I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 188 Meng Tian gambled fifty thousand horses

"Old Zhao, everything is in silence, I understand!"

Li Yu really wanted to say this, but he was afraid that it would be too sensational between the two men.

In the end, Li Yu had no choice but to clenched hands with Ying Zheng and shook them vigorously.

After receiving the order from Ying Zheng's Tiger Talisman, Li Yu then turned around and left the palace, and rode his horse straight to Shangjun, where Meng Tian's army was located.

……

It originally took three days from Xianyang to Shangjun, but based on Li Yu's footsteps, it only took two days.

However, Chen Qingzhi led [-] soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to go into battle lightly, and only brought the ammunition needed for the firecrackers, thunderbolts, arrows and other items on their horses.

And shortly after Li Yu left the palace, he received the Taiwei's transfer order handed down by Qin Yi, and the whole army went to Shangjun. The time required was five days.

Li Yu went first, which was equivalent to staying in Shangjun for two days, waiting for the arrival of Shenji Camp.

In Shangjun, the Great Wall stretches continuously.

This is the first time Li Yu has come here, and it is also the first time he has witnessed the original appearance of the Qin Great Wall.

Back then, Li Yu was about to be dispatched to Shangjun in a prison van, and he almost became an honorable brick mover who added bricks to the Great Wall.

But now, he has transformed into a captain of Daqin, so Meng Tian has already become a subordinate.

"Lord Taiwei, General Ziyun's body is too weak, I'm afraid he is not suitable to lead the Shenji Battalion."

Meng Tian pondered over and over for a long time before he opened his mouth to suggest.

Li Yu couldn't help sighing when Meng Yi pointed out his flaws, then looked directly at Meng Tian and said, "Is there any better candidate for the general?"

Meng Tian's expression changed slightly, and he was also a little helpless, so he shook his head and said: "In today's Great Qin, the generals are not connected to each other, and the advisers are like grasshoppers lying in the countryside. If it weren't for the Taiwei, General Ziyun, Zhang Liang, etc. Counselor, I'm afraid Daqin's embarrassment will be worse than today."

Seeing Meng Tian helplessly shaking his head and sighing softly, Li Yu couldn't help but nodded and said: "Nowadays in Daqin, there are people who are willing but powerless, and most of the people who can read and write are nobles and gentry.

In the follow-up of Daqin, some innovative methods may be needed to attract and excavate talents, so as to break the predicament that no one can use today. "

"What you said is not bad, Qin officials have always only recognized recommendations, and the two methods of military merit, the rest are not used.

Now that Lord Taiwei and His Majesty are joining forces to deal with the old nobles, it will be even harder to find people with lofty ideals. "

Unexpectedly, all the rumors about the exorcism had reached Meng Tian's ears, Li Yu couldn't help grinning, and said, "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, why should you and I worry about this?"

Speaking of this, Li Yu couldn't help but paused, and then said: "Taking down the Xiongnu grassland is the most important thing right now."

Hearing this, Meng Tian turned his tiger eyes to Li Yu, and smiled at Li Yu.

"If this plan can bring chaos to the Xiongnu, Lord Taiwei will become No. 1 in the Central Plains through the ages."

"It depends on the tacit understanding between the general and me, hahaha."

After all, Meng Tian suddenly bowed his hands to Li Yu and said, "If we win this battle, General Qin will have no worries about outside disturbance."

Meng Tian's obeisance shows that Meng Tian is convinced that Li Yu's plan is feasible, and the chance of winning is not small.

Li Yuzi raised Meng Tian's arm lightly, then said with a smile: "I have long heard that the general has [-] golden fire cavalry, and they have never been defeated in galloping outside the Great Wall over the years. This time I can see their demeanor."

Meng Tian straightened up, and then said: "Master Taiwei praises, the Great Wall Army has more than [-] troops, and the elite cavalry is worth [-]. This is not because the empire does not want to train cavalry, but because it has fought against the Huns over the years. How much is it worth?"

