Great Qin Shi Empress

== Fire attack ==

In the pitch-black night, someone suddenly uttered a dull low hum, followed by a figure sitting up from the bed, panting loudly.His voice was hoarse and his breathing was intermittent, like an old man who was dying, which made people feel uncomfortable.

After a long time, the man got off the bed and left the tent, found a random big rock outside and sat on it.

Looking up at the starry sky, Mao Dun couldn't calm down no matter what.

He always involuntarily recalled that pair of eagle-like sharp, cold, piercing eyes that he saw in his nightmare just now.

With eyes like that, you feel like all your dark thoughts have nowhere to hide.

Mao Dun gritted his teeth, angry at his timidity countless times.

but……

At times like this, he would uncontrollably think of those eyes again, and then be forced to calm down.

Mao Dun couldn't understand why all the Qin people, from Meng Tian and Han Yu, who were extremely talented in military affairs, to the county officials in the city, down to young talents like Han Xin, and ordinary people, all respected that man so much. Could it be that they Don't you feel scared?

During the day, he lied.

Mao Dun is very clear that whether he has learned the art of war is not very important to a general like Meng Tian, ​​because from the attitude of Meng Tian and others, it can be seen that his image in their hearts is still mostly a child.

It's not that Meng Tian will let him go if he thinks he is a child.

But because he is a "child", Meng Tian and others will not think that they have really learned too much art of war, and they will not be too guarded against themselves. Even if they run away, there will not be too many people looking for them.

but……

The man's behavior was unpredictable.

Mao Dun would say those words before, but his real purpose was to let Meng Tian, ​​Han Yu and others relax their vigilance. Only in this way, he could know what the man in Xianyang would do in the first place, and it would be a big deal for him. What an attitude.

This is very important, because it will directly affect the plans after Modu.

Within a few days, Xianyang's order arrived in Jiuyuan County and was delivered to Meng Tian.

Meng Tian directly asked Mao Dun to be called to the military tent.

In front of him, Meng Tian said directly: "Your Majesty asked me to tell you what happened to the Huns. Tou Mandan had a daughter last year. At that time, many people urged him to take you back to the court of the Huns, but the head Mandanyu refused many times, and then became even more angry, cursing the person who made the suggestion. Until this year, Toumanchanyu couldn't resist the joint persuasion of others and had to welcome you back to the royal court."

"So the main reason for the Xiongnu's invasion this time is not to go south to plunder supplies, but to 'invite' you back."

Mao Dun's eyebrows twitched, even though he had already guessed in his heart, now that he heard more details, his heart felt densely packed with pain like a needle prick.

Meng Tian glanced at him: "Your Majesty means that since the Huns are coming, we will naturally send troops to fight, so that they will know that my Qin cavalry is not easy to mess with. But before that, I need to ask your opinion."

After a pause, "Although I have asked you before, I still need to confirm your thoughts again."

Mao Dun twitched the corner of his mouth: "Did King Qin give me a second choice?"

The two armies were at war, and if he, a prince of the Huns, went back at such a time, wouldn't it be two-faced?

Qin Guo will not talk about it. Since he is sure that the Xiongnu went south this time because of him, if he really intends to leave, it would be a good heart for the Qin army not to send troops to ambush him halfway. He thought that King Qin, who was very similar to himself, would be a kind-hearted person.

As for the Huns...

Heh, Mo Dun even suspected that his father was already impatient to kill someone with a knife.

Besides, the ghost knows if there are any confidantes in that group of people who were bought by that woman, and they may lose their lives at that time, and they don't know who did it.

Meng Tian looked at Mao Dun, and sighed slightly: "Then you will stay in your own military tent during this time, and it is best not to go out if you have nothing to do. By the way, in order to prevent accidents, I will send some soldiers to protect you."

After a pause, he looked at Meng Tian seriously: "Is this an order from King Qin?"

Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "No, this is my arrangement."

Mao Dun twitched the corners of his mouth, took his leave and left immediately.

When Han Xin heard the news, he put down his textbook and looked for it: "How is it? But there is news from Xianyang?"

Mao Dun nodded: "I may not be able to play with you for a while."

