Li Chen stood up, walked to the side of the marching map, and then drew a circle on the map, and the area in this circle was the activity area of Donghu.

"Let's fight Donghu first." Li Chen said categorically.

"What?"

"What?"

After Li Chen finished speaking, everyone was surprised, including Meng Tian in the infighting, he didn't expect Li Chen to choose to fight Donghu first.

"Master Hou, don't give this group of bastards a general knowledge, let's discuss which one to fight first." Meng Tian glared at his subordinate generals fiercely, and hurriedly spoke.

Li Chen naturally knew what Meng Tian meant, he thought he was fighting with these generals, and pointed out Donghu at random. You must know that now Wang Ben and Meng Tian are under Li Chen's control, this military order is like a mountain, Li Chen asked them to beat them and had to fight.

"Meng Shuai, but I thought I was angry." Li Chen asked with a smile.

Meng Tian looked at Li Chen, silent, and thought, "Aren't you just angry?" ”

Fighting on this steppe is different from fighting elsewhere, how many siege battles are fought elsewhere, where the enemy army is, and how many people are clearly laid out on the surface. But the races on this steppe are all nomadic people, they are very mobile, here today, where will they be tomorrow. It's one thing to be able to find the target you want to attack, it's another thing to find whether you can fight if you find it, it's another thing to catch up if you want to run after you've beaten someone, and it's another thing to have how many reinforcements people will pounce on in the process of chasing.

And the most difficult to deal with in the steppe was not the Xiongnu, nor Dayue, but the smallest Donghu. Whether it is the Xiongnu or Dayue, they are still nomadic or notadic, and each tribe has a rough grassland division, and the tribe is relatively large, and it is easier to find those who drag their families and mouths. The Donghu are a robber nation that mainly robs caravans of various tribes, and they have more than 1,000 people in one tribe, and only 3,500 people in one tribe. In the face of the encirclement and suppression of the Qin army, people scattered and ran, there were three or five, seven or eight over there, for the Qin army, it was completely anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes, and they could not use it.

Therefore, in Meng Tian's view, whether it is fighting Dayue or the Huns, it is far more reliable than fighting Donghu.

Li Chen pointed to the map and said, "Whether we fight Dayue or the Huns, it is impossible to defeat it with one blow. And once our side moves, Da Yue, the Huns will definitely join forces, and Donghu will naturally not let go of this opportunity to rob while the fire is hot. But if we fight Donghu first, the Xiongnu and Dayue may not help Donghu and my Daqin to the death. ”

"This may not be, once we put on a posture of wanting to eat Donghu, the Huns and Dayue will definitely not sit idly by." Meng Tian thought for a moment and said.

"Are there many reasons to go to war? We don't have to show it if we want to eat Donghu, we can use other excuses, such as revenge? Li Chen said with a smile.

"Oh, Master Hou already has a way?" Meng Tian asked.

"Not bad."

"First of all, let's release the news first, and say that my Great Qin has a big caravan from Xianyang that is coming to Moon City. Then let's kill some death row prisoners and throw their bodies on the chassis of the Donghu people, and then throw shoes, some gold, silver, jewelry, salt, tea, silk and other goods to the chassis of the Donghu people. You said that when the Donghu people found these goods, would they leave the goods or send them to Yuecheng? Once they talk about the goods, it's yellow mud falling into the crotch of their pants, and it's not but is. At that time, we will hold the banner of catching the murderer to deal with Donghu, if the Huns and the Dayue people dare to intervene, we will break off the deal with them. They had just tasted the sweetness of trading with Great Qin, how could they have a conflict with Great Qin because of these self-inflicted Donghu people. Li Chen pointed to the map and talked eloquently.

Hearing Li Chen say this, everyone immediately suddenly realized, and praised in unison: "Master Hou is planning for a long time. ”

The Donghu people are a group of hungry wolves, and their reputation on the grassland is extremely rotten. On weekdays, they not only robbed Daqin's caravans, but sometimes even robbed caravans with the Xiongnu and Dayue clans. However, these people are quite measured, they want money and don't kill people, they only rob and don't kill people, so they haven't caused public anger for the time being.

"The news of my coming to Moon City can't be leaked, so Meng Shuai will arrange someone to do it." Li Chen commanded.

The next day, it was rumored in Yuecheng that there was a caravan of Xianyang Ba Clan who was going to come to Yuecheng to trade, and this Ba Clan was now one of the richest merchants in Great Qin. The caravans of the Ba Clan naturally brought some good things, what salt tea silk is some small things, it is said that the people of the Ba Clan followed the Hou Ye to make a lot of fortune in Samhan and got a lot of treasures. Among the goods traded in Wolseong this time was the sea pearls of the Samhan region, and it is said that among these sea pearls, the size of a human eyeball is defective, and there are even a few night pearls like fists.

Since the beginning of trading in the grassland, this Moon City has also begun to develop a small number of grassland merchants, which can be said to be mixed. So as soon as the news came out, it immediately spread throughout the grassland. A fist-sized night pearl, this is a great treasure in the eyes of the grassland nobles. After all, the pearls are all produced in the sea this night, and the scarcity is expensive, and this thing is separated from the grassland, which can be said to be extremely rare.

As soon as the news spread, both the nobles of the Huns and the nobles of the Dayue people were eager to trade these night pearls. These steppe aristocrats are all big dogs, and they are very rich.

After a few days of brewing, the news has become more and more intense, and it is said that this fist-sized night pearl on the grassland has been rumored to be the size of a human head.

Now that it was time to start, a caravan played by the lieutenant generals of the army to cover people's eyes and ears also began to carry the banner of Ba Shi and rushed in the direction of Moon City.

It was night, it was dark and moonless, and this caravan of fake Babs had just entered the chassis of the Donghu people.

"Alert, alert, disperse the scouts, and shoot them all if anyone gets close." In the black, the caravan in the day has changed its appearance.

"Rest everyone, someone has already seen us enter the territory of the Donghu people during the day. When the brothers in the back press the death row prisoner, we can call it a day. A man who looked like a leader said.

After waiting for about half an hour, a team of cavalry escorted more than 100 death row prisoners to rush over.

The leading general first took off the blindfolds of these death row prisoners, and then untied the ropes on their hands and feet.

"Run." General Qin Jun suddenly said to these death row prisoners.

Death row inmate: "? ”

As soon as these words came out, these death row inmates were a little confused, why, there were such good things in the middle of the night. I can't think about it so much, these death row inmates are all capital crimes, and now that they have a glimmer of life, they still don't just run away.

When these death row prisoners ran thirty-nine meters, the general of the Qin army drew a forty-meter broadsword and commanded the Qin army on the left and right: "Kill." ”

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

"Bang, bang, bang."

The arrows flew at a rapid pace, shooting the death row prisoners, and some cavalry chased after them, cutting them to the ground. At this time, taking advantage of the slight firelight, it was seen that they were using the weapons of the captured Donghu people.

"Flip the wagon over, and we'll go back." General Qin commanded.

After about a stick of incense, the Qin army had disappeared, leaving only corpses lying on the ground, and gold and silver treasures scattered all over the place.
