Qiang Qin

Qin Xinli eight years, the second day of February.

The dragon looked up.

In the winter of this year, Hexi County was completely shrouded in strong winds and snowstorms. On the road, only the rut marks left by passing vehicles remained.

Outside Gaizang City, [-] generals of the Hexi Qin Army, wearing black armor and white armbands, braved the wind and snow and stood on the hatchback of Chidao. However, today they were not welcoming the newly arrived Wu Wang Li Yuan, But to welcome another returning old friend.

Bai Guangji's headless body was smuggled back by the Baiyang tribe in the dark, and today he was brought back to his home country - Qin.

And his head was beheaded by the Dayuezhi people, and then donated to the Xiongnu Shanyu Maodun. Knowing that this Hexi Qiang leader named Bai Qin was originally from the relatives of Li Yuan, King Wu of the Qin State, he was psychologically surprised. Some perverted Mao Dun was overjoyed and ordered Xumi Buda to take Bai Guangji's head from the Yuezhi people.

Men have tears, don't flick.

It's just that the fate has not arrived, and the sad place.

Li Yuan's car stopped at the front of the line.

Speeding all the way from Jincheng to Gaizang City, his car drove continuously for four days and nights in the wind and snow, and finally arrived when the Hexi Army lined up to greet Bai Guangji back.

In front of the team, Li Zhongxiang, the leader of the Hexi Army, and Luo Jia, the general of the Cavalry Army, each looked solemn and sad, and their tiger eyes were red with tears.

Eight years of fighting, eight years of friendship.

But today, it has become a different way for humans and ghosts. Although there are no eyes on the battlefield, and casualties are common, but the death of a general of Bai Guangji's level has never happened in the Qin army.Even the powerful Western Chu Army led by Xiang Yu only caused some time troubles for the Qin Army.

Li Yuan silently took the box containing Bai Guangji's corpse. Since traveling, this is the second time he has truly felt the cruelty of war in this era. The first time was in Baima, where he heard the last battle songs of Gan Houbo and Zhou Xing , and this time.What he saw was the last remains of Bai Guangji.

"Warriors of the Great Qin Dynasty, have you seen it?" Li Yuan stepped onto the shaft of the chariot and shouted at the silent generals: "Although General Bai died in battle, his soul is still there, and his eyes will always be there. Watching us, he will be in the royal court of the Huns in Mobei, watching us charge into the dome tent of Maodun with our swords and guns high, and kill those nobles of the Huns one by one!"

"Kill, kill. Kill—!" Thousands of Great Qin generals yelled like thunder, and the sound was broken, almost forcing the roaring Blizzard to change direction.

"Old Qin, come back to me, don't bleed dry, don't stop fighting!" Li Yuan took the lead and started humming this familiar war song, looking at the tough guy.

eight years.

Li Yuan established the belief for the soldiers of the Qin army that "those who offend me and strengthen Qin will be punished even if they are far away".This is a kind of spirit that would rather fight bloody to the last moment, shed the last drop of blood, and never surrender to the enemy. This is also the new Qin State and the historical one that exchanged peace in exchange for peace.The most different thing about the Han Dynasty that endured humiliation.

Three days later.

The State of Qin held a solemn and solemn funeral in Gaizang City. Bai Guangji and his [-] Hexi Qiang dead soldiers were buried in the cemetery of the Qin Army soldiers in the west of Gaizang City in the way of clothes and hats.

Came to see off.In addition to Li Yuan, Luo Jia, Li Zhongxiang and other Hexi Qin generals, Cao Xin, the Qin general who was stationed in Didao, also came in a hurry. This person had met Bai Guangji in Xingyang City.The honest and upright man who has fought side by side many times has a thin appearance and big sunken eyes. He obviously hasn't slept well for several days.

"King Wu, in the battle against the Hungarians, Xinqiu will be the vanguard. If you don't take the head of Maodun, you will never stop fighting. If King Wu agrees, Xin will rise up. If you don't, Xin will kneel here forever, never Come on." In front of Bai Guangji's tomb, Cao Xin suddenly knelt down, and the seven-foot man burst into tears.

"King Wu, please order me to be the main force of the Northern Expedition, vow to destroy the Xiongnu, and avenge General Bai."

"King Wu—!"

With Cao Xin taking the lead, all Qin generals couldn't suppress their grief for many days, and they stepped forward to ask for orders to fight.

"All of you, get up! Ever since the border troops stationed in Jiuyuan, we, the Great Qin and the Huns, have accumulated enmity in our chests for several years. Every soldier of our Great Qin would not want to eat their flesh and bones. Today, you ask for orders to fight, and I In front of the soldiers who have been buried in the ground, Li Yuan swears here that the direction of Daqin's troops will one day conquer the Xiongnu, Yuezhi, and all opponents in this world who are against me, because Daqin has you A group of brave and fearless soldiers, you guys who regard honor as their life, and you guys who never give up——!"

Li Yuan supported Cao Xin, Li Zhongxiang, Luo Jia and other generals one by one, and his voice was sonorous and powerful. Today, he actually ruled the vast land of the Great Qin. In terms of comprehensive national strength, he is not much weaker than the Xiongnu. Yes, the Qin army has a strong army and a large number of generals, not to mention the embarrassment of Liu Bang in the early Han Dynasty that "the birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden" and no one can use it.