The two were about the same age, and they spent most of their time in the military camp, so they naturally became playmates.In addition, Meng Tian doesn't seem to prevent Mao Dun from learning the art of war, so the two often study and study the art of war together, and in their spare time, they will find a sand table to line up with each other for practice.

The friendship between the two was also cultivated in this process.

After listening to the ins and outs of the matter, Han Xin nodded without any surprise: "I expected it a long time ago, after all, you are the prince of the Huns."

After a pause, he turned to look at Han Xin.

Han Xin looked at him strangely: "Am I wrong? As the prince of the Huns, you are allowed to learn Qin's art of war, and you can still wander around in Qin's barracks. It is impossible to leave. General Meng is worried about you. Run away, what's wrong with you?"

Mao Dun twitched the corner of his mouth: "I now suspect that King Qin did it on purpose."

After a pause, he added, "You Qin people are too insidious!"

Han Xin was a little speechless: "This only proves that you Huns are stupid. You don't even know how to plot and fight. It's really terrible to directly send troops to kill people."

Mouton: "..."

Unable to refute.

The existence of Maodun is not very important to the current state of Qin, so after sending people to guard it for a short time, Meng Tian immediately rectified his troops and decided to take the initiative to lead troops to attack.

The Xiongnu who camped outside the Great Wall had just arrived at their destination and found that there was not much food and grass left in the army. Therefore, they have not sent troops to attack Jiuyuan County in the past few days. , or first lead troops to the vicinity to grab the people of several villages to fill up the food...

But people who hold two views cannot convince each other, so they can only quarrel with the same issue again and again.

The same is true tonight.

And just when they were arguing most intensely, a torch suddenly lit up around them.

Before the group of Huns realized what had happened, they heard someone blowing a horn not far away. The next moment, they saw countless torches flying towards the direction where they set up their camp along with the words "Kill these bastard Huns". come over.

Only then did the Huns realize that those were not torches at all, but arrows tied with oiled cotton!

It was just a blink of an eye, and the entire Huns' camp became a sea of ​​flames.

Everyone fled in panic, and the entire camp was in chaos. Those whose clothes were accidentally burned even rushed to roll in the grass or sand, hoping to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

Some Huns with strong psychological qualities did not dare to delay. When they found themselves caught in a sea of ​​flames, they immediately grabbed their weapons and rushed out.

Then, the soldiers surrounding the camp instantly drew their swords and hacked people to death——

It's not that the Huns were not skilled enough in martial arts, but that after the fire burned, all the Huns became extremely conspicuous. No matter where they appeared from any corner, they would be spotted immediately.

On the other hand, what about Qin Jun?After the fire burned, they even took a few steps back, all hidden in the darkness.

The Xiongnu soldiers were hard to guard against, so naturally they could only let others slaughter them.

……

The fire burned from late at night to dawn, and it was not completely extinguished until all the tents of the Huns were burned.

After all, it was at night, and it was impossible for the Qin army to stop everyone, and finally let some Hun soldiers escape.

However, these Hun soldiers who jumped were not ignored by Meng Tian and others.

On the contrary, when Mao Dun got up early in the morning, after hearing that most of the Huns outside the Great Wall had died, he was silent for a while.

But when Han Xin asked for leave and came over, Mao Dun looked at the scorched earth outside the Great Wall and said coldly: "Don't worry about me, I won't feel sad for these people, I just think they... died well!"

Han Xin paused and looked at Maodun in astonishment.

==·Crisis·==

This time the Xiongnu were so easily captured by the Qin army because they did not send many soldiers, and as nomads, they were better at fighting guerrilla warfare and cavalry warfare. good at.

But there is no such thing as fairness in fighting a war.

After Meng Tian eliminated this group of Hun soldiers, he did not intend to stop there.

After resting and rectifying for a day, he sent news to Jiuyuan County and Longxi County and other counties adjacent to the territory of the Huns to suspend the local market transactions. After that, he and Han Yu led their teams to chase after the fleeing Hun soldiers.

If someone obstructs you on the way, just kill them without showing any mercy.

Someone heard the news and immediately sent someone to look for it.

