Chapter 455
What Xiang Yu was a little unexpected was that after Ying Gao put his seal on the alliance, he handed Xiang Yu a copy, turned around and went under the platform.
Xiang Yu also followed Ying Gao's pace, but he felt a little uncomfortable. He thought to himself, why did this guy change his face? Could it be that there was a deception?
When he arrived on the ground, Xiang Yu changed into a grim face. He was about to ask Ying Gao what it meant, but Ying Gao had turned around and said to Xiang Yu with a smile: "I am really afraid of heights, so I hurried down. I hope Shanyu will not be surprised!"
Although the word "fear of fear" has not been in this era, when these two words are combined together, Xiang Yu also knew what Ying Gao wanted to express. Although he was a little disdainful of Ying Gao as the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, he was afraid of this mere few feet of high platform, but he could only wave his hand with a smile, which was considered to be a reflection of Ying Gao.
"Since the alliance between my Great Qin and the Huns has been signed, it is not a joke. You and I have become allies, not enemies. Shanyu must take good care of the Huns under your command. Don't go to the villages at the foot of my Great Qin Great Wall to burn, kill and rob."
Ying Gao sighed, and the first thing he said was this.
Xiang Yu was stunned after hearing this, thinking that it was a long time since I had been burning, killing and looting at the foot of the Great Qin Wall. He even had never done such a thing since I became the Shanyu of the Huns. However, Meng Tian from Shangjun came out to show off from time to time. The surrounding Xiongnu tribes could not bear it, and they would lose some Xiongnu cavalry whenever they fought against Meng Tian.
Now Ying Gao actually made such a thief and called to catch the thief, which made Xiang Yu feel uncomfortable.
"I, the Huns, will never invade the villages of the Qin Dynasty again, and I will also ask General Meng Tian, who is in the county, to lead troops to the territory of the Huns at will..."
"Oh? That's nature, that's nature."
Ying Gao originally wanted to hit Xiang Yu a little, but he never expected that Meng Tian was not an honest person. He had to be strong himself. At this time, Ying Gao was of course the kind that was not hard.
He thought in his heart that he had to beat Meng Tian after going back and let him guard Shangjun honestly and not provoke the Huns for the time being. Ying Gao still spoke again because after making this alliance, he still had many details to confirm with Xiang Yu.
After all, the next year will play a very important role in Ying Gao's plan. If they cannot find the path to the Mauryan Dynasty in the Tibetan area, or if they find it, they will find that they cannot use manpower to make any changes to the mountain barrier, they will have to do the Mauryan Dynasty alone. Once such a situation occurs, it will be a big deal for how the Huns arrange it.
So Ying Gao still hopes that they can find the place they mentioned smoothly and then successfully open up the path to the Mauryan Dynasty through the equipment of this era. Ying Gao believes that this is still possible.
Because the Mauryan Dynasty did not know that there was a Qin here, once they found that they had reached this harsh climate and were all mountain ranges, they would not try to move forward again, and they would never be able to discover the Qin.
"After I return to Xianyang, I have to start to investigate the desolate land. Because of the distance, we should start to investigate from west of the two Bashu counties of our Great Qin. In that case, the distance will be much smaller. As for the territory connected to the Huns, it will not be too late to investigate after we discover the passage, because if the Huns' cavalry want to get there, they must build a path that at least war horses can pass. Shanyu must worry about this. I, Great Qin, will help one or two, how about it?"
Now, Ying Gao knew that he had to formulate the next action plan with Xiang Yu. If he couldn't decide on this matter while both of them were there, he wouldn't know how much time he would have been wasted.
According to Xiang Yu's previous thoughts, the exploration of the desolate land should have started from the land of the Huns, but after hearing these truths that Ying Gao said and the final guarantee that Ying Gao made, Xiang Yu naturally did not feel anything wrong.
