Chapter 584: The Battle of Liwei (First Update)
Although he knew that Yinggao said this, there was also a joke in it, but of course Han Xin also had this confidence in himself, since he hit Yinggao's command, isn't what he has been doing all this time is this job of winning more with less?
"Qin Law doesn't need it, you go here, you can deal with this matter flexibly after you arrive, the effect I want to achieve is nothing more than to form a certain deterrent to those forces around me, and at the same time let the people of the Peacock Dynasty see how strong my Great Qin's soldiers are, after these two goals are achieved, you can return by yourself."
What Ying Gao said this time was not a joke, the reason why Han Xin was allowed to go this time was for two purposes, one was to kill chickens and monkeys, and the other was to give confidence to the people of the Peacock Dynasty, so that they could participate in the army of Great Qin with a very positive attitude, after all, such a powerful army, once the battle started, it would be quite easy to obtain military merits, and the people of the Peacock Dynasty would naturally actively participate in the conscription of Great Qin.
After Han Xin got Yinggao's order, he didn't say anything more, and went on his own, but he knew in his heart that although Yinggao said that it was not a big deal, Han Xin knew that this matter could be completely done by Meng Tian.
According to the current situation, a Sima Xin is enough to defend Hua's City, but this matter still falls on his head, not because his combat ability will be much stronger, but because the merit of destroying a dynasty again will fall on his head.
What kind of direction Yinggao cultivates Han Xin, Han Xin has a number in his heart, and of course he also hopes that his ability and his own attack can support Yinggao's requirements for him, so for this matter, he must do it, and he must succeed.
The day after Han Xin took over this matter, Great Qin began the long-lost conscription, and unlike before, although it had been stated in the notices sent to various places that this conscription was very likely to be assigned to the Western Regions or the Peacock Dynasty, but this still did not stop the enthusiasm of the people.
The 30,000 people who were finally recruited were basically screened out after thousands of selections, or if they were not controlled, although they could not reach the figure of 200,000 that Yinggao and Han Xin said when they talked, there must be more than 100,000.
When 30,000 people were assembled on the outskirts of Xianyang City, Han Xin quietly took them to the direction of the Western Regions, this time the departure was not like the previous ones, there was no announcement from the court, and there was no Yinggao with a lot of officials to see him off, only Han Xin took a few of his own Qin soldiers' lieutenants, obviously, this was a secret operation, and even most of the Great Qin officials did not know that Han Xin had left Xianyang City.
Han Xin brought these 30,000 soldiers who had never fought in battle to the Western Regions according to Yinggao's requirements, and showed Fusu his intention, what Han Xin didn't expect was that Fusu had already gathered an army of thirty or forty thousand at the gate to the Peacock Dynasty.
Through this incident, Han Xin could see why Yinggao didn't have any suspicions about his brother, and what Fusu said, generally speaking, Yinggao took it very seriously.
In fact, there is no deeper reason for this, that is, because Fusu is not only good at his head, but almost all the things in his head are for the good of Great Qin, if it weren't for Fusu's keen discovery of some things inside the Peacock Dynasty and reminding Yinggao that it may be time to go further, it is still unknown whether Yinggao can make up his mind to send Han Xin over.
Basically, there was no delay in the Western Regions, and Han Xin passed through the gate of the Western Regions with more than 30,000 elite soldiers who had been replaced, and rushed to the territory of the Mauryan Empire for the second time.
This time, he no longer has to regard himself as Xiang Yu's deputy for the sake of the overall situation, although there are only more than 30,000 people, but Han Xin knows that if he can keep a low profile and mysterious, it is still possible to complete this task at a very fast speed.
Han Xin's first stop was naturally Hua's City, although it was a secret operation, but if a team of 30,000 people wanted to be in the territory of the Peacock Dynasty without being discovered by Meng Tian's defenses, it was basically impossible, and now the city of the Peacock Dynasty was completely controlled by Great Qin, and the chaotic days before were long gone.
"What? The king actually agreed to continue the expansion? ”
After asking Han Xin's intentions, Meng Tian didn't care about it, Yinggao handed over the matter to Han Xin instead of letting him go directly, but looked happy.
After completely occupying the Mauryan Dynasty, according to Meng Tian's thoughts, it was indeed time for them to go further, especially for the Seleuc, who had had some intentions against the Mauryan Dynasty before, it was a place that Meng Tian really wanted to attack in person.
But after some attention and investigation, Meng Tian found that this Seleucid dynasty was not so easy to take, and there were at least two or three hundred thousand troops in the dynasty, and they were basically cavalry.
This number is not something that Meng Tian can attack casually, after Chen Ping and Peng Yue took away 50,000 sailors, excluding the army guarding Hua's City and other important cities, the cavalry that can allow Meng Tian to move freely is a little more than 100,000, even if your combat effectiveness is stronger than that of other Seleucians, it is still a bit different for you people to forcibly attack others, Meng Tian knows that once Daqin's cavalry is always slapped in the face in a certain battle, it will not be easy to deal with things in the future.
But this time Han Xin took the task to this place, although Meng Tian did not have any research, but he also knew that his scale was far from being comparable to the Seleucid Dynasty, and the relationship between this power and the surrounding dynasties was very bad, and it belonged to the type that everyone hated but no one wanted to attack.
Han Xin came this time, except for the food and grass, basically the sergeants and generals were very sufficient. After talking about the situation to Lu Jia and Meng Tian, Han Xin took the men and horses to his destination on his own.
The dynasty that was chosen by Yinggao was honorably located between the area controlled by Great Qin and the area controlled by the Xiongnu, but it must be able to pass through from the territory controlled by Great Qin.
