"What does Mr. Gongsun mean?" Jing Er didn't bother to think about it, so he simply asked Gongsun Long directly.

"What the minister means is that the army is not on call at any time. As long as the news of Pingliang's loss is obtained, the army will immediately set out to recapture Pingliang. Presumably, the Donghu people will definitely suffer heavy losses if they take Pingliang, and at this time, the dispatch of a large army will definitely be a battle. ”

"Mr. Gongsun's words are reasonable, Pingliang City is a rare barrier in the northwest. It must not fall into the hands of the Donghu people, after they broke through Pingliang and looted. Presumably, there is not much thought of a decisive battle, and who doesn't want to go home after making a fortune. If you send troops at this time, you will definitely win a big victory. Jing Er quickly understood what Gongsun Long meant. His Majesty, the great Jing Er, decided to play a game of praying mantis catching cicadas. I am the yellow finch that has been hiding. Jing Er fiddled with the chess pieces in his hand, he liked the feeling of being a yellow finch.

Yun Yue sat in the study, her fingers tapping on the bed-sized desk. This was his standard action when thinking about things, and neither Lao Jiang nor Zheng Bin, who were sitting across the desk, spoke. After waiting for Hou Ye to think about it, he made a decision. Since he followed Hou Ye, it seems that his decision has not been missed.

"Old ginger! When I went to check the origin of the Donghu people, I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say it. "These old gingers are like spider webs in Xianyang, weaving a huge intelligence web. The old ginger is like a spider sitting in the middle of the cobweb, and as long as he wants to know, there is nothing that can be hidden from him.

"Whoa! Someone has been sent to check, and it is estimated that there will be news soon. However, this is a strange thing, the Donghu people live in the north of the Yan Kingdom. There are a lot of people who come to Daqin to do business, but most of them go to our Pingliang. There are fewer people who come to Xianyang, and even fewer people spend the winter in Xianyang.

In addition to horses and livestock, the things that the Donghu people came to trade were only some specialties of the northern land. What is the East Pearl, that is, the kind of pearl that is relatively large. There's also something like a tree root, and they call that thing ginseng. It's a pity that the people in Guanzhong don't know that thing, and the price is very low.

The subordinates said this to mean that the Donghu people were very poor. They spent the winter in Xianyang, and they didn't have that much money in their pockets at all. I can't afford to go to the hairpin building, which is one of the best green buildings, and I also have the second room of Tianzi. The subordinates heard that the private room fee for Tianzi No. 2 alone is 100 yuan. Not to mention the cost of other drinks, and the Hou Ye also said that they spent a lot of money. The baskets worth thousands of dollars are thrown away, which shows that they are extremely rich. It is very likely that the nobles of Donghu came to Xianyang to do business. ”

Yun Yue looked at this old guy who was studying in graduate school blankly, and the more she looked at him, the more she looked like a Warring States version of Sherlock Holmes. I didn't have anything at hand, and I was stunned that the head of the analysis was the Tao. When I returned to Qin from Yan State, I walked through a period of grassland. It was on that occasion that he was attacked by the Donghu people. Yun Yue was deeply impressed by the fighting spirit of the Donghu people who were not afraid of death and their extremely cunning fighting style.

They were tougher than the Huns, and they were more cunning than the Huns. Except for a small number of people, the others seem to be much stronger than the Huns. The guy who hoped to be killed by Shao Si was not a big man of the Donghu clan. Otherwise, if the Donghu people really kill them, it will be really difficult to resist.

Yun Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she found a map and held a lamp to look at. The Donghu people were in the north of the Yan Kingdom, that is, the northeast of later generations. If you come to attack Pingliang, you can't bypass the territory of the Huns anyway.

"Dangdangdang" and "Dangdangdang" The people in the study were knocked three times in a row, and Zheng Bin walked over and opened the door with a "squeak". A man in black walked in and saluted the three people in the room: "My subordinates have seen Master Hou!" The identity of the Donghu people was inquired. ”

"Who is he?" Yun Yue asked anxiously.

"The person from the court bureau said that the person was the prince of King Donghu named Murong Xing. Also, they said they saw the corpse. The head of Murong Xing is gone. ”

"Not good!" Yun Yue's heart was alarmed.

Seeing that Yun Yue's face had changed greatly, Lao Jiang hurriedly waved away the man in black.

"I'm afraid things are not as simple as we think, this time it's going to be bad." Yun Yue pointed to the map and said, "Look, this is the territory of the Donghu people. And if they want to attack Pingliang, no matter how they go around, they will take the territory of the Huns. ”

"What does Master Hou mean?" Lao Jiang didn't understand, don't talk about wars in Donghu. The march alone will take almost a month, and when the time comes, the baggage and supplies will not be able to keep up, and it will not be an empty job. can only give the head of the Pingliang army.

"Stupid, if you were the king of Donghu, would you go to the Xiongnu Shan Yu to discuss. Let the Huns get out of the way and let them attack Pingliang. Yun Yue pointed to the map.

"If the subordinate king of Donghu is subordinate, he will definitely do this." Lao Jiang felt that Yun Yue was right, but that couldn't change the fact that the Donghu people would go on an expedition.

"That's the idea of the king of Donghu, what if you are the king of the Huns?"

"Hou Ye means ......!" Old Jiang and Zheng Bin's faces changed drastically, and they said with some horror.

"What's the benefit of letting go of the road and not helping each other, at most, no one on either side can be offended. But if the Huns unite with Donghu and use troops with Pingliang. Tell me what the outcome will be. ”

"We will face at least 300,000 Donghu and Xiongnu allied troops, and they are all extremely mobile cavalry." Old Jiang exclaimed.

