Mythical Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Sui and Tang Dynasties, establishment of empire

Tian Zhan had no choice but to send Tian Rong to sue for peace, and Xun Xi summoned Tian Zhan.

When Tian Rong saw this young Han princess who personally commanded and defeated hundreds of thousands of Han troops and swallowed up three counties in Qingzhou, even a nobleman like him felt intimidated.

Unexpectedly, Xun Xi behaved appropriately and had no murderous intent, which made Tian Rong feel a little relieved. He also thought that the Han princess mentioned by his brother must be very cruel.

"Tian Zhan wants to cease the war, that's fine."

"really?"

Tian Rong thought it would be difficult to calm Xun Xi's anger. Tian Rong was deeply surprised that she stopped fighting so easily.

"However, he must provide 200,000 taels of silver and 100,000 shi of grain as pensions for the Han soldiers."

"Too much……"

"Tian Rong, our Han Dynasty has killed and injured tens of thousands of soldiers because of this war. Nine towns have been damaged to varying degrees, dozens of villages have been burned, and hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced. I want to resettle them. This compensation, Do you think it's too much? Or is Tian Zhan willing to compensate us for our losses only if he wants me to capture Tan County?"

"This is easy to say, easy to say..."

As a businessman, the Tian family had achieved the deed of leading the Qin Dynasty. Naturally, they knew that Xun Xi was talking loudly in order to have a bargaining chip. While the two parties were bargaining, news came that the Han army had defeated the Qin army at Mengjinguan.

Tian Rong had no choice but to spend money to eliminate the disaster. He knew that if the compensation was not paid in place, the Qi State would be liquidated by Liu Hua in the future. He finally asked Qi King Tian Zhan to compensate 150,000 taels of silver and 100,000 shi of grain, and the two sides temporarily stopped fighting.

Xun Xi knew that she did not have enough troops, so she tried to be as strong as possible. In fact, she was trying to cover up the weakness of the Han State. After all, the main force of the Han State would suffer heavy losses after defeating the Qin State.

Even if she wanted to go to war, the current potential for war has been exhausted.

After receiving the letter from Liu Hua, Xun Xi immediately summoned the civil servants Cao Shen, Lu Zhi, Xie An, Sang Hongyang and others, as well as the military generals Ban Chao, Cao Ren, Zhang He, Gongsun Zan, Zhang Huo and others to discuss the matter.

"The king defeated the Qin Yang Su army near Mengjin, which can be said to have achieved the success of setting the cauldron!" Xun Xi said happily.

"Yang Su's army has been defeated?!" Hearing this, Cao Shen was surprised, Lu Zhi was surprised, Ban Chao and Sang Hongyang were a little hopeful, but Zhang Hua, as a surrendered general, was a little confused. This news was a surprise to everyone present. For anyone, it's quite a storm.

Obviously, in the eyes of everyone, even Zhang Hua himself, Liu Hua's defeat of Huangfu Song was truly extraordinary.

But the meaning of defeating Yang Su at this moment is completely different, because Yang Su has the most elite army in the entire Qin Dynasty.

Now that this army has been dealt with, it is almost the last straw that breaks the camel's back for Da Qin's current situation.

Xun Xi said: "Your Majesty decided to take this opportunity to cross the Yellow River directly, take Luoyang, go straight to Hangu, and capture Xianyang. So let us send all the reserve soldiers there when we transport food and grass in the next wave. At the same time, Cao Shen and Xie An You two are responsible for traveling with the army, and I also need to recalculate the roads for transporting grain and grass."

"How many people are needed?" Cao Shen asked directly after hearing Xun Xi's words.

"Fifty thousand soldiers of each legion are stationed in the fields. Each legion needs reinforcements ranging from one thousand to three thousand men."

Xun Xi looked at the information he received. Almost all legions had suffered heavy losses and almost all needed to be replenished.

When Cao Shen heard this astonishing number, he couldn't help but be silent for a while. He could imagine what a thrilling war it would be to force the Han army to this point.

Cao Shen said: "There are almost 100,000 people. How many people haven't been rescued by the medical camp?"

