Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 447: Fighting the barbarians won without a fight ([-])

Hearing Zhou Chong's words, he raised his sword eyebrows suddenly, his tiger's eyes flashed sharply, and then disappeared, he laughed, and said, "May I ask Mr. Zhou why you said this? May I ask Mr. Zhou, this Chanyu has always wanted to make friends with Daqin." Well, if this is wolf ambition, then please ask what is not wolf ambition?"

Zhou Chong stared at Mao Dun, and said coldly: "Don't worry, Da Shanyu, I, Zhou Chong, will convince you."

After a confrontation between Fusu and Maodun, he felt that this person was indeed difficult to deal with. Now that Zhou Chong came forward, he could just study hard and made up his mind to wait and see Zhou Chong's argument against Maodun.

Chen Ping and Meng Tian also had the same idea as Fu Su, holding up the teacups, enjoying the show while sipping tea.

Mao Dun was already angry, but he is a very deep-rooted person, his emotions and anger are invisible, and there is no displeasure on his face, but a smile on his face, and said: "Mr. Zhou's name, Mao Dun has heard of it for a long time. I've long wanted to see the gentleman's demeanor, but I haven't been able to find it. It's really extraordinary to see him today. It's very fortunate that Mao Dun is willing to listen to the gentleman's high opinion!"

His performance was indeed convincing. Zhou Chong admired Modun in his heart as one of the most difficult opponents he encountered in this world, and said: "The big Shanyu is too much. Zhou Chong has something unclear, and I would like to ask the big Shan Yu, for a country, is it better to have one powerful neighbor, or two less powerful neighbors?"

This is a question that you don’t need to think about to know the answer. Modu didn’t even think about it, and said: “Of course it’s better to have two neighboring countries that are not too powerful, because the two countries are not too powerful and pose little threat to themselves. With a powerful country on your side, that's tantamount to..." He opened his mouth wide and stopped talking.

Zhou Chong took his words, helped him to speak out, and said, "That's like letting others sleep soundly on the side of the couch, isn't it?"

Mao Dun just wanted to make this metaphor, nodded and said: "Exactly. Please rest assured, Mr. Zhou, the Great Huns and Great Qin are neighbors and brothers. The Great Huns will never do anything wrong to Great Qin." He already understood that Zhou Chong asked this question. The intention of the question has been clarified, and I am busy clearing it up.

Zhou Chong was noncommittal, and asked instead: "What guarantee do you use?"

Without thinking about it for a while, he said plausibly: "What Ben Shanyu said is true, please rest assured Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Chong sneered and said, "The Da Chanyu promised that whoever believed in him would be destroyed; Touman Shanyu believed in your loyalty, but he was killed by you; Donghu King believed that you would surrender wholeheartedly, but he defeated the country by you. Family death, if Daqin believes in you again, then Daqin will be blind. Who dares to trust your guarantee for someone with wolfish ambitions like you?"

These words hit the point directly, and Fusu and the others claimed it well.However, these words are too sharp, especially when it comes to Mao Dun's murder of his father, it is even more painful in Mao Dun's heart, he can't help but change color, pressing his right hand on the handle of the knife, staring at Zhou Chong, Zhou Chong is not afraid at all, but instead Staring at him, he said, "Am I wrong? Isn't what I said the truth?"

Mao Dun's chest rose and fell sharply. It took a while before he calmed down. He argued: "What Mr. Zhou said was only superficial. It was because Ben Shanyu had unavoidable difficulties. King Donghu oppressed us Xiongnu, and Daqin It is a state of brothers with the Xiongnu, Qin will not bully the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu will not do anything wrong to Qin."

Zhou Chong nodded and said: "I only believe that you won't do anything wrong to Da Qin now, but I can't believe it in the future, because your current strength is not enough, even if you want to do something wrong to Da Qin, you can't do it. If you have enough strength and Daqin confrontation, your hand was already on the handle of the knife just now, will you let go? You won't kill me Zhou Chong with one knife?"

These words were like a knife, and hit Maodun's vital point again, after weighing it just now, he decided to bear with it, then let go, and said with a smile: "Mr. Just now, I regretted that I couldn't kill you with a single knife, but now I don't regret it at all, you are a man who dares to speak and act, and I am very lucky to see Mr. Zhou's demeanor, very fortunate!" Speaking later, Ha ha laughed, very carefree.

This is the truth, his bearing is really as big as the sea, if it were another person, he would definitely hate Zhou Chong to death, but Mao Dun is just the opposite, he appreciates Zhou Chong instead, which cannot but be admired.Zhou Chong laughed and said, "Thank you, Da Shanyu Jinyan! It's just, why did Da Shanyu talk about him instead of answering my question?"

Mao Dun untied the knife, put it aside, and said: "I just wanted to kill Mr. Zhou with one knife, that's right, I thought about it after thinking about it."

Zhou Chong asked urgently, "Why didn't Da Shanyu do anything?"

Mouton replied very tactfully: "That's not appropriate."

Zhou Chong avoided Zhou Chong's problem very well. Zhou Chong had to praise this person for his fickleness and vigilance. He would never give the truth. Zhou Chong laughed and said, "If you don't want to say it, I can help you say it: There is only one thing that really restricts a country's actions, and that is strength. A country's behavior after it becomes strong is completely different from what it did before it became strong. You don't have enough strength to compete with Daqin now, and you can't turn against Daqin, right? "

These words are the best summary of the struggle between countries. The actions of countries are dominated by their strength. Those beautiful words are just used to whitewash the facade and have no real meaning. Strength is the decisive factor.

Fusu took over the conversation and said: "So, Daqin must not allow a powerful country that can pose a threat to Daqin to appear in the surrounding area. If necessary, Daqin will not hesitate to fight."

These words are already the "hole card", and Mao Dun knows that the problem is serious. All his actions, and his repeated concessions to Da Qin, are to prevent Da Qin from feeling threatened and start a war with him before he is strong.Now, when Fusu said this himself, he had no choice but to respond, and said with a smile: "Prince, please rest assured that no matter how powerful the Great Huns are, they will not have the strength of Daqin. This is very clear. The Crown Prince is a sensible person. Naturally I can see."

Chen Ping took over the topic and said: "This can only mean that you Huns do not have this strength now, but it does not mean that you will not have this strength in the future. If the Great Chanyu annexes Donghu now, then the strength of the Huns will increase exponentially, posing a threat to Great Qin." It will become more and more serious, and we, the country seekers, have to do everything possible. The Xiongnu can ask for Donghu’s gold and silk children and horses, but they must not occupy Donghu’s land. The attitude of Daqin on this point is very clear.”

Meng Tian put down the teacup, stood up abruptly, and said: "So, Donghu must be restored even if it is restored, and it must be restored if it is not restored. If Da Shanyu does not agree to restore Donghu, then Meng Tian has no choice but to do things that are sorry to Da Shanyu. "

The originally good negotiation atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Xu Luo and the others nervously pressed on the handle of the knife, aiming at Zhou Chong and Fusu, looking for targets.

Maodun did not sit still, he laughed loudly and said: "How will General Meng deal with me, Maodun? Will you arrest me now?"
