General Qin

The place of superintendent.

The most fertile land in the country of Yan, as Jing Ke said when he presented the map, is fertile and wild for thousands of miles, rich in products, and can be compared to the Guanzhong Plain of Qin.

In addition to being a fertile land, Dukang's geographical location is also very important. Its two ends, the upper capital Jicheng in the northeast, and the lower capital Wuyang in the southwest, can be called the heart of Yan State.

Now with the fall of Wuyang, this fertile land has revealed her true face under the veil.

Led by Li Xin, the Qin army set foot on the land their king longed for.

But to Li Xin's disappointment, he did not encounter the Yan army who came to fight and resist, and even the small towns along the way were not defended by Yan soldiers.

Faced with the Qin army's crossing, most cities opened their doors and surrendered, and those who did not surrender were just a charge.

So in just two or three days, Li Xin's troops arrived in front of Zhuoyi City.

Zhuoyi.

It was also called Zhuolu in ancient times. It was the place where the Xuanyuan clan and Chi You fought in ancient times. It is located in the heart of Dukang, only a hundred miles away from Jidu of Yan State. The geographical location is very important.

As long as the Qin army takes down here, they can use Zhuoyi as a base to garrison food, grass, soldiers and horses, and become a bridgehead to attack Jidu, which can be attacked and defended.

Li Xin originally thought that Zhuoyi was so important that it would be guarded by heavy troops from the State of Yan, and a tough battle would be inevitable. Unexpectedly, when he was gearing up to bring his troops, Zhuoyi Ling opened the door and surrendered.

Seeing Zhuoyi Ling in front of the city with a flattering smile on his face, Li Xin was very helpless, but he could only accept it.

The main purpose of their revitalizing army is to capture Zhuoyi, and divide troops to occupy important villages and settlements along the way to ensure the safety of the follow-up army.

After occupying Zhuoyi, Li Xin began to divide his troops to garrison the main roads of various villages and towns.

Although the Zhuoyi Order surrendered, he had no control over whether Liju, the surrounding villages, followed suit. This place is the heart of the Yan Kingdom, and many of the nobles and elders in the villages are the nobles of the Yan Kingdom for generations. Before the fall of the Yan Kingdom, there may be some people who are ignorant of current affairs and will follow them stubbornly to the end.

"One village and one city, stationed in traffic."

Li Xin divided his troops into a village of 50 men, and most of the young and strong in Yan State were expropriated. A fully armed soldier in a village was enough to take down a village.

"We finally got a good job this time. It's a small town, and it's not easy to take it with our troops. I hope those Yan people don't surrender directly. It's better to resist, so that we can Wouldn’t it be great if we could kill him, as long as one person cuts off his head, everyone can be promoted to a higher rank.”

Black Butt was carrying a spear, walking on the country road, shaking his head, smiling happily at the thought of being promoted to the title.

His words resonated with everyone in Xintun, and the soldiers in the village laughed and talked about what they could do if they got the title.

Zhao Tuo rolled his eyes at Hei Hip, and he went straight to stand on a big rock, clapped his hands, and signaled everyone in the village to be quiet and listen to him.

"I, Zhao Tuo, understand how you all want to make meritorious service."

"When we get to the place, if the Yan people in the villages dare to resist us, everyone can rush to kill and cut off their heads for meritorious service. But if the Yan people do not use force, you must not act rashly, let alone do anything to women and children. You must listen. I give orders. If someone wants to gain military merits, use force without permission to provoke disputes, please intervene!"

"exist!"

"If there is such a thing, we will use the law of war and kill this kind of person on the spot!"

"only."

Shejian responded and scanned the audience.

Seeing his cold gaze, everyone in the village couldn't help trembling, lowered their heads and remained silent.

After getting along with each other for this period of time, everyone knows that Shejian is powerful. Although this dead face is usually silent, but his hands are absolutely ruthless. As long as someone dares to violate Zhao Tuo's order, Shejian will definitely kill people on the spot.

There is a saying in the method of the Qin army's battle and punishment: if the chief of the village is punished, he will punish ten people.

With Zhao Tuo's authorization, Shejian can kill anyone who violates the order.

Heibutt reacted the fastest, and he immediately said sternly: "The head of the village is right, if anyone dares to provoke a dispute, I will be the first one not to let him go, without waiting for Chief Shejian to do it. Definitely poke his ass!"

Zhao Tuo snorted coldly and got off the stone only after seeing everyone's assurances.

It can't be done otherwise, Zhao Tuo was born as a Zhao man, and he knows very well that Yan Zhao's scholars are generous and elegiac, and if they disagree with each other, they can draw their swords against each other.

Although the people of Yan are afraid of the power of the Qin army, they all surrendered in surrender, but if someone bullies them too much, those Yan men will inevitably have a bloody surge and a bloody battle.

Now that he is leaving the large army and going deep into a foreign country, Zhao Tuo must strictly control the team and cannot tolerate any mistakes.

After being warned by him, everyone in Xintun became more honest and marched in a regular manner all the way, not daring to talk nonsense anymore.

The place they are going to is called Gubo Township, which is an important township east of Zhuoyi.

Compared with the turmoil of the war on the front line of Wuyang, the field of Dukang still maintained some short-term calm behind the battlefield.

Walking on the mountain road, Zhao Tuo saw women and old people busy in the fields, and from time to time, children were chasing and playing in the fields.

It's April, and it's time for spring plowing.

Most of the men were conscripted to the battlefield, but the fields still had to be planted. Old and weak women and children went to the fields to tend the seedlings. Only in this way could they get a bite of food from the fields in the second half of the year.

"Qin Jun, it's Qin Jun!"

First, a few children saw the traces of Zhao Tuo and others and shouted.

Immediately afterwards, those women and old people also saw it. They screamed, turned and ran, and some young millet and wheat seedlings that had just been planted were trampled down by their panicked footsteps.

"Why run away, Nai Gong won't eat you. And what nonsense are you talking about."

Black Butt pursed his lips, staring at the women's buttocks into the distance, until they disappeared into the field, he reluctantly looked away.

Zhao Tuo frowned slightly, Hei Hip's words reminded him of one thing.

That is, except for him in Xintunli, no one else could understand what the Yan people said.

Yanzhao is adjacent to each other, and their accents are similar. As an aristocrat, Zhao Tuo had learned some Yan language, so he could understand the cries of those women and children. But these are all authentic Guanzhong Qin people.

There is a saying that goes, “Ten miles have different sounds, but hundreds of miles have different languages”.

In the same county, people in different townships have different accents. If it is separated by counties, it will be very difficult to communicate, and if it is farther away, it will really have to guess.

Qin Yin is similar to the Zhou Dynasty's elegant words, and the people of Yan can probably understand Qin Jun's words. But the words of Yan people are like talking to Qin Jun, especially those ordinary Yan people who can't speak elegant words.

The communication problem is very serious.

At this time, Xi Qigu came over and whispered: "Tun Chief, these people should be from Uncle Gu Township. Once they go back to report the news, the people in the township will definitely be prepared. We must rush there as soon as possible, before the gate of the village is closed. Take it down, it will be troublesome if the country gate is closed."

"Well, you're right."

Zhao Tuo nodded, Xiqigu was born as a village official, so he is very familiar with this aspect.

He hurriedly ordered everyone to run in marching ranks, and headed straight for the village along the main road.

Xiqigu's worries did not materialize.

The gate of Gubo Township is wide open, and a group of people are waiting there...

Thanks to Legrette von Liszt for the reward, thank you!
