Chapter 345: Han Shin's Request (Second Update)
But with the minds of the two of them, they really wouldn't let Xiang Yu become the meat on the chopping board of Mao Dun and Yinggao like this, but it was a little more difficult.
In the heavy snow on the Xiongnu grassland, this war that could almost faintly see the smoke of gunpowder was almost faintly visible because Xiang Yu learned about his situation in front of his father in Jiangdong, and almost a lot of changes occurred.
On that day, Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang were all very interested and did not go to Xiang Yu's big tent to look for him, they knew that Xiang Yu needed to be calm, and he would also find a solution by himself.
Sure enough, the next day, Xiang Yu took the initiative to summon Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang to his big tent, and this time it was a full day, no one knew what they were discussing there, but this day changed the fate of Xiang Yu and these people under his command.
Yinggao's new deal is indeed the fuse for Xiang Yu to have a family difficult to return to this time, and one of the reasons why Yinggao promulgated the new policy is precisely for this, if he can still let Xiang Yu get the support of his so-called Jiangdong fathers as soon as he returns to Jiangdong when he is the emperor, Yinggao is really not interesting to be the emperor.
But Yinggao is not a god, and he didn't calculate that Xiang Yu could send scouts back to Jiangdong to inquire about the news when he had just arrived at the Xiongnu realm for less than a year, and he thought that with the barrier of the Great Qin Great Wall, Xiang Yu and the others would not know about their new policy at all.
In short, everything this winter is very peaceful, including the rectification of the Great Qin Dynasty that has been vigorously carried out for a long time, but the people in the barracks on the outskirts of Xianyang City gradually began to decrease, and they all drove to the north one by one, as for what they were doing, they didn't know when they set off by themselves.
Another thing is that what made Meng Tian very angry was that Ying Gao had sworn to me when he returned to Xianyang that the tens of thousands of sets of armor and equipment specially designed to fight the Hun cavalry had not been in the military camp in Shangjun after his repeated urging and inquiry.
Meng Tian's latest urging was indeed a personal reply from Yinggao, but the content of the reply made him wait with peace of mind, anyway, there will be no this year.
In Meng Tian's heart, Ying Gao still talks after he became the emperor, this time I don't know what's wrong, facing himself, a great hero who has been guarding Shangjun for I don't know how many years, he actually played a scoundrel, how do you like to urge, anyway, there is no more.
In Meng Tian's mind, it is very likely that Yinggao's attention is now all focused on internal affairs, thinking that he must be quite safe to defend the Great Wall of Shangjun, so he gradually looked away from him.
For this matter, Meng Tian even wrote a letter to his brother Meng Yi, which meant that he asked him to persuade Yinggao that he should pay attention to the Xiongnu, otherwise if one day he really led more than 200,000 cavalry to the foot of the Great Wall, it would be very difficult to deal with.
But what made Meng Tian very incomprehensible was that his brother, who originally knew very well how hard his task was, actually let himself be a little restless, and wait until the spring of next year.
Meng Tianxin said, don't you know that when spring begins, the Huns will be a good man again? He cursed his brother a few words behind his back.
But after a few more days, Meng Tian thought about it and finally found that there seemed to be something wrong with this matter, the last time he went back, if Yinggao really had such thoughts, then why did he take himself to see those weapons that were exquisitely designed to deal with Yinggao?
"Isn't it because of those equipment, the king has other plans?"
Gradually, such an idea was formed in Meng Tian's head, although it was still unknown for other things, but Meng Tian was a little convinced that Ying Gao and Meng Yi definitely wanted to destroy the Xiongnu as soon as possible, so now they all suddenly became such an attitude, is there something to hide from themselves?
Meng Tian's thoughts, Ying Gao and Meng Yi naturally couldn't take care of it, what they obviously needed was that the Great Qin that the Huns could see showed a stable scene, without any signs of wanting to attack the Xiongnu, everything was exactly the same as before, because only in this way would Xiang Yu and Mao Dun not change their previous plan, and they would still be able to attack Great Qin from the territory of Korea according to their original plan.
Soon, the heavy snow will no longer patronize the territory of Daqin, and it will not patronize the land of the Xiongnu in the near future, and the grassland on which the Xiongnu live will gradually begin to grow, which shows that the Xiongnu are about to begin to radiate new vitality, which means that they will soon have the conditions to start a war.
This war will definitely come, there is no doubt about this for Ying Gao, he will not believe that Xiang Yu will send a few scouts to play in the territory of my South Korea, and there are all kinds of signs that the two people sent by Xiang Yu have completely fallen into the trap that Han Xin tailor-made for them.
Under Han Xin's nose, they saw a place as a place where they could easily enter the homeland of Korea, and then go all the way to the east to pocket this northern land of Great Qin, and this place was deliberately exposed by Han Xin.
After the last snow in Xianyang City, Han Xin returned to Xianyang City from his hometown in South Korea and reported to Yinggao almost for the last time on the preparations there.
In the hall of Yinggao in Xianyang City, Han Xin sat opposite Yinggao alone, this whole winter's busy work, Han Xin who came out of Huaiyin was tortured enough, the northern climate made Han Xin lose weight, but the light in his eyes will never be less, Yinggao knows at a glance, don't need to ask, the situation here is quite smooth.
"Your Majesty, the two scouts sent by Xiang Yu have obviously believed the words I set up specifically to deceive them, and they should have already transmitted this news into the territory of the Xiongnu, our army is tens of thousands, and it has been ambushed in that place, once the cavalry of the Xiongnu really opens a gap from the designated place to the territory of my Great Qin, within ten miles, we can besiege it!"
"There can be evacuation of the Qianshou nearby, and within a hundred miles, there must be no people from my Great Qin!"
