The following is the text of the novel (author: Huaxia Jiuzhou) provided for you, please enjoy!

Caohan County is the westernmost county of Longxi County, and it is also the most remote county in the northwest of Daqin. After the establishment www.biquge.info of Longxi County by driving dogs in the north of Daqin, it has become the territory of Daqin, and it has a history of more than 200 years.

Strictly speaking, not all the people near Caohan migrated from the old Qin people who migrated from Guanzhong, and a considerable part of them also had the bloodline of the Dog Rong and Qiang people.

It's just that after more than 200 years of mixed living, these people have all now regarded themselves as Qin, abandoning the nomadic life of the Dog Rong and Qiang tribes who live by water and grass, and have learned to farm and weave.

There were not only 50,000 Jiuyuan troops who followed Meng Tian south to Longxi, but also more than 100,000 Xiongnu prisoners captured in the Battle of Jiuyuan. These more than 100,000 Xiongnu captives, plus the tens of thousands of Xiongnu prisoners who were building the Jiuyuan Straight Road brought back to Xianyang by Wang Gan, Daqin has captured nearly 150,000 Xiongnu strong laborers so far.

It has been almost a year since the Battle of Jiuyuan, and these more than 100,000 Hun captives naturally cannot be raised in vain. Today's Jiuyuan Fortress has become a large, two small and three cities.

And the two acropolises that newly appeared on the east and west sides of the Jiuyuan Fortress, covering an area of more than ten acres, are the fruits of the labor of these more than 100,000 Hun captives.

These two acropolises are said to be cities, but they are actually two completely militarized fortresses. There were no people or dwellings in the two acropolis, and the Jiuyuan Army who lived in the two acropolises was a large number of various treasury.

As early as after the end of the Battle of Jiuyuan, Hu Hai already had plans for the future use of the Jiuyuan Fortress.

After the completion of the straight road from Xianyang to Jiuyuan, it will be a smooth road from Guanzhong to Jiuyuan Fortress. If you are fast, you will be able to go directly from Xianyang to Jiuyuan in two years at most.

After the Xiongnu retreated to the extreme north of the Wolf Juxu Mountain and the establishment of Pingyi County, the function of Jiuyuan City as an important town outside the fortress has been greatly weakened. Pingyi County has become the Great Qin Border County, but the Jiuyuan Fortress has changed from a border county to an inner county.

In the future, if Daqin continues to go north, it will obviously be the best rear area through Jiuyuan, which is connected by the Jiuyuan Straight Road. All materials, grain, grass, baggage, including merchants will arrive at Pingyi County from Jiuyuan, or from Pingyi County to Jiuyuan first, and then go directly to Xianyang, Guanzhong through Jiuyuan Straight Road.

The grassland passage linking Jiuyuan to Pingyi County has been put on the stage, and construction will start after the Hexi Corridor passage from Daqin to the Western Regions is opened this time.

And Meng Tian brought more than 100,000 Xiongnu Qingzhuang to Longxi, precisely in order to build a road connecting the Hexi Corridor from Caohan after the army cleared the 1,000 Qiang and Yueshi barbarian tribes in the Hexi Corridor.

However, before the army cleared the various foreign tribes along the way, these more than 100,000 Xiongnu captives would expand the city of Caohan under the command of Meng Tian, who was sitting in Caohan.

In the near future, like the Jiuyuan Fortress, it will become the transportation hub of Daqin connecting the Western Regions. It will also be a military town and material distribution center of Daqin.

In the bitter cold land of the northwest, there is not much time suitable for mobilizing troops. Now is the right time, and apart from some nomadic Qiang and Yue tribes in the Hexi Corridor, there is basically no formed regular army that can pose a threat to the well-equipped Qin army. Therefore, Hu Hai gave Meng Tian two months, and in two months, Meng Tian had to open up the Hexi Corridor, advance the territory of Great Qin to the area of Dunhuang in the later Han Dynasty, and establish a bridgehead.

Tang poem "persuade the gentleman to drink a glass of wine, and enter the west out of Yangguan for no reason." "Let countless people know about Yangguan, the same Tang poem "Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, Chun Feng is not the Yumen Pass." It also made countless people know about the Yumen Pass.

