Qin State, Xianyang, Imperial Study.

In addition to Ying Zheng, there are five people sitting in the room: Li Si, Wei Yi, Fan Tianshi, Zhang Ji, and Wang Ben, all of whom are important ministers who have been in the limelight for a while!

Ying Zheng glanced at the five people, and said in a deep voice: "Today, I summoned Zhuqing to discuss the strategic and tactical issues of the Northern Expedition again, and strive to completely cripple the Xiongnu in this battle, and this battle is a decisive battle!" First of all, Xiao Xiang and Fan Xiang, have all the grain, grass, and baggage been completed? ”

Wei Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, everything is complete, all the prepared materials are sent to Jiuyuan, and forty percent are sent to Yandi, and the follow-up materials are also being mobilized in various places and transported to two places!" Never delay your majesty's march! ”

Ying Zheng nodded when he heard this, and said with relief: "These days, Fan Xiang and Wei Xiang have really worked hard!" With the help of you two prodigies in internal affairs, the United Nations has never had to worry about the national economy and people's livelihood, and you two can be called the pillars of the country, and I want to thank you on behalf of the country and the people! ”

Wei Yu and Fan Tianshi suddenly felt warm in their hearts, and the fatigue that they had been busy in the past few months was immediately swept away, Fan Tianshi smiled and said: "Your Majesty is a promising king, and the minister and Xiao Xiang must also be a promising minister, otherwise wouldn't the world scold me for dragging my majesty back a hundred years later!?" This is a great sin! The crowd laughed!

Ying Zheng also smiled, and asked Zhang Ji again: "Zhang Qing, you just came back from the Dayue Clan, how are their war preparations?" Zhang Ji hurriedly said: "Two years ago, the Da Yue clan was hit hard by the Xiongnu, and the king of the Yue clan was afraid, and he wanted to move west to avoid the enemy, but fortunately my Qin State brought back the Mao Dun Xiong soldiers, so this Yue clan king was very moved by my Daqin." After all, it is difficult to leave the homeland, if there is no way, who wants to leave the homeland! Everyone nodded their heads in deep agreement.

Zhang Ji continued: "This time, the minister sent the envoy to the Dayue clan, but he was touched by the light of His Majesty's boss. The king of the Yue clan was so polite to the ministers, it was really a small banquet on three days, a big banquet on the fifth day, a bounty and silver, and a gift to beautiful women, so much entertainment that almost exhausted the ministers to death! The crowd laughed again.

Ying Zheng also nodded and said: "Yes, Li Si, the so-called 'weak country has no diplomacy', my Great Qin is now strong, and the Xiongnu have also been beaten by us, with such a strong neighbor, the king of the Yue clan is naturally very respectful!" I hope you will remember this sentence! ”

Zhang Ji nodded with a smile, and said: "Later, after the minister proposed to ask the Yue clan to send troops to contain the Tiyì on the right side of the Xiongnu in the autumn, the king of the Yue clan and the ministers had a difficult face, they were already afraid of the Xiongnu, and they did not dare to take the initiative to provoke this strong enemy. Just when the minister tried his best to persuade the Yueshi country, the news of the sudden general Guan raiding the right part of the Xiongnu and achieving a brilliant victory reached the Yueshi, and the king of the Yueshi and the nobles of the Yueshi immediately changed their minds and claimed to agree to send 100,000 troops to help, but after the big victory, the grassland on the right side of the Xiongnu should be owned by the Yueshi! ”

Wang Ben immediately jumped up and said, "What, this Yue's people are poor and crazy, so I'm embarrassed to make this kind of request!" They don't want to think about how capable they are, not to mention the repeated defeats with the Huns, this time they are dealing with the weakest right of the three Huns, and they are embarrassed to ask for such a large territory! Never agree! ”

Zhang Ji said with a smile: "General Li doesn't have to be anxious, this requires Zhang to naturally not do it, I said, 'If your country has the strength to seize the grassland on the right side of the Xiongnu on its own, it will naturally belong to your country, but if you want my Qin State to help, it is best to divide the two countries equally', this Yue clan king immediately agreed! ”

Wang Ben said: "Isn't this the same? Zhang Ji smiled: "Of course it's different!" I say this, one can show his advantage, so that the Yueshi people are wholeheartedly ready to send troops to contain the right part of the Xiongnu, so that they cannot return to the royal court; The second is to leave an ambush, you think: with the ability of the Yueshi people, although there are only 50,000 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of herdsmen left on the right side of the Xiongnu, it is still difficult for the Yueshi people to win, and in the end, they don't want my Qin State to help!? Therefore, if nothing else, the grassland on the right side of the Xiongnu should be divided equally between our country and the Yueshi country! After all, people have also counted out the soldiers and done their best, so they can't not give no benefit to others! ”

Wang Ben nodded and said with a smile: "This is about the same, their little ability is only worthy of such a large territory!" Lord Zhang is really insidious, set up a big sleeve for the Yue's people to drill! They laughed.

