Chapter 423: Redefining the Border

When bypassing Jiuyuan City, Yingzheng received a report from the front of the horse, and Yu Touman, the Hun Dadan, had arrived in Yinshan and was waiting for him.

It seems that Touman really didn't stay too much in Yue's family, and after receiving Yingzheng's letter, he also attached great importance to it and arrived at Yinshan in advance.

After learning the specific location, Ying Zheng made a slight adjustment and led the army straight to the hinterland of Yinshan Mountain.

In the big tent of the Huns, Tou Man sat leisurely in the king's chair, looking at the news from the King of Qin, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Someone." Touman summoned his subordinates and ordered, "Pack up and line up with me to meet King Qin." ”

The Hun warriors split the formation to welcome their friends, and Touman led several prestigious elders from the headquarters to ride a black fox into the mountain pass of Yinshan Mountain to meet Yingzheng.

"Hahaha, my brother, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I really miss you a little." Seeing Yingzheng, Touman greeted him with a big smile.

Ying Zheng arched his hand and said, "Brother Touman, is it okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Touman looked at him and asked, "I don't think you look very good, but what happened?" ”

Ying Zheng sighed lightly: "Something happened at home, it's hard to explain." ”

Touman frowned, and then said: "There is nothing that can't be solved by drinking, let's sit down and talk while drinking." ”

Ying Zheng nodded, and followed Touman into the Xiongnu's tent with a few retainers and guards, and the army behind him stood by.

The banquet had already been prepared, and Touman pulled Yingzheng and sat side by side.

After a toast to each other, Touman asked: "Brother said that something happened at home, what is the matter?" ”

Only then did Ying Zheng conspire with Fan Yuzhi to poison Mrs. Huayang, and instigate Chang Wenjun to rebel against Qin and plot to kill Nansu.

"I see." Touman comforted, "Those thieves dare to do anything wrong in Xianyang, they really eat the heart of a leopard and a bear, but brother, you should also relax your heart, we can get this grudge back." ”

Ying Zheng said: "I came to Yinshan to find you, for this matter. At present, I have sent troops to attack Zhao, but this time the two countries of Nayan and Zhao are obviously colluding together, and they are bound to fight against me in one place. ”

"And this time, I am determined to destroy Yan and Zhao, but if they join forces, it will be somewhat troublesome."

"My plan is to solve them one by one, so I want Da Dan Yu to help me contain Yan Guo, so that they don't dare to support Zhao Guo rashly."

If you want to break each one, you must find a way to stop Yan and Zhao's succession.

And if you want to prevent Yan from supporting Zhao, the best way is undoubtedly to let the Xiongnu attack Yan, so that Yan will be weak.

"Of course it's fine." Tou Man agreed, and then made a slight mistake, "It's just that I just destroyed the Yue Clan, and then defeated Wusun, and I came back from a long journey, and it will take a while to repair, and this winter has passed, and the dried meat stored before has been almost consumed." ”

Ying Zheng knew that he was telling the truth, and he was not deliberately asking for benefits from him.

"In terms of military rations, I'll provide them." Ying Zheng said, "I have already brought some this time, and I will send someone to send them to you in the future." ”

"How does this work?" "I mean, you just need to give me two months. ”

Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "The most urgent thing now is really time. You don't have to really attack, just press the army to the border of Yan and put a lot of pressure on them. ”

"Bluffing?" Touman smiled, "That's going to be easy." ”

"It's not just a bluff, either." Ying Zheng said, "Didn't you covet Donghu for a long time, last time you helped me you took down the Yueshi, if you help me this time, how about we take down Donghu?" "Oh?" Touman's eyebrows moved, and the corners of his mouth rose, "This is a good idea, what are your plans?" ”

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and continued: "No matter whether the Yan State sends troops to aid Zhao, or confronts you in the northwest, its northeast direction must be empty, I can send an envoy to Donghu, offer some treasures to the king of Donghu, and then ask Donghu to use troops against Yan at the same time in the name of sharing the territory of Yan State." ”

"As long as Donghu takes the lead in attacking Yan Guo, then Yan Guo will definitely be in a situation where he faces enemies on three sides."

Tou Man smiled: "In this way, the Yan Kingdom will be destroyed." ”

But Yingzheng shook his head: "I didn't say it, our purpose is not Yanguo for the time being, but Donghu." Since Donghu sent troops to attack Yan State, their royal court must be empty, and at this time, wouldn't it be wonderful for you to make a move to attack the east and west. ”

"It's a clever idea." Tou Man cocked his thumb, "It is said that the art of war in the Central Plains is clever, and this time I really understood it." ”

For the nomads who can only rush and fight, Huaxia's strategy is indeed much more clever.

Ying Zheng saluted Touman, and then said, "If I help you get Donghu again this time, what does Brother Touman plan to reward me?" ”

Tou Man had a bold temperament, and slapped the table directly: "Brother, what do you want, just say it." ”

Ying Zheng didn't go around in circles, and took another cup: "It's not a secret, the last time we signed the covenant here, I said that because of some specific relationships, I need to build a Great Wall here." ”

"Well, I remember what you said, and when I returned to the headquarters, there were a few elders who objected." Touman said, "But they were all scolded by me, since they said that they would never go south, then what if you build a string of city walls, you just dig a piece of the sea?" ”

Ying Zheng laughed at what he said: "Don't say it, I really want to have a piece of the sea, it seems that only by defeating the Yan Kingdom can this wish be realized." ”

As we all know, the territory of Yan is surrounded by the Bohai Sea.

