Chapter 12 Cognition
The feast was dissolved because of the contest, and the next day some of the Qiang people rowed back, but most of them stayed. The threat of the Qin people once caused the Qiang people to abandon their ancestral land and move westward, and the reason why they moved west was because of their backward weapons and tactics, and they could not defeat the Qin people.
or stay out of the matter and be expelled by the Qin army in the future; Either attack Qin with the Chu army, obtain stronger technology and tactics than the Qin people, and fight for a place for their own people, there is no other choice during this period. Not only did the Qiang people have no choice, but also the tribe where the Qiang belonged did not choose, they only returned a small number of people, taking the corpse of the Qiang, and the rest had to stay - if they left, they would be trampled under the feet of other tribes who had obtained the technology in the future.
The choice of the Qiang people made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and the next morning the Great Sima Mansion sent a flying message, the Qin envoy had just left the Qiang land, and he brought many pearls, jade, brocade and silk beauties, all kinds of signs indicated that the covenant between the two sides would soon be reached.
Everything is in danger, but Dou Yu Pheasant once again raised the question that made Xiong Jing unhappy: "The king, the Qiang people have no leader today, and the ministers are invited to be the generals of the Shangqi Dao." Chen Cangdao, please take Chengtong as the general, and Linwu Jun will assist him. ”
"You want to be the general of the upper road?" The competition lasted only a quarter of an hour, but Xiong Jing seemed to have fought hard for three or four days, and although he slept well, he still felt very sleepy the next day.
"Yes, yes." Dou Yu Pheasant nodded affirmatively. "Otherwise, there will be chaos on the left."
"You're on the left and you're in the middle?" Xiong Jing was not only tired, but his thoughts were also dull, and only then did he think of Dou Yu Pheasant and mention Pang Nuan again. He didn't have the strength to oppose it as resolutely as he did last time, and said: "The widow only allows Chengtong to be the general of Chen Cangdao, as for who he is the general, the widow doesn't need to know......"
"Your Majesty," Nao Xin came in again, and the news he brought was more irritating to Xiong Jing's nerves than Dou Yu Pheasant's request. "It is reported that the King of Qin has sent an envoy to the Xiongnu to ask for the craftsmen from the west who were previously detained."
"Really?!" Xiong Jing was taken aback. During this time, there were many reports about the saltpeter and the many craftsmen from the Mediterranean, which gave him many bad associations. "The Qin people must not be allowed to claim back the craftsmen!"
He couldn't help but shout, but unfortunately the others didn't react. The news of the Xiongnu was sent by Duan Quan, a big animal husbandry merchant, with carrier pigeons, which could only fly to Yingdu, not back to the grassland, and the matter of the Central Plains had to be transmitted to Duan Quan.
"One more thing." Nao Xin took a deep breath and said again. "Brimstone to the top."
"Ahh This time, not only Xiong Jing was surprised, but Dou Yu Pheasant and others were also surprised to look at Nao Xin when they heard this.
"Where's the brimstone?!" Xiong Jing stretched out his hand and asked urgently, this accidentally affected the injury in his abdomen, and he snorted.
"In Donghu." Nao channel. "I know that Pisi has sent people from Liaodong to Donghu."
Although the Sogdians were cunning and philistine, since they had received the silver coins from the Chu State, they could only keep their original promise to bring sulfur. About half a month earlier than Ganluo, Meng Yi and others, the caravan set off from Sogdiana. At this time, Wang Ben led an army to raid the Yan Dynasty, and there were many Zhao people who escaped on the grassland outside the Daidi. The caravan knew that it could not go south, and under the urging of Lu Yangyan, the general of the guards, the group continued to the east and entered the boundary of Donghu.
Donghu is east of the Xiongnu and north of the Great Wall of Yan. The specific location of the royal court was between Chifeng, Linxi and Tongliao in later generations. The Great Khing'an Mountains come slowly from the northeast, and are basically cut off when they reach Chifeng, and the Yanshan Mountains are in an east-west direction, and its northern foot also stops at Chifeng.
Sandwiched between the two mountain ranges, it is natural to form a lowland corridor between the Mongolian Plateau and the Northeast Plain, through which the Sila Mulun River flows. Regardless of ancient or modern, this is a strategic location, although Donghu is nomadic, the royal court has been near the Xilamulun River to dominate the various tribes in the east and west of the Great Khing'an Mountains.
The state of Chu did not have direct contact with Donghu, and naturally there was no grudge. There is no problem for the caravan to enter the land of Donghu safely, but the Qin people occupy the land of Zhao Yan, and how to transport the sulfur from outside the Great Wall back is the problem.
"Map." Xiong Jing calmed down, and had to get the sulfur back as soon as possible, even if it was a small half.
Outside the Yan Great Wall, Liaodong County has been extended to the east of the Yalu River in later generations, Xiong Jing naturally thought of the Tumen River in later generations, but Liaodong is all mountainous, and the safest is to go north to Heilongjiang and go to sea from Heilongjiang or Songhua River. The northeast water system is not complicated, but unfortunately it is not depicted on the map, and Xiong Jing can't remember it clearly, but no matter how you go, it is very far away.
"The minister thought that he might be able to send someone through Liaodong County to the court of the king of Donghu, and said that the king of Donghu should send troops to escort the sulfur at the mouth of Liaoshui, and make an appointment with the boat master to bring back the geometry." Seeing that Xiong Jing was at a loss, Nao Xin gave his own advice.
"Good." There is no better way to get the sulphur as quickly as possible.
"There is no shortage of pack horses in Donghu, please allow the king to give Donghu soldiers a thank you." Again, this is actually my suggestion.
