Chapter 1406 I will destroy the country
In June, the Western King Anthok III of Anthok, led 20,000 troops to hunt down the Qin army to the extreme east city. Because the enemy was powerful, Jiang Hu occupied the city and defended it. He fought against the city for three days. The two sides were injured. The Anthok army retreated to chase and kill the Dayue tribe. Jiang Hu had just arrived in the West and the situation was unclear, so he did not act rashly, but sent scouts to inquire from all directions. Therefore, there was a rough map and the general distribution of Western countries in the emergency report sent back.
Dayuan is in the east, Kangju is in the north, Anxue is in the west, Daxia is in the southwest, and in the south, it poisons all the countries. Now the Dayuezhi, who loots Dayuan, has broken through the Lanshi City, the capital of Daxia, and is fighting with Anxu.
The news from Western countries was presented to the people of the Great Qin for the first time, but what interested everyone the most was another news, that was, the whereabouts of Li Shun, who was ordered to send a mission to the Western countries, were unknown, and the reason why King Anxi, whose territory and population were less than that of the Great Qin, personally led his troops to chase the mission was that Li Shun's mission abducted the King Anxi's fiancee Princess Asia.
Asia, the princess of Susa, who is 30,000 miles away from the west, is in her ninth year of youth and is unparalleled in her beauty.
The praise of unparalleled beauty was not said by others, but written by Hou Jianghu, Yinshan, in an urgent report.
Although Jiang Hu had never seen Asia, the Dayuan people in Jidong City and the business travelers who came and went to see this unknown princess, this did not prevent Jiang Hu from thinking about it.
Based on his little understanding of the West and his understanding of Li Shun's delegation, if Asia's appearance could not reach the unparalleled realm, Li Shun would not have risked the princess being chased by the tens of thousands of Anxi Army.
Although the Anxi people went to seek revenge from the Great Yuezhi people, the culprit that stirred up the Western war was Li Shun's delegation. Because the three thousand Anxi people who were chasing the Li Shun delegation were just corpses all over the ground by the Great Yuezhi people under the Jidong City. According to the news that Jiang Hu inquired in Jidong City, the Anxi people came with great enthusiasm. In just half an hour, the barbaric Great Yuezhi was chased for dozens of miles in one breath. It was said that only more than 300 people escaped back.
To be honest, Jiang Hu deeply feels the frustration of the Rest Man.
The Great Yuezhi was just a small group of people who escaped from the Yuezhi people, with only a few thousand people. Then they slowly accumulated some strength by stealing and looting in the deserts of the Western Regions. Then they broke through the capital of Cheshi Kingdom without knowing the height of heaven and earth, killed the king of Cheshi Kingdom, angered Li Xin, who was stationed in Yumen. So just passed, the Great Yuezhi was injured more than half, and left hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep, horses, and tens of thousands of women, children, and young and escaped and ascended to heaven.
Although this group of beggar-like grassland tribes were beaten like grandsons in front of the Qin Dynasty, when facing the Western countries, they were like eating the Vajra Dali Pill. They first attacked the Kangju Kingdom tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Although Kangju took advantage of the right time, place and people, they did not take any advantage. They let the Dayuezhi leave, and the Dayuezhi turned around and captured the capital of Dayuan. Not only did they rob and waste blood, but also burned the Jidong City with a fire. This was not the most fierce. What surprised Jiang Hu the most was that the Dayuezhi did not station in Dayuan, but brought hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep, horses and tens of thousands of tribes to rebel for more than 2,000 miles in a row. In just over a month, they captured the capital of Daxia.
After that, Jiang Hu did not write the war between Dayuezhi and Anxi, because it would take time to inquire about the news. However, the military letter, which was signed on the tenth day of June, had already opened everyone's eyes and the gossip was burning, even the emperor was no exception.
"Your Majesty, Li Shun's mission sent to the Western countries, but he did not abduct the fiancée of the King of Anxi, causing the misunderstanding of Anxi. This matter needs to be carefully arranged so as not to cause arbitrary war!" Some officials proposed to deal with this special diplomatic incident carefully.