"It's easy to say, you want Yanguo, I want Donghu, it's decided." Touman also laughed.

The two drank another cup together, and Ying Zheng said again: "Longxi and Beidi, I have begun to clear the route and prepare to build the Great Wall, if we reach cooperation again this time, then I will start construction on both sides at the same time." ”

"No problem, you can just build it."

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "If this Great Wall is built, then the south of Yinshan Mountain will completely become my Huaxia territory, then the Hetao area ......."

"Even if you don't mention it, I'll still discuss it with you." Touman Zhengse said, "King Hutu didn't listen to me, and secretly colluded with the Yue Clan, and I also compensated you before." Now that Jiuyuan has been vacated, then I will hand this place over to you, which can be regarded as a formal apology for you. ”

Ying Zheng said: "That Jiuyuan is not an empty city. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Tou Man said, "Could it be that someone took advantage of the emptiness there and forcibly occupied it?" ”

Ying Zheng shook his head, and then explained the situation of Jiuyuan in general.

"These don't have long eyes." Tou Man scolded, "I actually ran back to Jiuyuan, such a big grassland, is there no place for them to live?" ”

Ying Zheng said nonchalantly: "It's no wonder that they are, the young men in the family have all died in Jiayuguan, where can the rest of the old and young women and children go, speaking of which, I also have some responsibility, so I didn't disturb their lives." ”

Tou Man's eyes when he looked at King Qin, suddenly felt a little strange.

If he had acted in the past, it would not be too much to slaughter all the families of those rebels, but as a foreign ruler, he would be so merciful to them?

This couldn't help but make him look at Yingzheng again.

"Why don't you do it." Ying Zheng said, "Since Jiuyuan County belongs to my Great Qin, then the Huns who live there will be considered to be members of our Qin nationality, and they will be regarded as people of Great Qin in the future, they will live in the city if they are willing to live, and they will graze in the wild if they are willing to graze, as long as they do not take the initiative to make trouble, the Qin court will definitely not embarrass them." ”

Touman said: "Then it's decided, Jiuyuan is given to you, and what to do with the Huns who live there is naturally up to you." ”

"I really can't bear to expel these old and young women and children." Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "It's better to look at it like this, the goods of my Great Qin and even Huaxia are very popular in the Western Regions, and presumably your Xiongnu will also have some demand, so it is better to set Jiuyuan as a transit station for the goods of our two states, so that those old and young can also make a living, and it is much more convenient for you to buy something." ”

"That's a good idea." Tou Man smiled, "Actually, as early as the last time I saw you, I wanted to mention this matter, but when King Loulan was there, I wasn't too embarrassed to talk to you." ”

It's true, knowing that the Western Regions are doing business with Daqin, Touman is so good that in front of King Loulan and Wuchan, he openly robbed other people's supplies.

Ying Zheng said: "What are you worried about, you must know that our goods in the Central Plains are available, if they are sold out, they can also increase the price, and the people's income can be better." ”

"I knew this, the last time we were in Yinshan, we should have written it into the covenant." Looking at Touman's appearance, he seems to regret it.

"Hahaha, look at your urgency." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "When I came out this time, I brought some samples, and I added some grain, and exchanged some cattle and sheep with you, you can see it." ”

"Cattle and sheep? Is it meant to live? Touman asked, "What do you want the cattle and sheep to do?" ”

Ying Zheng smiled mysteriously: "Respect the mountain god." ”

Touman only said that it was a worship before he was going to build the Great Wall, and he didn't ask much.

But what Ying Zheng thought was that since he came to Yinshan, how could he not go to visit the prisoner cow.

Besides, the feast prepared for gluttony before, even Jairus took care of it, and this time it couldn't be a disadvantage to the prison cow.

However, he only brought the grain and grass used by the army, and there were no live cattle or sheep in his hands, so he could only find a head man to exchange.

The two of you have a cup of glass, and while drinking, they talked about the details of cooperation again, from the general trend of the world to private matters.

"I said brother, that Yan Dan killed one of your princesses, it's really hateful." Touman said, "But don't be too sad, brother, the first time I saw you, I felt that you seemed to be quite tired and not as energetic as before." ”

Ying Zheng sighed: "I said it was a relief, but after all, it was my first woman, and my relationship has always been excellent, but now it is the day when heaven and man are separated forever, and we will never see each other again." ”

"You're not just that woman." Touman comforted him in his own way, "Aren't there still a few in your harem, it's really not good, my brother will send you a few stunning beauties, so that you won't be lonely on the road." ”

"Dude, I understand your heart." Ying Zheng politely refused, "But I really don't have the habit of going out with women, and I always feel that women are a bit cumbersome." ”

"That is, when a man goes out, he must be sharp." Touman said, "If you drag your family with your mouth, what will it look like, if you really lose the war, it will be convenient to run, but if you really take a woman out, you will tie your legs and feet." ”

"If you leave them behind, it won't be righteous enough, and if you take them with you, you won't be able to run fast." Touman said, "If you really let them be caught, it will be cheaper." ”

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "That's why it is said that once the love of children is long, it is destined to be short of breath." ”

Tou Man pondered the deep meaning of this sentence, and couldn't help laughing: "It's still your Central Plains culture, what you say is to listen, it's like I only drink and say foul language." ”

Ying Zheng raised his glass and smiled: "I'm also good at drinking." ”