At first, Meng Tian thought it was Touman Shanyu's tribe, and he didn't really want to meet people——

Now that he has done something wrong in disregard of Qin's order, he will naturally have to bear the consequences.

Unexpectedly, the person who came was actually a member of another Hun tribe.

Meng Tian suspiciously asked someone to bring him to the front, and this was the other party's intention: "I understand that Touman and others have offended Daqin and made a big mistake. It is normal for Daqin to send troops to chase them."

"I don't mean to beg for mercy. It's just..."

"Daqin shut down the exchange market because of what Touman and others did. Is it a little too involved?"

"Our transactions with the Qin people have always followed the laws and regulations of the Qin State, and we have never violated the law. This time the grassland avalanche, we saved a lot of wool, hoping to exchange some food for the spring, but it was only at the heel of the Great Wall that people Informed that the exchange market has been closed..."

The visitor was able to remain calm at first, but the more he spoke, the more irritable his tone became, and he became even more anxious afterwards, uttering a lot of Hun language, which made people unable to understand the meaning.

Meng Tian looked at the people who came, and after a long silence, he said, "Although I sympathize with you who came all the way to Daqin for trading, you were told that the mutual market has been closed. However, my Daqin law has always been about continuous sitting."

The visitor was anxious: "But we are not from the same tribe, and we even have an enmity with Touman, even if we sit, it won't implicate us?"

Meng Tian pointed out a fact: "For us, all foreigners are the same."

The people who came were almost crying: "Our tribe only had a fight with Touman last year. If they hadn't robbed the cattle and sheep, we wouldn't have come to Qin with a lot of wool in the early spring."

Meng Tian didn't let go: "Who knows if what you said is true or not?"

The visitor turned around twice anxiously, then suddenly paused and looked up at Meng Tian: "If we directly send people to attack the Touman tribe with you, can it prove that what I said is true?"

Meng Tian was stunned, turned to look at him: "Is what you said true?"

The person who came was ruthless: "It was he who was unrighteous in the first place. Even if we unite with you, it is only his own fault."

Paused, "It's just that the Touman tribe is powerful. If we cooperate with you to attack Touman, we may be targeted by the Touman tribe after you withdraw in the future, so...

Meng Tian looked at the other party: "What request do you have, just say it."

The visitor swallowed his saliva, and said seriously: "I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that the tribe can be moved to the vicinity of the Great Wall. Once the Touman tribe sends people to attack our tribe, I ask General Meng to send troops to help immediately."

Meng Tian nodded decisively and agreed: "Don't worry, I will send troops to your tribe to help you relocate when this matter is known!"

The visitor immediately felt relieved.

……

After the people left, Meng Tian immediately sent troops to look for Han Yu.

The two men divided their forces and pursued the remnants of the Huns in two ways. Their original intention was to occupy more territory that originally belonged to the Huns——

It's not that they don't want to attack Touman's King's Court of the Huns directly, but the grassland is too big and it's hard to tell the direction. People like Meng Tian who have never lived in the grassland have no way to find the place where the King's Court of the Huns is located.

The Huns royal court is said to be a royal court, but it does not have a fixed position.

But if you cooperate with other Hun tribes and let them lead the way...

……

Meng Tian didn't know that Han Yu was also experiencing the same thing as him.

It may be because Han Yu grew up at the bottom. In order to maintain the living standards of himself and his son Han Xin, he often dealt with people of all kinds and teachings. His ability to control people's hearts is stronger than Meng Tian.

Almost as soon as Han Yu saw the person seeking to see him, he understood the purpose of the person's visit from the anxiety in his eyebrows.

Compared with Meng Tian's quiet guidance, Han Yu's approach is much simpler——

He directly put all the situation on the bright side, and told the other party that only by cooperating with Qin to attack the Touman tribe can he prove that what he said is true.

After the other party reluctantly agreed, Han Yu directly set his sights on the tribe who had encountered the same situation.

When Meng Tian sent people to look for him, Han Yu had reached cooperation with the three Hun tribes.

Meng Tian: "..."

The power of this action is absolutely amazing!

