Chapter 827: The Purpose of the Mission

The three hundred forbidden troops have forcibly dispersed the Yueshi people near the garrison under the arrangement of the school captain, leaving only a few Yueshi girls who are serving, one by one with swords out of the box and knives out of the sheath, holding a long Ge bow and crossbow to prevent the water from defending the envoy's yurt where Li Shun lives.

"Lord Li, what does the King of the Moon Clan say? Did you promise to hand over Maudun? Seeing Li Shun come in, several accompanying officials in the yurt asked eagerly.

"This matter is not in a hurry, since we have already arrived at the Yue Clan's royal court, the most important thing is not to get Mao Dun, but to take the opportunity to find out the internal movements of the Yue Clan, so it is best for Mao Dun and them not to hand it over immediately...... Poof, hurry up and make a pot of hot tea, it's so unpleasant! ”

After washing his hands and face, Li Shun sat down and drank a sip of the warm mare's milk handed over by an attendant, sprayed it on the ground in one sip, and then ordered him to quickly take out the tea leaves he carried and boil water to make tea.

"Inquire about the news of the Yue Clan?" Several officials opened their mouths wide.

"Yes, the emperor's edict is to let the Yue people hand over Mao Dun on the surface, in fact, this is just a strategy, before leaving, the Marquis of Qinghe specially mentioned it to me, the main purpose of this envoy to the Yue clan is to figure out the internal situation of the Yue clan, to see which tribal leaders and people of the royal family can make friends, send some silk porcelain and tea and wine for bribery, and secretly find out the attitude of these people towards my Great Qin, whether they are hostile or friendly, Your Majesty's edict above the court You all know, A year later, no matter what the situation of the Yue clan is, my Great Qin will use troops against the Yue clan, if we can find out the bottom of the Yue clan in advance, then we can implement a strategy to divide the Yue clan, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort......"

"I see!" Several officials suddenly came to their senses.

"My lord, what do we do next? We don't know any of these clan leaders and royal clans of the Yue Clan, and we are not familiar with ......," an official said eagerly.

"It's okay, when the king of the Yue clan discusses it, he will definitely invite me to the banquet, and then I will act when the opportunity comes!"

"Yes, I'll wait for everything to be arranged by the adults!" Several officials saluted together.

In the big tent of the king of the moon clan.

At this time, King Zuoping was also explaining to a group of tribal leaders about Maudun.

"In the early spring two years ago, the ice and snow had just thawed, the Xiongnu Shan Yu Tou Man sent the prince Mao Dun to envoy my Yueshi, and sent many gifts, originally I and the king thought that this was just Tou Man was afraid of being sandwiched between my Yue and Donghu to show weakness, so I didn't care, but then there was news that Daqin raided the Xiongnu royal court, Touman was killed, so Mao Dun prayed that the king stayed in Yueshi for refuge, otherwise he would return to the Xiongnu and would be chased and killed by the Qin army, the king was soft-hearted and agreed to Mao Dun's request, but he was afraid that this matter would be known by the Qin people, Therefore, he was arranged to be guarded near Mingsha Mountain in the desert, and the matter of Mao Dun's envoy to my Yue clan was very hidden, but he didn't expect to be noticed by the Qin people......"

After listening to the words of King Zuoping, there was silence in the king's tent, but soon it became noisy.

"Great King, now that the Huns have been destroyed by Great Qin, even if this Mao Dun is the crown prince, now he is just a lone wolf who has left the clan is not worth mentioning, in order not to be hated by the Emperor of Great Qin, I think it is better to hand him over to this messenger to take away!" One of the leaders stood up and said loudly.

"Yes, this Mao Dun is of no use to my Yue Clan, so why bother yourself!"

"Yes, since the Great Qin Emperor already knows that Mao Dun is in the hands of my Yue clan, if he doesn't pay it, he will definitely suspect that my Yue clan intends to support the Xiongnu to restore the country, and maybe he will arrange for a large army to come to conquer ......"

"The soldiers of Great Qin are like tigers and wolves, today the Giant Tooth Tribe is almost disabled, there are only three hundred people, if Great Qin comes to 330,000, my Yue clan is afraid of a catastrophe!"

Several tribal leaders stood up one after another, and the previous tribal leaders who still wanted to attack the Central Plains did not speak at this time, and their faces were extremely gloomy and ugly.

The Yueshi has never fought head-on with Daqin, because there are big rivers and Helan Mountain (during the Qin and Han dynasties, it also belonged to the remaining veins of Yinshan Mountain, and there was no official name), Longshan (Liupan Mountain) blocked, and it belonged to the grassland and desert area, and in the eyes of the Central Plains people, it belonged to the barren land inhabited by barbarians, so basically they never took the initiative to attack, so the Yueshi people did not know the strength of the Central Plains army at all, and they had been hiding in the Hexi Corridor, a place with abundant water and grass, to recuperate and accumulate strength. In addition, there are Qilian Mountains and a large desert grassland in the northeast, and they are also far away from the Xiongnu, so the Yueshi people can slowly conquer the Linhu and Qiangrong tribes in this area and then rise to become a huge unified tribe.

