Three years ago, taking advantage of the Great Search Jing King, the Qin people not only took away the land of Henan, but also occupied Yinshan. For the Hurong Xiongnu, Henan and Yinshan have been nomadic lands since ancient times, and the Qin people have no reason to expand their land for thousands of miles, infiltrating their forces to the north of Yinshan, and naturally become the mortal enemies of all tribes.

It's just that the sky south of the Great Wall has been very different in recent years, and the grassland is also very different. The rivers dried up and the grasslands shrank, and to the east there was Donghu, which occupied the steppes of the Xilin Gol League and the Hulunbuir steppes of later generations—there was military geography within the Great Wall, and the same was true on the grasslands. But if any tribe controls the Hulunbuir grassland, which tribe will rise on the grassland;

To the west of it there is the Yueshi, and the Yueshi people occupy the Ili grassland in the north of the Tianshan Mountains. The Ili grassland is similar to Hulunbuir, as long as the tribe occupies the Ili grassland, which tribe can grow and control the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.

The life of the Xiongnu who lived in the bitter cold land of Mobei was not easy, although everyone hated the Qin State (and did not like the Zhao State very much), but the Qin people did not kill or did not kill. Without the Sogdian merchants, the tribe's livelihood would have been even more difficult. The Xiongnu were not only the Xiongnu themselves, but also the Sogdian merchants west of the Altai Mountains. Once the Xiongnu Empire, which was more difficult to maintain than the agrarian civilization to maintain its imperial rule, cut off trade, internal strife would occur. Treating businessmen well, like their wives and concubines, is the foundation of the survival of the grassland tribes.

This is true of reality, and so is faith. The sacrifice of the Xiongnu is no less than that of the Central Plains, and the objects of sacrifice are not only ancestors, but also heaven and earth and ghosts. Since he had promised the Sogdians, God would punish him if he broke his promise. Zhao Ao hated the Qin people to the core, but he asked for his life at this time, Touman didn't speak at all, only Xiang Feng Lan Mo stopped him.

The state of Zhao has died, and many of the Zhao people who did not move south have fled the grassland and asked to be taken in. Adhering to the tribal tradition of 'choosing the inner surname from the relatives and the outer surname from the old', most tribes did not want to take in the Zhao people, but some people suggested taking in the Zhao people, Touman's Xiangfeng Lan Mo was one of them, and in the laughter of the rest, he pulled Zhao Ao out of the big tent and invited him to his own tent.

"The Qin people pass to the west of Kunlun, if they get the craftsmen of the extreme west..., it will be a great harm to me." Zhao controlled the eastern end of the Silk Road, and Zhao Ao lived in Yanmen County, so he naturally knew what the extreme west represented, which was why he wanted to describe the group of Egyptian craftsmen as Qin.

"The craftsman, the dragon horse, and the chariot have all been stopped, so what else does the general have to worry about?" Lan Mo wore his hair, but unlike Touman and the group of horsemen, he wore a common robe for doctors in the Central Plains, with a conspicuous gold seal on his belt. This is Xiangyin, he is the Xiangbang of Touman. He can also speak Yayan that other Hu people don't understand.

......The yellow-skinned Egyptian craftsman stopped him, but the white-skinned Greek craftsman did not stop.

"Bai Di people or Yue people, no." The Baidi people west of Kunlun dared to kill, but the Huns did not dare to kill. "And they are just Lu Li's craftsmen, what is the use of Lu Li and the country?"

Since a few years ago, Lu Li has not been a rare item. No matter how good Lu Lijing is, it is enough to have some. So for the sake of Zhao Ao's face, he temporarily detained those 'Qin people' craftsmen, instead of killing them.

Lan Mo felt that those craftsmen were not very useful, and Zhao Ao couldn't tell what those craftsmen were for, he was just sensitive to the extreme west. He thought about it, Lan Mo had asked the servant to pour wine, and the two talked while drinking.

