"This thing is called a cigarette, and it's a recreational thing. How about one?"

With a cigarette in his mouth, Zhao Che reached out and took out one from the cigarette case and handed it to Li Xin.

"cigarette?"

Li Xin picked it up curiously, followed Zhao Che's example, took the match and lit the cigarette, and took a sharp puff.

"Pfft! Cough-cough-cough!"

People who smoked for the first time couldn't stand the feeling of cigarettes choking their throats, let alone Li Xin took such a big puff that his choked lungs almost coughed out in an instant.

"Hahaha, what are you doing so hard, stop smoking, this thing is not a good thing."

Zhao Che laughed, patted Li Xin on the back and said.

"My lord, the subject is fine, maybe it's the first time I'm not familiar with it, I'll take it slow this time."

Li Xin shook his head, coughing until tears came out, but this novel experience made him feel very interesting.

After a while, Li Xin gritted his teeth, took a light breath, and imitated Zhao Che's way to inhale into his lungs and then spit it out.

"Hiss! Cool!"

Li Xin laughed out loud, and finally understood why Zhao Che looked so comfortable just now.

In fact, Li Xin didn't have any other hobbies. Apart from fighting, he just drank alcohol.

When I was in Longxi County these years, I didn't even have the chance to fight, and I drank heavily all day long.

But when he was smoking just now, the experience and feeling he gave him seemed to be no worse than drinking.

"What are you and Lord Hou doing? Why is there white smoke coming out of your mouth?"

At this time, the soldiers on the side also found the two who were puffing, so they looked at them very curiously.

"Brothers, come to Hanako to decompress?"

Zhao Che threw away the cigarette butts he had smoked, took out a few more cigarettes and threw them on the ground, saying something to the soldiers behind him.

"Huazi? Decompression?"

Hearing Zhao Che's words, many people suddenly became curious, so they took apart the few flowers, each of them took one and put it in their mouths.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Che suddenly felt very funny, and wanted to take a photo with his mobile phone and send it to Moments.

Thank you for the invitation, I am on the battlefield, I just destroyed the Huns, and I took a photo with my brothers!

……

Soon, his subordinates divided up the little Huazi stock that Zhao Che took out, and basically everyone had one.

Everyone imitated Zhao Che and Li Xin, and after lighting it, they sat cross-legged and tasted the taste of the cigarette with reminiscence on their faces.

"Comfortable!"

"I don't know why, when I exhale the smoke, I feel that I have exhaled all the pressure and emotions in my heart."

"Comfort, I feel the exhaustion all over my body is swept away, help me up, I can continue to fight!"

……

The entire battlefield was shrouded in a burst of white smoke, and people who didn't know thought it was on fire.

But with so many people present, the cigarettes in Zhao Che's hand were distributed to everyone, and it was almost enough to have one.

The time for a cigarette passed quickly, Zhao Che stamped out the cigarette butt and patted his buttocks and stood up.

This cigarette also revitalized the soldiers who were already very tired. Without Zhao Che's command, they took the initiative to clean up the battlefield.

"My son, the battlefield has been cleaned up. This time, more than [-] enemies were wiped out, and no one was left alive. However, the supplies, cattle and sheep brought out by the Xiongnu Shanyu, except for a part of them who ran away in the chaos, the rest are all dead." perfect!"

"What about our casualties?"

After listening to Li Xin's report, Zhao Che didn't pay attention to the harvest this time. Instead, he asked about his own situation first, which moved the soldiers beside him slightly.

As the son of Great Qin, Zhao Che always takes the lead and treats his soldiers very seriously.

How can such a general not be loved by the soldiers below?

Li Xin also nodded slightly, and then reported the number of his own casualties in a somewhat heavy tone.

"More than 300 people were killed or injured in our army, [-] people were seriously injured, and all the rest were basically slightly injured."

Although the Qin army had the absolute upper hand from the very beginning, after all, they rushed here day and night, and launched a blitz against Maodun in a hasty manner, which naturally consumed a lot of energy.

Therefore, in order to completely eliminate these Huns, the Qin army naturally paid some price.

But this price, compared to their results, is already very small.

"Collect the corpses of all the dead soldiers well, and transfer the injured brothers back for treatment first. The pensions must be paid in place, and these martyrs will be buried after returning to Daqin."

Zhao Che gave orders casually.

People die in war, and Zhao Che has long accepted this result, but more than 2 lives of compatriots are still a heavy number.

"My lord is benevolent and righteous, my servants will make arrangements now!"

Li Xin nodded, and then went down to give Zhao Che's orders.

It is very difficult to collect the corpses of the dead soldiers. After all, so many people were killed and injured on the battlefield, and the corpses of many Qin soldiers were mixed with the corpses of the Huns.

It is obviously not something that can be done in a day or two to distinguish one by one and bring them back.

Therefore, Li Xin intends to take the injured soldiers back for treatment first, after all, as long as they are alive, there is still hope of recovery.

Zhao Che also returned temporarily with the army, and came to clean up the battlefield after he settled down.

……

On the other two battlefields, Meng Tian and Han Xin led an army of 20 each, and fought against the last main force of Donghu and the Huns.

The final result was naturally without any suspense, and both sides achieved an overwhelming victory.

At this point, the two overlords of the northern grasslands, the Donghu and the Xiongnu, were declared destroyed.

As for the remaining small tribes, Meng Tian also sent several teams to sweep them away.

The royal court had already been destroyed, and these small tribes naturally could no longer have the power to resist. In the end, those who ran faster directly crossed the Hexi Corridor and went to the outside of the Great Wall, while those who ran slower, either perished or surrendered.

……

In a blink of an eye, two months passed.

The battlefield situation in the northern grassland has been completely calmed down, and the remaining finishing work can be left to the defenders to settle down.

Zhao Che, Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin, Wang Li and other generals finally took the bones and trophies of the martyrs in this war and embarked on the journey back to the dynasty.

The news of Zhao Che and his team's victory over Donghu and the Huns had already been sent back to Xianyang.

In Xianyang Palace at this time, Ying Zheng was holding this urgent information with trembling hands.

In the main hall, Wang Jian, who was seriously ill, also dragged his exhausted body to attend the court meeting.

"Dear dear friends, good news came from the border. The combat operations deployed by my son Zhao Che have achieved unexpected results. The Donghu royal court was destroyed, and the Donghu king was beheaded by my son. The Donghu captured more than 15 people. On the way back to Xianyang under escort."

"After destroying the Donghu King's Court, Che'er joined forces with Li Xin, Marquis of Longxi, and rushed to the Xiongnu King's Court, and finally stopped the Xiongnu Shanyu's way in the Hexi Corridor. Get off now."

"Meng Tian and Han Xin each led an army to completely kill the main force of the Xiongnu and Donghu on the grassland. The Donghu Huns have been completely wiped out so far. There will be no more worries about foreigners in the northern grasslands!"
