"Don't make a statement, just lead the way in front of me, and I'll talk about everything when I'm waiting!"

Lu Jia was still very cautious. He knew that once he gave hope to the soldiers behind him and disappointed them after that, it would be a big blow to their spirits. So Lu Jia did not make any statement. Although his heart was also beating around, he wanted to reach this historic moment as soon as possible, but he was afraid that after he arrived, he found that it was just a small mountain bag.

Under such a tangled and contradictory mind, Lu Jia and the others walked for nearly three hours. Finally, they saw the scouts vaguely exploring everywhere in front of them. When they saw Lu Jia and his large army arrived, they were very excited and hurriedly surrounded Lu Jia and reported on the situation they were investigating nearby in the past few hours.

As Ying Gao said before, from here, there are not a few individual peaks in front of you, but a series of mountains. No one can tell how far this mountain range extends, which is enough to show that this mountain range is another world after it.

"I'll send a camp on the open space at the foot of the mountain. I'll wait for this time to check the terrain after the snow."

Lu Jia Qianxing suppressed the joy in his heart. He did not rush to write a letter to Ying Gao. Instead, he wanted to wait until the wind and snow passed and find a place with a good vision to find all the nearby situation before talking. After all, if this letter goes back, Ying Gao may have set off another storm in the entire Qin Dynasty, so he must be very cautious.

After setting up the camp, Lu Jia almost didn't sleep all night. He stared at the wind and snow outside the tent. When the sky was slightly bright the next day, the storm finally stopped. Lu Jia couldn't wait to get out of the tent, wanting to take a good look at the true appearance of this large mountain range.

When he came to a high ground and looked into the distance, even Lu Jia, who was mentally prepared for this place, couldn't help but take a breath.

The one in front of him was indeed a large mountain range. This mountain range had snow-white peaks, which symbolized the very low temperature above. What shocked Lu Jia even more was that the length of this mountain range was like a natural danger, splitting the barren land and the space at the end of the mountain range. After seeing this, Lu Jia did not find any gaps within the range of his eyes.

After observing for nearly half an hour, Lu Jia almost imprinted the landform he saw in his mind, and then returned to his big tent.

After a brief record, Lu Jia summoned all the minds of the people who came with him this time to him. Everyone had already seen the mountains in front of them, and they all knew what such a situation might mean to them.

"We have gone through several months of hardships, and today we finally live up to the entrusted entrusted by the Lord and the Xiongnu Shanyu. We arrived at this boundary that was only separated from the Mauryan Dynasty by mountains and rivers. According to the Lord's guidance, opposite the mountain range is the common goal of the Great Qin and the Xiongnu, the Mauryan Dynasty!"

After Lu Jia confirmed this matter, the people in front of him cheered. They knew the hardships of their journey. Now, a rare dawn finally appeared in the fog before. They knew that they were very close to their real goals.

"But as I saw, if you want to lead to the Mauryan Dynasty, you must find a gap in this mountain range. Today I have just checked it, and this gap is not easy to find. It can be said that I have succeeded at the same distance, and the road is long. Therefore, since then, we have focused on this place and explored the two sides along the mountain range. Once we can find the open place, even if we can only pass through one person and one riding, it will be a great contribution!"

After this mobilization, all the remaining people were full of energy. They had basically adapted to the environment and climate of this place. The most deadly thing before was basically to travel day and night, but now there is finally no need to rush. In other words, their life safety is basically guaranteed. Not only that, once they find the passage to the Mauryan Dynasty, they will also make great contributions.

While on the road, Lu Jia had already revealed to some soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty that when this large area of ​​barren land was really found, half of the places would be from the Great Qin Dynasty, and the other half would be the Huns.

It is this half of the land of Daqin. When the Emperor of Daqin was planning, he would definitely not forget these people who followed him, the Western Regions, to open up the land together. In other words, when this became some counties and counties of Daqin, these people would become officials of all sizes, which made their hearts full of motivation.

At this time, it was time for Lu Jia to report his first stage results to Ying Gao. He silently wrote a letter to Ying Gao. Without making any big fuss, he silently sent a reliable person to send him back to Ying Gao.

When this letter was in Ying Gao's hands, Ying Gao had already spent two boring months in Xianyang City. There was no news about Xiang County. The news of Hu Hai's disappearance when Ying Gao was on a tour of Nanhai County had almost spread throughout the Qin Dynasty, and the navigation chart had not progressed, which made Ying Gao feel a little bored, but the arrival of Lu Jia's letter made Ying Gao know what it means to relieve worries.

When he saw Lu Jia claiming that the Mauryan Dynasty was opposite the mountain range, he almost jumped off his dragon throne excitedly.

Lu Jia's words were not without pride, but he still used the most space to suggest Ying Gao to take advantage of this time to send some personnel to the contact points he set up to assist in the exploration of the mountains, and first occupy those contact points. Then when they found the road to the Mauryan Dynasty, they basically got close to Bashu and all the lands leading to the Mauryan Dynasty and then became the half of the Qin Dynasty.

In this way, the territory of the Qin Dynasty will be a smooth expansion. What is more important is that by then, the Qin Dynasty will master the important transportation route to the Mauryan Dynasty, which will be an invisible restraint for the Huns.

Seeing these things, Ying Gao felt that he had used Lu Jia as the so-called Western Region Observer. Moreover, through Lu Jia, Ying Gao gradually realized a problem, that is, if you let him stand in the court, he might be able to play a significant role, but most of the time he was still talking about it on paper.

