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

Chapter 692

For a long time, the barbarians in the north had put huge military pressure on Guanzhong. After Emperor Qin came to rule the world, he finally set about solving this problem.

The Qin army was brave and launched a large-scale war against the Huns a few years ago.

Meng Tian led an army of hundreds of thousands, and drove north to the Xiongnu, as far as Yinshan.Since then, the Hu people dare not go south to herd horses.

In the grand narrative of the empire, this war is just a trivial footnote.The real purpose of the empire is to build a defense line of ten thousand miles in the north to contain the Hu people in the north from attacking the Central Plains.

This is also the reason why the empire wants to acquire the Yinshan Mountains. From the Yanshan Mountains in the east to the Yinshan Mountains and then to the Qilian Mountains, along the mountains and rivers, the defense line built will contain the pace of the Hu people in the north and lock them out of the farming areas.

Among them, the most important section, which is also the key operation of the empire, is the Great Wall built along the line of Dahe Yinshan.

This section is the Great Wall newly built by the empire. It is connected to the Great Wall of Zhao State in the cloud in the east, and Henan in the south. The location is extremely important.

The place where Meng Tian's army was stationed was designated by the empire as Jiuyuan County.

However, in this grand narrative, there are disadvantages that cannot be concealed.

That is, although the territory captured by the Qin army is vast, many of them are suitable for farming and living.However, the Huns did not operate, everything started from scratch.

If the empire wants to build this line of defense, it must raise materials and manpower from all over the world, and continue to transfuse blood.

The grain ship started from Huangyu in Qidi, traveled upstream along thousands of miles of rivers, and finally arrived at Beihe.

Flying cuds and pulling chestnuts, people's livelihood is difficult.

Of course, the empire is not just blood transfusion, but a series of supporting measures are carried out at the same time when constructing this project.

44 counties were set up along the river to relocate the population and cultivate fields to solve the supply problem of the local garrison.

However, before these measures lasted long enough, chaos ensued.

After Meng Tian, ​​Wang Li, who was in charge of the Northern River Army, faced a very difficult problem at this time.

On the one hand, many laborers, soldiers, and people who migrated to Jiuyuan and other border counties are fleeing. On the other hand, after the Guanzhong Incident, the supply of food and grass to the Beihe Army has stopped.

When Wang Li was in Dongjun, he was dragged into the water by a snare.But now that Luo Wang was killed, he was even more worried that he would be implicated.

The remnants of Luo Wang have also arrived these days, urging him to go south immediately and fight Zhao Shuang to the death.

But Wang Li didn't make up his mind.He holds an army of 20, but he is quite hesitant at this time, not knowing what to do?
Until, the envoy from Guanzhong arrived.

In the big tent, Wang Li sat in the center, and there were a group of generals on the left and right of the tent.Since Meng Tian was imprisoned, all the generals of the Meng family were implicated, and the elite cavalry were also dismantled and replaced with Wang's troops.

Li Shiqi came from outside the tent, and he was usually a good drinker without a trace of alcohol on his face at this time.

"Li Shiqi, the envoy of Lord Hanyang, Prime Minister of Great Qin, has met Marquis Wucheng!"

The Wang family has two noble families, and after Wang Jian retired in old age, the title was inherited by his grandson Wang Li.

"What is the purpose of the messenger coming?"

"For the sake of the general's life, I came here."

At Li Shiqi's words, all the Wang's generals in the tent were furious.

"Bold! Shu Ru'an dares to talk nonsense!"

Wang Li smiled disdainfully and waved his hand.

"I want to ask for advice, what danger do I have? How can the messenger save me?"

Li Shiqi bowed his hands and spoke.

"Does the general want to stand on his own?"

Hearing this, Wang Li was very disturbed and stood up.

"I never thought of this, the messenger should stop talking nonsense!"

After hearing this, Li Shiqi restrained his smile.

"The general holds an army of 20 troops, guards the northern border, and is also a Marquis of Che. He is the pillar of the empire, and his reputation is more important than the world. However, the world is full of wars, and the old families of the six countries are rebelling against Qin one after another. May I ask, where will the general come from?" place?"

