Chapter Twenty-Nine: Civil Strife [4k, Ask for Subscription]
Han Xin didn't know about the affairs of Xianyang City, but he could guess a few points.
A few days ago, people from Daqin came from the south and went to the Xiongnu wolf tent, Meng Tian and him, the Mengjia army and others were stationed on the frontier, how could they not know about this matter?
If they really don't know anything, and let people go to the Xiongnu from under their noses, they might as well find a rope and hang themselves.
The sky was bright, and the night sky in the distance echoed with the stars.
Han Xin turned his head, and Meng Tian was standing in front of him at this time, his expression was equally dark.
"How are you ready?"
Before Meng Tian was stationed on the frontier, he already knew the plans of the emperor and Chen Ke, Wang Jian and others, and when he did not threaten Great Qin, he was naturally willing to listen to Han Xin's plans.
came to garrison in northern Xinjiang to give Han Xin a chance.
An opportunity to strangle the Huns and make great contributions, whether it is Meng Tian and Chen Ke, or Wang Qian, there is no conflict.
Naturally, he is willing to give this face.
Han Xin looked at the Xiongnu steppe surrounded by mountains in the distance, and seemed to see the Xiongnu king's account surrounded by mountains and forests through the mountains and endless clouds in the sky.
His hands rubbed unconsciously, and Han Xin was prone to such small movements when he was thinking.
"It's a very simple thing."
Han Xin's eyes were a little erratic, as if he was thinking and hesitating about something: "It's just that I'm hesitating, which method should I use."
He turned his head and looked at Meng Tian.
It can be said that in that turbulent time, whether it was in the unification of Great Qin, if it was said that there were only two generals who made Han Xin respect very much.
One is General Wang Jian Wang, and the other is General Meng Tian in front of him.
"General Meng, what do you think we should do now?"
Meng Tian shook his head slightly, suggesting that a little calm flashed on his silent face, he naturally had his own plans in his heart, but he was not prepared to say anything that would affect Han Xin's judgment.
It's not a big deal to have him at the bottom of the table left and right.
Seeing this, Han Xin also understood Meng Tian's thoughts, if a military general wanted to truly gain a foothold in Great Qin, then the best way was naturally to make an irrefutable contribution.
And now, the credit is in front of him.
After a little silence, he said, "The Xiongnu are not as good as the Six Kingdoms, although they are barbarians, but because they are on the grassland, their cavalry has always been very strong."
"Especially their wolf riders."
"The power of the wolf rider, although the current Great Qin can fight and has a way to fight, it will inevitably have casualties."
"I want to trade as few casualties as possible for the greatest victory over the Huns."
Meng Tian glanced at Han Xin, if someone else said something like this, he would definitely have a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart.
Because it's really an unlikely thing to do.
But when Han Xin said such a thing, Meng Tian had some expectations, he could see Han Xin's generals, not the generals who talked on paper like Zhao Kuo back then.
But if you really have some ability, you still need to have a strong war to be able to see it.
Now this opportunity is in front of Han Xin.
….
Han Xin said in a low voice, "Perhaps, it would be better to use some more secure methods."
Meng Tian chuckled, "Where did you get the safe way?"
He pointed to the gloomy night in the distance and said, "Do you think that the soldiers under this night did not have the consciousness of death before they came here?"
"Han Xin, Ci is not in charge of the army."
"It's understandable that they're afraid of death, but it's understandable that you're afraid of their death."
"Wars are always bloody, how can a war exist without sacrifice?"
"If you've been thinking about reducing casualties, then in the final war, there will be more casualties."
"Looking ahead, it's not the soldiers who do it for the generals."
"I don't think I need to tell you any more truths, right?"
Han Xin just stood there silently, facing the cold wind on the grassland, the wind of the cold winter wax moon was already cold, and the cold of the moon made it even colder.
He didn't refute Meng Tian's words, but just said something else.
