Chapter 233: This Can't Be Done
"Good news, Your Majesty, good news!"
A palace man rushed into the Qilin Hall in ecstasy, holding a good news in his hand, and shouted excitedly to Yingzheng.
Everyone in the hall snorted, and they all looked at the palace man who had made the news.
There's no way, this good news is really a bit inexplicable, and people have to be surprised.
Ying Zheng's pupils also shrank, as if even he, the emperor, couldn't understand how Daqin could have good news at this time.
At present, although Daqin is on an expedition to the north, according to the plan, he will only use troops after the Xiongnu are dispatched, how can there be good news at this time?
Could it be that the North won the battle so quickly?
But...... This can't be!
Everyone was confused.
You know, there is a world of difference between the war report and the good news. Good news, refers to a big victory.
However, Li Yang has only been on the expedition for half a month, and it will take five days from Xianyang to the Great Wall camp, that is to say, Li Yang has only achieved a big victory in ten days?
What a joke!
In ten days, the Xiongnu were defeated and a great victory was achieved. According to this, if you give ten more days, won't you unify the Xiongnu? It's nothing short of whimsical.
Regardless of whether you plunder the livestock of the steppe according to the initial plan, or the main force of the Qin army fought a decisive battle with the Xiongnu, it was impossible to achieve a great victory so quickly.
You must know that Meng Tian had been preparing for the northern expedition against the Xiongnu for several years, two years of campaigning, and dozens of battles of all sizes, but he did not dare to make a good report. Because the Xiongnu were flexible and mobile, they would flee when they saw that the situation was not good, and their main force would be difficult to annihilate at all.
If you can't defeat the enemy's main force, you can't call it a great victory.
Therefore, it was not until the Hetao was recaptured later that Meng Tian sent a good report, saying that he had recovered all the land in Henan.
In particular, the plundering of livestock, unless the livestock plundered by Li Yang was enough to put the Xiongnu in a desperate situation, there was no way to talk about the so-called "great victory".
In short, the grassland of the Xiongnu is so large, the livestock are all over the grassland, and the Xiongnu can gather 150,000 troops to resist at any time, it is impossible to plunder the grassland livestock in ten days, or defeat the main force of the Xiongnu.
It is precisely because of this that there is a sudden good news, which is a little inexplicable.
Ying Zheng asked suspiciously: "Is it good news from the north?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it's good news from the north!"
The palace man who delivered the report replied, and then immediately took a few steps forward and delivered the good news to Liu Xi, the CRRC Ling.
"Huh? What a good news for the north! ”
Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded, and all of them were full of doubts.
I thought, what the hell is this Li Yang doing?
Ying Zheng also frowned, then coughed, and said to Liu Xi: "Read it and listen to it!" ”
In Ying Zheng's view, Li Yang does not play cards according to the routine in everything, never follows the rules, and the ghost knows if he has achieved a little victory, so he will report the good news.
Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to this so-called good news.
At this time, Liu Xi hurriedly opened the concerto, glanced at it, and then said, "Your Majesty, this is ...... It was not the good news sent by the dean, but the Great Wall camp Wang Li. ”
"Oh?"
At this moment, everyone was stunned and surprised.
Because if a big victory is really achieved, this good news should be transmitted by Li Yang, after all, he is the coach of the Northern Expedition. And now, how could this so-called good news be sent by Wang Li?
To be honest, everyone is a little confused.
"What did Wang Li say?" Ying Zheng hurriedly asked.
Liu Xi continued to look at it, and then the whole person was stunned, and then raised his head suddenly, his hands trembled with excitement, and said, "Your Majesty, great joy, great joy!" ”
"Big joy? Don't...... What a good news? ”
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately straightened up.
"Yes, a great victory in the north, Your Majesty!" Liu Xi nodded excitedly, and hurriedly said: "The good news said that a few days ago, the dean ordered General Wang Li and General Zhang Han to divide their troops into two ways to sweep the Xiongnu grassland and win a complete victory. The court of Maodun was swept away, and the city of Touman was burned, and the raid captured more than 600,000 Hun people, more than 400,000 horses, and millions of cattle and sheep! ”
Speaking of this, Liu Xi said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, this is simply an earth-shattering miracle!" My Great Qin has been fighting with the Xiongnu for many years, and such a result has never been achieved! ”
All of a sudden, the whole hall was in an uproar.
Everyone's jaws fell to the ground in shock!
The royal court of Maudun was swept away, the city was burned, and more than 600,000 people, more than 400,000 horses, and millions of cattle and sheep were captured.
This...... How is this possible!
