Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 325
Meng's family and Fusu had a relationship of both prosperity and loss, with the help of Meng Tian and Meng Yi, Ying Zheng was relieved half of his heart.

In the past two years, the relationship between Fu Su and Li Si has greatly improved. Therefore, Ying Zheng believes that even if Li Si will not help Su, he will never hinder him.

However, the price paid for this is that Feng Quji, who had a fairly good relationship with Fusu, completely stood on the opposite side of Fusu.

Therefore, this time, Ying Zheng did not ask Feng Quji to be responsible for any specific affairs. Li Si and Meng Yi were in charge of the collection and transportation of the army's grain and grass.

Therefore, this time, Ying Zheng chose to secretly summon Li Si and Meng Yi, but Feng Quji was missing.

The three of them stayed in Xianyang Palace until it was completely dark after discussing, and then they left separately.

Yingzheng was in the main hall, recalling what Li Si said just now, according to Yushi's calculation, now for every ten shi of grain and grass transported to the front line, there would be at most three shi of grain left.

The cost along the way is really amazing!
However, the experience accumulated in this way is precious. The Qin army won a big victory when they left the fortress for the first time. This not only greatly boosted the morale of the ruling and opposition parties, but was also an epoch-making change.

This means that the Qin army is fully capable of going out to find the main force of the Hu people for a decisive battle in the future, and the original intention of establishing a new army that day has been preliminarily achieved.

In the future, it will be possible to follow the template of the new army and train the Qin army in the style of the new army on a large scale, and it will be just around the corner to completely calm the border troubles in the north.

The only thing that worried Yingzheng was that the cost of the armor used by the new army was too high. From top to bottom, a complete renovation had been achieved.

If the template of the new army is followed, it means that most of the previous Qin Junjun workshops will be eliminated.

The cost of such a process has reached a shocking figure.

Not only that, the ordnance and armor used by the new army are all made of high-quality iron materials. In order to build the equipment for these 3000 people, the Shaofu has already used all the historical inventory and materials collected from various places.

Countless steel was scrapped for this reason. The reason is that the steel smelting process at this time has not yet reached the standard, and most of the steel produced is very brittle and thin. It is entirely up to the face to produce usable steel.

As for turning steel into soldiers' armor and weapons, countless manpower and force were invested in it.

And these, Ying Zheng is all clear.I am also very pleased with Zhang Han's talent, but I need to know that it would be very difficult for another person to do this kind of work.

Even if he is competent, he is far less reliable than Zhang Hanlai.

But now that he has seen such hope, no matter how much suffering he encounters, Ying Zheng will complete this matter no matter what.

In Yingzheng's eyes, there has never been any difficulty that can stop him. The Lingnan Army failed in its first expedition, and the military supplies could not be supplied. They immediately dug the Lingqu, and then sent the second Qin army to continue to conquer Lingnan. He provided the army with a steady stream of supplies, and in the end, Lingnan surrendered to Daqin's cavalry.

The car is on the same track, the book is the same text, the six words seem simple, but when it was implemented, the voices of opposition from the people were loud and loud, even within the Qin court, there were a large number of people who opposed it, but it was all under his iron fist. carried out.

If you don't hit the south wall, you don't turn back, but for Ying Zheng, even if you hit the south wall, you won't turn back. Even if you have a bloody head, you will definitely hit the south wall and move on.

This time, it was the same, as long as the fight was successful, no matter what price Ying Zheng had to pay, Ying Zheng would not frown.

…………

On the grassland, Fusu led 2 horses to search for the main force of Donghu, but they have been searching for three days, but they have not found any.

That day, because of dealing with the Xiongnu, it was delayed for a whole day, and later, it was rested all night. For a whole day and night, Donghu fled desperately, and the people who had run away all disappeared!

Fusu looked up at the endless grassland, and at a glance, there was no change except grass and grass.

Among the Qin army, many soldiers are already tired of this.

Although Fusu was a little anxious in his heart, his expression was as usual. If even he became impatient, what kind of state would the entire Qin army be in.

Such an army, even if it finally finds the main force of Donghu, is afraid that it will eventually fail due to various mistakes.

