Chapter 489

Long before leaving, Han Xin realized that there would definitely be a big problem in language after the Mauryan Dynasty, but it would be unreasonable to send people to learn language in advance. Doing so would reveal the Qin Dynasty's plan in advance. In the end, Han Xin did not think about how Qi Yi solved this problem. He wanted to bring several outstanding people from various schools to go out with them, but one was that the outstanding people had not yet been in place.

The two are that their troops were a bit too dangerous in the early stage. Even the soldiers under their command could be protected, let alone scholars. Although Ying Gao asked these scholars to go to the Mauryan Dynasty, they repeatedly reminded Han Xin in their letters about their safety. The problem now is that they don’t understand what they are saying. Even if there are scholars, it will be useless.

"Although I have some verbal inability, there are naturally other ways to let them inform me of what I need. When I arrived at the Huns, although I found someone who knew the language of the Huns, I really didn't understand the words of the Huns. In this regard, I should be much better than the general."

When Han Xin thought about it, he thought that what Xiang Yu said was really reasonable. When Xiang Yu first arrived at the Huns, he must have had no language to the Huns. Although because the Huns highly praised the culture and life of the Qin Dynasty, many people with high status in the Huns would say more or less the words of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu really had more say than Han Xin about how to balance the two languages ​​and how to communicate with the other party when the language was not understood.

"Okay, since Shanyu can solve the problem of language barriers, this matter is still very reliable. Today, we will set up camp here for the time being. While resting, we will send powerful people to the village to see if we can plunder a Mauryan dynasty into their camp without knowing it!"

After telling Xiang Yu about this, Xiang Yu ordered his men to set up camp for a rest, Han Xin immediately returned to his pioneer camp.

That night, Han Xin not only sent a team of three elite cavalry of the Great Qin Dynasty to rob one of them in the village ahead, but also sent one of them to turn back to the other side of the mountain to inform Lu Jia of the situation here. He knew that when Lu Jia learned about the situation here, he would write a letter to Ying Gao to report their situation here.

Because of the special geographical location between the Mauryan Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty, if you want to send the message back as fast as possible, you can only pass the three channels below the mountains as fast as possible.

But even so, Han Xin knew that when Ying Gao received their first news, Ying Gao had already fought with the main force of the Mauryan Dynasty. At that time, he could only wait until the war had temporarily achieved a result before continuing to report like Ying Gao. Otherwise, if he was sent back halfway, Han Xin also understood that with Ying Gao's temperament, if he did this, he would probably be beaten to death by Ying Gao when he returned.

Lu Jia would stay on the other end of the mountain range, either actively collecting, or waiting for news from Han Xin and Xiang Yu, and then sending the news to Daqin.

Lu Jia is an extremely smart person. He understood that although the environment on this large area of ​​barren land is definitely incomparable to other counties of the Qin Dynasty, it will definitely become a very important area of ​​the Qin Dynasty in the end, carrying the role of an important path from Xianyang to the Mauryan Dynasty.

Because there will be almost certain casualties when sailing on the sea in this era, land is the most willing method for everyone to take. After Han Xin and Xiang Yu left, Lu Jia immediately wrote a letter, on the one hand, saying that Han Xin and Xiang Yu were successfully set off, and that he had discovered that there should be no enemy news as soon as he left.

On the other hand, I made a very bold suggestion to Ying Gao, that is, to build a straight road from Xianyang City to Bashu, and then to this mountain range. Although this may be a big project and will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, it will become a project that will benefit the present and the future.

Especially when the Great Qin took down the Mauryan Dynasty, it is very necessary to make the news between the Great Qin and the Mauryan Dynasty clear, a straight road is very necessary, especially when there are almost straight roads from Xianyang City to various important counties. If this matter is done, it will not seem very abrupt.

Calculating the days, Ying Gao knew that all three armies should have left. Ying Gao felt that he would have welcomed a period of waiting with five ridges and six beasts, but not long after, he found that Lu Jia had disappointed him. The facts of the city proved that those who dared to volunteer to explore the desolate land were not good at all, at least their minds would not be idle.

Building a straight road from Xianyang to Bashu, and then to the mountains in the barren land is really something Ying Gao had never thought of before.

Ying Gao didn't expect that it was not that this matter was just not working, but in the past year or so, his energy was almost all his attention on the Mauryan Dynasty. For the Qin Dynasty, he would pay attention to whether there was news about Hu Hai. Other things were carried out step by step under the surveillance of Xiao He and the others according to the Qin law.

Lu Jia's proposal gave Ying Gao some new ideas. Before he could explore the barren land, the land of Bashu was always ignored by Ying Gao. Logically speaking, it was already a very remote place and the roads were difficult to walk on. Although the land was very rich, the roads were different, so the population there was not very large.

Not only that, there are straight roads to many places in Xianyang City, but there are really no straight roads to Bashu, because Ying Gao built straight roads based on the number of people that can radiate. In this way, places like Bashu can only lean back.

But it’s different now. Half of the desolate land now has to be owned by the Qin Dynasty. In the future, waves of troops and other things will pass through Bashu to the Mauryan Dynasty.

After taking over the Mauryan Dynasty, some of the specialties and populations there will definitely be moved to the land of the Qin Dynasty. Although it is unknown how long it will take to get the results of Han Xin and Xiang Yu, he is still idle and it is not impossible to do this. At least the straight road from Xianyang City to Bashu is not exhausted. It is enough to rely on the people who serve in counties along the way.

