Ten miles outside Xianyang City, a wide carriage stopped in the middle of the road. The carriage was led by six horses, with a canopy on it. The Emperor of the First Emperor sat upright. Next to the carriage was an inner official holding a pallet. On it was a bronze wine pot and several three-legged bronze wine lorries. The officials were arranged on both sides.

The carriage is not a carriage, there is no carriage, and it is somewhat similar to the rickshaws in later generations. It is just a carriage pulling. Meng Yi and all the cavalry dismounted twenty feet in front of the carriage in Shihuang and walked forward on foot.

The First Emperor got off the carriage, and the inner officials immediately filled the wine. Meng Yi knelt on one knee in front of the First Emperor, and the army behind him also knelt down.

"The last general Meng Yi, on the order of our emperor, led a large army to defeat Di Rong and defend our border. Now he will not let down the trust of our emperor and will win the victory and return to triumph."

The First Emperor said with relief: "All the soldiers are calm, General Meng will drink this celebratory wine with me."

"Thank you, Emperor."

The First Emperor looked into the crowd and suddenly sang: "Where is Yang Yifei?"

When Yang Yifei heard the First Emperor call his name, he did not dare to neglect it. He quickly stepped forward, folded his fists and said, "The last one is here."

The First Emperor smiled and looked at Yang Yifei and said, "You have made the first contribution to this expedition and captured the Yuezhi King alone. You have made an indelible contribution, so you can drink together."

Yang Yifei said: "Thank you for your kindness, and I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty, and I will never refuse to die."

After "I devote my whole life to my life and die until I die", another wonderful saying of loyalty appeared in the world. Zhao Gao, who was beside him, heard the temples leaping. Fortunately, this guy was not a man in the palace, otherwise he would have basically nothing to do with him.

After hearing this, the First Emperor was very happy. After drinking the ceremony, he held Meng Yi and Yang Yifei in one hand and got on the carriage. The emperor and his ministers returned to the court together.

After working in the suburbs, we must "enjoy the merits of the ancestral temple and give up the titles and merits", that is, we will go to the Taimiao to promulgate the ancestors and perform the ceremony of offering victory and prisoners.

Showing victory means reporting the news of victory to the ancestors and thanking them for their blessings. Offering prisoners means offering various spoils, including prisoners. At this time, the prisoners will be killed as sacrifices. At the end of the life of King Yuezhi, that is, after arriving at the Taimiao.

After this process is completed, it will be the time for the king to feast for the heroes and reward meritorious officials. This is called "drinking".

As Meng Yi expected, Yang Yifei was promoted to three levels in a row, and was a young master. Originally, the First Emperor wanted to order Yang Yifei to lead the army alone, but he asked the First Emperor to take back his fate on the grounds that he only knew how to train troops and did not understand the way of marching and fighting.

Meng Yi took the opportunity to speak and asked the First Emperor to give Yang Yifei the title of the general under his tent. After asking Yang Yifei and he was willing to do so, the First Emperor readily approved the report.

The First Emperor highly praised Yang Yifei's behavior of knowing himself and not greedy for power, and therefore trusting him more.

Because if a person who is greedy for power and speaks sweetly, he will not reveal his shortcomings at all and voluntarily give up promotion.

Yang Yifei was afraid that the three armies would be affected by his lack of understanding of marching and fighting, which would lead to the defeat of the Qin Dynasty. This means that he was indeed sincerely loyal to the Qin Dynasty and was considering everything. What reason would the king have to distrust such a general?

Yang Yifei was promoted to three levels in a row, Meng Yi and Li Xin were promoted to two levels each, Meng Yi was promoted to the Grand Secretary, Li Xin was promoted to the Siche Chief, Nangong Yan and other generals of the military marquis and above, all of whom were promoted to the title one level, while others were rewarded according to their military merits.

