Daqin: Robbing Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 197 Lu Bu's Expedition
In 216 BC, the 31st year of the First Emperor, Prince Qi... No, it was the second year that Crown Prince Ying Qi supervised the country.

The first emperor has not returned from his tour, but the changes in various places are in full swing. In just two years, with the implementation of Yingqi's New Deal and the full implementation of national power, all places have made great progress.

There was no resistance to the imperial examination system and other reforms, or in other words, there was no resistance on the surface, but the new Mohist in Chu was arrested for assassinating Ying Zheng, and then escorted to Xianyang to be killed.

Ying Qi integrated all the troops and shuffled the forces. Except for Meng Tian's Great Wall Guard Army, everything has changed.

Daqin had more than [-] horses and about [-] cavalry, commanded by Wei Qing and Lu Bu.

There is no way to estimate the infantry, because there are too many army camps, and adult men in Bianyi can go to the battlefield as soldiers.

If you really go to war desperately, you can probably mobilize millions of troops and hundreds of thousands of logistics support in a short time. In this era, the most expensive thing in war is logistics manpower. Often, the logistics of 10 people requires thousands of cattle. And mules, and donkeys.

But Daqin actually doesn’t need to worry too much about this, because Qin Zhidao has almost been repaired in the past two years, and there are new axles for the carriages, the problem of transportation is not a big problem at all, and the people are willing to work hard for the country when they have money to open the way. .

Ying Qi reckoned that according to the current momentum, the population of Daqin could increase by leaps and bounds within a few years. If the policies of encouraging birth, clearing up wasteland and farming, and various convenience policies for the people were implemented in the past two years, the progress of the country would be as high as that of the country. is fast.

On this day, Meng Tian from Bianyi suddenly sent a letter back from his subordinates.

After reading the letter, Ying Qi looked solemn, and then called all his confidantes back.

"The Huns are dishonest, this is Meng Tian's letter."

Ying Qi calmly handed the letter in his hand to everyone, and Lu Bu, who couldn't hold back, read it first, and then couldn't help but fly into a rage.

"What? The mere Huns dare to harass the Bianyi? How dare they attack the Dingyuan City that Daqin just built? I will definitely annihilate it!"

Dingyuan City is the name of Yingqi's newly built city. It has been formed in the past two years, and it has begun to exchange supplies and buy horses with Yuezhi and other tribes. It is different from Yingqi's initial arrangement. Most of the people stationed in it are merchants. The troops are all on the grassland defense line built by Meng Tian.

The meaning of Meng Tian's reply to this letter is very simple, that is, he hopes that Ying Qi will send the cavalry trained in the past two years, even if he does not attack, it is better to practice on the grassland.

Ying Qi was a little moved. At this time, Wei Qing said: "Your Highness, the national strength of the Great Qin has improved significantly in the past two years, and it is time to use a war to test the results of the military system reform."

Ying Qi nodded, agreeing that in the past two years, he has gradually implemented the most complete military training system in ancient history, and he can only see the changes in soldiers, but he really doesn't know whether it is suitable for war.

"Then who sent troops to Bianyi?"

Gao Shun spread out the map and put it on the table, and everyone looked at the map.

"Please allow me to give you an analysis. The rapid development of Dingyuan City in the past two years, coupled with the contribution of General Meng Tian, ​​has gradually stabilized the border town. If you really want to send troops, it is best to have results."

As he said that, Gao Shun pointed to a small county called Sanfeng. This was the farthest place where the Zhao army fought against the Xiongnu, and it was also the former horse ranch of the Xiongnu.

"It's best to take this place. In this way, Mayi has no worries, and all the places will form a front, and then drive the Xiongnu across the south of the Yellow River! Further attack Longcheng, Helan Mountain and Gaoque, these Huns royal courts, the Xiongnu will no longer be question!"

Ying Qi nodded, then looked at Di Qing, Di Qing noticed Ying Qi's gaze, and then said.

"Indeed, in my opinion, if a cavalry force is dispatched from Dingyuan City as the vanguard to strangle the scattered tribes of the Huns, and then the infantry follow up to build the city wall, there will be no situation where the Huns invade and build the city. Once the Huns cross the Yellow River, think again It will be impossible to come here, and the Hetao area will stand firmly."

Ying Qi was even more moved when he heard this.

"So, who's going to be the vanguard?"

Wei Qing, Di Qing, Lu Bu and others were eager to try, especially Lu Bu, he looked at the crowd and said viciously: "Young Master, you have something to say first, if there is a war, I will be the commander of the cavalry as the pioneer!"

Gao Changgong looked at Lu Bu worriedly, "Fengxian, why don't you wait until we settle down and attack Dragon City..."

"Stop talking! This time I have to go!" Lu Bu was determined, and then looked at Ying Qi, "My lord..."

Ying Qi smiled, "Then let Feng go first."

Kou Zhun and the others on the side were a little worried, and said to Ying Qi: "General Fengxian is impatient and extreme. It is dangerous to go to the battlefield for the first time..."

"It doesn't matter, I'm Feng Xian's general who is brave and unparalleled, and my son has promised him."

Ying Qi said that indifferently, then waved his hand to disperse the crowd, only Lu Bu was left behind.

"You're going to go to war soon, stay here today and have a drink with me. When you're in the army, don't drink alcohol, and don't yell at the soldiers, do you know?"

Lu Bu nodded meekly and said, "Of course I know... I listen to my son the most! Hahahaha, what about the wine? I want to drink plum wine. I don't know what the taste of plum wine that has been marinated for several months is like."

Ying Qi patted Lu Bu, "You are so greedy for drinking, you've had enough this time, and you'll have to drink again when you go back to the teacher."

"understood!"

The two masters and servants were eating a sumptuous banquet at the same table, watching the sunset in the distance with emotion.

"I hope you can learn a lesson from this expedition. If you really can't fight, you can go to General Meng Tian's army for help. He won't die."

"No need, I definitely won't need it, because I won't lose!"

"Arrogance!" Ying Qi scolded with a smile, "If you lose, you will be fined to raise horses in the future, and there will be no alcohol!"

"Then I can't lose!" Lu Bu laughed.

Ying Qi drank too much, so he put his arm on Lu Bu's shoulder. If Lu Bu didn't do it, Ying Qi really couldn't reach it.

"I remember, when I saw you for the first time, you were still so stupid. I hated you very much at the time, but after thinking about it, you are my lucky general! After having you, my life began to be better. get up..."

Lu Bu smiled when he heard Ying Qi's drunken words, "Life without ambition is really good. When the young master is really enthroned, let me go abroad as a chief. I will defend the young master against foreigners, and I will annihilate the Huns." !"

"Talking big words!" Ying Qi staggered to his feet, "Of course the Huns want me to destroy them myself. I want to seal the wolves and live in Xuxu, and I want to unify Asia and Europe!"

"Sir, you have great ambition! Budang is the forerunner!"

"One thing to say, this plum wine, which has been brewed for several months, has a spicy and sweet taste, which is really nostalgic."

"The few months you've been on the expedition, it's the season of yellow plums. I'll pickle a little more, and I'll reward you later! Of course, the premise is that you win."

"Hahaha, you are ready, son!"
