Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me for corruption

Chapter 21: Watching the bright moon and stars, we vow to destroy the Huns!

At night, Zulong stayed in the backyard of the remaining township government office.

After marching for several days, it was rare to find a roof to cover himself. Zulong took a hot bath under Zhao Gao's service and was about to rest.

"Father, today we captured many dead and injured horses. The Huotou Army cooked braised horse meat to provide night food for all the soldiers. Father, do you want some?"

Fusu's respectful voice sounded outside the door.

Ying Zheng turned over and sat up on the couch, saying firmly: "Eat!"

The 'Qin Mo style food' cooked by Huotou Army was the only fun he had during the march, and he would not miss it.

Zhao Gao, who was staying next to the couch, hurriedly opened the door and invited Fusu into the house.

Fusu took out an iron lunch box from his chest armor, opened the lid and presented the steaming braised horsemeat rice bowl to Ying Zheng's hand.

Ying Zheng was slightly stunned, frowned and said: "This box is burning hot, don't ever do it like this in the future."

This is what fathers do. Even though they feel relieved, they open their mouths to blame.

Fusu just agreed and took out the chopsticks and handed them over.

Ying Zheng buried his head in eating and said vaguely: "How is the battle today? Let me tell you in detail."

In the past, when the Qin army went out on an expedition, the censor would always accompany the army and supervise the army. Fu Su will follow the army out of the fortress this time, and he will be Qin Mo's supervisor.

"When I and the general arrived, the Huns cavalry were looting the town and were gathering to escape."

"The general ordered a thousand troops of light cavalry to intercept them, and use cavalry shooting against cavalry shooting."

"The light cavalry officers have strong bows and arrows that travel far, and they also have the advantage of high bridge saddles and stirrups. They can shoot and injure the Huns' horse archers from a distance."

"The Huns' archers wanted to get closer and fight back, but the light cavalry officers pulled them back. They frequently turned around and fired arrows to kill the approaching Hun cavalry."

"Finally, lure them to the heavy cavalry formation, throw thunder bombs to blow up their formation, and then the heavy cavalry charge head-on to break them..."

Fu Su detailed everything and told Ying Zheng Qin Mo's cavalry tactics.

Ying Zheng ate and listened, and after he finished speaking, he said: "No wonder Qin Qing strongly advocated using cavalry to attack the Xiongnu. The attack was indeed clean and tidy, and it was not in vain."

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the dried blood on Fusu's armor: "Why are you covered in blood when you didn't go into battle to fight?"

Fusu Sharan: "After the victory, my ministers and the general entered the town to collect the corpses of the people killed by the Huns. Unexpectedly, they encountered the stragglers."

"Perhaps the Xiongnu soldiers realized that I was an extraordinary person, so they hid in the house and attacked me secretly. Fortunately, the general was brave enough to protect my son and killed two Huns soldiers."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll never see my father again!"

The more Fusu said, the more scared he got, and his face turned a little pale.

Ying Zheng understood his feelings and did not blame him for being cowardly. He just said: "Back then, Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang used the pretext of presenting a plan to assassinate me. It was extremely dangerous."

"At that time, all the ministers were frightened and at a loss. Qin Qing was only the last general in the court, and was not allowed to wear a sword when he went to the palace. If he had not rushed up to the imperial court without hesitation, and broke Jing Ke's neck with his bare hands, I would have been in trouble!"

Fusu nodded repeatedly: "The bravery of a general is rare in ancient and modern times!"

"We, father and son, all owe him the debt of survival..."

Ying Zheng sighed again and asked, "Why don't you see Qin Qing coming over to eat with you?"

"The general took five hundred soldiers and the remaining people in the town to bury the murdered people," Fusu replied.

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he took a few bites of the rice bowl, stood up and said, "Zhao Gao, change my clothes and go take a look!"

…

…

Outside the town, there is a deserted slope.

When Ying Zheng arrived, escorted by soldiers, grave pits had been dug on the barren slope.

