Chapter 63 Sweeping the Western Regions (1)

Yumen Pass, who doesn’t know as long as it is Chinese?

The famous Tang poem "Why should I blame the willows for the spring breeze? The spring breeze does not cross the Yumen Pass" is popular and has been read by Chinese people.

When I heard the words "Yumen Pass", I couldn't be shocked by Qin Yiren.

"Oh my god, in the Warring States Period, not only are there many great people walking around the ground, but there are also many famous places. Last time, the Western Expedition turned Jinquan into Jiuquan, and this time it created a 'Yumen Pass'. Fortunately, my young master is very careful, so there is no need to be afraid of heart disease." Qin Yiren couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

I don’t know how many great people, gods and people I met in the Warring States Period. Not to mention this, even the place names are famous and can scare people. It is impossible to let Qin Yiren not sigh.

In fact, the name of "Yumen Pass" is because Yumen Pass is located in a small square plate, connecting the Western Regions and the Hexi Corridor. A large amount of Western Regions jade is transported from here to the mainland, so Yumen Pass is named.

"Li Si, if you make sense, just call Yumen Pass." Qin Yiren saw the look of everyone looking at him, and knew that he needed to make a decision. He hurriedly said, "This name is good! Not bad!"

It's very good and tests people's care.

Qin Yiren pulled Majiang and turned around, faced the Qin army, ready to give a speech.

The soldiers of the Qin army knew that Qin Yiren was going to speak out, and they all raised their heads and chests, with joy on their faces. Qin Yiren led them to win one after another, which made the soldiers particularly love Qin Yiren and especially listen to him.

"Brothers: This place is called Xiaofangpan, which is the intersection of the Western Regions and the Hexi Corridor. After passing here, heading west, it is the Western Regions." Qin Yiren did not disappoint them and began to speak, saying, "The Western Regions are not unfamiliar to you, because we arrived here early last winter and saw the precious goods of the Western Regions..."

At the beginning of last winter, the Qin army first came to Xiaofangpan. Qin Yiren bought a large number of rare goods from the Western Regions, such as pomegranates, raisins, alfalfa, etc., to reward the army. Only then did the soldiers realize the precious goods of the Western Regions. After hearing this, they all looked happy and yearning. It would be great if they could eat a large number of pomegranates and grapes.

After all, although Qin Yiren bought in large quantities, he could not meet the needs of the soldiers. The number of merchants and the goods they brought were limited, so they could only let the soldiers taste it.

This taste is amazing. The soldiers have never eaten such delicious fruits, and they can't miss them.

At present, the Qin army is finally going to march towards the Western Regions, which means that they can taste these strange fruits again, and they will not be able to be excited.

"...The Western Regions are a beautiful place, but they do not know the etiquette of Chinese and do not respect China. Today, I will lead you to the Western Regions, trampling this beautiful land under my feet, conquering the barbarians of the Western Regions, and asking them to respect China!" Qin Yiren's words did not have any false words such as kingly destiny, but they were utilitarian words that could arouse the passion of the soldiers.

"Conquer the Western Regions!" The soldiers burst into shocking roars.

The roar rang straight through the sky, shaking the ground trembled.

Qin Yiren turned his horse's head, slapped the horse's back, raised his right hand suddenly, waved it down in a grand manner, and drove out first.

"Rumor!" The sound of hooves like thunder suddenly rang out, and the Qin army followed Qin Yiren and entered the Western Regions, and began the journey of conquering the Western Regions.

Shao Yun rode a horse to Qin Yiren. He was the guide invited by Qin Yiren. Among the many business trips that Qin Yiren had come into contact with, Qin Yiren recognized Shao Yun the most. He entered the Western Regions many times, not only was he very familiar with the Western Regions, but he was even more careful and knew the customs and customs of the Western Regions. He could remember how big a country is and how many people he spoke. What's more rare is that he also knew the love of a country's king.

It can be said that Shao Yun is a "Encyclopedia of the Western Regions", and Qin Yiren decided to ask Shao Yun as his guide.

Shao Yun was overjoyed about this matter and agreed without saying a word. For Shao Yun, a businessman engaged in Western Regions trade, he knew the importance of the Qin army's Western Expedition. Once the Qin army succeeded in the Western Expedition, it would provide supreme convenience for Western Regions trade.

"Young Master, it's not too hard to enter the Western Regions here. It's not too hard to do it in a few days." Shao Yun explained to Qin Yiren while galloping, saying, "If you are lost, you just need to walk along the corpse and you will definitely find an oasis."

The Silk Road is made of corpses, and there will be no missing people, horses, camels, and along the way. This is not only a clear proof of the hardships of business, but also a signpost that points out the direction.

As Shao Yunzhi said, in the first three or five days, the Qin army was relaxed and had no difficulties. Once they went deeper, there were troubles. They were sparsely populated, and sometimes there were no people for hundreds of miles, only the bones on the side of the road were seen.

However, the good news is that there are many oasis, so there is no need to worry about not having a place to camp.

If it were in later generations, these oasis would have ceased to exist and had already turned into vast yellow sand.

