"The Jianghuai water network is vertical and horizontal, and the ministers are not accustomed to water warfare."

Qin Qiong has never been out of the town alone, he is only in command of an army of 25,000 men and horses at most, and he is not afraid of commanding thousands of cavalry and infantry, but when he thinks of the rivers everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, he feels that the tactics he knew in the past are not applicable.

This burly general of the Ma Army is at his peak now, he is young and strong, and there are not many injuries. It is said that the fist is afraid of being less strong, in fact, the northern generals, especially since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the generals in the north are generally cavalry generals, and they are generally fierce generals who can lead the cavalry charge.

This is almost all the changes brought about by the innovation of weapons and tactics since the Wei and Jin dynasties, before the Han Dynasty, the generals would not charge, and more often commanded under the banner. But with the emergence of stirrups, especially horse armor, the Central Plains cavalry appeared mainly assault cavalry, so the generals were mainly cavalry generals who charged into battle.

These charging riders are at their peak when they are in their thirties and forties, and after that, they will decline due to too many injuries.

Qin Qiong in history, not long after Tang Kaiguo, he almost withdrew from the stage, because he was injured too much, there were too many injuries, and it was difficult to put on the battlefield again, in his words, he fought hundreds of times when he was young, and the blood he shed was several fights.

"It's true that the southerners are good at boating and the northerners are good at riding, but the north still has a natural combat power to suppress the south. You must know that there is a lack of cavalry in the south, especially the lack of heavy cavalry, although their sailors and infantry are also very powerful, but when facing heavy cavalry, they are naturally weak. Later, there was a rebellion, and there were only a small number of cavalry, but it still destroyed the entire Southern Dynasty. ”

"Du Fuwei's defeat was actually just his carelessness to underestimate the enemy, and the imperial court went all out to the north this time, and transferred many soldiers to the front line of the Yellow River, which made Huainan empty and gave thieves a chance. Now that the Turks have fallen, there is no need to worry about the number of troops. I will give you an army of 24,000 people, and then pull Su Dingfang to be your deputy, and you go to Jianghuai, where there are also Wang Xiongdan, Kan Ling and Ximen Junyi, the three generals, in addition to the auxiliary Gonghu is also Jianghuaitong. ”

"Your Majesty, why don't you just let Fu Gonghu take over?" Qin Qiong asked.

Luo Cheng smiled, "This is a long story, Li Zitong reversed, revealing that Du Fu and the others do still have a lot of problems in Jianghuai, which is not a big problem, but it really needs to be rectified." Besides, this Northern Expedition, after defeating the Turks, although the battle in the north has not yet ended, it is time to start preparing for the south of the Pingjiang River. ”

The most important thing in choosing Qin Qiong, the cavalry general, is that Qin Qiong is the most loyal and trustworthy, and he is also steady.

"Your Majesty, the Turks have all come down the mountain, all their weapons have been thrown at the foot of the mountain, and several small hills have been piled up." Wei Chigong came over to report.

The emperor got up and said to Qin Qiong, "Let's go, let's enjoy the fruits of our victory first, and we'll talk about the rest later." ”

White climb down the mountain.

Groups of Turks descended the hill in despair, lined up at the foot of the mountain, throwing aside their knives and guns, all the bits and pieces that hung on their bodies, axes, bones, hammers, clubs, knives, bow bags, quivers, cowhide cords, bowstrings, fire sickles, and so on.

After throwing away the weapons and bits and pieces, I had to take off all the iron armor or leather armor on my body and throw it away.

At first, the Turks were very reluctant, but the Qin army on the other side said that they had to get rid of it, so they had to take it off again.

Some Turks were very annoyed, so they simply took off their cleans as if venting, and the stripes swayed down.

Most of them only had a shirt.

Fortunately, autumn has just begun, and the weather is cool.

"It's a spectacular scene!"

When the emperor saw that scene, he couldn't help but laugh.

A group of ministers of the Qin army, civil and military affairs, came to watch this scene, for everyone, after a few months of hard work, this is the most comfortable scene.

"Your Majesty, we won, we defeated the Turks again, defeated Jieli's ambitions, and now, no one dares to fight against my Great Qin."

"Jieli has also dropped?"

"Jieli ran away." Wei Wensheng, the secretary of the military department, told the emperor with some regret, "The minister has sent light cavalry to pursue and arrest him." ”

Luo Cheng doesn't care, what if Jieli runs away, 200,000 people go south, except for the 50,000 people who go north to pursue Heiye first, the remaining 150,000 are considered to be wiped out. Even if Jieli can escape back to Mobei, what can the Turks still pull up 100,000 and 200,000 people? I didn't dare to come south again, so to speak, this defeat, Jieli has already lost his net worth.

"Wei Shilang."

Wei Zheng stepped forward, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

"Give a decree to the Khan of the Tiele Khanate in Mobei, let him be ordered to conquer the Turkic rebellion in Mobei! You tell him that for every Turkic young man and woman he captures and gives it to Daqin, I will reward him with twenty silks, and ten silks for the old and weak. If he captures the Turkic cattle and horses, I will do it too. A good Turkic horse was given twenty silks, and inferior horses were collected at the price of fifteen and ten horses each, and cattle were collected at the price of ten, eight, and six silks. Even if it's dried meat, I want it. ”

"I can collect as many Turkic slaves, cattle and horses as he can send, and I can exchange silk for tea, wine, salt, cloth and other commercial goods."

Wei Zheng took a breath.

"Your Majesty, how can you come, I'm afraid that the Turks will be wiped out."

"If you extinguish, you will perish, so what's the matter?" The emperor said domineeringly, since he dared to invade the south again and again, he had to be prepared for this extermination.

Daqin took out some money, wealth, and goods, and he could destroy the Turks, and Luo Cheng felt that it was worth it, not to mention, the Turkic slaves, cattle and horses were also valuable and important resources that could strengthen the national strength.

The secret envoy Zhang Xutuo reminded the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the Tiele people in Mobei will take the opportunity to sit big and unify Mobei."

The emperor shook his head, "There is no need to be afraid, if the Tiele people want to completely replace the Turks to occupy Mobei, there will inevitably be a bloody battle, and when they completely defeat the Turks, I believe that Daqin has completely unified the Central Plains, and even if the Tiele people occupy Mobei at that time, there is still nothing to fear." ”

Wei Wensheng stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the minister requests to kill these 100,000 Turkic soldiers!"

Xiao Yu immediately came out to oppose it.

"Your Majesty, it is ominous to kill prisoners. Besides, since the Turks have surrendered, there is no need to kill. The minister thought that it was better to settle these Turks in the area of the south and north of the desert, thinking that it was a frontier domain. ”

But the emperor just shook his head.

"Wei Qing's words about killing 100,000 people are too aggressive, and what Xiao Shilang said about placing them on the spot is too lenient, and I think neither is feasible."
