Chapter 340: Prison Cow
As soon as Tou Manshan Yu's voice fell, Ying Zheng was secretly surprised in his heart, but his face remained calm: "Da Dan said this, can it come from the bottom of his heart?" ”
"Of course." Touman said resolutely, "This king is not the capricious villain, he must be true to his word, otherwise, what would he do to the Xiongnu Alliance's Shan Yu." ”
"Good!" Ying Zheng patted the corner of the table, "The widow made a friend of Mandan, and in the widow's lifetime, he will definitely help you strengthen the country as much as possible, so that the Huns will not worry about eating and drinking." ”
Tou Manhaha smiled and said: "It's just that if this trade is carried out, the King of Qin will make less money, and we Huns are not rich people." ”
Ying Zheng also smiled: "Actually, Daqin is not rich, and many goods have to be bought from enemy countries. ”
Speaking of the enemy country, Touman sighed lightly: "It's not a secret, the Xiongnu always want to invade the south and take advantage of it, and it is indeed a hardship." ”
"Tell me about it." Ying Zheng said with interest.
Touman said: "Before my father established the tribal alliance, the Xiongnu seemed to have a vast territory, but the tribes were not harmonious with each other, and they always competed with each other for limited resources, and the internal friction was extremely serious. ”
"Especially the Donghu in the east, Lou Fu, and the Yue clan in the west are also eyeing the Huns. As for the large area of bitter cold in the north, no matter how large the territory is, it has little practical significance. ”
"After occupying the Hetao, our Xiongnu tasted the sweetness, so they turned more attention to the Central Plains."
"But if you can get the help of the King of Qin, so that the Xiongnu will be strong, and then defeat Donghu, Yueshi and other countries, then the king will be grateful."
Touman seemed extremely sincere, because he knew what was at stake.
In the face of this difficult bone in the Central Plains, the Xiongnu at most grabbed some resources, and it was impossible to stand on their feet, but it was different in the face of Donghu and Yueshi, where they were also grasslands, and they all had similar lifestyles and survival rules.
Therefore, the biggest opponent of the Xiongnu is actually not the Central Plains, but the Donghu in the east, the Lou Fu Kingdoms, and the Yueshi and Wusun in the west, and even the more distant Western Regions.
"The First Evolution"
"Well said, well said." Ying Zheng toasted him with a glass of wine and said, "What the Xiongnu need, they can be exchanged for the same price in Daqin." If the Donghu or Yue clan are unruly and the widow sends a large army to reinforce you, it will not be impossible. ”
"Happy!" Tou Man smiled, "Since King Qin is so refreshing, in order to show his sincerity, this king will give you a generous gift." ”
"Generous gifts?" Ying Zheng summed up in his heart, what other valuable things could the Huns have.
Touman said: "The King of Qin must know about this generous gift that the king said, and it still has some origins with the Qin State. ”
Ying Zheng became even more curious, and then a name flashed in his heart.
Touman doesn't sell Guan Zi anymore: "That's what the Central Plains knows, and the family!" ”
As soon as these three words landed, Wang Jian and the others were so shocked that they almost fell down.
Ying Zheng was not too surprised.
Previously, when he was refined, Ying Zheng learned the ins and outs of He's bi from the mouth of Khotan's envoy, and learned that another piece of jade mined with He's bi was still in Khotan, and the king of Khotan was willing to exchange that other piece of jade with him for other goods and obtain the right to trade.
Seeing Wang Qian's reaction, Touman thought that the people of Daqin did not know about it, so he explained: "I guess you don't know, that Heshi Bi originally came from Khotan in Khotan, so it was called Heshi Bi, and when it was mined, there were two pieces, similar in size and slightly different in shape. ”
In order to contain Loulan, Khotan sent an envoy to the Xiongnu and asked the Xiongnu to send troops to attack Loulan on both sides. The leader of the Huns at that time
accepted Khotan's request, and he also got the piece of Heshibi. ”
"Later, the Xiongnu and Zhao were at war, the losses on both sides were more serious, the Xiongnu proposed a truce, and the then King of Zhao took the opportunity to make a request, wanting to take advantage of the Heshi Bi to observe."
"At that time, the king of the Huns felt that it was just a fine stone, and it could not be eaten as meat, so he lent it to the king of Zhao, and the two sides also quit."
"After that, you Central Plains all know, King Zhao gave your ancestors of Great Qin a look at He's Bi, and your ancestors will exchange thirteen cities for it. But where did King Zhao dare to change it, after all, it was a borrowed thing, so he asked the official surnamed Lin to ask for it back. ”
After that, the king of the Huns heard that the beautiful jade was actually worth a lot of money, so he asked the king of Zhao for it, and the two sides almost broke out into a big war again. King Zhao also knew that he was at a loss, so he reluctantly returned He's Bi to our Xiongnu. ”
"And that piece of jade, which was later obtained by my father, was passed on to me."
Wang Jian and the others widened their eyes, as if they were listening to a book from heaven, and felt a little incredible.
"No wonder, later Zhao Guo never mentioned the matter of He Shibi again, it turned out that that Meiyu was no longer in Zhao Guo." Wang Jian calmed down and said.
