Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 261 Ziyu is here!

Seeing Chen Sheng talking eloquently in it, Qu Cai felt very uncomfortable.

He knew that what Chen Sheng said was correct, and it was quite beneficial to them, but it couldn't help but make Qu Cai feel a little apprehensive.

Speaking of which, in the past, he was also Xiong Jian's confidant, a quite trustworthy subordinate of Xiong Jian, but in the end, Qu Cai still chose to attack Xiong Jian, because, Qu Cai knew that as long as Xiong Jian was around, he would always be there for him. I want to bow my head to Jane.

Not to mention that if Fusu becomes the King of Chu logically, for him, it means that he will always be subordinate to Xiong Jian.

At the same time, over the years, he has been in contact with the Zhao, Qu, and Jing clans for many years, so the three clans have also offered him an irresistible condition.

Therefore, in the end, he chose to backstab Xiong Jian.

But now, such a question inevitably arises in Qu Cai's mind, will Chen Sheng choose to betray him like him, and even swing the butcher knife at him?
Chen Shengdao: "Three, in Chen County, there are still some celebrities from the six countries. Do you know who they are?"

There was a gleam in Zhaoyue's eyes, and he said, "Where is anyone?"

"The first one is Chen Yu, a famous scholar from the Wei Kingdom who just arrived in Chen County not long ago. Now, he is hiding in Chen County, secretly contacting the old ministries of various countries, and when the time comes, he will immediately raise troops against Qin."

"The second person is Zhang Er who has a close relationship with Chen Yu. He used to be a disciple of Lord Xinling. After the fall of Wei, many disciples of Lord Xinling were recruited by Zhang Er. Yi, if you hear that the three of you have led people to Chen County, you will be overjoyed!"

Hearing this, everyone is looking forward to this trip to Chen County even more.

…………

It was already the beginning of June, and Fusu had been walking for seven or eight days since he left Dangyang County.

However, this speed is a bit slow.

It may be unbelievable to say that during the daily march, the cavalry actually marched slower than the infantry.

Although each soldier of the [-] new troops around Fusu brought at least two or even three horses, during the daily marches, soldiers were not allowed to ride horses at all.

Because of long-distance marching, riding a war horse will further make the war horse lose weight and lose physical strength.And in this era, due to the extremely poor medical and sanitary conditions, the non-mobile attrition of war horses has increased sharply.

If these horses were not equipped with horseshoes, the marching speed may be further reduced, because running for a long distance will cause the horseshoes to fall off, and eventually the horses will die due to wound infection.

Moreover, during the march, it is also a huge test for logistics. It is no exaggeration to say that war horses eat better than humans. First of all, they need concentrated feed, food and even eggs for war horses before the war.

It can be said that the cavalry is a very delicate unit. If there is a little carelessness, even if Fusu reaches the northern border, the [-] new troops around him will be almost useless. It will take a long time to restore combat effectiveness.

The infantry is different. First of all, humans are not as delicate as war horses, and secondly, their endurance is very strong. In ancient times, in order to catch prey, one of the ways people often used was to chase an animal alive.

The marching speed of the army depends entirely on the system. If the degree of organization is low, the marching speed of the infantry will naturally be extremely difficult to see. However, if the degree of organization is high, the marching speed of the infantry will reach a certain level. Jaw-dropping.

As for the Qin State, all the men in the country are soldiers, and they are the pinnacle of the Chinese classical government. Naturally, its organization is no longer a problem. Coupled with the effective logistics support of the Qin State, countless small officials who are rooted in the grassroots of the Qin State are naturally inevitable. Same day.

Fusu was not very anxious about this, with Meng Tian sitting in northern Xinjiang, even if the barbarians came to invade, Fusu was very relieved.

Therefore, in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the new army, Fusu did not ask the new army to increase the marching speed.

While camping for a rest, Yingbo went to Fusu's tent, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Ziyu is here."

Fu Su Teng stood up immediately, with joy on his face.

Speaking of which, after leaving Dangyang County, Fusu's mood was very low. At this time, when he suddenly heard that Ziyu came here, he was naturally very happy.

"Follow me and pay the bill to welcome you."

Seeing Fusu, Ziyu was about to salute, but was caught by Fusu and led to the military tent.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Fusu said, "Ziyu, why did you come here this time?"

Ziyu smiled and said, "My lord, I have been waiting here for three days just to wait for you."

"Oh?" Fusu was astonished, it seemed that Ziyu already knew that he was going to the northern border.

Ziyu continued: "This time, there are thirty other Mohists who came with me, all of whom are the best of the younger generation of my Mohist family. I heard that Young Master is about to go north to the battlefield, so I came here to assist Young Master."

Hearing this sentence, Fusu's face was even more joyful, and his heart was also a little moved.

"Where are they now?" Fusu asked impatiently.

"In a guest house ten miles away, I will ask them to come and meet the young master tomorrow."

"Why tomorrow?" Fusu immediately ordered: "Yingbu, you take someone to bring the Mohist here immediately."

"Gao Chong, the army immediately slaughtered pigs and sheep, welcome Mohist."

Hearing this, Yingbu Gaochong took the order immediately.

Seeing Fusu's happy expression, Ziyu didn't say much anymore, he knew that Fusu had good intentions, and also felt that Fusu attached importance to them.

Ziyu took out a bamboo slip from his bosom, handed it to Fusu, and said, "My lord, this was sent back by Senior Brother Mo Chu."

Fusu took it and opened it for a closer look, while Ziyu also said from the sidelines: "Senior brother Mo Chu arrived in northern Xinjiang last June and went to many counties in northern Xinjiang to overhaul the defense and military situation of each county. Year."

"During this year, Mo Chu also sent letters back many times to report the situation on the northern line."

"Last winter, a snowstorm broke out on the grassland, and countless Hu people froze to death and suffered frostbite. In the spring of this year, it is said that fierce quarrels broke out on the Hu people's side."

"Finally, on the side of the Huns, it is said that there was a coup d'état, but it was suppressed by Touman Chanyu."

Fusu listened patiently to what Ziyu said. Ziyu knew far more about the situation in northern Xinjiang than he did.

It is the best policy to make a decision before making a decision. It is the best policy to understand the situation first and then make a plan. If your eyes are darkened and you slap your head to make a decision, there will be problems sooner or later.

Judging from what Ziyu said, Fusu knew why the Xiongnu had the intention of violating the border this year. Firstly, it was because of the disaster, which caused serious losses to various tribes. Secondly, the position of Touman Chanyu had been shaken. !
