Chapter 37: Going north to Yanmen Pass, the Xiongnu commanded 500,000 troops
"Your Majesty, what Wang Ben and Meng Yi said are really misleading the country and the people!" Zhao Gao knew very well that he could not let Cheng Yaojin go to northern Xinjiang. At this moment, he did not care about making peace with Wang and Meng. He walked to the center of the hall and faced each other tit for tat, "
Although the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to unite, the border area is an important area of the Qin Dynasty, so how could he allow envoys to go there?"
"His Majesty!"
Li Si also felt deeply uncomfortable.
He had long been tied to a rope with Zhao Gao and Hu Hai. If Zhao Gao was in trouble, how could he, Li Si, survive alone?
And with Ying Zheng's violent temper, if Zhao Gao was in trouble, he would definitely get to the bottom of it, pull out the carrot and bring out the mud, and naturally he would not miscalculate Li Si.
Not to mention that Li Si was killed, he might also end up with a fate that would implicate the three clans.
Li Si ran to the center of the hall and stood with Zhao Gao.
"What Zhao Gao said is absolutely true! Northern Xinjiang is a place of bitter cold and a place guarded by large armies. Due to both emotions and reasons, envoys from the Tang State should not go there! If the envoy wants to see the majesty of the Qin army, your majesty can allow the envoy to go to Lantian
Daying! As for meeting Young Master Fusu, his feelings are unpredictable!"
"What?" Cheng Yaojin strode forward and picked up Li Si, "What do you mean? Who do you think is causing trouble behind the scenes?"
"Stop!" Ying Zheng glared angrily, his eyes as sharp as a falcon, "This is the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, how dare the envoy be so presumptuous?"
"Emperor Qin!" Cheng Yaojin trembled in his heart, sweating in fear, and quickly let go of Li Si, clasping his fists and cupping his hands, "It's not that the foreign ministers are rampant, but the Prime Minister of Qin insulted my lord first! As a minister, I have to take the lord's place.
I have made it clear that my lord, your Majesty, sincerely wants to have relations with the State of Qin, and really wants to see Young Master Fusu below!"
"Why do you have to see me?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows coldly, and the murderous intention arose spontaneously, "The border is an important place where the Qin Dynasty blocks the barbarians, how can we let the envoy go? I have decided on this matter! The envoy should return to the Tang Kingdom immediately and inform him
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Ben, take the envoy down and find him a horse so that he can return early!"
"No!" Wang Ben answered with his fists raised.
"Emperor Qin..."
Cheng Yaojin still wanted to argue, but was dragged away by Wang Ben.
In the court hall, Hu Hai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the envoy being dragged away.
However, when he looked at Zhao Gao, he saw Zhao Gao's sharp eyes, revealing a fierceness.
Hidden murderous intent.
…
Wang Ben and Cheng Yaojin left the court and arrived outside Xianyang City.
A good horse has been prepared for Cheng Yaojin, which can travel eight hundred miles a day.
Cheng Yaojin was about to mount his horse, but was pulled aside by Wang Ben.
"Where are the envoys going?"
"The State of Qin cannot tolerate me, so I should return to the territory of the Tang Dynasty!" Cheng Yaojin raised his eyebrows, "Do I still want to stay here with my face licked?"
"Envoy, please don't be angry!" Wang Ben patrolled around, "There is an undercurrent surging above the court! Envoy, please don't worry! However, the envoy can go to the northern border!"
"To the northern border?" Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment, "The Qin Emperor did not agree to my going! As a foreign minister, how can I go to the important place of your Qin State without permission?"
"Envoy, this is my sincere request!" Wang Ben frowned, "It is inconvenient for me to leave Xianyang, and there must be something fishy about the affairs in Northern Xinjiang! I hope that if the envoy goes, he can meet the young master Fusu and live up to his expectations.
According to the order of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, the two envoys can also find out the situation in Northern Xinjiang for me! I am interested in admonishing Your Majesty and recalling Young Master Fusu!"
"As a courtier of the Qin Dynasty, why is it inconvenient for you?"
