my grandfather was qin shi huang

"Father, you are the supreme wolf king of the Xiongnu, an eagle flying high on the grassland, not a beggarly dog! Now that the Qin army has not arrived, and the two armies have not yet clashed, look at these people under your command. What has it become?”

Maodun, who was held down by the guards on both sides, struggled hard and shouted without hesitation.

"Be cowardly before fighting! You still have a little bit of the pride of the wolf princes and grandsons in your hearts, but you still have a little bit of the backbone of the Huns! Bah - a bunch of cowards, cowards!"

Maodun’s shouts were like whips, hitting everyone’s faces hard.

Many people only feel burning pain on their faces.

Touman Chanyu was so angry that his body was trembling with fat, and his old face turned red instantly.

"You traitor, you traitor, my warrior on the grassland, how can I allow you to humiliate you wantonly? Pull me down, give me fifty lashes, and then throw you into prison to let him reflect. Without my permission, no one can Don’t give him food—”

Modun was pulled down, and Touman Shanyu threw away the riding crop in his hand while he was still angry. He was breathing heavily with a dark face, but his eyes swept over everyone in the big tent without leaving a trace. , observing everyone's faces extremely calmly.

"The treacherous son is rude and makes everyone laugh..."

"Khan is serious - the eldest prince is a young man after all, and it is reasonable to be a little impulsive and reckless..."

There was a chaotic response in the big tent.

Forced respect.

Otherwise, what else can we do?

If the eldest prince was held accountable for his rudeness, wouldn't his face become even more unsightly?

After everyone persuaded him for a long time, Touman Shanyu waved his hand reluctantly.

"You don't need to plead with him. If you don't teach him a lesson this time, I'm afraid he will become more and more rude in the future..."

Having said this, he straightened out his fat belly and looked around at the tribal leaders in the king's tent like a hawk.

"Of all of you here, who is not a famous warrior on our grasslands, who is not a good man with a sword licking blood, and who is not a good brother who follows Ben Khan in his expeditions here and there - naturally not You will be afraid of the Qin people!"

this--

Gotta admit it!

But acknowledgment is acknowledgment, and taking the lead is taking the lead. These are completely different things.

We are all old foxes on the grassland. No one would stupidly stand up and act as cannon fodder for others because of these few words from this father and son, and test the edge of the terrible emperor's eldest grandson——

It is said that the leader who can take the head of a general among thousands of armies can directly split a man and a horse in half with a blow of a halberd.

How hard must I have to think about it before I try to challenge this master?

Don't look at how enthusiastic everyone is now to call each other brothers. Once someone kills him, his wife and daughter tribe will be divided up in an instant.

I will take care of your wife and daughter.

Such nonsense is not a joke on the grassland, but a story that happens frequently.

Touman Chanyu took the reactions of these people into his heart, and immediately cursed the old fox in his heart, but his face remained calm, while he continued the singing and dancing that had been temporarily stopped due to Maodun. He held up the wine glass in front of him quite proudly.

"Don't disturb everyone's enjoyment because of that traitor. Come on, everyone, let's continue..."

Although Touman tried his best to liven up the atmosphere and everyone tried their best to cooperate, the atmosphere could no longer go back.

As more and more people fled from Dunpu, Qiemo, Dangtian, Tuge, and even the Hexi Corridor, the terrifying image of the eldest grandson of the Great Qin Emperor has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Can't stop it, can't stop it at all!

Even if you hide behind the army, you can't stop the terrifying footsteps of the eldest grandson of the Great Qin Emperor——

Although the emperor's eldest grandson has not yet come to kill him, the legend of his cruelty and invincibility has begun to spread on the grassland.

Although no one said it or admitted it, everyone including Touman Shanyu, who was bluffing, knew in their hearts that everyone was actually afraid of the eldest grandson of the emperor of Qin.

You are really timid before you fight!

The most terrifying thing is that hundreds of thousands of troops are now surrounded near the royal city. The daily consumption alone is an extremely terrifying figure. The unavoidable problem is that before the two armies fight, there are already some relatively weak tribes that are about to be unable to support them. Went down.

This battle cannot be fought.

Although Mao Dun was taken away, how to face Da Qin was still an unavoidable topic. Therefore, after a few glasses of wine, everyone seemed to have gradually forgotten the embarrassment Mao Dun had just brought to everyone, and old things were brought up again. .

