Chapter 438: New Ideas for the Huns
Obviously, Han Xin still had concerns when he said this, so he did not say how they should change, but of course he knew more or less what he was thinking in his heart.
"How to change with it? Could it be that I, Daqin, and the Huns, can live in peace?"
When Han Xin heard Ying Gao's questioning that he had elongated his voice, he knew in his heart that Ying Gao must be afraid that the two of them would arouse the dissatisfaction of Taiwei Meng Yi, so he expressed his attitude, so he knew what he should say.
"Your Majesty must not be anxious. When Maodun was the Xiongnu Chanyu, my Daqin was just a target of burning, killing and looting in his eyes. Donghu and Yuezhi were both nomadic tribes like them. Fighting could only harm others and oneself. Only our Daqin village was equivalent to pieces of fat in the eyes of their cavalry, so they tried so hard to loot our Daqin tribe. After Xiang Yu became the Xiongnu Chanyu, although he knew that the land of the Xiongnu was not suitable for cultivation, but as I learned when I arrived in Shangjun the last time, Xiang Yu divided some of the pastures to specialize in raising some livestock for the Xiongnu people to eat, so that some Xiongnu women raised some livestock that could not ride on the battlefield every day. So at this time, the Xiongnu people no longer had to worry about food, which gave me a chance to Daqin!"
Han Xin said so much in one breath, and was about to take a breath and continue to talk, Meng Yi was a little unhappy. He retorted: "The Huns no longer worry about food, it is the disaster for me, and it is not the opportunity for me, the Qin Dynasty. Now Xiang Yu has applied stirrups to the Hun cavalry. If he no longer has to worry about food, he can only be said to be my eternal enemy of me, the Qin Dynasty!"
Although he knew the relationship between Han Xin and Ying Gao, Han Xin's words really made Meng Yi unable to hold back. He didn't know what Han Xin said at all. Meng Yi really admired Han Xin's attainment in leading troops in wars, but this remark really made Meng Yi a little confused.
"Don't be angry at the Grand Marshal. Let's listen to Han Xin's words first. If Han Xin is unable to convince the Grand Marshal in the end, Han Xin will be willing to be punished!"
Han Xin also knew that Meng Yi was a time-honored brand in the Qin Dynasty. Although his thoughts were a little rigid, his loyalty to the Qin Dynasty and Ying Gao was not a problem at all. Moreover, in order to cooperate with the new policy of the Qin Dynasty, it was said that many descendants of the Meng family had almost been broken by Meng Yi.
Han Xin knew all these things, so he admired Meng Yi very much and had no disdain. After all, Ying Gao gave Meng Yi very much face, so of course he had to follow the emperor's pace, right?
Seeing that Han Xin's attitude was quite humble, Meng Yi could not go too far even if he was not satisfied. He could only nod his head slightly and began to wait for Han Xin's following.
"Don't worry about food, the Xiongnu's desire for war will inevitably be greatly reduced, because the cavalry of our Great Qin is a well-equipped and well-trained cavalry. Fighting with our Great Qin cavalry, apart from reducing the population of the Huns and giving Donghu and Yuezhi opportunities just killed by them, there is no positive meaning. So what Xiang Yu thought in his mind at this time should not be when to attack our Great Qin, but how to avoid our Great Qin cavalry from leaving the Great Wall to attack his Huns, because he knew very well that the Qin Dynasty now has no decent enemies except him, so he is afraid that his heart has already been blown up!"
As Han Xin said, Meng Yi's face slowly relaxed. Indeed, the Huns he had thought about before were still the Huns who rushed forward without blinking and screaming. But now, after the Huns were replaced by Xiang Yu, the living habits and even thoughts of the Huns were no longer the previous Huns.
Before, the Huns were on the verge of starvation every day, so they had to use endless plunder to calm their sense of crisis. But now it is different. After Xiang Yu's efforts, they were not very good at the eyes of the Huns, but the sheep with good flesh and fast breeding speed and almost all the mountain pigs spread all over the Central Plains have become the objects of the Huns' breeding.
