Chapter 487

Even Xiang Yu, who had experienced many wars since he was a teenager, began to sigh at the wonders of nature after he walked through this barren land. If it weren't for the many reminders in Ying Gao's letters, his men would not have known how much they would have lost.

The Xiongnu's ability to adapt to the environment was obviously better than that of the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, but even so, they still underestimated the environment of this land. Ying Gao asked the Qin people to explore the land from beginning to end, and even the territory from this mountain range to the Xiongnu was explored under the leadership of the Qin Dynasty. This made Xiang Yu admire Ying Gao very much.

This time when the team returned to the Huns to pick up Xiang Yu, he asked in detail the deputy general he appointed, and finally found that the five hundred people he sent were just a precaution. The real role were the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty under the command of Lu Jia and the craftsmen sent by the Qin Dynasty. Under such circumstances, the five hundred people sent by Xiang Yu eventually lost dozens of them, and the proportion of the losses was incomparable to that of the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty.

This result made Xiang Yu see the sincerity of the Qin Dynasty, because now, when he was really busy, the 20,000 troops of the Qin Dynasty had already been camping here for a long time.

Moreover, through the mouths of his people, Xiang Yu also knew that the Qin people used two catapults transported from Xianyang City to dig out two caves. All of these two caves could accommodate three or four cavalry riding horses, or passing by in a carriage.

This means that the conditions for sending troops are now met, and as long as you arrive, you can set out at any time.

Another most important point is that according to the agreement between Xiang Yu and Ying Gao, since the path to the Mauryan Dynasty has been found, although Xiang Yu’s five hundred people did not play any big role in this, half of this large area of ​​barren land belongs to Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu was not in a hurry to do this. He knew that Ying Gao would never cheat on him because of such a place. His Huns were not favored, let alone such a place. When the Mauryan Dynasty was truly taken down, it was time for the two to truly divide the land.

At that time, only the Qin Dynasty or the Huns could get real benefits. Xiang Yu would not be confused by these small profits in front of him. His eyes were quite long-term. At this point, he was the closest to Ying Gao's idea.

Xiang Yu was a person who was decisive in his work. After arriving here, the 80,000 cavalry under his command also went on a long journey, and they were all very tired and had no energy at all.

Under such circumstances, Xiang Yu asked his soldiers to quickly set up camp and cultivate their spirits, and while he arrived at Han Xin's tent, he certainly knew that when he arrived here, Han Xin and his 20,000 troops would join forces with his troops. Only when they worked sincerely could they achieve the final victory in the battle with such a powerful and unknown dynasty as the Mauryan Dynasty.

"I wonder what happened to the two naval armies in Daqin. What will happen to us? Did the emperor of Daqin have decided?"

After meeting with Han Xin and Xiang Yu, Han Xin, filled Xiang Yu with a bottle of hot wine. Under such conditions, this was more fascinating than any other jade dew nectar. After the two drank a little, Xiang Yu directly started his topic.

He handed over the Xiongnu royal court to Ji Bu and Yu Ziqi to manage, and he brought Long Jie to attack the Mauryan Dynasty, which was actually very risky. Although Ji Bu and Yu Ziqi had no problem with their loyalty to themselves, the Huns only recognized Xiang Yu. If nothing happened to the Huns during this period, it would be fine. If there was any change in the Huns, it would not be able to suppress Ji Bu and Yu Ziqi.

So Xiang Yu's idea of ​​this battle was to fight quickly, but he knew nothing about the Mauryan Dynasty and almost everything had to be understood by the Qin Dynasty, so he could only stabilize Han Xin and strive to reach a certain agreement with his old acquaintance.

After hearing Xiang Yu's words, Han Xin did not answer immediately, but picked up a letter from him, which was the letter that Ying Gao had written to him before. Of course, this was just the part that Ying Gao wanted Han Xin to read, and not the part that he wanted Lu Jia to read.

"This is the letter from the Lord, so I just gave Shanyu a look. I thought that what Shanyu wanted to see was included in this letter."

Although he didn't know what Han Xin was playing, Xiang Yu felt the sincerity on Han Xin's face at this time, so he took the letter and found that it was indeed the handwriting of the Emperor Ying Gao of the Qin Dynasty. It was not only because Ying Gao had written a letter to Xiang Yu before, but Ying Gao's unique font, which really refreshed Xiang Yu.

In the letter, Ying Gao did indeed send troops, and there was also the reason for sending troops at this time. However, after reading it, Xiang Yu's brows stood up unconsciously.

In the letter written by Ying Gao to Han Xin, although he had already told Han Xin why this arrangement was arranged, he finally pointed out whether Han Xin would tell him the truth based on Xiang Yu's performance.

Seeing that Xiang Yu had a look of anger on his face, Han Xinxin secretly called out badly. To be honest, he directly read Ying Gao's letter to Xiang Yu this time. He was playing psychological warfare. He felt that Xiang Yu would appreciate his personality that was not hidden at all, so he should not have any questions about Ying Gao's arrangements. But now, based on the expression on Xiang Yu's face, he had no clue in his heart.

"Hmph, with such an arrangement, who is my Shanyu in the eyes of the Emperor of Qin? Although I have only met the Emperor of Qin once, I should understand what kind of temperament of the Emperor of Qin!

"This... Shanyu listens to my words. The emperor did this because he was afraid that he would destroy the mutual trust between the Qin and the Huns. This was told by Han Xin to Shanyu and the Pan. If Shanyu was angry, Han Xin would be willing to apologize to Shanyu."

