156 The father and son talked about the suffering of the Huns, and the strategy of the Shang army in

When Prince Fusu asked a question, Emperor Ying Zheng waved his hand indifferently: "You don't need to worry about any money and food. After the Qin Dynasty captured the six kingdoms of Guandong, we seized more than tens of millions of money and food from the palaces of the six kingdoms of Guandong. Besides, the previous construction of the Chi Dao to Xianyang across the country was not only necessary to supply the daily food of the people and the materials needed to build the Chi Dao, but also not much money and food.

Moreover, the Huns pretended to me to have millions of iron cavalry, but as far as I know, if the population of the entire Hun tribe wants to supply millions of iron cavalry, unless some of the Huns women are included, the young and strong men of the Huns alone will not be able to make up 500,000! In addition, I have handed over half of the royal tiger talisman to the hands of the general Meng Tian. With Meng Tian as the commander, hundreds of thousands of Huns want to go south into our Central Plains? Humph, I am afraid that Meng Tian will even burn their tent in the Hetao land!!"[..com]

Although Young Master Fusu still wanted to advise First Emperor Ying Zheng to slow down the progress of the overhaul of the Tao in various parts of the world, he saw that the face of First Emperor Ying Zheng was already a little impatient. He knew that at this time, he would have any good results. In the end, he swallowed the words he had already said back to his stomach, and stood silently on the side of First Emperor Ying Zheng, silently watching First Emperor Ying Zheng and his two sisters walking while enjoying the scenery in the palace.

In fact, at this time, although the father and son did not have the opportunity to participate in politics because the First Emperor Ying Zheng was in his prime, the father and son would occasionally have a little disagreement in terms of some casual policies. For the strong father of the First Emperor Ying Zheng, Prince Fusu, sometimes he could only take the initiative to take a step back to reduce the dispute between himself and his father, but the belief in Prince Fusu's heart did not change fundamentally due to his father's request. Perhaps this is why the First Emperor Ying Zheng was increasingly dissatisfied with Prince Fusu, so that he did not establish the position of prince at the last moment. Finally, after the First Emperor Ying Zheng passed away, a tragedy of brothers being killed by Li Si, Zhao Gao and directed by Hu Hai was staged.

Although he was still a little worried about the millions of iron cavalry that might appear in the Huns, when the First Emperor Ying Zheng mentioned that the enemy's chief general was Meng Tian, ​​the young master Fusu had at least some confidence in his heart. You should know that since Meng Tian debuted, he has been invincible in the east and west. Even if Li Xin was not dead, Meng Tian was still the top of the new generation of generals of the Qin Dynasty. The First Emperor Ying Zheng handed over the royal tiger talisman to Meng Tian, ​​and hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers could at least block the Huns' cavalry from the south.

At night, General Meng Tian’s mansion.

Meng Tianzheng, together with Meng Yi and Lu Bu, studied the military map in front of him and discussed how to deal with the possible large cavalry units of the Huns.

"General Meng Tian, ​​according to my opinion, ten out of ten Huns will lead their troops south, and it is very likely that the head of the Huns' army was the Huns' Toman Shanyu." Lu Bu pointed to the Hetao Plain, the current base camp of the Huns on the map and said in a decisive tone.

Meng Tian nodded: "I have heard of this person. It is said that since the Touman Shanyu inherited the position of the previous Xiongnu Old Shanyu, he has launched wars against several tribes of all sizes and even damaged the Yuezhi tribe. The Xiongnu tribe took this opportunity to occupy the Hetao Plain, the most plump water planted. The size of the tribe has been greatly enhanced in more than ten years. This time, the Touman Shanyu sent envoys to our Daqin to ask the emperor to marry the princess. I am afraid that after learning that our Daqin unified the world, he took the initiative to test the attitude of our Daqin rivals and the Huns.

