The army that conquered the north dispersed, and only Li Xin led thousands of people, escorting the prisoners from Yan State and the captured artifacts, and slowly headed westward.
They walked all the way to Xianyang along the main road, with vast plains ahead and thousands of miles of fertile land.
Water conservancy engineers from South Korea built a large canal of more than 300 miles for the Qin State, which irrigated more than 40,000 hectares of fertile land, turning Guanzhong into the most fertile land in the world.
It was the autumn harvest season, and the golden ears of grain were bent over. A gust of wind blew by, and golden waves surged in the fields.
The people of Qin were busy in the fields. When they saw an army passing by on the road, they all raised their heads and looked at each other with expectant looks in their eyes.
"The army is back!"
They were both happy and happy. Firstly, the Qin army's Northern Expedition avenged the assassins, and secondly, their children from the expedition were about to return. Not only were the new soldiers recruited by Fa Yan, but also the children from Guanzhong recruited when Zhao was destroyed.
I haven't seen my family in years.
All the soldiers were also very happy and greeted the fellow Qin people from time to time.
After returning from victory, the discipline was naturally not as strict as when they went out to fight. Military officials at all levels turned a blind eye and allowed them to whisper to each other and express their joy.
"Although these women cannot be touched, Nai Gong has not changed his title now, and he has gained a lot of money from this expedition. When he returns home, he will be able to find a bride. Hehe, I see the daughter of the prison gate in our Moshi
It looks good..."
In the procession, Black Buttocks laughed with all the soldiers.
Most of the people who went on this expedition have received titles. The lucky ones are like Black Bottom. Shejian has been promoted to four ranks, not to mention that they are about to participate in the Xianyang Prisoner Offering and enjoy great honors. When they return to their hometown, they will definitely be
Lift your butt to the sky.
After Heihip finished laughing with everyone, he turned to look at Shejian behind him.
"Chief She, why don't you say anything? You don't want to change your title now. Maybe you can become a doctor when the king's rewards are over. Your mother-in-law must be very happy. She will marry you when she goes back.
She is a bride, and in two years she will have a fat boy. She will be very happy, hehehehe."
Unexpectedly, when Shejian heard this, his expression suddenly turned into ice.
"shut your mouth."
He said coldly, and with that expression, Hei Butt and the soldiers stopped laughing in fear.
"This stinky man has no emotion at all on his face. If Nai Gong talks to him again, he will be like a pig!"
Black Butt turned his head while murmuring.
This scene was seen by Zhao Tuo, who was thoughtful.
Since entering the customs, Shejian's expression has not been right, but now the military affairs are busy and important, it is not the time for a heart-to-heart talk, we can only wait until later.
The Qin army escorted the prisoners. After walking for dozens of miles, a large north-south river appeared in front of them.
The Ba River is surging and rolling, and above the river there is a stone pier and wooden bridge that is a hundred steps long and spans both sides of the Ba River.
The wooden bridge is wide, with towering and exquisite ornate bridges on both sides of the bridge.
After passing Baqiao, you will reach Bashang, which was the place where Liu Bang stationed his troops when he invaded Xianyang in history.
At this moment, there is also a majestic and majestic army stationed above.
They wore armor, held spears and halberds, and had bronze swords at their waists. They were lined up in full gear, and there were strong bows and crossbows not far away.

