April 21, the first year of the Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Longxi County.
An urgent military message from Jiuyuan suddenly made the originally calm Longxi begin to boil...
The Xiongnu barbarian army of 200,000 went south, causing chaos in the counties in Longxi that had not been in war for several years. Fortunately, when Li Xin returned to Xianyang, he shogunate
All the officials there stayed.
The shogunate in our land of China is different from the shogunate in Japan. Of course, it can even be said that the small shogunate in Japan was directly moved from our land of China through the "borrowing" policy.
The shogunate gradually began to exist when the bureaucracy of the Warring States Period was established. The so-called shogunate in the pre-Qin period mainly refers to a series of military and civilian officials who follow the general when he goes on an expedition, which is equivalent to the current combat staff.
Later, after changes, the shogunate gradually developed. Not only military generals had a shogunate, but also civilian officials gradually established a shogunate.
Before the Ming Dynasty, the officials in the shogunate were all officials within the national system. However, the officials in the shogunate were freely appointed by the chief and then registered in the imperial court;
However, the Ming Dynasty unified the appointment power of all officials to the central government. All officials would be appointed and delegated by the court, while foreign ministers did not have the right to appoint. Then the staff developed, but the staff were already private individuals outside the system.
Staff members.
In the Qing Dynasty, the so-called masters were also typical aides, a product of the shogunate in disguise.
With the help of the shogunate personnel left by Li Xin, after the initial chaos, Longxi County began to help residents of various counties evacuate into Longxi County to govern Didao (today's Lintao County, Gansu) in an orderly manner.
The reason for this is that there are seven counties in Longxi County. Except for the county of Didao, the other six counties are all with low walls and broken walls. If the Xiongnu army goes south, these small towns will not be able to resist it.
In addition, Longxi is originally a borderland with a vast territory and sparsely populated areas. Except for a few native-born people, the people living in the counties are all merchants from various places in Guanzhong. These merchants are mainly related to the Qiang, Yuezhi and other people outside Longxi.
The family conducts transactions.
Therefore, after Weng Zhong discussed with the shogunate officials, although he was not sure whether the Xiongnu would go south to Longxi or directly into Jiuyuan, just in case, he simply followed the previous response method and moved all the people from all counties to Didao City.
in order to reduce losses.
This Weng Zhong is not the Weng Zhong who was so powerful in all barbarians during the time of the First Emperor.
Weng Zhong during the time of the First Emperor was the father of Weng Zhong who is now in Didao City. The old Weng Zhong was three feet tall and extremely powerful. In the 22nd year of the First Emperor, Li Xin led 200,000 people from Longxi County southward to destroy Chu and was defeated. At that time, the Qiang and Yue Allied Forces had 100,000 people.
Yu Qi took advantage of the emptiness in Longxi to march eastward.
At that time, there were only more than 10,000 cavalry in Didao City. The old man Zhong was only 25 years old. He led 3,000 cavalry to defeat the 100,000 Qiang Yue Allied Forces and was named General Lintao by the First Emperor. In the 32nd year of the First Emperor, he toured Jiuyuan.
On the Longxi Great Wall, a tiger was in danger. Weng Zhong tore the tiger alive in front of the First Emperor with his bare hands and saved the First Emperor.
The first emperor, Longyan, was delighted and granted the title of Shangqing to the old man Zhong.
In the thirty-fourth year of the First Emperor, old Weng Zhong died of a sudden illness. The First Emperor ordered a bronze statue of Weng Zhong to be erected in the Xianyang Palace Square. Later, he heard that Weng Zhong’s son was also taller than 10 feet tall and had the style of Old Weng Zhong, so he gave Weng Zhong’s son the title of Shangqing, Lintao
General.
In order to continue to frighten the Qiang Yue and other tribes west of Longxi, Xiao Wengzhong took the name of Old Wengzhong and guarded Longxi. By the first year of the second generation, Xiao Wengzhong was only twenty years old.
After the Longxi Army was defeated by Li Xin in destroying Chu, there were only more than 100,000 infantry and cavalry soldiers left. They had to guard the two counties of Longxi and Shangdi at the same time, so now there are only 50,000 soldiers in Didao in Longxi County.
After receiving urgent military information from General Xin Sheng of Jiuyuan on the 17th, Longxi Army's scouts and reconnaissance cavalry went out in all directions and began to head west and north to continuously explore the enemy's situation.
On this day, Weng Zhong and the governor of Longxi were on the city wall directing the last group of people from Pohan County, the far west of Longxi, to enter the city. A dozen reconnaissance cavalry, raising a cloud of dust, burst in from the east gate.
Soon the soldiers came up with the chief scout who had just entered the city covered in dust.
