General Qin

The autumn wind is whistling, and in the early morning, there is already dawn in the distant sky.

"General, our army has defeated the barbarians in this battle. I wonder if we can capture the Xiongnu Shanyu. If we can capture the Xiongnu Shanyu, wouldn't it be equivalent to capturing the king?"

Li Shang's eyes were piercing, and his voice was a little excited as he looked at the distant battlefield where the shouts of killing gradually subsided.

"It's not that easy. This place is not in a city camp. Once the nobles of the Xiongnu find out that our army is attacking at night, they will have their own guards to escort them on their horses and flee. How can we catch them amidst thousands of troops in this dark night field? I don't know if we can catch the King of Yan this time, if there are nobles from the Xiongnu who want to take him away, I'm afraid there will be regrets this time."

Zhao Tuo shook his head, he didn't have much hope for catching specific people in this dark and chaotic military camp.

Li Shiqi, who followed him, said with a smile: "There is no need to worry, general. This time, the king ordered the general to attack Dai, and it is mainly to destroy the country. The appearance of King Yan was not in the plan. Well, if you can't catch it, it's not a loss. It's a great achievement to defeat the barbarians tonight, so why bother."

Zhao Tuo smiled, but did not speak.

In fact, he didn't care too much about the achievement of capturing King Yan, he just wanted to catch that traitor of Zhu Xia.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before there were cheers from the bottom of the slope.

"King Yan!"

"Catch King Yan!"

"Kill this old man who surrendered to the barbarians!"

Amidst the cheers and curses, Lu Wan, the leader of the Qin Army's two or five hundred, blushed and excited, strode up the slope.

Behind him, a few soldiers of the Qin Army were carrying an old man covered in filth and stinking.

Lu Wan walked up to Zhao Tuo, bowed, and said excitedly, "General, the last general fulfilled his mission and returned from capturing King Yan in the enemy's camp."

"Okay! You, Lu Wan, are worthy of my fancy!"

Zhao Tuo glanced at Lu Wan approvingly.

Let King Yan, the great Han in history, go to capture King Yan in the Warring States period, and the result did not disappoint him.

Lu Wan was praised by Zhao Tuo, and her face turned redder.

He thought of the evil deeds the Hu people had heard in Gaoliu City in the past two days, and cursed: "This old king of Yan surrendered to the Hu people, colluded with the Huns to go south, and plundered the land of Zhuxia. I have to take him back to Xianyang and dedicate it to the king. I really want to cut off his dog's head with a sword, so that others can know what the end is for colluding with the barbarians."

Zhao Tuo gave him a strange look, then turned his head to look at Yan Wangxi, who was put on the ground by the soldiers of the Qin army, crying for his leg pain, and frowned, "His leg is broken?"

"It looks like it was broken by a horse's hoof. Ask him the specific situation, and he won't say anything." Lu Wan replied.

Zhao Tuo looked at King Xi of Yan, and saw that the former King of Yan was looking at him with pain.

"Zhao Tuo... Are you the Zhao Tuo who sent Li Xin to go to Liaoxi to intercept Gu and capture my son? How did you know that Gu would go to Liaodong? How did you know that!"

At the end of the conversation, Yan Wangxi was even a little hysterical.

Although he had been in the Xiongnu for the past few years, it was not that he was uninformed. Through the information circulating around, he knew that the reason why he was intercepted and killed by Li Xin in western Liaoning was all because of the suggestion of the young man in front of him.

Yan Wangxi couldn't figure it out. At that time, even Yan Dan, and even all the officials of the Yan State, could not guess that he would decisively abandon Shanggu and Yuyang counties and flee to Liaodong.

The Zhao Tuo in front of him seemed to be able to predict the future, he knew it in advance, and blocked him in the middle of the road, which led to the demise of the Yan Kingdom.

How did Zhao Tuo know that he would flee to Liaodong?

This question made Yan Wangxi unable to figure it out no matter what, and troubled him for a long time. Now that he saw the righteous master, he had to ask it in one breath, so that he would have to die to understand.

Hearing Yan Wangxi mention the past, Zhao Tuo's mind flashed the scene of the battle against Yan in the past.

It is the first time that Li Xin has truly changed the direction of history and made the country of Yan, which could have survived for a few years, perish earlier, which is of special significance to Zhao Tuo. .

Seeing Yan Wangxi looking at himself eagerly.

Zhao Tuo showed him a playful smile, and said in a low voice, "I do know that you will go to Liaodong."

Yan Wangxi opened his eyes wide, and the desire in his eyes was even more intense. He wanted to know why.