When Li Shiqi asked, Wang Li was taken aback.

As the Marquis of Qin, it is absolutely impossible for him to vote for the Six Kingdoms.Besides, even if he voted, no one in the Six Kingdoms would dare to accept it.It can be said that he and Qin are bound together.

"Since the second generation came to power, the world has been tyrannized, and there have been many deaths in the border counties. Although the Beihe army is numerous, it is like a fire without pay, and it will not last long. Once the salary is exhausted, where will the general be?"

"In the Beihe army, there are many children from Guanzhong. They have fought for the country, and they have not returned for a long time. They are full of resentment. And Meng Tian is a general, and he is very popular in the army. Now the second king, Zhao Gao, used deception to steal the military power. Meng Tian is innocent. But if you go to prison, the generals will feel sorry for you. If the general listens to the traitor's words and goes south to Guanzhong, most of the soldiers will flee before he reaches halfway. At that time, he will not be able to advance or retreat, so where will the general be?"

"The general has nothing to do with himself, and he has nothing to return to. Even if there are thousands of troops, he is not in danger?"

After Li Shiqi said a few words, Wang Li's expression changed several times.In the end, he stepped off the platform, came to Li Shiqi, and bowed his hands.

"I also hope that sir will enlighten me and save Wang Li's life."

"Today's strategy, the general can only be safe by setting up a net to kill the remaining thieves and going south to Guanzhong!"

With Li Shiqi's words, Wang Li fell into deep thought.

……

Moonlit night hangs high.

Li Si sat in the house, looking at the moonlight outside.

Since being dismissed, Prime Minister Zuo's mansion, which was usually extremely lively, is now extremely calm.

Zhao Shuang entered the prime minister, opened a government office, set up a department, and was in charge of the government.

This magnificent scene is only the surface, what really matters is the inside.

Li Si has been the prime minister for so many years, and he knows the inside of the empire very well.

Sixty-seven out of ten of the world's wealth is in Guanzhong.

The warehousing system and transportation system established by the empire are usually not conspicuous, but they are actually very important.Especially now, its value is even more prominent.

Zhao Shuang's Yulin Army and Jinchengqi controlled the state-level granaries with a lot of savings, such as Xianyang warehouse, Yueyang warehouse, and Bashang warehouse in Guanzhong, and also controlled the arsenal, sealed off all levels of treasury and Linyuan Palace, and guarded Four passes.

In addition to the army, Zhao Shuang also has enough staff and ministers to maintain the entire court's operating system.

The situation is stable, but Zhao Shuang still has two big problems in front of him.

Beihe Army and Sanchuan Army.

The Northern River Army was stationed in the northern border to defend against the Xiongnu, but in today's chaotic world, the original position of this army no longer fits the current situation.

And there is a straight road from Jiuyuan City to Linguang Palace, so that Beihe Army can quickly reach Guanzhong.Convenient transportation conditions are a huge advantage, but now they have become a huge threat.

As for the Sanchuan Army, it guarded the main route of the empire going east.Even if the situation is reversed, this army is also an important force to defend the westward advance of the princes of the six countries.More importantly, the Sanchuan army also controls Ao Cang, the hub of the world's grain roads and the main artery of water transportation.

If Zhao Shuang can solve these two problems, it will be considered that he has truly secured the position of prime minister.

"My lord, news from Jiuyuan has arrived."

Although Zhao Shuang got rid of the trap, he didn't attack them, the old ministers of the empire. Instead, he kept their eyes and ears outside.

This is a kind of arrogance, Zhao Shuang seems to have enough confidence, just let them watch, how will the situation develop?

"Wang Li killed the people caught in the net in Jiuyuan, and led dozens of cavalry to go south. In less than three days, he will probably reach Guanzhong."

Li Si closed his eyes, but at the same time, a servant rushed in without regard for etiquette.

"Master, the Habayashi Army is here."

Li Si stood up, thinking that Zhao Shuang was going to attack him, but the servant said.

"They brought a lot of rewards, saying they were rewards for the young master."

Li Siben, who was about to leave, froze, stroked his beard, and murmured.

"It's amazing to demote one's father and use one's son!"
