The Jagged Empire of Daqin

After the army entered the city, Ying Chang ordered the soldiers to light fires and cook at the north gate of the city. Thirty fire stoves were turned on, and a thousand soldiers took turns to cook. Within three incense sticks, twenty pots of fragrant white rice appeared In the eyes of countless hungry people.

Seeing the full grains of white rice, every hungry person couldn't help drooling, and his red eyes never left the white rice.

After the white rice is cooked, the soldiers put pots of white rice on the temporary grain storage table, which is three feet high. Big Iron Spoon, when everything was ready, Ying Chang stood on the grain storage stand and shouted to the messy hungry people below the stage:

"Fathers and elders, the food has been cooked, please line up and come one by one, don't panic, there is enough food!"

As the voice fell, countless hungry people scrambled to line up in three queues, and each queue corresponded to a food storage slot. The speed of the hungry people queuing up was very fast, and within a dozen breaths, the chaotic scene suddenly became orderly.

Ying Chang nodded in satisfaction, walked to the middle of the food storage stand, took a food spoon from a soldier, and decided to spoon rice for the hungry people himself. Seeing the Emperor Daqin taking the spoon in person, many hungry people were moved to shed Tears, the eyes of those children looking at Ying Chang are also full of admiration and admiration!

"Let's start!" Ying Chang shouted with a smile on his face!

Hearing Ying Chang's words, the soldiers who stopped under the grain distribution platform immediately gave up three lanes to let the hungry people pass. Seeing this, the hungry people immediately walked up the steps of the grain distribution platform, came to the corresponding food storage position, and then turned to the food distribution platform. The soldiers of the Qin army in the grain position stretched out the broken cans and bowls in their hands.

The generals of the Qin army who were in charge of putting out the food took a large iron spoon and reached into the cauldron, took out a full spoonful, poured it into the broken bowl and canister stretched out by the hungry people, and then poured a spoonful of cabbage soup on the white rice , make the rice more fragrant, and prevent the hungry people from swallowing their throats.

Seeing that he got a bowl full of white rice, countless hungry people wept bitterly, and became more grateful to Qin Jun.

They will always remember this day, knowing that if it wasn't for Qin Jun, they would have starved to death in the wilderness, becoming a starved corpse. Grace is the greatest kindness, and they will repay this kindness with their whole life and even future generations.

"Kids need to eat more, come on, big brother will give you another spoonful!"

"Thank you, Mr. Jun, don't hurry up and thank Mr. Jun!"

"Thank you, Master!"

"You're welcome, it should be, eat slowly, don't swallow!"

"Master Jun, can you give me more? I have a wife who is too hungry to walk, and I want food for two of you. Look..."

"No problem, come on, I'll give you a full spoon!"

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Jun!"

On the battlefield, all the soldiers of the Qin Army are asuras who kill without batting an eyelid, but when they open the warehouse to release grain, all the soldiers of the Qin Army are good people, and they will help if they can. As long as there is a good reason, they will give as much food as they want. How much food do you have, just two words, control your fullness!

The Qin army has two titles, the division of tigers and wolves, and the division of benevolence and righteousness!

Whether it is the former or the latter, they are not blown out by themselves, they are obtained after taking action.

Time passed slowly, two hours in a blink of an eye, one quarter at night!

Night had already fallen, and the whole land was immersed in the night, but the north gate of Nanzhi County was brightly lit. A large number of soldiers of the Qin Army held torches. Under the lights, a large number of hungry people leaned against the wall to rest. Every starving man held clean broken bowls and pots in his hands, which had been licked clean.

"Finally finished!"

After seeing no hungry people queuing up to receive food, Ying Chang let out a heavy breath, expelling his exhaustion. He insisted on holding the spoon for two hours. Although the people saw his kindness, it also made his arms numb.

Ying Chang put the iron ladle back into the empty iron pot, then stepped down from the grain storage table, looking at the countless hungry people leaning against the wall and lying on the ground, Ying Chang felt a sense of accomplishment. Ying Chang forgot that his arms were sore and numb.

Worth it!

"Come on!" Ying Chang called softly!

"The end is here!"

Pei Ji, who had been silently standing by Ying Chang's side, immediately ran over to answer.

"Calculate how many people there are, and then distribute a bucket of food to each person according to their head. Also, it's not a big deal for them to sleep outside. There are many empty houses in the city. You should take someone to resettle these people immediately!" Ying Chang was expressionless. Said.

