Chapter 45 The First Emperor's Regret

How courage does it take for decades of perseverance? What kind of tenacity does it take?

Not to mention, this is in the hinterland of the Huns. Without the replenishment of soldiers and material supplies, the bloody battles they experienced and the difficulties they encountered were really unimaginable.

However, it was under such difficult and difficult conditions that they had persevered, and perhaps this was the backbone of China!

In addition to being moved, Zhou Yang was also moved. He wiped his tears and wanted to say something praise, but he couldn't say it. That's because no words are enough to praise!

Zhao Ponu and the others wiped their tears and started crying.

This is the first time that Qin Wuhui and his friends have seen their compatriots in decades, and they have been recognized by their compatriots for the first time!

Although one represents the Qin Dynasty and the other represents the Han Dynasty, in a sense, is an irreconcilable enemy, however, they are all passionate men and they have a common goal, that is, to fight the Huns!

This recognition moved Qin Wuhui and cried even more sadly.

As soon as he cried, Zhou Yang and the others wanted to say words of comfort, but they could not find the right words, so they could only cry.

This was the difficulties and grievances of decades, the difficulties and grievances of generations, and the world was so sad that Qin Wuhui cried for an hour before he stopped his tears.

After this crying, Qin Wuhui became much more energetic. Zhou Yang put his tears in his eyes and asked, "Hetao is the hinterland of the Huns. You have few people. How do you deal with it when the Huns fight? It is not easy to stick to it for decades."

Qin Wuhui had a smile on his face: "The land of Hetao is rich, water and grass is strong, and it is a natural pasture. After the Huns relocated here, they raised war horses here. Now, there are fifty or six hundred thousand war horses in Hetao."

"Five or Six Hundreds of Thousand?" Although Zhou Yang knew that the Hetao land was suitable for raising horses, and the Huns must have many war horses here, he did not expect that there were so many.

"Maybe less said." Qin Wuhui continued: "The Huns have heavy troops in the Hetao Sect, and we have to fight with them many times a year. The reason why we can stick to it is because of the treasures left by General Meng."

"Meng Tian's relics?" Zhou Yang admired Meng Tian, ​​the great hero. When he heard this, he was very surprised: "Can I see it?"

"If you want to see it, of course it's OK. If your general comes, I won't show it to him." Qin Wuhui looked at Zhou Yang: "You are so young, at most you are a lieutenant, so it's okay to show you."

Zhou Yang was indeed a lieutenant, but he was the lieutenant who commanded the Han army at the border. He was wrong. Zhou Yang and the others naturally would not say it out loud and asked, "Why?"

"That's because if your general read it, it will definitely take it away." Qin Wuhui did not hide it: "This is a detailed picture of the Hetao land."

A map is worth thousands of troops. How valuable is the military map used by Meng Tian? Zhou Yang's heart beat violently.

Qin Wuhui took out a thick silk from the lacquer box in the corner of the tent and placed it on the ground. Zhou Yang and the others helped to expand the map. After Zhou Yang took a look, his hands trembled and his eyes blinked red, and he was so excited.

This is a military map, a map hand-painted by Meng Tian, ​​and the signature is "Painted by Meng Tian in the 35th year of the First Emperor".

Meng Tian was versatile. He was not only a general who was good at fighting, but also an inventor. He had improved his brushes and made many weapons for the Qin army. His hand-drawn maps were more accurate and more applicable than others.

The map is painted with mountains, rivers, grasslands, water sources, mountains, rivers, and lakes clearly marked, even if it is not worse than the geographical details of modern society.

With such an accurate map in hand, Qin Wuhui and the others could not defeat the Huns, so they could not hide it?

"God! This is the most exquisite map I have ever seen." Zhao Ponu rubbed his hands straight, his eyes staring like copper bells, and his hot light was shining.

Qin Wuhui pointed to the map and explained: "During the Battle of Hetao, this picture had not been drawn yet. After the Battle of Hetao, the Qin Dynasty captured the land of Hetao. General Meng sent people to draw the drawing and finally painted it. General Meng said that the Qin Dynasty did not understand Hu, and it was crucial to master the mountains and rivers of Hu."

