Chapter 205: Tell yourself, is this stall bad enough?
"Father, the Qin Dynasty is now in ruins and waiting to be revitalized. There are no spare soldiers, horses, and food. A war has begun in the land of the Xiongnu. You entrusted the land of the Xiongnu to..."
The First Emperor didn't wait for Ying Jianglu to finish speaking, and sneered, pointing at Fu Zikang, the governor of Su Nei.
"Tell him whether my Da Qin money and food can start a war in the land of the Xiongnu."
Fu Zikang nodded simply and said, "Enough!"
"Ahem!"
Ying Chengyu seemed to have a discomfort in his throat and coughed repeatedly.
Fu Zikang looked back at Ying Chengyu, and his mouth that had been closed opened again.
"...or is it enough to just ignore it?"
Ying Chengyu put his hand to his mouth, coughing and nodding lightly.
Fu Zikang said categorically: "It doesn't matter if it's enough!"
The First Emperor's anger surged, and he had the urge to dismiss Fu Zikang on the spot.
Ying Jiang Lu's Observation Skill was fully equipped. One look at the expressions of the First Emperor and Fu Zikang showed that the Qin Dynasty must have no shortage of money and food.
The conversation continued, but he never mentioned the money and food of Da Qin.
"I ask my father to give the land of the Xiongnu to the general as my uncle said. The general does not want my father's soldiers, but recruits his own troops and horses, and goes to the land of the Xiongnu in person to relieve my father of the troubles."
"When the time comes in a few years, if my father wants to expand the territory in the northwest of Great Qin, I will hand over the land where the generals defeated him without any complaints, and then lead my Qin army to sweep the Xiongnu!"
Ying Jianglu expressed his true feelings, making him look extremely humble.
He just wants a chance, a chance to show himself.
Everyone was stunned after hearing what Ying Jianglu said.
They all stared at Ying Chengxiu, their eyes full of disdain and wonder.
Even Li Mu and Fu Zikang looked at Ying Chengxuan with words written in their eyes - Are you a good person, Your Majesty?
How can enfeoffment be divided like this? Is this a way that people can think of to enfeoff?
Why don’t you seal off the East China Sea, the easternmost part of Qin State? Why don’t you seal off Donghu, which is the northeastern part of Qin State?
Are you enfeoffing the unconquered territory? Are you being shameless?
They even refused to give him anything, and asked the third son to rely on his own strength to go to the northwest outside the fortress to contain the Xiongnu.
If you say this to a senior person, you will be beaten! You will also be able to deceive a child like the Third Young Master.
Just be a human being!
The First Emperor looked at Ying Jianglu, whose eyes were full of stubbornness, and remained silent.
He is the First Emperor, and one word can determine life or death, and one word can determine the rise or fall of a country.
Of course he could reject Ying Jianglu's request and drive Ying Jianglu out of the political affairs hall.
But the First Emperor didn't want to do it, didn't want to do it, and had no reason to do it.
Ying Jianglu just wanted to prove himself, what did he do wrong?
His proposal would be of no harm to Qin, but it was extremely harsh on himself.
The First Emperor had a dictatorial side, but the premise of that side was that he thought what he was doing was right.
But now, the First Emperor who unified China knew that what his third son said was right and the best way to deal with the Xiongnu.
Originally, the First Emperor's strategy was to restore Yanmen and Jiuyuan counties, and then send additional troops to the border to resist the Huns' invasion.
During the few years of digesting and reviving the Six Kingdoms, maintain a defensive posture against the Xiongnu - drive them away when the Xiongnu invades, and do not pursue them into the grasslands.
After the Qin Dynasty digested the land of the Six Kingdoms, suppressed all the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and made the people of the Six Kingdoms regard themselves as Qin people, it then sent out an army of 300,000 to defeat the Xiongnu in one fell swoop.
Move hundreds of thousands of Qin people to the land of the Xiongnu, just like annexing the land of Yiqu, eat up the land of the Xiongnu in one go, and turn it into a county of the Qin Empire.
His third son, General Yinglu, did not destroy his strategy, but further improved it.
During the years of recuperation within the Qin State and the years of enduring Xiongnu raids on Qin's borders, General Yinglu was willing to defend the Qin State from the Huns.
Let Qin's border be the same as the inland, vigorously develop, speed up the repair of the Great Wall, and avoid the suffering of Xiongnu raids.
