The envoys of the Western Regions happily returned, and the happiest of them were the twelve kingdoms of Shanbei and Cheshi.

The Four Seas Palace, the three princes sit around.

Zhang Han arched his hand and wondered: "Why did Your Majesty agree to withdraw from the Twelve Kingdoms?" Although the twelve countries are small and poor, they also have a land of thousands of miles! ”

I smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "I was originally going to show Great Qin's attitude by killing the Wusun royal family, so that they would understand that in Great Qin's eyes, no, they were not qualified to enter Great Qin's vision at all, but they didn't understand." I have no choice but to use the twelve nations to set an example for the rest of the nations! ”

The four of them woke up instantly, and couldn't help but feel a chill, glanced at each other, and didn't speak again.

I knew what they were thinking, and said softly, "Do you think that I am ruthless and don't take the lives of the people of the Western Regions seriously?" ”

Everyone hurriedly said: "Don't dare!" ”

"Some sacrifices are necessary. If the people of the Western Regions could foresee the threat they faced and understand the benefits of surrendering to Great Qin, they would naturally be willing to bow down to Great Qin. I glanced at a few people: "However, most of the people in the world are short-sighted, even if they have the experience of Wusun, they will have to wait for the second sword of the Huns to cut their bodies to understand this truth." ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "Ministers are taught!" ”

I instructed Zhang Han: "Send someone to inform Jing Zhu and ask him to withdraw the troops of the Twelve Kingdoms to Wusun according to the plan, mainly guarding against the Xiongnu and Huxi." In addition, the Qin army was strictly ordered not to burn, kill and loot in Wusun, let alone oppress the local people in other countries. ”

Zhang Han understood my intentions, and replied: "Obey!" ”

"Has the Huns made any changes recently?"

Zhang Han replied: "Not yet, since the peace was negotiated, Mao Dun has also closed the road in and out of the Xiongnu grassland, and the spies we left behind cannot pass on the news." ”

I nodded, if Mao Dun really decided to recuperate, I am afraid that he would not rashly attack the Twelve Kingdoms, I have to help him: "You guys go, I have my own considerations for the affairs of the Western Regions." ”

After everyone retreated, I dressed up in disguise and took Meng He to Wu's Mansion.

After seeing Wu Shimu, he retreated left and right, leaving only Meng He and the three of them, I first asked about Wu Shilu's situation.

Wu Shi Mu was a little sad, and arched his hand: "Grandfather has no worries since he saw His Majesty, and he knew that his time was short, so he returned to Wushi County, and died last winter. Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Hearing this, I comforted me a few words, and then got back to business: "Do you know Maudun? ”

Wu Shimu nodded, and replied carefully: "I heard that the clan uncle Wu Shifeng mentioned in the letter that his people have some means, they are good at fighting but not thirsty for killing, killing Hedu Ye, and after seizing the position of Shan Yu, they did not liquidate the old department of Hedu Ye on a large scale. Now it has recovered the Wolf Court, which has won the hearts of the Huns and has a very high prestige among the Huns. ”

Hearing Wu Shimu's words, I nodded, since he knew about this, there were some things to say.

I stared at him and said in a deep voice: "Since you know about the Xiongnu's recovery of the Wolf Court, I will say it directly." Why did Mao Dun know everything about Daqin's border garrison? What are your guesses? ”

Wu Shi Mu was stunned for a moment, immediately reacted, bowed deeply, and said in fear: "Your Majesty, the villain swears by the lives of the entire Wu family, my Wu clan has never done a treason to betray Great Qin, if there is a dissenting intention, the whole clan will die at the hands of the mountain ghosts!" ”

When Zhang Wei returned from his mission, what Wu Shilu said to me had already been verified and true, and now I heard Wu Shimu make such a heavy oath, and I dispelled my doubts.

Hurriedly got up and personally helped him up, and said with relief: "What are you doing, get up quickly." Just because the Wu clan is familiar with the Xiongnu, I want to ask your opinion, the first emperor has never doubted you, how can I doubt the Wu clan's loyalty to Daqin? Why make such a vicious oath! ”

The master has made a move, and the point is up.

Wu Shi Mu got up and bowed again: "It's just that Wu Shi often goes in and out of the border pass, and the villain is afraid that His Majesty will worry about it, it is the villain who misunderstands His Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty!" ”

I sat back at the top and smiled, "It's okay, sit." ”

After thanking him, the Wu clan sat down, thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, at the foot of the Great Wall, there are many people of all ethnic groups, and there are even those who have surrendered. Before His Majesty ascended the throne, there were often Xiongnu and Qiang people who surrendered to Great Qin, but there were also Qin people who fled north to the land of the Xiongnu. His Majesty Yan Maodun knew a lot about the Great Qin Border Army, and the villain expected that if it was a person of a different race, he was afraid that he would not be able to detect such a detailed deployment of the Qin army. ”

The Dayue clan sent 20,000 cavalry, which was neither weaker than Wu Jian, nor would it put too much pressure on Wu Jian, just enough to contain him, obviously knowing the strength of Helan Mountain, and sending troops in a targeted manner. Although Wu Jian had 30,000 cavalry, the place where he camped was extremely secret, and with Wu Jian's caution, it would be impossible for a foreigner to find out so clearly.

I nodded, frowned, and said, "What you said is very reasonable, the most hateful thing is these thieves!" If they are forced by their livelihood, they will sell some illicit salt and flee to the Huns, but they dare to betray their mother country in order to become rich and noble, they are really national thieves! ”

Wu Shi Mu arched his hand and asked, "How is Your Majesty going to find out those people?" Do I need the potency of Oocy? ”

I looked up and smiled, "I'm so angry that I've forgotten what I'm doing. Traitor, leave it alone, I want you to help me do something important. ”

Wu Shimu hurriedly stood up and saluted, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty can't help it, it's an honor for the villain to serve Your Majesty!" Your Majesty only commands, how dare you say help! ”

I smiled slightly, got up and said, "You just said that you heard your news from Wu Shifeng. You are in Daqin, Wu's wind is in the past Hudi, and the current Xiongnu, that is to say, in the case of Daqin and the Xiongnu are both in retreat, Wu's wind can still exchange news with you? ”

Wu Shimu replied respectfully: "Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, the villain does have some special means. ”

I nodded and smiled, "It seems that I have found the right place for you!" I don't ask you about your secrets, but you listen well......"

Then I carefully discussed with Wu Shi Mu and asked him to act like this, and finally said: "This matter is very important, you must be careful, otherwise the big plan will not work, but it will harm your uncle's life!" If you do it, I will also give you a 'Bifeng King'!" ”

Wu Shimu was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was still respectful: "Even if there is no reward, the villain is willing to serve His Majesty, thank Your Majesty!" ”

After I left, Wu Shi Mu couldn't wait to write a silk letter and ordered someone to send it to the north immediately.

Ba Shi has become an ordinary merchant, and today's Daqin merchants are actually only one Wu Shi. He was worried about this, for fear that the imperial court would cancel the Great Qin merchants, and then he would lose a lot of special care. Now that he has the opportunity to win the glory of "Bi Fengjun", he naturally wants to strive for it! That's worth much more than the name of the Great Qin Merchant!

Looking at the distant figure of the slave, Wu Shi Mu Yangtian muttered: "Grandfather, my father died suddenly before he could inherit your glory, and now my grandson is about to come true!" ”
