Maudun was annoyed and angry.

For a long time, he has been accustomed to being alone, and everyone bows his head, and he listens to the words of the whiskers and slapping the horse, and there are very few naked face-to-face sarcasm like Li Yuan.

"100,000 athletes, enough to set foot in Guanzhong, Li Hou, do you want to try?" Mao Dun's face was gloomy, and his murderous intentions were revealed. Hearing Mao Dun say this, the fifty Hun warriors pulled out their sharp arrows one by one, set up their bows and arrows, and waited for Mao Dun to give an order.

"Da Shan Yu is not young, everything must be thought clearly, this time, Li can let Da Shan Yu go back, if there is a next time, then don't blame me Da Qin is welcome."

Li Yuan looked at Mao Dun on the opposite side coldly, with a look of disdain in his eyes, his right hand was raised high, and Cao Xin, Li Zhongxiang and other personal soldiers were not to be outdone and aimed their swords and arrows at the Huns.

Verbal discord.

The two sides have become a tiger riding a difficult situation, Mao Dun wants to subdue Li Yuan, who is younger than himself, with momentum, and Li Yuan is naturally not to be outdone, although Mao Dun is a generation of Xiongnu heroes, but for Li Yuan, who is fighting at home, his threat is really nothing, you must know that in the canyon on the bank of the Wuding River, Wang Li, Su Jiao's more than 10,000 border troops were ambushed there early, just waiting for Li Yuan's order, and they immediately killed the general.

"Haha, Li Hou is nervous, isn't he. It's all my fault, after the words, come on, let's sit down and talk in detail, in fact, my Great Huns and Qin State don't have to fight each other, and some deals are better to put on the table in a dignified manner than to let people do them in private. Maudun snorted and waved his hand to signal his followers to stand down.

Trade.

At this time, Mao Dun finally said his true intention.

From the gallop of Qin to the north, you can traffic the brocade forging in the Bashu area, the silk in the eastern part of the country, and the bronze ware in the Guanzhong to the border between Qin and Hungary, and at the same time, the Huns can also traffic the cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland to the south, and this kind of exchange of goods is very much needed for the two countries.

The increase in national strength is not only to wage war and occupy larger territory. In addition to the development of agriculture and the production of larger grains, commercial trade was also a very important part, and during the reign of the First Emperor, the national policy of the Qin State was to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce, which made the border trade almost extinct.

During the year of Li Yuan's reign, the new Qin regime's shackles on commerce were gradually lifted, and the Qin people also began to try to set up trade markets at post stations along the border of Longxi. Accumulated a lot of wealth.

If it weren't for seeing the huge benefits brought by the transaction between the two countries, Mao Dun would not have had such a special meeting with Li Yuan on a whim.

"Does the big order intend to be in the mutual market, or do you intend to draw profits?" Li Yuan thought for a moment and asked.

According to historical records, the Xiongnu were not very interested in commerce and trade, because they themselves could hardly produce anything of value other than the livestock on the steppe, and on the contrary, whether it was the Qin state in the south or the states of the Western Regions. There are many things that make the Xiongnu nobles rush to it.

According to Maudun's domineering, Li Yuan estimated that he was most likely to choose the latter, but in fact, extracting profits from businessmen was actually a regressive move that hindered the development of productive forces. Standing in the position of the Qin State, Li Yuan hoped that the Xiongnu could open the passage and make the Silk Road more smooth.

Mao Dun smiled contemptuously and said, "It's difficult for Li Hou to achieve this ambition. With the strength of you and me, do you still need to bow down to those lowly businessmen? ”

As soon as Mao Dun said this, Li Yuan immediately understood what Mao Dun meant. Extracting heavy taxes from merchants was what Maudun wanted to do the most, as it would allow the Huns to accumulate a large amount of wealth in a short period of time.

As for the cooperation with Li Yuan, it is hoped that the Qin State will completely open up commerce and trade, so that those merchants can eat a large number of goods in a vain manner, and when the time comes, Mao Dun will impose heavy taxes in the territory of the Xiongnu, and Li Yuan will cooperate with the Qin State, so that those Hu merchants and merchants from other places who are trying to make a lot of profits will lose all their money.

"Da Dan Yu's ambition is indeed very big, and Li can't understand it. In the matter of border trade, if Da Danyu intends to open up the mutual market, the Qin State will definitely welcome it, and as for the rest, just give it up. Li Yuan's eyes were resolute, and under the gaze of Mao Dun's almost fiery eyes, he replied without showing weakness.

"In that case, there is nothing more to talk about. When the time is right, the iron cavalry of my Great Huns will visit again, and I hope Li Hou is ready. Mao Dun sneered again and again and said.

"Please rest assured, my Da Qin soldiers will definitely prepare well and entertain Da Shan Yu's people well." Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

A meeting.

As a result of the unhappy breakup, the relationship between the Qin State and the Xiongnu was destined to become even worse in the future.

Mao Dun took the warriors of the tribes to hate and go, there was no way to fight, there was nothing to talk about, Mao Dun the big single in Di Dao after a little rest, the Xiongnu tribes retreated to the north in mid-November, in the process, the Qin army pursuit troops unceremoniously chased the Huns' buttocks for a while, so that many Xiongnu tribes with slaves suffered heavy losses.

