Chapter 347: Meng Tian's Secret Order (Second Update)
The Xiongnu happened in the Xiongnu, and Yinggao didn't know, including Meng Tian, who stared at the Xiongnu every day.
But at the beginning of spring every year, it must be the best time for Meng Tian's vigilance, the Huns were aggrieved for a winter, and finally survived the beginning of spring, the grass also grew, the war horses were also energetic, and the sheep were fattened again, of course, they could start to ride their horses and carry knives and start to find a village or something to plunder a little.
And this is also the situation that Meng Tian is most afraid of, although there are not many remaining villages at the foot of the Great Wall, but every time it is attacked by the Xiongnu, at least dozens of the people of Daqin will die under the sword of the Xiongnu, and the young women in the village will almost be plundered by the Xiongnu, and this is obviously not a question of how many people Daqin has lost, but a problem of the face of the entire Daqin.
Meng Tian knew that the current emperor of Daqin was really a person who valued Daqin's face more than anything else, so he was sure in his heart that this year's Kaichun'er would definitely brighten his eyes and not give the Huns any opportunity to take advantage of.
But seeing that spring has been in place for a long time, the Xiongnu are much calmer than at this time of year, and the scouts sent by Meng Tian only said that most of the main tribes of the Xiongnu this year have slowly moved to the territory of Donghu that they have just taken down, and it means that the focus will be on living in the territory of Donghu before.
This can't help but make Meng Tian's heart very puzzled, he has dealt with the Xiongnu for many years, not only does he know the Xiongnu very well, that is, what is the situation between Donghu and Yue, Meng Tian is also quite clear in his heart.
Because the territory of Donghu is closer to the north than that of the Xiongnu, the pasture is far inferior to the territory of the Xiongnu itself, and then in winter, the climate of the Xiongnu is also better than the climate above the territory of Donghu before, I don't know how much.
It is precisely for this reason that the first emperor built the Great Wall before the headquarters of the resistance to the Xiongnu was set up in Shangjun, for no other reason, because in the territory of the Xiongnu, the place close to Shangjun is their gathering place, and other places are because of the harsh climate and lack of food, so that the Xiongnu tribes are unwilling to go to that place.
After many inquiries, Meng Tian still didn't know what was going on inside the Xiongnu, but he had a faint feeling in his heart that the changes in the Xiongnu this year should not be so simple, but where it was not simple, he couldn't know it for a while.
The unusual feeling made Meng Tian intensify his urging to inquire about the secret team members who were lurking in the land of the Xiongnu that Yinggao had equipped him before, and at the same time gritted his teeth and wrote a letter to Yinggao, begging Yinggao to equip him with the weapons and equipment that he had promised him before.
This time, Meng Tian's letter did not sink into the sea as before, but waited for Yinggao's personal reply.
Originally, Meng Tian thought that Yinggao had finally agreed to equip him with those armors and weapons, but when he finished reading Yinggao's letter to him word by word, Meng Tian's mouth was so shocked that he could almost put a duck egg in his mouth.
He never thought that when he didn't know anything, the Huns under his nose would play such a game for himself, which was absolutely impossible in his previous cognition of the Huns, if you want to say that the Huns attacked some villages in Daqin, it is okay, if you dare to directly gather almost all of their troops and want to enter the territory of Daqin, and even want to directly destroy Daqin, this is absolutely beyond Meng Tian's cognition.
Another thing is, I haven't even inquired about such a big matter, and the king already knows about it, and he has been preparing for several months?
This couldn't help but make Meng Tian feel surprised and at the same time, his face was also feverish, and he said that this is against the Huns, didn't he say that I am the main force, when did so many things keep me in the dark?
After reading Yinggao's letter, Meng Tian couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, he knew that if Yinggao didn't tell him about it, I was afraid that by the time he knew about it, the battle in the Korean hometown might be over, and even if there was any unfavorable situation over there, it would be too late for him to rush over here.
But now, since Yinggao did not blame himself for not knowing anything about this matter, it proves that in Yinggao's heart, it is very normal that he does not know about this matter.
Thinking of the task given to him by Yinggao in that letter, Meng Tian couldn't help but give his king a thumbs up in his heart, Yinggao's talent really impressed Meng Tian, although every move and style are all swords and swords, but Meng Tian believes that as long as he successfully completes Yinggao's task, then this time, the Huns are afraid that they will be unlucky.
After receiving this task, Meng Tian knew that in Yinggao's heart, he was definitely a member of the very important role in this battle, because he knew how many troops the Xiongnu could invest in this battle that they had been preparing for almost several years, and he also knew how many men and horses Daqin could take out in addition to his own soldiers and horses in Shangjun, which was obviously at a disadvantage compared to the Xiongnu.
So Meng Tian knew that it was likely that he was the winner or loser of this battle that seemed to him without warning, but the premise was that he couldn't make any cross-border moves, the more he was staring at himself at this time, the more closely the Xiongnu stared at him, once he had any abnormal actions that made the Xiongnu directly cancel this action, then the king must not directly let himself change from being in charge of the Great Wall to building the Great Wall?
After sending the last letter to Meng Tian, Yinggao did all he could do for the fight. He knew that as an emperor, he had been able to participate in this war to the greatest extent, although many of the key changes were all thought up by Han Xin, but it was he who first discovered the signs of this matter and formulated the general direction of fighting with the Huns.
Yinggao also knew that as the current emperor of Great Qin, he could no longer follow his troops to the expedition as he did when he was the prince, because obviously the so-called 200,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu would not really let the Great Qin die, even if Mao Dun was a genius of the Xiongnu, but he didn't know what the other side of the Great Wall was like, and he didn't know that the layers of guards and strong walls of Xianyang City were not his armor that could be broken in Yinggao's opinion.