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Such a rare treasure, Tou Manshan is really willing to give it to the widow?" ”
Touman nodded: "This sincerity of this king, I don't know if it is enough. ”
Ying Zheng pondered for a while, and then said: "We have an ancient saying in China, called 'come and don't be rude', since Tou Manshan is so generous, the widow will also give you a gift." ”
He raised his hand and pointed out the door and said, "The bloody horse at the door is a precious horse breed of Dawan Kingdom, and it is never sold to foreign countries. When the widow was in the Western Regions, he spent a lot of money to get one back, and I don't know if Tou Manshan likes it or not. ”
When Thorin heard this, his eyes widened, as if he wanted to dissuade him, but he didn't say anything.
And Touman was happy in his heart, he had already noticed the BMW horse that Ying Zheng was riding, and after learning that it was a sweaty horse, he was even more itchy, and at this time he heard Ying Zheng say that he wanted to give it to himself, and he was so happy.
In his eyes, the value of a pure-blooded horse is definitely far greater than a piece of jade that can only be admired.
"How can you not like it." Tou Man hurriedly said, "I'm afraid that King Qin will be reluctant." ”
Ying Zheng sighed lightly and said, "It's really a little reluctant, so the widow still has to put forward a few conditions." ”
Touman said: "As long as the Huns have meat to eat, cattle and sheep have grass to eat, and other conditions are fine." ”
Ying Zheng toasted another glass of wine, then cleared his throat and said: "The Xiongnu will withdraw from the Hetao after this and will not invade our Central Plains again, this point, Da Shan Yu has already said. ”
"That's right." "As long as I live, I will keep my word." But if I die, I can't control what the younger generations do. ”
"Hehe, what will happen to the children and grandchildren of the widow when the time comes, the widow can't control it." Ying Zheng said with a light smile, "But in the past few decades, it's been decided, no problem, right?" ”
"No problem." Head Mando.
Ying Zheng continued: "The second requirement is to demarcate the border. After that, with this Yin Mountain as the boundary, five hundred miles to the north, is a buffer zone, and the Xiongnu tribes in this area must move north as much as possible, and no troops are allowed to exist. ”
Touman hesitated for a moment and said, "It's no problem to migrate, I'm afraid that the cattle and sheep don't have enough grass to eat." ”
"I'm not afraid." Ying Zheng said, "The widow can send someone to cut the grass and give it to you." ”
"Hehe, that's fine." Touman laughed.
"The third
Requirements are also the most important for widows. Ying Zheng continued, "In this Yin Mountain, the widow should build a long city wall, during this period, the Xiongnu should not have any disturbance, and after it is built, do not cross half a step." ”
Touman blinked, this extremely important request for Yingzheng seemed to him to be the same as not saying it.
A buffer zone of 500 miles has been set up, why are people still coming here near Yin Mountain?
"It's not that hard." "If you don't want to be disturbed, this king can help you defend the east and west sides." ”
"Hehe, that's the best." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"However, this king is a little curious, what kind of city wall does King Qin want to build?" Touman said.
Ying Zheng didn't hide it, took out a picture from his arms and handed it to Touman.
Touman looked at it after unfolding it, and said unconsciously: "Doesn't this look like a beacon, but why is it so long?" ”
Ying Zheng explained: "Formally, it is to connect the pavilions that resemble beacons together, so as to form a long city wall, called the Great Wall. ”
"The Great Wall ......" Tou Man muttered, smiled bitterly, and said, "Could it be that the King of Qin is too worried about our Huns crossing this Yin Mountain?" ”
Ying Zheng said: "This is just one small reason. The more important reason is that it is inconvenient for the widow to say, as long as Da Dan Yu knows, I built this Great Wall for the good of the Huns. ”
"In order to... Huns good? Tou Man pondered the reason, "Is it to block the army of the Central Plains and not invade the grassland in the north?" ”
Qiang didn't hold back and laughed.
With such a big grassland, I'm afraid I can't stop it if I want to.
Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "Da Shan Yu, do you know why your prairie doesn't grow trees and can't plant land?" ”
Touman scratched his scalp and said, "Walking on it every day, how can you not know that the land is not soil at all, but volcanic ash, so nothing can take root except grass roots." ”
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Then how did the volcanic ash come from?" ”
Tou Man didn't even think about it: "Of course the volcanic ash is erupted by the volcano, and these three-year-old children know it." ”
"And since the ash is coming from the volcano, where is the volcano?" Ying Zheng asked again.
"The volcano is covered by the thick volcanic ash, of course I can't see it, otherwise how could this prairie be so flat." Touman said.
Ying Zheng was silent for a moment and said: "Volcanic ash can cover many volcanoes, which is enough to show how violent the volcano erupted at that time, and its number must be very large. That scene can be said to be like purgatory. ”
Everyone imagined the spectacle and the poignant.
"I'll tell you straight." Ying Zheng said, "The reason why the widow built this Great Wall is to guard the dragon veins under the Yin Mountain, so that those volcanoes will never erupt again, the earth will no longer shake, and the floods will no longer flood, so that the people can truly live a comfortable life." ”
Tou Man was stunned when he heard this: "Building this Great Wall can really play this role?" ”
Ying Zheng nodded confidently.
Touman saluted Yingzheng: "If this is the case, this king will thank the king of Qin for all the Huns, oh no, for all the herdsmen on the grassland." ”
"So, you understand the widow's request?" Ying Zheng asked.
Tou Man answered, patted his chest, and said, "This king will help you guard it, and you won't let others come to disturb you." ”
"Good!" Ying Zheng smiled and said, "In that case, let's sign the covenant." ”
