"Two years or so is enough time," Ying Xiao said, "enough for us to build a strong city in Wolf County."

"Your Highness, building a city is not difficult, it only requires money and food..." Duanmu Rong said worriedly.

"Don't worry, it's enough." Ying Xiao said, "In the territory of Daqin, Zhang Liang and Tian Xing, as well as several predecessors of Xuanyuan Tian, ​​have begun to take action against the aristocratic families and the merchants and nobles."

"Over the past hundreds of years, the wealth they have accumulated, even if only 30% or 40% of it, is enough for the North."

"Your Highness, such an action is definitely a reform that is no less than Shang Yang's reforms. Will it cause turmoil?" Chi Lian was extremely worried. As a former princess of Korea, Chi Lian was well aware of the dangers behind this.

"Of course there will be turbulence, but it depends on the measures taken." Ying Xiao said, "Your Majesty has ordered that half of these wealth belongs to the people of the world and will be used for tax exemption, disaster relief, compensation, etc."

"The emperor should share the world with the people."

Hearing this, the three women were shocked.

"So don't worry, there will be no problem, and all problems are destined to have the best solution." Ying Xiao said, "Mao Dun, he wants to swallow up the Qin Dynasty, it's wishful thinking."

"After so many days of relaxation, it's time to get down to business. Let's pack up and go back to Shangjun."

"Yes, Your Highness..." The three girls nodded and went to clean up.

Then, Ying Xiao went to meet Nuomin and Hu Ji.

Talk about the city forging.

"Forging a city..." Both women were shocked, and then they became embarrassed. "Your Highness, we know the significance of forging a city, but the wolf tribe has almost no financial and material resources. To build a city is really..."

"Don't worry. I will provide you with financial and material resources, especially the equipment for building the city and the skilled craftsmen needed." Ying Xiao said.

"Also, for the people of the Wolf Tribe, this is not forced labor, but paid forging of the city."

"Building a city for a fee?" Nuomin and Hu Ji were shocked again.

"Yes, building the city will be paid, and the reward will not be small." Ying Xiao said.

"Your Highness, if this is the case, it will probably only take a year for this city to be built," said Nuomin and Hu Ji.

"This is the result I want. Only by building a city can the wolf tribe's land truly become Wolf County." Ying Xiao said.

"Then let's get started on this matter." said Nuomin and Hu Ji.

"Thank you for your hard work." Ying Xiao held the two women in his arms and said lovingly, "These things should not be done by you two women, but for the wolf tribe at this time, all the work can only be done by you."

"It's enough that Your Highness knows how to cherish us. But Your Highness, you should leave soon, right?" Hu Ji said reluctantly.

Nuomin's expression also became resentful, and he was also reluctant to leave.

"There's no other way. The preparations for building the city are very complicated, so I have to go back to Shangjun. But don't worry, I'll be traveling back and forth between the two places for a long time to come, so..." Ying Xiao said, stroking the cheeks of the two women.

"But your highness will have to leave us soon, so..." Hu Ji smiled charmingly and threw Ying Xiao down directly. Nuomin was naturally unwilling to lag behind...

Good times always pass the fastest, and soon it was the next day.

Early in the morning, Ying Xiao took the three women and set off for Shangjun.

The 30,000 golden fire cavalry did not return to Shangjun, but stayed with Nuomin and Hu Ji just in case.

......

"Your Highness..." Outside Shangjun City, Meng Tian and Dian Qing led their troops to welcome Ying Xiao.

"Maodun should have retreated completely, right?" Ying Xiao asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, we have retreated completely. According to what the Wolf King has discovered, they have no food or fodder, and the sky is full of ice and snow, which is indeed not conducive to his cavalry's long-distance raid." Meng Tian said.

"Maodun will never come again within two years, or even three years, or even longer, but we don't have time to relax," said Ying Xiao.

"Your Highness, I understand." Meng Tian nodded.

"I understand..." Ying Xiao whispered, and then his eyes fell on Dian Qing, "Senior Dian Qing, how are you?"

"Your Highness Dianqing is grateful for your kindness in giving me a new life." Dianqing thanked Ying Xiao.

"Thank you for your courtesy, senior. However, you and your vanguard troops will have to work hard from now on. They will need to keep traveling back and forth between Shangjun and Langjun." Ying Xiao said.

