Chapter 534: The Veteran Goes Out (First Update)
As for Daqin's Shang County, it is not that there is no one in Xianyang City who can be sent, for example, Zhang Han, who is more than enough to guard Shang County.
Through Meng Yi, Ying Gao can already see Meng Tian's attitude, because Ying Gao knows that the family letters between the two brothers must be much more than his own edicts, and Meng Tian's thoughts and trends can be completely controlled through Meng Yi.
After negotiating with Meng Yi, Ying Gao did not delay a little, and directly gave an order, ordering Meng Tian to take away 50,000 garrisons in the Shangjun military camp, and hand over the remaining people to Zhang Han, who was about to replace Meng Tian later.
When he received Yinggao's order, Meng Tian had actually received an urgent report from his brother Meng Yi, and Meng Yi told Meng Tian that the Peacock Dynasty was most likely inserted by other forces that came out of nowhere when it was not fully occupied.
After knowing these inside information, Meng Tian almost didn't hesitate to order the most elite 50,000 horses to set off, he hated that he had to go back to Xianyang, but went directly to the Peacock Dynasty to fight, but without Yinggao's order, I don't know what the situation is over there, Meng Tian can only temporarily press the urgency in his heart and hurriedly rush back to Xianyang City.
After arriving in Xianyang City, Meng Tian couldn't take any rest, so he hurriedly went to his mansion, took off his armor, changed into a court dress that he hadn't worn once in eight hundred years, and hurried to Xianyang Palace.
Originally, according to Yinggao's prediction, Meng Tian would have to return to Xianyang City in two days, after all, the camp in Shangjun was not a temporary foothold, and Meng Tian had been in charge of the overall situation there for some years, so he must have to make good arrangements to come back, but he didn't want to arrive so soon.
"Your Majesty, you are so eager to summon me back, I wonder if there is any war?"
Of course, Ying Gao knew that Meng Tian must have probably known about the Peacock Dynasty from Meng Yi's mouth, so he didn't hide anything from him, but directly informed Meng Tian of the current situation of the Peacock Dynasty.
"What does the king mean that at this time, the Peacock Dynasty already has more than 100,000 horses? If this is the case, the straight road to the left and right of the Western Regions has also been built, and I can set off tomorrow with 50,000 Shangjun cavalry, and when I reach the Peacock Dynasty, I will unite those 100,000 horses to carry out a blow against those foreign races who are beyond their own strength, and I will definitely drive them out of the territory of the Peacock Dynasty! ”
Meng Tian's remarks were actually in Yinggao's heart for a long time, and calling Meng Tian over was also what Yinggao and Han Xin came up with, just waiting for the progress in Xianyang City was really not Yinggao's style, although he knew that if he and Xiang Yu joined forces, a mere Seleucid dynasty would definitely be a problem.
But before that, it would not be a good idea to let the Seleuc Dynasty be too arrogant in his land in the Mauryan Empire, so Meng Tian really wanted to set off as soon as he said.
"If the general really wants to come like this, then he will have to bother the general, this is a long way, and the Mauryan Dynasty is a vast land, so this time the general can only fight with cavalry, except for the 50,000 cavalry that the general brought from Shangjun, I will match you with 50,000 cavalry, which is almost all the cavalry of Daqin, and I hope that the general can lead Peng Yue and Sima Xin to exert the power of my Daqin cavalry in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty."
When Meng Tian heard this, his eyes were brighter than before, Yinggao not only directly agreed to his suggestion, but also added 50,000 cavalry to himself, with 100,000 cavalry Meng Tian, who would not frown in the face of 200,000 enemies.
In the past few years, because Xiang Yu has become the Shan Yu of the Xiongnu, the relationship between the Xiongnu and Daqin has been greatly eased compared to before, but it has also caused Meng Tian to have no battles to fight every day in Shangjun, and in the past few years, in his opinion as the number one general of the Great Qin platoon, it has all been wasted.
