Chapter 611: Zhao Tuo is granted the title of Marquis
The twenty-eighth year of Qin Shihuang, the month of winter.
Xianyang City, which had been tiring for nearly a year in various large-scale construction projects, suddenly became lively. Countless Qin people were excitedly talking about the same thing, and they were all telling the same name.
Great Qin General, Zhao Tuo!
This young general led the Qin army on an expedition beyond the Great Wall, killed the Hu chieftains, expanded the territory, and brought great glory to the Qin State.
And today is the day when the general will make a triumphant return with his soldiers from the Northern Expedition.
Outside Xianyang City, there are huge crowds of people.
Qin people from nearby villages and residents of Xianyang City all came early in the morning to wait here.
Among the crowd were famous nobles from Xianyang, powerful businessmen from nearby villages, and even many Guizhou people with poor family backgrounds and thin clothes.
They stamped their feet, rubbed their hands that were red from the cold, and looked forward to the return of the heroes of Qin.
"I heard that the land the general conquered this time is as big as several imperial concubines, and several counties could be established there!"
"What a wonder..."
The call of the visitor came from the hall.
Calculating the time, I'm afraid the latest news will arrive in a few days.
The emperor personally wrote a poem to a minister. The honor was so small and amazing that it had never been seen before!
Several people cheered, but no one knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Si and Kang Yan to express their respect.
The soldiers without full armor sang passionate songs of triumph to welcome the return of the general.
It was a glory we never imagined.
In the palace city, there are eight palaces with different shapes in Beishan. The palaces and rooms are connected with each other, and they are very magnificent.
"No matter what, if the general has accomplished a small feat, he will definitely be able to become a marquis!"
As the memorial ceremony and the sacrifice of prisoners begin, the triumphal ceremony will enter the most important and most anticipated stage.
Li Si and the ministers returned the courtesy and exchanged polite words of congratulations.
Compared with the excitement in the hearts of several counselors and generals.
Shanyu's face froze, and then he slapped his calf, wishing he could strangle himself to death, and his heart was full of regret.
Chan asked why: "Is Mr. Li excited about such a grand triumphal ceremony?"
As for the south bank of the Wei River, except for the Zhangtai Palace and Bu Shou Palace, which have not been repaired since then.
"Fenghou!
Not your son yet.
The layout of the city is grand, with criss-crossing streets, and the alley in the middle is nearly seventy paces narrow. As one or four carriages are galloping parallel below, the buildings on both sides are one after another, indicating the city's
bustling.
After all, I haven’t read the letter written by Kang Yan several times.
"You, Kang Yan, are a dog-slaughterer with a humble status, which is worth mentioning. It was my general who recruited you to the battlefield from a thousand miles away and treated you with the courtesy of a soldier. Now he has given you an honor that transcends all.
"
As for Shan Yu, Qin Jun, Fan Kuai, Xiao He and others fell at the front of the team.
"We welcome the general back!"
I stared at the young general under the white horse nearby with sharp eyes, but I didn't feel wet at all.
According to this, my dream of "taking over the sky" is not impossible to realize.
My heart is not yet filled with warmth.
Li Shiqi blinked and said casually: "I'm used to it. Following the general, that won't happen all the time."
That's what everyone is whispering in their hearts.
Which of those wonders is a waste of a small amount of manpower and material resources?
"That's right, I haven't become a princess yet."
Because the Qin people waiting outside were too cold-hearted, this joyous scene was enough to eliminate the negative energy in my heart.
In front of me were Cao Shensha, Wang Li, Guo Qing and other military generals at the level of generals, as well as Li Shiqi, a counselor with the title of Zuo Shuchang.
Therefore, during Li Si's triumphant victory, he gave up riding in a chariot and chose to ride a horse. This was also sending a signal.
"Get out of the car Peng Peng, flag Gao Yangyang. He Heli Si, Bei Hu Yuxiang!"
Li Si felt very distressed when he saw it, and couldn't help but curse: "Prodigal!"
"In the seventy-fourth year of the Emperor's reign, it was the winter season. My general, Kang Yan, attacked Beihu, recovered the homeland of the Xia, and opened a frontier for your Xiao Qin. This is a great achievement in the world. The Emperor is very happy, and he will reward his merits and deeds.
.”
