Daqin: Father, I really don’t have any money for a private house.

Chapter 124: The Calm Before the Storm, Win Che Big Moves Ready!!

The scout’s voice fell, and the entire Qilin Hall instantly became quiet.

Originally, when I heard him say the first half, the ministers laughed heartily one by one and kept praising Bai Qi.

Yes, Bai first destroyed the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, and then destroyed the Xiongnu Right Sage King. Twice in succession, the total annihilation of the Xiongnu cavalry exceeded 200,000!

Although the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu felt excited, he did not feel surprised.

After all, it was the Great Qin Killing God Baiqi, after all, he was riding with 100,000 Great Qin Tie! Similar results have happened too many times on Bai Qi over the years.

However, when they heard that Yingche had promised the Xiongnu iron cavalry with infantry, and completely annihilated the opponent’s 30,000 iron cavalry with a battle loss of one to two, everyone was stunned.

Even Win Zheng was stunned on the dragon chair, and he couldn’t come back to his senses for a while. In this era, cavalry is the recognition of almost everyone who understands military affairs.

It is no exaggeration to say that the shock brought by hearing the news that Ying Che rode with steps was not much less shocking in the hearts of the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu than the shock brought by hearing the news that Ying Che had ridden a hundred Yue with five thousand spirits not long ago, and was determined to be barbaric!

On the Qilin Hall, the ministers looked at each other one by one.

Or was Wang Chong the first to return to his senses and break this silent atmosphere: “Resist the horse and fight the formation? The old man has been on horseback for half a lifetime, but it is the first time he has heard of this formation! ”

“The prince is indeed a genius of heaven, a natural general!”

Hearing Wang Chong’s words, other ministers also echoed one after another.

“Yes, I have been fighting in Daqin for decades, and I have heard for the first time that infantry wins cavalry!”

“It’s just that infantry wins cavalry, the key is that the battle loss is only half of the cavalry! That’s the rarest place! ”

“The prince is young and uses soldiers like a god, and my Daqin has come out again to think that he is a famous general in the world.”

“In this battle, the crown prince and General Bai Lao really fought the national prestige of my Great Qin!”

Even Shang Martingale couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Prince Wen Tao Wuluo is a great talent that is rare in a thousand years, and it is indeed the hope of my Daqin’s future!” ”

From the first day of joining the service, Shang Martingale has never said flattering words, and rarely praises a person unabashedly.

And in recent months, Shang Martingale has praised Win Che more times than he has praised people in the past year!

Yingzheng also had a happy smile on his face: “Che’er never let Shun down!” ”

Soon, the pilgrimage ended in a peaceful laughter. After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yingzheng left Shang Martingale and Wang Chong alone.

Only after the group of ministers dispersed did Yingzheng speak: “In addition to the good news just now, Bai Qi also sent a secret letter to Shu alone. ”

“Two Ai Qing and take a look.”

Shang Martingale took the secret letter and read it quickly with Wang Chong.

The letter probably stated that Yingcher intended to divide the army into two routes and become a lone army with his infantry.

In order to cooperate with Yingche, Bai Qi led his cavalry to temporarily ally with Dong Zhuo on the eastern front. After reading the contents of the letter, Shang Martingale frowned slightly, seemed to be thinking about something, and did not speak for a while.

Wang Chong’s face was puzzled: “Shouldn’t it?” ”

Hearing this, Yun Zheng smiled and asked, “What shouldn’t be?” ”

Wang Chong said in a deep voice: “Returning to Your Majesty, it is really a very risky act for the crown prince to be stationed outside with 100,000 infantry. ”

“Although the prince has just defeated the cavalry with infantry in a formation, Chen guesses that this formation should only be effective in specific terrain.”

“The Huns have suffered losses once, and they will definitely not suffer a second loss in the same way.”

“In this way, it does not make much sense for the prince to become a lone army with infantry.”

Usually, being alone on the battlefield is definitely an act of looking for death. Of course, Yingche will not look for death, but in exchange for any general, he is a lone army, which is nothing more than to lure the enemy army to attack.

Wincher used this strategy for the first time, and it was clearly very successful.

But if you want to repeat this strategy, it is a little naïve. And the reason why Wang Chong said that he shouldn’t be is that he knows that Yingche will definitely not be so naïve.

But other than that, he really couldn’t think of a reason to win and become a lonely army.

Yun Zheng nodded slightly: “This kid, he can’t understand this move.” ”

“And the old general Baiqi probably didn’t understand what that kid wanted to do.”

After saying that, Yun Zheng turned his head to look at Shang Martingale, who had not spoken: “Shang Jun, what do you think?” ”

Shang Martingale smiled and shook his head: “When it comes to marching and fighting, the courtier is not specialized, so naturally he can’t guess the deep meaning of the prince.” ”

“But another thing makes Chen a little concerned.”

