Chapter 370 Stars and Seas
November, the seventh year of the Xinli period of Qin Dynasty.
Yanbei, Yuyang, a military city on the eastern front of Qin.
An important military conference that determines the future development of Qin is being held. Those who participated in this military discussion almost included representatives of generals from various military branches in the east, south, west and north of Qin. At the same time, the Chang'an court also sent Changshi Guan Yue as a representative to attend. He came to Yan land with him, and the young lady Xin Zhui, who had not seen for about half a year.
The arrival of Xin Zhui made Li Yuan feel tired and finally had a gentle harbor to release his body and mind. As the well-deserved number one person in Qin State, Li Yuan has not many women around him. Ying Yushu, Gu Yunniang, and Xin Zhui have all experienced some ups and downs. Due to the differences in age, experience and personality, these three women have had barriers and conflicts in getting along with each other. Now, they are more tolerant of each other.
During the last time I stayed in Chang'an, because Ying Yushu believed the so-called bloodline of Ying, and almost had a turmoil in the inner palace, Li Yuan was shocked and angry, and also killed the old palace servants and old nannies in the palace who were invited back. After this round of elimination, the number of palace maids serving in Chang'an in the inner palace was greatly reduced.
Without those lingering women who have always been soft-hearted, Ying Yushu had to focus more on teaching Li Ye. At the same time, her relationship with Gu Yunniang was gradually repaired. There were no major conflicts. She was a sister who was good in Xingyang, so she could just talk about some things.
This time, Xin Zhui came to Yan land. In addition to private affairs, there were also businessmen. Ji County, the county town of Yan land, is working towards a major northern town and a big city. After Xin Zhui Chang'an City was widely praised, his confidence has also increased unprecedentedly. Now, some cities in Guanzhong and Guandong have come to ask this future "mother of the country" in terms of design and structure. Of course, there must be some local county magistrates who want to please Li Yuan.
Warrior controls trance.
The battlefield for men is in this world where the sky is high and the sea is vast.
Over the years, Li Yuan spent most of the year in various places, commanding wars or patrolling places, and staying in Chang'an was very little.
Relying on Li Yuan's broad and strong chest, listening to the powerful heartbeat, Xin Zhui's heart also started to be beating with the "bump".
From a young girl to a mature woman waiting to be released.
Over the past five years, Xin Zhui looked forward to the beauty of his future life in amidst his repeated longings. He gradually matured, and now she has been waiting.
As it turns out, Li Yuan is a trustworthy man.
Although he is not that kind of natural love and will not only guard one person in this life, he is a hero who stands tall and strong, a man who can support a sky for his beloved woman.
It is rare to have a beautiful woman with her. Li Yuan is already content with that kind of comfort and comfort. He hugged the beautiful and charming little girl and slept until dawn. Li Yuan had thought about it, but as soon as he thought of Hu Hai's miserable ending, he woke up.
The wise emperors in history also warned themselves at the beginning that they should not indulge in beds, and their voices and female musicians. But in the end they all fell into the gentle land.
It is not easy for people to live a hard life.
But it is easy to get used to a luxurious life.
——.
November 8th.
Li Yuan held an important military meeting in Yuyang County, northern Yan. In addition to the two major military groups guarding the northern border, the Yanbei Legion and the Jiuyuan Legion's chief generals Wang Li and Han Xin, the chief generals or deputy generals of the army far away in the south also participated.
Among them, Wang Shang and Jiang Yu each had important tasks, sent deputy generals to come. Li Zhongxiang, the head general of the Westward Advance Corps located in Hexi, followed Li Yuan and then went back to the scene after attending this important military meeting.
After unifying the Central Plains, different voices have appeared within the Qin army. At present, it is necessary to set a new goal for generals at all levels. By broadening the generals' horizons, breaking small groups that rely solely on interests and regional divisions, and establishing alliances between various military branches on a larger scale to prevent situations of satisfaction and arrogance and not enterprising.
Where there are people, there are factions.
With the strength of Qin State, small circles began to form among generals of different backgrounds. The existence of such small circles gradually divided the generals into different factions. According to the information of Yan Le, the "large inner commander", at present, the various factions within the Qin army are mainly divided into three major factions.
One is the trusted generals who followed Li Yuan to fight the country. These generals include Wang Shang, Luo Jia, Cao Xin, Li Zhongxiang, Bai Guangji and other backbone forces of the Qin army. They have the same origin and are close to Li Yuan. They are now mostly important generals in the army guarding one side.
