Chapter 495: Sacrifice
Chapter 495
"As long as 100,000 soldiers and horses are in the northeast Yandi, the king of Donghu will not dare to act rashly." Qin Xi said.
"I'm afraid that the king of Donghu will be frightened and form an alliance with the Huns." Meng Tian said.
"If it's just a simple garrison, it is indeed possible for King Donghu to join forces with the Huns, so while garrisoning troops, we must also give him a hope." Qin Xi said.
"Hope? How to give? Meng Tian asked. Qin Xi said: "Outside of Yandi, there is also a small country, the Ji country. Our army of 100,000 troops, while deterring Donghu, can eat this Ji country,"
"Give the king of Donghu a false impression, that is, the purpose of our army is the country of Ji, not his Donghu. But I also want him to understand that when my Great Qin made a move against the Xiongnu, if Donghu dared to help the Xiongnu, then the 100,000 army could also make a move against Donghu at any time. ”
"In this case, the 100,000 troops on the Eastern Front can't attack the Ji Kingdom too fast, but it can't be too slow, so as not to make the Donghu King feel that this 100,000 army is not a threat to him." Lees said.
"So, when attacking the Mini country, we need to find something to do." Qin Xi said: "If there is a gold mine in the land of the Ji country, our army can use this as an excuse to find gold mines while fighting, delaying time." ”
"Is there really a gold mine in Minokoku?" Xiao He asked. Qin Xi glanced at Xiao He speechlessly, and said, "The ghost knows if there is, but we say that there is, that is, there is, the important thing is not whether there is a gold mine, but time." "Qin Xi knows that this Xiao He guy is quite greedy for money, but he is not greedy for himself, but for the country.
"The minister thinks that His Highness can do this. Donghu has been cleaned up by our Great Qin border army in recent years, and he is already very afraid of my Great Qin, and the 100,000 army is like a stone pressing on Donghu's heart. And sending troops to the country of Ji also gives Donghu a hope, so that Donghu will not jump off the wall in a hurry," Li Si said.
"But under what pretext are you going to send troops to the Mini country? You can't be nameless. Yao Jia said. The First Emperor smiled: "The reason was sent by the Ji Kingdom before." Yin Long, the former ruler of the Ji Kingdom, intended to assassinate the prince of Great Qin. The crowd nodded, and that was enough.
The grand strategy has basically been decided, and the next question is the issue of soldiers and commanders. The First Emperor planned to let Qin Xi command an army, after all, Qin Xi's ability to smile could indeed do it.
But Qin Xi directly refused.
"Your Majesty, Erchen thinks that it is best for Erchen to stay in the rear and receive the sinners in this battle, because only Erchen knows how to settle these sinners." Qin Xi said.
The First Emperor thought about it, and it did make sense. There are many generals in Great Qin, more than Qin Xi can fight, there is really no need to let Qin Xi be the commander of that army, but Qin Xi should be put in a better position, and then everyone stood on the map of the grassland and discussed for a long time, and finally the First Emperor made the decision and decided everything.
After discussion, it was decided that Meng Tian would be the chief commander and Wang Ben would be the deputy marshal, leading 500,000 troops to conquer the Xiongnu.
In the east, Fusu was the chief commander, and Yang Runhe was the deputy commander, leading 100,000 troops, and sending troops to the Kei State to deter Donghu.
Xiao He was in charge of all the logistics of the two armies, and Yao Jia and Li Si assisted Qin Xi in dealing with the affairs of the criminals and the construction of Luoyang City.
When Qin Xi left Xianyang Palace, it was already almost evening.
"Exhausted!" After Qin Xi walked out of Xianyang Palace, he stretched his waist, and then said to the few people behind him: "I have a treat today, let's go drink together." Meng Tian arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, let's change the day, now that the plan for the Northern Expedition has been decided, I still have to go back and prepare quickly, and this wine should be drunk after the Northern Expedition." ”
"Lord Taiwei is right, Your Highness, this good wine is not afraid of being late, and after I Daqin dominates the grassland, this wine will be comfortable to drink." Yao Jia said with a smile.
"In that case, then I will keep this wine for now, and then drink it after the grassland becomes my Great Qin territory!" Qin Xi said with a smile.
······ At this time, Ji Guo didn't know that he was already in the midst of a catastrophe. The current king of the Kei Kingdom, Kei Chang, can also be regarded as a capable person.
After the disappearance of Yin Long, he ascended to the throne until now, and he has governed the Kei country in an orderly manner, and even annexed the southern part of the peninsula, basically unifying the entire Korean Peninsula.
But Ji Chang understands that now the country of Ji seems to be strong, but there is a behemoth next to the country of Ji that can destroy the country at any time.
When Ji Chang first became king, he really had to honor Daqin every year. But in the last two years, Ji Chang has stopped this filial piety.
It's not that Ji Chang is not afraid of Da Qin, but that Da Qin didn't pay attention to Ji Chang's filial piety at all, so Ji Chang never got a reply, so he stopped.
On this day, after Ji Chang drove to the court, he retreated from all the people around him, and then came to the forbidden place in the depths of the harem alone with a food box.
In the past, this was the place where the human emperor's armor was placed, but now it has become the darkest place in the depths of Jichang.
Kei Chang walked into the basement, and the rancid smell of it made Ji Chang cover his nose. The cold environment caused moss to grow on the walls, and even the sound of dripping water could be heard lingering in the dark tunnels.
After walking down the stairs, there is a trip to stagnant water, and there are even some tiny bones floating in the stagnant water. After Ji Chang walked in, he came to a secret room.
In the secret room, there was a huge iron cage, and a man with a disheveled hair was lying in the iron cage.
This is none other than the previous king of the Ji Kingdom, Yin Long. After the battle between Yin Long and Qin Xi, his consciousness became unclear.
After escaping, he was picked up by Zhao Xie. Zhao Xie originally thought that this guy could be raised as a dead soldier, but after Yin Long followed Zhao Xie for a day, he suddenly broke out and killed several of Zhao Xie's subordinates and ran away.
However, he didn't run far before he met Kei Chang and others who were about to return to the Mini country. So Ji Chang secretly took Yin Long back to Ji and imprisoned him.
The reason why Yin Long didn't kill Yin Long was mainly because of the only bit of family affection. What's more, Yin Long's strength is very terrifying, and he can help himself do a lot of things.
After Ji Chang put the box on the ground, he said, "Yin Long, it's time to eat." Yin Long slowly raised his head, his sharp eyes looked at Ji Chang through his messy hair, and said lightly: "Ji Chang, how can you be considered my uncle, if you want me to do something, give me something to eat, and they are all mice, don't you think it's too much?" Ji Chang's face changed suddenly, and this Yin Long's consciousness actually recovered!
Ji Chang pulled out the sword at his waist, held the sword in both hands and said nervously: "Yin Long! You! You! ”
"Don't be nervous, I won't kill you, I don't have any feelings about the throne of the Kei country now." Yin Long stood up and easily broke the iron cage and walked out.
Ji Chang was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and finally sat on the ground with his butt. Yin Long glanced at Ji Chang and said, "You should be your Kei King, I won't take your position, because I'm really not interested, I just want to be stronger now!" Kill Qin Xi! ”·····
