Two hundred and twentieth chapters to the Western Regions
"Senior brother, do you recognize this beast?" Kuai Tong stared at the monster for a while and suddenly said.
"What strange beasts and insects are!" Zou Hong and Cai Ze looked at each other and said in unison.
"roar!"
When the monster lingering on the Yuzhou cauldron heard the words of Zou Hong and Cai Ze, it suddenly let out a loud roar. Then it thrust its raised triangular head into the large cauldron surrounded by its two bodies.
When he raised his head again, a white egg-shaped thing appeared in the ferocious giant mouth. The two bodies of the insect-like beast holding the white egg-shaped thing for more than a month were entangled with the giant green gold cauldron for the first time.
Once he left the giant cauldron beneath him.
The huge green-gold body of the giant cauldron was completely exposed to everyone for the first time.
The two insect beasts who left the giant cauldron did not go far, but were still hovering next to the giant cauldron, holding the white egg-shaped thing in their mouths and staring at Zou Hong and others with eyes as big as two fists.
, there will no longer be any action.
At this time, the complete body of the insect was also exposed in front of everyone. It was only at this moment that Weng Zhong and others discovered that the body of the insect must be more than four feet. Its previously exposed body was only the entire body.
Just one third.
The green-gold giant cauldron has been buried in the mud of the river for who knows how long, but there is no rust or stain on its huge body. Tian Fang once saw some fur on the belly of the giant cauldron and determined it to be the Yuzhou cauldron.
The map finally appeared completely in front of Zou Hong and others.
Everyone knows the complete map of Yuzhou during the Xia and Yu period.
This is really the Yuzhou Ding!
However, at this moment, the ecstasy of confirming Yuzhou Ding was diluted by the strange behavior of the insect.
What does it mean to be an insect?
What's going on? What kind of show is this? What is that white egg-shaped thing that the insect is holding in its mouth?
Zou Hong, Cai Ze, and Kuai Tong looked at each other and could see the relief in each other's hearts. They originally thought it would be a very difficult and dangerous task, but they didn't expect it to be so simple.
"Bring out your Majesty's edict quickly." Zou Hong whispered in the ears of the officials from the Supervision Department of Zongzheng Mansion who were following him.
Although this royal family member was also filled with doubts, he reacted quickly. He immediately took out the jade box that he had been carrying close to his body, and carefully took out the jade box that Zou Hong had asked for from Hu Hai before leaving.
edict.
The content of the edict was not known to this royal family member who served in the Supervision Department of Zongzheng Mansion. Neither Cai Ze nor Kuai Tong was aware of the content of the edict. Only Hu Hai, Cao Shen and Zou Hong, who ordered the drafting of the edict, knew about it.
When they saw the edict taken out from the jade box of the Supervision Department, Weng Zhong and others did not dare to neglect it. Long Wei Mansion and Weng Zhong and other generals all knelt on one knee, but Zou Hong and others all bowed down and bowed deeply.
In less than a moment, in addition to the officials of the Supervision Department who were preparing to read out the emperor's edict, soldiers from the Xuanwu Army and thousands of soldiers from the surrounding construction corps also knelt down on one knee, preparing to receive the edict.
"The Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty issued an edict: You are the spirit of Heze, guarding our national treasure of the Qin Dynasty..."
The official of the Supervision Department issued a eloquent edict of hundreds of words. Qi Hong, Tian Fang and others, who bowed to accept the edict, finally understood that the emperor was issuing an edict to let the monster contribute the Yuzhou Ding.
Just. Is this useful?
After the edict was read, Zou Hong stood up and looked at Weng Zhong and said, "General Weng, are you still not going to act in accordance with the edict?"
"Ah? Act according to the imperial edict? How to act?" Weng Zhong said stupidly before he understood the situation.
Zou Hong rolled his eyes. He was hopeless. He didn't know how he could become the general of Xuanwu.
"General, please give me an order to withdraw all the Xuanwu soldiers under your command. Just leave the road open for this strange beast."
"Oh. Okay!" Weng Zhong responded smoothly, and then he seemed to think of something, "What if this beast takes the Yuzhou Ding away? Your Majesty will investigate, and I will report the truth truthfully."
"General, just follow the orders." Zou Hong was too lazy to talk to this guy.
He seems to be very good at fighting. Is his head filled with mud?
Following Weng Zhong's order, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army, who were surrounded by insects and the Yuzhou Dingwei, quickly demolished all the fences, giant shields and tents, freeing up the passage up and down the river.
The insect with the egg in its mouth glanced at the Yuzhou Ding reluctantly, then turned around and twisted its body toward the upstream river. However, in a short time, Yi Jing climbed up the not too high barrage.
.
"Plop!"
With a sound, the water splashed and disappeared into the vast Huaihe River.
Weng Zhong, Qi Hong, Tian Fang and others felt that their brains were not enough at this moment.
The emperor's edict is not only useful to himself and others, but can it also be used by beasts who don't understand human language?
This...this...is really unbelievable.
Zou Hong looked at the reactions of Qi Hong, Weng Zhong, Tian Fang, and the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army and the Construction Corps who witnessed the incident, who were stunned and even a little at a loss. He looked at each other with Cai Ze and Kuai Tong and said meaningfully.
laughed.
It's just a strange Heze beast that protects its cubs and is somewhat psychic.
