There is no doubt that Maudun is a strong man.

This can be known from the way he dealt with the Huhan tribe.

In front of Mao Dun, the leaders of the various departments basically obeyed their orders, and even if there was more resentment in their hearts, they didn't dare to show it.

Large orders in military accounts.

"The Qin people agreed to meet, the location is on the bank of the Wuding River, and the leaders of each tribe listened to the order, and quickly selected the good archery warriors of their tribe to act with the king."

At the end of October, the weather outside was getting colder and colder, but the tribal leaders felt that the temperature inside the tent was a few degrees lower than outside, and the cold words were as chilling as the north wind outside.

If the Great Xiongnu wanted to become stronger, it was absolutely not possible to do the original loose tribal alliance, and they must follow the example of the Qin State and establish an army that commands uniformly and only obeys orders.

This time, the annexation of the Huhan tribe once again established the authority of Da Dan Yu to say nothing. Next, Mao Dun prepared to use the Qin army meeting as a pretext to gather the warriors of the various tribes, so as to weaken the liliang of the tribes. And the leaders of the various tribes, who were caught off guard by Maudun's order, stood in place in a daze, not daring to speak out against the inappropriate, nor wanting to be so willing to comply.

It's a struggle for power.

At present, the two sides of the contest are not on the same level at all.

"Why don't you get ready—." Seeing that everyone was speechless for a while, even the attendants around Mao Dun were fake tigers, which made the leaders of the Hun tribes hate in their hearts.

But what could they say, and who dared to say anything, in desperation, the leaders of the tribes could only tremble, bow their heads to each other, and dare not show the slightest disrespect and retreat.

There is no need for any military meetings.

There is no need for one person to jump out and express a common opinion.

Mao Dun sneered and watched one tribe leader after another go out, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. The days without opponents are actually very boring, but fortunately. There is also an interesting opponent like Li Yuan, otherwise, Mao Dun really doesn't know what his goals will be in the coming days.

The Huns are good at shooting.

But the real good archery warriors are distributed among the tribes, and they can say to each other that no one is submissive, this elite scattered situation, so that Mao Dun's desire to improve the combat power to another level has not been realized, this time, by Li Yuan's Qin army to a strong stimulus, Mao Dun decided to forcibly start the annexation of the military Liliang Jihua.

――。

Gaoping North.

Yinzhou Station.

It is located in the hinterland of the Loess Plateau, and the Wuding River flows through it. The loose banks of the river were washed, and sometimes clumps of yellow mud rolled up. Although the vegetation is still relatively lush, due to human grazing and reduced rainfall, the soil is gradually showing signs of being washed away by the river.

After communication between the envoys of the two sides, the meeting between Li Yuan and Mao Dun took place as scheduled on the morning of 4 November. Accompanying Mao Dun were fifty Hun warriors who were good at shooting from various departments, and Li Yuan's side also selected fifty soldiers to accompany him.

On such small details. With the pride of Li Yuan and Mao Dun, they will not take advantage of each other.

The space inside the inn is cramped.

It was not suitable for more than 100 people to be crowded together, so Li Yuan proposed that it be in the open space in front of the post station. Set up some tents for both sides to rest. This proposal made Mao Dun feel very happy, he didn't expect that Li Yuan, as an opponent, would have such a delicate mind for the other party.

In return. Maudun ordered his attendants to light a fire and kill some cattle and sheep for barbecue. This kind of open-air grassland banquet, if it were not in the Qin Dynasty, Li Yuan would almost regard it as a trip to the Inner Mongolia grassland.

Maudun was a man of few words.

He is not tall, short and strong, and the ratio of his upper and lower body is very strange, and he belongs to the type with a short upper body and a very slender lower body, which is not known to be a family inheritance, but a habit of riding a horse.

Judging from the shape of his face, Morton has prominent eyebrow bones, thick eyebrows, and a pair of eyes that are very disproportionate to the shape of his face, which makes people look weird.

"I have heard for a long time that Li Hou is brave and good at fighting, and the soldiers under his command are all brave, and when I see it today, it is really so, haha!" Mao Dun looked at Li Yuan, his eyes flashed, and he said.

From the perspective of age, Li Yuan was more than ten years younger than Mao Dun, and such a young and excessive opponent made him feel a strong jealousy. The years in the north are bitter and cold, for a man, the time to have a strong body is only more than ten years, and Mao Dun is still in the best state of his body, but in a few years, maybe the situation will be different.

"Da Shan Yu said with a smile, if my Daqin soldiers were good at fighting, how could they be like now, and the land would be ruined and bullied." Li Yuan smiled faintly and said.

There are words in Mao Dun's words, and there is a provocation meaning, if Li Yuan nods in approval, Mao Dun's next sentence is estimated to be the case, so how about we each send out a few warriors and compete? It is estimated that Mao Dun has already used this kind of trick and method skillfully, but it is really nothing to the "well-informed" Li Yuan.

