Chapter 152 I can guarantee you a bright future in Daqin!
As Han Xin showed contempt for the rebels' tactics and blurted out several winning strategies, the First Emperor looked at this wise man with more and more surprise.
What a profound strategic insight and extraordinary military talent! I am so lucky to have obtained such a treasure!
This kid is indeed extraordinary!
Fortunately, he did not stay among the rebels, otherwise the road to suppressing the rebellion would have been full of thorns.
After thinking for a moment, Ying Zheng asked.
"By the way, what strategy did you offer to the rebels yesterday?"
When Han Xin mentioned this, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Oh, don't mention it."
"Although Xiang Yu was brave, he lacked wisdom, and his generals and advisers were short-sighted."
"This person may be good at small-scale battles, but he lacks foresight. Even if he manages to seize power, he will not be able to maintain his position."
Ying Zheng's expression was slightly gloomy. How could the country be taken away so easily?
He is still sitting firmly on the throne!
Han Xin continued, "I gave them a few suggestions last night. The first is to steal the Qin army's horse equipment, then imitate it and equip our own troops first."
"This way, at least when we fight against the Qin Dynasty, we won't be at a disadvantage in terms of equipment."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng took a breath!
If the rebels really adopted and equipped themselves with these, the Qin's ordinary cavalry would lose all their advantages.
They might even return to their predicament of being outdated in horses and equipment!
As for the powerful Snow Dragon Riders, their numbers are limited. If the other side also has a countermeasure like Han Xin, it will become extremely difficult to completely eliminate the rebels.
At this moment, Ying Zheng was even more grateful for Xiang Yu's stupidity. Such an outstanding talent took the initiative to surrender to him, but he did not recognize his value.
Han Xin continued: "Later, I heard that Daqin had a new type of grain seed, and I realized that their uprising would not succeed."
"With seeds, it will be more difficult to recruit soldiers."
"If people have food, they will be less willing to join the army to fight. After all, war means life and death."
"In the final analysis, the people long for stability, and only when they are starving to the point where they can no longer survive will they choose to rebel."
"Besides, they estimated that even if the anti-Qin forces of the six kingdoms were included, the military strength would only be 100,000 or 200,000."
"This amount of troops is a far cry from the million-strong regular army of the Qin Dynasty."
"So I directly suggested to Xiang Yu that he lead the existing forces and not confront the Qin Dynasty head-on, but to seize new grain seeds, horse equipment, and the advanced technology of the Qin Dynasty and go directly to the Western Regions to expand the territory."
"With Xiang Yu's strength, he will definitely be able to gain a foothold there."
"After a few years, I will expand my army, build a stronghold, and fight my way back to the Central Plains. Perhaps I will be able to conquer the world."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng’s face turned pale instantly!
This strategy is extremely cruel!
If Xiang Yu had really listened to him and headed straight for the Western Regions with the existing troops, he might have been able to gain a foothold and use his horses and equipment to fight against the Huns. Even if he could not win for sure, he would have made it difficult for his opponents to win.
Ying Zheng's heart suddenly shook, Xiang Yu's youth and ambition made him feel cold.
He looked at Han Xin anxiously, hoping for a little comfort.
Han Xin's words were like a breeze, blowing away Ying Zheng's worries.
“What a pity!”
Han Xin sighed, "Xiang Yu is short-sighted and would not listen to my good advice."
"He also expelled me!"
"I only want to gather my troops and fight a decisive battle with the Qin Dynasty immediately!"
Ying Zheng's eyes widened. "We are going to fight now? He didn't even have time to steal the warhorse equipment, let alone copy it."
Han Xin explained: "Perhaps Xiang Yu was too confident. He thought today's defeat was just because of an ambush."
"If they were to fight head-on, he firmly believed that he could lead an army of 50,000 and inflict heavy damage on Qin's army of hundreds of thousands."
"He is even confident that he can capture Xianyang." Ying Zheng was surprised: "Did he really say that?"
Han Xin's face was also full of surprise: "Yes, I didn't expect him to be so brave, but so reckless!"
Suddenly, Ying Zheng burst into laughter and slapped his thighs: "Great! It's okay to be reckless!"
"It's a good thing he chased you away."
He turned to Han Xin and said, "Mr. Han, Xiang Yu did not recognize talent and abandoned you, which shows that the destiny is not with the Chu army."
"Why not go and seek refuge with the Thirteenth Prince of the Qin?"
Ying Zheng suggested.
"I believe that with your talent and intelligence, you will be put to good use under the command of the Thirteenth Young Master!"
The topic changed and Ying Zheng began to talk about the hero in the sky.
Han Xin was slightly stunned when he heard this. He had originally no longer had any hope for the Qin Dynasty.
However, the praise from this savior aroused Han Xin's strong interest in the Thirteenth Young Master.
At this time, the potatoes roasted by the campfire exuded an enticing aroma.
Dahei dug out a few and handed them first to the First Emperor and then to Han Xin.
The First Emperor introduced it with a smile on his face: "Try it, this is a new kind of food produced in Daqin, called potato."
“The yield per mu has not been made public yet, but it is definitely an astonishing number.”
"This is all the masterpiece of the Thirteenth Young Master. He has benefited all the people in the world!"
Han Xin took the potato doubtfully, imitated Ying Zheng in peeling the potato, and prepared to taste it.
As soon as you take a bite, the rich aroma instantly fills your mouth.
At this moment, Han Xin was completely conquered by the potato. Although he killed the wolf last night, he did not eat it. If he had not been rescued today, he would have died.
Now, there is not only the life-saving grace, but also the friendship of this meal, and the fact that Daqin has reversed the situation under the leadership of the Thirteenth Prince.
Han Xin was already very interested in the Thirteenth Young Master alone.
Since all the signs indicate that it is God's will for him to leave the Chu army and join the Thirteenth Young Master, after all, there is no one else in this world who can help him realize his ambitions.
However, thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little lost.
"Alas, since the Thirteenth Young Master was able to turn the tide for the Qin Dynasty and even created the Snow Dragon Cavalry that shocked the world, he must have many talented people under his command. How could I be worthy of his attention?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng almost couldn't help laughing.
How many subordinates does he have?
When those two guys met me, each of them was eager to recruit me!
When Dong Zhongshu met me, he actually wanted me to work for him as a county official. Seeing that I refused, he was promoted in a short time and was able to take up a position in one of the six ministries.
Later, Huo Qubing took a liking to me again and insisted that I join the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry. He even set up a test for me, including having to put on armor and mount a horse. It really made me laugh.
As a result, he pestered me to join, gave me the position of captain, and even gave me the Snow Dragon Order.
You tell me, why is he short of people?
Ying Zheng smiled jokingly and said, "You can go, but don't mention that I recommended you."
"If you go there and show your military talent, I can guarantee that he will keep you!"
Han Xin's eyes widened, "Really?"
Ying Zheng nodded firmly, "Of course, I mean what I say."
"Even if the Thirteenth Young Master doesn't accept you, I guarantee that you will have a bright future in Daqin!"
