Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

Chapter 206 Entering Nanyang

South Korea is a small country.

Crossing Nanyang, only a hundred miles away, you can reach Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea.

Therefore.

After Wang Jian conquered Nanyang City, he could quickly attack Huanglong and lead his army to suppress Xinzheng.

After the news of "Destroying Nanyang in one day" spread out to the Central Plains, all the remaining four countries except Qin and Han were shocked. No one expected that Qin would send troops so suddenly, nor did they expect that Qin's army only took one day. The most important military fortress on the South Korean border, "Nanyang Castle", was breached.

Secondly, after they came to their senses, Zhao and Wei, the two countries closest to South Korea, immediately sent troops to assist South Korea.

After all, South Korea is weak.

However, geographically, South Korea is an important "buffer point" between various countries and the Qin State. Once South Korea is destroyed, the territories of Zhao and Wei will directly intersect with the Qin State's border.

At present, the state of Qin is powerful.

Losing the ‘buffer point’ means losing a layer of protection.

By then, once Qin suddenly launches an attack, the situation of Zhao and Wei will probably not be much better than that of South Korea today.

Therefore, from a strategic perspective, Zhao and Wei would not easily let Qin annex South Korea no matter what.

But it's a pity.

The reinforcements from the two countries were stopped before they even left their own country's territory.

The State of Zhao sent General Sima Shang to lead an army of 100,000 people and was about to cross the Yellow River. He discovered that an army also appeared on the other side. It was the 100,000 Qin Army led by Qin General Wang Ben.

The two armies faced each other across the bank for several days without fighting, and eventually the Zhao army retreated.

On the Wei side, they were also blocked by the 100,000 Qin army commanded by Meng Wu. The two sides fought for several rounds, with neither victory nor defeat.

in other words.

This time, in order to attack South Korea, Qin dispatched at least 400,000 troops.

If Qin's national strength were not strong now and 400,000 troops were sent out at the same time, the food and grass alone would be enough to cause a considerable burden on Qin.

······

At this time, in Nanyang City.

Because Nanyang City fell quickly enough, and with the comfort of Zuo Teng, the former Nanyang County Governor, the situation in Nanyang City at this time seemed to be quite stable.

Even in terms of order alone, compared with before the war, there is almost no difference.

But the scourge of war still exists.

A speck of dust at the national level and falling on an individual's head is an unbearable disaster.

What's more, the lower-class people in Nanyang and several nearby areas have just escaped from the heavy snow disaster last year. Now the vast majority of the lower-class civilians have no ability to resist risks at all.

So just a few days.

South Korea has tens of thousands more refugees.

But because Xiong Da responded in a timely manner, these tens of thousands of refugees were quickly resettled without causing much trouble.

And this was also a mistake, which calmed down many guys who wanted to take advantage of the chaos.

One day.

Two carriages drove slowly from a distance to the outside of Nanyang City, but before they could get closer, the carriages were stopped by someone. At the same time, powerful crossbows were set up on the distant city wall, aiming at the two carriages.

"Who are you?"

A centurion of the Qin army wearing black armor came forward and shouted at the two carriages.

The next second.

The curtain slowly opened, and then a woman with a good figure but two hideous scars on her face stepped out of the carriage, then took out a token and handed it to the centurion in front of her.

The centurion took the token and his expression was calm at first, but when he saw the token with the word "Shengping" written on the front and "Ink" written on the back, his expression suddenly changed.

He hurriedly saluted and said, "I didn't know Lord Shengping was coming, so please forgive me."

Zhu Yeqing cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty asked me to come here to do some things, and I would like to ask for your convenience."

The centurion handed back the token respectfully, waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. Since it is Lord Shengping's order, I will open the city gate for you."

The system of civil and military officials was incompatible. As a military general, this centurion did not need to be too flattering to the civil officials.

But Mr. Mo is an exception.

To put it bluntly, Lord Mo's reputation in the Qin army is no less than that of any leading general.

[Da Qin Sword Creation Medicine] more than doubled the Qin Army's injury recovery rate.

[New Grain Type] The Qin army will no longer worry about food and grass when fighting.

[Refined salt refining method] allowed Qin Jun to have sufficient salt intake.

Even this time when Qin attacked South Korea, even the lower-level soldiers had meat to eat.

This was something that was simply unimaginable before.

It can be said.

Now all the officers and soldiers in the entire Qin army, one by one, can be said to have inherited the love of Lord Mo, but some are bigger and some are smaller.

Including the centurion in front of me is no exception.

Because if it weren't for the [Da Qin Sword Creation Medicine] invented by Lord Mo, he would have encountered many life and death crises long ago.

Therefore, after returning the token to Zhuye Qing, 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, Zhu Yeqing also bowed his hands politely towards the centurion.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome. I wish you a safe journey."

The two carriages drove into the city, and when the carriages' backs gradually disappeared from the street corner, the centurion withdrew his gaze and turned back.

And not long after he returned to the team, he heard a few talkative soldiers on the side couldn't help but curious: "Captain, whose convoy was that just now? You actually let it in so easily."

"Don't ask more questions than you should."

The centurion glared at several people, but then paused for a moment and replied: "That's the person sent by the Lord, can I not let him go!"

"That lord?"

"Da Tan, where are you from?" 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 home! Although Hanzhong was poor before, but now since Lord Shengping became the lord of our Hanzhong, the conditions there are now better That's good. Last year, my father and mother had a hard time feeding my sister alone, but this year they gave me two more brothers, and the family can still have a meal of meat every ten days!"

The young man called ‘Big Carbon’ by the centurion was obviously an honest boy and did not understand the meaning behind the centurion’s words.

But when he heard the centurion mention his hometown, Da Tan suddenly opened his chatterbox and started chattering non-stop.

Although the centurion didn't mean this when he mentioned Hanzhong, he still couldn't help but twitching his lips after hearing what Da Tan said.

A family with three children can still eat one meal of meat every ten days?

What kind of family conditions do these have to be!

The centurion himself was of commoner origin, and his hometown was Shangjun. Since he joined the army, there is only one adult brother left in the family, and it can be said that there are already three laborers.

But even so, his family now only has enough food and clothing.

Although I have long heard that Hanzhong County has undergone earth-shaking changes since Lord Shengping entered Hanzhong, 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 could not hear the implication of the centurion's words, there were a few clever soldiers in the crowd who heard it and were immediately startled.

"Hanzhong... Oh my God, Captain You didn't mean to say that the two carriages just now belonged to that gentleman! What, what did that gentleman do in Nanyang?"

Hearing this, the centurion glared at him again and said: "Does that adult still need to report to you and me when doing things? Okay, stop talking nonsense, keep an eye on it, and be careful not to let the enemy find an opportunity to take advantage of it. .”
