Chapter 532: Before the battle, prepare first

In fact, Ying Gao had thought about the countries or dynasties next to the Mauryan Dynasty before, but because they entered from the north and took down the Mauryan Dynasty, there were large areas of seas in the south, and there were some other dynasties in the west.

These dynasties are not as good as the Mauryan dynasty in terms of scale and foundation. In this way, even if the Mauryan dynasty has lost a lot of land, other dynasties should not dare to send troops for a while.

But if Ying Gao thought so, the Seleucid Dynasty really didn't do that. Obviously, they didn't care how much foundation the Mauryan Dynasty still has, nor what the Qin army that attacked the Mauryan Dynasty was. They just had one word, and they just finished it.

But the problem they did this was too great for Ying Gao. Ying Gao didn't know how many soldiers the Seleucid Dynasty would dispatch. He wanted to take advantage of the chaos to take down several cities close to his dynasty, or wanted to fight all the way to the city of Fahrenheit City to compete with Daqin, and face the enemy who had already arrived. Ying Gao knew that he could no longer rely on guessing and had to react in a real way.

Just as Ying Gao frowned and thought about how to solve this matter, Han Xin hurriedly appeared in the hall.

Now Ying Gao's attention is all focused on the internal affairs of the Qin Dynasty. Originally, Han Xin had nothing to do with him during this period. Han Xin was also happy to be idle in his mansion, but Ying Gao sent his confidant to come to him and said that there was an urgent matter, and Han Xin's heart was also shocked.

His reaction was so sensitive that he almost thought of the Mauryan Dynasty. He knew that Ying Gao was looking for him, nothing else, something happened to the Western Regions or the Mauryan Dynasty.

Seeing that Han Xin had arrived, Ying Gao said nothing else and handed Han Xin the letter written by Peng Yue to Han Xin, and then waited for him to finish reading the letter.

"Your Majesty, this matter should not be underestimated? Although we have always been in a state of unstoppable power in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty is too large. If we cannot gather a large number of troops in the Western Regions, it will be a bit unsustainable for our Great Qin to fight in the Mauryan Dynasty. Since the so-called Seleu Dynasty dares to send troops directly, they think their combat effectiveness is also very strong. Therefore, I should not be impulsive in this matter. Once the troops of Peng Yue and Sima Xin are currently damaged, it is likely that they will fail!"

Sure enough, Han Xin still had a very good understanding of the form and background of the Mauryan Dynasty. Faced with such a situation, he obviously had some ideas in his mind. The reason why he didn't say it out directly was that he wanted to see what Ying Gao thought first.

After all, according to Ying Gao's previous personality, such a thing happened to the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty that he had just booked, and the entire Mauryan Dynasty was already divided up by him and Xiang Yu in advance. Naturally, Ying Gao could not allow this.

"You mean...you shouldn't respond to this matter immediately?"

Currently, there are only Ying Gao and Han Xin, so Ying Gao naturally doesn’t have to show any attitude towards Han Xin. It’s right to control the general direction, but I do not understand the situation of the Mauryan Dynasty so meticulously. In this situation, I still need to rely on Han Xin.

"It's not that we don't respond, but we have to figure out how much the enemy is. In the current Mauryan Dynasty, both nobles and people are fleeing in a hurry. Although I, the scout of the Great Qin Dynasty, cannot speak, but there is no problem if I want to find out some things clearly. If the dynasty is just a small fuss, we naturally don't have to worry about it. When the emperor's arrangements on the Western Regions are completed, it's enough to give them a fatal blow. But if a dynasty whose strength is not inferior to that of the Great Qin Dynasty and is very close to the Mauryan Dynasty, we can't let it go."

Han Xin's remarks really made Ying Gao unexpected. While he was surreptitious, he asked silently: "What will happen if Xiang Yu learned about this?"

"Xiang Yu has a natural persistence in war. If he learned about this, he would probably contact the Lord and send troops with the Lord to wipe out the alien races that attacked the Mauryan Dynasty. However, the straight roads in the Western Regions were not yet fully built at this time, and it would be very difficult for Xiang Yu to mobilize a large number of troops."

