Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 926 Mao Dun
  "With a group of remnants and defeated generals, he was able to reorganize the wolf clan and seize power in such a short period of time. This Mao Dun has really good abilities." After listening to Meng Tian's brief introduction, Gu Xun curled up his lips and chuckled. Zhuo Pin commented, "And he is willing to give up Henan on his own initiative. How courageous!"

Henan is a large area of ​​land located in the southwest of the Yinshan Mountains, and a considerable part of it will be the Hetao Plain in the future. However, the main stream of the Yellow River has not yet changed its course to move south, and the "Ji" shaped Hetao area in the true sense has not been truly formed.

Overall, this land is still a fertile area that is much needed by both the Wolf Clan and the Empire.

The wolf clan, which was originally a scattered mess, finally grew and expanded under the leadership of Touman and occupied the land of Henan. However, Maodun was able to give up without hesitation. This not only reflects his courage, but also proves that At that time, his control over the wolf clan was no less than that of his father Touman.

Meng Tian nodded in agreement, "This new chanyu of the wolf clan is indeed a powerful character."

"According to the information our military spies have received so far, it seems that he has the support of the Donghu people in the north, so he has the confidence to invade south again and try to get his hands on Henan."

Over the years, although the Wolf Clan has basically withdrawn from Henan, the Empire...or the Qin State has never been able to occupy Henan.

Because I really don’t have the energy to take care of places so far away, even if the land is very valuable.

There are so many places waiting for Ying Zheng to tidy up!

"Donghu..." Gu Xun muttered, and then asked Meng Tian with a strange smile, "Do you think such an ambitious man would be willing to succumb to Donghu?"

Donghu has existed in the extreme north area north of the Yan Great Wall since ancient times. Because it is located east of the wolf tribe, and the wolf tribe is also called Hu, it is named Donghu.

The strength of this clan is pretty good, and it is no better than the wolf clan under the leadership of Touman at the beginning, but it is obviously unrealistic to make Maodun surrender based on this.

The most important thing is that Gu Xun remembered that the later Xiongnu Empire even defeated the now-prominent Dayuezhi Kingdom and Wusun Kingdom. Donghu... although there was no relevant memory, it must have been destroyed.

Mao Dun obviously wanted to do something like cheating.

Regarding the question raised by Gu Xun, Meng Tian was not too surprised. He nodded slightly and said, "What the Imperial Master thinks coincides with mine."

"As far as I know, the current King of Donghu is old and dim. He is really not a wise leader. Moton is young, powerful and ambitious. No matter how he thinks about it, he will not really attach himself to Donghu. I am afraid he is trying to steal Donghu's attention."

If the nomads want to recover blood, the most direct and effective way is to steal other people's blood. It is too slow to rely on yourself.

Now, because of some reasons, Maodun does not dare to provoke the Central Plains, so other nomads also located outside the Central Plains are the best choice.

"Hmm..." Gu Xun nodded, raised his hand to rub his eyebrows, and asked Meng Tian, ​​"What does General Meng think the empire should do?"

Meng Tian showed a rather helpless smile, "For now, I don't have many ideas."

"After having this conjecture, I tried to send many spies to find out the situation inside Donghu at this time, but unfortunately I gained very little."

"The empire is currently preparing to launch troops in Lingnan. It is impossible to mobilize enough manpower to go to the north in a short period of time. It seems that I... can only continue to build the Great Wall step by step."

Gu Xun showed a smile at this time and said to Meng Tian, ​​"When the matter in Shushan is over, I will go to the North with you. Then... we will find a way to deal with the wolf clan."

"No matter what, we can't let the wolf clan regain its momentum, otherwise we will be in trouble when the tail is too big to fall off."

Meng Tian also showed a slightly relaxed smile when he heard this, and said flatteringly, "The Imperial Master is willing to help, I believe this matter will definitely turn around." Gu Xun smiled, gently stroking the wine glass with his palm, his eyes lowered. Speaking, I was just thinking secretly in my heart.

If Mao Dun planned to attack Dong Hu, this would be an opportunity, but Gu Xun was confused as to whether he should seize this opportunity, or... how to use this opportunity.

The current alien regime in the north is generally in a state of fragmentation. From east to west, there are several major clans such as Donghu, Wolf clan, Yuezhi, Wusun, etc., as well as some small clans that are barely surviving. They are independent and in constant friction with each other.

The nomadic regime in the north in a fragmented state was naturally relatively weaker and posed less of a threat to the Central Plains dynasty.

So Gu Xun initially wanted to interfere with it, destroy Mao Dun's plan, and continue to maintain the status quo.

But on second thought, I hesitated.

Maintaining the fragmented state of the alien races and allowing them to continue to internalize themselves can certainly ensure the Central Plains Dynasty's ability to suppress foreign races. However, the rise of nomadic tribes is very fast. As long as the Central Plains Dynasty is not careful for a moment, the other side may develop rapidly. .

According to historical facts, the rise of the Xiongnu Empire only took more than ten or twenty years.

For a person, this period of time is certainly not short, but for a country, it is nothing. A slight domestic disturbance is enough for the court to temporarily ignore the outside world.

Instead of leaving hidden dangers to future generations, it would be better for him to let the wolf clan rise and grow now, unite the power of many alien regimes in the north, and then completely defeat them, consuming all the foundation accumulated by the alien races in the north over the years. .

In this way, it can be guaranteed that at least within one or two hundred years, the northern aliens will not be able to restore the climate.

Of course, Gu Xun was also a little hesitant about this plan.

The complete Xiongnu Empire had more than 300,000 people in control. It was a powerful regime that was no less powerful than the empire. If it really raised such a tiger, it would not be easy to deal with it.

After thinking about it for a long time, Gu Xun didn't make up his mind, so he had to put it aside for the time being and wait to see what happened step by step in the future.

………………

huh... huh...

The faint sound of breaking wind echoed in the garden of the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, and the source of the sound was a swing.

But a very special swing.

No ropes, no seat boards, just a blazing swing made purely of flames.

Two fire vines were wrapped around the branches of the big tree. Although there were clearly bursts of scorching heat, the branches did not burn, and there were no traces of scorch. It seemed like it was just a pure light and shadow special effect.

Yan Lingji was wearing a tight-fitting skirt with a dark red and black bottom and high slits. She was sitting on a seat made of flames, swaying freely. Her fair skin looked particularly dazzling against the firelight, and her long, slender, round legs were transparent. The slit that was longer than the skirt was exposed, swaying with the swing of the swing.