"The Xiongnu side is not monolithic, the Khan of the Xiongnu dotes on his young son, but his eldest son is originally from the predecessor Yu clan, and is very supported by some tribes within the Xiongnu."
"And his eldest son, Mao Dun, is also quite powerful among the Xiongnu tribes."
Han Xin slowly but firmly analyzed the distribution of power among the Xiongnu: "Although the tribe of the former Yu clan is not as strong as the Khan's, it is also a large force."
"Now that the Xiongnu Khan is getting older, the position of this khan is like a piece of fat thrown into the wolves, and all the hungry wolves are watching."
"A young son with no strength, no power, not even brains, only the Khan's favor."
"A firstborn son with power, supporters, brains, and majesty."
"How long can an old wolf with its fierce teeth and claws falling out be able to suppress those vicious wolves?"
Han Xin's eyes were a little ruthless, when facing the Great Qin soldiers, he was a bodhisattva and wanted to minimize the damage, but when facing the Hun soldiers, he became the most ferocious Shura.
Decisive killing.
"Besides, didn't our spies also get news?"
"The person who contacted Dong'anjun before, General Meng, do you think, what did he do when he contacted Dong'anjun?"
Meng Tian's eyes flashed slightly, and then he said with a smile, "It's very simple, he wants to use the power of Dong Anjun to pave the way for himself to become a khan."
Han Xin nodded slightly: "Maybe His Royal Highness the Prince of the Huns, or His Royal Highness the King Zuo Xian, has not had such a thought, but he must have this kind of thought."
"In that case, why can't we take advantage of it?"
This is a good opportunity for Daqin, and it is indeed an opportunity to take advantage of.
If this opportunity can be taken advantage of, in the next war, the damage of the Great Qin soldiers will indeed be minimized.

….
Meng Tian looked at Han Xin and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I'm not good at this, but you're a good learner."
His eyes were filled with appreciation.
Meng Tian's age is similar to that of Ying Zheng, the two are friends, and his age is not small in this era, he can be regarded as a "veteran".
He didn't regard Han Xin as an opponent, because Han Xin was only a half-grown teenager at this time.
By the time this half-grown boy can reach his position, he may have already returned to the heavens, or he may have already returned to the heavens, or he may have already returned to the fields.
"Soldiers, treacherous."
Meng Tian looked at Han Xin and said with a smile after saying this, "This is a sentence mentioned by Sun Wu in the Art of War, but not all people who use soldiers are like this."
He said with a little silence: "Han Xin, every military general who can leave a strong mark in the history must have his own style."
"Such as General Wang's "Gang", my "straight", Lian Po's "stability", Li Mu's "Qi", there were so many famous generals in that period of history of the Seven Kingdoms, why are only the four of us called the "Four Famous Generals" by the Qing History, and the world recognizes and circulates them?"
"It's because although we learned the Art of War, we didn't follow Sun Wu's character."
Meng Tian's words were a bit serious: "If you want to become the top player, then you must have your own style."
"If you keep walking the continuation of others, then you will live or
Xu can only become a "good general", but he can never become a "famous general."
Han Xin listened to Meng Tian's teachings, and immediately said, "Thank you General Meng for your guidance, Han Xin will keep it in mind and will not dare to forget it."
The wind on the steppe in the distance was constantly blowing, and everything was as usual.
But only those who stand at the tuyere of the grassland can perceive the smell of the wind.
It was a fierce prelude to war.

Huns
Zhang Xilong sat in the tent with worry in his eyes, he hadn't received a letter from Dong Anjun for several days.
That's not a good thing for him.
What Dong Anjun wants to do in Xianyang City, he knows very clearly, and he also knows that if things fail, even the result of failure.
That's what he's facing now.
He kept stroking the table in front of him to soothe the anxiety in his heart.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the big tent.
Zhang Xilong turned his head reluctantly, looked at the scenery outside the big tent, and walked in alone.
