Chapter 206 Entering Nanyang
Chapter 206 Entering Nanyang
Chapter 206 Entering Nanyang
Korea is a small country.
After crossing Nanyang, within a hundred miles, you can reach the capital of South Korea—Xinzheng.
Therefore.
After Wang Jian conquered Nanyang City, he could quickly attack Huanglong and lead an army to coerce Xinzheng.
After the news of "breaking Nanyang in one day" came out of the Central Plains, all the other four countries except Qin and Han were taken aback. No one thought that Qin would send troops so suddenly, let alone that it took only one day for the Qin army to The most important military fortress "Nanyang City" on the Korean border was broken.
Second, after they came to their senses, Zhao and Wei, the two countries closest to South Korea, would immediately send troops to help South Korea.
After all, South Korea is weak.
However, South Korea is geographically an important "buffer point" between other countries and Qin State. Once South Korea perishes, the territories of Zhao and Wei will directly intersect with the border of Qin State.
At present, the state of Qin is powerful.
Losing the 'buffer point' is equivalent to losing a layer of protection.
At that time, once Qin suddenly launched an attack, the situation of Zhao and Wei would not be much better than that of South Korea today.
So from a strategic point of view, Zhao and Wei will not easily let Qin annex South Korea anyway.
It's a pity however.
The reinforcements of the two countries were stopped before they even left their own country's territory.
Zhao Guo sent General Sima Shang to lead an army of [-] to cross the Yellow River, but found an army on the other side, which was the [-] Qin Army led by Qin General Wang Ben.
The two armies faced each other across the bank for several days without fighting, and finally the Zhao army retreated.
On the other side of the Wei State, the [-] Qin Army under Commander Meng Wu also blocked them. The two sides fought for several rounds, regardless of the outcome.
in other words.
This time, in order to attack South Korea, Qin State dispatched at least 40 troops.
If it weren't for the strength of the Qin State now, and 40 troops marching at the same time, the food and grass alone would be enough to cause a considerable burden on the Qin State.
······
And at this time in Nanyang City.
Because the fall of Nanyang City was fast enough, and Zuo Teng, the former Nanyang governor, appeased him, the situation in Nanyang City at this time seemed to be quite stable.
Even from the perspective of order alone, there is hardly any difference compared with before the war.
But the scourge of war remains.
A speck of dust at the national level is an unbearable disaster if it falls on an individual.
What's more, the low-level people in Nanyang and several nearby areas have just escaped from the heavy snow disaster last year. Now most of the low-level civilians have no ability to resist risks at all.
So just a few days.
There are tens of thousands more refugees in South Korea.
But because Xiong Da responded in a timely manner, these tens of thousands of refugees were quickly resettled without causing too much trouble.
And this was also a mistake, which made many guys who wanted to take advantage of the mess to settle down.
some day.
Two carriages drove slowly from a distance to the outside of Nanyang City, but before they got close, the carriages were stopped, and at the same time, a crossbow was set up on the city wall in the distance, aiming at the two carriages.
"Who are you?"
A centurion of the Qin army in black armor stepped forward and shouted at the two carriages.
next second.
The curtain of the carriage was slowly opened, and then a woman with a good figure but with two hideous scars on her face stepped out of the carriage, and then took out a token and handed it to the centurion in front of her.
The centurion took the token, and his face was calm at first, but when he saw the token with [Shengping] on the front and [Ink] on the back, his expression changed instantly.
Hastily saluted and said: "I don't know that Lord Shengping is coming, please forgive me."
Zhuyeqing arched her hands and said: "My lord ordered me to come here to do some things, and I would like to ask this lord to help me."
The centurion respectfully handed back the token, waved his hands again and again and said: "Don't dare to act, don't dare to act, since it is the order of Lord Shengping, this subordinate will open the city gate for a few of you."
The system of civil and military officials is not compatible. As a general, this centurion does not need to be too flattering to civil officials.
But Mo Jun is an exception.
To put it bluntly, Mo Jun's prestige in Qin's army is by no means inferior to that of any leading general.
[Daqin Knife Creation Medicine] more than doubled the healing rate of Qin Jun's injuries.
[New Grain] So that the Qin army will no longer worry about food and grass when fighting.
[Salt Extraction Method] Allow Qin Jun to have sufficient salt intake.
Even when they attacked South Korea this time, even the low-level soldiers of Qin State had meat to eat.
In the past, this was simply an unimaginable thing.
It can be said.
Now all the soldiers in the entire Qin army, one counts as one, can be said to have inherited the love of Mr. Mo, but some are bigger and some are smaller.
Even the centurion in front of him is no exception.
Because if it weren't for the [Daqin Sword and Medicine] invented by Mr. Mo, he would not have known how many times he had encountered life-and-death crises.
So after returning the token to Zhuyeqing, the centurion even personally led the carriage to the city gate, and then shouted towards the city wall.
"Open the city gate!"
When the city gate opened, Zhuyeqing bowed her hands politely towards the centurion.
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome, I wish you the best of luck."
Two carriages drove into the city, and when the carriage gradually disappeared from the corner of the street, the centurion looked back and turned back.
And not long after he returned to the team, he heard a few talkative soldiers beside him couldn't help but wonder: "Captain, whose convoy was that just now? You let it in so easily."
"Don't ask more questions than you should."
The centurion glared at a few people, but then paused for a moment, and replied, "That's the person sent by that lord, can I not let him go!"
"That lord?"
"Big Tan, where is your hometown?" The centurion did not respond directly, but asked a question.
"Captain, my hometown is Hanzhong. By the way, Captain, if you have time in the future, you must come to my house as a guest! Although Hanzhong was poor before, but now since Lord Shengping became the lord of our Hanzhong, the conditions there are now That’s great. Last year, my parents struggled to support my younger sister alone, but this year they gave birth to two younger brothers for me, and the family can still eat meat every ten days!”
The boy called "Big Carbon" by the centurion was obviously an honest boy, and he didn't understand the meaning behind the centurion's words.
But when the centurion mentioned his hometown, Da Tan suddenly started chattering like he had opened up a chatterbox.
And the centurion mentioned the purpose of Hanzhong, although he didn't mean it in this way, but after hearing what Da Tan said, he couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth.
A family with three children can still eat a meal of meat every ten days?
What kind of family conditions is this!
The centurion himself was born as a commoner, and his hometown is Shangjun.Since I joined the army, there is only one adult brother left in the family, so it can be said that there are already three laborers.
But even so, his family is just barely satisfied with food and clothing.
Although I have long heard that after Lord Shengping entered Hanzhong, Hanzhong County has undergone earth-shaking changes, but this change is a bit too terrifying!
"How about I also move to Hanzhong in the future?"
Inexplicably, such an idea suddenly appeared in the centurion's mind.
At the same time, although Da Tan failed to hear the centurion's implication, a few clever soldiers in the crowd heard it, and they were shocked immediately.
"Hanzhong... My God, Captain Ni doesn't mean that the two carriages just now belong to that lord! Now, what is that lord doing in Nanyang?"
Hearing this, the centurion glared at him again, and said, "Does that lord still need to report to you and me? Alright, stop talking nonsense, and keep an eye on it, and be careful not to let the enemy find an opportunity to take advantage of it." .”
