The two major border counties in the northwest of the Great Qin Empire - Yanmen and Jiuyuan.

Since the beginning of June, Ercheng County has been in a state of combat readiness, the number of people on patrol has increased, and the number of rotating personnel has changed from three to six.

Autumn is the season for the Hu people to go south to plunder.

The last time the two counties were lost was in the fall.

Kuhara County.

The third prince of Great Qin, General Yinglu, was dressed in regular clothes and stood on the parade platform, which could take in the situation of the martial arts field off and off the field.

Next to it was Meng Tian, the lord of the Nine Plains, who was carrying his hands on his back.

"Drink!"

"Hah!"

Off the field, the Qin army's armor is clear, and the sword stabbing is remarkable.

The formation changes are complicated but not chaotic, and everyone can find their exact location.

The evil spirit is rising, and the murderous spirit is overflowing.

Waving his arms and glaring, the cold light was awe-inspiring.

This army of tigers and wolves does not seem to be training, but facing real enemies, and wants to choose the enemy to devour.

They were the most elite team of the Great Qin Empire, expelling the Xiongnu for more than 700 miles, and the Xiongnu did not dare to look back.

"I'm going back to Upper County."

Ying Jiang Lu lowered his head and looked at the audience, his face expressionless.

"The third son is at his own convenience."

Meng Tian also looked at the field, did not turn his head to look at Yingjiang Lu, and said lightly.

"I'm going to take my gluttonous army with me."

The gluttonous army is the number of 47,000 cavalry, and the general Lu himself raised it.

"Even if it doesn't work, it's autumn at this time, and the Hu people are the easiest to attack and harass in the south, so the third prince might as well wait."

Meng Tian shook his head in refusal, his head still shaking his head.

Ying Jiang Lu already turned his head and glared angrily, interrupting in a deep voice.

"Hu Ren knocking on the pass, it's your business as the lord of Jiuyuan, what does it have to do with this son?"

Why do you want Ben Gongzi's private army to guard the border for you!

Meng Tian looked unhappy.

"The third prince is the third son of Your Majesty, Your Majesty is your monarch and your father, Daqin is both your country and your family. The Hu people invaded, insulted your father, and bullied your country, how can it have nothing to do with you? ”

Ying Jiang Lu sneered, looking at Meng Tian's eyes as if he was looking at the jumping clown.

"Don't pretend, you just want to consume the gluttonous army, keep the Meng family's army, and retain the strength of my eldest prince. Don't say anything about the high-sounding words, although you Meng Tian is from Qi, but since he was a child, he was born in Qin, and he grew up in Qin, and he is also half a Qin person, which is more refreshing. ”

The unhappiness on Meng Tian's face suddenly disappeared.

"What the third prince taught is that Na Tian said it clearly.

"It's okay for the third prince to leave on his own, Tian is extremely happy, but you can't take the gluttonous army with you.

"There is one thing, please rest assured that the third son.

"After the third prince leaves, Tian will treat the gluttonous army equally, and will no longer only need the gluttonous army to fight.

"At that time, Tian will report the chapter, and the enthusiasm of the people in the northwest to join the army is unprecedentedly high, and 50,000 new soldiers and horses will be added."

In this way, these 47,000 soldiers and horses changed from the private army of Ying Jiang Lu to the regular army of the Great Qin Empire.

"I'm here, you're dreaming!"

Ying Jiang's face sank like water, staring at Meng Tian with murderous intent in his eyes, without concealing it at all.

Meng Tian doesn't care, a little doll, no matter how sharp her eyes are, what can she do? A tiger cub with no claws. If his eyes could kill people, he would have died in the eyes of the Huns.

"If the third prince doesn't leave, this matter is nothing more than a prolongation, and the result is the same. In winter, the snow is like goose feathers, and the transportation of grain and grass in various cities and counties is suspended. If the gluttonous army wants to survive, they have to eat the grain and grass of Jiuyuan County. If you eat military rations, you will join the army. ”

"You dare! The grain and grass in Jiuyuan County were brought by my uncle! My uncle had already agreed to provide for the daily needs of the gluttonous army! ”

How naïve...... Meng Tian shook his head inwardly, didn't want to say more, turned around and got off the parade platform.

The pro-soldier Li You glanced at the young man with a little worry, and followed the main general to step down.

"Far worse than the prince."