Mao Dun looked at Zhang Xilong's appearance and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
He knew some Daqin dialect, so there was no problem in communicating with Zhang Xilong.
"Who is Envoy Zhang waiting for?"
"Are you waiting for a letter from Great Qin? Or are you waiting for someone from the king's account?"
Zhang Xilong's heart was very anxious and depressed at this time, but he still restrained his emotions and maintained his sanity.
"The eldest prince laughed, if you say waiting for the letter from Daqin, it's true, if you say that you are waiting for the person who is waiting for the king's account, I don't know what this means."
"Please make it clear to the eldest prince."
….
Mao Dun looked at Zhang Xilong again, and then he smiled and apologized and said, "Envoy Zhang smiled, recently I heard that my brother who is not angry has been in contact with Envoy Zhang, and I thought that Envoy Zhang wanted to cooperate with my brother when he saw the situation of our tribe."
"That's why I asked."
He arched his hand and used the etiquette of the Central Plains.
The look on Zhang Xilong's face was much better, and he also said with a smile on his face: "The eldest prince doesn't need to be polite, he should ask more about the current situation."
He sighed and said, "It's just that I may not be able to cooperate with the eldest prince anymore."
Before Mao Dun could react, Zhang Xilong said, "Presumably the eldest prince also knows, I haven't received a letter from Daqin for a long time."
"What my lord is planning, I think the eldest prince also knows."
"And the power and ruthlessness of the First Emperor, the eldest prince must have understood it in the past few years."
"Therefore, I suspect that the Lord has..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xilong just sighed, sounding very painful.
Mao Dun was a little curious, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "When Envoy Zhang said this, aren't you afraid that after I hear it, I will feel that you are useless and execute you?"
The topic was serious, and as soon as Maudun's words landed, the atmosphere in the entire tent changed, and it became cold and solemn.
Zhang Xilong smiled meaninglessly: "Even if I don't say it at this time, won't the eldest prince know?"
"During my time in the Xiongnu, your ministry should have controlled my every move, right?"
"I haven't received a letter from Daqin for a long time, so I guess the eldest prince knows better than me."
"Now that the eldest prince is here, I'm afraid it's just for this matter."
Mao Dun looked at Zhang Xilong and smiled slightly, the expression on his face looked very satisfied.
"Envoy Zhang is right, your every move is under our surveillance, and we naturally know these things."
He shook his head and said, "Or rather, we shouldn't say we know, only that I do
for I did not tell my father about it."
Zhang Xilong was also a smart person, and immediately asked, "What does the eldest prince need me to do?"
Mao Dun was even more satisfied, he looked at Zhang Xilong and said, "You are a Qin person, and I need a Qin person, a strong ally."
"Even if this ally no longer exists at this time, as long as the people of the tribe don't know, then this ally will still have a deterrent effect."
"Does Envoy Zhang understand what I mean?"
Zhang Xilong was slightly stunned, and then reacted in an instant, he looked at Mao Dun and said, "I see."
He sighed a little: "Is the eldest prince ready to do it?"
Mao Dun nodded, and said at a long time, "I don't want to do it at this time, but I don't have time."
"If I don't do it again, I'm afraid that in a few years, there will be no place for me in this tribe."
"My father shouldn't have forced me to this extent, and I was forced to make a choice."
Zhang Xilong looked at Mao Dun, and just asked, "So, what exactly does the eldest prince need me to do?" But can you tell me?"
Maudun didn't hesitate at all: "Naturally, I want to inform you."
"Listen to me."
.............
In another tent.
Touman Khan sat in the king's tent, his eyes full of coldness and violence, and he knew exactly how many people were worried about his position now.
Even among these people was that good son of his.
This is something he can't accept, but there is no way not to accept it.
Touman couldn't do anything.
Because his children have grown up and are no longer under his control.
He was already like a wounded, powerless lone wolf, so he could only look at his own wounds.
The candle flame in the tent flickered, reflecting his shadow, which looked very fragile.
Sweet and sour workers
