Nodding in agreement, the lieutenant shouted: "The general has an order: young women and young men, anyone who is armed with a sharp knife, kill——!"
"puff......."
Under Qin Jian, there was not a single survivor.
The people holding the Qin sword did not have any sympathy at all, because they all knew that their pity was the irresponsibility of the officers and soldiers of Qin and the people of Qin.
When the time comes, countless soldiers and people will die because of this trace of mercy and kindness.
Therefore, there is no need for mercy at this time, and these people have made military achievements.
This is the military law formulated by Ying Gao himself.
Regarding aliens, especially those who refused to surrender, Ying Gao had only one thought in his mind, and that was to kill them without mercy.
Only dead people are no threat!
He had understood this truth since that year in Jiuyuan, not to mention now after many years of training in the battlefield.
Therefore, there is such a rule in the military.
…
An hour later, Army Sima hurried over, raised his hands towards Meng Liaoyi, and said, "General, the war is over. Do you want to join forces with General Ying?"
Hearing this, Meng Liao raised his head and glanced at the sky, then considering that the army had just tried its best to kill, he nodded and said: "Send the army to rest on the spot for half an hour, and then join forces with General Ying!"
"There are a lot of cattle and sheep in this tribe, and the Huotou Army makes rice in pots!"
"promise."
When marching and fighting on the grassland, it is far more convenient to collect local materials than to carry dry food, and the dried meat carried by the army is actually the spoil of war during the war.
The Python Bird Army, the Wan Sheng Army, and the Long Live Army were rampaging in the northwest, eating a terrifying number of sheep every day, and the horses and cattle were sent to Xihai County for domestication.
For Da Qin, there is no shortage of sheep, but cattle and horses are truly rare things, especially cattle, which are too important for a country that mainly relies on farming.
Even the king of Qin, Ying Zheng, was reluctant to kill a young cow.
After all, cattle are so important to farming.
When Ying Gao led his army into the northwest, he issued an order that mutton could be eaten freely, but horses and cattle could not be eaten. In fact, Ying Gao immediately invited domestication masters from Xianyang to tame them.
As a result, it was continuously transported to various parts of the Qin State. This was one of the reasons why Yinggao set up an army in the northwest and achieved great military success by himself, but the Qin Dynasty and the public did not say much.
For Xianyang, following Ying Gao's expedition to the northwest, it brought too many benefits to the Qin Dynasty.
Not only cattle and sheep, but also land and slaves. In addition to the initial need for the court to raise food and grass for Yinggao to use troops, once the war started, he was basically self-sufficient and pursued a strategy of supporting war with war.
The battle of Ying Gao did not cause Great Qin to lose its national power. On the contrary, the greater the country's power, the stronger it became. This is the reason why the whole Qin government and the public agreed that Ying Gao rose step by step.
Meng Liao naturally knew this truth. Ying Gao had explained it to him and Wang Hu at the beginning, and they had always kept it in mind.
At this moment, when I think of the Yuezhi tribe, I naturally think of this incident.
.........
Fifth watch time.
Meng Liao led Wan Sheng's army and female slaves to join Ying Gao's troops. At this moment, the three armies of Qin completed their final assembly.
"The last general Meng Liao led the Wan Sheng army to pay homage to General Ying——!" Walking into the shogunate, Meng Liao raised his hand towards Ying Gaoyi and said.
This time he led an army to attack, but not only did he fail to catch up with King Dayuezhi, he also failed to achieve any military exploits. Seeing Ying Gao at this moment, Meng Liao felt a little ashamed.
"General Ying, the last general is incompetent and failed to catch up with King Dayuezhi. Please punish me General Ying!"
Glancing at Meng Liao, Ying Gao shook his head. This was not a defeat, so there was no punishment. Although Ying Gao had a strong personality, he was not so domineering.
"Go down and rest!"
"After the army rested, I planned to lead the army to push across the river and wait on the side of the weak water for King Da Yuezhi to surrender!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Meng Liao turned around and left. The atmosphere in the shogunate was heavy, as if a strong wind was falling suddenly and a storm was coming.
Ying Gao said these words, which meant that the war was bound to break out, and it was a drastic action to cripple the Dayue clan in one fell swoop.
"General Ying, Qin Hui is still several days away from Wusun, and there is no news coming from the direction of Xianyang. Is it too fast to advance at this moment?"
A look of solemnity flashed across Wang Hu's eyes. Due to Fan Zeng's absence in the past few days, he had been staying with Ying Gao, so he naturally knew what Ying Gao was thinking.
But when Meng Liao arrived, he found that Ying Gao had changed his strategy. He was a little puzzled and couldn't help but said to Ying Gao.
"The Da Yuezhi has so many pastures. As long as the core interests of the Da Yuezhi are not touched, the king of the Da Yuezhi will definitely tolerate it!"
"Unless it is absolutely necessary, we will never fight to the death with our army. As you said, there are still several days before the Qin Hui reaches Wusun, and there is no news from Xianyang."
Ying Gao's eyes fell on the map, and then he looked at Wang Li, Weichang Temple and others, and said: "Is it possible that our army has been staying here these days?"
"Wusun is just a move planned by the general in advance to constrain the Great Yueshi in the future. At least it is not of great use at the moment!"
People who are good at planning are often sober, and this is what Ying Gao is doing at this moment. He knows in his heart that Wusun's role will be in the future, and it is just a casual move at the moment, which is useless for the current overall situation.
"My subordinate is slow, thank you General Ying for clearing up the confusion!"
At this moment, Wang Hu was a little ashamed of such a simple thing, but he just didn't expect it, and the consideration of the matter was still incomplete.
"People are always growing, but in the process, you have to learn to observe and be meticulous!"
Ying Gao looked at Wang Li and said word by word: "If you are careless, you will never be able to become a famous general in the world!"
In the shogunate, all the generals stood up and raised their hands to Ying Gao. They knew that what he said was not meant for one person, but for everyone present.
There were even Meng Liao and others who were not present. When they thought of this, they couldn't help but say to Ying Gao.
"Thank you, General Ying, for reminding me!"
Ying Gao was still very generous to his confidants, whether it was salary or rewards.
After all, he holds the Jiannan Chamber of Commerce and the Peacock Chamber of Commerce in his hands. It can be said that he is making money every day. The most important thing is money.
Moreover, people such as Wang Hu, Wang Li, Meng Liao and others are all talented people. At critical moments, he doesn't mind giving a few pointers.
Although the Great Qin at the moment is governed by the King of Qin, sooner or later this Great Qin will belong to him. After all, the Great Qin is private.
"Wang Hu needs to be stationed in the northwest to guard against the Xiongnu and Dayue clan Wusun and other forces. When the incident in the northwest is resolved, I will immediately go south!"
Ying Gao changed the topic, his eyes fell on Wang Li, and said: "I wonder who of you is willing to go south with me to conquer the extreme south?"
