General Qin

Chapter 709 Zhaowu

After the court meeting ended, Zhao Tuo kept observing the movements of the First Emperor.

Fortunately, after several days passed, the First Emperor did not mention the issue of sending troops to attack Shendu. It seemed that he was dissuaded by the ministers, which made Zhao Tuo's heart drop to the ground.

"The body poison is too far away and cannot be defeated by the current Qin State. Moreover, the war has lasted for too long. I only hope that after the war between Haidong and Yuezhi is over, the emperor can temporarily stop and give the country time to breathe."

Zhao Tuo looked towards the east and west directions.

Counting the time, these two wars should be over, right?

Qin's territory will expand outwards again.

In the center of Hexi, the land is fertile and the water and grass are luxuriant enough to compare with the green grassland at the foot of Helan Mountain.

A small city built of rammed earth stands here.

Zhaowu City.

This is where the Yuezhi Royal Court is located, and it is also the only city within hundreds of miles.

Like Touman City built by the Huns at the foot of Yin Mountain, Zhaowu City was the political and religious center of the entire Yueshi.

Under normal circumstances, during the sacrificial month of each year, the five Xihous of the Yuezhi tribe would come to Zhaowu City to hold a meeting to worship the gods that the Yuezhi people believed in.

At the same time, various Xihous will hold meetings under the auspices of King Yuezhi to mediate conflicts, divide pastures, and conduct a series of various political discussions.

It's just that the current Zhaowu City has just experienced a bloody battle of blood and fire. The screams of pain and pain are soaring to the sky, and the blood of corpses on the ground has made this sacred city in the hearts of the Yuezhi people covered with a blood-colored veil.

Qin General Wang Li was sitting on a war horse, with a mighty Qin army infantry formation behind him, and in front of him were the kneeling nobles of the two months clan.

"The villain, Gao Fuzhenli, paid homage to General Wang. The villain has always admired the mighty virtues of the Qin Dynasty and is willing to surrender to the Qin Dynasty. Now I present to General Wang and the great emperor the heads of King Yuezhi and Marquis Dunxi. I hope General Wang will accept it."

"Okay, Gaofu Xihou is able to understand the situation and understand the truth. He led his troops to join us in the Qin Dynasty. He also killed the Yuezhi King and Gudun Xihou. This is a great achievement. I will be the emperor and I will be rewarded in the future!"

Wang Li said, then turned to look at Xiumi Xihou, who was kneeling next to him with a nervous expression on his face, and nodded: "Xiumi Xihou can help our Great Qin to capture the Yuezhi, which is also a great achievement. It can not only offset the past sins, but There should be a reward, and I, the Qin Dynasty, will not treat Marquis Xiumi badly."

Xiu Mihou was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you so much, General Wang."

"Um."

Wang Li looked at the two heads placed in front of the two Xihous.

Especially the old head still wearing the crown, Wang Li looked at it again and again, his eyes full of excitement.

King of the Yuezhi.

Hou Dunxi.

It's all here.

Except for the Yuezhi prince who took advantage of the chaos and escaped with some people, the entire Yuezhi power was basically wiped out and surrendered.

Wang Li captured Zhaowu City, destroyed the Yuezhi, occupied Hexi for the Qin Dynasty, and expanded the land thousands of miles away. This was a great achievement!

"Father, I did not disappoint you!"

Wang Li spoke to Wang Jian's spirit in his heart.

He turned his head, looked at the woman sitting on the horse next to him, and said in a deep voice: "The reason why this battle was a complete victory is because the Marquis of Xi has made great contributions. I should regard myself as the Marquis of Xi and report my merits to the emperor."

Sujiasha laughed. She had already been named the Yuezhi female Xihou by the First Emperor, and her status in the Qin army was comparable to that of a general.

"General Wang is wrong. The reason why we can win this battle is firstly because of the might of the Qin army. Without the support of the powerful Qin army behind us, no matter how eloquent I am, I will not be able to persuade Gao Fu and Xiumi." Lord Xi comes to vote."

"Secondly, it is thanks to General Wang's foresight that he was able to wait for the opportunity and achieve great success in one fell swoop. If one of these two were missing, neither would have been able to achieve this great victory. Therefore, my contribution was only minor, and it was General Wang who took the greatest credit. "

Sugatha gave the great credit back to Wang Li.

Wang Li shook his head and said, "Of course I am very aware of the achievements of Marquis Xi."

Looking at the beautiful Yuezhi female Xihou, Wang Li had a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He knew very well that this time the Qin army could defeat Yuezhi in one go, obtain the surrender of two Yuezhi Xihous, and behead the Yuezhi king and another Xihou. Everything was inseparable from Sugasha. of credit.