"What is the difference between the dragon horse obtained today and the dragon horse of the king of Chu?" The Zhao people who defected to Shan Yu were an important channel for the grassland to understand the Central Plains, and Lan Mo often drank with Zhao Ao a lot of times, and the most talked about was the Chu State and the King of Chu.

"The dragon horse obtained today is the horse of Great Xia." Zhao Ao is the captain of the Zhao army, and he is under the command of Li Mu, so he doesn't know much about horses. "The Qijun is the Qijun, but compared to the Dragon Horse of the Chu State, it is also light."

"Light?" Lan was puzzled. "The light is fast, is it heavy?"

"......" Zhao Ao smiled slightly, and under Lan Mo's gaze, he hesitated again and again, but still spoke: "The horse that is armored must be heavy." In the past, the king of Chu bought horses from Zhao, and they all wanted heavy horses, and only heavy horses could be charged by A. ”

From the moment he saw the stirrups, Lan Mo frequently asked about the dragon horse of the king of Chu and the dragon horse under his command, and of course, the Qin people's domain horse. It is a very surprising thing that the cavalry tactics of the farming people of the Central Plains are superior to those of the steppe tribes, but this is the fact, and the helpless fact that the Hun cavalry did not dare to go south.

"In this way, the Qin people have no heavy horses." Lan Mo was silent for a while before he asked this sentence.

"Qin asked for a dragon horse, but none of them could be. Today, Ryoma was intercepted by Shan Yu again, and this great goodness is also. Zhao Aoyan laughed at this, and drank all the wine. I heard that the heavy cavalry and cavalry of the Chu army were all armored, and from a distance it looked like an iron tower, and arrows, spears and halberds could not be injured. The dragon horse of Chu State was already tall, and the horsemen were as strong as a mountain, and the Qin people were not afraid to see it. The Qin people are light horses, so they can only be leather armor, and the battle between the Zhao army and the former can be broken by the heavy iron arrows of the Chu State within thirty steps.

Once the leather armor was shot through, the cavalry would hiss and jump wildly, not forming an array, and not charging into formation, so our army won a great victory in that battle......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ao drank a few more fine wines. If the general does not die, the state of Zhao will not die; Zhao will not die, and he will not take his subordinates to defect to the Xiongnu. The world is unpredictable, and who would have thought that the enemies of the past would now drink and talk merrily.

Lan Mo, who can speak Yayan, also knows Zhao Ren's thoughts. None of them miss the Zhao State, but the Zhao State has died, and the Qin army swept the Yan Dynasty at the beginning of the year. For the Zhao people in the land of the Yan Dynasty, the Zhao royal court was the main culprit for the killing of the great general Li Mu, so they preferred to defect to the Xiongnu Donghu rather than to the Liang royal court.

"The general is drunk." Lan Mo sighed in his heart and waved his hand to summon the beauty. Many of the beauties of the grassland are also Zhao women, and the cordial folk voice soothes Zhao Ao's heart, and soon he gets drunk.

Getting Zhao Ao drunk was to prevent him from hating the Qin people too much, and led his troops to chase and kill the Qin people in the middle of the night. If such a thing really happens, Lan Mo, the person who recommended him, will not be able to escape the blame. It's just a matter of condemnation, the key is that this will destroy the rise of the Xiongnu. Lan Mo, who is familiar with the world, knows very well that if the state wants to prosper, it must recruit talents, and the tribal elders cannot rely on it-

If the old system works, then what is it for? It was precisely because the old system was useless and could not protect the people and livestock of the tribes that the tribal chiefs would be happy and submit to the Twin Clans as Shan Yu.

The Qin state in the south wants to unify the world, and if it can summon those who do not want to return to Qin, the Xiongnu will definitely be strong. This kind of strength is a kind of self-preservation in Lan Mo's view, the grassland wants very few things, one is to have a nomadic land, Henan and Yinshan have belonged to the grassland since ancient times and do not belong to the world, and the Qin people must return these two places; The second is commerce, without which the tribe would not have prospered. Finally, when God sends a penalty, the steppe tribes will have a place of refuge (captivity).

