I’m The King Chapter 1025: :East becomes west (Eighteen)

He Lanxiong stood in the middle of the pool of blood on the ground, his face was livid, this is a village of a small Hun tribe, there are about a hundred families, but now, there is nothing but ashes and corpses all over the ground.

Since the Xiongnu attached Gaoyuan, life has become better day by day. A large part of the Huns chose to settle around the big cities of the Han Dynasty such as Jishi City and Dayan City. In this case, they are engaged in traditional animal husbandry. At the same time, you can also learn some farming techniques from the Han people, and the local government of the Han country often sends some experienced farmers to teach farming techniques, so that these Huns slowly get rid of the single mode of life.

In the surrounding areas of these cities, the government has demarcated the pastures and implements rest grazing every year to ensure the long-term development of these herdsmen. Living around the cities, the livestock, dairy products, and fur of the herdsmen can also be quickly and conveniently sold directly to Shops in the city can reduce intermediate links so that they can obtain greater benefits. Of course, in addition to these benefits, if the herdsmen have surplus labor, they can also go to the city to find work. The city can always provide jobs with good wages .Compared with the Han people, these Huns who came to the city to recruit workers had lower prices and worked harder, and they were quite favored by large and small merchants in the city.

The tribe that was wiped out by the Qin army today obviously does not belong to this category. They still maintain a traditional way of life. There is not one left.

"Commander, we found a survivor!" He Lanjie ran over, "Unfortunately, he died again without saying a few words. His injuries were too serious."

The light in the eyes of He Lanxiong, who just heard that there are survivors, quickly dimmed. If there is still one person in a tribe, then with his help, this tribe can still survive, but now, I am afraid that this tribe They will be submerged in the dust of history again.

"Which tribe is it?" He Lanxiong asked in a low voice, this place has been robbed completely, and the rest has been burned to ruins, even He Lanxiong can't tell which tribe it is.

"It's the Guo Luoluo tribe. Their patriarch is unwilling to live around the city. He takes his people with him and still lives a traditional herding life. They retreated to places like Jishi City, and that’s when they encountered difficulties. The man said that there were more than 500 people in the family, and there was no one left. They were all killed, livestock, food, and all valuable things were robbed.” Helanjie Road.

"Which Qin army is it, and how many people are there?" He Lanxiong's eyes flashed with raging anger.

"It is a mixed Qin army with about a thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry. Our scouts have found their trail, and they are now heading towards Jishi City along the Siyang River."

"Why are there only more than 3,000 people?" He Lanxiong asked.

"Looking at the formation of the Qin army, I'm afraid they sent a large number of such troops to sweep up the Huns tribes on the grassland who had no time to retreat, robbing livestock, food and grass. You know, the food road of the Qin army is too long. Li I'm afraid that the letter is based on the idea of ​​supporting war with war."

"Support war with war!" He Lanxiong snorted. As a general who was born in the Huns, he naturally knew the **** under the so-called decision to support war with war.

"Send our scouts to issue a warning to all the Xiongnu tribes who have not evacuated to Jishi City. Don't have illusions. It is too late to retreat in the direction of Hetao, and I suggest that they flee to the direction of Hetao immediately. Lose everything that can be lost, and save people first." He Lanxiong ordered.

"Yes, I'll do it right away!" He Lanjie agreed and turned to leave.

"Hao Lianpo!" He Lanxiong shouted loudly.

"Commander, the last general is here." Hao Lian ran over quickly.

"Send scouts to find out where this Qin army is now, I want blood for blood!" He Lanxiong said murderously.

By the Siyang River, Li Xin picked up a handful of clear water and poured it on his face. For some reason, in the end, Gao Yuan was taken advantage of, and he achieved a huge foundation today. He has also become my biggest enemy in Daqin."

"Now his days are coming to an end. Back then, when the great general drew his sword, the Xiongnu disappeared in response. Now that the great general draws his sword again, how can a mere lofty height be able to stop the great general's attack!" Laugh.

Li Xin shook his head, "Today is different from the past. Although the Xiongnu had a royal court back then, the major tribes still acted on their own. This kind of mobilization ability, in this world, apart from our Great Qin, there is only a great Han. Gao Yuan is our strongest enemy, otherwise the king will not give up the opportunity to destroy Zhao Guo in one fell swoop this time, Instead, let’s look far away, we must first defeat the Han country!”