"Khan, I think Da Qin may not have the intention to fight to the death with us..."

Perhaps because of the strength of the wine, a middle-aged man with a stout build and a beard picked up the wine glass and took the opportunity to toast Touman Chanyu with a serious look on his face.

Hearing this, Touman Chanyu raised his eyebrows and said calmly.

"King Youxian, why do you say this..."

"In the past two years, we Xiongnu have suffered from snow disasters year after year. Many small tribes can no longer survive. However, the Qin people may not be any better than us. They have been fighting for years, wiping out the Shandong kingdoms and taking the opportunity to attack Lingnan. , snatched our Loop..."

I don't know when the king's tent gradually became quiet, and everyone secretly pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation between King Youxian and Touman Shanyu.

Touman and King Youxian both seemed unaware.

King Youxian paused before speaking.

"As far as I know, the First Emperor was very happy with his achievements. In the past few years, he not only fought continuously, but also carried out large-scale construction projects. The country was already in a tired situation, and he might not be able to fight such a large-scale war——

Otherwise, Wang Ben’s hundreds of thousands of troops shouldn’t just be dilly-dallying around, but should have come directly to kill them…”

Hearing this, Touman Shanyu couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

"If anything happens, they will kill them regardless..."

Suddenly someone interrupted.

King Youxian smiled faintly.

"So what, even if we can't beat them, can we still not run away? If they really dare to overwhelm us with the whole army, we will flee with our entire family - just the logistics line will be able to drag them down alive. When the time comes, we will When we turn around and come back, the grassland will still be our grassland..."

As soon as this suggestion came out, many people were immediately moved.

At that time, they really didn't want to face the eldest grandson of the Great Qin Emperor who was said to be able to pull a five-stone bow and kill people from more than 200 steps away. He could even rush into the crowd and kill the enemy general.

Only Touman's face turned a little dark.

After running away like this, other tribes will naturally have no problem, they will just lose some face, but what will they do?

Even if the royal city is thrown away, how can we frighten these grassland tribes and become the supreme chanyu in the future?

Seeing that Touman Chanyu's face looked a little ugly, King Youxian put down his wine glass and said with a smile.

"Of course, this situation is unlikely to happen. As I said just now, the Qin people probably just hate us for attacking their grass valleys, and they may not be willing to lose both sides with us..."

Touman nodded slowly.

"What King Youxian means is to seek peace?"

"Peace!"

King Youxian nodded solemnly.

Touman's eyes slowly swept across the people in the tent and said in a deep voice.

"How do you guys feel?"

"Everything must be obeyed by the Khan—"

Everyone in the room responded, and the atmosphere was obviously much more lively than before. Touman Shanyu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes, suppressing the discomfort in his heart, and picked up the wine glass.

"In this case, for the sake of peace on the grassland and the tranquility of the people on the grassland, we will negotiate peace with the Qin people!"

……

Wang Ben was a little confused when he received the Xiongnu's peace request.

After fighting with the Xiongnu and Yuezhi for so many years, when did they ever negotiate for peace?

Rong Di, who lives on horseback every day, is like the most annoying flies in summer. When they can be beaten, they will infest them. When they cannot be beaten, they will take the opportunity to escape.

As a result, this time——

The Yuezhi was caught in a jar by the emperor's eldest grandson, and the whole clan surrendered. Even the Yuezhi king moved to Xianyang to settle down. However, the Xiongnu side, the war has not even started yet, actually asked for peace——

You deserve the credit!

However, it is good to negotiate peace. Speaking of this, we in Daqin are familiar with each other. In recent years, we have negotiated peace with the six countries of Shandong a lot. This thing is much more comfortable than fighting——

Benefits without cost!

There is no need to fight a battle, and there are still a lot of benefits to be gained.

On the one hand, he sent people to report to Xianyang quickly, and on the other hand, he made everyone stop the expedition completely and wait for the intention of Xianyang City. From Xianyang, news soon came that peace negotiations had been approved, and officials specializing in negotiation were dispatched.

We can negotiate peace, but stick your head out first and let us give you a good chop!

As a result, the Great Qin negotiating team represented by Nei Shiteng and Yu Shixi, and the negotiating team headed by King Youxian of the Xiongnu, started to push each other to the extreme again and again.

The biggest contradiction lies in two points.

