General Qin

August.

After entering autumn, the scorching sun covering the entire grassland recedes, and the weather gradually turns cooler.

A long procession went south from the grassland in the north, heading towards Helan.

The number of this team is about 50,000 to 60,000. They are all dressed in leather, covered with zhān (zhān) fur, and have pointed leather hats on their heads.

They rode on horses, yelled from time to time, waved their whips, and drove hundreds of thousands of cattle, horses and livestock along the way. The scene was very grand.

Su Jiasha was riding on a white horse, looking at the endless herd of livestock in front of her with a cold face.

This is why the Qin army was besieged on three sides, leaving the west alone, and the Xiumi Yue clan did not dare to go west to the quicksand desert.

Hundreds of thousands of livestock need a huge amount of fodder and drinking water every day. There is nothing in the desert. Once they enter, these hundreds of thousands of livestock will die violently within a few days, and then the old and weak, women and children will be there one by one. die.

Even if there are young and strong people who can cross the vast desert and return to Hexi in the end, it is meaningless. Without the secret department of the tribe and livestock, there is no need to survive.

As for fighting the Qin army to the end, it is a dead end.

Only surrender is the only way out for the Secret Department.

"Your lady, why don't we ask the Qin people for conditions? We still have 20,000 warriors in our hands. I think the Qin people are very afraid of this. If we propose some conditions, they will definitely agree."

Ya Guda followed with his horse and asked worriedly.

Xihou Hou of Xiumi abandoned his clansmen and fled south after the First World War in Helan, causing the entire Yue clan of the Xiumi tribe to fall into chaos. Overwhelmed by the shadow brought by Qin Jun.

At this time, Su Jiasha came here with the token of Houmi Xihou and the cronies of Xihou, and declared that he would replace Xihou to save the lives of their people.

Next, this woman used superb power tactics, borrowing the fear of the Qin army from the Secret Ministry to win over some nobles, and decisively killed some rebels.

In just two days, she had mastered the entire Hidden Department, convincing everyone, and pinned their hope of survival on her.

Is it really a good choice to just surrender unconditionally to the Qin army?

Su Jiasha turned her head and saw the worried expressions of Ya Guda and the secret nobles, she knew she had to speak to appease.

She explained patiently.

"The general of Qin has the wisdom of a fox and the strength of a bear. He is very strong and cunning. He deliberately made an impulsive gesture during the battle before, abandoning the other two Qin armies and entering the grassland, luring the three Xihous to go. As a result, our army fell into the trap of the Qin people. The two armies of the Qin people took the opportunity to occupy the Dahe Ferry on the north and south sides, blocked our retreat road, and completed the siege of us. From the beginning of this war, It is this Qin general who dominates everything."

All the nobles nodded their heads.

Now that the war has been fought, they have already realized that they are the prey that foolishly jumped into the hunter's trap. They feel fear and fear of the Qin people in their hearts. This is one of the reasons why they are willing to follow Su Jiasha to surrender to the Qin people.

Su Jiasha continued: "This general has wisdom beyond ordinary people and knows what to do to obtain greater benefits. Therefore, after the Helan War, the Qin Army did not kill the people of my Guishuang tribe, and even kept Losing their livestock property is an attitude in itself."

"The generals of the Qin State are waiting for us to surrender, and at the same time they are using the Guishuang Department to hint to us that after surrendering, they can keep their property like the Guishuang people."

"So we surrendered to the Qin army, even if we didn't put forward any conditions, General Qin would treat us like Guishuang's clansmen, and even because we surrendered voluntarily, the treatment we got would only be better."

"Since we can save our lives without asking for conditions, why do we have to ask? It is better to show our loyalty by making more submissive actions, so as to obtain greater benefits."

"No condition is the biggest condition."

Su Jiasha said calmly.

The nobles of Xiumi were thoughtful, and one of them was still a little worried: "Your lady's words are naturally good, but what if the Qin people treat Guishuang kindly? It's an illusion? It's an illusion to tempt us to surrender to them. Once we Surrender, maybe they will reveal their ferocious true colors and degrade us as slaves."

Su Jiasha shook her head and smiled: "No."

"He is a wise man and an ambitious man. This grassland surrounded by great rivers will not be the end of the Qin people."

Su Jiasha turned her head and looked in Helan's direction.

"The horseshoes of the people of Qin will surely step over the water of the great river, galloping in the territory of the Yuezhi and under the Yin Mountains in the north."

...

Two days later, Helan Grassland.

Fifty thousand infantrymen of the Qin army stood in a neat square formation on the grassland holding spears and halberds. There are also 10,000 fully armed Qin cavalry on each side, facing the northeast, waiting for the descendants from the north.

Standing on the chariot, Zhao Tuo raised his eyes and saw a large black shadow appearing on the horizon in the distance.

"General, this Su Jiasha is very smart and scheming. She chose to surrender to us unconditionally. It is because she is sure that the general will not attack them. It is a good move to retreat and advance. You should be more careful. "

Chen Ping was riding on the horse next to him, and his words were full of fear.

Zhao Tuo smiled and said lightly: "Chen Sheng, you have to remember. In this world, everything depends on strength. When you have mastered absolute strength, you won't be afraid of these so-called cleverness."