China is a country of etiquette. It is common for the vassal states to send envoys to each other, but the fact that the envoys steal the wife of the king has never happened. It sounds not only incredible, but also jaw-dropping.
Not saying it is rude, it is simply unconscience.
Such shameless things can be done, and the Qin Empire is completely disgraced.
What's more, just steal it. At least you will bring it back to the civil and military officials of the court and the people of Xianyang. Do you look beautiful and beautiful? If so, then forget it. After all, everyone has a love for beauty. No one is perfect, and stealing men and women is commonplace, but now even the mission is missing.
According to Jiang Hu's speculation, Li Shun's delegation was either afraid of being chased by King Anxi and hid and enjoyed the princess, or it was now killed, and the Qin delegation was wiped out, and abandoned corpses fed lions, wolfs, tigers and leopards in the Western wilderness tens of thousands of miles away.
"Isn't this saying by Mr. Liu in vain? Now that Li Shun's delegation has no news, maybe he has been banned by that anthology..."
"Li Zhongcheng, it's Antioch!" An official next to him reminded.
"Oh, yes, it's Antioch. Maybe Li Shun's mission has been caught up and killed by Antioch. The two countries will not be killed even when they fight. My Great Qin mission went all the way to Anxue, and they actually chased our mission. It is unbearable. I suggest that the Anxue people must be given a tough attitude so that they can know the power of our Great Qin and should not be so arrogant in the future!" The Right Chief of Works Department stood up righteously and shouted loudly.
"Li Zhongcheng said lightly. Anxue is more than 20,000 miles away from our Great Qin. I have been there for at least more than a year. At present, General Jiang Hu is closest, but he is only 5,000 soldiers and horses. He is also a veteran who has not yet changed his defense. It is difficult to prepare for weapons, food and salary. How tough is it? Besides, Anxue is not inferior to the Great Qin. The population is countless and million armoured. I really provoke the battle. I am afraid that Dayuan will not be able to save it." An official from the Ministry of War stood up to refute.
In war, it is not up to words. A tough person needs strong strength.
It is undeniable that the Qin Dynasty is now strong in soldiers, horses and food, and has excellent steel weapons and even muskets and cannons. However, these cannot be transferred in a short time. Moreover, the consumption on the way is simply impossible to calculate. Even the Qinghe Hou, a disciple of the immortal family, cannot solve it. Once he really shows off his strength, he will brighten his muscles and rest in peace, he will probably be a repeated tug-of-war that has been stalemate for several years.
Now that more than ten years of peace and tranquility have passed, the civil and military officials of the court are no longer interested in fighting. Every day, they are just reading newspapers, drinking tea, listening to songs, dancing, and browsing the music garden. This kind of beautiful life is happy and comfortable. Once a war with a Western power with the strength of the Qin Dynasty, this kind of beautiful life will be gone with the wind in an instant. In addition to working hard and deploying soldiers, military equipment and food, there may be a large number of officials who will suffer with the army.
These are not the most important ones. Many officials of the Qin Dynasty grew up in the baptism of the Battle of Conquering the Six Kingdoms. They were not afraid of fighting. Many also had the ideal of making contributions on the battlefield and promoting titles. The main reason for their inability to be active is that they are too far away. The enemy's information is too vague and causing psychological uneasiness.
For a mission that has not yet been confirmed, a battle of the country will be fought. Who knows what an unpredictable ending will occur.
What's more, the left prime minister, Qinghe Hou, who led the ministers, was not in the capital. Now, the generals who were good at fighting were able to conquer several generals, Jingwu Hou Meng Tian, Didao Hou Li Xin, Yinshan Hou Jianghu, the commander of the Northern Army, Ren Xiao, Zhao Tuo, and others were not in the court. Even the generals Wang Jian and Tongwu Hou Wang Ben, who were always regarded as the artifact of the Great Qin State, died one after another. The three masters of the Wang family who were once powerful and powerful, left behind only one Wucheng Hou Wang Li.
