Chapter 878: The Spring Breeze Rises Under Helan Mountain

******

Qin Mu chose this location, the surface of the Yellow River is not very wide, with the naked eye can clearly see the movement on the opposite bank, he calmly set up a sign, told sΓΉ Qi Tate, he himself crossed the river from this place.

The soldiers of the Qin army were afraid that the Chitate on the other side would not be able to see clearly, so they shouted in unison on the east bank: "Listen to Chitate, our Majesty said it, you don't have to divide your troops to defend other places, gather your forces here, we will cross the river from here, our Majesty Jinkou Yuyan, do what you say!" ”

Listening to the joyful tone of the Qin soldiers, it felt like saying sΓΉ Qitate, and quickly prepare for the Holy Driver's Patrol. Some shouted and gnawed on roast lamb shanks, not paying any attention to the enemy in the West Bank.

As for what Qin Jun said, Chitate must not believe it, and he thought that Qin Jun was bluffing, but it was just to cover up their ulterior motives.

However, although he did not believe it, there were almost 20,000 Qin troops concentrated on the east bank now, and there were indeed no Qin troops active in other places, so he still concentrated most of his troops here.

The east wind is blowing, the sun is shining, and the greenery on the grassland is getting stronger day by day, and the verdant is about to flow, stretching to the horizon, connecting with the clear green and blue sky. I can't tell where the sky is and where the grassland is.

Looking west across the river, the towering Helan Mountain is reckless and vast, the peaks are undulating, like ten thousand mountains rushing, and the momentum is incomparable.

On the grassland on the east bank, the Qin army did not set up camp, so they scattered the grass to eat lunch, the smoke curled up, the smell of meat was permeated, and it looked like a picnic on the grassland after a happy spring hunt.

The hunting banner fluttered with the spring breeze, and the herds of war horses neighed happily in the grass, and the fresh green grass ate so that they raised their heads from time to time and squinted their mouths, as if smiling.

Qin Mu was also smiling, and after drinking a glass of wine, he whistled lightly in fencing: "Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and howl." Fierce ambition. Thirty merits, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons"

The red lady next to her was a little disappointed, interrupted him and asked: "Your Majesty, we have almost eaten up all the livestock in the Hetao grassland, what will happen to the people on the grassland after the war?" ”

Qin Mu glared at her, and replied helplessly: "What else can I do, go farming." ”

Such an answer made the red lady angry, but in front of everyone, she didn't dare to contradict Qin Mu. So he bowed his head and said nothing, and paid no more attention to him.

In fact, this time, Qin Muzhi's place let the army rob the herdsmen's livestock for military rations, which is another consideration. First of all, the transfer of grain and grass from Guanzhong not only costs a lot, but also the army is dragged down by grain and grass, and it is difficult to advance quickly.

robbed the herdsmen on the grassland of their livestock, and then let them go to northern Shaanxi to farm. In the current northern Shaanxi and Guanzhong, the population is sparse, and many wastelands are uncultivated. Let them go to northern Shaanxi and Guanzhong, which can greatly save the time of grain and grass transportation. Reduce wear and tear on the road.

Most importantly, the Hetao is the area with the most severe soil erosion in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, and the Qin herdsmen must control the water and soil, and can no longer let the herders graze uncontrollably as before.

And to control overgrazing. There is no such thing as now, using war as an excuse to eat the livestock of the steppe. The herdsmen were moved in a clean and neat way.

This is a double win, which not only allows the army to not be dragged down by logistics, but also reduces the loss of grain and grass. It also easily forced the herders on the grasslands to cooperate with the imperial court's policy of moving inward and reducing grazing in order to protect the water and soil in the Hetao area.

The red lady didn't know this, and she thought that Qin Mu didn't care about the herdsmen on the grassland.

There is no doubt that Abu himself is a foodie, and his cooking skills are really good, not only will he stuff the mutton with his belly, but the roasted mutton is also tasteless, delicious and tender.

Qin Mu ate very much, and after he was full of wine and meat, the guards soaked in the best Ming Qian Longjing, and the fragrance of tea was permeated for a while, which attracted Teng Jitai and others to salivate.

Outside the courtyard, the wind Hexizi smiled, the daughter of Longjing in front of the Ming Dynasty was red, and the wine and tea were ready today, Qin Mu was not stingy, and gave the tea, Teng Jitai and others were lucky to get the treasure, and the Longjing before the Ming Dynasty was not something they could drink with these soil buns, and they thanked the tea again and again.

"Your Majesty, are we really crossing the river like this?" Abu finally couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked.

