Mao Dun said to Shatilie: "Without further delay, we will send troops to the Peacock Kingdom immediately."
Shatilie said: "The total number of soldiers and horses in our country is only more than 10,000. It is said that the Peacock Kingdom has millions of soldiers. Even if we attack suddenly, can we win against them?"
Mao Dun smiled slightly: "Ten thousand wolves can eat one million sheep, which is more than enough."
Shatilie still trusted Mao Dun's military talents, so he nodded.
Mao Dun looked at Sha Tilie and said quietly: "Wait until the Peacock Kingdom is destroyed, and then attack the Qin Dynasty. At that time, you first choose a place to be the king. We two brothers will divide the world equally."
After hearing this, Shatilie felt bitter in his heart: If I had known this, why did we have to fight in the first place? Well, now, the two brothers have become incomplete men. Even if they win the world, what will happen?
Modun seemed to have guessed Sha Tilie's thoughts. He patted Sha Tilie on the shoulder: "There is still a lot of fun in this life. The most important thing for us now is to take revenge, flatten Xianyang City, and kill Emperor Qin. .”
Shatilie nodded vigorously.
By this time, revenge was the only motivation that kept him alive.
Shatilie was even vaguely worried. If Xianyang was crushed and the Emperor of Qin was killed, what fun would he have in living?
It would be better... to leave the emperor alone and not kill him, but to abuse him in every possible way.
When Shatilie thought of this, he couldn't help but smile.
Maodun and Shatilie acted very quickly. After all, the so-called Xiongnu Kingdom was not their hometown, so they just summoned the warriors and brought all the money and food they could.
As for what can't be taken away, just burn it all.
As a result, within a few days, fires raged in the Xiongnu Kingdom.
A man of insight went to Satile and Moton and cried, "Two great kings, the fire of yours naturally burns very happily, but after the fire is extinguished, how can all the people live?"
Mao Dun wanted to laugh a little: What the hell, the life and death of ordinary people is none of my business?
He thought so in his heart, but he still had to work hard to save face, so he said calmly: "What do the people do for a living? Of course they followed me on the expedition. There is the Peacock Kingdom in the south and Daqin in the east. They are both prosperous places. , I don’t know, it’s a thousand times stronger than here.”
"We, the Huns, have always believed in living by water and grass. If the water and grass are barren in one place, just change to another place. Why are you so stupid and willing to suffer poverty and starvation here?"
This knowledgeable person was a little confused: "But...but that doesn't require burning it all with fire."
Maodun thought to himself: How can I coerce these people to fight for me without burning them all?
Mao Dun said calmly: "This king is called a decisive battle. After burning your hometown, you can only move forward bravely. If you don't win, you will die in battle. Therefore, everyone fights bravely to be the first and conquer everything. Isn't it happy? "
Knowledgeable people are a little confused.
After a long time, he said to Mao Dun: "However, however..."
He paused for a long time and then said to Mao Dun: "However, what if we are defeated? Our hometown is gone. What should we do?"
Mao Dun didn't care at all. After all... these people are not his tribe, so what will happen if his hometown is gone? At worst, they could just take the Huns with them and occupy another place.
Mao Dun coughed slightly, suddenly straightened his face, and shouted loudly: "Our army is about to go on an expedition, but you are here to confuse the public with your lies. This crime should be punished."
Then, Mao Dun raised his scimitar and chopped off the head of the wise man.
Everyone around looked at Mao Dun in horror, and no one dared to say anything nonsense now.
Three days later, the army set off.
At the front were 10,000 regular troops. Behind them is a reserve army composed of tens of thousands of strong men.
These tens of thousands of people were originally farmers from the Seleucid Kingdom. They were in ragged clothes, malnourished, and weak, but at least they could fill up the number of people.
Following at the end were hundreds of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people.
There were old people, children, and women. These people are either weak, timid, or have never held a weapon.
Letting them go to the battlefield is sheer nonsense, and it will easily lead to a huge rout.
Shatilie rode on his horse and said to Moton: "When the Xiongnu fights, we pay attention to coming and going like the wind. Why do we have to bring so many old, weak, women and children with us this time?"
"Not only do they slow down our marching speed, but once a war breaks out, these people will mess up the position behind us, which will actually destabilize our military morale."
Modun looked at him in surprise: "Old, weak, women and children? Where do we find old, weak, women and children?"
