The Battle of the Western Regions of Great Qin Chapter 5 Xiongtu
A month later.
On the school field, the best of several recruits were riding galloping horses, whistling and firing crossbows, and they were all hitting the target.
Not everyone can hit hearts, but archery is good.
A large number of recruits watching from the sidelines gave warm applause: it is rare to be able to have such archery skills after enlisting in the army for a month.
"Hey, Chen Tang, show us your hands." Song Jian looked at it and said to Chen Tang.
"Yes, Chen Tang, you have the best archery skills here, let's give you some advice." Chen Jiang was also in high spirits.
Chen Tang hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "It's okay." Turned around and got on his beloved snow-white war horse, and with a whip, the war horse neighed and went straight to the field.
When the recruits saw that Chen Tang was gone, they immediately became enthusiastic and shouted wildly: "Chen Tang - Chen Tang - Chen Tang -"
In recent months, the training has been very hard, but Chen Tang, who has endured since childhood, quickly adapted to the brutal training and stood out. In addition, archery and martial arts are the best among the recruits, and he soon won the respect and support of the recruits, as if he was the leader of the recruits.
The wind was still cold, Chen Tang quickly estimated the wind speed and direction on the galloping warhorse, and then quickly loaded the arrow with one hand, turned over and sideways to the side of the horse. Raising your hand is an arrow.
"Grab-" The sharp arrow screeched into the distance, sinking into the blood-red bull's-eye with incredible precision. Incredibly fast access, awesome station
Pretty! This kind of archery, not only archery to surpass people, but also to the riding skills are extremely high, otherwise you can't hold the galloping war horse, fall down, not to fall to death will also fall into cripples.
"Good—good—" Suddenly. There was thunderous cheers on the sidelines, and a group of recruits applauded and shouted.
Chen Tang dismounted. Walking quickly in front of everyone, he smiled calmly: "Archery, there is no unique trick. There are only two words: diligence and finesse. To be diligent is to practice more. As the saying goes: water drops wear stones, that's the truth. Fine, that is, careful. A really good marksman should take into account many factors such as wind speed, wind direction, slope and so on when shooting arrows. Adjustments can be made quickly in a fraction of the time. I believe that as long as you practice more, everyone will become a sharpshooter. ”
"Yes, yes!" The recruits nodded their heads, and many of them pondered, as if they had come to a good understanding.
But at the end of the line, a cold and arrogant man pouted: "What's the big deal, won't you shoot a good arrow?"
But it is Kong Jie, who is known as the head of the 'Lantian Three Heroes'. Obviously, he was very dismissive of Chen Tang's position as the leader of the new army.
Kong Fang said in a low voice: "Big brother." This old soup is really powerful, we can't compare, so don't vomit, so as not to get angry. ”
"Yes, big brother, now this Chen Tang is echoed in the army. We're going to go against him. I am afraid there will be no good fruit to eat. Kong Sheng also persuaded.
"Why, are you all afraid of him? Useless cowards! Sooner or later I will outdo him. Incomparably fast access, give the force station" Kong Jie's eyes widened, shook his hand, and left angrily.
Kong Fang and Kong Sheng glanced at each other, shook their hands helplessly, and had no choice but to follow.
Chen Tang turned his head in the crowd, and just saw Kong Jie who was gone, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
******
Xianyang, the imperial palace of the Great Qin Empire, the south study.
There was a charcoal stove burning inside. The roaring fire made the room unusually warm. Even though Fusu was wearing only very thin clothes, he didn't feel cold.
Now, all the pieces of the court are on paper. Fusu reviewed it, saving a lot of time and energy. No, it's just getting late, and the energetic Fusu has already finished reviewing all the chapters.
"It's done!" Fusu stretched his waist, and his mood finally relaxed.
"Your Majesty, you're tired, drink some fragrant tea, and the concubine will give you a beating on the back." The well-behaved Lu Pheasant hurriedly walked over, holding a cup of hot tea with a strong aroma.
"Okay." Fusu leaned slightly on the cushion and slowly refined the fragrant tea with one hand. Lu Pheasant knelt behind him and obediently pinched his back.
"Well, the pheasant's hands are getting more and more skillful. Incomparably fast access, to the force station" Fusu was so comfortable that he couldn't help but praise.
"Thank you for your praise, and the concubine is very happy." Lu Pheasant looked very happy.
Suddenly, Fusu remembered something and said loudly: "Xi, get me in."
"My lord, the slave is here." Outside the south study, I heard Fusu's call, and Xi hurriedly rushed in, hanging his hands and serving aside.
"I remember summoning the ovary to meet me in the afternoon, why hasn't anyone arrived yet?" Fusu's face was a little displeased.
Xi hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, Taiwei Zhang has already arrived, and seeing that Your Majesty is busy reviewing the chapters, I didn't dare to disturb it, and the slave and maid died."
"Oh, that's it, forget it, you go down, come in the heirloom room." Fusu nodded quietly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly walked out.
After a while, Zhang Liang strode forward and bowed down: "Your Majesty, Minister Zhang Liang is driving."
Fusu looked at Zhang Liang: he is already middle-aged, although the style is still the same, but his manes are already slightly white, and he said softly: "Ovary, don't be polite, sit down on the side."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Liang sat down on the cushion beside him.
