Chapter 171: Qin Shi Huang's Imperial Expedition!
"The Mauryan Empire and the Rest Empire, is there any news?" Ying Zheng nodded slightly, not in a hurry to be happy, but changed his words and asked.
It stands to reason that after such a long time, there should be news of the war on all sides, and it should not be so quiet all the time.
You can't get the news in time without the traverser, but the world is so big, it's not that difficult to get the news.
"Wang Jian has won many battles, annexed half of the city of the Mauryan Empire, and suffered 100,000 casualties, and is resting at the moment, and then preparing to continue the attack."
"In addition, the minister finally figured out why the Mauryan Empire has not been facing it head-on, because Ashoka was not in the Mauryan Dynasty at all, and he led the army to attack the Sabbath Empire."
"But after Emperor Ashoka fought over, he found that the Rest Empire was empty, and there were only some old, weak, sick and disabled left, as for the current movements of these two forces, I haven't gotten any news yet, but the minister wants to come, and he should attack my Great Qin."
After Zhang Han organized His Majesty's language, he opened his mouth and said.
"Are you saying that the Resting Empire is moving, and Ashoka is in the air?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is not easy for Artshak I of the Rest Empire to guess the movements of the Mauryan Dynasty, and the minister has informed the fourth prince to prepare for a sneak attack."
Zhang Han was very decisive.
As soon as I learned the news, I made a decision.
"No, you're wrong, the Rest Empire will not come to attack my Great Qin, but will attack Lao Jiu." Ying Zheng stared at the map for a moment, and then said coldly.
Well?
Zhang Jiu and Meng Yi were stunned, and their faces flashed with astonishment.
Then, as if he had thought of something, his face changed suddenly.
At the beginning, I subconsciously thought that the Rest Empire belonged to the Eastern War Circle, so I didn't think about it to the West, but at this time, there is really such a possibility.
For the Rest Empire, it is more cost-effective to attack Yingtian.
After thinking about all this, the faces of the two were extremely ugly.
The Anxi Empire is no match for Great Qin, but with more than 10 million people and a million soldiers, such a force going to the west will definitely be able to kill everything.
Yingtian in his heyday may be able to resist it, but the problem is that after this battle, Yingtian has broken his muscles and bones.
There are only a few thousand people left around him, and it is absolutely a fool's dream to resist the Rest Empire with this.
The base is depleted, and it will take a long time to get back to the pre-war state.
"Your Majesty, it's too late to send people to the west now, even if it's a hot air balloon, if you don't lose your way, it will take more than half a year, and I'm afraid that the Rest Empire has now arrived in the west and is about to kill in Rome."
Zhang Han quickly came to the map, measured the distance, and shook his head with a wry smile.
Before this, no one had expected that the Rest Empire would attack Rome, so they did not respond, and if they had known earlier, they would not have only sent Ying Sakura to support.
"Your Majesty, what is the matter now?"
Meng Yi's eyes were full of anxiety, and he panicked for a while.
Even if Yingtian has the ability to turn the sky upside down, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape this catastrophe.
Ying Zheng frowned, didn't speak, and kept staring at the map.
Suddenly, I remembered an ambush soldier from before.
"I remember that Lao Jiu trained a group of private soldiers ten years ago, and after he crossed the sea to fight, this group of people disappeared, and the person at the head seems to be called Han Xin? You can see where this person is now. ”
Zhang Han narrowed his eyes, trying to search for this person in his memory.
Soon, he found a memory about Han Xin, and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, there is indeed such a person, who followed the side of the Nine Princes ten years ago and attacked the Zhao State, but after the unification of the Six Kingdoms, this person disappeared, and there is no record of him."
Yingtian is the ninth prince of Great Qin, no one will specifically monitor him, and many things he does are unknown to ordinary people.
"I heard that when the ninth prince left by boat, Han Xin took people to protect all the way on the shore, but then I don't know where he went, nearly eight years have passed, and there has been no news, as if he has disappeared."
Zhang Han frowned.
Yingtian has always been mysterious and very proficient in layout, no one knows what Han Xin will be arranged, and in order to avoid suspicion, they will not deliberately ask about these private matters.
