In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 510 The Edge
At the foot of Helan Mountain, beside the big river.When a large number of Huns' cavalry rushed back, they were exhausted.

Along the way, they encountered fleeing tribesmen, and they had already heard the news that the royal court was occupied by the Qin army.However, there is still hope after all, and it is possible to regain the royal court.

Touman ran for his life all the way, with anger in his eyes.Not long ago, a night attack by the Shangjun garrison left them in a panic.Touman abandoned the people of cattle and sheep, and left in a hurry with only horses, warriors and armaments.

And when the Xiongnu army turned back, it happened to encounter a plundered Qianghu cavalry.

"kill!"

Killing intent accompanied by anger, Touman gave the order.Although the Xiongnu's army was exhausted, they quickly wiped out the Qianghu cavalry with their skilled horsemanship and bow skills.

The captive Hun woman cried and cried, and seeing Touman, she couldn't hold back her tears.

"Chan Yu, you are finally back."

"How is Wang Ting now?"

"We heard from these Qiang people that after the Qin army captured Wangting, they are resting in place."

"How many are they?"

"The headquarters of the Qin army only had [-] riders, and the rest were looted and scattered everywhere."

After all, Touman still had a trace of luck in his heart.It seems that the Qin army got too much spoils and did not go south in time to return to the territory of Qin.In that case, there is still room for maneuver.

Wang Ting's hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, and a large population, as long as the Qin army didn't kill them all, then he could take it back and take a breather.

"Cross the river and go straight to the royal court!"

Although the Xiongnu's army was exhausted, if the opponent only had three thousand cavalry, they could still fight recklessly.

But at this moment, a bugle sounded.Touman looked for the sound, and the upper reaches of the river were full of clouds, coming towards here.

A large number of Qin troops walked in an orderly manner.

The leading general of Qin also seemed to have discovered the main cavalry of the Huns, and instead of retreating, he immediately advanced, commanding the Qin army to advance quickly before the Huns crossed the river.

Most of the Qin army was infantry, but they were well-disciplined and arrived at the ferry soon.

General Qin commanded the crossbowmen to shoot rapidly, shooting the Huns who were crossing the river off the canoe one after another.

The Huns were not good at water warfare, and they were in a mess at the moment.The leading general Qin stabilized the situation, occupied the ferry, looked at the Xiongnu army, and shouted loudly.

"Array!"

The banners are unfurled, and the black armor is lined up.The military flag was swaying in the wind, and across the river, the other party had no intention of hiding it, but instead displayed the flag openly.

Touman looked at the opponent's army formation, a little annoyed.

"Anxi Town Army!"

This army was so special that Touman recognized it from a long distance away.

"Chan Yu, the Anxi town army has arrived, we have no chance of winning if we cross the river again."

Da Danghu Ji Guli was beside him at the moment, talking calmly.

In the battle of Shangjun, the main force of the Xiongnu army was damaged, and then galloped for hundreds of miles, crossing the grassland in the middle of Henan, exhausted.

"Withdraw the Yinshan King's Court to the north!"

Touman roared, although he was unwilling, he still gave the order.Looking at the formation of the Qin army on the other side, the pent-up anger in Touman's heart turned into a loud roar.

"Zhao Shuang!"

Qin Palace.

A pool of clear water with no trace of waves.

"My Majesty, King Hanyang has defeated the Xiongnu and relieved the troubles in the north. The special ministers first brought back the prince of the Xiongnu, sacrificed the sacred objects, and offered them to Xianyang."

Not long ago, there was news that Shangjun's grain storage was in short supply.But in the blink of an eye, there were successive victories.After this battle, the Xiongnu's vitality was seriously injured, and they retreated northward to the Yinshan Mountains.I am afraid that within ten years, there is no spare energy to go south.

Mr. Changping is below, with a gloomy expression.Beforehand, he did not expect that Zhao Shuang would have such a skill.For such a long time, the main force of the Huns was attracted to the Eastern Front, and then they took advantage of their unpreparedness to surprise the Huns behind the Western Front.

Lord Changping glanced at King Qin, then lowered his head again, thinking in his heart.He did not expect that Zhao Shuang would be able to gather so many cavalry troops on the western front and successfully go north.

What is revealed in it is taboo by the king.Firstly, the financial resources of the family represented by Zhao Shuang are astonishing; secondly, Zhao Shuang’s prestige among the Hu and Qiang people in the west is very high; All the income from the line is in his own pocket.

Dedicating the princes of the Xiongnu and the holy objects for offering sacrifices to heaven in Xianyang is just a good look.

Lord Changping really wanted to see a trace of displeasure on King Qin's face, but to his disappointment, King Qin was very calm.

After the court meeting dispersed, Lord Changping walked out of the hall, and Lord Changwen followed behind.

"Brother, do we still want to visit the old lady?"

Mr. Changping remained silent, looked into the distance, spoke for a long time.

"Let's go!"

Huayang Palace.

It was raining continuously outside the palace, the doors and windows were opened, and a chill blew into the palace.

The Empress Dowager Huayang sat in the bedroom with her eyes closed.

"See the Queen Mother."

There are boxes placed in the temple, which contain a large amount of gold and silver, herbs and rare treasures, all of which came from the Huns.

"Old man, I gave Zhao Shuang 50 shi of grain, and now he has doubled the amount. Not only that, but a group of children under the old man are now firmly established in the army. With military merit, everyone has been promoted to a higher level."

Having said that, the Empress Dowager Huayang opened her eyes and looked at Lord Changping and Lord Changwen in front of her.

"how?"

Mr. Changping remained silent, while Mr. Changwen let out a haha.

"Empress Dowager, we are all on our own, why do you bother to bury us again? Have we suffered less anger along the way?"

"I can't stand this bit of anger. What are you doing? What kind of scene was Lu Buwei's power over the world back then? Didn't we survive it?"

Although the Empress Dowager Huayang is old, she has not lost her vigor.

"I have no chips in my hand, so I count on outsiders to help? Now that the Xiongnu is retreating northward, it seems that there will be no more wars on the border within ten years. The aristocratic family, the more powerful the army. Those who follow Zhao Shuang, the land, Women, slaves, everything. Now, who else can you count on?"

"If Zhao Shuang acts like this, won't the king have any scruples?"

Mr. Changping said the first sentence, but the Queen Mother Huayang was a little disappointed.

"There are so many things on the old side, will there be less on the king's side?"

Qin Palace.

"Your Majesty, according to the information from the front-line soldiers, the plains at the foot of Helan Mountain are rich in water and grass, and the land is fertile. There should be no major disputes on the border within ten years after the first battle of the Xiongnu. If they immigrated, they would enrich the border defense. After the Xiongnu went south again At that time, it can greatly relieve the pressure on the border."

In front of King Qin, there was a memorial.

Wang Wan stood in the hall, talking in detail.Li Si listened quietly, without saying a word.

The king of Qin read the memorial carefully, and merged this place into the northern land, which also pushed Qin's border northward by hundreds of miles.In this way, there are two strategic fulcrums in Henan to consolidate the border defense.

In this way, Qin's strategy of attacking the six countries may be smoother.

"If so, a heavy army will be sent to guard this place."

Li Si was beside him and said.The power of the aristocratic clan is at its peak, but at this time they are heading towards the border, constantly marginalizing themselves, the meaning of which is hard to fathom.

"The Anxi town army has always been loyal and brave in guarding Longxi and the North, so it can take on this role."

Wang Wan bowed her hands and spoke slowly.

King Qin finally spoke on the throne.

"Can!"
