Qin Yiren's words attracted a lot of opposition.

"Childe, why do you need to fight the Western Regions? The Western Regions is a bitter cold and barren land, and the land cannot be cultivated, and the people cannot fight. ”

"The Western Regions are too bitter and cold, there is yellow sand everywhere, I heard that it is difficult to go to the Western Regions, and you need that camel to do it."

"Instead of fighting the Western Regions, it is better to fight the land of Shandong as soon as possible."

The generals' rebuttals were conclusive.

Listening to the generals' rebuttals, Qin Yiren was speechless, who the hell said that the Western Regions were useless? Among other things, Xinjiang's natural gas is massive, which can be used by China for many years. Although China is not needed at present, it is a wealth left to future generations.

Besides, the "Silk Road" will pass through the Western Regions, which is the only way to connect the East and the Western world, and this economic value will be great, which will benefit China immensely, which is also a precious wealth left to future generations.

More importantly, as long as it is used well, China will completely want to take a further step to control the Middle East region, and it will have access to the sea in the West, which is strategically important to China.

Some people may think that this is delusional, impossible. Do you know that the Tang Dynasty almost entered the Middle East and took control of the Middle East? As we all know, the Tang Dynasty and the Arab emperors had a great war for tens of hundreds of years, what was its purpose? The Tang Dynasty was to control the Middle East.

With these three reasons, it is enough for Qin Yiren to use troops against the Western Regions, and they must recover the Western Regions.

"What do you know about the Western Regions? Have you ever been to the Western Regions? Qin Yiren rolled his eyes and asked the generals, "You are just hearsay, you don't know about the Western Regions. I don't know the importance of the Western Regions. Just lie in vain. Enough for the ring. ”

At that time, the Central Plains only knew that there was a Western Regions, and only knew that the Western Regions was a bitter cold and barren land, with a vast land and sparsely populated population, and a small number of people. As for the real situation. No one knows, Qin Yiren's question stopped the generals.

"There are things in the Western Regions that are not available in the Central Plains, such as grapes and pomegranates, and you may say that these items are useless. But have you ever thought about it? Now is the world of great contention, once the Great Qin dominates the world, there will be no more swords and soldiers, and at that time, the big work will let the people live a good life. These things are of great use. Qin Yiren glanced at the generals.

In the current world of great controversy, we must advocate frugality. What can be saved is saved, and things like grapes and pomegranates are of little use at the moment. However, once the world is peaceful, we must focus on improving the living standards of the people and improving their physical fitness, and these fruits will be useful.

"Hmm." Huang Shigong and Wei Yi nodded heavily, agreeing with this. With the eyes of the two of them, they naturally knew how correct Qin Yiren's words were.

"Besides, the horses of the Western Regions are no worse than the horses of the Huns, and even better. You've heard of Sweaty BMW, right? If there were a large number of such horses, would Great Qin Ruishi be even stronger, you say? Qin Yiren's voice turned high.

"Sweaty BMW? Of course we've heard of it. It's a good horse, I've heard of it, but I've never seen it. The generals' eyes lit up, they were very envious, and they couldn't wait to have a bloody horse with a divine horse immediately.

For generals, who wouldn't want to have a good horse?

"This matter is so decided, select a group of people with flexible minds and skills, generals and captains under the age of 30, and non-commissioned officers under the age of 25, and set out in three days." Qin Yiren finally said.

As soon as the order was handed down, the Qin army thundered with joy, and there was another battle to fight, and it would be impossible for them not to rejoice.

Those Qin troops who were selected were particularly happy, and the Qin troops who were not selected were particularly unhappy, but they were helpless.

The reason why Qin Yiren insisted on leading 50,000 Qin troops to the west was to solve the problem of the Western Regions in one fell swoop. As for the alien races in the Hexi Corridor, with their little strength, they can't withstand the attack of 50,000 Qin troops at all.

When we mention the Western Regions, we will think of Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions. However, if you ask who was the first Chinese general to enter the Western Regions? Many people will definitely think of Li Guangli, because Li Guangli conquered the Second Division City and shocked the Western Regions.

In fact, the first person to enter the Western Regions was not Li Guangli, but Huo Quai.

Huo Quzhi's first independent commander of the army was to lead 10,000 elite cavalry to attack the Hexi Corridor, which defeated the Hutu and Hun evil tribes, and even captured the golden people of Hutu and the king of Hutu. In this battle, Huo Qubing fought beautifully, played the prestige of the Han army, and also showed his genius.

In the summer of the same year, he again led 20,000 elite cavalry back to the Hexi Corridor, this time, he went all the way west to the vicinity of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang.

This was the first time in Chinese history that troops had come to the Western Regions.

It's a pity that Huo Qubing did not solve the problem of the Western Regions, leaving behind future troubles, so that Li Guangli's expedition to Ershi City was born.

The reason for this situation cannot be blamed on Huo Quai. Huo Quzhi's main task at that time was to cut off the right arm of the Xiongnu, and he had to deal with the Xiongnu, not the Western Regions. Moreover, the troops he led were too small, only 20,000 elites, and it was impossible to subdue the Western Regions in one fell swoop, so he left a tail.

If Huo Qubing had led more troops at that time, not 20,000, but 58,000, it would have deterred the Western Regions, and the countries in the Western Regions would have been afraid, and there would have been no "covering up and killing the Han envoys", and there would have been no Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordering Li Guangli to go west.

Li Guangli attacked the Second Division City, and later generations performed countless versions, most of them thought that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was desperate and wanted the Heavenly Horse of the Second Division City, so he sent troops. Actually, this is a big mistake.

