"The Huns are just a dog with a broken back that was broken by my Great Qin, and they will not be afraid. It's just that outside the Great Wall, there is less land available for cultivation and more land suitable for grazing, and our Qin State sent troops to attack the Xiongnu, and there is not much benefit. ”

"I want to ask, the Xiongnu are the defeated generals of your Yue clan, and now they are in civil strife again, you take the opportunity to attack the Xiongnu, you can expand your power to the north of Deshui in one fell swoop, and occupy the best pasture near Yinshan, you don't need my Daqin help at all, why did you come to invite us?"

The general asked rhetorically.

Sugartha's face was solemn and said: "The wounded head wolf has licked its wounds, and under the threat of foreign enemies, the wolves have returned to the command of the head wolf, and it will lead the hungry wolves to regain the lost land." ”

The general shook his head and said: "Because you seized Henan, but let the chaotic Xiongnu reunite, just want to come to your Yue clan for revenge?" You are a big country on the grassland, and you have more cavalry than the Huns, so why do you need to ask my Daqin for help. ”

Su Jiasha smiled bitterly: "The Yue clan is naturally not afraid of the Huns. But the king of the Yue clan has been reluctant to start a war with the Xiongnu, this attack on the Xiongnu, to seize this vast pasture east of the river, in fact, by the Kushan Department and the Xiumi Department, although the warriors of the two divisions are many, but it is still not as good as the unified Xiongnu. ”

"So we hope to get the friendship of your Qin people, and deal with the hungry wolves in the north together, after winning the Xiongnu, in addition to giving you Qin people the land that can be cultivated, the two Xi marquis are also willing to send a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock as gifts."

Su Jiasha said: "The two marquis have never had a conflict with your Qin State, and the two countries are close to each other, so they can get along amicably. ”

"The Xiongnu in the north are a brutal race, once they defeat us and reoccupy this land, their people will multiply more, and finally they will definitely look to the land of your Qin people, just like a long time ago, to plunder your cities and people. The Xiongnu are our common enemy, the general of the Qin State, please join forces with us. ”

General Qin's face was hesitant, as if he was moved.

"General, sending troops to conquer is a major matter of the country, and it needs to be decided today."

The Northland Commander spoke, reminding.

The general suddenly said busily: "It's useless for the two envoys to tell me about the alliance, why don't I send someone to send you to Xianyang to see the king of my Qin country." ”

Hearing this, Sugarsha showed a disappointed expression and glanced at Yaguda next to her.

Yaguda said loudly: "This is very good, I heard that the emperor of your Qin State is the master of the East, and he is extremely noble, we need to go back to report to the two marquis, prepare precious gifts, and then go to meet the emperor of your Qin State with the gifts." ”

The two envoys of the Yue clan took advantage of the matter of preparing gifts, and said goodbye, and refused the general's banquet and drink.

Before leaving, Sugartha looked at a young man sitting on the right side of the tent.

The man had a handsome face, dressed in the black robe of the Qin people, with a short beard under his chin, and his wheat-colored skin showed off his healthy body.

The reason why Sugartha looked at him was because she felt that the man looked at her differently than the others.

Including the general of the Qin State, the Qin people in the tent looked at her with a little strange eyes.

That kind of gaze is familiar to Sugartha, her appearance is inherited from her mother, even among the Yue clan, it is considered a rarity, and is often regarded as a heretic.

Only this young man, but his eyes are very peaceful, coupled with his extraordinary appearance, naturally attracted her attention.

"What's your name?"

Before leaving, Sugarsha adhered to the straightforwardness of a prairie woman and asked directly.

The young man was stunned.

Many Qin people in the tent were all tight.

"Chen Ping."

The man smiled, and said it naturally and decently.

The corners of General Qin's mouth twitched, and his eyes were a little resentful.

"Chen Ping, I remember this name."

Sugartha nodded, smiled exoticly, and followed Yakuda out of the tent.

As soon as the two Yueshi envoys left, except for the Beidi County Cheng who went to see each other off, the faces of all the people in the tent changed.