"This is exactly what I don't understand." But Yu humbly asked for advice: "General, Zhao's one hundred thousand elites have been wiped out by our country, and Zhao's current state can be said to be weak. Such a great opportunity, if Wouldn't it be too wasteful not to use it, Zhao is a big country after all, if you give them time to recover their strength, wouldn't it be a waste of time in the future?"

Li Xin laughed loudly, "This is the king's brilliance. Zhao Guo is big and powerful, but compared to Han's threat to us, it is not worth mentioning. Zhao Guo is now Zhao Guo. Qi is in charge, this person is short-sighted, he is good at playing small tricks but lacks great wisdom, and he is simply a mess when it comes to the layout of the grand strategy. Why should Zhao be afraid of such a person in charge of Zhao? What we have to do now is to help Zhao Qi defended his rule in Zhao State. This time he was defeated by our country. Zhao Qi's position was already in jeopardy. Zhao Wuji was also extremely dissatisfied with him. In order to maintain his position and save his own life, Zhao Qi might have to die The killing ring has started. The more he kills, the more people in the country will oppose him, and the more opportunities we have to intervene. Can such a country make us worry? Sooner or later, it will be in our hands. But The Han State is different, Han soldiers are good at fighting, you know that, but what worries the King even more is that the economic development of the Han State, in just a few years, the economy of the Han State has advanced by leaps and bounds, and its economic strength has surpassed that of the Han State. What is even more worrying is that Gao Yuan has a very good reputation in the Han Dynasty. Do you know the bonds he issued? Just such a white note can raise huge wealth among the people in a blink of an eye. , Do you think it will be effective if our country follows this strategy?"

But Yu frowned and thought for a while, "General, I'm afraid I can't, those who have money are unwilling to buy, and there are people behind them, they can't be forced, and others, I'm afraid they don't have the money to buy."

"That's right!" Li Xin nodded and said: "Your Majesty is worried that as time passes, the Han Dynasty will become stronger and stronger, and it will weigh us down economically. Money is what you get. A knife, a bow, and a pair of armor all have to be bought with silver. The annual consumption of a horse and a soldier has to be spent by the treasury. He will spend more money to equip more troops. In less than ten years, Gao Yuan has grown from a county lieutenant with a hundred people to hundreds of thousands of troops. If he is given another ten years, won't he be able to equip more troops? Millions of troops came out."

"My king gave an order last time, can't he also summon millions of troops?" Dan Yu said.

Li Xin glanced at Dan Yu, "One million troops and one million troops sound like the same number, but sometimes, the difference between them can be huge. I don't think that at that time, our The army of one million can be compared with the army of one million in the Han army, and if there is such a day, as long as the war drags on for a little longer, my Great Qin will be dragged down. Gao Yuan has been avoiding large-scale conflicts with our country over the years Conflict, why did it come? His mind is very clear, he just made this idea, and he wants to drag us down."

"Why can't we follow his lofty policies on people's livelihood?" But Yu said with some distress: "It's not a secret that Gaoyuan's economy, people's livelihood, and economics are good?"

"Easier said than done!" Li Xin shook his head and said, "If we copy Gao Yuan's practice, the country will be in chaos before the economy and people's livelihood develop. But the rain, Gao Yuan The state of Han strictly prohibited land annexation. Each of his ministers and generals was not allowed to own more than a thousand acres of land. He used the land as a reward for the military exploits of the soldiers. He distributed the land to the people free of charge, and the taxes collected were extremely low. He can do this because he is a new regime, he is a country built on a mess of nothing, and the original power structure has been wiped out in the war, so he has nothing to do. However, our country has been established for hundreds of years, and the domestic forces are intertwined. If you really want to talk about it, do you know who the biggest landlord in our country is?"

But Yu opened his mouth, a few people flashed in his mind, he shook his head, he really couldn't tell who was more.

"The biggest landlord in our country is the royal family!" Li Xin sighed, "Do you want the king to take his own life?"

But Yu opened his mouth wide enough to stuff a duck egg inside.

"But this battle is not easy to fight!" But Yu scratched his head, "It would have been much easier if He Lanxiong had been blocked in Daijun, and let him escape to the grassland, but The fish returns to the sea, the bird flies nine days, it will be even more difficult to catch him again, his infantry is speeding up and retreating towards Jishi City, and it will be even more difficult for us to attack Jishi City, I saw the Black Ice Terrace I got the city construction plan of Jishi City, to be honest, I haven't figured out any effective way to attack the city until now."

"War, there's no such thing as a sure thing. In short, the victory is more than the defeat!" Li Xin laughed, "He Lanxiong escaped, but it may not be impossible to catch him." (To be continued)
