Calendar 173 is destined to be a year to be recorded in history, in this year, the Qin encountered the most powerful challenge, the Xiongnu and Rome, the two great powers of the world, launched a war against the Great Qin at the same time, in the northern frontier of the Great Qin, from Central Asia to the Far East, more than a million soldiers of the Huns and the Great Qin Legion fought on the border, they tried to break through the defense line of the Great Qin Legion, return to the land of their ancestors Longxing, and let the Xiongnu once again become the steppe empire that intimidated the continent hundreds of years ago; The Romans, on the other hand, wanted to take advantage of the best opportunity in the past hundred and fifty years to re-annex Greece, a country of great importance to them, and at the same time seize the hegemony of Great Qin in Asia. All this shows that the world hegemony created since the Western Expedition of the Great Qin Army will be tempered by blood and fire in turmoil, and if it can once again subdue the nations, then the rule of the Han people will continue.

For Daqin, the war with the Huns and the Romans can not afford to lose, once the hegemony collapses, it will be difficult for Daqin to monopolize sea and land trade, and at the same time will lose a large amount of territory, there will be turmoil in various parts of the South Seas, affecting grain production, and more importantly, the Huns and Romans will go further, even if Daqin has a comeback in the future, it will be difficult to reach the former Weihe, so no matter what, Daqin will do his best to defeat the Huns and Romans, and fight them back to decay, It will not be able to recover for at least thirty years.

Cao Anmin knew this very well, so even if the group of Qingliu scribes who were accustomed to peace in China complained a lot because of the war, he was also iron-hearted. continued to expand the legion, intending to drag the Huns to death, as for those who were in the way, he also changed the past leniency, but all words that shook the hearts of the army and the people were all distributed to the army. Went to the front line of northern Xinjiang to serve as hard labor, and for a time the scholars who were born after 30 years of peace were swept away, and the martial artists and bloody men who were originally despised by the rising literati were to revive the momentum of the past, and all of them rushed to join the army, not to say the empty words of protecting the family and defending the country, all of them were holding back their anger to make contributions on the battlefield, not only to be rewarded with martial arts, but also to leave a name in history. so that future generations may know their names, so that as a man, they will not come to this world in vain to live this life.

The news in Daqin, Li Ang is also well-informed here, and every half a month, Jinyi guards come and go, recording all the big and small things and sending them in a book, so that Li Ang, who is now more and more prestigious, knows about it, so as to plan the general trend of the army. Cao Anmin knew that with today's Great Qin, it would be extremely difficult to fight and win with the Huns and the Romans at the same time. If it weren't for Li Ang's presence in Central Asia, who repeatedly forced the two great powers of Persia and Kushan to cause chaos and couldn't spare the effort to trouble Great Qin, I am afraid that Great Qin would really want to fall into hegemony and never return to the past.

Originally, the families in Chang'an City who were a little jealous of Li Ang Naxi's conquest of the king were now eager for Li Ang to set off quickly to find the Romans. You must know that at present, Daqin has invested more than one million soldiers on the front line of northern Xinjiang, and according to the current situation, I am afraid that in the end, there will be another 500,000 soldiers to fill in, so as to be able to hold the territory without losing an inch of land, how can we still make up a large army to march west, not to mention that the Romans' thirty years of Taoguang cultivation are also extraordinary, and now they have no troops to send except for sending fleets over. Everything can only be counted on Li Ang, the Tang Guogong known as the reincarnation of Bai Qi, to be able to deal with the Romans.

"Father-in-law, the imperial court is now confronting the Huns on the prairie and fighting with national strength. Wouldn't it be controlled by others, it is better to let them in and stretch their supply lines, so that there is a chance to find a chance to win. Li Cunxiao has always been by Li Ang's side, and he can also see the newspapers sent by Daqin for the first time, and he is a little puzzled by Daqin's heavy deployment of troops on the border far from the mainland, in his opinion, it is far more cost-effective to rely on the Great Wall and the fortress groups built in the Hanzhou grassland in the past than to rebuild fortresses on the remote border line where there is no danger to defend.

"Cunxiao, do you think you can reach the staff officer of the White Tiger Festival in terms of military strategy?" Li Ang looked at Yizi and didn't answer the question, over the years, these henchmen under him have followed him to fight, and they have all learned his character of preferring death to suffer losses, as long as he can win, he never cares what the means are, but seeks a winning word.