When the Qin State has finished recuperating, if his general, Lu, is still alive, he will give all the territory he conquered to the Qin State and to the First Emperor.
Moreover, General Ying was able to do so many things without the need for the First Emperor to provide troops, horses, food and grass. He could handle all the necessary matters by himself, and there was no need for any further losses from the Qin State.
In modern times, Ying Jianglu's move was tantamount to a promise that he would not need any support from China. He would recruit his own troops to fight against Japan, and once it was defeated, he would give Japan to China.
The First Emperor had no reason to object regardless of emotion, reason, or profit.
The First Emperor struck the big case hard with his index finger, making a dull sound.
"If you want me to grant you the land of the Xiongnu, you can."
As soon as Ying Jianglu's face showed joy, the Emperor's next words wiped away all the blood on his face and turned it into a pale color.
"Tell me, how are you going to contain the Huns? How many soldiers and horses are you going to call? Where are you going to attack? How much food are you going to bring?"
Seeing the light gradually disappearing from the eyes of the third son, the First Emperor couldn't bear it, but his words became colder.
"It seems that you don't know. I asked a little too much, so I will ask you a simple question. Tell me, how do you survive in the land of the Huns?"
Ying Jianglu pursed his lips, raised his head stubbornly, and said proudly: "I have my own plan..."
The First Emperor drew out the long sword from his waist, rushed towards Ying Jianglu quickly, and struck the third son with a sword in the head!
A cold light flashed in Ying Jianglu's eyes, and he heard exclamations of surprise in the hall.
The next moment, a strand of black hair was seen flying from the air, dangling down in front of his knees.
"you are dead."
The First Emperor held a long sword in his hand and spoke calmly.
"You can't survive under my sword, how can you survive under the Huns' thousands of troops? I can say that the Huns are weak, and you can say that the Huns are weak, but you can't."
Ying Jianglu's body was about to collapse and staggered.
But without the First Emperor's look, and without the order's permission, no one dared to go with Fuying General.
Without my father, I am nothing...
What I have, turns out to be just the third young master...
I am not better than others, I am just born better...
The Third Young Master of Da Qin lowered his head high and looked at the hair on his forehead that fell just in front of him, his eyes dull.
What the First Emperor cut off was not just the hair on his forehead, but also the ideals and aspirations in his heart.
"You were born in the palace and grew up in Xianyang. You ate delicacies from the mountains and seas and drank nectar. You have never seen the cold wind in the northwest or the scimitars of the barbarians."
"I have never eaten dry food that was frozen hard and harder than a rock. I have never drunk snow water that is mixed with mud, turbid and full of earthy smell."
The First Emperor turned around and walked towards the big case, talking as he walked.
Wang Wan, Li Si, Fu Zikang.
Li Mu, Ren Xiao, Tu Sui, Zhao Tuo.
No matter the civilian or military officers, there was no trace of sympathy for General Ying in their eyes at this moment, and they couldn't bear it.
They waited quietly for the First Emperor to return to the big case and discuss unfinished matters with them.
From the beginning to the end, they looked directly at Ying Jianglu when he rushed in and knelt on the ground, asking the First Emperor to grant him the land of the Huns.
After they heard what Ying Jianglu said and knew what Ying Jianglu was talking about, they no longer paid attention to Ying Jianglu.
This is a farce.
The joke of a child who doesn’t know the heights of heaven and earth.
A joke about Chang'an Jun teasing the third young master.
They still had feelings of contempt and speechlessness towards Ying Chengyu, but they almost ignored Ying Jianglu.
In the Qin Dynasty, where military merit was implemented, the princes of the royal family were born with glory and wealth, but they did not have a prominent position.
In Qin, weakness is a crime and there is no human rights.
Not worthy of sympathy, no reason to argue.
In the entire Da Qin, the only Da Qin prince who can be respected by others is the current crown prince Ying Fusu.
If this proposal were made today and the person kneeling here was Ying Fusu, then he would never be questioned by the First Emperor.
"In the Qin State and in the eyes of the ministers, you are the Third Young Master of the Qin Dynasty. In the desert, in the eyes of the Xiongnu, although you are still the Third Young Master of the Great Qin Dynasty, you are even more of a piece of fat."
"You can bargain with me for a piece of fat meat that demands the city and county. If you still know your own self, go back and don't embarrass me here!"
Ying Jianglu could no longer straighten his body, and a huge feeling of powerlessness came from his heart.
His heart felt like a glutton opening its bloody mouth and eating up all his energy and energy.
