Destiny Only Han

"The last general invites Ying, and is willing to lead one hundred thousand troops to sweep the south of Yinshan Mountain and restore the old frontier of Qin State!"

After Liu Ying finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.

"Restore Qin's old frontier?"

Some people murmured softly, shocked by Liu Ying's bold idea.

After all, it has only been 12 years since the official demise of the Qin State. Everyone knew exactly where Qin State controlled the northern border.

Jiuyuan County, Yunzhong County, and the most elite Helan Mountain in Beidi County!

These are all territories retaken by the Xiongnu. The area is so vast that it is equivalent to four or five counties in the interior!

Of course, the population is far worse...

But what more people murmured softly was what Liu Ying said, leading one hundred thousand troops.

Lead one hundred thousand soldiers!

Today's standing army directly under the Han Empire is only more than 40 at full strength, and only about 20 can be used for mobile warfare. Liu Ying touched half of the army with his upper and lower lips!

If there is no army, then they are still playing a fart!
So without waiting for Liu Bang to object, Taiwei Lu Wan, who was named the commander-in-chief of the Han army, yelled: "You are not big, and your tone is not small! I will give you [-] soldiers at most..."

"Not enough..." Liu Ying frantically shook her head, interrupting Lu Wan:

"The Huns did not kill all the captured Qin people, but let them stay in the field to farm, and only need to hand in a little harvest every year as a tribute! Therefore, those Qin people are very loyal to the Huns. Our army Attacking the land by force will inevitably cause them to resist..."

"[-] cavalry can only plunder land, not enough to recover the old territory and prevent the counterattack of the Huns!"

Well, in fact, the concept of nationalism did not exist until the modern era. Before that, no matter ancient or modern, Chinese and foreign, everyone is a mother if they have milk. alliance.

For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Tuogu important official Jin Riyi called Shu Han, the Tuqishiren brother who called An Lushan "you are a barbarian, and your whole family is a barbarian"...

Also, during the Mongolia-Song War, those Mongolian herdsmen who could not bear the oppression of the Mongolian nobles and defected to the Song Dynasty, when they fought with the Mongolian soldiers, they fought more bravely than the Song soldiers who had endured the destruction of mountains and rivers...

And the army that carried Kublai Khan all the way to become Emperor Yuan and killed the so-called invincible Mongolian cavalry was not another Mongolian army, but a group of Han army princes...

Well, Kublai Khan named the four chiefs, not only are there not enough four people, two of them are children.

An Tong, a descendant of Mu Huali, was 13 years old at the time, and Yue Chichaer, a descendant of Borhu, was 12 years old...

Moreover, during the Yuan Dynasty, Qixue (the emperor’s personal soldiers), who were supposed to be composed of Mongols, had a good future, high salary and good status, so they were often mixed in by Han children. The Yuan Dynasty rectified this many times, but there was no way to solve it...

Therefore, most of the remnants and defeated generals who fled to Mobei with Emperor Yuan Shun at the end of the Yuan Dynasty were Han Chinese, and the serious Mongols stayed in the Ming Dynasty as obedient citizens because they became serfs...

Another thing is that during the Revolution of [-], the Manchus in Northeast China used the slogan to prevent the Qing Emperor from returning to the east...

Hearing that Lu Wan and the others still did not agree to his request, and were always clamoring about the distribution of troops, Liu Ying looked at Han Tan who was already standing at the door holding the map, and paused heavily on the flag in her hand again:

"Don't talk, I have a big face, listen to me!"

So, with a pair of eyes that were either surprised or couldn't laugh anymore, Liu Ying signaled Han Tan to bring up the map and spread it in the hall.

He pointed to the old Great Wall in the north of Fushi County in Shangjun (Yan'an, Shaanxi) and said:
"My family, look at the map! The distance from here to Chang'an City is only eight or nine hundred miles! What is this equivalent to? This is a hungry wolf lying outside your door!"

"With such a hungry wolf lying on its stomach, do you still have the heart to argue here? Should I say that you are big-hearted? Or are you white... big-hearted?"

Under Liu Bang's threatening eyes, Liu Ying swallowed the word 'idiot' back, and looked at Lu Wan and Fan Kui who were discussing around the map with a sarcasm.

What he said was actually a fact that the feudal dynasty, which had always had its capital in Guanzhong, was the greatest enemy of the nomads in the northwest.

And after the desertification of the northwest, the enemies of the Central Plains Dynasty became the enemies of the north or the northeast, until a certain month in a certain year, the enemy came across the sea...

Liu Bang slowly stepped down from the top of the Danbi, looked at the map with his arms crossed for a long time, and asked in a deep voice: "A hundred thousand soldiers, are you sure?"

Liu Ying raised her face and nodded silently.

In the past few years, he has infiltrated the area south of the Yin Mountain into a sieve. In many fortresses where Qin people lived in the past, there are a considerable number of people who want to be naturalized.

After all, today's Han Empire is more open and tolerant than the Qin Empire, more eclectic, and less taxed, and the most important thing is that the economy is developing very well, and people naturally have to go to higher places.

The reason why Liu Ying wanted so many troops was not just to attack the city, but more importantly, to form a defense line for Yunzhong County, which is the Hohhot area of ​​later generations. He needed these troops before the Great Wall in the north of the former Qin State was restored. The Great Wall of flesh and blood formed to resist the counterattack of the Huns.