When Yun Zheng heard this, he immediately smiled: “Are you talking about Bai Qi forming an alliance with Dong Zhuo?” ”

Shang Martingale nodded: “Your Majesty, with all due respect, it seems inappropriate for the two countries to have no national credentials, and the army is forming an alliance outside.” ”

“The minister does not doubt the intentions of the old general Bai Qi, but beware… Such an alliance is not stable and may have hidden dangers. ”

When Yingzheng heard this, he immediately laughed.

After all, Shang Martingale is a representative of the Legalist family, and there is a law to follow in doing everything. Although it is not rigid, there are some occupational diseases after all.

Shang Martingale continued: “The commander of my Great Qin army is the old general Bai Qi, and he has no concerns. ”

“But that big Han, there are many factions, the queen is fighting for power, and my army rashly forms an alliance with the minister Dong Zhuo, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of the big Han.”

“For the sake of safety, perhaps Your Majesty can hand over a letter of alliance to Dahan?”

Yun Zheng laughed: “Shangjun, you are so honest, if you are not in a high position on the right side, I am afraid you will suffer a loss.” ”

Shang Martingale was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the winning government suspiciously.

Yun Zheng said with a smile: “Didn’t my Great Qin just become a marriage with the Great Han, and made an alliance treaty, promising that the two countries would be friendly and communicate with each other, and help each other in attack and defense?” ”

“Based on this article, what is wrong with the army forming an alliance to attack the Xiongnu?”

Shang Martingale was still puzzled: “Having said that, the previous covenant was too general and rude, so why not revise a specific covenant on the crusade against the Xiongnu?” ”

Even Wang Chong on the side couldn’t take it anymore, and said, “Shangjun, the crown prince suggested that Old General Bai form an alliance with Dong Zhuo, why did Old General Bai agree without hesitation?” ”

Shang Martingale shook his head: “The old man is really puzzled.” ”

Wang Chong said with a smile: “That’s because of this alliance, General Bai Lao’s 100,000 cavalry, logistics supplies, weapons, grain and grass, are all borne by the Han army, which is a advantage.” ”

“And now outside the pass, it is the army of General Bai Lao who is the dominant position, taking advantage of the opportunities and benefits.”

“Even if there is a dispute afterwards, Old General Bai can’t pat his ass and leave, anyway, I Daqin will not suffer any loss.”

“If the two countries specifically revise the covenant, there must be back and forth, not to mention that they cannot take advantage of such a bargain, and they will be constrained by the covenant everywhere, so why bother with this?”

Shang Martingale was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly realized: “So it is!” ”

Yingzheng smiled and nodded: “Shangjun, don’t worry.” ”

“Bai Qi and Che’er, that is, one old and one young two foxes, will definitely not suffer.”

“Let’s just wait and see, what surprises they will bring back.”

Time passes day by day.

Since Yan Ju’s 30,000 broken Qin iron cavalry was destroyed, there has not been a single Xiongnu cavalry in the Gaoque area.

However, in the Liaoling area of the eastern front, the combined forces of Bai Qi and Dong Zhuo advanced all the way north, annihilating many small groups of Xiongnu troops.

However, the main force of the Xiongnu they had been looking for was nowhere to be seen.

The Xiongnu, both in terms of population and national strength, are far inferior to any empire in the Central Plains.

The reason why the Xiongnu have dared to frequently invade the Central Plains Empire over the years, and the Central Plains Empire has always had a headache, is precisely here.

The Huns did not have a fixed city-state, and the Xiongnu cavalry came and went without a trace in the steppe.

If you don’t care about him, he will always intrude on you.

If you want to take care of him, he will hide in the depths of the steppe, and he will never fight you without the certainty of victory.

Since there is no city-state, you have no target for attack.

If you can’t find his main force, you can’t deal an effective blow, giving you a sense of powerlessness that you can’t make out of empty strength.

And the army of the Central Plains Empire, after coming to the grassland far from the city, logistical supplies became a heavy burden.

If it drags on too long and delays an effective blow to the Xiongnu, then the cost of the war will outweigh the benefits.

Even if the Huns were effectively damaged, the cost performance of such a war would be extremely low due to the lack of corresponding benefits such as cities, land, and population.

Simply put, this kind of battle is not worth fighting.

Therefore, the policies of the countries of the Central Plains towards the Xiongnu in recent years have often been defense-oriented, and they have rarely taken the initiative to attack.

But this time, the Xiongnu provoked the two empires of Daqin and Han at the same time. Two empires that have never been accustomed to it in the original history! Half a month passed quickly.

Bai Qi seized the opportunity to rush at night and destroyed two more Xiongnu cavalry wandering outside, killing more than 40,000 enemies.

And on the western front, there is still no movement on the side of Yingcher. Dahan, Chang’an City.

Weiyang Palace.

Emperor Wu of Han Liu Chezheng and Empress Dowager Lü were discussing the war in the north.

“This time to send troops, our army suffered a lot of losses, since the Xiongnu left and right sage kings have been destroyed, and the purpose of punishing the Xiongnu has also been achieved, according to the mourning family, it is time to withdraw the army.”