"Obey!" Pei Ji replied with a respectful expression!

Immediately afterwards, Pei Ji took two hundred imperial guards and began to count the heads. After a period of time, there were more than 3 people in total, and some people were not counted. Those people were the locals of Nanzhi. After the life-saving food, everyone went home to rest. Only the homeless people would lie on the ground or lean against the wall.

In order to know how many people got the food, Pei Ji had to take people to knock on the door one by one. Although this was disturbing the people, it was a last resort. The grain platform receives grain.

After all the locals in Nanzhi left their homes, Pei Ji finally got an accurate number, 9000!

One bucket of rice per person means 9000 buckets for [-] people, equivalent to [-] shi. One bucket of rice is not much food, but for these hungry people, they can eat for a month if they save some food.

Next, the Qin army spent another two hours distributing food. After distributing the food, Pei Ji began to resettle the hungry people. This busy work lasted all night, and it was not until dawn the next day that the problem of food and housing for the people was solved.

After food distribution and the daily consumption of the army, the Qin army still has 170 million shi of grain, which is depleted very quickly. According to this rate, the Qin army will run out of food in three months, but Ying Chang ordered Dong The prefect of the state mobilized grain.

There are 540 million shi of grain in the six counties and eighteen warehouses in Dongzhou. With this batch of grain, it is enough to last until the Great Qin destroys Yan!

In two days, the 24th year of Shengqin, April [-]th, Chenshi!

Great Qin Empire, Dongzhou, Fangshan County, Qinyan border!

Five miles west of Yanqingkou Pass, there is a military camp standing on a flat land. Looking at the military camp with countless black Qin character military flags, you can know that this military camp is the Qin Army camp. Yes, it is the Qingkou Camp!

Handsome account!

In the commanding tent, Zhenbei Great General Zhao Hua was dressed in a military uniform and was in the commanding position. There were nine generals standing on the left and right sides of the tent, all of them were nine-rank generals. They were the famous Eighteen Devil Riders, also known as Eighteen Devil Generals!

Since Zhao Hua led the first battalion alone, the Devil's Eighteen Generals are no longer just a special army that charged into battle, but also the commander in chief of the army!

Zhao Hua, who was sitting in the handsome seat, was reading the letter just sent from Ningta Camp. After reading the contents of the letter, Zhao Hua couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and grinned at the eighteen devil generals: " His Majesty ordered us to attack Qingkou Pass!"

That's right, the letter sent from the Ningta camp was exactly Yingchang's decree, ordering him to lead troops to attack Qingkou Pass, but there was another line of writing on the letter, which read: "Zheng Long surrendered to the Qin Dynasty Fake surrender, be careful in everything, don't spread it, just know it well!"

Don't pass it on!Don't pass it on!Naturally, Zhao Hua did not inform the Eighteen Devil Generals about Zheng Long's false surrender. Although he trusted the Eighteen Devils, it was not a matter of trust or distrust.

"Great, it's finally our turn to play!" Demon Mouse General Zhao Cun laughed excitedly.

Although the name of the Devil Mouse General is not very good, it is a bit cowardly, but in fact, the Devil Mouse General Zhao Cun is the most powerful one of the Devil's Eighteen Riders, except for Zhao Hua, he is the Devil's Eighteen Riders boss.

"Looking at Qingkouguan every day with greedy eyes, now I can finally take practical actions!"

"This battle is the first battle for our Devil Nineteenth General to lead an army to fight. We must win it beautifully. Let the world see that our Devil Nineteenth Cavalry is not only a good fighter in charge, but also a genius in leading troops to fight! "

"This battle can only be won and not lost!"

The Eighteen Demon Knights were all elated, with awe-inspiring fighting spirit, wishing they could send troops to attack Qingkou Pass now.

For the general, the first battle is very important, because he can decide how far he can go in the future. Therefore, the Eighteen Devils, who have never led an army alone, have the determination to win the battle in the first battle.

Seeing the elated look of the Devil's Eighteen Riders, Zhao Hua was also very happy, because this battle was also the first battle in the sense of life.

"It is a good thing to have a fighting spirit, but don't underestimate the enemy. Qingkou Pass belongs to Yanming King Dong Li. Dong Li has an army of 30, and his strength should not be underestimated. We only have [-], and [-] are cavalry. The most important thing , we don’t have any siege equipment yet!”

