Chapter 123: Conquering Zarut

Before leaving, I handed Meng Tian a map.

Before, I always thought that the situation of Rong Di now was different from that of later generations, and the scattered small tribes that still exist now have disappeared by the time there are records, including the location of the Xiongnu Wolf Court, and even later generations have a lot of controversy. I'm worried that this place will be different from the past, and that giving them maps would mislead them, so I haven't paid much attention to them.

However, the victory in Liaodong gave me a reminder, that is, no matter how big the gap between the people in this timeline and the history is, at least the terrain such as mountains and lakes is still very different, at most, the environment has changed somewhat after more than 2,000 years due to the influence of the climate, but these alone are enough to affect the outcome of the entire battle.

So before I left Xianyang, I drew two maps, west to the Western Regions and north to Lake Baikal, one for Meng Tian, and the other for the messenger to bring to Wu Jian. As for the wider area, it is not yet the time to announce it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

There are so many things to think about in one person that I really can't take care of them......

Three days later, I met with Zarut, who had been escorted by dozens of cavalry.

I looked at Zalut curiously, and felt that these Rong tribes all looked similar, and it seemed that each tribe had its own first warrior, and Donghu was no exception, and their first warrior was Zalut.

I didn't hide my identity, and Zarut was a little reserved after meeting, wanting to maintain his alien dignity and worrying about his fate. Now that Donghu has been occupied by Great Qin and Titomur is dead, he doesn't understand why the young emperor in front of him has traveled thousands of miles to see him.

"Zarut, I'm going to make a deal with you, would you like to hear it?"

The reason why I am willing to come here to try it is also because I listened to Wu Jian's military report. After Titomur's death, Zarut once wanted to commit suicide with a sword, but was stopped by Wu Jian. A loyal person, most of the time, is trustworthy.

Zalut was stunned: "Emperor Great Qin, I am just a captive now, how can I be qualified to make a deal with you." ”

I smiled.

"Listen to it. I, Great Qin, occupied your tribe, but I did not kill them on a large scale, including your leader Titomur, who also died at the hands of Er. In this way, Wu Jian killed Er'er to avenge you, and you should thank Daqin. ”

???

Zalut's eyes widened, and he always felt that something was wrong, but it didn't seem to be wrong.

"I have sent officials to pacify your tribe, and they have brought advanced farming techniques and farming tools, as well as salt, cloth, and so on. I will treat your tribe like the people of Great Qin, so I hope you will cooperate with Great Qin! ”

Zarut pondered for a long time, since I am willing to make a deal with him, then I can verify my words in the future, and I might as well listen to my proposal. Then he raised his head and said, "Emperor Daqin, please speak." ”

I nodded, a smart man.

"I want you to go to Beihu!"

Zalut's eyes widened for the second time: "Go to Beihu? Er'er has just died in Donghu, and I will go to Beihu now......"

Isn't that fucking going to give away someone's head!

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, when you get to Beihu, the Qin army has already helped you occupy Beihu, you just need to go...... It's good to be the boss! ”

Zalut shook his head and wondered, "Since the Qin army can occupy Beihu, why are you willing to hand over Beihu to me?" ”

I got up and paced back and forth, and Zarut also wanted to get up, but after looking at Meng He and Wei Chi, who were staring at him, he gave up the idea.

"There is a big mountain on the west side of Donghu, and Daqin can easily hold it. Beihu is in the same grassland as the Xiongnu, although I am curious why the Xiongnu have not been able to annex Beihu, but at least in the hands of the Qin army, Daqin can't hold it. ”

Zaruth nodded, knowing what I meant.

"Emperor Daqin, the Xiongnu have coveted Beihu for a long time, but the four major tribes and Shan Yu Wolf Court are separated from Germany, no matter who occupies Beihu, it will attract other people's groups to attack it, so Beihu can survive so far."

"It's just that if I go to be the leader of Beihu, I'm afraid no one will obey me."

I stopped and looked at him, "I'll help you, of course." After Wu Jian takes Beihu, you will escape from the Qin army on your own. Then Wu Jian will give you a great credit - being driven out of Beihu by you. The rest is up to you. If it is done, it will be done, and if it is not done, I will not help you again. ”

Zalut frowned: "I only saw the help that Emperor Great Qin gave me, the transaction is naturally two-way, what does Emperor Great Qin want?" ”

"As long as you live for one day, Beihu will always be friendly with Great Qin, and you must also accept Great Qin's orders. This is, of course, private. ”

Zalut was not surprised: "Second, Beihu and Donghu have been fighting for several years, how can I gain the trust of the Beihu tribe?" The Northern Hu army is lost, if the Xiongnu attack, how should I deal with it. ”

I didn't reply, staring at him with a smile.

Zarut was stared at by me, and I couldn't understand why the young emperor was smiling so badly......

"Zarut, I want you to remember every word I say. I just said that Daqin will only give you one chance, and whether you can grasp this opportunity or not is your own business. ”

Zalut eased his mind: "What if I defect to the Xiongnu after becoming the leader or don't listen to the Great Qin Emperor?" ”

"Hahahaha......" Zarut was startled by my laughter.

"Remember, Zarut, I can make you live, I can make you die; It is a luxury to make you a leader, and to make you want to be a slave! ”

Zarut chilled, as if there was a kind of magic in what I said, allowing him to foresee the consequences of not obeying orders.

stood up and saluted respectfully, and said solemnly: "I, Zalut, swear by my family: if I become the leader of Beihu, I will serve Daqin for the rest of my life!" If this oath is violated, the sky will be destroyed! ”

At noon on the same day, a fast horse rushed through the checkpoint and headed north when he traveled to and from the Great Wall.

A quarter of an hour later, the elite cavalry of the hundred-man Qin army hurriedly pursued, passing through a crowded place or the herdsmen at the border passes, and shouted loudly: "Catch Zalut, he killed our five brothers!" ”

Zalut ran for more than a hundred miles in one go, and Ma was so tired that he foamed at the mouth, and only then did he find a Beihu tribe.

"What people!"

"I'm Zalut, the first warrior of Donghu!"

Everyone was shocked: "Zalut, weren't you arrested by the Qin people?" ”

"I took a horse, killed five Qin soldiers, and escaped." As he spoke, Zarut's hand reached for the short knife at his waist. Beihu and Donghu have been grudges for a long time, and these people are likely to break out.

Unexpectedly, everyone was overjoyed: "Zalut, the leader of Err and the leader of Titomur were all killed by the Qin people, and 100,000 warriors of our two tribes died at the hands of the Qin people. Now in the face of the Qin and Xiongnu, the North Hu and the East Hu are going to unite! ”

Zalut was stunned for a moment, Beihu got the news that the two leaders and the 100,000 people of the two tribes were killed by the Qin people?

At this moment, Wu Jian, who was conquering Beihu from east to west, was deeply hidden in his merits and fame......