However, it may be because Han Yu spoke too bluntly and did not give much benefit, so the three tribes were not very willing to cooperate.

But when the people sent by Meng Tian came and told them that they could move to the Great Wall after the matter was completed...

Well, the enthusiasm was mobilized at once.

These people passed the news to the tribe they knew well——

Even though many tribes had no quarrel with Touman, let alone any hatred, Qin's move to directly close the exchange market due to the Xiongnu's move still caused them a lot of losses.

Even the tribes that were not affected much by the avalanche disaster will have a problem with Touman because they failed to buy more things.

It's just that Touman was too strong before, and they didn't dare to wrestle with them.

But now Qin Guo takes the lead, and many tribes unite to attack Touman, they are still afraid of a ghost!

Even if you want to be afraid, you should also be afraid that you will be one step late. At that time, you will not be able to get a grassland closer to Qin, and it will be easier to be retaliated by Touman, and it will be more troublesome to trade with Qin.

So when Meng Tian felt that he couldn't wait any longer, the number of tribes that had reached cooperation with Qin already exceeded two palms.

Just the young and middle-aged men sent by these tribes can make the Touman tribe drink a pot of ruthless.

……

On this day, Touman was teasing his daughter with his own Yan family, at the happiest time, he saw someone rushing into the big tent, and knelt down for him with a thud.

Before Touman could ask, the man panicked and said, "Shanyu, Amu has brought someone back."

Touman didn't realize the seriousness of the matter yet, so he hugged his daughter and said cheerfully: "It's good to say something when you come back, and it's worth your haste to rush in? By the way, where's that kid, Mouton? He didn't even say see you when he came back." see me."

Yanshi rolled her eyes when she heard Maodun's name, and directly snatched her daughter back from Touman's hand.

Touman licked his face and leaned over: "Who made you feel disappointed and failed to give birth to a son? If you want to give birth to a son, I can still bring him back?"

Yan stared at him: "How about I give birth to a daughter? Didn't King Qin agree to let the princess compete for the throne?"

Touman has a big head, so he is worthy to be compared with King Qin Yingzheng?

He was about to speak, but his subordinates couldn't take it anymore: "Shanyu, Prince Maodun hasn't come back!"

Touman's expression changed instantly: "What did you say?"

The visitor swallowed nervously, and hurriedly said, "Amu and the others led their troops south, and they have listened to your words and have never plundered the villages of the Qin people. Worried that the Qin people would misunderstand them, they deliberately set up camp ten miles away from the Great Wall. Who Knowing that they had just settled down and had no time to contact the Qin people in the future, they were attacked by the Qin army that night."

"Amu said that it must be because Prince Maodun confuses the people in the ears of the Qin people, making the Qin people misunderstand their intentions, and this is the end."

How can Touman care about the Yan family?

He immediately walked up to his subordinates: "Amu and the others, how many people have returned?"

The visitor's eyes were red, and he said in grief and indignation: "They only came back with less than 100 people!"

Less than 100 people?

Touman was furious, he sent tens of thousands of people to meet Modu, it can be said that he gave Maodu enough face, that brat Modu rewarded him in this way, and rewarded the tribe that gave birth to him?

Touman left the big tent angrily.

After he left, Na Yan said in a panic: "How could so many people die?"

The subordinate changed his grief and anger before, and lowered his voice: "There were more than 200 people who fled back, but Amu was worried that the others would lie, so on the way..."

He raised his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck at Yanshi.

Yanshi let out a long breath, and smiled at the other party: "Don't worry, after I give birth to my son, your benefits will be indispensable!"

Touman didn't fully believe in Amu, so he specially sent his confidants to interrogate everyone separately, wanting to know if anyone was lying——

Before marrying the current Yan family, although the father-son relationship between Touman and Modun was not very close, but after getting along for many years, he did not know anything about Modun.

Sending so many soldiers by himself, even if Mo Dun didn't want to return to the court of the Huns, he wouldn't be able to instigate the Qin people to attack him.

What's more, it was such a tragic, almost completely wiped out battle.

but……

The result of the interrogation was that what Amu said was true.

Modu has really betrayed the Huns.