"According to reports from scouts, Dong Li added 15 troops at Qingkou Pass. Now Qingkou Pass has 20 troops. Our troops are four times weaker than Dong Li, and we have no siege equipment. The latest rocket developed by the Ordnance Department has never been used by our army." Equipment, if you want to win the Qingkou pass, it is difficult, very difficult!" Zhao Hua straightened his face and said with a slightly dignified expression.

"We can't attack by force, we can only outwit it!" General Zhao Cun said in a deep voice.

The rest of the devil generals also nodded. Wars don't depend on force alone. If you can't win by force, then play tricks. Anyway, there are sayings in military strategists, and soldiers are deceitful!

Zhao Hua pondered for a moment, "Outsmart? If it is outsmart, there is a way, but this way is more risky and requires the participation of our nineteen demon generals!"

"General, just tell me, we brothers, we haven't seen any ups and downs!" said Demon Bull General Zhao Ke impatiently.

Demon Cow Demon Cow, this title really did not give him a wrong name, he is impatient.

"Burn Dong Li's food and grass!" Zhao Hua didn't write any words, and directly said his method.

"This is a good idea. Although Dong Li is a prince, he has no court support behind him. Once we burn his rations, his 20 troops will be in turmoil. Even if we don't need to tackle key problems, they will fall apart! " Zhao Cun said with a smile.

Zhao Hua nodded, "That's right, although Dong Li is standing behind Dong Li, one of the ten great families of Dayan, the Dong family, but the Dong family has a deep foundation and cannot provide Dong Li with food continuously. Moreover, Dong Li's army They are all untrained militiamen!"

"They worked their lives for Dong Li just to feed themselves. If Dong Li can't give them the food they want, the army will collapse without fighting. It's just that the strategy is good, but it's dangerous. We need nineteen demon generals to sneak into Dong Li Barracks, find Dong Li's rations!"

"These are not difficult for us. The difficult thing is to get out of the body. I heard that Dong Li still has two brushes. As long as he knows that the army rations have been burned, he will definitely order the soldiers to block the barracks. At that time, we must kill thousands of people. Thousands of troops, otherwise, I'm afraid they will be folded inside!"

Zhao Hua's expression became serious again, a trace of worry emerged between his brows.

"This is easy!" Zhao Cun said disapprovingly.

"Oh?" Zhao Hua raised his brows, "Is this easy? Why are you talking about it!"

"General, don't go, leave this matter to our [-] brothers, because we need you to attract the firepower of Dong Li's army. When we act, you lead the army to hold off and put on a strong attack posture. Dong Li Seeing that you are going to attack by force, I will definitely mobilize an army to defend Qingkou!"

"Facing the enemy's imminent attack on the pass, any general will focus on defense and never think that the army rations will be burned by the enemy. When our brothers burn Dong Li's army rations, Dong Li's army will definitely panic!"

"At this moment, General, you will lead your army towards the pass, give Dong Li a few waves of crossbows and arrows, and make Dong Li think that the real purpose of our Qin army is to attack the city, and burning his rations is just to disturb his morale. , It’s just to facilitate the main army to attack the city!”

"At that time, Dong Li will only send some people to fight the fire, and will never dare to mobilize the army to reward the barracks. In this way, we brothers will be able to retreat unscathed!" Zhao Cun said calmly and eloquently.

"Miao, Miao, it's really wonderful!" Zhao Hua shouted Miao three times, feeling a burst of surprise!

The rest of the magic generals also gave Zhao Cun thumbs up to express their admiration.

"If this is done, I will definitely ask His Majesty to take credit for you!" Zhao Hua looked at Zhao Cun with a smile on his face and said.

Zhao Cun scratched his head in embarrassment, "It doesn't matter if you get credit or not, the main thing is to win the battle."

"Ha ha!"

Hearing such a duplicity, Zhao Hua and many other demon generals couldn't help laughing.

"Report!"

In vain at this time, there was an urgent call from outside the tent, Zhao Hua heard the words, and immediately yelled softly: "Come in!"

After the words fell, a scout opened the curtain and walked into the tent, then knelt down on one knee respectfully and wrote a report: "General, just half an hour ago, Qingkou was closed and opened, and more than a dozen people walked out of it. A cavalry soldier from the Yan army, some of them are holding a talisman, they should come to see the general!"