【Qin General】【】
The flying flag revealed their identity.
Lieutenant Corps.
"It is both martial law and deterrence."
Zhao Tuo knew very well that although their expeditionary force returned with the king's order to sacrifice prisoners and to show Qin's power, it would also bring hidden risks, so the lieutenant army responsible for guarding the capital had already made various preparations.
,in case.
"General Zhao Bai, the general asked you to go.
"
Su Jiao, the leader of five hundred, came riding his horse with a kind voice.
"promise."
Zhao Tuo answered with his hand raised, and looked at each other with Su Jiao. Both of them smiled. Their relationship was no longer what it used to be.
After handing over the military affairs of the Centurion to Shejian, Zhao Tuo rode his horse to Li Xin, who had already crossed the bridge.
"General."
"Zhao Tuo, please stand beside me and share the honor of presenting a prisoner."
Hearing this, Huan Zhao beside him said in a sour voice: "General, this is not good. When you enter the city to offer prisoners, the general should stand alone in the car. Although Zhao Tuo has meritorious service, he is only a small general...
"
"Don't say anything. The strategy of intercepting King Yan was proposed by this son, and the prince of Yan was also captured by his own hands. I am very clear about Zhao Tuo's contribution, and he is qualified to share this honor with me."
Li Xin glared at Huan Zhao, reached out and patted Zhao Tuo on the shoulder, his eyes full of smiles, and his affection was beyond words.
This scene made all the generals extremely envious, and they wished they could take their own lives instead.
This time when we entered the city to offer prisoners, the one at the front of the team was naturally the general's car.
As the greatest contributor to the destruction of Zhao Poyan, Wang Jian should enjoy the most prestigious honor.
After Wang Jian is Li Xin's chariot.
He will stand on the car and accept the cheers of tens of thousands of people in Xianyang City.
With the feat of capturing Yan Dan in a surprise attack hundreds of miles away, Li Xin will become a new hero in the eyes of the men of Qin.
What an honor. Zhao Tuo, who was standing beside him, was naturally attracted by people's attention and enjoyed all kinds of admiring glances along with Li Xin.
Zhao Tuo was moved in his heart. Although Li Xin had many problems, he really had nothing to say to him.
"only."
He bowed deeply, got on the car, stood on the right side of the car holding a halberd, and followed Li Xin.
The soldiers of the Qin army in the rear escorted the prisoners slowly across the bridge.
At this moment, one of the captured Yan Palace women suddenly burst into tears.
"Be born as a Yan person and die as a Yan ghost. I would rather die than enter the Qin palace!"
She cried out and jumped into the water under the bridge while the guarding soldiers were unprepared.
The river was surging and was flooded in an instant.
The soldiers screamed in surprise, and several crossbow arrows were shot out, causing a cloud of blood to float on the river.
Seeing this scene, the prisoners all started crying and howling again. Some of them tried to follow suit, but were knocked to the ground on the spot.
Behind him, Yan Dan, who was tied to the chariot, looked up to the sky and was speechless. His dry eyes could no longer shed tears, and his mouth was blocked and he could not speak any words.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When this happened, the Qin army's guards became stricter and drove the prisoners in the rear to cross the bridge carefully.
After traveling for more than a thousand miles, these people's shoes had long been worn out and their feet were covered with thick blood scabs. They staggered step by step and were driven to the outskirts of Xianyang like livestock.
"Kang's lament is not just for men."
Zhao Tuo looked at the woman falling into the river and shook his head slightly.
"If Yan had united with Zhao back then, instead of attacking from behind. If the six countries had united sincerely, how could they have ended up in this situation."

【Qin General】【】
This small episode did not affect the excitement inside and outside Xianyang at this moment.
Tens of thousands of people gathered on the outskirts of Xianyang. They cheered and watched the prisoners from Yan and the artifacts captured from the rear.

Among these people were farmers from nearby Shiwu, as well as residents running out of the city who wanted to take a sneak peek.
They were extremely excited, shouting and shouting, pointing at the officials of the Yan Kingdom, the nobles of the clan, and the women from the Yan Palace.
Of course, most people pointed to the man tied to the chariot.
"He is the Crown Prince of Yan, bah!"
"You dare to send assassins to assassinate my king, you should be killed!"
"If the chariot breaks him, anyone who offends my great king will be broken!"
Among the strings of angry curses, there were also various excited praises.
"Awesome, General Wang!"
"How brave, General Li!"
"General Li is truly the pillar of our Qin Kingdom!"
"The young man beside General Li is so handsome!"
"They are all heroes of our Qin country. If Nai Gong has a daughter, he must marry such a young man."
The praises are endless.
When the Qin army marched into Xianyang City with the captives of Yan State, the tens of thousands of people lined the streets to welcome them shouted loudly, and the boys jumped up excitedly, looking at the hero they respected most.
"When we join the army, we should be like General Li!"
There is a golden sound in the city.
Under the personal auspices of Feng Chang, one of the Nine Qings, many music officials began to ring bells and fou according to the music score.
On the road leading to Xianyang Palace, Qin soldiers wearing armor and holding swords surrounded both sides. Accompanied by the majestic golden sound, they struck the shield with their swords and stamped their feet on the ground, singing majestic hymns.
"Obviously, he is below, but Hehe is above. The king ordered his generals to conquer the Yan Fang. The king fought vigorously and violently, as if shocked and angry. He laid out the northern city and still held the ugly prisoners. He intercepted the place where the king's troops were."
"The king's journey is like flying like a Han, like a river like a Han, like a mountain bag. Unexpected and unstoppable, Zhuo conquered the Yan Kingdom. The king still allowed the blockade, and the Yan Fang came. The northern captives were destroyed, and it was the emperor's merit."
The sound of the war song is like thunder, exciting and exciting.
Under the mighty singing, the Yan captives shivered and turned pale. The louder the Qin people's voices became, the more limp their bodies became.
The soldiers of the Qin army straightened their spines, shouted along with the mountains, strode forward, and enjoyed the glory that belonged to them.
On the chariot, Li Xin's face was red and trembling with excitement.
Zhao Tuo stood aside, feeling the admiring gazes of countless people.
Either male or female, old or young.
At this moment, Zhao Tuo also became a hero in the eyes of the Qin people.
