi Corridor, and expanded the soil for thousands of miles. Compared with the general, it is not much better.

The general trend of the emperor's eldest grandson has been achieved since then!
No one can shake it anymore.

Although the war is over, Zhao Ying can't go back until Emperor Shi Huang's order arrives. There are also many things on Yueshi's side that need to be handled by himself, the eldest grandson of the emperor.

In the days that followed, Zhao Ying personally met the leaders of various tribes in the Hexi Corridor like a revolving lantern, and followed the practice of the Great Qin Dynasty to register all the population to appease people's hearts.

So, after a round, he was stuffed with seven or eight more exotic maids.

There is no way, what you give up will bring you something, this is the sacrifice he has to make.

At this time, he was surprised to find that in the entire Hexi Corridor, there were more than twenty tribes, large and small, except for the five major tribes belonging to the Yueshi, namely Xiumi, Shuangmi, Guishuang, Pangdun, and Dumi. In addition, there are more than a dozen large and small tribes such as Xizhi, Khotan, Wujie, Yanqi, Jiuzi, Wuji, Woju, Wuerqi, Hezhe, Jucishan, and Jiuzi.

The larger ones have thousands of people, and the smaller ones have only a few hundred people.

The ingredients are jaw-droppingly complex.

But because of this, he was relieved, he was really afraid that these hundreds of thousands of people were all from the Yuezhi people.

In short, although there is no need to fight, he has worked day and night, and he is more tired than fighting every day, and he has truly experienced what it means to manage every day.But the results are also gratifying, and many tribes have gradually accepted this new superior.

Apart from him, the busiest people are the Mohists. These days, according to his instructions, these Mohists went to various places in Hexi to inspect the terrain and draw maps. It is feasible to build defensive pass tunnels at these well-known dangerous passes such as Yanzhi Mountain.

As for Chen Ping, he was so busy that his feet never touched the ground. Zhao Ying almost handed over the entire internal affairs of Hexi to him.

Today, he has become a hot celebrity in the Hexi Corridor.

Even many tribes, unable to curry favor with Zhao Ying, have begun to set their sights on Zhao Ying's right-hand man.

And Wang Li, Han Xin, Zhang Han, Meng Zhan and others were also kicked out by Zhao Ying, and followed Chen Ping to get familiar with Hexi affairs.As for Zhang Liang, after stabilizing the situation in Jiayuguan, he was recruited by Zhao Ying to help him handle Hexi affairs.

Together with Chen Ping, carefully plan the governance plan of Hexi.

At this time, Zhao Ying discovered why this dog was rated as the Three Heroes of the early Han Dynasty. The ability to handle internal affairs is really extraordinary, meticulous and safe. I have counted the ministers of the court, and I am afraid that only Li Si, Meng Yi, etc. Only a few people can match it.

This made Zhao Ying a lot easier.

Just when Zhao Ying and others were busy in Hexi, the good news from the Hexi Corridor also reached Xianyang at a speed of [-] miles.

"Report—Hexi Great Victory—Emperor's eldest grandson, Zhao Ying, traveled thousands of miles, settled Hexi with three arrows, completely opened up the Hexi Corridor, and the entire family of the Yue family descended to Qin!"

The emperor's eldest grandson, Zhao Ying, made a surprise attack thousands of miles away, and the aftermath of the legendary story of destroying the four kingdoms in one day was still unfinished. Another piece of news that could blow up the entire Xianyang in an instant spread wildly at an incredible speed.

In the middle of the official road, the rapid sound of horseshoes knocking on the stone slabs.

Captain Baojie's hoarse voice was so shocking that many people couldn't believe their ears.

what's the situation?
Isn't the eldest grandson of the emperor fighting the Xiongnu? Why did he suddenly open up the Hexi Corridor!

It's only been a few days?

how can that be!

You must know that the Yue clan occupying the Hexi Corridor has hundreds of thousands of tribes, with more than [-] troops alone. Just a few years ago, the general Meng Tian led an army of hundreds of thousands, but they failed to conquer it.

The eldest grandson of the emperor, he won it in just a few days!

Many people have already begun to count their fingers, calculating how many days have passed since the last time the eldest grandson of the emperor broke the four kingdoms in one day.
