A few months later, when Guo Dong, Xiang Liang, Xiang Liang, Xiang Zhuang, Yi Xiaochuan, and Deputy General Pang each led a group of troops, they divided their troops into six groups and attacked the country of Rong Di, directly swallowing most of Rong Di's territory into the territory of the Qin Dynasty.
Within this period, half a million prisoners of war and millions of cattle, sheep and horses were captured, and the baggage and treasure amounted to tens of thousands of carts.
The journey was so majestic that it even alarmed Meng Tian and Wang Li. They each sent 50,000 troops to assist in the escort, and jointly sent an army to advance 1,300 miles to recover all the territory Guo Dong had conquered.
Guard under his command.
After nearly two months of marching, Guo Dong finally hurriedly rushed back to Xianyang on the day of Qin Shihuang's birthday banquet. He couldn't even lower his body armor, so he led people into the palace in military uniform and arrived at
The birthday banquet has already begun in the main hall.
"Hahaha! Okay, okay! It's my birthday today. I thought my uncle would never come back in time, but I didn't expect that my uncle finally came back to celebrate my birthday!"
Seeing Guo Dong rushing back in his military uniform and full of travel dust, Qin Shihuang was immediately very happy. He stood up from the dragon chair and personally walked down the imperial steps to help Guo Dong and Xiang Yu, Xiang Liang and others beside him.
.
"Your Majesty is celebrating his birthday, how dare your general not to pat his horse and run back?"
Guo Dong said that he knelt down on one knee and performed a military salute to Qin Shihuang: "Your Majesty, today is your Majesty's birthday, and I will give you three gifts at the end! May your Majesty be as blessed as the sea, may your life be as long as the sky, and may the heaven and the earth be as bright as the sky.
Eternal glory!"
"Oh? My uncle still has a gift for me? Hurry and present it!"
Qin Shihuang guessed what gift Guo Dong was talking about after just a moment's thought. It must be the head of Pa Jiakuo that Guo Dong had mentioned before!
On his birthday today, if the head of the enemy chief Khan could be placed there, it would be a great joy in life, and it would also be a great deterrent to some envoys from foreign countries and those with ulterior motives.
The power of the Qin Dynasty greatly promoted the national prestige of the Qin Dynasty!
To be honest, when Guo Dong didn't come back in time, Qin Shihuang was still sighing because of the lack of such a birthday gift!
Upon hearing Qin Shihuang's inquiry, Guo Dong immediately brought himself into the main hall and raised the box he had been holding in his hands above his head: "This gift is from the Rongdi thief chief Pajiakuo who promised your majesty as a birthday gift when he was about to go to war."
’s head!”
Qin Shihuang did not know Pajia Kuo, but there were still some people present, especially the hostages and envoys left here by Rong Di. When Qin Shihuang ordered his head to be passed on to all the officials for viewing, and it was passed to these two people,
They immediately started crying and wailing, and then Zhao Gao sent people to drag him out with a very discerning eye.
Look at the head of King Rongdi Khan, who is also very powerful, and look at Qin Shihuang, who was in a great mood after receiving this gift, making him even more heroic and laughing, some foreign envoys, especially Tuan who sneaked in to assassinate Qin Shihuang.
The Queen, General Jin and others, while following the ministers to congratulate and compliment him, their thoughts became a little firmer.
"Okay, okay, my uncle is true to his word. The Lion King, who is worthy of being a man, has indeed promised to bring this traitor's head to celebrate my birthday! Good, good! I am very happy with this birthday gift, very happy!
"
After laughing, Qin Shihuang turned around and praised Guo Dong. Then he remembered that Guo Dong had just said that he had three gifts, and this was just one. He didn't know what the remaining two were: "Uncle Guo, I don't know what your
What’s the second gift?”
Guo Dong smiled, and after getting Qin Shihuang's permission, he asked Xiang Zhuang to go out and bring the second gift he had prepared for Qin Shihuang to the main hall: "Your Majesty, this second gift is what the general has prepared for your Majesty."
I named eight beauties to show that Your Majesty is the most unparalleled and supreme emperor throughout the ages!"
This flattering Qin Shihuang was so cool that he even ignored the fact that a few so-called beauties were a bit older.
Yes, these beauties are all quite young. Otherwise, Guo Dong would have cheated himself, so how could he give them to Qin Shihuang?
"Your Majesty, this is Queen Rong Di. These two are the two concubines of Pak Jia Kuo. This is the eldest daughter of Pak Jia Kuo. This is the daughter-in-law of Pak Jia Kuo and the crown prince of Rong Di. These are
This is Rong Di’s most famous beauty ten years ago, this is the daughter of the previous King of Rong Di, and this is Rong Di’s famous female general!”
Although these eight beauties are all a bit unsatisfactory, and some are a little skewed due to their age, their status is enough for Qin Shihuang and everyone to ignore this problem, and immediately let me
Qin Shihuang, who was flattered by Guo Dong, was even more happy, especially when he thought that these people with special status would appear on his dragon bed, Qin Shihuang was even more happy.
Extremely!
After a while, these eight "beauties" were taken away by Qin Shihuang's order, and this time without asking Qin Shihuang, Guo Dong took the initiative to offer the third gift, a scroll.
Qin Shihuang was puzzled, so he opened it and looked at it. It was a map.
Before he could ask doubtfully, Guo Dong had already explained: "Your Majesty, this third gift from General Mo is to fulfill his mission. For your Majesty, he will exterminate the Rong Di who dare to infringe upon our Great Qin's power, and expand the territory by one thousand and three thousand."
Hundreds of miles away, we will take over half of the territory of Rong and Di as the territory of our Great Qin, and wish your majesty a long life with its thousands of miles of territory!"
