Chapter 495: Yinggao's Determination (Second Update)
"Your Majesty, the straight road from Xianyang City to the land of Bashu, there are still a lot of projects that have not yet begun, and the people along the way are already a little stretched to invest in the construction of this straight road, if the construction of the straight road from Bashu to the barren land is started at this time, I am afraid that the pressure on the people will be greatly increased."
Chen Ping is a clever person, and when he received this job, he had already completed the investigation of all the people who could serve along the way, so at this time, he dared to ask questions to Yinggao, of course, this is also the result of Yinggao's requirements.
"I have already thought about this matter, and all the people near Bashu will be used to build a straight road from Bashu to the barren land, and the straight road from Xianyang to Bashu will be requisitioned and transferred to the people who serve near Hangu Pass.
"What does the king mean...... Once the people outside the Hangu Pass are requisitioned, they will build a straight road for a month, and they will not have to serve again next year? ”
"That's right, the time that the people spend on the road in order to serve, you naturally have to count it for the people."
"Chen Ping, thank you on behalf of the people of Great Qin!"
Chen Ping's sentence is obviously from the bottom of his heart, since Chen Ping arrived in the court of Great Qin, he found that Yinggao is a rare emperor who is justified no matter what he does.
Chen Ping has come from a commoner to today, and his heart naturally knows what the most ordinary people in Daqin need, which is not a slogan-style thing, but a real benefit, and Yinggao, as a son who grew up in Xianyang Palace since he was a child, actually knows this well, and his control over the psychology of the people of Daqin has completely reached a level of perfection, which is what Chen Ping admires the most.
After announcing this matter, Ying Gao didn't make any more decisions, he knew that now Han Xin and Xiang Yu's first step was quite good, but how their next step was was the key to affecting the entire battle situation.
Han Xin had already stated his and Xiang Yu's plan in the letter, if their plan could really be realized, it would be good, but if their plan could not be realized, it would be very difficult to do anything after that.
Yinggao doesn't know what kind of person the current leader of the Peacock Dynasty is Sheli Yijia, if it is a guy who knows that his dynasty has been invaded by foreign races, it is like a chicken blood, then even if he knows that there are only 30,000 people attacking the city, he will not be able to exclude an army of more than 100,000 people, once such a situation occurs, a bitter battle is inevitable.
Of course, Yinggao also knows that the only thing he can do now is to do all the logistical support work of this war, so as not to hold Han Xin and Xiang Yu back, as for the rest, even if he is in a hurry, he will not be able to help.
In fact, in his heart, he really wanted to bring a large number of people to expand the territory for Daqin, but Yinggao clearly knew that it would definitely not be this time.
This time, because the officials and people of Great Qin know very little about the Peacock Dynasty, even if he wants to attack it in person, all the officials in the court, even Han Xin and Xiao He, who were very supportive of him before, will not agree, because this is not like an anti-Qin force, such a war, even if Yinggao himself is confident, in the eyes of the officials and the people, I am afraid that he will not even be sure of thirty percent.
After dismissing all the people around him, Yinggao returned to his main hall, and he continued to say to the map on the wall: "One day, I must personally take the army of Great Qin and control this world in our hands, the master of this world will be black-haired and yellow-skinned people, even after more than two thousand years, we will no longer have to suffer any white eyes and sucks of the real alien race." ”
Whether the second half of the sentence in his mouth can be achieved or not, Yinggao himself doesn't know, it may just be a good wish in his heart, but for this wish, Yinggao is willing to do his best.
Of course, although Yinggao's thoughts in his heart are not much different from a flower, whether his ideas can succeed depends on whether he really kicks out this first kick, and more specifically, whether the three-way army that is now attacking the Peacock Dynasty can play the role they should play.
In addition to the officials and people of Daqin, of course, there are many people who are also silently paying attention to and inquiring about the results of this battle, including Ji Bu who stayed in the court of the Xiongnu king, Yu Ziqi and Yu Ji brothers and sisters, and of course, Hu Hai, who Yinggao has been looking for but has not been able to find.
At this time, Hu Hai and Qi Yi have adapted to such a life in the depths of the dense forest, and even in Hu Hai's opinion, such an unrestrained and free life within a certain range is much better than living in Xianyang Palace in the previous years.
"Childe, today the big man named Zhao Hu has returned, I don't know what kind of news he brought back?"
It was night, and there were almost only insects and birds chirping in this forest, and of course there were people under Zhao Cheng's command patrolling the periphery to prevent their place from being found by Liu Wei or Fusu, but at least Hu Hai and Qi Yi, who were resting in the wooden house behind, were still quite comfortable.
"Zhao Hu has been inquiring about the news that the Great Qin soldiers attacked the Peacock Dynasty, according to this report, the three roads sent by the Great Qin have been set off for at least a month or two, and it is very beneficial to us that the path to the Peacock Dynasty is not only a water route as we knew before, but there is also a land route, although the conditions are a little harder, but it is not very far from the Peacock Dynasty, and I have just received the news that the emperor is starting to build a straight road from Xianyang to Bashu, After that, a straight road from Bashu to the Peacock Dynasty will be built, so it is obvious that the Mauryan Dynasty is not the opponent of Great Qin, and our plan is not much simpler than before. ”
"If you rush to the Peacock Dynasty by land, once the soldiers of Great Qin recognize you and me on the way, you will be beaten by chickens and eggs!" At this time, Qi Yi still has the kind of caution that is unique to women.
