Qiang Qin

Updated: 2011-02-14

Chen Ping was obviously prepared for this question, and when he heard Fusu's question, he replied: "The Huns still want to fight, but they can't always fight, and they can't think about destroying their clan. Come on, my Great Qin can't afford such consumption, and it will even cause dissatisfaction among the people. Secondly, the Huns are not so easy to destroy as Chao An said. When they fight back vigorously, the emperor will You can send people to the grassland, talk to Na Modun, and propose to open the market on the edge of the grassland. After seeing that my Daqin's strength is not something they can easily provoke, and then learn that we intend to open the market for trade, minister If you think about it, you will not refuse it. In this way, you will not worry about the warlike nature of the Huns."

Fusu nodded in approval, indeed he gave both kindness and majesty, giving a candied date after slapping someone would make him more obedient.But then he thought of the problem mentioned just now, that is, the low productivity of Daqin was not enough to satisfy the Huns on the grassland, so he looked at Chen Ping with an inquiring eye.But Chen Ping did not continue his words, but gave Zhang Liang a wink at the side who had never spoken.

In fact, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping had discussed these ideas together, and they kept them in their hearts only because Fusu was too arbitrary recently, and it was difficult for the two of them to play in person.Today, Fusu finally changed his mind. After Chen Ping showed his views, he did not forget Zhang Liang and gave him a chance to make meritorious deeds.Zhang Liang understood what Chen Ping was thinking, and knew that if he didn't say a word at this time, he really couldn't justify it, so after taking a look at Chen Ping, he said: "The emperor doesn't need to trade the goods to the grassland for my Daqin. Worrying. In fact, we can raise the prices of things in the Central Plains, only suitable for the heads and leaders of those tribes. Those Huns can only use some furs that we can trade with us. In terms of exquisiteness, they are far inferior to my ceramics and silk from the Central Plains. They should be able to tell the difference. After knowing the price, I don’t think they will have any ideas. However, we can lower the price of food, after all, it is transported from the grassland. The beef and mutton brought here can also satisfy hunger. Once this is the case, the goods we can supply to the Huns will be enough.”

Fu Su thought about it for a while, and felt that what he said was very reasonable, indeed, he never thought that the goods from the Central Plains could be sold at a higher price.After thinking about this point, Fusu, who has modern thinking, began to turn his head, and he said: "In this case, we can let the craftsmen make clothes or other utensils from the furs of the Huns. In this way, it can be sold back to the Huns, so that our Central Plains can get more goods from the Huns. And once the nobles get used to these precious things produced in my Central Plains, they will get used to them. Naturally, we will never be able to do without my goods from the Central Plains, so that their nobles will be under our control." Although this is not a strange thing for any modern person, it is just a combination of Europe and the United States. Developed countries just copied what developed countries did, but it was a good idea that Chen Ping and Zhang Liang never thought of.The two admired again and again, saying that the emperor was still thoughtful.

Fusu chuckled, and said in his heart that perhaps this is the point where I am better than you contemporary wise men.After solving this point, Fusu said: "This time my [-] troops entered the grassland and caused a lot of damage to the Huns. Do you think it's time to start a trade with Namodun?"

Both Zhang Liang and Chen Ping shook their heads and said, "It's not the time yet. This time I, Daqin, invaded the grassland with 3 troops. Although I killed many of them, most of them were civilians. The impact on the Xiongnu's army was not too great. On the contrary, It has already aroused the hatred of the Huns towards our Great Qin. If the emperor sends someone to negotiate at this time, the Huns will definitely not agree. Now we can only implement this plan after fighting the Huns again and inflicting heavy losses on them."

Fusu said: "I think so too, but after that group of troops made such a fuss, all the Huns have fled farther north. Our army may have great difficulty in attacking the Huns from the north."

"Your Majesty, in fact, you had a very good way to deal with the Huns a few years ago, and it was only because of a better way that you put this way aside, and now we can use it again. "Zhang Liang said.

"Oh? What's the idea?" Fusu asked hurriedly, not remembering any good solution he had ever had.

Zhang Liangdao: "Does the emperor still remember Li Shiqi? Wasn't the reason why the emperor summoned him to Xianyang at that time was to let him go as an envoy to the Da Yue clan? Later, he proposed to use a strategy of alienation among the Huns, so that the emperor We gave up our plan to go to the Yuezhi Kingdom and sent him to the grassland. Now we can reuse this strategy, send people to contact the Yuezhi people, and let them attack us on both sides, and the Xiongnu will definitely lose. When we propose trade with the Huns, they will not refuse."

