Chapter 366 Wei Huo dispatches troops

The border report soon entered Xianyang Palace and was placed on the desk of Wuxin Palace.

Hu Hai looked at the report from Wei Huo on the table, and his face was as deep as water. The report said that Yuyang and Youbeiping suffered heavy losses, and the calls for sending troops to the Huns became increasingly high. If it was not handled properly, people might be distracted.

"One hundred thousand Hun cavalry invaded the border, this is no longer an ordinary plunder. This is a real national war and an invasion. If we endure it, the Huns will definitely gain a better position." Zhao Tuo is also in the Wuxin Hall and is a member of the Counselor's Mansion. He has lived in Lingnan for a long time and has always taken over power. He has also developed the habit of domineering power. Now that he heard that the Huns in the north attacked the border, he immediately expressed his thoughts.

Hu Hai nodded. Since Meng Tian came to power, he has transferred Han Xin back to Xianyang. Now Zhao Tuo and Han Xin are both here, and there are many generals in the court who can fight. Originally, he planned to recuperate for a few years. As long as he is given a year and a half, the infrastructure construction of the Qin Dynasty will reach a new level.

During the past six months, Hu Hai handled less government affairs. All memorials were handled by Li Si and several ministers of the Counselor's Office. The final result was submitted to Hu Hai for approval and was finished. He had to sort out all the knowledge he knew in the future and write down some of the knowledge he knew as guiding things, which was to give the basic science of the Qin Dynasty.

Hu Hai had already banned the tricks of the alchemists from cheating. Although he could not deny the existence of ghosts and gods at once, he was working hard on this area bit by bit.

Talent is the foundation. Nowadays, Kefei's science has made progress in the Imperial Academy of the Qin Dynasty. As long as there is another half a year, it will probably be applied to military agriculture. But the Huns invaded at this time, disrupting Hu Hai's plan.

In this era, the Qin Dynasty was considered a powerful country. If we add the extra knowledge we had in the future and could not allow the four barbarians to surrender, then the emperor would be in vain. Hu Hai clenched his fists.

"Didn't Mo Nan from Kewu Academy develop a giant crossbow called The Legend of the Condor He? He ordered the general to be the supervisor and immediately produce it on a large scale. All finished The Legend of the Condor He was equipped with the border guards. Xiao He was responsible for this matter." Hu Hai said, and Li Si recorded it.

Perhaps because of his guilt towards Hu Hai, Li Si worked hard in the court, and he saw a lot of older people in the past two years. After listening to Hu Hai's orders, he immediately recorded it.

"You know the army in Lingnan, see if you can draw some and overwhelm the north." Hu Hai turned his face and asked Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "It is okay to mobilize the Lingnan army. But time may be delayed. These Hu people who dare to covet our mainland Qin must be resolutely attacked. We cannot delay it. The Lingnan army can be mobilized, but the frontier army should be ready to go to war immediately. Our military formation will be pushed out, and the Huns will be squeezed into the grasslands inch by inch. The cold current in winter is enough to make them lose the power of fighting."

Hu Hai nodded, and he agreed with Zhao Tuo's statement. The Qin Dynasty must establish its authority on the grassland. If it does not take this opportunity to establish its authority, it will probably be in trouble in the future. After all, there are not only the Huns on the grassland, but also other tribes. These are restless guys.

After detailed discussion, the Counselor's Office decided to appoint Han Xin as the marshal of the Northern Expedition Army. Xiao He was responsible for supply and sent 300,000 troops to deploy defenses on the border. It was unrealistic to advance to the grassland inch by inch, so he had to let the army guard the border and seek a decisive battle between the main forces of the Huns.

Three hundred thousand Qin soldiers were stationed at the border. Fortunately, the harvest was good this year and there was no need to worry about military rations. Xiao He was properly dispatched and everything seemed so smooth.

Hu Hai stood on the floor of Wuxin Hall, looking in the direction of the northern grassland, his eyes full of hostility.

Han Xin's army had been stationed at the border for nearly a month. The north wind came and the cold winter was coming. But the main force of the Huns could not be found and the decisive battle with them.

Just when the Qin soldiers gathered on the border and were doing nothing, Wei Huo asked Han Xin for his order and decided to take 10,000 elite Qin cavalry to go deep into the grassland to find the main force of the Huns for the army.

Han Xin praised Wei Huo for his bravery, approved his request to send troops, and asked him to make sure that he should first ensure his own safety and not confront the Huns head-on.

Wei Huo received the order and immediately counted the people after returning to his base. He wanted to take the most elite troops to attack and find the main army of the Huns. The archery crossbows transported from Xianyang could not be brought with them. Although the bulky archery crossbows were astonishingly lethal, they moved slowly and were not suitable for rafting on the grassland.

The entire ten thousand elite cavalry who followed Wei Huo to attack were equipped with hard bows. Each of them brought as many quiver pots as possible when the weight allowed. The bows and arrows inside were full of incisors.

These bravest soldiers of the Qin Dynasty never went deep into the northern grasslands, but now they are the first to rush into the depths of the grasslands to find the main force of the Huns. The food is just that everyone brought enough dried cakes and simple water for fifteen days.

Although it is early winter weather, the whole grassland is full of winds, and the grass is decaying and withering poplars.

Before the army set off, Wei Huo sent out three squads of sentry exploration teams. These three teams were the most skillful veterans in the army, with the purpose of clearing out all the humans seen on the grassland.

After all, the military movements need to be kept confidential. The enemy's spies must be removed to ensure that the traces of the marching will not be leaked. Otherwise, the tragedy of being besieged in the depths of the grassland will recur.

Half an hour after the scout team left, Wei Huo's ten thousand Qin soldiers set out from Chengguan, the sky became gloomy. With a gust of cold wind, tiny snow foam fell down.

With the rising snow moist, the prairie became confused.

Not far from Daqin City Pass, two Hu people were nestled in a small nest made of hay to keep warm, their faces red with cold wind and snow mozi beaten. They were talking in a low voice.

In such a ghost weather, the Qin defenders probably wouldn't have any big moves. The two of them relaxed, and the nomadic people on the grassland could not stand it in such weather.

Just when the two Hu people just relaxed, they didn't notice that a white figure had quietly approached the hiding place of the two. The people who came were holding short swords in their left and right hands.

After approaching the two alien whistle detectives, the knife in his hand suddenly split into left and right, directly inserted into the throats of the two people, cutting and pulling. The two alien whistle detectives covered their necks, making a giggle sound in their mouths, and they kicked their legs a few times, but they stopped moving again.

In the snow-mozi, several figures gradually appeared. They were all wearing cotton robes and covered with a layer of white cloth curtains that had been prepared long ago, which was simply disguised.

"Search for a while, there must be war horses hidden around you," the murderer whispered.

The passionate blood of the two Hu people quickly became cold in the cold wind, and the snow mozi also covered their bodies.