The real reason that forced Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to order troops to the Western Regions was that the countries in the Western Regions were jealous of the goods of the envoys of the Han Dynasty, and they always killed the Han envoys. Such a big event is provoking the majesty of the Han Dynasty and has to be punished. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Li Guangli to march westward.

The first attack on the Western Regions, because of insufficient preparation, Li Guangli lost the battle, which angered Emperor Wu of Han and forbade him to return. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even sent envoys to block the road, if Li Guangli dared to come back and kill him on the spot, Li Guangli was afraid, so he had to stay honestly.

After the preparations were completed, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops again, led by Li Guangli, and attacked the Western Regions again. This time. The fight frightened the Western Regions. The Second Division City begged for mercy.

After this battle, the countries of the Western Regions were afraid, and they no longer dared to look at the wealth of the Han envoys, let alone kill the Han envoys. Not only did he not dare to blush, but he also had to offer the Han envoy as an ancestor.

Qin Yiren's idea of fighting is that if he doesn't fight, he will only fight, and since he wants to fight, he must be afraid of the Western Regions. The Western Regions did not dare to rebel again. In order to achieve this goal, we must not repeat the mistake of Huo Qu's disease, but must send troops on a large scale. It became inevitable to dispatch 50,000 Qin army soldiers.

After the selection of 50,000 elites was completed, Qin Yiren gave an order, and the rest of the Qin army took the spoils of war and began to retreat towards Guanzhong with important Xiongnu figures such as Shan Yu and Zuo Xianwang.

"Childe, how are you going to fight this battle?" In the Kuhara County Guardhouse. Qin Yiren summoned the generals to discuss the military aircraft again, and some generals asked: "Fifty thousand troops are dispatched." This logistics is a big problem, how to solve it? ”

"Yes. The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, if the baggage cannot be solved, this battle will be difficult to fight. The generals echoed in unison.

"Childe, according to my wishes, we should send someone to send a message to the Longxi County Guard, asking them to transport the baggage." Huang Shigong raised his eyebrows and was busy coming up with ideas.

Hutu, Hun Evil, Loulan, Lou Fu, and Lin Hu are mainly in the Hexi Corridor, which is now Ningxia and Gansu, and it is very suitable to transport baggage from Longxi, and Huangshi Gong has a good plan.

"Nope." Qin Yiren shook his head and said, "In this battle, we don't need to be burdened. ”

"Don't be heavy?" An exclamation rang out.

Not only were the generals surprised, but even Huang Shigong, Wei Yu, and Li Mu were also surprised, and their eyes widened as if they were listening to the Arabian Nights.

Since ancient times, there has been an ancient adage that "before the soldiers and horses move, grain and grass go first", and the importance of grain and grass to an army does not need to be said. Qin Yiren said that there was no need to be burdened, which was beyond their cognition, so they couldn't help but be surprised.

"That's right! No need to carry weight! Qin Yiren affirmed again and said, "Each person has two horses, one to ride, and one to transport grain and grass." ”

This is indeed a good way, but it can't last, Wei Yu hurriedly said: "Childe, although this is feasible, it can't last, and there will always be a time when the grain and grass will run out." This is a desert, once the grain and grass are used up, where to raise them? ”

"Yes, Childe, think twice." Huang Shigong and Li Mu echoed in unison.

"What's so hard about that?" Qin Yiren was not the same thing, and said: "If you find a foreign race, you don't need to talk nonsense with them, just kill them." After killing, rob food, cattle and sheep, and horses. As long as you fight a few battles, you will have too much food and grass to run out. ”

Qin Yiren is going to implement the strategy of "fighting to feed war". It's a bit bloody, but it's a great way to fight in the desert.

Historically, Huo Qubing attacked the Hexi Corridor twice, and the total number of troops he led was only 30,000 horses. The Hun army entrenched in the Hexi Corridor was as high as 240,000, and he actually won, which was still a great victory, because of the way he adopted the "war to feed the war".

The Han army he led did not carry heavy baggage, it was lightly armed, which ensured his marching speed, and could come and go like the wind, he could always be in a place where the Huns could not think of time and imagination, and suddenly killed in a way that the Huns could not imagine, and the Huns were miserable, with heavy casualties, and finally Huo Qubing cut off the Huns' right arm.

"Childe, it's good, it's just a little ......" a general hesitated and didn't say anything.

"It's a bit bloody and brutal, isn't it?" He didn't say it, but Qin Yiren helped him say it, saying: "In this battle, Great Qin is to promote the might of the army, or to kill a river of blood, so that these aliens will suffer!" Let them be afraid! Just let go and kill! If you can, kill them all! If you can grab it, you can grab it all! Don't keep your hands dirty! ”

This is the first time that Huaxia has used troops against the Hexi Corridor, and these alien races must know how powerful Huaxia is, so that they will be honest, surrender, and dare not rebel again.

"Good plan!" After Qin Yiren's explanation, the generals suddenly had no objections.

When the time came, 50,000 Qin troops gathered outside Jiuyuan City, and Qin Yiren came on horseback surrounded by generals. Coming to the front of the battle, Qin Yiren pulled the reins of his horse and said to the soldiers of the Qin army: "Brothers: We have just won a great victory in the desert, captured Shan Yu alive, and dug the ancestral grave of the Huns!" That's not enough, we have to fight another big victory! We want to make Hugh Tu, Hun Evil, Lou Lan, Lou Fu, and Lin Hu tremble! Weep! ”

"Long live Great Qin!" The soldiers of the Qin army erupted into a terrifying roar, and everyone held their heads high, and their fighting spirit was blazing.

"Let's go!" Qin Yiren patted the horse's back, took the lead and galloped straight to the west.

"Rumble!" The earth-shattering sound of hooves was like thunder, and the 50,000 Qin troops swept west like a black wave. (To be continued.) )
