Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 254 If you don't take the opportunity to kill them, when will you wait?

As soon as he said a word, even Zhang Liang, who was struggling in Qin Mo's arms, became quiet in an instant, pricking up his ears and waiting for Qin Mo's answer.

Qin Mo glanced at everyone's faces, and said solemnly: "How can you ignore those who jump on the beam? Order the soldiers and soldiers to stand on guard and not relax for a moment!"

"Tomorrow, I will send envoys to warn my generation. If soldiers from the Western Regions dare to take a step across our Hexi border during Gu's wedding, Gu's wedding will not be held, and I will lead my soldiers to destroy them immediately!"

Cao Shen, Xia Houying, Zhou Bo, Kui and others were all excited when they heard the words, eager to try.

But Xiao He, Liu Ji, including Zhang Liang, showed suspicion on their faces.

There is a way to be obedient and listen to the sound. Although Qin Mo's words were full of evil spirits, the meaning in them was conservative.

The translation is: [Don't provoke me, I don't bother to talk to you! 】

The reason why the countries of the Western Regions sent troops to the border was because they were afraid of Yingzheng who was patrolling the west, and beat the rabbits to kill them, so they put on the posture of the flat-headed brother of the Western Regions, in order to promote peace through war and let Yingzheng Don't play their minds!
Therefore, unless the countries in the Western Regions really don't want to think about it, their brains are out of control, and the old nephew lights up the lantern...to seek death...then they will take the initiative to provoke wars and seek to be destroyed by the Great Qin.

The translation is also conservative: 【Don't touch me, we'll live in peace, otherwise I'll try my best to bite off a piece of your flesh! 】

In short, neither side has the intention to initiate a war. If this continues, there is a high probability that this battle will not be fought...

However, whether it was Xiao He, Liu Ji, or Zhang Liang, all three felt that things were not that simple.

Qin Mo's conservative remarks are really not in line with Da Qin's aggressive aggressiveness.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
So all three are suspicious!

However, Qin Mo had already put the words aside, even though the three of them had all sorts of doubts in their hearts, they could only keep silent in their hearts, shut up and stop asking further questions.

"Who is in charge at the border at this time?"

They didn't ask, but Qin Mo took the initiative to ask about the border.

When the three of them heard the words, all their doubts disappeared immediately.

confirmed!
Sure enough, the imperial court had the intention of hugging grass and beating rabbits from the very beginning!
It was only because of the fierce reaction of the countries in the Western Regions that they turned to put on a posture of being too lazy to talk to the countries in the Western Regions.

And this gesture, in the final analysis, is just playing hard to get!
"Zuo Lieutenant Han Xin is the general, and former Prime Minister Zhang Cang is the supervisor of the army, in charge of border affairs..."

Zhang Liang tried his best to escape from Qin Mo's arms, and replied.

Qin Mo was stunned for a moment, and then almost burst out laughing, he almost forgot about these two talents.

At the beginning, he was thrown outside the Great Wall by himself, but now a few years later, he is still outside the Great Wall, and his official title is getting higher and higher...

It is reassuring to have these two great talents sitting on the border!

"I don't know if that Han Xin is still so hairy? Is that Zhang Cang still fat?" Qin Mo suppressed a smile and asked with a smack of his lips.

Everyone also knows that the current situation of the two great talents was created by Qin Mo alone, and while they are envious in their hearts, they can't help but laugh.

Liu Ji took a sip of wine and said, "General Han is still such a hairy man, he can offend the entire court with a single sentence... As for Zhang Xiang, he is fat, but he is black and fat, and he still wears Confucian robes, Hu Ji doesn't even want to do business with him because of his strange appearance, so she takes a detour when she sees him..."

Everyone couldn't hold back anymore: "Puff ha ha ha ha ha..."

Unscrupulous laughter filled the hall.

The festivities continued.

Tread-tap-

The hurried and chaotic sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded outside the hall.

Although Qin Mo was slightly drunk, his five senses were still sharp, so he heard the sound of horseshoes outside the hall immediately, and an extremely nonsensical thought came to his mind.

I have just passed the addiction of being a monarch, is it possible that someone is going to force the palace to rebel?
The sound of horseshoes came from far to near, Zhang Liang, Xiao He and others probably heard them too, they all stopped to change cups and looked outside the hall.

Under the high steps outside the hall, there was indeed an armored knight with a command flag on his back, looking at the dust.

The leading knight jumped off his horse with one leg, and quickly climbed up the high steps in front of the hall, shouting loudly: "Report~! Urgent report of the Qiang Army~!!!"

Expediting the military situation has always had the privilege of entering the palace gate.

Qin Mo frowned and strode out of the hall, meeting the armored knight, "Where is the military situation?"

The knight took off the cowhide tube behind him, and presented it with both hands: "The military situation is here!"

Qin Mo took the cowhide box, stuffed the wine bottle in his hand to him, motioned him to drink to quench his thirst, then opened the cowhide box, and took out the paper sealed with red lacquer inside to watch.

At this time, all the Chinese, military and military officials in the palace had also come out with him, all with solemn expressions.

