Daqin: You were asked to build the Great Wall and you destroyed the Huns?

Chapter 216 You can always win in three months.

After dealing with several small clans.

Xiang Yu and hundreds of Xiang's descendants packed their bags that day and were preparing to head west.

A descendant of the Xiang family looked at Xiang Yu worriedly.

"The injury on your leg?"

But Xiang Yu suddenly slapped his thigh twice.

snorted coldly.

"Can such a small injury still trap me?"

After saying that, he turned around and set off first.

He just had a grin on his face when he turned his back to everyone.

At this moment, a notification suddenly came.

"Master! Xunyi is back!"

Xiang Yu was suddenly startled, and then he thought of Xun Yi who was sent to the north by him.

Then he saw it.

Xunyi was dusty but came running with excitement on his face.

"Master! I got the horse back!"

Xiang Yu looked back and saw thousands of horses as tall as one person and full of bulging muscles crowding the streets.

He blinked his eyes, dismounted in disbelief and walked over to meet her. He stepped forward to touch her with some fascination.

I am amazed that there is such a good horse in the world.

Then he turned around suddenly and looked at Xun Yidao in surprise.

"Xunyi! You have made great achievements!"

"Young master, this is the time when you need this horse urgently!"

Xunyi said with some worry.

"But they want our best bronze weapons!"

Xiang Yu didn't care, and licked his lips eagerly.

"Young Master said when we were in Linchen that all future weapons of the army would be replaced by steel!"

"Steel, you know? It's stronger than iron!"

"I have seen the hundred-refined steel of Young Master's Forbidden Army once."

"It's really a magic weapon!"

Then he said with some disgust.

"The Lujiang County is already building it quickly. Soon our Da Qin's iron tools will be used only for plowing!"

"Who would compete with you for that bronze?"

These words finally made Xunyi couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"It's so good, so good, the eliminated bronze wares, maybe they can be exchanged for more horses with Bai Yi!"

Xiang Yu was pleasantly surprised when he heard that he could still change it.

"Hurry up! Follow me to Longxi. When you meet the young master, I'm afraid that not only will you get a big reward, but you will also be able to change your official position and perform some great deeds!"

……

Lintao in Longxi.

The snow had stopped and the ground was covered with a foot of snow.

Ying Xuan stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the mountains in the distance to the west.

In the plain behind them, armies from various counties continued to arrive and gather here.

The Longxi County Sheriff on the side couldn't help but want to persuade Ying Xuan several times.

However, he saw that the imperial guards beside him refused to let him step forward at all.

I could only mutter to the side.

"Even if you suffer a big loss, you can't be so impatient!"

"How can we march quickly in this weather without horses?"

"What's more, although a foot of snow now doesn't have much impact, this kind of weather will happen again at any time."

"At that time, the advancing army will face a situation where its retreat will be cut off and food and grass will be difficult to supply."

"If you don't say it, you will be destroyed by the Qiang tribe. The gain outweighs the loss!"

In his opinion, the eldest son is still too immature. He only has the passion for revenge but does not have the prudence of a general.

But at this time, Ying Xuan suddenly waved his hand and asked the Imperial Army to release him.

The Longxi County Sheriff hurriedly walked up to him and wanted to persuade Ying Xuan.

But who knew that the teenage Ying Xuan turned around slowly, his cold eyes filled with indescribable pressure.

It looked like he swallowed everything he said.

"Longxi County Sheriff?"

"Do you know what it is to lose Guanshan Racecourse?"

Although the Longxi County Sheriff was a little surprised, it was rumored that the kind-hearted eldest son had such strong oppressive power.

But he still maintains his identity as a distant relative of the clan (royal family) and the elder of Yingxuan.

"It is true that the minister made some omissions, but at that time, facing the hundreds of thousands of Qiang troops, we had no choice but to do this for the sake of the people of Longxi!"

"And even if we lose some horses, we can find them again in the spring of next year. We can regain this scale in a few years, which is no big deal to Great Qin!"

But who knows, after that.

Ying Xuan stared at him with cold eyes.

"Then what will you let the soldiers ride in the war with the Huns next spring?"

"Ride you?"

"Did you know that the Xiongnu have always been afraid of me, Da Qin, who not only has the ability to defend, but also has the ability to pursue them deep into the northern grasslands!"

"Now, you have eliminated the greatest pressure exerted by Qin on the Xiongnu by letting the other side pay no price!"

"In the next five years, Da Qin will be able to only defend its borders and will no longer be able to take a step beyond the Great Wall!"