The more critical the moment, the more you must calm your heart down.

This reasoning is clear to Fu Su in his heart.When the chief officer of an army becomes impatient, he will inevitably make various mistakes.

Before the final decisive battle of the Battle of Changping, the entire country of Zhao was a vivid negative teaching material.

Qin State, which was eager to win quickly, turned into Zhao State. Zhao Wang was impatient. He found a Zhao Kuo, and he was even more impatient. How can you be undefeated?

Ji Ying galloped up to Fusu and said, "My lord, there is a tribe ahead."

Just as Fusu was about to order the army to prepare for war, he heard Ji Ying say again: "My lord, that tribe seems to have been looted!"

"?" A question arose in Fusu's mind.

Leading the army, under Ji Ying's leadership, after half an hour, Fusu saw the tribe Ji Ying mentioned.

Indeed, from the outside, it does look like it has been ransacked.

On the outskirts of the tribe, as far as one could see, there were no cattle or sheep. Even though some herdsmen would drive the cattle and sheep to far away to graze the grassland, there was no cattle or sheep, which is too abnormal.

Moreover, in this tribe, there were still fires, and many camps were burned!
Ji Ying said that she was ransacked, but she did not infer wrongly.Thinking of this, Fusu made a decisive decision and ordered the army to immediately surround the tribe.

The tribe that had already been looted felt even more panicked when they saw so many soldiers with sharp knives around them.

The herdsmen in the tribe looked at all this with fear in their eyes, as if they thought that this sudden army was preparing to loot their tribe again.

Fusu looked at the frightened look in the eyes of these herdsmen, and felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if a ghost had entered the village.

At this time, Gu She, who was beside Fusu, received Fusu's order, and immediately began to ask questions.

And in the tribe, someone also told the story. After a long while, Gu She said in a very bad Qin language: "Wei... Great Hall... Your Highness, it is... the retreating Donghu people sent their Cattle and sheep...all the cattle and sheep were confiscated and taken away."

A bright light flashed in Fusu's eyes, and he secretly felt that it was funny. Speaking of which, this barbarian looted like an enemy, but he really didn't know who he was.

Whether it is the Qin people or the Hu people on our side, as long as possible, they may become the target of plunder, but the saying is different, for the Qin people it is plundering, for the Hu people it is expropriation.

This is also the normal state on the grassland. Whenever there is a war, some big nobles will confiscate all the cattle and sheep of some small tribes, regardless of whether the small tribes live or die.

And this retreating Donghu people, for their own survival, naturally showed no mercy, not even leaving a single sheep to this small tribe.

Thinking of this, Fusu immediately ordered a few words to Gao Chong beside him, and after a while, some dried meat and food were placed in front of Fusu.

For this small tribe, with these dried meat and food, they can last for a few more days!
The herdsman looked at Fusu and Qin Jun beside him in horror, but, looking at the grain and dried meat in front of him, he couldn't help swallowing.

Seeing this, Fusu said, "Tell them, these grains and jerky are all given to them."

Immediately, someone translated Fusu's words into Hu language, and the herdsmen's faces were full of doubts after hearing it.

But there were already some who were a little bit more courageous and went forward to take the jerky. Immediately afterwards, more and more people took these things away.

A smile appeared on the corner of Fusu's mouth, how could his things be so easy to hold?
The Sima of the Qin Army who was on the side immediately began to ask about the whereabouts of the defeated Donghu people, and the herdsmen who had received the favor of Fusu naturally knew everything at this moment and talked endlessly.

Looking at Fusu, they are full of reverence and gratitude.

Seeing that there were more than a hundred young and strong people in this tribe, Fusu had another plan in his mind. After receiving Fusu's order, the Sima of the Qin Army asked again.

After a while, all the young and strong men of this tribe had been added to Gu She and Hu'er's East Hu army.

To Fusu, it is not a loss at all to exchange a little grain and jerky for a hundred cannon fodder!

You must know that these people were all born on horseback and grew up on horseback. Given a war horse, they are excellent knights, and they can be pulled into the battlefield.