Yinggao almost didn't give any guiding advice on Han Xin's actions after he arrived in the Peacock Dynasty, in other words, after arriving here, what he wanted to do was up to Han Xin himself, and Yinggao was only responsible for waiting for the results in Xianyang City.
Under such circumstances, Han Xin did not directly attack the enemy, but went to the place controlled by the Huns, and then stationed the army in a nearby city, and then took a few of his personal guards to the city where Xiang Yu was.
Without any warning, Han Xin knew that he had arrived at the city where Xiang Yu was, and after learning the news, Xiang Yu was both surprised and happy, this year's time, the Xiongnu almost had no connection with Daqin in the territory of the Peacock Dynasty, Meng Tian and Lu Jia were in full swing to develop everything in the Peacock Dynasty, and Xiang Yu was also working hard for the progress of the Xiongnu, and it was a lot of gains.
Within this year's time, the Huns of the Mauryan Empire were able to master some basic farming things, although they were still very reluctant to cultivate, but because of Xiang Yu's insistence, they still had to do it.
Xiang Yu believed that after a year or two of transition, he should be able to make the Huns regain their habits.
But at the same time, he also knew that the gap between the Xiongnu and Daqin in all aspects would definitely widen, so during this time, Daqin's attitude towards the Xiongnu became very important.
And now, since Han Xin can go directly to his own city, it not only shows the relationship between Han Xin and himself, but also shows that Yinggao's attitude towards the Xiongnu is still very positive, which must be a good thing for the Xiongnu.
There is no doubt that Han Xin was warmly received by Xiang Yu, and the relationship between the two of them has always been very solid, especially since they attacked Hua's City from the Western Regions together.
Han Xin still admires Xiang Yu's talent, and although Xiang Yu is in command of the Huns, Xiang Yu himself is from the Central Plains, and the Huns and Daqin still have a paper covenant, so it is not unusual for Han Xin to say that Xiang Yu came to visit.
Of course, the main reason why Han Xin came over was that once he didn't come, when he took 30,000 people to attack the enemy, he would definitely alarm Xiang Yu, and after alarming Xiang Yu, it would not necessarily be what was going on if he said it again, not to mention that it would affect the relationship between Daqin and the Xiongnu at that time, once the Huns sent troops, it was very likely that their plans would be destroyed, and the sneak attack would not succeed at one time, and he would take 30,000 people to defeat the 100,000 army of others, by the way, it is not a simple matter to take other people's territory.
"What? You're going to lead these 30,000 people to take down the White Tiger Dynasty? ”
After Han Xin met Xiang Yu alone, he immediately expressed his meaning, that is, to take down his goal, that is, the dynasty known as the White Tiger Dynasty in this realm.
Although Xiang Yu didn't take this dynasty that was not very large, but with only 30,000 cavalry, he wanted to take down this dynasty, and Xiang Yu still didn't dare to believe it.
"Yes, the king's order, Han Xin naturally does not dare to disobey it, this matter is indeed a certain degree of difficulty, but because this White Tiger Dynasty and Shan Yu's territory are really a little close, so Han Xin needs to go to Shan Yu's realm as soon as possible to inform one or two!"
As soon as Han Xin said this, Xiang Yu knew what he meant, he was a force on behalf of Great Qin, that is, a Han Xin with 30,000 men and horses, and they didn't want to unite with you Xiongnu, so they just came to tell you.
"The monarch of Great Qin, this is to use this White Tiger Dynasty, which is not popular around the Peacock Dynasty, to establish his authority! Once the general succeeds in this battle, the forces around the Mauryan Dynasty will naturally shudder, but I wonder if the general has considered a question? ”
Ying Gao's mind this time was not very difficult to guess, Xiang Yu could almost immediately see that Ying Gao wanted Daqin to establish his authority through this matter, but when it came to the end, his face was also a little serious.
"What's the problem? Please speak out! ”
"Once the general attacks the White Tiger Dynasty with the power of thunder, even if it can let those remaining dynasties see the power of Great Qin, but they will also be in danger for a while, worried that they will become the second White Tiger Dynasty, if there are people who are interested in provoking it in such a situation, they are afraid that they will form an alliance to attack the Peacock Dynasty! If these forces really gather all their forces together, their strength should not be underestimated. ”
"What does Shan Yu mean is that Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng will stir up one or two of this?"
Before Han Xin came, of course, he had a good understanding of the situation of the Peacock Dynasty, and he knew that in this short period of time, Meng Tian, Lu Jia and even Xiang Yu were all looking for clues about Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng, but they didn't get any news from them.
Of course, this is only in the vast territory of the Mauryan Empire, as for the other forces, because they are deeply wary of the Great Qin and the Xiongnu, they have not heard any major news from these forces.
"In my opinion, Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai are most likely hidden in the realm of unknown forces, and naturally it may be the White Tiger Dynasty that the general is going to attack this time!"
Obviously, during this time, Xiang Yu was indeed working hard to help Daqin find Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng, but there was really no gain, which couldn't help but make Xiang Yu suspect that Hu Hai had taken refuge in the surrounding forces.
Originally, Xiang Yu really suspected Seleu, but one is that Seleu's border was originally heavily guarded and could not get close to investigate, and the other is that Xiang Yu thought that Seleu's hostility towards Daqin was very obvious, and one Hu Hai went, and it would be good if people didn't kill him, and he basically couldn't bring any benefits to Seleuc.
"Hmph, if it's really like what Shan Yu said, my Great Qin will capture Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng sooner or later, even if those large and small forces join forces, they are just a few rabble, and it is not impossible to wipe them all out."
