Chapter five hundred and second home
In the 14th year of Emperor Qin, there was a civil strife in the Yuezhi. Due to Ganluo's intervention, a fierce war broke out in the Hexi Corridor. From the border of Qin to the Western Regions, more than 16 small countries and tribes participated. The war lasted for two years. By the 16th year of Emperor Qin, Ma Fujunkang of Qin led the Northern Army to the border, and officially participated in the war in the name of the Yuezhi War spreading to Qin and quelling the rebellion for the Yuezhi King.
Kang led the Northern Army to ambush the invading Qiang people in Yuezhi. In the first battle, he won 30,000. The Qiang people were frightened and wanted to evacuate the battlefield. Ma Fujun ordered General Meng Tian as the main force, and Cao Shen assisted, and divided his troops to attack Qiang areas... General Meng Tian took the strategy of attacking the heart and defeated the Qiang people many times, but treated their leaders well, did not harm them, released prisoners, and did not kill them indiscriminately, which caused the Qiang people to quickly lose their will to resist. Most of the leaders of the Qiang tribes were grateful to Meng Tian and led their people to surrender.
In the 16th year of Emperor Shihuang, Qin State established the Qiangyi Road in the northwest, governing local people, building roads, opening schools, and reclaiming arable land.
Ma Fujunkang continued to lead the main force to attack, defeated the Yuezhi rebels outside the Yuezhi King's tent, executed his leader, and won 60,000 or 70,000. Then he attacked the Yuezhi King's army, and won 20,000. The Yuezhi King fled in a hurry and fled to the Western Regions. Ma Fujun was dominated by General Wang Ben, and ordered Yang Duanhe to assist him to divide his troops to attack the Xiongnu, and he led the main force to continue pursuing the Yuezhi King's army.
In the previous war, the Huns annexed many tribes and restored some strength. Wang Ben and Touman Shanyu fought for several months but could not win. The two sides confronted each other outside the northern region. General Sima Shang and Li Xin went out of Yanmen and attacked Touman Shanyu with Wang Ben. Touman was frightened and immediately fled northward. Sima Shang and Wang Ben pursued. Li Xin got lost halfway and encountered Ding Ling's army and won 20,000 yuan.
In the 17th year of Emperor Shihuang, the Hexi Corridor was pacified and the Yuezhi continued to flee. Qin State set up Anding and Jincheng County outside Fufeng County. Ma Fujun was stationed in Anding County and did not rush to pursue it. After the Yuezhi people attacked various parts of the Western Regions and began a melee, Ma Fujun attacked without rushing and slowly defeated the Yuezhi army and even the local tribes, and opened up huge territory. In the 18th year of Emperor Shihuang's establishment of Wuwei County.
The war in the northwest continued. The Taiwei Wang Jian formulated a war plan for the northwest and proposed to train an army as a backup for the Northern Army. At that time, the emperor established an army with the garrison and Fufeng County to serve as the Western Army. The Taiwei Wang Jian trained it with a total of 50,000 people, divided into five schools, and was a backup for the Northern Army. In that year, the King of Donghu died of illness and ordered the whole country to move eastward and not to compete with Qin.
The eldest son of the King of Donghu ascended the throne, colluded with the two countries of Korea to invade Liaodong. General Li Mu led his army to attack, and won 60,000 yuan, and killed the leader of the King of Donghu. The Donghu was scattered and each other was in power. The tribes were in conflict and fought against each other. In that year, people from Liaodong said they could be killed, but General Li Mu blocked it and proposed to appease him. Four Donghu tribes surrendered one after another and entered Liaodong and other places for the people. General Li Mu went out to Korea again, defeated the Later Yan, captured the King of Yan Dan, and Dan wore a crown and a sword holding a letter, and committed suicide.
In the 19th year of Emperor Shihuang, Ma Fujun's troops came out of Wuwei, defeated Yuezhi, and defeated Wusun, setting up three counties of Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang. The emperor was overjoyed and used Ma Fujun as Ma Fujun Marquis.
The Mafuhou wrote a letter asking to attack the Western Regions. Han Fei and his ministers dissuaded him, thinking that the Northern Army had been fighting for many years and had consumed a lot of national strength and could not be re-employed. The emperor agreed and ordered the Mafuhou to return to his army.
In the 20th year of Emperor Qin Shihuang, the Northern Army returned to Xianyang... The officials stood on the side of the road and stood on their backs to welcome the expeditionary army. The soldiers of the Northern Army held their heads and chests, walked on the road, and led the attention of the people. In the position of the central army, Zhao Kang stood on the chariot. Behind him, the flags of horse uniforms fluttered in the wind, and countless people exclaimed, years of war made Zhao Kang look more mature, and he stood on the chariot with a strong back and awesome.
