The villain system of Mingyue in Qin Dynasty

"See Shanyu!"

The royal court of the Xiongnu and the tent of the king Shanyu.

Donghu's envoy was arrogant and rude, and he only gave a perfunctory fist pump to Mao Dun.

In the king's tent, all the court officials in Maodun looked angry at the Donghu envoy, but that was all.

Because, the Xiongnu Chanyu on the throne, Maodun, was not dissatisfied at all with the Donghu envoy who dared to offend him, and even had a smile on his face.

"My king asked me to tell Shanyu that he likes the thousand-mile horse that the Huns paid tribute to last time."

Donghu's envoy used the word "tribute", as if he regarded the Xiongnu as Donghu's vassals.

Modun waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's a small matter, as long as King Donghu is happy!"

"Thank you Chanyu!" Donghu's envoy was full of smiles on his face, but he secretly thought in his heart. Could it be that this Chanyu was beaten by Emperor Qin and lost all his ambition? That thousand-mile horse is the national treasure of the Xiongnu!

He then tried: "My king wants to ask Shan Yu for something this time."

"The Xiongnu of Donghu have always been good friends. I will do my best to do what King Donghu needs."

"My king wants a concubine from Shanyu."

"Be bold!"

Duo Yanboba, the captain of the capital, stood up and shouted angrily: "Don't go too far, King Donghu, for he really thinks that I, the Huns, have no one!"

Duoyan Boba's violent shout was like a spark igniting a powder keg. For a time, all the court officials in Shanyu's court exploded.

The custom of the Xiongnu is that fathers and concubines inherit their children, and brothers, wives, and brothers inherit. Women without serious status are like goods and can be traded and inherited.

However, although a concubine is not a big deal, Dong Hu is undoubtedly slapping Shan Yu in the face by doing this!

A naked provocation and insult! How can this not make the people who are in charge of the king's account not angry and resentful!

Who knew that the Donghu envoy was not afraid at all, but there was a threat in his words, saying: "The Qin Emperor raised an army to attack the Xiongnu, and even blocked the Xiongnu for more than a thousand miles, but he still wants to make friends with me, the Donghu. My king Kongxian With tens of thousands of dollars, are you still afraid?"

"Haha! What did your envoy say? It's just a concubine. King Donghu wants it, so of course I won't begrudge it." Mao Dun stretched out his hand to stop the dissatisfied court officials, and then asked: "I don't know. Which concubine of mine does King Donghu want?"

"Hu Ji!"

"she?"

"What? Isn't Chanyu unwilling?" The Donghu envoy looked at Modu's hesitant look, thinking that Modu was reluctant to part with Hu Ji because of her beauty.

The beauty of Orchid is well-known in the grassland, even King Donghu who is thousands of miles away has heard of it. Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that the Xiongnu were in trouble, King Donghu wanted to send an envoy to ask for it.

"If it is convenient for your envoy, I will ask Hu Ji to prepare and follow the envoy back to Donghu."

"So, thank you!"

After the Donghu envoy finished speaking, he left Maodun's royal tent without looking back.

"Okay, we've finished seeing Donghu's envoys, please retreat!" Mao Dun waved his hand and motioned for his court officials to retreat.

Although they were unwilling to do so, all the court officials still followed the order. Only the wolf girl Nomin and Creon still stayed in the king's tent.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Mao Dun finally couldn't hold back his laughter and expressed it.

Nuomin and Creon looked at Maodun's appearance and asked in confusion: "Chanyu, what is so funny?"

This was obviously a very shameless thing, so how could Shanyu still laugh?

Mao Dun sat on the throne and said with a serious face: "The current situation is that the Xiongnu and Donghu stand side by side in the east and west. If I, the Xiongnu, merge with Donghu, then Donghu will merge with Xiongnu. I was still thinking that there is no one of mine in the Donghu royal court. In the future, To attack Donghu, we must take some unfair paths. Who would have thought that the king of Donghu actually wants to ask for Hu Ji from me? God helps me."

"Chanyu, Hu Ji, this woman has deep connections with the Qin people. Will she help us so easily?" Nuo Min, the wolf girl, questioned.

"Don't worry, both Hu Ji and the people behind her understand who our real enemy is?" Moton's eyes flashed as he thought of the man who brought great shame to the Xiongnu. "Don't be afraid of Donghu. King Donghu's hundreds of thousands of warriors will be mine sooner or later. And Emperor Qin is our real enemy!"

After saying this, Modu stood up, looked at Creon, and said, "Kryon has something I want to tell you."

"Chanyu?" Creon was a little surprised by Maodun's attitude. Maodun, who had always been cheerful, seemed a little embarrassed at the moment. What on earth did he want to say?

