Mao Dun endured the emotions that were about to have an attack, looked at the Donghu envoy and waved his hand: "I already know your sincerity, please take a break first, I will discuss this matter seriously with my subordinates." ”

Wu Duo nodded when he heard this, and Shi Shiran retreated.

In his opinion, this negotiation is already a matter of course.

After all, the Qin State only sent 10,000 soldiers and horses, and it was even more difficult for the Xiongnu and the Qin State to resist the combined forces of the Dayue clan and Donghu, and Mao Dun was sending horses and women, cowardly and incompetent, and even his beloved woman did not dare to protect him, in this situation of disparity in strength, how could he dare to go against Donghu?

After the envoy of Donghu took it away, Mao Dun looked at the ministers under the account and said, "The envoy of the king of Donghu has made it clear, what do you think?" ”

When the ministers heard this, they expressed their opinions.

This time they are more inclined to Donghu.

After all, there are many people in Donghu, and the Qin State sees that civil strife is about to start, so there is no need for the Xiongnu to fight for the life and death of Great Qin.

Turning into a barbarian is already incorruptible and shameless, and the so-called alliance relationship is just a piece of waste paper in their eyes.

Moreover, there were not any friendly states between Qin and the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu were beaten like this by Qin.

Some people suggested that the troops should not be moved in order to plan for the future, and some people suggested that they should simply not do anything and continue to raise troops with the Donghu Yue clan to take advantage of the chaos to recapture the land of Hexi Hetao.

The few tribes that had been thoroughly absorbed by the Qin State suggested that the voice of uniting with Great Qin to resist the Donghu Yue clan was insignificant.

"But before the coalition, Donghu asked the Xiongnu to cede thousands of miles of land." Maudon frowned and spoke.

"How vast are the grasslands? What is the land of a thousand miles? Besides, the Xiongnu chose water and grass to live, and there was no point in grazing land like this. The right sage king of the Huns spoke.

Unlike the farming people, the nomads are not very obsessed with the land, they live nomadically, and there is no real hometown in the grasslands of Nuoda.

The Right Sage King spoke, and the voice of approval rose from the account.

Only Mao Dun, who once sent a BMW to a woman and looked cowardly, timid and incompetent, and was afraid of King Donghu, had more and more anger on his face.

Until the people in the account were in an uproar and agreed to abandon Daqin, Mao Dun kicked over the case.

"When the king of Donghu sent people to ask for his father's thousands of horses, they thought that Donghu was too deceitful and asked me to send troops to attack Donghu, and I gave it.

When the king of Donghu sent people to ask for my woman, you were furious, thinking that this was a great shame for the country.

But I gave it all, for me, women and BMWs are nothing, at that time the Xiongnu had just suffered a big defeat, and their vitality was greatly damaged, at this time it was selfish to attack Donghu for a BMW and a woman, and I couldn't waste the lives of my tribes because of my own selfishness.

And now the king of Donghu has sent people to ask for the land, and you have agreed, but I am the only one who can enjoy the BMW and the woman, and this land, although it is barren, everyone under my command can reach there.

For me, women and BMWs are not worth mentioning, land is the foundation of the country, how can it be easily given to others? ”

After that, Mao Dun waved his knife to cut off the case, and then said: "Donghu despises me, I don't care, but if he wants to take away the land of the Xiongnu, I will never allow it!"

The Xiongnu lost Hexi and Hetao because they were inferior to others, but I have never heard of the truth that they gave away the land on which they depended for their survival just because they were afraid of others! ”

"I have made up my mind, join forces with the Qin State, and the Donghu Yue Clan are incompatible!"

The ministers under the account were all shocked when they heard this, and looked at Mao Dun, but they felt that what he said was very reasonable.

Maudun's eloquence is undoubtedly outstanding.

He treats Beauty and BMW as a private resource and land as a public resource.

So that everyone understood what he was saying.

Maudun's steadfastness and excellent logic convinced everyone of him, and a smile finally appeared on Maudun's face.

"Order, kill the envoy of Donghu, summon the envoy of Qin, send troops tonight, I want to blitz Donghu!"

The plot that Maudon had carefully planned for a long time finally reached the point of implementation as he expected.

With the help of Qin, while resisting the annexation of Donghu and Yue, he recuperated and showed weakness to the enemy.