Xianyang gradually appeared in front of him. Zhao Kang asked the soldiers of the Northern Army to stop, and his chariot came to the position of the front army. In the distance, the emperor led the ministers to greet the fierce man. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was a fierce man. This foreign war, Zhao Kang and Gan Luo were the first contribution. Gan Luo's contribution weakened the strength of the countries in the northwest, made them kill each other, and even attracted many enemies. Zhao Kang's contribution destroyed them.
Before sending troops, everyone thought that Zhao Kang would pacify the Yuezhi, but they didn't expect it to be so fast. In the past three years, Zhao Kang fought all the way without stopping, and conquered all the land from Fufeng to Dunhuang. At this distance, a knight would have to ride a horse for a year. Therefore, Zhao Kang's speed was very amazing. It can be said that he was victorious in every battle along the way. The Yuezhi, Xiongnu, and Qiang all ran away with their heads in their arms, saying that they were invincible.
He had almost no pause, and after one battle after another, the result was that after the battle in recent years, the Northern Army suffered less than 20,000 casualties. Even the Grand Marshal Wang Jian was frightened by Zhao Kang's offensive efficiency and could not speak... When Zhao Kang got off the carriage, the emperor laughed and walked to his side. Like him, Ying Zheng was much more mature and began to develop in the direction of big belly. Although he was also strong, he was still much shorter than Zhao Kang.
Zhao Kang paid homage to his brother and followed him into Xianyang. The soldiers of the Northern Army returned to the schoolyard and received their rewards there.
"Greetings to Father Zhong!" The young prince of the empire respectfully paid homage to Zhao Kang. Zhao Kang looked at Fusu in front of him, and a smile appeared on his cold face, "It's not bad." As he said that, he patted Fusu on the shoulder. Fusu shook all over and almost couldn't resist it. Although it hurt, it was still very serious. Seeing his appearance, Zhao Kang curled his lips, complained a few times, and then went to the banquet.
The banquet was still as usual, and Zhao Kang became much more steady and no longer boasted about his achievements as before. However, even if he didn't say it, no one dared to underestimate him. The emperor rewarded him with a lot of gifts. Even Wang Jian sat beside him and asked him how he achieved such offensive efficiency. The ministers had already started bragging. Everyone smiled and praised: "It's not a pity that he is the son of Marquis Wu Cheng, who has the style of his father!"
"Yes, I heard that Marquis Wu Cheng had left behind a military strategy..."
"Marquis Wu Cheng also advanced thousands of miles from Xianyang within half a year, all the way to Wei..."
The smile on Zhao Kang's face gradually solidified. He wanted to say something, but said nothing, lowered his head and ate the wine bitterly. Zhao Kang had just returned to Xianyang, and the emperor did not keep him for too long. When Zhao Kang returned to the door of the mansion, the mansion was quiet. Zhao Kang knocked on the door. After knocking for a long time, no one opened the door... Zhao Kang frowned and bumped violently, and then knocked open the door.
Zhao Kang walked into the mansion. The mansion was empty, and the old tree in the courtyard had already withered... Without a single figure, Zhao Kang seemed to be a little awake.
"Which thief?! Dare to break into my father's mansion?!" Suddenly, a roar came and saw a man pounced over. Before Zhao Kang could react, he was thrown to the ground and was punched several times. Zhao Kang was furious and elbowed, and only heard a muffled groan. The person who attacked him from behind stopped moving... Zhao Kang stood up, Zhao Xiuzheng lay on the ground, covering his face, humming in pain.
"I'm going to rebel!" Zhao Kang was so angry that he kicked him again. At this time, under the moonlight, Zhao Xiu saw his father's face clearly, "Ah? Father? Aren't you attending a banquet in the palace?" Zhao Kang gritted his teeth and took Zhao Xiu's fists as soon as he got home. It was really unlucky. He said angrily: "I've just returned, why are you here?"
"I heard a noise here, and I thought I was thief. It was so dark and I couldn't see clearly..."
"You bastard!" Zhao Kang kicked him a few more times, and someone suddenly shouted behind him: "Which thief dares to break into my father's mansion! You dare to hurt my brother!!"
After a while, Mao also sat next to Zhao Xiu, covering his face, humming in pain. Zhao Kang sat in front of them, with a dark face, "I have been in the northwest for three or four years, but I have not been injured. When I went home, I took a fist..."