Shatilie was stunned: "Where are the old, weak, women and children? Aren't they the ones following at the back?"
Modun looked back and said, "Isn't the one following at the back a grain truck?"
Shatilie suspected that he was hallucinating.
He also looked back and saw that there were indeed many cars behind him.
These vehicles are vehicles owned by the Huns. Everything from the army and the people was requisitioned, and all the grain that the Huns could collect was placed on it.
However, behind the grain truck, weren't there a group of stumbling old, weak, sick and disabled people?
He said to Moton: "Didn't you see the people following the grain truck?"
Modun smiled slightly: "I only saw food and grass."
Shatilie was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized: It turns out that those old, weak, women and children are food and fodder.
Shatilie admired Mao Dun and said: "Brilliant, really brilliant."
Moton burst out laughing.
…………
The army was vast, crossing rivers and climbing mountains. They finally arrived near the Peacock Kingdom.
Mao Dun did not move forward, but ordered the army to set up camp. Then he began to look for beautiful women among the grain and grass.
Shatilie looked at Mao Dun in confusion and thought: Does he still have this intention? It shouldn't be.
Soon, Mao Dun selected twenty stunning women.
All of them are good at singing and dancing, and are charming and moving.
Modu found another person who was proficient in Sanskrit and said to him: "As an envoy, you send this beauty to the Maurya King and say that our army has arrived as promised and we will unite with him to defeat the Qin Dynasty."
"After you go, your attitude must be humble and even flattering. You must make him believe that we have no insight into his plan to secretly cooperate with Da Qin."
The envoy agreed and took these twenty beauties into the Peacock Kingdom.
Sure enough, the Mauryan King beamed after seeing the beauty.
However, he said to the envoy with some dissatisfaction: "Why are there only beauties and no treasures?"
The messenger was stunned for a moment, thinking that this Peacock King was really greedy.
However, since he can be selected as an envoy, his level is also very high. After thinking for a while, he confidently said to the Mauryan King: "Your Majesty, the Mauryan Kingdom is vast and rich in products. What kind of gold and silver does it not have? If we offer more gold and silver, it will seem to be overestimating our capabilities."
"Only these twenty beauties, although not as good as the beauties of the Peacock Kingdom, are fortunate to have some exotic customs for the king to enjoy."
The Peacock King nodded with satisfaction: "Okay. Okay."
Then he asked the envoy: "Where is the Huns' army?"
The messenger said: "It is three hundred miles away from the Peacock Kingdom."
The Maurya King said: "Why so far?"
The envoy said humbly: "I dare not enter the Peacock Kingdom without your permission, for fear of offending the king's elite soldiers and generals."
The Peacock King was overjoyed and ordered people to entertain the envoys.
Then the Mauryan King was ready to send troops.
Some knowledgeable people stopped the Maurya King and said, "Your Majesty, this matter needs long-term consideration."
The Peacock King frowned: "Why?"
This insightful man said: "Now we have a common enemy, which is Da Qin. But once Da Qin is defeated, we will share Da Qin's territory with the Huns."
"We are separated from Da Qin by high mountains and long stretches of yellow sand. It would take several months to travel there. But what about the Xiongnu Kingdom? They can drive straight in through the grasslands in the north."
"I even heard that the founders of the Xiongnu Kingdom were originally a group of Huns who occupied the magpie's nest and stole the Seleucid Kingdom. If we destroy the Qin Dynasty, the Huns can return to the grassland, and then they will be with us in their hometown Can we win the battle?"
The Peacock King laughed loudly: "You are worrying too much. How small is the Huns? Even if they fight with me, can they defeat me?"
"What's more, you also saw the envoy just now. He was trembling and deliberately trying to please me. It can be seen from this that the Huns only fear me and have absolutely no wrongdoing."
A knowledgeable person said: "However, it is always good to prepare for a rainy day..."
The Peacock King said calmly: "As you said, it hasn't rained yet. The top priority now is to destroy the Great Qin together with our allies. As for what to do after the Great Qin is destroyed, let's talk about it later."
A knowledgeable person said: "Your Majesty, if you don't think about this issue clearly now, I'm worried that I will be defeated like a mountain. Our Peacock Kingdom will be in disaster. By then, even if you regret it, it will be too late."
The Peacock King was furious and said to the wise man: "The army has not yet set off, but you come here to shake the morale of the army. What are you doing? Could it be that you are a spy of the Qin people?"
