Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Rich Tribute Offered by the Huns
Li Si's order, everyone had to do it.
And because Basenti thanked Li Si for his kind words in front of the Huns, Lis's request, Basenti readily agreed.
In Basenti's opinion, this is the most cost-effective deal for Daqin to retreat.
Therefore, it is natural to hand over the tribute offered by the ministers to the other party's military camp.
Everything went according to Lees's plan.
Bason escorted the tribute offered by the ministers, and on the way to the Daqin military camp, he was really intercepted by the wolf's eye.
"You want to rebel?" Barson questioned coldly, he raised his palm, and the cavalry behind him immediately made a charging position.
The wolf eye has long had a grudge against Basenti, if it wasn't for this Basenti, I don't know who it is to be the Hun Shan Yu today?
He tilted his head, shifted his gaze to the elite cavalry behind him, and raised his hand.
Once this hand is waved, the two armies will inevitably fight and charge.
At this time, Cha Hetai, the strategist beside the wolf eye, immediately stopped: "Chief, if you start a war with Basenti now, your charge of rebellion will be established, and at that time, there will be a civil war between the Xiongnu, and the ultimate beneficiary will be Daqin." ”
"Our mission is to intercept the Great Qin delegation and force the Emperor of Qin to go to war with the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and at that time, once they go to war, the leader can lead a large army to capture Warburg and become the new Shan Yu."
Hearing Chahetai's analysis, the wolf eye calmed down.
He looked at so many tributes from his ministers, and his heart was dripping blood.
"It's a shame that the Great Xiongnu Kingdom is a vassal to the Qin State." Wolf's eyes roared.
How angry the wolf eye was, Chahetai saw it in his eyes, and he continued to comfort: "Chief, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." ”
"As long as we wait until the Xiongnu Shan Yu loses the hearts of the people, we will follow the will of the Xiongnu people and drive him down from the position of the Xiongnu Shan Yu."
"The top priority is to provoke the hatred between the Qin State and the Xiongnu, and the sandpiper and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman."
For the sake of the overall situation, Wolf Eye can only swallow this breath. He gritted his teeth and said: "When I sit in Shan Yu's seat, I will definitely wave my army south, attack Xianyang, and capture Fusu alive." ”
In desperation, Wolfeye had no choice but to let his army make way for Basen's army.
......
Two days later, the army of Qin stationed in the southern border of the Xiongnu.
In the main account, the scout is coming!
"General Mengda, General Han Xin, and Bason led an army of 50,000 towards our military camp."
"Got it."
Meng Tian waved his hand and motioned for the scout to step back.
Meng Tian and Han Xin both knew what Barson was trying to do.
Concubine Yan, covering the sun, Xuan Wen, the six sword slaves rode horses to the Qin army camp first.
He explained the situation to Meng Tian and Han Xin, and after receiving the tribute from the Xiongnu ministers, he immediately ordered the army to retreat.
Bason was satisfied with Daqin's trustworthiness, and now he could go back to pay the errand.
He also returned to Warburg with an army of 50,000 men.
Fusu, who was far away in Xianyang, seemed to have foreseen all this, and he could receive five times the tribute from the Xiongnu as soon as possible, which was already a good ending.
The next thing still depends on Li Si.
If Li Si is lucky, then the remaining five times the tribute can also be brought back, and if the luck is bad, then Li Si and the mission will also be buried in a foreign land.
Fusu knew that this was Li Si's choice.
Daqin received 50,000 cattle, 100,000 sheep, 500,000 gold, 50 boxes of porcelain agate, and 15,000 slaves from the Xiongnu.
These tributes were not shipped to Xianyang, and Fusu's order was to send 500,000 gold and 50 boxes of porcelain agate, as well as 15,000 slaves, to Dongjun for Xiao He's use.
50,000 head of cattle and 100,000 head of sheep were distributed to poor farmers in each county.
Food production is always not going up, there is no way to feed so many people, and if you want the population to go up, you have to have enough food.
Fusu learned from the household department that the population of Daqin is currently about 15 million, and 150,000 cattle and sheep are distributed to the whole country, and only one cow or sheep can be distributed to an average of 100 people, and on average, each person can probably get about a catty of beef or mutton.
Fusu believes that this is the real benefit to the people of the world.
When the people of the world need food, they give them food, although each person has a pound of meat, but it is little.
But people living at the bottom are already lucky to be able to eat a pound of meat a year.
If there are three or five people in the family, you can get three or five catties of meat.
Fusu wanted everyone in the world to taste the taste of the beef and mutton made by the Huns, and specially ordered that the beef and mutton that he had distributed was not allowed to be sold, but only allowed to eat by himself.
With this move, the respect and recognition of Fusu by the people of the world has risen to a new level.
Even the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who were about to stir in the past were quiet, and no one bothered to spread rumors and speak ill of the Second Emperor.
Because the common people received benefits from the emperor, they naturally embraced him.
Fusu's move, among the hundreds of sons, all of them were praised.
According to the population distribution, the delicacy of beef and mutton also includes the army, and each Rui can eat a pound of beef and mutton.
Through Li Si's efforts, Fusu temporarily stabilized the inner state of Qin, and he began to worry about Li Si.
The time of a month is coming soon, and the domestic resentment of the Xiongnu is boiling, and they are all muttering about killing Li Si.
It turned out that it was Zha Hetai, a strategist under Wolf Eye, who deliberately released the news and told the Xiongnu Shan Yu the amount of tribute to the ministers of Great Qin, and the herdsmen were of course angry.
At first, they thought that this was the military money donated to defeat the Great Qin army, but now that they know the truth, they are all disappointed in the Xiongnu Shan Yu.
Li Si and the people of the mission felt that something was wrong, and in the territory of the Xiongnu State, many herdsmen had begun to secretly support the wolf eye.
Although the wolf's eyes were burned and plundered, and the reputation was not very good, at least it would not be offered to the Qin State, and the amount of tribute made the Xiongnu herdsmen's hearts bleed.
Xiongnu Shan Yu didn't expect the news to leak out, and in order to appease the people of Warburg, he ordered someone to build a platform.
The people of Warburg were completely unaware of the confession to Qin, and they crowded to Warburg angrily to beg for a talk.
The Xiongnu knew that although they had a large army in their hands, they were angry, and at the suggestion of Li Si, they decided to come forward to quell the anger of the people of Warburg.
After Xiongnu Shan Yu came to power, the people below immediately quieted down.
He also said loudly: "As a Xiongnu Shan Yu, I have absolutely not declared myself a vassal to the Qin State, I do this, do you think I am doing it for myself?" ”
"Don't you want to think about it, how did Great Qin's 400,000 army retreat? We didn't spend a single soldier, they retreated. ”
"It's because Emperor Daqin II negotiated peace with us, and he doesn't want to continue the war between the two countries, and he doesn't want to see your relatives around you join the army one by one, and die after being reinforced."
"According to the tradition of the Huns, whoever occupies that land belongs to whom."
"A month ago, Great Qin's 400,000 troops occupied the southern border of the Xiongnu."
