Chapter 81: Han Xin and Xiang Yu are ready.
"I agreed with Qin to be the country of uncles and nephews, and the Donghu Yue clan wanted to attack the Xiongnu without asking for help, isn't this nephew in vain?" Maudun opened his mouth as a matter of course.
In fact, although the Xiongnu were the first country to establish a formal alliance with the Great Qin, and Mao Dun was also deferential enough, the Xiongnu have always been Qin's dog-legged behavior.
However, Qin's precautions and restrictions on the Xiongnu did not decrease.
The Huns were dogs on the rope, but when the rope was untied, the dog still had to bite.
Dog training has never been blindly connived at, and Qin Guo can be said to have sufficient experience in this regard.
For all kinds of materials, the Qin State basically traded with the Xiongnu at the point that could not be up or down, and the smuggling of military equipment was strictly prohibited.
Including the sale of grain to the Xiongnu, it was strictly calculated.
After intervening in the Donghu Yue clan with the help of the Xiongnu, the Qin State naturally established contact with the Donghu Yue clan, provoked the relationship between the three, and established the ecological balance on the grassland.
Donghu, Yueshi, Xiongnu, among the three, only the Xiongnu have always been obedient and obeyed the Great Qin Decree as the heavenly rule.
But in fact, Mao Dun did not have any loyalty to the Qin State.
It's just that the situation is not as good as the people.
But maybe Mao Dun's performance was too realistic, or maybe it was the domineering and arrogance of the Qin State that caused the dissatisfaction of Donghu and Yue, in short, Donghu and Yueshi did not plan to play with the Xiongnu, but also planned to form a united front, take the opportunity to annex the Xiongnu before the chaos came, and then wait and see.
The Xiongnu were originally inferior to Donghu and Yueshi, and Toumandan's stupid decision to attack Daqin made the Xiongnu even worse, and they have not eased up until now.
The Qin State did not support the Xiongnu weapons and armor, and took the head to defend against the Donghu Yue clan?
After thinking about it, he could only use his stunts.
Come on, Daddy!
Mao Dun knew in his heart that time was in a hurry, and Donghu and Yue's clan were now afraid that they had secretly cooperated, so he sent more than a dozen messengers to send a message quickly, and immediately organized his tribes to launch a defensive posture to be vigilant against Donghu and Yue's every move.
So, soon the messenger of Maudun came to Shangjun.
The letter written by Mao Dun himself naturally fell into Meng Tian's hands.
"The Xiongnu, the country of the nephews of Great Qin......"
Meng Tian shook his head and laughed when he saw the first sentence......
In the letter, Mao Dun's tone was extremely humble and flattering, and he even had plans to demote himself again......
After that, he cried and condemned Donghu and Yueshi, found out that Donghu and Yueshi were preparing to take the opportunity to attack Daqin, and vaguely asked if someone in Qin secretly contacted Donghu and Yueshi?
To sum it up, it probably is.
Dad, danger, come quickly!
"There's something wrong with the prairie?" Meng Tian smiled while watching, and Han Xin on the side asked with excitement on his face.
After Han Xin entered Shangjun, he relied on Zhao Si's recommendation to mix a thousand generals, and then relied on his relationship to constantly ask Meng Tian for food and armor to give his subordinates food and training alone.
Later, the Donghu Yue clan took the opportunity to attack the Xiongnu, and Daqin received a request for help from the Xiongnu and intervened in the grassland battle.
Therefore, Han Xin naturally emerged.
In the First World War, more than 3,600 people were killed and more than 1,800 prisoners were captured.
Capture up to five times the number of soldiers and horses of Hanshin's headquarters.
Of course, this is not just the credit of Han Shin alone.
Just kidding, this is a thousand soldiers and horses that Han Xin has personally trained for a long time, don't forget, Han Xin also has a halberd named Xiang Yu under him.
In this war, Xiang Yu, who was in charge of guarding Han Xin, rushed into the enemy formation alone, killed 23 people in a single formation, and captured the leader of the other party alive, making the first contribution.
Han Xin + Xiang Yu!
Han Xin rose to prominence by training soldiers and horses in battlefield scheduling, while Xiang Yu became famous for his ferocity on the battlefield and his personal bravery.
The army is also a circle, and there are so many new things.
Han Xin and Xiang Yu can be said to have made a name for themselves in the Longxi Corps in the first battle.
Therefore, Han Xin's relationship was finally appreciated by Meng Tian.
Meng Tian's attitude towards Han Xin was not to be offended, after all, Han Xin was Zhao Si's person.
Zhao Si, a close minister who has been serving the emperor for a long time, may not be useful if the relationship is good, but if he offends, it will be really bad, not to mention that the eldest son Fusu has not yet established a prince, and Meng Tian will naturally not make enemies for Fusu at this critical time.
Therefore, for Han Xin, Meng Tian has always tried his best to respond to requests, but he will not deliberately promote to delay the lives of fighters in vain.
And now, Han Xin's real military exploits have proved himself, so he has been promoted by Meng Tian, and now Han Xin is already a lieutenant under Meng Tian, in charge of the training of soldiers and horses, and in wartime, he can command 5,000 soldiers and horses.
is already a middle-level officer, if he can make another great contribution and rise up one more level, Han Xin will be able to sit on the side of the general in the army.
