Chapter 289 The Overlord's Choice

If others don’t understand Ying Gao, Xiao He must still understand it. What was Ying Gao’s most worried about before leaving? Isn’t it the situation of the Huns?

Xiao He knew that what Ying Gao was most afraid of was that the Huns learned that Ying Gao led his army to Jiangdong to quell the rebellion and tried their best to attack the Great Wall. Although Meng Tian had not allowed the Huns to take advantage of it for so many years, you have to admit that the Huns have been improving since the beginning of Manman. From the scattered soldiers and bravely harassment of tribes to the establishment of a country now, the strength will definitely be different from before.

However, Meng Tian's defenders went from 300,000 to 150,000 now. When Ying Gao led his army to no longer be in Xianyang, if the Huns really mobilized the whole country to fight Meng Tian, ​​Ying Gao would be in a loss of confidence.

So as soon as Ying Gao came back, Xiao He and Qin did not talk about their own family and told Ying Gao directly about the Huns.

"If you want to take it first, you must give it first! Zuo Xiang is afraid that he doesn't understand that Maodun... This guy will become a big trouble for my Daqin if he doesn't spend many years..."

"This... I heard for a long time that those people who were out of the Huns were not very proficient in strategies. Is the emperor's concerns a little..."

As soon as the words Ying Gao were said, Xiao He had reacted to what Ying Gao was worried about. But Xiao He also understood what kind of people the Huns were. Of course, he could not say that Ying Gao’s worries were unnecessary, but such catching things was really a bit different from the bold Ying Gao he had learned before.

When Ying Gaoyi heard this, he thought to himself that I couldn't tell you that this was what I saw in the history books of my previous life, and now the plot of the Huns is really based on the previous script.

So Ying Gao sighed slightly and said slowly: "After the Zhu family reported that the death of the Man Shanyu did not seem to be the accident claimed by the Huns to the outside world, but it is very likely to be killed by Maodun. Although we cannot be completely sure of this matter, we are afraid that it will be almost certain. Wang Man had indeed led his troops to the foot of the Great Qin Wall before, but it was still difficult to gain a little advantage in General Meng Tian's hands. This time, Maodun retreated from the Great Wall, which is probably a move to accumulate energy."

Of course, Xiao He had to believe Ying Gao's statement. Ying Gao obviously would not guess randomly about such a big thing. This made Xiao He, who felt good, also had a shadow in his heart.

As the saying goes, hooligans should not be scary, they are afraid that hooligans are educated.

In the eyes of Xiao He and many other Qin generals, the Huns before were just trying to rely on their mobile heads to harass the Qin border and seize some resources from the people of Qin.

Such a problem is really not a problem for the Qin Dynasty, which has such a wide territory. With Meng Tian in charge, and in recent years, the villages scattered outside the Great Wall have basically been transferred to the Great Wall, and the Huns have caused less and less losses to the people of the Qin Dynasty.

But if Maodun really looks like what Ying Gao said, then Daqin would have to pay more attention. Xiao He also understood this truth.

"Your Majesty means..."

If this is true, Xiao He’s previous relaxed response method and Meng Tian’s previous one would obviously not be used anymore. The decisions in this general direction would naturally have to be made by Ying Gao.

"Tell General Meng Tian to send more scouts to control the situation of the three adjacent forces of the Xiongnu, Yuezhi and Donghu, especially between the Donghu and the Xiongnu. According to what you said before, if the Donghu King's bullying of the Xiongnu has been escalated, I am afraid that there will be no peace between them..."

Ying Gao did not explain in detail, but through Ying Gao's statement, Xiao He had some of his own thoughts in his mind. If there was any war between the Huns and Donghu, it would definitely be a situation of dying. In addition, Yuezhi next to him, Maodun's strategy was almost revealed.

"Your Majesty, should we send troops to intervene in the situation in the north?"

"No, what I, the most lacking in Qin, is the ability to conquer war-going soldiers. If you lose tens of thousands of times unnecessary, you may be in trouble. You must know that Xiang Yu is not dead yet..."

It took Ying Gao and Xiao He a long time to discuss what strategy to adopt for the Huns. Obviously, it was not only known by the Qin Dynasty that the Huns had established an empire.

At this time, in the southwest of the Great Qin Dynasty, it was the land of Bashu. It was neither Guanzhong nor the old land of the six Guandong countries before. For the Great Qin Dynasty, it was also a place with a large land and sparsely populated area.