"I want to build a strong city in Wolf County. I have to trouble you to escort the many materials."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Dian Qing will not let you down." Dian Qing said solemnly.

"Your Highness, building a city..." Meng Tian was slightly surprised.

"Yes, Zhucheng. Only Zhucheng can truly defend the land of Langjun." Ying Xiao nodded, and then looked at the many officials who came forward, "Is the governor of Shangjun here?"

Chapter 222 Strategy!

"Your Highness, I am..." The governor of Shangjun County immediately bowed and came out.

"As for the material and financial resources needed to build the city, I will leave them to you. You will contact the two prime ministers on all matters." Ying Xiao said.

"Yes, Your Highness..." The Shangjun County Magistrate nodded heavily.

"There is one thing you need to remember. I will not tolerate any sand in my eyes regarding this matter. Tell all the officials that if anyone dares to steal the money and any materials used to build the city, exterminating the entire clan is only the beginning." Ying Xiao's tone turned cold and he spoke sternly.

"Your Highness, I know." The prefect of Shangjun said with a little trembling.

"That's good to know." Ying Xiao nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Ying Xiao entered the city. He did not go to Meng Tian's military camp, but stayed in the county governor's palace. Although all matters were handed over to the county governor of Shangjun, he still had to take care of many things personally, as there were many people who valued money over their lives.

The matter of building the city in Wolf County cannot be sloppy in the slightest.

Ying Xiao asked Meng Tian to follow him to the county magistrate's palace, as there was something more important that Meng Tian needed to do.

"General Meng, what is the biggest difference between our army and the Huns?" Ying Xiao asked.

"Your Highness, it is naturally the cavalry, fighting on the vast grasslands and Gobi Desert. No matter how brave our infantry corps are or how powerful our bows and crossbows are, to be honest, they can only defend the city." Meng Tian said.

"And the Huns will definitely not be stupid enough to attack us face to face."

"That's right, cavalry. If we want to destroy the Huns and make the vast Huns' land part of the Qin territory, we must build a truly invincible cavalry." Ying Xiao said.

"The key to the so-called iron cavalry lies in the horses."

"Your Highness is right. The key to everything lies in the horses. Not to mention the Huns' Ferghana horses, even the most common horses of the Huns are far stronger than the horses of the Golden Fire Cavalry under my command." Meng Tian said.

"There is one thing I want to report to Your Highness. I want to take away a group of stallions from the wolf tribe."

"General Meng, just the wolf tribe's Marco is not enough." Ying Xiao said, "The strongest cavalry I want must be a Ferghana horse."

"This king needs a cavalry like this, starting from Wolf County, galloping all the way, straight into the heart of the Xiongnu."

"Your Highness, do you want to launch a large-scale detour strategy against the Huns?" Meng Tian asked.

"Yes, the great detour strategy. What I want is to completely annihilate the Huns and make their land part of the Qin territory. Otherwise, just defeating the Huns will only give us a dozen years of peace at most." Ying Xiao said.

"Mao Dun will come again."

"When he comes again, it will be his first real battle with my Great Qin."

"And this is definitely the last battle."

"The first battle is the decisive battle. One battle determines life or death."

"Launch a large detour. General Meng Tian will lead the Golden Fire Cavalry, the Great Wall Legion, and the Wolf Cavalry to advance from the front. The iron cavalry that I imagined will suddenly rush out from the heart of the Xiongnu and surround Maodun, leaving him no way to escape."

"Your Highness, this..." Meng Tian hesitated.

"General Meng, just say whatever you want to say." Ying Xiao said.

"Your Highness, the cavalry and legions advancing in the front are fine, because they have a city behind them, and the area they are in is also grassland, so they can get enough logistical supplies." Meng Tian said, "But the cavalry that is making a large detour..."

"We have to travel through endless Gobi and deserts, and it is impossible to get enough supplies and water."

"Even if we manage to reach the Xiongnu's hinterland or rear, our troops and horses will be exhausted. How can we fight?"

"General Meng Tian is right to think it's impossible. Maodun, the Khan of the Xiongnu, will also think it's impossible." Ying Xiao said, "If the Great Qin wants to completely swallow up the Xiongnu, we must do things that others can't think of, dare not think of, can't do, and dare not do."

"So, General Meng Tian, ​​do you understand what I mean?"

"Your Highness, I understand..." Hearing Ying Xiao's words, Meng Tian was shocked, and the fighting spirit in his eyes could not help but burn. He said heavily, "Your Highness, in fact, it is possible to fight across the vast Gobi and desert."