"That's right. I just received information from a spy that your hometown has been occupied by the Yuezhi people. The Yuezhi people established the Kushan Empire there."

Like a bolt from the blue, Creon was stunned.

Morton patted the shoulder of Creon, who was in sorrow, hoping that he could relax a little.

"I plan to form an alliance with the Yuezhi people to deal with Qin together."

Looking at Moton's slightly apologetic face, Creon smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine."

"Chanyu, why are we doing this?" At this time, the wolf girl Nuomin was a little confused and was fighting for Creon. "The Yueshi are far outside the Western Region. Even if the alliance cannot respond to each other, what is the point of such an alliance? What's more, Qin is now divided into east and west. The Qin Emperor wants to regain the lost land, but he doesn't know how long it will take. We have so many opportunities!”

"No! Our chances are running out." Mao Dun said calmly: "The vast Western Region is now under the strict control of the Qin State, and it can provide Qin with a large amount of materials and taxes every year. Once it is surrendered again Emperor Qin has put down the rebellion in the east, and he will have enough power to deal with us! The Great Wall of thousands of miles will be the best line of defense for Qin to stop us. Emperor Qin can easily defeat us as long as he sends enough infantry at each pass of the Great Wall This prevents us from going south smoothly. The Yuezhi and the Qin State have a deep-seated hatred, and the current Queen of Kushan is the former Princess of the Yuezhi. With them to contain them in the Western Region, our offensive to retake the grassland will be smoother."

"I understand, Chanyu." Creon nodded and said, "I am a warrior and will not ruin the master's plan because of my own personal emotions."

"Feel sorry!"

……..

Qin Palace.

When Ying Ziyi received the information on the grassland, he looked unhappy.

The King of Donghu asked Moton for a thousand-mile horse for the first time, and a concubine for the second time. So did he ask for land for the third time?

Ying Ziyi touched his head and expressed his helplessness! With this familiar painting style, it seems that Donghu will be annexed by the Xiongnu in a few years.

Because the Donghu and Xiongnu restrained each other, the pressure on the northern Great Wall was not too great. But if the Xiongnu were allowed to annex Donghu, the pressure on the northern border would inevitably increase sharply. Especially in Jiuyuan, the Huns would not give up that large area of ​​excellent pasture.

There will definitely be a war between the empire and the Huns in the future. ?"Your Majesty! Nei Shimengyi wants to see your Majesty."

"pass!"

Meng Yi walked into the palace from the outside, bowed and said: "I see your Majesty!"

"No need to be polite, has Meng Qing come here to deal with the farming issue?" Ying Ziyi straightened his sitting posture, looked at Meng Yi, and asked.

"Yes, the 700,000 prisoners in Xianyang have been gradually allocated to various counties for resettlement. Most of the garrison troops from the border counties have also been stationed nearby. This is the number of grain stores consumed by Xianyangcang, Aocang and other warehouses."

The chamberlain took the silk book from Meng Yi and handed it to Ying Ziyi's desk.

Ying Ziyi took a cursory glance and found that he had consumed more than three million shi of food to resettle the refugees, garrison soldiers, and prisoners. However, this is only an initial investment.

"Your Majesty, there is one thing that I am worried about." Meng Yi pointed out.

"What?"

"At this moment, several counties in the east of the empire are occupied by rebels. The supply of the empire's more than 200,000 troops in Baiyue has been cut off by more than half. Over time, people's hearts may become unstable."

"What does Meng Qing mean?"

"As far as I know, the pseudo-emperor issued an imperial edict to the kings of various parts of Baiyue to win over people's hearts. Not only that, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo were among them. Ren Xiao was the king of Nanyue, and Zhao Tuo was the king of Longchuan. Marquis. Although the two of them have not suffered, Your Majesty should also comfort them."

Ying Ziyi nodded and said, "By the way, is Zhao Xin at your place?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Let him follow Wang Li to the south to garrison troops this time, divide 20,000 troops into Xiangcheng, and order him to supervise the construction of large and small warships."

……..

"General Long Qie, our scouts reported that Qin General Han Xin is coming with 10,000 cavalry. In less than half a day, he is afraid that he will come into contact with our troops on the outer edge."

"Well done!" Long Qie laughed.

Long Qie led the elite Chu army here to block the Qin soldiers from Wuguan.

Long Qie divided his troops into formation, stood on the top of the mountain, and asked, "Who is this Han Xin?"