"Father...", the two young men lowered their heads and whispered. Years have passed, and both of them have grown up. Zhao Xiu is still fine, becoming more handsome and slender. When he walks on the road, there are countless girls who want to elope with him. However, Zhao Xiu has no interest in them and is mixed with Mao all day long... As for Mao, it is hard to describe. From when he started to grow inhumanely.
The whole person began to develop towards width, and the big and thick ones were not enough to describe him. He had a bear back, bear waist, bear hands, and bear legs, plus his thick beard on his face. What a Black Wind King who steals the cassock. Sitting beside him, Zhao Xiu was like a child. Zhao Kang was a little surprised. In just three years, why did my child turn from a human to a bear? However, there are also benefits of becoming a bear.
At least, no one dares to bully him anymore. The powerful and noble sons in Xianyang fought and could rush into the other party's crowd by just one person, grab the head opposite, carry him out and beat him up... Zhao Xiu hadn't competed with him for a long time... He always refused, and said that they were all old and could no longer fight.
Zhao Kang took the two back home and began to rest at home with peace of mind.
It was at this time that Mao found Zhao Kang and suggested that he wanted to go home to see his mother... Zhao Kang lowered his head and looked at Mao sitting in front of him. He knew where Mao was going. After pondering for a long time, he asked, "Are you going back this time, or are you going to stay in your hometown?" Mao had almost no time to hesitate, and he said, "I will go home after I finish my own business..."
When he heard Mao say he went home, Zhao Kang's face calmed down a little. He sighed, took out his sword and threw it to him, "You must remember that you are the grandson of Wu Chenghou, don't do anything to be sorry to him... Otherwise, my father will not forgive you, nor will I." Mao picked up the sword and looked at Zhao Kang in front of him. He seemed to understand something, and his face turned pale.
"No problem...go, remember to go home early."
"only!"
After walking out of the inner room, Zhao Xiu had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw the man who came out, he had a lot of words in his heart. In the end, he just sighed and asked, "When will you leave?"
"Let's go tomorrow." The two of them have been playing since childhood, but now they are reluctant to part. They have never left. From childhood to adulthood, no matter where they go, they are together. Zhao Xiu was a little sad, but he still smiled and wished the best of his journey. The two of them secretly took some wine from their father and went to drink together. They had fun. The two were drunk and talked a lot.
After leaving Xianyang, Zhao Xiu stood there and bid farewell to his good brother. He rode his horse and ran away. Someone shouted behind him: "Remember to go home earlier!!"
This road is still very far away, because no one dared to make things difficult for the passes given by Zhao Kang along the way, but the Huns had already gone north at this moment, and it was not easy to find them. After leaving the Qin land, they kept searching for the whereabouts of the Huns on the grassland. They experienced a lot along the way, some thieves wanted to kill him, some beautiful women from tribes wanted to marry him, and some tribes wanted to accept him.
After more than a year, Mao finally found his own tribe. The weak Huns were licking their wounds silently. Touman Shanyu became even more irritable and moody. When Maodun stood in front of his father, Touman Shanyu was shocked, and he did not dare to confirm whether it was his son. After asking a lot of things, Touman was finally sure that he happily hugged his son and told his ministers that his eldest son was back!
Maodun's face was a little cold, and he just asked, "Where is the mother?"
Touman was stunned, but did not answer. He found one of his subordinates, asked, and said disapprovingly: "She is no longer here, it has been several years..."
Although he had already guessed in his heart, when he actually learned the news, Maodun still seemed a little irritable. He suppressed the grief in his heart and asked, "How did my mother leave?" He didn't expect to get any answer from Touman. After Touman's perfunctory, he started to cry. Touman hurriedly comforted him. Soon, he stopped crying and happily chatted with his father about his experiences over the years.
Starting the next day, Maodun wandered around the Huns, made friends, and asked about his mother in private.
"You said that old man? I know her. She is crazy and asks about your whereabouts...I gave her some food."
"Old Mrs. Yan? We all know that she seems to have been frozen to death..."
"She was beaten to death. I saw the servant of Xin Yan breaking her head with a wooden stick..."
"Oh...Old Man? She was starved to death... Shanyu doesn't like her..."
Maodun stood on the high slope, looking at the herdsmen in front of him calmly, looking at the livestock with their heads down and eating grass. He seemed to see an old woman in the distance asking about her son's whereabouts, enduring hunger and cold, suffering insults, and going crazy under great pain. Until she passed away, she could not see her son... Maodun suddenly laughed, tears kept falling, and no one could tell whether he was crying or laughing.
Touman Shanyu handed over more than 5,000 cavalry to Maodun and asked him to lead them.