"If each rider can have the logistical support of three horses, your highness's great detour strategy can be implemented."

"One cavalryman needs three horses for logistical support, so 10,000 cavalrymen need 30,000 horses for logistical support, 20,000 need 60,000, and 30,000 need 90,000." Ying Xiao said solemnly, "It is true that gold paves the road, and horses and men form the wall."

"However, I want to make this impossible possible."

"Not only that, I also want to form an alliance. Cleon is from Dayuezhi, and there are thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. If my Great Qin can form an alliance with them..."

"Your Highness, there is no need to talk about uniting with Dayuezhi and the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. As long as they can agree to provide us with logistical supplies, we will definitely win the future battle." Meng Tian said heavily, his fighting spirit and confidence completely ignited by Ying Xiao.

"The strategy has been decided, so we need to prepare for it, horses and people." Ying Xiao said, "General Meng, get enough Ferghana horses from the Xiongnu and I'll leave it to you."

"We have people who value money over life, and there must be some on the Xiongnu side as well."

"Your Highness, of course there are, and a lot of them," said Meng Tian.

"Well, then we will do a long-term business with these Huns, using the silk clothes, rouge and powder, gold and silver jewelry they want in exchange for the Ferghana horses we want," said Ying Xiao.

"In a word, we will give them whatever they want in terms of materials, but we only want the Arabian horses."

"Your Highness, I understand..." Meng Tian nodded heavily, "I will start making arrangements immediately."

"General, the issue of horses is left to you. When Maodun comes again, I hope to see a truly invincible cavalry." Ying Xiao said.

"Yes, Your Highness..." Meng Tian nodded heavily.

Then, Ying Xiao took out Zhenyue.

"General Meng, do you know this sword?" Ying Xiao asked.

"Your Highness, this is Zhenyue, a magical weapon of military strategists..." Meng Tian said excitedly.

"Yes, it's yours now." Ying Xiao said.

Buzz!

At this time, Zhen Yue was already ringing, and it was an excited ringing sound.

"Senior Li Mu hopes that you will not disgrace the name of this magical weapon." Ying Xiao also passed Li Mu's words to Meng Tian.

"Your Highness, no." Meng Tian said solemnly while borrowing the sword.

"When you have time, go to the peach blossom forest and thank Senior Li Mu in person." Ying Xiao whispered, "Of course, if there is a possibility that this king wants, it would be the best."

"In the Great Detour, the commander of the Wolf Tribe's cavalry was the one I favored."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best." Meng Tian bowed and nodded.

After Meng Tian left, Ying Xiao sent a message to ask Gao Jianli, Da Tiechui and Dao Zhi to come.

After leaving the farm, the three of them went to inquire about the news of Emperor Yan's lineage.

There are also Bai Feng, Wushuang Gui and other former members of Liusha.

There is something very important that they need to do.

He was sent as an envoy to the Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions and the Dayuezhi.

Chapter 223: Ying Zheng comes out of seclusion! His daughter is born!

For the following period of time, apart from practicing and having fun with the three women, Ying Xiao was busy with the matter of building a city.

Gao Jianli, Bai Feng and others also arrived one after another.

In the hall, Ying Xiao looked at everyone and said, "I asked you to come here because of an important matter. I will organize an envoy army for you to go to Dayuezhi and the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions."

"It seems that Your Highness is going to take big action against the Huns." Bai Feng said.

"Yes, the first battle against the Huns will be the decisive one, so I must make all preparations." Ying Xiao said, "This time you are on a diplomatic mission to the Western Regions to persuade them to join forces with our Great Qin. If you cannot persuade them to join forces, at least you must make sure they provide supplies for our cavalry."

"Yes, Your Highness." Everyone nodded.

Ying Xiao also took out Cleon's sword, handed it to Gao Jianli, and gave him instructions...

......

Soon, the first batch of supplies for Zhucheng was ready, and Gongshu Chou arrived to serve as the governor of Zhucheng.

Dian Qing and his vanguard troops escorted supplies to Lang County, and Ying Xiao followed them. There was no other way. If he didn't go, Nuomin and Hu Ji would be sad.

Ying Xiao doesn't want his woman to be sad...

In this way, Ying Xiao stayed in Shangjun and Langjun for a full half a year.