According to Xiang Yu's order, almost every Hun tribe of all sizes would have many women who specialize in raising these livestock. The flesh of animals and the sheep were all very good food for the Huns. These were also mentioned in the news sent back by Meng Tian before.
"Taiwei, I wonder how you feel about General Han Xin's words?"
Ying Gao's words were serious, and it was impossible to tell that he was giving Meng Yi a step. In fact, Ying Gao really wanted to know Meng Yi's true thoughts as soon as possible. As the Grand Marshal of the Qin Dynasty, Meng Yi must be on the same level as Ying Gao's thoughts, otherwise, some things would be very difficult to arrange for Ying Gao.
"What General Han Xin said is really reasonable, but although the Huns were very afraid of our Great Qin, they had food and occupied a large area of land before Yuezhi and Donghu. They would definitely develop rapidly in recent years. Once their cavalry is several times more than they are now, it is hard to guarantee that they will not have the idea of capturing our Great Qin. After all, Xiang Yu was destroyed by the Great Qin State and began to rebel against Qin, and Xiang Liang died in the hands of the king..."
Speaking of this, Meng Yi’s concerns are self-evident. Although Xiang Yu is not a bold one, there is also a deep grudge between Xiang Yu and the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, the current Xiang Yu does not want to attack the Qin Dynasty, which does not mean that Xiang Yu will not want to attack the Qin Dynasty in the future.
Of course, Ying Gao knew that Meng Yi’s worries were very reasonable, but what to do in the end was something he had never stopped to study in the past or two years. It is true that Xiang Yu was his enemy, but Ying Gao also knew that Xiang Yu was a talent.
Moreover, unlike the lonely hero in his previous life, Xiang Yu, who only knew how to move forward but not retreat, in this life, with his suppression and the assistance of Fan Zeng, Zhang Liang and others in the early stage, Xiang Yu was obviously mature enough. These can be seen from his actions in the Huns. What he wanted was obviously not a mercenary-style Huns, but a real treating the Huns as his own country.
Ying Gao believed that Xiang Yu like this would definitely not be a soldier who lost 100,000 or 80,000 soldiers without even blinking his eyelids. He must have feelings for the Huns he managed, just like his feelings for the Qin Dynasty.
And such feelings are exactly what Ying Gao can make good use of at this stage.
"What the Taiwei said naturally has a considerable reason, but I think this matter is still a matter of human affairs. With the current strength of our Qin Dynasty, if Xiang Yu is in the situation of Donghu and Yuezhi, he is naturally doomed, but it is impossible to completely erase the Huns. I believe that Xiang Yu also knows this, so... I want to negotiate with this Xiang Yu! It seems that he is willing to surrender!"
Negotiation? Surrender?
These two words could not appear on the Huns at all, and suddenly they were spoken out from Ying Gao's mouth, but Meng Yi and Han Xin around them were all very surprised.
How to negotiate with Xiang Yu? How can people like Xiang Yu surrender? Especially when they already have their own territory and are already the Shanyu of the Huns, no matter how they think about it, this is absolutely impossible.
"Your Majesty, you can't speak nonsense about this matter. You and Xiang Yu are people with deep blood hatred. And you heard that Xiang Yu is very strong. In this way, it will directly trigger a fierce battle between the Qin and the Huns!"
It was still Meng Yi, and he fully recognized Han Xin's previous analysis, but Ying Gao suddenly made such a move, which was really not something Meng Yi could resist.
"Even if it triggered a fierce battle between the Great Qin and the Huns, the Taiwei thought that the Great Qin could still be afraid of Xiang Yu's Hun cavalry. Although he had stirrups, I still had the means to deal with him. Besides, the Taiwei's brothers, General Meng Tian, who had been guarding Shangjun, had long wanted to have a fierce battle with the Huns?"
"But according to what the emperor said before, shouldn't I, Qin, start a war with the Huns at this time?" Ying Gao's thoughts were becoming increasingly unreasonable to Meng Yi. Now Meng Yi no longer knows whether Ying Gao wants to start a war with the Huns or what is going on.
