Chapter 453: Forming an Alliance (Second Update)

Xiang Yu pondered and pondered, and found that this is not a matter that the two of them can settle down here, although Xiang Yu himself can indeed call the shots about the Huns, but Yinggao has put forward so many proposals that seem to be beneficial to the Huns, at least they have to fall on it in black and white, right?

To put it simply, Xiang Yu found that if he really agreed to the conditions that Ying Gao had said before, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to signing an alliance with Daqin.

The Xiongnu and Daqin, those are two countries, so this matter must be raised to the political level, that is to say, Xiang Yu must bring people to Yinggao to write all the things he said before on black and white, so that even if Yinggao wants to regret it when the time comes, Xiang Yu can at least expose him in front of the people of the Xiongnu and the people of Daqin, right?

"What I said today is just to give Shan Yu a front stop, if the Shan Yu I said before thinks it is feasible in my heart, then Shan Yu can talk about this matter with your cronies when he returns to the Xiongnu this time, if Shan Yu finally agrees to these proposals of mine, I will sign an alliance with the Xiongnu on behalf of Great Qin, and our common enemy in the future is the Mauryan Dynasty, after the destruction of the Peacock Dynasty, if Shan Yu is willing, he can work with me to occupy all the land that can be explored, of course, it is Shan Yu wants to restore the country to Chu, It's a no-brainer. ”

Yinggao's last sentence made Xiang Yu's eyes light up, and Yinggao also remembered this detail in his mind.

In fact, for Ying Gao, if he wants to destroy the Peacock Dynasty and see if he can find a gap near the border that later generations know to lead to the Peacock Dynasty, does he have to need Xiang Yu?

Yinggao already has an answer to this question in his heart, that is, he doesn't necessarily need Xiang Yu as a person, even if he fights bravely, Yinggao can actually find his replacement among his Great Qin generals, but there is one point, but Yinggao put Xiang Yu in his plan, and put it in a relatively important position.

Ying Gao knew how Xiang Yu had not become the Shan Yu of the Huns, and now he was already dead, either killed by the Huns, or killed by Ying Gao. Yinggao can tolerate the hostility of a Xiongnu Shan Yu standing in the sun, but he can never tolerate an anti-Qin person who hides in the shadows and is bent on revenge, just like a player like Zhang Liang.

And after Xiang Yu became the Shan Yu of the Huns, Yinggao saw an opportunity to temporarily stabilize the Huns who treated Daqin like enemies. And the fact is indeed that it developed as Ying Gao imagined, Xiang Yu brought the concept of the Central Plains people into the Xiongnu, although he also had a grudge against Daqin, but he knew that it was only the Xiongnu who would die with Daqin in the end.

Xiang Yu has such a reason, even if he is a manufacturable material in Yinggao's heart, Yinggao can use Xiang Yu's current reason to do a lot of things, and the large barren land he proposed is located in the southwest of the Xiongnu, which is naturally the Tibetan area of later generations.

The location of Tibet is actually not close to the Xiongnu, but the reason why Yinggao invited Xiang Yu is because he knows that in the middle of rushing from the Xiongnu to Tibet, there should still be many fertile pastures, and if Xiang Yu can really help him find a way to enter the Peacock Dynasty from the land, he is almost certain that his plan is half completed.

The Xiongnu is a neighbor to Daqin, and a restless neighbor, Yinggao actually doesn't want this neighbor, but now the Huns have hundreds of thousands of cavalry, not to mention Yinggao can't wipe out the Xiongnu, even if he has this strength and really does that, Daqin's losses will definitely not be small.

In that case, if Ying Gao wanted to send a hundred and eighty warships to attack the Peacock Dynasty, even if all the strength of Great Qin was drained, it would be enough to do it.

