“See Shanyu!”

The Xiongnu royal court, the Shanyu king's tent.

The Donghu messenger was arrogant and rude, and just held his fists perfunctorily at Maodun.

In the king's tent, Maodun's ministers all looked angry at the Donghu envoy, but they only stopped there.

Because, the Xiongnu Chanyu, Maodun, on the throne, was not dissatisfied with the Donghu envoy who dared to offend him, and even had a smile on his face.

"My king asked me to tell Shanyu that he liked the thousand-mile horse that the Huns paid tribute last time."

The Donghu envoy used the word "tribute" and in his words he regarded the Huns as a subordinate of the Donghu.

Mao Dun waved his hand and said carelessly: "A small matter, just be happy with the King of Donghu!"

"Thank you, Shanyu!" Donghu's envoy's face was full of smiles, but he thought to himself, could this Shanyu be beaten by Emperor Qin and lost his ambition. That thousand-mile horse is the national treasure of the Huns!

He then tentatively said, "My king wants to ask for something from the Shanyu this time."

"The Donghu and the Huns have always had good friends. I will do my best to do my best to the Donghu King."

"My king wants a concubine from Shanyu."

“Bold!”

The Grand Commander Duoyan Boba stood up and angrily shouted: "Don't bully people too much, do you really think that I am a Hun!"

Duoyanboba's loud shout was like a spark that ignited a powder barrel. For a moment, all the ministers of the big and small courts in the Shanyu royal court were exploded.

The custom of the Huns was that father, concubine and son inherited, brother and wife inherited. Women without serious status can be traded and inherited like goods.

However, although a concubine is not a big deal, Donghu is undoubtedly fighting Shanyu's face when he does this!

Naked provocation and insults! How can this prevent the people who work in the tent from being angry and resentful?

Who knew that the envoy of Donghu was not afraid at all, but there was a threat in his words, saying, "The Emperor Qin launched an army, and even the Huns were more than a thousand miles away. I still wanted to make friends with my Donghu. I, Wang Guanxian, would I still be afraid?"

"Haha! What the envoy said is just a concubine. If the King of Donghu wants it, I will naturally not be stingy." Maodun stretched out his hand and stopped the unhappy court minister, and then asked, "I don't know which concubine I am who the King of Donghu wants."

"Owl!"

"she?"

"What? Is the Shanyu unwilling?" The Donghu envoy looked at Maodun's hesitant look, thinking that Maodun was reluctant to let go because of the beauty of Hu Ji.

Hu Ji was so beautiful that she was famous in the grassland. Even the King of Donghu, who was thousands of miles away, had also heard of it. Therefore, while the Huns were in trouble, the King of Donghu wanted to send an envoy to ask for it.

"If it is convenient for the noble envoy, I will let Hu Ji prepare and follow the envoy back to Donghu."

"So, thank you!"

After the Donghu envoy finished speaking, he left Maodun's tent without looking back.

"Okay, the Donghu envoy has finished seeing you, you can retreat!" Maodun waved his hand and signaled his court minister to retreat.

Although they were unwilling to accept it, the court officials still followed the orders, and only the wolf girl Nomin and Kleon remained in the tent.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Maodun finally couldn't stand the smile and expressed it.

Nomin and Klyon looked at Maodun and asked in confusion: "Shanyu, what's so funny?"

This is obviously a very shameless thing, why can Shanyu laugh?

Maodun sat on the throne and said with a serious expression: "In the current situation, the Xiongnu and the East and West will stand together. If I, the Xiongnu, will the Donghu and the Donghu, then the Donghu will join the Xiongnu. I was still thinking that there would be no suspicion in the Donghu royal court. In the future, I would have to take some detours to attack Donghu in the future. Who knew that the Donghu King actually wanted to ask me for Hu Ji. It was really God who helped me."

"Shanyu, Hu Ji, a woman, is very cunning and has many connections with the Qin people. Will she help us so easily?" the wolf girl Nuomin questioned.

"Don't worry, whether it is Hu Ji or the person behind her, they understand who our real enemy is?" Mao Dun's eyes surged, and he remembered the person who brought great shame to the Huns. "Donghu is not worth fearing, and the tens of thousands of warriors of the Donghu King will be mine sooner or later. Emperor Qin is our real enemy!"

Maodun said this, stood up, looked at Kryon, and said, "There is one thing that I want to tell you about Kryon."

"Shanyu?" Kryon was a little surprised by Maodun's attitude. Maodun, who had always been cheerful, seemed a little difficult to speak for now. What exactly did he want to say?

"That's right. I just received information from the spy. Your hometown has been occupied by the Yuezhi people. The Yuezhi people established the Kushan Empire there."

Like a bolt from the blue, Kryon was stunned.

Maodun patted Clyon's shoulders who were in sorrow, hoping that he could relax a little.

"I plan to join forces with the Yuezhi people to deal with Qin."

Looking at Maodun's slightly apologetic face, Kleon smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine."

"Shanyu, why do we do this?" At this time, the wolf girl Nuomin was a little confused and was defending the rebellion for Kryon. "The Yuezhi is far away from the Western Regions, and even the alliance cannot echo each other. What's the point of such an alliance? What's more, now, the Qin State is divided between the east and west, and the Qin Emperor wants to regain the lost land, but he doesn't know when it will be. We have more opportunities!"

