Dada replied, "Your envoy, please speak." ”

I paused for a moment and said, "How can the Great Khan solve the problem of grazing the whole tribe by migrating the entire tribe to the vicinity of the Great Wall?" All of your food is supplied by Daqin, what should you do if Daqin's strength is not enough one day? Isn't it a pity to give up such a fertile pasture at the foot of Qilian Mountain? ”

I threw three questions in a row, and Dada fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he spoke: "I also had no choice but to make this decision. ”

Then he looked up at me: "Since your envoy has thought of these questions, is there a good plan?" ”

I nodded: "There is a plan below, the Great Khan can consider it." ”

"The biggest difference between Great Qin and you is that Great Qin is a farming country, while you are a nomadic country. Daqin's grain and cloth are what you need, and your cattle and horses are what Daqin needs. ”

"The following proposals are: First, you return to Great Qin, but you don't have to move near the Great Wall, and you don't have to reduce your army, and Great Qin will give you 400,000 catties of grain every month. Of course, this is far from what you need, and what you lack is to exchange your cattle and horses for my grain and cloth through trade. ”

"Second, although you don't have to reduce the number of troops, Great Qin will send a prison army to your army. The Overseers will not direct your armies into battle, but if your armies do so, they must have the Warden's permission. ”

"Third, not only the supervising army, but also the Great Qin will divide the north of Qilian Mountain into five counties and settle the county guards, and the Great Qin will gradually move the Qin people over. You can keep your living habits, but you are not allowed to move between the five counties at will, and you must also abide by the laws of our Great Qin after entering the county and county. ”

"What does the Great Khan think?"

Dada had a solemn expression on his face.

His previous promise to abandon the army was only a stopgap measure, and the tribe remained under his control. To put it bluntly, Daqin will give him food every month to support him, in case Daqin is unwilling to raise it or can't afford it, he can take the tribe to find another way out at any time.

But if it were according to me, then his Great Khan would have become a false name. The army is in the hands of Great Qin, and the tribe is also forcibly dismantled and isolated, so it will be impossible for him to get rid of Great Qin's control in the future.

Either they are completely controlled by Great Qin, but their own tribe can survive; Either it was annexed by the Xiongnu or Qiang tribes, but it was the same clan, and it would not necessarily be used as cannon fodder for attacking Qin.

How to choose, that's the question.

Seeing that he was a little hesitant, I opened my mouth to draw him another big pie.

"The reason why I, Daqin, don't let you give up Qilian Mountain, is also for Daqin and you."

Dada raised his head and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

I took a sip of tea and responded: "Great Qin urgently needs good horses to enrich my Great Qin cavalry and fight against the Xiongnu." The pastures of the Qilian Mountains are rare and excellent pastures, where the water and grass are abundant and the climate is suitable. Abandoning Qilian Mountain, how will you have enough cattle and horses to trade with Daqin? If Great Qin can't get a good horse, and you can't get food, it's not good for us. ”

"There is another important reason. Now that the Central Plains is stable, my Great Qin has no opponents in the East. However, there were still many countries in the Western Regions, and Great Qin intended to trade with them and obtain products that Great Qin did not have. ”

"To go west, the most convenient way is the river valley north of the Qilian Mountains, which I call the Hexi Corridor in Daqin. Occupying the Hexi Corridor, Daqin can go straight to the Western Regions. ”

"If the Great Khan agrees to the next policy, then he can call the shots, and you will get eleven of the tariffs from trade. The benefits of trade with the Western Regions have already been estimated by Daqin, and the value is indescribable. ”

Dada's eyes lit up, and his heart was already shaken.

Seeing his expression, I chuckled. Enough benefits have been given, it's time to put some pressure on.

"The strategy that Xia and the Great Khan said is really something that I have been planning since the accession of Emperor Qin II. Even if the Great Khan didn't take the initiative to find it, my Great Qin would definitely get the land of the Hexi Corridor! The emperor once said: The land west of the river can be mapped by the whole country! It has been more than two years since the accession of Emperor II to the throne, and the planning is about to be completed. ”

Dada was shocked, but he didn't expect that not only was the enemy of the north and the south eyeing him, but even the Qin State was salivating over him. If three enemies attack the Beiqiang tribe together......

Thinking of this, Dada no longer hesitated, got up and hugged his fists and said: "Your envoy has considered my tribe carefully, and I am willing to act according to your envoy's policy!" ”

I also got up and smiled, "We'll see, the Great Khan will be glad about his choice today." ”

Dada hesitated slightly, and then said, "It's not that I don't trust your envoy, but can you guarantee that Emperor Daqin agrees to this policy?" ”

I laughed, turned my head to wink, and asked Wang Li: "Wang Li, do you think the emperor will agree?" ”

Wang Li bowed and saluted, and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty will do what he says, since he has come here to discuss with the Great Khan in person, he will definitely be true to his word!" ”

Dada was shocked when he heard this, looked at me in disbelief, and stammered slightly: "Your envoy...... Your envoy is the Emperor of Great Qin? ”

I nodded: "I am very happy to hear that the Great Khan intends to return to Great Qin. As a sign of respect for the Great Khan, I came to discuss important matters with the Great Khan in person. Due to the long distance, the emperor's body is inconvenient to act, so he conceals his identity, and the Great Khan is not to blame. ”

Dada came to his senses, bowed down after learning the etiquette of Great Qin, and said solemnly: "Emperor Great Qin's courage is extraordinary, I have no doubts!" ”

I replied, "The Great Khan cherishes his people, and he wants to live in the world, and I am very comforted. ”

"After I returned to Xianyang, I immediately ordered someone to come here to discuss matters with the Great Khan, hoping that my Great Qin can make friends with the Beiqiang clan for generations!"

Dada said solemnly: "Emperor Xie Daqin." ”

After reaching a consensus, I took Wang Li and left.

Dada looked at my distant back and sighed: "With this young male master, Daqin is unstoppable!" ”

Then he rode away.

The group returned to Didao, I calculated the time, today is the fourth day, there is still some time.

After thinking for a while, I said to Wang Li beside me: "I heard that Li Xin is also in Longxi, do you know where it is?" ”

Wang Li arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, since the twenty-sixth year of the reign of King Qin and my father conquered the Qi State, Li Xin returned to the fiefdom of Longxi County and never became an official, and he is still in Changgu, Longxi County. ”

I snorted, "It's the year of destiny." ”

Wang Li replied, "Yes." ”

I don't know what I meant when I mentioned Li Xin, but he didn't answer.

"Meng He, rest for an hour, let's go back to Yongcheng."

After a simple meal, I took Meng He to Yongcheng. When approaching Longxi County, the sun was already about to set.

After thinking about it, I still took Meng He to Changgu.

Anyway, if you want to find a place to rest, you have already arrived in Longxi County, so it is better to stop by to see Li Xin.

Li Xin is a person who has a bit of Huo Quai's demeanor. The same young man's ambition, the same love of surprise attacks, and the same flashes away like a meteor. The difference is that Li Xin was beaten in the face after he became a teenager, and he became unknown after a big defeat.

Meng Tian was good at defense, but if he wanted to completely solve the problem of the Xiongnu, he had to have people like Li Xin and Huo Quai, and only they could stand on the same starting line as the Xiongnu cavalry.

After a short time, the group arrived at Changgu.
