Chapter 511: Xiang Yu Arrives (Second Shift)
After being bold, Lu Jia used a trebuchet to dig out two passages on this stretching mountain, and more than doubled the previous passage that could only accommodate two cavalry and a carriage side by side, and set it up as if it was a closed door, looking like the Great Wall between Great Qin and the Xiongnu from a distance, but this naturally formed Great Wall looked much more majestic than the Great Wall between the Xiongnu and Great Qin.
Lu Jia's political sense of smell is still very keen, it turns out that he knows that Yinggao's attack on the Peacock Dynasty must be to make some communication between Daqin and the Peacock Dynasty, so such a narrow channel will definitely not work.
After learning that Chen Ping wanted to build a straight road from Bashu to this passage to the Peacock Dynasty, Lu Jia began to expand the gate from Daqin to the Peacock Dynasty by himself, and by the time Han Xin and Xiang Yu arrived at the gate, these four towering and spacious gates had been built, which were simply different from the two simple holes when they left before.
After the two of them entered the pass from here with their respective soldiers and horses, Lu Jia had already prepared, because Han Xin's letter had already arrived in the pass, and Lu Jia knew that they were going to the realm of Daqin to meet Yinggao, so they did not prepare anything like a camp, but prepared a lot of food.
After entering this area, Xiang Yu found a lot of clues, when he and Han Xin went to the territory of the Peacock Dynasty from here, it was just a large area of barrenness.
But now, behind Lu Jia there are not only those sergeants who were by his side before, but also many people he has never seen before, it seems that they should be the people of Daqin, and what they are doing at the moment, in Xiang Yu's opinion, should be building roads, and it is obvious that this is a path to the direction of Bashu in Daqin, not a path to the Xiongnu where he is.
That night, Lu Jia explained this problem to Xiang Yu, claiming that this was the first time that Yinggao received Han Xin's letter informing them that they had easily attacked a city in the Mauryan Dynasty, and then specially dispatched Chen Ping, an important minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, to build a straight road from here to Bashu. Moreover, Lu Jia also informed Xiang Yu that Yinggao had turned the part of this barren land that would later belong to Great Qin into a county of Great Qin, called the Western Regions.
After Xiang Yu heard the news, he almost stayed up all night, what Yinggao was doing, he really didn't think of it before, but not thinking about it doesn't mean that this thing shouldn't be done.
What kind of standard Xiang Yu of Daqin's straight road is really knows too well, and Xiang Yu probably knows how much manpower and material resources are needed to create a straight road in such a place, but it is such a thing that is basically impossible in his opinion, but Yinggao has already begun to do it.
And since a county has been set up here, then immigrating to this is a must, in other words, the people of Daqin have been developing this place for a long time, and what about their own Xiongnu? But he was still cowering in the court of the Huns.
Xiang Yu really knew that the Great Qin people were able to build straight roads, and the Huns under his command basically didn't know anything about this aspect, there was no straight road, how difficult it was to get here from the Huns Xiang Yu knew, thinking of this, he looked at the sky, and began to figure it out in his heart.
According to the original plan set by Han Xin and Xiang Yu, the two will be separated in this place, Han Xin went to Bashu and returned to Xianyang to report some of the situation of the Peacock Dynasty to Yinggao, but Xiang Yu should return to the Xiongnu court to rectify the Xiongnu tribes and soldiers, and then Yinggao and Xiang Yu will determine whether they will meet through letters to solve the matter of how to divide this barren land and the Peacock Dynasty, so that the day when Xiang Yu and Yinggao meet will basically wait until three or four months later.
Early the next morning, Xiang Yu found Han Xin and said an idea that surprised Han Xin.
According to Xiang Yu, if Han Xin agreed, he would take a team of guards and Han Xin back to Xianyang City to meet Yinggao, and let the cavalry he brought back return to the Xiongnu court first, and then return to the Xiongnu from Xianyang via Shangjun after meeting Yinggao.
As for the reason for this, according to Xiang Yu, since Daqin has built a straight road and is about to complete it, they will definitely save a lot of time when they return to Xianyang from the straight road, so he can save a lot of time by following Han Xin back, and after Ying Gao settles down how to divide this barren land and the land of the Peacock Empire, he can also have an overall arrangement when he returns to the Xiongnu.
Although Han Xin felt from Xiang Yu's eyes that this matter was probably not so simple, but he didn't ask anything in detail at this time, he knew that Xiang Yu must have something, but this matter must not be harmful to Daqin, because Xiang Yu followed him to Xianyang, the capital of Daqin, first of all, he put himself in a dangerous place, once Yinggao turned his face in Xianyang City and didn't recognize people, then even if Xiang Yu had great ability, it would be useless.
In this way, just after noon that day, after Xiang Yu handed over his team to a deputy general, he took his one hundred and eighty personal guards to follow Han Xin in the direction of Bashu.
On the way to Bashu, Xiang Yu has been carefully observing the surrounding situation, he found that the original Han Xin and Lu Jia called the gathering point of the place has gradually evolved into a trend of villages, many people are not far from the water source and the straight road to build houses, although the climate is very bad, but Xiang Yu found that those personal faces are very excited, he really can't understand, to such a harsh environment to settle in such a place of joy what, At the same time, I also have a lot of curiosity and admiration for Yinggao's methods.
And not only that, on the same way back as they went, there were many Daqin people who didn't know where they had migrated from dragged their families inside, obviously they had just accepted the immigrants and had not yet arrived at the place.
"I wonder if the general knows, why these people of Great Qin are not only not disappointed to settle in such a place, but are very excited?"