Mao Dun's expression tightened, and after being silent for a while, he raised the wine cup beside him and drank it all, and said: "I heard that there is a sage of Confucius in the Central Plains who said that there are friends from afar, and they are happy?" Today, you and I meet here, it is also a kind of fate, and after drinking this lamp, the rest of the things, how about it? ”

"It's a good wine, but it's a pity it's too weak." Not to be outdone, Li Yuan flipped his wrist and finished drinking, and said in a deep voice. The liquor of this era is equivalent to the rice wine of later generations, and it is completely incomparable with the purified liquor in terms of alcohol content.

Three rounds of drinking.

The whole mutton that was roasted and browned was also served, and Li Yuan unceremoniously picked up a leg of mutton and gnawed it without caring about the heat. While eating, he also praised: "Da Shan Yu, eat quickly, this mutton is the most delicious to eat while it is hot, but unfortunately, there is only salt in terms of condiments, like pepper in the Western Regions or anything, if there is pepper, just sprinkle it on a little, it is really the most delicious thing in the world." ”

After a long time, in the face of the boring food of this era, Li Yuan nibbled corn cakes and ate millet rice, and now he finally has a little harvest of wheat, and he can barely improve it to make some batter. This day is as sad as it is, even if you occasionally have some game, because of the backward cooking techniques, you can only barely eat it.

Today, the attendants around Mao Dun showed his barbecue skills, which allowed Li Yuan to see another grassland food culture that was different from the Central Plains.

Having something delicious is a kind of happiness.

Li Yuan, who had a deep understanding of this, began to go all out to attack the position he was most interested in after seeing the delicious roast leg of mutton.

"Li Hou, this is just drinking wine and eating meat. It's really boring, why don't you and I each have three warriors and compete, how about it? Maudon frowned and suggested.

"Hmm, Da Danyu, this piece is really good, golden and golden, you can also taste it." Li Yuan kept nodding and shaking his head. The mouth does not stop for a moment.

"I know how to eat, why don't I kill you." Mao Dun scolded angrily in his heart, and he tried to use words several times, but the reply he got was a series of meaningless words that were not easy or delicious. The Great Huns are single. It's not humiliated like this, but this barbecue is roasted by his people, and it's not delicious. It's tantamount to slapping yourself in the face.

The fire shivered in the cold wind.

Just like this tense and suffocating atmosphere, the warriors of Qin and Hungary were tense one by one, glaring at each other. As long as an order is given, it is a vicious fight.

Li Zhongxiang held a big bow and lurked behind Cao Xin, a sharp arrow in his right hand had already hit the end of the string, and the sharp arrow cluster was aimed at Mao Dun.

The Huns are good at shooting, and on the side of the Qin army, there are also people who are good at shooting. Li Zhongxiang's three arrows in the battle of Chaochen made Li Yuan remember this young man at once, and when selecting the entourage warriors this time, Li Yuan personally named Li Zhongxiang and included Li Zhongxiang in his personal soldiers, which made the veterans of the baggage battalion envious.

What is a pro-barracks?

It is the place where generals come out, Luo Jia, Wang Shang, Cao Xin, and Bai Guangji -- all come from Li Yuan's personal troops, and Li Zhongxiang's leap, as long as there are no accidents, is almost an inevitable candidate for generals.

Finally.

Just when Mao Dun's anger was about to flare up, Li Yuan ate well.

"Da Shan Yu, xiexie your hospitality, it's not too early, let's skip the competition or something, if the warriors are interested, you might as well come to the battlefield to meet you, now let's talk about business, may I ask, when are you going to retreat back to the grassland?" Li Yuan wiped his somewhat greasy hands, and his attitude was calm.

Mao was angry for a while, and his feelings took most of the day, so he waited for Li Yuan to eat meat, but if he didn't answer now, this meeting would be completely meaningless, and it would not be for nothing to let Li Xiaothief eat an overlord meal.

"General Li, I, the Great Huns, will never retreat until I get what I want." Mao Dun sneered, and shouted imposingly.

"Oh, what Da Shan Yu means is that he has to continue fighting, okay, I'll accompany you, it's just cold weather, and it's also an activity." Mao Dun's verbal threats to Li Yuan, who had the advantage of strength, had no effect at all, and he had already seen the kind of bargaining methods at the negotiation table, if Mao Dun really wanted to fight, how could he propose a meeting or something, isn't this the three hundred taels of silver here?

"General Li, there are no less than 300,000 people in control of the Great Huns, as long as I give an order, the army will go south, with the strength of the Qin State, can you afford it?" Mao stood up and said sharply at Li Yuanse.

"300,000, Da Shan Yu is talking in his dreams, the grassland is bitter cold, and the various departments are not united, Da Shan Yu can mobilize 100,000 people to come south, it is already considered his best, and only 100,000 barbarians, how can I be afraid of Da Qin Jian'er?" Li Yuan stood up and unceremoniously poked the cowhide of Mao Dun into a thousand holes.

With Li Yuan's understanding of the history of the early Han Dynasty, it will take at least five years for Maodun's Liliang to reach its highest peak, in the siege of Baideng, the Hun cavalry dispatched by Maodun reached 500,000 people, and now, only two years after the rise, the Huns attacked Donghu in the east and broke the Yueshi in the west, which seemed to be infinite, but in fact, the internal rule of Maodun was not stable.
