When the news of the successful implementation of the new Qin law in the territory of Great Qin reached the Xiongnu, Tou Mandanyu realized that he had lost the best opportunity to attack Great Qin, so he led 80,000 soldiers back to Mobei. originally wanted to take advantage of Qin Shihuang's new funeral, Fusu and Hu Hai were busy seizing power to annex the northern border of Qin, but they didn't want to meet their old opponent Meng Tian, and they didn't get the benefits, and they lost 20,000 horses in vain. The more Tou Manshan thought about it, the more depressed he became, so he led his army to the Yueshi. Tou Manshan never dreamed that his decision would drive him to a dead end.

In the Qilin Hall of Xianyang Palace, the Xunjun from Shangjun was reporting the details of the Xiongnu withdrawal to Fusu, and reported the news of the movement of the head Mandan Yu to the Yue clan when the scouts found it.

Fusu was ecstatic when he heard the news. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to test the strength of the Hun cavalry, but the cunning Huns have been cruising outside the Great Qin soldiers. Although the Qin army had been on the offensive, it was unable to inflict effective damage on the Xiongnu, because the Great Qin infantry was completely helpless in the face of the advantage of the fast and flexible Hun cavalry.

Fusu thought that he would not find a chance to fight with the Hun cavalry in the short term, but he didn't expect that such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was sent to the door. With the strength of the Yue clan, it is by no means an opponent of the Huns, but it is more than enough to hold back Tou Mandanyu. When the Yue clan can't hold on, they will inevitably turn to Daqin for help. At that time, Daqin will use the Hexi Corridor as the price of sending troops, and compared with the suffering of the country, the King of the Yue Clan will definitely choose to cede the Hexi Corridor in exchange for Daqin sending troops.

When the Hexi Corridor arrived, Fusu immediately sent troops to attack the tired division of Toumandanyu, and took the opportunity to launch the Great Qin Iron Cavalry, and when the Great Qin Iron Cavalry became powerful in the future, it would be able to exterminate the Xiongnu in one fell swoop, and at that time, the Western Regions countries such as Donghu, Dawan, and Yueshi could only look at the wind and surrender. The entire Western Regions and the Western Regions will be returned to Great Qin.

"Quickly summon Li Si, Xiao He, Fan Zeng, and Han Xin to meet me," Fusu ordered to the guards.

An hour later, Li Si, Xiao He, Fan Zeng, and Han Xin rushed to Shanglin Yuan, and Fusu was waiting for Li Si and the four of them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Xiongnu have withdrawn their troops from Jiuyuan County to attack the Yue Clan, I thought this was the perfect opportunity for God to give me Great Qin, and when the Xiongnu and the Yue Clan were both defeated, the King of the Yue Clan would definitely ask for help from my Great Qin. I Daqin will take the land of thousands of miles outside the Yanzhi Mountain as a condition for sending troops, and it is expected that the king of the Yue clan will never risk the danger of losing the country and protect the land west of the river, and I intend to immediately form the Great Qin Iron Cavalry for the future conquest of the Xiongnu. Fusu said resolutely.

"Childe, I think that the current enemies of my Great Qin are Xiang Yu, Hu Hai and others, and they gave up Xiang Yu and Hu Hai to attack the Xiongnu for the sake of thousands of miles of barren land outside the Yanzhi Mountain, is it a bit of a sacrifice to the end?" Prime Minister Li Si said.

"Childe, I also think that it is indeed inappropriate to unite the Yue clan to crusade against the Xiongnu at the moment, Jiangdong Xiang and Nanyue Zhao Tuo are all waiting for the opportunity to move, once we move troops against the Xiongnu, these people will inevitably take the opportunity to attack the hinterland of our Great Qin, and when the time comes, I will fight on two fronts of Great Qin, and they will inevitably fall into passivity. Moreover, the Xiongnu were mostly desolate, and it was unprofitable for the labor division to attack" Xiao He was not very in favor of crusading against the Xiongnu at this time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am in favor of Gongzi sending troops to attack the Xiongnu, since the promulgation of the new Qin law, my Great Qin people have made up their minds, and there will be no rebellion under Gongzi's rule. The Jiangdong Xiang clan is busy attacking Jiujiang County in Huhai, and it poses no threat to me for the time being. As for Liu Ji of Dangjun, since the fiasco of Jiangling City, he is no longer able to attack my Nanjun in the short term. If Tou Manshan directly withdrew to Mobei, we would indeed be powerless, after all, Mobei was too far away from me, and it would be too cost-effective for the division to attack from afar. But I couldn't imagine that Tou Mandanyu would dare to attack the Yue Clan with a tired army, isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Fan Zeng said excitedly to Fusu and the others.

