Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 453

"Come, General Peng, Yu Ziqi toasts you." Yu Ziqi raised his glass.

Peng Yue picked up his wine glass and said, "Thank you, General Yu." The two touched each other and drank it down in one gulp.

Yu Ziqi joined the two men, and said: "If it wasn't for General Peng's ingenious schemes that prevented the Xiqiang barbarians from succeeding, otherwise, it would not be easy to defend these things with my own strength."

Peng Yue was very grateful and said: "If the general hadn't promoted Peng Yue among the soldiers, no matter how capable Peng Yue was, he would be useless. To be honest, Peng Yue is very grateful to the general. Come on, general, Peng Yue will toast the general."

This Peng Yue was called together with Han Xin in history, and he was also the Peng Yue who died in the hands of Empress Lu.When Peng Yue saw the political chaos in the Qin Dynasty, he would rather be a robber and do business with no capital than join the army.When history repeats, everything has changed. He joined the army a long time ago and followed Han Xin in his expedition to the west. He was just an ordinary soldier and remained unknown until he followed Yu Ziqi to guard the property. It was discovered that extraordinary military talents had just been displayed.

Yu Ziqi didn't hold the glass, and said, "I accept General Peng's kindness, but I dare not accept this glass of wine from you. Even if I, Yu Ziqi, don't find out about an outstanding person like you, others will You will also find out that it's just your bad luck that Mr. Zhou didn't see it, otherwise you would have been promoted long ago."

This is true, Peng Yue is a very good military strategist, Zhou Chong has been looking for him, but he has joined the army, Zhou Chong looking for him is like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is not easy.

Peng Yue said with emotion: "Peng Yue admires the general's mind, and invited the general to drink this glass of wine."

Yu Ziqi picked up the wine glass and said: "General Peng toasted me with a grateful heart. Logically speaking, I should drink this glass of wine, but I can't drink this glass of wine because I only do what I should do. .A general, if he knows that his subordinates are talented and very extraordinary, but he doesn't use it, then such a general is really hard to say. This skill is there, but it's not my Yu Ziqi's, it's your own , if you were not so talented, I, Yu Ziqi, would not be able to help you if I wanted to. So, I propose this glass of wine to congratulate you on showing your extraordinary talents and serving the people of the world and Daqin."

Peng Yue's eyes were filled with tears, and he said: "Since this is the case, Peng Yue dare not obey the general's arrangement."

Yu Ziqi nodded happily and said, "That's right, come on, do it!" The two drank each other.

Putting down his wine glass, Yu Ziqi said, "General Peng, don't worry, I will definitely report your achievements to General Han."

Peng Yue shook his head and said, "I, Peng Yue, am not doing meritorious service, but just want to contribute to Daqin."

Yu Ziqi smiled and said: "General Peng's mind is really admirable, but it is very difficult to be promoted in the Great Qin Dynasty without meritorious service. No matter how talented a general is, it is difficult to display it. Therefore, this merit is still necessary."

"In that case, Peng Yue will obey the general's arrangement." Peng Yue thanked.

Yu Ziqi filled the two again and said, "General Han sent me here to guard so much property. I didn't take it seriously at first, but it didn't take long before I realized that the problem was very serious. Xiqiang heard that we have a lot of property here, and they are all willing to get it. There are more and more people every day. If General Peng did not plan to retreat the enemy, this place would have been unable to hold. I After guarding for so long, I have been wondering what General Han's intention is, but I still can't figure it out, I wonder if General Peng can understand?"

Peng Yue didn't say anything, but gave a thumbs up, and praised: "General Han's move is very clever. If this move is successful, the entire Western Qiang will surrender."

Yu Ziqi lifted his spirits and said: "The Japanese and Korean generals also said the same thing, but I can't figure it out. Please ask General Peng to say it clearly."

Peng Yue said with a smile: "General Han's move can be said to be far-sighted, in order to completely solve the problem of Xiqiang. The barbarians of Xiqiang are greedy. When they hear that there are a lot of treasures here, can they not be moved? They must be moved. As long as this As soon as the heart moves, no matter how far or near, wherever the news goes, they all come here, and they all want to get a share, and it is best to swallow it alone."

Yu Ziqi said with emotion: "These Western Qiang barbarians are really greedy enough. They not only fight with us, but also fight with each other. It's really unreasonable."

Peng Yue expressed a different view, saying: "Actually, it's not their fault, it has to be like this. Chinese things are inherently exquisite, far beyond what they can imagine, so all Chinese things Qiang Man would like to have. Furthermore, here The land is barren and the people are poor, and life is difficult, and with such good things, they have no choice but to do it.”

Yu Ziqi nodded and said: "Yes, I have heard that Xiqiang is very poor, but I didn't expect it to be so poor. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that the barbarians of Xiqiang would still be dead if they were killed. Tattoos, some families have not worn clothes for generations, men and women, old and young are naked, they are also pitiful."

Peng Yue nodded and said: "If Daqin came to manage this place, their life might not be as good as in Central Plains, but it will be much better. At least they will have clothes and food to eat."

"This is not only an opportunity to expand the borders of the Great Qin, but also a good deed for the Qiang barbarians. It is really a great merit." Yu Ziqi commented.

Peng Yue explained Han Xin's intentions, and said: "General Han just saw through the greediness of the Qiang barbarians, so he put a lot of property here and let the rumors out, so that all the barbarians of the Western Qiang know that there are a lot of property here. It’s impossible if they don’t come here. General Han’s intention is to gather them together and annihilate them all in one fell swoop.”

Yu Ziqi rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, and said: "Tall, tall, really tall! The barbarians of the Western Qiang are definitely not the opponents of the Great Qin. They will definitely lose when they encounter the Great Qin army on the battlefield. However, the barbarians of the Western Qiang They are scattered all over the place, living in the deep mountains. It would take too long to wipe them out one by one, and the casualties are not small. Once they are lured here, it will be different. No wonder the Japanese and Korean generals said that they can only give me [-] troops. It will not achieve the effect.

"If there are too many troops, the Qiang barbarians will definitely be afraid and dare not come to grab them. General Han's move is indeed very high, too clever, too clever!"

Peng Yue nodded and said: "It's just that there are more and more Qiang barbarians. Although they have poor equipment, insufficient food, no organization and no training, but too many ants can crush elephants to death, and too many Qiang barbarians will drag us down. Our pressure It’s getting bigger and bigger every day.”

Yu Ziqi agreed very much: "Yes. I also feel that this is a lot of pressure. I feel as if I am sitting on the tip of a knife. I don't know when General Han will rush to help us."

Peng Yue comforted: "Don't worry, General, we just need to hold on. We have enough food, and there will be no problem if we hold on for a year or so."

He has already become the soul of the place, he has said so, naturally there will be no major problems, Yu Ziqi nodded firmly, and said: "No matter how difficult it is, we must hold on."