Li Cunxiao was stunned when he heard this, he thought that his father-in-law must have the same opinion as him, but he didn't, thinking about what his father-in-law asked, he shook his head and said, "In terms of military strategy, under my father-in-law, only General Chen can compare with the staff officers and generals of the White Tiger Festival Hall, and I am still far behind." ”

"That's the truth, what you want to get, how can the White Tiger Festival Hall not think of it." Li Ang sighed lightly, and then continued, "If you are a general of an army and only think about the victory or defeat on the battlefield, you are right to think that way, but now we are fighting with the Huns to seek the country, and as the staff officers of the White Tiger Festival Hall, they have to think about it

, but all the morale of the people and the reaction of the enemy country must be taken into account one by one. Ang looked at the map of the highlands behind him, "My Great Qin since the founding of Emperor Taizu, how can the northern Xinjiang ever lose an inch of land, last year's defeat in the river, the world was shaken, it has greatly discounted the prestige of my Great Qin Army, if you retreat today, what will the people of the world think, and now the front line of the northern Xinjiang is a new training soldier, not a hundred battles elite soldiers, once the momentum is taken, how is it good, save filial piety, you will have to think more about everything in the future, your father-in-law does not want you to be just a fierce general on the battlefield in the future." ”

"Father Xie mentioned." Li Cunxiao bowed, he knew that Li Ang was all for his good, so he said so much to him, but there is one thing Li Ang has never told him, in fact, Daqin does not give up an inch of land on the border, in addition to the above reasons, the more important thing is the face of the big country, the reason why the big country is a big country, is that there is a kind of domineering, today Daqin retreats, other countries will inevitably have different thoughts, can no longer shake them, the reason why Daqin has the current predicament, is that it has lost its domineering in the past thirty years, if it is like the founding era, the countries in the world but there is a word offended, The Great Qin Legion came to the city, that is, there was no offense, Daqin also had to pick the thorns of the countries, and beat it from time to time, the soldiers always had a battle to fight, and the swords did not fall, at that time, the Great Qin Legion was not only an iron-blooded army, but also a tiger and wolf army, and an invincible army.

In the blink of an eye, it was autumn, it was the most suitable season for cavalry duels, fighting for most of the northern border line for half a year, Daqin and the Huns at the same time large-scale mobilization of troops, ready to fight a large-scale battle, the White Tiger Festival Hall in order to plan this battle, from the beginning of the year has begun to plan, to the middle of the year has been basically decided, when Cao Anmin sent a copy to the river to Li Ang, let him see if there are any omissions, Li Ang did his best to gather the army center abdomen, together with the details of this battle copy, After a few studies, I felt that the White Tiger Festival Hall had taken almost all aspects into account, so Li Ang signed his name after the copy, he knew that Cao Anmin sent this copy, in fact, he used his reputation to encourage the White Tiger Festival Hall and the front-line soldiers, after all, after more than 30 years, the Great Qin Army mobilized more than 300,000 people and horses for the first time for a large-scale main battle, 30,000 heavy cavalry, 40,000 light cavalry and 60,000 infantry troops, it can be said that it gathered half of the strong troops in northern Xinjiang, Even the remaining 170,000 auxiliary soldiers to support logistics are also very tough, if this battle is lost, it will fall into passivity, and the whole line will collapse, it can be said that this soldier's morale is the most critical, such a big battle, the White Tiger Festival Hall and the front-line soldiers want to say that they are not nervous, it must be a lie, Cao Anmin knows this very well, so he did this.

Li Ang just let people send the copy of the battle out less than three days, Chang'an's secret envoy has quietly arrived with a secret edict, it turned out that Cao Anmin was not at ease, simply imitated the story of the battle of Changping in the first Qin, and transferred Li Ang to the north to command the battle, to boost the morale of the three armies, but also to fight against the Huns, Li Ang is famous in the steppe, when the decisive battle, once the banner is played, I am afraid that those Hu tribes who rebel against the Huns will collapse without a fight.

In the face of Cao Anmin's will, Li Ang happily bowed to him, more than ten years of battlefield career, from a small soldier to today's Duke of the country, he relied on killing military merits, and he also knew in his heart that now the Romans invaded Greece, has put on an aggressive posture, and Chang'an, who got the news, will definitely not let him take a few years to march into Rome, this war against the Huns, is to give him the credit of the king, once he wins this battle, I am afraid that he will immediately wave his army westward, The ashes of Emperor Taizu and the kings, heroes and fallen soldiers since the founding of the country are all in Jerusalem, the dragon city, and there is absolutely no room for loss.

All the way lightly and quickly, Li Ang set out from the river in mid-June, day and night to hurry, at the end of July arrived at the front line of northern Xinjiang, at this time all the ordnance, grain and grass have been in place, the staff officers of the White Tiger Festival Hall and the 130,000 decisive battle of the main force of the infantry generals have also been getting along for some days, and have reached a run-in with each other, but what puzzles everyone is that the choice of the commander has not been decided, although they have doubts in their hearts, but everyone is careful to abide by their duties, and they are still calm to the outside.

It wasn't until the beginning of August that the generals and staff officers of the White Tiger Festival Hall who had been mobilized for more than two months knew that the commander of this battle was Li Ang, who was known as the killing god of the reincarnation of Bai Qi, for a while all the people thought of the battle of Changping in the first Qin, and they were all excited, after Li Ang arrived, he lived in the middle military camp where the White Tiger Festival Hall was located, and still hid from the soldiers below, until the decisive battle with the Huns, he would not show up.
