Chapter Twenty Eight
Shanyu was so depressed that he almost wiped out all his troops in this battle. Even after the reinforcements arrived, it was difficult to compete with the Qin Dynasty. The superior cavalry of his army could not be launched in this ice and snow. This battle foreshadowed his own
We have to return to the depths of the desert, but whether we can get out alive is still a question! Shan Yuqiang cheered up: "Order the troops to attack a place and open a hole. We must break out!"
Meng Tian and Meng Yi launched a powerful offensive again. The Qin army had an absolute advantage and was as powerful as a tiger. The Huns were retreating steadily. Meng Yi quietly opened a hole. Shan Yu was fighting hard and felt that he was going to die today.
Coming from the valley, I suddenly heard my subordinates shouting: "A gap has been opened, a gap has been opened! Run away!" Without Shan Yu's orders, all the Huns soldiers quickly rushed towards the gap. The Huns soldiers trampled on each other, causing countless casualties.
Chanyu had no choice, the situation was out of control, and he rushed out with his men in a hurry. When Chanyu escaped from the mountain pass, less than 50,000 people were left. When Chanyu's army of more than 200,000 escaped, only these were left.
This shows the brutality of this war. When Meng Tian and Meng Yi saw Shan Yu break out, they immediately sent troops to chase them. However, this pursuit was stop-and-go, keeping the Huns soldiers in their encirclement all the time, in order to drive them away.
Arriving at the Xiongnu camp, He Xiaowang's side was already fighting when Meng Tian and the others launched the attack. Li Longxiang's cavalry was unable to launch an offensive in the snow, so He Xiaowang ordered them to change their original plan, and the cavalry regiment kept shooting arrows.
He Xiaowang led his men to kill them. There were not many soldiers left in the Xiongnu camp. How could they withstand He Xiaowang's offensive? He Xiaowang quickly occupied the Xiongnu camp. He Xiaowang ordered the battlefield to be swept immediately.
Everyone hid in the Xiongnu camp, waiting for the arrival of Chanyu. Chanyu ran all the way, and fled in a hurry after being chased by Meng Tian's army. Chanyu finally saw his barracks, and he was very happy now. As long as he entered the barracks, he would
You can hold on, as long as you hold on for one day, you can wait for reinforcements to arrive. Although the losses are heavy, at least the entire army will not be wiped out. The Chanyu made his own little calculation. The Chanyu led the people to rush to the camp. But when he walked in
, something felt wrong. The camp was quiet without any sound. Shan Yu had already guessed that this time he fell into He Xiaowang's plan to surround Wei and rescue Zhao. However, the last time was He Xiaowang's helpless move. This time
However, with the cooperation of powerful troops, he surrounded and annihilated his old nest. Shanyu turned his horse and returned, but it was too late. He Xiaowang had already appeared in front of him, and Meng Tian had also turned the Xiongnu camp into a watertight place. This time
Captured Shanyu alive.
Chanyu looked up to the sky and sighed: "Lost!" He Xiaowang said: "Chanyu! You have no way to retreat, what should you do? I say you should surrender, so as not to hurt innocent people! Your war has killed hundreds of thousands of Huns.
The people have died here, and the people of our Qin Dynasty are also covered with bones. Don’t you wake up?!” Shan Yu laughed loudly: “Are you that He Xiaowang? Huh! I tell you, your court has already cooperated with me.
I have passed the letter. If it weren’t for your fate, I’m afraid it’s not certain who will be surrounded this time!” He Xiaowang: “Don’t you wake up yet!? There is someone in the court who is a spy. I already know this. You should surrender.
Well, I won’t kill you.” Shanyu’s eyes widened: “You won’t kill me? Haha, how is that possible? I, Shanyu, have led hundreds of thousands of cavalry in the Hexi Corridor and have been confronting the Qin Dynasty for ten years.
How much manpower and material resources have you Qin Chao sacrificed, and you actually let me go?" He Xiaowang: "My position in the Qin Dynasty determines that I, He Xiaowang, will not say boring words. You should know this. I said let me go.
You, I will let you go. But you must surrender to our Great Qin Dynasty! And you will never rebel against Qin. If you cannot do this, I will bury you here! Bury your bones here!" Shanyu: "
Is my dignified Chanyu afraid of death? I would rather die than surrender! Otherwise, where is the majesty of our people!? Surrendering to the Qin Dynasty means that we will live in the barren desert!" He Xiaowang: "You don't want to
Die! If you want to die, why are you talking so much nonsense? I don't want to kill you! Otherwise, would I still be talking to you here so much?" The snowflakes in the sky suddenly became denser, and goose-feather-like snowflakes were floating on them. He Xiao
Wang was like a stone sculpture, motionless. Shanyu stared for a moment and looked at the dead and wounded soldiers behind him. They were all cold and hungry! No longer insisting, he turned over with difficulty and got off his horse and knelt on the ground! Xiang He Xiaowang
He made a big salute. He Xiaowang understood that at this moment, the Chanyu would withdraw from the Hexi Corridor forever. He had won! He Xiaowang also got off his horse and stepped forward to help Shanyu up: "Our two countries will always have good relations, but the Xiongnu must
We must submit credentials to our court and declare to the world that we surrender to the Qin Dynasty. The Chanyu must ensure the stability of the tribes in the northwest region and must not bully smaller tribes." Chanyu: "We are defeated today and have nothing to say.
