Chapter 201 Attacking the Huns in the North Without Saying Anything
Lu Yan heard Wen Chen praise himself, and what he said was the Tao, but he was very melancholy in his heart, the strength of the Xiongnu was not comparable to those barbarians in Baiyue, and if he went like this, there was no doubt that he would be more than lucky. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Lu Aiqing, all the generals said that you are competent in this matter, assist General Meng Tian, fight against the Huns, and achieve a big victory, I also think so." Ying Zheng said very calmly.
This is obviously the monarch and the ministers teaming up to bully him, Lu Yan looked at Zhang Cang a little helplessly, that Zhang Cang was like no one, he should eat and drink, and completely regarded the palace as his own Zhang Mansion.
"Pingnanhou, if you think this matter is reasonable, it is better to accept it, and today's banquet can be regarded as a success." Li Si raised his glass and said.
Sitting on the banquet, Lu Yan didn't say a word, Wang Juan and Li Si sang and harmonized, raising Lu Yan's identity very high for no reason, and at the same time, Ying Zheng on the side also looked at Lu Yan, hoping to quickly pay attention.
"Your Majesty, now that 130,000 soldiers and horses are being recruited, it is really difficult for the subordinates to deal with it easily, if you are dispatching a good general to assist your subordinates, what does the king think?" Lu Yan said a little modestly.
After that, he immediately looked at his queue, in this team, in addition to the Shima must go, there are also Lu Jing, Zhang Han, Wang Li, Nei Shi Teng and others.
Lu Jing's wife, that is, the tenth princess is pregnant, so she naturally refuses to go out with Lu Yan, Lu Yan can also understand, as for Zhang Han, as a forbidden army, it is not easy to leave, and the old man is one of them, just take care of her life.
Lu Yan calculated in his heart and set his eyes on Wang Li, they are all thirty or forty years old, it should be time to make meritorious contributions, Wang Li saw Lu Yan's gaze sweeping, and he already understood seventy or eighty percent in his heart.
Now that Wang Jian has died, Wang Ben is at home to recuperate, and only Wang Li is in the court of the Wang family, but how can his merits be compared with his father's generation, I can't help but be gloomy when I think of this.
"His Majesty is willing to go to the north with the Marquis of Pingnan to repel the Xiongnu." Wang Li stood up abruptly and said, Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then nodded in agreement.
"It's so good, Meng Tian has an iron horse, and there are deputy generals Shejian and Su Jiao, Pingnanhou has crossbow arrows, and there is deputy general Wang Li, this matter will definitely be successful." Ying Zheng was very happy in his heart.
The banquet was very cheerful that day, but Lu Yan was ordered during the banquet, although he saw Li Si's plan, but he couldn't break it at all, as the leader of the generals, he should be recommended by the ministers, if he objected, he would definitely be admonished by Li Si.
It is said that in addition to Wang Li, Lu Yan also has Yingbu and Chen Ping by his side, who are really his right-hand men, and there should be no danger to his life when he goes to the northern fortress with him.
I heard that Meng Tian led the troops rigorously and the army was orderly, which was also a place that the Huns were afraid of.
Before sending troops, we should first analyze the situation at that time, there are Jiuyuan County, Shang County, and Dai County in the north of Qin State, and the most important of them is the border defense of Jiuyuan County, which can be said to be the gateway.
The second is the north of Guanzhong below, that is, the land of the Hetao, you may not believe it, the distance between Xianyang and Guanzhong is not far, and 100 miles should be the most.
There are four foreign tribes in the north of the Qin State, from west to east are the Qiang people, the Yue clan, the Xiongnu people, and the Donghu people, among which the Xiongnu are also mixed with many small tribes, but the people are united.
The purpose of Yingzheng's troops is very clear, starting from Xianyang, crossing Henan to the north, and then stationing troops in Jiuyuan County to expel the Xiongnu, and secondly, if necessary, then drive away the Qiang and Yue clans.
From the current point of view, the land occupied by the Xiongnu, as well as the land of the original Zhao State, this battle not only to recover the lost territory, but also to drive the Xiongnu to the north of the Helan Mountains, and never dare to set foot in the land of the Hetao.
Judging from the map, Guanzhong happened to be surrounded by the broken Great Wall, and there was the Yellow River in Jiuyuan County, which was a natural danger, and the Great Wall was broken, so the Hun cavalry disturbed China very frequently.
At that time, the land of Qin was not very large, since the Xiongnu were driven to the north of the Helan Mountains and the Great Wall was built, they only sent people to guard the Great Wall, and they did not ask too much about the northern land.
Even so, the Xiongnu did not dare to come to harass, about ten years later, the Central Plains was in turmoil, the Xiongnu took a break, heard that Qin Shihuang had died, Meng Tian died, and there was a great tendency to move.
As for the Han Dynasty, it was completely based on harmony, supplemented by attack, and only Emperor Wu had the courage to not give face to the Huns, precisely because Liu Che often fought wars, so he was nicknamed Emperor Wu.
Lu Yan did not come back from Linzi for a few days, and was arranged to the north to fight against the Xiongnu, this time a total of 130,000 troops were sent, but the army was a little miscellaneous, and it should be no problem to fight, and the same was true for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to conquer the Xiongnu.
The dispatch was tentatively scheduled for the end of the summer of 215 B.C., with 50,000 soldiers and horses leading by Shima, and the remaining 80,000 soldiers and horses led by Wang Li and Lu Yan with 40,000 each, starting from Shangjun and entering the northern part of the Hetao through the Yulin area.
Because Shi Jian and the others left first, King Qin sent the army as usual, and let Lu Yan go through a form for the time being, because he had been named the Marquis of Pingnan, he had not yet made meritorious contributions, and it was inconvenient to reward him, so he was only given a false title of overseer, but Lu Yan didn't care.
In front of the marching platform that day, King Qin was in great spirits, and it happened that Yingbu was also on the scene that day, and he may have acted in a hurry, forgetting to wear a headscarf on his head, which exposed the Qin seal.
Ying Zheng frowned slightly when he saw this, and immediately ordered Zhao Gao to bring Lu Yan for questioning, after all, these people are all under the management of Lu Yan, if they are prisoners as military generals, wouldn't it make the world laugh at it.
Lu Yan saw that Yingzheng's face was still good just now, but after a while, he became a little indifferent, and he muttered in his heart.
"Lu Aiqing, as the so-called people do their own things in their jobs, I don't know if Aiqing employs people based on ability or preference?" Ying Zheng said very indifferently.
Lu Yan didn't know what he meant, so he immediately bowed and saluted, "Ministers use people, regardless of background, if they have talents, they will be used to make up for their mistakes." ”
"This is very good, but on the day of the army, the etiquette should be standardized, otherwise even if you are talented, you will be ridiculed after all." Ying Zheng said that, his eyes looked at Yingbu.
Lu Yan reacted very quickly, and looked at Yingzheng's gaze, it was the place where Yingbu was standing, although he was neatly dressed, but the Qin seal on his forehead was really eye-catching.
"Thank you for the king's reminder, the minister understands." After saying that, he immediately ran down and motioned to Yingbu to cover the Qin Yin on his face, and Yingbu also noticed it at the moment, hurriedly covered the Qin Yin, and stood behind Chen Ping.
Yingbu really has a set of training soldiers, anyway, you will beat you horizontally, so that the army does not need many days to be tidy, Yingzheng was very happy when he saw this, and then awarded Lu Yan the title of overseer, and announced that he would send troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north.
