And without the deal with Qiu Ping, Turba would have no credit for being popular in front of Touman.

Therefore, Turba would stand firmly on Qiu Ping's side and speak for him, even if it was purely for the sake of his own status.

"Da Shanyu, Mr. Qiu can't be offended. Besides, you have seen the power of Daqin's weapons with your own eyes. If you return these weapons, are you really willing?"

"Besides, Mr. Qiu is counting on these grains to help him make money. If we offend him, who will dare to do things for us in the future? Where did we get this kind of weapons and equipment?"

"The lack of food is only temporary, but these weapons and equipment are what our Huns rely on to dominate the northern grasslands!"

……

Hearing Turba's words, Touman indeed nodded.

"Yes, Turba is right. Mr. Qiu, we can't move for the time being, and these weapons and equipment are more important to us. You should find another way."

Touman has already said it so clearly, others dare to say anything, they can only agree.

"Da Chanyu, please forgive me for your incompetence. At present, we can't think of any other way than this."

In the end, many ministers glanced at each other, and still bowed their heads helplessly.

"A bunch of trash!"

Seeing these people bowing their heads and not saying a word, Touman became even more angry and reprimanded them sharply.

"Shan Yu, don't get angry, I have a suggestion."

At this time, Turba smiled and walked out again.

"Oh? You have a solution? Tell me!"

Touman originally liked Turba very much because of the previous incident, but now seeing him take the initiative to stand up to help the Huns, he even said in his heart that this is their great minister of the Huns.

"Chan Yu, although we don't have food now, we have weapons. What's more, when we Huns didn't grow food, didn't we still have a way to solve the problem?"

"Like what the adults said, although it can temporarily solve our problem, but to buy so much food, let alone whether it can be bought, even if it is bought, how much will it cost?"

"Now that our Huns have strong soldiers and powerful weapons, why don't we just go south or north, just to test how powerful these soldiers are!"

……

"Okay, good way!"

Hearing Turba's words, Touman narrowed his happy eyes.

That's right, the Xiongnu are nomadic people, farming and so on, it was purely because they were scared by Daqin before, they had no choice but to choose the means.

But now, after so many years of recuperation, the Huns are no longer what they used to be, and they have so many sharp weapons, which make up for the gap in weapons and equipment between them and Daqin.

Is it a problem for them to have no food?The big deal is to go south to plunder again, anyway, this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing.

Moreover, going south to plunder can not only obtain food and materials, but also plunder a large number of slaves and treasures. This is simply a good way to kill multiple birds with one stone.

"In that case, then pass on my order and immediately summon me, the brave warrior of the Xiongnu, to prepare to go south!"

"Follow Shan Yu's order!"

Touman's order was issued, and the entire Huns temporarily gave up dealing with the locust plague.

Anyway, they have now decided to go south to plunder, whoever wants to collect the grain in the field, they will go directly to grab the ready-made grain in Daqin.

"I don't know if Daqin will be taken aback when he sees our current weapons and equipment?"

"Hahaha, this time I must do a good job of killing, and grab some more Daqin's two-legged sheep and bring them back as slaves!"

"Hehe, the Daqin woman my father captured before was called the best. It's a pity that her health is too bad. I played with it for a few days and died. Now I can finally catch a new one."

……

The entire Xiongnu was full of militant and excited atmosphere, as if in their eyes, Daqin was already in their pocket.

Maybe this is the illusion brought to them by having powerful new weapons.

……

At the same time, on the other side of Daqin Shangjun, there was a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

Just yesterday, Zhao Che, Meng Tian and other appointed generals arrived in Shangjun.

Accompanying them were more than 20 elite Qin forces from the Lantian camp. At the same time, Li Xin from Longxi County was also ordered to bring [-] troops with him and was on his way to Shangjun.

In order to completely eliminate the scourge of the Huns, Ying Zheng almost emptied his family.

Several national treasuries that had been piled up like mountains had turned into empty ones this time. The Daqin just had a team of transporting food, which was as high as nearly 10 people.

Tens of thousands of horse-drawn carriages transported grain continuously from various grain depots in Daqin to Shangjun day and night.

Yingzheng made such a big commotion not just for a mere Hun.

To deal with the Xiongnu, in fact, the 30 army in Shangjun is enough to inflict heavy losses on them.

However, Yingzheng also dispatched 20 elite troops from Lantian Camp, plus 60 troops from Longxi County, making the total [-] troops.

It is enough to dispatch so many troops at one time to sweep the entire northern grassland, let alone deal with a small Xiongnu.

And the reason why Yingzheng risked the defense of the mainland and Longxi to mobilize so many troops was really to sweep the entire northern grassland.

The army in Longxi County was mobilized completely in secret, and no information has been disclosed for the time being.

Moreover, when dealing with the Huns, the 20 troops will not go out, but continue to hide.

Now, the two most powerful overlords in the northern grasslands are the Xiongnu and the Donghu.

The Da Yuezhi, who had been able to occupy a place in the northern grasslands, had been driven to the west by the Huns.

Therefore, after Yingzheng and the others dealt with the Xiongnu, a large area of ​​territory would be vacated in the northern grasslands.

Regardless of the fact that Donghu and Daqin are still allies for the time being, in fact they still have their own ghosts and use each other.

The prerequisite for them to be united is that they have a common enemy, that is, the Huns.

However, when the Huns were resolved, there was no need for the two sides to continue to unite.

If Daqin did not occupy the large territory vacated by the Xiongnu, Donghu would definitely be taken advantage of.

At that time, Donghu will fully accept the inheritance left by the Huns, and will definitely develop into a new generation of overlords in the northern grasslands in the future, even far more threatening than the Huns before.

Yingzheng would never allow a rising prairie overlord to appear. He eliminated the Huns in order to make the northern prairie peaceful and stable from now on.

If this causes Donghu to take advantage of the situation, it will become an enemy.

King Donghu probably has his own plans, really think that relying on the benefits that Daqin gave to Donghu, they can do their best for Daqin?

Those who are not of my race must have a different heart, this sentence is not just empty talk.

King Donghu has also developed rapidly in recent years, and his strength can be said to have steadily suppressed the Xiongnu.

However, no matter how much Donghu King wants to expand, he will not easily go to war with the Huns, because he is not absolutely sure.

As the common old rival of Daqin and Donghu, the Xiongnu have fought against each other so many times over the years.

Except for Daqin, no one has the confidence to completely eliminate the other party easily.

Even if it was replaced by the previous Great Qin, it might be easy to injure the Xiongnu, but it is still impossible to completely wipe them out.

Moreover, to achieve this, the price that Daqin needs to pay is not small, the most important thing is that it is not worth it.

Not to mention Donghu, if they really fought to the death with the Xiongnu, Daqin would definitely take the opportunity to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