The Xiongnu demanded that the Qin army completely withdraw from the grassland and return the invaded camps of Tupu, Qiemo, Dangtian and Tu. The Qin directly demanded that the Xiongnu retreat five hundred miles along the Great Wall and donate ten war horses to Qin every year. Ten thousand horses, several cattle and sheep.

As for returning the populations and captives that were plundered from each other, it is a trivial matter in comparison.

Although it was difficult for both parties to reach an agreement, everyone tacitly maintained restraint.

Moreover, the armies of Shangjun and Jiuyuan also began to slowly retreat. Even if they were not far from the border, staying on the grassland for a long time would be a big pressure in the later stage.

The King's City of the Huns and some small tribes also began to gradually return.

There is not much tense atmosphere anymore.

……

Hexi Corridor.

Zhao Ying, who was busy handling Hexi affairs, suddenly felt something in his heart after hearing the news. He picked up his brush and wrote a letter to his father-in-law Wang Bi, who was one of the core members of Da Qin's negotiation team.

Smilingly handed it to Chen Ping who was standing by.

"Have someone send it over quickly..."

Chen Ping hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhao Ying, the emperor's eldest grandson, who had a strange smile with some confusion.

"My lord, is there something special about the Hun prince named Mo Dun that you mentioned? He is actually worthy of you writing a letter in person, specifically appointing him to be a hostage in our Great Qin..."

Zhao Ying waved his hand cheerfully.

"It's nothing, I just think it's interesting and want to do a little experiment - just ask someone to send it to you. Maybe you will receive some interesting news after a while..."

Chen Ping: ...

With this somewhat strange letter in hand, Chen Ping turned around and went down to make arrangements.

In fact, when the two countries negotiate a peace, it is a routine operation for the weak side to send protons to the dominant side. However, it is generally rare to specify which prince must be selected.

Therefore, it seems that Zhao Ying's behavior is somewhat strange.

However, it's not a big deal.

Since the lord doesn't say anything, just wait.

Not long after Chen Ping left, Zhang Liang walked in quickly from the outside with a stack of documents and his head lowered.

"Lord, the leaders and direct bloodlines of these four tribes, Xiumi, Shuangmi, Pangdun, and Kuishang, have been arranged and ready to move to Guanzhong and Shandong at any time..."

Zhao Ying nodded.

"Then let them leave today -"

This is a very important part of Zhao Ying's governance of Hexi, that is, migration.

Needless to say, the Yuezhi royal family will follow the Yuezhi king to Xianyang to enjoy the blessings and recruit people for the first emperor who likes to collect stamps. The tribe will also be divided into six.

Sanfen went to fill Shangjun Jiuyuan and Hedong, while Sanfen continued to stay in Hexi.

As the son-in-law of the Yuezhi royal family, he had to leave some of his "own people" as helpers. However, these helpers were no longer a tribe like before, but were divided into three.

He chose three young men with relatively distant bloodlines to serve as the leaders of these three tribes.

Only in this way can they stand firmly on their side, because without the support of themselves and Yue Ji, with their qualifications, they are simply not qualified to control these tribes that originally belonged to the direct line of the royal family.

As for the four most powerful tribes among the Yueshi, Xiumi, Shuangmi, Pangdun, and Kuishang, they were also disintegrated by Zhao Ying using the same method.

Some of their tribesmen, especially the original tribal leaders, will also be forcibly moved to other parts of Daqin to settle.

However, the only difference is that the leaders of these four tribes do not need to go to Xianyang.

But their children will all enter the personal camp of His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson and serve as bodyguards.

As for their original tribe, Zhao Ying did not directly intervene, but he proposed a policy that their children could not refuse!

Tweet order!

Without Zhao Ying's intervention, the remaining children of tribal leaders automatically divided their tribes into several small tribes.

There was no need to specially select those with estranged bloodlines, just distribute it to the children they left behind in an open and fair manner. This was also the reason why the original resistance among the leaders of the four tribes was not so strong.

The tribe is still your tribe, it’s just distributed to your children!

This is the order of grace that has begun to be implemented in full swing in Daqin!

Although they know that it is easy to separate, but it is difficult to reunite again, this is the best result they can strive for.

Just like those powerful landlords and nobles of the Six Nations, in fact, once they complete their internal division, the danger is almost negligible.
