Qiang Qin

After getting out of the sight of those Huns, Zidu relied on his good water skills and continued to go south. He didn't come ashore until he couldn't move anymore.When he got out of the water, he was blown by the cold wind, even though he was physically strong, he couldn't bear it.Fortunately, he found a small tribe not long ago, so Zidu stole some herdsmen's clothes there, and then he found the direction and continued to head south.

But because they were attacked suddenly and Zidu was not a person who manages money, he didn't have any property at this time, but fortunately the Huns on the grassland were more hospitable, and Zidu was wearing herdsmen's clothes, so I don't worry about not having food.But when he came out of the grassland and came to the Central Plains, the problem came. First, the guards thought he was a spy of the grassland and wanted to kill him. Fortunately, Zidu escaped with his skill.So he tore his clothes, so that he didn't look like a spy, but another identity came to him, that is, a beggar.Some big cities would never let people like him in, so Zidu had no choice but to take those small roads.

It can be said that Zidu walked back to Xianyang from the grassland after going through hardships, and when he arrived in Xianyang, he had already lost a lot of weight.Fusu looked at Zidu's tired face and the tattered clothes on his body, and said emotionally: "You have worked hard. Although you did not die on the grassland, your return is better than dying there." We are more useful, and we have made more contributions. Now you go home and have a good rest, and I will ask you something in three days."

When Zidu heard that Fusu not only didn't blame himself, but also said that he had meritorious service, he couldn't help being grateful, and knelt down again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. But I didn't protect Mr. Li well, and made him die on the grassland. Shame."

Thinking of Li Shiqi's death, Fu Su felt very uncomfortable, but he still smiled and said, "Even if you don't leave, you can't save Mr. Li, and what Mr. Li said is right, rather than die with him, Why don't you hurry back and tell us everything."

"Then the emperor will ask now, I will definitely know if I will say anything." Zidu was helped up by Fusu, and he was so grateful that he couldn't even feel the exhaustion of his body.

Fusu did have a lot of questions in his mind, but he didn't rush to ask because of Zidu's body. Seeing how persistent he was now, he asked, "The news our people got is that all 130 seven of you have died in battle. It’s on the prairie, since they can explain it in such detail, it’s obvious that they saw the corpse, what’s going on?” This was the question that Fusu couldn’t figure out the most, the number of people said was exactly the same as the number of people who went there, it was indeed very strange incomprehensible.

"Actually, we have 130 people, and one of them is a guide we found on the grassland. He was shot and killed by the bow and arrow of the Huns at the beginning of the battle." Zidu replied.

"So that's how it is." Fusu nodded, "So everyone below me thought you were all dead, but unexpectedly there was one more of you. What is the specific situation of your journey? What's the current situation?" This is the key to Fusu's next move.If the situation on the grassland has started to become chaotic, then Qin can still act according to the previous method, otherwise, as he said a few days ago, he will have to defend his own border for the time being.

Zidu then explained to Fusu the details of how Li Shiqi led them to travel among the various tribes. He only heard Fusu's admiration, and then he thought that such a talent was dead, and he kept regretting. "This Dirty Valley Department is not very far from the big tent of Maodun. At that time, someone told Mr. Li that we should not go. However, Mr. Li said that from the information he got before, this Dirty Valley Department and Maodun There is a grudge among the Dun tribes. Although they appear to be Maodun people, in fact, they have already had an objection in their hearts. As long as we go, we can get their help. Moreover, the location of the Digu tribe is very good. It can do a lot of damage to Modun, so in the end we had no choice but to agree to Mr. Li's decision. Unexpectedly, in the end..." Zidu sighed and said, "But we have already decided to go to the Dirty Valley We are the last small tribe in China. Once we convince them, we will rush back to the Central Plains. So the situation on the grassland is very favorable to us now, even if we have all died in the battle there, between Modun and Dadu The contradictions have also been instigated by us."

Fusu showed joy on his face and said, "That means our plan has actually succeeded?"

"Yes. Now there may be a situation where two heroes are fighting each other on the grassland. As long as we find a way to make their war more intense, the grassland will fall into chaos." Zidu said with certainty.

Fu Su said happily: "It's so good, I'll tell the news to other courtiers, and discuss with them how to stir up disputes on the grassland. You are tired, Zidu, so go out of the palace to rest first."

