Chapter 38: The Battle (End) [4k, Ask for Subscription]
The back of the horse went farther and farther away, and when the shadow was completely gone, Maudun stood up.
His knees were already stained with frost.
Beside Mao Dun, several pro-soldiers looked at him, with some helplessness and a little inexplicability on their faces.
Perhaps for them, accepting Daqin's pardon is not a bad thing.
After all, although this is a shackle on the Xiongnu, and it is also a reason for Daqin to crusade against the Xiongnu in the future, but on the other hand, he is also a registration talisman for the Xiongnu, isn't it?
Could it be that when the subject country has already conceded defeat, can the overlord continue to attack?
Doesn't this make the world laugh?
If you want to show the demeanor of a great power, if you can do it?
If you do this, how can you convince the people of the world?
From then on, there may be fewer wars, which is indeed a good thing for the ordinary people of the Huns, and it is also a good thing for these soldiers.
After all, who in the world would expect war?
Mao Dun didn't speak, as if he didn't see the look of the soldier next to him, but just stood on the shore of the North Sea.
After an unknown amount of time, he drew his long knife from his waist, then turned around and began to write on the stone on the shore of the North Sea.
With one stroke of the knife, the knife slashes across the stone, making a piercing sound that makes people feel upset when they listen to it.
It only took a moment for the stone to be carved.
Maudon stood there, gazing at the stone, then turned and mounted his horse, and with his legs between his legs, he threw himself off into the distance.
The two soldiers beside him glanced at each other, quickly turned over and chased after them.
Before leaving, the two of them also glanced at the stone tablet, and saw the following words engraved on the stone tablet.
"King Maudun of Zhanxi, sealed here by the First Emperor"
When everyone was gone, only the stone monument and the Beihai standing on the ice field were left to witness this scene.

Frontier steppe king's tent
When Han Xin rushed back, he saw that there was already a large army stationed in the Xiongnu King City, which was the Mengjia army led by Meng Tian.
At this time, the situation inside the royal city was very clear.
A large army was cleaning up the mess, cleaning the ground of the blood and water, dragging the surrounding corpses into large pits, and then a fire burned them all.
Han Xin rode on horseback, watching this scene, only to feel that the city had become more sad.
He raised his head and looked into the distance, Meng Tian was standing on a hillside, holding his sword in his hand, the sword was stuck in the ground, he crossed his hands on the hilt, looking ahead.
Han Xin turned over and dismounted, and then walked to Meng Tian's side.
He just stood beside Meng Tian like that, not looking at him.
After a long time, Han Xincai said with a little emotion: "General Meng, I have lived up to the trust of Your Majesty, Fengchang, and you. β
"Shan Yuhe of the Xiongnu was driven further northwest by me, and Mao Dun accepted His Majesty's pardon and became the king of Zhanxi of Great Qin."
"Moreover, his subordinates have gradually accepted this identity, and feel that war is a meaningless thing, especially the war with Daqin."
"Perhaps, in less than a hundred years, we will be able to see those Huns see us as beings to look up to, rather than as enemies."
Meng Tian nodded slightly, in fact, he didn't like this kind of method, his favorite thing was to kill decisively.
If there are enemies and hidden dangers, just get rid of them and hidden dangers.
Why think so much?
However, since His Majesty and Fengchang had given such an order, he would not say anything, after all, he felt that his brain must not be as good as that ghost Chen Fengchang and the majestic Majesty.
"Hmm."
Meng Tian replied surgingly, and then said: "The head of the previous Shan Yu, I have already installed it for you, and this is your appreciation." β
"In addition, the tokens of the Xiongnu Yu clan and the golden seal of King Zuoxian have been collected here."
"With these three things, your merits can already overshadow most of the generals, and when you turn back to Great Qin, you can rely on them to award thirteen medals and become a middle guard."
"But now Your Majesty's mind is not very clear, and I don't know if the military merit system will continue to be implemented."
"In my opinion, even if it continues to be implemented, I am afraid that it will not continue to use the old system in the past, and it may be used in the system that Chen Fengchang experimented with."
