Two hundred and seventieth eight chapters return journey
"Long time no see, Princess Iya. [br />
This was a dry dialogue that Hu Hai said after looking at Iya for a long time when he saw the somewhat gray-faced Iya.
Compared with the title of Queen Iya, who was famous throughout the Western Regions, Hu Hai still used the original identity of Iya to make this opening statement. However, the title was still the same, but the person was different.
Indeed, it has been seven years since the last farewell to Xianyang. Seven years ago, Eya made countless people in Xianyang City remember her peerless appearance and dancing posture with her dance. Seven years later, Eya,
Although her face is still beautiful, maybe she has been Queen Iya for too long, or maybe she has been tortured by the inexplicable hatred towards Hu Hai for too long in the past seven years. Compared with seven years ago, there is more Iya now.
She has a somewhat mature and noble charm, but her eyebrows have long lost the innocence and innocence she had when they first met Hu Hai, and instead have an indescribable gloomy look.
In particular, Iya's original pair of eyes as blue as the sea, which Hu Hai remembered the most and most astonishingly, can no longer be seen. The eyes are as dark blue, but they are filled with unforgettable hatred and malice.
, even Hu Hai, who thought he had reached a state of calm after ten years of training, couldn't help but be frightened.
What if life was just like the first time we met?
Hu Hai sighed secretly in his heart.
This is Hu Hai's march tent. There are only four people in the tent at the moment, Hu Hai, Iya, as well as Long Yu and Long Hong. The ropes on Iya's body have only just been untied.
I stayed in Huhai, Sheche City for twenty days, and did not leave Shache City until October 22nd to return to Xianyang. Judging from the progress when I arrived, I wanted to rush back to Xianyang City in a little more than a month.
Obviously this is no longer possible.
After Hu Hai arrived at Shache City, he did not immediately receive the envoys from more than ten Central Asian countries who had followed Li Xin across the Kunlun Mountains and traveled all the way to Shache City to meet with the Emperor of Qin who was patrolling the western regions of the empire. Instead, he only arrived in early October.
On the Second National Day, we officially received envoys from Central Asian countries.
This was the first time that Great Qin had exchanges and contacts with a foreign country, and it was also the first time that envoys from foreign countries came to see the Emperor of Great Qin and presented letters of credence to the Emperor of Great Qin from kings of other countries.
This interview was also the first time that a foreign envoy was not received in the main hall of Xianyang Palace in Xianyang City; this interview was also the first time that it was not held in the palace.
The interview was held after Hu Hai's military parade outside Shache City. The interview took place not at Hu Hai's emperor's palace in Shache City, but in the emperor's tent outside the city.
On the second day of October, Hu Hai held a grand military parade at the top of the city of Shache City to celebrate the National Day of the 60th year of the Qin Dynasty. The troops participating in the military parade included 10,000 Pingyi troops who followed Li Xin and returned to Shache City to meet Hu Hai, and 30,000 troops.
The Royal White Tiger Army under Du Teng and the 10,000 Great Qin Royal Forest Army who followed Hu Hai on his western tour totaled 50,000 troops.
The two legions, the Royal Forest Army and the Forbidden Army, were the only legions directly given the royal name by Hu Hai. As a legion dedicated to guarding the Emperor of Qin, no one had any objection to Hu Hai's arrangement, and of course no one dared to say anything even if they had objections.
Because Hu Hai was stationed in Shache City. After hearing the news, more than 50,000 people of all ethnic groups in the cities in the Western Regions came, plus Daqin merchants who stayed in Shache City waiting for the opening of the trade route, as well as local residents of Shache City and envoys from various countries.
According to statistics, almost 200,000 people watched this grand military parade.
This is the most comprehensive display of the power of the Qin army. Needless to say, the Pingyi Army and the Royal White Tiger Army, one has just destroyed the Vanyana Kingdom, and the other has captured the Western Region County and successfully destroyed the Iya Kingdom. These two
The prestige of this legion has long been known to people from the Western Regions and Central Asia. The 10,000 Great Qin Royal Guards Army that appeared as the finale was the first time that people from all ethnic groups in the Western Regions had seen it.
"The Qin Dynasty will surely win! Long live your Majesty! Long live! Long live your Majesty!"
When passing through the darkness outside the city, the endless Great Qin cavalry phalanx and infantry phalanx passed through the east gate of Yarkand City with overwhelming force; when he raised his hand gently, the whole world,
When the whole world fell into deathly silence in an instant; when he finished speaking, countless soldiers shouted "Long live"; when they saw countless soldiers wearing armor and fighting fiercely in front of that lonely upright figure.
a time to vent one’s loyalty;
All the ethnic groups in the Western Regions and envoys from various Central Asian countries felt their expressions change.
They could see endless well-equipped soldiers, flags covering the sky, fanatical and loyal soldiers and even generals, because they saw that the white-haired General Li Xin, the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition of Great Qin, also appeared in the military parade. Standing.
Li Xin, who was at the front of the military parade, just like those young and hot soldiers, looked up in reverence at the upright figure standing alone on the top of the not too tall Sheche City.
If such an empire, such a huge empire, wants to start a war, it will be the most tragic thing in the world. Because you will not find any possibility of winning.
