I pointed to the map: "The Dayue clan came from the west to contain Wu Jian's cavalry; the Huns who attacked Jiuyuan County were to contain Meng Tian's border troops. And Mao Dun, who disappeared, must have arrived here!"
When everyone saw me pointing at the old Xiongnu land between Langting and Jiuyuan County, they reacted instantly. Maodun's goal was never to plunder Jiuyuan County or to plunder Daqin, but to regain the Xiongnu's old territory! All this is to buy time for him to regain the old territory of the Huns!
Everyone gasped, and Feng Jie frowned: "This Modun is so terrifying! But why haven't you heard of this person before?"
At this time, we still don’t know how Maodun obtained the position of Shanyu!
But I knew his origin and said slowly: "He is the son of Touman Chanyu. It is said that he is very talented, but he is not loved by Touman. I have never heard of his name and thought he was dead." , it suddenly appeared out of nowhere!"
I turned to Zhang Han and said, "You should immediately reply to Wu Jian and ask him to guard against the Xiongnu and Dayue clan who continue to move south. Tell Meng Tian to defend Jiuyuan County. Although Mao Dun's target is not Jiuyuan County, if possible, , he will definitely not miss this opportunity to rob!"
Zhang Han frowned and said, "But what about the Xiongnu's old land?"
I took a deep breath and shook my head helplessly: "Da Qin lost this battle!"
Everyone understands what I mean. Now that Wu Jian's cavalry and Meng Tian's frontier troops have been restrained, it is impossible to prevent Mao Dun from regaining the Xiongnu's old territory.
Li Si frowned and said with luck, "After all, the Huns were severely injured. Maybe Beihu can withstand Maodun!"
I was noncommittal: "It would be best if Zalut can be stopped. Zhang Han, please send someone to inform Zalut at the same time. Although he may know earlier than us, he probably won't get there much earlier."
Judging from Maodun's military prowess in history and this surprise attack, it is almost impossible for Zalut's cavalry to withstand Maodun.
Feng Jie hesitated and asked: "Could it be that Zarut knew about it a long time ago and deliberately didn't tell His Majesty?"
I shook my head: "I still trust him. Besides, what good will losing the Xiongnu's old territory do to him? The Xiongnu will probably attack him next. Speaking of which, you ask the border troops in the upper valley to prepare for it. Feng Youcheng maintains contact with Zalut, and if the Xiongnu really attacks Beihu, he will provide timely assistance to Zalut."
Zhang Han immediately went out to prepare.
I sat down thoughtfully, thinking about how to deal with Mao Dun.
Li Si and Feng Jie saw my brows furrowed. Li Si stepped forward and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, how should I reply to the envoy from the Western Regions tomorrow?"
Only then did I remember that there were still a group of envoys from the Western Regions waiting for my reply.
He smiled helplessly, and as soon as he finished pretending to be cool, he was slapped in the face, which really hurt his balls.
After thinking about it, I said slowly: "It doesn't matter. Don't go out and talk nonsense about the changes at the border. I will deal with it myself. You go ahead, I have to think about it carefully."
The two of them looked at each other and had no better ideas. They said, "Your Majesty, please don't worry too much." Then they exited the Sihai Palace.
After sitting in the hall and thinking about it all night, I went to sleep with my clothes on.
The next day, he arranged his manners and met with the envoys from the Western Regions in Xianyang Hall.
When we entered the palace, it was already filled with things I asked Qiwan to prepare. The envoys were looking at the novel objects curiously, admiring the exquisite porcelain and silk, completely forgetting about Wusun's threat.
Seeing my arrival, everyone saluted. Li Si and Feng Jie looked at me worriedly, and I told them not to worry.
Then he said with a smile: "Envoys, how about these porcelain and silk?"
The envoy from Shanbei was obviously educated by the envoys from other countries after returning. Although his attention was still on the iron sword, he praised: "The porcelain of Da Qin is very exquisite. This silk is as light as nothing and smooth and soft to the touch." , it is truly a rare and exquisite product!”
Others echoed.
I smiled and said: "The porcelain and silk we traded with you before were not of the best quality because of the long journey and fear of damage. From now on, Da Qin will bring out the best porcelain and silk to trade with you!"
There was another burst of admiration from everyone.
After a long time, I finally remembered the business.
Kaqu said loudly: "Emperor Qin, how have you considered sending troops to assist the Tianshan countries?"
I had a worried look on my face and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid you don't know something. I just received a military report from the border yesterday. The Huns suddenly went south and are attacking our border with Qin!"
Including the courtiers of Great Qin, everyone was shocked and started talking.
However, Kaqu and Quedun were overjoyed, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but rise. They couldn't hold back their joy and said, "Is this true of the Emperor of Qin?"
I nodded: "It's a matter of military and national importance, how dare I speak nonsense?"
Que Dun immediately saluted and said: "Emperor Qin, now that the Huns are attacking your country again, we have a common enemy. Isn't it the time to unite to fight against the Huns?"
Seeing the expressions of the two people, I snorted in my heart: 'Don't you still want Da Qin to send troops? How dare you show a gloating expression, I can't trick you! '
He agreed: "Your envoy is right, we should unite. However, the Qin Dynasty is under attack, and I am afraid that we will not be able to take action for a while. The Xiongnu attacked the Qin Dynasty for no reason, and I cannot just watch you being ravaged by the Huns. After I repel the Xiongnu, I will immediately send troops to help you resist Wusun! After Wusun is defeated, we can defeat the Xiongnu together, how about it?"
Everyone was overjoyed and immediately shouted: "The Emperor of Qin is a wise man!"
When the Shanbei envoy heard this, he had already forgotten about the iron sword. There was no point in intimidating them, so I didn't mention the iron sword again.
"Then envoys, please go back quickly. I am worried that the Xiongnu will plot the Western Region at the same time, so you should go back and make preparations early."
Everyone claimed it was.
Before leaving, Kaqu did not forget to ask: "May I ask the Emperor of Great Qin, when will the army of Great Qin arrive in the Western Regions?"
I wonder: "I really can't promise you the envoy. Even if there is no problem with the Xiongnu, it will take several months for my army to rush from Daqin to the Western Regions. You have fought against the Xiongnu for dozens of hundreds of years, and it is impossible to even take this time." You can’t hold it in, can you?”
Hearing this, although Kaqu was a little worried, Wusun's offensive was getting more and more fierce, and he was really worried that Qiuci wouldn't be able to withstand it. However, since I had already said this, he couldn't say any more and retreated with the others.
After the envoys left, someone immediately asked about the situation in the North. I only said that it would not affect Da Qin, and said no more. They have been in Xianyang for a long time and do not know what is going on. It is useless to talk to them. As for not affecting Da Qin, I don’t believe that Meng Tian has the help of the Great Wall, and even more than 10,000 people can’t resist it!