"Envoy, the Qin Dynasty has been turbulent, and its greatness cannot be explained in a few words!" Wang Ben sighed, "If the envoy can succeed, it will be good for the Qin Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty! Other things
, I hope the envoy will not ask."
"To be honest, I also have the idea to go to Northern Xinjiang, but... I don't have the customs clearance documents!" Cheng Yaojin frowned, "How can I pass all the obstacles as a foreign minister?"
"It doesn't matter!" Wang Ben took out a letter from his body and a jade pendant with the word 'Qin' engraved on it. "These two keepsakes will allow you to travel smoothly!"
Seeing these two tokens, Cheng Yaojin frowned.
The letter looks very ordinary, nothing worth paying attention to.
But the jade pendant...
It is also a jade pendant with the word "Qin" engraved on it. This is not light!
If it was his own jade pendant, how could he dare to engrave the word "Qin" on it?
This jade pendant is definitely not his.
The person, identity, status who can represent the 'Qin State'...
"Could it be that..." Cheng Yaojin's eyes suddenly shrank and he looked shocked, "Why are you in the court?"
"Envoy, don't say anything, just know it in your heart!" Wang Ben stepped forward and held Cheng Yaojin's hand tightly, "This matter should not be made public! I hope the envoy will remember it!"
"Okay!" Cheng Yaojin cupped his fists and got on the horse, "I am determined to fulfill my mission!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin left Xianyang.
All the way east!
The Tang Dynasty was to the east of Qin.
Chang'an and Xianyang in this world are thousands of miles away.
Immediately, it turned north again four hundred miles away.
…
Two days later!
Fusu, the ruined capital, has been undergoing repairs for five days.
Weapons, armor, vests, food and fodder are all ready.
Central tent.
Fusu is mobilizing troops and generals.
According to the reports from the spies sent by Gao Shun in the past few days, various Xiongnu tribes have assembled an army of 500,000 troops, led by Touman Chanyu himself, and are heading towards Yanmen Pass.
In addition, Fusu is also worried that the other two forces are ready to take action.
The Moon Branch is in the west, and the Donghu is in the east-north direction.
Although the strength of these two tribal alliances is not as strong as the Xiongnu, they still need to be careful.
If Great Qin goes into full-scale war with the Xiongnu, Yue Zhi and Donghu are likely to commit a crime and invade Great Qin.
Unfortunately.
Fusu's current strength does not allow him to divide his forces to resist.
In fact, let alone dividing the troops, it is not easy to resist the Huns' 500,000 troops.
In the central tent, Fusu stared at the sand table.
The terrain of northern Xinjiang may seem complex, but in fact most of it is flat and flat.
If you want to set up an ambush, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Since it is difficult to set up an ambush, how can we defeat more with less?
With less than 20,000 men, how could we defeat the Huns' army of 500,000 men?
or……
Annihilate an army of 500,000!
"Lord, the enemy is coming fiercely and in huge numbers. We cannot compete with them at this time!" Gao Shun frowned and raised his hand to point to Yanmen Pass, "Yanmen Pass has thick walls and high walls. It is a fortified city. If we refuse to defend, we will wait.
Only with rescue can we have a chance of victory!"
"My lord, the general thinks that the Huns are going to Yanmen Pass, so they must not know that we have already captured the enemy!" Ran Min cupped his fists and handed over his hands, "My lord, why don't you use Yanmen Pass as a bait? When the Huns attack Yanmen Pass with all their strength, we will besiege you from both sides!"
Then we can besiege the Xiongnu army together with the Yanmen Pass defenders! We will definitely be able to defeat the Xiongnu army from head to tail!"
"What the two generals said is true! I admire you so much!"
Xu You spoke quickly, trying to act like a bastard.
But with Xu You62's intelligence, I'm afraid he can't come up with any good strategies.
"Retreat to Yanmen Pass? Use Yanmen Pass as bait?" Fusu raised his lips slightly, "Both are good strategies, but with the Xiongnu army of 500,000, the battle line must extend for hundreds of miles." This chapter has been completed!