Ying Xuan looked at the Longxi County Sheriff who was already a little flustered.

"You ruined Great Qin's fighter opportunities for the next five years and gave the Xiongnu five years to unscrupulously weaken our Great Qin!"

"What you did was really harmless!"

After the words fell, Longxi County Sheriff realized what kind of crime he had committed.

He couldn't help but swallow his saliva and wanted to defend himself.

"But with the little force I have, I can't do anything at all."

Ying Xuan shouted suddenly.

"That's why you can live now!"

Seeing that Ying Xuan was still angry, the county guard did not dare to talk back.

But I knew in my heart that my career was coming to an end.

At this time, he suddenly thought that the young master had not yet succeeded to the throne of prince.

That means you still can’t hold real power!

My official position was bestowed upon me by His Majesty himself. If I could act like I was being demoted due to persuading the young master.

It is impossible to say that I can still leave a loyal minister's heart in front of His Majesty and keep the position of county governor.

So he spoke again.

"Even so, you must not make a mistake and harm hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Qin Dynasty!"

This time Ying Xuan ignored it, but Zhang Liang beside him spoke directly.

"I thought you were powerless, but now it seems you are completely ignorant, stupid!"

"If you can't counterattack quickly and get the horses back before the snow hits hard, you can save your mistake!"

"When war breaks out with the Huns next year, there will be no chance."

"One wrong step and the next wrong, and when the time comes, Da Qin will have to retreat step by step when facing the Xiongnu."

"I don't even have the energy to pay attention to the Qiang people anymore. I can only let the Qiang people use the horses you raise to plunder my people of Great Qin wantonly!"

After Zhang Liang waved his hand, the imperial army stepped forward and took off the official hat and clothes of the county guard and drove him down the mountain.

Ying Xuan, who was on the top of the mountain, narrowed his eyes and turned around to glance at the village not far away.

There is another girl there who can never find a home again.

"Not only must we snatch them back, we must also scare and destroy the Qiang people!"

"Let all foreigners know what price they have to pay for offending our Great Qin!"

With the blessing of extreme farsightedness, Ying Xuan looked to the west again.

Every time you glance in a direction, you can clearly feel the weather conditions here in the past two days.

"Pass my order, tomorrow morning the army will divide into two groups and advance westward quickly along the Yellow River and Huangshui River."

"Before the next rain or snow comes, attack Qinghai and destroy the Qiang people!"

The forbidden troops behind them retreated one by one and quickly ran towards the various military camps down the mountain.

Zhang Liang glanced at the county guard who was leaving like that, and saw that his face was full of dissatisfaction.

Brow wrinkled slightly.

"I'm afraid this person is still unwilling."

Ying Xuan narrowed his eyes.

"Ignore him, someone will deal with him."

After the county guard came down from the mountain, he asked someone for a horse and galloped along the galloping road towards Xianyang.He wanted to meet with His Majesty and sue the eldest son for his arbitrary dismissal of court officials.

……

Xianyang City, in the Zijin Palace.

"boom!"

Ying Zheng charged the case.

"Is the Sheriff a pig?"

"Without soldiers, he wouldn't move his horses to the southeastern hinterland?"

"Could the group of horses be his family's ancestral grave? Is it so impossible to move them?"

All the ministers in the audience lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

It is very rare for the First Emperor to lose his composure and scold him severely.

Zhao Gao on the side also hesitated to stop talking. He wanted to remind him that he was from the clan.

But I was afraid that I would be in trouble with His Majesty, and I would be unlucky again for no reason.

Fortunately, Li Si stepped forward bravely and said.

"There is news from Longxi that the eldest son has arrived."

"The situation has been controlled at this moment, and troops from various western counties have been summoned. It seems that they are preparing to attack again to get the horses back!"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the doubts of many ministers in the court.

The Taiwei even stood up and questioned.

"No! Now that the rain and snow have begun to accumulate, it is too risky to send troops at this moment!"

"Why don't we start spring next year and send out troops as soon as the snow melts to show off the majesty of the Qin Dynasty!"

But at this time, the First Emperor snorted coldly.

"He still knows to come back?"

"Suppressing Baiyue almost sent him to heaven!
"Didn't he go south to Cochin?"

"You knew you couldn't fight anymore, and you only came back when something happened?"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly.

"Just let him hit!"

"If he can't defeat Jiaozhi, if he can't defeat the Qiang people again, he won't be the prince anymore!"