Ying Zheng also smiled: "It's okay to give them a piece of land for the time being, wait for our Qin State to slow down, and then slowly clean them up!" Everyone was taken aback, and Zhang Ji said: "Your Majesty means that after defeating the Huns, the next step will be the turn of the Yue Clan?" ”

Ying Zheng said earnestly: "Have you forgotten my words: 'There are no eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests'!? Great Qin is strong now, but it may not be strong in a hundred years; The Yueshi is weak now, but it may not be weak in a hundred years! Therefore, for the sake of the future security of our Great Qin, we must not leave any strong enemies around our country!

Zhuqing, my Great Qin has just stood out from the chaos of hundreds of years, it is the time when famous generals gather and sages gather, it is impossible to have so many outstanding talents like today in the next hundreds of years, this is really a great opportunity for the great development of my descendants of Yan and Huang given by God. If we don't hurry up and expand our territory, future generations will point our noses and scold us for being incompetent! ”

Everyone suddenly fell into silence, silently thinking about Fusu's Jianyi, and suddenly, Li Si said: "What His Majesty said is extremely true, when all of us are alive, we must at least lay a hundred years of peace for future generations!" As for the development of China in a hundred years, it depends on our descendants themselves! ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said: "What Li Si said is extremely true, when we are alive, it is of course very important to lay a hundred years of peace for future generations, otherwise it will not make me wait for a trip to the world!" However, this is not the most important thing, in fact, the most important thing we need to do is to leave a spirit to future generations: a pioneering and enterprising, never-ending spirit; A spirit of being able to write and martial arts and develop in an all-round way. As long as this spirit lasts forever, even if we are all gone, even if it is difficult for future generations to gather as many sages as today, with the overall strength of our Chinese nation, no matter what dynasty our country is, it will be the most powerful country in the world! I think that if we do this, even if two or three hundred years later, the dynasty of Z has changed, and Qin no longer exists, but all of us here can still go down in history and be glorious for a thousand years! ”

Everyone listened to the blood boiling, the most important honor of the people of Z country, how attractive this world-famous honor that has been recorded in history and has been glorious for thousands of years, suddenly made everyone high-spirited and eager to try!

Li Xin was anxious, and said with a red face: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will give out these hundred catties, and they will also show future generations how heroic and invincible their ancestors are!" If you don't beat the Huns this time, you will shed the last drop of blood, and the ministers will never withdraw their troops! ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Ying Zheng also laughed: "General Li is really a brave general, very good, it is difficult to win with this kind of spirit!" Now, Zhuqing discussed, what strategy should our army adopt to start this life-and-death decisive battle with the Xiongnu? ”

Everyone suddenly looked carefully at the huge map behind Fusu and began to think silently.

Soon, Li Si spoke up: "Your Majesty, the minister will talk about the overall strategy!" Fusu smiled: "Okay, then I and Zhuqing will listen to you!" ”

Li Si got up and came to the map, and everyone's eyes changed!

Li Si said in a deep voice: "Among the three Xiongnu tribes, it is now the dominant force of the royal court, with about 140,000 troops, 60,000 on the left and 50,000 on the right. According to the deployment of its troops, the minister's intention to use troops is as follows: the right side of the Xiongnu has the Yueshi people to send 100,000 troops to contain them, and under the lure of heavy profits, these Yueshi people must be very hardworking, so it is basically impossible for the 50,000 cavalry on the right side of the Xiongnu to return to the royal court. However, considering the relatively inferior skills of the Yue generals, although there are many soldiers, it is difficult to ensure that everything is perfect, so Chen Jian Yì transferred the 'broken army' iron cavalry into the Yang Mountain north of Gaoque to ambush. If the Yueshi people win and destroy the right part of the Xiongnu, then the 'broken army' does not have to be dispatched; if the Yueshi people are unfortunately defeated by the right side of the Huns, the Huns will win more with less, and the price to pay is probably very heavy, and the 'broken army' at this time has to do is: immediately and quickly dispatch, day and night to break north, in one fell swoop, the remaining right part of the Xiongnu will be completely destroyed, to avoid its return to the royal court or turn to the southeast to cut off the main grain route of our army north of the North Plains!