"300,000 is too conservative, I think there will be at least 400,000. In recent years, the Huns have been cultivating and recuperating, and they have plundered a large number of people and livestock in Wei and Korea every year, and we have Pingliang as a place to sell stolen goods. After selling the dirt, you can also buy food and various household utensils to go back.

In recent years, life on the steppe has been much better, and the population has multiplied. As soon as the population increases, the number of people who eat increases, and the food on the grassland will not be enough. What if you don't want to starve to death, that is to rob it.

But Wei and South Korea have robbed too many times, and there is no way to grab it. Zhao has Li Mu, the military god, looking at the border between the Huaxia and the Xiongnu, where is the richest place? It's not that we're Pingliang, if my Huns are single. Pingliang City will have been coveted for a long time, as long as Pingliang is enough to eat the entire grassland for three years.

Besides, the one we fought with the Greeks was too great. Will those Hun spies in Pingliang City report to the Huns? Old ginger, it's not your fault! Yun Yue stopped the old ginger who was about to ask for sin.

"Pingliang started with trade, and there were many merchants of all kinds. This meticulous work is actually no different from the merchants, and those people of yours are not able to catch them. Unless Pingliang closes all the markets, the problem of fine work is basically unsolvable. But the market is closed, where the taxes come from. How do we feed the cool army? For now, we should try to be as prepared as possible to meet the enemy. Looks like we're going to get something new out of the place. Otherwise, this time it will be really difficult to pass. ”

"Master Hou, you just command, we have come through a lot of storms. This time, it's nothing. It's amazing, my head has fallen off a bowl and a big scar. In the next life, I will follow you! ”

"Zheng Bin, you go back to Pingliang now. Take my waist card and tell Wei Fang about the matter here. The army must be purged as soon as possible, if my guess is correct. We still have more than two months to use, and now we have to use it every moment. ”

The huge cavalry of 400,000 ethnic minorities gave Yun Yue great psychological pressure. Although this is only an estimated number, Yun Yue has continuously sent people to collect intelligence on the Huns over the years. He knew that the number was conservative. If the Huns raise a tribe to attack, I am afraid that there will be no less than 500,000 people.

500,000 troops are enough to attack any vassal state in China. What kind of scene would it be if a small Pingliang were to be besieged.

Decades later in the history books, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was besieged by the 400,000-strong Xiongnu army on Baishan Mountain. Maudun led the cavalry to besiege from all sides: the Hun cavalry had a white horse in the west, a green horse in the east, a black horse in the north, and a red horse in the south. Although the Huns today are not so powerful, they are different with the Donghu people.

It's like two hungry wolves on the prairie, often forming an alliance. Attack some large prey, many sturdy cattle and fierce camels in the grasslands. It was killed by a gang of hungry wolves.

Yun Yue didn't want to be a gnawed cow or a camel, so she had to use the methods used by herbivores. That is huddling for warmth, the hungry wolves are looking for an alliance, and Yun Yue is also looking for an alliance. I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning, and of course it is no longer Qin Qing's matter to discuss. Instead, he asked Empress Xiaohou for reinforcements, and Lu Buwei would definitely stop this matter, so it was better to discuss it with Empress Xiaohou as soon as possible.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

The early winter moonlight shone coldly on the stables of Xianyang Palace, and Alexander sat in the hay. It's a little warmer, and the weather here really can't compare to Greece. Alexander hated the weather and hated the place. But there was nothing he could do to resist, for he was no longer the king of Greece, but a horseman who was driven here.

In this icy palace, trying to survive is painful and difficult. The dry and hard steamed buns are very dry and hard, and each small piece has to be melted with saliva and swallowed with difficulty. Every bite you swallow is like going through torture. But Alexander didn't care anymore, he had eaten the best food in the world. Now, to eat the worst quality thing in the world. Perhaps, this is the justice that the gods give to people.

The steamed buns were eaten very slowly, but he still had to try to finish them as soon as possible. Because if you don't try to eat it and others find out, the stable will immediately be lively. Those fellow refugees who are also hungry and have green eyes will not hesitate to scramble for this steamed bun. Until they are beaten by the fierce stewards!

Several times, Alexander saw it with his own eyes. A guy is next to a stick and chewing on the snatched food in his mouth. Smiled sweetly and contentedly. People can be satisfied in this way......

If you say, you have to ask what impression the royal palace of the Chinese gave Alexander. It must have been a beating, and there were as many rules in this palace as the stars in the sky, but no one had ever told Alexander the rules. He summed it up from the number of beatings and punishments, because each time he was beaten, it was probably because he made a mistake. Although he didn't know what was wrong, it didn't seem to matter, and the people who beat him didn't know what he was wrong with. Maybe it's because it's boring, or maybe it's because of other reasons, but if you want to, you can fight.

Casual abuse, long ago high mortality rate. Of the 1,000 Greek prisoners of war, more than 500 died in less than a month after arriving here. To this day, people are still dying every day.

Some froze to death, and some starved to death. Of course, there were also those who were beaten to death by the stewards. The lives of prisoners of war were not valuable, especially those with disabilities.

One of the prisoners of war was sick and always had that yellow, green phlegm in his throat. Once, he just spat into the stable, and the steward told him to lick up all the phlegm stains on the ground. The man didn't do it, so he died.

Here, Alexander felt the cruelty and flattery of this nation, in their bones. They can grovel to their superiors, but when they turn their heads, they will be arrogant in front of them. They can bully the weak, but when they are bullied, they seem to be more submissive than anyone else. It's an enigmatic people, Alexander thinks.