Moreover, the land of Bashu is mostly mountains, rivers and swamps, and even the survival of the people is very difficult, let alone marching and fighting here.

But even in a place surrounded by streams between the mountains and rivers, a team of people were camping, and in the largest camp, the topic of the discussion was also related to the Huns.

"What Yafu meant...I'm going to join those alien races?"

The name of the Huns was spoken from the mouth of the old man who thought his hair and beard were white. Such an old man was nothing but Fan Zeng who was defeated in Shouchun a few months ago.

The person sitting in the main seat of the camp was already losing weight, but he was still tall and his armor was wiped brightly. Although there was a hint of stubble under his chin, Xiang Yu was still clean and tidy.

Since the day he was persuaded by Fan Zeng, Zhang Liang and others and led his army to flee Shouchun, they have almost never stopped marching.

Although the Qin Dynasty was really vast, they were very familiar with the terrain in the south. It was very easy to find a forest that could temporarily avoid the Qin army.

But Xiang Yu obviously had his plans. The fact that he was occupying the mountain and becoming the king was not suitable for him now. If he wanted to continue to live and continue to find some discomfort for Ying Gao, he had to find another way.

In this way, they did not stop in Nanhai County and Changsha, which had been controlled by Fusu, and walked westward.

Sometimes, the most dangerous place is indeed the safest place. The land of Bashu is not very far from Xianyang, but Ying Gao really didn't expect that Xiang Yu led his 10,000 troops almost walked a route that was completely parallel to him. When you head west, others headed west.

Just as they finally set up camps like a decent place, resting for a few days in a place surrounded by mountains where it was almost impossible to find, Fan Zeng proposed to Xiang Yu and his generals, a name familiar but unfamiliar to them, Jiangdong children.

Xiang Yu, who had experienced this series of setbacks, was no longer as reckless as before. If he had heard a little bit of Fan Zeng's intention to make them surrender to the Huns, he would have been furious at that time.

But now, although some of the generals under his command have a little bad eyes, Xiang Yu just asked this as usual.

Fan Zeng seemed to have known Xiang Yu could ask this question for a long time. He smiled slightly and touched his already very white beard. Then he looked at Zhang Liang beside him, and finally looked at Xiang Yu, who had a hint of pain and a hint of expectation in his eyes.

It took Zhang Liang and Long Qi to catch up with Xiang Yu and their large troops a month later. Although they were not able to bring back one of the two Jiangdong children, they escaped safely and were so happy that Xiang Yu hadn't fallen asleep for two or three days.

After Zhang Liang returned, he spent almost every day with Fan Zeng. The entire Qin Lang was just that big place. Where to go and what to do. This was definitely a very difficult problem for Xiang Yu, who was not a big goal but was definitely not small.

In the end, the two agreed that there was no place in the Central Plains where Xiang Yu was, and there was no airtight wall in the world. No matter which county you went to, you would definitely develop and continue to grow. Otherwise, what would be the point of running out?

So if the ultimate goal is to rebel against Qin, you can't show off in the territory of Qin in the current situation. Otherwise, when Fusu in the south really takes full control of the army of Nanhai County, once Xiang Yu is discovered, there is no way to go to heaven and earth.

So they couldn't stay in the Central Plains anymore, so the two of them still focused on the Nanyue, Yelang, Xiongnu and Donghu.

Among them, the one closest to Bashu where they are now is Yelang.

But Fan Zeng knew that, a hundred years ago, King Xiang of Chu had sent a general to attack Yelang, but he thought it would be a lot of effort, but the general had just led his army to Yelang's country, and Yelang surrendered directly.

After that, the Yelang King also surrendered and paid tribute to King Xiang of Chu, and became a vassal state of Chu. Before that, the people in the Central Plains had no idea that there was such a country in the southwest of the Central Plains.

What does this mean? It means that Yelang is a backboneless country regardless of whether the national strength is available or not. The place where you Xiang Yu wants to go must be a place where you want to destroy the Qin Dynasty. Although Yelang has a good geographical location, even the State of Chu dare not challenge, let alone the Qin Dynasty, which has been unified now.

Fan Zeng believed that Ying Gao had no energy to care about him at all now, otherwise, he would have been like a bear who would kneel down before his troops arrived at the city.

As for Yuezhi and Donghu, these two places are not bad at all, and they are on both sides of the Huns. According to their geographical location, they seem to be slightly stronger than the Huns.

But Fan Zeng, who is knowledgeable, knew that the Yuezhi tribe members were only very different from those of the Central Plains, and they were obviously not of the same breed.