Just when Touman was annoyed by his discovery, and even did not hesitate to implicate his clansmen and friends who had made good friends in the tribe before, someone suddenly sent news——

The Qin State sent troops to fight over, and now they have stepped into the territory of their tribe!

Moreover, they seemed to be galloping straight towards the direction of the King's Court of the Huns, and they might arrive at the King's Court in a few days.

Touman was stunned: "How did Qin know the location of the Xiongnu king's court?!!!"

The Qin people had never lived on the grassland at all, and it was difficult to even distinguish the direction, so how did they find the location of the Huns' royal court?

The subordinate was full of panic: "The people below said that they seem to have seen a lot of acquaintances among the Qin army."

"Acquaintance? What acquaintance?"

"That's right," the subordinate was so frightened that he could hardly speak, "it's people from other Hun tribes. Someone recognized one of the tribes, and it's the xx tribe that fought with us last year."

Touman was stunned: "Are they colluding with Qin?"

The subordinate cried and said: "Okay, it seems to be."

Touman was going crazy, he couldn't believe the result at all.

But fortunately, he calmed down quickly: "Come here, send an order immediately, let all the young and middle-aged men of the tribe gather, and prepare to meet Qin and those bastards who have forgotten who their ancestors are!"

Everyone thought that the Qin army was able to set foot on the territory of the Touman tribe so quickly, it must be because of the leadership of other Huns.

This idea is right, but not quite right.

Because Meng Tian and Han Yu really had to rely on other Huns to lead the way at the beginning, but the equal distance from the Touman tribe's territory is getting closer and closer, and even the other Huns need to spend more time to find where the Huns royal court is now. When the position...

Meng Tian took out a telescope, and quickly found the direction.

Some people wondered what it was in his hand.

Meng Tian casually handed the binoculars to the other party: "This treasure is called clairvoyance. Although it is impossible to see what is thousands of miles away, it is not difficult to see what is tens of miles away."

The man took the clairvoyant carefully, imitating Meng Tian's action just now, put it on the eye and looked in.

then……

"hiss--"

The man took a breath, and took the clairvoyance from his eyes in horror: "This, this, this treasure..."

Meng Tian glanced at the other party, and chuckled lightly: "Before, it was too far away from the Xiongnu King's Court, so it was useless to take it out, but now it's close enough."

The man tremblingly handed the clairvoyance to Meng Tian, ​​with a forced smile on his face: "This, this treasure must be very rare, I am worried that it will be accidentally damaged, it is better to return it to the original owner."

Meng Tian waved his hand casually: "It's nothing, it's just a clairvoyance, I have more."

Then, he took out a clairvoyance from the bag hanging on the horse.

Han Yu next to him laughed when he saw this, and also took out one.

What's even more exasperating is that after the two took out a clairvoyance one after another, other officers also took out a clairvoyance one after another.

The person with clairvoyance in his hand: "..."

Dare love is really worthless?But doesn't it mean it's a treasure?Where is there a treasure for everyone?

But this is not a good thing for their tribes of the Huns.

In the past, when the Xiongnu went south to plunder, other countries, especially the State of Zhao, did not think of sending troops to take down all the Xiongnu tribes directly. Zhao Guo's army ran away with the tent in advance when they came in pursuit, so every time they took the initiative to attack, it was almost useless except wasting time.

So in the end, the armies of Zhao and other countries could only defend passively, and completely gave up taking the initiative to attack.

But now, they have clairvoyance.

Even if there is still no advantage in distinguishing the direction, but after they have clairvoyance, at least they will not be lost when chasing some Huns, and they will not be caught by the Huns who discovered them in advance run away.

Thinking of this, the man couldn't help but shudder.

Fortunately, they have already formed an alliance with Qin.

……

With the behavior of the current king of Qin, it seems that it is not very safe to just form an alliance with him?

It is not that the countries that Qin conquered did not have their own allies.

A group of Huns were distracted by the appearance of clairvoyance, and after one glance at the people they were friends with, they all made up their minds.

I still wanted to preserve my strength before, but now I can't.

It would be best if General Meng could see their strength...

