Daqin: You have a son to help Su

Chapter 232 Maodun's ambition, the vast and fertile Northeast Plain

Speaking of the Xiongnu's attack again, it is thanks to Xun Yu who placed people between the Huns and Donghu against the two nomadic peoples in the north when he was handling government affairs.

Those people weren't even intelligence agents, they were just smugglers who would smuggle Zhu Xia's items to the north in exchange for livestock or gold.

When Fusu had plenty of points before, he exchanged pigeons, the fastest communication tool in ancient times, and the number of exchanges was quite a lot, and Wangzhi asked someone who was good at raising birds to take care of him.

Now, when conveying news to Wang Meng, Xun Yu and their confidants who are not around, they use carrier pigeons as a means of communication.

And in this era when many people who are good at archery can hunt birds to subsidize their families, Fusu specially created a set of ciphertext that only a few of them can understand.

It is the simplified characters of later generations, and the civil servants under Fusu are the absolute elites of their respective eras. These simplified characters have some similarities with the official script of the Qin Dynasty, and they have learned it very well now.

In fact, the official script had been created one after another as early as the Warring States Period. It was only later that Cheng Miao conducted a relatively comprehensive collection and systematic processing of these existing official scripts at that time, 'removing the impurities and extracting the essence', and further standardized them.

It took less than half a day for the carrier pigeon to fly from Liaodong to Dai County, and it took a little longer to fly to Jiuyuan County, but it did not exceed two days. After receiving the order, Xun Yu activated his long-prepared plan to drive away wolves and tigers.

And sent a letter to Wang Meng through the carrier pigeon, asking Wang Meng to cooperate with him. After all, the Huns in Mobei are still closer to Jiuyuan County.

After receiving the carrier pigeons from his sons Fusu and Xun Yu, Wang Meng asked his subordinates to send the prepared old weapons and armor directly to Mobei through smugglers to trade with the Huns.

Although Mouton also suspected that these smugglers got the weapons and armor from there, but this military supplies, and the most sophisticated weapons of the Qin State, Mouton naturally took as much as he had.

But when Mao Dun changed all these preparations, he found out that something was wrong with the other party, Yu Wubu and even the entire Mobei Xiongnu's morale was improved a lot.

Even Yu Wuwang, who didn't care much, asked Maodun, after purchasing these weapons, the Huns should be able to lead the Donghu people in the east by a lot, and whether they should organize another eastward invasion.

This made Mao Dun very depressed. Slowly, not long after the last battle with the Donghu people, most of the low-level cavalry hadn't stayed at home for a long time. Are they going to fight again now?

It's just that going to war would definitely be a disadvantage in terms of the overall interests of the Huns, but it was not a bad thing for Mouton, he just continued to use war to eliminate dissidents.

What's more, this time Yu Wuwang came to ask when to attack Donghu, and the most dangerous task was to be completed by Yu Wuwang's most trusted leader.

One day, Yu Wu will go up and down, and even most of the Xiongnu in Mobei will only recognize themselves as a ruler.

Under this ambition, Maodun continued to attack the Donghu people in the east with the Huns cavalry in the name of his own Chanyu.

And the smugglers who intentionally or unintentionally provoked this war also left with excitement. After completing this task, if Wangmeng County Supervisor still has such good business in the future, he will definitely ask them to complete it.

Anyone who has been in Jiuyuan County will know that Wang Meng, the supervisor of Jiuyuan County, is not just a county supervisor. The soldiers of Jiuyuan County are more willing to obey the county supervisor than the county supervisor.

Even for the original Huns in Henan, or the herdsmen of Jiuyuan County now, the words of County Supervisor Wang Meng are more effective than the orders of the county guard.

Not to mention that behind Wangmeng County Superintendent are the young master Fusu and Wuchenghou Wangjian, the old general. Either of these two big trees is out of reach of these smugglers.

When these merchants set off before, Wang Jian had already sent the pigeons back. Based on his understanding of the Huns in Mobei, it was almost impossible to fail this time.

Xun Yu can use the son's order to let the county guards of Shanggu County, Yanmen County, and Yunzhong County first command some soldiers and garrison troops in the north to intimidate Donghu.

At this point, the big game planned by Xun Yu, approved by Young Master Fusu, and then assisted by Wang Meng has basically settled down.

But Mao Dun, who was regarded as a pawn, didn't know it at all. He brought the Huns who had been replaced with Qin-made weapons, and felt that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under him had improved, and he was a little happy.

The Donghu people who were flanked on both sides by the Huns and the Qin people in the south were having a hard time, so they quickly sent people to the Donghu tribes in the east to ask for support.

And before the other Donghu tribes came, they had to fight hard against the Huns who had prepared better weapons for a while.

At the same time, Prince Fusu brought the Feixiong Army, the Bloody Army, and the Light Cavalry to the Northeast Plain, where the Donghu people in the east now live.

Looking at the endless plain and the fertile black soil under his feet, he still felt that it was too wasteful to use it for grazing.

Regardless of land fertility and water power, on the same land, farming can produce more food than grazing, and more people can live there.

The black land of the Northeast Plain and the water from Heilongjiang, Songhua River and other rivers, large and small, should have been excellent fertile soil for farming.

It's just that Fusu doesn't have enough time now, so he can only get the home of Donghu in the east first, and then slowly change the production method here.

With the help of high-yielding crops from later generations, the people living here will sooner or later understand that they will get more from farming, and they can go further east or north for grazing.

The appearance of Qin Jun obviously attracted the attention of the Donghu people here, and they hurriedly gathered warriors to confront Qin Jun.

The battle in Liaodong last month caused them heavy losses. Because of the failure and destruction of the Yan Kingdom, the promised rewards were basically not delivered, except for some rewards given in advance.

But the Donghu people had lost all their money, and they saw the Qin army in Liaodong that was completely different from the Yan army.

It's no wonder that the people of Yan state say that the Qin people are like wolves and tigers every day, and that the Qin army is indeed the army of wolves and tigers, especially the elites who are gradually only one-tenth of their number, but dare to charge directly at the cavalry.

There are also the big oars with rhinoceros faces, and many heavy infantry in black and red shirts specially designed for cavalry weapons, which made the Donghu people a little scared.

There was even a eagle shooter in a black and red shirt riding a white horse. He shot three tribal leaders to death with three arrows, and his bravery of being able to repel hundreds of people by himself made them even more impressed.

Therefore, even though the scouting cavalry told the leaders that there were not many Qin troops coming this time, they still cheered up and took all the warriors of the tribe who could mount their horses to go.

These East bearded people must at least have an advantage in numbers!