At that time, after the Qin army entered Hexi, Qiang Yu and other lieutenants were eager to make contributions, and they believed that the Yueshi were defeated by Wugong Hou, so they must be frightened and timid and their combat power was low.

Therefore, it is advocated to immediately use a large army to suppress the situation, go straight to the Yuezhi Zhaowu City, have a decisive battle with the Yuezhi people, and win the final victory.

Because of the great victory of the Qin army in Henan, many generals became arrogant. In addition, the expedition was assisted by the recruited Guiyi Yuezhi and Guiyi Xiongnu, so they all thought that the broken Yuezhi did not need to worry. Just crush it directly.

"General Xiao Wang, you are afraid of a bird. With my help, I, Qiang Yu, will ensure that you win the battle!"

Wang Li still remembered the way Qiang Yu patted his chest to make sure of his promise, and everything was vivid in his mind.

However, he still decided to ask Sujiasha, the daughter of the Yuezhi, the Marquis of Xi, for her opinion.

Sugatha believed that although three of the Yuezhi were lost, the remaining Yuezhi royal court and two Jihou were still powerful and could recruit an army of nearly 100,000. They were enemies that should not be underestimated.

Rather than expending strength in a decisive battle with the Yuezhi, it is better to use the power of the Qin army's victory to instigate rebellion against the Yuezhi nobles and reduce the damage to the Qin army.

She advocated contacting Xiu Mihou, who had fled back to Zhaowu City, and used his tribe captured by the Qin army to lure and threaten him to join the Qin camp.

Then we can use this as an opportunity to find opportunities to defeat the Yueshi.

After thinking about it, Wang Li agreed to this decision.

Lieutenant General Qiang Yu beat his chest and stamped his feet on the spot to express his dissatisfaction.

"Xiao General Wang, do you know that in the army, General Wang trusted me the most? Every time he had a big battle, he always listened to my advice, so he was always victorious in every battle!"

"You don't believe me now, but instead believe in a Yuezhi woman. I think you are obsessed with women!"

Qiangxu, relying on his seniority and thinking about fighting and making meritorious deeds, naturally disagreed with Sujatha's strategy.

If Sugatha's plan really succeeded, would Qiang Yu still be able to make great achievements?

Wang Li rolled his eyes at this.

He still chose to follow the advice of Marquis Wugong when he was in Xianyang and let Sujatha carry out her plan.

In order to get the best results, Sugatha sneaked into the royal court and convinced the Marquis of Xiumi.

Although Xiumi Xihou's tribe was lost in Helan, his status in the Yuezhi was greatly reduced.

But he is still a Xihou after all, especially since he once led a large army to fight the Qin people and knows the specific combat power of the Qin army. Therefore, Xiu Mihou was often summoned by the Yuezhi King to discuss ways to deal with the Qin army, and he knew the Yuezhi's situation well.

With Xiumi Xihou as the internal response, Wang Li and Sujiasha quickly figured out the attitude of the Yuezhi King and the remaining two Yuezhi Xihous.

Among them, King Yuezhi and Hou Dunxi were both die-hard war factions and could not surrender to the Qin army.

However, Gaofu Xihou was a cowardly person. He was afraid of the might of the Qin army and wanted to preserve the strength of his tribe. He was an ideal target of persuasion.

With the help of Marquis Xiumi Xi, Sujiasha successfully persuaded Marquis Gaofu Xi, making the Yuezhi of Gaofu tribe become the internal support of the Qin army.

When everything was ready, this special battle began.

Gaofu Xihou and Xiumi Xihou jointly found an excuse to invite King Yuezhi and Godun Xihou to a large tent outside the city for a banquet.

At the banquet, the dead soldiers of the Gaofu tribe beheaded King Yuezhi and Hou Dunxi on the spot.

The entire Zhaowu City was in chaos, and the Yuezhi of the Gaofu tribe took the opportunity to launch an attack.

At the same time, the Qin army received the news and sent cavalry to attack from the outside.

In addition, the two leaders of the Yuezhi King and Yudun Xihou were killed on the spot. The Yuezhi people were leaderless and were either killed or surrendered.

Only Prince Yuezhi rushed out to the west under the protection of a group of loyal nobles, and was now being chased angrily by the Qin general Qiang Yu.

General Qiang Yu still wants to achieve great achievements.

In short, the Qin army easily won this victory.

The Yuezhi power, which had nearly 100,000 bow-drawing people, was conquered by the Qin army led by Wang Li.

Although it took a long time, the loss of soldiers was not great.

All of this is naturally inseparable from Sugatha's contribution.

Facing Wang Li's admiring gaze, Sugatha pursed her lips and smiled.

She turned her head and looked east towards Xianyang.

Another Qin general appeared in his mind.

"General."
