In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 505
Shangjun, Fushi.

Compared with the prosperous Guanzhong, the population of Shangjun is not large, only a few hundred thousand.As the county government, Fu Shi is the place where the population is relatively concentrated, and it is also the place where the arsenal, granary and army are concentrated.

In the county guard's mansion, Zhao Shuang recruited his subordinates and issued orders in front of the huge map.However, at this time, there was one more person in the mansion.

Guo Wei Liao!
For some reason, the captain of the country who was supposed to give advice on attacking the six countries came here. He seemed very interested in how Zhao Shuang would use his troops?
After listening to Zhao Shuang's various arrangements, after everyone retreated, Wei Liao groaned and stepped forward.

Reforming the military system in Longxi, Shangjun, and Beidi, so that the soldiers of counties and counties along the Great Wall obeyed a unified command was originally a proper countermeasure against the Xiongnu.

In addition, along the Great Wall at various key passes, supplementary military strongholds and high towers, increased beacons and fortresses, adjusted strategies against the enemy, and adopted an active defensive attitude.

Although these series of measures are good, Wei Liao feels that they are not in Zhao Shuang's style.

"Mr. Hanyang's arrangement seems to be just to defend?"

"If you don't defend, should you still attack?"

Zhao Shuang smiled leisurely and asked back.

Wei Liao knew very well that now the elite of the Qin army were in Guanzhong, including a large number of cavalry.However, Zhao Shuang's cavalry army was insufficient, and he had no advantage over the Huns.

More importantly, at the moment Zhao Shuang does not have much military rations in his hands, and supports a long-term, large-scale army to fight against the Huns.

Regarding Zhao Shuang's words, Wei Liao was noncommittal.

He took a step forward and pointed to the territory of the Huns on the map.

"There is a saying that the Xiongnu do not have the advantages of a city, and they live in land with abundant water and grass. It is also said that the Yinshan Mountains outside the Great Wall are lush with vegetation and many animals, but most of their land is brine, which can only be used as pastures. However, the records in ancient books Not necessarily exhaustive. At that time, King Wuling of Zhao expelled Loufan and Linhu, and built the Great Wall along Yinshan Mountain, so that Zhao Jun could reclaim Shibian. Then the state of Zhao declined, and the Xiongnu went south, occupying the south of Yinshan Mountain. Shanyu of the Xiongnu built the City, plundered my Chinese people as slaves, cultivated and farmed."

Having said that, Wei Liao smiled.

"It can be seen that there are many fertile fields along the river."

"What does the captain want to say?"

"Qin's attack on South Korea is imminent. Lord Hanyang only has one year at most. After that, it will be difficult to mobilize troops."

Wei Liao's meaning is very simple.Although there is a shortage of food now, at least there is still.If the Qin army starts to attack the six countries of Shandong on a large scale, then the military food will be in short supply, and the supply of the entire system will definitely be poured into the main force of the Qin army of the six countries of Shandong.At that time, they can only defend and can no longer attack.

"Your Majesty, you are too worried. Although there are many fertile fields along the banks of the great river, the vast land in the middle is grassland. The Huns can still use it as pastures to raise cattle and horses. How can we Qin people have no support from the Great Wall? fight?"

In the entire Hetao area, one part of the Great Wall was divided into two, which were occupied by the Xiongnu and Qin respectively.However, most of the places occupied by the Qin State are hills and mountains, which are defensive.Outside the Great Wall, large areas of grassland with rich water and grass suitable for grazing are all in the hands of the Xiongnu.

The plateaus and grasslands, which are hundreds of miles deep, can be used by the Huns to graze in peacetime, and can be used as a strategic buffer zone in wartime.

"So, Lord Hanyang really doesn't plan to attack?"

Wei Liao spoke slightly, always feeling a little suspicious in his heart.

"I'm just a little Lord Hanyang, and I only have a thousand cavalry in my hands. Do I still want to steal the Huns' lair?"

Zhao Shuang spread out his hands, his big innocent eyes blinked and blinked.

"This Zhao Shuang is really difficult."

Touman's complexion was not very good.

He originally planned to harass the Qin army with high-frequency and small-scale attacks.But after Zhao Shuang rectified the border defense and unified dispatch, this kind of attack gradually became ineffective.

"Shan Yu, I heard that the Qin Army started repairing fortresses at various key passes along the Great Wall, and built beacon towers in remote places. And places near the county town have set up quite a few camps."

The Qin army's original defense system was quite complete, and Zhao Shuang integrated it on this basis, concentrating resources and spending little money.But for the Huns, it was very troublesome.

The plundering team of hundreds or thousands of riders has no effect. For Touman, the only option is to increase investment.

However, in this way, the cost will also increase.If you can't grab something, the people in the tribe below will complain.

Compared with Qin, the Xiongnu had a military advantage.However, this advantage is not absolute.

In fact, the Xiongnu had large pastures where they could graze horses and reduce economic pressure.However, even so, the national power of the Huns cannot be compared with that of Qin.Although the economic pressure has been reduced, it still consumes a lot of national power.

If the number of troops going south and the frequency of attacks are increased, Touman must move the people under him to the south on a large scale.Otherwise, a long-distance raid will destroy the horse.What's more, this is the time for war horses to fatten up.

While Touman was thinking about whether to put on weight, a notification came from his ear.

"Shan Yu, the eagle shooters at the front have heard the news that the people of Qin are building a military camp..."

Touman was a little impatient and waved his hand.

"Haven't the Qin people been cultivating for a long time?"

"It's different this time. Qin Renxiu is outside the Great Wall. Moreover, it seems that the scale is very large."

"What did you say?"

Outside the Great Wall, the Qin army camp.

As a defense system built on the Great Wall, the distance of this military stronghold is already very long, but it is not too long, and it is stuck at a subtle distance.

Just now, a short war ended.

Just after the scouts of the Qin Army reported the arrival of the Huns' cavalry, the corvees who built the camp quickly hid in the camp, and the soldiers took up their crossbows to meet the enemy.

Relying on the stronghold, the Qin army quickly repelled the Xiongnu's attack.Of course, the Huns did not mean to attack with all their strength.

Touman watched from a distance, waiting for the attacking cavalry to return.

"Chan Yu, this Qin army is very powerful. We lost more than a dozen men in just one meeting."

Touman didn't care about these things at the moment.During the battle just now, Touman climbed up and looked over, but saw that there were still a lot of grain stores built in this army stronghold.

Most importantly, the location where Zhao Shuang chose to build the camp was subtle.It is more than 70 miles away from the Great Wall, and there is sufficient water source, which is enough to support the long-term garrison.

What worries Touman the most is that Zhao Shuang doesn't just want to build an outpost, but wants to build a military system to extend the strength of the Qin army outward.

If the Qin army continued to move forward, it would be the traditional grazing area of ​​the Huns.Once the Qin army has a firm foothold here, the grazing of the Huns will be greatly affected.

Touman saw Zhao Shuang's intentions, the other party was not slashing with a knife, but poking with a needle little by little.Although it will not hurt the muscles and bones, it is very disgusting.

"An order to move the king's court to the south. In addition, summon warriors to sweep this camp to the ground within ten days."

"Shan Yu, who should lead the army?"

"I will come by myself."

Touman looked at the camp in front of him, and spoke in a deep voice.