The deputy general next to Long Qie said: "I have never heard of his reputation. However, when Emperor Qin pacified Baiyue, it is said that a young boy led an army of 5,000 and destroyed 60,000 South Vietnamese troops. This was Han Xin. But all the military ministers under Emperor Qin are already famous generals who are powerful in the world. This Han Xin has been with Emperor Qin for many years, but he has never had much reputation, but these are mostly just rumors."

Long Qie shook his head and said: "But if this is true, Han Xin is not as talented as Sun Wu."

"General, there is no need to disturb them. The Qin army is all cavalry. We are well prepared and they will never be able to escape. At the moment, the Marquis is attacking Wancheng. Once captured, Han Xin will not have to worry."

Long Qie stood high and looked at the elite formations below. These people were all brought out by him. They were well-armed and well-trained.

In today's era, cavalry is only an auxiliary arm, and chariots are the king. This is the consensus of all military strategists.

Long Qie held his hand tightly. In the past few days, their Chu army invaded Nanyang, conquering several cities in a row, and their reputation spread far and wide. As long as this Qin army is stopped, Nanyang will belong to Chu.

"coming!"

Long Qie watched for a long time on the top of the mountain. Smoke and dust billowed in the distance, and a large number of cavalry were coming here.

However, what surprised Long Qie was that this Qin cavalry was not the previous crossbow cavalry. The forward cavalry carried long spears and sabers for close combat.

Han Xin led his troops in the middle and looked at the opponent's formation from a distance. The general of the Chu army stationed a large number of troops on high ground, with cavalry and archers on both sides. He chuckled and said: "Crane Wing Formation!"

Han Xin secretly thought, this Chu general seems to be very confident in him!

The Crane Wing Formation is a formation that is both offensive and defensive. As the name suggests, the formation is unfolded, and the two sides of the army are like the two wings of a crane. If they are separated, they can surround the enemy on the left and right, and if they are combined, they can flank the enemy.

Although the Crane Wing Formation is very simple, basically any military strategist who has read military books can use it. However, whether it can be used well is the dividing line between ordinary generals and famous generals.

"Disperse!"

Even while moving at high speed, Han Xin's military orders were still conveyed very accurately.

On the busy plain, Qin Qi, who had been gathered together, slowly dispersed. Under the leadership of their respective cavalry generals, the chaotic Qin army gradually split into diamond formations, orderly and compact.

Long Qie was shocked. He didn't expect this Qin army to be so elite. While moving at high speed, the formation opened and closed quickly and accurately. What surprised him even more was that the cavalry on the left and right sides of Qin Qi gradually protruded and moved towards his own wings.

Without the formation of infantry or the assistance of archers, this cavalry army just rushed over like this?

Even Zhao Guo’s elite cavalry, who were famous all over the world in the past, didn’t just rush up and attack other people’s infantry?

Cavalry can only be used as an auxiliary unit. The charge of the Lancers is sharp, but not lasting. The harassment ability of the bow cavalry is powerful, but it is only limited to long-range attacks, and the damage is not high.

Long Qie was surprised. He opened the Crane Wing Formation and used more cavalry, archers and pawns in order to maintain the speed of fighting on both wings. The characteristics of these sergeants are light armor and fast speed.

However, no matter how light the armor is, they are still infantry in formation! There are also cavalry and archers covering the side, occupying a favorable location.

"Wait!" Long Qie looked carefully and found that this cavalry army was different from the previous Qin army. There seemed to be more equipment on the horses, and their legs seemed to be stepping on something.

The cavalry on both sides of the opponent's side have already begun to contact the first-line soldiers on both sides of their own. The Qin cavalry armed with long spears rushed into the Chu army's formation, and with the usual round of attacks, they broke through the defense line composed of the first and second rows of soldiers with the power of their spears.

However, after that, they did not retreat. Instead, they pulled out the long ring heads, entered the array and began to chop. The Qin army used a hundred cavalry as a unit and cooperated with each other to easily disperse the Chu army's first line of infantry array.

Long Qie had already realized that something was wrong. The opponent's combat capabilities were definitely not comparable to those of the Qin army's cavalry in the past.

More importantly, the cavalry he deployed on both wings were already targeted by the Qin army.

The Chu cavalry were all bow cavalry, and the quality of the horses was not as good as that of the Qin army, and their speed was much slower.

The Qin army did not entangle the Chu army's infantry on both wings. The difference in mobility meant that Chu Qi, who was supposed to be an auxiliary, was vulnerable to the Qin army's offensive.

Long Qie was shocked. Once the two wings were defeated by the Qin army, his team in the center would be surrounded. But at this moment, he wanted to change his formation again, but it was already too late.

Han Xin?

Long Qie in the formation chewed the name carefully.