"There are naturally risks in this, but now Daqin has no place for us, if you want to make achievements, you must go to a broader space, only the Peacock Dynasty!"
"In that case, wherever the son goes, Qi Yi will follow!" In this way, the two people who were holding their breath in their hearts hugged each other and fell asleep deeply.
In comparison, those who were studying the language of the Mauryan people at this time were not so lucky.
In order to complete the task assigned to them by Han Xin, they almost didn't sleep for three or four nights in a row, and it doesn't matter if you are a Confucian or a Legalist, whether the two of you were incompatible before, as long as one of them found out that they understood a sentence of the Peacock Dynasty, they would quickly inform the other companions of this sentence.
At first, the purpose of this was to let others tell them if they found out the meaning of a sentence, to put it bluntly, it was just an equivalent exchange of information, but after a few days, they had already forgotten about the so-called equivalent exchange. Instead, they were all immersed in the joy of their entire team overcoming the words of the Mauryan Dynasty one after another.
And after a few days of exploration, they basically know what they want to do at this time, that is, to figure out what some words commonly used in the war say, so that in case someone really goes to be a scout, the other party obviously says in front of you that there is an enemy attack, but as a scout, it is very embarrassing.
Another crucial method is that these scholars, after deliberation, decided to find a smarter, but less thoughtful person among these Mauryan people to act as their translator.
They gave Han Xin a suggestion that when it was time to send out scouts, they would definitely bring the translator they had chosen, and then one or two more readers, so that they could find out exactly what was going on in the Mauryan Empire.
For their well-thought-out suggestions, Han Xin still said that he would adopt them, but he still had that request, when the time came, he would send scouts, if he still couldn't understand what was going on in the Mauryan Dynasty according to their suggestions, what Han Xin said before would definitely still be implemented.
In fact, Han Xin's persecution of these scholars is nothing more than that he and Xiang Yu both know that if they don't know what is happening in other people's land, they can only use sharper attacks to attract more attention from the people in the Peacock Dynasty, but the disadvantages of this are also obvious, the troops occupying the two cities are scattered, too deep as the hinterland of the Peacock Dynasty, and the enemy's offensive route will produce more and greater changes, etc.
Soon, the day stipulated by Han Xin came, and Han Xin summoned these scholars to him without any ambiguity, and asked them with a serious look if they were ready, because no matter what, today was the day when Han Xin sent scouts.
Han Shin told them that there was no time for them to learn like embroidery in the war, and that if they could not find a way to understand the language of the Mauryan Empire, they would be utterly defeated.
But this time, unlike the last one, these scholars answered very simply, and at that time they elected two tall young men, claiming that the two of them would set off with a member of the Mauryan Empire to follow the scouts, and with these three people, they would almost certainly be able to grasp the content of the snooping.
And this time they promised Han Xin that no matter what, if they were given another month or so, they would definitely write how to translate the language of the Mauryan Dynasty on the bamboo slips for the soldiers of Daqin to learn, and at that time, they would definitely be able to decipher all the common words of the Mauryan Dynasty, and in this way, Han Xin could be regarded as making a military order.
So, after Han Xin and Xiang Yu discussed it, they all knew that this matter should not be able to wait any longer, so they believed their words that day, sent a small team of scouts, rode horses and wore the clothes of the Peacock Dynasty, and set off with the two scholars and the translator of the Peacock Dynasty who they had chosen.
When this team of men and horses set off, Han Xin and Xiang Yu had already given orders, mainly to find out what the Peacock Dynasty thought about the city occupied by them, and then there was another point that if the news of Sima Xin and Peng Yue was transmitted to the capital of the Peacock Dynasty, they would definitely know it as soon as possible, and when the time came, it would be really impossible to attack the capital of the Peacock Dynasty with the three-way army, and then take the Peacock Dynasty after a fierce battle. It must be better than selling Sima Xin and Peng Yue without knowing anything here.
The time that Han Xin and Xiang Yu gave to this team of scouts was half a month, and when the time of half a month came, if they still didn't have any news back, then Han Xin and Xiang Yu would have to lead the army to create a greater momentum, if one city can't work, then it can only be two, two can't do it, that's three.
One day after the scouts sent out by Han Xin and Xiang Yu set off, on the sea dozens of miles beyond the coastline of the Mauryan Empire, one after another warships were breaking the waves.
This team of men and horses belonged to Sima Xin, after such a long voyage, Sima Xin's patience had already been worn out I don't know how many times, and the warships and soldiers he brought out had also lost one-third.
"Tell me to go down, the sergeant on the ship must have a good rest, according to the chart that the king has personally reviewed, I will have arrived on the land of the Peacock Dynasty in less than a hundred miles, and no matter what happens, I will get off the ship and rest for a while, and then say anything else!"
Hearing Sima Xin's words, many of Daqin's sailors were already numb, because Sima Xin had already comforted them with almost the same words once before, but as a result, more than ten days had passed, and there were still no good signs, all in front of them was the vast sea, not even a small island had been encountered, and some people didn't even know whether the direction they were sailing in was right.
"General, the boat sent out before is back, looking at the look of the sergeant on the boat, there should be something discovered!"
