"What? The Lord asked me so much? If this is not good, wouldn't I be ruined?"

Half a month later, Liu Wei received a reply from Ying Gao in Bushan County. For him who was cautious, he almost never did anything like Ying Gao's letters by himself. He was not the only one of the confidants sent by Ying Gao to Guilin County, but also one of the Sun Qian, who may be more trustworthy than him in Ying Gao's heart.

So every time he discusses a major event, Liu Wei almost always pulls Sun Qian. He will not only know anything, because he did not have much ambitions, but just wants to do the task assigned to him safely.

After reading Ying Gao's letter, Liu Wei handed the letter to Sun Qian who was sitting in front of him, and then he said to Sun Qian with a frown.

After so many years of training, Sun Qian was not only able to deal with all the work in the position of county magistrate, but also learned most common small seal script under the guidance of his daughter. Now, although Ying Gao still struggled to Liu Wei, he had no problem reading it all.

"Your Majesty will actually let you say such a ruthless thing in front of Mr. Hu Hai? Could it be..."

"Yes, the Lord means to use me as bait. I want to see if Mr. Hu Hai has a rebellious attitude towards the Qin Dynasty. But this matter is very difficult. Not to mention that Mr. Hu Hai has no rebellious attitude towards the Qin Dynasty, wouldn't I have shot myself in the foot this time? Even Mr. Hu Hai really has some problems as I guess. Once I act too much, I don't think he believes it. If the Lord Hu Hai defeats the plan, it will be really difficult. If there is no suitable opportunity, it will definitely not work!"

Liu Wei's mind is still much better than Sun Qian. He read Ying Gao's letter and knew what Ying Gao meant.

But this matter is a matter that sounds easier said than done. If he wants to try Hu Hai out, first of all, the intention he showed must be believed by Hu Hai, and it must be impeccable, so he needs an opportunity.

"Since you personally instructed this matter, and I and Mr. Fusu can testify to you, the county magistrate does not need to worry about the matter behind you. The difficulty now is how to make Mr. Hu Hai believe that you really have some rebellion against the Qin Dynasty."

Both of them knew the difficulty of this matter, so they discussed it for an hour or two in Liu Wei's mansion before they finished. Although Liu Wei's expression was still a little bit low in the end, it was no longer as panicked as when he first saw the letter. Obviously, they both found some methods.

Ying Gao had no time limit for Liu Wei's requirements, but just asked him to make a judgment based on the situation at that time. Therefore, Liu Wei naturally could not run to Hu Hai directly and cried and scolded Ying Gao. He also had to find some opportunities. At least Hu Hai had to take the initiative to go over to him, because Hu Hai had encountered some problems in governing Xiangjun before, and he would ask him for advice. Then there would definitely be such an opportunity in the future, right?

As the days passed, it didn't matter whether Liu Wei had the right opportunity to Ying Gao. After Lu Jia led the team of more than a thousand people from the outskirts of Xianyang City for more than two months, their first news finally reached the Xianyang Palace.

Although the straight-line distance between Bashu and Xianyang City is not so far, according to Ying Gao's request, once the news of Lu Jia reaches Bashu County, it is necessary to use the fastest fast horse. If you change horses and don't change people in the middle, you can send them to Xianyang Palace as quickly as possible and hand them directly in front of him. If it is a mistake, it goes without saying that the county magistrates of Bashu County will be able to do anything.

This letter was written by Lu Jia himself. Although Ying Gao was very excited, the content of the letter was similar to what he imagined in his heart, and it could almost be regarded as a letter to report peace.

That was when Lu Jia and his friends entered that desolate land for a month. According to Lu Jia, if nothing happened, he would write a letter every month to return to Bashu County as the same way. On the one hand, he would report his situation and harvest in the past month by Ying Gao, and on the other hand, he would naturally go to Bashu County to supplement some things he urgently needed. This is a killing two birds with one stone.

Seeing Lu Jia’s plan, Ying Gao really nodded and admired from the bottom of his heart. These were all things he had not asked Lu Jia to do before, but now Lu Jia has done it, which shows that Lu Jia is really willing to do a good job in exploring the barren land this time. Such a person, as the leader of this action, can undoubtedly greatly enhance the success rate of this event.

Although it was just a routine report of safety, Ying Gao still saw something that made him very happy in Lu Jia's letters, that is, although the climate in the barren land was really not very good, sometimes with strong winds and sometimes with smoke and dust. According to Lu Jia's prediction, in two months, the climate here will definitely be even worse.

Fortunately, they made preparations in advance and prepared a large amount of cotton coats. According to Lu Jia, there should be no large-scale frostbite.

Not only that, Lu Jia found a place suitable for grazing, about twenty days away from the Bashu marching. Although this land is not very large, it is enough to accommodate a small Hun tribe. The terrain is hidden, with water sources and grasslands.

He had left dozens of people and two craftsmen, using this place as the first contact point. After the person who sent the letter back to replenish his energy, he rushed to Bashu and then to Xianyang, which would obviously reduce the possibility of accidents.

The most important thing is that after the letter sent back to Ying Gao, Lu Jia attached the topographic map of the place he had explored this month, and what kind of markers were there from Bashu, which were presented in front of Ying Gao one by one on the map.

According to Lu Jia, only by sending this map to Ying Gao can I explore more bravely. Even if I encounter an unexpected situation on a certain road, the people sent by Ying Gao can continue to explore according to the map he has drawn, thus saving a lot of time.