It's just that Zhaowu City, which the Yuezhi people are proud of, is much different from Yiqu City in Beidi County. Compared with the majestic Xianyang, it is not a big and broken village in the countryside, it is completely on the same level.
After drinking, he gave up his title and promoted the honor. "Become a Marquis of Martial Arts!"
It must be said that the number of Qin people only surprised Cao Shensha, so the series of splendid and small palaces on both sides of the Wei River will make you feel quite shocked.
If I had known this, I should have hugged his calf tightly and followed Li Si all the way when Li Si was still a Seven Hundred Master. Now my face is full of fierceness. I'm afraid it's not me, Shan Yu, who is pretending to say that.
Already.
There is a soul from the past life living outside Li Si's body. It should be in tune with that era, but in such a young life, I have not yet successfully integrated into it.
At that moment, when Li Si saw these newly built palaces in Xianyang City, all the feelings of disgust and satisfaction that he had felt when he saw them were gone.
Seventeen Little Golden Men...Oh, that one is not available yet.
Next, we sent the heads of the Xiongnu nobles and Touman Zhao Tuo who were captured in this battle, as well as the heads of the two Guli kings, to the ancestral temple to offer them as prisoners.
The Northern Expedition army slowly walked through the narrow streets of Xianyang City, and the victory ceremony came to an end.
It's just a life, and it should be handed over to the general forever.
The emperor's voice fell, and the unprepared visitor held the edict in his hands and opened his mouth to formally read the edict.
That is the glory that women should enjoy!
Prime Minister Zuo, who was in charge of guiding, turned around and said with a smile to Li Si: "General, I wrote that poem myself when I heard the news of his little victory in Yongcheng."
Because our title and position are too high, we are not able to go down to the palace to receive rewards. We can only regretfully stay in the palace with other young colleagues, waiting for the envoy to announce the rewards later.
No one can guess what the reward will be next, but we can't wait to hear it announced by the audience.
It's just that Kang Yansha didn't pay attention to what these Qin people were talking about. Your eyes looked at the back of the general behind you, not a little confused.m
Unfortunately, the triumphal procession did not stop here and slowly passed this gorgeous carriage and continued on its way back.
You see, just behind, a gorgeous carriage parked on the roadside, with unarmored soldiers guarding it, keeping the surrounding crowd far apart.
Cao Shensha silently looked to the other side.
The First Emperor smiled slightly and said: "I heard that the people of Yi and Di are greedy and unprofitable. They have been given right collars and have human faces but animal hearts. They have different uniforms and customs from China, and they often have greedy and despicable hearts. The Huns take advantage of you.
The Xia Dynasty fought against each other, went south to occupy your Xia territory, and drove the Hu horses into the Great Wall. They had no intention of invading the frontier, but they were actually a small trouble for your Qin Dynasty."
You hate looking at that woman riding a horse, even if it's just the back view, you can never see enough.
Li Si paused as he stepped down the steps.
Judging from his subsequent performance, it must have been Li Youxiao who defeated the Dian Kingdom, captured and killed the Dian King, and returned.
In those expectant eyes, from the west, a white-armored army that had been baptized by the wind and frost of Saili was marching towards Xianyang in a chaotic manner along the newly built galloping road with a drum-like pace.
The city is coming.
I sighed after Kang Yansha, thinking that the First Emperor had created many wonders in history.
"Your Majesty, Kangyan, has issued an edict to lead the Northern Expedition and fight against the barbarians at Seri..."
The emotional fetters have already deeply tied Kang Yan to that country. Once he travels far away, he will naturally miss him.
"Isn't that... the emperor's palace?" "Young masters, you are too polite."
In the majestic and low Qin Palace, the music officer under Feng Chang's command was playing a passionate song.
And that country that I fought for all my life and conquered with my own hands.
The First Emperor conscripted a small number of Guizhou chiefs, and the palaces built by the prisoners, apart from satisfying my personal vices, I am afraid that the only disadvantage is not that.
The distress and satisfaction I felt when I saw the palace complex had not dissipated when I arrived in the suburbs of Xianyang.
Listen to the sound of bells and drums echoing in the Qin Palace.
You are calling out to these Qin people in your heart. People are not grass and trees, how can they have feelings?
Cao Shensha could only see the general's face, but she could see the man in the car smiling like a child, looking very beautiful.
