Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 328 Fighting Crickets
When Yingbo said this, Fusu immediately remembered, and immediately ordered someone to bring Batu here.

The person who brought Batu was Ji Ying, but at this time Ji Ying was not very well, and one eye was lost forever!

In that battle, the Qin army launched a surprise attack, and Donghu was not all lambs waiting to be slaughtered. A stray arrow shot Ji Ying in the eye.

Ji Ying was in unbearable pain, so he simply pulled out the arrow, and even dragged out the eyeballs, then swiped the sharp blade, just bandaged it briefly, and rushed to kill the enemy again.

Fusu didn't speak, but just patted Ji Ying's shoulder.The friendship between him and Ji Ying is also very deep. Fu Su can still remember that Ji Ying's father was an old farmer who had a lot of experience in farming. He had three sons, the eldest son and the second son died for Daqin successively.

But now that Ji Ying has lost another look, it can be said that this family is all loyal to the Great Qin!
Although Ji Ying knew him well, all the meritorious service was earned by himself, and he never asked Fusu to open the back door for him.

This is what Fusu admires a lot!
You must know that if some people have such conditions, it is still a trivial matter to ask Fusu to open a back door for them. What's more, it is possible for a fox to pretend to be a tiger and use the name of Fusu to bully the people in the village.

Seeing the look of encouragement in Fusu's eyes, Ji Ying forced a smile on his face and said, "My lord, it's all right, fighting on the battlefield will inevitably cause some damage!"

"Compared to those soldiers who died in battle, Ji Ying is already very lucky!"

After finishing speaking, Ji Ying stepped back calmly and stopped disturbing Fusu's discussion.

Seeing this, Fusu was also quite emotional. Looking at Batu, Fusu was about to narrate the cause and effect of the incident, and finally asked: "Batu, can you know the way to help my Qin army return to the pass?"

Batu looked around for a while, then chattered a lot, and a person on the side immediately translated: "He said that although he has never been here, as long as he goes south, he can help the army find water sources , can let the Qin army return to the pass."

Hearing this, everyone showed excitement on their faces. Indeed, as long as they can find the water source, there will be no serious problems.

On the vast grassland, the most scarce thing is actually not food, but the most difficult thing to find is water.

The big deal is that at the last moment, if there is no food, you can still kill horses to satisfy your hunger, and you can still have mare milk as an energy supply at ordinary times. Food is not the most important thing.

Fusu immediately gave an order: "The whole army rests overnight, and we will set off at dawn tomorrow, and the squadron will return to the court."

Looking at the sky, Fusu knew that it would be completely dark in some time, since he had explained to the soldiers, Fusu would not back down.

Let the soldiers have a full meal and then take a good rest, which will be of great benefit to the return journey.

And Fusu also felt that the barbarian who had been hit by such a blow would never be able to react in one night, and he was probably still running for his life at this moment.

When he came back to his senses, it was not that simple to find the trace of Fu Su.

You must know that even if he helped Su, it took a lot of trouble to find the main force of the Donghu along the way. Coupled with the use of Gu She and Hu Er's Hu people, he was able to find the main force of the Donghu and launch continuous attacks.

When this news spread throughout the Qin army, the entire Qin army fell into complete cheers. For them, it was suppressed for too long!
Chasing the Hu people puts a lot of pressure on the Hu people, but for them, it seems that there is a heavy burden on their shoulders. This is a competition between life and death.

"Menghe, the Qin army is under your command and arrangement for the time being." After leaving this order, Fusu had already entered the camp first.

Shocked expression appeared on Meng He's face, and he immediately wanted to ask why, but just as he walked outside the tent, he heard a burst of snoring coming from inside, and he shook his head with a wry smile.

Although Meng He who was beside Fu Su sometimes did not approve of Fu Su's actions, Meng He could see everything that Fu Su had done along the way.

Meng He believed that what Fu Su did, even his father, Meng Tian, ​​who was in charge of the 30 Qin army commander, could not fault him!
This five-day and five-night pursuit battle seemed to have no technical content. It was just to find the main force of the barbarians and launch a surprise attack. However, not everyone could bear the weight on it.