Han Xin, who was forced by Liu Ying, came over, looked at the map and said:

"Land grabbing is easy, and defense is also easy. The hard part is how to transfer grain! In the past, the Qin State used the straight road to transport grain, but now that so many years have passed, the straight road outside the old Great Wall has long been abandoned. Every year, the loss of grain transportation alone accounts for at least [-]% of the national treasury revenue!"

"The Marquis of Huaiyin is right, exactly what I want to say..." Liu Bang nodded in agreement, but when he was about to say something, he saw Han Xin's expression of eating a fly, and silently pulled away from him A few steps away.

Cool!Personality, I like it... Liu Ying nodded and said: "So I don't plan to directly send troops to rescue Shangjun. After all, judging from the number of beacon fires, there are not many invading enemies in Shangjun. Under Lin Zhi's command, the Huns will not be able to break through the northern defense line in a short time!"

"Therefore, my plan is to gather troops and send troops to Beidi County, which is the eastern foot of Helan Mountain. The terrain here is flat, the soil is deep, the water is convenient, and it is conducive to self-flow irrigation. If the Huns fortress here is conquered, at least tens of millions of dollars will be gained. Acres of fertile land!"

"Then, the grain ship went down the river, enough to feed the garrisons of Jiuyuan County and Yunzhong County!"

Well, after all, Yinchuan is known as "the land of fish and rice on the south of the Yangtze River". If it is fully reclaimed and built water conservancy, it will not be difficult to feed an army of more than [-].

"How much?" Zhou Bo moved closer to Liu Ying, his eyes wide open, and a poor expression appeared on his face.

His family has many poor relatives and thieves, and he is also a swollen face to pretend to be fat, so he is now extremely concerned about making money.

"Till tens of millions of acres? Is there a problem? I'm still talking too little. If all the plains formed by the impact of the river are reclaimed and converted into Qin acres used in Guanzhong, there will be at least [-] million acres!"

"The important thing is to consider the climate there. It would be a bit wasteful to simply sow food! My suggestion is to pick out some good places to plant grapes...not to eat directly, but to make wine! How much is a high-quality wine? One bottle, I don't think I need to say more?"

Hearing Liu Ying's words, not only Zhou Bo, but also Lu Wan, Li Shang and others standing next to him were stunned. Liu Bang put his hands under his sleeves and counted the grapes on an acre of land with his fingers. How many bottles of wine can be brewed...

Then, everyone showed greedy smiles on their faces.

After all, this is an area ruled by the Huns. When the Huns were driven away, the land was unowned, and everyone could take it into their pockets according to their own ability.

Liu Ying crossed her arms and rolled her eyes imperceptibly.

In fact, he only said a small part. The land suitable for cultivation in the entire Hetao is not only the Yinchuan Plain of later generations, but also the fertile soil on both sides of the Yellow River at the foot of Yinshan Mountain. The important thing is that the fertile land is only the most basic thing. I don't take it very seriously.

What Liu Ying wants most is minerals.

Not to mention that the later generations are called "sheep coal rustic" in Ordos, but the anthracite coal with high calorific value, low ash, low sulfur and low phosphorus at the foot of Helan Mountain has always been a royal tribute!

If it is dug out to replace those bituminous coals, at least it can delay the time for Chang'an City to become a "foggy city"...

Liu Bang clapped his hands, motioning everyone to look at him.

"I remember the prince once said, how can others snore and sleep on the side of the couch! Now that we are a big man with strong soldiers and strong horses, and the country is rich and the people are prosperous, it is time to take back the lost land of Qin State to the north!"

"My plan is to divide the army into three groups!"

"The West Route Army, commanded by the crown prince, swept across the south of the Yin Mountains and regained Qin's old frontier!"

"The Central Route Army will be led by me personally, and I will send the soldiers from the five counties of Hanoi County, Sanchuan County, Yingchuan County, Nanyang County, and Chen County to go north to Yanmen County and join the South Korean and Dai Kingdom troops to find the main force of the Xiongnu for a decisive battle. , attract the attention of the Huns, and cooperate with the West Route Army to fight!"

"As for the Eastern Route Army, under the command of Taiwei Yan Wang Lu Wan, Jing Wang Liu Jia, and Lu King Lu Ze, they will control the armies of Liang, Lu, Zhongshan, Zhao, and Yan. The right and the north are equal, prevent the Xiongnu from attacking the country of Yan, and ensure that the Donghu people will not make any changes!"

Liu Bang carefully issued the order, and at the same time, his eyes were full of majesty, scanning the kings and marquis present, and then said:

"Although Qi Wang Liu Fei is newly married, there is no need to stay in Guanzhong anymore. Return to the fief immediately, cooperate with Qi Prime Minister Cao Can to recruit troops, practice formations, and be ready to go north for reinforcements at any time! Chu Wang Liu Jiao, you also return to the fief immediately, Jing Guo Your army is temporarily under your command... As for Dai Wang Liu Xi..."

Liu Bang was silent for a long time, looking at his second brother's pleading face, he finally sighed softly and said, "Father is old, and he cannot be without someone to take care of him, so you should stay in Zhongyang. You must be careful in the morning and evening, and there is no shortage of three teas and six meals... ...As for the affairs of the middle school, it should still be taken care of by Guo Wei Ding Fu."
