Chapter 57: The Bloody West Sea (1)
In the Warring States Period, the world was in chaos, and the seven major wars of national strength were conquered. The Qin State had not even settled the Central Plains, let alone the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which was a blank for plateau combat. If the Qin Yiren had not had modern knowledge and solved many problems, the Qin army would have suffered even more along the way.
Not to mention anything else, just the matter of keeping warm in the snow and ice made Qin Yiren show off his skills. He first used firewood to warm the soil, and then buried the charcoal fire inside. It was very warm to sleep on it, and the difference between blowing air conditioners was not big.
If it were in modern society, this was not difficult to understand. In the eyes of the ancients, Qin Yiren was really whimsical. You should know that the army in the Warring States Period shrank in the camp when it came to winter, and how could they know these methods?
Therefore, along the way, the Qin army admired Qin Yiren even more, and it can be said that they were promising.
Although Qin Yiren tried every means to solve the problem, the soldiers suffered a lot.
After seventeen days of difficult marching, I finally walked out of the mountains and forests and came to the plains centered on Qinghai Lake. In the Tang Dynasty, this area was called "Dafeichuan".
"Long live! Long live!" As soon as we left the mountains and forests, the Qin army burst into cheers, each of them cheering, and they were even more happy than the New Year.
Marching in the mountains and forests was a torture and exhausting thing. Finally, who can't be happy?
"We're out!" Qin Yiren raised his throat, opened his arms, raised his head to the sky, and shouted loudly. The indescribable Qingsong was more comfortable than making the beauty OOXX a hundred times.
Although it was still on the plateau and the difficulties were quite small, it was much smaller than in the dense forests of the mountains. Qin Yiren's heart finally fell back into his chest.
"Brothers: We have walked out of the mountains and forests and came to the West Sea." Qin Yiren clenched his hands into fists, and spoke loudly at the Qin army, saying, "There has never been a Chinese footstep on this road since ancient times. We have created miracles with our feet!"
Since Pangu opened the world, no Chinese army has come to the West Sea. This is a miracle! A great victory!
"Long live! Long live the Qin Dynasty!" The Qin soldiers burst into shocking cheers again, and everyone's faces were red and they couldn't help but be happy. Such a miracle was created by themselves, so who could not be happy? They all used their strength to yell.
"Camp, rest for three days!" Qin Yiren ordered the camp to rest on the spot until the cheers stopped.
After seventeen days of march, the Qin army was exhausted and it was time to rest and recover.
Another advantage of camping on the edge of the West Sea is that there are countless trees here. Just cut down the trees and there will be ready-made firewood. Furthermore, camping here, don’t worry about the leak of news.
At this time, the Qiang Nest was in the West Sea, and there were few such marginal areas. In order to ensure insurance, you only need to send scouts.
After settling down the camp, the Qin army slept beautifully, ate beautifully, and recovered their physical strength. It was not until three days later that Qin Yiren ordered the camp to be pulled out and headed towards the West Sea.
When we arrived at the agreed location, the two routes of Wei Liao and Wang Jian had not arrived yet.
It can be imagined that although Wei Liao and Wang Jian are great talents, they do not have modern knowledge like Qin Yiren. Once they encounter difficulties, they will be much more difficult to solve. After all, the gap in civilization for more than two thousand years cannot be compensated by their minds alone.
It was two days later that Wei Liao and Wang Jian arrived one after another. These two Qin troops were all in a low spirit and very weak, and there was a big gap with the Qin army led by Qin Yiren. The reason was, as Qin Yiren guessed, although Wei Liao and Wang Jian tried their best to solve the difficulties, they could not compare with Qin Yiren. These two armies could not endure all the hardships.
Of course, it is already rare for them to be able to walk out of the mountains and forests and come to the West Sea to successfully, and they cannot ask for more.
As a last resort, the soldiers recovered after resting for five days.
Five days later, Qin Yiren gave the order and 30,000 Qin troops marched towards the West Sea.
XXXXXXXXX
The West Sea is the Qinghai Lake, which has water sources and pastures. The climate is pleasant and not that cold. It is an ideal place for the Qiang to nest and winter. If you want to find a place that is comparable to this, then there may be only the Hetao land that the Huns yearn for.
At this time, there were tents everywhere around the West Sea, one after another, and I could not see at first sight, and I don’t know how many.
There were more than 200,000 Qiang people who arrived here, accounting for half of the Qiang population.
Like the Xiongnu, Qiang had to harvest grass before winter, harvest firewood, and prepare food. When winter came, they would enter the tent to eat meat and drink wine, and pass the dull and boring days.
If it weren't for winter, Qiang would ride horses, bows, arrows, scimitars, and hunting dogs to hunt, so as to pass the time. It's snowy now, not the time for hunting. Unless those who are really hurt, they would go hunting, and most Qiang would stay in the tent.
Therefore, eating meat and drinking became the main thing for Qiang at this time.
Near the West Sea, there are many large tents, which are the tents of the Qiang king and ministers. As the ruling class of the Qiang, they have privileges to occupy the best pastures and the best position. Only after they settling camp can the Qiang herders camp.