"Yu Gongzi, I am also in favor of sending troops to attack the Huns, I think that the disaster of the Huns is far from being comparable to the rebellion of the Xiang clan in Jiangdong, the Mobei grassland, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the Huns are good at using cavalry, but the morning and evening come. If it is not eradicated as soon as possible, it will be a great disaster in the future. Gongzi released the Great Wall civil servants, I am afraid that he intends to exterminate the Xiongnu as soon as possible, right? Han Xin, who has always been reticent, also expressed his opinion.

Fusu looked at Han Xin with an appreciative face, and it could be deduced from the release of the Great Wall labor that Fusu intended to exterminate the Xiongnu. Hanshin is indeed not simple. In fact, this is also the established strategy of Fusu, using this opportunity to expel the Xiongnu from the Hetao area, so that the Xiongnu will not invade the northern border of Great Qin in the short term. When the formation of the Great Qin Iron Cavalry was completed, the main force of the Xiongnu was annihilated in Mobei in one fell swoop. Abandoning the construction of the Great Wall means that the defense line between Liaodong County and Longxi County will have no danger to defend and no city to rely on. The Hun cavalry could choose to attack at any point between these thousands of miles. And the best solution is to exterminate the Xiongnu as soon as possible.

"Do you know how much land there is in the land west of the river outside the Yanzhi Mountain?" Fusu asked with a smile. ”

"Young man, I don't know"

"Let me tell you that there are 9 million mu of land in Yanzhi Mountain that can be cultivated into fertile land, and there are as many as 10,000 mu of grassland." Fusu gave a rough picture of the land and the area of grassland in the Hexi Corridor. Of course, Fusu in history didn't know this, but Xu Yun knew. The Hexi Corridor, which has always been regarded as a barbarian land by Great Qin, is definitely a treasure land.

Ji Xianlin, the president of Peking University, once commented on the Hexi Corridor: "There are only four cultural systems in the world with a long history, a vast territory, a self-contained system, and far-reaching influence: China, India, Greece, and no fifth." And there is only one place where these four cultural systems converge, that is, Dunhuang and Xinjiang in China's Hexi Corridor, and there is no second one. ”

The most important thing is that the Hexi Corridor is the only way to enter and exit Central Asia, out of the Hexi Corridor, through Central Asia, you can enter Europe, and you can also bypass the Himalayas to return to India, thanks to the Indian Ocean monsoon, India at this time is much richer than Daqin. At this time, the Mauryan Empire, which ruled India, naturally became the world's first power.

"I wonder how Gongzi learned that there is so much land and pasture outside Yanzhi Mountain?" Lees asked suspiciously.

"In the past, when the first emperor, the Xiongnu invaded my border many times, and I wanted to understand the Xiongnu. In order to be used in the future attack on the Xiongnu. Therefore, I found a few Hu merchants in Xianyang to learn about it, and I guess I have some understanding of the situation of the Xiongnu and the countries of the Western Regions. Who would have thought that it would be used today," Fusu continued to make up nonsense in a serious manner. You can't tell Li Si that these geographical knowledge have been learned by junior high school students in later generations.

"Childe is far-sighted and admires" Li Si is completely convinced of Fusu's remarks.

"Alas, this cognitive gap is really unsolvable, and this can be fooled." Fusu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Knowing that there would be such great benefits in crusading against the Xiongnu, Li Si and Xiao He no longer opposed sending troops to the Xiongnu.

The next day, the court meeting, Fusu put the formation of the Great Qin Iron Cavalry on the agenda, at first the ministers were opposed, but when Fusu told everyone about the huge benefits of the whale swallowing the Hexi Corridor, and promised that after the fertile land in the west of the river was reclaimed, each of the hundred officials in the court and the central government could be given a hundred acres of fertile land, the opposition was much less instantaneous. The matter of forming an iron cavalry to conquer the Xiongnu can continue to be discussed. Fusu thought of what Guiguzi said: "It is better to persuade with words, than to lure each other with profit, so as to lure your own fish to take the bait."

"The ancients didn't deceive me, these bad old men are really bad, what about the righteousness of the family and the country? Cheesy, too cheesy. Disgusting, disgusting. As soon as he thought that he had lost thousands of acres of fertile land for no reason, Fusu couldn't help but despise this group of bad old men. But soon I was relieved, to deal with these old masters, I have to coerce and lure, I will coerce first, and then reason if the coercion fails, and then coerce ...... if the reason fails, if it doesn't work, I will cut the flesh and lure it. Fusu finally understood this supreme way of being a king.