"Perhaps, this person did not disappear, but secretly touched Rome, I remember, this person is Lao Jiu's henchman, only under his control, and did not enter the court as an official."
Ying Zheng's faint voice sounded, making the two stunned again.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that this person has been lurking in the dark, protecting the safety of the Ninth Prince, and is a hole card of the Ninth Prince?" A glimmer of hope welled up in Meng Yi's heart.
This group of dead soldiers was trained in the late stage of Yingtian's conquest of the Six Kingdoms, and their combat effectiveness was extremely brave, if they were in the West, this battle situation might really be rewritten.
Zhang Han shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be possible, I haven't heard of reinforcements in this battle, if Han Xin is really in the west, it is impossible not to make a move." ”
In this battle, Yingtian didn't have the point of keeping his hands.
He guessed that Han Xin most likely had an accident and probably died in an unknown place.
"Where do you think the Mauryan Empire will be now?"
Ying Zheng did not continue to dwell on Han Xin's issue, but changed the conversation again.
The two were stunned and subconsciously shook their heads.
I don't know how this matter could have anything to do with the Mauryan Dynasty.
"What would you do if you were Emperor Ashoka and arrived at the Sabbath Empire with millions of troops, only to find that the enemy was gone?" Ying Zheng seemed to be asking, and it seemed to be talking to himself.
The brain is racing, thinking carefully about the possibilities.
"Ashoka is not a fool, he should know very well that after my Great Qin destroys the eighteen small kingdoms, he will have a large army to suppress the Peacock Dynasty, so it is useless for him to come back......" Zhang Han didn't think about it, and said directly.
Halfway through, the voice suddenly stopped.
A possibility suddenly came to mind.
If the Mauryan Empire follows behind the Sabbatarian Empire and attacks the West together......
From the perspective of the Mauryan Dynasty, the class master returned to the dynasty to face Wang Qian, which could only slow down the speed of being destroyed and could not change the ending, but if it was an attack on the west, it would be different.
Once you eat this piece of fat from the West, your overall strength will be significantly improved, and you will have enough time and ability to fight back to the East.
Moreover, destroying Yingtian is tantamount to weakening the strength of Great Qin.
After thinking about all this, Zhang Han's face instantly turned pale.
Compared to before, it is countless times more ugly.
If there is only one Rest Empire, Yingtian plus the second princess and Han Xin, who has disappeared for many years, may really have a chance to meet the Peacock Dynasty......
To know.
The Mauryan Dynasty was in the early stage of the advent of the national war system, but it dared to call for the existence of Great Qin.
This time, Emperor Ashoka attacked the Rest Empire, bringing with him an army of seven million.
Although there are not many regular troops, in terms of numbers, they are enough to crush everything.
Moreover, Ashoka is not a fool, and will definitely wait for the rest of the empire and Yingtian to lose before making a move.
Just imagine, Yingtian and the others worked desperately to kill the Rest Empire, only to find that there was still a Peacock Dynasty eyeing them. I'm afraid it will collapse directly!
In addition, under Ashoka, there is also a starry team of 3,000 people, all of whom are wearing equipment made of starry sky stones, which is extremely terrifying.
Even if Qin Bing is facing it, he is not an opponent head-on, let alone Yingtian.
"Unless we can lead a large army to the West now, there is nothing else we can do."
Meng Yi's face changed.
The problem is that Daqin is nearly 10,000 kilometers away from Rome, and even if you use a hot air balloon, it is impossible to reach it.
Daqin has steam trains and railroad tracks, but there are no other places, so they can't be connected at all.
"Order Li Xin, Yinggao, and Wang Ben to end the Eastern War as soon as possible, and half a month later, I will personally conquer the war." In the depths of Ying Zheng's eyes, a trace of sharpness flashed.
I have to admit that even he didn't expect that this national war would be put in the West by chance.
"Yes, I should have guessed long ago that with my Great Qin suppression, most of the forces in the east would run to the west."
He took a sip from his glass, shaking his head and sighing.
"Your Majesty, is it a little too impulsive?" Meng Yi was stunned.
"In the past two years, there have been as many as 20,000 assassins who have infiltrated my Great Qin, and there are people who want to assassinate you almost all the time, once you leave Great Qin, I am afraid that an accident will happen." Zhang Han blurted out.