Meng Tian casually handed Mao Dun's letter of request for help to Han Xin.
Han Xin took the letter and read it, with a smile on his face.
"From this point of view, I'm afraid that Donghu and Yueshi are planning to take the opportunity to annex the Xiongnu before the Central Plains rebellion, and then wait and see......"
For the impending chaos, Meng Tian, as the first commander of the Great Wall Legion, has clearly been reminded by the Taiwei Wang Qian.
As for Han Xin, he is Zhao Si's protégé, so naturally he also has news channels.
"Your Majesty has issued a tiger talisman a month ago, whether to attack or defend can be self-determined, if it is you, how do you plan to deal with it?" Meng Tian looked at Han Xin and asked.
The Qin Dynasty was still relatively strict in the control of soldiers and horses, and without the Tiger Talisman, Meng Tian only had the right to command and transfer troops in the station area where he was stationed.
However, having issued the Tiger Talisman in advance meant that Meng Tian had full autonomy, and he could not only fight in the grassland, but also wait for opportunities to support the interior of Great Qin if necessary.
"The Xiongnu and Great Qin have agreed on an alliance, and there is no reason to sit back and watch the Xiongnu being annexed by Donghu and Yueshi." Han Xin said.
"Taiwei said, the Central Plains may be chaotic, Shangjun, Dai County, Beidi County, Yuyang, Liaoxi, Yanmen, I'm afraid they may not be able to be stable, Donghu Yue's Xiongnu is second, I'm afraid the counties in the north will also have some changes, I'm afraid to guard the counties first, and Hurong outside the Guan, at most can only resist the enemy outside the Great Wall, if you rush to send troops, maybe you will reap the results, but once the north is in chaos, the return of the army is not in time, I am afraid there will be chaos." Meng Tian frowned and said.
To be honest, Meng Tian didn't take the Donghu Yue clan in his eyes at all, even if the Donghu Yue clan and the Xiongnu united, what could they do?
The Great Wall defense line has been hooked up, and they are heading south?
But Meng Tian's task now is not only to expand his territory, but also to guard against rebellion in the north.
There's a ghost!
There is no problem in Longxi Shangjun, but Yuyang, Liaoxi, Yanmen, Beidi County, and Dai County are big problems.
What he was worried about was that once he sent troops, the nobles from all over the country would take the opportunity to raise troops and make friends with the bearded people.
This thing is too disgusting.
"Donghu and Yueshi will first annex the Xiongnu before waiting for the situation in the Central Plains to go south, so the Xiongnu will inevitably resist desperately, and this situation does not require large soldiers." Han Xin shook his head.
"It's not a wise thing to divide your forces to fight." Meng Tian looked at Han Xin faintly.
"Ten thousand, I only need ten thousand horses!" Han Xin looked at Meng Tian!
"Yue's Donghu intends to annex the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu can also rely on it to help, Daqin can take the opportunity to plot against Donghu and Yue's, wave his army north, and sweep Donghu away!" Han Xin gritted his teeth.
He didn't want to waste his time in defensive battles, Meng Tianwei was going to think about the overall situation, but now he just wanted to make meritorious contributions.
"10,000 horses is too little!" Meng Tian shook his head.
"There are fewer soldiers and horses, and it depends on who commands the soldiers and horses." Han Xin also shook his head.
"What if the Xiongnu have already contacted the Donghu Yue clan properly, and only deliberately sent a message to lure Daqin to send troops?" Meng Tian asked.
"Then wipe out the Huns!" Han Xin's calm words were taken for granted.
"You only have 10,000 soldiers and horses, and I can only respond to them at most, and it is impossible for the army to go out of the Great Wall." Meng Tian looked at Han Xin.
"The general just needs to ensure that the logistics are constant!"
"You don't have to worry about logistics, you just need to ensure that the Xiongnu are not annexed by Donghu and Yue, so that the situation created by Daqin will be ruined, if you can't do anything, at least you have to keep the Xiongnu royal family in order to plan for the future." Meng Tian shook his head and smiled. He won't be able to guarantee the logistics of 10,000 people.
Meng Tian's starting point is not to make a contribution, but to maintain the existing situation.
As long as the Xiongnu are saved, the Huns are still alive, and Daqin can still use the Xiongnu as a springboard to let the grassland continue to fight, and the border of Daqin can still be peaceful.
Even if there is an accident and Mao Dun is saved, when the war in the Central Plains subsides, Daqin can completely help the Xiongnu send troops to attack Donghu and Yueshi in accordance with the covenant, and help the Xiongnu rebuild their homeland.
Well...... And by the way, occupy some territory.
The grassland is too vast, not that if you fight it, this place belongs to you.
"10,000 is enough!" Han Shin smiled.
He said enough, naturally it was not enough to keep the Huns.
If it was just to keep the Huns, how could such a thing make him feel excited?
Now the places that the Xiongnu can occupy and are included in the rule have been occupied by the Great Qin Wanquan, and have begun to set up counties and cities.
