Wu Tong took his clothes with him for convenience. Everyone in the caravan was full of praise, the shopkeeper is the shopkeeper, he is really particular about it. It is admirable to change clothes once for convenience, even in the rain of arrows and guns.
Not far away, three thousand Huns were almost killed by Wang Ben's men. Wang Ben's people also suffered heavy losses.
After all, it is still a bit difficult when one versus three fights to the death.
Now there were only a few hundred Huns left, surrounding the caravan.
They know that these businessmen cannot die. If they die, the Huns will be unable to seize the Central Plains.
Wang Ben raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Kill, no one will be spared."
Those Qin soldiers rushed up with disheveled hair.
There was sadness in the eyes of the Huns. They felt that they might be buried here today.
At this moment, a violent sound of horse hooves suddenly came from not far away.
Everyone looked over there. They saw a group of ragged Huns, men, women and children.
These people rode horses of different colors and rushed up in confusion.
It was the nearby Xiongnu tribe who got the news that Shanyu's guests were attacked. Men, women, and children from the entire tribe came to help in the battle.
This is a ragtag group of people, but they can't stand the crowd. Moreover, the Huns often hunted on horseback and were quite capable of fighting.
Wang Ben looked at the caravan not far away, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go."
Then, he turned his horse's head and fled far away with the Qin soldiers under his command.
Killing Huaiguzi is important, but your own life is also important. Wang Ben is a general, not a reckless man, and he understands this very well.
He just didn't expect that a caravan would be guarded by thousands of Huns, and that there would be Hun tribesmen risking their lives to protect it.
It seems that Huaiguzi is very popular among the Huns.
The more Wang Ben thought about it, the more frightened he became.
By this time, Wu Tong had already changed his clothes.
He stood in front of the carriage and looked at the Huns who were desperately resisting with some speechlessness.
The Huns are so stupid that they just made up a lie and they believed it?
In fact, Wu Tong also thought a lot along the way, and he had already guessed it. In Li Shui's letter, there was nothing about Huashan praying for blessings, or about five thousand pig heads or five thousand bull heads.
Li Shui must have used some means to deceive Sha Tilie. As for me, I just added a little bit of seasoning to Huai Guzi's feast.
Wu Tong looked at the flocks of cattle and sheep, and he admired Huaiguzi even more.
While Wu Tong was deep in thought, the members of the caravan looked at him in awe.
The situation was extremely critical just now, but shopkeeper Wu Da was not afraid, and his face did not change even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. Now that everyone has survived the catastrophe, they are very lucky. But shopkeeper Wu Da remained silent and did not get carried away at all.
No wonder Shopkeeper Wu’s business has grown so big. No one else can match his ability to nourish Qi.
Three thousand Huns were beaten to pieces and were no longer enough to undertake the escort task.
So the nearby Xiongnu tribe invited Wu Tong and others to visit. The Huns soldiers were sent to the Shanyu King's court for rescue.
Before the Xiongnu messenger set out, he found Wu Tong. He said respectfully: "May I ask the envoy of Great Qin, who is the person who attacked us?"
Wu Tong glared and said, "I was attacked on Xiongnu territory. How do I know who the other party is?"
The messenger said: "Looking at the clothes and hair accessories of those people, some of them look like Donghu people."
Wu Tong nodded in agreement and softened his attitude a lot: "I also think he is from Donghu."
The messenger added: "However, some of their habits are like those from the Central Plains. This... villain is a little undecided. Since the messenger is from Da Qin, the villain wants to ask if they are from the Central Plains. people?"
In fact, Wu Tong had already noticed that those people were definitely from Qin, and they spoke Guanzhong dialect so fluently.
But he couldn't admit that a group of Qin people appeared here to kill him. This kind of thing is very complicated. If the explanation is not clear, it will bring some unnecessary guesses, which will be a big trouble to yourself.
After all, these cattle and sheep were all cheated. If Man Chanyu found out something was wrong based on some clues, he would not have to return to the Central Plains in this life.
It is better to do less than to do more. It is better to divert the disaster to the east and bring it to the East Hu people.
So Wu Tong said with certainty: "They are indeed deliberately imitating the habits of the Central Plains people. It's just that they are imitating something specious. They only get the form but not the spirit. You can't tell, but we Qin people can see through it at a glance."
