Chapter 399: The Huns
As time goes on, the winter winds get colder and colder. www.biquge.info More than a month has passed, and the rebellion in Chu was quickly extinguished due to the presence of the great general Wang Ben.
And the rebellion in Dongjun has been defeated and retreated due to Fusu's personal supervision of the battle and Meng Tian's brave battle.
Although the rebellion lasted for more than two months, the impact on the empire was still limited.
However, just when everyone in the world thought that after quelling this rebellion, the world would return to its former days. The two decrees issued from Linzi spread throughout the territory of the empire.
The decree was not very long, but it basically meant that the counties where the rebellion was in place would be subject to increased conscription and taxation. At the same time, all the medium-sized families in these counties were moved into Guanzhong.
Such an edict naturally caused dissatisfaction among the common people and the family. However, they have no choice. Because, Daqin's soldiers were still in front of them.
The second decree is naturally to position Linzi as a companion to the capital.
As for the left-behind minister, Ying Zheng still chose the right minister Feng Qujian after careful consideration.
The reason is simple, compared to Lis. Feng Quji also has a son who also has the status of the third duke, the imperial historian Feng Zheng.
Transferring Feng Quji to Linzi will more or less cause him a certain amount of dissatisfaction. However, compared to Lis, such dissatisfaction must be much smaller.
Just when Yingzheng made a bold move to reform all parts of the Kanto, especially the land of the old Qi and Wei, an unexpected news came from Xianyang.
The letter was written on paper that Yingzheng had now begun to distribute. However, the red mark on the paper was particularly glaring.
"The Xiongnu defeated the 300,000 army of Donghu and greatly increased their strength. Now there are 500,000 people who control the strings! ”
The ever-bright lights in the hall flickered slightly, making Yingzheng's face a little unpleasant.
It's too early, Donghu was defeated too early, almost ten years early!
Although there are Great Wall, there are many loopholes, and even, some sections have not been repaired for nearly a hundred years, and they have collapsed a lot.
As for the cavalry, even if Ying Zheng vigorously cultivated it after unification, it is still far from the Huns who grew up on horseback.
"It seems that we have to go back to Xianyang as soon as possible......" Ying Zheng put down the urgent report in his hand and muttered softly.
"Your Majesty, General Wang Ben is back......" At this moment, the voice of a eunuch sounded in Ying Zheng's ears.
"Biography!"
Soon, Wang Ben, who was dressed in military uniform, came to Yingzheng.
Without waiting for Wang Ben to salute, Ying Zheng picked up the urgent report he had just put down again and handed it to Wang Ben.
"Urgent news from Xianyang, take a look."
Wang Ben looked at the red mark on the paper and was stunned. Such an emergency mark had not been seen in his memory for ten years.
"The Huns, they defeated Donghu so quickly!" Wang Ben also said in disbelief.
Donghu was already stronger than the Xiongnu, and between the two, even if it was a fight, it should be Donghu's chance of winning. However, I didn't expect that the Xiongnu not only defeated Donghu, but also took such a short time.
"I didn't expect that with Touman's brave and unscrupulous character, he would be able to defeat the Donghu people so quickly."
"Your Majesty, please give the minister 200,000 troops, and the minister will not let Tou Mannan take the next step!" Wang Ben knelt down on one knee and said with an imposing voice.
However, Ying Zheng shook his head slightly and said, "If it was in the past, with you as the handsome, I would definitely not be worried at all. However, judging from Touman's strength now, there must be someone around him to guide him, otherwise, he would definitely not have defeated Donghu so quickly......"
"But, Your Majesty, even if we don't go to trouble the Huns. I'm afraid that after the Xiongnu defeated Donghu, the next target will be us. Wang Ben said with some concern.
Ying Zheng nodded, his face was obviously a little dignified.
The Huns grew up on horseback from an early age and were proficient in equestrianism. Even if you can't defeat Daqin, you can rely on the advantage of horses to evacuate at the minimum cost and retreat to the grassland.
On the contrary, it was Great Qin, who could not expand the fruits of victory if he won, and if he lost, he would face the danger of the Huns driving straight in.
No matter how you look at it, it seems that before the fight, you are already at a congenital disadvantage.
Only gathering and annihilating is the only way for Great Qin to defeat the Xiongnu.
"Anyway, let's talk about it first!" Ying Zheng waved his hand, and at the same time took out a tiger talisman from his cuff and handed it to Wang Ben.
"You return to the capital first, it will take at least more than a month for me to rush back to the capital, and during this period, the military power in the Lantian camp will be temporarily handed over to you."
"Whoa!" Wang Ben was stunned for a moment, and then took the tiger talisman in Ying Zheng's hand.
"Does Your Majesty think that the Xiongnu will make new moves during this time?"
"Not bad." Ying Zheng's face turned a little colder.
"It is impossible for the Huns not to know about this rebellion. Moreover, I can tell Wang Qing that the war between the Xiongnu and Donghu began when I was touring the east! ”
Wang Ben was taken aback, and said in disbelief: "Could it be that behind this rebellion, there is still the shadow of the Huns?" ”
"It's not that those people from the peasant family will not surrender their identity and unite with the Huns. It is estimated that I just want to take advantage of my eastern tour to avoid the danger of the rear.
I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but I didn't expect that the Xiongnu would defeat Donghu in one battle. ”
"With Touman's mind, it is impossible to do this!" Wang Ben also agreed.
In the entire court, in addition to the national captain, he knows the affairs of the Huns best.
"If the Huns take the opportunity to go south, Wang Qing must be careful!"
"Whoa!"
……
In the north of the Great Qin Empire, the originally green grasslands have now become a vast white patch.
Groups of white-mouthed Hun soldiers, riding on tall horses, drank strong liquor and laughed loudly.
Behind them, there were more than 100 Donghu people dressed in wisps. The cold weather has already frozen these people purple.
"Haha! This winter, you can live a good life! A Hun soldier said with a smile.
"Yes! And got a lot of women! Another Hun soldier casually wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said.
"Humph! A few Donghu women, it's worth being so happy? A hundred-man Hun sneered and said, "In the south, those women of the southern barbarians are really delicious!" ”
"That's right! Right! ”
"Yes!"
"Hahaha!"
More than 100 Huns laughed and echoed, and their rough pupils were filled with the smell of blood.
"Poof!"
There was a muffled sound, and a teenager who looked no more than ten years old fell into the snow. The thin body suddenly fell into deep blood.
Not far away, the Huns laughed even more happily.
And the other Donghu people didn't even look at this young man. Because, at this time, they don't even have the strength to roll their eyes.
In this snowy weather, a teenager who falls down means that he can no longer stand up.
What's more, in this snowy field, there are wolves that don't know when they will appear......
"Let's go!" The Huns waved the whip in their hands and shouted.
"Squeak! Squeak! ”
In the middle of the snow, the sound of stepping on the snow was heard again.
