Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 631: Become the Champion! (Please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)
"North of Yinshan Mountain, the weather is sunny and rarely rains in summer. But as the temperature rises, the melting water from the mountain ice and snow will merge into rivers and irrigate the grassland. However, the climate is not hot. Most of the Huns will take off their fur coats. Wearing short breeches and just hanging around outside. As far as I know, what the Huns love most is summer.”

"The so-called know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles. It is precisely because I know that they will be the most comfortable and careless in summer, so I chose to launch the first raid in summer."

"Also because the Huns live in pursuit of water and grass, I walked straight northwest along a waterway and caught the Huns off guard. The Huns always come to rob us of food, so this time, I ordered Soldiers should not bring food and grass. Wherever the troops attack, they will provide food and drink on the spot. Those who know understand that it is us Qin people who attack them this time, and those who don’t know think it is the Qiang people further west."

"I led [-] elite troops into the Huns, just like a swarm of locusts, eating up all their cattle and sheep on the spot. In spring and winter, the Huns had nothing to eat except cattle and sheep. In spring, cattle and sheep They just give birth to calves. Only if the pastures are lush in summer can these cows and lambs grow up and be fattened. They are reluctant to eat in summer and have to save the food until winter. In summer, they eat sheep. Milk, shear sheep, prepare for winter.”

"Ten thousand of my elite troops entered the land of the Huns and drove thousands of miles. There were cattle and sheep lying on the ground everywhere. We bypassed their camps and went straight to their base in the rear. In this way, we relied on temporarily requisitioning the Huns' cattle and sheep along the way. Food, we spent eight or nine days. At this time, we had a premonition that large forces were coming to surround and annihilate us."

"In order to solve the problem, all 1 of us dismounted, opened the Huns' fence, and released the cattle, sheep, and horses kept by the Huns. There were tens of thousands of horses, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep in front and behind. We drove them all the way. Pass through the Great Wall from the west of Yinshan Mountain and go around Jiuyuan."

"Without the previous attack, the Huns would still have a large reserve of cattle and sheep to survive the winter. But this time, we took the risk and ran to the backs of the Huns and drove out all their cattle and sheep. We could not bring them back. bring back."

"Without the food they depend on for survival, they naturally can't sit still. If they don't go south to plunder, they will never survive the winter, so they will definitely fight to the death with us this autumn."

"Although the last general didn't have enough backup, he went deep alone and caught the Xiongnu by surprise, causing the Huns to hold a grudge against us Qin people and eager to take revenge; then I released false news, caught the traitor, and wiped out our Qin army The traitor among them."

"At the time of the autumn harvest, I lured the enemy deep several times, allowing them to plunder all the way to Jiuyuan City. When they completely lowered their guard and let the large troops enter the Yinshan Pass, I ordered the ambush in the mountains. The soldiers on Yin Mountain were led by General Zhao Ben and rushed down to block the Huns' retreat from the north of Yin Mountain. General Wang Li and I then began to pursue the Huns from Jiuyuan City."

"In this pursuit, a total of 12 Huns were annihilated and [-] Huns were captured."

Li Xin's eyes sparkled when he talked about these things on the battlefield.

After hearing this, the second generation applauded in public.

"Good, great good! With a general like you in the Qin State, peace can be guaranteed in the next ten years. I have decided to make you the Marquis of Che, and change it to the Marquis of Champion, which means that you are unrivaled in this world."

Everyone present listened and looked at him sideways.

Li Xin was naturally very excited. As a general, besides victory, the most important thing is honor.

Even though he had never longed for such a high honor to be placed on his head, now, the Second Emperor has given him such an honor.

Champion Marquis, as the name suggests, is the highest honor among military commanders.

Li Xin's eyes were filled with excitement for a moment.At that time, the late emperor did not give him such an honor. The second emperor's award to him was undoubtedly a recognition of his outstanding military command ability.

This kind of recognition is the most valuable in Li Xin's eyes.

