The Northland Lieutenant returned from the Great Wall and surprised everyone with the news he brought back.

The two strategists under Zhao Tuo's command were both frowning.

Chen Ping said: "General, there are two possibilities now, one is that the Wu clan did not disclose to the Yue clan that our Qin State was going to capture Henan, and the Yue clan people really wanted to form an alliance with us to attack the Xiongnu. ”

"But Ping didn't think it was very likely. The Yueshi was already strong, but now taking advantage of the Xiongnu civil strife, they occupied Henan and drove the Huns to the north of Deshui and near Yinshan. They obviously have a strong upper hand, and there is no need to come to my Great Qin to form an alliance. ”

Deshui is the name of the Yellow River in the Qin Dynasty, after Qin Shi Huang was called the emperor, he took Qin Shangshui De, and the name of the river was Deshui.

Zhao Tuo bowed his head slightly, motioning for Chen Ping to continue.

Chen Ping said: "Another possibility is that the Wu clan has already leaked the military plan of our Qin State to those Yue clans, so the Yue clan sent people to investigate along the Great Wall. They said that they were going to send envoys into the fortress, perhaps in the name of an alliance, to check the reality of our Qin army and test whether our Great Qin really had the intention of attacking Henan. ”

"What Chen Sheng said is that it is very likely that the people of the Yue Clan are here to test. My Great Qin is a powerful country in the East, and I have never had a grudge against the Yue Clan, even if someone really leaks the matter that our Great Qin wants to attack Henan, if they are not sure and clear, I am afraid that they will not dare to make a decision easily, and it is normal to come to test the truth. ”

Li Shiqi smiled and agreed, looking at Chen Ping's eyes a little vigilant.

This little fellow's brain is turning very fast, and he has shown enough wisdom and scheming since he defected to the general for more than a month now.

Maybe because of his youth, Chen Ping is a little worse than him in terms of experience and eloquence, but after all, he is a brain, far more threatening than Shima, Black Ass and others.

In the past, the general only had one of his advisers, and he opened his mouth to Mr. Li, shut up and ask him only for advice.

Now there is an extra Chen Sheng in the mouth, how can it not make people feel delicious.

Thinking of this, Li Shiqi added: "But there is another possibility, that is, Wu Shi Lu did not leak the news to the Yue Clan, but because my Qin State mobilized several county cavalry, and at the same time, in addition to the northern land, there were actions in Longxi County and Shang County, or someone in other counties leaked the news, which aroused the vigilance of the Yue people, so they sent people to investigate, it is also possible." ”

Chen Ping glanced at Li Shiqi, who smiled at him.

Zhao Tuo nodded, it would be good to have more staff, and in a blink of an eye, he analyzed the various possibilities of the matter, just waiting for him, the leader, to make a final decision.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Tuo said: "What you said makes sense, but the specifics are still to wait until you see the envoys of the Yue Clan, and you may be able to get more information from them." ”

The Qin State mobilized tens of thousands of cavalry to gather on the border, and the movement was still quite large, and it was very likely that the Yue clan had received the news and knew about the existence of their troops, so Zhao Tuo did not intend to hide it, and was ready to meet the envoy.

It's just how to meet, but he has some plans.

Zhao Tuo looked at Chen Ping, who was tall and white in front of him with a handsome face, and then looked at his wheat-colored skin, and his heart moved.

Fiction and reality, reality and fiction.

……

Two days later, a Great Wall fortress built in the era of King Zhaoxiang of Qin opened its gates, and the envoys of the Yue clan entered the territory of Qin, and under the guidance of the cavalry of the Northland, they came to Yiqu City.

"There is actually a woman among the envoys of the Yue Clan."

When the envoy of the Yue clan entered the general's tent outside Yiqu City, it caused many Qin people to be surprised.

In addition to the dozens of Yue's cavalry guarding them, there were two envoys of the Yue's clan, one man and one woman.

"The envoy of the Marquis of Humi, the tooth bone."

"Sugartha, the envoy of the Marquis of Guishan."

Zhao Tuo sat in the tent and looked at the envoy of the two months clan who had entered the account.

Yaguda was an old man in his fifties, and when he came up, he saluted the general of the Qin State and said the words of greeting in the stumbling Qin language.

Compared with this old man of the Yue Clan, the one who attracted the attention of the Qin people the most was another envoy from the Marquis of Guishuang of the Yue Clan.