These two Xiongguan fortresses, which appeared in countless poems in later generations, have not yet appeared in the world. But come to think of it, it won't be long.

It can be seen from the fact that Meng Tian concentrated 100,000 Yuan troops Jing Rui and entered the Hexi Corridor at the same time, in fact, what Hu Hai really wanted to do was not only to drive the Qiang people farther away or pacify, but to take this opportunity to open up the passage between Great Qin and the countries of the Western Regions.

The army that really dealt with the Qiang people was the 50,000 Longxi Border Army led by Xin Sheng himself. The 50,000 troops from the western border of Longtao will set out from Lintao and sweep the areas west of Lintao that really belong to the Qiang people.

50,000 Longxi border troops, 30,000 cavalry, 10,000 foot soldiers, and 10,000 heavy soldiers. Of course, there is also the plundering army composed of hundreds of nobles and wealthy families in Guanzhong who will soon arrive in Longxi.

After the Longxi army defeated the Qiang tribe and settled in the west of Lintao and the north of the two counties of Bashu, the remaining small fish and shrimp will be handed over to the plundering army out of the customs to solve.

The easiest and simplest task was actually the 50,000 Jiuyuan army of Meng Hao, who marched west from Jiuyuan. After Bi Jing drove most of the Xiongnu barbarians to the north of Wolf Juxu Mountain, most of the people who remained on the ground west of Jiuyuan were some small nomadic tribes. Therefore, the main role of the Menghao army is only to take precautions and clean up the remnants of the Xiongnu tribes west of Jiuyuan.

After Huhai's repeated transfers and fierce battles, there are still more than 220,000 Jiuyuan troops left. This time, the army marched westward, and Meng Tian took away 120,000 original troops, of which 20,000 soldiers belonged to Meng Tian's personal guards. Meng Yun, who went east to the northeast with Li Xin, took away 30,000 cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army. In today's Jiuyuan Fortress, there are only 70,000 troops left.

The 100,000 Longxi army has basically been such a number since Li Xin's battle to destroy Chu. These 100,000 troops from the western part of Longxi were distributed in a vast area of hundreds of miles in the area of the thirteen counties of Longxi and Beidi.

Among them, there are 50,000 troops in Zhididao in Longxi County, accounting for half of the entire Longxi Army. Zhiyiqu (later Gansu West Peak) in Beidi County was stationed with only 10,000 soldiers. The remaining 40,000 entered the two counties closest to the Qiang territory, and each had a garrison of 5,000. Then the rest of the 30,000 troops were distributed in two counties and nine counties, which can be said to be a small number of soldiers.

For the safety of Meng Tian and the county ruler Di Dao, Xin Sheng transferred the rest of the 30,000 troops distributed in the nine counties back to Di Dao before leading the 50,000 Longxi border troops stationed in Di Dao to the west, and transferred 20,000 of them to the command of Meng Tian to listen to the order.

In fact, the main purpose of his doing this was to worry about the sudden change of the more than 100,000 Hun captives. Bi Jing guarded more than 120,000 Xiongnu prisoners and supervised their construction of the city, and Meng Tian's troops were already somewhat stretched.

Hu Hai just asked Meng Tian to lead the Jiuyuan Army westward, but this Jiuyuan Army does not include the 50,000 troops of Su Jiao, who had been directly transferred by Hu Hai to Xin Sheng, not to mention Xin Sheng's 100,000 Longxi Army.

Therefore, although Meng Tian did not agree with Xin Sheng, who had the power to temporarily transfer troops during the war, to transfer the Longxi Border Army to Caohan City, he could only put forward his opinions, and as for whether to accept it or not, it was a matter of Xin Sheng.

Obviously, Xin Sheng, who came out of the Jiuyuan Army, could not follow Meng Tian's advice at this point.

In fact, Xin Sheng waited for the Huns to be a little too vigilant. You must know that the Xiongnu at this time were still the same people who had an inferiority complex in the treatment of the Central Plains Empire.
