Daqin Engineering Corps

Xun Xun really wanted to choose the former, because at this time the Xiongnu still had [-] soldiers in Gushi, and the Qin army only had more than [-] even if they added the new reinforcements who rushed to Loulan... Shen Bing's troops only had more than [-] people, and Wang Yu's reinforcements It was said to be [-], but in the fierce battle with the Huns, there were actually only [-] left.

So the Qin army actually only had more than [-] people.

Obviously, the Huns still have an absolute advantage in military strength.

Even Xun Xun made a plan of attack, saying to Ge Yu:

"Qin's troops in Jiaohe are the weakest, with only [-] troops and no firearms."

"We can seize Jiaohe first and then surround Thrall."

"In this way, not only can we solve our army's water and grass needs, but it can also defeat the Qin army's spirit!"

Ge Yu objected:

"This subordinate was once stationed at Jiaohe."

"This is where the two rivers meet, and the Qin army's city was built at the intersection."

"Not to mention that there are traps around the city wall that are not conducive to the entry and exit of cavalry, but the winding rivers make our army easily surrounded."

"At that time, how should our army attack Jiaohe?"

"Dismount and attack the Qin army's stronghold?"

Such a question stopped Xun Xun.

Attacking the city is a big problem for the Xiongnu, especially the city where the Qin army is stationed... This is not a simple question of the comparison of troops, but a question of when the Qin army will finish shooting the crossbow arrows.

Moreover, the Qin army's fortress in Jiaohe was indeed built at the confluence of the two rivers, as Ge Yu said.

In this way, there are two rivers that are actually used by the Qin army for the moat... The Qin army is very good at choosing sites to build villages.

At that time, if the Xiongnu did not want to cross the river to attack the stronghold, they could only attack the stronghold from one direction. Even if thousands of troops had an absolute advantage in strength, so what?The troops could not be deployed at all.

After thinking about it, Xun Yun let out a long sigh and said:

"Jiaohe is like this, and Thrall is probably about the same."

"Is it possible that I can only withdraw the troops after waiting?"

Xun Xun was right, the situation of attacking Thrall was not much better.

In fact, it may be easier to attack Jiaohe, because Jiaohe is a river, where three rivers meet, and the Qin army could not control the river, so the Huns cavalry did not have to worry about water sources when fighting in Jiaohe.

But Saar is a lake, and the city built by the Qin army encloses the water source.

This means that if the Huns attack Saar, they must not only bring equipment and arrows, but also bring drinking water and fodder for horses.

In this way, the Huns were afraid that they would be defeated by supplies after only a few days of attack.

Ge Yu thought for a while, then said:

"In the opinion of my subordinates, our army may not have to withdraw only!"

As Ge Yu said this, he whispered something in Xun Xun's ear like this, Xun Xun nodded repeatedly when he heard it, and then a happy expression appeared on his face.

On this day, Shen Bing was chatting with Dao Minjun over wine in the tent.

This Dao Minjun is the younger brother of Gu Shi Wang, he can be said to be the least powerful of all the forces... The reason is that he has always been tabooed by Gu Shi Wang, although he is a relative of the emperor, he is only used as a messenger. It is so shabby that there are only five personal guards and a carriage.

This is normal, the status of the younger brother is quite special, because it may threaten the status of Gushiwang, so all countries will be hidden or even find a chance to wipe out the roots.

For example, when Hu Hai came to power, he killed all his brothers and sisters.

However, because Lord Daomin often travels to various countries, he has some political and eloquent skills, so he naturally became the representative of the nobles and Shen Bing in negotiations.

Shen Bing even heard that this Taoist gentleman has been learning the language, characters and etiquette of the Central Plains from Jing in private...

This is rare.

But this seems to be normal. If the envoys of various countries are not proficient in the languages ​​and characters of each country, it is impossible to talk about this mission.

Lord Daomin raised his glass to salute Shen Bing from afar, saying:

"For the Qin army to expel the Xiongnu and restore the country for my aunt, I would like to offer a cup to the general!"

But it is the authentic etiquette of the Central Plains.

While returning the salute, Shen Bing secretly thought that this guy is a quick learner, he seems to be a smart person.

Then Lord Daomin asked:

"It is said that the great general has accepted the five parties' request to restore the country. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Shen Bing pretended to be confused with understanding:

"Do you have five parties? Shen Bing just found out, and I also said that you are the rest of the aunt!"

Dao Minjun smiled and replied:

"I know that the general is a sensible person, and I also know that my aunt is not qualified to negotiate terms with the general."

"I just want to know, if I want to give up the competition and try my best to assist Xiang Shanjun, will I be able to get the approval of the general?"

Xiang Shanjun is the third son of Gu Shiwang. Although he is only 16 years old, he has been fond of hunting since he was a child and has been trained in riding and shooting.

As soon as Shen Bing heard Lord Daomin's words, he understood Lord Daomin's plan.