Just now the knight shouted the urgent report of the Qiang army, and they all heard it clearly, so they had some guesses in their hearts.

The countries in the Western Regions have always wanted to win over the Qiangs on the plateau who have geographical advantages, and together guard against the evil dragon that is about to move, the Great Qin.

Once the two parties join forces, it will be an extremely troublesome enemy for Daqin!
The officials in the Hexi region know best how troublesome the plateau is. The people of Hexi Kingdom used to have conflicts with the Qiangs, and often occupied the pastures and barley fields on the plateau.

But in the end they all gave up voluntarily, and very few of them could hold on.

Because most of the soldiers and civilians in Hexi couldn't adapt to the plateau, they became soft-legged shrimps when they went up. Even if they could win for a while with armored battles, they couldn't live there for a long time!
On the other hand, the Qiang people who have lived on the plateau for generations, even if they retreat for a while when they lose, they can quickly organize a counterattack and take back the lost pastures and fields.

The Qiangs regard the altitude sickness as the gods of the Great Snow Mountain, who protect the Qiang people. Although they cannot be said to be invincible when facing the Great Qin, they can really give the Great Qin a headache...

If the Qiangs really unite with the countries of the Western Regions, and the two sides echo each other from a distance, the Hexi Kingdom will be caught blind!
Even if Daqin can wipe out both parties in the end, the Hexi Kingdom, which is surrounded by double-teams, will also be reduced to ruins, and the painstaking efforts of more than three years will be in vain!

"The countries in the Western Regions also have courageous people..."

After Qin Mo read the military situation, he gave a solemn expression of admiration.

Then, he handed the paper to the old Wei Liao and asked him to look at it, and at the same time explained to the anxious civil and military officials: "The coalition forces of the Western Regions have set up a suspicious formation at the border, and there is another main force that has already attacked the plateau! "

"The Qiangs pretended to be smart, and they also regarded the countries in the Western Regions as targets for alliances, so that their defenses were lax, and now they have no resistance~!"

wow——

All civil and military officials were in an uproar, surprised at the boldness of the countries in the Western Regions.

This is undoubtedly a risky move, but it is also an undoubtedly wonderful move.

The countries in the Western Regions may also know that once Qin Mo arrived in Hexi, the chances of the Qiangs accepting their wooing and forming an alliance with them were very small.

No matter what gestures Qin Mo and the Qin court make, they can't just watch the plateau land fall into the hands of Da Qin, otherwise, even if Yingzheng's western tour won't destroy them, they can be manipulated by both sides at any time in the future them.

Therefore, they chose to be the first to attack, capture strategic locations on the plateau, and seize the initiative!
Perhaps the countries in the Western Regions had two-handed plans from the very beginning, if they could win over the Qiangs, they would win them over, and if they couldn't win them over, they would immediately send troops to attack.

However, the Qiang tribes really regard themselves as a rare treasure for everyone, and they really regard altitude sickness as a talisman for all spirits. They are vacillating between the two parties and want to choose a situation that is beneficial to them.

But the fact is that only Daqin treats them as treasures, and Daqin is not easy to deal with. If they continue to sway, if the countries in the Western Regions don't do anything, Daqin will do it too!
And the altitude sickness that protected the Qiang people may have a miraculous effect in small-scale conflicts. After all, neither the people in Hexi nor the countries in the Western Regions have any intention of starting a war with the Qiangs, but want to win them over.

But now, the countries in the Western Regions don't want to be used to them anymore. Tens of thousands of troops attacked the plateau. If they could display [-] to [-] percent of their combat power, the Qiangs would have no power to fight back, only to be slaughtered and flee in embarrassment!

This is actually one of the plans discussed by Yingzheng and the accompanying ministers. Whenever the Qiangs show signs of alliance with the Western Regions, Qin Mo will immediately lead the Hexi garrison to attack the plateau, and use force to subdue the Qiangs.

And there is no need for an army of tens of thousands at all, five thousand warriors equipped with firearms are enough!

"Qin Hou, you don't need to pay attention to the allied forces of the Western Regions who attacked the plateau. After a while, they will lose all their fighting power."

"Take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to attack the Western Regions Allied Forces that have previously set up a suspicious formation in the front, and wipe out this jumping beam in one fell swoop. It will not be too late to turn around and slowly deal with the Western Regions Allied Forces on the plateau!"

The old Wei Liao quickly read the military situation, and solemnly offered advice to Qin Mo.

All the civil and military officials nodded in agreement when they heard the words. This old Wei Liao is indeed a great strategist who assisted Yingzheng in annexing the six countries.

Tens of thousands of troops from the countries of the Western Regions went to the plateau, which is equivalent to abolishing the martial arts of tens of thousands of troops. All of them have become soft-legged shrimps. Even if they occupy the plateau, they only have the power to defend. , but no threat.

