Chapter 47 Good words cannot persuade the damned

Chen Qilin looked at Maodun and said, "With your skills, no one can compete with you for the throne of the Xiongnu Chanyu!"

Modun, a tyrant who killed his father and succeeded him, married many women, and used his strength to gain power, was cruel and cunning, and had a lot of tricks in his mind. He was indeed invincible in the Xiongnu.

"Sir, why do you say that my future is dark?" Maodun saw that Mr. Tiandaolou stopped talking and asked again.

He couldn't figure it out. Since he could become the king of the Xiongnu, shouldn't his future be bright? Why was his future so dark?

Chen Qilin looked at him and said, "Because you provoked someone you shouldn't have provoked!"

"Someone you shouldn't have provoked?" Maodun was even more confused.

Chen Qilin said, "You Xiongnu people go to the border of Daqin to burn, kill and plunder whenever you have nothing to do. You angered Qin Shihuang. It's only a matter of time before you Xiongnu people are destroyed!"

"Is it that serious?" Maodun sneered.

Chen Qilin nodded:

"Of course, the might of the Qin Dynasty cannot be violated!

You now have two choices:

One is to go back and persuade Tuoman Chanyu to lead the Huns to submit to the Qin Dynasty and become the subjects of Qin Shihuang, so as to avoid destruction;

The second is to continue to fight against the Qin Dynasty, so that you can go back to the grassland and eat as much as you want with your cheap father, and play as much as you want. The rest of your life is short, so cherish your life!"

What Chen Qilin said was the truth. If Qin Shihuang had not died suddenly in the sand dunes, he could have lived for decades longer. Even without his vicious plan, Qin Shihuang would have wiped out the Huns!

Chen Qilin's strategy was just to bring all this forward.

When Maodun heard this, his face was quite ugly, as dark as the bottom of a pot.

The follower was also full of anger, but he did not dare to be disrespectful to Chen Qilin. The body of the brother just now was still lying there and it was not cold!

Maodun was silent for a long time before he said to Chen Qilin, "Sir, is there a third option?"

Chen Qilin shook his head, pointed to the door, and said, "Okay, the Maodun Prince's Gate is there, you can go, I won't see you off!"

Maodun suppressed his anger and walked out of the Tiandao Tower with his followers.

He didn't believe that the Qin Dynasty could destroy the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu were skilled in archery and horse riding, and everyone was good at riding and shooting. They came and went like the wind. Although the Qin Dynasty had cavalry, it was far less than the number of Xiongnu cavalry.

In the vast grassland, it was a fool's dream for the Qin army to destroy the Xiongnu who came and went like the wind!

Maodun left, but he didn't take the body with him.

Because it was inconvenient to carry the body in Xianyang City, it was a burden.

Chen Qilin looked at Maodun and his followers who left with anger, shook his head and sighed:

"Good words can't persuade the damned, and mercy without mercy will kill people!"

Originally, he gave Maodun a way to survive because he had means, commanded troops, and had a high prestige in the Xiongnu.

But Maodun didn't listen to his advice at all!

Chen Qilin looked at the corpse and said, "System, recycle the corpse!"

In a flash, the corpse was recovered.

Chen Qilin obtained 0.5 Tiandao points.

He casually exchanged the jade wolf tooth for 25 Tiandao points.

Now the balance of Tiandao points is 145.5.

To improve the cultivation from the seventh level of foundation building to the eighth level, 500 Tiandao points are needed, which is too little.

He can only save the Tiandao points first.

Chen Qilin slumped on the sofa leisurely like Ge You, took out a thick cigar and held it in the corner of his mouth to puff out smoke!

To the outside of Tiandao Building.

The attendant said angrily: "Head, this Tiandao Tower owner is so abominable. Why don't we set fire to Tiandao Tower and burn him to death?!"

Modun stared at the attendant coldly: "The Tiandao Tower owner is a favorite of Ying Zheng, the dog thief, and he is very powerful. You are seeking death by trying to burn Tiandao Tower! Stop talking nonsense and follow me!"

Modun will never do anything if he is not sure.

"Yes... Chief!" The attendant said nothing more.

