The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Win people's hearts, starting with children.

No one dared to talk to Ying Chang, and the children all bowed their heads in silence.

Seeing this, Yang Xiao quickly smiled at the children and said, "Little guys, the emperor's brother doesn't eat people. Didn't you say that you want to be a general and a knight? Ask the emperor's brother, maybe tomorrow he will become a general and a knight." Great hero!"

The emperor's brother?

When all the civil and military officials heard this word, their faces were a little strange. On the other hand, the children felt kind, and they looked at Ying Chang no longer so timidly and cautiously.

Ying Chang smiled lightly, sat down on the ground, looked at a child with a smile on his face and asked, "I heard you just now, you want to be a hero?"

The child who was asked was stunned and extremely nervous. After a while, he nodded.

"It's good for great knights to eradicate violence and make peace. It's good to draw swords to help when you see injustice, but Daqin has laws, and eradicating violence and peace is a matter for the government. Parents and officials, working for the common people, this is more practical than being a hero!"

"And you, you said you want to be a general, I tell you, you can be a general if you don't have martial arts. When you go back, study hard on the art of war, you may not be able to become a famous general!"

"..."

Yingchang said a lot in one breath, setting life goals for one child after another. The words of the emperor are definitely more effective than the words of parents or even anyone, especially the words of the sage. I believe that these children will work hard after they go back. Do what Ying always says.

"That's all for now, Yang Xiao, come with me!" Ying Chang looked at Yang Xiao, causing the latter to be slightly taken aback, only to see Yang Xiao questioningly in a tone: "Where are you going?"

"General Zuo will be here soon, follow me to welcome you!"

"what?"

Yang Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and then his face turned bitter. Seeing Yang Xiao's expression, Ying Chang and other civil and military officials were a little puzzled. Shouldn't he be happy that his brother is here?Why did you still look unhappy.

Ying Chang and the others didn't ask in detail, because time was running out, and soon, Ying Chang took Yang Xiao and Baiguan away. When Ying Chang left, the children's eyes were all on Ying Chang's back, Those innocent eyes were full of endless concern.

The emperor looked down to see Daqin's hope, and the child looked up to see Daqin's faith.

......

rumbling...

call~

A wave of horses neighing sounded from the west, and the red tassels were swaying, tens of thousands of horses were galloping, and a thick cloud of dust was rolled up. The whole land was trembling slightly. With the passage of time, a large-scale cavalry appeared. In the eyes of Ying Chang and other officials.

Yang Long, who was at the forefront of the cavalry, dressed in armor and a yellow tasseled helmet, couldn't help being moved when he saw His Majesty and all the officials standing at the gate of the camp.

"Speed ​​up, Your Majesty is ahead!" Yang Long raised his arms and shouted, clamping down on the horse's belly with his legs, the horse suffered from pain, and the speed increased instantly, and the rest of the cavalry also scrambled to get a glimpse of Longyan.

The Yang family army has been stationed on the west and south borders for a long time. The Emperor of Qin is both familiar and unfamiliar to them. Now that he is about to meet the hero, everyone is quite excited.

"The Yang family's army is worthy of being the elite master of the Great Qin Dynasty. Judging by its momentum, it has the potential to swallow mountains and rivers with arrogance!"

"Stunning, I am Da Qin!"

"Lost land is gained, lost land is gained!"

"With the Yang family army here, it doesn't matter if the Qin army is the enemy!"

"That's right, there are only a handful of armies in the world that can compete with the Yang family's army. It's good that the Qin army is a friend, but if it's an enemy, the entire army will definitely be wiped out!"

Seeing the majesty of the Yang family's army, Ying Chang and other civil and military officials were shocked, feeling very proud and proud, and they were determined to regain the lost ground!

"What a powerful formation!"

"This is the Great Qin Iron Cavalry. One day, I want to be one of them!"

"One day, the iron hooves of the great Qin cavalry will crush the Jin Empire and wash away the hatred of the country!"

At this time, countless old Qin people heard the news and came one after another. When they saw the majestic Daqin cavalry, the old Qin people showed pride one after another. Some children even looked forward to becoming a member of the Daqin cavalry one day.

When Yang Long led [-] iron cavalry to ten steps before Yingchang, the army stopped immediately. Yang Long jumped off his horse, knelt down on one knee and shouted to Yingchang with a solemn expression: "General Zuo!" Yang Long pays homage to His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

The [-] cavalry also jumped off their horses one after another, all knelt on one knee and shouted: "We pay homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Ying Chang looked around everyone with sharp eyes, immediately raised his hands, and said in a sonorous and forceful tone: "All the generals are flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" All the soldiers shouted in unison, and then stood up one after another, with solemn faces, staring straight ahead with an unsmiling look, exuding a strong murderous aura!