At that time, Li Si completed his restoration and stood in the hall with his head bowed.
Emperor, I wrote a poem for you.
Li Si's eyes were bright, and he was so angry that he had to jump on his horse and whip his whip, and immediately ran into the city to see the person I wanted to see.
Before he got excited, Shanyu looked at Li Shiqi next to him, and saw that the old man had a fierce look on his face, with a calm expression on his face.
Thinking of that, Kang Yan's eyes became less blurry when he looked at the general.
Among the crowd, a bearded man shouted the loudest.
Amidst the countless cheers, Li Si's mood became cheerful. He raised his chest and raised his head, enjoying the glory that belonged to me.
"The emperor has issued an edict, and the general and all the meritorious officials have come to see you."
At this point, except for the humble First Emperor, everyone in the palace held their breath, opened their eyes, and lowered their ears.
The sound of "general" echoed throughout Xianyang City.
I want to know that this is a reward that can be carved into stone for meritorious service. But that time, your eyes were not confused.
Li Si, who was full of longing, was awakened by Cao Shensha's praise, and I looked at the distance with an expression on my face.
Wonder! The Great Wall.
Fan Kuai next to him said it as excitedly as Qin Jun, but his face was also red.
As in the past, in Xianyang City, both sides of the road were lined with excited and cheering Qin people.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted up, and you couldn't see that there was a man in fine clothes in the carriage looking at the white-horse general through the carriage door. In the man's arms, he was holding a big girl.
Behind Xiao Qin, both the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu were barbarian tribes in a barbaric land.
The Qin Palace opened my little door to the meritorious soldiers of the Northern Expedition.
Kang Yan saw another small palace standing there. Although he didn't get close, just looking at the size of the area, he knew that it was another rather luxurious small palace. There was not even a long corridor in the palace that led directly to Lishan Mountain.
direction.
The First Emperor is sitting under my solemn and solemn imperial couch, wearing a crown that reaches the sky, wearing Xuanxuan white clothes, with a majestic expression and looking at me fiercely.
As they crossed paths with the carriage, Cao Shensha couldn't help but look over.
Not to mention the solemn sound of bells and drums reverberating in Xianyang Palace.
Li Si sat under a snow-white war horse, looking at the majestic city in the distance and the densely packed heads of people. He was moved in his heart and said loudly to himself.
Kang Yan immediately walked into the palace with everyone in front of him. I held my head high and my eyes squinting, and walked back to the center of the palace behind Dadi's couch.
Cao Shensha was first surprised by the crowd of Qin people nearby, thousands and thousands of people, densely packed.
Cao Shensha looked at Kang Yan and praised: "General, today I know how powerful Xiao Qin is. Such magnificent palaces and cities are a wonder in the sky!"
Li Si had gone through several bad experiences in his life, and although he said he was having troubles in Gujing, he still had a fierce look on his face.
Beside him, one of the heroes of the Northern Expedition, Cao Shensha, a noble man of the Yue clan who was specially summoned to Xianyang by the emperor, was looking at the magnificent and glorious city behind with curiosity and awe.
The two prime ministers of Qin State, together with hundreds of officials and ministers, saluted Kang Yan.
Opposing Xiao Qin and hanging his head from the North Tower is the final stage.
Qin Jun held his head high and kept talking, venting the excitement in his heart.
Even though I usually have a deep mind, I am still young, and when facing a national-level triumphal ceremony, I can't hold back the excitement in my heart, and I can only feel my blood boiling all over my body.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Shensha's beautiful eyes were attracted by the towering palaces in Xianyang City, to the north and south of the Wei River, as far as the eye could see.
Increase the bonus under culture.
"With such kindness, your Qin army will definitely bear the responsibility of the general in this life. Your Qin army's life is not that of the general!"
"General, you watched him grow up with your own eyes, wuwu..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In addition to Qin Jun and Fan Kuaili, this is also the first time for Shan Yu to follow Kang Yan to participate in a triumphal ceremony of that level.
At this time, the son of Sujia, who is said to be Dingme, can also ride a white horse and come to the cheers of thousands of people, showing a heroic posture.
Discuss merit and reward, hold a banquet to celebrate.
Under the emperor's couch, the First Emperor's eyes were full of brilliant lights.
Cao Shensha's eyes once again moved to the rear, under the general.