So under such pressure, he can only wait for news in Daqin's Xianyang Palace, if he really goes, and is known by Mao Dun or Xiang Yu, the Huns would have been able to inflict 50,000 casualties on the Qin soldiers, because they found out that the emperor had personally conquered, it was estimated that he would have to inflict seventy or eighty thousand casualties on the soldiers of Daqin, so Yinggao, who was not even very good at horseback riding, would naturally not go to the battlefield with a dead face......
The rest of the thing is to wait patiently, waiting for himself and Mao Dun, or if Xiang Yu can have the opportunity to meet for the first time, just like with Liu Bang before, although Yinggao knows that he and they will never be people on the same front, but if they have calculated with each other for several years, but they have never even met each other, it is really a big pity for Yinggao, a traverser.
Even sometimes Yinggao is thinking in his heart that with the ability of Xiang Yu that he is looking forward to in his heart, he should leave a way back for himself in the cooperation with the Huns, after all, with Xiang Yu's current situation, cooperation with the Huns is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger.
But Ying Gao has never seen Xiang Yu after all, let alone his father Fan Zeng, who is Zhang Liang, and he just has such a relationship in Chen County, as for what they are planning, Ying Gao does not know, he only knows that once he has the opportunity, Han Xin will catch them all for himself and send them back.
When Han Xin left for the last time, Yinggao had already told him a thousand times, in addition to Xiang Yu and Mao Dun, the most important person was Zhang Liang beside Xiang Yu, although Yinggao didn't know if Zhang Liang would always follow Xiang Yu, but there was no doubt that if he couldn't catch it this time, he would still be like a ghost, I don't know where to come out, and then give Yinggao a fatal blow.
Inside the Great Wall of Korea, Han Xin, Zhang Han and others are still trying their best to make a place with hundreds of thousands of troops ambushed in the mountains look normal, and just outside the Great Wall, the Huns are also secretly gathering a large number of cavalry near the Korean hometown in the name of receiving the land of Donghu, and the people on both sides are in full swing, but the three waves of people involved in it have different ideas in their hearts.
Xiang Yu stayed in the royal court of the Xiongnu for two days, and in these two days, he spent almost all of his time discussing with Mao Dun the issue of marching after entering the territory of Daqin, and the two seemed to have discussed this issue very carefully, but they both knew in their hearts that the content discussed in the past two days would not really appear on the battlefield, because from the moment the gate of Daqin was broken by them, the other party was no longer like this in their eyes.
Finally, all kinds of matters were discussed, and according to the agreement between the two, Xiang Yu would return to his station once, because he still had to bring a few generals under his command.
"I don't know how the nearly 10,000 horses under the general's command will settle down in this attack on Daqin?"
On the banquet that Mao Dun prepared for Xiang Yu to see him off, Mao Dun seemed to ask such a sentence inadvertently, but in his low eyes, there was a trace of essence.
It's finally here......
Obviously, Xiang Yu had long known that Mao Dun would ask this sentence, because it was obvious that if Xiang Yu took his 10,000 troops to go out with the Huns, in case Xiang Yu commanded his 10,000 horses to run away like wild horses in the territory of Daqin, leaving the cavalry of the brigade to the Huns to resist, Mao Dun's situation would not be very good.
"If the cavalry under the command of Shan Yu is not enough, the 10,000 horses under my command can go to Daqin with Shan Yu's cavalry, if Shan Yu does not need it, these troops are naturally already waiting here for our return, all of this depends on Shan Yu's meaning."
Xiang Yu's words were right, so that Mao Dun didn't find any flaws at all, if Xiang Yu insisted that these horses would go with him on the expedition, it would be needless to say that there was a problem, but if Xiang Yu directly wanted to leave these 10,000 horses behind, Mao Dun would wonder if Xiang Yu wanted to do something in the rear of his Huns, but these two situations did not appear, Xiang Yu just said these two possibilities, only to throw this problem to Mao Dun.
Listening to Xiang Yu's words, Mao Dun's pupils contracted slightly, obviously, this answer was a little unexpected to him, but now that Xiang Yu has given him the decision, in his opinion, at least Xiang Yu has no intention of breaking with him now, so Mao Dun breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have more than 200,000 Hun cavalry, I think it is enough, there is no shortage of 10,000 horses under the general, in order to protect the 10,000 horses under the general's command, according to this opinion, the general will only place it in the current territory, if I wait for the war in the territory of Daqin, it will not be too late to transfer it to Daqin."
Mao Dun's words, at first glance, it sounded that there was no problem at all, and he was completely thinking about Xiang Yu.
After Xiang Yu listened, he poured a bowl of Xiongnu liquor in front of him, picked it up and signaled to Mao Dun, and then drank it directly, obviously expressing his gratitude to Mao Dun.
After the two of them were half drunk, Xiang Yu left the royal court of the Huns accompanied by Long Ji, according to the observation of the weather on the grassland by the people under the command of Mao Dun plus some divination and other things, Mao Dun set the day of the army on a day more than 40 days later, he and Xiang Yu agreed, Xiang Yu arrived at the place where he gathered soldiers and horses five days early, and after a little training, he set off directly to the place where Xiang Yu's scouts sent back to attack Daqin.
After returning to their station, Xiang Yu informed Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang of the situation, and when the two heard that the result of Xiang Yu and Mao Dun's discussion was to leave their more than 10,000 people in the station at this time, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, obviously, what they discussed with Xiang Yu before was the resettlement of these 10,000 people, and in the hearts of the two, these 10,000 people must play a pivotal role.
