Emperor Qin

Qin Huang has never been a person who hurts spring and autumn.

After all, this assassination was not as embarrassing as when Jing Ke was surrounded by Xianyang officials, so Emperor Qin recovered quickly.

He devoted himself to the expedition to Yuezhi, paralyzing himself with work.

But there was a sequela.

He no longer likes to listen to Zhule.

After Yan Jiang found out about this, he almost suffered from internal injuries, but at that time he still combed Ah Zheng's hair and put in the jade crown, and praised his hair for being so good. How to lose hair?

However, Ah Zheng, who has not experienced future generations, can't get this joke. Instead, he thinks that A Jiang is laughing at his hair being smashed, and puts A Jiang on the table in displeasure for a long time before giving up.

Gao Jianli's body was hung on the city wall to intimidate everyone, Yan Jiang couldn't persuade him about this, so he just ignored it.

At that time, he gave Gao Jianli a happy time, and he was helping him.

In the 19th year of Qin Huangzheng, Qin Huang raised his army, appointed Li Xin as a general, raised [-] troops, and went west to Longxi to conquer the Yuezhi.

……

Of course Yan Jiang would take Emperor Qin to watch such a grand event.

Li Xinzao, who is already 27 now, now has a resolute face and has been weather-beaten.

Longxi was originally his hometown, and this was also the reason why Emperor Qin ordered him to go to war—when Wang Jian was old and Wang Ben had no rewards for his achievements, Li Xin and Meng Tian were already the default leaders of the next generation of Qin's military.

The [-] soldiers and horses this time had one major difference from the previous ones. They were all the most elite frontier cavalry. For this reason, Emperor Qin even mobilized the northern cavalry to defend the Huns into Longxi.

More than that, in order for war horses to maintain their combat effectiveness, they must be fed with fine grains, so one person must be equipped with three horses, one horse for another ride, and one horse for food. These 5 cavalry cost a lot, even more than a 20 infantry. Pawn army.

There is no way to attack Hexi, and war horses are a hurdle that cannot be bypassed no matter what. On the prairie, infantry is just a burden, but will be dragged down by the long supply line. To fight the Xiongnu, one must lure the enemy deep like Li Mu did, and use static control Move, or you have to spell a fast word!

As early as King Qin Zhao, the Qin people often waged wars against the Qiang people in Hexi. Rising tribe.

Li Xin knew this very well. Wang Jian's style of fighting for food could never be played on the grassland. Even if Qin's national strength won a game or two, he would be dragged into the quagmire of the grassland, unable to extricate himself.

And after he assembled soldiers and horses in Longxi, Yuezhi had already received the news, and he was ready to fight!

The long and narrow terrain of the Hexi Corridor will eventually drag out a long battle line, and the supply line is very fragile, so after reading the blueprint Yan Jiang gave him, Li Xin thought for a long time and came up with a bold plan.

He has always been a man who likes to play tricks. Back then, he ran thousands of miles to attack Yan, but now he can't do it step by step.

His plan was so bold that both His Majesty and Yan Jiang gasped.

……

The Hexi Corridor is more than 10 miles long. To the south is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is difficult for birds to cross. To the north is the place called "Alxa" Plateau in later generations. The terrain here is very low, and there are three warm deserts. These deserts Hundreds of large and small oases are irrigated by the dissolved water of Qilian Mountains—but don’t think that people can leave here. This is the birthplace of the largest sandstorm in the East. It has to be buried in the ground.

Sitting on the side, Li Xin watched Zhang Cang's disciples and Yan's students recruited from Xianyang Academy carefully calculate their current positions.

Yan Jiang checked their answers and found that they were not far from what he had calculated, so he praised them.

Li Xin also breathed a sigh of relief.

The grassland is not a good place. There are countless snakes, insects, rats and ants on the seemingly peaceful grassland. Some insects can even penetrate into the flesh and kill people. They have come all the way, and there are many people who are not acclimatized.

And Li Xin's plan was to go through this uninhabited land with no signposts for more than [-] miles, go around to the western entrance of the Hexi Corridor, attack the rear of Yuezhi, and fight back to Longxi from west to east.

The most critical thing to do this is not to get lost. If it wasn't for Yan Zi's celestial positioning technique that he had personally experienced, although he would do the same, the pressure and risk would definitely be doubled.

Yan Jiang was very embarrassed, once Li Xin's plan came out, he had to cross the desert with the army, go to the Wusun Kingdom, and then go to fight the Yuezhi King, these are all debts!You have to stay away.

His Majesty was leisurely eating the jerky fed by A Jiang, tilting his head to enjoy A Jiang's touch.