...

Outskirts of Xianyang, the camp.

Wang Jian, who had retired from the golden basin, came out again and took the initiative to lead the northern extermination of the Xiongnu.

But at this moment, he was sitting in the big tent and sighing at the rolls of bamboo books.

After Wang Jian carefully studied the information about the Xiongnu, he found a problem.

Daqin's war horses are not enough!

Although the total number of Daqin cavalry is more than 30,000, compared with the Xiongnu cavalry of hundreds of thousands, the Daqin cavalry is still pitifully small, and there is still a shortage of horses.

Even if Your Majesty adopts Mr. Tiandaolou's vicious plan to cut off the Xiongnu's firewood and eventually force the Xiongnu to surrender or destroy them, the Qin Dynasty still needs a large number of powerful cavalry.

One of the keys to cavalry is war horses.

Even if the Qin cavalry is brave and well-trained, if the 30,000 Qin cavalry want to make a long-distance raid, a cavalry must carry several war horses with him to change.

Otherwise, it is impossible to make a long-distance raid.

Horseshoes (horseshoes) had not been invented in this era. When horses carry cavalry loads for a long time and long distance, the horseshoes will easily break or even fall off, so that a warhorse is basically useless.

A warhorse without horseshoes will completely lose the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

Generally, if cavalry want to make a long-distance raid, they will take several war horses to ride in rotation to reduce the load and protect the horseshoes.

The Xiongnu have many horses. Every time they plunder the Qin Dynasty, each cavalry will bring at least four or five horses, and even more than ten war horses. In this way, by rotating the war horses, they can come and go like the wind.

The Qin Dynasty cavalry simply did not have so many war horses for rotation. Each cavalryman was generally equipped with two horses at most, and many cavalrymen only had one horse!

This was also the reason why Meng Tian could only passively adopt defensive measures and build the Great Wall when he led an army of 300,000 in the north.

Due to the limited horses, it was impossible to catch up with the Hun cavalry that came and went like the wind!

Wang Jian murmured to himself: "If the horse problem is not solved, the plan to completely surrender or eliminate the Xiongnu will be greatly affected!"

In the battle to destroy the Xiongnu, the Huns' cavalry must come and go as quickly as the wind. He believed that the Qin Dynasty's more than 30,000 cavalry must be equipped with at least four horses each.

This would also require adding at least nearly 80,000 high-quality war horses, which is not a small number.

Only in this way, combined with a large number of infantry, could Wang Jian be sure to completely eliminate the Huns.

After hesitating for a while, Wang Jian decided to meet the First Emperor.

…

Xianyang, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

After Wang Jian reported the situation to Ying Zheng in detail, he waited quietly.

Ying Zheng paced back and forth, his brows furrowed.

It was not easy for Da Qin to build this cavalry of more than 30,000 people. Many of the horses were sold and bought from the Western Regions through merchants.

Now he is asking Ying Zheng to gather nearly 80,000 high-quality war horses at once. He has no choice!

In the whole world, only the powerful steppe countries such as the Xiongnu, Yueshi, and Donghu could produce 80,000 fine war horses at once.

But they were at odds with Da Qin, so there was no way they could sell their horses to Da Qin!

By smuggling?

The quantity is very limited!

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian and said, "Wu Chenghou, do you really need such a war horse? Can't you arrange more infantry?"

“Your Majesty, if we want to achieve the desired effect by destroying the Xiongnu in the north and include the Xiongnu territory into our Great Qin territory, we must prepare another 80,000 war horses!

Originally, the number of Qin's cavalry was far less than that of the Xiongnu. If the speed of our cavalry could no longer keep up with the Xiongnu's cavalry due to horse problems, this battle would be impossible to fight! "Wang Jian put down his pick and said.

Ying Zheng frowned even more and said angrily: "Wang Jian, Wang Jian, you are just giving me a hard time! Do you think I am a god? I can suddenly conjure 80,000 war horses for you!"

As he was talking, Ying Zheng suddenly thought of someone.

Isn't Mr. Tiandaolou a god-like figure?

Maybe sir, there is a way!

Thank you all for your support!
