Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 292
"I don't know why Lord Chang'an thinks that I can be the commander of the Northern Expedition?" Although the awe of Ziying became stronger and stronger, Meng Tian's strong curiosity still made Meng Tian express his doubts.

"Because I believe that no one in civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty can do better than you." Ziying said to Meng Tian inscrutablely: "Of course except me."

"Mr. Chang'an is wrong." Meng Tian shook his head shyly and said, "Actually, I have been thinking about it for the past few days but I have no good strategy to defeat the enemy."

"I believe the general will find a solution." Ziying said confidently: "General, please follow me."

After finishing speaking, he got up first and led Meng Tian to a secluded courtyard in the mansion.

The small courtyard did not seem to be cleaned in time, many fallen leaves were scattered randomly in the courtyard, and there was still a large piece of mud that hadn't dried out in one corner of the courtyard.

"General Meng laughed at me. The servants of my house are not allowed to enter here. It's a bit sloppy." Ziying said with a smile: "General, please come in!"

The hut connected to the courtyard didn't have too many furnishings. Because there were no windows, the room looked gloomy. Ziying lit a few oil lamps to brighten the room.

As soon as the room was lit up, Meng Tian was attracted by a huge object in the middle of the room without Ziying explaining.

In the main hall of the house, a huge wooden table is densely covered with mountains, rivers, city gates and passes.

Ziying marked the place names on several cities, and with the help of these place names, Meng Tian could easily see that this was a geographical map of the mountains and rivers of several counties in the northern part of the Great Qin Dynasty.

"You don't have to look at me that way, and I can't guarantee that it's completely correct, but at least it's [-]% to [-]% correct." Ziying said looking at the surprised Meng Tian.

In the final analysis, this is just a sand table familiar to modern people. However, in the eyes of ancient generals like Meng Tian, ​​Ziying's sand table is no different from a weapon on the battlefield.

For a qualified commander, it is no less than a surprise soldier.

Following the original sand table made by Ziying himself from living mud, Meng Tian's gaze started from Xianyang all the way to Beizai and looked carefully at the Henan land north of Beidi County.

"This road is not allowed." However, looking up, you can see that Ziying, the border area in Henan, is not only built higher than the surrounding area (Ordos Plateau), but also has several deserts densely covered in it, and there are not many water sources.

Moving his eyes to the east, Meng Tian's eyes suddenly brightened: "Mr. Chang'an means to go to the county" and then his eyes turned to his old place in the cloud.

"Go straight to Longtan!"

Ziying nodded and said with a smile: "I don't know what strategy General Meng has at this time?"

Hearing Ziying's words, Meng Tian stared at the sand table excitedly and said: "Our army can go east to Shangjun, stretch Wuding River and Kuye River to the north quickly, cross the big river and go straight to Hetao!"

Shangjun is owned by me, and supplies can be supplied nearby along the way. In this way, the food and grass we need to prepare can be greatly reduced, and we can form an army and go out from now on.

Although the Huns have more people than our army, but the Huns are scattered everywhere, if we march at the fastest speed, crossing the big river north before the Huns are assembled is enough to defeat them. "

Meng Tian talked faster and faster.

"Pointing to an area on the sand table with one hand, this is the former site of Zhao Zhijiuyuan City. After the Xiongnu occupied it, they didn't like farming and didn't like living in the city, so they abandoned it.

After our army breaks through, we can occupy Jiuyuan City to defend the city. The Huns are not good at attacking the city. With Jiuyuan in hand, as long as there is enough food and grass, they can be invincible.

As for Henan, although it belongs to the Xiongnu, most of them are Loufan and Linhu people who were conquered by the Huns.

Once our army occupies the Hetao area and cuts off the connection between the Xiongnu and Henan, only one partial division can be ordered to surrender. "

Meng Tian finished speaking in one breath, then looked at Ziying with great vigor and said, "Thank you Chang'an for teaching me!"

From Meng Tian's point of view, the purpose of Ziying bringing him here is just to wake him up, as for why he did this, he did it just out of concern for his own face, Lord Chang'an must have already made up his mind.

Little did they know that Ziying's heart was filled with the same turmoil, it was not surprising that Meng Tian could come up with such a scheme, after all, this was Meng Tian's Beiding Xiongnu conspiracy in history.

Even if Ziying doesn't say anything, Meng Tian can figure it out after a few more days on board, when the scouts who are one step ahead get the latest geographical information.

To Ziying's surprise, after only a few glances at the sand table, Meng Tian had already designed a more feasible plan after a while.

"There are some people in this world who are born for war." Ziying sighed secretly.

Of course, the unfathomable expression was still on the face, and he said to Meng Tian: "Go back and clean up. Tomorrow, you and I will go to the palace to ask Shi Huangdi for orders to come out."

"Thank you!"