He obviously saw through Shen Bing's thoughts, and he didn't want his aunt to be torn apart. At the same time, he also knew that the life and death of them all depended on Shen Bing's thoughts, so he simply asked this question on the table instead of sneaking do.

Because not only is there no possibility of success if they do it secretly, they may even lose their lives when Shen Bing is angry, let alone restore the country.

But if it is put on the table and directly ask Shen Bing for his opinion... Shen Bing will do it if he is willing, and if he is not willing, he will split if he wants to split, and it will not kill his life.

From this, it can be seen that this civil monarch does have some means.

Shen Bing just pondered for a moment, then replied:

"Mr. Daomin, have you heard of Daqin before?"

Lord Daomin cupped his hands and replied:

"I have heard it a few times when I was an envoy to Yuezhi!"

Shen Bing let out an "oh" and said:

"Shen Bing would like to know, what kind of state of Qin does Lord Daomin know?"

Lord Daomin cupped his hands and replied:

"I don't know much, I only know that most of the people in Qin State make a living from farming, and the national strength is similar to that of the Yue family."

"I also know that there are seven other countries in the Central Plains and Qin..."

Shen Bing smiled.

It's normal for Daomin-jun to say that.

Because the Qin State that Yuezhi knew was not the current Qin State... The Qin State in Yuezhi's impression was still the peaceful Qin State among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

What's more, Yueshi and Gushi are still separated by a thousand miles of desert, and the information is seriously lagging behind. How did Mr. Daomin know that the Qin State at this time has unified the Central Plains and became the only big country in the Central Plains.

Daomin Lord saw that the expression on Shen Bing's face was different, so he asked:

"I don't know if what I said is true or not?"

There is no need for Shen Bing to answer these words, as the interpreter Jiang explained:

"Master Daomin does not know that Qin has defeated and merged the other six countries, and has unified the Central Plains!"

Chapter 434 Restoration

Dao Minjun's face changed slightly, and he immediately knew what the concept was.

If a Qin country can be as powerful as the Yuezhi, then after unifying the Central Plains, it means that it will be the size of the Qi Yuezhi.

You must know that the Yuezhi is the most terrifying force in the Western Regions other than the Xiongnu.

This is true, because the Yue clan has 8 soldiers casually, and Kucha, the largest country in the Western Regions with a population of [-], barely has [-] soldiers.

Moreover, as soon as the Yuezhi retreated, Wusun, a great country in the Western Regions, was defeated and moved to Central Asia.

Therefore, the Qin army defeated the allied forces of the Yuezhi and the Huns with [-] troops and occupied the sandbar. This incident caused quite a stir in the Western Regions.

However, many people think that this was due to an accident, and the Huns were not directly involved in the whole process.

Therefore, countries in the Western Regions still think that the Xiongnu is the strongest in the world, and Dao Minjun is no exception.

But now hearing that the Qin State has actually annihilated the six kingdoms and unified the Central Plains, that size... I'm afraid it is not comparable to the Huns.

After a while, Dao Minjun nodded slightly and said:

"I understand!"

Then Lord Daomin raised his glass again and said:

"I offer a toast to the general!"

Then he never mentioned the matter of assisting Xiang Shanjun.

After Mr. Daomin left, Ji asked curiously:

"General, what did Mr. Daoming understand?"

"Why did he suddenly..."

Shen Bing replied:

"He understands that Gu Shi is not worth mentioning in front of Da Qin, that's enough!"

Ji suddenly realized, then nodded, and sighed:

"Subordinates don't understand that Pu Lei is not worth mentioning in front of Da Qin!"

There was some helplessness in Jiang's tone.

Although it was the right choice to lead Pu Lei to surrender to Daqin, it is inevitable that there is still some melancholy.

Shen Bing patted Jiang on the shoulder and said:

"Da Qin will not fail Pu Lei!"

Realizing his gaffe, Jiang hurriedly cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you General."

"The subordinates are just expressing their feelings, not out of unwillingness, the general learned from it!"

Shen Bing confessed:

"Don't be so careful between you and me."

"If there are outsiders around, don't say these words!"

Jiang hurriedly cupped his hands and said:

"The subordinates will remember it in their hearts!"

At this time, a spy entered the account to report:

"General, the Huns have withdrawn!"

Shen Bing was a little surprised:

"Withdraw?"

Shen Bing thought that the Huns could persist for a while.

But it seems that there is no difference, because the result of persisting for a period of time is still the same, so it is not surprising to withdraw troops earlier.

After the news spread, the barracks erupted in cheers.

Among them, those aunts and nobles are especially excited, because it means that they have successfully restored their country.

But the nobles were also concerned about another issue, so they gathered in front of Shen Bing after a while.

Because of the language barrier, of course Dao Minjun asked:

"General, do you have any news about Gu Shiwang?"

Shen Bing turned his gaze to the spy.

The spy replied:
