Looking at the increasingly vigorous flames, the Xiongnu's eyes flashed, everyone's faces were filled with joy, and they raised their throats and shouted: "Burn the hateful and hateful Qin dog!" ”

"The Qin army is hateful, and they want to put the Great Hun warriors to death! Qin Dog, you also taste death! ”

"Burn, burn, burn Qin dog!"

The Huns roared loudly, and the torches could not stop throwing into the grease. After only a while, there were fires everywhere, I don't know how many, and it was spectacular. After a while, the fire burst into flames, burning the trees, and the flames rose into the air, reflecting half the sky red.

"Zizi!" Countless trees were engulfed in flames, and there was a sizzling sound, and the fire grew stronger and stronger, and the entire foot of the mountain was on fire.

A gust of wind blew, and the fire became stronger, and it rushed towards the mountain.

"Haha!" Shan Yu looked at the fire that was rushing towards the mountain, and he was very proud, looking up to the sky, and bursting into laughter.

"Haha!" The Xiongnu ministers also laughed loudly and were extremely happy.

"Utra!"

"Utra!"

The Huns rejoiced Mo Ming, danced with their hands, cheered loudly, and the sound of long live resounded in the sky.

XXXXXXX

Qin Yiren and Li Mu, Huang Shigong, Li Si, and Han Fei were in the Chinese military tent to discuss military aircraft.

"Childe, when do you plan to end this battle?" With a wise light in his eyes, Li Si looked at Qin Yiren and asked.

"Li Si, when do you think it's time to finish?" Qin Yiren did not answer, but reacted.

Qin Yiren wanted to test Li Si to see what he had to say.

"Childe, I thought that there was no need to kill all the Huns in this battle. It is only necessary to scare the guts of the Huns. That's it. "Lees is clearly well thought out. Unhurried.

"Why?" Qin Yiren asked.

"Childe, in the world of the Warring States War, what is most lacking? Not gold, silver, jewelry, not grain and grass, but manpower! Li Si analyzed it loudly and said: "In the world of great disputes, the people of Li are suffering from the Warring States and are miserable. It is because of the endless wars, the princes' conscriptions, the many who die in battle, the many who are displaced, and the many who die of hunger...... Therefore, manpower is the most lacking. ”

In the world of the Warring States War, when was there no war? I don't know how many people died in battle.

On which day of the month were there no displaced people? I don't know how many people died of hunger and cold.

People are the foundation of all things, as long as there are people, there is everything. Yes. In the world of the Warring States War, the most precious thing was not gold and silver jewelry. It's not food and grass, it's people!

Li Si's words were to the point, and Qin Yiren nodded heavily, greatly appreciating.

Li Mu and Huang Shigong also bowed slightly, with a look of appreciation.

"In my opinion, as long as the courage of the Huns is broken, so that the Huns do not dare to rebel again. Capture some Xiongnu captives and let the Xiongnu do coolies. Li Si then analyzed: "Not to mention anything else, the Huns' horse raising skills are unparalleled in the world, if it can be used by Daqin, why should Daqin worry about no horses?" ”

The Xiongnu were nomadic people, and if it was used to grow crops, it would be impossible, and the Xiongnu would definitely feel very painful. If the Huns are used to shepherd the war horses, it is to be used properly, and the Huns will definitely raise the war horses to be fat and strong. If there were tens of thousands of Xiongnu shepherding war horses for Qin, why should Qin worry about not having war horses?

"Good! Pick! As soon as Li Si's words fell, a cheer rang out.

"Smack!" Qin Yiren tapped his hands lightly and was greatly admired: "What Li Si said is exactly what I think." The Huns, of course, are hateful, but the Huns also have something valuable. The Xiongnu are very useful, not to mention anything else, if the Xiongnu are used to raise horses, Daqin will definitely have countless horses, and the army of Daqin will be faster, coming and going like the wind. ”

War horses, one of the most important strategic resources in the era of cold weapons, do not need to be said for the importance of a country and a nation. Just look at the powerful dynasties in Chinese history, such as the Han and Tang dynasties.

The reason why the Han and Tang dynasties were strong, the reason why the armies of the Han and Tang dynasties were able to crisscross the desert, the Han Dynasty broke the Xiongnu, and the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks, is that these two dynasties have a lot of war horses.

As we all know, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty formed a large number of cavalry, and under the leadership of the genius commanders such as Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi, the great Han Erlang crisscrossed the desert and defeated the powerful Xiongnu. The reason for this is that the Han Dynasty implemented "horse politics" and achieved great success, with a large number of war horses.

Otherwise, even with the strength of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it would be impossible to reform the military system of the Han Dynasty and form a large-scale cavalry.

The Tang Dynasty far surpassed the Han Dynasty in this regard, and when the Tang Dynasty was at its strongest, the government alone had as many as 700,000 war horses. This is only in the hands of the government, and the horses in the hands of the people are not counted. It is precisely because of the large number of war horses that the Tang army almost has a war horse per person, even if it is infantry, it can also have war horses to walk, because the Tang army's mobility ability is particularly strong.

The successful implementation of "horse politics" made the Han and Tang dynasties have no fewer war horses than the nomads, and it is precisely because of this that the Han and Tang dynasties are so brilliant.

It can be said that the strength of China is built on horseback!

