Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 134
Meng Tian didn't pay attention to Korean at all, even Zhao Gao was just a watchdog of the emperor in Meng Tian's eyes.As Ying Zheng's classmate and good friend, Meng Tian is very lucky and proud.

Becoming classmates with Ying Zheng and spending a period of study together when they were young, this allowed the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi to go far in their official careers.

Almost all the nobles and ministers in Xianyang envy the Meng brothers, but they also know that the biggest official in the family who was directly suppressed by Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei in order to support Yingzheng took charge of the family was just an iron official under Neishi Ling.The so-called effort and gain are equal. After Yingzheng came to power, Meng Wu was soon promoted to Marquis of Licheng and then named Shangqing.

The two brothers Meng Yi and Meng Tian were not as good as their official careers, and they started a long-awaited life.

Han Yu only dared to hold grudges in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak out.Even in front of Zhao Gao, he did not dare to speak ill of Meng Tian.As long as he speaks Korean, he is not far from death.

The next day, Xiang Yu brought a group of friends in the army into the Hong Family Restaurant in Jiuyuan City.

The Hong Family Restaurant is responsible for the business of the entire Jiuyuan County, although the population of Jiuyuan County is much smaller than any other county.However, having mastered the sales of Xiang's fine wine in a county, the Hong family suddenly became an important family in Jiuyuan City.

While good wine brought benefits to the Hong family, it also brought a lot of tax burden to Jiuyuan County.In addition to running Xiang's Fine Wine in Jiuyuan County, the Hong family also runs other businesses.For example, leather is purchased from the grassland and sold to Xianyang, and salt and tea are purchased from Xianyang and sold to the grassland.The Hong family even sold war horses in private.These war horses were bought from grassland tribes in exchange for salt, fine wine, etc. Although Sima Heng, the prefect of Jiuyuan County, knew that many families in the county sold war horses, he turned a blind eye.

Most of the war horses sold by the family of Gein Jiuyuan County were bought by Jiuyuan County for use by the army.Since the defeat of the Huns, the number of war horses sold to the Central Plains has been restricted.Although Qin has two places to raise war horses in Longxi and Beidi, they cannot supply the millions of troops in the country.Therefore, these family courts who were able to obtain war horses from the grasslands at the border did not pursue it.As long as more than [-]% of the war horses can be sold to the government, these families can open or sell the remaining war horses to various counties in the Central Plains in private.

After Xiang Yu arrived, he was personally welcomed by the head of the Hong family, Hong Fei.I learned that Xiang Yu was going to entertain the generals in the wine shop to celebrate his entry into the rank and being rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor.In order to befriend the benefactor, Hong Fei took the initiative to bear Xiang Yu's expenses.

In order to repay Hong Fei, Xiang Yu also personally wrote a letter to Hong Fei.And told Hong Fei that with this letter, he could get his wine in advance in the future.This made Hong Fei very happy.The profit of Xiang's fine wine for a few months is [-]% higher than that of his business at the same time. This is the result of Xiang's wine not being available in time.

Ignoring Hong Fei, Xiang Yu, Wang Li and the others had a good time in Hong's restaurant.Not only are there fine wines to drink, but there are also a lot of delicacies that they have never seen before, which really makes them enjoy it very much.

After sending ten urns of fine wine to Meng Tian's big tent, Xiang Yu and the others also went back to the camp to rest.

**-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-**
A year has passed, during which Xiang Yu began to grow into a qualified general.Except for more than 100 soldiers under his command, Xiang Yu did not use the soldiers in the sergeant summoning system on others.Because he was afraid that someone with a heart would notice the difference!

In one year, both Luo Jia and Li Bi pledged their allegiance to Xiang Yu and became Xiang Yu's secret generals.

Xiang Yu's troops gradually became the strongest unit of the Northern Land Army except for the heavy armored cavalry.This army can be the most elite cavalry when mounted, and the strongest infantry when dismounted.At the beginning, it became the sharpest knife in Meng Tian's hands, and at the same time, Xiang Yu was also transferred by Meng Tian to perform several tasks independently.

After several investigations by Xiang Yu, the Xiongnu made new moves.During this entire year, Shu Qing, the second prince of the Dayue Clan, became the city lord of Bayin City and concurrently served as the Grand Marshal of the West Grand Army of the Dayue Clan.He became the powerful commander-in-chief of the Da Yuezhi Kingdom, with 12 soldiers guarding Bayin City to deter the countries in the Western Regions.

And Shu Qing's elder brother Shu Li also became the city lord of Shuhai City, with an army of [-].Although the number is smaller than that of Shu Qing, it is comparable to Shu Nanting's imperial forest army in terms of elite level, and Shu Qing's army cannot be compared.

After the Da Yuezhi State counterattacked the Xiongnu, it did not attack the countries in the Western Regions.Let the countries in the Western Regions relax, and the alliance began to disintegrate. The 30 Western Region coalition forces also disbanded shortly after the Qin army went south, and the prestige of Wusun Kunmi Nandumi also began to decline in various countries.

Shu Qing's 12 troops were intimidating, and many small countries in the Western Regions couldn't stand the pressure and paid tribute to the Dayue Clan in order to seek protection from the strong.Shu Nanting's aggressiveness was greatly satisfied, and he promised these small countries that once any country attacked them, the Great Yuezhi Kingdom would definitely send troops.

The actions of the Xiongnu surprised Meng Tian and others, because Mo Dun began to compete for power with his father Touman.

During the battle against the Dayuezhi, Maodun established his prestige and gathered many neutral tribes.But Touman began to lose the support of most people, except for a few people like Ya Sishu.Most of the previously loyal tribes have turned to wait and see and neutralize, and Mornan is the most powerful of these neutral tribes.

In the easternmost part of the grassland controlled by the Xiongnu, Moernan garrison camp.

"I've seen King Zuoxian!" A not-so-strong general saluted Mo Ernan.

"Why is General Mu Ti here?" Seeing Mu Ti, the most trusted general of Mao Dun, Mo Ernan also nodded and asked with a smile.

"My great king came to invite Queen Zuoxian to a banquet in the day camp!" Mu Ti bowed and expressed his intentions to Mo Ernan.

"Oh!?" Mo Ernan was very surprised, he asked curiously: "Isn't King Youxian in the north? How can I get there in the future?"

"My king has led an army of [-] to the east, and he should be able to arrive here tomorrow!" Mu Ti explained.

It's fine if Mu Ti doesn't say anything, Mo Ernan's heart trembled when he explained.In the past few months, Mo Dun has been forcing the leaders of the neutral tribes to express their attitude.A lot of tribal leaders who couldn't bear the pressure have already gained a lot of opinions and accepted a lot of strength.The total number of soldiers has reached more than 30, which is enough to overwhelm the [-] troops in the hands of himself and Shanyu Touman before counting other tribes that have not expressed their views.

Moreover, Mo Ernan didn't believe that Mo Dun just marched eastward with an army of 20.He has enough reasons to believe that Maodu will lead an army of at least 25 to the east, and those tribes who expressed their opinions when they go east will have at least [-] troops.