In such a situation, Yinggao thought of the truth that it is better to block than to be sparse, so he thought of a trick to take the sword sideways, on the one hand, he could reduce the pressure on himself when attacking the Mauryan Dynasty and even other more powerful enemies in the future, and on the other hand, he could also lead his Xiongnu neighbor to the east and bring the entire area of China in later generations into the territory of Great Qin, which is Yinggao's ultimate goal.

Although Yinggao wants to conquer many places, he does not want to leave his homeland, and Daqin is his eternal base camp.

At the same time, Yinggao believed that if Xiang Yu and the Huns discovered a large area of rich land like the Peacock Empire, he would not be willing to return to the Xiongnu territory to live a nomadic life, so that Yinggao's goal would be achieved.

"Good! Since Your Excellency has already prepared it, and allow Xiang Yu to go back and discuss for a while, there will be an answer in two days! ”

Xiang Yu is not a hesitant person, he knows that today's negotiation is already very in-depth, and the dry goods have already come out, and the rest is what he agrees or disagrees with, so Xiang Yu arched his hand at Yinggao and was ready to say goodbye.

"Well, two days later, I will build a high platform here, if you agree to this, you and I will sign an alliance between the two countries on that high platform, so that the soldiers of Great Qin and the Huns can testify!"

Although he knew that Yinggao was a guy who was powerless and could only defend himself with the Qin crossbow in his pocket, Xiang Yu found that he still had a heroic spirit in his body at this time, so Xiang Yu also readily agreed to this matter, and after that, the two drank a cup together in the carriage, and finally Xiang Yu took the lead in getting out of the carriage.

Seeing Xiang Yu get out of the car, the Zhu family and the others all widened their eyes, for fear that Yinggao and Tian Yan would have something wrong inside.

In this short period of time, a few of them paid attention to the movement in the car all the time, although they also heard a lot of Yinggao and Xiang Yu's discussions intentionally or unintentionally, but they couldn't care so much, whether they knew what they shouldn't know, it was their ultimate task to let Yinggao return safely.

In the anxious waiting of Long Ji and Ji Bu, they saw that Xiang Yu still returned to his team in a heroic manner, and they finally let out a long breath.

Obviously, there was no trust between the Xiongnu and Daqin before this, and both sides thought that the other party was a wolf ambition, and they were happy to put their leader to death, but through this time Yinggao and Xiang Yu were all safe and sound, and the piece of ice in the hearts of both sides also faintly showed some signs of melting.

After returning to Shangjun, Yinggao didn't say anything else, and directly found out Lu Jia, the only one he brought this time who was not a general, Lu Jia originally saw that Yinggao had to let himself come to Shangjun and was very puzzled, but at this time, Yinggao finally summoned himself alone, and knew that compared to those generals, he estimated that it was a little special.

"What I say, you have to write it down in the most formal language, as an alliance between my Great Qin and the Xiongnu, this matter is important, and there must be no mistakes!"

"The Covenant? Your Majesty, it is ......"

"Don't ask about those useless things, when I've said them all, don't you know what's going on?"

As soon as I heard that Yinggao was going to sign some alliance with the Huns, Lu Jia was taken aback, and the Huns were no different from tigers and wolves in the eyes of those of them who were scholars, and they would eat people at every turn.

Now Yinggao actually wants to sign an alliance with the Xiongnu, and it is under the condition that Daqin's strength is far stronger than that of the Xiongnu, which completely made Lu Jia not expect that in his heart, no matter what the content of this covenant is, Yinggao is no different from doing death.

But in the face of Yinggao's reprimand, Lu Jia naturally didn't dare to refute anything, so he could only pick up bamboo slips and pen and ink at the moment, and wait for Yinggao to speak.

When Ying Gao slowly said the content of the covenant he signed with Xiang Yu word by word, Lu Jia was completely blinded.

What is the Mauryan Empire? I haven't even heard of it, but Xiang Yu actually agreed to attack them front and back with you? There is a large area of borderless land in the southwest of the Xiongnu, and it is possible that it is only separated from this peacock kingdom by a little mountain or something? Where did this gentleman know, I've read so many books, why don't I know anything about these things?