In Yanbei, there are masters in the art of war. The ever-victorious general Han Xin led more than [-] Yandi Qin troops to garrison. The existence of this Qin army not only effectively prevented the Huns Zuo Xianwang from raiding the eastern border of Qin, but more importantly, , Han Xin can also unite with the remnants of Donghu and other tribes to attack the Huns' flanks.

In Jiuyuan, Wang Li's frontier army corps has been standing on the front line of Yinshan and Gaoque for a long time. Their living habits and horse riding skills are no different from those of the Huns. The closest distance is also the power that Qin State directly threatens the royal court of Mobei.

In Hexi and Longxi, Li Zhongxiang, Luo Jia, Cao Xin and other young generals of the Qin army are full of vigor and blood. They are the strength that Li Yuan relies on most, and they will also be the main force of the Qin army to fight against the Xiongnu and the Western Regions. .

——.

The wheels of the national war are rolling.

In addition to military offensives, suppressing the Xiongnu economically, politically, and diplomatically is a method Qin can currently adopt.

When the generals of the Qin army in Gaizang City were excited, the central court of Qin State in Chang'an also began to issue a series of decrees against the Xiongnu.

During the drive to build Zangcheng, Li Yuan thought that Qin State had the most obvious advantage in economic development compared with the Xiongnu. With the technical level of the Huns, they could not even manufacture the bronze weapons used by soldiers in batches. Instead, they can only use some simple melee weapons such as copper clusters and copper spears.

Now that it has turned against each other, Qin State will naturally take more severe measures. Among the series of new laws and regulations promulgated, the first is to strictly prohibit merchants from selling strategic materials such as copper and iron to the Huns without authorization; The craftsmen registered in each county are not allowed to leave their original place without the order of the county government. Of course, the secrecy of technology starts with the people first.

The third article was presented by Dr. Lou Jing from Qi, allowing and encouraging merchants to sell luxury items such as silk, satin, and seashells to Huns, Donghu, Yuezhi and other alien races.

At first glance, this strategy seems to run counter to the current hostile policy Qin should adopt towards the Xiongnu, but its real intention is to make the Xiongnu nobles fall into the situation of chasing luxury goods and enjoying fashion. For practical things, the Huns could only exchange their horses, cattle and sheep.

When the transactions are carried out again and again, when more luxuries such as silk corrupt the souls of the Huns, the time is ripe for Qin to really crusade against the Huns.

Lou Jing from Qi.

In the past, an important minister of the Western Chu State, at the time of the Great War between Qin and Chu, he was ordered by Chu Minister Xiang Tuo to go to Qin State to lobby. Later, because of the continuous war between the two countries, there was basically no possibility of stopping. The lobbying in Chang'an City became meaningless. After the fall of Chu, Lou Jing was idle in Chang'an and indulged in the neighborhood all day long. Later, under Kuai Che's persuasion, he changed his mind and became an official in the court.

At this time, Xiang Yu was dead, and Xi Chu no longer existed.

Chen Ping, Li Zheng, Guan Yue and other Qin internal affairs officials were devastated because they had to govern the huge country. When they saw someone like Lou Jing coming to vote, they quickly accepted them.

In terms of economy, Qin began to suppress the Xiongnu in an all-round way by means of blockade and dumping. In terms of diplomacy, lobbyists represented by Kuai Che and Lu Jia also began to frequently set off from Chang'an, bringing missions to In the Western Regions and Liaodong area, they lobbied those tribes who had grievances with the Xiongnu.

Lu Jia is the envoy of this mission to the Western Regions. His main route is along the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains along the Kucha, Gaochang and other places, all the way west to Wusun.

After Dayuezhi formed an alliance with the Huns, Wusun, a big country located in Central Asia and the Ili Valley, became the winner of Daqin against the Huns and Yuezhi.

The countries in the Western Regions, except for Yuezhi, Khotan, Shache, Jingjue and other countries in southern Xinjiang, because of the reason of the Silk Road, mostly have good relations with Qin State, while Qiuci, Gaochang and other places at the north and south foot of Tianshan Mountain , because they are often attacked by the Yuezhi people and the Huns, the attitudes of these countries have not been clear. In other words, they are typical fools, and they will take refuge in whichever side is strong.

On the bank of the eastern sea, Kuai Che's mission passed through Jixian County, and then headed eastward all the way to Liaodong County and Youxiangping, and then continued eastward to the Goguryeo Peninsula.

His final destination is a place in the vast jungle.

A branch of the Donghu tribe, the Xianbei people are hiding in the vast primitive jungles of the Changbai Mountains, the Greater Khingan Mountains, and the Lesser Khingan Mountains. Although they hide in Tibet and live a primitive hunting life, according to the course of history, this tribe in the following days, It will gradually walk out of the mountains, occupy the vast grasslands in the north, and annex the tribes of the Huns, becoming the overlord of the grasslands.

Regardless of whether the Xianbei people can be contacted or not, Kuaiche's trip to the Northeast is mainly to show Qin's attitude towards war with the Xiongnu. His lobbying all the way is to convey a message. If the Donghu people still remember the glory of the Donghu once powerful , Remember Donghu King's hatred for being killed by Maodun, then the opportunity for revenge has come. (To be continued..)