"Ovary, now that the Huns are gone, I still can't sleep, do you know why?" Fusu said suddenly. The update speed is top-notch and super fast
Zhang Fang was stunned, and said after a moment of silence: "Your Majesty is worried about the Yue people in the west!?"
"The ovary knows my heart!" Fusu suddenly put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and strode to the huge map behind him. Pointing to Guanzhong, he said: "Zifang, you see, Guanzhong is rich and the people are strong, which is the foundation of my Qin State's domination of the world."
Previously, there were six kingdoms in the east and the Xiongnu in the north. They are all eyeing me Daqin. However, after years of hard work, the first emperor, I and Zhuqing finally swept the Central Plains. The Xiongnu were annihilated and the great troubles in the east and north were eliminated.
However, at this time, the Yue people in the West are gradually becoming stronger, and although they are friendly to our Great Qin for the time being, they will inevitably have gaps in the future. The Yueshi is located in the Hexi Corridor, and with the opening of the trade route between the two countries, its nearest place is only a thousand miles away from Xianyang. The Iron Rider is just a few days away, and it's really another catastrophe!"
"Your Majesty thinks?" Zhang Liang frowned.
"Destroy it!" Fusu suddenly opened his hand and slapped it fiercely at the position of the Hexi Corridor.
In fact, Fusu had already revealed his intention to plot against the Yue Clan, but he had never been as naked as he is now, Zhang Liang was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the Yue Clan has now obtained half of the grassland and part of the population of the Xiongnu's right land, and its strength has expanded again. The minister estimated that the number of strings was between 20 and 250,000. And my Great Qin, after repeated fierce battles with the Xiongnu, the remaining cavalry is only 250,000, and the area is vast, and the number of soldiers that can be used is only 10 to 150,000 cavalry. I'm afraid I can't do it. ”
"I know," Fusu nodded, "So, I don't plan to fight the Yue Clan now, but start preparing now, and when the time is ripe, I will pick this ripe fruit."
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Liang breathed a sigh of relief, Fusu was not hot-headed because he defeated the great enemy Xiongnu, and said: "However, Yichen understands His Majesty's land, and the conquest of the Yue Clan may not be the end of His Majesty, right?"
"Not bad." Fusu said solemnly: "If you want to be stable in Guanzhong." We must first conquer the Hexi Corridor, and if we want the Hexi Corridor to be stable. So ......"
Fusu's gaze suddenly fell on the vast Western Regions, where thirty-six large and small kingdoms stood majestically, and said slowly: "It is necessary to conquer the Western Regions!"
Zhang Liang gasped and said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, although my Great Qin is growing day by day, I am afraid it will not be an overnight matter to conquer such a huge territory."
"I know." Fusu glared at Zhang Liang angrily, and said with a smile: "But no matter how much time it takes, the next corridor and the Western Regions in Hexi must be taken down, this is related to the overall situation of the country's fortunes, and it is a strategic deployment that will never change in the future of my Great Qin."
However, I want to complete this task in my lifetime, because although Great Qin's current national strength is not at its peak, the abundance of talents is not seen in hundreds of years. If this opportunity is missed, future generations will have to pay a much greater price than they do now if they want to take the Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions again.
Ovary, do you understand? Even if I am charged with reckless military force, I will not hesitate to do so. ”
Zhang Liang was terrified: The first emperor, a generation of heroes who have not been born for a thousand years. And Fusu's ambition is even more than his father's. Fortunately, Fusu was much more rational and accepting than the First Emperor.
"Your Majesty's pure heart will shine on a hundred generations." Zhang Liang couldn't help but praise a few words: "So, in order to conquer the Yue Clan first, how does Your Majesty plan to prepare for the ministers?"
"Two points," Fusu was obviously already confident: "First, sending troops to completely conquer the Qiang and Xirong tribes in the Hehuang region has always been an unstable tumor in the southwest of my Great Qin, and I don't want to have any constraints in the future when using troops in the Hexi Corridor." Moreover, it is also possible to take advantage of the situation to obtain an outpost from the west of the river and the Western Regions.
Second, send troops out of Yinshan and Longxi, and set up a large number of outposts on the Yueshi border. One is familiar with the terrain, the second is to secretly assist in the investigation of the Yue Clan's intelligence, and the third is to exterminate some bandits and protect the trade routes.
Others are nothing more than training recruits, accumulating war horses, grain and grass, and so on. The ovary should be very experienced, so I don't need to say more. ”
Zhang Liang understood, nodded and said, "The minister knows, Your Majesty can rest assured, there will be a detailed plan on the same day and present it to Your Majesty."
"Okay, ovary, then go and prepare, I'm tired after a busy day." Fusu waved his hand.
"The minister retired." Zhang Fang got up and bowed and quietly retreated.
When he got outside, Zhang Fang shook his head with a wry smile, looked at the vast sky, and sighed: "Under a male lord like Your Majesty, life is not easy, it seems that you have to worry about it for a lifetime."
Thinking about the chic life of smiling in the mountains and forests and idle clouds and wild cranes that he longed for before, Zhang Liang couldn't help but feel a little lost.
At this time, Chen Tang, who was hundreds of miles away, did not expect that Fusu's ambitious planning would push him onto the stage of history.