This is not only his idea of being single-minded, but also the idea of various departments of the grassland. But only he knows how to achieve this, and others can't do it because of the old system and tradition.

On a summer night on the grassland, accompanied by the music and frolic in the big tent, Lan Mo wrote down what Zhao Ao said today on the Chu paper. The Qin mission, which had been sacked during the day, was afraid that the Huns would change their minds, so they fled overnight, and the trip of more than ten days was completed in six days. Crossing the Yin Mountain is the Qin State, and Xianyang, who had long known what the mission had encountered, had ordered the carriage and horses to wait in Jiuyuan County, and Gan Luo and the others were sent to Xianyang as soon as they arrived in Jiuyuan.

Xianyang is still prosperous. At the beginning of this year, the general Wang Jian broke the Qi people, so frightened that the Qi people only dared to retreat to Linzi. Then the Qin army unexpectedly attacked the Yan Dynasty and swept away the Zhao people's king, and the country was stronger. The restaurants and wine shops in Xianyang City, everyone said that Daqin would be down one day. Ganluo Mengyi, who hurried back from outside the territory, only heard about the situation in the world on the road, especially heard about the battle of the great general Wang Jian to break the Qi people, and it is a pity that Wang Jian has not yet been crowned.

"Chen Ganluo/Meng Yi meets the king." The chief and deputy envoys saluted Zhao Zheng first, and the Egyptian envoy Palops was a little arrogant, he was a Macedonian, so he was not captured by the Huns. Refusing to salute, he first complained that the Qin State had not protected the safety of the mission, and that dozens of alchemists, craftsmen, and his high-ranking servants had been taken captive by the steppe barbarians, and their fate was uncertain.

At the same time, he also questioned Zhao Zheng, how could such a country defeat the Chuni people? Macedonia's northern borders were also often invaded by the Scythians, but every generation of Macedonian kings was able to defeat the Scythians.

Palops, who was proficient in the art of debate, gushed endlessly, and his Greek could only be understood by Aristotle IV and Wuji, who were in charge of translation, and Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, Wang Xuan, the prime minister, and Wei Wei, the state captain, were completely unaware of what he was talking about. Waiting for Wu Ji to tell each other tactfully, Zhao Zheng, who was cold-faced, said expressionlessly: "What is the messenger's plan?" ”

"The king, the messenger said, or the craftsman who can redeem him." Needless to say.

"Redeem the craftsman......" Zhao Zheng pondered, and Wang Juan and Wei Yi also pondered. There seems to be no precedent for redemption in the world. But if you don't redeem the artisans, how can you make a witch potion?

"Bring back the Artisan Geometry?" Zhao Zheng didn't ask about anything, Wei Yi asked anxiously. The Huns did not take all the craftsmen captive.

"The remaining eight Bai Di craftsmen." "However, none of them know the art of witchcraft. ”

Witch medicine is what Daqin likes, hearing that these eight Bai Di craftsmen don't know how to make witch medicine, the face of the monarch and the minister changed again, Wang Juan couldn't help but say: "If the Xiongnu knows the method of witch medicine......

If the Xiongnu knew about making witchcraft, then the Qin State would be in danger. Not only is the Qin State in danger, but the world is also in danger. Thinking of this danger, Zhao Zheng stretched out his hand again and again, and said, "Quickly summon the naked!" ”

"My lord," Wang Wan said. "Wu Nu is far away in Yan's stopper, go to Xianyang and then go out of the stopper, slow down. If you don't want to go out of the Huns to meet the Huns, it is important to redeem the craftsmen of the Egyptians. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal." Wei Yi also said. "The Huns thought they were land-leaving craftsmen, or they could be redeemed."

Ganro couldn't understand Hu, but the Sogdians did. Zhao Ao detained the group of Egyptian craftsmen in the name of making land, as long as there are benefits, the Xiongnu may not agree.

