Chapter 488: The Wish of Sari Suka

While Peng Yue and Sima Xin were looking forward, Han Xin and Xiang Yu had already set out first.

Xiang Yu's 80,000 army did not suffer any losses on the way. After more than half a month of rest under the mountains, he had basically adapted to the strong wind and snowy climate here. After all, such things are still common in some places within the Huns, and there is no place that is very difficult to adapt to.

This time, according to Ying Gao's previous guarantee, all the food and grass were transported from the two counties of Bashu in the Qin Dynasty. When Xiang Yu arrived, the food and grass were basically sufficient. According to Lu Jia, they were still transporting it continuously here. Moreover, they did not want to hide Xiang Yu. Ying Gao wanted to build the bottom of this mountain range into a transit station for the Mauryan Dynasty. In the end, the scale here should be no less than the size of a county.

Although Xiang Yu also knew that if Ying Gao did this, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to occupying this piece of land from Bashu from the Qin Dynasty to this place, but the contributions along the way were all from others. Xiang Yu is now reasonable, so he can't say anything.

The two scouts sent out before came back two days before they were about to set off, and brought back one that was quite good for Han Xin and Xiang Yu.

According to the scout, after passing through this mountain range, the situation on the opposite side was similar to that on this side, and the climate was relatively harsh, but the terrain was slightly better than here. This was undoubtedly quite good news for their 100,000 cavalry team.

Han Xin firmly believed that Ying Gao's news was definitely not wrong. According to his idea, after arriving at the opposite side, as a vanguard, as long as he could discover the population of the Mauryan Dynasty in about half a month, and let the power of the Mauryan Dynasty know that his land was invaded by an army from unknown places, his mission would be completed more than half. As for what happened next, it would be the performance time between him and Xiang Yu.

Since Xiang Yu had already decided on the matter for this expedition, after receiving the news, the two of them directly rectified their troops and set out decisively according to the time set by Ying Gao for them. Because they already knew that there was no people nearby, Han Xin directly took the 30,000 vanguard and began to cross this mountain range.

According to Xiang Yu and Han Xin's previous discussion, after Han Xin took the vanguard, he would explore the way about thirty to fifty miles in front of Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu only needed to follow Han Xin from a distance. In this way, once he encountered a small force on the opposite side, Han Xin would solve the problem himself.

Moreover, if the other party panics and reports the news to their rulers, the rulers will think that there are only 30,000 invading people, and the remaining 70,000 are perfect surprises. In such details, it is quite possible to reflect Xiang Yu and Han Xin's ability to command and fight.

Not to mention that Han Xin and Xiang Yu successfully brought the 100,000 troops from the previously impossible place to the Mauryan Dynasty or the land adjacent to the Mauryan Dynasty in almost one day. At this time, the monarch of the Mauryan Dynasty, Sharishuga, was still immersed in conquering the Qin Dynasty and obtaining countless treasures of the Qin Dynasty and the fantasies of the beautiful girl.

After several months of familiarity, Xu Fu was already in the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty, Huashi City. After a period of investigation of some important officials of the Mauryan Dynasty, Xu Fu discovered that the Mauryan Dynasty was actually the one-man place of the king Sharica.

If any court officials do something that makes him dissatisfied, Sharishuga will scold him. Of course, scolding is the lightest. Xu Fu once saw a court official say that the warship is not reliable. If it is overturned halfway, it will be over. After all, the Mauryan Dynasty did not have such a large-scale experience in using warships to fight, right?

If this was in the court of Daqin, although the First Emperor would not necessarily listen, at least he knew that the courtier must be for his own good. For the sake of Daqin, he would not do anything if he didn't listen. But it would be different for Shariya to lose to Kake. He kicked the courtier to the ground and drove him out of the court directly. If many courtiers were not present to dissuade him, that guy would probably not have even saved his life.

This scene tells Xu Fu that this Shari Sousa is a guy who listens and believes in others. Isn’t that what he is good at when dealing with such a guy?

Therefore, during this period, Xu Fu was so fond of Shari Sousa. Every now and then, he said that he suddenly discovered a treasure he brought with him. He didn't dare to enjoy it alone, so he gave it to him directly. This trick made Shari Sousa fool and was even more convinced of Xu Fu. By this time, he could already wander around the court where Shari Sousa and the ministers discussed affairs.

The capital of the Mauryan Dynasty, Fahrenheit, is not located in the center of the Mauryan Dynasty, but is located in the northeast of the Mauryan Dynasty, near the lower reaches of the Ganges, a large river running east and west through the Mauryan Dynasty.

The reason why the capital was established in this place was because the environment and climate were quite good. Not only was the land fertile and the climate pleasant, but the trees were also covered with green trees. However, the rulers of the Mauryan Dynasty never knew that this place was not very far from the mountain range where Han Xin and Xiang Yu came. The distance between them was equivalent to crossing the two small counties of Daqin.

Of course, Xiang Yu and Han Xin, who were new to the arrival, did not know that in the eyes of the Mauryan people, that mountain range was a large desolate place, so their cities and villages were not very close to it. Almost all the Mauryan people would not have thought that one day someone would rush out of such a large mountain range and come to their land.

The nearest attack route between Xiang Yu and Han Xin, means that it is very far from the coastline. The result is that Xiang Yu and Han Xin will be under great pressure in the early stage, which is also something that Ying Gao had thought of before. However, in Ying Gao's view, if they both suffer some pressure, they still have a great possibility of turning danger into safety. However, if the navy has just passed the long journey and suffered such great pressure, it may not be so.

