Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 201 Wolf and Sheep

"General, don't shoot arrows, we're on our own!"

Zhang Er saw from a distance that this army was wearing armor, wearing long swords, holding bows and crossbows, and a "Qin" flag fluttering, so he knew that there were soldiers of the Qin State in the valley.

It's just that the night is hazy and I can't see the general's face clearly.

In order to prevent being investigated by the Xiongnu army, Zhang Er's army changed into the Xiongnu army flag to confuse the opponent.

After stepping out of the Huns' territory, Zhang Er didn't dare to change, for fear that an army would be killed on the way.

Seeing the Qin army wandering in the valley, Zhang Er ordered the troops to replace the Xiongnu king's banner with the Qin envoy's Baiyu banner.

Immediately, Zhang Er ordered the scouts to report to the valley. Li Xin, the general of the valley, repeatedly asked the scouts for answers, and then ordered the troops to put down their bows and crossbows.

Zhang Er breathed a sigh of relief and stepped into the territory of Daqin. This mission was basically completed.

It's just that Chen Yu was arrested by King Youxian, and his life and death were uncertain. When he learned from Li Xin that Chen Yu hadn't come back, there was a tear in the corner of Zhang Er's eye.

Zhang Er led the cavalry to gallop thousands of miles to the majestic Zhangtai Palace.

After stepping into the main hall, Zhang Er bowed down and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, King Yueshi has agreed to join forces with the Great Qin to attack the Xiongnu!"

"The mission has been completed! For your crime and meritorious service, Daqin will absolve you of your guilt, demote you to a commoner, and reward you with ten acres of fertile land. I hope you will keep yourself safe!" Qin Wangzheng opened his mouth slightly with a smile on his face.

Zhang Er bowed his body, kowtowed and said: "I obey the order!"

After a short hesitation, he added: "Your Majesty, when Chen Yu went deep into the territory of the Huns, he was arrested by King You Xian. I am afraid that it will be more dangerous than good. Your Majesty, please forgive his wife and children."

Qin Wangzheng agreed, regarded Chen Yu as a martyr, and rewarded Chen Yu's eldest son with ten acres of fertile land and three good houses. Zhang Er also felt relieved and slowly retreated to the main hall.

Chen Yu, who was thousands of miles away, felt relieved for no reason.

A few days ago, Chen Yu was supposed to leave the territory of the Huns, but was stopped by Maodun again.

This coincides with what Chen Yu thought.

Since you are not allowed to leave, then stay here to drive a wedge between you.

Once King Youxian no longer assists Modu, the number of Huns' troops will drop by one-third.

King Youxian showed a sinister smile and murmured in a low voice: "Chen Yu, you lamb, take it easy!"

But King Youxian didn't know that although he was a wolf biting lambs, Chen Yu was not a lamb, but a steel plate, and sooner or later all the teeth of King Youxian would be smashed out.

Chen Yu has already ordered his subordinates to investigate. King Youxian has always been brave, but his bravery is not the courage of a man, but the courage of a general.

Go into battle and kill enemies with one against ten, even if there is no one in the land, you can also accurately analyze the battlefield situation.

If it is beneficial, it will advance, if it is unfavorable, it will retreat, and it will run away without shame.

King Youxian has always been martial and warlike. He marched westward and drove back the Yuezhi. Many countries were afraid of him and took the initiative to surrender to the Huns.

After invading many territories, King Youxian's territory continued to increase, which made Maodun feel a sense of crisis.

Mao Dun valued him. Without him, he would not be able to frighten the surrounding countries, but he was also afraid of him, so he arranged for a confidant to be King Zuoxian to contain him.

It's just that King Youxian is a general under Touman Chanyu. He has always been disgusted with Mao Dun Mingdi's father-killing behavior, but he took the overall situation into consideration and did not break his face. He was ordered by Mao Dun to guard Western Xinjiang.

King Youxian has always been brave and hates evil. He has always opposed the alliance and advocated using force to solve problems. He only focused on the fat in front of him, but he did not know that fat is not only difficult to chew, but may also be poisonous. In terms of political views, he is different from Mao Dunduo, who has a long-term vision. Discord.

