After agreeing on all the details, Qiang Yu began to write the covenant in Qin and Xiongnu respectively.
The Xiongnu did not have their own script, and used the unified script of the Di people in the north, and the Beidi script was very similar to the Xirong script.
After the covenant was written, Ying Zheng signed his name on it and stamped it with the royal seal.
Touman also wrote his name and made a bloody fingerprint.
At this moment, the alliance between Da Qin and the Xiongnu was officially concluded.
[Later, this agreement was broken by Mao Dun, who killed his father and seized the throne. This move completely angered Ying Zheng, so he sent Meng Tian to attack the Huns]
Ying Zheng pulled Tou Man to the front of the black fox and said: "The blood of this sweat-blooded horse is extremely pure. Not only is it handsome in appearance, but its speed and endurance are also unparalleled in the world. I spent a lot of effort to get it." of."
Touman looked at the head and neck, limbs, belly and buttocks of the black fox with burning eyes, and then patted it gently, muttering: "Good horse, good horse!"
Ying Zheng handed the reins to Touman's hands and said, "Now, it's yours."
Touman was so happy that he was at a loss. It was easy to see from his eyes that at this moment, he really regarded Ying Zheng as a friend.
Black Fox seemed to understand what Ying Zheng meant, and began to dodge reluctantly.
After Ying Zheng comforted him for a moment, Hei Hu's mood eased.
Touman said: "I can't repay such a great gift from the King of Qin. How about the King of Qin send a few people to go back with me to get the He's Bi?"
"Okay, I will send a team of people to follow you." Ying Zheng said, "It's getting late. Let's go back and repair on this black fox. I will practice it for you tomorrow."
Touman climbed onto the black fox and returned to the Huns' camp happily.
It wasn't until he was far away that Thorin came over and whispered: "Brother Wang, what a pity it is to send the black fox out like this."
Ying Zheng knew that he loved the black fox very much, so he said: "It's worth trading a horse for the peace of the north. Besides, didn't a new batch of sweat-blooded horses arrive quickly? Didn't you long ago say that you would help me raise them?" You can see horses every day from now on."
Thorin smiled happily and no longer bothered about the black fox.
Ying Zheng asked Wang Jian to select 500 capable sergeants, drive some cattle and sheep, and carry a lot of fine wine to the Xiongnu camp to comfort the Xiongnu warriors.
These sergeants will also go to the prairie with the Huns army, and then come back with He's Bi, so they must first establish a good relationship with the Huns.
The military medical team brought from Xianyang also entered the Xiongnu camp and began to treat the wounded.
After everything was arranged, Ying Zheng sent several teams to search for Ji Fa.
Ji Fa should have arrived at Yinshan Mountain long ago. He must have gone directly to Huoyan, so he hasn't appeared yet.
Early the next morning, as soon as Ying Zheng got up, he saw Ji Fa entering the camp.
After sitting down in the tent, Ying Zheng quickly asked: "Master, have you been to the Fire Eye?"
Ji Fa nodded and said, "Well, I went to see the prisoner cow. It really wants to see you."
"Then you rest for a while, and then we'll set off." Ying Zheng said.
The two of them ate some food and made some preparations. Taking only the Mengtian brothers and a few guards with them, they set out for the Fire Eye deep in the Yin Mountains to visit Prisoner Niu.
Because he had to cross several lines of defense of the Zhao army, Ying Zheng simply went directly to find Li Mu.
Li Mu had long known the news of Ying Zheng's arrival and was about to go to the Qin army's camp to find out what was going on. However, he didn't expect the King of Qin to come directly, so he quickly invited them into the tent.
After some polite remarks, Li Mu asked:
"May I ask King Qin, the Huns have been besieged for several days, what arrangements should be made?"
Ying Zheng smiled and told him about the signing of the alliance with Touman Chanyu, except that he omitted the construction of the Great Wall.
Li Mu blinked and murmured: "So, Zhao will not be harassed by the Huns again in the future?"
"They will not come again." Ying Zheng said with certainty, "At least not during the years Touman Shanyu was in power."
"Haha, then the Zhao State has a lot less trouble." Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since the founding of the Zhao State, the friction with the Xiongnu and Donghu has never stopped."
"So, this time is not in vain." Ying Zheng said sarcastically, "I just asked you to make way, but you still didn't agree."
Li Mu said with a look of shame on his face: "That's not what I thought. Besides, King Zhao was seriously ill at the time, so he couldn't respond immediately."
Ying Zheng asked with concern: "How is the situation in Zhao's court now?"
Li Mu replied: "When I came out, it was basically stable. Although Zhao Jia was dissatisfied, he had basically lost power because he had been deposed for many years, and the important ministers in the court did not dare to go against Lao Wang's orders, so he basically didn't People will support Zhao Jia again.”
"It's good if it's stable." Ying Zheng said, "I also have a certain responsibility for the fluctuations in your court. Fortunately, nothing serious happened. By the way, Da Qin has conquered many cities of Zhao State. You don't blame me. Bar."
Li Mu was a sincere person and said bluntly: "It would be a lie to say that I am not surprised. After all, Zhao Guo suffered a lot of losses, and King Qin went back on your word and suddenly came to kill you."
Ying Zheng felt guilty and held up his hands and said: "General Li, forgive me, I really had no choice at that time. You also know that the fighting opportunity is fleeting. If I didn't choose that way, maybe facing the Huns now, it would be another person." situation."