"Interesting..." Zhao Hua immediately became interested, and then waved lightly to the scouts, signaling the scouts to back down. The eighteen devil generals standing on both sides asked: "Everyone, what do you think about this matter?"

"It's either seeking peace or surrendering!" Zhao Ke said.

"It is more likely to seek peace. You must know that Zheng Long has already surrendered. If he does not seek peace, he will be attacked by our army and Zheng Long. If he does not seek peace, it means death!"

"I think the possibility of surrender is greater than the possibility of peace, because when Zheng Long surrendered to Qin, His Majesty gave the condition of retaining the king and fief. This condition is not bad, and it is difficult for anyone to resist!"

"If Dong Li surrenders, we will be in a dilemma. First of all, Dong Li's surrender will definitely negotiating the conditions. This is unquestionable, but we can't make the decision. We can't decide whether to accept or not to accept the conditions. It needs to be submitted to His Majesty. His Majesty call the shots!"

"Your Majesty is currently in Huaibei County. It takes two months to come and go. It's okay if Your Majesty agrees to surrender. It's worth wasting time, but if Your Majesty doesn't agree, we will waste two months of time!"

"This Dong Li is really looking for trouble, come to us at this time!"

All the demon generals were talking about it, and they were a little upset that Dong Li sent someone out at this time. After all, they had already discussed the plan to capture Qingkou Pass. When they were about to implement it, they would be interrupted, and no one would feel comfortable.

knock!knock!

Zhao Hua tapped Shuai's case with his fingers, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

Seeing that Zhao Hua was going to speak, all the demon generals shut their mouths. After the commander's tent became quiet, Zhao Hua said expressionlessly: "The soldiers will block the water and cover them with earth. No matter what Dong Li sent people to do, we will follow along with you." That is, and although we don’t have the right to decide the terms, we do have the right to negotiate the terms, if we think Dong Li’s terms are too much, we can refuse and proceed according to the original plan!”

"You're right!" Zhao Cun nodded.

PS: "Don't think that there are very few chapters per day. The volume of this chapter is [-] words. Generally, a chapter is [-] words. It's just that the author is lazy to divide chapters, so they are combined."

Chapter 687 Zhao Hua's Ridicule and Disdain!

"Go down first, Dong Li's envoy can be dealt with by myself!" Zhao Hua said calmly.

"Obey!" The eighteen devil generals all bent down and shouted.

Soon, the devil's eighteen knights left the tent, leaving only Zhao Hua alone. Taking advantage of the waiting time, Zhao Hua began to read the military parade.

Qingkou Camp of the Qin Army is only five miles away from the Yanqing Pass. Five miles say whether it is far or close, and when the scouts came to report, Dong Li's envoy was also on the way to the Qin Army Camp. In less than one or two sticks of incense, you can meet Dong Li's envoy.

After two sticks of incense time!

"Report!"

Zhao Hua's expected voice came from outside the tent.

"What's the matter, let's talk about it outside!" Zhao Hua said while reading the military parade book.

"To the General, there is a person outside the camp who claims to be the King of Yanming, Dong Li, and asks to see the General. I have checked his identity, and it is indeed the King of Yanming, Dong Li. He also brought more than a dozen guards. Will the General meet him?" A report came from outside the tent.

"Huh?" Zhao Hua frowned, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Dong Li came in person?

Zhao Hua knew that Dong Li would send someone, but he never expected that Dong Li would come in person!

uninvited guest!

"Remove the weapons of his guards, and then bring Yanming King Dong Li in!" Zhao Hua replied.

"As ordered!"

...

After a while, an elegant middle-aged man in white clothes came to the tent of the Qin Army commander under the leadership of a Qin Army officer. Seeing the person who came, Zhao Hua subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at him, and the person who came also looked at him.

"You are Yanming King Dong Li?" Zhao Hua asked, staring at the visitor.

Dong Li bowed and saluted with a smile on his face, and replied: "This is Dong Li, Ming King of the Great Yan Empire, and you must be the Great Northern General of the Zhengsanpin Township of the Great Qin Empire, right? You really have a handsome face. The hero of the Northwest Desert!"

"Haha!" Zhao Hua couldn't help laughing, and slandered in his heart: This King of Yan Ming, Dong Li, is really good at talking, and when he came up, he was flattered.

"Miao Zan, come here, bring a chair over here!"