And now, the whole grassland thinks that the Xiongnu's Shan Yu Maodun is a weak and incompetent person, and he doesn't even dare to protect his own women and BMWs, so the king of Donghu is becoming more and more arrogant and does not take the Xiongnu in his eyes.

But King Donghu must not have thought of it.

When Maudun himself sent his beloved woman and BMW to Donghu, the loyal soldiers and emissaries he sent had secretly memorized the terrain along the way, and when they returned, they drew maps on parchment.

The most thing Mao Dun did every day was to look at the map and think about the route of the army, and his mind had more than one route to blitz Donghu.

He and his most loyal and courageous generals did not know how long the plan had been, and I don't know how many disagreements and conflicts had arisen over the route of the march.

And now, the time has come!

Donghu dared to ask for land at such a time like the Xiongnu who were preparing to unite, which showed that Donghu had completely ignored the Xiongnu.

The arrogance of the king of Donghu made Mao Dun realize that Donghu would definitely not guard against the Xiongnu.

The combined forces of the Donghu Yue clan are imminent, and the troops have also been fully mobilized, and because of Maodun's always weak attitude, I am afraid that there are not too many troops to guard the place where the territory of Donghu and Maodun meets.

That's right, it's the barren land that King Donghu wanted, near the court of King Donghu.

He will turn the land that King Donghu wants to claim into a tomb where Donghu is buried!

The generals under the account received the order, and under the leadership of Mao Dun, they rushed out and went straight to the camp where the Donghu envoy Wu Duo lived, preparing to kill the Donghu envoy to clear his heart and blitz Donghu.

However, there are people who are faster than them!

When Mao Dun led people to kill Wuduo, there was still a distance away, and he had already seen the flames shining in all directions, and the sound of shouting and killing gradually rose.

When they were about to arrive, the shouts of killing were extinguished.

Only then did Mao Dun see that his soldiers had surrounded the camp where the Donghu envoy Wu Duo and others lived, but he cowered, as if he was afraid of something and did not dare to move forward.

Mao Dun was slightly shocked in his heart, and the suddenness of the matter made him have no time to think, so he took the ministers to remove the soldiers, only to see that outside the camp where the Donghu envoys lived, a figure stood there proudly with a bloody head in his hand, surrounded by the corpses of more than a dozen Donghu envoys and more than a dozen Hun soldiers who had completely hit the street.

Emissary of the State of Qin!!

That tall and mighty Qin general who followed behind Li Shiqi!

He broke into the camp and killed the messenger of Donghu!

Xiang Yu held the head of the Donghu envoy and confronted the Huns, and under his gaze, he saw that the crowd had split a road, and Mao Dun was standing not far away.

Xiang Yu did not hesitate, and threw the head of the black snatch directly at the feet of Mao Dun.

"Since you have agreed with Qin to become the country of uncles and nephews, and have signed an alliance, and now you are going to meet the envoy of Donghu, Mao Dun, is this the attitude of the Xiongnu towards their allies?"

Mao Dun's pupils shrank, and he looked at the figure surrounded by his own corporals standing there firmly, as if it was not Xiang Yu but him who was surrounded!

Yes, Mao Dun noticed that Xiang Yu's gaze had locked on him.

That's how he looks at his prey when he's hunting.

The kind of gaze that locks on a person, he will never admit it.

Just kidding, crazy?

Wouldn't this guy want to rush in front of him?

Looking at that figure, Mao Dun's heart trembled for no reason, he always felt that if he said something wrong, this guy would definitely rush to him and kill him with all his might.

Outside the crowd, Li Shiqi slowly straightened his clothes and walked in front of Mao Dun with a calm step, glared at Xiang Yu with a faint gaze, and then looked at Mao Dun with a smile on his face: "Shan Yu, I think now we should talk about the matter of joining forces to fight against the Donghu Yue clan!" ”

The corner of his eye jumped.

The Qin State, as expected, is still the Qin State.

It was never something he could use at will!

……

On the other side, the distant Xianyang City, inside the imperial palace of Great Qin.

In the palace, the First Emperor sat in front of the desk, bowed down and stood in it and spoke softly.

"Your Majesty......"

"The matter of the hidden palace, can you find out?" The First Emperor looked at Qian and asked.

"In the Hidden Palace, there is indeed a woman named Yingnu, but she has passed away not long after entering the Hidden Palace......" Qian said.

The matter of the Hidden Palace is not easy to check, because the backup records of decades ago are gone, and even if there are records, it is impossible to focus on an insignificant woman.