November 20 of the second year of the Qin New Calendar.

The Qin army regained Di Dao and reoccupied this important town at the western end of the Great Wall.

This is the price of war.

No one can change, and if they want not to be bullied, the Qin people must also make themselves stronger and more united.

After dealing with the Huns on the northern front, Li Yuan left a border army to guard Di Dao, and led more than 10,000 cavalry to the south to meet another group of Huns who had entered the territory of Qin from Shanggua.

The Qin army in the Shanggua area resisted very tenaciously, and after the cavalry of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King entered the Jiangshui Valley, they were blocked by the Qiang people of the same clan as the Yue clan, and at the same time, thanks to the flat plateau in the south and north of Longxi County, the mountains here are undulating, which is very unfavorable for cavalry combat.

When Li Yuan arrived in Longnan, the Huns were already anxious, had no intention of fighting, and Mao Dun's astuteness was different, this Zuoxian King was obviously just a brave man, and was surrounded by Li Yuan in the pre-ambush battlefield west of the river, after a vicious battle, the Xiongnu Zuoxian King was driven into the river, when he tried to swim across the river by grabbing the horsetail, but because of the cold weather and frozen to death in the river, this battle, the floating corpses of the Huns spread over the river, like a body with the body of a beast that was killed.

Life.

It's just as fair to everyone.

A month ago, it was also on this big river that the Huns drove the Xiaoyue people into the river, and they vented their energy with a cruel howl on the bank, and now, the reincarnation of fate, it is finally their turn to enjoy the feast of this big river.

――。

After a fierce battle with the Huns, Li Yuan couldn't help but be physically and mentally exhausted, from Luoyang to Longxi, this period of time, he almost spent the time back and forth. Although there is youth supporting, it can't stand such endless extraction.

When passing by Yongyi, Li Yuan lazily met with Li Zheng who stayed here in a comfortable carriage, and the political affairs of Longxi were still handed over to Luo Jia and Li Zheng.

When Li Yuan's Daxu passed through the city of Yongyi, the displaced people who were still stranded in the city burst into bursts of cheers, and they had already learned the news of the Xiongnu's withdrawal from the scouts who reported the news, and imagined that it would not be long before they could return to their hometowns.

Zheng Chengzi was also in the crowd.

After that fight, his life in Yongyi became calm and regular, and the resettlement of the displaced people was effectively prevented from getting out of control with the efforts of officials at all levels in Yongyi.

And today, what made Zheng Chengzi's eyes red and surprised was that he saw the thin young man who had a conflict with him in Li Yuan's personal army.

Judging from the dress, the boy has become a general from an ordinary pawn, with a high plate hat, black armor, and a badge on his chest that symbolizes his military exploits, all of which make Zheng Chengzi feel unfamiliar, if it weren't for the big bow on the young man's back, Zheng Chengzi almost couldn't believe that the enviable young Qin Qi in front of him was also a homeless.

"No, I can't. I also want to join the army, and I also want to fight for a future. Zheng Chengzi clenched his palms and secretly swore in his heart.

The triumphant army, the bright battle armor, and the excited shouts of beautiful ladies are all stimulating one young Qin person after another, so that the pride hidden in their hearts begins to be awakened, Li Yuan does not know that in every city that his convoy passes, there are countless Qin men who have lost sleep this night.

Xianyang.

Chen Ping led the ministers of the court to welcome out of the city for ten miles, in the direction of Chang'an's new city, received Li Yuan's return team, this expedition to Longxi, Chen Ping has been staying in Guanzhong to coordinate the affairs of all parties, Li Yuan can rest assured and Mao Dun around, which is also inseparable from the credit of Chen Ping and other officials.

"Long history, Guanzhong, Sanchuan area, everything is still stable?" Li Yuan rested for a while along the way, and his energy was a lot fuller, and when he saw Chen Ping's acquaintance again, he was also very happy in his heart.

"Li Hou, there is no major incident in the Guanzhong area, the county officials are still working hard, even if there are some small public security problems, there is no need to bother Li Hou, and they have their own officials to deal with them. General Han is guarding the area of Sanchuan, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang have their own troubles, and they can't look down on Luoyang for the time being, but there is good news in the area of Hanzhong Fu County. The craftsmen of the military construction found an open-pit iron mine in Fu County, and now Sima Dazao and Mo Ping have rushed there. Chen Ping replied with a smile.

"There is an iron mine in Fu County, is this news true?" Li Yuan asked with great joy.

"It was personally verified by Master Mo Ping, and a tributary of Fushui is rich in iron, which is estimated to be caused by the iron ore in the upstream area being washed by water." Chen Ping replied.

"In this way, quickly order Wang Shang's crossbowmen to march south along Chencang Road and seize Fu County, remember to keep it secret, and don't let Liu Bang know the news." Li Yuan thought about it and instructed.

Mo Ping's smelting jishu is one of the best in the Qin State, and with his judgment, the news that there is iron ore in Fu County should not be wrong, and from Li Yuan's memory, it seems that he has also heard the record of iron ore resources in the area of Luoyang in Hanzhong, and the name of Luoyang in Qin seems to be called Fu County.
