Chapter 377: The Great Moon Clan
This year's winter passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the wax moon.
The New Year is approaching, and the whole Daqin is festive, and thousands of households are busy welcoming the arrival of the New Year.
In this month, the canal project also stopped work early for a holiday, and the migrant workers rushed to their homes, looking forward to returning home and having a happy reunion year.
Xianyang City, the huge capital of Daqin, is naturally very lively, with lights everywhere and beaming.
The increase in grain production, the reduction of oral taxes, and the increase in agricultural leisure work have earned wages, so that every family has money and food. On the occasion of this New Year, everyone is busy buying New Year's goods and buying new clothes.
Of course, there is one thing that is essential, and that is firecrackers.
Because firecrackers and Spring Festival couplets are pasted, it not only expresses people's wishes, but also adds to the festive atmosphere. Therefore, in today's Qin State, setting off firecrackers and pasting Spring Festival couplets during the New Year has become a custom that everyone has agreed on, and it is accepted and followed by every common person in Daqin.
And fireworks, in today's Qin State, belong to a high-consumption luxury for ordinary farmers. Therefore, only some wealthy businessmen will buy fireworks in large quantities.
Take advantage of the splendor of fireworks and envision the splendor and beauty of the new year!
In short, the entire Great Qin, and the whole country, are busy preparing for the celebration of the New Year......
At the same time, in the southwest and northwest of Great Qin, there was no such tranquility and peace, and at this time it was already a war.
The Yue clan west of Great Qin was even more powerful than the original Donghu. For example, before Mao Dun killed his father and became independent, he was hostage to the Yue Clan, which shows the strength of the Yue Clan.
It is said that the Yueshi is known as the more than 100,000 people who control the strings, and can be called the most powerful tribe on the grassland.
It is precisely because of his strength that the horses of the Yue clan have been arrogantly crossing the border to graze in the pastures of the Xiongnu, and every winter, they will harass the weak Xiongnu and take cattle and sheep for the winter.
However, this year is different.
Today's Xiongnu has become the territory of Great Qin, and the king of the north is more than 300,000 guards from the border army, and even if the Yue clan is strong, he does not dare to cross the border pass.
The shrinking of the pastures, coupled with the fact that they could not go to the Xiongnu to fight the autumn wind as before, also made it extremely difficult for the Yueshi throughout the winter.
Coupled with the rapid strength and expansion of the Great Qin Empire, this also made the Yue Clan feel dangerous.
Because the Xiongnu, Donghu, Sushen, and Fuyu were all unified by Great Qin, then as the Yue clan living west of Great Qin, they were naturally worried that they would become the next target of Great Qin.
The king of the Yue clan is a king who knows how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and for this reason, he realizes that if the Yue clan wants to avoid the same fate as the Xiongnu and Donghu tribes, he can only quickly make himself strong before the Great Qin Iron Cavalry has made a move against him.
As a result, the king of the Yue clan made the decision to expand rapidly.
Attacking the Qiang tribe to the south and the Wusun tribe to the west, the entire southwest of the border pass of Daqin was in turmoil.
Of course, it was just to expand to the southwest and attack Wusun and Qiang, although the purpose was to make the Yue clan stronger, but at the same time as becoming stronger, the Yue clan was also worried, that is, he was worried that while attacking Wusun and Qiang, Daqin would take the opportunity to attack him from behind.
If that's the case, the Yueshi will be in danger!
So, for this, the entire Yue Clan was worried.
…………
The Court of the Moon Clan.
At this time, the princes and ministers of the Yue clan gathered together and were discussing a countermeasure for this matter.
"Now I have 100,000 warriors of the Yue clan, 30,000 soldiers of the Western Expedition to Wusun, 40,000 soldiers of the southern attack on the Qiang tribe, and there are only more than 30,000 soldiers left behind to guard the royal court. You can make a good plan, why don't you hurry up? ”
The king of the Yue family, who is nearly fifty years old, has a great figure, but he has a kingly atmosphere. It's just that at this time, the face of the original overlord was a little more worried.
"Father, don't worry, now that the whole country of Great Qin is full of New Year's celebrations, how can there be kung fu to invade our Yue Clan, isn't this the reason why our Yue Clan chose to attack the Qiang and Wusun at this time? It is better to send 10,000 warriors to Erchen, and Erchen went to support the second brother and destroyed Wusun in one fell swoop. As long as Wusun can be captured quickly, even if the Qin army decides to use troops against my Yue Clan, my Yue Clan will no longer be afraid! "The eldest prince was obviously unimpressed by the Yue Clan's worries.
In particular, when he thought that the second prince led his troops to attack Wusun, but he was left in the royal court and could not establish his merits, his heart was very unbalanced.
Although he is the eldest prince and the crown prince of the Otsuki clan, if he has no merits, he will have no prestige in front of the leaders of the various small clans of the Yue clan. Without prestige, how can you talk about being a king of the Yue clan in the future?
What's more, if the second prince destroys Wusun and makes great achievements, he will also be a threat to himself at that time.
Therefore, the eldest prince is not worried about the Qin army coming to attack at the moment, if meritorious service is the most urgent thing in his heart at present.
Some of the ministers also nodded one after another, feeling that what the eldest prince said did have some truth.
Great Qin, whether in the army or not the common people, is busy with the New Year, and the possibility of sending troops to conquer the Yue clan at this time is extremely low. And if you can send more troops to Wusun and quickly defeat Wusun, you can resolve the crisis of a three-sided war that may occur.
It's just that for the King of the Yue Clan, it is a matter of the safety of the Yue Clan, and any hidden dangers that exist are worth worrying about, so he shook his head and said: "Although my son is good, no one can guarantee that Daqin will not take the opportunity to send troops to my Yue Clan at this time, so you must find a way to deal with it in order to feel at ease." ”
Speaking of this, he did not forget to educate the eldest prince: "As the eldest prince, you will inherit the great cause of my Yue clan in the future, as the future leader, if you can't be prepared for danger in times of peace, won't you put the tribe in danger?" ”
"What my father instructed me to do is for my sons to remember." When the eldest prince heard this, he quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
At this moment, the Yue clan's most strategic, the great minister, came out and said: "The king, the minister has a strategy, or it can be used." ”
"Oh? The big pawn really has a clever plan, talk about it quickly! "The king of the Yue clan is overjoyed.
Everyone also looked at the big boss and wanted to hear his high opinion.
Da Danghu nodded slowly, and said: "As the saying goes, the first strike is strong, and the second attack suffers, if you want to ensure that the Qin army is unable to send troops to my Dayue Clan, only my Dayue Clan takes the initiative to attack Daqin." ”
"Ahh
When they heard this, everyone was in an uproar!
Da Danghu is the smartest person in the Yue Clan, and he is also the highest-ranking Wenchen, erudite and talented, and has always been good at using strategies and strategizing, which no one can match, but today, how could he say such stupid words?
Take the initiative to take action against Daqin......
This...... Is this also a strategy? This is clearly looking for death!
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
Some people can't even believe their ears.
The king of the Yue clan was also surprised, suspecting that his ears had heard it wrong, and said, "Da Danghu, what did you say?" Take the initiative to use troops against Daqin? ”
"No, my king is wrong." Da Danghu shook his head and said with a smile: "What the minister said, taking the initiative to attack Daqin, does not refer to the use of soldiers. ”
"Oh? So what do you mean? The Yue Clan King said curiously.
