The twenty-seventh year of Qin Shi Huang, October.

According to the Qin calendar, October is the beginning of the year, and this month is considered to have entered the new year.

The whole Xianyang City is in a very lively atmosphere, between the mansions everywhere, you can see people hanging new peach charms, residents in the city come and go, carrying dog legs, chickens and ducks and other things, and they are full of smiles when they meet each other.

Compared with the rich festive atmosphere in Xianyang City, the eldest princess's mansion is a little different.

"Two cylinders."

"Ninety thousand."

"Three of a kind"

"Victorious! Brother, bring it! ”

listened to some words that didn't match this era, and then watched the scene where Yingyin knocked down the wooden card and stretched out her hand to the opposite child, Fusu, to ask for chips.

Zhao Tuo's face was full of helplessness.

In this Qin Dynasty, the picture is a little collapsed.

He made mahjong in later generations in this era.

Zhao Tuo didn't want to, after all, this thing is addictive, in case it will be popularized in the future, I don't know how many people will be nostalgic for the card table all day long, I don't want to eat or eat, and I have to play mahjong if I stay up late.

But isn't this his going on a campaign?

The newlywed will be separated in just half a year, and Yingyin Yan is very unhappy in her heart.

Plus she's almost five months pregnant.

Under the hormonal changes in the body, the mood of the pregnant woman is very unstable.

Women in this era don't have much entertainment, and the pregnant Yingyin Yan can't even go out at will to relax, so there is a risk of "depression".

Acacia still makes people thin, not to mention the risks of pregnancy.

His wife and children, how could Zhao Tuo not care.

Seeing that what he wrote was no longer able to cope with this kind of scene, he simply ruthlessly sacrificed a big trick in entertainment.

Mahjong is now alive and was named "Qin Pai" by him.

Out-of-date terms such as "nonsense" have also been cleverly modified by him to make them more acceptable.

As soon as the Qin card came out, the effect was excellent.

With the spiritual sustenance, Yingyin Yan also had a lot of complaints about Zhao Tuo, who was about to go on the expedition, and a happy smile bloomed on her face.

Zhao Tuo breathed a sigh of relief and once again realized the importance of a rich entertainment life to people.

Fusu, the son who came to visit today, was unfortunately taken by Yingyin Yan, and was forced to pull up the card table, accompanied by Zhao Tuo and the princess's maid, and fought in the card field.

Zhao Tuo looked at Fusu and shook his head with a wry smile, while pushing the chips to his sister-in-law, and muttered in his heart: "I have to let my uncle play cards more, which can relieve her anxiety and be good for the development of the fetus." But what if Fusu is addicted to playing cards? ”

Thinking of this strange possibility, Zhao Tuo shook his head secretly and said: "Fusu is a gentleman, he will definitely not indulge in playing mahjong, you have to believe him." ”

In the following days, Zhao Tuo either accompanied Yingyin Yan to the suburbs to relax, or accompanied the princess to play cards at home for entertainment, or gathered cronies for a banquet to deepen the relationship.

This year, he is still relatively comfortable.

However, after the New Year, the atmosphere in Xianyang City suddenly became tense.

The news that the First Emperor was going to conquer the Hu people in the north and recover the Zhuxia homeland occupied by those barbarians had already been known.

As the basic plate of the Qin army, the Qin people in Guanzhong, who have been assimilated by the military merit system for hundreds of years, have long been accustomed to going out to fight, and they have little resistance to this war against the Hu people in the north.

There were even many Qin people who wanted to make meritorious contributions and be promoted to knighthood who were excited, and the fighting mood was high.

Of course, this is also because the battlefield is located in the north, which they are more familiar with, not in the far south miasma. If they were to be recruited to the south to conquer Baiyue, I am afraid that everyone would have wailed long ago.

Under the rising war mood of the Qin people, Zhao Tuo, who had just stepped down from his post as Shaofu, put all his thoughts on the upcoming war.

The first act he made was to go to Pinyang to visit the retired Wang Qian.

This is a kind of respect for veterans, and it is also Zhao Tuo's importance to this war.

Wang Jian has white hair and a slightly rickety body, but his spirit is very good, and he can eat two bowls of corn rice in one meal.

"The Hu people in the north are different from the six countries of Shandong, the Hu people have no cities, they swim with the water and grass, fight with people, advance if they are advantageous, retreat if they are unfavorable, and they are not ashamed to flee, and they are mostly cavalry. It is easy for our Qin army to defeat them, but it is a little difficult to annihilate, once they find that they can't defeat our army head-on, they will no longer gather the main force to fight, and most of them will use intrusion tactics, which is very difficult to deal with on the grassland. ”

"So if you want to take Henan this time, the first battle is the most important, and you can learn from Li Mu's strategy to deal with the Xiongnu in the past."

Wang Jian said slowly while digging rice into his mouth.

"Show the enemy weakness, lure the enemy deep, and annihilate its main force?"

Zhao Tuo was thoughtful.

According to his understanding, the reason why Li Mu was able to break the Huns back then was because he used strange strategies.

When the Xiongnu invaded the border of Zhao, the sentinels warned with beacons, and the Zhao army retreated to the fortress and did not fight with the Xiongnu, which was the case for several years.

The Huns thought that Li Mu was a coward, and the Zhao people did not dare to fight them, so they became more and more arrogant.

