At the end of summer in the twelfth year of Yuanwu of the Great Qin Dynasty, the Great Qin Dynasty and the Wuzhi Kingdom clashed on the border.
The cause of the conflict was simply a drinking toilet.
Just because of this drinking toilet, a soldier of the Great Qin Dynasty died.
That night, the frontier army of the Great Qin Dynasty asked the Wuzhi Kingdom to hand over the Wuzhi Kingdom warrior who killed the Daqin soldiers.
However, the Wuzhi Kingdom emphasized that the Daqin soldier had already crossed the border.
However, the Daqin frontier army believed that it was indeed the drinking toilet of the Qin army, and the soldier's legitimate request was not responded to.
So after the request was rejected, the Great Qin Frontier Army took very decisive measures.
A frontier army decisively launched an attack on the garrison where the Wuzhi warrior was.
This kind of conflict intensified in the next few days, and as the Qin Dynasty continued to increase its army, it soon turned into a war.
However, anyone in future generations who is willing to count the time will easily find that on the same day that soldier died drinking the toilet, many troops of Daqin had already begun to cross Yinshan Mountain and move to the border of Wuzhi Country.
Many practitioners of Changling also set off that night, rushing to that piece of wilderness and bitter cold for the people of Qin.
Moreover, in the eyes of those who study warfare in later generations, the Great Qin Dynasty definitely seized a good opportunity.
The closest ones to Wuzhi are the Yuezhi and Xiqiang. The Yuezhi has already become a vassal state of the Great Qin Dynasty. After the war broke out, the Yuezhi army directly joined the war against Wuzhi.
Xiqiang itself had just experienced a civil strife. Several princes worked together to kill the old king, but they were conquered one by one by their mother leading the old king's old troops. Now the powerful mother queen has become the real leader of Xiqiang. But it was impossible to allocate troops to support Wu Zhi.
…
At the end of summer in the twelfth year of Yuanwu in the Great Qin Dynasty, Ding Ning was one of many practitioners of Changling who rushed to Yinshan Mountain.
Practitioners who have never participated in a war, regardless of their cultivation level, are new conscripts and will be escorted by military conscription officers.
Daqin's military orders are extremely strict, and if the delay is too late, even the conscription officers will be deprived of military merits and forced to work, or if the opportunity is missed, they will be executed directly.
Therefore, the army transporting recruits is not just an escort, but like an escort of prisoners, with the mission of delivering them.
Because it was wartime, the conscription officer who set off from Changling was himself a general who was going to be dispatched to the border. The army Ding Ning was in was part of the Suwei Army stationed 130 miles outside Changling.
This army numbered 2,000, but it carried a large number of iron and bronze utensils, which belonged to the normal daily use of the frontier army and the utensils used for land reclamation.
Like many previous dynasties, the Great Qin Dynasty also had extremely strict control over metal utensils that could produce magic weapons and some powerful weapons, and most of the workshops were also gathered in Changling.
When it comes to war, things will flow out with the army like flowing water. Although a lot of manpower and material resources are spent on the way, it also creates an advantage-government orders must be implemented, and the army of the Great Qin Dynasty responded extremely quickly.
The highest officer of this army is Guo Feng, he is from Guanzhong, and he is also an old acquaintance with Nangong Caishu's father, and he respects Ding Ning very much.
When Ding Ning and a group of people followed up outside the Changling Mausoleum, and the team started to officially set off, he immediately invited Ding Ning and Nangong Caishu to his chariot.
"Many people in Changling have heard many things about you."
The figure of this general is not tall, he is even slightly stooped, and the top of his head is already a little bald, but his whole body still exudes the iron and blood that only soldiers who have gone through countless battles have. He respectfully looked at Ding Ning slightly He bowed and saluted, and his tone was extremely humble, "Especially I heard how you rejected Lord Liling and how you helped that Jianghu figure named Wang Taixu become the underground leader of Changling, so I know how powerful you are." It's not just about cultivation, not just about your strength to fight across borders, but also about your ability and strategy to foresight."
Ding Ning is not a very humble person, and he doesn't know how to say polite words, so he listened to the general's words, but bowed back very seriously, and said: "I am injured too much, and the battle may be difficult. If there is anything that can help General Guo along the way, the general can open his mouth."
Guo Feng was very satisfied with his attitude, and appreciated Ding Ning even more, so he laughed and said, "You should be my military advisor...of course, just to help along the way."
After a pause, he immediately suppressed his smile, and said slowly: "The journey is too long, and your reputation is too great. I'm afraid the journey will not be peaceful."
Ding Ning glanced at this ordinary-looking general and said, "The general is also a smart person."
"This time, Daqin conquered Wushi, what do you think?" Guo Feng looked at Ding Ning and asked without any modesty or superfluous words.
"The key lies in the attitude of the Great Chu Dynasty, which is separated from Wuzhi by Yinshan Mountain. Whether it is Xiqiang or Donghu, they will not be able to change Wuzhi's fate in the end." Ding Ning smiled slightly and said: "The movement is so big that even you The Suwei army has been transferred out, I don't know how many practitioners have sent out Changling, how can they be reconciled if they don't take down Wuzhi?"
Guo Feng nodded and said, "I agree with your point of view."
Ding Ning looked at him, and then said: "Donghu will naturally send troops. Donghu is not just with Wuzhi, but most of Donghu's iron and bone wares come from Wuzhi. If Wuzhi belongs to our Great Qin, as long as there is no border trade, After Donghu is ten years away, the army may not even have enough weapons. But whether it is Donghu sending troops or Chu crossing the Yin Mountain, the journey is very long, so Wuzhi will definitely not fight my Great Qin soon, and will definitely delay time. My Great Qin Therefore, the reason why we want to set up a border city behind Yinshan is because Donghu used to be called barbarians in the desert, and they are best at running on iron horses. If we want to pursue it, it is very difficult for our Qin army to catch up. After Yinshan, I am afraid that it will be over a month later. Luoxue, they will be dragged behind Luoxue no matter what."
Guo Feng's eyes flickered violently. He had thought about some of these things, but some things were not as thorough as Ding Ning's. Most importantly, he felt that what Ding Ning said was very reasonable.
"But the queen must have considered this point, so any army will carry so many things."
Ding Ning turned around slowly, looked at the escorting vehicles, and said: "So she will not be impatient, and she will be very safe and let the opponent delay the decisive battle after the snow falls. This choice will reduce the casualties a lot, but after a long time, It's going to be tough. And with a small army, there are too many variables."
Guo Feng took a deep breath and looked at Ding Ning seriously, "We will all go to Donghu in the end, where we should all belong to a small army."
Ding Ning laughed and said, "It's like this after arriving at Donghu. On the way before arriving at Donghu, I'm afraid it's just as the general thought. We are like bait."
Guo Feng didn't seem to be surprised by this sentence, but his face turned a little bit colder.
"The general said that I am too famous and my practice speed is too fast. I am a great threat to the other three dynasties."
Ding Ning said lightly: "There are not enough powerful practitioners in the general's army, so for those who want to assassinate me, they don't need to pay too much."
"Since you understand better than me, it means that you are capable enough to remind me what to do in a timely manner."
Guo Feng looked at the road ahead, and said slowly, "My duty is not only to transport you to the place on time, but also to try my best to bring these sons who followed me back to their hometowns."