If the success of the Han and Tang dynasties is a "positive teaching material", then the failure of the Song Dynasty is a "negative teaching material". Truth be told, the economic power of the Song Dynasty was second to none among the medieval dynasties, far surpassing the fantastic Tang Dynasty, and it was the first dynasty in Chinese history with a population of over 100 million. However, the Song Dynasty did not make any achievements in military affairs, and its strong economic strength did not translate into strong military strength for many reasons.

One of the reasons is well known, that is, the Song Dynasty lacked horses, and there was a serious shortage of horses. In order to change this situation, the Song Dynasty invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to implement the "horse administration", but it was unsuccessful because of corruption. There are a total of 12 horse farms on Hebei Road, and there are only 2,400 war horses available a year, which is obviously impossible, and the corruption is too serious.

It is precisely because the Song Dynasty did not have a large number of war horses that when they encountered the iron horses of the Khitans, Jurchens and Mongols, they could only be beaten.

Eventually, the Song Dynasty became the first dynasty in Chinese history to die in a foreign race!

It can be seen that the importance of war horses for a country and a nation, and Li Si proposed to use the Huns to shepherd war horses, which is a very clever opinion, no matter how praised.

"If Childe thinks so, then he needs an excellent pasture, and the land of Hetao is fertile and beautiful, and the sky is blue and the grass is green, which is an excellent pasture." Han Fei took over the conversation, perhaps because he was excited, his stammering was much better, and he spoke very coherently, which was extremely rare.

"That's right! The land of the Loop is the best pasture! As soon as Han Fei's words fell, everyone praised them again.

"Childe, in my opinion, not only ...... Pastoral ...... in the Hetao Raising war horses, but also ...... and thou shalt build a ...... in the land of the loops City. Han Fei's old problem of stammering is really speechless, Shicai's sentence is quite coherent, and now he is stammering again.

"Building a city?" Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows, stared at Han Fei and asked, "Why do you want to build a city?" ”

Huang Shigong's eyes flickered, and he looked at Han Fei.

"Childe, the magic of building a city is useful...... Two. Han Fei still stammered and said, "First, if you have a city, you can have a dependence...... Second, only by having a city can we control Hungary...... slave, so that the Huns did not dare to ...... Disobedient. ”

"Good! Pick! As soon as Han Fei's words fell, another cheer sounded.

The importance of building a city in the land of the Hetao does not need to be said, and its role is twofold: first, only with the city can there be support, where you can accumulate ordnance, grain and grass, raise war horses, and prepare for the invasion of Mobei; The second is that only with the city can the land of the Hetao be controlled, and if the land of the Hetao cannot be controlled, the land of the Hetao cannot become a strategic springboard.

Historically, after Qin Shi Huang ordered Meng Tian to recover the land of the Hetao, he built a city here, which was to build the land of the Hetao into a strategic base for attacking Mobei and controlling the desert. It's a pity that Qin Shi Huang died too early, and the Qin Dynasty soon perished, and this plan finally went bankrupt and could not be carried out.

Until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, after Wei Qing recovered the land of the Hetao, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted the suggestion of his master father Yan and built a city in the land of the Hetao. At that time, Prime Minister Gongsun Hong objected, and the master father argued with him, and sent ten questions in a row, but Gongsun Hong was speechless. It is precisely because of the construction of the "Shuofang" city in the land of the Hetao that the Han Dynasty had a base in the desert, and prepared the conditions for the later crossing of the desert and attacking the north of the desert, so that there is the legend of "fleeing at night" and "sealing the wolf Juxu".

Han Fei is worthy of being a genius, and he has seen the importance of building a city early on, and no matter how much praise he can't overstate.

"Historically, Han Fei died in vain. This time, I can't let Han Fei die anymore no matter what, I must let him die and serve Daqin! Qin Yiren secretly admonished himself in his heart.

"Hmm." Suddenly, there were bursts of cheers from the Huns down the mountain.

"What's going on?" Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows and asked loudly.

"Yu Gongzi, the big thing is not good, the Huns set fire to the mountain." Meng Zhao came quickly, and reported to Qin Yiren from afar.

"Burning the mountain? Not good! Huang Shigong and Li Mu jumped up and rushed out as if they were flying.

Qin Yiren also rushed out and came to the top of the mountain to take a look, only to see the flames rising from the foot of the mountain, and the fire was raging.

"Childe, give the order quickly, the whole army will attack!" Li Mu shouted loudly.

"Yes, Childe." Huang Shigong and they echoed in unison.

The fire and water are ruthless, this fire has been completed, once it burns up, the camp of the Qin army will inevitably not be spared. Instead of being fled by the Huns, it is better to attack decisively at this time, and how many can be killed.

"It's fine." Qin Yiren saw it in his eyes, but it was not the same thing.

"Are you alright?" Huang Shigong was so anxious that a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he shouted loudly: "Childe, water and fire are ruthless, this fire has been completed and cannot be controlled." As long as it is burned, the camp will not be spared. Without the camp, the Huns want to escape, and it is difficult to stop it. It is better to take advantage of the beginning of this fire, and the whole army will attack and kill all of them. ”

"yes." Li Mu and the others echoed in unison.

"Why don't you just set a fire and burn a mountain? Can this stump this child? Qin Yiren was not in a hurry at all.

That's a big blow, right? Although Huang Shigong trusted Qin Yiren very much, he no longer believed in them at this time.

"Herald. Cut down all the trees in front of the camp. Well, it's a matter of cutting out ten miles. Qin Yiren's eyes flashed.

Isn't it just a mountain forest fire prevention, if this can stump Qin Yiren, he is still worthy of being a modern person?

A barrier will do the trick! (To be continued.) )