The strength of the left part of the Xiongnu rebuilding was only 60,000 people, which was slightly stronger than that of the right part, but the light and heavy cavalry of our army gathered in Yandi reached 120,000 people, far exceeding the strength of the Xiongnu. With General Han's ability to use troops, there is no problem in winning, but there is no need to dispatch all of them. I built yì, only using 50,000 light cavalry and 10,000 heavy cavalry, but all the horses were brought with them, so that each person had four war horses, and his mobility was greatly enhanced, and he was only stronger than the Huns; And because these war horses have been fed corn a month in advance, their bodies are very strong, and now is the time for the autumn fat horses to be strong, so they can easily pursue the main force on the left of the Xiongnu and fight a decisive battle with it! If General Han moves quickly, maybe after destroying the left part of the Xiongnu, he can also take advantage of the situation to move in the direction of the royal court and respond to the main force of our Chinese army!

The most difficult thing to deal with is the main force of the Xiongnu royal court 140,000 people, at present our army has 130,000 light and heavy cavalry on standby in the northern plains, Xianyang has 70,000 heavy cavalry, 50,000 light cavalry, and 50,000 new infantry, so that the soldiers that can be used to deal with the Xiongnu royal court can reach 300,000 people. However, China's current strength cannot support the northern expedition with so many troops, so after discussing with the generals, it was decided to use only half of the troops, that is, 120,000 light cavalry and 30,000 heavy cavalry, with General Meng Tian's military talent, such a force is enough. Moreover, the number of horses in our army is just enough to ensure the level of four horses per person for these 150,000 horsemen; Similarly, these horses were also fed corn a month in advance, ensuring that the horses had enough body to carry out the long journey! The new infantry, which is also suitable for grassland campaigns, is not suitable for long-distance maneuvering and fierce battles with the main force of the Huns due to its lack of mobility, so they do not go out with them, but as logistics troops, it is still very suitable to protect the smooth flow of grain routes!

Since the purpose of this northern expedition was to solve the problem of the Xiongnu once and for all, it was impossible to collect troops casually if the goal was not achieved, so the requirements for the logistical supply of our army were very high, and the ministers also made two preparations: 1. Instructed the generals of all armies to try their best to feed the war with war, seize the horses and livestock of the Huns as supplies, and rely as little as possible on domestic supplies; 2. The number of troops to ensure the logistical supply of the Mengtian First Road Army will reach 300,000 people, and a large number of infantry, manpower, and material resources from Jiuyuan, Guanzhong, and Bashu will be mobilized; There were 150,000 people who were guaranteed to be supplied by Meng Tian's army, mainly from the vicinity of Yan, Qi, and Zhao.

The minister has thought about it, if the two generals Meng Tian and Meng Yi can solve the war within three months, and about 30% of the supplies rely on the war to feed the war, our country's national strength can still be bearable. However, after this battle, if the Xiongnu cannot be completely solved, I am afraid that our army will not be able to have the ability to go north on a large scale for at least three years, and there will be too many national resources to be used in this battle! ”

Ying Zheng nodded when he heard this: "Very good, what Wei Qing said is very agreeable, it seems that the Taiwei Department has made careful plans for this battle, I am very relieved!" However, as Tonggu [Li Si's words] said, this battle can be called a national battle, if it cannot be completely solved, there will be trouble in the future, so before leaving, I must do a good job for the soldiers, and the future of the country depends on them! ”

Wang Ben said murderously: "Your Majesty, don't you worry, doesn't the Hun Royal Court still have a hidden hidden chess piece of your Majesty, plus the lives of the three armies, I don't believe that Mao Dun is not dead this time!" Everyone here basically knew this, and couldn't help but laugh!

At the same time, the Mobei royal court was also full of important ministers in the Golden Horde, but everyone's face was heavy and gloomy.

Mao Dun, who was sitting on the throne, had a gloomy face, his brows furrowed tightly, and he looked at Zhao Sheng and said, "Military Master, can you tell me about the current situation in the Qin State?" ”

"Yes, Da Shan Yu!" Zhao Sheng nodded, got up and said: "According to the report of the Sentry Post: At present, the Qin army in Yuyang and Beiyuan is assembling and mobilizing on a large scale, and countless grains, grasses, and baggage are also transported to the starry night. However, the last time the Qin State advanced north was only two years ago, and the national strength has not been completely recovered, so it should be impossible to have more troops dispatched this time than the last time, but it will not be less than 200,000 people. Moreover, according to reliable sources, the Otsuki clan is also fully armed, and about 100,000 cavalry are preparing to cross the sea of quicksand for thousands of miles to attack the land on our right. In other words, our Great Huns will soon be attacked by the combined forces of more than 300,000 troops of Qin and Dayue, and the troops of our Great Huns are only 250,000, and they do not have any advantage in terms of troops! Zhao Sheng said, looked at the generals, and found that everyone was worried.

