Chapter 488: The Wish of the Relic (First Update)

While Peng Yue and Sima Xin were looking forward to it, Han Xin and Xiang Yu had already set off first.

Xiang Yu's 80,000 army did not lose anything on the way, and after more than half a month of rest under this mountain range, it has basically adapted to the windy and snowy climate here, after all, such things are still common in some places in the Xiongnu, and there is nothing very difficult to adapt to.

This expedition, according to Yinggao's previous guarantee, all the grain and grass were transported by the two counties of Bashu in Daqin, when Xiang Yu arrived, the grain and grass were basically very sufficient, and according to Lu Jia's statement, it was still being transported to this place in a steady stream, and they didn't want to hide Xiang Yu, Yinggao wanted to make the bottom of this mountain range a transit station for the Peacock Dynasty, and in the end, the scale here should be no less than the size of a county.

Although Xiang Yu also knew that if Yinggao did this, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to occupying the land from Daqin's Bashu to this place first, but the credit for this journey is all from others, and the current Xiang Yu is reasonable, so he can't say anything.

The two scouts sent out earlier had returned two days before their departure, and had brought back some good news for Han Xin and Xiang Yu.

According to the scouts, after passing from this mountain range, the situation on the other side is similar to this one, and the climate is relatively harsh, but the terrain is slightly better than here, which is undoubtedly quite good news for their 100,000 cavalry team.

Han Xin firmly believes that Yinggao's news is definitely not wrong, according to his thoughts, after arriving on the other side, as a pioneer, as long as he can find the population of the Peacock Dynasty in about half a month, and then let the rulers of the Peacock Dynasty know that his land has been invaded by an army that does not know where it came from, his task will be considered to be more than half completed, as for the rest of the matter, it will be the performance time of himself and Xiang Yu.

Since Xiang Yu had already decided on a trip this time, after getting the news, the two of them directly reorganized their troops and horses, and set off decisively according to the time set by Yinggao, because they already knew that there was no one nearby on the opposite side, so Han Xin directly took 30,000 pioneers and began to cross this mountain range.

According to the previous discussion between Xiang Yu and Han Xin, after Han Xin took the vanguard over, he would explore the way about thirty to fifty miles in front of Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu only needed to follow Han Xin from a distance, so that once he encountered a small force on the opposite side, Han Xin himself would solve it.

Moreover, if the other party reported the news to their ruler in a panic, it would make the ruler think that there were only 30,000 invading men and horses, and the remaining 70,000 people would be out-and-out surprise soldiers, in such details, it would quite be able to reflect the skill of Xiang Yu and Han Xin in commanding the battle.

Not to mention that Han Xin and Xiang Yu successfully brought an army of 100,000 from a place that was completely impossible before to the Peacock Dynasty or the land adjacent to the Peacock Dynasty in almost one day. At this time, the monarch of the Peacock Dynasty, Relic Yijia, was still immersed in conquering Great Qin and obtaining countless treasures of Great Qin and Mei Ji's fantasy.

After several months of familiarity, Xu Fu at this time has been in the capital of the Peacock Dynasty, Hua's City, and after a period of visits to some important officials of the Peacock Dynasty, Xu Fu found that this Peacock Dynasty is actually the place where the monarch's relics are lost.

But if any courtier does something that makes him dissatisfied, the relics will scold him, of course, the scolding is the lightest, Xu Fu has seen a courtier say with his own eyes, this warship is not reliable, in case it is overturned halfway, after all, the Peacock Dynasty has no experience in such a large-scale warship campaign, right?

If this is said in the court of Great Qin, although the first emperor may not necessarily listen to it, but people at least know that this courtier must be for his own good, for the good of Great Qin, if he doesn't listen to it, he won't do anything to others, but it is different if he loses Jiake, he stepped forward and kicked the courtier to the ground, and then directly expelled him from the court, if it weren't for the many courtiers who were present to dissuade him, that guy estimated that he might not even be able to save his life.

Such a scene tells Xu Fu that this relics are a guy who listens to and believes partially, and isn't that what he is good at when dealing with such a guy.

Therefore, during this period of time, Xu Fu said that he suddenly found a treasure that he had brought over, and he didn't dare to enjoy it exclusively, so he gave it to him directly.

Fahrenheit, the capital of the Mauryan Empire, was not located in the center of the Mauryan Empire, but in the northeast of the Mauryan Empire, near the lower reaches of the Ganges, a large river that ran from east to west in the Mauryan Empire.

The reason why the capital was established in this place is because the environment and climate here are quite good, not only the land is fertile, the climate is pleasant, and the trees are shady, but the rulers of the Peacock Dynasty never knew that this place was not very far from the mountain range where Han Xin and Xiang Yu came, and the distance between them was equivalent to crossing the two small counties of Great Qin.

Of course, Xiang Yu and Han Xin, who had just arrived, didn't know that in the eyes of the people of the Peacock Dynasty, that mountain range was a large barren place, so their cities and villages were not very close to there, and almost all the people of the Peacock Dynasty would not have thought that one day someone would rush out of such a large mountain range and come to their land.

And this Fahrenheit City is close to Xiang Yu and Han Xin's offensive route, which means that it is very far from the coastline, so the result is that the pressure on Xiang Yu and Han Xin in the early stage will be very large, and this is also a point that Yinggao thought of before, but in Yinggao's opinion, if the two of them suffer some pressure, the two of them still have a great chance of turning the corner, but if they have just experienced a long journey and the navy has suffered so much pressure, it will not necessarily be good.

