The possibility of an alliance between the Qin state and the Han state is not small, and many people in their right minds can see this.

The Qin State, which is the enemy of the world, desperately needs allies, and she has been carrying it alone for too long, almost to the point of exhaustion. The only thing that is a little doubtful is how long the alliance will last, and what about the shape of the alliance?

The former Qin State gave up the land west of the river in exchange for rising, which was a necessary sacrifice made under absolutely unfavorable circumstances, and now the environment of the Qin State is even more dangerous than at that time, for the Qin State, it is the most urgent to support the current pass, in a severe form, even if you know that you are drinking to quench your thirst, what can you do?

In the face of unfavorable situations, it has always been necessary to be able to endure what others cannot bear, and people call that lying on the salary to taste courage, and only perseverance can have a chance to save the situation.

Fusu returned to Xianyang with more than 100,000 troops to stabilize the situation, and the strength in Meng Tian's hands dropped to less than 200,000, and it was so that the 200,000 Qin army used the not so stable front to maintain the grassland Hu people on the border of Shangjun.

The best fighting season for the steppe Hu people, who are extremely dependent on war horses, is autumn, when the forage is abundant and the horses are the most robust, and it is also the best time for livestock slaughter.

With enough forage, cattle and sturdy horses, the nomads are at their strongest, but spring and winter are the seasons when the Hu people do not fight.

It is now summer time, and the offensive of the nomadic Hu led by the Xiongnu is not so fierce, but only maintains a mediocre offensive posture. Why is this so? Because spring is the time for livestock breeding, in order to allow horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock to breed in spring, the grassland Hu people once stopped the war and retreated, which finally gave the Great Wall Army some respite, and Fusu was able to draw out his troops to return to Xianyang.

In the summer, the Hu people did not attack fiercely, that is also because a large number of mares are pregnant, only some unconceived mares and stallions can provide galloping, and most of the livestock are pregnant and not suitable for slaughter. The Hu people can't be fierce even if they want to be fierce under many restrictions.

At the beginning, when the Hu people retreated in the grassland to prepare for the summer with grassland characteristics, Meng Tian proposed to pursue the Jianyi, but after all, the Qin army was fighting continuously and hard, and the troops returning from the Central Plains to the north were too tired, so in the end, what Meng Tian could do was to transfer some troops to attack and harass the war.

If it was in the grassland, Meng Tian would not attack or disturb the war, after all, the grassland is endless, and there are only a few valleys and forests to hide, and when you see people, people will also see you, unless it is a night attack. Otherwise, it is basically impossible to talk about the attack.

It must be noted that it is not so easy to run even at night in the grassland, at least non-cavalry soldiers don't want to do this kind of thing, after all, the field of vision is too broad, and the Hu people are not blind and deaf.

The Qin army's use of cavalry was not bad, and it once dispatched cavalry on a large scale to participate in the Battle of Changping, and the grassland Hu people themselves entered the Zhao land with relatively complex terrain, which also gave Meng Tian an opportunity to create a new attack and disturbance.

The whole spring was spent in the harassment and resistance of the Qin cavalry and the invasion and resistance into the Zhao land, and the Qin cavalry selected by Meng Tian to attack the Hu people suffered heavy losses. The Hu people are no better.

No, summer is coming, but the Hu people, who have repeatedly interrupted the breeding of various tribes due to the raids of the Qin cavalry, actually have a food crisis. It can only maintain a certain oppressiveness.

There is intelligence that Touman sent envoys to Qi, Yan, and Zhao to ask for food, and the Zhao people who did not flee from Zhao Di were also being captured and plundered by the Hu people, of course, in the spring when they were disturbed enough by the Qin army sent by Meng Tian, does this show that the Hu people who entered the land of China are not very suitable for the battlefield here?

It is also appropriate that the Hu people are not adapted to the battlefield with complex terrain. The current territory of the Xiongnu is also part of Mobei and Monan, and only part of the Western Regions has been conquered, and the Touman era is not the Maodun era after all.

The steppe Hu people did not attack fiercely. Qin State can finally take a breath in the north, but Qi, Yan, and Zhao will not watch these Hu people weaken, and Qi, Yan, and Zhao will not send troops to help, but they should be able to give enough in the supply of grain, after all, if Qi, Yan, and Zhao are not blind, they should also see the movements of the Han State, and they must be extremely eager to solve the Qin State as soon as possible, and then deal with the Han State.

With the grain and straw provided by Qi, Yan, and Zhao, the grain of the Hu people in the grassland will soon be sufficient again, and the offensive of the Hu people with enough food should become fierce again.

What was the situation of the war between the Qin State and the Hu people of the grassland? Since Meng Tian built the Shangjun border defense line, the war situation between the two sides has tended to the Chinese model, and it is no longer the way of fighting on the grassland.

The so-called war of the Chinese model is naturally a fixed offensive and defensive war based on fortifications, and it is not difficult for the Qin army to fight this at all, but this kind of war is extremely unfamiliar to the Hu people.

