Chapter 381 Three-year plan

Xiao He's mind is naturally much more than Meng Yi and Han Xin, but he cannot really let Ying Gao's ideas be revealed, because he doesn't know what Ying Gao's ultimate goal is, nor what effect Ying Gao wants to achieve in the end.

"Indeed, what the officials said makes sense when it comes to sending troops, but I don't know anything. I hope the Grand Marshal or General Han Xin will tell you one or two of them."

This is another way of expression that Ying Gao rarely expresses. Ying Gao is very sincere, both as an emperor and as a companion. In addition to being a little bit hindered to adjust the atmosphere, he speaks generally. But this time, on such a major matter, Ying Gao said that he had something unknown, and that must be something unknown.

"Your Majesty has been dealing with Xiang Yu for a long time, so what's the matter unclear?"

However, Han Xin didn't know if it was because he became Ying Gao's brother-in-law, so he didn't think so much about this.

"What I don't know is that to what extent can I destroy the Huns? Will Xiang Yu be able to die without a burial place, and the Huns will destroy their country and seeds, and will never invade the border of our Qin? If anyone can make a military order with me to achieve this, the battle will be arranged tomorrow!"

The Huns destroyed their country and the race? Xiang Yu died without a place to be buried?

Originally, Han Xin almost blurted out when he heard this, just go there by himself! But after passing through his head, he finally found that what Ying Gao asked seemed to be a pit.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Meng Yi was still old and steadfast. He knew that Ying Gao was willing to destroy the Huns and kill Xiang Yu. These two things were indeed a bit difficult, but even if he could, he could not say it casually.

"What do you mean? You and several others said that now is the best time to attack the Huns, but I have some doubts in my heart. The soldiers of my Great Qin are all extremely precious wealth in my heart. The cavalry of the Great Qin cannot even be collected. If these more than 70,000 people really come out of Shangjun, they will not be able to destroy the country and destroy the seeds, and Xiang Yu will die under the iron cavalry of my Great Qin. Then a few years later, will the lives of my Great Qin and the Huns come to me like this? The lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of my Great Qin will be in vain?"

There are indeed a few more than 70,000 cavalrymen, and Meng Yi and Han Xin both knew what Ying Gao meant, that is, the Huns were widely distributed on the grassland. If you want to completely wipe out such alien races and destroy them, it is basically impossible.

There will always be some tribes running to the corners of the north. The Qin army cannot be dispersed. If it is too far, it will involve the issue of food and supplies. Therefore, it is basically impossible to wipe out the Huns without any left.

Xiang Yu is also the same. If others can't beat it, they will still run away. There is no complicated terrain in the Huns. If you attack, it will rely on hard power and the tactical role is not big.

"We can chase the remaining Huns to the boundary that is even more west and north. My Qin occupied the large grassland of the Huns. In this way, the Huns will no longer be able to grow and grow in the future!"

Han Xin was still a young man in the end, and with the enthusiasm of having just married his wife, he stood up and said something bold.

What Han Xin said was actually a bit beyond the scope of war. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao He next to him grinning slightly. Han Xin guessed that it was over, and there were probably some mistakes in his previous words.

"What the general said is really not difficult to achieve. But I ask you, do you know why my Qin Dynasty chose to spend so much manpower and material resources to build the Great Wall, rather than leading the army to directly destroy the Huns' cavalry and occupy the land of the Huns many years ago?"

"I don't know..."

Obviously, Han Xin usually devotes all his heart to studying tactics, and has never studied these things at all. At this time, he can't figure it out even if he thinks about it again.

Even Xiao He and Meng Yi did not expect Ying Gao to tell such a question, why did you build the Great Wall to resist the Huns, and why did you resist the Huns? Because the Huns are cruel, why did the First Emperor destroy the Huns before? There was only Meng Yi who had experienced that era. Meng Yi recalled the situation at that time in his head. It seemed that no one had asked why, for the Huns, it had resisted since ancient times, rather than wiped out the Great Wall. It was just a way to resist.

"You all know that the people in our Central Plains live by farming, and we all feed on food. The Huns outside the Great Wall live a nomadic life. We are used to living in our own homes day after day, but the Huns are not like this. They are not the case where there are plump water plants and where is the home of the Hun tribe. The reason is that the territory occupied by the Huns cannot be cultivated, but can only be grazed!"

Hearing this, the expressions on the three of them changed a lot. Ying Gao did not say anything long, but just told them a fact that they almost knew about it but were often ignored by them.

"Left Prime Minister, if the people of the two counties in Daqin were allowed to move to the Huns, they could not farm, they could only grazle, and had no place to live, and could only hide in tents when they were in the cold winter. Do you think the people of these two counties would be happy?"

"Then... I won't. If this is the case, I'm afraid the people of these two counties will be not far from opposing Qin!"

By this time, Xiao He had fully understood what Ying Gao wanted to express. As the left prime minister, although he was not very familiar with war, he was good at national economy and people's livelihood. The new policy was a higher level of things. However, what kind of life the people wanted more and what kind of life the people could not bear, he knew it in his heart, who was born as a grassroots cadre.

"Since that's the case, even if my Great Qin occupied all the Huns' territory, what's the use for me? The final result is to simplify the front line that I Great Qin needs to guard. The territory of the Huns is deserted, and all the food, grass and supplies are not a small number. Moreover, there is no danger to defend. How many soldiers' lives do I need to make the useless Huns' land stable?"

