I switched allegiance to Zhang Han and rebuilt the Qin Dynasty; Liu Bang was heartbroken.

The importance of the Hexi Corridor to the Qin Dynasty is self-evident.

Emperor Wu of Han said that the route of the Great Han would begin at Zhangye and continue westward.

This passage connecting the Central Plains dynasties and the Western Regions was a lifeline!

It was this passage that transformed the Western Regions into a jewel of the Central Plains dynasties.

Zhao Long did not intend to deal with the Yuezhi people so soon.

The Yuezhi were not weak. The Xiongnu defeated them after several large-scale battles and took several decades to gradually take over all of the Yuezhi's territory.

Their cavalry swept across the passage.

At present, the people of Qin who went to the Western Regions, including the soldiers led by Wu Rui, mainly took the southern route discovered by the Qiang and Rong people, and only passed through the sphere of influence of the Yuezhi people in a few places.

The Qin Dynasty's objective was to first expand into the Western Regions.

After we deal with the Xiongnu, we'll have time to slowly repair this passage.

However, if the Yuezhi dared to attack the Qin Dynasty...

The Qin Dynasty never feared war!

……

"kill--"

In the northern part of Dai County lies a vast grassland region where countless fierce Qin warriors have just finished annihilating the enemy!

Han Xin, expressionless, ordered his soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

"Lord Bei, this battle is a great victory! Haha!"

"After killing Modu, the Qin army used the remnants of the Donghu army as the vanguard to invade the grasslands, disrupting the Xiongnu tribes in the northern parts of Dai County and Shanggu County. The Qin army then outflanked and annihilated the various Xiongnu tribes!"

"This battle resulted in the beheading of ten thousand enemy soldiers and forced the Xiongnu to retreat two hundred li!"

"Great Qin will be victorious!"

Chai Wu's excited voice echoed around Han Xin, whose stern and unsmiling eyes remained incredibly cold and sharp!

"Let the soldiers rest for ten days, and before winter, we will charge into the grasslands again to meet with Zhuge Liang and support his southward advance!"

The Xiongnu must pay the price for their crimes!

Defeating the Xiongnu who swept across the Dai region was not enough!

A relentless pursuit, lasting until death!

This battle will set back the strength of the Xiongnu by at least thirty years, to the point where they can be bullied by surrounding tribes at will.

The upcoming winter presents a good opportunity.

Once inside the grasslands, burn down the Xiongnu's supplies. The Xiongnu will have a very difficult winter after their defeat!

"Yes, Marquis Bei."

Chai Wu took a breath, his eyes shining brightly.

This is the best of times. This group of people will achieve great success and be remembered for eternity in the northern frontier!

Even if it's a bit ruthless, I don't care anymore.

Exterminate these ferocious and tyrannical Xiongnu people for the sake of Qin's future peace!

When the soldiers are resting.

In November, Han Xin received a message from Chang'an. His expression changed slightly, and he immediately summoned his ministers.

The Qin generals, who had won consecutive victories and swept away more than 100,000 Xiongnu people, gathered together, but they never expected to feel the extremely cold aura emanating from Han Xin!

"Lord Bei, what has happened? Have those Xiongnu people in the north, still harboring their treacherous intentions, started a large-scale invasion southward?"

"Why don't I lead 10,000 cavalry and infantry to those Xiongnu people north of Shanggu, and watch me slaughter them in a rout?"

Wang Ling immediately spoke, his eyes filled with longing for the great battle!

A great victory in northern Xinjiang!

Since the start of the war, the number of Xiongnu killed, captured, or missing in this battle alone has exceeded 110,000.

This is an army of 110,000 men, all cavalry!

They fought a remarkably brilliant victory under the pressure of more than 300,000 Xiongnu troops pressing in!

Even the Great Wall Legion had never killed so many enemies in a single large-scale battle.

The last time such a glorious victory was during the time of Li Mu, when Zhao's cavalry and infantry, numbering over 200,000, decisively defeated 100,000 Xiongnu in a single battle!

After that, the once arrogant Xiongnu were defeated and forced to flee in terror, until the appearance of Modu.

And they still managed to do it!

This is a group of famous generals who, after a series of victories, are bursting with confidence and are the most arrogant group of their time.

Even if they were to lead their troops right now and conquer the entire grassland, they wouldn't hesitate for a second.

Han Xin stood up at this moment and looked at everyone present: "News has come from Chang'an."

Everyone immediately asked with great anticipation, "Is there some good news?"

Han Xin shook his head, his killing intent surging out in a violent and intense way: "I have some bad news to tell you all. Spy agents from Nanyue have been discovered in Guanzhong. After confirmation, it has been found that the Nanyue spies have contacted the Xiongnu in the north, hoping to use the Xiongnu to slow down the Qin Dynasty."

"At the same time, spies from the Southern Yue may have also infiltrated the Yuezhi. According to news from the Qin's Longxi border army, the Yuezhi people recently conducted small-scale troop probing, and they are very likely to launch a military campaign against the Qin!"

When Han Xin finished speaking, the generals present unleashed their full power.

Wang Ling glared angrily, his killing intent surging: "You're courting death! The hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops have been defeated. The Yuezhi people combined are about the same size as the Xiongnu army. Where did they get the audacity to attack Qin?"

Han Xin scoffed: "These wolves and tigers won't forget anything that's beneficial. Have you forgotten the Xiongnu?"

"Taking advantage of the Qin Dynasty's extreme fatigue from continuous battles, they plan to attack the Qin Dynasty and seize the opportunity to cause chaos!"

"The Yuezhi people's ambition and strength are in no way inferior to those of the Xiongnu!"

Everyone clenched their fists.

Those damned aliens.

Do they all think that the Qin Dynasty is easy to bully?

"Hmph, if you dare to cause trouble for the Great Qin, you should be prepared to die."

"Does Chang'an have enough troops? Should we immediately mobilize reinforcements?"

"The Yuezhi people really know how to pick a good time. The Qin Dynasty is embroiled in a fierce battle with the Xiongnu, so the Yuezhi army cannot be ignored!"

Chai Wu spoke in a deep voice.

The Qin Dynasty mobilized almost the entire nation's resources for this campaign to suppress the Xiongnu.

Even if we win this great battle, our supplies are almost exhausted.

Han Xin had already been considering a swift victory, to support Wang Ben, who was still fighting in the north, as he marched south and dispersed his troops.

“There are still some local soldiers and retired veterans in Longxi who will temporarily assist in the defense and garrison.”

"Even if the Yuezhi people wanted to send troops, they could not gather a large force in a short period of time."

"His Majesty intends to personally lead the expedition and launch a preemptive strike before the Yuezhi can make a move!"

After Han Xin finished speaking, everyone became excited again.

It should be noted that this Qin emperor was a true battlefield ruler, possessing unparalleled wisdom and strategy.

The status of an emperor, while an honor, can also gradually become a shackle.

With the empire's civilization just beginning to recover, the country is in ruins, and wars are raging abroad. The emperor cannot easily leave the central government.

In particular, large-scale battles that are far from the central command can last for a long time.

Unexpectedly, this time the young emperor is going to personally lead the army again!

Chai Wu's expression turned colder: "The Marquis of the North has summoned us here. Just say what your orders are!"

Han Xin surveyed the assembled generals: "From now on, all soldiers will have no rest. You have three days to make your final preparations!"

"The battle in the northern frontier must end before January!"
