Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 77 Ten days later, the army sets out!
Because they had sent someone to ask for leave when they left the camp, Meng Ying and Han Xin decided to stay overnight at the construction site and have a few meals after seeing the sawmill.

After a while, the steaming noodle soup and Roujiamo were served.

With the full spread of the water mill, the generals in the army, like the soldiers, mainly eat various pasta on a daily basis. The only difference is whether there is meat.

Ordinary soldiers would only get a few pieces of meat as extra meals before going to battle, which is one of the reasons why soldiers are happy when they hear about the battle.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, the three of them finished their meal.

"I don't know when we will be able to leave. I'm starting to miss Xianyang." Meng Ying lay on the grass with a grass stalk in her mouth.

"Are you sure you miss Xianyang, not my sister?"

After Li Qian finished speaking, he thought in his heart, he must marry Li Rou'er off quickly, the girl's family dances all day long, what does it look like!Hugh Mu was finally at home, and she was called up early in the morning to practice boxing!

What makes him desperate is that if he wins against his sister, he will be scolded by his mother; if he pretends to lose to his sister, he will be beaten up by his own father!
In front of his own son, he was spanked by his own father!It's too difficult for me... Li Qian groaned secretly, and became more and more determined to marry off his younger sister as soon as possible.

"Brother, don't joke, Rou'er and I only have brother-sister relationship, we can't get married..." After Meng Ying finished speaking, she suddenly turned to look at Han Xin and said, "Brother, I think Rou'er and Jijilang are the same Perfect match! I'm here to ask His Majesty for a matchmaker, what do you think?"

The eldest brother is like a father, and Li Qian, as the eldest son of Li Xin, can barely speak in Li Rouer's marriage.

Li Qian glanced at Han Xin, who was full of embarrassment, and thought, this man is so weak, I'm afraid my sister could cry several times with one punch... a good match!

Han Xin stammered about the past of having a sweetheart in his hometown, and immediately changed the subject without waiting for Meng Ying to ask questions: "In my opinion, the army will not move in a short time."

Li Qian smiled without saying a word, Meng Ying spat out the straw in her mouth and asked, "Why?"

He then added: "There is no need to talk about the reasons for building equipment, waiting for the soldiers from all over the place to practice formations together, and so on. Tell me something I don't know!"

Hearing what Meng Ying said, Li Qian also stared at Han Xin with a bit of curiosity in his eyes.

Han Xin finished cross-legged, and drew on the ground with a branch: "I once heard people say that many years ago, Yanhan was just a frontier fortress. Later, some Guishou in Guanzhong and Rongdi in the north were migrated. Today's Fanghan County."

"And from the west of Fanghan County, you have entered the territory of the Qiang people."

"Since the defeat of the Qiang people in the reign of Duke Mu, Qin State has not fought against the Qiang people on a large scale. One is because the Qiang people are divided into pieces and do not pose a threat to Qin; the other is the war with the six kingdoms of Shandong, which makes Qin State unable to take action."

"When the world was unified later, the main force of the imperial court was still placed on the counties and counties of the Guandong. Even if it was to deal with the Huns, it only drove them away to the big river, no, it was to the north of the Deshui River, and along the Yinshan Mountains. Build the Great Wall to keep the Xiongnu from invading south."

Li Qian nodded secretly, but he didn't expect that this halberd-wielding man would have some understanding of the situation in the world. The curiosity in his eyes gradually turned into a look of scrutiny at his sister-in-law.

Han Xin continued: "When His Majesty succeeds to the throne, he wants to expand the land and strengthen the people, so there is this war against the Qiang people."

"Expand the soil and strengthen the people?" Meng Ying sat up straight and frowned slightly: "Isn't this battle because of the Qiang invasion, so Your Majesty sent troops to take revenge?"

Li Qian glanced at Meng Ying with the eyes of a fool, and Han Xin asked a little speechlessly: "I remember that when your majesty was discussing sending troops in the prime minister's mansion, you and I were outside the hall. Why, have you forgotten how your majesty is?" Did you say it?"

Meng Ying rubbed the back of her head and said with a smirk on her face, "I was always thinking about the Three Treasures of the Cavalry that His Majesty said, and I didn't listen carefully to what they said!"

At this moment, a steady voice sounded behind them: "Don't pay attention to him, just keep talking."

The three of them turned their heads and saw Li Xin and Qiang Zhonglang General Zhang Han standing behind them at some point.

"I've seen the two generals!" Li Qian and the others hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Zhang Han pulled Li Xin to sit on the ground, and then looked at Habayashiro who set out from Xianyang with him: "You haven't said why the army hasn't moved yet!"

Han Xin was silent for a while, and then said: "The essence of so-called nomadism is the same as that of farming, except that farmers have become herdsmen, cultivated land has become pasture, and crops have become cattle and sheep."

"But if you want to achieve what His Majesty said in the imperial edict, plow the courts, sweep the houses, and put them away in counties and counties. You have to wait until winter comes and the Qiang people turn from nomadic to sedentary."

"Only at this time, there is the possibility of gathering and annihilating them, and never suffering future troubles. If you miss this time, trying to eradicate the Qiang tribes here one by one is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack!"

Li Xin and Zhang Han looked at each other, what Han Xin said was roughly the same as what they discussed with Fusu.

Your Majesty knows people... Li Xin nodded secretly.

Meng Ying suddenly realized: "I see, it seems that you went out to burn the wasteland before, but the Qiang tribe there has already changed, so you missed nothing, but I was lucky enough to come across a winter camp that burns the Qiang... ..."

Han Xin's face was full of black lines, but he continued: "Exactly, the essence of nomadic tribes can be regarded as a city moving along a fixed route."

"The reason is that the carrying capacity of the grassland is limited, so just like farming, it is necessary to convert the grassland to recuperate the soil."

Meng Ying then asked: "According to what you said, how to find the Qiang people's winter camp? When we came back, we searched almost every corner in that area, and we didn't even find a single bird feather!"

Zhang Han said with a smile, "That's another reason why the army stayed in Fanghan."

"It is really difficult for us to find a Qiang camp in the vast grassland. But for Shaodang Qiang, it is extremely easy to find the camp of Xianling Qiang!"

Burn Dang Qiang? ...Han Xin frowned slightly. If he remembered correctly, in His Majesty's secret edict, after the Xianling Qiang had been dealt with, the army needed to go north to capture the front line of Huangshui, which was the site of Shaodang Qiang.

So Shaodang Qiang wants to use the hands of the Qin people to destroy Xianling Qiang who was fighting for territory with them... Ha ha.

"In fact, there are not many places suitable for nomadic herding in the grasslands. The place that can accommodate the Qiang people's camp must be close to the river." Zhang Han used his fingers to draw a few simple strokes on the ground, roughly drawing the shape of the Yellow River, and pointed to one of the river bends. Said: "According to the information provided by Shaodangqiang, this is the camp of Xianlingqiang!"

Li Xin nodded and said: "Ten days later, the army will move out!"
