Not only Bai Hui was not in Xianyang, but also King Qin, Bai Qi, Lou Zhuan, etc., and nearly ten important ministers of the Qin State were not there.

King Qin and Bai Qi went to the Lantian camp and Liyang, called to visit the injured Qin veterans, and sent money and food to the families of the veterans who died in the battle, as a sign of the Qin king's concern for the veterans of the Qin state.

And Bai Hui went hunting, and took the guests of Yiqu, Lou Fu, Wushi, and Lin Hu to hunt in the Qinling Mountains.

This is also an important task, to receive the four clans of Yiqu, Loufu, Wu, and Linhu who are about to integrate into the Qin State.

Of course, this is certainly not the case. To put it bluntly, it's hiding.

Li Tan, as the doctor of the Qin State, first inquired about the detailed list of the envoys of the Chu State and what the Chu State wanted to do when he came to Qin. Then he sent a letter to King Qin and Bai Hui.

dragged on for three days, and it happened to be the big wedding banquet in Baiqi.

Bai Qi's wedding is such a big thing, even the court meeting will be suspended, and it is not easy for Chu State to talk about any serious matters, so that it can be delayed for another four days, and Wei Ran will almost come back at that time.

It is said that in the Qinling Mountains, when the sun sets in the West Mountain, it is in a valley.

At this time, there is no saying of seventy-two valleys in the Qinling Mountains, but the scenery is more beautiful than that of later generations. Roasting meat around the fire and tasting wine is a bit of fun.

After drinking a few bottles of light fruit wine, Bai Hui said to Wu Yun: "I said Xiaoyun ......"

"Stop!" Wu Yun waved his hand: "Change the name." ”

"Xiao Wu?"

"Not good."

"Awu? Ayun? ”

Wu Yun was speechless, and said helplessly: "Okay, it's still Xiaoyun." ”

Hehe!

Bai Hui laughed dryly: "You Lou Fu heard that there are many people who have a good relationship with Zhao Guo?" ”

"It can't be said that the relationship is good, we are poor and poor, and we can say that we have nothing. There are Xiongnu in the north, we need to pay tribute every year, and we have been defeated by Zhao several times in the south to attack Zhao State, and the knights of Lou Fu have no choice but to join Zhao State, and the income from being a soldier in Zhao State for a year is equivalent to the income of the whole family for a year and a half. ”

After Wu Yun talked about their relationship with Zhao Guo, Bai Hui asked again, "So, I plan to ask you to sell Zhao Guo something, are you willing?" ”

"What?"

"The armament of the Qin army, you can tell Zhao Guo, this is the result of the joint negotiation between Lou Fu and the Qin army, but you are about to spend the winter, so you need food."

Wu Yun stirred the fire with a wooden stick and thought for a long time before nodding: "Yes." ”

"In addition to grain, I want copper."

"And then?"

"Exchange copper with Qin for linen, and then sell the excess linen to Zhao back for copper."

"There seems to be a conspiracy?"

"Of course, this is a conspiracy in itself, let's put it this way, do you understand the war in the Central Plains?"

Wu Yun shook his head: "War, it's complicated. It's not just about hacking each other to death, I've read military books, especially those excellent generals in the last two hundred years. ”

Bai Hui shook his head: "You don't understand, war is just appearance, strategy and tactics are only means of war. If you're interested, I'll show you a bloodless war, more terrible than a bloody war. ”

At this time, Fan Ju reminded him on the side: "Dahejun, it seems impossible not to shed a drop of blood. ”

"Okay, I'll revise my statement, the blood will bleed a little, but not much."

Wu Yun stood up: "So, what do we need to do to annoy the Lou family?" ”

"The first step, negotiations, high-profile negotiations. asked Qin Guo to promise the cattle and sheep to exchange equipment, and then quietly sell a little ordnance to Zhao Guo in private, how much this amount is, it still needs to be calculated. ”

Zhai Qi asked at this time, "What about us?" ”

"Go west, send elite troops to the west with the Wu clan, infiltrate our forces, and then send heavy troops to help Gushi fight the Huns, and defeat anyone who is unwilling to surrender."

After Bai Hui finished speaking, Wu Shi Tenant said at this time: "I think Gu Shi should be eliminated, they occupy the main road, and the big nobles are swaying left and right between the Xiongnu and the tribes and the Rong King, and our Wu clan can't trust them." And I don't believe that the Great River King of the Qin State will stop at the Great River! ”

Bai Hui was silent.

The largest tribe in the Western Regions is the Dog Rong clan, and the patriarch is called King Rong, who is the most powerful in the Western Regions.

Then on strength, the next is Yiqu, which was defeated by the Qin State. Then down is the Yue clan, and then the Gushi clan and then the Wu clan. And then there are some weak ones, and the peacock clan is one of the weak tribes.

Seeing that Bai Hui was silent, the Wu clan said again: "Our Wu clan has been paying tribute to King Rong for almost two hundred years, and it snowed heavily in winter, and many people in the Wu clan starved to death, but King Rong was unwilling to lend Wu clan any food, and the amount of tribute in the following year could not be less. ”

Zhai Qi also said: "When I was a child, I also saw Yiqu pay tribute to King Rong, and it was not until fifteen years ago that Yiqu learned to farm and had a strong strength before he stopped paying tribute. ”

Bai Hui turned his head to look at Wuli.

Wu Li was eating meat violently, and when he found Bai Hui looking at himself, he raised his head and shook his head: "We Lin Hu pay tribute to the Xiongnu, but I heard that the Xiongnu will give a gift to King Rong every year, and they will also give Donghu a gift." It's not called a tribute, it's just a gift. ”

Bai Hui nodded silently, the Huns were not strong enough at this time.

When the Xiongnu defeated Donghu and eliminated the dog Rong, they really became the overlord of the grassland.

Bai Hui asked, "Auntie, how strong is it?" ”

"You send 3,000 heavy armored horses, our Wu clan provides 2,000 good horses, I believe that the Yiqu people can also make up 1,000 horses, and the Linhu people will also have 1,000 horses to select their war horses. Prepare another 4,000 horses to walk, and you can fully exert the power of your 3,000 heavy armored horses. ”

Bai Hui's heart was moved.

Not being impressed is fake.

Gushi is the country of Cheshi in later generations.

Wushi occupies the eastern exit of the Hexi Corridor, which is Liangzhou. Gushi occupies the west entrance, which is Dunhuang in later generations. And the aunt's also occupies a part of Turpan.

It's really a strategic location.

Not only is it the only road to the west on land, but it is also a famous granary area for later generations.

Bai Hui touched it in his arms, took out a token and handed it to his guards: "Take my token and tell General Meng Fu that there are three thousand heavy armored cavalry, one thousand Qin halberd guards, and five thousand elite cavalry, and the generals will be selected by him." Give me to the Wu clan to rest, prepare for war, and wait for the king's edict. ”

"No!"

Bai Hui took out another token: "Transfer the general Yingjiang of the Great River Guard, bring 10,000 Great River Guards to give me support in the north, and in the area I have demarcated, do a good job as a Great River Guard, and all the nobles will not be left without the amnesty of General Zhai Qi, General Wuli, and General Wu Shimeng." ”

"No!"

Wuli raised his head and whispered, "What are you leaving them for, do you want to eat food for nothing?" ”

"Let's have a drink." Zhai Qi picked up the wine glass and touched it with Wuli, and the two drank it all, then looked at each other and laughed.