??

Chapter 199 Killing two birds with one stone!

Chang Ying slowly walked up to Yang Long, and patted Yang Long's generous shoulder, "General Yang led the army to attack all the way, thank you General Yang!"

Hearing this, Yang Long knelt down on one knee again and wrote an essay: "How dare the last general talk about hard work? Your Majesty led the old Qin people to swear to the death of Yangguan, defeating an enemy ten times taller than yourself, that is called hard work. Your Majesty said." The last general has worked so hard, it really makes the last general feel ashamed and ashamed, I only hate that the last general did not come before the defeat of the Jin army, and was unable to kill the enemy and serve the country, please Your Majesty forgive me!"

Like most people, Yang Long was extremely shocked by the almost total annihilation of the 50 Jin army. It is the old Qin people who protect Qin soil and protect them.

It is a disgrace to the soldiers that ordinary people go to the battlefield to protect the country!

Ying Chang stretched out his hand to support Yang Long, and said with a look of self-reproach: "Speaking of this, it's not your fault, let alone the Yang family's army. The old Qin people dragged their families and came to the front line to support, causing countless innocent old and weak to die on the battlefield, this is my fault, it is none of your business!"

"Your Majesty does not..."

Ying Chang suddenly interrupted: "Okay, the matter is over, it's useless to talk too much, you arrange the soldiers to go down to rest, and you follow me to enter the account to discuss the matter!"

Seeing this, Yang Long stopped saying anything and nodded immediately.

"Second brother!"

At this time, Yang Xiao ran over with a bright smile on his face, and spread his hands as if he wanted to hug Yang Long.

Snapped!a crisp sound

Just when everyone thought they could see the picture of brother and sister's deep love, they didn't expect Yang Long to slap his face coldly, leaving a deep five-finger red mark on Yang Xiao's left face. Yang Xiao's smile froze, his eyes were red, and his eyes With tears shining, he covered his left face with one hand, and looked at Yang Long with grievances all over his face.

She was already prepared to be scolded, but she didn't expect that Yang Long would hit her without scolding, leaving her unprepared for it. After a slap in the face, she was stunned and wronged.

This was the first time he was beaten since he was a child.

"What are you doing?" Du Changjing quickly stepped forward, frowning and staring at Yang Long, his eyes seemed to ask, Yang Long, are you insane.

Bai Qi also walked up at this time, staring directly at Yang Long with a pair of cold red eyes, which greatly increased the pressure on the latter, a trace of cold sweat involuntarily shed from his forehead, Ying Chang was a little confused, isn't the relationship between the Yang family brothers and sisters very good? ?Yang Hu and Yang Long are notoriously heartbroken sisters, why did they suddenly slap Yang Xiao so hard.

Yang Long glared at Yang Xiao, then knelt down on one knee, facing Ying Changzuo and said: "Your Majesty, my sister has been spoiled by the family since she was a child, she has a wild temper, and she is lawless at home, but there will be no Thinking of my younger sister running away from home, disguised as a girl and sneaking into the military camp, and disrespecting orders during night raids, I will beg His Majesty to forgive my younger sister's life, and I will finally be willing to pay all the price!"

Yang Long's tone was full of pleading. On the way here, he heard all about Yang Xiao's deeds, especially his disobedience during the night attack, which shocked him a lot.

The Yang family is a family of generals, generals are most taboo to disobey orders, but Yang Xiao not only disobeys orders, but also resists His Majesty's orders. This is emotionally and rationally unbearable, and he must be taught a lesson, otherwise bigger things will happen later.

His slap was specifically for Ying Chang to see, indirectly telling Ying Chang that no matter who it is, disobedience is a crime, including the Yang family. It will make people feel that the Yang family is relying on the Yang family army to ignore military discipline and imperial power.

At that time, as long as someone blows Yingchang's ear, it will immediately arouse Yingchang's suspicion of the Yang family.

Yang Long's move was a bitter plan, and it was also preconceived. He took the initiative to tell Yang Xiao's crimes, then slapped Yang Xiao in front of tens of thousands of people, and finally begged Yang Xiao to spare his life, so that others would gossip if they wanted to.

Ying Chang, who is as witty as a monster, also guessed Yang Long's intention after a short period of buffering. Regarding this, Ying Chang really wanted to tell Yang Long that you were worrying too much.