Finally, after witnessing one team after another like this, Xiang Yu couldn't help but open his mouth and ask Han Xin.
For such a situation, Han Xin naturally had already communicated with Lu Jia when he first came in, so Han Xin still knew quite much about this immigration.
"The king's immigration, not as the first emperor did to immigrate, but to give immigrants exemption from forced labor, distribution of grain, fields, houses, and even directly give military merit titles when joining the army in the future, choose the people who are willing to emigrate, and this time because the Western Regions is a bitter cold land, the king specially ordered my Great Qin's left minister Xiao He to choose immigration in the land of Yan Zhao, the land of Yan Zhao is very cold, so these immigrants can be regarded as adaptable here."
After listening to Han Xin's words, Xiang Yu nodded again and again, and at the same time, he also knew that the distance he had left Ying Gao behind was too far, and it was impossible to lead the Huns to catch up with the development of Great Qin.
At this time, Yinggao had just received the good news sent back by Han Xin in advance, and learned that Han Xin, Xiang Yu and others really lived up to expectations, and let the monarch of the Peacock Dynasty fall into their hands within two or three months after taking Hua's City.
What surprised Yinggao even more was that Xu Fu was indeed hidden in the territory of the Peacock Dynasty, and he had already been escorted back by Han Xin along with the relics of the Emperor.
At this point, Yinggao's desired results of attacking the Mauryan Dynasty this time have basically been achieved, although two-thirds of the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty has not been attacked by them, but it is already similar to the Borderlands.
He knew that at most half a month after he received this letter, Han Xin, who had left Xianyang City for more than a year, was about to return, and at this time, the immigration of the land of Yan Zhao and the construction of the straight road were basically over, so Ying Gao wanted to announce these major events together in the court.
But while he was waiting for Han Xin, he also waited for another piece of news that surprised him very much.
"What? Xiang Yu dared to follow Han Xin to my Xianyang City? ”
When Han Xin arrived in one day, he sent an outpost to Xianyang City to meet Yinggao first, in fact, there was no need for this step, but in the previous letter, Han Xin did not tell Yinggao that Xiang Yu was also going to come with him.
Such a big matter, if you don't tell Yinggao in advance, it is very likely that you will snub this king who also made great contributions in the battle to capture the Mauryan Dynasty. And Han Xin still recognizes Xiang Yu's talent very much, so for Xiang Yu to come to Xianyang City, at least he is still very welcome.
Yinggao was very shocked by this news, but in addition to being shocked, he was quite able to accept this matter, after all, he had planned to go to Shangjun to meet Xiang Yu, and now in this way, Shangjun obviously doesn't have to go anymore, which is undoubtedly a good thing for Yinggao, but for the reason for Xiang Yu's arrival, Yinggao still has some guesses of his own in his heart, and there are some ideas, he also wants to wait until Xiang Yu arrives to verify it.
A day later, when Xiang Yu and Han Xin arrived outside the gate of Xianyang City, a team of people and horses had been waiting for a long time, led by a person wearing a black big coat and riding a black war horse, very solemn, it was the emperor of Great Qin.
Seeing Xiang Yu and Han Xin riding horses together, Yinggao saluted Xiang Yu from afar, which was enough to see that he attached great importance to this Xiongnu Shan Yu, and the important ministers of Daqin who Yinggao was carrying behind him were also amazed when they saw this majestic man.
Since Xiang Yu followed Xiang Liang against Qin, he has become a household name in Great Qin, but many officials in the Great Qin Dynasty really don't know what this character looks like.
After giving gifts to each other, Xiang Yu and Han Xin and others were let into the Xianyang Palace by Yinggao, here, they had already prepared bathing and changing clothes, and then there was a dinner party in the Xianyang Palace dedicated to celebrating the achievement, although there were not many people coming, but under Han Xin's introduction, Xiang Yu knew that these were basically Yinggao's right-hand men, and it was enough to see that Yinggao still had great respect for Xiang Yu.
captured the capital of the Peacock Dynasty and captured the monarch of the Peacock Dynasty Relic Loss, which is an immortal achievement for the generals of Daqin, for this matter, Yinggao also gave Han Xin enough praise, after all, because of the attack on the Peacock Dynasty, his sister has also been a widow for more than a year, this matter is still very distressing.
But above the banquet, there was really nothing else except for the staggering, so Xiang Yu didn't drink much more, he kept a very clear head, because he knew what he was doing in such a hurry this time, for him, after this banquet was over, it was the main topic.
Sure enough, after the banquet, before Xiang Yu went to find Yinggao by himself, Yinggao directly invited Xiang Yu to a large hall in Xianyang Palace, which was the one where he often studied some things on weekdays.
As soon as Xiang Yu entered the main hall, he saw that Yinggao was already waiting in his seat, and behind Yinggao was a row of guards who were fully armed and even wearing masks.
But meeting Xiang Yu is no better than others, these are arranged by Tian Yan to help Yinggao, she is very sure that even if she is as capable as herself, she can't stick to a stick of incense under the joint efforts of these ten people, even if Xiang Yu is several times stronger than her, this is a guard selected by her own hands is enough.
After the salute, as soon as Xiang Yu wanted to speak, his eyes were attracted by a huge map placed on the ground in the center, because this map not only contains Daqin, Xiongnu, Donghu, Yueshi, but also a large piece of barren land, and even part of the Peacock Dynasty.
Obviously, this is what Han Xin brought to Yinggao in the message he sent back, and how much Yinggao's ambition is, Xiang Yu can see from this map, because in the periphery of the Peacock Dynasty, there are still large blank spaces, since Yinggao keeps them, he will definitely want to draw them in the future.
