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

Chapter 291 Mao Dun’s Ambition

The wolf lives in Xu Mountain.

After King Zuoguli gave the order, the three twenty-four chiefs immediately began to mobilize their tribes.

Lan Lin Jian was about to leave, but he was kept at last by a look from King Zuo Guli.

Soon, they were the only two people left in the tent.

King Zuo Guli turned around and sat on the throne.

Looking at Lan Linjian, he asked casually.

"Did the head of the Lan family tell you about Great Qin's military strength before leaving?"

Lan Linjian was slightly stunned.

Isn't it true that Da Qin's military strength is already stretched thin and difficult to take care of?

Don't wait for his reply.

King Zuogu Li understood something when he saw his expression.

He let out a heavy breath and said with a stern expression.

"Although when the royal court sent messages to various tribes, they all gave them full confidence."

"But the real situation is that this battle is far from as easy as it seems."

King Zuo Guli's eyebrows were slightly raised.

"Da Qin is too strong!"

"Even though we, the barbarians, have expanded our territory tenfold, gathered slaves, and defeated hundreds of thousands of tribes."

"But facing the Qin Dynasty, Shanyu still felt worried."

King Zuo Guli paused.

"The Qin Dynasty gathered a huge military force with the Yueshi in Henan."

"There are as many as 200,000 in Yue County alone, and 200,000 elites in Hetao."

"Before I come back, there will be two hundred thousand more reinforcements."

"These alone are already six hundred thousand!"

"As for us barbarians, the royal court has 120,000 infantry and 100,000 cavalry."

"The Righteous King has 80,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry."

"King Yougu Li has gathered the largest number of tribes, and all 150,000 of them are cavalry."

"There are also more than half a million!"

Hearing this, Lan Linjian breathed a sigh of relief.

"We have 33 Hu men in cavalry alone."

"Then what if Da Qin has 600,000 infantry?"

"They are just carrying the turtle shell of the Great Wall."

"Once we reach the wilderness, we are no longer a target for our barbarians and Qingqi!"

When King Zuo Guli heard this, his eyebrows couldn't help but move closer to the middle again.

"Then Qin people are not fools!"

"In this battle, they have Meng Tian as their commander, and under their command are Bai Zhong, son of Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an, and Wang Li, grandson of Wang Jian, the four famous generals."

"Everyone is difficult to deal with."

"If we really fight an iron-blooded war, Da Qin may suffer heavy casualties, but I, General Hu, will not be left unscathed."

Unexpectedly, Lan Linjian didn't listen, but said proudly.

"I, the Hu, are never afraid of death!"

"Death is nothing but return to the arms of God."

But the words are not finished yet.

He was suddenly interrupted by an angry shout.

"Why can't you understand!"

"We, the Hu people, have already overwhelmed everything in this battle!"

"But Da Qin, even their 600,000-strong army was completely defeated."

"Behind them, there are countless people!"

The cold scolding made Lan Linjian's worship of the gods freeze on his face.

King Zuo Guli did not stop.

"Listen carefully to me!"

"Those beliefs are for the people to strengthen their faith, not for leaders like you to cover your eyes and kneel down to pray for heaven and earth!"

"This time we are not facing those small foreign tribes."

"It is a huge empire that grew up in five hundred years of war and killing."

"He, Da Qin, can lose eight times out of ten, but I, the Hu, cannot afford to lose even once!"

After King Zuo Guli roared angrily, his expression softened slightly and he continued with a heavy tone.

"Don't let the arrogance of past victories become the shackles that trap you!"

At this moment, Lan Linjian was looking at King Zuo Guli in disbelief.

He couldn't understand that this man had been following Modun Shanyu from the very beginning.

King Zuogu Li led the Hu people to become stronger and stronger all the way, and always had full confidence in the Hu people's soldiers.

Why are you so cautious now?

King Zuo Guli did not say any more. He could not tell Lan Linjian.

Before Mao Dun left the royal court, he took him to see someone and heard some deductions.

At first he didn't care.

But on the way back, he kept thinking about it, and he finally understood Mao Dun's good intentions.

King Zuo Guli took a breath.

"Also, Shanyu has given the order."

"During this battle, the people of Great Qin are not allowed to be slaughtered."

"You are not allowed to burn, kill, loot, or even attack a city without defenders at will!"

Lan Linjian's eyes suddenly widened.

The Hu people's campaigns have always involved burning, killing, and looting.

The soldiers' excitement for war was entirely based on the pleasure of wanton plunder, rape, and killing after victory.

Now that this behavior has been forcibly stopped, and the soldiers have lost their faith, who knows how much combat power they still have.

This is simply cutting off an arm.

"Why?"

"What else can I do to persuade the soldiers to charge bravely?"

Faced with Lan Linjian's confusion.

King Zuo Guli finally revealed the purpose of this battle.

"The Chanyu said it!"

"There are too many people in Da Qin. Even if they stand and let us kill them, we still can't kill them all."

"If you want to control that land, you can't just rely on killing!"

"As the first Hu army to invade the Qin Dynasty."

"We cannot allow their people to feel a sense of life and death crisis."

"Otherwise, we will face a situation where we are surrounded by enemies."

"By then, even if we defeat the Qin people for a while, we will have no chance of winning in the face of their endless resistance over time."

"After the invasion of Qin this time, Shan Yu will send Qin people to come to meet us. They will gather some people who hope to return to the old system of the Six Kingdoms."

"These people are here under the guise of helping them resist Qin Shihuang's tyranny."