"Armor?" Xiong Jing hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If King Donghu is willing to send troops to cross the Great Wall and enter Liaodong County to send sulfur to the mouth of the Liao River, he can give 3,000 sets of armor." ”
"Respectfully obey the order!" Naoxin was overjoyed. The import of armor into the grassland tribes was extremely cautious, and compared with the Xiongnu, who had already used iron tools, Donghu was still copper armor, and 3,000 sets of huge iron armor were enough for the Donghu people to invade Liaodong County and escort sulfur to the mouth of the Liao River.
"This needs to be done quickly." Xiong Jing reminded that saltpeter and sulfur are available, which is a double happiness. Thinking of those saltpeter craftsmen again, he said: "The few people heard that the Xiongnu had previously submitted to Donghu, and asked the king of Donghu to order the Xiongnu Touman not to hand over the craftsmen to the Qin people." ”
"Yui." Xiong Jing didn't mention this, and he knew that the Hou spy would also mention this. Nao Xin agreed and went in a hurry.
As long as it is a trading place for the sea boat of the Chu State, there will be a Hou spy who knows the other side. Behind the Qin army's siege of the city, there were chess pieces left by Zhibisi everywhere. As soon as Nao Xin sent a message to Yingdu, asking the people of Liaodong to go to Donghu again, the secret protection was sent from Yingdu, and it was transmitted to Zhifu in Qi through the flying message, and the Vietnamese warships in Zhifu Harbor hurriedly left the port and sailed to Liaodong Bay on the other side of the sea.
When the Yue warboat hurriedly left the port, the Qin envoy Wu Nu was already standing in Shan Yu's royal court.
"Da Qin and Shan Yuben have no grudges." Wu Nu said loudly, "It was King Jing who attacked Qin from the Saiwai grassland a few years ago and took away King Qin's wife, so King Qin ordered General Zhao Yong to search Henan, and he was worried that King Jing and Zhao would attack Qin from Henan again in the future, so he drove all the tribes of Henan out of Henan and occupied Yin Mountain, inadvertently offending Shan Yu ......."
Wu Nu is good at dealing with King Rong, and knows what they want to hear and what they hate. Sure enough, as soon as he said the reason why the Qin State invaded and occupied the Yin Mountain in Henan, and then heard that King Jing had taken the wife of the King of Qin, including Tou Man, the people were surprised. "Is there such a thing?"
"It's true, King Qin regards this matter as a great shame." Wu Nu nodded repeatedly. "Later, King Jing invaded Xianyang, burned the altar of King Qin to worship his ancestors, and burned the entire Xianyang, and the Qin people suffered countless casualties, which is an inhuman act."
"Then King Qin must hate him deeply." robbed other people's wives, and burned other people's altars to worship their ancestors, standing on a fair standpoint, the king of Chu was indeed too much. Even if Tou Man regarded the Qin people as enemies, it did not prevent him from judging these conflicts of Chu and Qin from a fair standpoint.
"But I heard," Wu Nu didn't lie, he just intercepted a fragment of the incident to misunderstand, and Duan Quan, a big businessman present, couldn't help but remind him. "It was the King of Qin who burned the altar of the King of Chu first, it was not the wife of the King of Qin who was snatched away by the King of Chu, it was the King of Chu who said to the woman before that he must make her his queen, and then the King of Qin asked this woman to be his concubine......"
"Slander." Wu Nu's eyes widened, "This is the slanderous words of the Jing people. The Jing people have a newspaper called a newspaper, which is full of slanderous words, and they especially like to slander the Qin people. ”
"Slanderous words? Laugh at! Duan Quan scoffed at this, "There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent. One look at the city, and then the country......" He naturally read out a passage. "This is the Chu speech made by the king of Chu for that woman, and the king of Qin is not married at this time. Qin makes you full of lies, what do you want? ”
"I came to make friends with the Xiongnu for the Qin State." Wu Nude looked at Duan Quan, and the two sides looked at each other, sniffing out the smell of the other place. "Speak for the Jing people everywhere, can you be the envoys of the Jing people? What are the benefits? ”
"Although I am not an envoy of the Chu State, I am true to my word and never repent." Duan Quan said with a smile. "Please know that the chiefs of all departments must know that the Qin people do not believe in God, and they can't believe half a word of his words."
"What a slander!" Wu Nu was even more anxious: "The king sacrifices to heaven every year, how can he not believe in God?" If it weren't for God's blessing, how could Qin become the overlord of the world? ”
"The Qin people are greedy and profitless, and they are also worthy of believing in God? The Qin State and the Chu State fought each battle, each battle was defeated, the corpses piled up like a mountain, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers died, which is also God's blessing? Duan Quan laughed angrily. Those who do not believe in God will not believe in Him, and this is a grassland cognition that no matter how good it is, it cannot be reversed. This also includes the idea that one king cannot kill another, otherwise God will punish him.
As he spoke, Lan Mo, the Xiangfeng, also spoke in Touman's ear, telling the facts he knew, and as he told him, Touman's naked gaze began to look a little strange, and finally became cold.
"Listen to me." Wu Nu knew the customs and cognition of the grassland, and hurriedly spoke before Touman drove him out. "Those who are left behind by Shan Yu are guests invited by the King of Qin from the Land of the Far West, and the master must protect his guests. If Shan Yu is willing to return these guests, the King of Qin is willing to return Yinshan to Shan Yu, and the two countries will be bounded by the Great River in the future. Henan can also graze in the land, as long as the two countries are reconciled forever, do not increase the number of soldiers......"
As soon as these words came out, the dome was full of inhaling sounds, and everyone's hearts were beating violently and their eyes were all wide. Yinshan and Henan are extremely important to the grassland, and every winter the tribe will drive cattle and sheep to Henan to spend the winter. The grassland is the enemy of the Qin State, isn't it precisely for the sake of Yinshan and Henan?