Ying Gao said this while looking at Meng Yi and Han Xin. During the whole process, both of them frowned tightly. Obviously, they didn't know how to refute what Ying Gao said, or there was nothing to refute at all. This was not because Ying Gao was the emperor and the others dared not, but because Ying Gao said everything that was reasonable, and they both had nothing to say.

What Ying Gao said was actually not something too profound, but they didn't expect that they simply thought that if the Huns occupied the territory, the Huns would be over. But now it seems that the Huns, especially when the number of people is very small, are very likely not afraid of you occupying other people's territory. According to Ying Gao, if the Huns also know this, if they attack them, it will definitely end up like this, that is, the Huns retreat directly. If you chase to a certain level, you will naturally not be able to chase them anymore, because you can't afford to spend it!

"Your Majesty, what should I do?"

At this point, Meng Yi had no idea. The Huns suddenly turned into slim loaches. What can you do if you win? In the end, as long as you leave a spark for the Huns, they will be a hero again in a few years. It seems that it will be a very difficult thing to completely wipe out the Huns.

It’s not right to fight or occupy, Meng Yi really didn’t know what to do. He didn’t know what to do before, but at this time he finally changed his mind. He knew that it was not Ying Gao’s fault, but that this matter was really difficult to deal with.

"If you want to solve the problem of the Huns once and for all, with the current national strength and military strength of our Great Qin, it is no different from a dream!"

Ying Gao finally made a conclusion, and he showed no mercy to his dynasty.

Indeed, Ying Gao thought so in his heart, especially when he received a letter from Xiang Yu to himself in private, Xiang Yu did have some flaunts, but Ying Gao knew that Xiang Yu didn't know whether he could suppress the leaders of the Huns at that time, and he might die. The reason why he wrote that letter was actually because he had untied the knot and respected Ying Gao, his opponent. Of course, if he succeeded like now, it would be a threat to Ying Gao.

If the Xiongnu Khan was not Xiang Yu, Ying Gao would not have thought so much, but now the situation is different. Since Xiang Yu dared to write a letter, he was not afraid of the Qin Dynasty's attack. This was already obvious.

"well!"

After hearing Ying Gao's words, the three of them sighed. The 70,000 to 80,000 cavalry was really not enough and could not form a huge advantage at all. Not to mention that they would guard all fronts in the territory of the Huns.

"Why don't you know if you have a long-term solution?"

The Qin Dynasty was a giant to the Huns. He could not just admit defeat, right? What's more, when he had won a big victory against the Huns and killed the Huns' Shanyu, Han Xin was dissatisfied anyway. He always felt that this was not the case!

"Be kind to the people, rest and recuperate, implement new policies, change the customs of the people, and then recruit soldiers and train troops. Within three years, you can only solve the problem of the Huns once and for all."

Another short and concise sentence, but it made the three of them lit up. Ying Gao's few short sentences have already pointed out the future development direction of the Qin Dynasty.

Indeed, from the time Ying Gao ascended the throne to the present, the only thing he has not moved is recruiting troops.

Does the Qin Dynasty need soldiers? It must be needed, and it is very necessary. Otherwise, Han Xin would not have to have Meng Tian take the risk of attacking him from outside the Great Wall to cooperate with him inside and outside. However, this hole was in Ying Gao's hands. Ying Gao didn't say anything, even if there were a lack of soldiers, they would not dare to say that they could only make good use of existing resources.

Today, Ying Gao finally pointed out why he didn't recruit soldiers.

Be kind to the people, recuperate, and implement new policies. Only when all three of these are done can we recruit soldiers. This is obviously the premise that Ying Gao stipulates for the recruitment of soldiers and cannot be overcome.

"Are you a little urgent in three years? The Qianshou leaders have just experienced the anti-Qin war that swept through most of the Central Plains. It will probably take at least five years to fully recuperate!"

Xiao He still agreed with Ying Gao's steps, but even so, he still thought Ying Gao was a little anxious. He had done so many things in three years.

"There is only two years to rest and recuperate. In the next year, we will train an invincible cavalry."

"Ah? This..."

Xiao He was really speechless about Ying Gao's statement. It was really difficult to make a fundamental change in the folk customs of the Qin Dynasty in two years.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been building a soil for change for my Great Qin. Everything I do will consider whether it will be beneficial to the implementation of the new policy in the future. Now the new policy is the first to take shape. This matter can be released within two months. After it is released, I will implement some meticulous measures to make my life in the Qianshou of Great Qin a little change. Furthermore, there are only so many lands that the Huns can grazed. In other words, we just ignore the Huns. When they were in full swing, they would have more than 200,000 cavalry. I assert that in three years, they will definitely develop less than 200,000!"

At this time, Ying Gao's fangs were finally revealed. Ying Gao didn't know how far the Huns could develop, but Ying Gao knew their upper limit.

Moreover, everything he said before was ultimately because the Qin Dynasty did not have enough soldiers and food. If all of these were included, he might not dare to erode the territory of the Huns little by little.

"Since you have this from the Lord, three years later, I will definitely prepare a cavalry for you that is enough to crush the Huns!"

The emperor's thinking was so clear, so of course he had to express his opinion as a general. When Han Xin heard Ying Gao's three-year plan, he thought to himself that if he could not completely defeat Xiang Yu and the Huns, he would not have to be a general.

"What the three of us said today is not necessary to tell anyone else. As for General Meng Tian, ​​he continued to train troops in Shangjun, controlled Xiang Yu's movements in the Huns, and occasionally beat the Huns."
