In the fourteenth year of the First Emperor, there was civil strife in the Yueshi. Because of Gan Luo's intervention, a tragic war broke out in the Hexi Corridor. From the Qin border to the Western Regions, more than sixteen small countries and tribes participated. This war continued.
Two years later, in the 16th year of the First Emperor's reign, Qin State's Ma Fu Junkang led the Northern Army to the border, and officially participated in this war in the name of the Yuezhi War spreading to Qin and putting down the rebellion for the Yuezhi King.
Kang led the Northern Army to ambush the invading Qiang people in the Yueshi area. They achieved a great victory in the first battle and captured 30,000 soldiers. The Qiang people were frightened and wanted to withdraw from the battlefield. Ma Fujun ordered General Meng Tian to take the lead, assisted by Cao Shen, and divided his forces to attack the Qiang area... Meng Tian
The general adopted an offensive strategy and defeated the Qiang people many times. However, he treated their leaders well, did not harm them, released prisoners, and did not kill them indiscriminately. As a result, the Qiang people soon lost their will to resist. Most of the leaders of the Qiang tribes were grateful for Tian's kindness.
, lead the crowd to come down.
In the 16th year of the First Emperor's reign, the Qin State established the Qiang Yi Road in the northwest to govern the local people, build roads, open schools, and reclaim farmland.
Mafu Junkang continued to lead the main attack, defeated the Yuezhi rebels outside King Yuezhi's tent, executed their leader, and captured 60,000 to 70,000. Then he attacked King Yuezhi's army and captured 20,000. King Yuezhi fled in panic.
After fleeing to the Western Regions, Ma Fujun led the general Wang Ben as the leader, and ordered Yang Duanhe to assist him to divide his forces to attack the Xiongnu. He himself led the main force to continue chasing the Yuezhi King's army.
The Xiongnu had annexed many tribes in previous wars and had regained some strength. Wang Ben and Touman fought against each other for several months but could not win. The two sides faced off outside the north. Generals Sima Shang and Li Xin went out to Yanmen to fight with the Xiongnu.
Wang Ben attacked Touman Shanyu from both sides. Touman was frightened and immediately fled north. Sima Shang and Wang Ben pursued him. Li Xin lost his way and encountered Ding Ling's army, and captured 20,000 soldiers.
In the seventeenth year of the First Emperor's reign, the Hexi Corridor was pacified, and the Yuezhi continued to flee. The Qin State established Anding and Jincheng counties outside Fufeng County. Ma Fujun was stationed in Anding County and was not in a hurry to pursue. After the Yuezhi attacked various places in the Western Regions and started a melee
, Ma Fujun launched an unhurried attack, and defeated Yuezhi's defeated troops, and even the local tribes, opening up a huge territory, and in the eighteenth year of the First Emperor's reign, Wuwei County was established.
The war in the northwest was still going on. Taiwei Wang Jian formulated a war plan for the northwest and proposed to train an army as a backup for the Northern Army. At that time, the emperor set up an army, stationed in Fufeng County, as the Western Army.
Wang Jian trained a total of 50,000 people, divided into five schools, as a reserve for the Northern Army. In that year, King Donghu died of illness and ordered the whole country to move eastward so as not to compete with Qin.
The eldest son of King Donghu came to the throne, colluded with the two Koreas, and invaded Liaodong. General Li Mu led an army to attack, captured 60,000 men, and beheaded King Donghu. Donghu was scattered, each had its own affairs, and the tribes were at odds with each other. In this year, the people of Liaodong said that they could
General Li Mu stopped him and proposed to appease him. Four Donghu tribes surrendered one after another and went to Liaodong and other places to serve as people. General Li Mu went out of Korea again, defeated Hou Yan, captured Yan Wang Dan, and Dan committed suicide wearing a crown and sword and holding a book.
In the 19th year of the First Emperor's reign, Mafu Junkang went out with force, defeated Yuezhi, and defeated Wusun, and established the three counties of Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang. The emperor was overjoyed and made Mafu Junkang the Marquis of Mafu.
Marquis Ma Fu submitted a letter requesting an expedition to the Western Regions, but Han Fei and other ministers dissuaded him, thinking that the Northern Army had been fighting for many years and had consumed a huge amount of national power, so it could no longer be conquered. The emperor thought so and ordered Marquis Ma Fu to return to the army.
In the 20th year of the First Emperor's reign, the Northern Army returned to Xianyang... The officials stood on the side of the road, leaning against each other to welcome the expeditionary force. The soldiers of the Northern Army held their heads high and walked on the road, attracting people's attention.
In the military position, Zhao Kang stood on the military chariot. Behind him, the flag of the horse uniform was fluttering in the wind. Countless people exclaimed. Years of fighting have made Zhao Kang look more mature. He stood tall and strong.