The rest of the place is honestly not worth occupying, so the Xiongnu will be kept as a buffer zone for Great Qin.
But there are still many fertile territories that can be included in the rule of the Donghu Yue clan that are not occupied.
Meng Tian gave command to Han Xin with 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the main task was to protect the Xiongnu from being annexed by Donghu and Yue.
But...... Naturally, Hanshin's purpose is more than that.
"Captain."
Xiang Yu looked at Han Xin with a smile on his face and spoke in a deep voice.
Han Xin glanced at Xiang Yu, who was standing at the door with a bitter hatred and held a halberd for himself, and came to the desk by himself and knelt down in front of the desk.
"There is a difference between Donghu and Yue, I have asked the general to send troops out of the customs."
Xiang Yu didn't speak, just looked at Han Xin silently.
"Haven't you always wanted to make meritorious contributions? This time, I will hand over the position of the vanguard to you, but we only have 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the general has to guard against domestic turmoil, so he can only ensure that our logistics continue to ......" Han Xin Shi Ran opened his mouth and introduced Xiang Yu's specific instructions for sending troops to Meng Tian this time.
"As long as the Huns are preserved?" Xiang Yu frowned, feeling a little bored.
"Soldiers and horses are out of the customs, it's me who has the final say, you should know what it means." The smile on Han Xin's face was light and light.
When Xiang Yu heard this, the bitter and hateful expression on his face finally converged slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then he spoke in a deep voice.
"The cavalry is for me, I don't want logistics." Xiang Yu spoke in a deep voice, although he didn't have any expression, but the confidence in his tone was the same as Han Xin's.
"I said it, the soldiers and horses are out of the customs, I have the final say." Han Xin shook his head.
"If you want to make meritorious contributions, you have to listen to my dispatch."
Xiang Yu looked at Han Xin, was silent for a long time, and finally said in a sullen voice: "Only! ”
He came here with national hatred and family hatred, and was demoted to a subordinate.
Fortunately, Han Xin was willing to appreciate him, and he became Han Xin's halberd man.
Xiang Yu knew that Han Xin was Zhao Si's doorman.
He was ready to be targeted, but surprisingly, Han Shin didn't target him.
Not only is it not targeted, but it is even favored.
Is that...... Disregard......
Yes, it's ignorance.
He never stopped Xiang Yu from making meritorious contributions, and even often entrusted Xiang Yu with important tasks.
Xiang Yu's battlefield insight ability and Han Xin's command and dispatch were almost brought into full play.
To be honest, after becoming Han Xin's command, Xiang Yu has never been so easy in battlefield combat.
He should have been grateful to Han Xin, but Han Xin's contempt for everything and unparalleled self-confidence in his bones made it difficult for Xiang Yu to get close.
And perhaps the most difficult thing for Xiang Yu to accept is that Han Xin really has the qualifications of arrogance and self-confidence.
And Xiang Yu didn't have the opportunity to pretend to be forced to slap his face, and in the face of Han Xin's natural command and order, he had no way to refuse.
Because he knew it was the right choice.
"It doesn't matter who you are with me." Han Xin looked at Xiang Yu and said calmly.
"But this time I only have 10,000 people in my hands, and I want to use these 10,000 soldiers and horses to deal with Donghu and Yueshi, and even the Xiongnu.
The Xiongnu may not be in line with the Great Qin, and may even have repeated actions, Mao Dun is by no means a loyal dog of the Great Qin, if the Xiongnu want to escape the control of the Great Qin, then this chaos is the best opportunity. Han Xin said to himself.
"It doesn't matter who you are, the Qin Dynasty has always focused on military merit, I will give you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and even give you the first credit." Han Xin said and looked into Xiang Yu's eyes.
"You should know that no one will give you a chance like I do."
Xiang Yu turned his head away when he heard the sound.
Zhao Si is in the middle of the day in Daqin, to tell the truth, Xiang Yu, a person with a criminal record on his back, is difficult to pass political censorship wherever he goes.
Fighting a war does not mean that you can fight and make meritorious contributions.
If you can fight again, you will be given an idle position, and what is the use of you having no chance of meritorious service in your life?
Han Shin is not lying......
But the arrogant Xiang Yu didn't want to admit it, just don't look over his head and say nothing.
"So, do what you are told."
Han Xin looked at Xiang Yu and emphasized.
He knew that Xiang Yu wanted to make meritorious contributions, and he also knew that Xiang Yu's battlefield talent was very good.
However, the better people are, the more they want to prove themselves.
But Han Xin didn't think that Xiang Yu's talent could surpass him.
Xiang Yu wanted to make meritorious contributions.
Han Xin thought the same.
He is now just a lieutenant, and being able to command 10,000 soldiers and horses is considered exceptional.
Not enough, it's not enough.
He wants bigger, bigger, bigger military feats!
This is his chance!
Great Qin has been unified, and now it is not military merits and other people, but people and other military merits.
I am afraid that such an opportunity will be difficult to have in the future.
He wants to take this opportunity to earn the military merit of entering the high-level of Great Qin in one fell swoop!