The envoy said thoughtfully: "So, the Donghu people deliberately pretended to be Qin people and attacked us. Want to provoke a war between the two sides?"
Wu Tong said: "It must be so. The people of Donghu heard that King Zuo Xian had a high prestige in Qin, and they must be afraid that the Xiongnu would merge with Qin. By then, wouldn't he, Donghu, be in danger? So he came to sow discord and just wanted to kill After marrying me, King Zuo Xian and Da Qin will become enmity. In this way, Dong Hu can reap the benefits of being a fisherman."
The messenger nodded vigorously and said, "Sir, what you said makes sense. I will report back to Shanyu immediately."
Then, the envoy rode a fast horse and galloped away towards Shanyu's court.
As for Wu Tong and others, they went to the tribe of the Huns. They were entertained with good wine and meat.
The Huns always treat guests the same way. Wine, meat, and beautiful slave girls.
After the Central Plains people experienced it, they always had only one thought: What the hell is this?
The messenger kept working day and night, and soon arrived at the court of Shan Yu.
He met Chanyu out of breath and said: "Donghu attacked the caravan and killed thousands of my Xiongnu descendants."
At that time, Shanyu was drinking with the Yan family. When he heard this, he suddenly became furious: "The Donghu people are so brave. What happened to the Qin envoy named Wu Tong?"
The messenger said: "Wu Tong is safe and sound, and his men are also unscathed."
Shan Yu nodded: "Okay, if Wu Tong is saved, the Qin Dynasty will be in my pocket. As for Dong Hu..."
The Yan family said from the side: "The Donghu people are so arrogant. If we don't teach them a lesson, they will definitely push themselves further."
Shan Yu nodded slowly and asked Sha Tilie to be called.
Now the Chanyu attaches great importance to Shatilie and discusses all military and state affairs with him.
When Sha Tilie heard that the Donghu people attacked Wu Tong, he was also furious. He felt that this Donghu man was really a troublemaker. If Wu Tong really died, Huaiguzi would definitely suspect that he did it. By then, wouldn't his secret be known to everyone?
The Chanyu asked Shatilie: "My son, sooner or later the position of the Chanyu will be yours. As a father, I have to listen. If you were the Chanyu, how would you handle this matter?"
Shatilie thought for a while and said: "We should send people immediately to escort Wu Tong back to the Central Plains. This time the number of people should be doubled."
Shanyu nodded. This answer is quite satisfactory. Then he asked: "Then what should the Donghu people do?"
Shatilie said: "Of course we will send troops to attack."
Shanyu frowned and said, "However, your brother Maodun is on a mission to Donghu. Wouldn't attacking Donghu at this time harm him?"
Shatilie's IQ suddenly exploded, and he said to Shanyu mysteriously: "Father, how do you know that Donghu is attacking this time. Isn't it Moton's idea?"
Shanyu was immediately shocked.
Shatilie was a little proud. He suddenly discovered that dealing with Huaiguzi for a long time would help improve his IQ. Especially in terms of making up lies, there has been considerable progress.
He went on to analyze: "Father, think about it. Just as we sent Wu Tong away, the Donghu people came to attack. Why did they move so fast? This is obviously the internal response of the Donghu people in the court of Shan Yu."
Shan Yu shook his head and said: "Absolutely impossible. How could I, a Huns, be an internal agent for Dong Hu?"
Shatilie said: "Among the Xiongnu nobles, there are several people who have always been on good terms with Mao Dun. If they are unwilling to work as internal agents for Donghu, will they do so for Mao Dun?"
"After Modu got the news, his first reaction was naturally to kill the envoy to prevent me from befriending the Qin Dynasty. Once I befriended the Qin Dynasty and captured the Central Plains, it would be an unparalleled feat for the Huns. He, Mao Dun, would never have a chance to compete with me again. It’s Shan Yu’s place.”
"So he borrowed troops from the Eastern Hu to kill the Qin envoys and destroy the relationship between the Huns and the Central Plains. Even...Father, he can borrow troops to kill the Qin people today. Will he borrow troops to kill the Huns tomorrow?"
Shanyu was startled: "Kill my Huns? Does he have such courage?"
