General Qin

"Fan Kui captured Guishuang Xihou?"

Zhao Tuo led the main force of the Qin army back, and when he arrived at the main battlefield where the army ration team was located, he received this news that surprised him a little.

It is different from the situation where he set up a scheme to trap and kill Shuangmi Yuezhi.

The situation on the battlefield here is that the Yuezhi encircled the Qin army's grain team, and the Yuezhi people took the initiative in the war. They fought as they wanted, and left as they wanted.

Seeing the Qin army's reinforcements, the Yuezhi people saw that the situation was not good, so they could just run away.

In Zhao Tuo's plan, the number of cavalry of the Qin army was small, and it was possible to rush back to clear the siege of the chariot formation, and join forces with the infantry of the Qin army inside to repel the Yuezhi cavalry.

But it is very difficult to wipe out the Yuezhi cavalry, let alone capture the enemy's leader.

When Fan Kui personally escorted a middle-aged man in a red robe over, Zhao Tuo's doubts disappeared.

"General, fortunately, Fan Kui did not disgrace his life and captured one of the Marquis Xi of the Yue family."

"This is his golden crown, dedicated to the general!"

Fan Kuai stepped forward, holding a gorgeous golden crown in both hands and presenting it to Zhao Tuo.

His voice was as loud as thunder, which frightened Guishuang Xihou to think that Fan Kui was asking him to kneel down, so he knelt on the ground with a plop, and kept saying Yuezhi language begging for mercy.

Zhao Tuo glanced at Guishuang who was pale and kept begging for mercy, and ignored him for the time being.

Zhao Tuo reached out to take the golden crown from Fan Kui, and while playing with it, he said with a smile: "What a fan Kui, he can make such great achievements in the first battle. He really is a strong general, and he will be the pillar of our Qin army in the future." !"

Li Shiqi also came up to him, and said in amazement, "Fan Goutu, you are really a lucky general. You were able to catch the Marquis of Yueshi for the first time on the battlefield. I think that after this battle, your I'm afraid the title will be raised by many levels."

Hearing the praise from the general and Li Shiqi, Fan Kui laughed with anticipation in his eyes.

Since he joined the Qin army, he also knew the rules of the Qin people. All the senior generals of the Qin army must have the corresponding titles to serve, and there is no official without a title.

This time he charged and killed, captured the Marquis of the Yue Family from the Ten Thousand Army and came back, he was promoted and worshiped as a prince, so he was naturally very happy.

Fan Kuai said in his mouth: "This is all the merit of the general's command. If there is no general who uses troops like a god, how can Fan Kui, a dog butcher, show his prestige on this battlefield."

Zhao Tuo nodded slightly, Fan Kui was a rough man, but he had good eyesight, he won merits without arrogance, and he was very measured in his speech.

After another few words of praise for Fan Kui, Zhao Tuo's gaze fell on the Marquis Guishuang Xi in front of him.

Guishuang Xihou babbled a lot, and after finishing speaking, he fell on the ground and stretched his head to kiss the toe of Zhao Tuo's shoe.

All the Qin people around were amazed at this scene, but they didn't expect the Yuezhi people to like to lick people's feet.

"General, this Marquis of Guishuang said that he is willing to submit to us. As long as the general releases him, he will lead his troops out of Henan and return to Hexi."

"He also said that after returning, he will definitely convince King Yuezhi that in the future, the entire Yuezhi will be a vassal to Daqin, offering horses, cattle and sheep every year, and never daring to become an enemy of Daqin."

Zhao Tuo couldn't understand Yuezhi language, but Li Shi could understand it. After more than half a year of self-study, he was able to communicate in Yuezhi language, so he just happened to be the interpreter for Zhao Tuo and Guishuang Xihou.

"Honor and pay tribute?"

Zhao Tuo couldn't help laughing.

This Marquis of Guishuang understood quite well, knowing that what the Central Plains dynasty liked most was the border barbarians paying tribute to them, offering tribute, and expressing their submission.

If it was in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the king of Shang and the emperor of Zhou might have made an oath of alliance with him, and then let him go back.

But times have changed.

It was no longer Yin Shang and Zong Zhou who followed the feudal system to rule the Central Plains, but Qin Shihuang who wanted to take all the land in the world.

The emperor used a well-known phrase to describe the barbarians surrounding the Great Qin:

Where the sun and the moon shine, and where the rivers and rivers go, are all Qin land.

I come, I see, I conquer.

Whether it is Henan or Hexi occupied by the Yuezhi people, it is the target of the Qin army to conquer this time.

It was naturally impossible for Zhao Tuo to agree to Guishuang Xihou's conditions and let him go back.

Not to mention the cunning of the barbarians, this guy said nice things on the surface, and when you let him go, you might immediately gather your troops to fight again, how can you believe it easily.

"Guishuang..."

Zhao Tuo squinted his eyes, looking at Guishuang Xihou who was kneeling in front of him, licking his shoes and pleading.

If he remembers correctly, the Guishuang Empire was one of the four great powers in Eurasia in history.

Tied with the Han Dynasty, Rome and Parthia.

Its empire has a vast territory, occupying most of Central Asia, ruling tens of millions of people, and even went south to conquer half of India.

The Guishuang Empire itself was established after the Guishuang tribe of the Da Yuezhi conquered the rest of the tribes.

If there is no accident, the founder of the empire should be the descendants of the Guishuang Xihou who knelt in front of Zhao Tuo.

Now Zhao Tuo led his troops westward, captured Guishuang Xihou alive, and severely damaged the power of the Guishuang tribe, causing the Guishuang tribe to lose its strength among the Yuezhi tribes.

On this grassland where the weak and the strong prey on the strong, even if the remnants of the Guishuang tribe can return to Hexi, they may be easily annexed by other tribes in the future.

Even Zhao Tuo was ruthless and sent cavalry to pursue him, maybe he could completely wipe out the Guishuang Yueshi in Henan.

"In this way, wouldn't the Guishuang Empire disappear?"

Zhao Tuo felt his influence.

With a single thought, he can kill the world power that will dominate Central Asia in the future, and even change the history of the entire Central Asia, India and other places.

As far as he knows, the Guishuang Empire is an important node on the Silk Road, and it will also be the largest Buddhist promotion country in the world in the future.

Buddhism prospered because of the belief of King Guishuang. In the original history, Buddhism also entered Northwest China through the Guishuang Empire, and finally flowed into the Central Plains. During the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, more than half of the foreign monks wandering in the Central Plains were from Guishuang.

If the Guishuang Empire disappears, even if it is replaced by another nation to re-establish a large empire, the direction of the entire history of Asia may be very different.

Zhao Tuo secretly exclaimed that he can not only change the history of China and Kyushu, but also affect Central Asia, and further affect the whole world.

Suppressing the strange feeling in my heart, I faced Guishuang Xihou's plea.

Zhao Tuo said indifferently: "Take him down first, and separate him from Shuangmi Xihou."

"only."

The short soldiers immediately stepped forward and pulled down the begging Guishuang Xihou.

At this time, Chen Ping, who had been silent all this time, came up and offered advice: "General, now we have captured two Marquises of Yuezhi. I think they all have the heart to surrender and survive. I think this can be used."

"It's better to let them recruit the Yuezhi people who surrendered this prisoner of war for our use, and then send the surrendered Yuezhi people out to gather the remnants of the defeated Guishuang and Shuangmi in the name of the two divisions."

"In this way, we can get tens of thousands of Yuezhi cavalry. After subduing these people, the general can help them fight for the name of Yuezhi King and enter Hexi!"
