Chapter 378: Northern Expedition Plan

In an enclosed chamber, a few oil lamps bring a glimmer of light. Ying Zhenggao, dressed in a black dragon suit, sat on the main seat, surrounded by Li Si and other important ministers of Great Qin.

"I don't want to know how many Hun prisoners you captured this time, nor do I want to know how many Hun soldiers you killed, I just want to know if the Huns were destroyed."

Ying Zheng was the first to speak, and this mouth was full of murderous energy, and a chilling cold light shot out of his eyes.

Li Simengtian and the others frowned slightly, although they already knew what the combat goal of this northern attack on the Huns was.

But war is war after all, it's not like a sentence, you can touch your upper and lower lips, it's easy to say, but if you really do it, I'm afraid it's as difficult as the sky.

In particular, the mobility of the Xiongnu is much higher than that of Daqin, once the other party really wants to let go and escape, even if the Daqin soldiers have four legs, they may not be able to catch up.

As the general of Great Qin, Meng Tian has been guarding the frontier for many years, and he knows that this goal is really difficult to accomplish.

Although he is now a little unhappy when he is secretly defeated by Yingzheng's reputation, after all, Daqin has been beaten down by several generations, and he also has feelings for him. If this is due to the haste to obtain the war goal, there is a high risk of accidents. couldn't help but want to speak, but was stopped by Chen Feng, who was sitting on the side.

Although the plan of the Arctic Xiongnu was proposed by himself, Ying Zheng's heart had long wanted to use the grasslands in the north as Daqin's horse ranches and train Daqin's cavalry.

Especially after providing saddles and other things, the top and bottom of Daqin, whether it was Yingzheng or the generals who were sitting in the know, also thought that it would be the world of cavalry in the future, and the infantry was likely to be only used as an auxiliary. In this way, Yingzheng's thoughts were even more firm.

"Your Majesty, the destruction of the Xiongnu is by no means an overnight thing, it will take several generations to work together. This time, we only need to fight the Huns to bow down and be vassals.

When the time comes, the poor road has its own way to wipe out the fortunes of the Xiongnu country."

Chen Feng said on the side, at this time, his own speech is definitely more effective than Meng Tian's speech. And I don't want accidents to happen, otherwise it is very likely to pose a great threat to the situation in the future.

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and nodded slightly. Although he has never commanded an army to fight, he also knows that fighting is the power of a country, and once he loses this battle, it will be a huge blow to Great Qin.

It is very likely that some remnants of the Six Kingdoms will take the opportunity to cause chaos, they want the elixir of life, but they don't want to see Great Qin fall apart.

"In that case, then the national teacher will take a look at how far it will go."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he kept silent, and quietly looked at the people around Li Si, wanting to see the reactions of a few people.

"Your Majesty is saying that those who want to govern the army must first choose a general.

This northern attack on the Xiongnu is definitely a big deal for Daqin, and the generals must be cautious.

I beg Your Majesty to let General Meng return to the frontier and command the 200,000 Qin troops in the northern frontier."

After Li Si looked at everyone, he closed his eyes and thought for a while, and took the lead in standing up and looking at Yingzheng with a solemn face.

"Accurate".

To Chen Feng's surprise, Ying Zheng didn't even think about it, and directly agreed to Li Si's request.

This kind of thing not only surprised Chen Feng's expectations, but even the ministers present were a little unable to react, and even some of them were ready to admonish to the death.

After a brief moment of stunned, Li Si sat back, thinking about Yingzheng's unusual behavior.

The inexplicable removal of Meng Tian from his post before had already made everyone feel a little unbelievable, thinking that Meng Tian had done something unforgivable, which made the emperor feel angry. But now he didn't even think about it, so it seemed a bit unexpected to let Meng Tianguan reinstate.

Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the people below with a thoughtful face, and in his heart he was secretly satisfied with the monarch, how could he let the king's thoughts be guessed by his subordinates.

As for letting Meng Tian re-command the 200,000 Qin army, it was also his own helpless move. The northern attack on the Xiongnu is too important for Great Qin, and there are only a few people who are handsome in the entire court.

And Meng Tian has been on the frontier all the year round, has fought against the Xiongnu many times, and is familiar with the Xiongnu's combat methods and even the minds of the Xiongnu.

"This northern attack on the Xiongnu is the top priority, and it is very likely that the 200,000 Qin army will not be able to completely annihilate the Xiongnu.

I plan to send 200,000 Qin troops from South Vietnam to increase the Yuanyuan, and another 100,000 troops from the Beijing army to garrison the Great Wall, so that in case of danger, we can reinforce them in time."

Ying Zheng's reopening made everyone a little caught off guard again, especially Li Si's brows were deeply furrowed.

As the logistics commander of the army, Li Si's burden can be said to be much greater than that of Meng Tian. Originally, 300,000 troops of grain and grass had been prepared, but now the emperor has sent 500,000 troops.

"Your Majesty, whether the army is mobilized too much this time, the situation on the South Vietnamese side is a little unstable, once the 200,000 troops are withdrawn to the north, I am afraid that Zhao Tuo's side will not be able to suppress the local natives."

Li Si could only stand up and remind him tactfully. After all, once the army really collapses on the front line due to logistical problems, he, the commander-in-chief of logistics, will inevitably bear the greatest responsibility.

"Zhao Tuo's affairs, I have my own arrangements."

Ying Zheng said casually, but there was indeed a killing intent in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up, so that everyone didn't notice it.

"General Meng, I have one more thing to entrust to you."

Then Ying Zheng turned his gaze to Meng Tian, and when Meng Tian saw this, he hurriedly stood up and bowed to Ying Zheng.

"Although Fusu has more than 20 years this year, he has never lived in the army, and he cannot share the weal and woe with the soldiers.

I plan to attack the Xiongnu in the north this time, so I will send Fusu to you, first, to let him see the cruelty of war, and secondly, to learn from you the ability to lead the army and deploy the formation."

Ying Zheng's words were very relaxed, and they seemed to be just plain literal, but none of the people here were old foxes.

I immediately understood what Yingzheng meant, but he was just planning to send Fusu there as a supervisor.

"Decree of the Minister".

Meng Tian also understood in his heart, and was even a little relieved.

Since ancient times, the army must have the emperor's cronies when it goes out to war, and it exists as a supervising army. Since ancient times, I don't know how many wars there were, and it was precisely because of the misdeeds of these prison guards that the situation was out of control.

Fusu's personality is still clear to himself, what should be done and what should not be done will never be asked. More importantly, the relationship between the two is also very close, and there will never be private disputes, which will affect the march of the army.
