The barbarians broke through the gate of Dahuang Mansion, and millions of troops marched straight into Dahuang Mansion, starting a dispute for the war.
Subsequently.
July 26th, the 383rd year of the Qin Dynasty.
Zhou Dynasty, which had always been at odds with Da Qin, suddenly sent its army south and invaded Luo'an Prefecture, destroying several cities in a short period of time and causing heavy losses to the army in Luo'an Prefecture.
In order to deal with the attacks from the two forces.
Great Qin first dispatched 800,000 Huolin troops to Dahuang Mansion to provide support.
later.
Another 800,000 Canglong Army and 1.2 million elite troops were dispatched, a total of 2 million troops, heading towards Luo'an Mansion in a mighty manner.
The Great War broke out.
For two months.
Zhou Dynasty intensified its attack on Luo'an Prefecture. Fortunately, with the reinforcements sent by the imperial court, Luo'an Prefecture did not fall into the hands of Da Zhou.
at the same time.
On the barbarian side, they also sent more troops.
At the court meeting.
The Great Qin Shenghuang Gu Xuanji looked solemn, and there was a strong murderous intention brewing in the court meeting.
Below.
“Your Majesty, half a month ago the barbarians increased their army by 1.2 million to cope with the original invasion of Dahuang Mansion. The number of troops still remaining now totals 2 million.
Although the Black Tiger Army and the Fire Lin Army are stationed in Dahuang Mansion, they are also under great pressure.
According to the news from Tianchawei, the barbarians are still showing signs of increasing their troops, and we need to be the first to take precautions!"
Dongfang Zhao looked calm and reported on the battle situation on the front line.
Tianchawei is not only the eyes and ears of the Demon Suppressor, but also the eyes and ears of Da Qin.
Although the imperial court itself also cultivated an intelligence department, compared with the Tianchawei, it was far behind.
Gu Xuanji looked indifferent.
“How many additional troops do you think our Great Qin should send?”
"I am not good at marching and fighting. If I give advice rashly, I am afraid it will delay the military situation!"
Dongfang Zhao lowered his head and replied.
Gu Xuanji looked at him silently, and after a moment, he nodded slightly.
“I understand.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Dongfang Zhao handed over his hand again and then retreated.
Soon.
Gu Xuanji turned his attention to other people.
“I believe you have all heard what Dongfang Guard said. The situation is tense now. Dahuang Mansion is our Daqin territory and must not fall into the hands of barbarians. Do you have any countermeasures?”
The words have fallen.
A minister went out.
“Your Majesty, it is clear that the barbarians want to capture our Dahuang Mansion. All we can do now is to send reinforcements. We must not let the barbarians capture the Dahuang Mansion. It is already autumn.
In a few more days, it will be a severe cold winter.
The barbarian wilderness is located in a difficult area. If winter comes, the barbarians will have no way to maintain their offensive and will definitely have to retreat.
By that time, the crisis in Dahuang Mansion will be solved!"
Hear the words.
Prime Minister Fu Yan also nodded his head in approval. After the other party finished speaking, he stood up and accepted the conversation.
“Master Liu is right, but there are still two or three months until winter. Such a time is enough for many changes to occur. In addition, the barbarians’ return reinforcements in winter must have a prerequisite, that is, there is no way to replenish supplies.
If the barbarians are allowed to plunder resources in Dahuang Mansion, they may not retreat even if winter comes."
The biggest gap between the barbarians and the Qin Dynasty lies in resources.
Shortage of resources.
And the barbarians have a large population.
Every winter, a number of people die.
to this end.
Every year before and after winter, the barbarians will bravely invade the Great Wilderness Mansion, with the purpose of plundering resources so that the entire barbarian tribe can survive the severe winter.
Although some people will die if they invade Dahuang Mansion, more barbarians can survive.
But if we don’t attack Dahuang Mansion.
The people who died would be a large number of barbarians.
Choose between one and the other.
It is not difficult for them to make decisions.
so.
The barbarians are now invading Dahuang Mansion, but they also have a big shortcoming, and that is the problem of resource supply.
Usual times.
The wilderness is not too difficult, and it can still supply resources, allowing the army to invade Dahuang Mansion. After entering Dahuang Mansion, the army can also loot resources to replenish consumption, so there is no need to worry too much.
But once winter comes, it will be a big problem.
After Fu Yan finished speaking, a minister said: "Master Fu's problem is actually not a big problem. The resources that the barbarians plundered came from Dahuang Mansion, but the consumption of millions of troops is not the resources they are plundering now.
What can be supplemented.
I thought it would be enough to just go down and order each city and place to guard the resources and prevent the barbarians from plundering unscrupulously."
“This is indeed a solution.”
Fu Yan nodded, then shook his head with a half-smile.
“Unfortunately, sometimes, the resources of the barbarians are not just as simple as plundering.”
“What do Prime Minister Fu’s words mean?”
Gu Xuanji frowned.
Fu Yan bowed, then straightened up, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you don't know something. Now that Dahuang Mansion is in war, many businessmen are secretly providing resources to the barbarians, so that the barbarian resources remain sufficient."
"Impossible!" A minister directly interrupted Fu Yan: "The merchants are also from Qin, so how can they provide resources to the barbarians!"
“Yes or no, Dongfang Guards should know better than me.”
