Although Wang Li belittled himself in front of Ying Gao, he has been thinking about Xiang Yu’s purpose every day in Chen County these days. Now that Ying Gao has come, some of his thoughts have finally met the light of the sky.

"The general means... Xiang Yu is not anxious this time?"

Of course Ying Gao knew what Xiang Yu was. Now Wang Li actually said that he was probably ready to fight him for a long time. Ying Gao couldn't help but frown, thinking that when did Xiang Yu become obedient?

"Yes, according to my previous observations with Mr. Xu, if Xiang Yu was really anxious, he would take Shouchun and directly attack Chen County after he took Shouchun. Now most of the places we are in cannot be preserved. In addition, there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people in Sishui County, Xue County, Dang County and other counties, and they are not good at fighting. However, Xiang Yu did not move forward. These days, he was just building fortifications in Shouchun, and obviously wanted to defend Jiujiang County."

Ying Gao still recognized Wang Li's analysis. While he kept nodding, his expression on his face became a little solemn.

"If Xiang Yu really attacked my Qin land first, it would be understandable, but now this guy has set up a formation and waited for me to attack, he must have had some plans..."

After Ying Gao finished speaking, his eyes looked at the faces of the generals under his command, obviously wanting to hear what they meant.

"Your Majesty, what Xiang Yu thinks is that the lord cannot supervise the battle here for a long time. If he can hold on for several months in Shouchun, then the lord will have to return to Xianyang. This guy will make a big splash around the surrounding area. I am afraid that it will not be clear after a long time. Therefore, the people's hearts of the old land of Chu will turn to Xiang Yu..."

To look at the problem from a general perspective, Meng Yi is the one who is most close to Ying Gao's thoughts. If Ying Gao wants to listen to the opinions of these people below, Meng Yi is naturally responsible.

Of course Meng Yi could guess Xiang Yu's little thoughts, but one thing you could guess was one thing. It was another thing if you could forcibly break through the various fortifications set up by Xiang Yu in Shouchun within one or two months.

"Your Majesty, even if we defeated Xiang Yu's army in Shouchun, this guy would probably have been ready to return to Kuaiji County. Then we will be in the previous situation..."

The last time I didn’t go directly to Kuaiji County to kill Xiang Yu, except for Ying Gao receiving a letter from Feng Quji, the most important reason is that there are not a large number of warships that cannot cross the river. Now, the rather embarrassing point is that this problem still exists.

After hearing Meng Yi and Zhang Han's words, Ying Gao did not have any anxious expressions, but showed a secret smile.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Ying Gao suddenly looked at Chen Ying who was standing behind everyone silently, and asked, "If General Chen Ying leads 30,000 troops to fight Xiang Yu, I wonder if he can win the battle?"

"I'm not talented, I'm afraid I can't get any advantage from Xiang Yu..."

"Then if you give the general half a month, can these 30,000 soldiers protect most of them?"

"If you don't strive to win, it will be not difficult to save most of the troops..."

The best thing about Chen Ying is that no matter what you ask or what you ask me to do, when he faces Ying Gao, he only has the ability or no in his mouth, but Ying Gao also knows that his words are among the generals of the Qin Dynasty.

Almost no one below knew what Ying Gao meant, and Ying Gao naturally couldn't tell them what he meant. He believed that if his plan was really successful, the direction of the battle would undergo a fundamental change in less than a month.

Ying Gao here is making his own arrangements in Chen County. As for what arrangements he is doing, Xiang Yu naturally doesn't know.

At the same time, in the vast territory outside the Great Wall of Jiuyuan County, the northernmost part of the Great Qin, thousands of miles away, a newly rising empire is also experiencing its transformation.

On a very solid bench with several layers of animal skins on it, there was a man sitting. This man didn't look old, just one or two years older than Ying Gao, but his chin was thick beard, which showed his status in the newly established Hun Empire.

But now, the expression on his face was not good-looking. In front of him were five young Huns dressed in ordinary clothes. Obviously, these people were his confidants.

"Crown Prince, if the prince was not a clan of Yuezhi before, he would have been killed by the Yue clan members if he had not been very intelligent. And we have heard that Shanyu valued the prince's courage this time, but his clan still wanted to kill the prince as soon as possible. We just returned to the clan members. There are too few trustworthy people, and I hope the prince will prepare early!"

This young Hun was Maodun, the prince of the current Xiongnu Khan Torman. Before, Touman believed the suggestion of his little clan and sent Maodun to the Yuezhi not far from the territory of the Huns as a stamina.

It was also during this period that Maodun learned through the dead man who kept him by Touman that his father had already given up his father under the instigation of his little sage that he had given up his position as the prince to his half-brother who was only in his teens.

Among them, the strength of the Xiongnu during this period is already different from the past. Yuezhi and Donghu, who were indeed much stronger than them before, may be who is stronger than the Xiongnu.

It is precisely this reason that Touman sent troops to attack Yuezhi after a small conflict with Yuezhi. This would be nothing if it was on weekdays, but his prince was still hostage. You have already sent troops to attack him. Wouldn't you sell your own son?

But the Huns were so quick to do things, and they were so by nature. They had to do what they wanted to do.

But the reason why Maodun became Touman's prince is certainly not a 25-year-old who can do anything, and he has already made all preparations.

When the news of the Huns attacking Yuezhi reached his ears, the royal family of Yuezhi came to kill him was less than half an hour. It was also in this half hour that Maodun stepped on the Yuezhi horse that he had prepared long ago, and rode his horse alone and ran back to the territory of the Huns.