When he learned that Han Xin and Xiang Yu had set out smoothly and that there would be no war yet, Ying Gao found Xiao He and Meng Yi after his own arguments and told him about the fact that he wanted to build a straight road from Xianyang to Bashu.

Xiao He and Meng Yi were both very supportive of this matter. Not to mention anything else, when the First Emperor was in power, the corvee service of the people of the Qin Dynasty was already so heavy. Isn’t it still the right way to build straight roads, the imperial tombs, and the palaces should be built? At that time, no official dared to stand up and say no, and Ying Gao’s serious proposal naturally did not dare to refute.

Anyone who knows Ying Gao knows that in the current Qin Dynasty, whoever stands up for the sake of becoming famous, would probably be the one who will be the one who will build the straight road from Xianyang City to Bashu.

So on the third day after Lu Jia's news was sent to Xianyang City, the order to build a straight road between Xianyang City and Bashu went out of Xianyang City, because the Qin Dynasty has now reduced a lot of corvee policies, and such a project has not caused much trouble among the people.

However, some scholars with a little bit of mind talked privately while drinking, saying that the Qin Dynasty's battle against the Mauryan Dynasty was still very smooth, otherwise the emperor would not have been so anxious to build the straight road. Although it may take at least a year to completely repair the straight road, it is self-evident that the convenience of the land of Bashu after it is repaired is self-evident.

Ying Gao, who was waiting for the news of the war, was undoubtedly a little irritable, so he had to find an outlet to vent his mentality. Now, the construction of the Supervisor's straight road has become his compulsory course. He even went to the outskirts of Xianyang City on the first day of construction, which made the Supervisor's officials very cautious, fearing that what he did was wrong and that the emperor discovered that it was a head-lost thing.

At this time, Xiang Yu and Han Xin, who were touching Ying Gao's heart, were not at all dangerous, but they also encountered a big and small problem.

After sending a team of three people to capture the local people, Han Xin and Xiang Yu have been discussing various possibilities how they should deal with it.

During such discussions, Xiang Yu knew that he could no longer have a single-man show as he did in the Huns' court, because if he wanted to truly win this large-scale war with the lowest cost, he had to consider the three armies as Ying Gao thought.

According to their previous estimates, the biggest possibility is that they are now on the border of the Mauryan Dynasty, like Yelang of the Great Qin Dynasty. The capital of the Mauryan Dynasty should be located in the center of the entire dynasty, so if they want to attract the attention of the people in the capital, they have to create some momentum in several places on their border.

But a few days later, the three-person team really brought back a people from the Mauryan Dynasty, which made their plans a little confusing.

After seeing this guy from the Mauryan Dynasty, Han Xin and Xiang Yu frowned because Xiang Yu knew that the appearances of the Huns and the Qin people were slightly different, but that was just a little different appearance. To put it bluntly, it was caused by the differences in the dietary structures of the Huns and the Central Plains people.

But the people from the Mauryan Dynasty placed in front of them were not just different in appearance. From their figure to their skin color, he made a huge difference to the people of the Qin Dynasty, so that Han Xin and Xiang Yu looked at him as if they had seen some unknown creature. They looked at each other several times before they recovered. When they recovered, the man had long been scared to faint by them.

"How did you catch this person back? Did you alarm others?"

After discovering that the appearance of the people from the Mauryan Dynasty and the people of the Qin Dynasty was so different, Han Xin asked directly, "Nothing else, the target of the three-person team he sent was really conspicuous. If he met the people from the Mauryan Dynasty, he would basically know that he didn't know us at all. According to common sense, they would definitely inform their local officials about this matter, so they were not far from being exposed."

"I have been observing this person for a long time. I am afraid that there is no family and I don't communicate much with others. I often go around the village. I will catch him one night, as if no one else knows about this."

After hearing the answers of the people under his command, Han Xin and Xiang Yu all breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to start interrogating this guy who seemed to be an ordinary Mauryan dynasty.

Because Xiang Yu had already praised Haikou in front of Han Xin before, Han Xin consciously withdrew from this matter and handed it all over to Xiang Yu.

After Xiang Yu woke up this man, he asked him to speak. What he said was indeed a lot of things that he couldn't understand. It was not the dialect of any place in the Central Plains of the Qin Dynasty, nor the language of the Huns, nor the language of the Yuezhi and the Donghu, and it was a thousand miles apart from those.

Such an interrogation is undoubtedly a major project. Han Xin waited outside for more than an hour, but what he came was Xiang Yu's suggestion that he would go back to his tent and have a little sleep, and wait until it was dawn tomorrow. When Han Xin heard this, he could only go to bed according to Xiang Yu's suggestion.

The next morning, Han Xin still came to Xiang Yu's tent early, but Xiang Yu was already sleeping soundly in the tent. According to Xiang Yu's guards, Xiang Yu had been interrogating the people of the captured Mauryan Dynasty last night, and he didn't fall asleep until an hour ago.

Han Xin knew that Xiang Yu was the soul of this army. Staying up late in such a harsh climate would definitely have a great impact on his body. So he did not wake Xiang Yu up immediately. Instead, he learned about the situation of the people of the Mauryan Dynasty with Xiang Yu's deputy general, while waiting for Xiang Yu to wake up.

After waiting for a long time, Xiang Yu finally woke up after he had enough time. He obviously didn't know Han Xin's arrival, but got up immediately and wanted his guard to call Han Xin.
