Chapter 244

Mobei Grassland, Junji Mountain.

On the undulating grassland, sometimes a river flows with a distance of several feet wide, winding a silver jade belt on the green grassland.

On the mountains near and far, there are sparse coniferous forests. The sky is blue, and the white clouds are very low because of the clear air. It seems that they can be touched by climbing up the short hills. Loud eagle cry.

As the weather gets warmer and spring returns to the land, the weeds on the grasslands have grown luxuriantly, large and small felt bags are scattered on the field, and the largest milky-white felt tent in the middle is the big tent of the Xiongnu Shanyu Modun.

Today is the day when Da Shanyu sacrificed to heaven in Junji Mountain, and almost all the noble Huns drove over from all over the grassland.

On the mountaintop in the distance, Mao Dun held a white silk handkerchief, which was stained with dew collected by a noble and pure girl in the early morning, and carefully wiped the two golden men who were as tall as one person.

Human head, wolf tail, eagle claws, horseshoe, and bear body, this is the incarnation of the wolf god believed by Maodun. It is the most powerful creature on the grassland, and it is also a symbol of Tu Shanyu.

On a flagpole opposite the golden man, hung upside down an unrecognizable man covered in welts.

If you go in and take a closer look, you will recognize that this is the right big householder who saw the situation was not good in the battle of Nuoshui, and left the army to escape before Wang Li's army arrived.

Although he is a close friend of Modu, the successive defeats made him feel devastated, so Modu took advantage of the situation to annex his remaining followers and use him as a sacrifice to the heavens, um, on the bright side It is to let him serve the wolf god on behalf of the Huns.

"Great wolf god, please enjoy this noble sacrifice!"

While wiping the golden man's face, Mo Dun whispered in his mouth: "Great wolf god, please grant glory and victory to your offspring!"

The Huns on the mountainside in the distance also pulled out the small meat-cutting knife from their waists, and with one swipe, they drew a scar with deep bone visible on his face.

They wiped the blood from the wounds on their lips and foreheads, and shouted loudly: "The Wolf God!"

This is the etiquette for burying a nobleman of the Xiongnu. After the sacrifice to heaven, they will send envoys to contact Donghu and the Yuezhi people to fight against the Qin people who are constantly invading in the south!

Of course, before that, it is necessary to attack the Dingling tribe northward before the rainy season arrives, so as to supplement the population of the Huns captured by the Qin people.

With the passage of time, the sacrifice to heaven was coming to an end, and with a whistling sound, the goshawk hovering in the sky shot down and pounced on the right-hand man to eat.

In an instant, mournful wailing and deep praise sounded together, echoing between the heavens and the earth on the Mobei Plateau.

Xianyang City, Dongfang Road.

Countless Qin people ran out of their homes and poured into the streets.

Today is the day when the Donghu mission arrived in Xianyang City. Although the two sides signed an alliance agreement, the Donghu people not only offered a lot of tribute, but also sent their princes and some tribe leaders' offspring to Xianyang to 'go to school'.

With all these things, for the Qin people who had just ended hundreds of years of intrigue during the Warring States Period, everyone naturally knew whether this was an alliance of equals.

"Is this what His Majesty the Emperor once said, is tributary an advanced form of alliance?"

A young man with a hat on his head murmured, and the Guizhou chiefs around him looked at each other, and they all saw the same thought in each other's eyes.

Your Majesty is such a rascal, we can rest assured...

After all, everyone grew up listening to the story of King Huiwen's period, the land of six hundred miles of Shangyu became Liuli, and the stories of Yongcheng Yi and Shibi in the period of King Zhaoxiang.

"This eagle is so beautiful, I really want to own it!" Among the crowd, a 1.8-meter-tall girl dressed as a man exhaled softly.

"This is a gift from King Donghu to His Majesty. You may not have it..." Han Xin stood aside, shook his head lightly, and honestly punctured the girl's dream.

Li Rouer glanced at Han Xin, but she was not angry. She was different from other noble girls, she liked to ride the strongest horse and pull the hardest bow.

Well, it's just that since Fusu re-taught her bow strength, she only dared to claim that she could draw a two-stone bow...

"Well, there's nothing to see, let's find a place to eat something."

Han Xin raised his head and looked at the tall girl beside him, and decided not to push the other party. At least after sitting down, he didn't need to raise his head to talk to the other party.

Ever since he met Li Rou'er on the road that day, he felt that she was different from ordinary girls. At least when he was talking endlessly about the formation of troops, ordinary girls would either fall asleep or It's completely the same as chicken and duck.

And Li Rouer...

After a while, they turned into a restaurant facing the street.

Han Xin glanced at the signboard and interior decoration of the restaurant, and he knew that it was a state-owned store belonging to Shaofu.

Tortured by kpi, the 'Dian Xiaoer' who was dying of ecstasy took the initiative to greet Han Xin. He looked at the double-board long crown on Han Xin's head, and hurriedly led them to a position near the window.

"Well, the seat is so narrow, but it's just for a meal, let's make it!" Han Xin sat on the chair, shrunk his legs back, and avoided contact with Li Rouer's legs opposite him.

"Old Xianyang fried chicken nuggets, small crispy pork, cold scallions, a large bowl and a small bowl of Lao Xianyang noodles with fried sauce, let's do this first, and order when there is not enough!"

Li Rou'er put the menu aside, dipped her fingers in the tea, and drew on the table: "Brother Han, I think there are four kinds of changes in the circle..."

Han Xin raised his head and called to the shop waiter who was about to leave: "Change the large portion of noodles to the medium portion, I can't eat that much..."

Li Rou'er blinked her eyes, and said to the waiter in the shop with a bit of uncontrollable laughter: "That's a big bowl, a medium bowl..."

Han Xin froze for a moment, turned his head extremely stiffly, and suddenly felt that the heroic girl opposite him became annoying.

…………

Hexi Corridor.

After waiting for the peasant scholars who came by "packing and express delivery", the envoys to the city-states of the Western Regions finally arrived at Zhaowu City, the royal city of the Yuezhi people, after passing through the desolate grasslands.

"Finally, I don't have to be with animals anymore!"

Chai Wu, the envoy of the mission, looked at the big Qin flag hanging on Zhaowu City, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Since he left Linqiang County, he hadn't seen a single human hair except for beasts along the way!
"That's right, the guard of Qiang Zhonglang is going crazy. He has gathered all the Qiang people in Huangzhong to build the road leading to Longxi!"

Deputy envoy Cai Yince immediately stepped forward, looked at the Yuezhi people coming and going in Zhaowu City, shook his head slightly and said: "It would be great if these Yuezhi people were also sent to Jincheng County to build roads!"