"No! Our chances are gone." Maodun said calmly: "The vast Western Regions are now under the strict control of Qin, and they can provide Qin with a large amount of supplies and taxes every year. Once the Qin Emperor quells the rebellion in the east, he will have enough strength to deal with us! The Great Wall of thousands of miles will be the best defense line for Qin to block us. The Qin Emperor even sent enough infantry at various passes of the Great Wall to easily prevent us from moving south smoothly. Yuezhi and Qin have deep hatred. The current Kushan Queen is the Yuezhi Princess of the past. With their restraint in the Western Regions, our offensive to retake the grassland will be smoother."

"I understand, Shanyu." Kryon nodded and said, "I am a warrior and will not destroy the Lord's plan because of my own personal emotions."

"Feel sorry!"

...

Qin Palace.

When Ying Ziyi received information from the grassland, he looked depressed.

The King of Donghu asked Maodun for a thousand-mile horse for the first time, and the second time he asked for a concubine. So did he ask for land for the third time?

Ying Ziyi touched his head and expressed helplessness! This familiar style of painting seems to be in a few years before the Donghu will be annexed by the Huns.

Because the Donghu and the Xiongnu were restrained, the pressure on the Northern Great Wall was not great. But if the Xiongnu annexed Donghu, the pressure on the northern border would inevitably increase sharply. Especially in Jiuyuan, the Xiongnu would not give up that large area of ​​excellent pasture.

There will be a battle between the Empire and the Huns in the future. "Your Majesty! The Inner Shi Mengyi wants to meet Your Majesty."

"pass!"

Meng Yi walked into the palace from outside and bowed and said, "I will meet your Majesty!"

"No need to be polite. The matter of Meng Qing coming here has been dealt with?" Ying Ziyi asked in a correct sitting position, looking at Meng Yi.

"Yes, the 700,000 prisoners in Xianyang have been allocated to resettle each county. Most of the garrisons in the border counties have also been nearby to cultivate land. This is the number of grain storage consumed by warehouses such as Xianyang Cang and Ao Cang."

The eunuch took the silk book from Meng Yi and handed it to Ying Ziyi's desk.

Ying Ziyi took a rough look and consumed about three million stones of food to resettle refugees, garrison soldiers, and prisoners. However, this was just an early investment.

"Your Majesty, there is one thing that I am worried about." Meng Yi said with a hand.

"What?"

"At this moment, several counties east of the empire were occupied by rebellion, and the supply of the empire's more than 200,000 troops in Baiyue was cut off by half. After a long time, I'm afraid that people's hearts will be unstable."

"What does Meng Qing mean?"

"As far as I know, the pseudo-emperor issued an edict to the kings of the kings in Baiyue to win people's hearts. Not only that, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo were listed. Ren Xiao was the King of Nanyue and Zhao Tuo was the Marquis of Longchuan. Although the two had not received the acceptance, Your Majesty should also appease him."

Ying Ziyi nodded and said, "By the way, Zhao Xinke is with you?"

"Yes, your majesty!"

"Let him go south to the army with Wang Li this time, and divide 20,000 troops into Xiangcheng, and order him to supervise warships of all sizes."

...

"General Long Qie, our scout reported that Qin general Han Xin was coming, leading 10,000 cavalrymen. In less than half a day, I am afraid that I will contact our soldiers on the outside."

"Good come!" Long Qi laughed.

Long Qi led the elite Chu army here to stop the Qin soldiers from Wuguan.

Long Qi divided his troops into formation, stood on the top of the mountain, and asked, "Who is this Han Xin?"

The deputy general next to Long Qi said, "I have never heard of his reputation. However, when Emperor Qin pacified Baiyue, it was said that a child led a 5,000 army to destroy the 60,000 troops of Nanyue. It was Han Xin. However, all the military officials under Emperor Qin were already famous generals who were influential in the world. Han Xin has been with Emperor Qin for many years, but he has not had much reputation, but this is mostly just a rumor."

Long Qi shook his head and said, "But if this is true, Han Xin's talent is not as talented as Sun Wu."

"The general doesn't need to bother you too much. The Qin army is all cavalry here. We are on guard. They will definitely not be able to escape. At this moment, the Marquis is attacking Wancheng. Once they are captured, Han Xin is not worth worrying."

Long Qi stood at a high place, looking at the elite troops in the array below. These people were all brought out by him, with excellent military armor and well-trained.

In today's era, cavalry is only auxiliary troops, and chariots are the kingly way. This is the consensus of all military strategists.

Long Qi held his hands tightly. In recent days, their Chu army invaded Nanyang and successively set off several cities, making them famous. As long as they blocked this Qin army, Nanyang would be the Chu State.

"Here you come!"

Long Qi watched on the top of the mountain for a long time, and smoke and dust were rolling in the distance, and a large number of cavalry were rushing towards this side.

However, what surprised Long Qi was that this Qin cavalry was not the previous crossbow cavalry, and the vanguard of the vanguard carried a long spear and a sabre that fought in close combat.

Han Xin led his army in the middle and looked at the formation set up by the other party. The chief general of the Chu army accumulated heavy troops on high places, and there were cavalry and archers on both wings, layer by layer. He chuckled and said, "Crane Wing Formation!"

Han Xin thought to himself that this general Chu seemed to be very confident in him!

The crane wing formation is a formation that is both offensive and defensive. As the name suggests, the formation is unfolded, and the sides of the army are like the two wings of a crane. It can be scattered and encircled left and right, and when combined, it can be attacked by the enemy.

Although the crane wing formation is very simple, basically all military strategists can use it if they have read military books. However, whether they can be used well is to distinguish the division line between ordinary generals and famous generals.

"Split!"

Even during high-speed movement, Han Xin's military orders were still conveyed very accurately.
To be continued...
