Chapter three hundred and eighty fifth everything is normal
The governor-general's high-profile preparations to conquer the barbarians soon spread in the capital city of Shu.
Ordinary people who have been living in the capital city of Shu have no feelings at all and only use it as tea after dinner.
On the other hand, those trading houses that had been robbed by the barbarians, as well as those who had fled to the capital of Shu due to the barbarian rebellion, had tears in their eyes after hearing about this incident. The government finally took action to remove these cancers.
This incident also caused a small episode in the Ba family of Chenghou Mansion.
I saw Ba Qiang, the current head of the Ba family, hurried to the yard of the widow Qing and said: "Mother, have you heard? The Governor's Office is preparing to wipe out all the barbarians in Shu."
Widow Qing heard the words and said calmly: "I heard, what's the matter?"
Ba Qiang asked anxiously: "Then why didn't mother come forward and persuade Mr. Hu Hai to show his noble hand and let those barbarians go?"
Widow Qing raised her head and asked, "Why should I come forward to intercede for the barbarians?"
Bachchan was stunned for a moment and said: "Mother, have you forgotten that my Ba family was also the leader of a barbarian tribe in the beginning. After all, we have to take some affection into account."
Widow Qing stared at Bachchan and said coldly: "So what? Look carefully in the mirror. How can you still look like a barbarian?"
"But bloodline..." Bachchan said hesitantly.
Widow Qing said with a face full of hatred, "You have to know that the difference between barbarians does not depend on blood, but on lifestyle. Which of the old nobles in Chang'an City does not have Di Rong's blood flowing in their body? According to you,
, are they all barbarians too?"
Bachchan remained silent and speechless.
Finally, the widow said quietly: "Besides, with Hu Hai's arbitrary temperament, can you persuade him?"
…
Three days later, after Hu Hai led his team to worship heaven and earth on the temporary altar, when the auspicious time came, Han Xin led an army of 10,000 and set off northward.
Hu Hai led the supervisory guards and slowly followed him. Before leaving, Hu Hai turned around and looked at Lin Ze with a resentful look, because he realized that he had been tricked by Lin Ze again.
The supervisor can indeed command the commander, but as Lin Ze said, it must be at a critical moment. However, according to Hu Hai's research, there has never been such a situation in the hundreds of years of Qin's war history.
Calling him a conductor is just deceiving people, okay?
Lin Ze didn't realize it at all, but shouted to Hu Hai: "I wish you success and a triumphant return as soon as possible."
The more Hu Hai thought about it, the angrier he became. He snorted coldly, clamped the horse under its butt hard, and galloped away.
After Hu Hai walked away, Lin Ze looked at Yu Ziqi who looked envious and said, "Why, are you envious of being able to lead troops on an expedition?"
Yu Ziqi nodded vigorously and said: "My subordinate's dream has always been to lead an army to fight in all directions. I hope the military advisor can give me a chance."
Lin Ze said slowly: "This is easy to handle. As long as you serve the young master well, there will be many opportunities in the future. You are still young, and the future will eventually be yours."
Yu Ziqi automatically ignored Lin Ze, who was younger than him, and spoke to him in the tone of an experienced person. He firmly grasped Lin Ze's promise that he would have the opportunity in the future, and replied excitedly: "Thank you, military advisor, for your help."
"Yes." Lin Ze responded casually and said, "Go back and seize the time to continue recruiting. We will try to recruit at least 30,000 qualified soldiers within one year. Go ahead."
Yu Ziqi bowed to Lin Ze, led his men and left happily.
Lin Ze turned to Chen Ping and others and said, "Let's go back to the Governor's Mansion."
After returning to the Governor's Mansion, Lin Ze became more and more relaxed. He first told Chen Ping: "You should work hard during this period and be sure to ensure the logistics of the army. In addition, the daily government affairs of the Governor's Mansion will also be handled by you.
Oh, please don’t let me down."
Chen Ping nodded helplessly. He had known that Lin Ze would push the matter to him and then live freely.
…
A month later, Han Xin sent people to bring good news. The army had massacred three large barbarian tribes in the northern part of Shu, killed more than 5,000 enemies in total, and captured more than 6,000 barbarians. The new Sirius Army was rescued by Tianshi Dao.
, losing more than 800 people, it can be called a great victory.
After receiving the good news, Lin Ze was not surprised by the result at all. He sent someone to send a message urging Chen Ping to hurry up and prepare a batch of supplies to send to the front line.
At the same time, he called Yu Ziqi and said: "Put away what you have on hand and take the people yourself to send the two thousand newly recruited soldiers to the barbarian army."
"In addition, Chen Ping has recruited a group of civilians and is preparing to send a batch of grain, military equipment, and martial arts training resources. It just so happens that you will be responsible for leading the team to send them there."
Yu Ziqi naturally obeyed his orders and replied, "I obey my orders."
…
In the early winter of Emperor Qin's 495th year, with the support of 2,000 additional troops from the Governor's Mansion, Han Xin led the barbarian army to go out again. In one go, he pacified thirteen barbarian tribes near Cangxi County in the northern part of Shu, killing more than ten thousand young barbarians.
He captured more than 20,000 barbarians and suffered 2,000 casualties on his own side.
In the severe winter of Emperor Qin's 495th year, the Governor-General's Mansion increased its troops by 5,000 people. Han Xin continued to lead the army to attack and annihilated eight tribes in succession, killing 3,000 enemies, capturing 20,000 people, and suffering 600 casualties on his own side.
In the late winter of Emperor Qin's 495th year, the Governor-General's Mansion once again increased its troops by 6,000. Han Xin led an army of 20,000 and fought a decisive battle at the foot of Jiange Mountain with a force of 100,000 from more than 30 large and small tribes in the northern Shu region.
At the cost of 4,000 casualties, Han Xin defeated the barbarian army of 100,000 people in one fell swoop and killed 10,000 people on the spot. Then Han Xin personally led the army to pursue them for 300 miles. The 100,000 troops trampled on each other, killing and wounding.
Wounded, some fled, and in the end the survivors, numbering less than 30,000, surrendered one after another.
Han Xin sent people to clean up the battlefield while striking while the iron was hot. He led his army to destroy more than 30 barbarian tribes one after another.
The remaining surviving barbarian tribes were all frightened and led their tribesmen to flee into Jiange Mountain. At this point, all the barbarian tribes in northern Shu were pacified.
In the spring of Emperor Qin's 496th year, Han Xin led his army back to the capital of Shu and reported to Lin Ze: "Fortunately, the general has lived up to his command and returned triumphantly with his army. Please give me your instructions."
Following Han Xin back, there were nearly 100,000 prisoners, waiting for Lin Ze's disposal.
Lin Ze looked at Han Xin returning with a murderous army of fifteen thousand, with a look of satisfaction on his face, and replied seriously: "You did a good job, I have no instructions here today, only rewards."
"Come here, send someone to verify the merits of this expedition. Three days later, I will give you rewards based on your merits in front of the entire army."
Han Xin cupped his fists and saluted Lin Ze and said, "The last general would like to thank the military advisor on behalf of all the soldiers."
Lin Ze waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to care. He turned to look at the group of prisoners and said, "You have gained quite a lot this time. The number of prisoners killed is unknown. You should deal with these people, remove their martial arts skills, and hand them over to Xu Gao.
Let him arrange for them to farm."
Han Xin was ordered to retreat.
Lin Ze looked at Chang'an from a distance and thought silently: Everything is going on as normal.
