Zhang Yanxi has no choice. This can be sold on her own product. The price is only in gold, so she can only sell one or two gold.

This trip to the supermarket once again opened the eyes of the ancients. Before leaving the broadcast, Zhang Yanxi asked His Majesty the First Emperor what he wanted to know about the Qin Dynasty. His Majesty replied "General" and she nodded slightly, understanding.

On the second day of light rain, Zhang Yanxi got up as usual, and she was in a very good mood today. She liked rainy days, and she would like it even more if there was a gust of cool breeze.

The live broadcast started, and it kicked off again today, a week later.

"Today I will tell you about the ranking of the generals of the Qin Dynasty. Speaking of the Qin Dynasty, during the five hundred years of Qin Shihuang's campaign, there were many generals in the Qin Dynasty. There are more than fifty mentions in recorded history books. I have been there, there are too many people, I can only tell you the top four in two times, and I will talk about the other ones later, but after I finish talking about the next topic, the number one on the reward list will also be You can ask questions again, and those you have asked before will not be counted.”

"Speaking of this fourth general, I once mentioned this person when I was explaining Hu Hai. During the reign of Qin II, he did not end up well. He is the general I want to talk about this time. Four - Meng Tian."

"Meng Tian, ​​whose surname is Ji, whose family name is Meng, whose given name is Tian, ​​is a native of Qi State and a famous general of the Qin Dynasty. Meng Tian was born in a family of famous generals for generations. His grandfather Meng Ao and father Meng Wu were both famous generals of the Qin State, and they were deeply influenced by their family environment. He has had great ambitions since he was young.”

"In 221 BC, Meng Tian was named a general and attacked Qi. For his contribution to defeating Qi, he was worshiped as internal history. His younger brother Meng Yi also became the supreme minister. The Meng brothers were deeply favored by Qin Shihuang. Meng Tian served as foreign affairs, and Meng Yi They were often internal plotters and were known as "loyal and trustworthy" at the time. Other generals did not dare to compete with them for favor. After Qin unified the six kingdoms, Meng Tian led an army of 300,000 to attack the Xiongnu in the north. He regained Henan and built Lintao in the west and Longxi in the east. He went to the Great Wall of Liaodong and fought in northern Xinjiang for more than ten years, shocking the Huns."

"In 221 BC, Qin Shihuang completed the great feat of unifying the six countries. When he destroyed other countries, Meng Tian, ​​Qin Shihuang's right-hand man, was not present. When Qin Shihuang was attacking the six countries, what was Meng Tian doing? As Qin Shihuang, Meng Tian The capable generals will naturally appear on the battlefield, and Meng Tian’s enemy is not the Six Kingdoms, but the Huns!"

"Since ancient times, the nomadic peoples on the Mongolian Plateau have been very powerful beings, and they have also been one of the difficult problems in the history of the country. Each war horse is equipped with very powerful Huns. Their existence has made the people who unified the Central Plains The monarchs felt a slight threat, and the big Han probably felt the same way, and it was difficult to fight back. With such a tough Huns, the opponent Meng Tian beat "didn't dare to go south and herd horses."

"It cannot be said that the Han Dynasty is not good, because the national strength of Qin and Han at that time could not be compared. In addition, the army led by Meng Tian at that time was far better than that of the early Han Dynasty. It can be said that all the people in the Qin Dynasty were soldiers, while the Han Dynasty had not yet received the baptism of war. Détente cannot lead to war with the Xiongnu. It can be said that the strength of the Qin and Han Dynasties was relative to the Xiongnu. As we all know, war is ultimately a contest of national strength between the two countries. The so-called "the army does not move, food and grass go first" is true. "

"Secondly, at that time, the cavalry did not have stirrups, and their impact power was limited, so they had no advantage against crossbows. Moreover, the Huns did not have iron arrowheads at that time, and bone and bronze arrowheads were not lethal enough. After the Xiongnu mastered metallurgical technology, they gave Liu Bang a white wolf. Surrounded by mountains. When the stirrup was invented in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the nomads became unstoppable. However, we are mainly talking about Mengtian's battle. The development of the dynasties was different, and the two cannot be compared."

Liu Bang:......

"In 215 BC, Qin Shihuang, with Meng Tian as commander, led 300,000 Qin troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north. On the bank of the Yellow River, the Qin army, mainly infantry, and the Xiongnu cavalry launched a life-or-death battle."

"It should not be difficult for Meng Tian to fight against the Xiongnu with an army of 300,000, and Meng Tian did not disappoint Qin Shihuang. Meng Tian adopted a staged and step-by-step attack method against the Xiongnu. First, of course, he attacked the Xiongnu to regain Henan; finally, he built the Great Wall It was used to better resist the Huns' attack. After the plan was formulated, Meng Tian decided to surprise the Huns."

"Meng Tian personally led the army into two groups. One part went north from Yulin, and then quickly captured the northern part of Hetao, and the other part entered the southern part of Hetao. Facing the fierce attack of the Qin army, the Huns were defenseless. In this way, Meng Tian easily recovered the Henan area and defeated Huns!"

"The army led by Meng Tian defeated the Xiongnu armies in the upper reaches of the Yellow River with an unstoppable force, forcing the Xiongnu to flee seven hundred miles to the north of the desert."

"Meng Tian severely damaged the fierce and brave Xiongnu in just one battle, causing them to be defeated and run in all directions. The Xiongnu did not dare to enter the Han Dynasty for decades, and Meng Tian's contribution was the highest. Meng Tian led a large number of troops to sit in the town and county. In order to strengthen the defense line in the Hetao area, To the north of the Yellow River in Hetao, build pavilions and barriers and build castles as outposts of the Yellow River defense line."

"After defeating the Huns, Meng Tian did not relax, but ordered him to start building the Great Wall. Only after the Great Wall was built could it resist the Huns' invasion. At that time, Meng Tian was the nemesis of the Huns!"

"After this battle, it brought a stable social environment to the north for more than ten years and created conditions for the development of the Hetao area. Meng Tian fought bravely, won by surprise, and defeated the Huns. This was the greatest achievement in his life. People He lived up to his reputation as "China's No. 1 Warrior". Meng Tian stationed in Shangjun and shocked the Huns for more than ten years.

"Qin Shihuang respected the Meng family very much, trusted and praised Meng Tian's talents, and was close to Meng Tian's younger brother Meng Yi. He was the highest minister. He would ride in the same car with Qin Shi Huang when he went out, and he would accompany Qin Shi Huang when he was at home. Meng Tian was in charge of foreign affairs. Meng Yi was often a conspirator and was known as loyal at the time. Therefore, other generals and ministers did not dare to compete with them for favor."

"Meng Yi had a strict rule of law and never favored the powerful. No one in the civil and military dynasties dared to compete with him. One day, Zhao Gao, the chamberlain, committed a serious crime. Meng Yi sentenced him to death in accordance with the law and removed him from his eunuch position. However, Qin Shihuang gave him the Pardoned. From then on, the Meng brothers became Zhao Gao's heartache."

"This resulted in the subsequent unjust murder of the two brothers."

"This is how later, when Qin Shihuang visited the south and the first emperor died, Zhao Gao was worried that Fusu would succeed and Meng Tian would be reused, which would be detrimental to himself, so he withheld the imperial edict and conspired with Hu Hai to usurp the throne. He also used coercion and inducement to force Li Si Conspired with them, Li Si also knew that Fusu was closer to the two Mengtian brothers, and fearing that their status would be affected, the two colluded and forged the edict."