Chen Yu's eyes burst out with murderous intent. He couldn't return from this trip in vain, otherwise he would not be able to atone for his sins. If he separated Mao Dun and King Youxian, his merits would definitely be no less than Zhang Er's.

In an instant, a raging fire rose in Chen Yu's chest.

A few days have passed since the time the two agreed to meet, Zhang Er should have arrived at the Yuezhi Kingdom and started lobbying the Yuezhi King, wishing him all the best.

Since Zhang Er is looking for an alliance from the outside, I might as well break it from the inside, and try to force King Youxian to rebel, and get rid of a strong opponent for Daqin.

Within three years, Da Qin and the Xiongnu will not go to war. Mao Dun is also actively training his troops and will not peek into the Central Plains. This period of time is enough to alienate them.
The cold new wind blows through the solemn and solemn city of Xianyang.

Qin Wangzheng was warming himself in the fire, with a rosy complexion and hot hands, enjoying the heat emitted by the burning coals.

Honeycomb briquettes solve the embarrassment of the people in the severe winter, making all the poor people in the world happy.

Qin Wangzheng thought of the 30 soldiers stationed at the border. Regardless of the severe cold, they still guarded Shangjun and Jiuyuan for the safety of the Great Qin border.

Fortunately, with the cotton clothes of the little children, they can feel a little warmth in the cold wind, and with the briquettes, they will not be frozen to death.

After the boring training, the soldiers can play a game of Piju to warm up their bodies.

However, three to five years later, after the Great Qin and the Yuezhi Kingdom completely defeated the Xiongnu, the soldiers on the frontier would not have to work so hard in winter.

Qin Wangzheng is also waiting for this day to come.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Xiongnu began to invade the Central Plains, and even captured the capital of Zhou, forcing the emperor of Zhou to move his capital.

In the Warring States period, the Xiongnu fought with Qin, Zhao and other northern vassal states all the year round.

Such deep hatred, how can I tolerate you growing up?

While Qin Wangzheng was contemplating, Zhao Gao slowly stepped into the hall, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, help Mr. Su to see you!"

Qin Wangzheng waved his hand slightly, helped Su step into the palace, and saluted: "My son, I pay homage to my father!"

"What's the matter?" Qin Wangzheng glanced at Fusu from the corner of his eye while reviewing the memorial.

Fu Su cupped his hands and said, "Father is old, and my son hopes to share His Majesty's worries and handle government affairs!"

Qin Wangzheng sensed a hint of danger.

Since ancient times, the prince was not allowed to go deep into the court before succeeding to the throne, and he could only simply handle the work arranged by his father, and he could not exceed his authority.

Although Fusu has just been established as the crown prince, the crown prince can establish or abandon his career!
Qin Wangzheng said coldly: "Could it be that you can't wait to succeed to the throne? Do you want to kill your father just like Maodun?"

Seeing the terrifying hostility emanating from Qin Wangzheng, Fu Su's legs softened, and he knelt down on the ground: "My son is just sharing your majesty's worries, and has no wrong intentions. I hope your majesty will not blame you."

An unintentional remark aroused Qin Wangzheng's suspicion, which was naturally not what Fusu wanted to see.

The aged Qin Wangzheng has always been afraid of others peeping at his throne, and has become more and more dependent on power. It is reasonable to be suspicious of Fusu, which is a common problem of the kings of all ages in their twilight years.

Qin Wangzheng hesitated for a moment, the remarks just now were too radical, after slightly relieved, he calmly said: "Since this is the case, you will take care of some of the memorials, don't let me down!"

Fusu nodded, agreed to the matter, and reported another news to Qin Wangzheng: "Father, the right prime minister is seriously ill, and I have entrusted my son to inform him. I hope your majesty will allow him to return to his hometown and spend his old age in peace!"

Qin Wangzheng's face became serious, Feng Qu was critically ill, and the position of Prime Minister You was vacant, and a new prime minister needed to be appointed. If it was not handled properly, a power storm would be staged in the imperial capital of Xianyang.