A moment later, under the escort and surveillance of the cavalry of the Qin Army, dozens of Yuezhi cavalry came here on horseback.

They are the nobles of the Xiumi Yuezhi, belonging to the ruling class of the tribe, and they will surrender on behalf of the entire Xiumi Yuezhi.

Wait until about two hundred meters in front of the Qin army's formation.

The originally quiet Qin army formation suddenly moved.

Countless spears and halberds were held high, and tens of thousands of Qin soldiers shouted together.

"Qin!"

"Qin!"

"Qin!"

There is only one word, but the rolling sound makes people's ears ring and tremble, like thunder in the clear sky, rumbling on the grassland.

The tens of war horses were frightened, and the faces of the Yue clan nobles on the horses were all pale, and some even trembled from the fearful power, and fell off the horses on the spot.

After the deafening sound, all the nobles of the Yue clan dismounted, kneeling tremblingly towards the direction of the Qin army with terrified expressions.

Zhao Tuo's gaze fell on the woman from the Yue clan at the front.

With slightly blond hair tied behind her, she is tall and graceful, with tall and straight features and a strong exotic style.

With such a peculiar appearance, people can't forget it at a glance.

Su Jiasha knelt and walked to the front of the Qin army, looking at Zhao Tuo on the chariot with blue eyes.

She already knew from Ya Guda's mouth that the "Chen Ping" she saw when she entered the fortress was the general of Qin.

Therefore, facing Zhao Tuo who was standing on the chariot accepting the surrender at this moment, Su Jiasha was full of depression and fear.

Not only because of her present status as a surrender, but also because she was facing a wise man, and when she was stared at by the general, she had a feeling of being seen through by him.

Su Jiasha held a golden cane high in both hands.

It was a token of Xihou's power that Xiumi Xihou gave her before parting with her. She was able to successfully control the secret department, and this thing also played a role in it. Now that she surrendered to the Qin army, she naturally wanted to dedicate it to the general of Qin.

"Su Jiasha, the daughter of the humble concubine Guishuang, was entrusted by the Marquis of Xiumi Xi to lead the Yue family of the Xiumi department. If today's army conquers the grassland, the gods are so powerful. The concubine is willing to raise the people of Xiumi to surrender to the general. Since then Afterwards, the Xiumi Department obeyed the orders of the Great Qin Emperor and the general."

Su Jiasha lowered her head, held up the golden staff, and made a gesture of surrender.

Behind her, the nobles from the Secret Department also spoke two sentences of Qin dialect they had just learned on the road, stumbling and shouting: "We would like to surrender to the emperor of Qin, and we would like to surrender to the general."

Zhao Tuo stood on the chariot, with the corner of his mouth slightly hooked up.

This Su Jiasha opened her mouth as a "bad concubine" and shut up as a "heavenly army", but she has a deep understanding of Qin culture.

"Very well, since you know the destiny and the current affairs, and are willing to send your tribe to Qin, you will naturally treat them kindly."

Zhao Tuo spoke lightly, and gave these Yuezhi people a promise of "treating them kindly".

At the same time, Chen Ping on the side stepped forward and took the golden cane representing the rights of the Secret Ministry from Su Jiasha's raised hand, which was considered to have officially accepted their surrender.

"Thank you, General Ende, we will be Great Qin Eagle Dogs, and we will never rebel from generation to generation."

Su Jiasha hurriedly bowed her head in response.

Although the nobles from the Xiumi Department didn't understand Qin Yu, they knew that Qin Jun didn't mean to embarrass them when they saw Chen Ping took the cane and Su Jiasha spoke calmly. They were overjoyed and kissed Zhao Tuo with their mouths. Dirt in front of the car.

If Zhao Tuo was standing on the ground at this moment, they would probably rush up one by one and kiss his toes to show their submission.

"Well, Chen Sheng, the secret department will be handed over to you and Xiao He."

Zhao Tuo opened his mouth to give orders.

Xiao He is now in charge of logistics and military affairs, and is responsible for handling the affairs of the herdsmen in the Secret Department.

Chen Ping wanted to select the young and strong from them, and form a Yuezhi cavalry just like the Guishuang Department.

After Zhao Tuo surrendered at the Ministry of Secrets, he still had the task of taking all of Henan, and at the same time sent a military report to the emperor of Xianyang. There were many things to do, so naturally he would not waste too much time on dealing with these surrenders.

As for Su Jiasha who was kneeling on the ground, although Zhao Tuo felt that she had some abilities, she was just a surrendered alien woman, and Zhao Tuo didn't think too much about it.

Seeing that General Qin handed himself and the Xiumi tribe to "True Chen Ping" next to him after accepting the surrender, Su Jiasha's heart beat faster.

General Qin is not interested in her. According to this trend, it is very likely that he will never see her again in the future.

This surrender ceremony is likely to be her last and greatest chance.

"Only by providing corresponding value to Qin can we get a higher status."

Su Jiasha whispered in her heart.

She is a person who is good at seizing opportunities.

Seeing that Zhao Tuo started to leave, Su Jiasha immediately called out.

"General, this concubine can help the Great Qin Heavenly Army defeat the Xiongnu and eliminate the Yuezhi!"

"Let the flag of Daqin be planted all over the grassland!"