Later, Li Mu secretly gathered more than 100,000 elite soldiers to graze livestock in the mountains, and the Xiongnu sent a small force to invade, Li Mu pretended to be defeated and fled, leaving thousands of people to the Xiongnu.

After hearing the news, the Xiongnu thought that the Zhao army was vulnerable, so they led a large number of troops to invade.

When Li Mu heard of the arrival of the main force of the Xiongnu, he changed his previous fear, and the Buqi array met the attack, outflanking the Xiongnu from the left and right, and finally killed more than 100,000 Xiongnu horses and severely damaged its main force.

This is a very classic example of showing the enemy's weakness and luring the enemy deep into the ground to carry out a one-hit kill, and has achieved major results.

If Li Mu didn't use strategy, it would be almost impossible to achieve such a result when fighting the Xiongnu on the grassland.

It is difficult to inflict great harm on these nomads without stratagem.

Wang Jian nodded and said, "You are going to take Henan this time, and it is different from Li Mu's defense, so you can't afford that time." So you should find a way to let those Yueshi people gather their main forces to fight, and then you can find an opportunity to annihilate their main forces, and Henan can easily start. Later, when it comes to attacking Hexi, it will be much easier. ”

Zhao Tuo grinned and said, "Just like before you induced the Qi army to fight a decisive battle in Zhencheng?" I'm familiar with this. ”

Wang Jian was stunned.

and Zhao Tuo looked at each other.

The two of them laughed in unison.

……

After returning from Pinyang, Zhao Tuo was already confident, and he already had a general idea of this Northern Expedition.

In the following time, he spent the whole day with Li Shiqi and the newly joined Chen Ping, studying various tactics against the Hu people and deducing the war situation.

At the same time, after the end of the busy agricultural season, the First Emperor recruited a large number of widowers to be responsible for transporting grain and straw, and hoarded a large amount of grain and grass equipment in Shangjun, Beidi County and Longxi County.

It is precisely the soldiers and horses that have not moved, and the grain and grass go first.

Compared to the soldiers recruited from all over the Kanto region, who were still on the way to arrive and would still need months to reach their destination, the elite cavalry from Yunzhong, Yanmen, Shanggu, and Daijun had already been recruited to Beidi County one step ahead.

A large number of cavalry gathered, waiting for Zhao Tuo to go to train and promote the three treasures of cavalry he made.

At the end of October, at the pilgrimage.

The First Emperor did not wait any longer.

He was dressed in a majestic black robe and sat on the emperor's couch.

His gaze swept over the ministers in the palace, and finally fell on Zhao Tuo, the chief of the military attachés.

"Since ancient times, Huayi has not been separated, and my Qin State and Rong Di are feuds."

"In the past, my ancestor Qin Zhong, who was the doctor of Zhou, was ordered by Zhou to punish Xirong and died in Rongdi."

"Qin Zhong has five sons, and he borrowed 7,000 soldiers from Zhou to cut down Xirong and break it. So there is also the land of the dog mound, so far it is the doctor of the west. ”

"As for the Zhou Year of Zong, Dog Rong and Shenhou Vazhou killed Youwang Li Mountain. My ancestor Xianggong rescued Zhou, fought very hard, and had meritorious service. Zhou avoided the dogs, migrated eastward, and Xianggong sent King Zhou Ping with soldiers. King Ping made Xianggong a prince and gave the land west of Qi. He said: 'Rong has no way, invade the land of my Qi and Feng, and Qin can conquer Rong, that is, there is a land.' At this point, my Qin country is established, and the world is a prince. ”

"Later, there was Wen Gong to cut Rong, collect the remnants of the Zhou people, and the land was Qi. As for the world of Mu Gong, he used Yu to plot to defeat the king of Rong, benefit the country twelve, open up thousands of miles, and dominate Xirong. The Son of Heaven summoned the public to congratulate him with a golden drum, and to the uncle to dominate the ......"

The First Emperor's voice was low and powerful, and according to the tradition of this era, before the start of the war, he recounted all kinds of entanglements and grudges between the Qin state and the Rongdi barbarians.

This made Zhao Tuo feel excited.

The history of the founding of the Qin people can be called the history of the bloody war with the Rong Di barbarians.

This vast Qin land in Guanzhong was the result of generations of Qin ancestors who overcame thorns and thorns and fought bloody battles with barbarians, and every inch of land was bathed in the blood of Qin and Rong people.

This is the real martial nation, in the face of the Rongdi barbarians, there is only the word conquest!

The First Emperor's words came to an end, and his voice was quite high.

"Hu Yi has no way, taking advantage of the civil war in my Zhuxia, looting and plundering, encroaching on Zhao's hometown, occupying the land of Henan, and bullying my Zhuxia people."

"Now that I am the emperor, I should inherit the martial style of Qin, expel Hu Yi, and recover the homeland of Zhuxia, so that between the world, there is only the land of my Great Qin, and there is no land of Hu people!"

"The eldest chief Zhao Tuo, with great martial arts, is a good general of me, and now he is the general of the Qin State!"

"When the north strikes the Hu people, subdue the summer soil, and raise my great Qin's heroic wind!"

As the voice of the First Emperor fell.

Zhao Tuo immediately stepped forward and accepted the promise.

"Minister Zhao Tuo, I will expel the Hu people and raise my great Qin heroism!"

Zhao Tuo's voice was passionate and powerful, and his eyes were shining.

He was the commander of the 300,000 Qin army.

General Zhao Tuo!

Thank you for your reward, and for your votes, thank you!