In fact, it is said that it is a joint investigation of this large area of barren land. Most of the people who can play a role must be sent by the Qin Dynasty. There are almost no decent craftsmen in the Huns. Things like opening roads and filling bridges across mountains can only be considered reliable by the people of the Qin Dynasty. Even if Xiang Yu sent some people, he could only play some auxiliary roles in this. Therefore, after thinking about this, Xiang Yu could only agree.
"As you said, I, the Huns, will naturally help you, but I don't know the day of departure..."
"I have already decided to go to that barren land this time, but after I go back, I have to prepare some craftsmen and cavalry to follow and escort. Food and supplies are also indispensable. After arriving in that barren land, they must not be greedy for me and advance recklessly. They must make steady progress. Once they find the water source or suitable place for grazing or farming, they must record it and repay it as soon as possible. I, Daqin or the Huns, sent people to occupy such a place as their supply for continuing to move forward. Only in this way can they find the entrance to the Mauryan Dynasty within a year. Otherwise, I am afraid that none of the people you and I will send back."
Xiang Yu knew that Ying Gao was not joking about this, but he had not considered this at all before. At this point, Xiang Yu also realized that Ying Gao really wanted to find the entrance to the Mauryan Dynasty on that desolate land, and this was definitely not fooling himself.
After reaching this conclusion, Xiang Yu's mentality also underwent some subtle changes, and some details that he had not noticed before have now begun to pay attention to.
"Since that's the case, I, the Huns, will send out 500 elite cavalry, plus some mature hunters, I believe these people will play a very important role."
"It's so good. After the Shanyu prepared these people, he sent them to the suburbs of Xianyang City of our Great Qin within a month. When the staff of our Great Qin were ready, we set out from Xianyang, arrived at the middle of Bashu County and headed straight for the barren land. However... after arriving in that barren land, the person in charge would still be the doctor named Lu Jia from our Great Qin. I wonder if Shanyu has any objection to this matter?"
Ying Gao knew that this ugly thing must be said before. The relationship between the Huns and the Qin people was not very good. If we don’t discuss it, then you don’t agree with me and I won’t agree with you. It would be better if the Huns were not involved, right?
After hearing Ying Gao's concern, Xiang Yu couldn't help but smile and looked at Ying Gao and said, "The five hundred elite cavalry sent this time are the cavalry I brought from Jiangdong, not the Huns. There will definitely be no problems when communicating with the soldiers and craftsmen of the Qin Dynasty. I think there should be no more than ten Huns involved in this time, and the actions of this will naturally be based on what the Qin Dynasty doctor said. You don't have to worry about this matter."
Seeing that Xiang Yu was so able to think about others, even if a large stone in Ying Gao's heart fell to the ground, Lu Jia was also a courtier that Ying Gao loved very much. If Lu Jia was damaged on the land in Tibetan areas because of this incident, Ying Gao would definitely not be able to breathe this. So before setting off, Ying Gao had to help his subordinates pave the road.
After that, Ying Gao discussed with Xiang Yu some of the troops and food and grass that he had to prepare for the attack on the Mauryan Dynasty this year. Of course, this can only be said to be a suggestion from Ying Gao to Xiang Yu. It is impossible for the other person's troops to be exposed to you just because of an alliance, right?
When Ying Gao bid farewell to Xiang Yu again, it was already a little late before he knew it. The two of them were actually a little hungry and croaking, but no one said that they had a meal together, because they had their own little plan in their hearts.
This alliance will undoubtedly have a huge and far-reaching impact on the Qin and the Huns, and will also cause certain changes in some of their measures and development directions. Although this agreement is not enough to make Xiang Yu and Ying Gao become good friends, it can greatly alleviate the hostility between the two sides. After all, their enthusiasm is now rushing towards the Mauryan Dynasty.
Although the Mauryan Dynasty is a giant compared to the Great Qin, Xiang Yu knew that if the Great Qin really sent out the number of warships and naval forces mentioned by Ying Gao, it would be equivalent to investing most of the Qin's military and financial resources in the next few years into this war.
