Chapter 552: Pushing horizontally for a hundred miles and stopping at Yanzhi Mountain
Keeping Ma Xing in the northwest is more in line with his own interests, and it is also more in line with the interests of Da Qin. In this way, the Guowei Mansion will most likely not object.
After all, Ma Xing is also a military commander of the Guowei Mansion. If he chooses someone else, the Guowei Mansion Office will want to manage it without even a name.
What's more, Wei Liao is a smart man. On this point, Ying Gao believes that Wei Liao will make the most correct decision.
In recent years, the rise of military families led by the Meng family and the Wang family has become unstoppable.
This is a good thing, but to a certain extent, this is not a good thing. The Guowei Mansion Office must be well aware of this matter.
Because of this, Ying Gao believed that the Guowei Mansion would definitely choose Ma Xing instead of Meng Yi.
After all, at this moment, he has the same interests as those instilled in him by the Guowei Mansion, and he, Ying Gao, is the son of Da Qin and the crown prince recognized by both the government and the public.
Moreover, Weuchang Temple was in Ying Gao's army, so he believed that Wei Liao would consider it carefully.
Wei Liao is an upright person, but choosing Ma Xing is not selfish. After all, Ma Xing is also one of the suitable candidates.
When he thought of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Ying Gao's mouth. The army pushed across thirty miles. This was not a difficult task, but it was destined to take a long time.
After all, thirty miles may take about an hour for the army to advance, not to mention that the Python Bird Army and the Wansheng Army Long Live Army are already exhausted.
If it weren't for the purpose of expanding the results of the battle, at this moment, Ying Gao would definitely order the army to set up camp and rest for a day before taking action again.
"Transmit the order: After the army has advanced for thirty miles, the Python Army will continue to advance for a hundred miles. With Wang Li as the main general, 50,000 Python Army will be stationed east of Yanzhi Mountain!"
Ying Gao looked at Tie Ying and pondered for a while, then his eyes fell on the map, and his tone became extremely solemn: "At the same time, Meng Liao was ordered to be thirty miles away, and he was advancing a hundred miles away, and Wan Sheng's army was stationed.
Big fight to pull the valley!”
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Tie Ying turned around and left.
At this moment, Fan Zeng came over, boarded the cloud chariot, smiled and said: "General Ying, this battle is a great victory, the northwest will be peaceful soon, my subordinates congratulate General Ying!"
"Sir, you are ridiculous. We just defeated the Great Yuezhi army. There is still a long way to go before we can pacify the northwest. How can it be accomplished overnight?"
Ying Gao chuckled lightly and shook his head: "I am not unaware of this. It is not easy to see this place completely reduced to the territory of Great Qin!"
"After this battle, I will not be far from going south to the extreme south. Sir, looking at the entire northwest, who can take charge of the northwest after I go south?"
Hearing this, Fan Zeng's eyes flickered, he smiled at Ying Gao and said, "General Ying already has a candidate in mind, so why bother asking me!"
Fan Zeng knew in his heart that with Ying Gao's character, he could not fail to think of someone to take charge of the northwest.
"I do have a candidate in my mind, but the northwest is an important area after all, and it is a newly occupied territory. I will inevitably have some doubts in my heart. Please tell me sir!"
Fan Zeng is a man of great talent, and Ying Gao is naturally unwilling to let him go. Although he thinks Ma Xing is good, getting Fan Zeng's recognition can make him feel more at ease.
A wise man will make a mistake every time he thinks!
Ying Gao had reached the point where he had to guard against anything. At this moment, Ying Gao looked at Fan Zeng, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Hearing this, Fan Zeng hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand towards Ying Gaoyi and said: "Looking at the generals under General Ying's command, they are all generals who are good at fighting."
"But to sit in the northwest, you not only need to be invincible militarily, but you also need to have political expertise and be able to educate one side."
"There are not many such people under General Ying's command. Even including General Ying, there are only three of them."
"I think that General Ying will need to go south to the extreme south. I am also the same. Only Ma Xing is suitable -!"
Glancing at Fan Zeng, Ying Gao nodded. He also thought Ma Xing was suitable. After all, Ma Xing could also be a general and go into battle to kill the enemy.
Rather than being like Fan Zeng, he is mostly a strategist. Even though he kills decisively, it still makes people worry.
"Sir, make a copy of the book for me and go to the official office of Guowei Mansion to tell Wei Liao about the matter."
"At the same time, I am writing a letter to the Xianyang Palace. In the name of guarding the northwest, please give me the name of General Ma Xing and command an army of 200,000 to guard the northwest counties."
To command an army of 200,000, one can either be named Marquis of Qinghai or Marquis of Zhenxi, or command the three armies as a general.
Nowadays, Ma Xing's merits are not enough to be awarded the title of marquis, so he can only ask for the position of general in order to achieve justice.
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Fan Zeng sighed in his heart, Ma Xing became a general and commanded an army of 200,000, which would greatly increase Ying Gao's power.
Moreover, both Wang Hu and Meng Liao and others had made gains in this battle, so it was not difficult to be promoted to a noble title.
When he went south to the extreme south and his army swept across the six kingdoms of Shandong, his outstanding military exploits were enough to make him a marquis.
After taking a deep look at Fan Zeng, Ying Gao smiled and said: "Thanks to your merits, sir, after this battle, you will definitely be promoted to several titles."
"We, the Qin Dynasty, never treat meritorious ministers unkindly!"
Fan Zeng has a great talent, and such a person is destined to be crowned a marquis and shine on the family lintel. In the Qin Dynasty, as long as you are stunning enough, there is no one who cannot be crowned a marquis.
Da Qin was a relatively fair court in China for five thousand years. As long as you had real talent and knowledge, you would definitely be granted the title of marquis and the prime minister.
…
"General Ying, the Long Live Army has withdrawn and returned..." At this time, Tie Ying came over and bowed solemnly to Ying Gao and said.
"This is the general's order to order doctors to dispatch to treat the injured and disabled soldiers of the Long Live Army, and then order the Long Live Army to rest for half an hour. After half an hour, clean the battlefield and bury the corpses!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Tie Ying turned around and left. A light appeared in Ying Gao's eyes and disappeared in a flash.
This is already the territory of Great Qin. If the corpses are left here, it will definitely lead to an outbreak of plague. He must clean the battlefield and bury the corpses.
"Rivers of blood flowed and corpses piled into mountains. Even if we were victorious in this battle, our army's casualties would probably reach an unprecedented number."
Fan Zeng was filled with emotions. He knew in his heart that the number of casualties of the army this time must be a level never seen since Ying Gao led the army on the expedition.
A head-on confrontation is basically a fight with your life.
Looking at the blood and mud on the ground and the mountains of corpses, Ying Gao sighed and said: "This is war. Once you enter the battlefield, life or death depends on luck."
"With such nourishment from blood and corpses, the water and grass here will be extremely lush next spring, enough to feed more cattle and sheep."
At this point, Ying Gao changed the topic and said to Tie Ying on the side: "Tie Ying, order Weichang Temple to count the casualties of the army, and then the Huotou Army will bury the pot and make rice..."