"Will it be one thing? But whether it is afraid or not is another thing. I, Daqin, don't want to use the lives of my Daqin soldiers to launch a meaningless war with any force, but I, Daqin, are not afraid of war with any force! This is the character of Daqin that I want!"
"hiss……"
Meng Yi and Han Xin suddenly discovered that they could not find any of the two resounding words of Ying Gao that could refute. Yes, why is the giant Qin, afraid of going to war with a mere Hun? This is obviously not a big problem for Qin.
"Your Majesty, I wonder how you want to negotiate with Xiang Yu, and what means can you make Xiang Yu surrender to my Great Qin?"
After all, Han Xin's head was much faster than Meng Yi. Meng Yi was still digesting the idea that Ying Gao had proposed for the first time, Han Xin had already asked.
Ying Gao's previous two sentences made him so excited. He suddenly felt that Daqin had many things to do on the battlefield, rather than waiting for the Southern Navy to be recruited by him as he imagined, after he died, he went over and took a look. The status of Daqin was definitely not something that the generals like them could wait in the mansion.
"Although Xiang Yu has grown a lot over the years, there are too many things he doesn't know in this world. He only knows that there is me, the Great Qin, and naturally he wants to treat the Great Qin as his enemy. It's time for Xiang Yu to open his eyes. Whether he can make a fortune will be revealed soon!"
After hearing Ying Gao's words, Han Xin felt aroused his heart and thought of something.
"What the emperor said to open Xiang Yu's eyes was... to inform Xiang Yu of the Mauryan Dynasty? But I'm afraid Xiang Yu can't believe such a mysterious thing."
With Han Xin's mind, it must be a little clear. Of course, he knew that Ying Gao's main energy in war has been placed on the so-called Mauryan Dynasty, because just after Ying Gao informed Wang Li and Peng Yue in Jiujiang County about how to build warships and recruit soldiers, Ying Gao spent time in Xianyang City to find the charts drawn by Xu Fu before going to sea, as well as those who had participated in the production of these charts.
With Ying Gao's generous reward, these people rushed to Jiujiang under the escort of some imperial guards who were only loyal to Ying Gao. Although Ying Gao didn't say it, Han Xin knew as soon as he guessed, these people must have gone to draw a chart for Ying Gao.
Although you haven't taken a warship to sea, Han Xin also knows that if you want to go out to sea to fight, or go to other land or islands, a sea chart is necessary, otherwise even if you have a warship like steel, you will not be able to withstand the purposeless sailing on the sea.
But the production of the navigation chart is very complicated. I don’t know how many failures and how many deaths it takes to complete, so Ying Gao did not announce this to the public, and Han Xinxin also has a considerable understanding of it.
But there is one thing that Ying Gao made so many preparations for this battle across the sea, and Xiang Yu must not know.
It is impossible for him to follow Jiujiang County where he once fought to see the newly built warships of the Qin Dynasty. So in Han Xin's opinion, although this matter is very likely to be true, if you want Xiang Yu to believe it and turn the gun around because of this matter, it is a little simpler than a fool, but it is not much simpler.
"Whether Xiang Yu can believe it does not depend on what the matter is, but on what sincerity I have shown!"
"Your Majesty, Xiang Yu has been in the Huns for many years and has become increasingly cunning. Don't be too interested in taking risks in person!"
When Meng Yi heard Ying Gao's words, it seemed that Ying Gao wanted to go and see Xiang Yu's attitude in person, but he didn't have time to verify it, so he just said this.
Meng Yi's anxious frightened Ying Gao himself. Although he had analyzed through the letter that Xiang Yu sent him before that only he knew about it, Xiang Yu's current mentality must be much more peaceful than before, Ying Gao didn't know what made Xiang Yu's mentality change so much.
Under such circumstances, I still have the title of enemy who killed Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Liang. Moreover, my Qin Dynasty is dozens of times stronger than Xiang Yu's Huns. In this case, I will definitely not lower my posture, so Meng Yi's such worries are unnecessary.
