Chapter 441: Expedition Preparations
In the abundant water and grass of Beidi County, patches of horses are grazing on the grassland. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Here, it is the pasture of the Great Qin Empire, and it is also the most fundamental source of war horses for the cavalry of the Qin State.
Here, there are countless wranglers, as well as trained cavalry recruits.
Every summer, these new cavalry troops, who have completed their training, will go north. Passing through Jiuyuan County, heading towards the vast grassland.
Although the Huns and Donghu people on the steppe have been weakened a little miserably, they still have some strength and can fight in the end.
However, this so-called power of the First World War, in fact, is just a training method left by the Qin Empire.
Therefore, every year in summer, it is the time when the Qin cavalry goes north to cut the grass, and it is also a nightmare for the Huns and Donghu people.
Among the many new pawns and wranglers in the Northlands, there was an old man with gray hair, but he was particularly special.
Although no one has ever mentioned his name, everyone who lives in the northern land knows that the seemingly ordinary old man is the former military god of Zhao State.
"Whoosh!"
A young figure fell from the sky, but the deep eyes did not match his youthful appearance.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ā
The sound of horses' hooves like thunder came from a distance, and an old man led by him was galloping on the grassland with a group of young-faced Qin soldiers.
"Sir, there seems to be someone in front of you!" A self-proclaimed sharp-eyed cavalryman shouted.
On this vast grassland, everyone's attire is to make it easier to ride a horse. However, the person in front of him looked more like he was from Guanzhong.
It seems that such a strange person, according to the training guidelines of the cavalry, will surround him as soon as possible.
"Phew!"
However, when he was still dozens of steps away from the man, Li Mu, who was the leader, pulled the reins in his hand fiercely.
"Sir?" The surrounding Qin soldiers showed a look of surprise, and then looked at Li Mu one after another.
"You guys go back first." Li Mu turned over and dismounted, and slowly walked towards the young man.
"Whoa!"
Although there were some doubts, the Qin army behind Li Mu was still ordered to turn around and leave.
"It seems that you also have a lot of prestige in the Qin army." Ji Hao looked at Li Mu and smiled slightly.
"Teacher."
Li Mu, who was already gray-haired, didn't mind Ji Hao's young appearance at the moment, and still respectfully made a disciple salute.
"I can see that you like this kind of day." The smile on Ji Hao's face became more and more intense.
"I'm just doing what my teacher has given me." Li Mu arched his hand, but in his expression, he didn't have the look of liking as Ji Hao said.
"In that case, why don't you do one more thing for your teacher?"
Li Mu was slightly stunned, shook his head and said, "In the land of the four realms of the Qin Kingdom, there is no longer even the last trace of crisis. Moreover, whether it is Wang Jian and Wang Ben, or Meng Tian and other cutting-edge, they are enough for the Qin State. There is no need for me, a veteran general of the Zhao State, to meddle in the affairs of the Qin State anymore. ā
Ji Hao's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and he said: "Although the former opponents have been wiped out one by one, the first emperor of the Qin State will find trouble by himself!" ā
"What do you mean, teacher? In today's world, is there still a country that can fight with Qin? Li Mu frowned, obviously not believing Ji Hao's words.
"A country called Rome has a territory and military strength no less than that of Qin. By the way, those weirdos who appeared among the Huns that day should have come from that country! ā
Ji Hao's words made Li Mu's eyes flash slightly.
However, then Li Mu shook his head and said, "After all, I am a minister of the Zhao State, and helping the Qin State train cavalry is already my bottom line......"
However, before Li Mu's words were finished, he was interrupted by Ji Hao.
"The Zhao State has died, and now the territory of the Zhao State is full of Qin people. Moreover, maybe you don't know that your once proud grandson, Li Zuoche, has also been invested in the Qin State. ā
Ji Hao said, took out a silk book in the shape of an edict from his arms, and handed it to Li Mu.
"As a veteran of the battlefield, I don't believe that your blood has cooled down so quickly. The name has not yet been written on this edict. If you can't cross the threshold in your heart, then in my name, under the name of the teacher, I guess you have no reason to refuse. ā
Li Mu lowered his head slightly, obviously, he began to hesitate in his heart.
"Moreover, write this name, you may have an unexpected surprise......" Ji Hao's voice sounded in Li Mu's ears again, however, when Li Mu raised his head, Ji Hao's people had disappeared.
The palace gate of Xianyang Palace slowly opened, and one by one messengers with the edict of Yingzheng galloped out from the palace gate, riding fast horses.
In the attic, Ying Zheng looked at the black and oppressive Xianyang City, and couldn't see what he was thinking.
"In Your Majesty's words, the Roman Empire is hundreds of thousands of miles away from my Great Qin, and, judging from the previous weirdos, this Roman Empire should also have capable people.
The so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can win a hundred battles, and our army has traveled a long distance, how to deal with logistics and materials is a top priority, and the old minister also asked His Majesty to wait a few more years. ā
On the side, Bai Qi, who looked even younger, looked at Ying Zheng with a serious expression and said.
"Uncle Shi, don't worry, I naturally have some considerations. Moreover, between the empire and Rome, there are also many kingdoms, and the first thing that my Great Qin will face is these kingdoms, and finally Rome will ......"
As soon as Ying Zheng's words fell, a familiar feeling suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.
"Hehe, sure enough, the teacher still understands Li Mu." Ying Zheng glanced to the north and said softly.
Immediately, Ying Zheng silently closed his eyes and immediately found a connection with Li Mu. A steady stream of national fortunes suddenly rushed towards Li Mu.
In the Nanling counties, Wang Jian personally led the newly trained army of 200,000 and walked among the mountains and forests.
Among the 200,000 troops, in addition to half of the veterans of the Qin army, there are more soldiers trained by the old soldiers of Baiyue.
Although the remnants of the Six Kingdoms suffered a lot of losses in those four years, compared to Nanling, it was still peaceful.
In just over four years, all kinds of buildings and cities unique to Nanling have risen to the sky.
Baiyue, who has learned to farm, no longer has to worry about food and clothing in winter. All of them are sincerely grateful to their new god.
Among the 200,000 troops, almost everyone had a blazing light in their eyes. Because, this time, they will fight for their god.
Songhai City, which was originally only famous for the Little Sage Village, is now full of people.
Groups of soldiers of the Qin army, carrying materials from all over the country, went to the sea.
And at the edge of the sea, it has long been controlled by the Qin army. Without the handprints in the Qin army, ordinary people can't get close to each other.
Curious people can only look at the sea from the far hill. Faintly, you can see rows of ships under construction.
And next to the building boat, in addition to many strong men who are busy with their naked upper bodies, there are also many machine beasts as tall as one or two people.
The state of Qin, this huge war machine, under the several edicts of Ying Zheng, once again operated rapidly.