Fu Yan smiled faintly.
Gu Xuanji turned his attention to Dongfang Zhao: "Dongfang Guards, is what the Prime Minister said true?"
"yes!"
With everyone watching, Dongfang Zhao nodded calmly.
followed by.
He added: "The barbarians secretly sent people to sneak into various places to purchase grain and other materials at high prices. In order to make profits, some businessmen would secretly smuggle those materials to the barbarians.
For this reason, the Demon Suppressing Division has cooperated with local government offices and captured many people."
Hear the words.
Many ministers were shocked, and some even cursed angrily.
“You are not a son of a man, but as a Qin citizen, you are providing resources to the barbarians. Do they know that doing this is tantamount to putting our great Qin in the wrong place.”
“For every resource provided, a lot of men will die on our Daqin frontline. They deserve to be killed!”
“hateful”
The sound of angry curses and spitting resounded in the hall.
Gu Xuanji’s face was cold and he looked at Dongfang Zhao: “How to deal with those people?”
“They are all imprisoned in various yamen. To be more specific, they must be left to your Majesty’s disposal.”
Dongfang Zhao handed over his hand and replied.
“Disposal!”
“What do you think I should do?”
Gu Xuanji asked a question in return, but Dongfang Zhao lowered his head and did not answer.
He looked at the other ministers, his expressions cold and frightening.
“Being a Qin citizen but colluding with the enemy and betraying the country is tantamount to colluding with the human race and betraying the Qin. This is a capital crime. I have ordered that all those who secretly colluded with the barbarians and secretly sold resources to the barbarians will be punished with death.
At the same time, nine tribes were implicated, and all the men were sent to the death camps, while the women were sent to the Jiaofang Division. There must be no mistake!"
"in addition"
“From now on, if anyone dares to collude with the barbarians, the three Yi tribes!”
Yi Tribe!
Most people's faces turned pale and they lowered their heads instinctively.
Compared to the Jiulian tribe, the Yi tribe is undoubtedly more cruel.
What are the three Yi tribes?
The father's clan, the mother's clan, and the wife's clan are the three Yi clans.
In the Qin Dynasty, the three Yi tribes were much more serious than the nine Zhulian tribes. It was rare for the Yi tribe to suffer the same fate, but once it did, it would be a massacre.
but.
No minister dared to plead for mercy.
Everyone can see that Gu Xuanji is very angry right now, and anyone who dares to speak may be implicated.
Moreover.
From their point of view, if the country is still struggling to make money at this time, it is indeed worthy of death.
Although the guilt of the Yi tribe is heavy, it also serves as a great warning.
In such circumstances.
If there are still people who dare to risk beheading to betray the Qin Dynasty, then it is really not a pity to die.
After Gu Xuanji gave the order, his demeanor softened a bit.
"Pass my order to dispatch another 700,000 troops from all over the country to reinforce Dahuang Mansion. I don't want to expel all the barbarians, but we must not allow the barbarians to advance even one centimeter. When winter comes, I want them to die without a place to bury them!
"
It’s winter.
The barbarians have to ensure the survival of the tribe and also provide support to the barbarians in Dahuang Mansion. At that time, it will not be as simple as one or two barbarians who die.
Now the barbarians are powerful, and they have help from the great Zhou Dynasty.
With the power of Dahuang Mansion, it is obviously unrealistic to expel them all.
so.
For the time being, this is all we can do.
“Luo Pei, I’ll leave this matter to you!”
“I obey your orders!”
One person bows down to receive orders.
Then.
Gu Xuanji looked at Yang Yu who was silent.
“Over at the Imperial College, is there any news about the two great Confucian scholars heading to Daliang and Dayue?”
“Your Majesty, the journey to Daliang and Dayue is long, and it will probably take some time.”
Yang Yu responded with his hands raised.
Gu Xuanji nodded: "Hurry up, if Daliang and Dayue can take action, I, Daqin, can also reduce some pressure!"
“I understand.”
Yang Yu replied.
Although the Qin Dynasty was strong, it was still under a lot of pressure to compete with the barbarians and the Zhou Dynasty, not to mention the evil spirits raging among them.
Faced with the attacks from the two forces, Da Qin has already switched from offense to defense.
no way.
If you don't defend and choose to fight head-on, Great Qin will only collapse faster.
Now only a little bit of defense can contain the attacks of the two forces, and then seize the opportunity to reverse the situation.
followed by.
Gu Xuanji said: "Now, is there any big move between Yaoxie and the Eternal Life Alliance?"
“Your Majesty, the evil is still rampant in various places, but the demon-suppressing departments in various places have tried their best to suppress it. It can barely be maintained for the time being, but the current situation of evil is becoming more and more serious, and the situation cannot be sustained for long.
As for the Eternal Alliance, ordinary demons have nothing to worry about.”
Dongfang Zhao said in a deep voice.
The biggest threat to the Demon-Suppressing Division is the evil spirits. Generally speaking, the demons are not very strong. The Eternal Life Alliance can threaten one region or another, but there is absolutely no way to threaten the entire Great Qin.
Those that can threaten Da Qin.
Only the evil spirits behind the Eternal Alliance will do.
Gu Xuanji nodded.
“We must defend ourselves against the evil spirits with all our strength, and we must not let them cause any trouble at this juncture.”
