Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 412 Young Master Xie is in action!

King Donghu is dead!

But the war is not over yet!

At present, Donghu has no leader and six gods. The Qin soldiers and the Xiongnu joined forces and began to sweep away the Donghu tribe.

Donghu was unable to resist, and because King Donghu was dead, the new leader was forced to be pushed out.

However, in this case, Donghu obviously lacked a commander with enough leadership to regroup.

Even in a dangerous situation, human beings' struggle for rights will not stop, and the differences between people will not dissolve.

This is true for Nanming, and it is also true for Donghu.

So the remaining tribes of Donghu who had no time to react split into two groups.

Part of the Donghu retreated to Wuhuan Mountain (near today's Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia), and part of the Donghu retreated to Xianbeishan (near today's Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province).

Wu Heng and Xianbei were able to survive because they ran far away, so they were under the control of the Xiongnu and controlled by the Xiongnu's right and left virtuous kings.

After the rise of the Han Dynasty in history and the complete counterattack against the Xiongnu, Wu Heng and Xianbei played an extremely key role in it, adding a few more pieces of ground to the destruction of the Xiongnu.

Afterwards, the Huns gradually became decadent and even were destroyed by the Han Dynasty. The survival pressure of Wuheng and Xianbei was relieved. Therefore, they continued to grow and expand in the process, and their scope of activities gradually moved south. From then on, they became a new border danger for the Han Empire.

As for now, they are just a bunch of lost dogs.

After the death of King Donghu, the entire Donghu completely collapsed without even organizing a decent counterattack. People's hearts were separated, and the struggle for power was not forgotten on the way to escape.

As a result, the allied forces of the Xiongnu and Qin Dynasty killed many people on the land of Donghu and made a lot of money.

What followed was mainly a pursuit battle, and there were not many casualties.

At the same time, as an ally of Donghu, the Yuezhi not only failed to help Donghu re-establish order, but took advantage of Donghu's attack to quietly engulf a large area of ​​fertile pasture in Donghu and accepted many of Donghu's fleeing tribes.

And on the other side...

When Han Xin defeated King Donghu and swept away the court of Donghu, Da Qin's messengers did not feel sad at all for Donghu's destruction. They sent the victory report to Longxi County non-stop, passed through Longxi, and went straight to the pass day and night. go.

"Great victory in Longxi! Great victory in Longxi!"

The victory report was first placed on the desk of the First Emperor, and the victory official went around the city to convey the victory of Longxi!

"The Eastern Hu made peace with Yueshi and wanted to send troops to attack Qin. The general sent Han Xin to lead an army of 10,000 to form an alliance with the Xiongnu!

Therefore, he refutes everyone's opinions, uses attack instead of defense, uses advance instead of retreat, rushes thousands of miles, and surprises the King of Donghu!

The vanguard Xiang Ji's formation killed King Donghu, and the court of Donghu was completely defeated..."

The victory report, under the promotion of the victory officer, spread throughout Xianyang City in less than half a day.

"I won..."

At noon, Zhao Si was summoned to the palace, accompanied by Li Si, the right minister of the Qin Dynasty.

Zhao Si looked at the slightly excited eyes of the First Emperor and Li Si and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

Recently, Zhao Si abused his private power and gave away a lot of modern equipment to Yu Ji. Not only was it used by Yu Ji, the maids in the mansion almost completely changed their clothes.

The antique style paired with stockings is an eye-catcher.

As a result, Zhao Si couldn't help but feel sleepy even if he was a dragon, a tiger, a fierce tiger, and surrounded by a halo of raw jade, and would often fall asleep until the sun was up.

It can be seen from this that the gold content of Huangdi's Royal Daughters has soared in the daytime. It is obvious that Zhao Si cannot touch porcelain with a halo of raw jade.

"Aren't you surprised?"

After hearing the news of the victory, it was still such a great victory, and the First Emperor's mood obviously improved a lot.

The tightness of troops in Longxi was obvious. After all, Donghu Yuezhi was an enemy who could directly pull out hundreds of thousands of troops and had obvious unified command.

Therefore, the first emperor's request to Meng Tian from the beginning was to try his best to preserve the Xiongnu. If he could not be preserved, he must also maintain the stability of the border counties and prevent the Huns from crossing the Great Wall.

After all, in addition to external troubles, Meng Tian also has to deal with internal worries.

The land of Yanzhao is also the front line against foreigners. Therefore, many local nobles in the land of Yanzhao have more or less dealt with the Hu people. If they are not careful, they may lead the Hu people to enter the pass and go south.

The best expected goal in the heart of the First Emperor was that Meng Tian could protect the Xiongnu from being annexed and divided by the Donghu and Yuezhi because the Qin Dynasty had to deal with internal problems.

However, as the most nervous place and the student that the teacher is most worried about, Longxi was the first to hand in the paper.

Moreover, the results are already outstanding.

Ten thousand troops and horses!

Da Qin only sent ten thousand troops.

You told me to use 10,000 soldiers and horses to knock out the most powerful country on the grassland, which has a population of more than one million and more than 200,000 people who control the strings.