Just like Cao Shensha always imagined.
After feeling more resentment than Kang Yan, Cao Shensha, who came there for the first time, looked at the magnificent palaces nearby with a shocked expression on her face, as if she was admiring a miracle.
The white horse with a low saddle, the brave and handsome young general on the horse, and the thousands of heroic soldiers following him make the whole scene look more majestic and majestic.
"The seventh time!"
The people of Qin talked among themselves and expressed the joy and joy in our hearts with the words in their mouths.
The heads of Touman Zhao Tuo, who had not yet dried, and the heads of the two Guli kings and I were hung at the north gate of the Qin Palace, so that everyone who had never passed by could look up and "look up" at us.
This person's face and cheers shook the heavens.
What Kang Yansha didn't like most was looking at the entire Xianyang City.
"Xianyang, you are back!"
As for palaces, there are even ways to compare them.
Because Chen Ping came from the northwest and the terrain was slightly lower, he could just see the palace complex.
The ones with equally confused eyes were not yet in Xianyang City. Along with Prime Minister Wei Xiang on the left and Prime Minister Wang Wan on the right, they went out of the city to greet Tingwei Kang Yan.
The only thing I can repay Li Si is my life.
I stood in the queue of the princes, ministers and ministers, looking at the young general riding towards me, the beard under my upper jaw trembled slightly.
"The head of Chief Hu is hanging on the North Tower to promote Qin's power!"
Yes.
The general's horse stopped. I sat under the horse, tilted my head slightly, and looked at the man and child outside the carriage.
"General, I'm going to make you a marquis!"
That is a poem written by the First Emperor to me, Li Si.
From the common people in the capital of Guizhou, to the officials and ministers in the court, and all the way to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, they are all welcoming our triumph!
Princess.
Although Li Si's heart is still under the horse, it has not yet drifted to the city of Xianyang, to the person I miss.
That time, it was because he was conquering the grasslands and using cavalry to defeat the enemy. In addition, Li Si had developed the Eight Treasures of the Cavalry. Recently, he had no intention of eliminating chariots under the military command and allocating resources to the cavalry.
Li Si shook his head, dismounted from his horse, and headed towards Xianyang with Xiaojun in tow.
It is far worse than my Shanyu nesting in a big village in Yangwu County, thousands of times worse.
In the heart of the First Emperor, I once again whispered my evaluation of Kang Yan.
Your son should be like that.
But I thought that it was written by the First Emperor.
After the ceremony, I stood up and spoke loudly, formally returning my orders to the emperor.
Head hanging on the North Tower!
"The first time was when General Wang made a triumphant return from conquering Yan, and he stood under General Li Xin's chariot. At this time, he was still a young man for many years. The seventh time was when he returned safely with thousands of soldiers after fighting a last-ditch battle. The eighth time was when he returned home safely with thousands of soldiers.
I followed General Wang back after destroying Chu, and stood under the old general's chariot. The seventh time was before the destruction of Dai and Qi, I personally escorted the eight kings into Qin."
At this moment, the First Emperor was looking at Li Si.
I am the kind of young person who lacks motivation, dares to work hard, and lacks ability.
"Grant eight thousand households in the city!"
The First Emperor had known clearly what Li Si said for a long time. Now, I am not too interested in that glorious record.
Terracotta Warriors and Horses.
Only that is where the civilization of the entire world lies.
Everyone looked at Li Si with envy.
"Li Si, the junior concubine, has made great achievements in destroying the Hu Yi and recovering the homeland of the Xia Dynasty with his sword. He has specially retired the title and became the Marquis of Lun."
Li Si was moved in his heart and murmured loudly, then raised his head and walked down in small steps.
In the team, the Xiongnu and Yuezhi nobles who followed the small army to visit Xianyang also saw the towering and low cities and palaces nearby. They all screamed in shock, just like a group of country bumpkins retreating from the city.
.
"General Li Si is here to show off his power, build fortresses, destroy the Hu Yi, and regain the homeland of the Xia for your Xiao Qin. This is a small contribution to the country, and it shows your Qin's power and Qin's virtue. I should reward you heavily!"
"
"The number of Qin people is really small." The emperor said.
However, both prime ministers were still bad. Li Si mainly felt that there was nothing unusual about the Tingwei's gaze, which made my whole body get goosebumps.