To be honest, at the beginning, he was very dissatisfied with Yang Xiao. After all, Yang Xiao was disobedient and talked back. If it wasn't for the fact that Yang Xiao was the young lady of the Yang family, fifty military sticks would be indispensable. But now, Yang Xiao Xiao restrained his temper a lot and became very obedient, and he saved his life again, so Ying often felt that he couldn't say anything about Yang Xiao.

"Yang Xiao is indeed guilty!" Ying Chang said softly with no expression on his face.

Sitting in this position, you can say whatever you want, if you say that Yang Xiao is innocent, what will the officials think?What do the old Qin people think?What do tens of thousands of soldiers think?National laws and military discipline seem to be solid and unshakable, but as long as a precedent is set, they become empty shelves, without deterrent and persuasive force.

Hearing this sentence, all civil and military officials nodded secretly, Yang Xiao lowered his head, full of grievances in his heart, the most nervous person was Yang Long, Yang Long looked anxious, and said in a hurried tone: "Your Majesty, my sister's crime , will be punished at the end!"

"Ms. Yang Xiao disguised herself as a man and sneaked into the army camp. This is a crime. Disobedience in wartime is a second crime. Saving my life in battle is a meritorious service. She protects me in wartime and stays close. You can learn from her loyalty." , This is two merits, return to Xianyang to Yangguan to kill the enemy and serve the country, and women will not give up their male eyebrows, this is three merits!"

"I have clear rewards and punishments. If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded. If you are guilty, you will be punished. Yang Xiao has three merits and two crimes. The merits and demerits are equal, and no reward is not punished. What do you love? Is it fair?" Ying Chang looked solemn, and his tone was full of seriousness, exuding Full-bodied imperial majesty.

Your Majesty is worthy of being a holy king, he really kills two birds with one stone.

Chang Zifei thought to himself, and couldn't help feeling admiration for Ying Chang, because Ying Chang said that, even if he saved Yang Xiao, he also conveyed to the people of the world through this incident that the Great Qin court has clear rewards and punishments, and the politics is clear. Breaking the law is the same crime as the common people!

"Your Majesty is fair and just, and I have nothing to say!" The handsome and unrestrained Royal Censor Changqing stood up and expressed his opinion.

"Your Majesty is holy!!" All civil and military officials bowed down and shouted together.

"Your Majesty! Long live! Long live! Long live!!"

The [-] cavalrymen and [-] old Qin people also let go of their throats and raised their arms and shouted, uttering an earth-shattering, earth-shattering shout. The voices swept across a radius of ten miles like sea waves, causing wild birds in the mountains to fly everywhere.

Ying Chang's words can't find any faults, and they are naturally convincing, so what is the virtue and prestige?What is convincing people with virtue?This is the virtue of high prestige, and the virtue of convincing people, what is the art of the emperor?This is the art of the king.

PS: "Please recommend a ticket, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a full subscription, for the sake of Daqin, the warriors of Daqin vote, subscribe!"

Chapter 200 Lost ground is gained!

Internally, convincing people with virtue can win the hearts of the people of the world, be supported by the people, and make the officials die-hard; externally, convincing people with military force can deter neighboring countries, promote the prestige of the country, establish national self-confidence, and make all countries dare not offend. If the emperor does this, the emperor is a respected hero and sage, admired by future generations!

Yang Long breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed with gratitude, and wrote: "The final general thanked His Majesty for your kindness, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Yang Xiao also knelt down at this time, and composed with a more complicated expression: "Yang Xiao thanked His Majesty for your kindness, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Get up!" Ying Chang raised his hand blankly, and Yang Long and Yang Xiao got up immediately.

This matter was considered to be a successful conclusion. Next, [-] cavalry entered the camp to rest, and hundreds of civil and military officials entered the account to discuss the matter.

Inside the handsome account.

Ying Chang sat upright on the commander-in-chief with a calm face, and all the civil and military officials stood on the left and right sides. The big tent was very quiet. After a while, Ying Chang asked Yang Long: "Yang Zuo General, didn’t I ask you to come here with [-] soldiers and horses? Why did I take a rough look, and there didn’t seem to be [-]!”

Hearing this, Yang Long immediately took a small step to the right, walked out of the ranks of military officers, and bowed respectfully to report: "Your Majesty, the last general indeed led [-] soldiers and horses, but the [-] infantry came because they were on foot. , and escorted a large amount of food and grass, resulting in a large slowdown, the [-] infantry are expected to arrive at Yangguan in about ten days!"

Ying Chang nodded thoughtfully, and Yang Long retreated back to the rank of military officers when he saw this.

"Where is the Minister of the Household Department?" Ying Chang called out.

Hubu Shangshu Jia Luo hurriedly took a step to the left, bent over respectfully and replied, "The minister is here!"