Fu Su clapped his hands and said: "Yes, this matter is indeed feasible. I really forgot that I had this idea, and now I just repeated the old plan and sent people to the Yuezhi. It's just that the Yuezhi people are willing to fight with me. Lian Shou? Who should we send to make sure? It's a pity that Mr. Li exposed his identity and was killed by the Huns after completing his mission, otherwise he would be a good choice."

Chen Pingdao: "The scouts sent to find General Zidu and the [-] troops these days have never found their whereabouts, but they heard that the Huns stretched out their hands because they did not dare to go south to attack our Great Qin. As far as the Yuezhi people are concerned, the Yuezhi people have also been harassed a lot in the past year. If Daqin sends envoys to negotiate at this time, they will naturally not refuse. As for the candidates for this envoy, I think that Chao An is very good. It's appropriate, he can talk so eloquently in front of the emperor, and he won't be timid when he becomes a member of the Yue family, and he will lose the face of Da Qin. Moreover, the idea of ​​trading with the Huns was also proposed by him, and it is just for him to implement it This plan is to give him a chance to make meritorious deeds, what does the emperor think?"

Fu Su thought about it, although he felt that Chen Ping wanted to borrow a knife to kill people when he proposed to let Chao An go to the Yuezhi, after all, going to the Yuezhi still had a great risk, such as being intercepted and killed by the Huns or the Yuezhi People don't agree to kill people, but this is indeed a good way to make great achievements and get ahead, and this Chao An does have the courage and strategy that ordinary people don't have, so he is really suitable for this, so he said: "Alright, I will wait until tomorrow." After making a decree and making him a counselor, he ordered him to go to the Yue family." At this point he paused, "Chen Qing, your eldest son is nearly forty now, right?"

Chen Ping has three sons, the eldest son is already 37 years old, but he still can't find an official position in the court. His son died, and he hurriedly replied: "The dog is already thirty and seven, and now he is still studying at home, thanks to the emperor for asking."

"You have also made a lot of contributions to me as the emperor. Apart from yourself, I should indeed have some rewards for your descendants. But because I am afraid that people in the government and the opposition will say that you are acting for the public, I have never been good at conferring on your nephew. If this happened today, let him go to the Yueshi with Chao An, and when they return safely, they will have made a great contribution, and I will naturally reward him." Fusu said lightly.

"... Your Majesty, thank you..." Chen Ping hesitated and knelt down to thank you.He knew that the emperor gave him face, and after knowing his thoughts, he didn't expose him on the spot, but asked him to send his son to take risks.Thinking of Fusu's cunning and scheming are getting more and more powerful, Chen Pingzi can't help sweating the back of his clothes in this harmonious spring.

Zhang Liang was on the side but could only smile wryly.In fact, he has worked with Chen Ping for a long time, and he also knows that this colleague is actually not too big for people. Now that Chao An appears, he will definitely find a way to restrain him, but in the end, Chen Ping will harm others. But he also brought his own son in, so it's hard to say between gains and losses.

"Okay, let's go back and see if there are other outstanding articles. My discomfort has also eased." Fusu said and turned around and walked back. One of the two people behind him had a bitter face, and the other smiled bitterly. endlessly.

The next day, an imperial decree that everyone envied was promulgated. An unknown young man was named a counselor by the emperor just because of an article and a conversation.The other examinees all began to ask what kind of person Chao An was, and what kind of background he had that allowed the emperor to use him so exceptionally, but the news they got was that this person had no relatives who were officials in the court. , which made the other candidates even more jealous, and at the same time gave them greater confidence that they would one day be as outstanding as him.

This Chao An, who didn't know that he had made a living advertisement for the imperial examination, was kneeling in the hall with excitement and listening to the emperor's canonization, but his face was a little dignified by the last words: "Order to advise the doctor Chao An." Three days later, lead the team to the Yuezhi Kingdom in the north, and discuss with them about attacking the Xiongnu together."

Although he was about to become a high-ranking official in the court, Chao An was excited, but when he thought of going to the other side of the grassland, he would have to go through many difficulties before returning, and he would not even be able to return to the Central Plains, Chao An was still a little uneasy...

But at this time, in the Yuezhi Kingdom that Fusu and the others wanted to win over, there was a group of people they could never have imagined, who were already negotiating with each other...
