The millions of troops abandoned their armor and had already stunned Moton and Shatilie.
In their imagination, they suddenly killed the Maurya King and then sent out cavalry to attack. The other side will panic and collapse.
But it was just a huge defeat.
But now...the other party is like a flock of sheep, completely in chaos.
Now Shatilie and Moton's men were chasing them to kill. These more than one million well-equipped Peacock soldiers were ignoring their heads and tail, allowing the 10,000 Huns soldiers behind them to slash and kill them with their swords.
Killed batch after batch, killed batch after batch.
The Xiongnu soldiers' swords were all curled and they never encountered resistance.
Shatilie said with some confusion: "This...isn't this a fake defeat? Is there an ambush ahead?"
Mao Dun was also a little worried: "This is possible, so we have to guard against it."
However...the Peacock soldiers fled too fast, and the Huns soldiers chased them too fast.
Soon, they entered the Maurya Kingdom, and the cities along the way looked like windfalls.
Ten days later, Shatilik and the Huns had entered the capital.
The two of them stood in the palace of the Peacock Kingdom, looking around, feeling a bit like they were dreaming.
"Have we...we already occupied the Peacock Kingdom?" Shatilie looked at Moton.
Modun nodded and said hesitantly: "Yeah..."
Shatilie said with emotion: "Isn't this too easy?"
Mao Dun said: "It's a bit easy. However, the capital city has been occupied by us. This shouldn't be a feigned defeat, right?"
At this time, the ministers of the Huns all knelt on the ground, walked forward on their knees, and said to Shatilie and Maodun with pious faces: "My king is so wise."
Someone said: "I didn't expect that the Peacock Kingdom, which looks so huge, is so vulnerable. My king knows things like a god, which is admirable."
Someone else said: "It turns out that the Peacock Kingdom is so prosperous. My king led us here. He was really far-sighted."
Modun nodded with satisfaction and thought: Am I so wise? Ha ha.
After Modu and Shatilie occupied the Maurya Kingdom, they immediately ordered people to organize their armaments.
All the soldiers who surrendered from the Peacock Kingdom were recruited, and now Moton and Shatilie had an army of one million in the blink of an eye.
At this time, they finally regained their confidence on the grassland and felt that they could compete with Great Qin.
In the past, the grasslands were a land of bitter cold. They even threatened the Central Plains and forced the countries in the Central Plains to build the Great Wall.
Now it occupies the Peacock Kingdom.
The people are numerous and the products are abundant. With such a good place, wouldn't it be easy to counterattack Da Qin?
So Shatilie and Mao Dun began to discuss how to counterattack.
Shatilie said: "Let's lead the troops and kill them directly. Anyway, these soldiers are foreigners, not us Huns."
Mao Dun said: "Otherwise, I have a better way."
Shatilie asked curiously: "What can we do?"
Mao Dun smiled and said: "Didn't Qin and the Peacock Kingdom become allies? Now we are the Peacock Kingdom. Why don't we send envoys and invite the Qin people to join us for an alliance."
"Then...we suddenly took action and beat their army to pieces."
Shatilie's eyes lit up: "Just like this time?"
Modun smiled and nodded: "Exactly."
Shatilie said excitedly: "This is a great plan. It seems that conquering the Qin Dynasty is just around the corner."
The two brothers immediately started laughing.
…………
Xianyang City.
Li Shui was reading the newspaper leisurely.
Li Xin lost his temper and said to Li Shui: "Brother Huai, we should set out to attack the Huns."
Li Shui said: "What are you busy with? The Huns are treacherous, killing their fathers and marrying their mothers. They are just beasts. These barbarians will have their own way to deal with them."
"Brother Li, believe me. In a matter of seconds, the Xiongnu Kingdom will surely destroy itself, and there is no need for us to go on an expedition."
Li Xin said helplessly: "Brother Huai, why do you believe this? It's so mysterious and so mysterious, it's nonsense."
Li Shui said with a smile: "Brother Li, don't forget, I am an immortal. Is it difficult for an immortal to predict the future?"
Li Xin suddenly stretched out his hand and asked Li Shui: "If you are serious about predicting the future, tell me which hand has the copper coins in it."
Li Shui pointed to his right hand.
Li Xin opened his hands as if he had seen a ghost, and there was indeed a copper coin inside.
Li Shui smiled proudly: "Cheng Rang."
In fact, Li Shui just guessed randomly. Moreover, Li Xin is right-handed, so he will most likely hide the copper coins in his right hand.
