5th May 1796

On the edge of the desert not far north of the Great Qin King, the King of Qin and his important officials sat on the ground. The guards pulled up huge curtains around them. Several guard soldiers stood with guns facing the curtains and observed the surroundings with vigil.

This is a large-scale hunting campaign, with the main targets of active yellow sheep, wild donkeys around the leaflets, and a wild wolf that feeds on them.

The little bit of flesh obtained from hunting is not worth mentioning to the Qin Dynasty and the Qin army, but Xu Daixuan still had to call for such events frequently.

Because there are too many foreign troops in the Qin army, hunting is also an effective training method for these cold weapon troops.

Moreover, this kind of training consumes relatively little prey to replenish meat, fur can be sold to China, and there is no need to consume gunpowder and other materials that can only be replenished from China.

During the hunting break, Xu Daixuan would also summon the heads of each battalion to attend the banquet. During the banquet, he would reward and punish the foreign soldiers to a certain extent to strengthen his authority.

"Soren's Third Camp Cheerge, presented a piece of tiger skin, made meritorious, and gave each of salt and tea one hundred kilograms!"

A Pars eunuch holding yellow silk, chanting loudly:

"Mengwu's camp bites the pillars and offers three wild bison heads. He has made contributions and appreciates salt and tea each with 80 kilograms!"

"Telle's Tuman, the marching and retreating without any basis, causing the prey to escape. He is guilty! He is punished with five horses with saddles!"

The head of the Tiel tribe who was punished was dejected. Five horses with saddles were not a large number, but they were definitely not small. What's more, he was punished by someone who was rewarded. This different treatment would naturally make people even more difficult to accept.

Xu Daixuan looked at him coldly. If he showed a hint of dissatisfaction, more serious punishment would follow.

There is no way, who made the Tieler people a local household who once defected to Pars but had no camp?

Xu Daixuan couldn't trust them a little.

However, the other Tartars, whether it is Sauron, Mongolia or Tubo, are thousands of miles away from their hometowns in Suoye, and are surrounded by completely different ethnic groups in all aspects such as their culture, living habits, etc. The only thing they can rely on is the swords and guns in their hands and the empire behind them.

No matter what deep hatred and great hatred these people have with the empire before, they will never betray them since they have arrived here.

So Xu Daixuan would give them some benefits frequently and use the tier to compare them to stimulate the foreign soldiers to perform more positively.

The foreign soldiers and officers who had little knowledge all enjoyed this, especially Xu Daixuan's rewards were very real benefits. Salt and tea were considered hard currency in the Western Regions. It was also a very practical necessity for Sauron, Mengwu and Tubo.

Several foreign soldiers and officers knelt down happily for rewards. Xu Daixuan stood up, first gave a message of encouragement, and then said loudly:

"If the energy has warmed up today, the Pars thieves are gathering troops in Hezhong Prefecture, preparing to avenge last year's one arrow!"

This is an enemy situation report.

Just as Xu Daixuan always wanted to defeat Hezhong Mansion, the Pars also wanted to recover Balashaguon.

The Sogdian merchants who traded on the Silk Road had sold an important piece of information to the Pars, the emperor of the Qin State, had arrived at a place called Hezhong Prefecture by the Han people and the Pars were called Samarkand.

The troops that followed this Central Asian king were 200,000!

Xu Daixuan didn't know if this was a real number, nor did he know whether it was a pure war army or a number after being counted as an auxiliary soldier. He still had too little knowledge of the national conditions of Pals. He could almost only obtain some second-hand information through captives, merchants and Tiel people.

According to the summary of these information, Pars should be a powerful country with a large region and a large population.

In terms of population and area alone, it is probably equivalent to the empire before the unification of Jiangnan.

If this information is correct, then the emperor of Pals personally may indeed bring out 200,000 warriors.

"I heard that the thief has 200,000 soldiers, and vowed to flatten the city of Saiye." Xu Daixuan smiled and said, "I only have 20,000 soldiers under my command, and even if the Tiel tribe soldiers are added, it is only 30,000. Moreover, the mother country China also has its own war to fight, so we have no reinforcements."

After saying these words, Xu Daixuan carefully observed the foreign soldiers and officers surrounding him.

The eyes of Concubine Tiele kept dodging, and she didn't dare to look directly at Xu Daixuan, as they seemed to be shaken.

After hearing that the Pars were 200,000, the nobles in the Western Regions made waves of panic-like crying, and they seemed to be still full of fear of the Pars.

But those Sauron, Mengwu and Tubo who moved from east to the Pamir Mountains with the Han army, felt no trouble when they heard the news, and seemed to be a little worried.

"King." Chaerge, the commander of the Third Battalion of Soren, who had just been rewarded, said carelessly: "What are the 200,000 soldiers, but only 200,000 sheep!"

"Please take us to attack Hezhong Mansion! If we kill these fat sheep, we can live a good life!"

Sauron, Mengwu, and the Tubo battalion commanders responded loudly.

These barbarians were not afraid of the enemy troops of up to 200,000, but they were more confident in the Han people, who were the main force of the Qin army.

Although this unit has only 5,000 people, long-term practical experience tells them that there are more than 1,000 Han people, so it is basically impossible to win head-on, let alone now they have 5,000 people!

Xu Daixuan was quite satisfied with the morale of the foreign soldiers. At least the Tartars in Liaodong, grasslands and plateaus were all very morale. As for the people of the Western Regions and Tielites..., haha, they could only fight with the wind.

Now, even though these people have better equipment than before, they have participated in many big readings and hunting, and their combat skills have been greatly improved, but the psychological disadvantages brought about by Pars' suppression for hundreds of years cannot be regained in a short period of time.

Of course, as long as the Chinese army wins a few more cheerful victories, at least those young people in the Western Regions who are not so afraid of Pars will probably be in a much better state.

"Battleman Commander Cheerge said it well. We must fight to Hezhong Mansion."

Xu Daixuan said with a smile:

"But it's not now. Since the thieves gathered 200,000 troops, they can't always be turtles in Hezhong Mansion."

The surrounding area of ​​Hezhong Prefecture can be regarded as the most prosperous area in Central Asia, but it is still not enough to support the 200,000 army for too long. What's even more fatal is that the proportion of Pars' cavalry is quite high. To support so many horses, it is definitely a burden that Hezhong Prefecture cannot afford.

"The thieves will definitely come to take the initiative to attack. When they arrive at the Thunder Ye City from Hezhong Prefecture, they need to pass through Jishan (Kyrgyz Mountains) in the middle. This is a huge obstacle to the logistics of the bandits."

"We just need to wait for the thief to come and die at Broken Leaf."

Xu Daixuan smiled and said:

"I can tell you that although reinforcements from the mother country cannot come, we can get other support."

In response to the expected gaze of the foreign soldiers under his subordinates, Xu Daixuan revealed the mystery with a little smug satisfaction:

"The mother country will soon send us cannons! Twenty!"
Chapter completed!