"General, if the Xiongnu really want to make a move against the Yue Clan, this is a good opportunity, we can wait and see what happens, sit back and watch them fight, and finally the fisherman will benefit."

Li Ju, the warden of Beidi County, said with a little excitement, but the person he was talking to was not the general on the main seat, but the young man who called himself Chen Ping.

Zhao Tuo shook his head with a smile and said, "Do you believe what she said?" ”

Yang Tong, the lieutenant of Beidi County, said: "There are indeed only two Yueshi people who have invaded Henan, and if the Xiongnu civil strife ends, they will definitely go south and recapture Henan from the Yueshi people, which should be no problem." ”

Zhao Tuo looked at Li Shiqi beside him.

Li Shiqi understood and said: "What the county lieutenant said is that the main thing is that these two envoys of the Yue clan said that the king of the Yue clan did not support them in fighting with the Xiongnu, and they could only ask my Qin people for help. ”

"The Yue clan is strong and is not afraid of the Huns, even if the two Marquis of Henan are not the opponents of the Huns, they can sacrifice some interests to ask for the help of other Yue clans. I didn't ask my own clan, but came to find our Qin people, or when the cavalry of our Qin army had just gathered here, this is a bit of a coincidence. ”

Chen Ping also stepped down from the main seat and said, "Yes, and since they are going to form an alliance with my Qin State, they don't even bring gifts. After receiving our reply, he left under the pretext of preparing a gift and wanted to get out of the jam immediately, which is not an act of sincere alliance. In my opinion, the Huns are just a front for them, and their purpose is actually to enter the fortress and test our hypocrisy, and they will not come again at all. ”

The two strategists dissected the matter, and Li Junshou and Yang Junwei also frowned.

Zhao Tuo smiled and said, "No matter what these Yue Clan people think, will they send envoys again." Now that our army has not arrived, the cold winter will come, and it is not the time for war, so we just have to train and cultivate here, wait and see the changes outside the plug, and wait until next year's spring ploughing, and then get out of the plug to fight. ”

"That's what the Admiral said."

The crowd said yes.

Zhao Tuo looked at the delicate armor on Chen Ping's body again, and said with a smile: "Even if they really come to test the truth and reality, Chen Sheng, the 'general', may have lost their eyes, and in the future, he is a backhand that can be used." ”

Chen Ping smiled bitterly: "A despicable person, even if he wears a general's armor, he does not have the demeanor of a general. Before leaving, the woman of the Yue clan asked the general's name and surname, didn't she notice the heroism in the general? ”

Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment, thinking of Su Jiasha's name before leaving.

He touched his chin and said, "I've pretended to be mediocre, and I can still be noticed by her, this woman has a good eye." ”

……

Outside the Great Wall, Sugarsha, who came out of the fortress, breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the gate of the fortress behind her slowly close.

They are a nomadic people who live in the vast grasslands and have never entered the land of Sene in the east.

The Yueshi people, who were accustomed to freedom, had a sense of imprisonment as soon as they entered the land surrounded by high walls, which made them chill all over their bodies, and they didn't dare to stay longer, for fear that those Qin people would suddenly turn their faces and make them unable to return to the vast grassland.

"Noble girl, how do you feel about that general of the Qin State?"

Yaguda drove his horse over, and spoke a little respectfully, and only after leaving the Qin people's fortress did they dare to talk about these topics.

Su Jiasha shook her head and said, "In the words of their Qin people, this general is quite elegant, but I think he has less manly spirit, not like a person who can defeat Xiongnu Shan Yu." ”

Yaguda said with a smile: "I heard that the Xiongnu Shan was coaxed by him with a trick, and then he was defeated by a sneak attack at night." It is also normal for such generals to be unmasculine. ”

Sugartha laughed: "You're right, that general should be such a person, with a conspiracy but no heroic spirit. In my opinion, the man named Chen Ping in his tent is not an ordinary person, and that kind of person should be a hero. ”

Saying that, Su Jiasha turned her horse's head and said: "Let's go back first, the messenger from Sene is right, the Qin State has gathered a large army here, they have the intention of attacking us, we should go back and report to the Marquis of Xi, and prepare early." ”