Fortunately, there are still old people alive in the Hidden Palace, and after unremitting investigation and inquiry, it is finally determined that there was indeed such a person as Yingnu in the Hidden Palace.

The reason why some people still remember Yingnu more than 20 years ago is because Yingnu's appearance is too outstanding......

It's just that according to the insiders' recollections, not long after Yingnu entered the hidden palace, she died because of walking in the water, and there has been no follow-up since then.

In the Hidden Palace, it is normal for a person to die.

What's more, just one person died.

This place is not a place for people to stay, and even if they don't die because of an accident, few people can live in the Hidden Palace for more than ten or twenty years.

"Dead?"

The First Emperor frowned.

"Is there an autopsy? Really? The First Emperor asked.

"Inside the Hidden Palace...... There was no inquest, and the cause of death was waterlogging, and according to the man's recollection, after the fire was extinguished, it had burned beyond recognition......" Qian said.

He knew what the First Emperor meant, but Qian couldn't give an accurate answer.

Where is there a work in the Hidden Palace?

Unless it is a particularly obvious homicide that needs to be investigated, otherwise death is death, and no one will specifically ask for an autopsy.

After such a long time, the ghost knows if it was Yingnu herself who burned to death back then?

He could only hand over the information he knew to the First Emperor and let the First Emperor distinguish for himself.

"I know, step down." The first emperor did not force Qian to find out.

After all, more than 20 years ago, it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the First Emperor would never criticize his subordinates in this kind of matter.

However, the clue is obvious, and it is broken again.

Yingnu, who once had a spring breeze with Fusu, died.

Not long after entering the Hidden Palace, he was burned alive due to a fire.

The body is illegible......

This kind of thing is clearly strange.

But if this is the case, then the question is, how can a weak woman plan to get out of the fire?

This shows that Yingnu is not the only one behind the matter.

Things seem to have suddenly become complicated again.

I'm afraid that the identity of this Ying girl is not just as simple as a palace maid.

Of course, all this is just the speculation of the First Emperor.

Perhaps, that fire was an accident, and Yingnu was indeed burned to death?

What the First Emperor didn't expect was that the investigation of Zhao Si's life history would also find out such a thing.

So the question is, does Zhao Si have anything to do with Yingnu?

Who are Zhao Si's parents who have never shown up?

Obviously, Zhao Si's identity is definitely not just an abandoned baby.

Now there are many clues, but they are fragmented, and they are obviously broken, and the First Emperor thinks about it and decides to summon the former parties.

"Summons the order, summon Ji Chang to enter the palace!"

When Qian heard the order, he immediately sent palace people to summon Ji Chang, who had raised Zhao Si back then.

Horses gallop......

In the countryside, Ji Chang is diligently turning over the burning fields.

The so-called slash-and-burn farming, farmers have always burned the land.

"Zhou Li" has clouds: "Autumn is over, burnt stubble"

The eighteen types of Qin laws also stipulate the burning of straw.

In ancient times, it was the easiest and most effective way to prevent pests, weeds, and fertilization.

After planting and harvesting, the remaining roots are set on fire.

Therefore, these days, the whole pass is full of clouds and mist, everywhere is gray, and even the land is gray and black.

After burning, the ground must be turned over before new grain can be sown.

That's what Ji Chang does.

But he didn't need to do such a thing himself.

There is no doubt that the Ji family is developed.

Because of Zhao Si, because of the child who was picked up by him and sent to serve and go to sea by his own hands.

His own grandson Ji Cheng jumped from a small pavilion chief to Yi Yilang.

Moreover, the first emperor also personally gave their grandchildren a set of big fields in Xianyang City.

But Ji Chang didn't want to go after all, he chose to return to his hometown to live.

In the end, he still didn't know how to face Zhao Si.

When I was separated, I was afraid to see him when I returned, but the root of it was a thought difference, and I felt guilty for more than ten years.

And on this day, Ji Chang, who was working in the fields, suddenly saw a horse galloping, and a group of imposing knights appeared in his own field.

A palace man came down from his horse and walked towards him.

Ji Chang's title is not very high, so he bowed and saluted, and the other party kindly supported Ji Chang.

"Dare to ask this old man, are you Ji Chang?"

Ji Chang nodded.

The smile on the face of the palace people was even more flattering because of this.

"The king has an order to summon you to the palace, please come with us."