Then, the Maurya King waved his sword and chopped off the head of the wise man.
Everyone around him was silent, and no one dared to speak anymore.
So, the Maurya King led this million-strong army to join the Huns.
While Maurya was marching, Moton and Shatilie were studying other things.
Moton said to Shatilie: "Have you discovered an interesting phenomenon?"
Shatilie asked: "What?"
Mao Dun said: "Every time I throw a bone into the tub, it will make a thud sound. When the dog hears it, it will come over and eat the bone."
Shatilie said strangely: "Isn't this normal?"
Mao Dun added: "However, a few times, I threw stones into the tub. The dog also came over. Not only did it come over, but it was also drooling."
Shatilie laughed loudly: "What a stupid dog."
Modun shook his head: "No. I have been observing for a long time, and now I have some insights. I feel that this dog may be controlled by the sound, but it needs some training."
Shatilie said: "Now that we are about to conquer the Qin Dynasty, what are you thinking about?"
Mao Dun smiled slightly: "I have nothing to do."
In fact, Mao Dun has already applied his findings in actual combat.
He invented an arrow with a whistle on it that made a whirring sound once it was shot.
Mao Dun called it Ming Dy.
After having Mingdi, he selected thousands of people as experimental subjects.
He said to these thousands of people in advance: "Wherever the Ming Dynasty goes, you must rush up and kill each other indiscriminately, otherwise, I will kill you."
These thousands of people all agreed with trepidation.
For the first time, Mingdi shot an innocent Xiongnu people.
Thousands of people rushed over and chopped the people into pieces.
Mao Dun rewarded those who rushed to the front, and then executed those soldiers who hesitated a little.
These thousands of people were immediately frightened.
Then, Mao Dun shot the arrow at his mount.
Thousands of people swarmed forward and chopped the mount into pieces.
Mao Dun followed the same method, rewarding those who rushed quickly and killing those who hesitated.
Later, when these thousands of people heard Ming Dy, they could no longer think straight. They just want to kill quickly and receive the reward after killing.
It can be said that the ringing sound is synonymous with gold and silver in their ears.
Finally, Mao Dun shot Ming Dy at his favorite.
This favorite was originally a slave of the Seleucid Kingdom. After being rescued by Mao Dun, he became loyal and highly regarded by Mao Dun. The two of them ate and lived together, and the good ones wore the same pants.
However, Mingdi shot at him.
Before the favorite could understand what was going on, he was chopped down.
Modu nodded with satisfaction.
In the past few days, whenever he had something to do, he would shoot randomly with a hammer.
Sometimes the shots hit the middle of the river, and the soldiers rushed in frantically, slashing at the water.
Mao Dun looked at the wet dead soldiers with a smile on his face: Humans are indeed the same as pigs and dogs, and they can also be domesticated.
After training the dead soldiers, Maodun secretly observed Shatilie when he had nothing to do.
When the big thing is done, he will be dealt with.
If it weren't for this guy, how could I have ended up living in Donghu, how could I have been living in Xianyang City, and how could I have become this desolate person? I should have been a Shanyu a long time ago, okay?
Share the world with you? What you think is great, why should I share my world with you?
…………
Maurya has arrived. Shatilie and Mao Dun deliberately led a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people to pick him up.
After seeing this, the Peacock King became even more arrogant.
He said to Moton: "I heard that you have been fighting with the Central Plains people for hundreds of years. Is this the kind of army you use?"
Modun said modestly: "If we had an army like your king, we would have destroyed the Qin Dynasty long ago."
The Mauryan King laughed.
Shatilie whispered to Mao Dun: "It's not too late to act first. If the Peacock King captures us and goes to ask for rewards from the Qin people, it will be bad."
Modun nodded, suddenly bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow at the Peacock King on the horse.
The Mauryan King is covered in armor. It is difficult to shoot through the armor. It is also difficult to shoot through the gaps in the armor and injure the Mauryan King.
Fortunately, Mao Dun shot Ming Dy.
Mingdi encountered the Peacock King, and then, the thousands of dead soldiers rushed up desperately and chopped the Peacock King into a pulp, including his men and horses.
The soldiers of the Peacock Kingdom were all shocked.
Then, Mao Dun waved, and someone waved a big flag vigorously.
Tens of thousands of elite Huns soldiers rushed out. A charge towards the Peacock Kingdom.
The millions of troops of the Peacock Kingdom were defeated like a mountain.