Li Xin almost regarded the Second Emperor as his confidant because of the title given to him by the Second Emperor.It's a pity that the person sitting in front of him is the emperor.

"Your Majesty is very grateful to the general for this grace. After the general returns, he will tell his descendants that all the descendants of the Li family must serve the Great Qin bloodline."

Li Xin's expression of gratitude at this table naturally amused everyone.

Rough words are not rough, the ideal relationship between the emperor and his courtiers is like this.

The ministers have fulfilled their duties faithfully from generation to generation, and the emperor has placed trust in his ministers from generation to generation.The Meng family and the kings of the Qin Dynasty had such a model relationship.

"Well said. I heard that you have two sons, one is a well-educated man and the other is brave and good at fighting. I hope you can bring these two men to see me."

"Your Majesty, the younger son is with you. The eldest son is still guarding the prisoners in Jiuyuan City. If Your Majesty wants to see the younger son, the general can bring him here tomorrow."

"Alright."

The second son heard the news that Li Xin wanted to pass the title to his second son.

This Li Xin, there is nothing he dare not do.

"Your Majesty, I still don't know how these 10,000+ Huns prisoners will be punished."

"After receiving your report, I have discussed with Zhang Cang. I will send all these 10,000+ Huns to the Jingchu River area to open up wasteland and plant rice and millet."

"Your Majesty's Holy Judgment. It would be too expensive to keep them in the army."

Listening to Zhang Cang, he always felt that something was wrong.At first, 10,000 Xianyang people were driven to the Dajiang area, and later, [-]+ Huns were driven away. I am afraid there will be many problems here.

Don't forget, under the Guanzhong standard system, these people are outside the Guanzhong and are arranged to be in the Jingchu area for a long time, which may cause hidden dangers.

Zhang Cang saw that everyone was very happy and knew that he couldn't spoil the fun at this time, so he put his thoughts aside for the time being.

Seeing Li Xinle's blossoming, the second generation couldn't help but remind him solemnly:
"Li Xin, don't be too happy. I'm conferring the title of Champion on you today because, looking at the world, General Li Xin has no opponent. But if one day you are defeated, or there is a rising star, I will He took away the title of Champion."

After everyone heard this, they all stroked their beards and laughed, especially Zhang Han.

After hearing this, Li Xin didn't take II's warning seriously. He thought his majesty was joking.

"Since Your Majesty has said this today, it can be seen that he will still appoint the general. At that time, the general will definitely use his strength to tell your majesty that the glory of this champion can only be fulfilled by the general in the world."

"In that case, I will be at Lanchi Palace tomorrow, in front of many soldiers from all over Xianyang City, to personally designate you as the Champion Marquis. I will grant you a thousand hectares of land, right next to my Shanglin Garden."

Li Xin's eyes flashed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I heard you talk about military strategy today, and it was an eye-opener. I have other things to do, so please step back first."

"only!"

Everyone stood up one after another and was about to leave.

The Second Emperor suddenly looked at Zhang Han and said:
"Captain, I heard that you prepared a welcoming banquet for the champion."

Zhang Han was speechless for a moment.

He didn't prepare this.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case."

"You are the captain of the army guard, in charge of military affairs and commanding the generals. It is indeed time to entertain the champion."

Zhang Han understood what he meant and bowed again:
"I'm afraid the champion won't come."

Both the Meng brothers and Zhang Cang bowed silently, and no one else could see their expressions.

Li Xin was no longer the stupid young man he was before, and replied with a smile:

"The guard captain hasn't posted yet, so how do you know I won't come?"

Zhang Han immediately said: "Looking at the wishes of the champion, I don't even need to send a greeting message this time."

"Your Majesty has sent you this greeting card, so why should I not go?"

The implication is that he, Li Xin, is just saving face for the Second Emperor.

The second smiled and said:

"Then tonight, everyone in the Duwei Mansion will have a good gathering with the Champion and others."

"only!"
