Xin Sheng and other generals were all puzzled by the fact that an old man over fifty years old suddenly ran out of the Xiongnu's main formation and rushed towards the Qin army's formation that was ready to attack. Is it possible that the Huns have no one left? Send an old man
Guys as messengers?
After joining forces, in order to better command the army, Li Gang, Mengmao and others have handed over all the command of the Nine Plains Army with less than 100,000 men to Longxi General Xin Sheng. Regardless of his seniority or leading the army in battle
Although Li Gang and others are the new talents of the Jiuyuan Army, they cannot be compared with veterans like Xin Sheng who have followed General Meng Tian for decades.
What's more, Xin Sheng had always been the de facto second-in-command of the Jiuyuan Army before he was transferred to Longxi General to replace Weng Zhong in commanding the Longxi Army. In addition to General Meng Tian, Xin Sheng, who was the deputy general of the Jiuyuan Army, had a salary of 300,000.
Jiuyuan Junbingzhong was the person with the highest reputation and virtue. Even Meng Hong could not compare with Xin Sheng.
In fact, although Xin Shengqian was able to lead an army by himself when he was appointed General of Longxi, and his official position was raised one level to the same level as Mengtian's General of Jiuyuan, but judging from the comparison of the strength of Longxi Army and Jiuyuan Army, Xin Shengqian was
Sheng can be said to have been demoted.
Under Xin Sheng's order, the coalition forces of more than 109,000 Yuan Army and Longxi Army, which were ready to attack, were not in a hurry to attack the more than 200,000 Huns cavalry on the opposite side. Xin Sheng wanted to see if the Huns sent a
The messenger came to say something.
However, when Xin Sheng and others finally understood what the old man with an old face said in a series of gestures and jabbering, they all stood stunned on the spot.
At this time, Xin Sheng, Li Gang, Mengmao and others figured out that the people who had been fighting with them for a long time were not the Huns at all, but the Donghu people who had been destroyed by the Huns and took refuge with the Huns. And this sloppy old guy was still the same as he is today.
The leader of the Donghu clan is called Mohuer.
There doesn't seem to be much difference in appearance between the Donghu people and the Huns. They both have high foreheads and deep eye sockets, they both wear sheepskin coats and smell like sheep, and they are both barbarians. These are not important.
The important thing is the meaning expressed by Mohu'er. This was reluctantly translated by the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army who knew Xiongnu. Mohu'er only knew a little Daqin.
The remaining more than 200,000 Donghu cavalry actually chose to surrender to the Great Qin. I hope that the Great Qin can protect the Donghu people and give the Donghu people a place to settle down. The Donghu people are willing to herd horses and guard the border for Great Qin forever. Of course, the premise is that Great Qin can help save Mohuer.
Return to the hundreds of thousands of Donghu old and weak women and children who were imprisoned by the Huns around Langjuxu Mountain, the holy land of the Huns.
As if in response to Mo Hu'er's words, Mo Hu'er saw An Ran entering the Qin army's formation and then walking out and waving. More than 200,000 Donghu cavalry who had been standing quietly dismounted and drove all the horses far away from the army.
He established his position and became a foot soldier.
This was to show Da Qin the sincerity of the Donghu people to serve.
Seeing this scene, Xin Sheng and others felt even more headaches.
Surrender is very simple. Any leading general has the right to accept the enemy's surrender.
However, the situation of these Donghu people is different. Accepting their surrender means that Da Qin agrees to accept the submission of the Donghu clan. As the master, Da Qin must protect the Donghu clan and save the Donghu clan from being enslaved by the Huns.
The most important thing is to set aside a piece of land for the Donghu tribe to live in, and of course, we can also move all the hundreds of thousands of Donghu tribe to inland areas.
You must know that at this time, Great Qin had arrangements for any foreign tribe that came to seek protection from Great Qin, and had never broken its promise. From the nearly a hundred large and small foreign tribes that were attached to Jiuyuan City,
You can see it.
Most of those small foreign tribes were officially recognized by the Central Court of the Qin Dynasty before they could enter the territory of the Qin Dynasty, and they grazed and hunted in the vast grassland areas such as the Hetao Plain and Henan.
Without the order of the Emperor of Qin, even General Meng Tian had no right to accept the submission of any small foreign tribe with even ten people. Nor could any foreign barbarian enter the territory of Da Qin.
But once the central government of Qin accepts the submission of these small foreign tribes, no matter how small or small the tribes are, they will be resettled.
Dominating the world and overlooking the country, it is not only the nominal unity of the country, but more importantly, the momentum of being a central country. For any foreigner who loves the Great Qin, starting from the First Emperor, the Great Qin has never been stingy and promised to follow
He has never broken his promise. Similarly, Great Qin has never shown mercy to any foreign barbarian who dared to attack Great Qin again.
More than ten years ago, Touman Shanyu of the Xiongnu led more than 500,000 Xiongnu soldiers to the south of the Yinshan Mountains, intending to take advantage of the fact that the Qin Dynasty had just unified the world and was trapped in the raging wave of resistance from the survivors of the six countries, and invaded the Hetao Plain and Henan.
On the ground, dozens of small foreign tribes that were attached to the Qin Dynasty saw that the situation was not right, and immediately changed their flags and pretended to be the vanguard of the Huns, leading the Huns' cavalry to attack the Qin Dynasty.
