Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 427: Fighting against Barbarians (Part [-])

"Excuse me, Grand Chanyu, why haven't we taken action?" Xu Luo was a little puzzled, and said, "After a while, it will be summer, and the road will be muddy when it rains, making it difficult for cavalry to move. It's the decision."

Facing the map, Mao Dun stared at the map without blinking. After hearing this, he suddenly turned around and said, "What you said is not unreasonable. There is a lot of rain in summer, which is not the season for using troops. I compare this to You know. However, there is no movement in Nanchao, how can we move?"

Xu Luo said disapprovingly: "Da Chanyu, I went to the Southern Dynasty and got the assurance from the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty that the Southern Dynasty and the Great Xiongnu have been brothers for generations, and will never do anything that will harm the brotherly state."

"Are you going to say that the Southern Dynasty also sold a lot of weapons and food to us?" Mao Dun didn't care, and said: "It was just a verbal guarantee, it was nothing, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty could go back on what he said at any time. If necessary, Ben Chanyu will also give up the guarantee to the Southern Dynasty at any time. You have to know that the interests of the two countries are the most important. What kind of brotherhood and friendship for generations are just for people to listen to and have no binding force at all. , as long as the interests require, you can betray your brother at any time. You have to remember: brothers are most suitable for betraying brothers!"

Although Xu Luo was convinced of Mao Dun, his words were too hard to believe. He hesitated and asked: "May I ask the Great Chanyu, what kind of actions will the Southern Dynasty take so that you can rest assured?"

"I want them to make a promise with actions!" Without thinking about it, Mao Dun said, "Only if they have no ability to attack Shan Yuting, Ben Shan Yu will be relieved."

At this moment, a guard came in to report: "A report to the Great Chanyu, the spies brought news from the Southern Dynasties."

"Quickly, tell him to come in." Mao Dun's eyes lit up.

The guard responded, and went out to bring in a spy who was still panting. Obviously, the spy was exhausted after a long journey, so he asked, "What news did you bring back to Ben Shanyu?"

The spies took a breath and said, "Back to Shanyu, the south is going to war with Loufan Aries King."

Mao Dun nodded and didn't speak, which made the spy very nervous. Unexpectedly, Mao Dun poured a bowl of kumiss with his own hands and handed it to the spy, saying, "This is a reward from Ben Shanyu."

The spy would never believe that there was such a good thing, hesitantly said: "Big Chanyu, do you really reward the little one?"

"Of course." Mao Dun said very straightforwardly: "Ben Shanyu not only rewards you with kumiss, but also rewards you with five cows, ten sheep, and two slaves."

It could be seen that he was not joking, the spy was overjoyed, knelt on the ground and said: "Thank you, Shanyu, thank you, Shanyu!" After drinking the kumiss, he ran out happily.

Looking at the spy's back, he let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Ben Shanyu can finally send troops."

Xu Luo took a step forward and said, "Please send your ministers to the Southern Dynasty again, and ask them why they didn't keep their promises and sent troops to attack the Hexi Corridor."

Mao nodded and said: "It is necessary to send someone to question you. You don't need to go to this kind of face-saving matter. You can fight with Ben Shanyu."

Su Luoqi said: "The Great Chanyu, the soldiers of the Southern Dynasties are coming to the Hexi Corridor, and the entire Hexi Corridor will be taken down in a short time. We should take stabilizing the Hexi Corridor as the most urgent task at present, and we must not go east."

Mao Dun looked at Suluo and said, "I understand your feelings, but have you ever thought that if I want to stop the Southern Dynasty from sending troops to the Hexi Corridor now, it will take strength. Our strength is far inferior to that of the Southern Dynasty. Will the emperor of the Southern Dynasty listen to us? He won't listen. Therefore, Ben Shanyu wants to destroy the Donghu before the Southern Dynasty can attack Shanyuting. As long as the Donghu is destroyed, the strength of the Huns will increase unprecedentedly. Only by paying the price with the Southern Dynasty can we have capital."

Su Luo was convinced by Mao Dun's analysis, and said: "Da Shan Yu, I understand."

Mao Dun said: "Go and call everyone, and Donghu's emissary."

Su Luo responded and went out.Looking at Xu Luo's back, Mo Dun sat down happily.

After a while, the officials came in and said hello to Maodun.

The ministers had just sat down when the Donghu envoy came in arrogantly, smelling of alcohol, hiccupping while looking at Maodun, and said very rudely: "Modun, the woman you give to this envoy, this envoy will play with you. It’s over, I’m tired, I’m bored. This emissary heard that you have a Yan family, who looks so juicy, you play with this emissary for two days, and I will return it to you after playing with this emissary, hehe.”

The envoys of Donghu were rampant in the Xiongnu, and they didn't pay attention to the Xiongnu at all. It was not surprising that the officials were not surprised. This time, they actually asked for Maodun's Yan family in front of the officials. It was really crazy. It was out of control, and the officials couldn't bear it any longer, they shouted in unison, and even some bad-tempered ones drew out their weapons and prepared to be violent.

The envoy of Donghu looked at the officials with slanted drunken eyes, not caring at all.

Mao Dun remained calm, and said: "The Yan family is a little pretty, if the envoy likes it, she will be yours."

All the ministers said in unison: "The Great Chanyu!"

Mao Dun waved his hand and said: "Why lose the good relationship between the two families for one woman, this matter is settled like this." The officials had no choice but to sit down.

Mao Dun stood up and said: "If it is convenient for your envoy, please move outside the tent. I will hand over the Yan family to you in front of the people."

The envoy of Donghu was a drunkard, he was very happy to hear this, and said: "Yes, yes." He ran out first.Mao Dun led his ministers out of the tent, and saw that the troops on the flat ground in front of them had assembled and lined up in neat formations one after another.

Mao Dun stood in the middle and rushed to the army, saying: "Warriors of the Great Huns: Donghu sent envoys to our Great Huns to ask for women, fine wine, dried meat and BMWs. Are you willing to give them?"

"I don't want to!" Countless troops shouted together, and the sound shook the sky.

The envoy of Donghu was taken aback, and said to Maodun: "Modun, what are you going to do? Will you obey my king's order?"

Mao Dun didn't even look at him, and continued to speak, saying: "Ben Shanyu is not willing, but our strength is not strong enough, so we have to endure it. Now, our Huns are already very strong, so we don't have to bear it anymore. Our lives can no longer be exchanged for women's breasts, but our lives, our blood. Use our knives to pierce the enemy's chest!"

He is a natural orator, and his speech has exciting power. If he draws his sword again, all the Xiongnu army will show their scimitars and shout in unison: "Revenge! Revenge!"

In the disbelief of the Donghu envoy, Mao Dun waved his hand, and several wolf-like guards came up and carried him to a large banner, and raised the knife in his hand, blood spattered everywhere, and the blood of the Donghu envoy sprayed on the flag , The flag ceremony is complete.

Mao Dun flew on his horse and shouted: "Revenge!" He slapped the horse's back and galloped eastward.

Behind him, countless Hun troops followed him and drove eastward, hooves sounded like thunder, and they were rushing eastward like a sea tide!
