Chapter 141: The Idea of Dividing the Troops (Asking for Recommendation Votes, Collecting)
"Less than 100,000 can cook the Huns......"
This result can be said to be exactly what Yinggao thinks in his heart, and Xiao He will definitely not be untargeted.
Ying Gao believed that although he didn't reveal anything to Xiao He in advance, with his mind, he should have vaguely guessed a rough idea, otherwise he would have nothing to ask how many soldiers and horses were used to resist the Huns, wouldn't it be idle.
"Childe, are you here...... Did you notice that there were too many soldiers and horses in the camp in the upper county and wanted to transfer them elsewhere? ”
Seeing Yinggao touching his chin and pondering there, Xiao He couldn't help it for a while, so he asked his thoughts at that time.
After Yinggao heard this, he just looked at Xiao He, and then fell into a new round of contemplation, which made Xiao He sit opposite Yinggao for a while, and said in his heart If you want to meditate by yourself, what are you doing with me.
After a long time, Yinggao finally sighed and opened his mouth again.
"Sir, I think that this Shangjun battalion can keep the Huns out of the Great Wall, what is it relying on? Is it the Great Wall that stretches for thousands of miles, the army of 300,000, or the name of Meng Tian that makes the Xiongnu fearful? ”
This question, basically even if Yinggao admitted what Xiao He asked before, he did not deliberately hang Xiao He, but was thinking about what it was that made the Xiongnu, who had coveted the land of China to the point of madness, be able to stay away from the Great Wall honestly.
Xiao He knew that Yinggao must have wanted to make a move on this Shangjun this time, but it was easy to make a move, but it was too difficult to do.
There is only one reason why Emperor Shi has thrown a general like Meng Tian in Shangjun, where birds don't, and why he has thrown an army of 300,000 here, that is, he attaches too much importance to the Xiongnu.
And although you Yinggao is the prince, but there is still 108,000 miles away from the emperor, you can put forward your own opinions, but the first emperor of the people is happy to listen to it, and if he is not happy, there is nothing wrong with you if people don't mess with you.
Indeed, the reason why Ying Gao had to come to the camp in Shangjun this time was not that he was in a hurry to take Daqin's group army into his own hands, but that he found that this 300,000 army might be a bit of a waste in this place, especially when other places definitely needed these 300,000 troops even more.
Why did Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rely on a large group of peasant uncles to fight to Hangu Pass, it was not because the combat effectiveness of these peasants was much stronger than the regular army of Great Qin, but because they fought all the way, and there was no regular army of Great Qin around the counties.
And Yinggao came here this time to take a solid step to solve the problem of emptiness within Daqin.
But everything is difficult at the beginning, Yinggao knows, if he wants to achieve this, the first thing to determine is whether these 300,000 people fight against the Huns or not, if the 300,000 people are held back by the Huns, then you will dig your own grave if you transfer another 100,200,000.
Now even if you are sure that you really don't need these 300,000 horses to fight the Huns, you still have to figure out whether the Huns know that you have 300,000 people, so they don't dare to come, or whether people are afraid of only Meng Tian.
And Meng Tian will not tell you this, you can only experience it yourself through this short one-day investigation, only in this way, can you gain the upper hand in the negotiation with Meng Tian.
Yinggao's routine, Xiao He has a general understanding at this moment, he just wants to pass Meng Tian's level first, otherwise even if you go to the first emperor with red lips and white teeth, in the end, you will not be able to resist the Huns if Meng Tian is transferred away, and you will be in vain.
"What the Huns are afraid of is not this cold Great Wall, if there is no army of tigers and wolves, only a section of the Great Wall is naturally in vain, but if there is no Meng Tian here, even if there are millions of men and horses, it may not be able to become a division of the Huns."
Xiao He's answer coincided with what Yinggao thought in his heart, long before he came, he heard rumors in Xianyang City that the reason why the Xiongnu did not dare to violate the border in recent years was because they were afraid of Meng Tian.
Note that it is not that he was scared by Daqin, but that he was scared by Meng Tian, and of course Yinggao can comprehend the Tao in this.
"In that case, I'll come to the right place this time, if I can't say that Meng Tian is moved this time, I won't leave!"
"This ......"
Xiao He was also quite helpless that Ying Gao was already a person in the position of the prince and could still do such a thing, but at the same time, he also knew that Ying Gao could say and do, so the next thing must be enough to bear it.
As for why Yinggao had to separate the 300,000 troops who had been stationed together for many years, neither of them mentioned it, obviously they had already tacitly agreed to it.
The next day, when Meng Tian thought that Yinggao would let him take him to see Chidao or something, Yinggao only ordered to prepare some wine and food, and then only left Meng Tian alone in his big tent, and even Xiao He was sent out.
Meng Tian is also a person who has lived for more than 50 years, and when he looks at Yinggao's posture, coupled with his expression that is very different from yesterday, he knows that the details of this guy's coming here can only be revealed today.
"Childe, Tian is a general in the army this time, I'm afraid this drinking is not in accordance with the rules!"
As soon as he sat down, Meng Tian saw that the wine bottle in front of him was already full of a glass of wine, and hurriedly excused himself from Yinggao.
Yinggao knew that his resignation was a drink of resignation on the surface, but in fact, it was to show Yinggao that he was a very well-behaved person, and if there was something overstepping, I would not do it!
"It's okay, it's okay, the general can do it himself."
Meng Tian didn't drink, Yinggao didn't force it, and then he drank a few glasses, during which he didn't say anything except for asking about the fight against the Huns.
Finally, almost an hour passed, Meng Tian looked at Yinggao, whose face was already a little ruddy, and finally couldn't help asking: "Childe came to Shangjun this time, I'm afraid it's not just to familiarize myself with the place where I went to the county, since Gongzi is already my Great Qin Prince, what do you have to say, but it doesn't matter." ”
"The general thinks that I and Brother Fusu, who is more suitable to be the prince of this Great Qin?"
Very suddenly, after Meng Tian asked this sentence, Ying Gao actually came to such a sentence, and after asking, he looked at Meng Tian with blazing eyes, just to see how he answered.
Meng Tian said in his heart that this is all at this time, you have a fart to ask this, but it is really not his style to avoid answering and not answering, so after thinking about it for a while, Meng Tian opened his mouth.