"How much food is there in Yangguan?" Ying Chang asked in a calm tone.

"Yangguan has enough food and grass, about 20 shi, enough to feed a [-] army for a year!" Jia Luo replied respectfully.

Originally, Yangguan consumed almost the same amount of food and grass, but the food of the Jin army was seized.

"When the remaining [-] pawns arrive, the old Qin people will be sent back to their hometown immediately. Each old Qin person will be given one stone of grain as a severance payment. Remember, this is not a reward, nor a pension, but a severance payment, a reward and a pension. The distribution will be made after the war, and the old Qin people must be clearly informed of this!" Ying Chang's tone carried a strong sense of exhortation.

If this matter is not explained, some old Qin people will definitely think that it is a pension and a reward. As long as one old Qin person thinks so, then all the old Qin people will think so, and the old Qin people will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable at that time. Ying Chang didn't want to see it.

"Of order!" Jarrow replied solemnly.

After dealing with this matter, Yingchang looked around the civil and military officials, and then said with a solemn expression: "Now that the Jin army has withdrawn from Wujin Pass, no one in Hebei, Huainan, and Nanyang counties can stop me. There is banditry in the county, the leader of the bandit is bold, and there are thousands of bandits under his command. He claims to be the Qin army, and the enemy and friends are unknown at present, which is a hidden danger!"

Speaking of which, Yingchang got up from the commander-in-chief and walked slowly to the map. The rest of the civil and military officials also gathered together, all looking at the map. Yingchang raised his hand and stretched out his fingers to point at the left side of Hedong County. Beiping County said in a neutral tone: "Zuo Beiping County is the home of the Fuqin Army. I want to send someone to Zuo Beiping County to ask Ma Daudao what he means, and find out his bottom line."

After finishing speaking, Ying Chang pointed to Yangguan again, "While sending people to negotiate, General Yang Zuo will lead the army out of the pass, while seizing the lost ground, while extending towards Zuo Beiping County. , then surround and kill them!"

"Who is your Majesty planning to send there?" Chang Zifei asked Ying Chang intently.

The rest of the officials also looked at Ying Chang, wondering who Ying Chang would send to negotiate.

"Who wants to go?" Ying Chang turned around and asked everyone.

"I would like to go!" Jarrow replied without thinking.

"Then you, leave in ten days!" Ying Chang acted decisively without delay.

"As ordered!"

Next, Ying Chang continued to discuss with many ministers for a while, and then asked everyone to retreat. Now that everything is ready, it is only due to Dongfeng. As long as [-] Yang Family Army infantry arrive, a large-scale plan to regain lost land can be launched!

At night, the bright moon looks down on the world like an emperor, and the stars surround it like a million iron soldiers, watching the vast land.

Yang Xiao was sitting by the fire alone, with his depressed face propped up in both hands, looking listlessly at the exuberant flames, watching and watching, the sense of grievance rose from his heart again, tears gleamed in his eyes, and teardrops streaked across his face over the cheek.

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, pretending to be strong, but the more she wiped away, the beautiful face was covered with tears, but she still didn't cry.

She knew that it was her own fault, and she deserved it, but when she thought of her second brother who loved her so much, she felt wronged, and when she thought about it, she felt wronged. The slap marks on his body still haven't faded, and it still hurts to touch. Obviously, Yang Long didn't show mercy.

"Daddy..." Yang Xiao suddenly missed Daddy, and thought, if Daddy was around, the second brother would not dare to hit him even if he had the guts to eat a leopard.

"Wipe it!"

At this time, a delicate voice sounded from behind Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao was taken aback. He turned his head subconsciously and saw a man standing behind him wearing a black dragon robe, a black dragon golden crown, a dragon head belt around his waist, and gold bronzing on his feet. The boy with the dragon boots.

The young man has delicate facial features, a pair of deep and shining eyes, and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He can be described as a phoenix-like dragon, with a dignified appearance, and a handsome young man!

"Your Majesty..."

"There is no one here, no need to salute!"

Yang Xiao was about to salute, but was interrupted by Ying Chang raising his hand. Just when Yang Xiao was at a loss, Ying Chang took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao quickly got up, glanced at the small porcelain bottle, Can't help but ask in doubt: "What is this?"

"General Hussar was injured earlier. This is the medicine given to him by the doctor accompanying the army. It is specially used to reduce swelling and remove marks. I saw that he was healed, so I took the remaining medicine from him. Originally, I wanted to send someone I gave it to you to wipe your face, but I happened to pass by and saw you, so I just gave it to you with my own hands." Ying Chang said with a gentle smile on his face.

Yang Xiao bit his thin lips with his white teeth, and was moved in his heart.