"Okay, before Xiang Yu could not gather a large number of cavalry in the Western Regions in time, he would follow what you said, step by step, and not rush to fight with the enemy at the moment, but he should also inform Peng Yue and Sima Xin immediately to find out the details of the Seleu Dynasty as soon as possible. Once the large number of troops of our Great Qin and the Huns arrived at the Mauryan Dynasty, what I wanted was to destroy the enemy with the power of thunder."

Ying Gao was not impulsive, which made Han Xin relieved, but he also knew that although Ying Gao didn't tell him this time, he probably didn't have much life in Xianyang City. Such a situation alone would be difficult to solve in the end. There would basically be no war in the territory of Daqin. As the best general of Daqin, he naturally could not rest in Xianyang City every day, right?

"Your Majesty, why not I rush to the Mauryan Dynasty first to prevent the enemy from suddenly attacking!"

"No, Peng Yue and Sima Xin are also some of our great generals in the Qin Dynasty. There are also the first powerful general under the Xiongnu Xiang Yu, Long Qi, led tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry to guard the surrounding city of Huashi. If Xiang Yu does not move, you will be in Xianyang City. In addition, don't make any statement about this. My Qin Dynasty has not really taken over the Mauryan Dynasty. Naturally, the officials in the court should not know too much about the matter."

Of course, Han Xin knew that this was not a good thing. Originally, the entire Qin Dynasty, both the people and the officials and nobles, were immersed in the joy of capturing the Mauryan Dynasty. Now if you let them know, many places were occupied by others before they could be defeated. This has to be said to be a big blow to the majesty of the Qin Dynasty.

After the two discussed for a while, Ying Gao wrote several letters on the spot. Obviously, because of this news, many previous deployments were required to be changed. Those who should not know would not know what happened, but those who should know must know.

The first person to know was Xiang Yu, the Chanyu of the Xiongnu. According to Chen Ping's report, Xiang Yu, who Ying Gao already knew, was personally supervising the straight road from the Xiongnu to the Mauryan Dynasty through the Western Regions. After the straight road was built, the Xiongnu people were likely to move a large part of their tribes to the Western Regions.

Especially those tribes with elite cavalry, they can attack and defend whether they are against the original territory of the Huns or the Mauryan Dynasty.

Chen Ping had told Ying Gao before that they helped the Huns build straight roads. Even if they were conservative, it would take another three or four months to complete them. Therefore, Ying Gao was the first to write a letter to Xiang Yu. Although he knew the dragon and would definitely let Xiang Yu know about this, as an ally, he still had to let Xiang Yu know what he had planned for the time being. Otherwise, once the two of them did not synchronize in the Mauryan Dynasty, whether they won or lost, it would not be a good thing for the Qin Dynasty.

The second thing to tell is Fusu. The Western Regions are obviously developing rapidly under the control of Fusu. Some people from the Mauryan Dynasty have entered the construction of the Western Regions. Moreover, Fusu has equipped each future city with at least one scholar as a translator. While building cities with the people of the Great Qin Dynasty, the people of the Mauryan Dynasty are building cities with the people of the Great Qin, while learning the language and Qin laws of the Great Qin, the speed of integration is really fast.

But now that such a thing happened to the Mauryan Dynasty, Ying Gao must put some pressure on Fusu. The more than 100,000 troops stationed in the Mauryan Dynasty are actually the navy troops that have been absorbed in the coastal areas in the past two years. Including Longjie's 50,000 cavalry, 150,000 people are far from enough to sweep the entire Mauryan Dynasty. Even if they meet with the army of the Seleucid Dynasty, they may not necessarily have any advantage in number.

So Fusu wanted to advance something that was not so high in priority, that is, to build a barracks on the boundaries of the Western Regions.

If the climate and environment were suitable in the original state, there was no need to deliberately build a military camp. However, the Western Regions were different. The climate in the Western Regions was really a bit harsh. In fact, it was not suitable for long-term storage of troops in this era, and it would have some impact on the combat effectiveness of the soldiers to a greater or lesser extent.