In short, when Sharishuga was still immersed in how he captured the land of the Qin Dynasty and plundered the beautiful girl of the Qin Dynasty, the three armies of the Qin Dynasty were already swinging towards the hinterland of the Mauryan Dynasty like three sharp swords.

At this time, the warship that Sharishuga, who was urging almost every day, was still not completed in full swing, which made Sharishuga very annoyed. He had already given the order to die. At most, he would have to set out to attack the Qin Dynasty. If the goal was still not completed, all those who built the warship would be thrown into the sea.

In fact, although Sharishuga was a slightly tyrannical monarch, in his heart, what he admired the most was the third monarch of the Mauryan Dynasty, King Ashoka. King Ashoka expanded the territory for the Mauryan Dynasty, which led to the stable foundation of this dynasty.

Now that the dynasty has come to his hands, Sharivolous Sauga. Although he has a bad temper and knows how to enjoy it every day, he also has ideals and wishes. He didn't know what he should do if he wanted to reach the height of Ashoka. But now, Xu Fu's sudden appearance is similar to his Mauryan Dynasty, but his ability in Xu Fu's mouth is far inferior to his own Qin, which has shown him the excellent opportunity to become a monarch who can be praised by later generations.

As long as you can win the Qin Dynasty, which is far away from the ocean, your achievements will be no less than those of Ashoka.

But Shari Saiga didn't know that Xu Fu, who seemed loyal and honest, was a big fool. Moreover, the emperor of the Qin Dynasty was no longer the First Emperor who was in his fifties and sickly in Xu Fu's mouth, but Ying Gao, who was in his twenties and talented and wise.

When the Mauryan Dynasty was founded, they had about 50,000 cavalry, 50,000 infantry, and 10,000 war elephants. This military capability had a lot of advantages even compared to the current Qin Dynasty.

However, after the Ashoka period, the military power of the Mauryan Dynasty did not improve to much extent. Instead, it reached a low point after the slackness of Sharishuga.

At this time, the registered population of the Mauryan Dynasty had exceeded 20 million, but the mobile force was only about 30,000 cavalry, less than 400,000 infantry and less than 2,000 war elephants.

Elephants are indeed the killer weapon of the Mauryan Dynasty, but the manpower and material resources consumed by each elephant in daily training and feeding are very amazing. When Sharisauga is slacking off, this advantage is reduced almost every day.

Because of the existence of war elephants, the Mauryan Dynasty did not rely heavily on its own cavalry. When their cavalry developed at its best, it was only a little more than 50,000. Moreover, the main task of these cavalry was undoubtedly to cooperate with war elephants.

Originally, these mobile troops of the Mauryan Dynasty were similar to those of the Great Qin Dynasty, and were stationed around the capital Huafa City. However, recently, because Shariushuga was going to conquer the Great Qin Dynasty, many of these soldiers were sent to the beach.

According to Shari Saga's previous idea, he would send 150,000 troops to attack the Qin Dynasty. He had basic military knowledge. Even if the Qin Dynasty was weak, it would be almost impossible to take down such a large empire than this. The reason why he did not force his departure now was that even if the warships he built were full of plans, he could not accommodate the 150,000 soldiers and their food and supplies. Otherwise, the impatient Shari Saga would have sent people to set off long ago.

One hundred thousand cavalrymen were definitely a big target on another land. Han Xin and Xiang Yu knew this, so after they arrived, they quickly marched forward and frequently sent scouts to make it possible for them to control when they could completely get out of this unmanned land.

Originally they thought that this large unmanned land would definitely be at least similar to the desolate land of Daqin. However, after only ten days of marching, the scouts in front of them excitedly returned Han Xin. They found a village about a hundred miles ahead, and the scale was not small.

As soon as he heard this news, Han Xin's eyes shone. He ordered the team to set up a camp at that time, and he went back to find Xiang Yu. Such progress was an absolute major event for their troops this time, and Han Xin could not decide by himself.

"What? I saw the crowd so quickly? This is really much earlier than what I had predicted before. According to the Emperor of Qin, it is also much earlier. If you and I were leading the army to attack now, I am afraid the navy over there is still a very long distance away from the Mauryan Dynasty..."

After hearing the news, Xiang Yu silently analyzed that he had read Ying Gao's letter himself. He knew what kind of purpose Ying Gao wanted to achieve, but he did not explain in detail. Han Xin, who was standing next to Xiang Yu, knew that Xiang Yu did not say in detail because of something else, but because once he explained in detail, it made Han Xin think that Xiang Yu was afraid that the Huns under his command would suffer losses.

"Yes, according to the previous plan of the Lord, after I arrived here, I had been familiar with the terrain of the Mauryan Dynasty for at least one month. But now, more than ten days have passed. If I attack rashly and attract hundreds of thousands of troops of the Mauryan Dynasty too early, it would be very unfavorable for me to wait..."

As soon as Han Xin said this, Xiang Yu knew that he did regard the joint troops this time as his own army. In Han Xin's heart, there was no distinction between the 20,000 Qin soldiers and 80,000 Hun cavalry, so Xiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. At least from now on, the Qin Dynasty was indeed sincere in this alliance.

Xiang Yu thought about it for a moment, and a plan appeared in his mind.

"This place is high above the surface. If there is any movement around, you can observe it. Now I am stationed here and sending scouts to the vicinity of the village to investigate. If you can catch one person without paying attention to the village, it would be great."

"The Shanyu means to capture a man from the Mauryan Dynasty and then find out from his mouth where the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty is located? But the emperor once said that I, Daqin and the Mauryan Dynasty, cannot speak. I am afraid that even if I catch them back, no one will understand the language of the Mauryan Dynasty and it will be difficult to deal with it."