Yan's eyes suddenly turned red and he said, "Why not? A few days ago, I asked the wizard of the clan. The wizard told me that Mo Dun looks like a human on the outside, but actually there is a wolf living inside. In the future, he will Kill your father and marry your mother.”
Shanyu's eyes became more and more gloomy: "So, if I don't pass the Shanyu position to him, he will kill me?"
Neither Yanshi nor Satile said anything.
The fire is already very bright, there is no need to add more firewood.
Sure enough, after a while, Touman Shanyu made up his mind and said: "My son, you go and choose a brave general and order him to lead ten thousand cavalry to attack Donghu. Don't have any scruples."
Shatilie was so excited that he immediately agreed and hurried out.
Scruples? He had no scruples and wished the Donghu people had killed Mao Dun.
Touman Chanyu sent out tens of thousands of people. They were divided into several teams. On the one hand, they were on guard duty, and on the other hand, they had to escort two groups of Da Qin envoys.
For a moment, the atmosphere on the grassland suddenly became tense.
Such a tense atmosphere had a great impact on Wang Ben.
Wang Ben only had 500 people left, and their situation was very difficult.
Now the Huns are in turmoil, and any slightest movement will soon attract a large number of Hun cavalry.
Wang Ben and others could only put on their clothes and tie their hair up. After all, he had just fought with the Xiongnu as a Donghu man. If he was recognized, he would die without a burial place.
They don't dare to pretend to be Huns, and their secrets will be revealed in a minute, so they should act as Qin people.
Wang Ben decided to hide some of the weapons in the team and only keep one or two for self-defense. The entire team dressed up as merchants.
Half an hour later, Wang Ben's people began to move around on the grassland in the name of merchants. They were still inquiring about Wu Tong, and they did not give up the pursuit.
However, before they could find Wu Tong, they were found by the Huns first.
This is a group of Huns cavalry, with thousands of people, and they are all elites sent by Shanyu.
The Xiongnu general looked at Wang Ben and others and asked, "Are they from Qin?"
Wang Ben hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a merchant, a merchant from Zhongyuan. He sells salt."
Salt is what the Huns need most, and the merchants who sell salt are also what the Huns like most.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the Huns' expressions softened a lot.
Wang Ben and others had just breathed a sigh of relief when the Huns general suddenly said: "Since you are merchants, where is your salt?"
Wang Ben immediately replied: "I met the Donghu people and was robbed."
It was a premeditated answer that came out fluently. But the Hun general asked very vigilantly: "Then let me ask you, how many sheepskins can be exchanged for a pound of salt on the grassland?"
Wang Ben was immediately stopped.
The Xiongnu general sneered and said: "You are not merchants at all. I see that you are all strong and energetic. There are no such merchants in the world. You are like Qin soldiers."
When Wang Ben and others heard this, their hearts suddenly tightened: "Five hundred Qin soldiers are deep behind the enemy's rear. The enemy knows that they have bad intentions without interrogation. This time, I am afraid it is really more dangerous than bad."
At this time, Wang Heng, who was next to him, was moved in his heart and said: "Yes, we are Qin soldiers. We specially escorted Mr. Wang Ben as envoy to the Huns. Mr. Wang Ben is the envoy of Huaiguzi. Just because we met Donghu on the way. People, for safety’s sake, have to disguise themselves.”
Wang Heng's idea was perfect. After all, the Huns risked their lives to protect Wu Tong sent by Li Shui. It can be seen that Huaiguzi has a high status here among the Huns.
If they pretend to be Huaiguzi's messengers, they will definitely not be in danger.
Sure enough, the Hun general suddenly laughed: "It turns out to be Huaiguzi's envoy. Then come with me to see Lord Shanyu."
Which Huns with a little status don't know that King Zuo Xian has a good relationship with Huaiguzi? Who doesn’t know that Huaiguzi has sent two groups of envoys?
So the Xiongnu general, who was familiar with the family and the way, took Wang Ben and his party to the court of Shan Yu.
At this time, Shatilie had just sent out his cronies, looking for trouble in Donghu with murderous intent.
Suddenly I heard that Huaiguzi sent another group of messengers.
Shatilie almost fainted and raised the knife, wanting to chop off his own head. Go to Baidu to read the latest chapter of "I was a great hero in the Qin Dynasty" for free as soon as possible.
