Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 326 Promise
Blood dripped from the tip of the sword, and on this grassland, the fragrance of fragrant grass in the air mixed with the smell of blood.

Fusu's eyes were cold, watching Gu She and Hu'er lead the East Hu cavalry back to the Qin Army's formation.

Panting heavily, Gu She came to Fu Su, Fu Su thought about the scene of Gu She fighting bravely in the Donghu camp just now, and thought to himself: "Sure enough, the second devil is more ruthless than the devil."

This is also a common practice in ancient and modern China and abroad. The most ruthless attack on compatriots is often the traitorous own people. In order to express that one is separated from one's past and expresses loyalty to the new master, this is the most effective and simplest way.

Keeping these in mind, Fusu showed a smile on his face, and said: "Gu She, you have contributed the most to this battle, take a short rest and continue to pursue."

"No." Gu She made rapid progress and was able to start a conversation in simple Qin language.

Fusu didn't intend to end here. Only by completely inflicting damage on Donghu and trying to reduce the strength of the Hu people, can Fusu deal with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms with peace of mind.

Fusu knew that these people were much more difficult to deal with than the barbarians, and their tricks and tricks emerged one after another. Fusu, who had visited the people, knew this deeply.

Immediately, Fusu ordered the Qin army to pursue again.

Facing the Donghu cavalry who had completely lost their fighting spirit, the Qin army was invincible, and the Donghu cavalry fell into defeat every time they fought.

As night fell, Gu She came back panting. This was already the fifth battle today, and the Donghu people disappeared from Qin Jun's sight again after dropping thousands of corpses.

Whether it was the Donghu cavalry who surrendered or the Qin army, Fusu was exhausted at first glance. Five bloody battles in one day had already made them feel exhausted.

"Continue to pursue!" Fusu ordered in a cold voice.

"My lord, we can't fight anymore!" Meng He looked at Fu Su, his words were extraordinarily firm.

"Our soldiers are exhausted right now, how can they still have combat strength?" Meng He said: "Even though our soldiers can still fight, what about the horses?"

"If the pursuit continues, a large number of war horses will be killed and injured. How will our army deal with the barbarians?"

"There is still food and grass. There are only a few days of food and grass left for our soldiers. The supply line is so long. If there is any change in it? How will our army respond?"

Meng Tuo also came to Fusu's side, and said: "Young master, elder brother is right, our army has already gained a lot, and the loss is quite serious. At this time, it is most appropriate for the troops to return to the imperial court."

Fusu stared at the two of them, and said, "Most of the officers in the army think the same way?"

Seeing that Meng He and Meng Tuo didn't make any objection, Fu Su knew that it was supposed to be so!
It was also thanks to the new army and the Mengjia army who led the fortress, so that they could still exist as an organization under such battle damage and obey his orders.

It is necessary to know that the current situation of the Qin army has lost more than half, and in history, under such a loss, there is still no chaos, and all the troops that maintain their combat power are elite and powerful divisions.

However, even so, it is inevitable that there will be some complaints in the army, and Fusu is always paying attention to the situation in the army.

For him, this is not a trivial matter. The embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an ant's nest. This sentence is perfect for the army.

In the military, no matter what kind of problem, if it is not resolved in time, it may often become the last straw that overwhelms the camel.

"Call all officers with more than a hundred generals, I have something to say."

A moment later, in front of Fusu, there were hundreds of people standing in various ways.Some of them were just a small soldier a few days ago, but after a few battles, they became generals of hundreds.

On the one hand, such soldiers were indeed heroic in killing the enemy on the battlefield. On the other hand, many low-level officers in the army suffered heavy losses and urgently needed to be supplemented. Therefore, these people were promoted.

Fusu glanced at the people in front of him, and said, "I know, you are all very tired, but you have to know, those barbarians who are fleeing are even more tired!"

"If you don't fight the barbarians now, when will you wait?"

"You have followed me all the way, and have seen with your own eyes the horrors of the Hu people's plundering. Juyang City was turned into a scorched earth, and countless people were captured by them on the grassland and became slaves."

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a short time! When will you use them? It is today!"

"Let's go back here. Indeed, we are all heroes, and we can all be awarded, rewarded, and landed."

