A few days later, Xiao Yuan set off from Northeast Pass and returned to the court with his troops.
On the avenue, black flags were flying, and the Qin army soldiers were lined up in several long queues, marching at normal speed.
If you look down from a high altitude, you can see that the black armor and red tassels stretch endlessly for an unknown number of miles, but the entire army is orderly and not chaotic at all.
The infantry has its own path, and groups of cavalry gallop by on one side from time to time, keeping a perfect distance between the various units.
Driving a tall car, Xiao Yuan was reviewing memorials in front of several cases. These were sent from the imperial court and most of them needed the emperor's approval.
There are already a lot of memorials on the right side. These have all been reviewed. Xiao Yuan's writing has always been concise and clear, and they usually read: read, acceptable, or accurate.
And for some not so good ones, he would also point out their shortcomings in a few words.
He would also read some rare memorials and certain important events twice more, and then give emphatically instructions.
While walking, the car suddenly stopped.
Not long after, the guard came to report: "Your Majesty, it seems that many people have appeared in front of us, wanting to send some fruits and food to our army."
Xiao Yuan understood and just stopped writing: "It's not easy for the people to live. Tell Zhou Ding not to take the people's wealth."
"No!" The guard took the order and left.
"Peng Shuang." Xiao Yuan shouted again.
"Your Majesty." The latter followed on horseback to the side of the car.
"Go and call Jia You over."
"yes."
Ahead, many people were waiting on the road holding baskets or carrying drinks, food and other things. When they saw the Qin army, they swarmed towards them and said in a hurry:
"We are all ordinary people nearby. We heard that the army was about to pass, so we specially waited here."
"The soldiers have worked hard on expeditions to eliminate harm for the country. We ordinary people can't contribute much. We only hope to send these special products to feed the soldiers."
People crowded around to hand over things.
Looking at this scene, a touch of emotion flashed in the eyes of the soldiers, and the justice of their family and country became more firm in their hearts.
Qin General Zhou Dingze was on his horse, waving his hands and saying: "Folks, there is no need to be like this. As soldiers, it is our responsibility to protect our family and country. You all should leave quickly."
"General, it's just some eggs. Just accept them."
"Yes, General, these are fresh oranges that the villain just picked. They are very thirst-quenching."
Even so, Zhou Ding knew in his heart that he was also born in poverty, and these eggs alone were probably saved by this family for a long time.
For these people, they may have taken out things that they would not normally use at home.
In such a scene, the people ate pots of pulp to welcome the king's return.
Just when Zhou Ding was a little confused about what to do, the messenger came on horseback and said: "Report~~~ to the general, your majesty ordered that you are not allowed to take the people's wealth!"
"Got the order!"
Zhou Ding responded immediately, and then looked at the people: "Folks, you have heard it too. Take all these things back. If not, I will be subject to military law."
"this"
The people looked at each other, a little at a loss.
Zhou Ding said again: "Okay, okay, folks, please disperse and don't hinder the march."
After hearing this, people had to consciously give in to both sides, but they were still talking about something and wanted to send something.
"His Majesty the Emperor gave the order"
"My officers and men of Great Qin are all good men."
"This kind of army is the national army"
While the crowd was talking, the army continued to move forward. People stood on both sides of the road, including men, women, old and young.
When the emperor's car passed by, no one organized it, but all the people spontaneously knelt down in unison.
Both sides knelt down. Amidst the slight bumps, the car passed by, but Xiao Yuan did not show up.
Seeing this scene, Meng Ya rode his war horse, looked over his head and said to the deputy general: "His Majesty the Qin Emperor's prestige is so great, he is as powerful as heaven in the Qin Dynasty."
"Also, from what I have seen along the way, to be honest, in the past, among all the countries in the Central Plains, have you seen any army that is so loved by the people."
"Isn't such an army invincible?"
"What the great leader said is absolutely true." Shi Kai also sighed with emotion: "This time I followed Da Qin on the expedition. Not only did I learn a lot on the battlefield, but I also gained a lot of knowledge. Only then did I realize how small our southern border is. "
Inside the car.
At the signal, Jia You was sitting on his knees a few tables away from Xiao Yuan.
While sorting out the memorials on the case, Xiao Yuan said: "Although the ghost clan has been pacified, the garrison issue has not been resolved yet. In my opinion, it is best to mobilize 100,000 new troops and change the defense every three years."
"Your Majesty is very worried." Jia You said: "The conditions over there with the Ghost Tribe are far inferior to those at home. This can also train the new army officers. Three years is the best time to change defenses. If it takes too long, the officers will inevitably feel homesick. The military's morale is unstable."
"Well, let's do it like this. As for the ghost army garrison, let's double the military salary." Xiao Yuan nodded and mentioned the candidate for the garrison general.
Jia You suggested: "I think General Gao Sachs is the best."
However, after Xiao Yuan thought about it, he waved his hand slightly: "Goldman Sachs has been stationed in the Western Border, and then stationed in the Ghost Clan, it is somewhat inappropriate."
Jia You thought about Yang Heng, Nie Xing and others again, but these levels were a bit high and inappropriate in some aspects, and finally said: "Then we can only choose from the eight generals."
The current eight generals are: Wang Lie, Chen Guan, Tan Zhen, Zhao Chen, Zhou Ding, Cao Yan, Wan Yong, and Chen Hui.
Xiao Yuan also had the same idea and smiled when he heard this: "As for Wang Lie, he is the chief general and Pei Yang is the deputy."
Jia You handed over his hand and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and I deeply agree. General Wang Lie is brave, not only has military strategy, but also has rich battlefield experience and can deal with many situations. General Pei Yang is cautious and wise. The two complement each other and are both loyal." , from here on the edge of the town, there is no need to worry."
"That's true. I can rest assured that Wang Lie is with the Ghost Clan." Xiao Yuan said, "Then send a transfer order to Chang'an Camp and let Wang Lie prepare."
"Yes." Jia You responded, and then said: "But Your Majesty, the position of military and political officer of the ghost tribe must be confirmed as soon as possible."
"You are right, this military and political officer is very important, and it will affect the future placement in the ghost clan's counties." Xiao Yuandao: "But I'd better send a letter to the prime minister first to see if there are any officials who recommend themselves."
Jia You nodded in agreement, and then discussed some other matters with Xiao Yuan.
The monarch and his ministers chatted for a long time. After the matter was settled, Xiao Yuan also shouted: "Peng Shuang, where are you?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Anyang City is ahead." Peng Shuang returned from the driver's side of the car.
Xiao Yuan thought about it and said: "It's frosty in October and the weather is turning cold. Don't rush on the road at night. Let the soldiers rest in Anyang overnight and leave again tomorrow morning."
"No!" Peng Shuang accepted the order. (End of chapter)