The next second, Zhao Tuo smiled: "But I won't tell you."

"No! Why don't you tell Gu! You tell Gu!"

Yan Wangxi's facial features twisted in an instant, his excited hands scratched, but Lu Wan stepped on his chest and pressed him down again.

Zhao Tuo smiled faintly, and said to Lu Wan: "Take it away, seek a doctor to bandage his leg injury, this old King Yan is related to your title, this time you capture King Yan, you, Lu Wan, a fifth doctor, can't escape , if Your Majesty is happy, there might be hope for Mr. Zuo Shu."

Lu Wan was overjoyed, and immediately agreed to ask someone to carry Yan Wangxi up and walk down the slope. As he walked, he smiled at the Qin soldiers on the left and right: "I didn't expect Nai Gong to rely on this King Yan to make a fortune. The name of this King Yan Number, it sounds good to your ears."

Yan Wangxi was still yelling madly: "Zhao Tuo! Why didn't you tell Gu, tell..."

The sound was muffled by the stinky shoe stuffed into his mouth until the figure disappeared down the slope.

Zhao Tuo withdrew his gaze and went downhill from another direction.

After a while, he crossed a messy battlefield and walked to a dead city in the distance.

tall willow.

There were still dark brown blood stains on the low city wall, and a few rotten corpses were hung on the wall. Mosquitoes and flies were flying on it, emitting bursts of stench.

Through the city gate that had been knocked open, Zhao Tuo could see the ruins burned by flames and the dead bodies lying on the street.

A dead city.

"General, those barbarians really committed the act of massacring the city, they are really not human."

Li Shang said angrily.

During the Warring States period, the various states of Xia competed for land and population. Although there were acts of massacring enemy troops, it was extremely rare to truly kill a city, regardless of age.

Zhao Tuo took a deep breath, turned and left.

His eyes were extremely cold.

After more than an hour, the surprise attack launched by the Qin army against the Huns came to an end.

Under the night attack of the Qin army, the Xiongnu suffered heavy losses, and all the Hu people hurriedly retreated northward.

The various ministries of the Qin Army did not pursue without authorization, and began to count the captured and captured prisoners.

For the Huns, that also counts as military merit.

Compared with the statistics of the number of captives and beheadings, the inventory of various materials is the fastest.

Xi Qigu, who is in charge of material management in the army, ran over excitedly.

He said with great joy: "General, we have gained a lot. The five thousand shi grains given to the Huns before were placed in the north, and were not affected by the fire. Now they are back in the hands of our army. In addition, a large amount of food was seized. Wealth, utensils, and food probably amount to nearly ten thousand stones, and thousands of cattle and horses!"

Zhao Tuo nodded, still expressionless.

Except for the cattle and horses, where the Huns got the seized goods and utensils, he knew very well, so he didn't have the slightest joy.

Seeing the general was not very happy, Xiqigu could only retreat angrily.

After a long time, the gains from this battle were finally cleared up, and the approximate data was submitted to Zhao Tuo's subordinates.

About five or six thousand Huns were killed in this battle.

The number is less than imagined, but when I think about the environment of this battle, it feels normal.

The Huns are nomads with a large number, and their camps are relatively scattered.

The target of the Qin army's attack was mainly the central area where the Xiongnu Shanyu was located. As for the many Hu tribes on both sides, they were not even within the attack range of the Qin army.

In addition, there are no dense forests in this place, and the grass and trees on the ground have been almost eaten away by the horses, so that the fire attack of the Qin army did not do much damage, and more caused confusion to the Huns, so that the Qin army could chase them down. , As for the killing effect, in that chaotic night, naturally there would not be much.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity that the company cannot be set on fire under such conditions. If it is in a densely forested area in the south, a fire will be enough to severely damage the entire Hun army."

Compared with the number of people beheaded, there were as many as 6,000 Huns captured, which surprised Zhao Tuo a little.

"General, what should we do with these Hun captives?"

Meng Tian asked.

The generals also looked over.

Zhao Tuo said indifferently: "What do you think should be done?"

"How else can we deal with it? These barbarians should have been killed long ago!"

Black Butt yelled, his eyes were red.

"That's right, kill them all, and let the second and third sons share their merits and be promoted!"

All the generals yelled loudly, this time the Qin army attacked Dai, the Dai people were few and few soldiers, and after several battles, they did not have much meritorious service.

Now the heads of these Huns are just used for promotion.

Zhao Tuo smiled.

"Then kill them all."

"In the land of the summers, no beards are left!"