When Maodun gasped and entered the Touman Shanyu's camp, he was almost shocked by the Xiongnu tribes.

In the Huns, if you want to gain respect, you must have ability. What is ability? The ability of others to ride a thousand miles apart is considered ability.

He is capable and the prince of the Huns. No matter how unsatisfied his little woman, Touman has to bite the bullet and reward Maodun. Among the many rewards, Maodun only chose the same one, which is to command 10,000 Hun cavalry.

With these ten thousand Hun cavalry, Maodun has the capital to save his life in the Hun world, but he wants more than this...

Maodun has definitely put in some hard work in training these 10,000 cavalrymen. In order to practice the coordination ability of these soldiers and their ability to ride and shoot, he specially invented a sound arrow to let his subordinates practice under his leadership, and set a very strange rule for the cavalry under his command.

In Maodun's rule, whenever he fires an arrow, his soldiers must shoot exactly the same target as him, that is, if he shoots something, his people will shoot something. If anyone fails to obey this order, there will be only one result, and he will die.

In the previous exercise, Maodun took them to shoot birds and beasts in the forest. As long as he fired the arrow and did not respond in time, he would be killed by Maodun.

Gradually, this rule was really well developed in his army.

A month later, Maodun suddenly shot his war horse with a sound arrow during a military exercise. At this moment, many soldiers under his command thought he had shot the wrong shot and did not follow. Needless to say, there was another bloody storm afterwards, and all those who were unobedient were cracked by him.

At this moment, the people under him finally knew what kind of person their master was. Since then, almost no one has made any mistakes until today.

"How many days will it take for our tribe to hunt annually?"

"It's less than half a month..."

"Okay, it seems that there will be an experiment tomorrow to ensure that things are foolproof..."

As Maodun spoke, a trace of determination appeared in his eyes. He knew that in the current world and in his own tribe, unless you eventually become a true king, no one above you suppresses you, otherwise death may come at any time, let alone the family around you.

The next day, Maodun was still wearing the Huns' military uniform, followed by the two hundred cavalry carefully selected Huns' cavalry. Before leaving, Maodun had already explained to them that this time it was to prepare for the hunting half a month later.

This time, not only the Huns' Khan Touman will participate, but several of the Thuman's wives will also participate, and of course, other sons.

The half-day training was coming to an end soon, and just as Maodun was taking them back, a wife of Maodun suddenly appeared in front of them. Judging from the situation, she was obviously here to look for Maodun.

But to everyone's surprise, the first thing Maodun did after seeing his wife was to pick up the arrow in his hand and look at her.

After the arrow went down, he directly shot his wife to the ground. The people below were basically frightened. But then he thought again that if his wife died, he would take the lead in shooting to death, but if he didn't follow him, he would be the one who died.

So, the group of people gave him a thousand arrows to Maodun's wife. This time, Maodun's eyes showed a satisfied smile. He knew that it would be not difficult for him to finally achieve his goal.

Since Ying Gao left, the Huns have never attacked the border of Qin again, which made Meng Tian very satisfied. However, what he didn't know was that the Huns would now undergo a powerful power change within, and after this change, the pressure brought to him will be unprecedented...

This half month is undoubtedly difficult for Maodun. He has too many things in his heart, because he has become a thorn in the eyes of Touman Shanyu, who loves his younger brother more and more. The only thing he doesn't understand is that he and his younger brother who don't know anything were born to him, Touman. Why is the difference between the two of them so big?

But for the same half month, it was relaxed and pleasant for Xiang Yu.

Because after Ying Gao arrived in Chen County, he did not attack as vigorously as Xiang Yu imagined, but only sent Chen Ying to lead these 30,000 troops to carry out several tentative attacks on Xiang Yu.

A mere 30,000 troops were not enough for Xiang Yu, who was full of confidence, but Chen Ying was also strange. He was obviously the attacking side, but he always tried it casually when attacking and never went deep into Xiang Yu's camp to fight him.

Both sides would come to the last fight every few days, but the casualties were only 1,800 people, so they would not hurt their muscles at all. So after half a month, Xiang Yu was also a little excited. Although he did not relax at all according to Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang's advice, the passion for war was indeed almost wiped out.

What Xiang Yu didn't know was that when his passion was almost torn, some things might change that he could not even discover.

Let’s not talk about the changes in the battlefields of Chen County and Shouchun. Just say that as the half-month period arrives, the annual hunting of the Huns royal family begins.

The Huns, the empire that claimed to be a horse growing on horseback, can be seen from the fact that Maodun could just get a horse and escape from the Yuezhi territory mountain, that riding a horse is really important in the culture of the Huns.

And this hunting was really a lot of fun for them, and it also allowed Toman Shanyu to see the best time for his generals, especially his sons, to ride and archery.

During this hunting, Touman Shanyu must have been unable to withstand loneliness. He let his wife and children who were less than the height of the horseback sat on the platform, watching him from afar as he was about to show his strength in the hunting ground.

Maodun's mission this time was to protect Tauman Shanyu, but the cavalry that could follow him into the hunting ground was not the two hundred cavalry he thought before, but only fifty cavalry.

The area of ​​the hunting ground was still very large, with all kinds of beasts inside. At first, the crowds entering it were quite dense, but less than half an hour later, the crowd gradually dispersed.