He leaned forward and was about to fall to the ground, unconsciously stretching his hands forward to avoid falling bruised and bruised.
"Your Majesty, are you training me, or are you training me?"
A not tall figure stood in front of Ying Jianglu, leaning forward with his thigh against Ying Jianglu.
Ying Jianglu did not put his hands on the ground, but hugged an extremely strong thigh.
The Third Young Master did not expect anyone to help him. He looked up blankly and saw Ying Chengyu with a dissatisfied look on his face.
The First Emperor stopped and turned his back to Ying Chengyu, who was standing in front of his third son.
Facing the First Emperor head-on, the seven people standing next to the case could clearly see that the original calm expression of the First Emperor turned ugly.
"Ten years have passed since the incident in Tunliu, and you are still not tired of talking about it? No one is a saint, and no one can make mistakes. Your Majesty, please don't hold on to the past."
The shame of Tunliu was the greatest humiliation of Qin in the past hundred years.
Guo Kai of the State of Zhao sent 5,000 troops and horses to outnumber the enemy, and left all the 50,000 troops and horses of Lord Chang'an of the State of Qin in the Zhao land, leaving no one alive.
He also captured Lord Chang'an alive and demanded fifteen cities from Qin in exchange, which was regarded as a great shame and humiliation by the Qin people.
Since then, the most unpleasant curse word in Xianyang has become - "You are the king's younger brother."
Ying Chengyu patted his third nephew on the shoulder and chuckled: "Don't take it to heart, little Taotie, your father is talking about me."
Tu Sui sneered beside the big case, his voice was neither high nor low, and his words were neither light nor serious.
"If Sui was defeated at Tunliu, he would have wiped his neck and died in Zhao Kingdom. How could Lord Chang'an be so proud?"
Li Mu, whose face almost became as ugly as the First Emperor's, became even more ugly at this moment.
He stared at Tu Sui coldly, as if he were looking at a clown.
"Why is Mr. Zhao Wu'an looking so ugly? This should be the joy of your Zhao country."
The young general Zhao Tuo said loudly on purpose.
Li Mu didn't even bother to look this time.
The generals of Qin are inferior to each other from generation to generation!
Ren Xiao frowned slightly and stopped Tu Sui and Zhao Tuo.
Having followed Wang Jian in the battle to attack Zhao, he knew Li Mu much better than Tu Sui and Zhao Tuo, the two new generation generals who were dissatisfied with both heaven and earth.
As a member of the military, the more I get to know Li Mu, the more I understand how terrifying he is.
"May I ask Mr. Wu An if you have any inside information on this matter?"
Li Mu saw that Ren Xiao was sincerely asking for advice and had a good attitude. In addition, he also wanted to vindicate Ying Chengyu.
Then he said in a cold voice: "The Lord of Chang'an deliberately defeated him so that Guo Kai's treacherous minister could take power. Zhao's five thousand troops suffered no casualties, and Qin's fifty thousand troops did not die."
Ren Xiao:......
Tu Sui:......
Zhao Tuo:......
There are ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping through the hearts of the three of them. How can this battle be fought like this?
Lost Tunliu and won the national war. Isn't this the strategy of attacking with troops in "The Art of War"?
Although Ren Xiao was extremely shocked and felt admiration for Ying Chengyu in his heart, his expression was fine.
Tu Sui and Zhao Tuo, two young generals who had made sarcastic remarks just now, were embarrassed.
Most of the soldiers have one characteristic: they have a clear conscience and respect the strong.
Their faces turned blue and white, and they did not dare to look at Li Mu and Ying Chengyu. They wanted to strangle themselves who had just spoken.
At the side of the big case, these people spoke without deliberately lowering their voices. Ying Chengyu heard them clearly, but Ying Chengyu ignored them.
One is that they are too lazy to respond and cannot see the situation clearly, which is stupidity. Why should you be angry with stupid people?
Secondly, he had no time and wanted to support his third nephew.
During the dialogue on the major case, the two brothers, the First Emperor and Ying Chengfan, did not stop talking.
"I am here to answer your Majesty's question for Little Taotie. Little Taotie does not intend to contain the Huns, but plans to unify the Huns. He plans to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses, set out from Yanmen, and fight wherever he goes."
"If you encounter the Huns, fight them. When the food is almost gone, go back to Yanmen to resupply. Brother, please don't say what you would do if you hadn't fought them before. That doesn't exist."
