Collect people's hearts.

Friendship with people.

Since he came to this era, Li Yuan has never had the luxury of hoping that the domineering spirit of ascending to the heights and gathering of followers will come to him, so whether it is facing Zhang Han or Wang Li, he is facing it with a calm and calm attitude, no matter what the other party's attitude is, Li Yuan only does what he should do.

The Border Army was a special group in the Qin Army.

How to deal with the relationship with this professional military group, Li Yuan also took a lot of thought.

In the battle of Julu, Wang Li, Su Jiao, and Menghu were defeated by the coalition army of the Kwantung princes led by Xiang Yu, the veteran general Shijian was killed, and the elite of the 200,000 border army was almost wiped out.

At that time, Li Yuan's situation was not very good, he had just consumed Liliang in a civil war with Zhao Gao, and at this time, he could completely overwhelm people and annex the border army, but Li Yuan did not do this.

Subsequently, Wang Li still chose to return to Jiuyuan to develop independently under the difficult situation that Li Yuan had to give up Xianyang, retreat to Yongqi, and face the double oppression of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, and Li Yuan did not blame anything.

It's still the same old saying, just because you save someone doesn't mean that others must save you too. Li Yuan felt that his difficulties could only be solved by himself, and he could not expect others to help him.

Later, the border army was attacked by the ghost tribe, and tens of thousands of border people fell into the flames of war.

This time and again, even the hard-hearted people will be moved.

Li Yuan's magnanimity and generosity finally convinced Wang Liyue, who had always been unconvinced.

"Shenhou, he is only about twenty years old, how can he understand so much. Could it be that it was instructed by Prime Minister Li Cheng, and it doesn't seem to be either, it is rumored that Li Cheng has been ignoring the Shenhou all along-! In front of Li Yuan, Wang Li once again felt that he was like a recruit who had just entered the battlefield, with many things that needed to be supplemented and improved.

Li Yuan didn't have the time to guess what Wang Li was thinking, he faced Yang Wengzi, Meng Qingyu and other border army generals, and said loudly: "Everyone, the border army is an army with a glorious tradition, and the border army is also the sharpest knife in my Great Qin. The border army is a guarantee to protect our Great Qin frontier from external humiliation! ”

"In the near future, the glory of the Great Qin Border Army will continue to be inherited, the banner of the border army will flutter on a broader land, and the athletes of our border army will shout to conquer the Kwantung region, conquer the grassland, and conquer the farther west!"

"You, the most outstanding general in the border army, do you have the confidence to accept this glorious task, tell me loudly, do you have the confidence and courage?"

Li Yuan kept talking. His eyes became brighter and brighter, and his gestures became more and more powerful, at this time, in the eyes of Yang Wengzi and Meng Qingyu, the border generals. The young and excessively Shenwu Marquis in front of him was like a god who could perform witchcraft, which made them feel inspired and fascinated.

Become the sharp knife of Great Qin.

Conquer the vast Gobi and steppe.

Plant the banner of Great Qin in a distant foreign land.

What could be more inspiring the passion and dreams of the border army generals than such words, and there is no more. Li Yuan's words have deeply moved them.

"Shenhou, if there really is such a day. I, Meng Qingyu, died in battle outside the territory, and I was willing. Meng Qingyu shouted excitedly and said.

The defeat of the ancestor Meng Mingshi in the Confused Mountain is one of the few famous defeats in the history of the Qin army, since Meng Qingyu joined the army, what he always dreamed of was to wash away the shame for the ancestors of the Meng family, and Li Yuan's encouragement made him see the direction and goal in the confusion.

"Shenhou, the last general Yang Wengzi is willing to go out with Captain Meng to serve the country." Yang Wengzi also assured that the rest of the border army generals also stepped forward to ask for orders when they saw this scene.

"Ladies and gentlemen, at the beginning of spring next year, the imperial court will send a group of new soldiers to Jiuyuan and join the sequence of the border army, and at the same time, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the various departments in the border as soon as possible, a group of generals will also be selected to serve in other departments, you must be prepared, I hope that every general and colonel who goes out of the border army can proudly declare that I am from Jiuyuan, and I am an officer of the border army."

Military Heart is available.

Li Yuan looked at the generals in the border army with satisfaction one by one, these generals with rich combat experience are the precious wealth of the Qin army, how to properly arrange them is the key to improving the overall combat effectiveness of the Qin army in a short period of time.

30,000 border troops.

After Su Jiao led his headquarters of 5,000 cavalry to the south, the border army stationed in Jiuyuan continued to maintain the scale of 30,000 people, and the existence of this powerful Qin army made the Huns in the north only look at the rich Hetao grassland and sigh.

――。

The military morale of the border army was reined in, and the northern border of the Qin State was temporarily stabilized.

Li Yuan continued his territorial patrol and research route, this kind of pro-people and pro-army practice is actually not new, you do not see that every time there is a change of regime, the new leader will always work tirelessly to trek through mountains and rivers, visit every representative place under his rule, and while swearing sovereignty, he is also experiencing the customs and cultural features of various places.

This tradition is still in full play today, more than 2,000 years ago.

On the day he left Jiuyuan, the sky once again fluttered with heavy snow like leaves, pure white and clean, melted on his lips, and even a trace of sweetness.

Wang Li personally took a group of border generals to see him off.

Yang Wengzi and Meng Qingyu each took a team of personal horses and escorted them all the way to the junction of Jiuyuan County and Longxi County, although they only got along for three or four days, but in the hearts of Yang and Meng, they had already begun to regard Li Yuan as a member of the border army.

