Historically, the Chinese army and the steppe nomads have not had too exaggerated disadvantages in fighting on the grassland, but they are generally troubled by the gap in mobility and the inability to find the enemy.

Needless to say, mobility is not to be said, the inability to find enemy troops is related to mobility, and what is even more puzzling is that the grassland is too vast, and there is no mobility and because it is too vast, the result is that even if the Chinese army finds traces of the nomads, those who are waiting for the Chinese army to run over the nomads have long since disappeared.

How big is the modern Ningxia region? Lu Zhe actually didn't have a very clear concept in his heart, and his impression was that it was incomparably vast, and in addition to a large area of flat terrain, there was no shortage of terrain such as the Gobi Valley, and what was even more helpless was that there was a moving "desert boat" over there.

The so-called "desert boat" should actually be called a desert island, which is a kind of large sand and dust explosion that will be blown around by the wind, but that is a situation that will occur in modern times because the unlimited use of grassland to guide the vegetation is too bad, and the environment is too bad.

"Sima Xin......" Lu Zhe only said three words before stopping, and thought for a while: "Far water can't save the near fire, or issue an order, let the communist lieutenant communicate with the Qin side, and send scouts to explore the area where the main Xiongnu force may stop." ”

Lu Zhe originally wanted to call Sima Xin and personally inquire about the situation in that area of Ningxia, after all, Sima Xin had a long history in the northern border of Qin, but then he thought about it, even if Sima Xin knew about the situation over there, with the current means of communication, unless Sima Xin went to Beidi County in person, it would be useless to send fast horses back and forth to exchange information.

Can Sima Xin go to Qindi? Sima Xin, who was already the Taiwei of the Han State, was obviously not suitable to go to Qindi, at least not now, and he should set foot on Qin Land again after the merger of Han and Qin, and his appearance in Qin Land before was just to make Han and Qin sides more embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, the information that Gongzhong Lang (General) has sent back recently......" Kuai Tong said and paused, because he saw Lu Zhe frowning.

The information sent back by the Gongwei was all from the center of the Qin State, and the intelligence showed that Fusu was constantly losing control of the Qin State. At the same time, the army in Meng Tian's hands has undergone many changes for various reasons.

The old Qin people on the side of Longxi County were the first to annex the Han State, and Wang Ben took his troops to join Lu Zhe in the back, and the other is that Meng Tian used space for time and saved the tactics of luring the enemy to go deeper, and it was relatively normal for the Qin army to change. Especially after Wang Ben's troops were reorganized, they ate Lu Zhe's military salary, and even the Central Plains Army was also able to have a monthly salary immediately after accepting the reorganization of the Han army, and the soldiers who belonged to the center of the Qin State did not have military salaries, so how could they calm down?

Obviously, the treatment of those who defected to the Han Kingdom first was stimulating the hearts of those soldiers who followed Fusu, and it was a person who would have thoughts. And living a better life and enjoying better treatment are all beautiful things that people will pursue when they survive. Being a soldier in the Han State can have a military salary, and meritorious service is also rewarded and expected to become a nobleman, it is conceivable that as a soldier, you also need to fight with your life, who doesn't want to get better treatment?

According to the information sent back by the Gongwei, the generals of the Han State already thought that there was no need to accommodate the Qin State, and they could have assigned the Qin State to do things more forcefully. Not everything is discussed. In addition, regarding Lu Zhe's decision to keep the King of Qin, some people have recently proposed to revise it, thinking that it is not necessary to leave the title of King of Qin, even if he wants to leave the title of King of Qin, it is not to give the surname of Zhao Win. It should be given to Lu Zhe's heir.

What do you mean? It's that the Qin State is weak enough to do this, and there is no need to accommodate it, and even more so, to win the last force of the Qin Center, and then if you want to pinch the surname of Zhao, you can pinch it and pinch it flat.

The first to come out with that argument was the bureaucrats of the original Chu State. Then it affected some of the generals in the army, and if it wasn't for Lu Zhe's timely suppression, it should have been passed on to the people.

Lu Zhe once again saw that the Qin State was so unpopular, and it was also because the Qin State did everything in the process of rising. The guide zhì others treat the Qin State as soon as they have the opportunity to do the opposite.

But then again, in the process of development, the Qin State has done everything and repeatedly failed to keep its promises, but how good can the former nations be? No, once it can be denied, it will never be let go, and the country that really keeps its promises has long been wiped out.

For those who put forward different opinions, Lu Zhe has ordered the ruling government to investigate, and secretly asked Yan Bi's Jinyi Guard Mansion to investigate, if those people are just for the sake of the Han State, if those people are engaged in the east and west for other purposes, Lu Zhe does not mind teaching them to be human beings again.

The way the Han State was founded was different from that of the old countries, and Lü Zhe's establishment was fundamentally different from those kings who relied on blood ties, and the Lü Han State, which had only been established for nearly eight years, needed to establish credit, whether it was for the people or for all countries, it needed to have trustworthy credit.

