Meng Tian was stunned again.
"This is impossible!"
Meng Tian blurted out.
After so many years of war, how could Meng Tian not know the importance of a map?
Ever since she was in charge of defending the border, Meng Tian had been arranging for the situation in the Great Prairie to be investigated. She had sent out countless scouts, but they had little effect.
After all, the Xiongnu people and Great Qin people looked too different, so they were easily recognized.
Once they went deep into the Xiongnu gathering place, the scouts would be easily discovered by the Xiongnu people and would never return.
After repeated losses, Meng Tian had no choice but to give up on this idea.
But now, Fu Su actually said that he had a detailed map of the Great Prairie?
How was this possible?
Meng Tian's expression darkened. She felt that Fu Su was muddle-headed.
"General Meng, you can see for yourself whether it's true or not.”
Fu Su smiled faintly. He took out the grassland topographic map that he carried with him and spread it out on the table.
Because it was necessary to show some detailed terrain, the scale of the topographic map was usually relatively large.
As a result, the entire world map was divided into more than ten scrolls that were two meters wide and more than ten meters long.
Meng Tian was stunned again.
Young Master is so confident, could it be?
With his meticulous mind, he quickly discovered that the map was not drawn using the goatskin that Great Qin usually used.
Instead, it was made of a lighter and cleaner material.
"Young Master, what material is this drawing made of?" he asked.”
"This is called paper. It is used for writing and drawing. It is much cheaper and more convenient than bamboo slips and silk.”
"But that's not the main point, okay?”
Fu Su was speechless.
Meng Tian gasped.
Although she was a general, Meng Tian's knowledge was not bad.
The writing brush used by Great Qin was something that Meng Tian had personally modified.
He was very clear about the value of this thing called paper that he had never heard of before.
In this period, people mainly used bamboo slips or silk.
Not only did the bamboo slips contain very little information, but they were also difficult to transport and store due to their size and weight.
Furthermore, silk and sheepskin were too expensive to be used by ordinary people.
If this kind of paper was used as a substitute.
Presumably, it would allow more people in the world to be able to afford to study.
More talents would emerge.
However, Fu Su was right. The most important thing now was not the paper, but the content recorded on it.
Meng Tian took a deep breath and looked around.
As the two-meter-wide scroll was unfolded.
Bright colors appeared before everyone's eyes.
The lush green and earthy yellow intertwined, and the deep blue stretched out as far as the eye could see.
Even those who didn't understand could tell at a glance that this was the appearance of the earth.
Not to mention a military expert like Meng Tian.
"This…"
Meng Tian's eyes widened in shock when she saw the land.
At this moment, the shock in Meng Tian's heart far exceeded the feeling she had when she first learned about the paper making technique.
"This is impossible!" Meng Tian trembled as she touched the colors on the map.
As a general of Great Qin, he had seen almost all of the maps.
However, it was basically a piece of sheepskin or silk with a square representing a city.
He drew a small mountain, representing the mountains and hills.
It could be said that it couldn't be any simpler.
When marching to war, it was only used as a reference. When it really came to fighting, they had to send scouts to investigate in detail.
This was also one of the reasons why Meng Tian did not have much hope for the map of the Great Prairie.
However, on the map in front of him…
The hills, mountains, plains, and rivers were all clearly visible.
It even marked out the size in detail, which was more detailed than the best scouts.
It was as if…he was looking down from the sky.
It was simply a celestial treasure!
Could it be that he had helped Young Master Su ascend to the heavens?
In her shock, Meng Tian looked at Fu Su with a strange gaze.
As the ten-meter-long scroll was completely opened.
The expression on Meng Tian's face became more and more interesting.
Countless mountain ranges meandered across the land like angry dragons.
The meandering river flowed and nourished a vast grassland.
Looking at this topographic map, it gave people the illusion that they were looking down at the world from high above.
"Young…Young Master! This is Shangjun, where we are!”
Meng Tian searched carefully and quickly found Shangjun by relying on the words.
His fingers could not help but tremble.
It could be clearly seen on the map.
Shangjun was built on a mountain range, forming a long dragon. It was the site of the Great Wall.
Behind them was a large grassland, which was the Pass, Great Qin's core region.
The Turbid River (Yellow River) cut diagonally from the north and split into countless tributaries, becoming the mother river of the old Qin people.
After being stationed in Shangjun for a long time, the surrounding mountains and landforms.
As the leader of the army, how could Meng Tian not recognize him?
Meng Tian looked at a few other places in ecstasy.
"This is Yu Zhong!"
"This is Yunzhong County. I once fought with the Xiongnu here, and I can still vaguely remember the terrain.”
"Jiuyuan County, that's right, it's here!”
"This is the Yin Mountain Range. The Great Wall was built along this line.”
……
The more Meng Tian looked, the more excited she became.
This map was extremely detailed.
Although some parts were as small as the nose of a needle and could not be seen with the naked eye.
However, the description was still exceptionally clear.
Every hill and every river was vividly expressed with colors and curves.
The geographical situation of the entire Great Prairie was vividly depicted on the paper.
It was no exaggeration to say that with this map, even the Xiongnu Chanyu did not understand the Great Prairie as well as Fu Su and Meng Tian.
After all, the map of the Great Prairie was even cruder than Great Qin's.
What they relied on was the memories that had been passed down through word of mouth, as well as the fact that Great Qin was not familiar with them.
Meng Tian looked at Fu Su with admiration.
One had to know that the old Qin people and the Prairies people had a blood feud.
Several generations of kings had fallen on the battlefield against the grassland people.
The military aristocratic family, the Meng family, had countless martyrs who had died in the war against the Prairie people.
Meng Tian had long wanted to send troops to Hetao and Yinshan to have a showdown with those Xiongnu bastards!
Unfortunately, the conditions had not been right before.
And now…
With this topographic map.
He would know the terrain around the battlefield like the back of his hand.
This was simply a magic weapon to win the war of this era.
Meng Tian was so excited that her entire body started trembling.
He clenched his fists tightly.
Excitement was written all over his face.
How was this a topographic map?
It was simply a treasured mirror of mountains and rivers!
Meng Tian looked at Fu Su like a god.
Other than immortals and gods, who else could do this?
Even the legendary Mountain and River State Painting might not be so detailed, right?
This was truly a blessing from the heavens for Great Qin.
