Chapter 497 Amazing news

"In three days, if the scouts sent before still cannot return, you and I will continue to attack the next city. Otherwise, once Sima Xin and Peng Yue lead the army to attack the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty, the navy led by them will definitely not be able to defeat hundreds of thousands of Mauryan soldiers. In this way, our three armies will most likely be defeated by the Mauryan Dynasty one by one."

When there were only three days left for the scouts to return, Han Xin finally couldn't help it. He had to let Xiang Yu know the importance of this matter. They could not wait stupidly. They had to use a more fierce offensive to let the power of the Mauryan Dynasty know that the invasion this time was definitely not easy to mess with. Of course, they could only use 30,000 cavalry, otherwise their previous plan would not be successful.

"What the general said coincides with me. Please don't worry, since they have set a deadline for them, if there is no accident, they will return within the deadline regardless of whether there is a result."

Xiang Yu of course knew that Han Xin was telling him what he was really worried about this issue at this time. After all, the army was dominated by the Huns. If Xiang Yu took into account his soldiers, it would be a good idea to let Sima Xin and Peng Yue die first. If Yi Yu really thought so, Han Xin would have to prepare early.

But Xiang Yu obviously didn't think so. Ying Gao proposed a strategy to destroy the Mauryan Dynasty at the lowest cost. Xiang Yu had long recognized this matter. What he wanted Han Xin to know was that since he had already recognized this matter, he would definitely not change it easily.

By the third day, Han Xin was already integrating his 30,000 vanguard cavalry, and he had ordered people to inquire. There was a city about 300 miles away from this city, which was about the same size as this city. Moreover, the city should be closer to the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty according to the direction in which he asked before.

Just as Han Xin had already started preparing food and grass, news suddenly came from outside the city gate that the team of scouts sent out had returned. Although they came back at the time point, they had finally returned as Han Xin's previous orders.

After these people entered the city, Han Xin directly found the two scholars who followed them. Because they were involved in accurately identifying the information they wanted in languages ​​they didn't understand at all, the soldiers were basically useless. Whether they could get the desired results depends on these two scholars.

When Han Xin saw the two of them staring with their round eyes and excited expressions, he felt moved, saying that there was probably a way to do this, so he hurriedly found Xiang Yu.

"You have found out what news after all these days, and you still don't say it quickly to me and Shanyu? If you don't return and my other two armies of Daqin have suffered the losses in vain, the Lord will definitely kill you and others to apologize!"

Although he knew that Ying Gao would definitely not be able to do such a thing, Han Xin could not help but move out Ying Gao to scare the two young men, because he had discovered it a long time ago that people didn't seem to take him, the general of the Qin Dynasty, too seriously. When they came out, they were summoned by the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty himself, rather than working hard for Han Xin.

"General, I waited for the nearby news and found a very important clue. The Mauryan Dynasty actually knew the existence of my Great Qin. It is rumored that tens of thousands of troops have been mobilized to the beach. Warships are being built in full swing these days. It is said that the emperors of the Mauryan Dynasty have set a date and will set off once they arrive. This matter is now known to almost everyone among the nobles of the Mauryan Dynasty..."

This news was really something Han Xin and Xiang Yu didn't expect at all. Ying Gao knew about the existence of the Mauryan Dynasty. They had already thought it was very magical, but they never expected that they were just a little earlier than the Mauryan Dynasty. If you don't come to attack others, they will attack you.

But Han Xin and Xiang Yu are not people who listen to things on the surface. When they heard that the emperor of the Mauryan Dynasty had not even completed the warships, they decided to send troops. This was simply too hasty. Moreover, a mere tens of thousands of naval troops might have less than 100,000 people who wanted to capture the Qin Dynasty after they actually arrived at the territory of the Qin Dynasty. This was simply a dream.

So they made a judgment almost instantly that the people of the Mauryan Dynasty had a very large understanding of the Qin Dynasty, while Ying Gao's understanding of the Mauryan Dynasty was very accurate. Compared with the two, this news made Han Xin and Xiang Yu even more confident.

"In other words, the main reason why the emperor of the Mauryan Dynasty did not rush to send troops to wipe out the two of us was that his attention was to send troops to the Qin Dynasty? Isn't that after the two generals Sima Xin and Peng Yue landed on the sea, they would most likely face the tens of thousands of troops who were preparing to go to the Qin Dynasty?"

Xiang Yu looked at Han Xin and said his guesses.

"You have heard of any useful news and said it all."

After hearing this, Han Xin frowned and nodded at Xiang Yu. Obviously, he still agreed with Xiang Yu's statements. This was the second change that Han Xin and Xiang Yu encountered after they arrived here. More than 100,000 troops had been sent to the beach. This may be a good thing for them and the other two armies, but of course it may also be a huge bad thing.

"According to the people of the Mauryan Dynasty, the reason why the Mauryan emperor knew about the Great Qin was through the mouth of a Great Qin man. According to our speculation, this person is most likely Xu Fu, a pilgrim who had taken a boat to sea before. Now Xu Fu is in the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty and is regarded as a guest of honor by the emperor. In addition, we have also found out the exact location of the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty, but the news of the other two armies has not been heard at all."

"Okay! Your mission is quite complete this time. Go back quickly and continue to study the language of the Mauryan Dynasty. This general asked you to integrate their language into the shortest time so that one person can deal with these in the future. Otherwise, when will you educate the people of the Mauryan Dynasty according to the instructions of the emperor?"