Three gifts, three flatteries, both gifts and flatteries can be said to be unique. Everyone in the civil and military dynasties had gifts and congratulatory messages, but no one could compare to Guo Dong's.
Therefore, as soon as Qin Shihuang was happy, he named Guo Dong's National Protector Camp and named Guo Dong the Protector General. He was ranked as the top minister, the same as the four generals at the front, left, and right. He led the 70,000 soldiers and horses before passing through the company.
After the battle, the remaining 50,000 elite soldiers who had fought hundreds of battles were all assigned to Guo Dong. In addition, 50,000 soldiers were drawn from the Meng family army and Wang Li's commander Beihu, who happened to be escorting the prisoners of war.
The 100,000 slaves and finances totaled a total of 150,000 troops, led by Guo Dong, who took over Wang Li's position and was responsible for guarding the border to defend the Huns. Wang Li, who was replaced, took the troops originally stationed here to prepare for Huns.
The soldiers and horses turned northwest to formally take over the 1,300 miles of Rongdi territory that Guo Dong had conquered, making it completely the territory of the Qin Dynasty.
In the early years, Da Qin's defense line in northern Xinjiang only had two groups. One group was from the Meng family. In the early years, it was Meng Wu. Now his son Meng Tian led 300,000 Meng family troops to guard the border. The other group was from the Wang family. In the early years, it was the Meng family.
Wang Ben, now Wang Li, the 250,000 elite soldiers who annihilated the six kingdoms are really much more powerful than the 300,000 Meng family troops in terms of combat effectiveness!
With such an army of 550,000 men from the Mongolian and Wang families guarding the northern frontier, it can be said that the northern frontier of the Qin Dynasty is as solid as gold and as safe as a rock, allowing Qin Shihuang to live in Xianyang City with 10,000 men at ease.
But it is precisely for this reason that the Meng and Wang families have unparalleled prestige among the two frontier armies. One of them has already taken the name of the Meng family army. How could Qin Shihuang not worry about their self-respect with their own troops?
Therefore, this time Guo Dong sent troops to fight against Di, he originally only mobilized 30,000 Meng family troops, but Qin Shihuang took the initiative to increase the number to 50,000, in order to reduce the Meng family army, or Meng Tian's military power. Now it is clear that Meng Tian has
He and Wang Li each took 50,000 men from their hands and assigned them to Guo Dong, making Guo Dong one of the border guard generals, dividing their strength and power.
Moreover, what Qin Shihuang thought better was that Guo Dong was the newly appointed border garrison general. Not only did he have the fewest troops among the three, but he was also stationed in the farthest northeast. In a few years, he would not be a concern at all.
, but he has 13,000 elites, famous commanders like Xiang Liang, fierce generals like Xiang Yu, and the help of Juxian Hall, which is enough to fight against the other two.
And Meng Tian had died of illness a few days ago, or died of poisoning. Before he died, he finally convinced Yi Xiaochuan to change his name to Meng Yi and take over the Meng Family Army. With the recent change of commander, the Meng Family Army didn't have to worry at all.
As for Wang Li, after 50,000 people were taken away, only 200,000 troops were left. He was far away from the place he had been familiar with for many years, and headed for the windy and sandy land in the north of Rongdina that he had just conquered. Not only did he have to live in a different place,
He had to re-arrange the garrison, and he was also responsible for the administration of the land and the people. A lot of things were enough for Wang Li, both in terms of energy and military strength, to be stretched for a long time. It was impossible to make trouble!
In this way, the three garrison generals have enough strength to ensure that the frontiers are worry-free, but they do not have the ability to support their own troops and become king. This is great news for Qin Shihuang. It is completely his years of experience.
I have always wanted to solve it, but there is no way to solve it!
Thinking about it this way, the look in Guo Dong's eyes became even more pleasing to the eye, because he found that Guo Dong was simply one of his lucky generals. From the moment Guo Dong appeared, everything he did was very beneficial to him!
From rescuing Meng Tian and Yu Shu and sending them to Xianyang, to rescuing them in Lanchi, then treating Yu Shu's illness, guarding Xianyang, training elite soldiers, conquering the Rong and Di, expanding the territory thousands of miles, and now solving a long-standing problem.
The great hidden worries weakened the Mongolian and King families without affecting the stability of the border troops. Even the previous remarks about loyal and traitorous ministers and sycophants were a great inspiration to him.
There is also the Juxian Hall, which was once established by his eldest son Fusu. Most of the people in it are descendants of the Six Kingdoms. The gathering of so many remnants of the Six Kingdoms in Xianyang City has always been a hidden worry for him. Unexpectedly, he was caught and released by Guo Dong.
As soon as they entered the battlefield, their hidden worries disappeared, and they became a powerful force in the Qin Dynasty guarding the border!
There are also those annoying Confucian scholars who wanted to destroy them many years ago, and the Mohist and other schools that had to be suppressed because of the war between the seven kingdoms. They put aside their past grudges and rejoined the Qin Dynasty, and found what they were best at without knowing how to do it.
These are all the excuses Guo Dong found for him to affect the areas he ruled. The methods he came up with can be said to be Guo Dong's good. Qin Shihuang thought about it carefully at this time, and he really couldn't finish it in three days and three nights!
Thinking of this, Qin Shihuang was very happy, and directly let Guo Dong sit in the position of the head of the generals at this time, and even took out the treasure he had been hiding.
The famous Gao Jianli construction throughout the ages!
But Qin Shihuang, who was overjoyed and happy to celebrate his birthday, never thought that Gao Jianli, whom he had raised in the palace for many years, had blinded himself in order to prevent Qin Shihuang from doing anything to him, a blind man.
Be wary and get close to him, and then... assassinate Qin!
Inheriting the legacy of his friend Jing Ke, he also assassinated Qin to avenge his friend Jing Ke!