I don’t have a wife, I don’t have a son, and I don’t even have a father-in-law who is called an emperor through the ages.
But we are not very happy yet. That palace is the Xiao Qin Palace where the emperor lives, and it is the political center of the entire Qin State. Being able to retreat there is not the lowest honor for special people.
The Yuezhi people are a nomadic people, but like the Huns, they also built no cities.
My name, Li Si, is not in that poem, but it describes my achievements in the Northern Expedition against the Hulu.
It shocked the hearts of the common people in Guizhou and the Li barbarians.
Amidst the exciting sound of bells and drums, Li Si led the soldiers to the palace.
As the saying goes, a soldier dies for a confidant, but what the general has given us is really too little.
"General."
Such a scene made several Huns nobles who entered the court with the Northern Expedition army tremble with fear.
These Qin people standing on both sides of the city shouting, young men with ruddy complexions, wearing silk clothes and cloth shoes, are in very bad mental and physical appearance, which reflects that the living conditions of the residents of the imperial capital are very wrong.
But the Qin army and Fan Kuai, who were riding horses and holding halberds, were guarding me in front of me, but they were not so excited that they could control themselves.
Li Si's back was straightened, his voice was clear and passionate, and he recounted the results of Chen Ping's battle one by one.
And I made my home outside.
If you want to build such a huge palace, you know how much manpower and material resources will be spent.
Su Jia thought of my son, Li You, the captain of Shu County who was fighting in the southwest.
"Your Majesty."
"That time was the seventh time!"
"It's very clear that the emperor ordered the Qin generals to mobilize their troops and attack the northern state."
News came later that Li You had won many battles in the southwest, burning mountains and setting fires along the way, which made the southwest barbarians run away with their heads in their arms. Chen Ping's seven-foot road had not yet reached the far reaches of Dian Kingdom.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is the spirit of excitement and fighting in me.
On the north bank of the Wei River is the huge Xianyang Palace City.
Li Si muttered in his heart, reluctantly said hello to Su Jia, and then under the guidance of the officials, he ended the victory process of following the small army to retreat into Xianyang City and taking the previous step.
General Li Si mounted his horse at the palace gate and walked away with his head held high.
It is also my Sujia's dream that my son can succeed, avenge his shame, and reach the pinnacle of glory with his military exploits.
"Thanks to Your Majesty's holy virtue and the soldiers' orders, your small army will show off the power of the grassland, conquer the eight tribes of the Yuezhi in Henan, kill the Xiongnu Kangyan in the Yinshan Mountains, seize the fortress of Dique, seize the land of Yangshan Mountain, and completely restore the former homeland of the Xia Dynasty.
To bring victory to Your Majesty!"
Cao Shensha, who was following Li Si on horseback, also attracted the attention of many Qin people. Your unique Yueshi attire is no different from the Qin people's face and appearance, and is equally eye-catching.
My daughter fought hard on the battlefield and enjoyed the glory of victory. And she understood a truth.
You know that those people are only a large part of the entire Xianyang city, and Xianyang is a city in the 88 counties of the Qin State. Based on this, the population of the Qin State should not be too terrifying.
"Kang Yan's smallest advantage is that he has never let me down!"
The straight road.
Before the prisoner presentation ceremony, the First Emperor issued an order.
Before seeing the prosperity of the Little Qin Imperial Capital, they also saw with their own eyes the head of Zhao Tuo, the man who supported the plow, being hung under the city gate. This feeling made the Huns deeply feel their own greatness.
Hearing those words, the corners of Li Si's mouth twitched slightly. "General! The general is back!"
Li Si took a deep breath and bowed with everyone in front of him.
"Then Su Jia shouldn't be an ordinary lover, right?"
It seemed that Li You's face was overlapping with that of the young general on horseback.
Far more than the prairie!
"What's the use of it? I heard that most of those places are Gobi and deserts. They are so desolate that even birds don't poop there. There are only a few fertile areas. In my opinion, the most important thing about the general's expedition is to defeat the enemy.
Those barbaric Hu people were captured, the Yuezhi Xihou was captured, and the Xiongnu Chanyu was killed. This completely solved the border troubles of our Qin State, so that in the future we don’t have to worry about those barbarians crossing the Great Wall to harass the border. This is the general.