Therefore, they placed the tent in a good position near the West Sea.
Among them, there is a huge tent, which is the tent of the Qiang King. Its function is the same as the tent of the Shanyu, and it is a symbol of the lord power of the Qiang King. A thick flagpole in front of the tent, with a flag floating on it, which is the tent of the Qiang King.
The charcoal fires burned in the tent of the king, which made the whole tent warm as spring.
There were many people in the tent. Sitting in the center was a tall and particularly strong man. He was the King of Qiang, sitting upright on the throne made of pure gold, with a golden scepter placed on the right.
In front of him was a wide short table, with a roast lamb in a silver basin on it, which was golden in color and exuded an attractive aroma. There were wine utensils made of pure gold and small golden knife for cutting mutton.
The Qiang King pressed his left hand on the lamb leg and tore it hard with his right hand. The lamb leg was torn off. He held the lamb leg. The Qiang King opened his bloody mouth and started to bite it. After a while, his mouth was greasy and he ate it very sweetly. He picked up the wine cup and drank the horse happily.
Look at his wolfish look, it seems like he has never eaten mutton.
Not only did the Qiang King eat and drink in the sea of vague food, but all the ministers were like this. Eating meat and drinking wine in big mouthfuls was extremely happy.
Eat hard, burp with satisfaction, and prepare to rest for a while before eating and drinking. For the Qiang ruling class, which is not much, it is too long to spend the time, it would be really hard to pass on if you don’t drink for a long night.
Of course, crawling a woman's belly can also pass the boring time, but that's too tiring and will make you soft if you crawl too much.
After all the calculations, it is better to eat meat and drink. I am really tired of eating meat and drinking, so I go to find a woman.
While resting, the king and his ministers began to talk and chat and fuck.
"Do you know? Millions of Huns were completely wiped out by the Qin army, Shanyu was captured alive, and even the ancestral tomb of Longcheng was dug by the Qin army. The Qin army was like a wolf and a tiger, and it was terrible, so terrible."
"I knew it long ago. The Qin army is really good. The Huns are so powerful that they are like docile sheep when they meet the Qin army, without any resistance. A million people will be destroyed as soon as they say they are destroyed. It is scary to think about it."
"I'm afraid? What's the point of being afraid of? The Huns are the Huns, and the Da Qiang is the Da Qiang! The Da Qiang has high mountains and dense forests, dangerous mountains and bad waters. No matter how powerful the Qin army is, how can we do anything to us? We can't defeat the Qin army, but we are very nimble and we are first-class in our mountains and ridges. When we see that the situation is wrong, we go to the high mountains and dense forests, and we drill into the dangerous mountains and bad waters. The Qin army can only stare at it."
"That's true. If the Daqiang had not had high mountains and dense forests and dangerous mountains and bad waters to rely on, we would have been destroyed by the Qin army long ago."
For these Qiang people who have grown up in high mountains and dense forests and dangerous mountains and waters since childhood, high mountains and dense forests and dangerous mountains and waters are their back gardens. They come whenever they want and leave when they want. No one can stop them. Even the powerful Qin army cannot do it. When they mention this, they are full of confidence.
"Oh. At the beginning of winter this year, many warriors of Daqiang went to Qin to plunder, but they did not turn around. They must have been poisoned by the Qin army. In the beginning of winter, Daqiang did not go to plunder, but they had never suffered such losses as winter now. They were almost unlucky."
"What's so amazing about this? Qin Yiren led the Qin army to Wodong, Longxi. The Qin army in Longxi has greatly increased its strength. Can our warriors go to plunder and have a good ending?"
"When Qin Yiren is in Wodong, Longxi, will he have the idea of Da Qiang? I heard that Qin Yiren is the prince of Qin. He is resourceful, good at making decisions, and good at winning surprises. If he wants to lead his army to attack our Da Qiang, how should Da Qiang deal with it?"
A minister suddenly remembered what happened to Qin Yiren and raised questions.
"As for this matter, just put your heart back into your stomach." The Qiang King finally spoke, his voice a little rough, like thunder, and he said very disdainful: "Just relying on Qin Yiren, how can he give birth to the Great Qiang? The Great Qiang is not the Huns. In the desert, the Qin army can come and go freely, come and go as soon as you want. In the mountains and dense forests, no matter how many Qin army there are, it is useless. The Qin army boasts of being able to charge in the dangerous mountains and rivers?"
"Haha!" The ministers were very happy and laughed happily.
The desert is vast and boundless, and the Qin army can come and go freely. The Huns naturally cannot get it when they encounter a powerful Qin army. However, this is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with few empty grasslands, mostly high mountains and dense forests. Even if there are many Qin army, they cannot be dispelled. What can I use to fight against the Qiang?
The words of the Qiang King reached the hearts of the ministers, and they would not be able to be happy.
For a moment, the laughter was like thunder, shaking the ground, almost lifting the top of the tent away.
"I'm still hoping that Qin Yiren will come. If he dares to come, I will let him know how powerful the Great Qiang is!" The Qiang King Pu waved his right hand like a fan, as if it was a thousand pounds, very powerful, and his face was gloomy.