Although Wang Li is also a top Marquis, with the halo of his father and grandfather, in the eyes of civil and military officials in the court, even the folk people, there is not much difference between Wang Li and the playboys of wealthy and noble families. If you don’t have a martial arts, you won’t be able to make it. What’s more, there is Qinghe Marquis pressing on him, so Wang Li can almost ignore it.
In other words, the Qin Dynasty seems to be full of talents at the moment, but in fact, except for a military commander Wei Liao, who stood in the court, there was almost no general who could make suggestions on military deployment.
Wei Liao is now over seventy years old and is already too old to use.
The generals are not accepted by the emperor and the officials are enjoying themselves safely. This is the current situation in the Qin Dynasty.
The civil and military officials in the court were whispering, some supported sending troops, some recommended arranging another mission, some suggested that they continue to wait for the military newspaper behind Jiang Hu, and some believed that Li Shun's mission did not comply with etiquette to abduct King Anxi's fiancée, provoked conflicts between the two countries, violated the etiquette and laws of the envoy, and demanded heavy punishments, etc.
The First Emperor sat high on a dragon chaise, wearing a crown garment, a jade belt wrapped around his waist, and a red waist hanging on his deer. His slightly gray hair was neatly combed, and his crown tartar was still unmoved. His face was as plain as before. He held a few pieces of hemp pulp and paper in his hand, and he ignored the movements and stillness in the court below.
After a long time, waiting for the discussions between civil and military officials to gradually calm down. Emperor Shiniu took his eyes from the military newspaper, habitually glanced at the empty Grand Master chair next to him, and sighed slightly.
"All my dear friends are right. However, the mission is related to the face of the Great Qin Dynasty, and we have to take care of it. It is just a barbarian country. Three thousand imperial guards were defeated by the refugees of the Great Yuezhi. It can be seen that the force is weak and vulnerable. Even if the war of swelling the country is still pacified for a few years. Now the Western Regions are in the middle of winter, and it is inconvenient to come and go. It is also a best opportunity to allocate troops and food. But the so-called plan is to be made without plans. I intend to unify the world. Sooner or later, the West is the object of my Great Qin. How can I ignore it? I have to pass on my orders that the generals and soldiers of the four battalions of Guanzhong will be carefully trained. The six deployment yamen will all be prepared quickly. After the spring, I will send troops to the West and calmly rest in one fell swoop..."
The majestic voice of Emperor First Emperor echoed above the court.
All civil and military officials were all worried. After waiting for the First Emperor to finish his words, Feng Quji, as the leader and minister, stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it is not difficult to raise military preparations such as food, grass, weapons, weapons, and medicine. However, this trip is long and the journey is long and difficult to march. It takes at least half a year or even a year to communicate information. It is a taboo for military strategists to do so. I beg Your Majesty to think twice and never be too hasty!"
"Your Majesty, Feng Xiang's words are reasonable. Rest in peace is too far away from our Great Qin. Now, Marquis Jingwu and Marquis Di Dao, who have been in charge of military service for many years, are not in the capital. Why not summon Marquis Jingwu to return to the capital to discuss and make a decision?" Some officials stood up and recommended the post for Feng Quji.
"Your Majesty, the only generals who lead the army in the court are Jingwu Hou. Wucheng Hou has made great achievements in fighting and pacifying the Donghu and defending the northern border. I think I can be the commander!" The Qing Hou, who was wearing a brocade robe, stood up and suggested.
"Marquis Wucheng?!" There was a slight commotion in the court.
The calm and majestic face of Emperor Qin Emperor suddenly moved. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head slightly, "It's still several months before spring begins. I will consider the matter of the commander. My dear friends will first coordinate the troops, horses, food and grass, and arrange for King Ning to set off for Dayuan immediately. The accompanying officials will send the general Jiang Hu to the terrain of the Western countries. We must also find out where our Great Qin mission will go. We must see people and deaths in life. If the Western countries dare to offend our Great Qin, I will destroy their country!"