The Hu people are not good at attacking cities, that is because the Hu people's creative power and technology are not very good, and it is also related to how many times they have not been fought.

Siege relied on equipment, and the Hu people were gradually adapting to this. From the beginning they could only cut down trees to make ladders, to know how to drum out shield cars, door hammers and other equipment, all of which showed that the Hu people were also improving.

It is conceivable that Qi, Yan, and Zhao are forced to be in a hurry, and they will definitely do something to send craftsmen to help the Hu people build siege equipment, once the worry becomes an established fact, how long can the Great Wall Army led by Meng Tian last?

Therefore, the Han State is about to go north and will change a lot of things, even if the Qin State can pay the price not to enter a state of war with the Han State, the target of the Han State is Qi, Yan, and Zhao, then Qi, Yan, and Zhao will definitely be forced to the point of being in a hurry, and what can not be done at that time?

At present, the Qin State has mobilized children as young as eleven or twelve, and old people over forty years old, and there is almost no source of troops, and the only hope of Fusu is that the Central Plains Army will quickly stabilize the northern front, and then free up its troops to support the relatively critical northern border.

Thinking of achieving the goal of liberating the troops of the Central Plains Army, then the Qin State could not enter a state of war with the Han State, otherwise it would be unknown to mention the transfer of the troops of the Central Plains Army to the north, and it would still be unknown which line would be more dangerous at that time.

Fusu, who had made up his mind, did not carry it out immediately, he waited patiently for the First Emperor to wake up again, and then spoke out about his decision.

The First Emperor was not in good health, but the Brain Sutra was normal, he nodded silently after listening, said a few words with difficulty and fell into a coma.

Fusu felt a pang of sadness when he saw his father like this, he was one of the few people who knew his father's original strategy.

The original strategy of the First Emperor was to lure out all the unstable factors, and then use the power of thunder to annihilate them, so that the undercurrent that Yi Qiē had originally hidden in the shadows would suffer a heavy blow, causing the established fact that the Qin State would dominate the world, and also eliminate enough resistance forces to lay a solid enough foundation for the long-term peace and stability of Great Qin.

Is this a mistake? Not only did Fusu feel that there was nothing wrong, but also some ministers who knew about it and supported it. But why is the situation in the world so rotten!?

There are too many reasons for the idea of the First Emperor, but the first reason is not because the First Emperor's health has deteriorated, but because there are too many negatives brought by the Central Group.

The abolition of feudalism and centralization has brought too many people too many losses, and the retreat of a large number of old ministers is due to disagreements about centralization and feudalization.

Centralizing power, concentrating all power in the hands of the king, what is the effort of a group of courtiers? Is it just for the glory of the emperor alone and for generations to come? They sacrificed their lives and forgot to die not for the glory and interests of the family, and in the era of complete centralization, the courtiers were no longer one of the decision-makers of the country, but became a pure "working boy", and they were the kind of "working boys" who lived and killed to take away the emperor's mouth, compared to the lord's autonomy and balance to the king under the feudal system, who could stand the era of centralization?

Because of the controversy caused by the centralization of power and the partition of power, there was also a lot of controversy, and the result was that the officials of the Qin state ignored the most important thing, that is, the success of the six kingdoms to unify the world, but the most sacrificed Qianshou did not get the benefits of the war that they deserved.

So much effort, so many sacrifices, and the dreams of several generations have been fulfilled, the nobles should always drink soup after eating meat, right? But no, not only did there be no soup, I thought I could take a breath, but I didn't expect that not only could I not take a breath, but the heavier and heavier forced labor made people breathless.

The courtiers were disappointed, extremely disappointed to play and disappear, thinking that they could still fight for a little to mix in the court; Qianshou was also disappointed, they had no way to play disappearing, they could only face Yiqiē with a negative attitude.

In the face of an inexplicable negative state throughout the country, the First Emperor of course was aware of the root of the matter, that is, the uneven distribution of interests. In the world of "all the world, all for the sake of profit", he can understand the disappointment and negativity that comes from not getting the benefits he deserves, but it is impossible for a king who rules the country to do great things and change the course of what has already been decided.

The actions taken by the First Emperor were very direct, since a group of courtiers could not be used, then support that batch of courtiers who could be used, and it was best to favor a model as a benchmark, so that people could have a typical model as a comparison after accepting the reality.

Following the strategy of the First Emperor, Montessori will become a model of deliberate erection, and more and more people will accept reality as time passes. At this time, the first emperor, who had been taking the so-called "elixir" for a long time, was actually poison, but his body was insufficient.

If there is no crisis in the world in advance, the first emperor will always be able to recover a little, but the strategy of "leading the snake out of the hole" has long been implemented, and now is the time when health and energy are needed the most, and the result is that the first emperor eats more of the so-called "elixir", this time not for longevity, but for the restoration of health, but those poisonous things eat more quickly......
