Chapter 114: The Time Has Come, Conquer Donghu!
In the days that followed, nothing was a big deal.
After saying goodbye to Sima Li, Han Xin finally chose to go to Wei Chi to try. I told Wei Chi to watch him carefully, and to make plans if he could.
Li Si has changed a lot since he was beaten by me intentionally or unintentionally in the school palace that day. In the past, he always took care of more political affairs, and he wanted to be like Yingzheng, and he had to deal with everything by himself, but now he has gradually begun to delegate the power in his hands to those who originally belonged to the duties of those officials, and he is also a lot more humble.
I know that the trip to the school palace was not in vain, and I can rest assured of him a little.
As for Yinglan's Zhongding Pavilion and Baoyue Tower, the business is indescribably hot, and even if I want to go, I have to greet her in advance. She originally planned to leave me a room, but after thinking about it, there was no need, the taste of those dishes was still a little different from that of later generations, and it was just a matter of trying it occasionally, and the Shang Restaurant in the palace could also do it.
The days passed day by day until the beginning of spring the following year.
Xianyang Palace, in the Temple of the Four Seas.
"Qi Xuan, hasn't there been any news from Zhang Wei yet?"
Qi Wan bowed and saluted: "Back to Your Majesty, not yet." ”
Qi Wan has long been used to it, when Zhang Wei first left, I asked them where they were almost every day, and then after a long time, I asked them again every five or six days.
I threw away the newspaper in my hand and got up and moved my body.
"It's been a year soon, and since Zhang Wei left Dunhuang, there has been no news coming, and I'm quite worried."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Now the construction of the five counties of Hexi has just begun, and from east to west, the post house in the land of Dunhuang is also the most rudimentary, with only 100 people stationed there. Lord Zhang, they can't send news from thousands of miles away, and it's normal. ”
I nodded, turned around and asked, "It's been twenty days since the last time, Wu Jian's recital should arrive today, right?" ”
Qi Wan bowed and said, "The minister will go to the Zhongshu Scholar's Mansion to have a look." ”
Two quarters of an hour later, Qi Wan returned with two letters.
"Your Majesty, it's General Meng and General Wu's recital, just arrived."
I took it and opened Meng Tian's military newspaper first.
Last autumn, the Xiongnu joined forces with Beihu and Donghu to loot the Great Wall, but it was only a huge momentum and did not get any substantial benefits, which caused Beihu to be extremely dissatisfied with the Xiongnu. Err even withdrew directly halfway, and instead extorted a lot of grain from Donghu Titomur.
Although Titomur's territory was small, it occupied the north of Liaodong, the Great Xianbei Mountain (Daxing'an Mountains) to the east of Yanshan, and was regarded as half farming and half herding, so Tito Muer was never too concerned about the plundering of Daqin.
In the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor, if it weren't for the rare heavy snowfall, Titomur would not have ventured to conspire with Tou Mandanyu to go south. Although this did not happen, it aroused Er'er's dissatisfaction, believing that he did not cooperate with the Xiongnu, and Titomur should not cross himself and attack with the Xiongnu.
In this timeline, Donghu is not a complete tribe, and the relationship between Donghu and Beihu is the same as that between Beiqiang and Qiang.
According to Meng Tian's inference, the Xiongnu had encountered a nose of dust on the Great Wall, and they should not choose to attack the Great Wall directly this spring, but would still look for an opportunity to attack the Hexi Corridor.
Beihu and Donghu fought over Donghu's territory, and last winter braved heavy snow to fight a skirmish north of Yanshan, and if nothing else, there will be another battle this spring.
After reading Meng Tian's military report, I picked up Wu Jian's military report again.
Wu Jian would send a report every twenty days, and now he was stationed south of Yangle in Liaoxi County with 30,000 cavalry, training every day. It is very close to the Great Wall of Liaodong and Liaoxi, which is convenient for attacking Donghu, and it is close to the grassland, so you can also get the horses you need.
According to the military newspaper, Beihu was ready to move, and a total of 60,000 cavalry had been assembled eighty miles north of the Xilin River and at the source of the Xilamulun River. These two places can cross the mountain pass between the remaining veins of Daxianbei Mountain and the remaining veins of Yanshan to the east, and enter the vast land of Liaodong, and there are only two passages between Donghu and Beihu through cavalry.
After reading the military reports of the two, I knew that the time had come to attack Donghu. If Er'er and Titomur's sandpiper clam fight and both lose, it is not impossible to win it together with Beihu.
It's just that what the Huns should do.
"Go and call Li Si and Feng Zheng."
Soon after, the two came in a hurry.
Since Feng Quji's death, Feng Zheng has been much more stable, and the temperament of the prime minister on his body has become increasingly serious.
I'll show the military newspaper to the two of them.
"Now that the time has come to attack Donghu, I have nothing to worry about against Donghu, but what is the solution to the trouble of the Huns?"
The two of them were stunned, this thing, we haven't fought before, how dare you be foolish......
Li Si thought for a while, and said euphemistically: "Your Majesty, the minister has never experienced a battle, I'm afraid...... There is no good solution. ”
Feng Zai echoed: "What Li Xiang said is good, and the minister has no experience in leading troops to fight, so he ...... There is no good solution. ”
I patted my forehead and said with a smile: "I'm confused, there is really no one who can be a general in the court now, Qi Liang and Wei Chi are too young, I'm afraid there is no good advice." It seems that we still need to set up a lieutenant as soon as possible. ”
Feng Zheng was blunt: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zhang Han, the commander of the guards, can be of great use, and when he returns to the dynasty, even if he is not made a captain, he cannot be easily sent to the county." ”
Li Si bowed slightly, expressing his approval.
I smiled slightly: "What Feng Xiang said is reasonable. When I sent him over, I didn't want to fight Donghu yet. ”
Seeing that the two of them didn't dare to make casual suggestions, I got up and waved my hand.
"Go ahead, I'll think again."
After the two left, I thought about it and couldn't think of any good way, so I turned around and left the palace.
Go and try your luck with Wei Chi and Han Xin!
When I arrived at the annex, I looked at the gate in front of me, which had not changed in the slightest, and my brow furrowed slightly.
When I walked in, I suddenly saw that the flowers and trees inside had been almost uprooted, and the center of the courtyard was emptied, and only two flags were erected. One pole is slightly higher, which is the Qinzi flag, and one pole is slightly lower, which is the black dragon flag. My brows gradually stretched, and it seemed that Wei Chi's execution was still good.
While I was looking around, Wei Chi came in a hurry, followed by Han Xin.
"I've seen Your Majesty. Why didn't Your Majesty send someone to inform the minister in advance? The minister is late, please forgive your majesty. ”
I smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll come and see how the Great Qin Military Mansion is doing." ”
The other garden is relatively large, and I walked briefly with the two of them, and the transformation is not bad, a bit like a military school.
Then the three of them sat down in the side hall, looked at Han Xin in front of them, and asked, "Han Xin, how are you doing here?" ”
Han Xin bowed, with a smile on his face, and he had long since lost his depression in the inn.
"Back to Your Majesty, I believe that I am fortunate to have the grace of Your Majesty, and I will not give up on the order of Colonel You, and I am participating in the transformation of the Great Qin Military Mansion, thank Your Majesty."
I nodded, "That's fine." I have one more question for today. ”
Then I talked about the problems I was facing.