"Why do you want to apologize? The Emperor of the Qin Dynasty regards me waiting for a hundred thousand troops as elite troops and confronts the people of the Mauryan Dynasty on the front battlefield. That is worthy of my Hun cavalry, not to mention the 20,000 Great Qin troops of General Han Xin. Why did he think that Ben Shanyu could be angry about it? Once Ben Shanyu arrives on the battlefield, the more he puts me in a strong place in the enemy, the more he can prove the ability of my soldiers. Since he decided to attack the Mauryan Dynasty with you, Da Qin, wouldn't Ben Shanyu be a petty person? If the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty really wants to harm Ben Shanyu, how could Ben Shanyu not see it?"

"Ah? I think so, it is really a blessing for my Great Qin and the Huns!"

Han Xin did not expect that Xiang Yu was so angry. At that time, he picked up a bottle of wine, then drank it all, and regarded it as a pity to Xiang Yu. When Xiang Yu saw this situation, he drank a full drink, but he was still chatting about Ying Gao's despise himself.

Such dissatisfaction is naturally not a big deal. Han Xin persuaded him a little, then had a few drinks with Xiang Yu, and then changed the topic. The two finally began to talk about this battle.

Judging from Xiang Yu's reaction, he obviously recognized the time of this expedition. This first problem was solved invisibly. The next thing was how Xiang Yu's 80,000 people and Han Xin's 20,000 people merged into a team, or how to cooperate.

After chatting with Xiang Yu for a while, Han Xin felt relieved at that time. Although Xiang Yu was a cautious person in the Xiongnu royal court and was devoted to the development of the Xiongnu and his subordinates, when he was about to start a war against alien races like the Mauryan Dynasty, Xiang Yu immediately became a war madman again.

In Xiang Yu's opinion, since he had 80,000 people under his command, he had to assume most of the offensive responsibilities, and Han Xin brought 20,000 people, that is, he could just take a little help from him.

But Han Xin obviously didn't think so. He brought out his 20,000 people, which was to make extraordinary achievements, especially when they wanted to attract the main army of the Mauryan Dynasty first. Han Xin's idea was that he could not make less contributions than Peng Yue and Sima Xin. After all, these two people were his deputy generals or younger brothers.

Finally, after the two men's fight, Han Xin's 20,000 people and 10,000 of the 80,000 Huns formed a vanguard team. Leaded by Han Xin, Xiang Yu and most of the soldiers in the central army, and Long Qi and 5,000 troops were escorting food and supplies behind.

This plan was the result of Xiang Yu and Han Xin taking a slight step back, but it hurt Long Qi. Long Qi originally made a guarantee with Xiang Yu and wanted to fight a big battle, but in this way, he could only watch the fun behind him. After Xiang Yu confirmed these things with Han Xin, he was not worried about anything else, just how he should appease Long Qi.

According to Han Xin's suggestion, because there was more than half a month before Ying Gao's departure date, Xiang Yu's primary task was to restore his 80,000 cavalry under his command to recover his strength, and strive to achieve the best state when they lead to the Mauryan Dynasty. After all, after they arrived in other people's territory, they were likely to face the Mauryan Dynasty with much more than 100,000 troops.

Not only that, Han Xin and Xiang Yu also decided to send one or two smart sergeants the next day to go out through the dug secret passage when the moon was dark and the wind was high, and see what the situation was like on the opposite side.

If there were people directly, they would naturally be ready to go out and fight, but if it was like this one, it would be a large desolate place, they would have to think of another solution.

In fact, Ying Gao asked them to set out early because they were afraid that if they encountered a large area of ​​barren land, it would take a month to explore the real land of the Mauryan Dynasty, and in the end it would be a trap.

After almost the middle of the night of negotiations, when Xiang Yu returned to his tent with a yawn, almost everything about the expedition was decided. Xiang Yu discovered for the first time that it was still very reliable to do things with Han Xin. This made him think again, wasn’t Han Xin the mistake he had made several years ago? Although he can still be a pioneer for himself, he represents the Great Qin.

When Xiang Yu and Han Xin were discussing their departure, Peng Yue and Sima Xin also received a letter from Ying Gao on the sea to the east and on the sea to the south of Nanhai County. Their preparation time was slightly longer than that of Han Xin and Xiang Yu. However, after so long preparations before, they had already been full of confidence in this expedition. Although they would have experienced at least one month of sea navigation, they were very confident with the charts that Ying Gao confirmed in their hands.

In the letters to them, Ying Gao and the two of them also revealed their clues and told them that when they landed on the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, most of the Mauryan army might have been attracted by Han Xin and Xiang Yu. What they had to do was very simple, that is, to find out where the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty was, and then the troops divided into two groups to attack Huanglong, and at the fastest speed, they captured or killed the monarch of the Mauryan Dynasty.

Ying Gao did not stipulate to them that Sharica must be brought to him alive, but he also told them that if this guy was killed, he would definitely bring some traces to Ying Gao. Ying Gao could not know anything. Just say that you killed the monarch of the Mauryan Dynasty. No one would believe this, because in the face of great contributions, some people could do anything.

This result is indeed different from what Peng Yue and Sima Xin imagined. According to the previous arrangement, they always thought that they were the one who resisted the Mauryan army in front, and Han Xin and Xiang Yu were the ones who sneaked into other people's nests.

But in this way, the pressure on their shoulders was much smaller. In addition, they might take down the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty and capture the monarch of the Mauryan Dynasty alive. The passion of the two men reached its peak for a while, and they were ready to wait for the day of departure, because if they set out one day earlier, they would be able to reach their destination one day earlier.