Lu Zhe has already said that after the merger, he will leave the title of King of Qin, and it will be the person with the surname Zhao Ying who will serve as the King of Qin, even if it is really different after the change of time, but as a king, what he says cannot be changed. He knows very well what it means to be "Jun Wu Yan", otherwise today he can overturn the decision of the person who canonized the Zhao family to become the king of Qin, and many people should think about whether he will overturn other decisions in the future.

In Lu Zhe's view, the person with the surname Zhao Ying became the king of Qin to appease the head of Qin, and it was also to reduce the guilt of some old Qin people, Qin clans, and big clans who had been attached in advance.

"Discuss with Fusu, in order to stabilize the morale of the army and merge the two countries, ask him if he is willing to let the troops under Meng Tian accept the reorganization of the Han army first. If Fusu was willing, the military salary system would be applied to those Qin people. Lu Zhe's wording does not contain any words related to deliberation at all, and it is as if he is issuing an administrative order.

Kuaitong immediately understood what Lu Zhe meant, so what he did was nothing more than to appease some radical generals in the country, and in addition, it was also to maintain the morale of those soldiers under Meng Tian's command, after all, the same was to be a soldier, the same was to work hard, the friendly army had a salary but the Qin army did not, and then the situation of the Qin State was so bad, if someone among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers provoked trouble, it would not be good to find something like a mutiny.

"Your Majesty, will Fusu agree to the reorganization of the Qin army into the Han army?" Kuaitong is more skeptical of this.

"Yes." As for why Fusu agreed, Lü Zhe did not need to explain a ruler's mentality to Kuaitong.

The dilemma is no longer enough to describe the center of the Qin State with Fusu as the core, the general trend of the world has changed to today's Cheng Dù, and the order issued by Fusu is out of Xianyang City, and Meng Tian will return to his fate, which is naturally related to the successive loss of territory by the Qin State, and also because the death of the First Emperor has something to do with the invasion of the enemy army under the unstable situation of the new ruling class.

The Qin State has lost so many counties one after another, and the territory of the current Qin State is ostensibly Neishi County, Longxi County, Beidi County, Sanchuan County, Yingchuan County, and Yanmen County, but other counties except Neishi County have disobeyed the orders of the Xianyang Center.

At such a point, it is very good that Fusu did not give up on himself, Lu Zhe is still willing to keep the title of King of Qin and is the person who gave the surname Zhao Ying, so it is not only to give the Qin family a way to live, but also very generous, Fusu knows very well that a Qiē resistance will usher in blood, even if it is not for himself, for the sake of the Zhao family that has lasted for nearly 800 years, he will try his best to cooperate.

The situation on the Zhao side is also familiar with the Qin State, and even said that the situation faced by the Zhao State is worse than that of the Qin State, after all, the first war was fought in the Zhao State, and there were Hu people such as the Xiongnu raging later, if the Qin State at least has a little belongings to make a living, the war continues to occur in the Zhao State of Zhao, and they even faced offensive and defensive battles in the capital for a time, and the situation can be described as terrible.

If it weren't really at the end of the day, how could any ruler who was on high above give up his power lightly? Lu Zhe didn't say how fanciful he was, and directly gave Fusu and Zhao Xie two choices, simply because they knew the current situation and chose the answer that Lu Zhe was willing to see.

Lu Zhe is able to destroy the weakened Qin and Zhao at a small cost, but he is not like some rulers who dominate the world and enclose themselves in a cage to make a fortune, and it is necessary to destroy the Qin and Zhao lands one step further and increase the burden of reconstruction after dominating the world?

The war was very destructive, once the richest population in the Central Plains also had more than 300,000 Linzi, the Han army just approached and besieged but did not attack, Linzi can collapse on its own, and it is still a ghost domain now.

Xiao He, who had returned to his homeland, had already conducted a preliminary census for nearly three months, and the newly occupied counties of the Han Kingdom, including Nanyang County, Xue County, Donghai County, Langxie County, Jiaodong County, Linzi County, and Surabaya County, had been the least damaged, and the existing population was less than half of what it was before the war, and what was even more exaggerated was that the population of a certain county was only 30% of what it was before the war.

At the beginning, Taiyuan County and other counties in the war area were absolutely correct to describe it as ten rooms and nine emptiness, and the phrase "soldiers are like washing" will definitely not be just talking.

Xiao He's most important task now is no longer to keep an eye on the logistics and supply of the front-line troops, his new order is to find a way to call out the Qianshou who fled to the deep mountains and old forests to escape the war.

For Lu Zhe, it is acceptable for the war to destroy the economy, but the mass death of the population is unbearable, and it is easy for the population to restore the economy, but there is no population let alone the economy can not recover, where does the source of troops come from that he wants to continue to expand and plunder outward?