In short, when the relics were still immersed in the sweet dream of how he captured the land of Great Qin and plundered the beautiful queen of Great Qin, the three-way army of Great Qin was already like three sharp swords, and was rapidly swinging towards the hinterland of the Mauryan Dynasty.

And at this time, the warships that the relics have been urging almost every day have not been completed, which makes the relics very annoyed, he has given a death order, at most two months, he must set off to attack Daqin, if the goal is still not completed, all the people who build the warships will be thrown into the sea.

In fact, although Sheli Yijia is a slightly tyrannical monarch, but in his heart, the most admired is the third generation of the Mauryan Dynasty's monarch Ashoka, who opened up the territory for the Mauryan Dynasty, which has the stable foundation of this dynasty.

And now the dynasty is in the hands of his relics, although he has a bad temper, and he knows how to enjoy it every day, but he is also a monarch with ideals and aspirations, and he didn't know what he should do if he wants to reach the height of Ashoka, but now, Xu Fu's sudden appearance, an area similar to his own Peacock Dynasty, but in Xu Fu's mouth, the appearance of Daqin, who is far less capable than himself, let him see an excellent opportunity to become a monarch who can be praised by future generations.

As long as he can win the Great Qin across the ocean in his lifetime, his achievements will be only high compared to Ashoka.

But the relics don't know that the seemingly loyal and honest Xu Fu is a big fool, and now the emperor of Great Qin is no longer the first emperor who is in his fifties and riddled with illness in Xu Fu's mouth, but is in his twenties, and he is very eloquent.

When the Mauryan Empire was founded, they had about 50,000 cavalry, 500,000 or 600,000 infantry, and 10,000 war elephants.

But after the time of Ashoka. The military strength of the Mauryan Empire did not improve to a great extent, but came to a low point under the slackness of the relics.

At this time, the registered population of the Mauryan Empire had exceeded 20 million, but the mobile force only had about 30,000 cavalry, less than 400,000 infantry and less than 2,000 war elephants.

The elephant is indeed the killer weapon of the Mauryan Dynasty, but the manpower and material resources consumed by each elephant in training and raising on weekdays are very amazing.

And because of the existence of war elephants, the Mauryan Empire did not rely very much on their own cavalry, and their cavalry was only a little more than 50,000 when it was at its best, and the main task of these cavalry was undoubtedly to fight with war elephants.

Originally, these mobile forces of the Mauryan Dynasty were similar to those of Great Qin, and they were all stationed around the capital Hua's City, but recently because the relics were going to conquer Great Qin, many of these soldiers were sent to the seaside.

According to the idea before the relics lost Jia, to attack Daqin, he had to send 150,000 troops, and he had basic military common sense, even if Great Qin was weak, it was almost impossible to take down such a large empire if it was less than this number, and the reason why he did not forcibly set off now was because the warships currently manufactured could not hold the 150,000 soldiers and their grain and grass even if they were full, otherwise, it is estimated that the relics of the anxious son would have sent people to set off.

100,000 cavalry, to another land is definitely a big target, Han Xin and Xiang Yu both know this, so after they arrived, they quickly marched forward, and frequently sent scouts, so that they could control when they could completely get out of this no-man's land.

Originally, they thought that this large area of no man's land must be at least similar to the barren land of Daqin, but after only ten days of marching, the scouts in front of them excitedly reported to Han Xin, and they found a village about a hundred miles ahead, and the scale was not small.

As soon as he heard the news, Han Xin's eyes lit up at that time, he ordered the team to set up camp at that time, and he was Pegasus backwards to find Xiang Yu, such a progress was an absolute big deal for them to send troops this time, and it was impossible for Han Xin to decide by himself.

"What? Seeing people so quickly? This is a lot earlier than what we predicted before, according to Emperor Daqin's prediction, it can be regarded as a lot earlier, if you and I directly lead the army to attack now, I'm afraid that the navy over there is still a very long way from the Peacock Dynasty......"

After Xiang Yu heard the news, he silently analyzed that he had personally read Yinggao's letter, and he also knew what kind of goal Yinggao wanted to achieve, but he didn't elaborate, Han Xin, who was standing next to Xiang Yu, knew that Xiang Yu didn't elaborate not because of anything else, but because once he elaborated on it, it would make Han Xin think that Xiang Yu was afraid that the Huns under his command would have losses.

"Yes, according to the king's previous plan, after I arrived here, I spent at least a month familiarizing myself with the terrain of the Peacock Dynasty, and now it has only been more than ten days, if I attack rashly and attract hundreds of thousands of troops of the Mauryan Dynasty too early, it will indeed be very disadvantageous for us......"

As soon as Han Xin's words came out, Xiang Yu knew that he really regarded this joint army as his own army, in Han Xin's heart, there was no distinction between 20,000 Great Qin soldiers and 80,000 Hun cavalry, so Xiang Yu's heart let out a long breath, at least from the current point of view, this time the alliance, Great Qin is indeed solid.

Xiang Yu thought about it for a while, and a plan appeared in his mind.

"It's a condescending place, and if there's any wind and grass around, you can observe it, and now the two of us are stationed here, and send scouts to investigate the vicinity of the village, and it would be great if we could catch a person in the village without anyone noticing."

"What does Shan Yu mean to capture a person from the Mauryan Empire, and then find out from his mouth where the capital of the Mauryan Empire is? But the king once said that my Great Qin and the Peacock Dynasty do not understand the language, I am afraid that even if I am caught, it will be difficult to deal with the language of the Peacock Dynasty if no one understands it. ”
