Zhang Yanxi has no choice. This can be sold on her own product. The price is only in gold, so she can only sell one or two gold.

This trip to the supermarket once again opened the eyes of the ancients. Before the broadcast, Zhang Yanxi asked His Majesty the First Emperor what he wanted to know about the Qin Dynasty. His Majesty replied, General, and she nodded slightly, understanding.

On the second day of the light rain, Zhang Yanxi got up early as usual, and she is in a very good mood today. She likes rainy days, and she likes it even more if there is a cool breeze.

The live broadcast started, and it kicked off again today, a week later.

"Today I will tell you about the ranking of the generals of the Great Qin Dynasty. Speaking of the Qin Dynasty, during the 500 years of Qin Shihuang's campaign, there were many generals of the Great Qin Dynasty. There are more than 50 mentioned in the recorded history books. , there are too many people, I can only tell you the top four in two times, and I will talk about other things later, but when I finish the next topic, I can also start from the first place in the reward list. Ask questions, ask questions don’t count.”

"Today I will tell you about the third and fourth generals."

"Speaking of this third general, I once mentioned this person when I was explaining Hu Hai. During the reign of Qin II, he did not end up well. He is the third general I want to talk about this time. Four——Meng Tian."

"Meng Tian, ​​surnamed Ji, Meng family, surnamed Tian, ​​native of Qi State, a famous general of the Qin Dynasty. Meng Tian was born in a family of famous generals for generations. His grandfather Meng Ao and father Meng Wu were both famous generals of the Qin State. They were deeply influenced by the family environment. He had great ambitions from an early age.”

"In 221 BC, Meng Tian was named a general and attacked Qi. He was worshiped as an internal history because of his meritorious service in breaking Qi. He was often a conspiracy, and was known as "loyal and trustworthy" at that time. Other generals did not dare to compete with them. After Qin unified the six countries, Meng Tian led an army of 30 to attack the Huns in the north. Recovered Henan, built Lintao in the west from Longxi in the west, and reached the east in the east. The Great Wall of Liaodong has conquered northern Xinjiang for more than ten years, and it has shocked the Xiongnu."

"In 221 BC, Qin Shihuang completed the great feat of unifying the six countries. When Qin Shihuang eliminated other countries, Meng Tian, ​​who was Qin Shihuang's right-hand man, was not present. When Qin Shihuang was attacking the six countries, what was Meng Tian doing? Meng Tian as Qin Shihuang Naturally, the powerful generals will appear on the battlefield, and Meng Tian's enemy is not the Six Kingdoms, but the Xiongnu!"

"Since ancient times, the nomadic peoples on the Mongolian plateau have been very powerful, and they are also one of the problems in the history of the flower-growing country. There are very mighty and sturdy Huns sitting on every horse. Their existence makes the people who unified the Central Plains The monarchs felt a slight threat, and the big man should empathize with it, and it was difficult to fight back. For such a sturdy Huns, Meng Tian beat the opponent "not daring to go south and graze horses."

"It cannot be said that the Han Dynasty is not good, because the national strength of Qin and Han at that time could not be compared. In addition, the army led by Meng Tian at that time was far better than that of the early Han Dynasty. It can be said that all the people in the Qin Dynasty were soldiers, while the Han Dynasty had not yet received the baptism of war. Ease cannot fight the Xiongnu. It can be said that the strength of the Qin and Han Dynasties was relative to the Xiongnu. As we all know, war is ultimately a contest of national power between the two countries. The so-called "the army does not move, the food and grass go first" is the truth."

"Secondly, at that time, the cavalry had no stirrups, and their impact was limited, so they had no advantage over bows and crossbows. Moreover, the Huns did not have iron arrows at that time, and the bone and bronze arrows were not enough lethal. After the Huns mastered the metallurgical technology, they gave Liu Bang a white wolf. The siege of the mountains. When the stirrup was invented in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the nomads were unstoppable, but we are mainly talking about the Mengtian battle. The dynasties developed differently, and there is no comparison between the two.”

Liu Bang: ...

"In 215 BC, Qin Shihuang, with Meng Tian as his commander, commanded 30 Qin troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north. On the bank of the Yellow River, the Qin army, mainly infantry, and the Hun cavalry launched a life-and-death battle."

"It shouldn't be difficult for Meng Tian to fight the Huns with an army of 30, and Meng Tian did not disappoint Qin Shihuang. Meng Tian adopted a staged and step-by-step attack method against the Huns. First, naturally attack the Huns to recover Henan; finally, build the Great Wall It is used to better resist the attack of the Huns, when the plan was made, Meng Tian decided to give the Huns a surprise."

"Meng Tian personally led the army into two groups, one part went north from Yulin, and then quickly captured the northern part of Hetao, and the other part entered the southern part of Hetao. Facing the fierce attack of the Qin army, the Huns were defenseless. In this way, Meng Tian easily recovered the Henan area and defeated the Qin army. Huns!"

"The army led by Meng Tian defeated the Xiongnu armies in the upper reaches of the Yellow River with an unstoppable force, forcing the Xiongnu to flee seven hundred miles to the north of the desert."

"Meng Tian severely wounded the fierce and brave Xiongnu in just one battle, causing them to be defeated and run around. The Xiongnu did not dare to enter the Han land for decades, and Meng Tian's achievements were the highest. Meng Tian led a heavy army to sit in Shangjun. In order to strengthen the defense line of the Hetao area, To the north of the Yellow River in Hetao, build pavilions and castles, as an outpost of the Yellow River defense line."

"After defeating the Huns, Meng Tian did not relax, but ordered him to start building the Great Wall. Only after the Great Wall was built could it resist the Huns' invasion. At that time, Meng Tian was the nemesis of the Huns!"

"After this battle, it has brought a stable social environment to the north for more than ten years, and created conditions for the development of the Hetao area. Meng Tian fought bravely, won by surprise, and defeated the Huns. This is the biggest achievement in his life. People He was praised as "China's No. [-] Warrior" and he lived up to expectations. Meng Tian was stationed in Shangjun and shocked the Huns for more than ten years.

"Qin Shihuang respected and favored the Meng family very much, trusted and praised Meng Tian's talents, and was close to Meng Tian's younger brother, Meng Yi, who was the highest official. Meng Yi was often a conspiracy, and he was known as loyal at that time. Therefore, the other generals did not dare to compete with them."

"Meng Yi's rule of law was strict, and he never favored the powerful. He was full of civil and military affairs, and no one dared to compete with him. One day, the servant Zhao Gao committed a serious crime. Meng Yi sentenced him to death according to law and removed him from office. Pardoned. From now on, the Meng brothers have become Zhao Gao's heart disease."

"This led to the unjust murder of the two brothers later."

"This is how later, when the first emperor of Qin visited the south and the first emperor passed away, Zhao Gao was worried that it would be bad for him to help Su succeed to the throne and Meng Tian would be reused, so he withheld the will and refused to issue it, and conspired with Hu Hai to usurp the throne. He also threatened and lured Li Si Conspiring with them, Li Si also knew that Fusu would get closer to the two Mengtian brothers, fearing that the two would collude and forge a will that would affect his status."