General Meng Tian personally led the 300,000 Nine Plains Army to meet the Xiongnu in Henan. More than 500,000 Xiongnu cavalry were wiped out in one battle, and nearly 200,000 were beheaded by the Nine Plains Army. The remaining nearly 300,000 Huns and barbarians fled in all directions.
Touman led only less than a thousand personal guards and fled back to Langjuxu Mountain in embarrassment.
Afterwards, all the dozens of small foreign tribes that had taken refuge with the Xiongnu before the war and were once attached to the wings of the Qin Dynasty, including men, women, old and young, as well as the cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock in the tribes, nearly 20,000 people and more than 100,000 livestock, were killed.
The First Emperor issued an edict to kill them all.
The place of execution was outside Jiuyuan Army City and under the Great Wall. The other foreign barbarians who had surrendered to Da Qin were forced to come to watch the execution. Under their gaze, the foreign barbarians who could have been dealt with in one go were instead killed.
Three days and three nights.
Batch after batch! The bloody scenes of corpses piled into mountains and rivers of blood made the entire foreign barbarians near the northern border of Da Qin tremble with fear!
No chickens or dogs left behind, nothing more than this.
As for the foreign tribes who contributed to the Great Qin in that battle, they all received richer grazing land and more support and protection from the Great Qin.
Since then, among all the small foreign tribes that have sheltered in Da Qin, no one or a tribe has dared to betray Da Qin. This is also the reason why Morton’s army went south this time without the support of any foreign tribe to lead the way. It is also the reason why the foreign tribes who have surrendered to Da Qin have turned to Da Qin.
Reason for reporting.
If you want to ask for protection from Great Qin, you can ask Great Qin to give you a place to live. The prerequisite is that you don't want to betray the master. Great Qin uses bloody facts and actions that promise thousands of gold to tell the foreign barbarians what the Great Qin Empire is.
The Donghu cavalry surrendered on the battlefield. As the commander-in-chief, Xin Sheng could accept and had the right to accept their surrender. However, nearly one million people from the Donghu clan surrendered to the Qin Dynasty. At the same time, they had to go deep into the Xiongnu hinterland, Langjuxu Mountain, to rescue the Donghu clan.
It is not Xin Sheng's decision to make the final decision on matters such as his clan members.
Xin Sheng also knew that even the Taibao, General, and Jiuyuan Hou Mengtian did not dare to make decisions without authorization.
There is only one person who can make the decision, His Majesty the Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Hu Hai.
Therefore, Xin Sheng had a headache. He was not afraid of the more than 200,000 Donghu cavalry. With the nearly 150,000 Jiuyuan Army and the Longxi Army in hand, Xin Sheng was sure that he could defeat them within an hour. If
If all the 150,000-strong coalition were cavalry, Xin Sheng was even sure that he would be able to annihilate all the more than 200,000 Donghu cavalry.
However, now they are here to surrender and to submit to the Qin Dynasty to ask for protection from the Qin Dynasty. Then they cannot fight. If they cannot fight, they cannot accept Mohuer’s surrender. If they cannot accept the surrender, they cannot withdraw their troops;
If we cannot withdraw our troops, we cannot divide our forces to pursue the real big guy, the Xiongnu's Morton Chanyu.
Could it be that the two armies were facing each other and watching helplessly as the Hun Chan Yu Morton led more than 100,000 Hun cavalry to escape?
Xin Sheng, I am really helpless.
Mohuer looked at Xin Sheng eagerly. From the series of actions of the Qin soldiers, he knew that the middle-aged general in black and mighty armor in front of him was the commander-in-chief of this elite Qin army.
"Please General, please accept the allegiance of our Donghu clan and save our Donghu clan." Mohuer thought that he was not sincere enough, so he knelt on the ground respectfully and gave a big salute to the frowning Xin Sheng and sobbed.
The reputation of Great Qin is clearly known to all the foreign barbarians surrounding the tens of thousands of miles of borders. It is okay not to join the Qin people, but do not offend Great Qin. If you join Great Qin, as long as you are loyal, Great Qin will never treat the foreign barbarians who surrendered like the Huns.
tribe.
"No, no!"
Xin Sheng was startled by Mohuer's actions, and quickly jumped to the side to avoid Mohuer's gift, and reached out to help Mohuer up. The Donghu people had shown enough sincerity, even even the war horse, which was related to their wealth and life,
They were all driven away and turned into foot soldiers.
The nomadic people on the grassland, off the back of their horses, are basically like women who have taken off their clothes in the eyes of the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty. They can be kneaded as much as they want. Now these horses are led by Li Gang, who leads more than 30,000 Jiuyuan troops.
All the cavalry rushed to one place to guard. Regarding the movements of the Qin cavalry, more than 200,000 Donghu cavalry just watched quietly and did not stop them at all.
Therefore, Xin Sheng did not doubt the sincerity of the Donghu people in seeking refuge with Great Qin and seeking protection from Great Qin. The key point was that he could not give Mohu'er a clear answer at this moment.
At this moment, rolling thunder came from the southeast.
Xin Sheng and Mohu'er were both startled when they heard the sound, and looked towards where the sound came from. Both of them were experienced veterans, and of course they knew that such a sound could only be heard by a large group of cavalry galloping.
And listening to the sound of horse hooves, it seemed that at least more than 200,000 cavalry were running towards the direction where he and others were standing.
The Donghu cavalry, who had been standing quietly and became infantry, suddenly became commotion when they heard the roar of horse hooves.