Seeing that his first mission was finally completed successfully, the two scholars finally left happily. This was simply supreme glory for them. This task further strengthened their confidence in completing the ultimate mission of teaching and solving doubts mentioned by Ying Gao.

After sending these two scholars away, Han Xin looked at Xiang Yu and showed a solemn expression.

"Shanyu thought about it and thought that the water of the Mauryan Dynasty was obviously deeper than I had imagined before. Xu Fu had actually arrived here and told the Mauryan Dynasty about the details of my Great Qin."

"But the news that Xu Fu told the monarch of the Mauryan Dynasty was probably the news when the first emperor was alive. Today's Daqin, under the leadership of the new emperor, was already different from the past. If it weren't for this, how could the emperor of the Mauryan Dynasty dare to rashly attack the Daqin after preparing an army of tens of thousands?"

"The Shanyu means... the Great Qin mentioned by Xu Fu made the emperors of the Mauryan Dynasty think it was very weak?"

"That's right, and how Xu Fu deceived the First Emperor in the first place, it is very likely that he would deceive the emperor of the Mauryan Dynasty. Otherwise, how could he be regarded as a guest of honor for the emperor of the Mauryan Dynasty?"

"If the Mauryan Dynasty had sufficient troops, why could he not send a team of men to defeat us at will? Therefore, according to my opinion, the capital guards of the Mauryan Dynasty were not very strict. It would be better for us to lead a hundred thousand troops to attack Huanglong. At least tens of thousands of people were sent to the beach. I think if Sima Xin and Peng Yue encountered them, they would defeat them. At that time, you and I would occupy the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty. Wouldn't it be great?"

Just when Xiang Yu had not made any decision in his head, Han Xin actually made such a bold suggestion. This was something Xiang Yu did not expect, because according to the original plan, the purpose of their team was to attract the main force of the Mauryan Dynasty, and looking back on the job, this was left to Sima Xin and Peng Yue.

Now, except for the tens of thousands of people who have been sent to the beach by others, Han Xin's meaning is obviously that everything is done by him and Xiang Yu's cavalry.

There is another deep reason why Xiang Yu was shocked, that is, once all the words Han Xin said became reality, the 80,000 people of Xiang Yu played a much greater role in this battle than before. Although he might have encountered some hard battles and caused some losses in this process, but on the day when he was finally rewarded in terms of merit, Xiang Yu didn't know how much more land of the Mauryan Dynasty could be distributed.

After occupying such a city, Xiang Yu actually had plans in his mind. The grassland of the Huns is useless except grazing. It has no good climate and no danger to guard it. Otherwise, if Ying Gao was not interested in this land, he would probably have let him destroy it.

So Xiang Yu was almost sure that when this war really ended with victory, except for a small number of the Hun tribes who would stay on their original land and a small number would move to that half of the barren land, all other tribes would move to the land he had divided in the Mauryan Dynasty.

Although Xiang Yu was a very brave general, he knew that races like the Huns could not make a living by plundering and war every year. He wanted to change the lifestyle of the Huns.

A hundred years later, what Xiang Yu wanted was the Huns like the Qin people, and he would not be the one who died immediately after the beasts died. They had to learn to plant and store them, and the land of the Mauryan Dynasty could provide Xiang Yu with these.

On the other hand, Han Xin was able to express such a suggestion that seemed not very suitable for Daqin. It was naturally because he wanted to be more competitive than Peng Yue and Sima Xin. But the most important reason was that Ying Gao had said to him before he set off.

Ying Gao once told Han Xin that the main reason why he let Xiang Yu participate so deeply in this matter this time was not that he wanted to leave the 80,000 cavalry of the Qin Dynasty. Although the number of cavalry in the Qin Dynasty was really not large, it was still affordable for 100,000.

But Ying Gao still tied Xiang Yu to his chariot. In fact, according to Ying Gao, he wanted Xiang Yu to eventually lead the main force of the Huns to leave the border of the Qin Dynasty. Outside the Great Wall were the dense Hun tribes, and they had to step up the construction of the Great Wall and stationed in the Qin Dynasty at all times.

Moreover, Ying Gao also said that handing over part of the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty to Xiang Yu would only benefit the Qin Dynasty but not the bad. At least at this stage, the Huns would always be ally of the Qin Dynasty, and this stage would last for a long time.

At that time, Han Xin didn't understand what Ying Gao said several words, but he understood one thing, that is, to let Xiang Yu participate more in this matter. In this war, although it may cause the Huns to speak loudly at the Qin Lion, Han Xin felt that Ying Gao was not afraid of the lion saying loudly at all.

Han Xin's proposal was indeed very bold, so bold that Xiang Yu had to think carefully before he could give his answer. However, Han Xin was not in a hurry at this time because he thought he still knew Xiang Yu.

"If 100,000 is matched with 200,000 or even 300,000, I wonder if the general will retreat?" After thinking for a long time, Xiang Yu didn't say anything else, and actually asked such a question first.

"Since Han Xin has arrived at this Mauryan Dynasty and has promised the emperor that he must take down this Mauryan Dynasty, no matter how Shanyu thought about it, Han Xin would never withdraw if he didn't fight to the side."

"Okay! Since there is a general accompanying you, Xiang Yu naturally dares to take this risk!"