King Donghu was killed in battle, and his head was sent back. In addition, many Donghu nobles were also packed together. However, the delivery speed of living people is definitely not as fast as the delivery speed of human heads. Obviously We still have to spend a few days on the road.

No, 10,000 is worth more than 200,000!

Not to mention that Donghu has signed an alliance with the Yuezhi. The two have a combined population of two million and a military strength of nearly 400,000.

Da Qin sent 10,000 troops and horses, consuming negligible food, grass and logistics, and directly destroyed half of them for the opponent?

Of course, the First Emperor had no reason to be unhappy. This had greatly exceeded his expectations.

Only those who know how to fight know the value of this battle.

And Li Si, the same is true.

As the actual executor of the order to move the royal tomb, Li Si was under great pressure.

The world can change in an instant. Even if he has full confidence, the pressure in Li Si's heart will not lessen before the outcome is determined.

The Longxi victory was like a shot in the arm, allowing Li Si to finally release his long-suppressed emotions.

At this time, Zhao Si's nonchalance and even sleepiness seemed a bit out of place.

"What's so surprising about this? That's Han Xin! Not to mention that he has Xiang Yu under his command!" Zhao Si nodded matter-of-factly.

"You are quite calm..." Li Si couldn't help but smile when he heard this, thinking that Zhao Si was teasing Menzi.

He knew the character of this boy Zhao Si. When the First Emperor kept him in the dark and thought he was going to carry out the order to move the royal mausoleum, this boy looked like he was on the verge of death.

Han Xin was this boy's retainer, and he didn't believe that Zhao Si didn't care about the situation in Longxi.

I'm afraid, this kid got accurate information and had a good sleep.

The turmoil of the empire is about to begin, and everyone is unclean. Everyone knows that this will be a turmoil that determines the fate of the Qin Dynasty.

"As I said, I am good at looking at people. How can I not know the ingredients of the diners I personally select?

If he is an official, it may not be easy for Han Xin to say, but when it comes to leading troops in battle, even if it is General Wang, I feel that Han Xin can make more concessions. By the way, where is the Longxi battle report? Let me be healthy..." Zhao Si said and looked at the First Emperor.

The victory officer only reported the victory, but the specific process was presented to the First Emperor alone.

If Zhao Si said he hadn't paid attention to Longxi, he really hadn't paid attention to it, but now that Han Xin had gained a lot, it really made Zhao Si curious about the course of this battle. If nothing else happens, this may become a war worthy of being recorded in history.

Hmm... Maybe, as history has begun to change, Da Qin has gradually shown a attitude of crushing the world, maybe the gold content of Han Xin's military exploits will be reduced in history.

Upon hearing this, the First Emperor pushed the battle report, which was a finger thick, to Zhao Si, who took the battle report and opened it.

Li Si looked at Zhao Si strangely when he heard this.

"You really haven't sent anyone to learn about the Longxi battle report?"

"Why send someone to find out what's going on? I can't interfere. Instead, I'm putting pressure on others out of thin air."

Zhao Si was reading while talking and just shook his head after reading it.

"The Soldier Immortal is the Soldier Immortal..."

It was no accident for Zhao Si to wipe out Donghu. After all, there was no Han Xin in history who could have done it by himself.

What surprised Zhao Si was Han Xin's response to the next situation and his various arrangements on the grassland in advance.

Han Xin wrote his next battle plan, which was to plow the court and sweep the caves, join forces to attack the Yueshi, prevent the Yueshi from getting bigger, conduct a certain range of land exchange with the Xiongnu, and gather the population of the Yueshi in Donghu.

According to Han Xin's report, by the end of the war against Donghu, he expected to gain a population of 200,000, of course, including the old, weak, sick and disabled.

Han Xin emphasized this point and asked the First Emperor's opinion in the letter.

If the First Emperor is willing to let them enrich the grassland, then keep them. If the First Emperor is not willing, then he will trap and kill them all after the war.

It's definitely not possible now. Now he still has to keep these people as his servant army. After all, Da Qin's headquarters has only 10,000 troops, and the Xiongnu's 60,000 troops are on the flanks. As the advance gradually deepens, Da Qin's logistics are no longer sustainable. , was forced to interrupt, Han Xin must carry out deeper cooperation with the Huns, and the premise of deeper cooperation is trust, and the premise of trust is that both parties have equal strength.

"What do you think?" The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si.

"Keep it..." Zhao Si spread his hands.

"If the barbarians and the Di come from China, then the Chinese will be affected; if the Chinese people will be with the barbarians and the Di, then the barbarians will be with them. Although Confucianism is full of demonic theories, this is the only thing Confucius said that is right." Li Si added next to him.

Whether the nomads go south or not ultimately depends on the stability and instability of their living environment.

During the Han and Tang Dynasties, they were able to maintain stability in the northern border during the period of prosperity, and were extremely successful in converting the barbarians who had submitted to the Han Dynasty to the Han Dynasty. The Southern Xiongnu who submitted to the Han Dynasty could be said to have dedicated their lives to the Han Dynasty.

