Chapter 12: The Unquiet Loop

Since the first emperor unified the six countries, the stability of the country has made the blood in the bones of the old Qin people restless. Lao Qin, who established the country with military merits, began a war with the Xiongnu that spanned more than ten years.

Last year, that is, in the twenty-seventh year of the First Emperor, on the order of the First Emperor, General Meng Tian led 100,000 Qin troops to conquer the Xiongnu and recover 800 miles south of the Hetao. Repelled the Xiongnu and forced the Xiongnu to retreat 300 miles.

The Hetao is the most fertile pasture in the whole grassland, and it is also the disputed place of the entire grassland.

The Dayue clan is the strongest force on the surface of the Hetao, and in this small Hetao, they are entrenched in 200,000 herdsmen, and more than 100 tribes, large and small.

As for why it is said to be the strongest on the surface, it is because no one knows what kind of power the Great Qin, who has honestly built a city south of the Hetao since the defeat of the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu were originally stronger than Da Yue, and before Lao Qin came, they once occupied half of the pastures in the entire Hetao.

In the past, the Xiongnu could drive the Da Yue clan out of the Hetao, kill the Da Yue clan Shan Yu, and use his head to make wine vessels.

But when the 300,000 Huns faced the 100,000 old Qin, they were defeated and defeated. Qin crossbow, Qin Ge, bronze sword and the shout of "wind, wind, wind" have become a nightmare for every Hun. The Xiongnu now live in the south of the Hetao, and have lived up to the prestige of the year.

Donghu is a very small tribe, but it is like a pack of wild wolves in the desert. Wandering in the grasslands east of the Hetao, whether it is Lao Qin, Da Yue or Xiongnu, they will take a bite at every opportunity.

Hetao, Qincheng

This giant city under construction in the south of the Hetao Plain has no name yet, and the people on the grassland call it Qincheng, which is the name of the huge empire in the distance.

Qincheng has been built for more than half a year, the outer city walls have been repaired, and countless craftsmen in the city are busy.

"General, the salt transport team has been intercepted again. This is the third time this month, and if this continues, the migrant workers and the army will run out of salt. In the simple barracks in the city, Meng Tian was sitting upright on the main seat, and an adjutant general below said.

Salt was the most important material that Qin trafficked to the Hetao, and the lack of salt in the grasslands made it extremely expensive but extremely scarce, and only a small bag could be exchanged for a horse from the grassland.

"It's not just a matter of trade now, but our army will probably have to replenish the salt with horse blood." Another lieutenant said.

Salt is an important life-sustaining resource and contains trace elements that are essential for maintaining muscle response, digestive tract movement, and nerve signaling. If a person lacks salt, he will lose his appetite and his limbs will be weak; In severe cases, muscle spasms and blurred vision can be life-threatening.

"I asked you to come, not to complain, but to think of a way." Looking at the chaotic crowd below, Meng Tian was furious for a while.

It's just that what can be done by the big boss in this room.

"The Great Moon Clan, this kind of successive shots, can only be the Great Moon Clan. The Donghu people are a pack of wolves, and they will not go out easily if they don't eat up everything in their hands. The Huns have already been beaten by us, and it is too late to hide from us. With a voice, the curtain of the tent was opened.

"See the princess." I saw the general in the camp who came to his knees.

"Uncle Meng, what are you doing here?" Princess Yue hurriedly helped Meng Tian, who was kneeling on one knee, up.

"I've been suspicious of Yueshi for a long time, but there is no conclusive evidence. Now he has just stopped fighting with the Huns. Rushing to start a war with the Yue clan could not ensure victory, not to mention, the construction of the city would inevitably fall. Meng Tian said to the Moon Princess.

"Taking the initiative to go to war is really not good for us, we will return the favor to the other side, and the Otsuki clan will not dare to speak out if they know that they are in the wrong." Princess Moon said.

"Uncle Meng asked the scout to spread the news, and said that a large caravan had come to Xianyang. This time I brought a group of 600 Black Eagle Swordsmen, and I plan to hide 400 in the cargo first. When the people of the Yue clan came to loot, they suddenly broke out and killed them by surprise. Princess Moon said.

"No, if something happens to you, no one on His Majesty's side will be able to explain it." Meng Tian immediately vetoed it.

"Uncle Meng, you can't trust me, or you can't trust the Black Hawk Swordsman. As the one said, the Whistling Eagle of the Otsuki Clan is hovering in the sky outside the camp, and any movement of our army above cannot hide from the eyes of the Otsuki people. Now only my people can do this. Princess Moon said.

As Qin Shi Huang's henchman, Meng Tian naturally knew the horror of this Black Eagle swordsman under the Black Ice Platform. To put it bluntly, every Black Hawk swordsman is ten enemies and a hundred enemies if he is placed in the army alone.

As for the Moon Princess Wen Congwei and Wu Congwang Qian, they are the most popular among the thirty-four children of His Majesty the First Emperor, and they are also the most favored children of the First Emperor. It is rumored that if it weren't for Princess Yue giving birth to a daughter, it would not be the eldest son Fusu and the little son Hu Hai now.

"No, it just doesn't work." Meng Tian just wanted to agree, but suddenly thought of the eve of the first emperor's accession to the throne.

That night, the first emperor was still the king of Qin, and he said that it was too heavy to kill alone, otherwise how could God let Yue'er take off and become a daughter. Lone is to lay down these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, who can defend it, Fusu can't do it, and Hu Hai is even worse.

Wei Luzi can be called the existence of the child in this era. Wang Jian is the first god of war in Great Qin after Wu Anjun Bai Qi. These two are the teachers of the Moon Princess, and the First Emperor has always cultivated the Moon Princess as a man. But she is not after all, even the greatest person in this Great Qin can't help but deceive herself.

Meng Tian seemed to be able to think of assuming that something happened to Princess Yue. The wrath of the First Emperor will engulf the border army like a tsunami, engulfing the Great Moon, and engulfing the entire Hetao Plain.

"On the orders of the First Emperor, I will give the Winning Moon Deer Lu Sword and the right to be arbitrary." Princess Moon flicked her cloak, and under the red cloak was a quaint long sword, eight feet long.

The Lulu sword is the sword of the Qin kings of the past dynasties, and it is also a symbol of royal power.

"By the Emperor's orders." Hulong's knees in the camp tent fell down, and the sword of King Qin was a symbol of royal power, and seeing the sword was like His Majesty's presence in person.

Hetao, Otsuki, Hugh Mibu

"Prince Yiliang is really powerful, and he beat another wolf today."

"That is, I heard that Prince Yiliang came to conclude an alliance on behalf of the Kushan Department, and when the alliance is concluded, we can drive the Xiongnu and Donghu out of the loop. Occupy their grasslands, rob their cattle and horses, sleep their aunts. ”

"At that time, there will only be us and the old Qin people in the south in the entire Hetao, but the old Qin people are afraid that they can't even provoke the Kushan Empire, it is said that they come from an empire that is more powerful than the Kushan, which is called Great Qin."

"Hunting all day long, and boring, a small place like yours is really boring."

"Prince Yiliang, why don't we intercept the caravan of the old Qin people tomorrow, killing people is much more interesting than hunting."

"Okay, great idea."

"Ha, ha, ha."

In this tent, all the disciples of the entire Otsutsuki clan's Humi and Kushan tribes gathered.