Meng Tian muttered to himself, his voice was not deliberately lowered, and he deliberately let the third prince hear it clearly, so that the third prince's face would be greener.

What's the point of saying that? Jiuyuan was his fiefdom, and he said that if he didn't give food, he could not give food. Just like if he doesn't let the gluttonous army leave, the gluttonous army can't leave.

He didn't want to tear his face with Ying Jianglu, so he saved some face. In his opinion, if the third prince had been smarter, he should have returned to Xianyang a long time ago. It's a waste of time and pointless to say a few harsh words to him here.

Meng Tian and Li You walked along the edge of the martial arts arena.

The earthquake trembled, the Qin army shouted, and one general and one soldier went out one after the other under such a background.

Under the interference of such a chaotic sound, Meng Tian still found some chaotic footsteps of his own soldiers.

"Worried about your brother?"

Li You was stunned, and when he opened his mouth, he wanted to say no, but his mouth opened widely, and he paused slightly, but as soon as he said it, he admitted it.

"I'm worried."

Under Meng Tian's intention, it has always been Li You who looks at Gu Ying's generals on the battlefield.

has this friendship between life and death, plus Li Youwei is the son of the prime minister, and he knows a lot.

Whether in terms of origin or conversation, he is much better than ordinary soldiers. is not despised by Ying Jiang Lu, but can chat with Ying Jiang Lu.

The two are now like brothers.

"Then why don't you go and take care of one or two?"

Meng Tian's footsteps accelerated, and he disappeared in two or three steps.

"Yui."

Li You responded to the air, not surprised at all, and turned back to walk towards the parade platform.

I didn't take two steps before I bumped into my half-brother who was ugly and wanted to die.

When Ying Jianglu saw Li You, he forced out a smile, hugged his good brother's neck and left.

"If you're in a bad mood, drink two jars with me!"

The houses made of sand and stones have no aesthetic sense, cold in winter and hot in summer.

Rough, rough, and rudimentary.

This is the northwest border county, whether it is Yanmen or Jiuyuan, it is the same.

The same is true of Ying Jianglu's mansion, except that the houses are built thicker and the gaps are filled with specially treated sand, and the rest is no different from other people's houses.

Tons and tons of tons~!

Ying Jiang Lu held a jar of wine and drank it in a big gulp.

Li You hurriedly snatched down the altar and said angrily:

"The eldest husband suffered some setbacks, and then he gave up on himself?"

Ying Jiang Lu smiled dejectedly, and when he returned home, his strong spirit could no longer hold on.

"Then Brother Li, tell me, what can I do? What else can I do without drinking? Take away the gluttonous army? ”

Li You put down the wine jar and said without thinking:

"If you are in the spring and summer or maybe, if the Hu people invade, they must choose autumn, and General Meng will not let them go."

…………

"Go south! It's just the right time! My son! We can't fight with the Yue Clan anymore! ”

Xiongnu Shan Yu Touman took his eldest son, rode his horse slowly in the desert, looked at the herds of war horses, and shouted in a deep voice.

"Father, why do we have to go south in autumn? Can't you loot in normal times? ”

The eldest son, Mao Dun's face was dark, and his muscles were slightly bulging at a young age, and his spirit was full of energy.

Touman held the horsewhip, pointed to the cows, horses, and sheep in the desert, and taught the eldest son who had been established as the next Shan Yu.

One is autumn high horse fat. The horses that have been raised in the desert for more than half a year are fat and strong, and they are in the best condition. In winter, you can only eat hay and lose weight.

Second, the nomads harvested the pasture in the autumn and stationed in the winter camps, so that they no longer needed the heavy labor of the strong labor force, and a large number of strong men were idle. The Central Plains region just happened to be the harvest season, and the Central Plains had to invest a large number of laborers in harvesting and other labor, so that there were more people and fewer people.

Third, the Central Plains in autumn is the harvest season, with the most abundant products and the most things that can be grabbed.

Fourth, the north is extremely intolerant to heat, and the Hu people and horses are accustomed to dry and cool weather, and the Central Plains in autumn is suitable for their activities.

Generally speaking, the Hu people can effectively use the advantages of horsepower, manpower and weather when they go south in autumn, and they can make a lot of money if they can grab things. When there are a large number of people and materials are scarce, it is good to earn if you can't grab things, and it is good to consume the population.

But if they don't, the good condition of the horses and the abundance of labor will be wasted in the winter camp.