==·Surrender·==

A group of people walked straight forward. Suddenly, a certain Xiongnu ruler raised his hand to stop the movement of others: "Everyone, be careful, there are ambushes around!"

Meng Tian paused, exchanged glances with Han Yu, and immediately ordered all soldiers to prepare for battle.

The other Huns had already taken up their weapons when the man spoke.

Most of the grasslands are flat, and you can see the plain from a distance, but there are always some places with undulating grass slopes. If someone hides behind and shoots cold arrows, it may also cause serious losses to them.

Meng Tian glanced at it, and immediately drew his sword and pointed at one of the small grass slopes: "Come on, shoot an arrow!"

Soon, Qin Jun took down his bow and arrow, took out arrows, and shot arrows one after another directly in the direction pointed by Meng Tian's sword tip.

Whoosh whoosh—

The sharp arrow pierced the air, and there was a chilling sound.

Immediately afterwards, everyone heard a muffled hum that came out one after another.

Meng Tian turned cold, and after looking around for a week, he pointed to a grassy slope next to him and ordered again: "Keep shooting arrows, don't stop!"

Whoosh whoosh—

A rain of arrows rose into the air, and then fell instantly, making the sound of arrows piercing the flesh, and the metal of the weapon touching the fine iron of the arrow tip.

Soon there was a series of mourning from behind the grassy slope.

Seemingly realizing that their own side has been completely exposed, the ambush man did not dare to think that Meng Tian and others would enter their best ambush location, so he could only shout immediately: "Come on, shoot the arrow, kill the Qin army!"

Almost instantly, densely packed Hun soldiers appeared on the grassy slopes nearby.

Meng Tian frowned first, then roughly estimated the strength of the two sides, and immediately roared: "Everyone obeys the order, the enemy's strength is less than half of ours, and the range of the arrows is not as far as ours. Take up your bows and arrows and shoot for me—"

As soon as the words fell, Qin Jun raised his bow and arrow in an instant, and pointed the tip of the arrow at the Hun soldiers who had just emerged.

Before the leader of the Xiongnu realized the meaning of Meng Tian's words, he saw a rain of arrows coming towards him, and the strong oppressive feeling like a black cloud covered the top, which made people's eyes widen in horror.

At the critical moment, he completely forgot about his soldiers, and immediately turned around and ran away.

But when he fled, the other Huns soldiers could only be forced to bear the arrow clusters, almost unable to resist: the arrows used by the Qin army had already been changed to arrows made of fine iron, while the arrows of the Huns soldiers were still the same. Bronze in the past, not even bronze.

There is a considerable gap in the range of the arrows alone.

This Hun army, which intended to ambush Meng Tian and others, was almost powerless to fight back under the attack of the Qin army.

After a while, they ran away one after another, doing the same behavior as their leader.

Seeing this, Meng Tian wanted to chase immediately.

But I didn't want to, the Xiongnu who were still a little lazy at first seemed to have been beaten, and all picked up their knives and rode after them on horseback. It seemed that they wanted to take the heads of those people even more than Qin Jun.

Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, and quickly ordered to pursue.

Under the suppression of twice the force and more lethal weapons, the Huns soldiers failed to escape the pursuit of the Qin army even though they fled all the way.

But in just half a day, nearly half of those Hun soldiers were killed and captured.

It's not that the fighting power of the Huns is really so weak.

At least the Qin army's horses are much worse than those of the Huns. It stands to reason that even if the Qin army is brave and good at fighting, it is unlikely to win such a big result.

But isn't that, isn't there a group of traitors among them?

The horses of the Qin army are not as good as those of the Xiongnu, but the horses of other Hun tribes are not bad.

What's more, these Huns who were allied with the Qin army didn't know what happened, as if they suddenly had endless morale, they immediately chased after Meng Tian ordered the Touman tribe to chase after them.

They don't love fighting, let alone take the lives of those in the Touman tribe.

What this group of Huns did was——

Several people catch up with the same person on horseback, and then attack from multiple sides, directly knocking the person off the horse to the ground, then running away and chasing the next person; after chasing another person, repeat the same trick, knocking the person to the ground and then running .