Xianyang City has been built into a steel castle, and anyone who sets foot in this place will die, and even so, so many people have come forward to assassinate the First Emperor.
Once you leave Daqin......
The assassins on the road are probably countless times more than the assassins that Yingtian encountered in the Rest Empire.
The identity of Qin Shi Huang is really too important, and it has an undoubted role for the entire Great Qin, and there is no room for the slightest accident.
He didn't even dare to think about what would happen if the First Emperor had an accident.
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to put on his armor, lead the army to attack, and go to the west with the fourth prince, be sure to rescue the ninth prince, you don't need to risk your life."
Zhang Han took a deep breath and continued to speak.
"Needless to say, I have made up my mind, prepare the chariot, and drive the expedition in person."
Ying Zheng waved his hand and spoke again.
This time, Zhang Han and Meng Yi didn't say anything more, they knew that Qin Shi Huang had already made a decision, and after nodding slightly, they turned their heads and left as fast as they could, and went to prepare.
The First Emperor drove his own expedition and killed from the east to the west, this is not a joke, there are too many things to prepare.
There is not much time left for them to prepare, only half a month.
"Lao Jiu, I hope you can hold on until the moment I arrive in the West." Ying Zheng raised his head, his deep eyes looked into the depths of the starry sky, and a trace of worry appeared in his eyes.
He is an emperor through the ages, not an immortal, and it is impossible to pinch and calculate, and predict the development of everything.
The kings of the other forces are not fools, but living people.
Zhang Han was very efficient, and on the second day, he sent the news out, informing Li Xin, Wang Ben, and the fourth prince Yinggao to prepare for war.
When they first learned the news, the three of them were all stunned, a little incredulous, and didn't know why they did this, but when they knew that it was Yingtian who was in danger, the eyes of the three of them instantly turned red.
They have been on the battlefield together and fought in the Six Kingdoms, and their relationship is extremely deep.
Not to mention that Yingtian is still the second Qin who is predetermined, his identity is very important, and there is no room for mistakes.
Moreover, Wang Li and Zhang Jiu are both in the West, so it is naturally impossible for Zhang Han and Wang Ben to be indifferent.
Wang Benzheng led an army of 700,000 to guard the Xiongnu, hunted and killed the remnants of Tocharian and other countries, and after leaving 100,000 people to suppress the border, he did not hesitate to lead the army in the direction of Li Xin and others.
Two days later, the armies of the two sides converged, with 1.7 million Qin soldiers.
This battle, compared to the previous war, was much more difficult, so Qin Shi Huang ordered that all ordinary people should stay in Daqin and not be allowed to step into the West.
"Damn, dare to bully the Ninth Prince, I will definitely cut off Ashoka's head." Li Xin was carrying a broadsword in his hand, and his body was full of evil energy.
Wang Ben and Yinggao's faces were also full of anger.
After the three of them gathered, they took the lead in mobilizing a logistics force of one million people on the road, and then sent a cavalry of 200,000 people to take the lead, and then waited in Longxi County, waiting for the arrival of Qin Shi Huang.
The time given by Yingzheng was half a month, but Zhang Han was very efficient, and everything was arranged on the tenth day.
Outside the city of Xianyang.
"Expedition!"
The drums of war are beating, and the whole army is attacking!
Nearly a thousand members of the Black Ice Platform in Great Qin were dispatched in unison, hiding in the shadows, responsible for protecting the safety of the First Emperor.
There are not many people around, only tens of thousands.
Those soldiers were waiting in Longxi County.
It is worth mentioning.
This time to attack the West, Qin Shi Huang specially brought the Buddha to speed up the spread of news, so as to cause psychological pressure on Ashoka and others and disturb the morale of his army.
There are many factors that affect the outcome of a war, and psychological stress is absolutely unquestionable.
Besides, this time is a decisive battle, and I am not afraid of leaking the news.
At this moment, the live broadcast room of Xia Guo was crowded with people, and all Xia Guo people were stunned, their faces were full of disbelief, and some people wondered if they had just gotten up and were still dreaming.
: What happened, Brother Zheng wants to take the imperial expedition and attack the West?
: Did the eldest brother come out and explain what happened and why the First Emperor was so angry this time?