It's no wonder that the Dayue Clan doesn't matter, but the Qin army has repeatedly defeated the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu army has no temper at all, making the Huns afraid of the Qin State!

Zhao Sheng sighed in his heart, but his face was very strict: "What's even more terrifying is that according to the reconnaissance and infiltration of Xianyang, the slogan of the Qin State this time is: Bi Qi Gong is in a battle, I will not destroy my Great Huns, and I will not return to the army!" Therefore, this battle will be related to the life and death of our Great Huns, and I ask all the generals to be able to use their lives and desperately retreat from the enemy! ”

The generals' faces became even heavier when they heard this, but Mao Dun clenched his fists and said loudly: "My Great Hun is the king of the grassland, and he is invincible!" Since the Qin army is coming, then I will accompany you to the end! All the warriors of the Great Huns, why are they all gloomy!? Where is all your usual courage!? Do you still look like the descendants of the Great Kunlun God!? Sue sù Ben Dan Yu, do you have the confidence to win? ”

"There's-!" The crowd was scolded for a while, and they were also aroused to blood, and roared wildly, all with red eyes like hungry wolves!

"Good!" Mao Dun nodded with satisfaction: "Then Shan Yu will talk about the specific deployment of the battle!"

First of all, it was immediately spread that the remnants of the soldiers and horses on the right side of the right side of the right valley were led by the king of the right valley to block the Yue's cavalry with all their might, even if the last person fought to the end, he could not let the Yue's people and the Qin army form a joint attack on the royal court! With the bravery and sophistication of the King of the Right Valley, although there are many people in the Yue Clan, they can't take advantage of him.

Secondly, he urgently ordered King Zuo Xian and King Zuo Gu Li to immediately retreat their troops to the depths of Mobei to avoid losses; At the same time, 60,000 cavalry pay attention to avoid the battle, that Meng Tian is too cunning, whether it is a battle or a surprise battle, King Zuo Xian and King Zuo Gu Li are not his opponents, only if they do not fight, and gradually lead them to the depths of Mobei, there is a chance to win.

In the end, it is the decisive battle between our royal court and the main force of the Qin army. In view of the strong strength of the Qin army, after careful consideration, Ben Shan decided to use three strategies to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army: first, the royal court troops immediately moved northward to avoid losses, so as to achieve the strong walls and clear the wilderness as the Qin people said; 2. When the troops retreated, they killed some cattle and sheep and abandoned them in lakes and rivers to spread the plague and weaken the combat strength of the Qin army; 3. The main force of our army gathers together, maintains a suitable distance from the Qin army, slowly lures it to the depths of Mobei, and after the Qin army is tired, we will fight to the death with it!

Do you have any comments on the deployment of this single Yu? After Mao Dun finished speaking, he glanced at the generals.

The grassland people are as warlike wolves, strong and attack, weak and retreat, that is a very natural thing, and it is not like the people of Z who fight to the death and do not retreat is a hero!

Hearing this, the generals looked at each other, and the new Zuo Da Tou Zamur said: "Da Danyu, I don't have any opinions on the rest, but isn't it a little inappropriate to kill cattle and sheep and abandon them in the flow of rivers and lakes to spread the plague?" After all, the prairie has been the home of my Huns for thousands of years, and if it is occupied by the plague, then even if the Qin army is defeated, where will my Huns go to nomadism!? ”

The generals nodded when they heard this, and Ahu'er also said: "Yes, Da Danyu, the Monan grassland is too close to the Qin State, and it is very unsafe. We must not move to the far north, where it is too cold and there is little production for our tribe to survive! ”

Mao Dun said with a gloomy face: "Shut up for Ben Danyu!" What do you know!? If my Great Huns are defeated this time, the whole clan will be finished, and it is difficult to say whether there will be the name of my Huns on this prairie in the future! And as long as it is difficult to defeat the Qin people, then the Qin people will not offend our Great Huns again for at least three or five years, we can temporarily stay in the extreme north for a year or two, and then return to Mobei when the plague passes! Look at your little bit of interest, don't say it again, this matter has been decided, and it will not be changed! ”

When the generals heard this, they looked at each other and had no choice but to agree. Su Ku also frowned, secretly frightened!

So, from now on, the Xiongnu tribes began to move north, and at the same time killed a large number of livestock and abandoned them in rivers and lakes, ready to fight to the death with the Qin army!

At the same time, a Ding Lingmi envoy rushed to the Central Plains with Suku's secret letter!