"The title of the fifth rank of the prince and the prince is not enough to divide the seal, but it is enough to have the distinction of "country", "county" and "county".
"This time, it may be a little difficult to call the uncle, but the position of a viscount should not be able to escape."
Speaking of Meng Tian here, his face was also a little more or less pyrotechnic.
"Maybe you should be the "Viscount Han" in the future?"
Han Xin laughed helplessly: "What kind of joke did the general say, if the credit this time is really to be shared, it will definitely not be on me." β
"Feng Chang is strategizing, His Majesty is wise and decisive, and even the general is a solid rear."
"I'm at most a 'villain' who has taken all the credit, how can I be called a viscount for this credit?"
Han Xin looked at Da Qin in the distance and sighed lightly, but there was some envy and joy in his tone: "But after the credit this time, I'm afraid that Fengchang's title can be moved." β
"Fengchang is now just a county uncle, I'm afraid that when this good news is transmitted to Xianyang, coupled with Zhang Xilong's role in this war, Fengchang can be called a "county" uncle, or directly called a "uncle", right?"
Han Xin didn't know much about this so-called lord system, but he felt that according to Chen Ke's merits, a county magistrate was indeed treating him too lightly.
Meng Tian touched his nose, he didn't have a deference about Han Xin's question, and he didn't know.
So, he could only say: "This point depends on Your Majesty's decision." β
Speaking of this, Meng Tian smiled and said, "But then again, have you seen that Zhang Xilong?" β
"After all, if you talk about heroes, he can be regarded as the biggest hero of our war."
"If he hadn't reported the news, our war would not have gone so smoothly."
Han Xin shook his head slightly: "I thought he came to the general." β
He asked with a little curiosity on his face, "Isn't it even here with the general?" Where would that be? β
"Could it be that you have returned to Daqin?"
Meng Tian put away the long sword in his hand and sighed with emotion: "Then I don't know." β
"But since we want to talk about this war with Your Majesty, we don't have to worry about these things anymore, and naturally those people in Xianyang will deal with it."
Meng Tian sneered: "If we want to think about everything, then what do you want those Jiuqing in Xianyang to do?" β
"Are you waiting for a dry meal?"
Han Xin laughed deliciously: "Don't let the people in Xianyang hear the general's words, and Fengchang is also one of the Jiuqing." β
"It's the head of Jiuqing."
"When the general says this, it is inevitable that people will feel that the general is mocking Fengchang."
Meng Tian shook his head and laughed: "That kid knows how to touch fish all day long, if you don't talk about him, who else can I say?" β
The figures of the two people gradually walked in the direction of the royal city, leaving only a piece of yellow sand in place.
At this time, Zhang Xilong, who was still being discussed by the two of them, appeared more than 100 miles away from the royal city here.
He clenched the reins in his hand and looked at the mountains and rivers that were missing from the lake in the distance, and the Great Wall that was not completely built and was no longer needed.
It was his hometown.
"Sir, I'm back!"
...........
Yin Shan is further north.
A cold wind was blowing in the sky, and the Huns on the ground were constantly migrating into the distance, and they had received a signal before, so they also slowed down.
If you step too fast, you will die.
There are not many Huns today, and they can't be consumed for these reasons, these are the seeds when they arrived in that new world.
It is the seed of the re-burning flame of the Huns.
In a cold wind, there seemed to be someone sobbing and crying, and the winding around Yin Mountain seemed to be a piece of singing.
"Losing my Qilian Mountain will make my six animals restless; The loss of my self and the mountains have made my wife colorless. β
The song is mournful and long, lingering back at the foot of this Yin Mountain.
There was some smoke and dust in the distance, and several wolf knights led by him glanced at each other, and then stepped forward and looked at the person in the distance, with vigilance on their faces.
They were worried about whether the soldiers of the Qin people had caught up, so there was such a situation.
And when the smoke cleared, and they could see the shadows of the people inside, the expressions on their faces relaxed.
"Shan Yu!"
At first it was a cry of two soldiers, then it was a continuous shout, and then it became a continuous mountain cry.
All the Huns were crying and shouting their Shan Yu's name.
