Lu Yan and others led the Qin army to set off towards Yulin one after another, due to the late summer and early autumn, so the march was extremely strict, and it was not allowed to trample on farmland crops. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Now Meng Tian garrison in Jiuyuan, and the Xiongnu troops are scattered, from Longxi to Gaoque, there are Xiongnu troops almost everywhere, running through the periphery of the old city of Yanzhao.

As for Xiao Pass, it is between the two, not far from Meng Tian's army, the specific location should be the gap where the Yanzhao Great Wall is located, and the place where the Yellow River bends, there are few people living in it, and it does not belong to the Qin Dynasty's jurisdiction, despite this, Ying Zheng still does not want to see the Xiongnu reckless near it.

Wang Li's subordinates also brought many craftsmen, the purpose was to make repeaters, and there were many stumbling horse nails, which were sharp weapons for the Xiongnu.

The march lasted only ten days, and all Lu Yan's men and horses were assembled in the old city of Yanzhao, and although Meng Tian was in the frontier, he had also heard of Lu Yan's name, of course, all of them were told to him by Shijian.

Jiuyuan County, where Meng Tian is located, is almost inhabited by others, and is completely a military station, although there are residents, they are also kitchen handymen who serve the army, and there is no one else.

Lu Yan and Chen Ping came to the gate of Jiuyuan County first, and Yingbu arranged the army in the rear, Jiuyuan County was originally the hometown of Yan State, and it was renamed Jiuyuan not long ago, and further north is the Wolf Mountain Range.

"Sir, should we report to General Meng first, or go directly to the city?" Lu Yan sat on the horse and said with some doubts, the soldiers in the city were also puzzled when they saw Lu Yan, but there were only a few people, and it was not easy to open the door at will, and they did not show any proof.

"I've sent someone to inform Shima of the news that we're here, but I haven't opened the door to greet me yet, so it's really a bit strange?" Chen Ping pondered a little helplessly.

At this moment, a general suddenly appeared above the county seat, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Meng Yi, and Chen Ping immediately pointed it out to Lu Yan when he saw this.

"Master Hou, presumably this person is General Meng Tian." Chen Ping said with some excitement.

Lu Yan looked along the city gate tower, and sure enough, there was a soldier standing on top of the county seat, with a very majestic appearance, a very neat beard, and a look in his eyes, which was a little more handsome than Meng Yi.

Without waiting for Lu Yan to answer, the soldiers above immediately waved their hands, "Is it Pingnanhou?" "The voice is loud, there is still a lingering echo, and it really has a military demeanor.

Lu Yan immediately dismounted, "It's Pingnanhou below, I don't know if the general is General Meng Tian?" There was still a little hesitation in his words, and the soldiers above the city gate immediately bowed their heads.

At this moment, the wabu next to him also appeared in a hurry, and immediately ordered the guards to open the city gate, Lu Yan and the others entered the city at this time, Meng Tian saw that he was so old, and his appearance was delicate, not at all like a man from the northwest, although he had doubts in his heart, but after all, it was the Hou Ye, and it was inconvenient to ask, so he had to wait and see how he used his troops.

On the same day, Meng Tian invited Lu Yan and others to the mansion, and Yingbu also came from Shangjun in the evening, and the mansion was also a lot more lively, except for Meng Tian and Lu Yan, Wang Li, Shejian, Su Jiao, Yingbu, and Chen Ping were all sitting in turn.

Although Lu Yan was higher than Meng Tian, he still let him sit in the first place, plus Meng Tian's iron cavalry and other Qin troops, the 150,000 army was no more and no less.

After three rounds of drinking, Meng Tian and the others' faces gradually became formal, "I heard that the crossbow arrows and tripping horse nails designed by Ping Nanhou are very good, but I don't know if they are troublesome to make?" ”

Wang Li, who was next to him, immediately got up after hearing this, "General Qiyu, the tripping horse nail is very simple, and the crossbow arrows can also be made after the guidance of several carpenters, and it only takes half a month to put them into use." ”

Meng Tian nodded immediately after hearing this, "I heard what the deputy general said, and I have tested the crossbow arrows a few times, and I think it is really good, and it should be built as soon as possible, but we will also have to deploy it in the next half month." ”

As Meng Tian spoke, he immediately ordered the attendants to bring in a map and put it in the camp tent, and Lu Yan sighed at its meticulousness after viewing it, and places like Yanzhi Mountain were drawn.

"Look, everyone, this is the map of the border of Qin, all drawn by the scouts, the king's order is very simple, just drive the Xiongnu out of the north of Gaoque, let them live in the north of the Helan Mountain Range, and there can be no Xiongnu here in Wolf Mountain." Meng Tian pointed to the map and said.

"Due to the recent cold weather, the march is inconvenient, so we only need to drive the Xiongnu to Hebei first, and temporarily set up camp on the south bank, so as to wait for the spring of the next year to discuss again." Meng Tian said slowly.

Lu Yan and the others just nodded after hearing this, Meng Tian has been in the frontier for a long time, and he often fights with the Huns, so many of these things are arranged by Meng Tian.

"Please also ask the general to give an order, we don't dare to disobey." Lu Yan immediately bowed and saluted.

Meng Tian nodded very happily, he didn't expect Lu Yanshang to be only nineteen years old, so he had such enthusiasm, and he was more convinced of the matter of the southern expedition to Baiyue.

"I have a plan for my battle, so I will tell you today, and if you have different opinions, you can say them in public." As he spoke, he immediately waved his hand and retreated from the attendants and maids on the left and right.

"From Longxi to the north of Hetao, there are Xiongnu infested, so I decided to divide the army into three units, one to attack the north of Longxi, so that the Xiongnu shrank in Yanzhi Mountain, led by Pingnan Hou 50,000 soldiers and horses to execute, the other attack to the east of Xiaoguan, so that the Xiongnu turtle retreated in Hebei, and Wang Li led 50,000 soldiers and horses to execute, the last one is south of Gaoque, I personally led 50,000 soldiers and horses, expelled from the Xiongnu to the north of Gaoque, I would like to arrange this, what do you think?" Meng Tian said very carefully.

All the soldiers felt that this plan was very good, but Chen Ping next to him frowned slightly, it turned out that Xiao Guan was between Longxi and Gaoque, and belonged to the Hetao Heavy Land, so in the process of fighting, it was also the most important battle.

If Wang Li is defeated, then the Xiongnu will occupy all the places in the Hetao, and the two teams of soldiers and horses of Lu Yan and Meng Tian will be threatened, which is the shortcoming of the strategy.

But Chen Ping didn't have any official position now, how could he dare to question General Meng Tian's strategy, and immediately pulled Lu Yan and walked out of the tent.

Lu Yan was pulled out of the tent by Chen Ping, and he was also puzzled in his heart, "Why is Mr. like this?" Could it be that this is not the right plan? Lu Yan asked in a low voice.

"It's not inappropriate, it's just that Ping thinks that General Wang Li's battle is particularly important, it is better to divide our soldiers and horses with 10,000 to General Wang Li, the land of Longxi is a place where the Qiang, Yueshi and Xiongnu are fighting, and there is no need for so many soldiers and horses."

"Sir, do you mean that if Wang Li is defeated, the Huns will take the opportunity to surround me and General Meng Tian, and it will not be easy to solve it?" Lu Yan said after listening to it.

"Lord Hou is wise, only in this way, Wang Li wins, and we are not in danger." Chen Ping said indifferently.

Hearing Chen Ping say this, Lu Yan naturally opened his mouth, and what if he gave Wang Li 10,000 soldiers and horses, as long as he could expel the Xiongnu.