When Liu Che heard Lu’s words, he immediately spoke out against it: “Queen Mother!” The Huns will not die, do not beat them to beat, they will come again next year! ”

Lu’s face sank: “You don’t know that firewood and rice are expensive, but you know that this battle has only been half a month, how much grain and grass, how many weapons, how much money, and how many soldiers’ lives have been consumed?!” ”

“Besides, we have killed more than 200,000 enemies, which is enough to make the Xiongnu afraid.”

Liu Che glanced at Lu Shi helplessly: “Killing 200,000 enemies now will only ignite the hatred in their hearts!” In the coming year, they will be even more crazy to take revenge on us! ”

“What’s more, almost all of these more than 200,000 Huns were killed by the Qin people! The Huns are afraid, and they will only be afraid of Daqin, and they feel more and more that my big man is weak and bullying! ”

Hearing Liu Che’s words, a hesitation flashed in Lu’s eyes: “Then how long do you think this battle will be fought?” ”

Liu Che said with a firm gaze: “If the national strength is enough to support, the Xiongnu should be destroyed!” At least drive them far into the northern desert and never dare to come back.”

“Even if it can’t be done now, at least until the Huns surrender and submit.”

Liu Che said, becoming more and more excited: “My grand man, how can I let a group of nomadic pirates bully my head, and rely on Daqin’s iron horse to take revenge?!” ”

“Empress, I still insist that all the 100,000 cavalry in the country should be sent to the northern territory and fight the Xiongnu in blood!”

This is already Liu Che’s fifth proposal to increase troops to the front line in the past half a month.

Lu Shi, who firmly holds military power, is very sensitive to this and angrily rebuked: “Enough”

“Che’er, you are so bloodthirsty and warlike, when will the mourning family be able to rest assured that you can take care of the military affairs alone?!”

“Reflect on it.”

Saying that, Lu Shi brushed his sleeves away.

Liu Che looked at the back of Lu’s departure, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness. At this moment, Liu Che suddenly felt a little envious.

The two are about the same age, except for the surname, even the first name is the same.

But if the person wins the cher, he is only the prince, he can make various contributions to the Great Qin, and the suggestions made will be seriously considered even by winning the government.

Now he can personally lead the troops into battle to kill the enemy!

And looking at himself, on the other hand, he is obviously already an emperor, and his power is not even as good as winning a prince!

Constrained everywhere, full of ambition has nowhere to show!

Thinking of this, Liu Che shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: “Brother Che, you make me so envious.” ”

You know, in the original history, Liu Che, the emperor of Han Wu, was a ruthless man who used the strength of the whole country to defeat the Xiongnu.

Although his move caused the national strength of the Great Han to be seriously affected.

But it is precisely because of this that it has been exchanged for decades of stability in Dahan.

Endless steppe. The Xiongnu are alone in the royal tent.

“Report alone! The combined forces of Bai Qi and Dong Zhuo have been advancing north these days, and they are less than a hundred miles away from Wang Ting! ”

Xiongnu military minister Shan Yuzheng grabbed a large piece of roast mutton and chewed it, and asked nonchalantly: “What about the west?” ”

“Yingche, the prince of the Qin State in the west, has been stationed in the Gaoque Valley with 100,000 infantry, and occasionally you can see the figure of cavalry, but other than that, there is no other movement.”

Junchen Shan Yu nodded slightly: “Ying Che asked for more than 10,000 war horses from Dong Zhuo, and it seems that he wanted to hide in the valley and train a cavalry to come out.” ”

“Not to mention that he can’t practice in a short time, even if he does, it will be difficult for more than 10,000 cavalry to become a climate, don’t pay attention to him!”

The military minister said alone, quickly finished the mutton in his hand, threw the bones, and continued: “It’s really hard to deal with this white qi.” ”

Saying that, the military minister got up and glanced at the map spread on the ground.

After a moment, the military minister Shan Yu said: “Let the Yougu Gong royal army advance to the east of Baiqi and send a few small troops to feed them.” ”

“Wait for them to advance forty miles further north, and let the Right Valley Gong King send troops to attack their logistics supply lines!”

“At the same time, give orders to the remaining troops, so that they can lead their troops to the royal court to join me within a month.”

“This time, let’s teach these Qin and Han people a good lesson!”

That night.

Three poles on the moon. Daqin border, Anyang City.

Yingche had secretly come here and met Li Cunxiao and Huo Quying, who had been training here for seventeen days.

“Young master, fifteen thousand cavalry, have been trained and can be put into the battlefield county at any time!”

Yingche nodded and said in a deep voice, “Huo Quying, I want to give you a task.” ”

“I want you to take these 15,000 cavalry and detour from the desolate land in the west to the hinterland of the Xiongnu and destroy all the Xiongnu living forces that can be found!”

“No logistics, no reinforcements, go deep alone, dare you?”
