Chapter 215: The Aspects of the People 2
Ye Ke was shocked to see that Li Shiqi was not afraid under his threat. Instead, he laughed loudly and talked eloquently. He actually forgot to react appropriately to his rudeness. In fact, this was also the relationship between the Central Plains and the Central Plains.
The difference between people on the grassland is that people on the grassland only dare to fight against others after they have considerable strength. However, there are some people in the Central Plains who are able to fight without hesitation even when facing people who are a hundred times stronger than themselves.
He could speak freely and make the other party listen to his opinions and suggestions. Ye Ke had never encountered such a situation, so for a while he had been given the upper hand by Li Shiqi.
Seeing that Ye Ke was stunned by his cousin Xina, Li Shiqi knew that he could not relax at this time and continued: "But if the leader does this, not only will Na Maodun know
The weakness in your heart will also arouse my Great Qin's hatred towards you. When the time comes, the real enemy of my Great Qin's hundreds of thousands of troops will become your Dadu tribe, instead of Maodun and the others. So before killing me, Chief
You should first think about how to make Mao Dun fully accept you. Maybe as long as you are willing to hand over all your troops to Mao Dun, he will consider letting you be protected by him."
To be honest, at the beginning, Ye Ke did have the idea of killing Zhongyuan to get rid of him, but the other party expressed his thoughts as soon as they met, which made him lose his mind for a while. Then he heard that Li Shi
When he talked about some unfavorable results after killing him, the murderous intention in his heart became much weaker. However, as the leader, he must not be weaker than the opponent in terms of momentum, so after being stunned for a long time, he said: "I, Ye Ke, as the leader of the Dadu Department,
Everyone in our tribe knows whether the leader is a weak person. You don’t need to worry about it as a Central Plains person, but today I must know why you think I will cooperate with you? Otherwise, I would rather fight you as an individual.
Kill you."
When Li Shiqi heard what he said, he already knew that the opponent was starting to retreat, and he should also change his strategy. After all, more than a hundred of them were now under the opponent's sword. If Ye Ke was really annoyed,
They would all die here. So Li Shengqi no longer spoke to Ye Ke in such aggressive words, but changed to a more serious tone: "The leader's current situation is the biggest reason for you and me to cooperate." Looking at Ye Ke,
Without making any expression, Li Shiqi continued, "Although Mao Dun has lost the hearts of some tribes because of the last incident, his remedy was very timely. Now there are those two people who escaped from the Central Plains.
Helping him gave him a resourcefulness that you Huns don't have. This made more small tribes lean toward him, and the leader's power became even weaker. Am I right about this?"
Ye Ke didn't expect that the other party actually knew the situation on the grassland very well, and he was even more surprised. But now was not the time for him to worry about this, because Li Shiqi's words just hit his heart. So Ye Ke couldn't help but nodded and said
: "You are right. Now Modu has gained more than 70% of the tribe's hearts. In a few days, his power will be far greater than mine."
Li Shiqi saw that Ye Ke had followed his words and knew that his plan was about to succeed. However, there was no wave on his face and he still said: "In this way, the status of the leader will be
I can't keep it. I don't think the leader wants to lose everything he has now. If once the Dadu tribe is really annexed by Namotun, the best outcome for the leader is to be put under house arrest for life, and he will never be able to show off his talents on this grassland again.
You will even be killed by him under various excuses. I think the leader doesn’t want to end up like this, right?”
Ye Ke actually thought that he might be like this, but the words coming from this Central Plains man made him feel more impactful, so after being stunned for a while, he couldn't help but nodded. A man who originally had extremely high power
This person made him lose everything all at once, which no one could bear.
Li Shiqi struck while the iron was hot and continued: "But if Na Maodun is allowed to develop like this, I'm afraid that the leader's power will be completely unable to compete with him. By then, even if the leader doesn't want to, he will have to do this. So I have a
My suggestion is that your Dadu Department cooperates with me, Great Qin, to deal with Na Maodun together."
Ye Ke was about to agree, but then he thought of something again and asked: "After listening to you for a long time, I realized that the cooperation you mentioned was only beneficial to our Dadu Department, and your Daqin was just helping us.
That's all, this makes me unable to believe it. You should also tell me the benefits that you Central Plains people can get, otherwise I don't want to cooperate with you in a muddle-headed way."
There was a strange color in Li Shiqi's eyes. He didn't expect that this man who looked very strong could actually have a delicate side. But fortunately, he was already prepared and said without thinking: "Actually, I, the Great Qin of the Central Plains, will help you with the Dadu Department.
