Chapter 284: What is at stake

When Hurdun saw Meng Tian, he politely performed a grassland etiquette to Meng Tian. He straightened up and said, "My name is Huerdun, and I am the heir of the Great Khan of Balashan, the pearl of the grassland, and Her Royal Highness Princess Yinting has come to meet the general. ”

Balashan was the Great Khan of the Huns, but he died not long ago, and Meng Tian knew about it. And Meng Tian also knew that Barashan had a beloved daughter under his knees, but he didn't know what the woman's name was.

"What did you say, who sent you?" Meng Tian didn't hear what Huerdun said clearly, and asked again.

Hurdun said again: "The villain was entrusted by Princess Yinting under the knees of Balashan Khan to come to meet the general. ”

Now Meng Tian understood, but he still didn't understand, what is the matter with this Princess Yinting looking for him, now Daqin and the Xiongnu are fighting, a princess sent someone to find her at this time, and she didn't come to surrender, so what is it for?

"Uh. Meng Tian's head didn't turn around for a while, he took a sip of the tea in front of him, and then said: "That Huerdun is it, what important thing do you want to say about that Princess Yinting who asked you to see General Ben? You must know that there is a war between you and me now, although you have withdrawn from the army, but you and I are enemies after all." So if there is anything, hurry up, General Ben is very busy. ”

Seeing that Meng Tian was so rude to him, Hurdun didn't get angry, just smiled slightly, and then said: "I know that the general is very busy, and I am also very busy in Xia, because there are still many things waiting for Her Royal Highness the princess to do on the grassland." Since the general is such a cheerful person, then I won't be verbose. ”

"Her Royal Highness the Princess sent me to see the general this time to seek the general's cooperation. After Huerdun finished speaking, he stood in place, smiling and looking at Meng Tian.

Hearing the word cooperation in Huerdun's words, Meng Tian felt quite fresh. According to Meng Tian's thoughts, the Huns were nothing more than a group of stubborn barbarians on the grassland, and reasoning with them was tantamount to a fantasy, and the best way was to directly conquer them by force, so that they would never dare to fight the attention of the Qin State again.

Meng Tian was slightly stunned, and randomly laughed out loud as if he had heard something funny.

For Meng Tian's sudden laughter, Huerdun's expression was slightly embarrassed, because in his opinion, the people of the Qin State should at least listen to the conditions of cooperation, and then ridicule themselves, why did the person in front of him laugh directly after listening to his words, is he really the Meng Tian who is above 10,000 people under the Qin State and commands an army of millions?

Meng Tian didn't laugh for long, he stopped laughing, then looked at Hurdun and asked, "Do you mean cooperation?"

"Yes, yes, cooperation. Six words popped out of Huerdun's mouth.

Although I don't know what the Huns in front of me have in mind, I don't have a good impression of the Huns Meng Tian. "Cooperation? Do you think General Ben will promise you? I don't care what happens on your steppe, as a general who leads the troops, I just need to beat you to submission. Cooperation? hehe, there's no need for that. ”

For Meng Tian's refusal, Huerdun didn't seem surprised. He nodded as if he agreed with Meng Tian's words. "I agree with what the general said, and even I take it for granted that the general will defeat us, and it will be easy. However, there is one thing, I don't know if the general has thought about it. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Hurdun stretched out a finger and pointed to the seat next to him, Meng Tian understood what he meant, nodded and motioned for him to sit down.

After Huerdun sat down, he said to Meng Tian: "General, I would like to ask you a question first, and ask the general to answer it." "Just love

Meng Tian said, "Ask, what's the problem?"

Hurdun saw the map of the Qin State hanging on Meng Tian's side, he looked at the map and said: "This map is something I have never seen before, and the locations marked on it are very detailed, is this the map of the territory of the Qin State?"

Meng Tian didn't answer him, just nodded.

"Sit here and look, the Qin State is only as big as on this map, but how big is the territory of the Qin State, do you know General Meng Tian?"

Meng Tian can't answer this question raised by Huerdun, and I'm afraid that no one in the entire Qin State can answer it.

"Since I, Great Qin, have gone through more than ten years of conquest under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, and I have only obtained this world. As for you asking me how big the territory of Great Qin is, I can only tell you that from this land under our feet, we can go all the way to the end of the land. The territory of my Great Qin is larger than that of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is an unprecedented, unique and powerful empire, and its territory is naturally infinite. ”

Huerdun's answer to Meng Tian was undeniable, and he continued: "Does the general know how big your northern grassland is?"

"Of course, I don't know that. Meng Tian replied truthfully.

Hurdun got up from his seat, walked over to the hanging map, found the city where they were, and then drew his finger all the way north of the rock city until it was outside the map, and then he pointed to the roof.

Huerdun said: "I don't know how big the Qin country is, but I know how big the grassland is. General Meng said this, I know that the general has a bloody horse, and this rare horse is also considered to be a treasure given to us by the heavens on our grassland. Riding such a BMW, it takes ten days and ten nights to run from the westernmost to the easternmost part of the grassland, and it takes at least seven days and seven nights to run from the southernmost to the northernmost snowfield. Thinking about it this way, I don't know who has a larger territory, the grassland or the Qin state. ”

"But I just want to say that there are many people in such a large place as Qin, and I dare not say that there are so many people on the grassland, but there are not a few, and these people are all loyal to the Great Khan of Balashan, and with the constraints of the Great Khan before, there was no war between the people of the steppe and the people of Qin. Now that there is no Great Khan, the leaders of some large tribes in the steppe have come to attack the Qin State for their own interests. I've said so much, can the general understand what he means?"

Listening to what Huerdun said so much, Meng Tian already somewhat understood his intentions, and he also knew what Huerdun said about the purpose of cooperation. Balashan Khan died, as his concubine, she should have been the heir to the throne, but now there is no news of a new Khan succeeding to the throne in the steppe, which means that the princess Yinting mentioned in the mouth of this Huerdun came to cooperate with him for the throne of his father Khan.

Since the people who went to the grassland to inquire about the news have not yet sent back the news, Meng Tian still does not know about the four major tribes on the grassland working together to attack the Kazakun tribe, and what he knows is that the Huns are now a group of dragons without a leader.

"So, your princess came to me to help her get the throne of her father, Khan?"

Meng Tian's words hit Huerdun's heart, and he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't say so much in vain. "Yes, the general is right. Now on the grassland, in addition to the Great Khan, there are five major tribes, that is, the five tribes that came to attack the Qin State this time. There are many soldiers and horses in the hands of these five tribes, and the strength of our king's tent is not their opponent at all, so after the death of Balashan Khan, they all coveted the throne, and the princess escaped from the king's tent in order to survive. Now we urgently need the help of the Great General to help us regain the Khan position, which will not only be beneficial to us, but also to Great Qin, please consider it. ”

What Huerdun said is indeed good, if this matter can really be done well, it will be very beneficial to both sides of the cooperation.

Meng Tian looked at Huerdun, and he smiled.

"In that case, such a big matter, I wonder if Her Royal Highness the Princess herself came to me to talk about it, you say, Mr. Messenger?"