On the seventh day, I met Xiaowan Kingdom on an oasis. Xiaowan Kingdom has a large number of people, only three or four thousand people. They have a small city. In the eyes of Qin Yiren, this city is not worthy of being called a city, because this so-called city is made of stones, without any rules, and no technical content. Whether it can block wild animals is a problem, let alone an army.

When Qin Yiren and the others appeared, Xiaowanguo was panicked and at a loss.

Qin Yiren sent someone to tell the king of Xiaowan that they were a large army from the Central Plains, and as long as Xiaowan surrendered, they would be protected by Qin.

When the king of Xiaowan heard that this was an army from the Central Plains, he immediately surrendered without saying a word.

The reason why he was so happy was because he had heard that the Central Plains were very large, and the Central Plains was a rich paradise. The number of people in the Central Plains was too numerous than that of his country. In the past, he still didn't believe it, but this time he believed it because he saw with his own eyes that the army was much more than the total population of his country, and he dared not believe it.

In this way, Qin Yiren and his team drove westward, almost without any bloodshed, and destroyed nearly ten countries.

There was no resistance in these ten countries. It was not that they didn't want to, but that they didn't dare. These ten countries were very small. The total population of large countries was only three or two thousand people, and the small ones were only hundreds. They did not have the confidence to fight with the Qin army of 50,000 generals. As long as they fought, they would be beaten to the point of being left.

At the thirteenth day, resistance finally took place, but the result was a joke.

On an oasis, there is a small "city". This city is so small that it makes people speechless. How small is it? However, a village in the Central Plains is so big that no one will pay attention to it. In the Western Regions, this is not only a city, but also the "capital" of the last country.

Qiemo is a small country in the Western Regions, with a total population of only more than 600, so it lives in three villages near the capital.

The entire country has only more than one hundred and thirty troops.

The king was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a thin figure, and this man was insatiable.

That day, he was drinking, and his subordinates reported to him: "Report to the king, there are good things, there are good things."

"Oh. What kind of beautiful things?" As soon as I heard the word "beautiful things", the king's eyes lit up, and there were wonderful little stars in his eyes.

"The people in the Central Plains are here. The people in the Central Plains are here." The subordinate hurriedly reported.

"The people of the Central Plains? It's great. The people of the Central Plains are so rich, much richer than our country. Let's take the army and we will now wipe out the people of the Central Plains and steal their wealth." King Qiemo laughed and said, "As long as we get these wealth, we don't have to worry about food and clothing."

At that time, although the Central Plains had not yet conquered the Western Regions, because of the Shang Dynasty, the countries in the Western Regions knew that there was a Central Plains, and the Central Plains were very rich, which was the paradise they dreamed of.

I heard that the people of the Central Plains are coming, can the king of the Mo be unhappy? This means wealth.

"King, no one can do it, no one can do it." His subordinates hurriedly stopped him and said, "The people of the Central Plains came this time, but the army. I heard that there were a lot of people, and the smoke and dust splashed from horse hooves covered the sky and the sun..."

"Shut up!" Before his subordinate finished his words, he interrupted King Qiemo rudely and said, "How many people can there be? How many troops can there be? Don't you look at it. We Qiemo is a big country, and there are only more than one hundred and thirty armies. Do they have more troops than us?"

Yelang is arrogant!

At that time, although the countries in the Western Regions knew that the Central Plains were large, they each had their own explanations, because the countries in the Western Regions had completely different definitions of the size of the countries. For the major countries in the Western Regions, the big seems to be as big as these big countries; for the small countries in the Western Regions, the big is as big as these small countries.

The reason for this is that they do not understand the Central Plains, their vision is limited, and their understanding of the big ones is limited.

"King, we can change some goods without provoking the people of the Central Plains." The reason why our subordinates were happy was because the people of the Central Plains came, they could do some trade and exchange for some essential goods for life.

"Send an order to assemble my army and must snatch all the people in the Central Plains and kill them all." The King of Qimo waved his right hand, and made a very grand order.

Seeing that the king was so determined, his subordinates could not stop him, so they had to give up.

Once the order was passed, the army of the Mo Kingdom was concentrated together, and there were only one hundred and thirty-six people in total. It was really dazzling to see these 136 people gathered together.

These people are of different heights and stand together, uneven and quite funny.

More importantly, these people did not stand or sit, some stood, some stood, some sat, and there was no formation at all, even if they were chaotic, the Huns and Qiang.

As for weapons, it makes people even more angry. They don’t have a real weapon in their hands. Iron Soldier? Dream!

There are three or five remaining bronze soldiers, some of which are broken in the center, some have only the head of the knife, some have only the handle and a small blade. As for the complete weapon, it has not been built yet.

More people use wooden sticks, some people use stones, and several people don’t even have wooden sticks or stones, only clenching their fists.

Armor? That's too extravagant, because they are all wearing nothing, with their breasts exposed, and they don't even wear clothes. You still expect them to have armor, but you can think of it.

The only things they can wear are animal skins and tree barks that are used to cover their shame.

The only secondary leather armor for the entire army was the leather armor on the King of Qiemo. Moreover, this leather armor was still ragged. If it were in the Central Plains, I would have no idea where to throw it away.

The only relatively complete weapon is the scimitar in the hand of the King Qiemo. This is a bronze scimitar. Not only is it rust, but the tip of the knife is broken. (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!)