Li Muxin was right. If Solin and the others hadn't rushed to the battlefield quickly and he hadn't led his troops to encircle them, how could Man Shanyu have surrendered obediently?
Compared with the losses suffered by Qin's siege, it seems that the benefits brought by suppressing the Xiongnu were greater.
Thinking of this, Li Mu said: "Forget it, King Zhao didn't say anything, so I have nothing to say. I just hope that King Qin will not take advantage of it in the future."
Ying Zheng thought: Of course he will not take advantage of the situation in the future, he will only attack head-on, regardless of whether you are weak or not.
Although he thought so in his heart, Ying Zheng said: "This is natural. Unless the Zhao State is in turmoil and needs assistance, I will not easily send a large army into the Zhao State again."
After a pause, Ying Zheng continued: "To express my apology, the merits of defeating the Xiongnu this time will all belong to General Li. Da Qin will not take any credit, and it will be written so in future history books."
No one in the world wants to leave their name in the history books, especially those generals with great military exploits.
Li Mu's eyes lit up and he said, "In this case, Li Mu is not polite."
"Well, after I return, I will tell the world." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "General Li Mu led the Zhao army to severely defeat the Xiongnu and severely weakened their vitality. In the past twenty years, they will not invade the Central Plains again."

A proud smile flashed in Li Mu's eyes.
"By the way, how is Hu Yu doing lately?" Ying Zheng asked instead.
Li Mu replied: "After the old King Zhao passed away, my wife was very sad. She stayed at the funeral until the old King Zhao was buried. When I led the troops out, she was still quite haggard."
When Ying Zheng heard this, he felt very concerned.
"Let's do this. After the Xiongnu leaves, I will follow you back to Handan and take Hu Yu back." Ying Zheng said, "Maybe her mood will get better after leaving Handan Palace."
"It's best to talk to King Zhao on the way." Li Mu said.
The two chatted for a while, and Ying Zheng said he wanted to see the entire terrain of Yinshan Mountain and asked Li Mu to make an opening.
Li Mu personally escorted Ying Zheng and his party past the several lines of defense, and gave Ying Zheng a token for use when he came back.
Ji Fa took Ying Zheng and others and continued to move southwest, over countless mountain ridges and across many valleys. Ji Fa finally stopped and ordered everyone to stay put.
Only taking Ying Zheng into a valley, Ji Fa got into a hole first, and Ying Zheng followed.
This cave is sloping downward, and the soil is very fluffy and dry.
After winding my way out of the cave, I entered another cave along the bottom of another valley.
Strangely enough, this cave is very dark and humid, and you can still hear the faint sound of wind, which makes it feel a bit scary.
Exiting this cave, we came to the third cave entrance.
Ying Zheng thought: These mythical beasts are troublesome, they are always hidden so secretly.
Ji Fa seemed to know what he was thinking. He looked at him and said, "Don't worry, after passing this cave, you will find its lair."
Ying Zheng nodded and walked in.
This cave is even weirder, even the air is hot, and the feet are very hard, as if they are all stones.
Not long after walking out, we started to climb uphill, seeming to be heading into the mountain.
Just listen to Ji Fa say: "The prison cow doesn't like dark environments, so its lair is in a mountain where sunlight can shine through."
"Why do they like different environments?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.
Ji Fa replied: "Those divine beasts and divine birds have different five elements attributes, just like the five types of divine birds included in the Phoenix tribe. The phoenix and phoenix have the attributes of fire and water respectively, while the remaining Qingluan, The three tribes of Suzaku and Golden Crow belong to the three attributes of wood, earth and metal."
"Oh, no wonder the Golden Crow is called the Golden Crow." Ying Zheng said, "Master once said that the originator of the Golden Crow was imprisoned in the Shaoyang of Jiuyou. Why?"
"If we want to talk about this reason, we have to talk about it from the ancestors of Pangu." Ji Fa said, "That is a story that only our Tiancheng lineage knows. This is not the place to talk. I will find time to tell you after I go back. explain."
Although he knew something about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Ying Zheng had never heard much about the Pangu period. He only knew that the "Book of Mountains and Seas" he recited was supplemented by the Tiancheng lineage, and the original "Book of Mountains and Seas" ", is actually Pangu's plan to transform this planet.
Suppressing the curiosity in his heart, Ying Zheng continued to move forward with Ji Fa. Because the air was hotter, he opened the kettle and took a few big gulps.
I don’t know how far I climbed before I finally came to a relatively spacious space. When I looked up, I saw a huge creature staring over here.
I saw that this mythical beast was similar in size to a yak, but more than twice as big. Its face was wider than that of Yazu, but not as ferocious as Yazu, and its pupils were not red. The horns on the head are more obvious, similar to deer antlers, the mane is less lush, and the strong muscles are clearly visible.
"Senior Qi Niu, we are here." Ji Fa said politely.
Prisoner Niu said expressionlessly: "I've smelled it a long time ago. I'm not waiting for you here."
Ying Zheng thought: It turns out that this prisoner cow has a sharp nose, just like Xi's sharp ears.
"Ying Zheng of Qin State, I have met my senior." Ying Zheng bowed his hands in greeting.
Prisoner Niu looked at Ying Zheng, his eyes widened a bit: "Are you Ying Zheng? Have you brought my gift? Come on, let's play a song."
Ying Zheng: "..."