"But, in less than five years, the barbarians will be able to make a comeback. By then, how will you be doing?"

"Could it be possible to tell those people who died that you, who were clearly able to pursue you today, chose to give up, leading to this ending?"

"I'll ask you again, who is willing to fight the barbarians with me?"

"Me!" Hundreds of officers shouted in unison with vengeful anger in their eyes.

They have seen with their own eyes the tragic scene of barbarian looting along the way, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the scene is a hell on earth.

"Okay!" Fusu said with an excited look on his face, "Soldiers, I promise you that after the class master returns to the court, I will play a performance to His Majesty. All the soldiers who died this time will be buried in the imperial mausoleum, and I will win with you." The family will enjoy blood food and worship forever, and if the family wins, it will not change for a day."

Everyone's eyes showed shock, and they looked at Fusu with gratitude and excitement in their eyes.

As a soldier, the most fearful thing is forgetting. Even if he died for the country, he didn't even leave his name. Even if someone wanted to sacrifice, he didn't know who to sacrifice to.

And there is no blood sacrifice, it is really terrible for the people of Zhuxia at this time!This means that they have no peace after death, and from beginning to end, they are just a wandering ghost.

But now, Fusu not only promised that they could accompany the Ying family to enjoy the sacrifice, but also to be buried in the imperial tomb. This is really the highest honor and praise for the sergeant.

This is also the best way for the imperial court and His Majesty to express their praise, and the world will remember them. In the 36th year of Qin Shihuang, there was such a Qin army. Under the leadership of Fusu, he went out to conquer the Hu people, died in the battle, and was buried in the imperial mausoleum after his death.

Fusu kept talking, and continued: "The heirs of the soldiers who died in the battle not only inherit your titles, but are also raised by the imperial court. Please ask everyone in the world to be their teachers and teach them knowledge. Both parents are supported by the imperial court. If the wife does not remarry , but you will not pay land tax for life.”

Countless people's eyes were red, looking at Fusu, they couldn't help but shed tears.What Fusu promised just hit their hearts.

For them, what they fear most is undoubtedly that after death in battle, although they have titles, their parents are old and no one is taking care of them, and their children are too young and no one is taking care of them.

But all of this is now, in Fusu's promise, everything will change.

At this time, the best embodiment of the two people's righteousness is that one of them says to the other, "Your wife, children and parents, I will take care of them."

Maybe this is a joke in later generations, but at this time, if you are not a close friend, you will never make such a heavy promise.

And those who promise such a promise will also solemnly fulfill the promise to protect it.Even if I am hungry, I will give the food I get to my friends' wives, children and parents.Even if I have no winter clothes to wear, I will buy winter clothes for my friends' wives, children and parents.

A promise is a lifetime practice!

This is the fashion at this time, for the morality in the heart, even death is not hesitating.

At this time, the words Fusu said are similar to the phrase "Your parents, wife and children, I will raise them!", and the promise made is even more profound.

Please teach your descendants, this kind of promise is here, only Fusu can make it, because he is the eldest son of the first emperor, if he can say it, he can make it.

The officers present, in a sense, some of them have already reached the top in the army.

If you want to rise, it is no longer as simple as fighting the enemy bravely on the battlefield, but you need to learn the art of war and other knowledge and knowledge, and it is no longer like the bottom-level corporal leaders and chiefs leading soldiers to rush and fight.

If the title wants to be promoted further, it is also necessary to start thinking about the overall situation and learn knowledge. Only in this way can there be a possibility of promotion.

Otherwise, even if you get promoted by luck, you may go back at any time after the first battle.

As for the books on the art of war, they are either in the hands of the aristocratic royal family, or they are only available to everyone in the world, and there are no other books.

You must know that in this era, some precious military books are often hard to come by. If there is such a volume of military books, it can be offered as a family heirloom.

With such a volume of military books, it is not difficult to make a family prosperous for a hundred years.

And Fusu's promise undoubtedly gave their future generations unlimited possibilities.

Fusu glanced at the many soldiers, and said: "My Great Qin never treats meritorious soldiers badly. They give them honors and salaries, give them land and houses, and reward them with gold and silver. Now, those who have made meritorious service with me in the battle will be met by the imperial court." Great rewards."