The second is the border army group, led by Wang Li, including generals such as Su Jiao, Meng Hu, and Yang Wengzi. However, this group is currently seriously divided. Meng Hu was appointed as the court lieutenant by Li Yuan, which basically left the border army system. After Yang Wengzi fell in love with Wang Li, he led his own soldiers to Yandi and is now the deputy general of Han Xin's army.
The third is the generals who defected one after another. The group is relatively scattered, including generals like Han Xin, Jiang Yu, Li Zuoche, Peng Yue, and Chu and Han surrendered generals like Ji Bu, Zhongli Mei, and Ding Gong. Compared with the previous two groups, there is no outstanding leader within this faction, and the generals are more maintained by personal feelings.
For example, the relationship between Han Xin and Zhonglimei is closer to their personal friendship than other generals, but this connection cannot be simply divided by factions. After all, when it comes to major matters related to Qin State, Li Yuan will not allow the private friendship between generals to affect the stability of the army.
Between the different factions of the Qin army, the trusted group was beyond the other two groups, and no one would be foolish enough to compete with Li Yuan’s direct line to have a good relationship. But the other two factions were full of conflicts.
The border army and the Yan army, the two main generals Wang Li and Han Xin, have always been inconsistent. One side is the long-time general of the border army. After several changes, they are still active on the front line. The other side is a new rising star and a famous military master who is highly praised by history. The discord between the main generals brings in the instability of the northern border. For the purpose of jointly defending and fighting against the invasion of the Hun cavalry, more coordination is indeed needed between the two major Qin army groups.
Specifically, in the border army of Jiuyuan, the cavalry has obvious advantages due to the natural pastures in Hetao, but in terms of infantry, the horse athletes under Wang Li were worse than that of the army. Compared with the Jiuyuan army, these Yan athletes under Han Xin were more young and strong selected from the Central Plains. They had a certain foundation in infantry warfare, and they were still a very unfamiliar military for the children of farming.
In the future, the Qin army's journey will go farther, and Li Yuan will not be able to personally fight every time. Only by the cooperation and coordination of various departments of the Qin army can we establish our own advantages when dealing with the Xiongnu cavalry with superb riding skills.
Giving up either side and unconditionally supporting the other side is a helpless choice. Li Yuan hopes that through this strategic analysis meeting, the generals who only see this interest under their noses can look up and see that the enemy of Qin is right in front of him, and it is not the time to rest assured.
On this day, Qin generals from different places and different military groups gathered together to listen to King Shenwu Li Yuan explaining the world's geography and cultural customs--.
Li Yuan's voice was calm and calm, as if telling mythical stories, transforming into a historical geography teacher and teaching a group of unknown students. This feeling made Li Yuan intoxicated and his thoughts suddenly returned to his middle school days.
He started with the shape of the earth as an elliptical, the distribution of seven continents, the origin of human beings, and then to the ups and downs of civilizations in ancient Greece, Egypt, the Mesopotamia, and the Indus River Basin. These major events symbolizing the development process of human beings made the listened generals stunned.
"How can we live on a circular planet? Why don't we fall heads down? How big is this circular ball?" This is a thoughtful listener who likes to explore the knowledge of physics and astronomy.
"Seven continents, where are these places? Are they on the distant sea or at the western end of the Silk Road? How far are they from Qin? How long does it take if they ride a horse? How long does it take to take a boat ride?" The general who aspires to become a traveler was silently calculating.
"Which of those foreign civilizations is more powerful than our Great Qin? There are the weapons of enemy countries, such as siege rams, rock chariots, heavy cavalry, and what is the difference between the weapons and armored soldiers of the Qin army?" Generals like Li Zhongxiang who have some understanding of the West can't wait to start thinking about how to face the unknown enemy tribe if he was asked to lead his troops to fight.
When everyone was attracted by the historical geography and cultural style on this planet, Li Yuan finally gave out his long-planned arousal.
"Generals, the expansion of Qin State has just begun. In the north of Yuyang, the Huns are eyeing each other. On the Silk Road in the Western Regions, we need to face the challenges of the Huns, Yuezhi people, and foreign races west of the Tianshan Mountains. In the south of the river, in the places where the southern Qin State's expedition failed in the sand, we must use cold swords and sharp arrows to let the barbarians in the deep mountains know that those who dare to offend the majesty of Qin must pay a price. Therefore, my generals, your eyes should not be focused on small profits, but should stand at a high place and look at the strange sea of stars. There is no reason for your steps to stop. The flags of the Qin State are waiting for you to penetrate into every corner of this planet--!"
