Chapter 47 Good words can’t persuade a damned person
Chen Qilin looked at Mao Dun and said: "With your methods, no one can compete with you for the throne of the Xiongnu Chanyu!"
Maodun, a tyrant who killed his father and established a wife, took his mother as his own, was fierce and cunning, and had a trench in his chest. He was indeed invincible among the Xiongnu.
"Sir, then why did you say that my future will be dark?" Seeing Mr. Tiandaolou stop speaking, Modu asked again.
He couldn't understand. Since he could become the King of the Huns, shouldn't he have a bright future? How could he not see the future?
Chen Qilin looked at him and said, "Because you provoked someone you shouldn't have provoked!"
"Someone who shouldn't be provoked?" Mao Dun was even more confused.
Chen Qilin said: "You Xiongnu went to the border of Qin to burn, kill and loot when they had nothing to do, and angered Qin Shihuang. It will be a matter of time before your Xiongnu will be destroyed!"
"Is it that serious?" Mao Dun sneered.
Chen Qilin nodded:
"Of course, Great Qin's power cannot be violated!
You now have two options:
One is to go back and convince Touman Shanyu to lead the Xiongnu to surrender to the Qin Dynasty and become Qin Shihuang's subjects, so as to avoid destruction;
The second is to continue to fight against Da Qin, so that when you return to the grassland, you can eat as much as you want with your cheap man, and play as much as you want. The rest of your life is short, so cherish it!"
What Chen Qilin said is true. Qin Shihuang would have lived for decades longer if he had not died suddenly in Sand Dune. Even without his vicious plan, Qin Shihuang would have defeated the Xiongnu!
Chen Qilin's strategy is just to advance all this.
When Mao Dun heard this, his face was quite ugly, as dark as the bottom of a pot.
The attendant also had an angry look on his face, but he did not dare to do anything disrespectful towards Chen Qilin. The body of the brother just now was still lying there and not getting cold!
Modun was silent for a while and then asked Chen Qilin: "Sir, is there a third option?"
Chen Qilin shook his head, pointed in the direction of the door, and said: "Okay, where is the Prince Moton Gate? You can leave without seeing me off!"
Mao Dun suppressed the anger in his chest and walked out of Tiandao Tower with his followers.
He did not believe that the Qin Dynasty could destroy the Xiongnu.
The Huns were skilled with bows and horses, and everyone was good at riding and shooting. They came and went like the wind. Although the Qin Dynasty had cavalry, they were far less numerous than the Huns.
In the vast prairie, the Qin army wanted to destroy the Xiongnu who came and went like the wind, but it was just a dream!
Mao Dun left, but the body was not taken away.
Because carrying a corpse in Xianyang City would be inconvenient and a burden.
Chen Qilin looked at Mao Dun and his entourage who were holding back their anger and left, shook his head and sighed:
"Good words can't persuade a damned person, and mercy can't help but kill people!"
Originally, he thought that Maodun had the means and commanded the troops well, and because of the Xiongnu's high prestige, he could show the enemy a way to survive.
Who would have thought that Mao Dun would not listen to the advice at all!
Chen Qilin looked at the corpse and said: "System, recover the corpse!"
In an instant, the body was recovered.
Chen Qilin received 0.5 Tiandao points.
He casually exchanged the jade wolf tooth for 25 Tiandao points.
The current balance of Tiandao points is 145.5.
If you want to upgrade your cultivation level from the seventh level to the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, you need 500 Heavenly Dao Points, which is much less.
He could only save some points of Heavenly Dao first.
Chen Qilin and Ge You collapsed leisurely on the sofa, pulled out a thick cigar, put it in the corner of his mouth and puffed away!
Go outside Tiandao Tower.
The entourage said angrily: "Headman, this Tiandao Building owner is deceiving the public with his evil words. It is really abominable. How about we set fire to the Tiandao Building and burn him to death?!"
Mao Dun stared at his entourage coldly: "The owner of Tiandao Tower is a popular figure in the eyes of Ying Zheng's thieves, and his methods are powerful. Your attempt to burn down Tiandao Tower is just like seeking death! Stop talking nonsense and follow me!"