"No. The fast-lived black naked out of the plug will be in the Huns. They were craftsmen from other countries, left by the Huns, and the Great Qin lost the friendship of the landlord. Zhao Zheng secretly thought about the reason in his heart, thinking that in the end, he could only ask the Xiongnu to return it as a landlord. As for Palopus, who complained arrogantly, he was not angry, and asked: "The land of the widow is ten thousand miles, and the armor is a million, and corn can fill the sea in the earth." Zhao Yong, the former general, 50,000 armor soldiers drove the Xiongnu to the north of Qinshan, I don't know the geometry of the Egyptian armor? ”

Macedonian Athens, with only two or three million people, Egypt with only five or six million, and Seleucus, with a population of less than 10 million, it is indeed difficult to imagine that Great Qin, with a population of more than 10 million, is equivalent to an empire of Alexander that spans Europe, Asia and Africa. Even if such a population can be imagined, it is difficult to imagine the Qin army under the general mobilization system.

In fact, in terms of mobilization rate alone, the Romans in the Second Punic War were not inferior to the Great Qin, but the Roman population was too small (about 3 million) and the number of troops was too far from the 'million army' to be noticed. If the mobilization rate of the Romans at that time was transferred to Great Qin, the million-strong army would not be unusual.

Instead of answering Zhao Zheng's words directly, Palops asked his compatriot, Aristotle IV of Toga, Greece. He instinctively did not believe in the Orientals, and did not even believe in Aristotle IV very much. In his opinion, Aristotle IV did not differ much from the Greek mercenaries who were bought by Persian gold.

No one knew what the Egyptian envoy and Lord Bai Di were talking about, but after the conversation, Palops was no longer as arrogant as he had just been, and he bowed to Zhao Zheng with Greek etiquette and presented the Egyptian credentials:

'His Majesty Ptolemy III, Merciful Benefactor, Lord of Upper and Lower Egypt, Supreme King of Ptolemy, Son of Rehras, Son of Tosta, Incarnation of Amun God on Earth, Great Pharaoh, Ptolemy III greets His Majesty, King of the Kingdom of Qinni in the Far East......

The right history behind Zhao Zheng hurriedly wrote on the slip: "The envoys of the Egyptian country were arrogant when they were admonished, and the king reprimanded them and said: 'The country of the widow has thousands of miles, the place is million, the spear halberd can cast the Dahra stone pillar, and the corn can fill the sea in the ground. Zhao Yong, the former general, drove the Xiongnu to the north of Qinshan Mountain, and I don't know the geometry of the Egyptian soldiers? When the people heard this, they were afraid of Daqin. ’

Receiving the Egyptian envoys, meeting with the Great Xia envoys and generals, rewarding the Sogdian merchants, and then, when the envoys rested temporarily in the post house, Zhao Zheng sighed deeply in the Ming Hall of Qutai Palace, where everyone was left with only Wei Wei.

Wang Jian defeated the Qi army, the Qi people were not dead, and they could only retreat four hundred miles to garrison Linzi, in fact, Linzi was also ready to give up, the king of Qi had gone to Jimo in vain, and planned to defend the east of Weishui with the assistance of the Jing people and the Zhao people.

Although the Jing people quickly retreated to Fangcheng, from the beginning of summer, they took advantage of the rising tide of the water (upper reaches of the Han River) to launch a new offensive in the direction of Chencang Road. The most terrifying thing is that the Jing people also instigated the Qiang people and let the Qiang people attack Longxi - they just burned the war to the backyard of the Jing people, and the Jing people also burned the war to their own backyard.

"Will it be so?" After a long time, Zhao Zheng asked, this is not the first time he has asked.

"It has to be." Wei Yu is not the first time to answer, he said: "If you don't do this, you will break the pass, and if you break the pass, you will be in danger." ”

"Fusu is still young!" Zhao Zheng's hesitant voice.

"If the king doesn't support Su, why do the Qiang people believe me?" Wei Yu said. "Please think twice, the king."