However, there were obviously enemies on the periphery of the Mauryan Dynasty, and the hometown of the Qin Dynasty could not be ignored, so the Western Regions became a place where Ying Gao had to station troops, and there were fewer ones that could not be stationed.

In the letter to Fusu, Ying Gao informed Fusu from a distance, so that Fusu would pay more attention to the situation inside the Mauryan Dynasty, and he would immediately choose a site to build a military camp that could accommodate at least 200,000 soldiers. Although the conditions were not as harsh as the city, at least there must be water nearby and the soldiers would not be hungry. Needless to say, this was also a big project.

The letter sent with Fusu was naturally Ying Gao's instructions to Peng Yue and Sima Xin. Since he had decided to endure it for a while, he simply told Peng Yue and Sima Xin directly to set up defenses along the areas they had occupied around the city of Huafa City. As long as the enemies did not get close to the city where they were deployed, they simply ignored it.

However, it is still necessary to send scouts. Once the enemy wants to compete with the Qin and the Huns' army, they must also let them know the combat effectiveness of the Qin soldiers. Then, they will wait patiently in the city of Hua.

"Hmph, since the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty is so calm about this matter, we, the Huns, naturally, don't have to be very anxious. After all, the Qin Dynasty takes up most of the land of the Mauryan Dynasty."

When Xiang Yu received Ying Gao's letter, he had already learned about the situation facing the Mauryan Dynasty from the message Long Qi sent back. He originally thought whether Ying Gao would ask Han Xin to bring a 580,000 troops to the Mauryan Dynasty with him to kill and kill him. He was still very much looking forward to this matter.

But now, whether it is the construction of straight roads or immigration, there are many things that need to be kept and coordinated by themselves. Xiang Yu was quite confused about this matter, and Ying Gao's letter helped him make a temporary decision.

Although we can't teach the alien race some lessons from where we don't know where, Xiang Yu, more or less, has learned a little about Ying Gao's personality. This time, the things in his mouth were licked by people who didn't know that they had always appeared. Ying Gao must be holding his breath. This battle is a matter of time, but it's obvious that neither the Qin Dynasty nor the Huns are ready yet.

Although the battle cannot be fought for the time being, Xiang Yu was not idle either. He knew that the current Mauryan Dynasty had only 50,000 troops. Unlike Ying Gao, he did not conceal this from the leaders of various Hun tribes. According to his requirements, when the straight road was built, he was likely to rush to the Mauryan Dynasty with 50,000 to 100,000 cavalry.

The reason why we cannot determine the number now is because Xiang Yu has principles in his mind. When fighting in the Mauryan Dynasty, he must not be able to use all the people in his hands. Ying is 100,000, but Ying is 50,000, and Ying is 200,000, but he is 100,000. After all, the land of the Mauryan Dynasty is divided according to this ratio. If you do this yourself, Ying Gao will definitely not be able to find any problem.

After receiving Ying Gao's orders, Fusu, Peng Yue and others took action nervously. Although they did not receive any radical orders, the aura of war had begun to slowly condense again in the Western Regions and the Mauryan Kingdom. They all knew that what Ying Gao asked him to do must be for the preparation for the war. So they did not dare to neglect at all.

In sharp contrast to the tension between the Qin and the Huns were the generals who went to the Seleucid dynasty, who were the ones who had previously urged their monarch Antioch III to send troops.

When they led their army to the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty that they had never imagined before, they all regretted it, and regretted why they didn't send troops to attack the Mauryan Dynasty as soon as possible. Otherwise, the entire Mauryan Dynasty would definitely be from the Seleu Dynasty, and what happened to those aliens who came out of nowhere?

According to the initial order of Antioch III, they took almost ten days to capture several cities adjacent to the Seleucid Dynasty, and their soldiers suffered almost no losses, which made these warlike generals feel full of confidence. Seeing that there were still cities in the distance that were still occupied by no one, they could not hold back.