On the military chariot, he is majestic and majestic.
Xianyang gradually appeared in front of him. Zhao Kang asked the Northern Army soldiers to stop, and his military chariot arrived at the position of the front army. In the distance, the emperor led his ministers to greet this fierce man. He said he was a fierce man, but he was really
It is no exaggeration at all. Zhao Kang and Gan Luo were the first to contribute to this foreign war. Gan Luo's contribution was to weaken the strength of the northwest countries, causing them to kill each other, and even attract many enemies, while Zhao Kang
Kang's contribution was to destroy them.
Before sending troops, everyone thought that Zhao Kang would pacify the Yuezhi, but they did not expect that it would happen so quickly. In three years, Zhao Kang fought non-stop, conquering all the land from Fufeng to Dunhuang with almost no obstacles.
For this distance, it would take a knight to ride a horse for a year. Therefore, Zhao Kang's speed was very amazing. He could be said to have won every battle along the way, defeating the Yuezhi, Xiongnu, and Qiang.
The rat scurried away with its head in its hands, shouting that it was invincible.
He barely paused and fought one battle after another. As a result, in the past few years, the Northern Army's casualties were less than 20,000. Even Taiwei Wang Jian was frightened by Zhao Kang's offensive efficiency.
, speechless... When Zhao Kang stepped off the military chariot, the emperor laughed and walked to his side. Like him, Ying Zheng also matured a lot and began to develop in the direction of a potbelly.
Although he is also strong, he is still much shorter than Zhao Kang.
Zhao Kang paid homage to his brother and just followed him into Xianyang. The soldiers of the Northern Army returned to the school grounds to accept their rewards there.
"Greetings to Father Zhong!!", the young prince of the empire greeted Zhao Kang respectfully. Zhao Kang looked at Fusu in front of him, with a smile finally appearing on his cold face, "Not bad.", said,
He patted Fusu on the shoulder. Fusu was shaking and almost couldn't resist it. Although it hurt, he was still very serious. Seeing his appearance, Zhao Kang curled his lips, complained a few words, and went to attend.
It's a party.
The banquet was as usual. Zhao Kang became much more stable and no longer boasted about his achievements as before. However, even if he didn't say it, no one dared to underestimate him. The emperor rewarded him with many gifts, even
Wang Jian also sat next to him and asked him how he achieved such offensive efficiency, but the ministers had already started to brag. Everyone smiled and praised: "It's true that he is the son of Marquis Wu Cheng, just like his father!"
"Yes, I heard that Marquis Wu Cheng once left behind an art of war..."
"At that time, Marquis Wu Cheng also advanced thousands of miles from Xianyang to Wei in half a year..."
The smile on Zhao Kang's face gradually solidified. He wanted to say something, but he said nothing. He lowered his head and ate the wine bitterly. Zhao Kang had just returned to Xianyang, and the emperor did not keep him for too long. Waiting for Zhao Kang to shake
When he returned to the door of the mansion, it was quiet. Zhao Kang knocked on the door. After knocking for a long time, no one opened the door... Zhao Kang frowned and slammed the door open.
Already.
Zhao Kang walked into the mansion. The mansion was empty. The old tree in the courtyard had long withered... There was no one around. Zhao Kang seemed to be a little awake.
"Which thief?! Dare to break into my eldest father's house?!" Suddenly, there was a roar, and a man rushed over. Zhao Kang had no time to react, and was thrown to the ground and received several punches.
Zhao Kang was furious and hit him with his elbow, only to hear a muffled grunt. The man who attacked him from behind stopped moving... Zhao Kang stood up, and Zhao Xiuxiu lay on the ground, covering his face, feeling pain.
Hum hum.
"I've rebelled against you!" Zhao Kang was furious and kicked him again. At this time, under the moonlight, Zhao Xiu could see his father's face clearly, "Ah? Father? Aren't you at the palace for a banquet?"
", Zhao Kang gritted his teeth. It was really unlucky that he had received several punches from Zhao Xiu just after he got home. He said angrily: "I just came back, why are you here??"
"I heard a noise here and thought I was being robbed. It was so dark and I couldn't see clearly..."
"You bastard!!" Zhao Kang kicked him a few more times, and suddenly someone behind him yelled: "What thief! How dare you break into my eldest father's house! How dare you hurt my brother!!"
After a while, Mao was sitting next to Zhao Xiu, covering his face, and groaning in pain. Zhao Kang sat in front of them, with a dark face, "I fought in the northwest for three or four years, and I was not injured. I went home.
Instead, I got a punch..."
"Father...", the two young men lowered their heads and whispered. Years have passed and both of them have grown up. Fortunately, Zhao Xiu has become more and more handsome and slender. Walking on the road,
There are countless girls who want to elope with him, but Zhao Xiu has no interest in them. He hangs out with Mao all day long... As for Mao, it's hard to describe. I don't know when he started.