Looking at the First Emperor who was so angry that he would fight anyone he caught, even his eldest son.

The ministers originally wanted to argue a few words, but at this moment they were all too frightened to say anything more.

Ying Zheng looked extremely ugly.

"Let me see if this kid is really capable."

"If he can get the horse back, I will recognize him as the prince!"

These words made the Taiwei and other original officials blink.

It turns out that His Majesty still has other thoughts about the position of Prince!

This is not possible. These words were so irritating that the imperial censor almost jumped out.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Even Xiqiang dares to take advantage of the Qin Dynasty. If we can't suppress it in time, where will the prestige of the Qin Dynasty be?"

"Fight! Must fight!"

At this moment, several interested ministers suddenly changed their direction.

The imperial censor took the lead in standing up.

"Wei Chen is willing to donate a hundred gold to help the army triumph!"

By the way, he glanced at the Taiwei, who immediately understood and stood up.

"That's right, the soldiers are defending their homes and country in the bitter cold, and we must do our part!"

Li Si was slightly startled. He thought that this was His Majesty's move to consolidate the prince's position once again.

He also took the lead in standing up.

"Wei Chen is also willing to pay a hundred gold!"

With Sangong taking the lead, the ministers below could only follow suit and donate money and materials even if they pinched their noses.

This was the first time that everyone in the court was so united in supporting sending troops.

Ying Zheng snorted coldly.

"Ha! You are so loyal to the eldest son!"

"When I asked you to donate money, you all cried out that you were poor, and now that he is about to go to war, you all come out to donate!"

"Okay! I want to see how he wins this battle!"

After saying that, Ying Zheng threw away his sleeves angrily and left.

The court hall dispersed in a short time, leaving only Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi, Zhao Gao, and Li Si, who followed closely to Shushan Pavilion.

As soon as he entered the cabinet, Ying Zheng changed his appearance.

Turn around and question Meng Yi.

"How many people did that kid bring? Are you sure?"

Meng Yi hurriedly reported back.

"Most of the eldest son's army seems to have stayed in Baiyue. For some reason, he only brought 4 people with him."

"That's why he summoned the soldiers from the counties on the west side!"

Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng frowned.

"It's so cold and freezing, it's not conducive to sending troops."

"The skirmishers recruited from all over the country don't know how powerful they are."

"More importantly, how can he pursue the Qiang without horses!"

Ying Zheng sighed.

"I thought he brought enough cavalry from the south!"

Then he said a little disappointedly

"That's all. Even so, try to ensure that there is enough food and grass and give him plenty of time."

"Let him fight slowly. Even if he can't achieve success in battle, he can't be defeated."

"Give him three months, and you can always win the fight until spring!"

……

At the same time, in the royal court far to the north.

Mo Dunzheng had a smile on his face, laughing for the first time in months.

"Hahaha, the accident finally happened!"

"I'm just saying, no one can always count on everything!"

"Even the First Emperor is no exception!"

King Youxian beside him took the silk cloth and examined it carefully.

Seeing that the Daqin Racecourse was attacked and tens of thousands of horses were robbed, I was immediately overjoyed.

Only King Zuo Guli still didn't understand.

asked in a low voice.

"It's just some horses. It's not like we're going to war with Da Qin. Why is Chanyu so happy!"

King Youxian smiled and shook his head.

"This is Great Qin's biggest threat to us!"

"Without these horses, our light cavalry can't beat us and we can retreat at any time!"

"They couldn't catch up or drive them away. At that time, I was a swordsman and Da Qin was a fish."

"Shouldn't this be fun?"

King Zuo Guli understood somewhat, but still asked.

"Then Da Qin won't grab more like us?"

"It's not like they can't defeat the Qiang!"

Mao Dun laughed and scolded.

"You don't bother to think about it when there's someone around you!"

“I’m not afraid of rust anymore!”

“Who dares to go deep into enemy territory in this rainy and snowy season?”

"Do you dare to attack Da Qin now?"

"Aren't you afraid of being left there by the heavy snow and not being able to come back?"

Only then did King Zuo Guli understand, and then he was about to ask another question.

Unexpectedly, Mao Dun knew what he wanted to ask and had already spoken.

"They have no chance!"

"I will not give Da Qin the opportunity to march westward in the spring and snatch horses!"

"Send orders to all tribes! Gather north of Yinshan Mountain one month before the start of spring."

Modun narrowed his eyes and looked towards the southern land with sharp eyes.

"Let's go south!"

“It’s finally time for a new set of owners in this land in the Central Plains!”
