Daqin: Take the bamboo shoots, Zulong eavesdropped on my heart!

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

Ying Zheng laughed and said, "There is no need to be so polite between Qing and Zhen, get up quickly."

"promise."

"Come on, get in the car."

"How dare the last general."

"Let you go up, come on."

"promise."

After Meng Tian heard this, he got up and got into the car.

It is a great honor to ride with the emperor.

"How's the northern border these past few months?"

Sitting in the carriage, Ying Zheng looked at Meng Tian and asked with a smile.

"My minister feels ashamed."

Meng Tian smiled wryly, "In the past few months, although we have driven out the Hun cavalry several times and beheaded some of them, the suffering of the Huns is really hard to get rid of. What I will do is to try to get rid of the enemies who will invade in the future."

"Hehe, I naturally know about your difficulties."

Ying Zheng listened with a smile, "The Huns are haunted on the grasslands, and they are indeed not as easy to deal with as they are in Henan."

That's right, when they were entrenched in the north of the Central Plains, Meng Tian led an army of 30 to expel them directly, and they could fight whatever they wanted.

but……

After they went deep into the grassland, because of the advantages of the cavalry, they could appear and disappear, raiding the east and harassing the west, and they always attacked with stragglers, which made the Great Qin's Great Wall guards more often exhausted.

Because the entire northern front is too long, and the 30 army simply cannot spread out.

The Great Wall was trapped by the large-scale invasion of the Huns cavalry, and it also trapped a lot of manpower and material resources in the Central Plains.

However, you have to keep it.

If you don't guard, the enemy's food will be even more unscrupulous.

Therefore, the death of the prairie wolf was one of the eternal dilemmas of the ancient Central Plains dynasty, and it was even wiped out by the prairie cavalry several times.

"The servant is still incompetent."

Meng Tian sighed after hearing this, and said with a wry smile, "I want to lead soldiers and horses deep into the grasslands and deserts to get rid of this disaster for Your Majesty, but I don't know how long it will take. Your Majesty is now employing people and food everywhere. Daqin wants to It may not be easy to conquer the Xiongnu in the north."

"Hehe, Meng Tian, ​​my beloved general."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng smiled, and patted Meng Tian on the shoulder, "It's you, who can always think about my sake instead of thinking about bullshit fame."

"Your Majesty praises it, and my ministers are terrified."

"However, don't worry too much..."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I have found a good prescription, and within five years, I will definitely make Great Qin never suffer from the Xiongnu."

what?

After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Meng Tian's expression changed immediately.

In less than five years, the Great Qin will never suffer from the Huns?

Your Majesty is joking, right?

Or is there some self-righteous force who gave His Majesty some bad ideas?

Does he know how to fight?

Huns, where is it so easy to fight?

Chapter 354 Meng Tian Was Shocked!Could this be the boy's idea?

If the Xiongnu were really easy to fight, would they still have to wait until today?

Meng Tian murmured in his heart, he didn't know what the idea was, how much would it cost?What are the consequences?

Who was the one who came up with the idea?

Has he thought about all this?

"His Majesty……"

Meng Tian had no choice but to look at Ying Zheng, and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, dare you, who came up with a good plan for Your Majesty?"

"Heh, do you still remember that Feng Zheng who met once in Xianyang Palace?"

Ying Zheng laughed when he heard this, and said lightly.

what?

Feng Zheng?

Meng Tian was taken aback for a moment, thought carefully, and finally thought of it.

That boy?

He doesn't seem very old, does he?

His majesty would listen to his idea?

Meng Tian's heart beat suddenly, and he had a lot of doubts.

It is impossible for His Majesty to be such a person who does not know the pros and cons of right and wrong, let alone listen to the random words of a young man without thinking.

in this case……

It must be the idea, something special?

"I don't know what idea Feng Zheng suggested to His Majesty?"

Meng Tian cautiously asked, "Can I know a thing or two?"

"Hehe, I came here to tell you personally."

Ying Zheng smiled, and then said with a smile, "His idea is different from any of my previous battles in Daqin. He also said that he would go north to the desert grassland and take the initiative to fight the Huns."

What?

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Meng Tian was dumbfounded.

Why is it still going north to the desert and grassland to take the initiative to fight the Huns?

It's not that different from my idea, is it?

As long as the food consumption is guaranteed to be sufficient, coupled with a large number of troops, it is indeed possible to fight a fierce battle with the Huns, or even engage in a long tug-of-war to severely consume them.