"Don't worry, the Peacock Dynasty is now in my Great Qin's bag, naturally there will be no more branches, no matter what dynasty the other party is, I will let it become a place under the rule of the king!"
To be a general, what you need is confidence like Xiang Mengtian, without such confidence, no matter how much you read military books and war strategies, you will not be a truly qualified general.
In Meng Tian's body, it is this kind of confidence that is reflected at this time, and in Xiang Yu's body, in Han Xin's body, and even at this time, Long Ji, Peng Yue and the other three people who are preparing some small actions that Yinggao doesn't know on the territory of the Peacock Dynasty, all have such confidence, but the way of expression is different, the strength is different, otherwise, they will not enter Yinggao's eyes.
Ying Gao told Meng Tian again, especially that he was about to cross the narrow land in the Western Regions, where the climate was different from other places after all, in case Meng Tian set off from Xianyang City with high spirits, but the soldiers under the command of the Peacock Dynasty lost a lot, this thing is not beautiful.
"Your Majesty, if the Mauryan Empire and some of its surrounding dynasties are all defeated, will you still share the land of the Mauryan Empire with the Huns?"
Obviously, Meng Tian still has some thoughts in his heart about his old opponent Xiongnu, whether it is emotionally or from something else, Meng Tian doesn't want to watch the Xiongnu grow up little by little under the nose of Daqin, after all, how many killings the Huns have caused to the people of Daqin before, Meng Tian is still vivid.
"For the Huns, I have not always watched it grow big under my nose, my Great Qin wants to sweep the world, relying on the current strength is far from enough, the world is big, not you and I can imagine, the Huns and Great Qin attacked the Peacock Dynasty together, if they encounter a foreign race on the territory of the Peacock Empire, the Huns will naturally rush to kill the front, the general and cooperate with the Huns first, if it is really impossible to do anything, I will naturally not be soft."
Yinggao's meaning is already very clear, although there are still some obscurities, but it also makes Meng Tian a little relieved, after all, Yinggao does not really regard the Huns as his friends.
The next day, Meng Tian set off with 50,000 soldiers under his command, Yinggao and a group of officials and generals in Xianyang City sent him out of the city gate.
But except for Ying Gao and Han Xin, no one else knows what Meng Tian was going to do when he was transferred from Shangjun to the Peacock Dynasty, the Xiongnu and Daqin divided the Peacock Dynasty, and the relationship is no longer what it used to be, so it is really useless to garrison troops in Shangjun, and almost all the officials of Daqin can understand this, but they all think that Meng Tian's increase in troops to the Peacock Dynasty is just to provide more troops for the Peacock Dynasty so that Daqin can occupy it well. And I didn't expect that at this time, there was already a war with other alien races on the territory of the Mauryan Empire, they had been in the Central Plains for too long, and in their eyes, there were only the Xiongnu, Nanyue, or Yelang, and nothing else.
Meng Tian's reinforcements can play a very strong stabilizing role for the situation of the Mauryan Empire, and for Yinggao, it is a timely buffer, after all, what Yinggao wanted before was not a reckless Great Qin, but a Great Qin who first developed internal affairs to a certain extent, and then supported the conquest.
In the past few years, Yinggao has been silent about the development of Daqin's internal affairs, from the transformation of business status to the change of the conscription system, to the prevalence of lectures, to the implementation of the imperial examination and the focus on agriculture, although these things do not seem to have changed much in Daqin, but they have made the lives of the people of Daqin have a deep-rooted change, and these things will be more obvious with the change of time.
The reason why he didn't let the people of the Mauryan Dynasty and the people of Great Qin mix prematurely is that there is a part of the reason for the language barrier, but more because the internal affairs of Great Qin have not developed to the extent that he is satisfied.
The effect he wants is that when Daqin and the people meet the people of the Peacock Dynasty, they tell each other about their previous lives, and then the people of the Peacock Dynasty are extremely happy that the Peacock Dynasty was attacked by the Great Qin, and they are very happy that the policies of the Great Qin will also be implemented on the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty.
It's not far from that time now, but Yinggao doesn't want to rush it, he wants to make the small number of people of the Peacock Dynasty who went to the Western Regions have a yearning for Daqin, and then pass this yearning back to the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, in this case, it is the time when Daqin and the Peacock Dynasty can merge.
Of course, before the end of the new war on the Mauryan Empire, all this can only be Yinggao's fantasy, and another reason why he sent Meng Tian and 100,000 troops is to give the people of the Mauryan Dynasty a signal that once their kingdom is taken by Great Qin, no other country will be allowed to touch it.
The news of Meng Tian's army was spreading at a very fast speed, and when Meng Tian had not yet left the Western Regions, it had already been known to Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu was able to know about this matter so early, and it was naturally the result of the changes in Shangjun that were transmitted to his ears in time.
"Great Qin actually directly sent a fierce general like Meng Tian to the Peacock Empire, but he didn't let my Xiongnu send troops......"
On this day, Xiang Yu, who was personally supervising the construction of the straight road in the Western Regions and preparing for the immigration of some tribes, received the news and was discussing with Ji Bu, who accompanied him.
"Young General, Daqin wouldn't have had the intention of swallowing the Peacock Dynasty alone, right?" Ji Bu was also very puzzled by Daqin's abnormal behavior, and after he tried to guess a sentence, he looked at Xiang Yu blankly.
"That's not going to happen, but even if my Huns don't send troops, the final result of this matter may not be beneficial to my Huns, Meng Tian's ability you and I know, I don't think he brought 100,000 troops to supplement the army of the Mauryan Dynasty after that Seleucid general can resist him, if I expect it to be good, after this battle, the people on the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty will only know the Great Qin and not the Huns, and when the various tribes of my Huns immigrate to the land that belongs to me, The people of the Peacock Empire in that land will be far inferior to Great Qin. ”
"Why don't I lead 50,000 cavalry and rush to the Peacock Dynasty immediately, and defeat the Seleucid Dynasty with that Meng Tian, and also let my Xiongnu's prestige be passed on on the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty?"
After listening to Xiang Yu's words, Ji Bu had the idea of going to the Peacock Dynasty at that time, for Meng Tian, although the Huns also had a little awe of him, but Ji Bu and Long He had a lot of unconvinced feelings, because they had never fought Meng Tian head-on, and they didn't think that Meng Tian was invincible, after all, the invincible Huns he had before, the generals were just some Hun tribal leaders who didn't know the art of war.
"No need, in addition to having some advantages in cavalry, my Huns are very different from Daqin in terms of internal affairs and population, so my Huns' task at this time is to silently follow behind Daqin and slowly improve our strength, after this contact with the Great Qin Emperor, I found that this person's ambition is far more than a Peacock Dynasty, and the opportunity of my Peacock Dynasty is still in the future, not now."
Xiang Yu said this obviously because he didn't want to participate in Meng Tian's dispatch this time, after all, there was already Long Ji and the 50,000 Hun cavalry led by him in the Peacock Dynasty, and Ying Gao did not inform Xiang Yu in advance of sending Meng Tian this time.
In the process of Meng Tian hurrying from the Western Regions to the Peacock Dynasty, what he didn't know was that Peng Yue and the other three, who had already received the order to defend Yinggao, had not honestly guarded the perimeter of Hua's City, but had already taken silent action.
After receiving the order of Antiochus III, the Seleucid generals reorganized their troops one by one and went to attack the city further in the direction of Fahrenheit.
At first, they were quite cautious, but after attacking several cities one after another, they found that those alien soldiers and horses had been cowering near Fahrenheit City, and there was no other meaning, which made them feel relieved, and their mentality was quite relaxed, and even in their hearts, what they thought was that once they broke through one city after another, and finally hit the place close to Fahrenheit City, maybe they would directly scare away those alien races occupying Fahrenheit City.