Xiang Yu thought he knew Ying Gao, and this guy was extremely cunning and would definitely not bit the bullet and do impossible things.
So Xiang Yu speculated that Ying Gao should have some insider information but did not inform him, and this news is likely that the Mauryan Dynasty is not so powerful now, and it will give Ying Gao and Xiang Yu the chance to win them in just one or two years.
Otherwise, even if Xiang Yu brought 200,000 Hun cavalry, he would not be able to do anything to the cavalry riding an elephant as Wu Sheng said, right?
However, Xiang Yu did not seek verification with Ying Gao for this speculation, because he knew that because of this conspiracy, the Huns and the Qin Dynasty were already tied to a rope in the attack on the Mauryan Dynasty. Knowing more would not have any great effect on him. If someone wanted to tell you, you would tell you without asking, and if someone didn't want to tell you, you could only ask a lie with a shorts. Xiang Yu still understood this truth.
In short, as long as you get the news that Ying Gao set off in Jiangdong and Nanhai County, Xiang Yu will take their Huns cavalry from the west and do it.
He believed that if this war really started, his losses would definitely be smaller than that of the Great Qin Dynasty. After all, the Great Qin naval army would not know how many people would be overturned by the wind and waves at sea. It is not certain how many people could safely reach the Mauryan Dynasty.
With their own little calculations in mind, even if the signing of the alliance between Ying Gao and Xiang Yu this time ended successfully, Xiang Yu returned to his Xiongnu royal court, and Ying Gao also returned to Shangjun. They didn't know when and where the next meeting would be, and they didn't even know if the two people who were tied together for temporary interests would have a chance to meet again...
After arriving in Shangjun, Ying Gao did not stop too much, but repeatedly warned Meng Tian that his mission was to guard Shangjun and understand Xiang Yu's every move in the Huns. However, one thing is that if the Huns were not within the foot of the Great Wall, he would never take the initiative to lead the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty out of the city to provoke the Huns, because once the alliance was signed, such a way would be equivalent to tearing down the marriage agreement, and Ying Gao would become a person pointed by thousands of people.
After informing Meng Tian about this, Ying Gao set out to return to Xianyang because he still had tens of things to deal with in Xianyang.
After arriving in Xianyang, Ying Gao said nothing else and directly announced the alliance between him and the Huns, so that all the people of the Qin Dynasty knew what they were doing when they were going to Shangjun.
Ying Gao knew that Xiang Yu must have done something in the territory of the Qin Dynasty. If he returned to Xianyang City, it would seem that nothing had happened. The matter of this alliance would be black and white. He would definitely think that his alliance had other purposes, which would definitely be unfavorable for cooperating with the attack on the Mauryan Dynasty in the future. Therefore, Ying Gao had never even thought about such a cleverness.
The people of the Qin Dynasty were naturally stunned by such a thing, but when they learned that the Xiongnu Shanyu was actually Xiang Yu, the major general of the Chu State, he was able to accept this matter a little.
If Ying Gao signed an alliance with a Hun, the people of the Qin Dynasty would definitely not do it. However, with a Central Plains man, it would give the people of the Qin Dynasty a feeling that two Central Plains man played the Huns.
In front of the Huns, even if Xiang Yu was a member of the previous anti-Qin army, the people of Qin were not so unacceptable, especially the people of Jiangdong, who really felt inexplicably in their hearts.
The first time the Mauryan Dynasty let the people of the Qin Dynasty know, this exceeded their cognition. You must know that they were all from Qin, Qi, Chu, and Koreans...
And now, I suddenly told them that there is an empire similar to the current Qin Dynasty in a place that is far away and not near. How could they not fall off their chins? But the only good news is that I don’t know how this empire is. Anyway, Qin wants to attack him, not that he wants to attack Qin.