However, it is the closed environment of the Yueshi people that has led to insufficient vigilance against the Central Plains and the Huns, so on the historical trend that Chen Xu remembers, the suddenly rising Xiongnu Shan Yu fled westward with hundreds of thousands of fierce troops beating his tail between his legs, giving up a large area of abundant water and grass in Hexi, so that the rapid development and growth of the Xiongnu began to threaten the Central Plains, and it has been threatening for hundreds of years, until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty completely defeated the Huns and completely withdrew from the Hexi Corridor. Wandered to the desert behind Yanzhi Mountain (Qilian Mountain) to survive, and then several emperors of the Han Dynasty in order to give Han Gaozu the shame and blood feud of Bai Deng being trapped still chased and beaten, and the Huns were beaten and cried into dogs, so they could only reluctantly give up fighting against the disaster of the Central Plains Europeans.

And today's one-sided massacre woke up the Yueshi people at once, I damn it, it turns out that the Central Plains people are so powerful, and the fights are so ferocious, compared with the fierce Daqin soldiers, the Yueshi people's proud combat effectiveness is almost like sheep.

In fact, this is because Li Shun is too small in number and very timid to attack the army of the Yue clan, if Chen Xu personally comes to the Yue clan and comes with five hundred young men with muskets and cannons, he will inevitably open fire directly, and then shoot down indiscriminately, it is estimated that thousands of Yue clan people will all be scared, and it is impossible for the Yue clan king to give up the royal court and flee in a panic, after all, this kind of firearms that are thousands of years ahead of the times are not something that these barbarians can understand.

However, it is impossible for Chen Xu to come in person, the conquest of the Yue clan is not an urgent thing at the moment, and constantly promoting the reform to renew the life of Daqin is Chen Xu's most urgent task, Daqin is worried about internal and external troubles, the larger the territory occupied, the more it will cause the livelihood of the people in the country to be difficult, and he needs to take his time, not to mention the fact that he will not do the war This kind of thing of pinning his head to the belt of his trousers will not do, he is a disciple of the immortal family, he is a double marquis, he is a top noble, he doesn't need any military merits at all, his favorite is to drink wine and make food, It's okay to just patrol the fiefdom with bubble girls, and get up early to bed to face this kind of thing has a conflict with him, let alone fighting.

"Great King, although Mao Dun is like a lost dog, but after all, he is still the prince of the Huns, and it is not useless to leave him for the future development of my Yue clan, as long as you secretly support him to gather the strength of the tribe and let him return to the homeland of the Huns to attack and harass the Great Qin ......"

"King Nantu, don't be obsessed, now the Xiongnu are no longer the same as in the past, hundreds of thousands of people were captured by the Great Qin, and the rest of the people hiding in Tibet are only tens of thousands, and they are all frightened, even if they support Mao Dun to secretly develop their forces, it will take at least decades, he can afford to wait, but we can't afford to wait, once Mao Dun is not handed over, the next time it will not be the envoy, but tens of thousands of Great Qin soldiers......"

Before King Nantu's words were finished, he was sharply interrupted by King Zuoping.

"King, what King Zuoping said is reasonable, we can't take this risk!" Several tribal leaders who did not want to be enemies of Great Qin stood up in support of King Zuoping.

"Brother Wang, you see what to do, now Mao Dun is still in the desert north of the mountain, it will take at least ten days to go back and forth, if you want to hand it over to the Great Qin envoy, you must quickly send someone to escort him back!" King Zuo Ping turned his head to look at the King of the Yue Clan.

"Well, Brother Wang is right, Mao Dun is not of great use to my Yue Clan, on the contrary, it is still a scourge, you arrange for someone to go to Mingsha Mountain to arrest him back as soon as possible, and it is better to send this group of Great Qin envoys to leave quickly!"

The Yue Clan King finally nodded and made a decision.

"Yes, my brother will arrange it!" King Zuo Ping stood up.

"Also, make good arrangements for the living and eating of the envoys and soldiers of Great Qin, and don't hide the matter of the meal, tonight the king will invite the envoy to the king's tent, and then you will all come together to ......"

"King, what about our attack on the Qiang tribe?" A tribal leader asked.

"This matter can only be given up for the time being, and another arrangement will be made after sending off the Great Qin envoy!" The king of the Yue clan waved his hand, and a group of tribal leaders all got up to say goodbye and left the king's tent, and the king of Zuoping also quickly came to the yurt where Li Shun and the others were resting, and conveyed the arrangements of the king of the Yue clan word for word.

"Master Li, what do you think of this matter?" After King Zuoping left, several officials gathered around Li Shun and began to discuss the matter.

"I don't think the King of the Yue Clan will lie, but this is a good thing, it gives us enough reason and time to stay and find out the internal situation of the Yue Clan, so before Mao Dun is handed over to us, you should be careful and try to contact as many leaders of the Yue Clan and the royal family as possible to inquire about the situation!" Li Shun said as he tugged at the sparse beard on his chin.

"Yes, this is an opportunity!" Several officials nodded in unison.

Since they are here to inquire about the news, naturally the more time the better, according to King Zuoping, it will take them at least ten days to capture Mao Dun back, and these ten days are their best chance. (https:)