As for the reason why it was difficult to achieve the successful sinicization in the Han and Tang Dynasties during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was ultimately caused by a series of factors such as the difficulty of shifting the economic center of gravity, the fertile soil in Guanzhong and the decline in grain production in Hebei.

Even within the Central Plains, there are still people who can't survive and rebel, let alone the barbarians?

Feed them first, and then Chineseize them. The key is still to feed them.

Who wants to live with herds when they can cultivate the land for a living?

In short, the current Great Qin can definitely support a population of 200,000.

Not to mention that Zhao Si is already asking the craftsmanship bureau to develop wool spinning technology, and various high-yielding crops can also maintain the food expenditure on the grassland.

The future grassland pasture is also an extremely important part of Zhao Si's plan.

"You can send a message to Han Xin and let him deal with matters outside the border." The First Emperor opened his mouth and made a conclusion.

Although the reward had not yet been issued, as soon as the First Emperor's words came out, Han Xin's status had already risen to the same level as Meng Tian.

Now Han Xin no longer has to obey Meng Tian's orders and has absolute autonomy in all matters outside the customs.

In short, Han Xin can do whatever he wants before the army returns to the pass.

By the time Han Xin's class teacher returns to the DPRK, it has become an established fact that he will reach the top level of Da Qin.

"Donghu's hasty defeat is probably beyond everyone's expectations, and now everything is at stake. Next, even if the attack is unfavorable, I'm afraid they will have to deal with it to prevent Da Qin from breathing. Machine..." Li Si began to analyze the situation.

Everything went exactly as expected.

King Donghu's hasty death exceeded everyone's expectations.

No one expected that Qin would choose to take the initiative amid such internal and external troubles.

Punch away!

Therefore, the slightly impetuous people in the pass can be calmed down, while those in the world who want to take advantage of the opportunity have lingering fears.

However, in any case, driven by interests, they were completely opposed to Qin. They had to make the final choice, whether to move to the pass and let Qin slaughter them, or choose to rise up and fight... …

The place where Zhao’s clan worships...

In the hall, Zhao Xie, the current patriarch of the Zhao clan, read the report with a gloomy look and then handed it to the two people on his left and right.

"I never expected that King Donghu would be so stupid... Now that King Donghu is dead, it will be difficult for Donghu to achieve great things. Without Donghu, the Yuezhi will probably not go south again... Now there is evil in the place. Bingtai is staring at the government with eager eyes, and the soldiers from all over the country and the army of Qin can also watch the country with peace of mind. What should we do in this situation?" the young master said after a while.

"Brother hasn't started to stir up trouble yet. If you ask me, as long as you stay at the ancestral hall, King Qin will not go to war and kill all the descendants of the clan."

Before the two people on the left and right beside Zhao Xie spoke, a faint voice came from outside the door.

"Zhao Ying, there is no place for you to talk here, get out!"

The young master stopped patting the case, looked at the doorman guarding the door and spoke angrily.

"Take her back. She is not allowed to go out again without my order!"

Having said that, Young Master Xie looked at the two men on his left and right with an apologetic look on his face and said, "I didn't discipline my roommate well enough, which made the two gentlemen laugh. I am not very knowledgeable and I don't know how to deal with the current situation. I would like to ask you what advice you can give me." I?"

Chen Yu pondered for a long time and said, "I heard that Li Mu's grandson Li Zuoche lives in Daijun. He has always been loved by the Donghu people and is quite prestigious in Daijun.

Now that King Donghu is dead and Donghu are fleeing in all directions, if we can get the help of Li Zuoche and serve as the assistant son of Zhao Guo's clan, the Daijun can decide on it. At that time, we can absorb the Donghu tribe who fled south and form an army. Let Li Zuoche, who has a high reputation, take command, so that the young master can have useful troops and horses in a short time, so that he can wait and see the situation in the world and wait for opportunities. "

After Chen Yu spoke, Zhang Er, who was beside him, was not to be outdone. He smiled and said, "I heard that the Heibingtai left in Zhaodi is under the command and management of a man named Liu Bang in Peixian County.

When I was young, I served as Lord Xinling's retainer. I fled to Waihuang because of murder and served as the order of Waihuang. Liu Bang once followed me because he admired my reputation. You can send me to persuade Liu Bang to be used by us. Even if you can't be used by us, As long as Liu Bang is killed, the Black Ice Platform in Zhao will be leaderless. When the young master rises up, there will no longer be too many scruples. The nobles who were originally afraid of the Black Ice Platform will inevitably secretly attach themselves to the young master and help him rise. In this way, with the support of money and food, the young master can pull out a sufficient number of troops and horses in a short time. "

Zhao Xie heard the sound and looked towards the two of them, with hope shining in his eyes.

"The two gentlemen are so talented that they are indeed worthy of being friends with each other. They are even equal in talent. This is why God showed mercy to my Zhao family and allowed these two gentlemen to come to my side..."

Obviously, Gongzi Xie's dream of rejuvenating the country has not been extinguished.

He's not stupid, he's even a little smart.

It was precisely because of this that he could believe Zhang Liang's words.

Yes, no matter what, now may be his last chance, no matter how slim the chance is.