After all the matter was finally reported to Fusu, Zidu and his father resigned and left the palace, and Fusu ordered someone to call Zhang Liang and others.When they heard Fusu talk about Li Shiqi's actions and their actions were finally successful, they were all overjoyed.Chen Ping immediately said: "Then we should let our eyes and ears on the grassland pay close attention to Maodun's actions, so we can take the opportunity to send troops." He still remembered that they had decided to send troops to the grassland first to lure the Chu people to attack. plan.

After hearing this, Fusu agreed, and then asked several people to go back to their respective yamen and prepare to send troops at any time.

But is the grassland really about to fall into war as that Zidu said?

Bai Ban was ordered by Modu to take people to deal with the suspicious Central Plains caravan near Digubu, but he was not there when Zidu and his men confronted him.Because the location of the Dirty Valley Department can change at any time, they can't be sure where the Central Plains caravan will appear from, so the day shift divided 5000 people into three teams and searched around.When he knew that one of his troops had already fought the enemy and rushed over, with Zidu and the others breaking through, the position of the battlefield changed again.When he finally saw his team, he only heard that all the other people had been killed.Bai Ban sighed, if he was there, he would still try to persuade those people to surrender himself, instead of killing them immediately.Later, he discovered that the more than 1000 people had suffered more than 300 casualties, and he was even more surprised by the combat effectiveness of this caravan.

Bai Ban returned to the big tent and told Maodun about the battle. After learning that the Central Plains people who had provoked disputes on the grassland were all killed, Maodun finally felt relieved and said triumphantly: "The grassland is still here. I am under the control of Modu, and those Central Plains people want to harm me, isn't this courting death?"

But Ji Du was not so optimistic. He said anxiously: "Da Shanyu, according to the information we got last time, the support that the Dadu Department has received is not small. We should be careful, otherwise we may be caught by Dadu." There is an opportunity for Dubu to take advantage of it."

"It is expected that the strength of his Dadu department can't compare with mine, Mr. Ji just rest assured." Mao Dun said nonchalantly.

Bai Ban and Ji Du had the same idea, and he was also persuading him from the sidelines. Seeing that both of them said this, Mao Dun's self-confidence began to waver. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then what should you do?"

Bai Ban said resolutely: "It's better to strike first. Before the wings of his Dadu tribe are full, we will send troops to attack them by surprise, so that we can get rid of it once and for all."

Before Mao Dun could speak, Ji Du had already said: "No. General Bai just came to the grassland not long ago, and I don't know what's going on here. Although Da Shan is the lord of the grassland, he only has the power to gather all the tribes to attack the Central Plains." , As for attacking other tribes, we need the support of the surrounding small tribes, otherwise other tribes will be dissatisfied with us."

Mao Dun also nodded: "It is for this reason that I have not been able to get rid of Dadu and other tribes that are at odds with me. Now unless the Dadu tribe takes the initiative to attack us, we have an excuse to send troops destroy them."

Baiban didn't expect these rules to exist on this grassland, and he felt a headache for a while. After scratching his head, he looked at Ji Du: "Mr. Ji should have a solution, right?"

Ji Du sneered and said, "Although Da Shanyu can't deal with a big tribe like Dadu, it is still possible to secretly send troops to attack some small tribes who have taken refuge in them. As long as we send troops to destroy the small tribes who have always supported Dadu The tribe, with a wild character, will definitely not endure it. At that time, he will openly provoke the Great Chanyu, and the Great Chanyu will have enough reasons to send troops."

Bai Ban understands this time, in fact, here is the same as the troubled times in the Central Plains, a big country just needs an excuse to attack a small country.Thinking of this, a clear expression appeared on his face.

At this time, the news that Li Shiqi and the others had been killed also reached the Dadu Department. When Ye Ke heard the news, he was a little panicked at first, but then he laughed heartily: "Good kill, they are now dead!" It's useless, and the tribes on the grassland who are willing to join hands with me have already communicated with me. And if they die, the enmity between Maodun and the Qin State in the Central Plains will become even greater. Maybe I can still use them In turn, I will deal with Maodun. At that time, both of them will lose, and I will not only take the opportunity to take the position of the Great Chanyu, but also send troops to attack the Central Plains, and even take the position of the Central Plains Emperor to do it." Thinking of his pride, he couldn't help but He laughed loudly, as if everything had happened as he expected.

But what happened next made him unable to laugh anymore, and even made him unable to cry.
