Chapter 335 How do you feel

After Meng Ao defected to Qin, he went to Shangjun to guard the border, defended the Xiongnu, and ascended to Xianyang to build up the foundation of the Meng family in Qin.

After three generations, the Meng family had a high reputation in Shangjun. It is no exaggeration to say that Shangjun is the basic foundation of the Meng family.

Shangjun faces the Henan land occupied by the Huns in the west, and faces the Three Jins along the river flowing south to the east.

In the early Warring States Period, Wei State took the lead in rising, leading its army to attack Hexi and seize the entire Shangjun. It was not until the end of King Huiwen of Qin that Qin completely took Shangjun back from Wei State.

The land of Shangjun is not very fertile, with a large number of pastures, and is an important horse-raising base in the Qin State. Shangjun has always supplied war horses to Guanzhong to exchange for food and food supplies.

Shangjun had insufficient arable land and could not be self-sufficient in food. Compared with Guanzhong, the population was not large. Because of this, the monarchs of Qin had not much concern about Shangjun.

"Meng Tian, ​​I didn't expect that when I saw you again, I would be Marquis of Wuwei when I left in Shangjun."

In the county magistrate's mansion, the new county magistrate Bu Xing greeted Meng Tian and his group and kept joking.

"How do you feel when you become the youngest Chehou in Qin State?"

"What else can happen? Compared with the past, there is not much difference." Meng Tian shook his head and smiled.

Ying Zheng named Meng Tian the Marquis of Wuwei, and had an independent mansion, land and money reward. Meng Tian did not value these external things much. When he stayed in Xianyang, Meng Tian stayed in the coin yard and stayed in the mansion. Without participating in the affairs of the court, his life was dull.

"You did a good job and didn't get carried away." Bu Xing nodded, "The leader is most afraid of being proud of his achievements and being arrogant, and not taking the world seriously."

Bu Xing read history well and knew very well. Many talented generals in history were not defeated by the enemy, but by the suspicion of the king.

Xian Zhen of Jin planned the Battle of Chengpu and defeated Zi Yu, a famous general of Chu. After returning to the country with victory, Xian Zhen thought he was superior and did not take other generals of Jin seriously. He even spitted in front of the king and eventually died at the hands of the Rong people.

"What can I be proud of my military achievements? If I want to be a marquis, I can become a marquis. The current title should be above marquis."

Only when Meng Tian truly participated in the first unification war in Chinese history did Meng Tian realize that annexation of the world was simple to say, but very difficult to do.

The seven heroes of the Warring States Period, and the country existed for hundreds of years and formed its own culture and national identity. Qin went out of Hangu in the east and conquered the six Shandong countries. It was not so much to unify China, but to conquer the six Shandong countries.

Accepting unity from the heart is a saying that will only be found in later generations.

At this time, the Qianshou people in the world had not yet formed the concept of great unification.

It is indeed very difficult for Ying Zheng to lead Qin to do this.

"Our Majesty is really a wise man, and it's rare to see it in five hundred years."

Bu Xing did not have frequent contact with Ying Zheng, but witnessing what Ying Zheng did was admirable.

As the two of them said, they turned a few corridors and took Jing Su, Gan Luo and Su Jiao to the study room in the county magistrate's mansion.

The study is five steps long and three steps wide. There is a long table in the middle, with a silk cloth map of Henan land on it.

"After I became the county magistrate, I had been sending people to collect terrain information on Henan to complete this map." After several people sat down, Bu Xing first introduced.

"Shijian is stationed in Yulin and guards the Great Wall, and cannot come in person. This military meeting will be decided by us."

Meng Tian lowered his head and looked at the map on the table carefully, which marked the pastures, salt ponds, mountains and rivers, and it was obvious at a glance. It can be seen that the geomancers who made the map had put in a lot of effort.

"Fan's answer, news came from Nuchi that Touman Shanyu had sent the Right Xian King south to attack Henan." Jing Su took out a yellow chess piece from his arms and placed it in the direction of Beishan on the map.

The Youxian King of the Huns was located in the north of Yinshan Mountain and was usually responsible for defending the Yuezhi. Over the past few years, the Yuezhi fought several battles with the Xiongnu, but the Yuezhi people did not take any advantage. After the two sides agreed to peace, the pressure on the Youxian King was much less.

"If the Huns cannot be resolved this time, the Huns will become a major problem in the Central Plains."

Ganluo frowned and pointed at the blank in the north of Henan: "For the past ten years, Qin has been concentrating on attacking the six countries in Shandong and successfully annexed the world. But the Huns are not idle either. As far as I know, the Huns are divided into many tribes. Ten years ago, many tribes did not obey the orders of the Shanyu Court. But now, the Touman Shanyu unified the entire Huns."

"In other words, while the Central Plains completed unification, the Huns also completed internal unification."

When Gan Luo reminded him, Bu Xing and Jing Su showed a look of worry on their faces.

"You don't have to worry too much. As long as the Central Plains is not in chaos, the Huns will not cause any storms." Meng Tian was not worried much, and seemed confident.

The strength of the Qin army was far stronger than that of the Huns at this time.

The Huns at this time were far from reaching the period of full victory.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Huns produced a Maodun Shanyu. Maodun led the Hun cavalry to attack and destroy the Donghu, expel the Yuezhi, swept the Western Regions, and unify the entire northern grassland.

Facing such a Hun, the Central Plains countries will really feel unprecedented pressure.

You should know that Emperor Wu of Han used the whole country's strength to defeat the Huns throughout his life, but only severely damaged the Huns.

"The general is right, the Huns have nothing to fear at all. This time, our army went out to the frontier and completely defeated the Huns."

Su Jiao sat aside, rubbing his palms, eager to try.

He has been in charge of Shangjun for a long time, stabilized the rear of Qin, and avoided harassment by the Huns. Su Jiao and Shujian did a pretty good job.

While the two were guarding Shangjun, there were occasional frictions between the Qin people and the Xiongnu herders, but neither of them expanded the conflict. I guess, I had been waiting very anxiously as Meng Hu, Li Bi and others made contributions and won the title, Su Jiao, and Shejian had long been waiting.

"It is difficult to completely defeat the Huns. However, killing the Huns as much as possible is the most important thing."

Meng Tian spoke up and set the tone of this battle.

The grassland north of the Yellow River is flat and vast, and it is very convenient for the Huns to escape. Once the Huns escape into the northern part of the Mo, the Qin army will fight the Huns again, and the cost will be high.

"Li Bi, where are the cavalry led by Luo Jia now?"

When fighting with the Huns, cavalry was indispensable. Meng Tian had already asked Ying Zheng for the order to transfer Li Bi and Luo Jia to the Shangjun.

"According to Li Bi and Luo Jia's marching speed, the two of them should have arrived in Yuanyang now." Jing Su replied.

Yuanyang is located on the edge of the Heihe River in Yunzhong County, north of the river. Out of the clouds, you can go straight into the grassland.

"Appoint Li Bi and Luo Jia to be careful of seclusion. When the Huns' army enters Henan, when our army counterattacks, Li Bi and Luo Jia will break the way back from the clouds!"