If Mao Dun is not sure about something, he will never do it.
"It's... the leader!" The follower said no more.
…
Daying, suburb of Xianyang.
Wang Jian, who had washed his hands in a golden basin, came out again and took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the army to destroy the Xiongnu in the north.
But at this moment, he was sitting in the big tent and sighing at the scrolls of bamboo books.
After Wang Jian carefully studied the information about the Xiongnu, he discovered a problem.
Da Qin doesn’t have enough war horses!
Although the total number of cavalry in the Qin Dynasty was more than 30,000, compared with the hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry, the cavalry in the Qin Dynasty was still pitifully small, and they still lacked horses.
Even if His Majesty adopts Mr. Tiandaolou's vicious plan to drain the Huns, and eventually wants to force the Huns to surrender or destroy them, the Qin Dynasty will still need a large number of cavalry with powerful combat capabilities.
One of the keys to cavalry is the war horse.
No matter how brave and well-trained the Qin cavalry were, if Qin's 30,000 cavalrymen wanted to attack a long distance, a cavalryman had to carry several horses with him to change horses.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to travel long distances.
Horseshoes (horseshoes) had not been invented in this era. When horses carried cavalry loads and ran long distances for a long time, the horseshoes could easily crack or even fall off, so a war horse was basically useless.
A war horse without hoofs will cause the cavalry to completely lose its combat effectiveness.
Generally, cavalrymen who want to travel long distances will bring several horses and ride them in rotation to reduce the load and protect the horses' hooves.
The Xiongnu had many horses. Every time they plundered the Qin Dynasty, each cavalryman would bring at least four or five, and as many as ten, horses. In this way, they could rotate the horses and ride them, so that they could come and go like the wind.
However, the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty did not have so many horses to rotate. Each cavalry usually only had two horses at most, and many cavalry only had one horse!
This is also the reason why Meng Tian led an army of 300,000 in the northern border and could only passively adopt defensive methods and build the Great Wall.
Due to the limited horses, it was impossible to catch up with the Hun cavalry that came and went like the wind!
Wang Jian murmured to himself: "If the horse problem is not solved, the plan to completely surrender or eliminate the Huns will be greatly affected!"
In the battle to destroy the Xiongnu, the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty must come and go as smoothly as the wind. He believed that each of the more than 30,000 cavalrymen of the Qin Dynasty must be equipped with at least four horses.
This would also require adding at least nearly 80,000 high-quality war horses, which is not a small number.
Only in this way, combined with a large number of infantry, could Wang Jian be sure to completely eliminate the Xiongnu.
After hesitating for a while, Wang Jian decided to meet the First Emperor.
…
Xianyang, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
After Wang Jian reported the situation to Ying Zheng in detail, he waited quietly.
Ying Zheng paced back and forth, his brows furrowed.
It was not easy for Da Qin to organize this cavalry force of more than 30,000 people. Many of the horses were sold and bought from the Western Regions through merchants.
Now, if Ying Zheng is asked to gather nearly 80,000 high-quality war horses at once, he has no choice!
In the whole world, only the Xiongnu, Yuezhi, Donghu and other powerful grassland countries can produce 80,000 excellent war horses at once.
But they were at odds with Da Qin, so there was no way they could sell their horses to Da Qin!
By smuggling?
The quantity is very limited!
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian and said, "Wu Chenghou, do you have to have such a war horse? Can't you arrange more infantry?"
"Your Majesty, if we want to achieve the desired effect by destroying the Xiongnu in the north this time and include the Xiongnu territory into our Great Qin territory, we must prepare another 80,000 war horses!
Originally, the number of Qin's cavalry was far less than that of the Xiongnu. If our cavalry can no longer keep up with the Xiongnu's cavalry due to the problem of war horses, this battle will be impossible to fight!" Wang Jian said, putting aside his challenge.
Ying Zheng frowned even more and said angrily: "Wang Jian, Wang Jian, you are just giving me problems! Do you think I am a god? I can suddenly conjure 80,000 war horses for you!"
As he was talking, Ying Zheng suddenly thought of someone.