The leader of the Tumut Left Wing Banner, Wenbu Chuhuer, also said: "Your Majesty, the ice and snow of the Yellow River are beginning to melt, the amount of water is large, and the Qitate has laid a good defense on the opposite bank, let's cross the river like this, I'm afraid"

Teng Jitai said smartly: "I'm afraid of what, Your Majesty will not really cross the river here, the soldiers are not tired of cheating, I guess Your Majesty is just helping the suspicious formation and confusing the dog thief of Chitater." ”

"Hahahatenjitai, you guessed wrong this time." Qin Mu smiled heartily, "I have a golden mouth, how can I not believe what I say, my 20,000 army is really full of lunch and will cross the river from now on." ”

"How is this possible, didn't General Su only bring some small boats, how can he cross the river, there are tens of thousands of enemy troops on the other side of the river."

"How to cross the river, that's what General Su has to worry about, I believe in my generals, you can wait to see the show with peace of mind."

If these words didn't come from the mouth of the Great Qin Emperor, everyone would not believe it.

There are also tens of thousands of enemy troops on the opposite side, who are eyeing each other, waiting for the half-crossing to attack, Su Jin brought more than 100 small boats, and can you cross the river with these?

But Qin Mu's relaxed expression clearly wrote: This is not a thing.

On the opposite side, Qi Tate saw that the Qin army was indeed preparing to cross the river, and there were many small boats on the east bank, as well as a large pile of ropes and planks, and a lot of wood was cut in, and some Qin Mu soldiers were sharpening the wood with knives, which seemed to be used to drive piles.

Surprised, Quitat did not dare to slack off, and after repeatedly inspecting the defense line on the west bank, considering that the Qin army's rifles had a long range and great power, he ordered his soldiers to dig a trench by the river.

Tens of thousands of Mongolian strong men wielded shovels and hoes, digging desperately, sweating like rain.

Hadan Batel took off his hat, scratched his itchy scalp, and said to Chitat: "Great Khan, do you really believe that the Qin army will cross the river here?" ”

Chitate patted the horse's head, calmed the restless war horse, shook his head, and said: "The terrain here is indeed the most suitable place to cross the river, no matter whether the enemy really wants to forcibly cross the river from here, it will not be wrong to strengthen the fortifications first." ”

Another general, Meng En, said: "Great Khan, I think the Qin army on the east bank must be bluffing to attract our attention, their real main direction of attack should be the Keyi Gate in the north, Ma Yongzhen has an army of 50,000, they are the main force." ”

"Keyimen is a master, don't open it, I've already arranged it over there, you don't have to worry, the Qin army on the east bank doesn't bring logistics, it must not last long, as long as we cheer up and don't let the Qin army take advantage of it, in a few days, they will have to withdraw in disgrace."

"Great Khan, what exactly did you send Sukhbaru to do, can you sue sΓΉ?"

"I can't." Qi Tate's expression immediately became cold and hard, Meng En and Su Hebaru have a deep friendship, if it weren't for the fact that the Qin army is pressing the border now, when he is employing people, he will not keep Meng En, he has secretly decided, and when he repels the Qin army's attack, he will immediately clear Meng En, "Su Hebalu's whereabouts are top secret, and it is very likely that there are Qin army's meticulous works in our army, so we have to be careful to beware, and when the Qin army is not able to continue with food and grass, then you will know what he is doing." ”

The 10,000-strong army of Chitath, under his strict orders, worked very hard, and a trench was quickly dug two feet deep, and the generals at all levels were not fast enough, and kept shouting: "Hurry up! If anyone is lazy, I will smoke him to death, you, hurry up! ”

Under the supervision of the generals, the Mongolian soldiers were panting and working hard, and the Qin troops on the east bank saw it and laughed on the shore, as if they were watching fools play with birds.

"Don't dig it, it's too late."

"Save it, no matter how many rat holes you dig, it's useless, Lao Tzu can pour you out as soon as you soak in urine."

"Chitate, come and greet the Holy Driver, our majesty is about to cross the river."

"Hahaha"

The Qin army on the east bank was extremely arrogant, of course, they didn't just talk and practice, sure enough, the Qin army, which was full of wine, began to quickly lay wooden stakes and lay wooden planks on the tidal flats on the shore;

The ability of the Han people to work in the civil work, inherited for thousands of years, is recognized as the second in the world, and absolutely no one dares to recognize the first. As soon as the Qin army on the east bank started construction, it was quickly called a fast, dazzling to see, and a wooden plank bridge two feet wide was soon paved on the tidal flat, stretching straight into the water.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the Qin army carrying small boats and putting them into the river, or three or five people, or ten people and eight people, and began to board the boats in a fast and orderly manner.

As soon as they saw this posture, the Mongol soldiers on the west bank threw down their hoes and shovels one after another, shouting one after another.

"The Qin army is going to cross the river!"

"Look, everyone, the Qin army is about to cross the river!"

β€œβ€

Qi Tate couldn't help but wipe his eyes, this is impossible, Qin Jun really crossed the river like this? Is Qin Jun all crazy?