: Your Majesty, you are delicate and frail, once an accident happens, it will be over, think twice!
A.S.: Isn't the war in the West already over? Is there something going on that we don't know about?
: The Mauryan Dynasty has not been destroyed yet, why did the First Emperor lead the army to leave?
All netizens were confused, confused, and unable to guess the thoughts of the First Emperor.
It didn't take long for Wang Lao to stand up and give an answer.
"The Anxi Empire led the army to kill the city of Rome, and the Mauryan Empire followed closely behind, killing Rome, the center of gravity of the national war has shifted to the west, and the war in the east is over."
: Damn, how long has it been since the war in the East ended directly?
: Really, the Peacock Dynasty and the Rest Empire all killed Great Qin?
: Yes, the Mauryan Empire is in a state of anger and will definitely choose to kill the West
At first, netizens still didn't understand the meaning of Wang's old words, but after thinking about it carefully, they suddenly realized.
After thinking about all this, everyone's heart sank to the bottom.
Daqin is nearly 10,000 kilometers away from Rome, and even the fastest cavalry will take half a year to arrive, and the infantry in the rear may take two or three years or even longer.
It's true that Daqin has a railway network, but other forces don't!
Instead, he invented simple bicycles and steam cars, but this kind of thing was much worse than the bronze chariot of Daqin, and it could not increase the travel speed at all.
Ying Zheng, Zhang Han and others were very fast, borrowing a steam train, and arrived in Longxi County in just half a day.
The science and technology along the way in Daqin made future generations secretly talk.
The development of the railway network is far beyond people's imagination, and it is not much worse than that of later generations.
Some people have sharp eyes, and they vaguely see iron ore everywhere along the way, and they don't know how much ore reserves Daqin has.
"See Your Majesty!"
Ying Gao, Li Xin, and Wang Ben, all of them were waiting here, and they immediately stepped forward to meet them.
The three of them were murderous, and there was a fire in their hearts.
"Expedition."
Ying Zheng bowed slightly.
When he came to the outside of the city, he looked at the chariot in front of him, frowned, waved his hand and ordered someone to take it away, and then under the stunned eyes of everyone, he randomly found a war horse and turned over on the horse.
In the eyes of later generations, Qin Shi Huang just looked big, should be pampered, delicate and frail.
At this moment, I found that Qin Shi Huang's physical fitness was much more terrifying than that of many professional athletes, whether it was the posture of horseback riding or the riding skills, it was amazing.
"Many people only remember the name of the First Emperor of the Ages, but they forget that Qin Shi Huang is also an emperor who rose in the end of the Weima."
In the conference hall, Elder Wang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
When a person becomes famous, people will subconsciously focus on his highest achievement, and often ignore other achievements, as well as other merits.
The First Emperor's horsemanship, art of war, and layout ability were all ignored.
To a certain extent, Yingtian was taught by Yingzheng, can Yingzheng's ability be worse than Yingtian?
"Remember, protect Your Majesty, no matter what, you can't let anything happen to Your Majesty, and Daqin will be handed over to me." Meng Yi looked at the four people in front of him and said solemnly.
The First Emperor personally attacked the West, but it was impossible to leave no manpower unattended.
Obviously, he is the candidate.
Qin Shi Huang took Ying Gao, Wang Ben, Li Xin, and Zhang Han to conquer the West, and he stayed behind to supervise Great Qin, responsible for the deployment of troops and generals, and the handling of other matters.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty will leave it to us, you don't need to worry, by the way, I have arranged soldiers outside the city walls, and I will continue to capture the traversers and slaves of Tocharo."
After Li Xin and the others agreed, they turned over and got on their war horses and left with the First Emperor.
There is no room for further delays.
"Let's go."
Meng Yi stood at the gate of the city, staring into the distance, and when everyone's figures disappeared, he led people away with serious eyes, and there were too many things for him to deal with next.
"Elder Wang, judging from the speed of the First Emperor and others, it will take half a year to reach Rome at the earliest, and most importantly, in five months, winter will come, and it will be very difficult to hurry."
Li Meng tapped on the keyboard with both hands, calculating the speed of the First Emperor and the others, his eyes full of worry.
With so many people around the First Emperor to protect him, there will be no accidents, but Yingtian is different.
