Daqin: Consolidate the destiny of the country and help the ancestors live forever!

"In the future Great Qin, perhaps it is not impossible for every soldier to be matched with a war horse."

Ying Ziye spoke unconsciously.

The surrounding generals immediately became ecstatic when they heard the words.

As a soldier, who doesn't want to have a war horse when joining the army?

A horse is equivalent to a car, and a car is one of the essential equipment for soldiers.

With a car, the combat power can be doubled in an instant.

And it is highly mobile, much faster than walking on two legs.

"Your Highness, the gains this time are huge. Although we have suffered losses, they are still within the acceptable range."

"Then how do we arrange the soldiers here?"

Meng Tian looked at Ying Ziye.

Now there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers here.

Can't everyone stop here and wait?

The ears of the other generals also perked up.

Everyone wants to know what to do next.

"This is indeed a problem. I wonder if the general has any plans?"

Ying Ziye asked back, he also wanted to see if General Meng Tian had any ideas.

How would you like to arrange things here.

If Meng Tian arranges properly, it is not impossible to follow through.

Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect His Highness to ask him what to do.

After bowing his head and thinking for a while, Meng Tian finally expressed his thoughts.

"Your Highness, there are hundreds of thousands of Hun captives now, and the general thinks that sending them away is the priority."

"It's not a good thing to keep them here, it's better to take them back to Daqin first."

"In this way, they can also play a role immediately. I, Daqin, don't support idlers."

"And there are too many idlers, and the daily consumption of food and grass is a bottomless pit."

The rest of the generals nodded upon hearing this.

The general was quite right.

The daily food and grass consumption of these prisoners is a bottomless pit.

If you don't send them away quickly, their food and grass here will be consumed soon.

"Well, good, go ahead."

Ying Ziye nodded, these prisoners must be sent away as soon as possible.

It's not a good thing to keep them here.

"Your Highness, there are too many prisoners. We must send at least 40 soldiers to guard them."

"The rest of the soldiers will stay here, or go deep into the prairie to continue sweeping."

"If we want to move to the people of Daqin to live here, we must clear away the potential threats around us."

"There is also the fact that Mao Dun and others have escaped somewhere, maybe they can pursue them while sweeping."

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

Meng Tian these are words from the heart.

This is what needs to be done today.

Ying Ziye nodded, 40 soldiers are not many.

After all, there were as many as 38 Huns captives.

There is nothing wrong with sending 40 soldiers to guard it.

It is not suitable to send too many soldiers, and too few are afraid that the Hun captives will escape.

As for the remaining soldiers, there are not many people who stay on the Great Wall.

Only [-] soldiers are needed to guard the Great Wall.

Ying Ziye looked at the crowd with a smile on his face.

"Just do as the general tells you."

"Send 40 soldiers to take the Hun captives back."

"Leave one hundred thousand soldiers to guard the Great Wall."

"All the rest of the people go deep into the prairie to sweep."

"It would be a good thing if we could meet Maodun and the others."

"If you can catch Maodun and others, you can catch them, if you can't catch them, you can talk about them later."

"Anyway, they can't make any waves."

"If there is an objection, raise it, and if there is no objection, execute the order."

Ying Ziye finally issued such an order.

The generals had no objection to His Highness's decision.

They just have to go and carry out the orders.

"promise!"

The generals stepped out of the camp and moved quickly.

Chapter 536 Tracking the Xiongnu, the countries of the Western Regions

Five days passed in a row.

In the frontier barracks.

There are not many left today.

The 40 army guarded the Xiongnu captives and returned them to the territory of Daqin.

They will wait for news from Qin Shihuang on the road.

Wherever Daqin needs manpower, he will take care of this group of people.

Now only Meng Tian and one hundred thousand soldiers are left to guard the giant gate of the Great Wall.

The remaining 40 troops have followed Wang Ben to the prairie to start a sweep.

Strive to annihilate potential threats on the prairie in one fell swoop.

As long as it is a Hun tribe, it will be destroyed, or it may be captured.

In order to welcome the relocation of the people of Daqin, they also took great pains.

Want to create a safe prairie.

These sweeps are essential.

In the main tent of the frontier army.

There were only three of them here at this time.

"Your Highness, there is news from Wang Ben that Mao Dun and others have not returned to their lair."

"The following soldiers found that Modu and the others were heading west."

"The soldiers tracked down the Gobi Desert, which is full of golden yellow sand."

"It's a dangerous moat. There are few people around, not even an animal."

"So if you ask us if we are still chasing or not, if we go out again, the sky will be full of yellow sand."

"That place is already beyond the scope of the prairie."

Meng Tian put a piece of rice paper on the table.

Reporting the news from Wang Ben.

"Already out of the prairie? Where is that?"

Wang Li looked at Meng Tian in bewilderment.

Meng Tian also shook his head, expressing that he did not know where it was.

Ying Ziye took out the rice paper and drew and wrote on it.

Soon a scribbled map was drawn.

"Going out from here is the Hexi Corridor."

"The westernmost end of the Hexi Corridor is Dunhuang, and beyond that is Yumen Pass."

"If you go out of Yumen Pass, you will reach the 36 countries in the Western Regions."

A scribbled map on rice paper drawn by Ying Ziye.

Guess correctly.

Mao Dun and others probably went to the Western Regions.

Hexi Corridor?

Dunhuang?

Yumen Pass?

What are these places?

Meng Tian and Wang Li looked at each other in blank dismay.

They had never heard of these three places at all.

They have only recently heard about the 36 countries in the Western Regions.

And it was His Highness who informed them.

"Your Highness, where is the Hexi Corridor and Dunhuang and Yumen Pass?"

"Why haven't we heard of it?"

Wang Li couldn't help asking.

Ying Ziye was stunned when he heard that.

Only then did I realize that these places don't have the same name nowadays.

"These names are ad hoc, that's not the point."

"The point is that these places fit well with these names."

Meng Tian and Meng Tian came together to look at the scribbled map.

The Hexi Corridor is because it is to the west of Hetao, surrounded by dangerous mountains to the west, it looks like a corridor.

It seems that it is not an exaggeration to call it the Hexi Corridor.

Ying Ziye pointed to a spot on the rice paper.

"The end of the Hexi Corridor is Dunhuang, which is inhabited by the Da Yuezhi, who have been conquered by the Huns."

"Continuing to the west is the dangerous land of Yumen Pass, but it has not been built yet."

"As for why they are called Dunhuang and Yumen Pass, you will understand after seeing the landforms."

Ying Ziye didn't know how to explain it.

In his impression, Yumen Pass was a famous pass set up in the Hexi Corridor in the Han Dynasty.

Located on the ancient Silk Road, it was set up during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

It got its name because of the import of Khotan jade from the Western Regions.