You must know that the emperor of such a huge empire is still so young, and these armored soldiers are only less than one-twentieth of the young emperor's army.
He just stood there, but he already made you feel like you were seeing God's mansion.
Looking at Hu Hai's lonely and thick figure, Li Fei, Long Jiao and Long Mei have only now discovered what kind of influence and power their husbands have in this huge empire.
On both sides of the thick and solemn endless black torrent are countless green branches of Populus euphratica. Black and green are two incompatible colors, but they gave everyone a different feeling in this military parade.
a feeling.
Because, the young emperor said, green symbolizes hope and peace.
Although the words were short, they were enough for the various envoys from Central Asia who were worried to figure out the general meaning. The young emperor just wanted to punish King Brahmanya who did not know the heights of the sky, and did not want to continue to occupy Central Asia.
meaning of each country.
Understanding this made all the worried Central Asian envoys feel relieved.
The meeting between Hu Hai and the envoys from various countries after the military parade was extremely friendly and peaceful. None of the envoys raised any objection to the fall of the Vanyana Kingdom and the Qin's occupation of the land of the Vanyana Kingdom.
Maybe these envoys had the intention of the kings of various countries before, but just a small military parade made them change all their plans in an instant. They even asked the wise Emperor of Qin to execute King Brahmanana who dared to offend the majesty of Qin.
.
Politics is such a reality, and strength is also such a reality.
In fact, all truths do not need to be spoken at all. Truth only exists within the range of Qin's powerful crossbow. Li Xin, Du Teng and others once again had a deeper understanding of what Hu Hai had mentioned long ago.
In the next ten days or so, various Central Asian envoys successively signed a series of contracts with Daqin on behalf of each country.
This should be the first time that Hu Hai injected regulations into the scope of laws and regulations in this changed world history. These treaties, in addition to opening the door to facilitate exchanges between countries and sending envoys to each other to visit the capitals of each country, left the most
However, it requires all countries to respect and protect the Qin merchants and traveling people. Countries cannot arbitrarily deal with the Qin people who break the law within their borders, but must hand them over to Da Qin, who will be judged by Da Qin itself.
The envoys from various countries have even decided to go to Xianyang City, the capital of Great Qin, in the coming year to formally submit their credentials and meet with the Emperor of Great Qin again. Naturally, Hu Hai would not refuse this request.
After Hu Hai left Yarkand, the envoys from various countries rushed back to their countries as quickly as possible with full of excitement and apprehension.
As for Eya's appearance, it was something Hu Hai expected.
In fact, regardless of whether Eya refused Hu Hai's proposal for the Eya Kingdom to surrender to the Qin Dynasty, Hu Hai had already decided to patrol the west. When Du Teng completely destroyed the three cities of the Eya Kingdom, no trace of Eya was found, and in the next ten days,
After months and months without finding any trace, Hu Hai's westward patrol was postponed.
Of course, Hu Hai's order to Du Teng was to keep Eya alive as much as possible without killing him, and to spare the lives of the people of Iya as long as they chose to surrender.
It just so happens that Da Qin requires a lot of labor, right?
As Hu Hai thought, Eya and more than 3,000 seemingly well-equipped Eya troops took the initiative to attack Hu Hai on his way back.
There were 40,000 troops guarding them on the way here. Unless Ia wanted to die, she would not join him. However, when she returned, she specifically requested that she not bring any other troops except for the 10,000 imperial guards.
Hu Hai once again used himself as bait.
He knew that the Western Regions were big or small. Although the desert in the middle of the Tarim Basin today was many times smaller than in later generations, it was already big enough for this era.
If Iya wants to hide, it is impossible to force her out of the desert under the current conditions. Unless Hu Hai sends an army to pursue deep in the desert. Obviously, Hu Hai cannot let the elites of Great Qin enter the desert that even all the tribes in the Western Region are terrified of.
deep.
On the way back, Hu Hai tried his best to walk as close to the edge of the desert as possible to lure Iya out to attack him. If Iya really hated herself as much as she thought, then this return trip would be her only chance, and also
Her last chance.
After all, as the emperor of Great Qin, the place where Hu Hai spent the most time was Xianyang City and Xianyang Palace in the core area of Great Qin. Even if Iya had the ability to reach the sky, it would be impossible for her to reach Guanzhong at the core of Great Qin and run to Xianyang City to look for Hu Hai
.
Iya did not disappoint Hu Hai, and she came out from the depths of the desert.
Three thousand of the Iya army, who were driving all kinds of venomous snakes and poisonous insects, faced off against 10,000 well-trained Imperial Forest Army soldiers who were eating meat for the first time. The result was hard to say, not to mention that 20,000 who were only fifty miles away from Hu Hai had already been relieved by Hu Hai.
With the power of the Western Expedition, he slaughtered the Donghu cavalry of the Pingyi Army who had passed through Dieluo City.
Surrounded by groups, the soldiers of the Eya Kingdom, who had lost more than half of their soldiers, finally chose to surrender under the order of Eya.
Iya did not commit suicide as Hu Hai imagined, but was brought to Hu Hai by Long Hong as appointed.