After such a test, it turned out to be right.
In fact, it didn't matter even if he was wrong. Li Shui didn't care about face anyway, so he just laughed twice and it was over.
At this time, a craftsman hurried in and said to Li Shui: "Report, banish the immortal, there is news from the Western Regions."
Li Shui asked: "What's the news?"
The soldier said: "Our people found out that a raging fire suddenly broke out in the Xiongnu Kingdom, and all the houses, farmland, and woods were burned down."
"All men, women, and children from the Xiongnu Kingdom are heading towards the Peacock Kingdom."
Li Xin said: "Did they go to form an alliance with the Peacock Kingdom?"
Li Shui said confidently: "Brother Li, don't worry. Even if they had the intention of forming an alliance before, they must not have it now. Matt has returned to the Peacock Kingdom. Now that the two Shatilie brothers hate the Peacock King to their bones, how can they still be with him?" What about forming an alliance?”
Li Xin said: "If they don't want to form an alliance, why are they taking so many people to the Peacock Kingdom now?"
Li Shui said: "Maybe... it's a war?"
Li Xin said: "No matter what, we should send troops to the battlefield. If we delay the opportunity and lead to a major defeat, the consequences will be disastrous."
Li Shui thought for a while and said, "That's it, let's set off."
On the day Li Shui and Li Xin set out, all the civil and military officials in Xianyang City came to see them off.
It's just that the team seeing them off did not say goodbye, but seemed a little impatient.
Unexpectedly...the powerful and powerful people have been suffering from Huai Li for a long time.
Now that these two guys are gone, the powerful and powerful can finally breathe free air for a few days.
On this day, many people went to Shangjun Courtyard to buy firecrackers and set them off at home.
Xianyang City today feels quite like a festival.
…………
Li Shui and Li Xin have already left the customs and are marching towards the Peacock Kingdom.
Suddenly, a soldier came to report that a spy from the Peacock Kingdom had been caught.
Li Shui casually ordered the spies to be brought up.
After the spy saw Li Shui, he kept shouting: "General, general, a villain is not a craftsman, but a messenger."
This spy's Qin language is quite good. Although he has a slight accent, he is still fairly fluent.
Li Shui asked curiously: "Whose messenger are you?"
The messenger said: "The villain is the messenger of the Peacock King."
Li Shui snorted and asked, "What's your name?"
The messenger was a little puzzled and thought: He asked me what my name was and what I was doing? Shouldn't I ask why Maurya sent me?
However, the messenger answered honestly: "The villain's name is Shaluo."
Li Shui snorted and asked, "Are you a monk?"
Shaluo said respectfully: "No, but the villain has no prejudice against monks."
Li Shui asked a lot of questions without any pain or itch.
Finally, Shaluo lost his composure and took the initiative to say: "Sir, the Mauryan King ordered me to deliver a letter."
Li Shui snorted and asked calmly: "What kind of letter is it?"
Shaluo presented the letter.
Li Shui looked at it for a while, with a smile on his face.
He said to Shaluo: "This general already knows, you go down and rest."
Shaluo responded and went down.
Li Xin asked curiously: "What did the letter say?"
Li Shui said: "Brother Li, you will know just by looking at it."
Li Xin took it and looked at it. The letter was written in Qin dialect, but the handwriting of the writer was crooked and embarrassing, like a child who had just learned to write.
Moreover, this person's grammar is poor and his sentences are confusing.
But... I barely understood it after reading it for a while.
The letter stated that he hoped that Da Qin would send troops as soon as possible and, in accordance with the original agreement, make peace with the Peacock Kingdom to form an alliance to attack the Xiongnu Kingdom together.
After Li Xin read the letter, he looked confused: "What nonsense is this? Why do you suddenly want to form an alliance with us?"
Li Shui said with a smile: "It seems that the previous countermeasures have worked."
Li Xin scratched his head: "Let me figure it out. The previous counterintuitive plot successfully convinced the Huns that we had formed an alliance with the Peacock Kingdom."
"But even so, why does the Peacock Kingdom come to ally with us? Want to make a lie come true?"
Li Shui shook his head: "I think it's probably the second possibility."
Li Xin asked: "What is it?"
Li Shui said: "After the Huns heard that the Peacock Kingdom had formed an alliance with us, they were extremely angry and wanted to teach their allies a lesson."