Meng Yi was secretly happy that his brother Meng Tian was a Marquis of Guannei. Now, he is only one level lower than his brother. If he has the opportunity to make military achievements, he will be able to catch up with his brother, or even surpass his brother, and get to the position of Marquis of Che before him.

Meng Yi admired his brother very much since he was a child. He took him as an idol and role model and also as his goal to catch up. I believe that when he was promoted to Guannei Marquis, his brother would definitely be happy for him!

Yang Yifei and Nangong Yan were both promoted and not transferred yet. This reward was a joy.

...

After the drink was over, the generals returned to the camp, and there was still a celebration waiting for them. Although the banquet in Xianyang Palace was a great honor, with the presence of the First Emperor, they were still a little reluctant to let go. They should pay attention to the ceremony at any time. Going back to the camp to drink with their brothers is awesome.

The celebration of triumphal in the camp lasted for three days. After three days, everything returned to peace. Yang Yifei handed over the military power of the archer and cavalry unit, and a 2500-year-old leader under his command took over.

Since then, Yang Yifei has no longer had to lead troops. He only assisted Meng Yi in the central army tent every day to handle some military affairs. After studying Qin Zhuan for half a year, he can basically recognize it. After all, he just doesn't understand Qin Zhuan, and he is not completely uneducated from scratch.

Yang Yi Feijue was promoted to the young master, and the First Emperor gave him a house, and he was also a powerful Qin emperor with his own mansion.

However, he basically didn't go back to the mansion. He was alone, and Meng Yi was alone, so when he was resting, he basically went to Meng Yi's mansion to eat and drink.

Due to this expedition, the Meng family army lost more than 3,000 brothers, so these people naturally had to re-enter other troops.

So Meng Yi sent him a task to select elite soldiers from various armies and add them to the Meng family army.

This mission is also beneficial to Yang Yifei. He can take the opportunity to deal with generals of various army, become familiar with each other, and establish his own connections. Meng Yi took great pains to promote Yang Yifei.

Although Yang Yifei was grateful, he was not very enthusiastic about it. When he went to various places, he only greeted the generals who had a good relationship with Meng Yi. The other troops were doing their business.

To put it bluntly, the fact that the Meng family army selects elite troops is equivalent to poaching the enemy. Who is willing to give up the powerful soldiers and soldiers under his command?

So in fact, many people recommended by the troops are the kind of people who are very elite, but not the top ones. If they are generals with good relationship with Meng Yi, Yang Yifei would turn a blind eye.

Yang Yifei has his own set of talented soldiers and elite soldiers. He didn't even look at the list recommended by various troops. Whenever he arrived at a unit, he set up an assessment project and required all the staff to participate and choose the top group through the final results.

This method makes it impossible for the troops to hide their private interests. In addition to their deep feelings for the troops and those who are unwilling to leave, most of them still hope to join the Mongolian army.

Yang Yifei did not force those who were unwilling to leave. If he forced him to transfer him away, it might also lead to the other party being dissatisfied with the Meng family army and the gains would not be worth the loss.

Therefore, the people chosen by Yang Yifei would ask them whether they would voluntarily join the Meng family army. If they did not want to transfer from the original army, they would not force them.

It depends on the strength of the generals and opponents of each army. If you can retain your elite troops, that is your ability. If you can't keep you, you won't blame others.

It took more than half a year to complete the task of selecting elite troops and return to the camp. Just when he returned to the camp, Meng Yi's news made him feel refreshed.

There is a small country on the Liaodong Peninsula, named Jizi Korea, bordering the Liaodong County and Donghu County of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Because they were often invaded by the Donghu, in order to seek protection from the Qin Dynasty, the King of Korea wanted to give Jizi, Princess Yushu, the first beauty of Korea, to marry Daqin, and pay tribute to Daqin every year.

The First Emperor appointed Meng Yi as the imperial general and ordered him to lead the Meng family army to the border to welcome Princess Yushu.

The plot finally begins.
