He did not expect that even the famous Li Mu did not know how to destroy the Huns.
In the hall, Li Mu was sitting on a chair.
Wearing a brown gown, his face is a bit rough, but his eyes are getting sharper.
In the bitter cold of this county, the drunkards of Chang'an Jun's Mansion have dissipated their alcohol and revealed their talents again.
He said without any surprise:
"Mu has long said that this is impossible.
"If 50,000 troops can occupy the Xiongnu land, then it would be too small to underestimate the Xiongnu. What Meng Tian did is already very good, and Mu personally commanded it, but he may not be able to do better than Meng Tian.
"The three armies have not moved, and food and grass go first. Without sufficient logistical supplies, the army will definitely not be able to last for long. No matter how brave the lone army is, it will only be defeated.
"You should be glad that Meng Tian did not become arrogant because of his repeated victories and continue to march. Otherwise, Yi Mu had previously speculated that it would be a blessing to have only 20,000 of the 50,000-strong army left at this time."
Ying Jianglu said unwillingly:
"My uncle once said that we should have weapons, food and fodder."
Li Mu sneered and interrupted.
"The grain and grass that your Majesty has shipped to Shangjun is enough for you to fight for two years. You can rely on the border counties to fight on the Great Wall. Isn't this what Meng Tian wants?
"If you want to occupy the land of the Xiongnu, you need to go deep into the desert to plow the ground and sweep the holes. Don't say you can't do it, but you can do it. How can you occupy the land of the Xiongnu with 50,000 people?
"Your Majesty can provide you with food and grass, but where do the people come from? The dilemma in this matter does not lie with things, but with people, and with the country. Think carefully about how the Qin State annexed the seventy-two countries of Xirong!"
Little Taotie recalled the records in "History of Qin".
In the Battle of Confusion between Qin and Jin, Qin was defeated. From this, Duke Mu knew that Qin did not yet have the strength to dominate the Central Plains, so he decisively turned westward and annexed the various armies.
In the thirty-seventh year of Duke Mu's reign, he used Youyu's plan to attack King Rong, annexed twelve countries, and expanded thousands of miles of land. Qin then dominated Xirong.
After that, in order to digest this land, Duke Mu of Qin built a city here, and within ten years he sent old Qin people here to live together with Xirong and intermarry.
To this day, the blood of Xirong flows through the bodies of countless Qin people, but the country of Xirong has never reappeared.
Duke Mu of Qin used the resources of a country and wanted people and things, but it would take ten years to annex the Xirong countries.
How could he, a foreign prince, with a single army, occupy the Huns' land and become king?
Ying Jianglu lowered his head, very depressed.
At the beginning, he took over this fiefdom with a passion that refused to accept his fate, and he did not hesitate to disobey his father. But now his success has failed like this?
A few months ago, he saw with his own eyes that the Huns were defeated one after another by Meng Tian, and fell thousands of miles away. He still fantasized about enjoying the women of the Huns after every battle.
Soon he entered the tent of the king of the Xiongnu, and in front of the Xiongnu Chanyu, he entered the Xiongnu Chanyu's woman.
However, several months passed and he did not even see the shadow of the Huns' royal tent. Facing the Huns who adopted a policy of deep retreat, he had no choice but to do anything.
"Go find your brother."
Ying Jianglu suddenly raised his head, his eyes were filled with stars.
Li Mu’s advice rekindled hope in his already despairing heart!
"Yes, eldest brother is the most benevolent and will definitely help me!"
Ying Jianglu muttered something, swept away his previous decadence, cheered up, and bowed to Li Mu with clasped fists.
"The world says that Lord Wu'an is good at the battlefield, but short at the court. Looking at it now, Wu'an has no shortcomings."
He smiled and complimented.
The knot in my heart is lifted, and everything is exquisite again.
"Get out!"
Li Mu cursed and waved away the guests.
Ten years have passed since the Battle of Handan. He has been hanging out with Han Fei, Gui Guzi, Xunzi and other smart people. It would be strange if he still hasn't made any progress.
"My nephew will come back to visit his uncle again!"
Time is territory, and territory is the throne.
Ying Jiang couldn't wait and didn't hide it in front of Li Mu. He just said a few words and left in a hurry.
Really exposing one's own temperament is a means of drawing closer relationships.
Li Mu was thoughtful after General Ying left.
"He stuttered and said that your Majesty wanted this son to come here in order to draw out the remaining forces of the Chu clan.
“Firstly, it can ask the relatives of the Chu family to do their best to actively defend the border for Qin, and secondly, it can reduce unstable factors in the capital. This is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone.
"Your Majesty is accustomed to conspiracy and tricks. You are capable of such things, but you always feel that something is wrong. Do you need to expose the saddle, stirrups, and horseshoes to defend the border?
"Why does your Majesty want this son to come here? Do you really think that with 50,000 elite cavalry, you can occupy the Huns' land and become the king? It's ridiculous, even if the two grandsons are resurrected, they can't do it!
"That's all, this is not what Mu is good at, so I don't want to think about it anymore."
Clinging to the window lattice, Li Mu looked west, his eyes burning with a burning desire for war.
"If this son can really get Ying Fusu to give an order, the seven northwest counties will be unified to support him in attacking the Xiongnu. If he can go and visit the Huns, then he will be the master of animal husbandry!"
Ying Jianglu easily met his brother, the Prince of Qin, Ying Fusu.
As soon as the two brothers met, Ying Jianglu was in a trance, and had a faint feeling that he had met the First Emperor.
"The Xiongnu land is so big that even my little glutton can't eat it?"
Ying Fusu's joke made Ying Jianglu wake up from his dream. He felt a leaning feeling behind him. He looked back slightly and realized that he had been led to his seat by his elder brother unknowingly.
"With this evil aura, good, our Ying family is expected to have a general. I didn't expect that among our brothers, the third brother would be the first to realize his childhood dream."
Ying Fusu praised him highly and smiled widely.
But this praise made Ying Jianglu unhappy.
If you are a general, doesn't that mean you can't be a king?
Has the eldest brother decided that the throne belongs to him?
He forced a smile, hoping that he was overthinking it.
I wanted to open my mouth to joke with my eldest brother, but I couldn't. I couldn't help but secretly curse myself for being useless.
It stands to reason that he developed his courage and physical strength in the war with the Xiongnu, which is different from what he did in Xianyang.
But when he was in Xianyang, he treated his eldest brother in a condescending manner and looked down upon him as a younger brother. He felt that his eldest brother could not compare with him in everything except that he was born early.
Today, he feels that he has grown greatly and is sitting in front of his elder brother, but for the first time he feels restrained.
"Speak directly if you have anything to say. You and I, brothers, don't be polite."
Ying Fusu patted his third brother on the shoulder and smiled cheerfully.
"Then I'll tell you straight away."
Ying Jianglu took a deep breath, eliminated distracting thoughts, and recovered his divergent thoughts.
The most important thing today is the Xiongnu land.
Based on his understanding of the eldest brother, the eldest brother will definitely help him occupy the Xiongnu land and become the king.
When the court was enfeoffed and the prefectures and counties were fighting, he went to Dazheng Palace to ask his eldest brother's opinion. The eldest brother was a staunch enfeoffmentist and said, "If there are no relatives and heroes are divided in all directions, how can the central government be stable?"
.
"The affairs of the seven northwest counties will be decided by my eldest brother. Please help me conquer the Xiongnu land!"
