Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 364 The Collapsed Modun

In the following "negotiations", Mao Dun cooperated surprisingly, and under Xu Cheng's "deterrence of the army", he quickly agreed to the request to send Qin Jun back immediately.

When he learned that Xu Cheng was the "old man" in Ziying's mansion, he gave away a large number of furs, and entrusted Xu Cheng to take care of Haiyan in Xianyang in front of the generals accompanying the Xiongnu.

In the eyes of these Hun generals who don't know the inside story, Mo Dun has a deep brotherly affection for his younger brother.

For the sake of these furs, Xu Cheng's demeanor is not so aggressive at the beginning. Although these furs are not gold or silver, furs are very expensive in the Southland, and taking them back is money.

Xu Cheng and Mo Dun, whose internal needs were met, had a great time with the host and guests, and got along very harmoniously. It wasn't until after the sumptuous dinner in the Huns camp that Xu Cheng brought a whole carriage with him. The fur coat and the soldiers of the Qin army who were sent back by Maodun left the Huns camp with three steps and three heads.

If Ziying hadn't asked him to return today when he came, he, Xu Cheng, would have to stay here for two days no matter what. These Huns took care of him really well.

Xu Cheng walked away humming a ditty contentedly, but the Huns who watched him go were not so happy.

Since Touman Shanyu ruled over the Xiongnu, the entire Xiongnu has more than [-] troops, which can be said to deter the entire grassland. Among the three overlords of the grassland, the power is definitely the first.

Never before had the Huns been so humiliated.

His prince was captured, and he brought the captives all the way to exchange, but not only did he not get the second prince back, but he also had to be threatened by a small envoy of the Qin army.

His own prince was also yelled at by the other party to lead the horse.

Simply a shame.

……

"Do you think my actions have damaged the prestige of the Xiongnu?" Seeing Xu Cheng's figure slowly disappearing into the distance, Mao Dun said to some Hun generals accompanying him.

"The end will not dare."

"Don't dare? I still think so." Mo Dun said with a smile.

When the accompanying generals didn't know how to answer, Mao Dun immediately said: "I also wish that I was not the one who did such a thing, and I also hope that in the face of Qin's envoys, I, the Huns, will be able to do this without any hesitation." Scruples let them bow their heads and surrender."

"However, I dare not do this. Do you know why?" Mao Dun asked back.

"Prince, although we were temporarily defeated in the previous battle, as long as we are given ten years, we Huns can gather another 20 troops, and we will surely be able to avenge today's shame!"

Hearing Mao Dun's question, some generals immediately comforted him.

The reason why they didn't dare to challenge Qin was simply because the Xiongnu suffered heavy casualties in the previous war. As long as they waited for the Xiongnu to recuperate for a while, they would definitely be able to fight Qin again.

"Do you know how many soldiers Qin has?" Mao Dun smiled wryly and continued to ask.

"The Qin State also has 10 horses. Even if there is a certain reserve army in the country, it must not be many."

Although the two countries were at war, these middle- and lower-level Xiongnu generals still knew little about the reality of the Great Qin, but Maodun sent someone to investigate.

"I sent someone to inquire about the prisoners of the Qin army. Qin is currently using troops on both sides. It has invested 50 troops in the south alone, attacking hundreds of tribes, large and small.

"That's why we dare not challenge the State of Qin. If we offend the State of Qin, when the State of Qin recovers, we, the Huns, will surely perish!"

Hearing Mao Dun's words, these middle and lower generals of the Xiongnu were also a little surprised and speechless.

The Great Qin in the south is so powerful!
Modu's words seemed to have poured cold water on everyone's anger. Such a huge army was beyond their imagination.

Seeing that these Hun generals were a bit decadent, Mo Dun continued: "But I don't need to be so afraid, the Huns, most of the soldiers in the south are infantry, and it is difficult to pose a threat to our cavalry on the grassland.

The army that went deep into the hinterland of our Huns before was only 2000 people.

If I, the Xiongnu, wipe out the Yuezhi and Donghu, and dominate the entire grassland, then combining the power of the grassland might as well compete with Qin! "

After listening to Mao Dun's words, these generals finally understood what kind of thoughts they had as the prince. It turned out that this seemingly insignificant prince actually had a grand ambition to dominate the grassland.

"For the sake of the Huns, can you all help Maodun?" Maodun asked loudly.

"Aqina is willing to follow Prince Maodun, to the point of death without regret!"

The first one to speak was Captain Aqina, who had surrendered to Modun long ago.

With Archina taking the lead, the rest of the generals also crouched down one after another, swearing allegiance to Modun.

Mao Dun was originally the prince of the Huns and the legal heir of the Huns. In terms of status, these people did not have much resistance to their allegiance to him.

These middle and lower generals of the Xiongnu had little idea of ​​the struggle of the upper class and the situation of Maodun.

On the other hand, Modun also shouted out the national righteousness of "for the Huns" this time. Under such circumstances, he did not bow his head and proclaim himself a vassal, as if he had a feeling of betraying the Huns.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid that Mao Dun will swear here that if I inherit the position of Shan Yu in the future, I will definitely not forget your help. Today's shame will definitely be taken back from Qin in the future!"

"For the great Huns!" Aqina's shout came to mind at the right time.

"For the Huns!"

……

In the early morning of the next day, Maodun and his party were about to break out of camp and return, when they saw a cavalry galloping from the east to pay a visit to Maodun.

"Who are you?" Mouton asked.

"Reporting to the prince, I am a member of the Zhawa tribe, and I am here to deliver a message by the order of the leader."

Maodun of the Zhawa tribe knew that it was just a small tribe on the edge of the Yin Mountain, with a population of less than a hundred people. If it hadn't been for a temporary rest there when he came here, Maodun didn't even know that there was such a tribe.

"His Royal Highness, a group of Qin troops rushed to our department yesterday."

As soon as he said this, he stood up abruptly.

"What are you talking about, how many people are there in the Qin Army?" Mo Dun was completely nervous at this moment by Ziying's previous actions.

When it was said that the Qin army had raided the tribe, the first reaction was that the Qin army would continue to attack the Huns.

The person who sent the message was also taken aback by Mao Dun's reaction, and said tremblingly: "The Qin army doesn't have many people, and it hasn't attacked the tribe."

Looking at the doubts on Mao Dun's face, the man said with a bit of embarrassment: "Those Qin Jun said... say..."

"What did Qin Jun say?" Mao Dun asked nervously.

"Those Qin soldiers said that the second prince ate too much, and they don't want it anymore..."

Modu: "×&...%￥"