Lu Jia's spirit really made Ying Gao feel very grateful. He knew that there were definitely not many such people in this era. Most officials followed the rules and were foolish and loyal but did not know how to adapt. There were too few officials like Lu Jia who were brave and thoughtful.

Ying Gao had a strong premonition, that is, this unprecedented road is likely to be opened up in Lu Jia's hands. If Lu Jia could not find the land passage from the Qin Dynasty to the Mauryan Dynasty, it would be difficult for him to send another person.

After receiving the letter from Lu Jia, Ying Gao was not idle. Instead, he copied out a copy of Lu Jia's letter and sent someone to the Xiongnu royal court outside the Great Wall overnight. The Xiongnu and the Qin Dynasty are already allies, so it was much more convenient for Ying Gao to send people to the Xiongnu. Just find a nearby one to close the door and go out. After arriving in the territory of the Xiongnu, as long as he reveals his identity as an envoy of the Qin Dynasty, the Xiongnu will definitely not hate you as much as before.

When Xiang Yu saw the copied letter from Ying Gao, he felt relieved. Who were the five hundred men he sent? He followed his Jiangdong children all the way since Jiangdong was defeated. He was a confidant who he could never find in his life.

When he told Ying Gao that he would send these 500 people, Ying Gao could see his sincerity. What Xiang Yu was most worried about now was undoubtedly whether these 500 people could come back with all their tails. Although the Qin Dynasty also sent 500 cavalry that claimed to be the most elite, the 500 people in the Qin Dynasty lost, and there were still thousands of people who could take over. If these 500 people were lost, there would be no more...

Seeing the contents of this letter, Xiang Yu found that the fact that there was a foreign race on the land he was most worried about before did not happen. Moreover, the land seemed to have a lot of resources besides the terrain and climate.

This made Xiang Yu think. Even if one-fifth of the land was suitable for grazing or something, his territory would be incomparable to the present. Although his territory is quite large compared to the previous Huns, it is still a slim compared to the Great Qin.

But if he really got half of the barren land, the land that the Huns could grazed would be almost several times more, and in this way, the food of the Huns would increase exponentially. For Xiang Yu, the increase in food would mean that the Huns would not have to control their childbirth for a long time. With sufficient goat milk, no matter how many children they gave birth, they would not starve to death.

Of course, there was also an idea in Xiang Yu's heart that had never been published, that is, whether there would be a suitable place for cultivation on that land.

He came from Jiangdong from the Qin Dynasty, and after he came with a total of 10,000 Jiangdong children, he naturally knew how to farm. Moreover, after they arrived at the territory of the Huns, they found that the reason why many tribes of the Huns could not eat enough was that their food source was only grazing and they did not grow any food.

So according to Xiang Yu's idea, if the grains of Qin could be planted on the Huns' territory, it would almost allow the Huns to make progress for another whole era.

But Xiang Yu and the others were finally disappointed to find that the land on the Huns was completely different from the place where the Qin Dynasty produced a lot of food, and such land could not produce any food.

Now, the discovery of this new land has rekindled Xiang Yu's hope. Once the Huns can achieve the common development of crop planting and grazing, it will be a new era. Even Xiang Yu believes that in a few years, the Huns will no longer have to live in the shadow of the Qin Dynasty.

"Major General, could this letter be forged by the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty to deceive the Major General?"

When Xiang Yu read the letter to his confidants, Long Qi, who had always dared to speak out, raised his concerns again. When he was fighting with the Qin soldiers led by Ying Gao, in Long Qi's opinion, Ying Gao used tricks to harm Xiang Yu, otherwise Xiang Yu would never have been able to have such a crushing defeat.

Since that time, Ying Gaoji has never held back anything in Long Qi's heart. In his opinion, when Xiang Yu and Ying Gao met before, they should have killed Ying Gao with a knife. Although Long Qi closed his mouth at Xiang Yu's order, that did not mean that he thought so in his heart.

"If the Emperor of Qin does not want to inform me of the real situation, he can't make a statement. Why do you want to copy this letter and hand it to me? If you talk nonsense, you will send you to the desolate land. What else can you say at that time?"

Xiang Yu naturally wouldn't really send Long Qi to that desolate place for a confidant like Long Qi, but by saying this at this time, he could naturally startle Long Qi to some extent, and naturally he wouldn't say such words to Ying Gao again.

"You have to quickly train the 80,000 elite cavalry selected from various tribes. These 80,000 people are the capital for us to expedition in the future. We are more expensive than elite soldiers, and our Hun cavalry cannot carry a large amount of food and supplies. The power of the mobility is our army's magic weapon to win. You just need to train troops. When you really need to go out, I will find a way to upgrade the equipment of our Hun cavalry."

"Major General, once they really find the entrance to the Mauryan Dynasty in the barren land, we, the Huns, really have to send 80,000 troops to cooperate with the Qin naval army to attack the Mauryan Dynasty? Once the Qin naval army is unfavorable, our army will find it difficult to get benefits!"

This time, the person who asked this question was relatively stable. According to the current situation, Xiang Yu believed Ying Gao, but the 80,000 elite soldiers were already quite a big deal for the Huns, not to mention how long it took to recover after that big defeat. Once the 80,000 elite soldiers were gone and the Huns had nothing to gain, not to mention anything else, Xiang Yu's status in the hearts of the Huns would not be known to have declined.