The Huns were able to conquer Jiuyuan, not because Yanmen was so strong, but because Da Qin had too few troops in the two counties left behind.
The Xiongnu at this time was far from the empire that unified the desert and had a territory even larger than that of the Han Dynasty during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Huns at this moment are just a slightly more powerful tribe in the desert.
The First Emperor knew that Yingcheng had a saddle, stirrups, and horseshoes, and he also knew that Yingcheng had iron tools that were much sharper than today's bronzes.
With the blessing of these cheat-like equipment, 30,000 soldiers and horses are invincible in the desert where it is difficult to set up ambushes. There is really no situation that they cannot defeat.
The First Emperor turned around and narrowed his eyes.
"Where did his 30,000 troops come from?"
Ying Chengqiu chuckled and squinted his eyes.
"I give."
"In the land of Yanmen, it is difficult to grow food. The food is all transported from Guanzhong, which costs a lot of money."
I will not supply these 30,000 horses.
"From now on, I will cover the food supply for Yanmen. No, I will cover the food supply for all the seven counties in the northwest."
It doesn't matter, I have plenty of food.
The First Emperor strode up to the big case, pointed to the northwest map above, and shouted: "Okay, okay! If you want to take care of it, then you will take care of it to the end! Thirty thousand troops and horses will suffer losses in every war. You
Expeditions in the desert are like water without roots. You win every battle, but the number of people you fight becomes smaller and smaller. How many times can you win?"
"If you are recruiting soldiers to join the war, where will you recruit them? Yanmen, Jiuyuan, or Longxi, Shangjun? There are ten times more guards than ordinary people there. Where are you going to recruit soldiers? Where do you recruit them?"
"Of course, you have a lot of money. If you recruit soldiers from Guanzhong, you can also recruit soldiers from Bashu and other places. But these children of Guanzhong and Bashu who have no war experience and no training will definitely be unaccustomed to the land of the Xiongnu when they arrive in the land of the Xiongnu. A group of weak people will not be fully armed.
No one can defeat the Xiongnu."
"The Huns are not strong, but they are compared with the warriors of Great Qin, not with the people of Great Qin! Of course, you can also say that you train first, and then go to the battlefield after training, then I will talk to you about training."
"In those deserts that are completely different from the Central Plains, you have to train for at least three months before you can produce a new army. 30% of the new army must be supported by 70% of the old troops, and it will take another three months before the army takes shape. You can train and produce iron.
Eagle Swordsmen are no strangers to training, so you should know that I made the best estimate."
"So during the three months of new recruit training, how many of the 30,000 old troops fighting in the desert will be left? Can 70% of the original army be left? The new troops will make your army's combat effectiveness decrease instead of increase.
In three months, the remaining number will be reduced by at least 50%!"
"Don't expect me to send troops to support you. The troops I have sent to the border counties are only enough to defend the border counties. I will not provide you with any support."
"I am not angry with you. Unless you show me the possibility of completely wiping out the Xiongnu, Qin will never participate in this war."
"You can take the third child to the desert to do whatever you want. You can take him to be an invincible and invincible god of war. You can squander your savings over the past few years and have a big game."
"Then when you have had enough fun, you will return to Xianyang in high spirits. You will be your Lord Chang'an, and he will be his Third Young Master. Then you will leave a mess for me, and I will clean it up for you!"
Ying Chengyu held down his body and trembled together. He was frightened by the power of the First Emperor and wanted to escape from Ying Jianglu in the Yizheng Hall.
He shrugged and said, "Your Majesty, even so, it's not a mess. We at least bought Qin some time to recuperate, right?"
The First Emperor sneered.
"Come and tell me, you can only kill with 30,000 soldiers and horses, but you can't build. Without the people to follow you, you can't build a city. How can you hold on to the territory you conquered?"
"Tell me, how are you going to drive out the Xiongnu in the desert where the Xiongnu are native? Do you know the topography, topography, and landforms of the Xiongnu better than the Xiongnu?"
"Tell me, you exposed the saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes to the Xiongnu, but you can't kill them all. In a few years, the Qin Dynasty has finished its recuperation. Facing the Xiongnu who have saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes, how many more soldiers and how much food will it cost!
"
"Tell me, after the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Huns a few years ago, can the Qin Dynasty still expand in the face of the Donghu, Qiang and other barbarians who are equipped with saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes around them?"
"You can tell yourself whether this stall is bad enough or not!"