If there is really no way to knock people to the ground, they can directly attack the mounts of the Touman tribe.

They were fast, and they didn't get entangled with the Touman tribe. They quickly knocked down the Touman tribe from their horses.

Qin Jun followed behind, like a garbage picker. He didn't need to take action at all. He only needed to catch and tie up those Xiongnu who had lost the ability to escape, and by the way recovered all the arrows that had been shot before, and he could get A fairly substantial feat.

Everyone: "..."

Are these Huns really out of their minds?

Looking at the bewildered look of his soldiers, Meng Tian couldn't help laughing: "Don't think too much, tie them up quickly."

The soldiers tied up the man obediently, but he always felt a little uncomfortable: "This is a battle achievement..."

One head can get the lowest title!

Meng Tian had already run a certain distance, but when he heard the words, he turned around and smiled and said, "It's useless for them to take these heads and captives. This is for you. After that... you just remember to speak well for them."

Soldier:"???"

It is easy to understand that it is useless for the Huns to take the heads of their own clansmen, but as foreigners, what need do they have to speak well?

Meng Tian had already run away, so naturally he couldn't answer his words.

But soon, he knew——

Touman soon learned that his subordinates failed to get a bargain from Qin Jun's men, not to mention losing half of his troops. He didn't dare to stay to fight against Qin Jun, so he could only take his people and leave quickly.

Meng Tian originally wanted to pursue him, but at this moment he suddenly realized that the food and grass were about to run out.

Moreover, the temperature difference between day and night on the prairie was too great, and that man directly led his people to run further north, where the temperature was lower, and many Qin soldiers couldn't stand it, and many fevers had appeared one after another. With ginger, you can boil some water to drink, and you may not know what will happen.

Seeing that it was impossible to persist in the situation, Meng Tian no longer wanted to fight, and directly led his people back to Jiuyuan County.

However, it was not without gains: nearly half of the large grasslands with rich water and grass originally occupied by the Touman tribe fell into the hands of the Qin State.

What is even more gratifying than the fact that half of the territory of the Touman tribe was torn off is that after the war, most of the Xiongnu tribes allied with the Qin army returned to Jiuyuan County to find Mengtian and offered to seek refuge. Qin State, and the idea that they are willing to offer the grassland they occupied before.

Although Meng Tian had expected it, he was still a little excited when he saw what happened before him.

But it is related to the country, Meng Tian dare not be good at it.

He immediately wrote a letter to tell Ying Zheng their thoughts, hoping to ask him to make a decision.

Such a good thing, why refuse?

Almost immediately after receiving the letter sent by Meng Tian to Xianyang, Ying Zheng made a decision.

What he is more worried about now is another thing——

How should those Huns who chose to take refuge in Qin be arranged in the future?

……

Li Si glanced at the others, and said helplessly, "Since they already had territory belonging to their own tribe, why don't they just assign people to where they used to live?"

Ying Zheng frowned: "If that's the case, why should they surrender to Qin?"

Obviously, these people chose to surrender to Qin, not only hoping to obtain the status of Qin people, but also hoping to live closer to Qin and get more benefits.

If Li Si's ideas were followed, those tribes would not only continue to live their previous lives, but they might also be retaliated by Touman, who was relieved.

That being the case, what is the point of their surrender?

Li Si hurriedly said: "My minister is reckless, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and did not hold Li Si responsible.

The other ministers saw the interaction between the two and understood Ying Zheng's attitude towards this matter, so they organized their thoughts and offered their own suggestions.

Some people say that all the Huns can be directly moved to a certain city within the Great Wall. Anyway, the population of Qin is not large now, and there is no problem at all with more than a dozen or 20 people.

Some people say that they can be scattered and arranged in other cities, so that they can adapt to life after leaving the grassland more quickly, just like Baiyue.

Some people also said that if we simply build a city for them directly on the grassland, and let these people with the same living habits live together, there will be less friction, and they will definitely be happier.

……

But at this moment, someone poured cold water on them.

Zhang Liang stood up and said, "Have you forgotten that apart from herding livestock, these Huns don't know how to farm? Nor do they know how to make a living?"