As Meng Tian said, the reason why the Daqin cavalry is scarce is not that there are few horses and no food to feed, but that fighting the Xiongnu consumes a lot of money.

In the long run, it was consumed back and forth, and over the years, Daqin's accumulation of cavalry did not make much progress.

If it is said that Daqin's tens of millions of people cannot raise 10,000+ horses, Li Yu would not believe it if he was killed.

Li Yu nodded following what Meng Tian said irrefutably, and said: "The Huns are nomads, and their riding skills are indeed unmatched in the world today.

Now my Daqin iron cavalry has been equipped with horses and saddles. I believe it will not be long before my Daqin cavalry will be able to gallop on the prairie to hunt down wolves and ride horses to pastoral songs. "

The future described by Li Yu is the scene that Meng Tian has been longing for for many years, and it is also the hope of the 30 Great Wall Army.

During the conversation between the two, [-] golden fire cavalry had already assembled.

The autumn wind is bleak, and the Great Wall of Qin, which is like a crouching dragon, is shining golden.

The whole body is covered with copper armor, including horses, which is the origin of the Golden Fire Cavalry.

From Li Yu's point of view, the long-famous Golden Fire Cavalry is actually a prototype of heavy cavalry.

The Huns were good at riding horses and fighting guerrilla tactics. They had three horses per man and accurate shooting skills. They could often entangle and fight with thousands of Daqin cavalry with a force of hundreds of cavalry, and they could even walk away unscathed in the end.

The Qin army can only defend and fight.In this way, it can also be understood why the cavalry of the Qin Army mostly covered their bodies with copper armor, and even made the horses wear heavy armor.

Seeing the deep hoof marks on the feet of the soldiers' heavily armored horses, Li Yu couldn't help shaking his head and said: "If you go west to the Hetao, it may be inconvenient for you to be heavily armored. Why don't the general go there with light horses."

Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "According to the information given by the Taiwei, the Huns have more than [-] cavalry, if our army goes west and encounters them, I am afraid that we will lose.

Therefore, the final general wanted to use [-] light cavalry as a bait, and [-] heavy cavalry to guard the area around Langshan on the west side of the Hetao to prevent the Huns from harassing the Nine Plains of the Hetao. "

No wonder the horses did not remove their armor, it turned out that Meng Tian had prepared [-] cavalry to go out...

This is a gamble!
Now that the words have been made clear, Li Yu finally realized that Meng Tian is Meng Tian after all, not comparable to Zhang Han.

Meng Tian gambled [-] cavalry, which made Li Yu feel relieved immediately, and said: "I am too worried. The general has fought countless battles with the Huns, so he has a certain plan."

After finishing speaking, Li Yusui motioned to Zhao Yun beside him and said: "I came in a hurry, I just brought a few cakes of tea as a gift for the general. When Ziyun leads the army to arrive, I am having some fun with the general."

Meng Tian took the tea and said with a smile: "Is this the tea that Lord Taiwei sold to the old nobles?"

Li Yu couldn't help grinning, and jokingly said: "If you count, the cakes and tea leaves in the general's hands are enough to recruit thousands of soldiers for the Great Qin."

Although Meng Tian had drunk tea before, but at that time the tea had not been sold in the world, Meng Tian only knew that the tea was rare, but did not know the value of the tea.

Previously, I only learned from the letter of my younger brother Meng Yi that this object is very rare, and only Li Yu, the Taiwei, has the method of concocting it.

But he didn't want to hear Li Yu say with his own ears that the value of the leaves in his hand could cover the cost of recruiting thousands of soldiers.

Meng Tian's thick palm couldn't help trembling slightly, his heart was already horrified.

"I heard from Brother Yi that the First Emperor and His Majesty have charged the Qin treasury with two years' tax revenue just by relying on this item. The final general didn't believe it at first..."

After Meng Tian finished speaking, he couldn't help being silent for a moment, and then he continued: "Master Taiwei's ingenious methods are really unimaginable."
