Chapter 542 The role of Yuezhi cavalry in herdsmen, did Li Xin make a mistake?
Still fighting for a few more years?
Hearing this, Qiu Lu on one side was a little confused.
Although he guessed that the Qin army might have to take down the Wusun Grassland in one go.
But according to what he only knew about the Qin army's strength.
I'm afraid it will take less than half a month to conquer the Wusun Grassland?
But why did His Majesty the First Emperor say that the Qin army would continue to fight for several years?
Seemingly seeing Qiu Lu's doubts, Zhang Liang next to him explained in a low voice with a small smile:
"Now I am sending troops to Daqin, not simply to attack the city, but to go west. 35
"Western Expedition?" Qiu Lu was slightly taken aback.
Although literally, the word is quite understandable.
It is nothing more than sending troops to conquer the west.
But why?
Zhang Liang went on to explain: "This world is far bigger than you and I imagined, and now the power of the Qin Dynasty is far more powerful than before.
"Besides, according to the immortals, there is also a very developed country in the far west. If we don't conquer it now, it will pose a great threat to us in the future."
"So since the Qin army has the ability now, since 860, it will continue to expand its territory and remove all obstacles for the real domination of the world."
Zhang Liang's words shocked Qiu Lu.
"Does the immortals know about things in the far west?"
"What's this." Zhang Liang smiled slightly: "Let's not say that it is the west, it is the blueprint of all the topography of our world, and the immortals also took it out.
"His magic, you will have a deeper understanding when you arrive at Daqin Pass.
Zhang Liang looked mysterious.
Some things don't need to be said.
Things like steam engines, schools, high-yield crops, and even their villas.
Often, when people see it with their own eyes, they will truly realize how far Daqin is today.
At this moment, Lao Zhao suddenly said, "Qiu Lu, how many Yuezhi cavalry do you have?"
Seeing Lao Zhao asking about it, Qiu Lu didn't care about Zai (bhfa) and Zhang Liang asking about the current situation of Daqin, and quickly replied:
"If you go back to Your Majesty, there are still more than 30,000 cavalrymen of the original Yuezhi, and there are also about 60,000 or 70,000 herdsmen who can serve as cavalrymen on the battlefield.
"Um"
Old Zhao let out a light hum, and then began to frown and ponder.
Su Yu thought for a while, and then whispered:
"30,000 Yuezhi cavalry is enough, and the 60,000-70,000 experienced herdsmen will be much more valuable to the future Daqin animal husbandry than they are used to fight wars. 95
"Well, yes." Lao Zhao nodded, agreeing with Su Yu's point of view.
Although the 60,000-70,000 cavalry seems to be quite a lot.
But because they were originally herdsmen, they lacked professional training.
Not to mention the uneven combat effectiveness, they lack discipline, and maybe they will delay the retreat of the army at that time.
On the contrary, if they were allowed to migrate to the Xiongnu grasslands and mixed with the Daqin herdsmen to graze.
His rich experience in grazing from generation to generation has played a huge role in promoting the development of animal husbandry in Daqin.
"Okay, then do that."
Lao Zhao raised his head and looked at Qiu Lu again: "Qiu Lu, from tomorrow onwards, your Yuezhi cavalry will be incorporated into our Daqin cavalry.
"As for the 70,000 or 80,000 herdsmen, I will order people to come and bring them to the Xiongnu steppe. Do you have any objection?"
"This..." Qiu Lu was stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
At this time, the opposite Wang Ben suddenly said loudly:
"You can rest assured that there was no substantial confrontation between the two armies, and my Daqin soldiers are honest and pure, and will definitely not bully your Yuezhi people.
"Furthermore, the combat effectiveness of the Yuezhi cavalry is not much worse than that of the former Xiongnu cavalry, and we would not be willing to let them be cannon fodder for such an excellent fighter.
Lao Zhao also promised at this time: "Don't worry, from now on, the Yuezhi cavalry will enjoy the same treatment as my Daqin cavalry.
"Within a month, the horses and equipment distributed by my Daqin cavalry will not be short of your Yuezhi cavalry.
Hearing the joint commitment of His Majesty the First Emperor and the chief general Wang Ben, Qiu Lu was overjoyed.
He was hesitant just now, because they Yuezhi were the losers without a fight, would they be humiliated after they joined the Qin army, or even taken as cannon fodder.
As for the relocation of herdsmen, he had nothing to say.
After all, although the Xiongnu pasture will be colder in winter, it is more fertile.
Where to move to is something they never dared to dream of.
Now even his Yuezhi cavalry have been treated by the Qin army, so what else can he say?
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements tomorrow morning.
Lao Zhao nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Li Xin: "A Xin, you will also come to help tomorrow morning.
"Okay! 35 Li Xin grabbed the fat sheep in the bowl and said without raising his head.
6699
While chewing the fragrant mutton in his mouth, Li Xin suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.
He looked up subconsciously and saw that everyone present was looking at him with a smile in their eyes.
Shit, what's the matter?
Li Xin, who was bewildered and bewildered, looked at Su Yu subconsciously.
Su Yu pouted slightly in the direction of Qiu Lu, indicating that Li Xin still has outsiders present, this is not his house.