The retreating Donghu people naturally hoped that there would be as few people as possible at this moment. After all, one more person would have one more mouth to eat, and the previous robbing was all lost because of the night attack of the Qin army.

Therefore, Fusu took advantage of the youth of this tribe.

This time Fusu brought a total of more than 8 war horses. Due to various reasons, the horses lost a lot, but because of the previous two battles, the Qin army also lost a lot of people. There is still a surplus of war horses.

At this time, one person led a 50-[-]-year-old man to Fusu and said a few words to Qin Jun Sima.

"Young master, this person said that this old man's name is Batu. Because of his age, he is not as good as before. No one wants him anymore, but he is a living map on the grassland. He asked if we can take him?"

"Live map?" Fusu was also surprised.

But it is true, if you don't have this ability, you may not live to this age. In this era of BC, except for some big nobles and wizards and priests, it is true that not many men can live beyond 40 years old.

For the service and support of the elderly, there is no such concept on the grassland at all. Once they are old, their energy and blood seem to be insufficient, and those who wait for the elderly are often left to fend for themselves.

Therefore, it is not a problem to say that the 50-[-]-year-old man in front of him is an old man.

Fusu nodded. Such a person is placed in the army, but it's just one more person's ration every day!But if it is used at a critical moment, it will be a huge profit for Fusu!
In the next two days, Fusu encountered a few more tribes, all of whom were ransacked by the defeated Donghu tribe just like the first small tribe, and Fusu did the same, absorbing the young and strong of these tribes into the Qin army among.

Fusu could feel that he was getting closer and closer to Donghu's main force!
"My lord, our army's food and grass are only enough for ten days, and we can't go any further!" Meng He solemnly reminded.

"Now the supply line of our army has been stretched too long, and the supply line of food and grass is very fragile. If barbarians cut off our food and grass, our army will be in chaos. Please think twice."

"Go ahead!" Fusu ordered indifferently.

"My lord..." Seeing that Fusu was still going his own way, Meng He's face became more and more anxious.

"Give me another three days. If the main force of Donghu is still not found, our army will return to the imperial court!" Looking at Meng He's face, Fusu decided to take a step back.

Indeed, he knew that what Meng He said was very reasonable, and he also knew that the biggest weakness of the Qin army today was the food and grass.However, Fusu could feel that he and Donghu were already very close, and if he was given a little more time, he would definitely be able to find Donghu's main force.

"God, please bless Fusu this time!" Fusu couldn't help praying from the bottom of his heart.

In a sense, this battle is directly related to the future of Great Qin. What Fusu is most afraid of is that when he is concentrating all his strength on dealing with the remnants of the six kingdoms in Shandong, news of barbarians entering the border comes at this time.

Once that time came, Daqin was confronted with enemies, and it could be said that he immediately fell into an extremely unfavorable situation.

This is still secondary, if the Hu people took the opportunity to invade the mainland, and the scene of the five random and chaotic China was staged in advance, then he would really be a sinner for helping Su.

The direction of history is already unpredictable for Fusu. Fusu knows that every step he takes is actually a destruction of the original history. It is already impossible to follow the original historical track.

"Young master, the main force of the Hu people has been found sixty miles ahead, and they are resting."

After another two days of walking like this, Fusu finally got such a reward from the detective.

Fusu suppressed his excitement, stopped ten miles away from the barbarian camp, and ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately put on armor and launch a surprise attack."

In just half a moment, the Qin army was ready, and at Fusu's order, they rushed towards the barbarian camp.

The night attack a few days ago had already turned them into frightened birds, so the Qin army suddenly appeared here, and immediately, the entire barbarian camp fell into chaos.

And Gu She and Hu Er led the surrendered Donghu people to fight bravely and invincibly, in order to express the most loyal determination to Fusu, and to win the things Fusu promised.

Gu She and Hu Er attacked extremely fiercely, while Qin Jun, who followed closely behind, greatly reduced casualties and suppressed the audience.

After fighting fiercely for a while, the frightened Hu people retreated again, ignoring that there were still many of their compatriots and clansmen in the camp.

But Fusu stepped up to let the Qin army solve the battle, and finally found the Donghu people, Fusu didn't want to let it go easily.
