Qiang Qin

King Wu is back!

In fact, King Wu was not seriously ill, but went to the Tianshui River Valley, the birthplace of the ancestors of the Qin State, to worship the kings and sages who established the Qin State.

Although this official statement made some wise and intelligent people not believe it, it was the most acceptable to the majority of Qin people.

These days, the cruelty of the Huns in Hetao made all the bloody Qin people furious, and made those Xinqin people in Guandong counties and counties who had not long been attached to Qin State indignant.As the rule of the new Qin became more and more stable, the sense of belonging of the people of the new Qin to the Qin country was also increasing day by day. More and more Kanto people believed that: the Seven Civil War was a battle between brothers; The current war is a fight between two nations.

Blood for blood, tooth for tooth.

The blood does not dry, and there is no truce in death.

Drive the Huns out, and then the army of the Qin State drove straight into Mobei, sweeping up the royal court of the Huns, and completely solved the scabies that had plagued the people of the Central Plains for many years.

October [-]st.

Li Yuan swore an oath as a teacher in Chang'an, and elite troops from all over the state of Qin gathered together. In order to deal with the large-scale invasion of the Huns, the central court of the state of Qin, in addition to ordering all the troops along the border, moved closer to places where the fighting was fierce. In addition, soldiers were conscripted from the hinterland of Qin State except Jiangdong to join the conquest army.

In terms of generals, Wang Shang and Zhong Limei became Li Yuan's right-hand men respectively. As for counselors, Li Zuoche and Lou Jing were recruited into Li Yuan's account, and Cao Xin, a one-eyed general who had always been eager to fight the enemy, was appointed as the vanguard. General, this order also made Cao Xin very excited for several days.

In addition to Cao Xin, a large number of young generals of the Qin Army also joined the expedition. Many of them were young men who accompanied Li Yuan to retreat from Guanzhong to Yongqi. Among these young men, The most outstanding one is the Qin general Gan Yong who is now standing alone in Hexi.

Gan Yong's frequent reuse made young people like him feel joyful and encouraged, and they remembered the glory of the old Montessori army.They are eager to resist foreign captives, fight against enemy bandits, and become heroes who defend their home and country like their ancestors.

The army is marching north!

Along the way, he was welcomed by soldiers and civilians from all cities in Guanzhong and Jiuyuan County. Wherever Li Yuan's banner went, the people of Daqin cheered thunderously, and the morale of [-] generals was high, vowing to fight the Huns to the end.

——.

Good news always follows!

Just as the army of the Qin State was on the march, the battle report from the Western Regions was reported by Kuai Ma Feiqi, far west of the Western Regions.Qin Qi and Wusun, who pursued the Dayue clan all the way, joined forces, and finally surrounded and wiped out the desperate King Dayue clan who had fled everywhere at the northern foot of the Altai Mountains.

In desperation, the King of the Dayue Clan surrendered to the coalition forces of Qin and Wusun, but was beheaded by Lie Jiaomi, the king of Wusun.After struggling to survive by moving westward again and again, Da Yuezhi finally disappeared in the long river of history.

Wusun and Yuezhi.

The grievances between the two sides have been entangled for more than [-] years, starting from the two tribes attacking each other at the foot of the Qilian Mountains in the Hexi Corridor, and then Wusun moved westward to the Tianshan Mountains.The process in the middle is just dry words, but the real process is accompanied by the blood and tears of Wusun people.

Facing the enemy who took away their homeland, the Dayue clan knelt down to the Huns in humiliation, and willingly became the helpers of the Huns in their march into the Western Regions.The Wusun people chose to unite with Qin.Rising up against the enemy of the Dayue Clan, in this respect, Wusun King Lie Jiaomi's knowledge is obviously much better than that of the Dayue Clan.This is why he will leave his name in history, and the Dayue clan is except for the name of one ethnic group.The reason why it is not even possible to test who the leader is.

The Da Yue clan's territory in the Western Regions was immediately divided up by Wusun and other countries in the Western Regions. The Qin State only stationed more than [-] infantry in the city of Gushi.To show his existence, Qin general Ji Xin became the commander of this small army, and at the same time, he also naturally became the actual ruler of Gushi City.

The existence of the Gushi Qin Army also tells the various ministries living in the Western Regions that the Qin Army will make a comeback at any time. If they want to occupy the north and south of Tianshan Mountain for a long time, they must regard Qin as their reliance.

A city is a country.

This is the current situation where there are many small countries in the Western Regions. Unintentionally, Ji Xin suddenly became the king of the small countries in Journey to the West when Tang Monk went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures.

Of course, such a king is not what Ji Xin wants.

Not only him, but even Li Zhongxiang, who is already the commander of the coalition forces in the Western Regions, was dissatisfied with having to lead a motley army in his military report to Li Yuan.

After receiving the news of the fall of the Dayue clan, ambitious and thoughtful city-states in the Western Regions such as Loulan and Shule were all overjoyed. They sent envoys to contact Li Zhongxiang, an acquaintance, so that he could take a step ahead of other countries. Extend the tentacles to the north of the Tianshan Mountains.

In the south of the Tianshan Mountains, there are mainly desert oases, and the population and size of the oases will be limited. On the grasslands in the north, the sky is high, the sea is broad, the grass is fertile, and it can just provide the material conditions needed for population growth.