It’s really nothing to be surprised about, right?
On March 26, the fourth year of the Second Qin Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor of the Second Qin Dynasty issued an order to protect the strange beasts of the tripod. The strange beasts obeyed the order and abandoned the tripod and left, and the Yuzhou tripod appeared. From this day on, the Jiuding of China finally reunited.
The news that the Yuzhou Ding was born and that the Nine Dings would be reunited in Xianyang City in the near future was like a strong wind blowing all over the Qin Dynasty, north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and inside and outside the grasslands.
However, such important news is no longer important. What is even more exciting is that His Majesty the Second Emperor, oh, no, it is the Holy Emperor who ordered the alien beasts to leave obediently.
This is no longer something that humans can do.
Zou Hong successfully added a lot of fire to the reputation of Emperor Hu Hai.
Of course, if he had known that he was about to become the head of state, he would probably have worked harder to make this fire burn brighter.
On the first day of April, Yuzhou Ding set out from Guangling to return to Xianyang, escorted by 10,000 Xuanwu soldiers.
While the Yuzhou Ding was being carried into the Xuanwu Army camp and heavily guarded, Hei Bingtai had already told Hu Hai exactly what happened in Guangling. Seeing what Zou Hong did, Hu Hai first smiled and cursed, "
"Old fox", then added "Old magic stick" as if it was not enough to relieve his anger, and then left the emperor's study with a loud laugh to hug his son.
Is this God's will?
…
Time flies so fast, and it has soon entered the middle of April in the fourth year of the Second World War. It is the season when the grass grows and the orioles fly, and all parts of Daqin are also in a state of prosperity.
At the same moment, in Hexi County, which is nearly ten thousand miles away from Xianyang, horns were blaring, swords were filling the sky, and a murderous atmosphere was rising into the sky.
This day is recorded in the history books of the Qin Dynasty as April 18th, the fifty-fourth year of the Qin Dynasty.
After nearly a year of preparations, the 100,000 White Tiger Army that had been annexing Yumenguan Fortress for nearly ten months finally received an order from His Majesty the Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty on this day to march westward to Puchanghai with a sacrificial flag.
The 100,000-strong White Tiger Army originally had a total of 90,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry. After ten months of rest and recuperation, in order to cope with the environment in the Western Regions, the Ministry of War urgently mobilized nearly 60,000 horses of various types from several royal horse farms in Jiuyuan County.
, used to enhance the mobility of the White Tiger Army.
Among these 60,000 horses, there are a total of 40,000 Mongolian war horses suitable for long-distance running and excellent endurance, and 20,000 horses responsible for logistics. The 40,000 war horses, plus the 10,000 originally owned by the White Tiger Army
With the cavalry, the White Tiger Army became an army of 50,000 infantry and 50,000 cavalry. It was no longer the previous situation where infantry made up the majority.
When we were in the Bashang camp, basically every soldier of the five legions had received special riding training. Although the emphasis of each legion was different, for an infantry-based legion like the White Tiger Army, ordinary infantry would definitely not be able to ride.
It may be an elite force such as the Suzaku Army, which mainly uses cavalry.
Fortunately, the foundation is there. After these few months of training and the previous foundation, the 40,000 infantry soldiers of the White Tiger Army who have been converted to cavalry have basically adjusted. They may not be as powerful as the Suzaku Army cavalry, but
I think after a few actual battles, it's almost the same.
The 100,000 White Tiger Army, 50,000 infantry and 50,000 cavalry were divided into three groups and rolled towards Puchanghai simultaneously from the north, west and south of Yangguan Fortress, Bijia City and Yumenguan Fortress.
Among the infantry, there were 15,000 people who temporarily became the baggage team. Of course, the tens of thousands of Xiongnu prisoners in Hexi County were the best candidates to transport the baggage. These 15,000 people were only responsible for logistical support and taking care of the Huns prisoners by the way.
The North Route Army, that is, the White Tiger Army marching west from Yangguan Fortress, is commanded by the White Tiger Army's deputy general Yi Heng. It has 10,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry, including 5,000 soldiers responsible for baggage. There are also
Ten thousand Xiongnu prisoners were responsible for transporting grain, grass and weapons;
The southern army, that is, the White Tiger Army marching west from Yumenguan Fortress, was commanded by Wu Wei, the deputy general of the White Tiger Army. He also had 10,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry, and transported 10,000 Xiongnu prisoners with logistical equipment.
The middle army, now led by General Du Teng of the White Tiger Army, marched westward from Bijia City Fortress to Puchanghai. Du Teng's middle army was also the largest army, with 30,000 cavalry, 20,000 infantry, and those transporting grain and grass.
The Xiongnu captured 30,000 people.
The three armies were all guided by a group of princes from the Western Region Kingdom who had arrived at Hexi County. Prince Xunhu of Loulan was also in Du Teng's middle army.
The target of Du Teng's middle route army is Loulan City in the core area of Puchanghai.
The remaining two armies, led by the princes of the subjugated kings, were responsible for sweeping out the small countries in the Western Region above and below Loulan City that had been occupied by the Wusun people. Finally, the three armies met in Loulan and swept across the entire Western Region.
In the eyes of many people in the Qin Dynasty, the Western Region countries, including the Wusun people, had enough of one hundred thousand elite White Tiger troops of the Qin Dynasty. (To be continued)