.We will agree to these conditions you have proposed. I, Shanyu, have made all the tribes surrender to me, so I have this ambition to attack the Celestial Kingdom. I really overestimate my capabilities, and I just want to let us go back quickly." He Xiaowang: "Okay.
! Come here, distribute food to them and prepare wine to entertain Shanyu!" Shanyu was also stunned. The defeated general did not expect to receive such courtesy. This time he was completely convinced.
In the Xiongnu camp, He Xiaowang, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Shan Yu, Li Xian, Li Longxiang, Zhao Guang and other generals were grilling barbecue and drinking shaju. It was snowing again outside. "Brothers Dujinjiebo are here
, smile when we meet and let go of grudges!" He Xiaowang used this poem to summarize the relationship between the Qin Dynasty and the Xiongnu. Shan Yu was also in high spirits today, expressing his surrender to the Qin in the future, going to the desert, and withdrawing from the Hexi Corridor. He Xiaowang has already
He sent someone to deliver the news of the Huns' surrender to Fusu. Fusu was overjoyed! This battle determined the stability of the northwest frontier. After drinking, He Xiaowang personally helped Shan Yu onto his horse and asked all the Huns to return.
Gone home.
Fusu immediately wrote to the First Emperor to plead for credit for He Xiaowang: "He Xiaowang led the armies to quickly defeat the Huns and return us to peace in the Hexi Corridor. He has indeed made an unparalleled contribution. Therefore, I ask the emperor to reward He Xiaowang as appropriate."
, Meng Tian, Meng Yi and other generals." The First Emperor read Fusu's letter and Long Yan was very happy. From then on, there was no war in the northwest. Zhao Gao said from the side: "Your Majesty, He Xiaowang now holds the 300,000 troops of our Qin Dynasty.
, is almost half of our strength. If he wants to make any moves in the northwest, it will be troublesome!" Qin Shihuang: "With the prince sitting there, how could He Xiaowang be disobedient?" Zhao Gao: "Your Majesty.
, Know people, know faces, but don’t know hearts. You think He Xiaowang is rich, and now he has military power and an army of 300,000. If he wants to rebel, who can control him?" The First Emperor pondered, if He Xiaowang really rebels,
The Great Qin Kingdom was doomed, and He Xiaowang's reputation throughout the country was well known. In the year of severe drought, he generously donated money to provide disaster relief, and this time he made the Xiongnu surrender. It can be said that the hearts of the people are with He Xiaowang!
The more Qin Shihuang thought about it, the more something was wrong. As an emperor, he has a suspicion, and he doesn't care whether you have it or not. What he only cares about is whether you can do it. If you can, it means that you can do something that threatens the imperial power at any time.
, you can't just control it in your own hands. Qin Shihuang had already made a plan and said to Zhao Gao: "What do you think should be done about the prince's memorial?" Zhao Gao: "Your Majesty, you should reward him greatly.
In this way, you can first be arrogant and relax your mind, and then send someone to kill him." The First Emperor said, "How outrageous! He Xiaowang is an important minister of the imperial court, and he has always been respectful to me. You, my little slave, talk too much!"
Zhao Gao hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Yes, yes, your Majesty forgives me." The First Emperor said: "Come on, pass on my decree."
He Xiaowang and Meng Yi Meng Tian led the army back to the camp, and Fu Su personally poured wine to welcome them. Fu Su said: "This battle has made the border no longer war-free. Come on, soldiers, thank you for your hard work! We've done it!" "Let's do it!"
! Do it!" He Xiaowang: "The reason why we were able to win this time was entirely because the two generals Meng Tian and Meng Yi held back the main force of the Xiongnu and trapped them in Langtou Mountain, and then annihilated them in one fell swoop." Meng Tian: "Haha,
,,Brother He is humble. Although our main force can contain these, without Zhao Guang, Li Xian, Li Longxiang, they would not be able to surround the Xiongnu. And you also captured the Shanyu alive in the camp. This is a great contribution.
No!" Meng Yi: "Brother He, Shantou itself was commanded by you this time. How can we brothers dare to talk about credit? I really admire you. You use your troops like a god. Everything seems to be planned.
Yu's nose is gone, he uses his soldiers like a god, he uses his soldiers like a god! Come on, do it!" Fusu said: "Generals, don't worry, I have already written to the emperor, requesting him to reward all generals, He Xiaowang is the first one!"
Everyone laughed. When He Xiaowang heard Fusu say that he had asked the emperor for a reward, and that his was the first, the wine bowl immediately fell to the ground.
Fusu noticed something strange: "What's the matter, Xiaowang, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Meng Tian is an old fox after all. He has been in the officialdom for many years and knows the power of it. He stroked his beard, took a sip of wine and said: "Prince
Forget about his great achievements, once He Xiaowang becomes the attention of the court, he will attract a lot of criticism, and some people with ulterior motives may cause some trouble." He Xiaowang picked up the wine bowl and took a sip: "