"Reporting to you two adults, we found a large group of cavalry fifty miles west of the county city heading towards the county city." The scout chief said with his fists clasped.
Weng Zhong and the Longxi governor looked at each other, but they didn't expect that they were really coming to Longxi. But why did the Huns choose the distance instead of the near? They couldn't figure it out. They didn't expect that the Huns who came here were not the Huns cavalry at all.
The Xiongnu, Yuezhi and Qiang people are the three largest foreign ethnic groups in the northwest frontier of the Qin Dynasty. The scouts observed these people on horseback from a distance and couldn't tell much difference, so they didn't find out that the people here were not Huns.
"The Xiongnu barbarians are still fifty miles away. Lord Governor, please let the people enter the city quickly. I will personally lead the troops to meet with the Xiongnu barbarians." Xiao Wengzhong said with a murderous light in his eyes.
"General Weng, the Xiongnu barbarians have 200,000 horsemen. We still hold on to the county and city. With the high walls of the county and city, and the strength of our Qin weapons, we will surely make the Huns and barbarians return with bloodshed."
When the county guard heard that little Wengzhong was about to go out and fight the Xiongnu head-on, he quickly tried to persuade him. The county guard, who was not short in height, looked like a child in front of little Wengzhong, who was over ten feet tall and as big and round as an iron tower.
"Lord Sheriff, my father defeated more than 100,000 Qiang Yue soldiers with three thousand fine cavalry in the past. Thanks to His Majesty's grace, I was able to inherit my father's throne. This time, I will show the military might of Great Qin again. Let these barbarians live forever.
Afraid of our powerful Qin soldiers." After saying this, Xiao Wengzhong turned and walked down to the city.
The county guard stretched out his hand and opened his mouth, but finally put his hand down in despair and said no more words.
…
The county guard and Xiao Wengzhong did not know that it was his father's defeated Yueshi army who came here.
Since the Yuezhi's over 100,000 Qiang and Yue allied forces were defeated by Old Weng Zhong more than ten years ago, Old Weng Zhong has been regarded as a god-like figure by the Qiang and Yue clans. He has not dared to attack the Qin Dynasty in the east for more than ten years.
There were often conflicts and fights with the Xiongnu.
Xu Buye rushed to the Yue clan on the 17th with Mao Dun's command arrow, and told the Yue clan leader Mao Dun's words intact.
Long before Xu Bu Ye came, when the Xiongnu were just preparing to go south, Mao Dun had already sent people to contact the Yueshi. At this moment, Xu Bu Ye, who was the commander of ten thousand cavalry in Mao Dun's bodyguard, personally took Mao Dun's order to the arrow.
To deliver the message, the leader of the Yuezhi clan immediately summoned most of the clan's troops and headed straight for Longxi without hesitation.
The reason why the Yuezhi agreed to Mao Dun's march eastward to Longxi was not only because of the huge profit Mao Dun Xu selected, but more importantly, when he sent a letter earlier, Mao Dun used an oath from the gods to tell the Yue clan leader Weng Zhong that Weng Zhong was dead.
This made the leader of the Yuezhi finally make up his mind to cooperate with the Xiongnu in sending troops to the east.
In the wilderness fifty miles away from Didao, the sound of hoofbeats was like thunder, the earth trembled, and the sky was filled with loess. Countless Yuezhi cavalry roared and rolled over the loess plateau.
The Yuezhi clan has five clans: Xiumi, Shuangmi, Kushan, Pangdun, and Dumi. This time, the Yuezhi sent out two-thirds of the soldiers of the five clans, with a total of more than 100,000 riders, heading straight to Longxi.
The county governs Didao.
Among these five tribes, the Kushan Tribe was the Yuezhi tribe who later established the Kushan Empire in the Caspian Sea, Afghanistan and the Indus River Basin. The Yuezhi tribe leader at this time was Na Xiuxie, the head of the Xiumi tribe.
The evil cultivator was heavily guarded by thousands of personal guards and stationed on a hillside. Looking at the countless Yuezhi cavalry galloping in the wild, he smiled energetically and asked Xu Bu not far behind him: "
Friends from the prairie, how do the children of my Yuezhi family compare to yours?"
Xubu Baye, who was in a daze, heard Xiu Xie's words and quickly complimented him: "The warriors of the great clan have superb riding skills, but my clan is far behind. The people of Qin will definitely have no choice but to flee this time."
"Haha!" The Xiu evil and many of the guards around him laughed loudly when they heard Xu Bu Ba Ye's words, as if they had seen the Qin people running for their lives.
Xu Buye looked at Xiu Xie who was laughing not far away, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
