When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 683 March into Danhan Mountain!
Xiahou Ying didn't mention it, but Su Jiao still caught a glimpse of the unsatisfied look on his face, and it was obvious that he still had some plans to discuss.

But Xiahou Ying did not mention it, and the risks are self-evident.

Obviously this is a more risky option than the worst option, and Su Jiao doesn't want to take the risk.

He did not expect to become a famous general in the eyes of the world, as long as he could be called a "good general".

Therefore, if Xiahou Ying didn't mention it, he wouldn't ask.

But he still needs to think about these three strategies again.

"Let's discuss it."

Su Jiao hesitated for a moment, and in his heart he was more inclined to Xiahou Ying's best strategy, but he did not express his opinion so as not to affect everyone's decision.

Seeing everyone's hesitation, Lieutenant General Zhao Ben spoke first, "The worst plan is too risky. The best plan is safer, but it still involves the risk of failing to complete the mission. The middle plan is very safe. As long as we speed up our march, it shouldn't be difficult to find the Donghu vanguard."

Zhao Ben was a branch of the Qin royal family, but he was a descendant of Ying Qian, the son of Qin Xian Gong. He was out of the fifth degree of mourning and could no longer use Ying as his surname, so he had to use Zhao instead.

However, although they were out of the five mourning periods, whether they were joining the army or becoming officials, soldiers and clerks naturally had no one to examine them. But before becoming a middle-level officer such as lieutenant general, officials had already investigated their place of origin and background. As a descendant of the Ying Qian lineage, they were naturally given priority during recruitment and promotion.

But also because of this background, for Zhao Ben, as long as he accumulates experience, he can be promoted faster than ordinary comrades.

To put it bluntly, he has good farmland and a good family background, and he can get promoted easily, so he is naturally unwilling to take risks. Therefore, Zhao Ben has always strived for safety.

Su Jiao glanced at Zhao Ben and said nothing.

In fact, he really disliked Zhao Ben's personality.

People with this kind of personality are actually not suitable for joining a scout camp, let alone the army.

As the eyes and ears of the army, how can you strive to be safe in everything?
But even though Zhao Ben was five generations away from the royal family, he was still a member of the imperial branch and had connections in his family.

It seems that the primary mission of the Yulin Cavalry is to protect the King of Qin. Ability is secondary, and loyalty is the most important.

As many people in later generations said, what would happen if the sword-wielding guards around the Qing Dynasty emperor tried to assassinate the emperor?
This one is the emperor's second distant uncle, that one is the emperor's second distant brother, and another one is the emperor's second distant uncle's second uncle, and the one over there is the empress's second brother. What do you think would make them crazy enough to assassinate the emperor?

In the final analysis, as long as you are loyal, you will definitely be able to develop abilities by working hard.

Since Zhao Ben had a good family background, he was naturally given priority for admission to the Yulin Army. He was able to join the Yulin Cavalry by using some connections from his family.

Moreover, Zhao Ben had always had good luck. He was braver than anyone else in a battle when the wind was in his favor, and the Yulin Army had almost never fought a battle against the wind. As a result, Zhao Ben's military rank was promoted again and again to the position of Lieutenant General.

Su Jiao immediately looked at the two people sitting at the last seat. One was wearing khaki clothes, and the other was wearing dark purple clothes. Their hair was slightly red, and they both wore a string of seven-star grass beads on their chests.

Those are two special visiting players.

Su Jiao didn't spend a long time with these two men, but based on the rumored behavior of the brothers, he thought they would make a decision that suits his wishes.

"Jiao Suwen asked about the rumor that 'there is no two suns in the sky, and there are fierce tigers in the fields'. Master Lieshan and Master Chiyou, what do you think?"

As Su Jiao finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on the burly pair of Tian brothers.

"General, you are too polite. Since we are in the army, please just call my two brothers by their first names."

"Yeah, yeah, me too." Different from Tian Meng's calmness and humility, Tian Hu was carefree. Even his collar was wide open for fighting. Worried that the Seven-Star Pearl Grass would get in the way, he asked his followers to sew it on his collar. However, his carefree character was very popular in the army.

As relatives of the Qi State's side branch, the Tian brothers, on the one hand, represented Qi, Qin's ally, to support Qin State; on the other hand, they represented the farmers to support Qin State in expanding its territory and fighting against the grassland wolves. So the two brothers asked for the status of guest generals in the army.

"I am a guest general, and I am not as experienced as you comrades. But since General Su has given the order, I will tell you everything I know."

"Meng believes that General Xiahou's best strategy is the real best strategy!"

"And no matter what choice we make, we should set off quickly. Perhaps while we hesitate, the opportunity will be gone."

Tian Meng did not express too many opinions, but only expressed his support for Xiahou Ying's best strategy. He did not explain the reason, but just believed that no matter what choice was made at this moment, they should advance immediately and not miss the opportunity to fight.

To be honest, Su Jiao didn't quite understand what Tian Meng meant. His words were incoherent, but Tian Meng also had a lot of unspeakable secrets.

As Tian Meng, who was regarded by Tian Guang as the next chivalrous leader of the Nong family, he naturally knew many secrets that outsiders did not know, such as the conspiracy between the chivalrous leader Tian Guang and Prince Dan of Yan to resist Qin.

For example, the migration of the grassland wolf tribe to the south was the work of Tian Guang.

Is it hard to guess who is behind this?

If Su Jiao chose the middle strategy and went south to buy drinking water and food from Yan State, he would not only fail to buy them, but would also be ambushed by the border troops stationed in the northern border of Yan State by Yan Dan, and eventually be annihilated from both sides.

Therefore, Tian Meng could not explain the reason clearly. Under the premise that the worst plan was too risky, he could only suggest that the best plan was more appropriate, but he could not explain why the best plan was more appropriate than the middle plan.

Tian Hu, who knew nothing, had a unique military sense.

"It's summer now, and even on the grasslands the sun is scorching hot, and the heat is unbearable."

"I've never been to the grassland before, so I don't know how the Donghu nobles escape the heat, but they should find a cool place to build a house to escape the heat, just like the wealthy nobles in Linzi City, right?"

"I think as long as we head to a place with abundant grass and shade, we will definitely be able to capture the Donghu nobles!"

Suddenly, everyone in the tent was surprised by Tian Hu's words. There was no reason why the nobles in the Central Plains would escape the summer heat while the nobles in the Donghu would foolishly go out to bask in the sun?
"Brother Tian Hu is a man of great insight. His remarks are very insightful! Great!"

Su Jiao clapped his hands and laughed, then stopped asking for other people's opinions.

In other words, except Zhao Ben, everyone had no objection.

The probability of capturing the Donghu nobles has greatly increased, the benefits have increased, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so naturally everyone will no longer hesitate.

And coincidentally, according to the intelligence from the Yu army scout camp, there happened to be a green mountain eighty miles away with lush vegetation on it. There were some Donghu people on it, but not many.

For fear of alerting the enemy, the scout camp did not get close to investigate. They only knew that there were not many people in the Donghu camp. Now thinking about it... ha!

"Brother Tian Hu, if we win this battle, you will be credited with a great achievement!"

"Order to break camp. Advance immediately!"

What Su Jiao didn't know was that the target he was targeting would become a holy place in the hearts of the Xianbei and Khitan in later generations.

This mountain is called Danhan Mountain!
