MTL - My Great Qin Cannot Die-Chapter 549 Occupy the Hetao first, and then discuss the battle situation!
Ying Zheng is very calm.
He was very clear that the capture of Hetao was only a small part of the Great Qin Empire's war against the Huns.
The reason why he sent troops was to hold back the Zuo Xian king of the Xiongnu and relieve the pressure on Xiang Yu and Meng Tian.
Even if he is defeated, it doesn't actually have much impact on the battle situation. What really affects is his prestige.
Drinking the mutton soup, the idea of Yingzheng flickered. He knew in his heart that the news here would definitely get out. Once King Zuo Xian got the news, it would be the final battle in the Hetao area.
At this moment, Ying Zheng was hesitating in his heart. He was thinking about taking the Hetao directly or taking the Hexi Corridor all at once.
He has only 50,000 troops, and he must ensure the victory of the Northern Expedition.
With thoughts turning in his heart, Ying Zheng turned to Zhang Han, who was beside him, and said, "Come here with a map!"
"No."
Nodding in agreement, Zhang Han took the recently drawn map and spread it out in front of Ying Zheng.
His eyes fell on the map, Zhang Han pointed at the map and said, "Your Majesty, we should be here, and the Hun's Zuo Xian king's department is here."
"We want to annihilate the Zuo Xian Wang clan, and then we need to cross the big river, but there are no ships in our army, and it is extremely difficult to cross the river."
"Moreover, the cavalry of Zuo Xianwang's army is not weak, and being able to occupy the Hetao area is enough to prove Zuo Xianwang's ability."
……
Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded, then turned towards Zhang Han and said, "Our army is cavalry, so we must give full play to the advantages of cavalry."
"So, we should rush to attack, and then choose a tributary to cross the river, or bypass the big river. The goal of crossing the river directly is too large, and it is easy for the Huns to detect."
Speaking of this, Ying Zheng's words changed: "Our army is here now, and this area belongs to the Hetao area, and this area belongs to Hexi, which used to be Yongzhou."
"On the old land of Yongzhou, there are still tribes such as the Da Yuezhi, but the land here is fertile, which is conducive to farming, and it is even more lush with water and grass.
"In this battle, if we successfully win the Hetao area and want to occupy the Hexi land, we only need to move our army south."
Having said this, Ying Zheng took a deep look at Zhang Han and said, "Besides you led the army to conquer Longxi before, you can be considered to know the situation here."
"Do you think it's better for me to take the Hetao area directly for this battle, or to annex the Hexi area?"
In the process of Ying Zheng's narration, Zhang Han's eyes kept following Ying Zheng's words on the map. After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he probably understood Ying Zheng's intention.
After clarifying Ying Zheng's thinking, Zhang Han thought for a long time in his heart, and then turned to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, my minister was outside Longxi, and he also plotted here."
"It's just that the minister led the army out of Longxi to train soldiers and generals, and at that time, various reforms were being implemented within the empire, so the matter was shelved."
"The geographical location of Hexi is extremely important. As long as our army controls Hexi, we can plan for the Western Regions."
"In the true sense, it can be attacked, retreated or defended, but the minister does not recommend attacking the Hexi land at this moment."
Speaking of this, Zhang Han said in a solemn tone, "Your Majesty, now that our army is fighting against the Huns, the war has just begun, and it is not suitable to open up a second battlefield."
"As long as our army breaks through the Xiongnu, then the Da Yuezhi and other alien races will come down upon hearing the wind, or move westward."
"My Daqin and the Huns are a world feud. This time the Northern Expedition is a battle of national fortunes. There is no room for loss. Please, Your Majesty, think twice!"
……
At this moment, Zhang Han was a little worried. He knew Ying Zheng's ambition and the benefits of occupying Hexi, but the risk of doing so was so great that he hesitated.
After all, this means that Ying Zheng will be in danger.
And now the war between the Daqin Empire and the Huns has just begun. Once they attack Hexi, they will definitely fight against the Dayuezhi. In this way, whether it is the Dayuezhi or the Huns, the war is at a stalemate, and there is no spare energy to break the situation.
Although these 50,000 troops are small, if the war reaches a critical moment, it will be enough to break the situation.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded.
He knew what Zhang Han meant. The Great Qin Empire did not have the power to swept the Xiongnu and the Great Yuezhi, but this time the army going north was only 150,000 people, plus the Beidi army originally stationed in Jiuyuan.
In this battle, Da Qin did not fight with the power of the whole country.
"I understand, I will occupy the Hetao first, and then discuss the situation!" After a while, Ying Zheng finally made a decision.
"No."
The army finished eating and drinking, rested overnight in Heyin, and then headed towards the tributary of the river.
Huns.
Dragon City.
"Da Chanyu, the Rangers got the news that the First Emperor of Qin is sitting in Jiuyuan, and Wang Jian, Marquis of Wucheng of the Qin, is sitting in Jiuyuan as the commander-in-chief, and Meng Tian personally led the army northward, heading towards Yinshan."
Hearing the news, a murderous intent appeared in Touman's eyes. He knew that Meng Tian went north, which meant that the Daqin Empire was ready.
"Let the youths of the major tribes gather quickly, and at the same time give Meng Tian a piece to Ben Shanyu!" Touman took a sip of kumiss, and said in a generous tone, "Wait for the youths to gather, kill Meng Tian, and head south to Xianyang— !"
"Qin people's women are tender and gentle!"
"Beheaded Meng Tian, and the horse stepped on Xianyang—!"
"Beheaded Meng Tian, and the horse stepped on Xianyang—!"
"Beheaded Meng Tian, and the horse stepped on Xianyang—!"
......
The loud trumpet sound moved everyone's emotions~www.novelbuddy.com~ Touman's eyes were full of confidence, he was not as good as Meng Tian in siege battles, but on this grassland, Xiongnu Erlang came and went like the wind, and he was invincible. world.
When Meng Tian dared to go north, he was courting death.
"Is there any news from the Zuoxianwang tribe?" Putting the wine cup on the desk, Touman thought of Zuoxianwang Ashi Lefalcon in Hetao.
"Reporting to Da Shanyu, there is no news from Zuo Xian Wang's department. Now that the Qin army is heading north, Zuo Xian Wang's department is the safest!" There was a trace of unwillingness in the eyes of You Xian Wang, and he said to Touman.
In the Huns, the competition is great.
The Hetao occupied by King Zuo Xian is itself a land of abundant water and grass, and the Mobei where they are located is too barren. In this way, their tribe will never be as good as that of King Zuo Xian.
Because of this, there are not a few people who are greedy for the Hetao.
"Pass the eagle order, order Zuo Xian Wang to lead the young and strong to cooperate with our army to intercept Meng Tian's army!"
"No."
The news spread out one after another, and the entire Mobei was shaken. Countless young tribesmen began to gather. They rode war horses and galloped away in the direction of Longcheng.
War is the happiest thing for them.
Because only war can keep them alive, and only war can keep their clansmen from freezing to death in the wind and snow.
Therefore, when Touman Shanyu gave an order, the entire Mobei suddenly boiled.