Even, it is not as good as the original Qiangs, who have a deterrent effect on the Hexi country. At least the Qiang people can fight when they rush down to the plateau!
The coalition forces of the Western Regions were not the opponents of the Qin kingdoms in the first place, they just pretended to die with the Hexi Kingdom to pretend to be tough. Now that they have abolished the martial arts of tens of thousands of troops, they are not the opponents of the Great Qin kingdoms up.

They attacked the Qiang tribes who wanted to belong to the Great Qin, and they also took the initiative to provoke a war.

If you don't take the opportunity to kill them, when will you wait?

Save it for the Spring Festival!

Qin Mo nodded, approving the old Wei Liao's strategy, but he said to the armored knight who was holding a wine bottle and accepting Liu Ji's pour: "How about the casualties of the Qiang soldiers and civilians?"

The armored knight immediately replied: "Report to my lord, according to the Qiang herdsmen who fled to the plateau to seek refuge, the casualties of various tribes were very heavy, and the number of people captured by the coalition forces of the Western Regions was as many as tens of thousands."

"The leaders of the ministries are still integrating the troops to resist, but I'm afraid they won't last long!"

Qin Mo nodded, and continued to ask: "Is there any news about Dunwei?"

The armored knight shook his head: "Not yet."

Dunwei led a group of imperial guards to the plateau, and sent invitations to his wedding to the Qiang tribes.

Now that sudden changes have taken place, a great war has begun on the plateau, and the Qiangs have been defeated for thousands of miles, and the old man does not know whether he can escape from death!

Qin Mo didn't ask any more questions, and said to Liu Ji: "Take the messengers down to have a rest, and if they are full with wine and meat, they will be recorded as first-class military merit."

"Here."

Liu Jiyi took the order, and led the armored knight down the high steps in front of the hall, and went to the side hall with several other knights.

Qin Mo turned to look at the old Wei Liao and the civil servants and generals who were eager to try, and said solemnly: "Ling, immediately rectify the [-] soldiers in the city, bring enough firearms and livestock, and set off tomorrow morning to attack the plateau!"

The old Wei Liao and the civil servants and military generals subconsciously wanted to greet each other, but before they opened their mouths, they were all stunned.

what's the situation?

Isn't it attacking the Western Regions Allied Forces who are facing the suspicious formation?

How to go to the thankless attack on the plateau?
"Qin Hou, you... are you trying to rescue Dunwei?"

The old Wei Liao blinked his eyes in bewilderment and hesitated to make a sound. He really couldn't figure out what kind of chess Qin Mo was taking this move?

Qin Mo also didn't intend to show off, and said bluntly: "Of course, the weak old man wants to save, but the more important thing is to save the Qiang people."

"I, Daqin, want the surrender of the Qiangs, not only for the wild plateau, but also for the people of the Qiangs."

"If we ignore the Qiang people this time and attack the Western Region coalition forces in front, even if we win a big victory, when we go back and deal with the Western Region coalition forces on the plateau, I am afraid that the Qiang people will also die."

"This is what I don't want to see, and it's also what His Majesty doesn't want to see!"

"If you save land and lose people, you will lose all people and land. If you save people and lose land, you will lose all people and land. Surely you all understand the truth?"

The old Wei Liao and Zhu Wenwu suddenly looked at the problem from different angles, and it was normal for Qin Mo to have such an order.

Therefore, everyone stopped hesitating, raised their hands and said solemnly: "I understand, I will obey the order of the lord~!!!"

……

……

The next day, the [-] guards in Yangcheng were ready to go, and the medical soldiers were already in place. Qin Mo put on his silver armor, rode his sweaty white horse, and wanted to lead the army to go out in person.

However, when he finished his pre-war mobilization and stepped down as a general, the old Wei Liao held him back: "Your Majesty has a secret order that Prime Minister Qin must not personally go to dangerous places when he returns home."

Qin Mo: "..."

The corner of Qin Mo's mouth twitched, he really didn't expect Ying Zheng to arrange such a trick secretly, and immediately winked at Liu Ji who was beside him.

Liu Jibie didn't have any skills, but he was definitely smart enough and had a good temper.

Seeing Qin Mo throwing his eyes over him, he immediately turned to wink at his brothers, and then stepped forward together and pulled the old Wei Liao away from Qin Mo: "Old Xianggong, let's not make trouble... the lord is going to fight In the near future, there is no reason to change generals... You said that His Majesty has a secret decree, what is the secret decree?"

The old Wei Liao was furious: "The junior is rude... let go, Your Majesty's secret key is in the old man's arms, and I will take it out to the Marquis of Qin for a look!"

Without Qin Mo's order, Xia Houying, Zhou Bo and others would not let go.

Liu Ji licked his face and stretched his hand into the old Wei Liao's arms, and asked, "Old Master, Your Majesty's secret message is in your arms, right? Your Majesty will help you take it out!"

The old Wei Liao was like a young daughter-in-law who was about to be raped, his beard curled up in anger: "Nonsense, let go!"

Liu Ji touched his arms for a while, and finally said helplessly, "No?"

A group of people surrounded the old Wei Liao to make fun of him, and couldn't help laughing at the civil and military left behind.

But Qin Mo has already mounted the bloody white horse: "Let's march~!"