This woman named Su Jiasha, about twenty years old, untied her veil outside the tent, revealing a high-nosed and deep-eyed appearance, which was very different from the Central Plains at first glance, and even looked like an old man named Yaguda next to her.

The Qin officials, including the Beidi county guard and the county officer, all looked at her curiously, not admiring her beauty, but feeling strange like looking at a monkey.

"The beauty of the Western Regions breed."

Zhao Tuo secretly said in his heart, compared to the Qin people who had little knowledge, he had never seen anything, and he could appreciate this exotic beauty normally.

The Yueshi were nomadic in the Hexi Corridor, as far as Dunhuang, and controlled the passage into the Western Regions, so there would naturally be exchanges with the countries of the Western Regions.

This can be seen from the exotic gold jewelry worn by Sugasha.

Therefore, it is normal for the Yue clan and the countries of the Western Regions to intermarry with each other and give birth to such mixed-race offspring or something.

As for the Marquis of Guishan sending a woman as a messenger, Zhao Tuo was slightly surprised.

It is rare for a woman to be a messenger in this era.

However, he thought that he had watched a certain TV series about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty before, in which Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions and saw the queen of the Dayue clan, and he was relieved.

It's just that as soon as Sugarsha spoke, he was still stunned.

Because she actually spoke fluent Qin, although the accent still seemed a little weird, it was enough for everyone to understand.

"The Marquis of Guishuang asked me to ask the generals of the Qin State, why do you Qin State want to mobilize troops to gather at the border, is there any purpose?"

Su Jiasha's eyes were blazing, staring directly at the general of the Qin State on the main seat.

This general is tall and fair-skinned, and his appearance is completely different from those grassland men who blow wind and sand all day long, and he looks a little exquisite.

The general had already prepared and replied: "Your Yueshi originally lived in Hexi, but suddenly invaded Henan and defeated the Huns, which looks violent. My Qin State has gathered troops here, naturally to prevent you Yue Clan people from coming to invade the land of my Qin State. ”

This answer obviously stunned the envoy of the two months.

Sugartha and Yaguda looked at each other, the answer they hadn't expected.

Ya Guda hurriedly shook his head and said, "My Yue Clan has no intention of violating your Qin State, and I ask the general not to misunderstand." ”

Su Jiasha chuckled: "General Qin is joking, our Yue clan people make a living by herding, and the tribe moves with the pasture, and we are not interested in the land that you Qin people have fenced with a big city, what we want is the pasture in the north that flows with honey and milk." ”

"This time, we are here on behalf of the two Xi Marquis, precisely to join forces with you Qin people and deal with the Huns in the north together."

"Defeat them, the land that can be cultivated belongs to you Qin people, and the pastures for grazing belong to our Yue clan, I don't know what the generals of the Qin State think?"

Although the Qin officials and Qin generals in the account had heard the county lieutenant say that these Yue clan people asked for an alliance, they still had a sense of absurdity when they really heard the Yue clan envoy say the words of the alliance.

The Qin State was preparing to attack the Yue Clan, but the Yue Clan didn't know it, and they were still thinking about pulling the Qin people to fight the Xiongnu, what kind of thing was this.

The general said: "Your Yue clan is a big country in the grassland, you can drive away the Huns south of Deshui, you are fully capable of defeating them, you covet the fertile pastures of the Huns, you can lay it yourself, why do you want to come to form an alliance with my Qin State?" ”

Su Jiasha's eyes lit up, staring at the general of the Qin State on the main seat, and said: "The Huns are a brutal wolf pack, they occupy the pastures in the east, although our Yue clan is strong, but it is difficult to win the battle with the Xiongnu, and it is very difficult to seize this land south of the river. ”

"Until you, the general of the Qin State, defeated the Xiongnu Shan Yu in the north and let them kill each other and fall into chaos, we can send troops to defeat the Huns and take this land."

"You Qin people have fought against the Xiongnu, and our Yue clan also has a grudge against the Xiongnu, isn't it right for everyone to join forces to deal with the common enemy?"

"You are a man who has defeated the Huns Shan Yu, are you afraid of a wolf that has been defeated by you?"

Hearing the praise of this Yueshi woman, the general was obviously a little uncomfortable.

There is too little information about Yue's family, and here we use the information of the Da Yue's family in the "Hanshu Western Regions Biography", and the five Xihou are written according to the names of the Western Han Dynasty.