But if you let these talented and learned people out like Lu Jia, and let them do what they like, you may get unexpected results.

Lu Jia did not regard this Western Region observation as a burden, and once Ying Gao used someone he didn't want to go, at least he wouldn't find that large mountain range as steadily as Lu Jia.

In the next step, it is certain that you should use Lu Jia. Ying Gao made up this decision secretly. He found that Lu Jia was very happy to explore unknown areas, and just in time, exploring a barren land is just the beginning of Ying Gao's exploration path. There are many places in the future that have to be explored.

Even though he was happy, Lu Jia also reminded Ying Gao in the letter that finding the entrance seemed simple, but any result could happen. Once the manpower could reach was a heavy mountain, and the cavalry of the Huns naturally could not cross such a mountain, and this matter would be difficult to deal with.

Although there is a saying that roads are cleared by mountains in this era, no one knows how thick such a mountain range is. If you choose a place based on your feelings, it will take a long time for the human resources of the Qin and the Huns to transport it to this place. In addition, the climate of this place is very harsh, so it is possible to open it artificially for one or two years.

At this time, this matter was obviously a turning point. Ying Gao showed his usual kindness and sent someone to tell Xiang Yu about this matter. On the one hand, he told him the progress made in this matter, and on the other hand, he also told Xiang Yu that the Huns could not sit idly by the matter of opening up the mountains. Once the matter reached this point, Ying Gao would help Xiang Yu explore the road from the Huns to that mountain range, but the real digging of the mountains must have been completed by the Huns and the Qin people.

After informing Xiang Yu, Ying Gao finally summoned Han Xin to him. He knew that it was time for Han Xin to take action.

"Justice, so, once Lu Jia finds the entrance to the Mauryan Dynasty in that mountain range, my cavalry of the Qin and the Huns can attack the Mauryan Dynasty at any time?"

"In principle, this is the case, but I think this matter is not that simple. You should prepare first. Select the 20,000 most elite cavalry among the Great Qin cavalry and lead them to Bashu County. All the food, grass and supplies of these 20,000 cavalry were raised by the two counties of Bashu. After that, you can go to the closest contact point to Daqin to check it out, so that my soldiers of Daqin can familiarize themselves with the climate and environment there, so that they can rush to the Mauryan Dynasty at any time."

Han Xin knew what Ying Gao meant as soon as he heard it. He knew that he had been preparing for this battle for a long time, and it was finally time to be truly prepared for war.

In fact, when he knew that Ying Gao would lead 20,000 cavalry to cooperate with Xiang Yu, he had already selected the 20,000 people he wanted to take away. He was waiting for today's day. As soon as Ying Gao opened his mouth, he took the tiger talisman to transfer the soldiers he had selected and then took them away.

After the two discussed it, Han Xin almost had a light in his eyes and wanted to prepare quickly, but when he was about to turn around, Ying Gao stopped him in anger.

"I wonder what else is there to give to you?"

"You go to attack the Mauryan Dynasty this time, and it is very likely that you will be able to return to the Qin Dynasty for many years. You must let Yangzi know about this. Don't start to quarrel with me in the Xianyang Palace when she finds out that you have not returned for several months."

When Han Xin heard that what Ying Gao told him was this, he scratched his head embarrassedly, thinking that this time he really couldn't push this matter to Ying Gao again.

Indeed, when Yang Zi asked him several times, he said that it was because of the emperor's dispatch. The consequence of this was that when he did not return to Xianyang City for a long time, Yang Zi would almost always find Ying Gao in the Xianyang Palace and cry and make a fuss. After Han Xin came back, he smiled slightly, hiding his merits and fame.

Now it seems that his behavior has obviously been seen through by Ying Gao. If he does this again this time, he will not pay attention to it.

After agreeing to this with a smile, Han Xin finally got out. Looking at his back, Ying Gao knew that this guy might really have to explain to his wife Yang Zi well, because this battle was completely different from the previous few times, with many dangers and many opportunities.

Apart from telling Han Xin about this, Ying Gao did not publicize it in the Qin Dynasty. Although such progress is gratifying, it is not the case in the eyes of those officials who do not understand the abilities.

Although there was nothing to hide in the attack on the Mauryan Dynasty within the Qin Dynasty and even the Huns, Ying Gao still did not want to broadcast live to some irrelevant people and officials before he set out.

Just three days later, Han Xin silently led the Qin cavalry of 20,000 people to Bashu. His destination was the first contact point set up by Lu Jia in a barren land.

According to Han Xin's idea, he wanted to train troops there to adapt to the climate and terrain of the barren land. After all, according to the news that Lu Jia sent back to Ying Gao, the situation there was not good, and there was such a virtue on the road to the Mauryan Dynasty. It is hard to guarantee that the road in the Mauryan Dynasty was also such a virtue, right?

In just a few days, this news was passed down to Xiang Yu's ears without missing a word.

"That team actually reached the end of the desolate land in these few months. On the other side of the mountain was the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty? Could it be that the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty did not want to give all the desolate land to us the Huns, so he said this on purpose?"

As soon as the news arrived, Xiang Yu did not dare to delay, so he quickly found his confidant and a powerful leader of the Huns, and began to discuss how to deal with this matter. After all, the elite soldiers of the 80,000 Huns came from various tribes. No one could guarantee the result of such a war, so he must explain it to them in advance.