Maudun rode on horseback, looking at this scene, he didn't feel sad in his heart, he just raised his arms and shouted, "Don't be sad! β
"We're just staying away from our homeland for the time being."
"In that far northwest, a new savannah awaits us, a land without an owner!"
"There's enough land for us to live in peace!"
Maudun's face was full of fanatical conviction, as if he had seen the land: "Everyone, this is the gift of immortality! β
Listening to the bright future described by Maudun, the eyes of the people standing in the cold wind were full of hope.
Is it true that there are beautiful grasslands, enough grasslands for everyone to graze?
If it is real, isn't it a gift of immortality?
One by one, the old men prostrate on the ground, and their tears flowed silently: "Immortal Heaven is above!" β
"Immortal Heaven is above!"
"Immortal Heaven is above!"
Looking at the people who had regained their strength, Mao Dun's heart was relieved, but this breath was not completely relieved.
Because he had no way of knowing whether that legendary grassland existed.
If it exists, it's fine, if it doesn't......
Maudon couldn't imagine what these angry people would do.
The hometown in the distance is still waiting for him.
............
Xianyang City
Chen Ke has been very leisurely recently, because it is about to be the time of the Chinese New Year, and almost everything does not come to him.
Even the similarities are busy with government affairs at home, and they don't have time to bother him and find things to do for him.
He took the wine glass in front of him and took a sip, only to feel that such a life was simply happy like a fairy.
Even if he gave him the position of an immortal, he wouldn't change it.
"Steppingβ"
A rush of footsteps sounded in the distance, Chen Ke didn't react at all, he could hear from the footsteps who was coming.
Change source app, view the latest chapters of the book on multiple sites at the same time. γ
"Teacher, teacher, teacherβ"
There was a childish twist in the series of shouts, sounding like the cry of a child.
In fact, it is not just a small child, but two small children and a teenager.
Jianglu, Ziying, Huhai.
In the past few days, these three people have almost become frequent visitors to Chen Ke's mansion, and they have to come every day.
If they say that they have something, then it is indeed nothing, they are simply to bother Chen Ke and see if Chen Ke has anything to eat here.
Chen Ke had a little headache when he listened to the voices of these cubs, and the originally gentle and humble Ziying and the indifferent general Lu became a little naughty after following Hu Hai for a while.
Although these naughtiness are within a reasonable range, it still makes Chen Ke feel that he has experienced the daily life of raising cubs in advance.
"Say it."
Chen Ke raised his forehead and sighed: "What's the matter today?" β
Hu Hai looked at Chen Ke's expression and listened to Chen Ke's tone, and hurriedly pushed Ziying out: "Teacher, it's not me who wants to find you today, it's Ziying's brother who is looking for you." β
Baby?
Chen Ke was slightly stunned, and then raised his eyebrows: "Ziying, what's wrong?" What do you want me to do? β
Ziying scratched her head, looking a little embarrassed.
"Teacher."
Some time ago, Ying Zheng gave Ziying to Chen Ke as a disciple on the grounds of "how can the great Zongzheng of the royal family have no teacher".
Ziying looked at Chen Ke and continued: "Teacher, isn't it going to be the New Year these days? The streets are very lively. β
"I saw that the teacher was at home all the time and didn't go out, so I wondered if the teacher was uncomfortable, so I came to take a look."
Chen Ke shook his head slightly: "It's not that I didn't go out, but I didn't want to go out." β
He said vigorously: "It's nothing to go out, and it's very tiring to go out alone, I don't want to go out to be busy, it's better to lie at home, comfortable, and the day will pass." β
Ziying looked at Chen Ke with a little understanding in her eyes.
He immediately said, "Teacher, didn't you often say that "life is in motion" before? β
"Why don't we go out with the teacher today?"
"Then the teacher is not alone."
Looking at Ziying's gentle expression, Chen Ke was slightly stunned for a moment, and then noticed the care in Ziying's eyes.
Immediately, I smiled in my heart.
At a young age, there are a lot of worries.
But he still stood up, looked at Ziying and said, "Okay, the teacher will accompany you for a walk." β