It’s for ourselves. This Maodun is really too bellicose. He dared to do so even before his internal unity was completely unified.
He sent troops to the edge of the grassland to try to fight with me, the Qin Dynasty. If he really allowed him to dominate the grassland, wouldn't we Central Plains people be devastated by the war? Of course, once the war breaks out, you Huns will not have an easy life either. So my family
The emperor sent me here to discuss the alliance with the leader. I wonder if the leader is satisfied with my explanation?"
After hearing these words, Ye Ke's expression relaxed for the most part. He already somewhat agreed with Li Shiqi's explanation. So he expressed the last doubt in his heart: "I have one last question, if you
If you can satisfy me, I will consider reaching an agreement with your emperor and join forces to deal with Mao Dun."
"It doesn't matter, chief. My emperor has given me a lot of power. If I can't agree to your request, then I can send someone back to the Central Plains to report to the emperor." Li Shiqi said while making a request.
gesture.
"If we join hands to really get rid of Na Mao Dun, what should we do with the tribes and the population on this grassland? And can you guarantee that after killing Mao Dun, your troops in the Central Plains will not take the opportunity to harm our Xiongnu tribes?
"After Ye Ke asked this question, his eyes
He stared at Li Shiqi unblinkingly, waiting for his answer. These two questions were the most critical. If one of them could not satisfy him, he would not cooperate with Qin. After all, he did not want to get rid of one of them.
After the powerful enemy, an even more powerful enemy pops up.
Li Shiqi smiled and said: "Chief, you can rest assured that we, the Central Plains people, will not covet the tribes and populations on the grassland. Don't forget that when I, the First Emperor, ordered General Meng Tian to lead an army of 300,000 to attack the Huns.
I just want to drive you further away, and I don’t really want to kill you completely. The emperor who is currently in power is a kind man, and he will not use weapons at will."
Ye Ke made sense when he thought about it. Although he did not participate in the war that year, he knew from the mouths of the old people who were still alive that Qin's military strength at that time was strong enough to annihilate the Huns, but in the end they still did not annihilate their own people.
Killed them all. From this fact, he can be sure
This man was telling the truth. The people of the Central Plains would not just start a war with the people on the grassland. But the other party thought of him that way, but he didn't think so. At this time, he had already decided that if he really became the lord of the grassland, he would
At that time, it seemed that he would lead the troops to invade the Central Plains.
As if he had read through Ye Ke's mind, Li Shiqi continued: "Once that Maodun is eliminated, you Xiongnu no longer need to attack our Central Plains. We can both fight on the edge of the grassland and in our border counties.
Open a few trading places to exchange what you need. Silks, ceramics and other items from the Central Plains can be traded to you there, and your furs, cattle and sheep can also be traded to us. We can each get what we need, so there is no need to worry about anything.
We have weapons. Chief, what do you think of my proposal?" In fact, no matter how resourceful Li Shiqi was, he would not have been able to come up with this idea of opening up a forum. This was something that Fusu suddenly thought of during the month of preparation.
This method was also the most common method used by later dynasties such as the Tang, Ming, Song and other dynasties to exchange their needs with ethnic minorities.
When Ye Ke heard this suggestion, his face showed joy. As a leader of a tribe, he certainly knew the benefits of this proposal, so he nodded repeatedly and said: "This is indeed a good idea. I promise you."
"I wonder if the leader promises us to fight together against Na Maodun, or promises to open up business with our people from the Central Plains after the incident is completed?" Li Shiqi asked with a smile.
Ye Ke was in a good mood, and he didn't blame Li Shiqi for teasing him. He laughed and said, "I agree. But there is one thing you haven't mentioned, envoy, and that is how we should jointly deal with that Mao Dun."
Hearing Ye Ke's first words, Li Shiqi's heart completely returned to his heart. He knew that most of his mission had been completed. "Chief, don't worry, although I, Da Qin, are separated from your Dadu tribe.
It’s difficult to contact you thousands of miles away, but haven’t I already arrived in front of the leader? As long as the leader can contact more tribes who are close to you and have some conflicts and differences with Maodun on the grassland, our army in the Central Plains can take the opportunity to also attack Maodun.
If we send out troops, I think Namaodun will be at a loss when attacked from both sides. Moreover, the leader can also spread the news I spread among the Dadu tribe among some tribes who are still waiting to see, and then it may still be possible.
It has increased a lot of strength." Li Shiqi said.
Ye Ke thought it right, so he laughed heartily and said: "Messenger, you really have a good plan. In this way, the time for me to replace Mao Dun is not far away. When the time comes, I will definitely thank you heavily.
Chapter completed!
