Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

Even, King Donghu also said that Daqin had already sent people to unite Donghu with them before, and wanted to take the opportunity to completely wipe out the Xiongnu.

"Da Chanyu, no, there is something wrong with this letter!"

Turba suddenly saw a flaw in the letter, and quickly cried out.

"Da Shanyu, King Donghu said that Daqin promised him that as long as we wiped out the Xiongnu, they would give half of our territory to King Donghu. How could King Donghu come to join us regardless of the immediate benefits?"

Turba thought he had found a loophole, but saw Touman showing a very contemptuous look after listening to his words.

"Idiot, the enmity between us and Daqin is as deep as sea. Don't you think Donghu and Daqin can coexist peacefully? The reason why Daqin doesn't dare to do anything to us now is because he is worried that we will join forces with Donghu."

"If Daqin is not completely sure, he will never dare to invade the northern grassland easily, because they won't do any good at all. We are just changing a pastoral area, and Daqin will not be able to occupy this grassland, and we will have to worry about our revenge later. .”

"Besides, if Daqin were to deal with our Xiongnu and Donghu alone, they would definitely have to guard against the other taking the opportunity to attack Daqin's city, so they would not dare to send out all their troops."

"But if anyone between us and Donghu completely disappears, do you think Daqin will allow another threat to exist on the northern grassland? If King Donghu really agrees, it means that he is an absolute idiot , Donghu will face the same fate as us sooner or later."

……

Touman really deserves to be the overlord who has been able to run rampant on the northern grasslands for so many years, he can still figure out this.

On the surface, King Donghu agreed to join forces with Daqin, not only for the benefits and threats of Daqin, but most importantly, he had the same goal as Daqin, and he also planned to take the opportunity to target the Xiongnu.

But against the target, King Donghu would definitely not allow the Xiongnu to be completely wiped out by Daqin.

King Donghu's plan was very loud, that is, to take the benefits of Da Qin first, and then turn his back on the water at the critical moment, so that not only can he seduce Da Qin, but he can even get a benefit from it.

To put it bluntly, King Donghu intends to make the snipe and clam fight between Daqin and the Xiongnu, and he is playing the role of the fisherman.

But King Donghu is not a fool, he will not allow the balance between Great Qin Donghu and the Huns to be easily broken, unless he really wants to become the next Huns.

"Pull it off!"

Touman waved his hand, ignored the stupid Turba, but turned to look at the Donghu envoy.

"Tell me, what is Donghu King's condition?"

Touman knows that no one in this world will treat you well for no reason, especially your enemy.

Taking the risk of going to war with Daqin to turn against the water, if King Donghu doesn't want any benefits, Touman doesn't believe it.

"The Great Chanyu is really generous, so let me just say it straight, our king will send 20 troops to fight against the Qin attack together with you. If we win, we will want the area between the Donghu and the Xiongnu."

"What? You are taking advantage of others' danger, Donghu King's appetite is too big!"

Hearing the Donghu envoy's words, the courtiers below immediately cursed.

The hatred between the Donghu and the Xiongnu was mostly due to the competition for territory and fertile pastoral areas.

The area mentioned by the Donghu envoy is not a particularly attractive pastoral area, but it has extremely high strategic significance for the Xiongnu.

It is precisely because of the existence of this buffer area that Donghu and the Huns can live in peace for the time being.

But if this area is ceded to Donghu, then the border of the Xiongnu will be at the door of their house, and Donghu can even send troops to attack the Xiongnu at any time.

If they want to remove this threat, the Xiongnu can only be forced to relinquish part of their territory as a new buffer area.

"Da Chanyu can think about it slowly. Anyway, we still have a lot of time, and that place is a no-man's land. I believe Da Chanyu shouldn't be too distressed."

The Donghu envoy looked at Touman leisurely, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Da Shanyu, you must not agree. If you hand over that part of the territory, the herdsmen on our border may be threatened by Donghu at any time in the future."

"Idiot, compared to these, the threat of Daqin is greater. As long as we can keep our Huns, it is worth sacrificing some territory."

"Emissary of Donghu, your appetite is too big, aren't you afraid that we and Donghu Yu will fall apart?"

……

The tribal leaders of the Xiongnu and the courtiers of the royal court were arguing, and now everyone is waiting for Touman to make a decision.

"Okay, I promise you, but I want you to exchange food!"

After careful consideration, Touman finally accepted the decision helplessly.

But he also put forward his own conditions, that is, to exchange food for territory.

As the minister said below, the territory is gone, they can expand it in the future, or even wait until the strength is strong, and then take it back from Donghu.

But if he was killed by Daqin's army this time, the entire Xiongnu would disappear from now on, and Touman could still tell which was more important.

However, Touman will not cede so much land for nothing. This time, he fell into the trap of Daqin, which means that it is impossible for them to go south to plunder.

However, the Xiongnu's food production has decreased, and they have no food in their hands. This winter is the big problem facing them.

Therefore, Touman can only use this as a threat to ask King Donghu to help him solve the food problem.

Touman was not worried that Donghu King would not agree. Anyway, if there was no food, the Xiongnu would definitely suffer heavy losses this winter. Even if they would not completely destroy the country, they would definitely lose their strength.

Rather than being starved to death like this, it would be better to fight Daqin directly, and drag Donghu into the water.

The envoy of Donghu heard Touman's words, with a somewhat tangled expression on his face.

Touman was not in a hurry, and just quietly watched the envoy of Donghu perform here.

Sure enough, not long after, the envoy of Donghu pretended to be embarrassed and agreed.

"Since Shan Yu is so happy, then our Donghu naturally cannot live up to Shan Yu's kindness. I will go back and report this matter to my king."

"Then we'll be waiting for King Donghu's army!"

Touman's face was gloomy.

Since King Donghu knew Daqin's plan to deal with them, King Donghu must also be well aware of the food shortage of the Xiongnu.

It is obvious that King Donghu also knew that it was impossible for the Xiongnu to cede a piece of land so easily.

Therefore, King Donghu must have guessed that Touman would use grain as a condition in exchange for this land.

Therefore, I am afraid that King Donghu guessed Touman's bottom line from the very beginning.

Otherwise, with such a small messenger, how could he make such an important decision?
……

After sending off the envoy of Donghu, Touman looked at the leaders of the various tribes below.

They were pitted by Daqin this time too badly, if it wasn't for King Donghu's sudden betrayal, Touman might still be kept in the dark.