Every time the decision is slightly wrong, these tens of thousands of Qin troops will be completely buried in this desert!
But Fusu took up this burden resolutely, without even uttering a cry of pain.Meng He also felt the weight of his responsibility.

It is a manifestation of Fusu's trust in Menghe that he temporarily handed over the Qin army to him to command and arrange.

From Fusu's point of view, Menghe's prudent work was the most suitable for the Qin army at this time. Even if the soldiers at the bottom were a little relaxed, Menghe would never do it.

Even if there is any unexpected incident, without him to help Su, Meng He will definitely handle it well in the end.

Therefore, Fusu can safely hand over the Qin army to Menghe, while he sleeps soundly in the tent.

…………

Standing on the pass, Meng Tian watched the last batch of camels enter the pass carrying the spoils of the common people.

The camel, that is, the camel, is the most widely used livestock in wars of this era, but the camel must be indispensable for transporting luggage.

Compared with delicate war horses, camels are resistant to hunger and thirst, and have very strong endurance, so they are naturally the best choice for transporting supplies.

Looking at the grassland in the north, Meng Tian's expression was solemn, he couldn't see whether it was joy or sorrow. A few days ago, he had completely lost contact with the Fusu army.

And Meng Tian also knew that Fusu chose the most risky and daring way, abandoning all the luggage and making a surprise attack with light equipment.

If you use it well, you can naturally get unexpected miraculous effects, but if you make a slight mistake, you will fall into a place of eternal doom.

At that time, even if Meng Tian wanted to help, he would be powerless.

But now, the people rescued by Fusu have all been sent back to the pass, and the peasants who came from all over the country also joined the local people and started to rebuild their homes under the organization of the government.

The wounds of the battlefield in the entire Northland are quickly healed. The only thing that makes people worry about is the Qin army that is still hanging out alone.

Those people who were rescued prayed silently for this in their hearts. Without this Qin army going out, I don't know how many of them would have survived.

Even if they can survive, they will be bullied and oppressed by the Hu people, and women, as a vulnerable group among them, will become the targets of the Hu people.

How could it be possible to return to the Great Wall today?
But speaking of it, the harvest this time is also very huge, not counting the number of beheadings, just bringing back 60 million cattle, sheep and horses from the grassland. Such a result is already making people's eyes turn red with envy.

Under the Shaofu's arrangement, countless Quyuanli were also continuously transported towards the land of Yanzhao.

Originally, although Quyuanli was manufactured, it was mostly pulled by manpower, because at that time, there were not many cattle in Daqin.

The so-called cattle plowing is of course out of the question, and it can only be plowed by manpower. At this time, so many cattle have been seized, and this northern land naturally has the conditions to implement cattle plowing.

Compared with humans, cattle plow deeper, and the effect of plowing the land is several times better than that of manpower. The fertile soil deposited in the ground is plowed out. It is foreseeable that winter wheat can be planted on such land. , the coming year is bound to be a bumper year.

The land in Guanzhong eats more corn, the land of Jianghuai eats more rice, but in Yanzhao land, the people eat more wheat, and in combination with cattle farming, this way, it complements each other.

The captured sheep quickly caused the price of mutton on the market to drop. In an instant, the price of mutton became the price of Chinese cabbage. Some meaty.

…………

The sky was getting dark, and the corvees responsible for rebuilding Juyang City had already got off work. They gathered together in twos and threes, chatting and farting to relieve the day's distress.

One of them had an unshaven beard and disheveled hair, just wrapped in a turban casually, looked at everyone with a mysterious face, and said to the surrounding people: "Everyone, I got a baby in the past two days."

As soon as the man's words came out, everyone was curious and asked, "What kind of treasure is it?"

"Take it out and have a look!"

Seeing the impatient looks on the faces of the people, the man was greatly satisfied, and he no longer kept his secrets. He carefully took out a box from his arms, opened the lid, and there was a cricket in it.

When everyone looked at it, their faces showed disapproval. Among the crowd, one person sneered: "Lu Wan, I remember that you seemed to lose to Chen Xi in the cricket fight last time. Why, this time you want to fight him again. fight?"