Longxi.

Located in the westernmost and northwestern part of the Qin State, this large county was geographically important, and more importantly, the face of the Qin State was one of the most ferocious opponents of this era: the Xiongnu.

In the time and space when Li Yuan did not come, Liu Bang was beaten by Mao Dun and cried his father and mother, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and Zuihou escaped by bribing the woman to escape.

It is expected that in the next few years, Mao Dun, the commander of the Huns, will reach a terrifying 500,000 people, and Li Yuan has not yet arrogantly believed that the more than 100,000 Qin troops under his command can withstand the overwhelming offensive of the Huns.

Time is running out for myself.

In the spring of the new year, Li Yuan decided to take the initiative to launch an offensive against the Kwantung princes. Instead of being reactive as before.

Before attacking, Li Yuan also needed to have a comprehensive understanding of the situation in the territory of Qin, especially when it came to life and death, Jiuyuan was one place, and Longxi was another.

Li Yuan's car stopped at Di Dao.

In addition to Luo Jia, the county guard of Longxi, and Li Zheng, the county commander, Bai Guangji, who had long been responsible for spying on the military intelligence of the Huns in Hexi and the north, also returned to the territory of Qin.

This descendant of Bai Qi, after several years of crawling outside the Saiwai, has been able to speak fluent Xiongnu dialect, and his eyebrows and eyes are no different from a Hun people.

"Divine Marquis, we-. I thought I'd never see you again. As soon as Bai Guangji saw Li Yuan, the tower-like man fell to his knees, and his voice was choked.

"Bai Junhou, no, General Bai, you have suffered and tired all these years, I remember it in my heart." Li Yuan was also excited, and helped Bai Guangji up, and said.

Among the many generals who followed Li Yuan. The most courageous is Cao Xin, the most proud is Luo Jia, the most relaxed is Li Bi, and the longest is Wang Shang. The shortest is Li Zhongxiang, and the most bitter and tiring is undoubtedly Bai Guangji.

Infiltrating the enemy's territory alone, and shouldering an important mission, Bai Guangji can say. At any time, I live with my head on the belt of my trousers.

Moreover, with the brutal practice of the Huns who liked to cut off the enemy's head and drowning the pot at night, Bai Guangji, an important figure in the Qin army, was once captured. The end can be imagined.

"Shenhou, the Huns sent troops to occupy Daze a few days ago, and the northern line to the west was completely cut off, and the two great powers in the Western Regions north of Daze, Loulan and Qiuci, are now warm, and the Dayue clan continued to move westward after the defeat, and the current location has reached the Tianshan area, and those Hu merchants from the west have had to go to the southern line of Khotan." Bai Guangji's expression was serious, and after a short salute, he told Li Yuan about the situation in the west of the Qin State.

"Is it possible that Maudun will cross the great desert in a year or two and attack Khotan or the area of Shule further west?" Li Yuanyi frowned and asked.

The struggle for control of the Western Regions was a struggle for ownership of the Silk Road, which was extremely important for the future development of the Qin state. But now, it is clear that the center of gravity of the Qin state must also be inclined to the east, and only by first solving the princes of the Kwantung region can the Qin army turn back to the west.

Bai Guangji pondered for a while, and said: "Inside the Xiongnu, now some small tribes have been annexed, and the Liliang who opposed Maudun has been exterminated one by one, even if there are dissenting people, it will not become any climate, and there is only one way to make the Huns stop the pace of expansion to the south, lure him to continue to pursue the Dayue clan westward!" ”

"Does the Great Moon Clan still have the strength to fight against the Huns?" Li Yuan asked.

The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions are all small countries of the nature of some city-states, and their armies can reach 10,000 people are already considered big states, and they have to rely on them to confront the Huns, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Bai Guangji shook his head and said: "After the Dayue clan lost Hexi, they have been retreating to the west, what is their situation now, even the Hu merchants who come and go are not very clear, if you want to know the real situation, you can only send an envoy to go." ”

Li Yuan looked at Bai Guangji's slightly hunched figure, and asked earnestly: "The royal seal of the King of the Xiaoyue Clan is still in my hands, I will repair a letter with the King of the Yue Clan, and invite the alliance to fight against the Huns, General Bai, are you willing to take on this important task and send the Great Yue Clan to my Great Qin." ”

Bai Guangji was stunned, knelt on one knee for a while, and said, "The last general will obey the order of the gods." As long as there is a life, we must live up to our mission. It's just that the old mother in the family is old, and she asks the god to take care of it. ”

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Guangji is here, thousands of rivers and mountains, I don't know how difficult it is, I will give you another capable deputy general, Zhong Xiang, are you willing to accompany General Bai to envoy Yueshi." ”

Li Zhongxiang, who was behind Li Yuan, strode out, clasped his palms without fear and said: "The last general is willing to go, even if he fights for his life on this trip, he should protect General Bai to return safely." ”

"Your two trips to the Western Regions are not only for the Dayue Clan, although the countries of the Western Regions are weak, but if they are united, they can also deal with the Huns, you can act with the camera, don't be impulsive and reckless." Li Yuan instructed.

"The last general has written it down." Bai and Li listened to them one by one, wrote them down, and then went down to prepare. (To be continued......)

PS: Xiao Lizi is going to conquer the Western Regions, this Ban Chao can kill the Huns with thirty-six people, how can Li Zhongxiang be bad, haha. I feel that haode gives a ticket and will continue tomorrow.