"Half of them have been rescued, but the other half will be disabled even if they survive, and I'm afraid they won't be able to go to the battlefield!" The prisoners were sent back, about 100,000 of them."

When he heard about the prisoners of the Qin Army, Cao Shen was involuntarily shocked. Thinking of what the prisoners of the Qin Army had gone through, he nodded and said, "I will make arrangements. After I leave, who will manage the camp?"

"The king asked us to recommend ourselves, who do you think is more suitable?" Xun Xi heard Cao Shen's words and asked Cao Shen instead.

"Lu Zhi is honest and fair, and can be trusted. Lieutenants Luo Yi and Xia Houying worked with me to set up a reserve force to master affairs. Luo Yi and Xia Houying will assist Lu Zhi to ensure the normal operation of the camp."

"As you said, let Lu Zhi temporarily command the reserves." Xun Xi nodded. She knew the importance of the Tuntian camp to the Han army and believed in Lu Zhi's ability as one of the three heroes of the late Han Dynasty.

"promise!"

Lu Zhi agreed.

"That being the case, then I'll make preparations and head north with the next batch of food and grass!" Cao Shen said decisively.

Cao and Ban Chao led the field battalion to escort the grain and grass north to Xingyang. Xun Xi naturally continued to do rear work in Julu.

……

At this time, Liu Hua met Zhang Han alone. Zhang Han could be the highest-ranking general in the Qin army after surrendering to Liu Hua, not to mention that he also had a team of three talented Lishan dead soldiers. Liu Hua naturally valued Zhang Han very much.

"Let me lead the Qin army prisoners back to Jizhou?" Zhang Han was a little surprised when he heard Liu Hua's words.

"You are responsible for the management of military camps and reserves in the Qin State. It is the most normal thing for you to manage these prisoners of the Qin Army." Liu Huazai said, "What doubts do you have?"

"But..." After hearing Liu Hua's words, Zhang Han looked a little hesitant, as if he didn't know what to say.

Liu Hua looked at Zhang Han and knew clearly that Zhang Han wanted to avoid suspicion.

Such a group of prisoners of the Qin army are essentially the elite of the Qin army.

And if such elites come into the hands of Zhang Han, after being trained in prisoner camps and reserve forces, Zhang Han will at least have the capital to fight back.

After all, Zhang Han himself is a commander capable of large-scale command, and with enough soldiers, he can threaten anyone!

This has nothing to do with the so-called trust or distrust, but Zhang Han himself does have such practical abilities.

"I will ask Kong Ming to follow you. I guess you also know that I am planning to attack Hangu Pass!" Liu Hua looked at Zhang Han and said frankly.

Hearing Liu Hua's words, Zhang Han lowered his head. To be honest, he didn't want to face this topic.

Even if logically speaking, the most important thing he should do now is to express his loyalty to Liu Hua, and then take the initiative to apply to attack Hangu Pass and kill more Qin troops to clear the relationship, but he really can't do it.

Liu Huadao said, "If I can't capture Hangu Pass, then of course everything will stop. But if I capture Hangu Pass and enter Xianyang, then you will become a very important part of the plan, or at least become a good relationship between me and the people of Daqin." Bridge. Of course, all the prisoners of the Qin army will be able to go home by then!"

"Go home..." After hearing Liu Hua's words, Zhang Han couldn't help but regain some of his expression.

Liu Huadao: "My letter to Kong Ming is a bit concise. When you go back this time, tell Kong Ming our conversation by the way. As long as I capture Hangu Pass, let him be ready and wait for my notification to move in at any time." Within the pass. And by then, you people, whether you are from Qin or Chu, will eventually become my subordinates, so you can just go home!"

Hearing this, Zhang Han's eyes naturally brightened and he said, "I will definitely inform Mr. Kong Ming."

"If there is no problem, then you can go and have a look!" Liu Hua said, "If you know any of the middle-level generals, you can also bring them into the prisoner camp. After all, I will take the high-level generals to Hangu Pass and I may kill a few. Someone here to worship the flag!"

After Liu Hua appeased Zhang Han, he gave him full authority to handle the matter of Qin's prisoners.