"Wan victorious! Wan victorious! Wan victorious!" Under Fusu's promise and impassioned words, the atmosphere of the entire Qin army changed.

Meng He and Meng Tuo looked at this scene in amazement. Before this, the entire Qin army was filled with depression, but a few words from Fusu greatly boosted the morale of the entire Qin army.

The two looked at Fusu, and seemed to feel that there was a special magical power in Fusu's words, which made the listeners have to be infected.

Fusu didn't care about this. It seemed that the generals of the Qin army were changed because of his few words, but the foundation of all this was Qin Ting's credibility.

He is confident in helping Su, representing the imperial court, if he dares to make such a promise, he is sure to keep it.

Since the beginning of Shang Yang's reform more than 100 years ago, Qin Ting's credibility has suddenly increased. In the hearts of the people, Qin Ting's credibility has always been strong.

The granting of titles is all traceable and unequivocal. Although the credibility of the Qin court has been declining in recent years, in the hearts of the people, they still believe in the court, and they still trust the words of the court. .

And Fusu has always had a good reputation, and it is also praised in this northern land, as Meng Tian's personal guard, how could he not know that?Therefore, I firmly believe in Fusu's promise.

Looking at the soldiers of the Qin army with high morale, Fusu gave an order in a deep voice: "Give me an order that everyone should only bring weapons and food for five days, and discard the rest of the armor, food and supplies, and follow me to chase the barbarians."

As soon as the order was given, all the soldiers immediately took off the armor and other heavy and clumsy things on their bodies according to Fusu's instructions.

The armor equipped on the horse was also removed, and the entire Qin army team suddenly became a light cavalry.

In order to pursue speed, Fusu decided to reduce the load to the greatest extent.On the other hand, Fusu is among the Hu people who are afraid of fleeing. If someone who understands reacts, it will be dangerous for Qin Jun!
Only with continuous movement and continuous attack on Hu people during the movement can the entire Qin army maintain a relatively safe state.

Menghe wanted to dissuade Fusu, but seeing the morale of the soldiers of the Qin army, he opened his mouth and never said anything.

Taking advantage of the night, the Qin army marched again in the vast prairie.

This time, the speed of Qin Jun's movement was much faster than before. When they marched to the middle of the night, the scouts on the road sent information again and discovered the barracks of the Hu people.

Fusu looked at the sky and ordered: "All officers and soldiers rest in place for an hour."

In another hour, it will be almost dawn. At that time, the Hu people will be the most sleepy. The Hu people who are already frightened, coupled with sleepiness, will definitely be difficult to stop the Qin army's attack.

This is also the reason why Fusu dared to let the Qin army abandon armor and supplies. He believed that the Hu people who had lost their fighting spirit at this time would not be the opponent of the Qin army.

"Woo... woo..." The attack horn sounded.

Many Hu people were still immersed in their sleep, but at this time, the louder and louder the sound of horseshoes woke them up from their sleep.

But it was too late, looking at the overwhelming Qin army, there was no one among the Hu people who dared to fight, so they stepped on their horses and began to flee desperately.

Seeing the fleeing barbarians, Fusu didn't pursue them, but ordered the soldiers to concentrate on killing all the barbarians in front of him.

It is better to cut off one finger than to injure the enemy's ten fingers.Every time, a part of the enemy's quantity can be gnawed away, and the accumulation of less will make more, and finally the strength of the barbarians will be greatly reduced.

Fusu knew very well in his heart that with his own army of less than 2 troops, it was an unrealistic idea to accomplish all of his merits in one battle, and all he could do was nibble.

However, this is undoubtedly a great test for the Qin army, which means that the Qin army will have to conduct continuous operations.

"Zuojun Sima, what's going on?" At dawn, Fusu found that the entire Qin army had stagnated after the fight, and hurriedly asked why.

"Why not keep going? Do you know we can't stop?"

"My lord, but these were seized?" Sima looked at Fusu, wanting to explain.

"Throw it all away!" Fusu said with a blank expression, "Bringing these captured things will slow down our marching speed, pass on my order, keep moving forward, and chase the barbarians."