All of a sudden, everyone in the hall was shocked, and everyone was stunned, completely unable to believe that this could be true.
Ying Zheng also gasped, for fear that he had heard it wrong, and asked excitedly, "Is this...... Is this true? ”
Liu Xi nodded violently: "That's exactly what this good news says." ”
"This ......"
Ying Zheng was stunned, and stood up with a snort, because he was too excited, his face turned red, and his body trembled a little: "So...... In this way, didn't my Great Qin's sweep of the grasslands this time wash away the people and livestock of the Xiongnu? ”
Quiescence!
No one spoke, for everyone was speechless by the news.
Li Xin and Meng Tian glanced at each other, and they both began to wonder if they were dreaming.
Li Yang went on the expedition for a total of 15 days.
It takes five days to travel from Xianyang to the Great Wall Daying, and it takes two days for this good news to be transmitted from Shangjun to Xianyang, that is to say...... It only took Li Yang eight days to not only defeat the royal court of Maudun, but also to plunder most of the Xiongnu's people and livestock by the way......
Eight days, eight days!
In eight days, the Xiongnu were almost destroyed...... What kind of joke is this?
This...... Isn't that ridiculous?
Anyway, Li Xin and Meng Tian couldn't believe it.
If it was really possible to make the Xiongnu close to the end of the country in eight days, it would have been impossible to fight for two years at that time, only to recapture the Hetao, and it would have been impossible to force the Great Qin to raise the strength of the whole country to build the Great Wall to resist the Xiongnu.
Meng Tian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said, "Your Majesty, this ...... Could this be a mistake? The Xiongnu can gather an army of 150,000 at any time, how can the king sweep away the Xiongnu steppe in a few days from them, and also burn all the royal courts of Maotun, which ...... That's never going to happen. ”
Li Xin also said: "Yes, the Xiongnu grassland is so vast, from Yinshan in the south to Hanhai in the north, the Xiongnu people are nomadic people, extremely scattered, and Wang Li wants to plunder more than 600,000 people, more than 400,000 horses, millions of cattle and sheep, a few days, it is impossible to do." Unless...... Unless the Xiongnu army watched them sweep the steppe and did not stop it, the royal court of Maodun alone would probably not be able to defeat it in a few days. ”
Everyone also nodded, feeling that this good news was completely unrealistic.
Even Li Si, Xiao He and others, who have always admired Li Yang's talents, feel that it is almost a joke to want to achieve such results in a few days.
Although Li Yang has the talent to penetrate the heavens and the earth, although Li Yang has also captured two cities in three days in the past, but the Xiongnu are not Pei County and Xiaxiang County, even if you Li Yang is powerful, it is impossible to plunder the Xiongnu to the point of losing the country in a few days, right?
In short, no one in the temple believed that this could be true.
Originally, Feng Quji and Bai Zheng heard good news from the north, and they were a little worried about whether they had won the battle. As a result, they were relieved to hear such shocking news.
Unrealistic news, that is naturally fake.
At this time, Ying Zheng also frowned, his lips pursed, and he looked uncertain. Because Li Xin and Meng Tian were right, it was only a few days, and unless the Xiongnu army was dead, Wang Li would not have time to sweep most of the grassland.
Since there is no time to sweep most of the grasslands, the so-called 600,000 Hun people, hundreds of thousands of horses, and millions of cattle and sheep are all.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng immediately said: "Old General Li, the military department immediately sent someone to Shangjun to be sure of this matter!" ”
"Whoa!" Li Xin immediately received the order, and then prepared to retreat for the time being, and sent people back to the military department.
However......
At this time, another palace person who had reported the news walked into the hall quickly and said, "Your Majesty, Jiuyuan County is six hundred miles away!" ”
Ordinary reports will not be directly transmitted to the Qilin Palace, only urgent performances of important military affairs such as six hundred miles and eight hundred miles, because the matter is urgent and special, so it will be directly presented to the emperor.
And Jiuyuan County is actually the Hetao side.
In 214 BC, Qin Shi Huang ordered the general Meng Tian to lead an army of 300,000 to attack the Xiongnu and occupy the Hetao area, so Jiuyuan County was established.
"What's going on in Jiuyuan County?"
Ying Zheng hurriedly asked.
The palace man who reported the report said: "Jiuyuan County guards urgently, General Wang Li will move more than 600,000 Xiongnu people who have been captured to Jiuyuan County, and the county guards are anxious to ask the court for a solution!" ”
Ga!
As soon as these words fell, everyone in the temple almost fell to the ground!
Everyone was like a ghost, their eyes widened, their mouths were open enough to stuff a duck egg, and they were extremely stunned!