After the war in the Western Regions ended, the Qin cavalry army who fought in foreign countries began to return, and the next task of guarding the Western Regions was handed over to the coalition forces of various countries led by Li Zhongxiang.

The return of the Luojia cavalry brought great news to the Ganyong and Jibu troops of the Qin army fighting in Hexi. In the past month, Huyanxie had been slow to drill into Dunhuang's pocket, and The Qin army suffered from the disadvantage of using infantry to deal with the cavalry of the Huns, and the battle in Hexi fell into a long-term stalemate.

Now with Luo Jia, a quick-reaction force, the Qin army in Hexi finally had the confidence to compete with the Huns.

The situation on the western front of the Qin Dynasty gradually improved with the return of the Luojia Cavalry Army.

Although Hu Yanxie is old and treacherous, he has been plundering Qin's land for a long time. After all, it is not as convenient as his own grassland. The fortresses on the mountain can be seen by the Huns, but they cannot be eaten.

Attacking a target like the remnant of the Aries cannot solve the huge ranger's supply.The Huns went south not just to give the horses a bite of fodder, but to rob the Qin State of grain, wealth, and population, and to prepare various reserves for the coming severe winter.

If the looted things only meet the usual consumption, then even if the Huns win again, they will still fail in the end.

The situation in the Yanbei area on the eastern front is not too different from that in Hexi. After a year of training, Han Xin's Yanbei Army has taken shape. look like.

Like Hu Yanxie, Zuoxian King Qiu Lijin of the Xiongnu had suffered from the attack of the Qin army. Therefore, he was not active at the beginning when he was ordered to attack the Qin State. In the end, under the persecution of the Hun envoys, he had to use up his troops.However, Qiu Lijin still kept his hands on the choice of attack target.

He did not continue the route of the last battle of Yanbei, but marched westward first, and then besieged the important town of Mayi at the junction of the Qin Frontier Army Group and the Yan Dynasty Army Group.

Mayi.

Located at the junction of Yunzhong County and Dai County, it has always been a battleground for military strategists.

In the 34th year of the first emperor, Qin general Meng Tian chased the Xiongnu outside Yanmen Pass to the north, besieged the city to raise horses, and created the name of Mayi. From Yanmen Pass in the south to Shahukou in the north, this "Ancient Mayi Road" stretched from south to north, forming the Central Plains It is a traffic artery connecting with the desert, Central Asia and Europe.

Once the Huns capture Mayi, they can send their troops into the hinterland of the Central Plains, sweep the old Zhao land eastward, and outflank the rear of the Qin army in Yan.To the west, you can occupy Hedong County and threaten Jinyang, where Qin's largest military building is located.

Mayi is in a hurry.

The general of the Qin army guarding the city was none other than Su Jiao, a strong general of the Qin army who was stationed in Yunzhong County and Hedong County after leaving the Frontier Army Group.

This veteran general in the frontier army was nearly fifty years old, his complexion was still rosy, and his body was even more straight. Every time Li Yuan went north and passed through Hedong, he would go to the Sujiao County Mansion to sit down.

Not for anything else, but to reminisce about the old days with this veteran general in the army. With the growth of age, there will be generations of young generals rising up. Veteran generals like Su Jiao are the mainstay of the Qin army. Li Yuan hoped that Su Jiao can serve as a link between the past and the future, not only setting an example of a professional army for young people, but also injecting traditional military spirit into the army of the new Qin Dynasty.

What is Qin Jun's military soul?

That is the sung in the battle song "Jiu Lao Qin, restore my rivers and mountains, blood will not be shed, and death will not stop-!" This kind of unyielding spirit is the soul of the soldiers of the Qin army to go forward and fight bravely.

Qiu Lijin attacked Mayi.

Facing Su Jiao, a general of the Qin Dynasty with rich experience in the battlefield, Qiu Lijin suffered a bloody blow. Many Huns died in the battle in Mayi City, but they were still unable to lead Su Jiao's army out of the city to fight in the field.

Impulse does not mean bravery.

After experiencing the lesson that Julu was defeated by the overlord Xiang Yu and almost lost his life in military service, Su Jiao no longer had the arrogance in his eyes, and more importantly, the appearance of Li Yuan made him lose his life in the battle. After being shocked again and again, I felt my gap and inadequacy.

October [-]rd.

After receiving Li Yuan's order to counterattack, General Han Xin of the Yanbei Qin Army led his troops out of Yuyang and Xiangping, braved the blizzard and snow in late autumn, and marched towards the old nest of the Qiuli tribe of the Xiongnu. The first army rushes to aid Mayi. After being passively beaten for more than half a year, Qin finally officially sounded the horn of counterattack.

At the same time, in the Hetao area, the frontier army continued to rely on several strong cities such as Jiuyuan and Yongquan, and held back the Huns. Work together to defeat the remaining Qin army in the Hetao area.

On October [-]th, Yongquan City fell.

There were more than [-] Qin people guarding the city, and the last one died in battle when they ran out of ammunition and food. After the Huns captured the city, they set fire to the city to vent their personal anger.

The beacon fire soaring into the sky rose from the Hetao Plain, and it could be clearly seen from the tower of Jiuyuan City fifty miles away.

General Wang Li of the frontier army supported the battlements with his hands, staring at the place where the beacon smoke rose, he was speechless for a long time. (to be continued..)

ps: On the last day of 2013, I wish all book friends good health and all the best. In the new year, continue to have a good mood, come on.
