My Great Qin Cannot Die - Chapter 553
Meng Tian led the main army to the north, and kept pushing in the direction of the Xiongnu Longcheng. This time, Meng Tian did not hide anything.
He knew in his heart that he had to attract Touman’s attention and let the main force of the Huns approach, so as to create opportunities for Xiang Yu.
After all, Xiang Yu was only leading the partial division northward. Once the main force of the Huns was not dragged down by him, for Xiang Yu, the partial division meeting the main army, no matter how powerful it was, would be a devastating blow.
Once the partial division was destroyed by the main force of the Huns, the northern expedition this time was basically a failure, and even if he annihilated the main force of the Huns, he would not be able to accomplish the strategic goal set in the first place.
“General, our army scouts have made contact with the Department of Foreign Warfare. There is news from the Department of Foreign Warfare that the Xiongnu Shanyu Toutouman swore an oath at Langjuxu Mountain.”
“At this moment, the young soldiers from the major tribes of the Huns are assembling and heading towards our army.”
After a pause, Sima of the Chinese army moved towards Meng Tian and said, “At the same time, news came from Heixingtai that His Majesty led the army to defeat the King Zuo Xian, and our army will occupy the entire Hetao area.”
“Your Majesty Wansheng!”
Meng Tian bowed first, then turned towards Sima of the Central Army, and said, “Is there any news about Xiang Yu’s department, our army scouts, and the Department of Foreign Warfare?”
Although Meng Tian was excited about Ying Zheng’s victory in the war, as a general, he naturally knew that this battle had an impact on the Hetao area, but the impact was minimal.
The most important thing in this battle is that he and Xiang Yu’s subordinates, and even Xiang Yu, who is alone and overwhelmed by thousands of miles, plays a bigger role than his main force.
“Reporting to the Great General, there is news from the Department of Foreign Warfare that General Xiang Yu’s troops have already moved in the direction of Longcheng, and they are interspersed in a roundabout way.”
“Um!”
Hearing the news of the scout, a coldness appeared in Meng Tian’s eyes. He stared at the huge map in the shogunate, and gave a categorical order to Sima of the Central Army, saying.
“Actively expose our position, attract Touman’s attention, reduce the pressure on Xiang Yu’s side, and strive to allow Xiang Yu’s subordinates to intersperse safely.”
“No.”
Meng Tian has a lot of ideas, but he knows that everything is based on the victory of the war, and everything else will be meaningless.
Although Wang Jian was the commander-in-chief, Meng Tian knew in his heart that the army had advanced to this point, and he was the commander-in-chief of the army. In order to win the war, he had to create opportunities for Xiang Yu.
This is a must as a commander.
Almost at the same time, Ying Zheng, who was far away in Jiuyuan, also got the news. He and Wang Jian watched the military newspaper in the shogunate and kept silent. The war had started, and their orders were beyond their reach.
Regardless of success or failure, now everything is up to Meng Tian and Xiang Yu.
“Wu Chenghou, now Meng Tian has taken the initiative to reveal his position. I think it is to give Xiang Yu a chance. At this stage of the war, does Wu Chenghou think that this war leader will be fooled?”
Ying Zheng was sitting in the shogunate with a calm expression on his face, as if he didn’t care at all about this war that was about the fortune of the country, but Wang Jian knew that Ying Zheng cared more about the victory of this battle than anyone else.
After all, once the war is won, the name of Daqin will surely shake the world. Such a general trend is far from being comparable to Ying Zheng going to the battlefield in person.
Hearing this, Wang Jian drank the last sip of tea in the tea cup, then cleared his mind and said to Ying Zheng, “Your Majesty, Xiang Yu led the army to attack Longcheng. Impossible to notice.”
“What’s more, on the grasslands, the territory is vast, and my Daqin iron cavalry will inevitably come and go like the wind. With Xiang Yu’s character, this battle alone is thousands of miles away, and it will definitely be wiped out.”
“The possibility of exposure is extremely low!”
“The tribe of Zuo Xianwang has been defeated by His Majesty. In this way, Touman has no choice. At this time, Touman must be furious. Once Meng Tian exposes his position, Touman will inevitably attack.”
Speaking of which, Wang Jian frowned slightly, facing Ying Zheng, and said, “Your Majesty, the old minister is not so worried about Xiang Yu’s troops, but more worried about the main army led by Meng Tian.”
“Once the main force led by Meng Tian meets Touman, the old minister is not sure whether they will be able to win the battle.”
Wang Jian knew in his heart that the home of this war was in Mobei, the homeland of the Xiongnu.
And although Meng Tian and others had already obtained the map of the Department of Foreign Wars, it was the first time that they had made such a long drive and penetrated into the hinterland of the Xiongnu.
Because of this, Wang Jian was even more worried in his heart. After all, this time Touman came with a heavy anger, wanting to show off the power of the Xiongnu in a battle and avenge the loss of Hetao.
It must be done in one battle.
“My Daqin’s weapons and armor, and even the wars experienced by the soldiers of the army are far from comparable to those of the Xiongnu. This time Meng Tian and Li Xin went north, and I thought they would definitely win the battle.”
“In this battle, the advantage lies with me!”
Ying Zheng is extremely confident about the outcome of the war. He believes that the balance of victory must belong to Da Qin. All he cares about is whether Da Qin’s losses will be minimized after this battle.
The Northern Expedition and the Southern Expedition are the two most important wars in Daqin at present, and they are imminent wars that cannot be changed by the emperor.
Only when the Xiongnu and Baiyue stabilized ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Daqin could develop in a prosperous age, and some planning and deployment of the Daqin Empire in his mind could be implemented in an orderly manner.
Ying Zheng knows better than anyone that if he wants to develop himself, he needs the surrounding environment to fall into peace, forming a good environment for the development of Daqin.
After all, once the reform begins, some systems within the Great Qin Empire will inevitably be shaken. At that time, there will be no internal and external troubles, which will make the Great Qin Empire collapse.
All his deployments are for the development of the Great Qin Empire, so this time the Mobei War must not only be won, but also a hearty victory.
Only in this way can Da Qin be able to turn his horse’s head and go on a southern expedition after destroying the Xiongnu.
You must know that the Lingqu canal has been successfully built, all preparations for the southern expedition have been made, and everything is waiting for the dust to settle in the north.
Hearing Ying Zheng’s words, a look of solemnity appeared in Wang Jian’s eyes. He and Ying Zheng had been together for a while, so naturally he knew exactly what Ying Zheng had in mind.
It’s just that he thought that Ying Zheng’s arrangement was a little impatient. Now that Ying Zheng is in good health, he can take it step by step.
“Your Majesty, the Xiongnu’s national strength is not weak. Even if our army wins the battle, I am afraid that the losses will not be small. Moreover, the mountains and forests of Baiyue are high, which is not conducive to the cavalry attack.”
Wang Jian bowed his hands to Ying Zheng, his tone was rather solemn: “The old minister still thinks that after destroying the Xiongnu, Da Qin will recuperate for a few years, and then launch an army to annex Baiyue, so that Da Qin will have no more troubles.”
