Daily Life In Qin Dynasty - Chapter 206

Chapter 206 Entering Nanyang

Korea is a small country.

Crossing Nanyang, but within a hundred miles, you can reach the capital of South Korea—Xinzheng.

Therefore.

After Wang Jian defeated 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 back to their senses, Zhao and Wei, the two countries closest to South Korea, will immediately send troops to help South Korea.

After all, South Korea is weak.

However, South Korea is geographically an important “buffer point” between the 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 launches an attack, the situation of Zhao and Wei may 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.

However, it is a pity.

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 100,000 to cross the Yellow River, but found that an army also appeared on the other side, which was the 100,000 Qin Army led by Qin General Wang Ben.

The two armies faced each other across the bank for several days, but did not fight each other. Finally, the Zhao army retreated.

On the other hand, Wei Guo was also blocked by the 100,000 Qin army commanded by Meng Wu. The two sides fought for several rounds, regardless of the outcome.

in other words.

In order to attack South Korea this time, Qin State dispatched at least 400,000 troops.

If it weren’t for the current strength of Qin State, 400,000 troops marched at the same time, food and grass alone would be enough to cause a considerable burden to Qin State.

······

And in Nanyang City at this time.

Because Nanyang City fell fast enough, and Zuo Teng, the former Nanyang County Governor, comforted him, so the situation in Nanyang City at this time seemed to be quite stable.

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

But the disaster of war still exists.

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.

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 too much trouble.

And this was also a mistake, which made many guys who wanted to take advantage of the mess to settle down.

A certain day.

Two carriages drove slowly from a distance to the outside of Nanyang City, but before they approached, the carriages were stopped. At the same time, a crossbow was set up on the distant city wall, aiming at the two carriages.

“Who are you guys?”

A centurion of the Qin army in black armor stepped forward and asked loudly towards the two carriages.

Next second.

The curtain of the car was slowly opened, and then a woman with a good figure but with two hideous scars on her face got 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 bowed and said: “This subordinate didn’t know that Lord Shengping was coming, so please forgive me.”

Zhuyeqing arched her hands and said: “My lord ordered me to come here to do some things, and I ask this lord to make it easier for 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 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 the Qin army is by no means inferior to any leading general.

[Daqin Knife Creation Medicine] more than doubled the healing rate of Qin Jun’s injuries.

【New Grain】The Qin army will no longer worry about food and grass when fighting.

[Salt extraction method] allows Qin Jun to have sufficient salt intake.

Even when they attacked South Korea this time, even the soldiers at the bottom 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.

Including the centurion in front of him is no exception.

Because if it hadn’t been for the [Daqin Knife Creation 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 led the carriage to the city gate himself, 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 back of the carriage gradually disappeared from the corner of the street, the centurion looked away, turned and returned.

And not long after he returned to the team, he heard a few talkative soldiers beside him curiously saying: “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 then replied: “That is the person sent by that lord, can I not let him go!”

“The 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 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 a chatterbox.

When the centurion mentioned the purpose of Hanzhong, although he didn’t mean it in this way, he still couldn’t help twitching the corners of his mouth after listening to Da Tan’s words.

A family with three children, can they still eat a meal of meat every ten days?

What kind of family conditions must this be!

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 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 what the centurion meant, a few clever soldiers in the crowd heard it, and they were shocked.

“Hanzhong…My Lord, Captain, you don’t mean to say that the two carriages just now belonged to that lord! Now, what is that lord doing in Nanyang?”

Hearing this, the centurion glared at him again, and said, “Does the 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.” .”