"What's the matter?" Lu Wan blushed and argued.

"Why not?" One person yelled, "Last time I clearly saw that you lost ten coins to Chen Xi, and you still owe it!"

"That's right, I saw it too, and I can testify!" A person next to him also echoed, and the crowd immediately burst into laughter.

It turned out that because of the outbreak of the war, Lu Wan was directly incorporated into the corvee team. Liu Bang, or a man named Liu Ji at this time, and Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, who had the same fate as Lu Wan, were all included in the conscript list. .

This time, Liu Ji did not flee to Mangdang Mountain, but came to Juyang City in Shanggu County smoothly, and was responsible for the construction of Juyang City together with many peasants.

Being confiscated as a corvee and building a city is extremely difficult, so many people have fun while suffering, and this fighting cricket is one of them. In the Book of Songs, there are also chapters about crickets.

When Lu Wan was in the Surabaya Pavilion, he loved game cocks, and now it is inconvenient to bring game cocks, but in September and October, this cricket is just in time to make up for his lack.

Seeing that her lie had been exposed, Lu Wan blushed and said, "I tell you, I will never lose this time."

Looking at the cricket in the box, Lu Wan had a confident look on her face, and said, "You don't want to see what this cricket is about this time?"

A few words from Lu Wan whetted everyone's appetites, and one of them followed the conversation and asked, "Then what's your origin as a cricket?"

When Lu Wan saw this, she put on airs, and everyone felt anxious when they saw this, "Tell us quickly."

"Tell me?" Seeing that it was about the same time, Lu Wan stopped being impatient and said, "Look at my cricket, how straight are my tentacles, how tall is my head, how many crickets can compare with it? I also have thighs." ..."

Lu Wan was elated and spitting, and everyone came back from work at this time, tired. Listening to Lu Wan's explanation, they also found it very interesting, so they all listened with relish.

Seeing the expectant looks on everyone's faces, Lu Wan was even more satisfied, and she spoke even harder, saying, "This cricket of mine is different from ordinary crickets. How many can compare with it? Therefore, I named him Big Black Claw." General!"

Lu Wan looked at the crowd proudly, but everyone booed.

"You bragged like that last time, but what's the result?" There was a voice among the crowd, and said, "Didn't you get killed by Chen Xi's copper teeth?"

Seeing someone come to expose the scar again, Lu Wan couldn't help feeling anxious, and said: "This time, my black pincer general will never lose."

The crowd laughed and laughed for a long time, one of them said: "There is no basis for what you say, you have to fight with a sword and a gun to find out, do you dare?"

However, Lu Wan hesitated, with a look of embarrassment on his face. When everyone saw this, the sarcasm on their faces became more obvious.

"What's the use of talking big?" The man said again, "If you have the ability to defeat Chen Xi's crickets, we all believe in you."

Provoked by that person, Lu Wan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and said, "Just compare, you go and call Chen Xi, and I will fight him again."

As soon as the words came out, Lu Wan felt a little regretful, but it was difficult for Lu Wan to swallow these words back in front of everyone.

"Okay, just wait, I'll call Chen Xi now, don't go back on your word." After speaking, the man disappeared in a flash.

After a while, one of them came here with a box in his hand, looked at Lu Wan, and said, "You said that your general with black pincers and red pincers can defeat my copper teeth?"

Looking at Lu Wan, Chen Xi said: "Last time you lost to me by ten big boys, and you still haven't paid it back!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Wan also wanted to save face very much, and refused to back down, saying: "I won you this time, so the debt from last time will be cancelled?"

"Okay, have the guts!" Seeing Lu Wan's face full of confidence, Chen Xi took out ten big boys from his arms and said, "If I lose to you in this game, not only will the last debt be written off, but even These ten copper coins are also yours."

"But if you lose, you want to give me [-] copper coins at once with interest, dare you?" Chen Xi looked at Lu Wan with a rather serious expression.

When Lu Wan heard this, she also felt that she had taken advantage of it. Speaking of which, her bet this time was only ten copper coins, while Chen Xi was twenty copper coins.

The only thing that worries Lu Wan is that he can't get out even one copper coin, not to mention twenty copper coins.