Inhuman growth.
The whole person began to develop towards width. Five big and three thick are not enough to describe him. With a bear's back, waist, hands and legs, plus the thick beard on his face, he looked like a black wind king who stole cassocks. Sitting next to him, Zhao Xiu
Just like a child, Zhao Kang was a little surprised. How could my child turn from a human into a bear in just three years? However, there are also advantages to becoming a bear.
At least, no one dares to bully Mao anymore. When the powerful men in Xianyang fight, Mao can rush into the opponent's crowd, grab the leader of the opponent, lift him out and beat him... Zhao Xiu has already
I haven't competed with him for a long time... He always refused, saying that they were both grown up and couldn't fight anymore.
Zhao Kang took the two of them back home and began to rest at home peacefully.
It was at this time that Mao found Zhao Kang and suggested that he wanted to go home to see his mother... Zhao Kang lowered his head and looked at Mao sitting in front of him. He knew where Mao was going and pondered for a long time.
, he asked: "Are you going to come back this time, or are you planning to stay in your hometown?" Without even a moment's hesitation, he said: "When I finish my own thing, I will go home...
"
When Zhao Kang heard that he was going home, Zhao Kang's expression softened a little. He sighed, took out his sword and threw it to him, "You must remember that you are the adopted grandson of Marquis Wucheng.
You must...don't do anything sorry for him...otherwise, my father will not forgive you, and neither will I." He picked up the sword and looked at Zhao Kang in front of him. He seemed to understand something, and his face changed.
Must be a little pale.
"It's okay.. Go ahead and remember to go home early."
"only!"
After walking out of the inner room, Zhao Xiu had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Mao coming out, he had a lot of things to say in his mind. In the end, he just sighed and asked: "When are you leaving?"
"Leave tomorrow." The two of them have been playing together since they were young. Now they are facing separation, but they are both reluctant to leave. The two of them have never left. From childhood to adulthood, no matter where they go, the two of them are together. Zhao Xiu is a little bit
He was sad, but he still smiled and wished him a safe journey. The two of them stole some wine from their father and went drinking together. They drank to the fullest. They got drunk and talked a lot.
After Mao left Xianyang, Zhao Xiu stood there and said goodbye to his good brother. Mao galloped away on his horse. He only heard someone shouting from behind: "Remember to go home early!!"
This road is still very far away. Because of the pass given by Zhao Kang, no one dared to make trouble along the way. However, the Huns have already gone north at the moment. It is not easy to find them. After leaving the land of Qin,
The grassland kept searching for the whereabouts of the Xiongnu, and experienced a lot along the way. Some thieves wanted to kill him, some beauties from the tribe wanted to marry him, and some tribes wanted to accept him.
After more than a year, Mao finally found his tribe. The weak Xiongnu was silently licking his wounds. Touman Chanyu became more irritable and moody. When Mao Dun stood in front of his father, his head
Man Shanyu was shocked, and he did not dare to confirm whether this was his son. After asking many things, Tou Man was finally sure. He hugged his son happily and told his ministers that he
The eldest son is back!
Modu's face was a little cold, and he just asked: "Where is mother?"
Touman was stunned, but did not answer. He found one of his subordinates and asked, and then said with some disapproval: "She is no longer here, it has been several years..."
Although he had already made assumptions in his mind, when he actually learned the news, Mao Dun still seemed a little irritable. He suppressed the grief in his heart and asked: "How did mother leave?" He did not expect to be able to start over.
When he got some answer, after Touman's perfunctory response, he burst into tears. Touman hurriedly comforted him. Soon, he stopped crying and happily chatted with his father about his experiences over the years.
From the next day, Moton wandered around the Xiongnu, made friends, and asked privately about his mother.
"You mean that Lao Yan? I know her. She is crazy. She is asking everywhere about your whereabouts...I even gave her meals a few times."
"Lao Yan? We all know this. She seems to have been frozen to death..."
"She was beaten to death. I saw with my own eyes that the slave of the Xinlan family broke her head with a wooden stick..."
"Oh... Lao Yan? She was starved to death... Shanyu doesn't like her..."
Modun stood on the high slope and looked calmly at the herdsmen in front of him and at the livestock with their heads lowered and grazing. He seemed to see an old woman in the distance, asking around for the whereabouts of her son, enduring hunger and cold.
Suffering humiliation, going crazy under the great pain, and not being able to see her son until her death... Modun suddenly laughed, tears kept falling, and no one could tell whether he was crying.
Still laughing.
Touman Chanyu handed more than 5,000 cavalry to Modu and asked him to lead them.
Mao Dun looked at the knights in front of him and took out a strange arrow. He said calmly: "Wherever I will shoot this arrow... you have to shoot there... If there is any hesitation...