"The people of Qin will not be completely hostile to us!"

King Zuo Guli stared closely at Lan Linjian.

"And after taking Taiyuan County, we will help these people rebuild the Zhao Kingdom and further divide the Qin Dynasty!"

"We will then formulate a system of upper people and lower people."

"Those who have done meritorious service to the royal court are given the title of superior Shangmin and have the same status as the barbarians."

"Only in this way can we, the Hu people, truly gain a foothold in the vast world in the south." Hearing this, Lan Linjian finally understood.

It turns out that people like Chanyu and King Li who stand at the pinnacle of power think about these things every day.

They not only want to defeat the Qin Dynasty, but also completely occupy and rule the southern land.

In their eyes, a successful victory in this battle was just the first step towards occupying Great Qin.

Chanyu's ambition was so great.

Lan Linjian was even a little silent at this moment.

The head of the Lan clan had never told him this, let alone taught him to think about these principles.

It seems that they just want him to continue to lead troops to kill.

Become a sharp blade in Lan's hand that will never break.

King Zuo Guli stood up, stepped forward and patted Lan Linjian on the shoulder.

He hoped that these sincere words today would make this first battle general of the Lan family sober up.

But Lan Linjian looked unwilling and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something else.

But King Zuo Guli had already spoken first.

"I know that it is unrealistic to suddenly ask soldiers to suppress their desires."

"But you must at least ensure that there will be no massacre on the surface!"

King Zuo Guli's eyes moved downward, suddenly looking a little sinister.

"Even if you want to kill or vent, keep it all in secret."

"No one from Qin will be allowed to see it or spread it out."

"Kill them all and leave no trace behind!"

Lan Linjian breathed a sigh of relief. At least he could give an explanation to the soldiers.

After King Zuo Guli finished speaking, he saw that Lan Linjian had put down his contemptuous attitude towards Da Qin and nodded with satisfaction.

"Don't tell others what you want to say today."

"I care about talents, so I wasted so much time in the hope of warning you."

"Don't think only about killing people and fighting."

"Think more, and you may be able to stand at a higher level in the future."

When Lan Linjian heard this, he suddenly paused.

He had already realized why King Zuo Guli reminded himself for no reason.

He is releasing goodwill and soliciting!

Lan Linjian blinked.

But as a member of the Lan clan, how could he be under his command?

Unless ~ Lan Linjian suddenly thought of what he just said, the rebuilt old Zhao and other countries.

If the entire Qin Dynasty were occupied, how many people would be needed to manage such a huge territory and population?

What height can you reach?

Lan Linjian's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he understood the deeper meaning of this conversation.

King Zuo Guli looked at him and smiled slightly.

"Okay, let's talk about it later."

"This king will lead an army of hundreds of thousands and begin to march south to Yanmen."

"Before I attack Yanmen, you must get rid of those ten thousand Qin people and help the Qiulin family resolve the siege of Yuduo!"

Lan Linjian's majestic figure always holds his head high even when facing the head of the Lan clan.

At this moment, he finally lowered his head meekly.

"My subordinates will never disgrace their orders!"

After finishing speaking, Lan Linjian spoke again.

"However, I also hope that King Li can send a supporting army."

"Pretend to support Yuduole City and lure out the Qin cavalry."

"My subordinates, please deal with it quickly so that you can turn around and follow King Li's army!"

King Zuo Guli laughed.

He summoned the guards outside the door and conveyed the order casually.

He took great pains to persuade Shan Yu to assign the first general of the Lan clan to his command.

It was because he expected that if he went deep into Da Qin, he might have to face the silver armored cavalry.

Lan Linjian and his 10,000 divine archers and light cavalry are the best means to deal with them.

……

At this moment, as the army began to move.

The number of domes on Langjuxu Mountain began to decrease one by one.

The 50,000 cavalrymen who were the first to gather into a group, led by the scouts calling for reinforcements, began to run towards Yuduole City.

Such a large-scale action.

Successfully, the elite scouts commanded by Ying Xuan were discovered in the distance.

Wearing straw clothes, they ran down the hillside quickly when they saw this scene.

He took out the hidden horses from behind the rocks, turned around and rushed towards a hidden valley in the southeast.

And on another hill in the north.

Lan Linjian, however, quietly looked at the Da Qin scouts riding Juechen, with a contemptuous smile on his lips.

"So what if we have gone through five hundred years of chaos?"

"In the face of my strategy, you don't have to fall for it."

……

The elite scouts rode wildly before entering the valley.

Then he saw Han Xin with a thousand Qingqi.

"Report!"

"The Huns' 50,000-strong army is moving south to support them."

"We have set off now!"

Han Xin looked at the approaching scouts.

His face was full of excitement and anticipation.

But I heard that there were only fifty thousand.

He frowned immediately and said slightly disappointed.

"Why do you think so?"

"The first time I, Han Xin, led an army against an enemy with less than 100,000 troops, wouldn't the records of later generations have no momentum at all?"

Han Xin was very dissatisfied.

But Liu Bang beside him could no longer bear it.

"Mosquito legs are meat too!"

"If you think it's too little, let me lead the troops first!"

"Wait until there are more Huns next time!"

When Han Xin heard this, he turned around and glared at Liu Bang.

“Although it’s not much, it’s still an achievement!”

"His Highness said, this is my chance to show off!"

"Don't be crazy."

Then he turned towards Qian Qingqi behind him.

"Soldiers!"

"These Huns dare to peek at our Great Qin!"