This point is the death order given by Yinggao to Han Xin, if the first emperor fights, it doesn't matter if you are the head of the Qian, the bird is not the bird, you are not a bird, it is your ability to survive, and you have no ability to die.
But in Yinggao, such extensive management has become a thing of the past, Yinggao told Han Xin that the people or villages of Daqin within a hundred miles of the place where they set up an ambush must be moved, even if they can't be told why they moved at this time, but they have to move.
Anyway, as soon as the war starts, they will naturally know what is going on, although it is estimated that they will not be able to understand it very well at the beginning, but when they watch the soldiers of Daqin and the cavalry of the Huns stumbling near their original homes, they will definitely be grateful to Yinggao and Han Xin.
"Your Excellency, this time I returned, I will start to move several villages in the vicinity to other places, your lordship can rest assured, the Korean homeland is a vast and sparsely populated place, and the war will definitely not affect Qianshou."
Because Han Xin himself is also from Qianshou, he is still very supportive of Yinggao's initiative.
After reporting these major things, Han Xin stood there hesitantly, obviously he still had something to ask Yinggao, but he didn't know whether to ask or not.
"What can I just say, can I kill you because of your words?"
Han Xin's bear-like appearance, that is a scene that Yinggao is quite unhappy to see, because this is really a bit far from the title of soldier immortal in Yinggao's heart.
"This ...... I believe it is just an idea, the king really didn't let General Meng Tian participate in this battle? ”
As soon as Ying Gao heard it, he knew why Han Xin was hesitating there, because he swore there that he would definitely be able to annihilate the Hun cavalry with more than 100,000 sergeants, but at that time, he didn't mention the need for Meng Tian at all, and it was obviously the late autumn season, if Han Xin said Meng Tian's words, it would be as if he couldn't play anymore.
But of course Yinggao knew that Han Xin would not be unable to play, but since he mentioned Meng Tian, Yinggao thought that if Meng Tian's team watched the excitement in Shangjun, it was really a bit of a waste, so he shook his head slightly, and threw out four more words to Han Xin: "Something to speak up!" ”
Seeing that Yinggao should not have thought about himself as if he couldn't figure it out, Han Xin showed a hint of an embarrassed smile, and then his face became serious again, and he looked at Yinggao and said: "Before, in the land of Korea, General Zhang Han and I have already calculated, if it is according to the arrangement in our strategy, and everything goes well, the Xiongnu Shan Yu Maodun led 200,000 Hun cavalry into the territory of our Great Qin, our army can use the first wave of ambushes to kill and injure at least 20,000 Xiongnu troops, And it must be a very big blow to its morale, and according to rumors, the Hun cavalry went out to fight, has always hung food on horseback and carried it around, never had grain and grass baggage, so so, as long as our army and the Hun army confronted each other for a few days, their food will be stretched, and at that time, they will be desperate to fight with our army, and most of the victory and defeat will be divided at that time, but there is one thing, if you really want to exterminate all the Hun cavalry, our army's losses will not be less than seventy or eighty thousand......"
This is obviously Han Xin's detailed account with Ying Gao, you know, this can only be achieved under the condition that there is nothing wrong with their plan, that is to say, Han Xin and the horses they brought to South Korea will lose at least half of the number, and if there is any change in it, I am afraid that the loss will go straight to 100,000.
100,000 troops, for Daqin is definitely not a small number, the entire Daqin is now full of calculations, even if you count the sergeants of Nanhai County, which Fusu just controlled a little, it is estimated that it is more than 400,000 people, if there are 100,000 people all of a sudden, the impact on Daqin's troops is absolutely obvious.
In this context, Han Xin mentioned Meng Tian, obviously thinking about the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers there in Meng Tian, and the elite soldiers of other people all knew about the Hun cavalry.
"What do you mean...... Should General Meng Tian be involved in this battle as well? ”
"Exactly, if General Meng Tian can arrive at the right time and participate in this battle, the loss of my Great Qin troops may be controlled within 50,000!"
As soon as Han Xin said this, Yinggao immediately understood that the war at this time was not just piling up with human heads, so in such a war, what Yinggao should avoid was indeed too many casualties.
"If General Meng Tian arrives early, once the news reaches the Xiongnu, it will be a move to startle the snake, and if General Meng Tian goes late, I am afraid that he can only catch up with the end of the war, the Huns are not as patient as our Central Plains people, they will not fight against you for too long, and they will start to rush and kill."
From Shangjun to the place where the ambush was going to be carried out this time, it was obvious that there was still a long way to go.
"Your Majesty, what you are thinking in your faith is not to let General Meng Tian rush from the territory of my Great Qin to the place where our army is fighting with the Xiongnu in Korea......"
As he spoke, Han Xin came to the map, and drew a long line on the map with his slender fingers, and Yinggao's gaze was instantly attracted by the line drawn by Han Xin.
A simple line, like reopening a window in Yinggao's heart, he knew that with Han Xin's presence, in this battle, Daqin would not lose 80,000, let alone 100,000.
"You go back to your hometown in Korea and prepare, General Meng Tian's side, I will solve it."
Han Xin has almost never met someone as smart as Ying Gao, as long as he is a little bit like him, Ying Gao immediately understands what he means, if it is replaced by Zhang Han, who is now partnering with him in South Korea, then he must break all his thoughts and crush them, in exchange for Zhang Han's applause.
"Your Majesty, the time for the Huns to attack my Great Qin ......"
"I naturally have a way to learn about this, you can wait for it in your hometown in South Korea, remember, it doesn't matter if you live or die, but Xiang Yu, I want to live."
"Your Excellency, be relieved!"
Han Xin didn't know why Yinggao had to live Xiang Yu, but he didn't dare to ask about this matter, who knew what kind of habit his monarch had for revenge?