Yinggao's words and sentences are like opening a new continent for Lu Jia, although he is relatively upright, what to say, not as smooth as Yinggao's partner Chen Ping, who was later assigned to him.

But Lu Jia's thinking is extremely innovative and divergent, otherwise how could he have thought of fusing the strengths and weaknesses of several schools of thought to form a new set of theories, which would be so unpopular in the world?

After more than half an hour, Ying Gao finally finished the content of the covenant slowly, and then recalled some things he had missed and told Lu Jia, asking him to sort out the covenant and write two volumes.

Ying Gao didn't believe that Xiang Yu would reject his proposal after thinking about it for two days, he was confident that Xiang Yu would definitely become more and more interested in his proposal after he returned.

Because every word he said to Xiang Yu in the carriage before was tailored by himself according to Xiang Yu's temperament and actual situation, although there was no element of lying, but it would also make Xiang Yu fall into it and couldn't extricate himself.

"Jun ...... Your Majesty, do I really want to join forces with the Huns to explore that large area of barren land located in the southwest of the Xiongnu and west of my Great Qin Bashu, and find a way out to the Peacock Dynasty? ”

When Yinggao was seriously reviewing the covenant that Lu Jia had just transcribed to see if he had left something behind, Lu Jia suddenly asked such a sentence, which made Yinggao frown, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and he said that this guy was not such a visionary person before.

"I've already asked you to write into this covenant, can you still fool the Huns?"

"That'...... I wonder if you can let Lu Jia go to this barren place to explore? ”

What Ying Gao never expected was that Lu Jia's next sentence turned out to be like this, what kind of conditions the barren land was, even Ying Gao himself couldn't say well.

After more than 2,000 years, it has been transformed by an unknown number of people, and it is still the most harsh place in the entire Chinese climate, and now whether people can survive in that place intact is two words, let alone find the border of the Mauryan Empire and find a way to pass through.

"Do you know what's at stake? Once encountering the extreme climate in that barren land, even if it is hundreds, thousands, it is very likely that none of them will be spared, the Huns will always be able to survive the cold winter, and most of the horsemen are very exquisite, but they can cope with one or two, but you ...... I'm afraid it's unbearable, if you die in that barren land, won't I have a right-hand man? ”

Ying Gao said this, then he really wasn't scaring Lu Jia, no matter what, he was a civil official, and his body bones were already poor, in case of wind and snow, in what extreme weather, although it might be a little stronger than sailing on the sea, but Ying Gao felt that it should not be much stronger.

"Your Majesty, now that the internal affairs of my Great Qin have stabilized, there should be no major changes to Qin Law in recent years, even if there are any major changes, Zuo Xiang and Chen Ping are both geniuses in the world, with them, it is enough to satisfy the monarch, those Huns are indeed better than us, but they don't know how to take advantage of the time and place, if they don't send a person in charge to guide, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed within the time required by the monarch, if the monarch does not give up, Lu Jia is willing to be the person in charge of exploring the barren land this time, I hope you will be perfect! ”

Yinggao really didn't expect that Lu Jia's ambition would be in such a place, he really didn't know how to say it at this time, who should be the person in charge of the exploration, he really didn't think about it very seriously, but this matter really has to be decided after signing the covenant, and it is certain that ordinary people are unwilling to go, now that there is a person sent to the door, it seems that there is a great possibility to do this well, but it makes Yinggao a little moved.

"If you really have this determination, you must practice your riding skills within a month, and if you can't ride your horse to gallop back and forth in all kinds of terrain, I won't let you go!"

"Lu Jia, thank you! Lu Jia will definitely complete your request within a month! As soon as Lu Jia heard this, he knew that there was still a door to this matter, what could Yinggao prove by saying this, it proved that he attached great importance to himself!