Qin Mo and the soldiers were helping the townspeople place the bodies in the graves.

There was no coffin in the hasty simplicity, and only the heads of more than a thousand Xiongnu were sacrificed!

Ying Zhengben stepped forward to speak, but stopped abruptly when he saw Qin Mo's face was gloomy and he buried a baby's body with his mother.

He turned around and told Fu Su to find a shovel, walked to Qin Mo's side, and helped cover it with soil!

The sad and weeping townspeople around them had already noticed Ying Zheng's arrival.

At this time, I saw him disregarding his status, and the majestic Qin Supreme Emperor personally died, burying his fellow villagers, and I couldn't help but have mixed feelings in my heart.

There are few people in Zhao who do not hate Qin. Qin and Zhao fought several battles successively, and generations of young and strong men in Zhao died at the hands of Qin.

But this time Yingzheng personally conquered the Xiongnu, making it clear that he was here to protect them, the people of Zhao.

Today they were trapped in Xiangya and were attacked by Xiongnu soldiers. If the Qin army had not arrived, they would have been defeated without any reason, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Even if we don’t talk about the righteousness of expelling the Yi and Di, we have to recognize the grace of survival!

…

Later, brand-new tombs were erected one after another, and a Jingguan with more than a thousand Xiongnu heads piled up was also built.

Ying Zheng took the lead in worshiping: "I deprived my people of their taxes and offerings, but I was unable to protect my people. As a result, my people were harmed by barbarians outside the Great Wall. I feel ashamed and ashamed."

"You guys rest in peace for now. Today's blood debt will be repaid ten thousand times by the barbarians outside the Great Wall."

"Looking at the bright moon and stars, I swear to destroy the Huns!"

Choking——

Ying Zheng pulled out his sword and cut his palm, smearing blood on his face, like a ferocious savage.

The remaining Zhao people and soldiers present followed suit.

Even Fusu, who is usually humble and gentle, has a ferocious air about him.

That is a kind of true nature of the Chinese people that uniquely belongs to this pre-Qin era, and it is also something that Qin Mo, a later generation, does not have.

It was precisely with this ferocity that the people of China developed a corner of the Zhou Dynasty into all the kingdoms of the Spring and Autumn Period, occupying all the sacred lands inside and outside!

…

After Ying Zheng completed the worship, he did not go back to rest. Instead, he followed Qin Mo to inspect the military camp outside the town.

It wasn't until late at night that Qin Mo had to stay in Shuai Zhang to guard the military camp, and Ying Zheng decided to return to the town to rest.

However, when they parted, Ying Zheng seemed to be hesitant to speak: "Qin Qing..."

Zulong has always been arrogant and domineering, and his words have never been reserved. Qin Mo felt strange because he was so hesitant.

"Your Majesty has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and suddenly looked directly into Qin Mo's eyes.

"I see that Qin Qing is free and easy in nature. He doesn't care much about the world's glory, fame and fortune. Even the power that others can't get, he doesn't seem to be very keen on it."

"You are as free and easy as a god, overlooking the world."

"However, you seem to have great compassion and kindness in your heart. Looking at the past and present, I have never heard of anyone who loves and respects the people of Guizhou like you. Not only have I seen them, but I have also heard of them."

"Why? Why are you so conflicted?"

This is the doubt that Ying Zheng has always had about Qin Mo.

Especially recently, the more he understood Qin Mo's character and habits, the more his doubts became more and more serious, bothering him all the time.

If he doesn't ask, he will drive himself crazy!

Qin Mo was stunned for a moment when he was asked. Seeing that Ying Zheng was staring at him and was very ready to ask the question, he could only hesitate and said: "Actually..."

Ying Zheng was anxious: "What is it actually?"

Qin Mo: "In fact, human nature is inherently contradictory. Why does Your Majesty think so much?"

Ying Zheng wanted to vomit blood: "..."

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that this is the reason. Why think about it if it is already contradictory!
