Chapter 257: The Hun Envoy
Chapter 257
"Good! Before resting, out of tonight's night duty, one person fifty squats, fifty sit-ups, fifty push-ups, a total of three groups, sit with me! Qin Xi said loudly.
"Ah~! Didn't you just do it last night? Why do you want to do it again tonight! Some of the soldiers said bitterly.
Of course, it is not difficult for them to master these three movements, but they are still very tired after doing it, after all, it is already very hard to travel during the day.
Qin Xi said: "You just ate today, so will you still eat tomorrow?" Less nonsense! Hurry up and do it! โ
This is already the fifth day after leaving Xianyang, and during these five days, when the whole army is on the road during the day, when passing through the city, the Qinxi Chamber of Commerce will prepare rich food to comfort the five thousand soldiers.
And before resting at night, Qin Xi asked the five thousand soldiers who went out to vigil to do these things, and they could only sleep when they were done, and even let every wrong commander in the army supervise, if they found that they were lazy or covered up, the whole army would add a group every day.
None of the five thousand soldiers wanted to do anything, they just wanted to sleep, but as the so-called eating people with soft mouths and short hands, the Qinxi Chamber of Commerce sent delicious food and drink along the way, if you don't listen to others, it doesn't seem to be good.
Qin Xi originally wanted to torture this group of guys, but after a day of hurrying, he felt tired, so he didn't torture these guys.
As for doing this action every night, it's just because Qin Xi doesn't want to practice marksmanship by himself when these guys are idle, and they practice it.
After everyone finished their movements with a scolding attitude, they scolded and found a place to rest, while Qin Xi was still practicing marksmanship there.
The five commanders gathered together and were talking about Qin Xi.
"You said that this Overseer had already practiced swordsmanship and marksmanship, and he wouldn't really want to go into battle to kill the enemy."
"Lao Yan, don't talk nonsense, the president of the Qinxi Chamber of Commerce, he is said to have more money than the national treasury, how can he go into battle to kill the enemy, that is, to show us."
"I can't say that, I heard that he is the brother of the former general, and it is definitely not a good stubble to be able to worship the former general."
"You said that he is a generation older than General Zhenbei, if General Zhenbei wants to protect him, he will definitely not let him go into battle to kill the enemy at that time."
"That's it! Don't discuss the above things, so as not to get angry, so let's rest quickly. โ
"Lao Zhu, why are you getting younger and bolder the younger, just talk about it in private, it's okay, you won't have a small belly and chicken intestines on it."
This is Qin Xi who swept off a tree the thickness of his arm with one shot, and said, "I don't know about others, but I will." Out of Lao Zhu, the four of you will write a 500-word review and hand it over to me tomorrow night before you rest. โ
"I can't write! My lord. A hurried centurion said.
Qin Xi put away the gun and said, "Then you can ask them to teach you five words, write one word a hundred times, don't worry, I brought a pen, and I will get the paper for you when I pass through the city in front tomorrow." โ
The four commanders suddenly looked at Qin Xi with a bitter face, writing a review and punishing copying, aren't these all the means by which the teacher punishes the students? How can I have it in the army?
Lao Zhu said with a smile on the side: "Several, write slowly, I will supervise you on the side." โ
"Lao Zhu! Be a good person, you! The four of them beat Lao Zhu at this time, and they all had the heart to do it.
After a night's rest, the 5,000 soldiers set out on the road again and rushed to the border.

On the northern border, Wang Ben looked at the Xiongnu envoy in front of him and was extremely surprised.
Wang Ben asked, "Are you really the one sent by Da Shan Yu to sue for peace?" โ
Haji said: "General Wang, I don't have any need to lie to you, after all, I still want to go back to the grassland." โ
"What is your name and what is your status in the Huns? Also, why did Touman send you to negotiate peace with our Great Qin. Wang Ben asked, leaning back in his chair.
Haji said: "My name is Haji, and I am the leader of the Haji tribe, the four major tribes of the Xiongnu. Now our Xiongnu Da Dan Yu is no longer the leader of Touman, but his son Mao Dun. โ
"Maudun?" It was the first time Wang Ben had heard this name, and as for the name Haji, he had heard Meng Tian mention it, and he was a diehard loyalist under Touman.
Haji continued: "Our Mao Dunshan asked me to come to Daqin for peace talks, because the cold winter is coming, and it is difficult for us to get through this winter with our supplies, so I hope that His Majesty the Emperor of Daqin can give us a favor to let us survive this cold winter." โ
Wang Ben smiled and said, "Do you think we Daqin people are stupid? Give you supplies to survive this cold winter, and then let you invade my Great Qin again in the future! โ
Haji hurriedly said: "General Wang, as long as Daqin is willing to give me supplies for the winter, we promise that we will never get close to Daqin's border again!" โ
Wang Ben tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Since you took the initiative to negotiate peace, then your peace talks are sincere?" โ
Haji took out a round fist-sized red gem from his bosom and said, "This is our Da Danyu's favorite luminous gemstone, dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin. And as long as the peace talks are successful, we guarantee that we will give Daqin 5,000 sheep and 1,000 high-grade war horses every year! โ
Wang Ben sat up straight all of a sudden, the price offered by this Mao suddenly was really high, and there seemed to be no reason to refuse.
But the higher the price, the more suspicious it is. Coupled with the changes of the Huns on the grassland before, Wang Ben had to be suspicious.
However, since the other party has sent an envoy to negotiate peace, he can't refuse it all at once, and he has to let His Majesty make up his mind about this matter, and he only needs to guard against the Huns.
Haji saw that Wang Ben was pondering, so he continued: "General Wang, you can wait for the peace talks, but we can't wait, when the cold winter comes, we will really freeze to death and starve to death on the grassland, and ask General Wang to give an answer as soon as possible." โ
Wang Ben got up and said: "The matter of peace talks between the two countries, I can't be finalized by a general, I need to send Your Excellency to Xianyang to meet my Majesty the Great Qin Emperor, and let His Majesty the Emperor decide." โ
Haji saluted and said, "Then please ask General Wang Ben to send someone to follow me, and we will set off immediately." โ
"Not in a hurry." Wang Ben leaned on the case and said: "I will rest for one night today, and tomorrow I will send someone to send Your Excellency to Xianyang, but in the meantime, I hope that there will be no conflict between the two countries." โ
"General Wang, rest assured, our big order will definitely restrain the warriors under him." Haji said.
"That's good, come on! Send the Haji leader down to rest! Wang Ben shouted.
After Haji left, Wang Ben turned to look at the map hanging on the wall, the border between the Xiongnu and Daqin stretched for thousands of miles, but there were only three places where the Huns could enter, and the easiest was Shangjun!
Regardless of whether the peace talks of the Huns are true or not, Wang Ben must be prepared and must not allow the Huns to enter the territory of Great Qin!
Wang Ben turned around and called all his generals over and began to discuss how to deal with the attack of the Huns.