As long as Daqin has enough national power to guarantee it, the Huns are naturally no problem.

Of course, this consumption must be huge.

Meng Tian himself does not dare to afford it, unless he is truly sure enough, he will never dare to carry it out lightly.

War is never just a battle on the front line.

"Your Majesty, how much manpower and food will he consume?"

Meng Tian immediately asked, "It's a good time to go north to take the initiative to fight the Xiongnu, and it's different from the Central Plains."

"Hehe, it's true that you have the same idea."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I have thought about this before, but I haven't thought through it as thoroughly as this kid."

hiss?

After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Meng Tian was shocked, not only surprised.

Your Majesty said that Feng Zheng has not thought through it yet?

"This kid, the first thing he thinks of is not to instigate hundreds of thousands of troops to go deep into the desert."

Ying Zheng laughed and said, "He was thinking of maneuvering against cavalry, cavalry against cavalry, and now they are harassing us all the time, if we take the initiative to harass them instead, it will naturally leave them no time to look south.

In this way, a lot of food and grass and a lot of manpower can be saved first. "

Huh?

Instead, harass them with cavalry?

After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Meng Tian's eyes lit up.

This method is indeed good, and it does have some ingenuity.

Such a method of combat is indeed very different from his own thinking.

According to Meng Tian's original intention, he wanted hundreds of thousands of troops to go out of the Great Wall together, to sweep across the grasslands overwhelmingly, to find the main force of the Xiongnu and fight fiercely with them, and then wipe out the suffering of the Xiongnu forever.

Therefore, his method will naturally consume a lot of money, and it cannot be easily realized.

However, if according to Feng Zheng's idea, only cavalry is sent to fight the consumption, the cost will naturally be greatly reduced.

but……

Immediately, Meng Tian had new doubts and worries in his heart.

That is……

The grassland is the home of the Huns, their cavalry is more accomplished, and they are more familiar with the environment.

It is certainly good for Daqin to send cavalry to harass the Huns.

but……

What about the security of the cavalry itself?

How can food and grass be guaranteed without a large army pressing down on the border?

If the distance is too long, then the cavalry will encounter endless crises.

When the time comes, the enemy cuts off your supply, or simply entangles you so that you cannot retreat completely, and you will not be able to withdraw, and in the end, you will lose everything in the process of consumption.

After all, the Huns are more familiar with the grassland than you, and their cavalry, both in itself and in tactics, are better at it.

You are using your own weaknesses against the enemy's strengths, so if you consume it, it will not be that simple.

Unless, you treat this team of cavalry as dead soldiers, let them choose to die with the enemy, and there will be no return.

This kind of tactics is too cruel, but war itself is cruel. If the cost is not particularly high, and it can bring peace to the Central Plains, you can give it a try.

A lot of doubts flashed in Meng Tian's eyes, and he thought, Feng Zheng must have meant this, right?

"Your Majesty, then, this Feng Zheng mentioned, how dangerous is it for cavalry to go deep into the desert grassland?"

Looking at Ying Zheng, Meng Tian asked cautiously.

"Well, he said it."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "He said that when the cavalry went deep into the grassland, they entered the home field of the Huns. Therefore, we must find a way to solve the worries of the cavalry."

"exactly."

Meng Tian nodded immediately after hearing this, "Weichen thinks so too, but his solution is..."

"Ha ha……"

Ying Zheng smiled and said lightly, "His solution is to also send an army to escort the grain and grass northward, but instead of looking for the Huns cavalry all over the sky, it is only responsible for setting up camp and protecting the grain and grass.

At the same time, a few more surprise soldiers were sent to search for the Xiongnu tribe back and forth, and after they were found, they entangled them on the spot.

The tribes of the Huns mostly had women, children and livestock.As long as they are disturbed, the combat power of the Huns will naturally be greatly reduced.

In this way, we don't need to take the initiative to fight with the Huns cavalry, they will naturally fight with us. "

Huh?

After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Meng Tian was surprised.

The Huns' women, children and livestock are really the lifeblood of the Huns.

Because they can't afford it!

And Meng Tian himself really wants to find their women, children and livestock, but unfortunately, the grassland is too big, starting from within the Great Wall, it is really difficult to search aimlessly.

But if the army and food and grass are sent to the north and stationed on the spot, it can really save a lot of time and at the same time bring great protection to the cavalry.