The grasslands have their own laws, they always obey the strong, the tribe worships the big tribe, and contributes when the big tribe goes out to fight. As long as the Yuezhi is defeated, the small countries in the Western Regions only need to intimidate them, and they will surrender themselves. He even thought about it Do you want to form a Hu Bing, go on an expedition to the west, and pinch off the soft persimmons by the Amu Darya River one by one.

If it goes well, maybe ten years later, Daxia will be destroyed, and the person who hurt him back then will be destroyed for A Jiang...

Li Xin's plan went smoothly. After more than a month of hard work, Li Xin's army finally walked out of the passionate desert, went south smoothly, and entered the Jinquan River area in Hexi. This is Jiuquan City in later generations. Yan Jiang will remember it so clearly It's because he spent a whole summer vacation here in later generations, but it's a pity that he can't see the Crescent Moon Spring in Mogao Grottoes and the satellite launch center now.

After arriving at the destination, Li Youcheng smiled.

Yan Jiang sighed softly and did not speak.

After a day of recuperation, Li Xin was full of confidence and marched towards the east at the fastest speed.

He was familiar with military horses, and the narrow and long terrain of the Hexi Corridor allowed the Yuezhi tribe to go straight, with no room to hide.

Yan Jiang couldn't bear to follow behind the army, sighing softly about the suffering of the people and the suffering of the people.

I got His Majesty's indifferent 180-degree turn of the eye.

There was basically no suspense in this battle at the moment when Li Xin successfully detoured.

The Qin army is well-equipped, with horses, armor, and fine ironware, but the Yuezhi has very few bronze arrows, and even has a large number of wild animal teeth as arrows. This pair of Qin army's armor cannot be broken at all.

More importantly, in this battle, compared to the chaotic charge of the Yue clan, the elite army of the Central Plains showed great power. In the distance, a strong bow first shot, and when they approached suddenly, it was a thrust of a spear, and the coordination was precise. The momentum was terrifying, and many small tribes were even caught by the power of the army, running fast.

Li Xin's tens of thousands of troops, like wolves and tigers, went east to the Yuezhi royal court. The unsuspecting Yuezhi royal family was captured in one fell swoop, and hundreds of Yuezhi nobles were also captured. They killed thousands of enemies and got cattle and horses. Countless, but they didn't stop after counting their achievements, and continued eastward, heading straight for the main force of the Yuezhi.

The [-] Yuezhi army and Li Xin had never expected that Li Xin would come out of his backyard. They were scattered like birds and beasts by the Qin army's formation, and they all went north to hide in the Helan Mountains. At this time, the Longxi army that had been prepared for a long time had been waiting for a long time.

The Xiongnu didn't even have time to send troops to help, and all the land of the Yuezhi fell into Qin's hands.

However, the Qin Dynasty methodically incorporated the people of the Yue clan into the household registration of the state of Qin, set up prefectures and counties in the land of the Yue clan, and built cities, while a large number of criminals were exiled from Longxi to the west again to Saibei.

As for the Yuezhi tribe—their remaining population had been cleared up overnight, and they went west beyond the Great Wall to drive away the Wusun people and occupy the land of Wusun.

The law of the grassland is like this, whoever loses will go, and the Ju clan will be the slaves of the winner if they don't go. Qin has always done this.

Although the Xiongnu coveted the pastures of the Yuezhi tribe, they were very obedient after seeing that the Yuezhi, who was equal to their own strength, had been wiped out within a few months. Not a single tribe came south to plunder throughout the year.

Qin Huang efficiently sent people to Hexi. He distributed the pastures to the tribes of the former Yiqu Rong under the Qin State, divided their spheres of influence, and built several horse farms to supply the imperial army horses. He also followed A Jiang's suggestion, A new pass named Wuwei was built at the place where Wushaoling guarded the throat of Hexi, and it cooperated with Longxi to guard against the north.

With his military exploits achieved suddenly, Emperor Qin's arrogance soared. Looking at the world map he had snatched from A Jiang that year, he prepared to start stockpiling food and horses, and then raised 30 troops to wipe out the Xiongnu in one fell swoop, taking advantage of the might of the Qin army.

However, he was beaten by reality again.

Just when the Emperor Qin was immersed in the joy of beating the Yue clan to divide the cattle and horses, another severe drought hit the six eastern countries, and starvation was everywhere. Among the 36 counties in the world, drought broke out in as many as [-] counties.

The author has something to say: In 19 years, the mother of the first emperor, the empress dowager, collapsed... The great hunger among the people——"The Chronicle of Qin Shihuang"

PS: When I looked through the information, I found that during the ten years when King Qin unified the six countries in history, there was one heavy snowstorm, one cold wave, five famines, and two major earthquakes. , not once.