If the emperor married the princess to the Huns because of the few words of envoys in the court today, Touman would feel that our Qin Dynasty was cowardly, and perhaps he would not look at us for the time being, but to the small and medium-sized tribes around him that were easier to deal with than the Qin Dynasty. Until one day Touman unified the grassland, he would lead the herders of the entire grassland to attack the Qin Dynasty.

Today, the emperor directly killed several envoys in the court, and even cut the other envoys of the Huns, which wiped out Toutan's face. So no matter whether Toutan was willing to go to war with Daqin now, at least in terms of face, he would not be able to not send troops to retaliate against Daqin, otherwise his position as the Xiongnu Shanyu might not be able to sit down safely. And on the other hand, since he learned from the envoys who had their noses cut and both ears today, he should also know that if we cannot destroy our Daqin, the sharp blade placed behind them, he would not be able to deal with the small and medium-sized tribes around him. Therefore, we will have a battle with the Huns!"

Meng Yi frowned and looked at the leather map on the table: "Although it is already confirmed that the Huns will lead their troops south, we are still unable to determine which direction these Huns will attack."

Meng Tian nodded and said, "The Hetao Plain is not only rich in water and grass, but also the lifeline of our northern Qin Dynasty. If the Huns Toman Shanyu did not have a difficult head to gather in other places, the Huns' cavalry could use Hetao as the starting point, or invade Yanmen Pass from the eastern Zhao area, or directly invade our Guanzhong area from the western Yinshan area. The Huns can choose both directions of the main attack, but we cannot hoard the same defensive power on these two borders for defense.

One reason is that our Qin Dynasty had just pacified the world, and the Qin soldiers who were responsible for guarding various counties in the world were directly divided into 400,000 troops. Including the hundreds of thousands of troops ordered to go to the Baiyue, the maximum number of soldiers available in the country was only 400,000, and there were still 100,000 soldiers to defend Guanzhong, and the maximum number of people who could be used was not more than 300,000. Secondly, the emperor recently laid a road to Xianyang in various parts of the world. This project consumed extremely money and food. Apart from the food and grass consumed by this project, the remaining food and grass cannot be supplied to more than 300,000 troops for half a year. If these 300,000 soldiers still had to divide their troops into two groups to defend, it would give the Huns the possibility of defeating each one."

Lu Bu remembers that history records that Meng Tian directly led the army to attack the Huns' Hetao, but it was not said that Meng Tian changed from defense to attack? Therefore, Lu Bu asked in confusion: "Since we will be passive if we defend, why don't we take the initiative to attack and fight the Huns in Hetao? As long as we take the initiative to attack, the Huns should not ignore the Hetao Plain and continue to march into the border of Daqin at the risk of being surrounded and annihilated, right?"

Meng Tian and Meng Yi looked at each other, and they didn't expect that Lu Bu's reaction was so fast. When they were just worried about the need to defend the Huns from both sides of the east and west, Lu Bu had already come up with a way to take the initiative to attack instead of defense to force the main force of the Huns to fight the Qin army in the Hetao land. They didn't know that even without Lu Bu's guidance, with the talents in the hearts of the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi, they could still think of the way to attack instead of defense.

"The Fengxian method is good, but there is one thing we must pay attention to, that is, our army has no idea about the Hetao land. Whether it is the mountains and rivers of Hetao, rivers or the distribution of the Huns tribes on the Hetao land, if we really want to use Fengxian's strategy of attack instead of defense, then we must first snatch these things before the Huns' army set off.

Because the main thing for our Qin army is infantry, and we are short of cavalry and chariots. Even if we take the initiative to attack the Huns, we will lose the first move on the battlefield. In this case, if we rashly enter the Huns' nest, the Huns' nest, we may be besieged by overwhelming Huns at a wrong place. Even if these Huns' cavalry are not our opponents on the front, as long as they cut off our food route and trap us on the plains, the ending is nothing more than the destruction of the entire army!"

Although Meng Yi has always been an uncivilized and unmilitary official position in Xianyang, Meng Yi, who came from a general family, is not unfamiliar with war, and even surpasses Lu Bu, a battlefield general who "becomes a half-way monk".