Zhao Ponu glanced at Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang sent someone to draw the geography of the Huns this time. The two were separated by decades, but they did the same. Are these visionary people the same?

Qin Wuhui was very excited. Perhaps it was the first time in decades when facing his compatriots, he pointed to the map and his voice was a little loud: "This is here. The First Emperor originally wanted to build a city here and move some people to come, and the land of Hetao would be as stable as Mount Tai!"

"Build a city?" Zhou Yang's eyes suddenly widened, and his light flashed.

Zhao Ponu asked in confusion: "Although the Hetao land is good at raising horses, it is a barren land. What's the use of building a city?"

"How far is the First Emperor? How can you understand?" Qin Wuhui sneered, then pointed to the map to explain: "Look, how close is Hetao to Guanzhong? It's seven hundred miles, only seven hundred miles! With the speed of the Xiongnu cavalry, it's only a few days to arrive in Guanzhong. Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, is in Guanzhong. The Xiongnu set off from Hetao and threatened Xianyang in just a few days. Do you think this matter is worrying?"

It is not worrying, it is worrying. It is a huge thing to expose the capital of any country to the threat of the enemy and cannot be tolerated.

The land of Hetao is crucial to the Central Plains, especially several dynasties that have established capital of Guanzhong, such as the Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty. They regard the land of Hetao as the top priority. The reason is that it is too close to Guanzhong, which can easily threaten the capital and must be taken seriously.

It was precisely because of this that Qin Shihuang decided to send troops to Hetao and recover Hetao. At that time, there was a lot of pressure to oppose, and even Li Si opposed it, saying that this was a barren land and that troops should not be sent.

After Emperor Wu of Han sent Wei Qing to capture the Hetao land, he immediately built a city here, which was Shuofang City. In the current territory of Ordos, the ruins are still there. The Tang Dynasty's management of the Hetao land reached an unprecedented height.

Although Zhou Yang commanded nearly 200,000 troops, he had little thoughts about strategy. After hearing Qin Wuhui's words, he had to admire that Qin Shihuang is worthy of being a rare emperor in Chinese history, and how long his vision is.

If the Qin Dynasty really wanted to build a city here, then the Hetao land would be firmly in the hands of the Qin Dynasty. It would be able to shepherd war horses in the Hetao land on a large scale, and its strength would be greatly increased.

Just as Zhou Yang was admiring, Qin Wuhui pointed to the map and pointed eastward: "The Hetao land not only faces Guanzhong, but also a huge threat to the eastward. The Huns mostly sent troops from here to send troops from Yanmen, Dingxiang, Daijun, and Yunzhong. When was it disturbed? The Hetao land missing? Even if the Huns did not send troops from here, they still needed war horses here. Even if they did not use war horses here, they also needed reinforcements here."

The south of Hetao is Guanzhong, and the east is the north. The strategic position is very important, and it is managed by the powerful dynasties of all dynasties.

"If you want to protect the country and the people, the Hetao land must be taken down!" Zhou Yang clenched his fists.

Qin Wuhui looked at Zhou Yang with some surprise, and his fingers started from Hetao, headed north and went deep into Mobei with a very high tone: "The First Emperor was the idea of ​​building a city in Hetao first, shepherding war horses, and accumulating military strength. When the time is ripe, he marched towards Mobei and completely dealt with the Xiongnu! Although Touman Shanyu was defeated by Hetao, he fled back to Mobei. He was resting and recuperating. Once the Xiongnu soldiers were strong and horses were strong, he would turn around to nudge China. How smart is the First Emperor? How could he give him a chance?"

Before he could finish his words, he shook his head. Everyone knew what happened later. The Qin Dynasty was destroyed, Maodun unified the Huns, and turned around to attack the Han Dynasty. He almost captured Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang alive. It was a disaster that was rare in ancient and modern times.