"So the Xiongnu Kingdom came out in full force, burned their own houses and farmland, and went straight to the Peacock Kingdom."
"Then they destroyed the Maurya Kingdom. After destroying the Maurya Kingdom, they tried to use their tricks to pretend to be the Maurya Kingdom and deceive us in the name of allies. Then they used surprise to defeat us."
Li Xin pondered for a while, and then said quietly: "These things of yours suddenly sound reasonable, but there is a huge loophole."
Li Shui smiled and said, "I would like to hear the details."
Li Xin said: "The Peacock Kingdom has a vast territory and millions of soldiers. The Xiongnu Kingdom only has more than 10,000 people. How can it be possible to destroy the Peacock Kingdom in a short period of time? Isn't this too unreasonable?"
Li Shui coughed dryly: "Maybe... Sha Tilie and Mo Dun really did it? These two are rare talents."
Li Xin asked Li Shui: "What are you going to do?"
Li Shui said: "Maybe the opposite side is really the Peacock Kingdom, or maybe the opposite side is the Peacock Kingdom pretending to be the Huns. No matter what the situation is, they are our enemies anyway, so we can dispatch our troops and attack them."
Li Xin nodded in agreement.
So Li Shui wrote a reply to the so-called Peacock Kingdom, praising the Peacock Kingdom in his heart and emphasizing the friendship between the two parties, as if the Qin Dynasty and the Peacock Kingdom had been friendly and intermarried for generations.
Then Li Shui gave the reply to the messenger.
I tried to go back and resume my life happily.
As for Li Xin and Li Shui, they led their troops and rushed to the meeting place.
Li Shui and Li Xin brought few troops from Xianyang, and when passing through the Western Regions, they mobilized a group of defenders. However, even so, it was only barely enough for 100,000 people.
One hundred thousand people was still a bit small for the Maurya Kingdom's army of one million.
Therefore, Li Xin was a little nervous along the way.
He constantly adjusted his combat deployment and worked with his generals to figure out where there could be any mistakes.
When they were hundreds of miles away from the alliance location, Li Xin sent out several surprise troops to ambush around them.
At the same time, Shatilie and Moton also arrived with people.
Logically speaking, they should have arrived long ago. But in the past few days, Shatilie and Mao Dun were both sick, so some formation was delayed.
In fact, it is not only them who are sick, but also everyone who comes to the Peacock Kingdom from other places.
Vomiting and diarrhea, high fever persists.
At first, they thought they were cursed as invaders.
But then they discovered that the problem wasn't the curse, but the diet.
Their meals are cooked with Ganges water. In the Ganges water, some people wash clothes, some take baths, and some bury the dead...
After knowing the truth, Shatilie almost shed tears: I am really lucky to be alive until now.
So he ordered all the Huns to dig wells on the spot and never drink the river water.
This measure worked a lot, at least they managed to survive in the Peacock Kingdom.
After recuperating their bodies, Mao Dun and Sha Tilie hurried to the meeting place.
Now they have millions of troops with excellent armor and weapons. It was simply overwhelming.
Therefore, they are somewhat arrogant.
Before arriving at the alliance location, they also sent out to explore the surrounding areas to see if there was any ambush.
Unfortunately, the people he sent out were from the Peacock Kingdom.
One characteristic of the people of Peacock country is that they are relatively lazy. They do everything absent-mindedly and just make ends meet.
Therefore, these scouts walked around in a circle and returned, reporting to Mao Dun: "There is no ambush."
Poor Maodun, he didn't know much about the Peacock Kingdom, so he believed it and proudly went to meet the Qin people.
On the way to meet the Qin people, Mao Dun began to play with his Ming Dy again.
He had already thought about it. After a while, he would definitely not be sloppy. When he saw the opponent's general, he would shoot him with an arrow.
Just like last time, leave them leaderless and defeat them quickly.
Modu was thinking about his countermeasures. Li Shui and Li Xin were also discussing.
Li Shui said to Li Xin: "Brother Li, we must not miss the chance of fighting in a while. As long as the opponent enters our encirclement, no matter who he is, attack immediately."
Li Xin agreed.
An hour later, the two sides met on a flat ground.
They were so far apart that they couldn't even see clearly the person opposite.
At this time, Mao Dun took out the arrow, bent his bow and nocked the arrow, hoping to shoot it to the opposite side.
Unfortunately, he didn't have time to shoot the arrow yet. There was a burst of dust flying behind the army.
Oops, there's an ambush.
