Zhang Xilong stood in front of the tent with a slightly gloomy expression. He was not such a gloomy person, but he had no choice now.
Things had pushed him to this point, and the superiors behind him wanted him to come to the wolf tent on the grassland to find the Huns Khan.
But what if I don’t come?
The whole family was under the control of the superior's thoughts. It was only because he was not prepared at first and took the wrong path for a moment.
Thinking like this, Zhang Xilong straightened his clothes, and then slowly walked into the wolf tent of the Huns Khan.
Touman Khan sat on the stool at the front. The stool was originally used by the Huns. In recent years, some merchants also introduced this thing to the Huns.
The chairs were covered with layers of tiger and wolf skins, which looked very intimidating.
There were Huns sitting around them. All the Huns looked at Zhang Xilong the moment he came in. Their expressions were gloomy, like wolves that are not full of meat and eat people when they are hungry.
Zhang Xilong forced himself to remain calm and just walked forward.
"Zhang Xilong, the envoy of the Qin Dynasty, met the Xiongnu Khan."
When Touman heard Zhang Xilong's self-identification, he had a playful and mocking smile on his lips: "An envoy of the Qin Dynasty?"
"Now Qin's army is stationed a hundred miles away. Tell me, you are Qin's envoy?"
He burst out laughing: "Hahahahahahahaha."
"We Huns are not from the Central Plains. There is no rule against killing envoys. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
When Touman said this, his eyes were full of ferocity and malice. He really had murderous intent in his body. He really wanted to kill someone, and he really knew how to kill someone!
Zhang Xilong stood there, with countless words already appearing in his mind.
Dang even opened his mouth and said: "Great Khan, the Qin army stationed on the border has nothing to do with us."
He smiled and said: "Don't the Great Khans want to stop worrying about food problems in winter?"
Touman sat there, looking a little suspicious: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Xilong stood up straight and said: "The orders I follow are not the orders of the First Emperor of Qin, but the orders of another person."
"Dongan Lord of the Great Qin Dynasty, your Majesty's biological uncle, the second Zongzheng of the current clan government of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the leader of the tens of thousands of troops of the Great Qin Dynasty."
"Those who have the blood of the Ying Zhao family are the rightful and true masters of Da Qin."
Zhang Xilong calmly looked at Touman, who had already sat down, and even had a somewhat clear expression on his face, and said, "And the purpose of my visit this time is also very simple."
"We want to work with the Khan."
cooperate?
Touman sat there with a gloomy expression. He was actually unwilling to cooperate with the Central Plains people.
After all, most people in the Central Plains are cunning and cunning people. Can the words of such people really be trusted?
But if you don’t believe it, what if it’s true?
Wouldn't that be a missed opportunity?
He looked at the people sitting below and said, "What do you think?"
Har Gao stood up directly and said with excitement: "Father, this matter is absolutely not allowed!"
"According to the people of the Central Plains, we and Great Qin are already feuding."
"Can this kind of conflict be alleviated?"
"What's more, the people of Qin are mostly cunning people. When we first traded with them and the people of Chu, they deceived them many times."
"The people of Chu and Qin still have a marriage relationship, and most of their queens are from Chu. Even so, they can betray their trust many times and play tricks on the king of Chu."
"How can we work with someone like this?"
After hearing this, Zhang Xilong said without any anxiety: "What the second prince said is wrong. We Qin people are indeed cunning, but that is just because Chu State has no ability."
"Now the Xiongnu are so powerful that they occupy the entire north."
"Why should we compare it with the country that was destroyed by our Qin Dynasty? Does the second prince think that the power of the Xiongnu is far inferior to that of the Qin Dynasty?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present became even colder, and they even stared at Zhang Xilong for a moment.
Zhang Xilong stood there, with no clues on the surface, but his palms were completely covered with sweat.
At this time, Modun slowly stood up with a sharp look on his face.
"Central Plains people, don't talk about these people who provoke the Huns in the wolf tent, otherwise you will not end well."
His voice was dry and powerful, cold and deep, like a giant wolf staring at you in the dark, ready to come out and bite you at any time!
The corner of Zhang Xilong's mouth twitched slightly, but he just looked at Mao Dun, doubts flashed through his heart, and he immediately said: "Your Highness, I did not mean this."
He sighed and said, "It's just that I think the Huns should think about it."
"After all, our Lord's conditions are indeed very favorable."
Zhang Xilong looked at Touman. He knew that in the wolf tent at this time, except for the old wolf king, the others probably couldn't make the decision.
He immediately said loudly: "Great Khan, this is what happened."
"Our Lord is willing to unite with the Xiongnu. We will launch an attack within the Qin Dynasty and create turmoil. At that time, the Xiongnu will be able to launch turmoil in the border areas."
"If there is turmoil in the pass, Da Qin's army will definitely return to defense. At that time, the border pass will only be captured by you."
"And this is the sincerity of our Lord."
Zhang Xilong's voice was filled with sincerity: "Then, all we need is for you to cooperate with us in conquering the Central Plains and destroying most of the First Emperor's army."
"And Da Qin can trade grain with the Huns every winter, and at extremely low prices!"
Zhang Xilong looked at Touman and said, "I just don't know if the Great Khan is willing?"
Touman looked at Zhang Xilong coldly, and then said: "Every year, we have to donate an additional 100,000 shi of grain to our Xiongnu, otherwise it will not be enough."
Zhang Xilong frowned slightly, but without any hesitation: "Okay."
This is within his authority.
After Zhang Xilong left, everyone in the wolf tent looked at Touman who was sitting aside: "Great Khan, how can you defeat them?"
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
"This is obviously using us as guns!"
A smile flashed in Touman's dark eyes. He looked at everyone and said, "They will both lose, isn't it time for us to take advantage?"
"Who said we would retreat after occupying those lands?"
"There must be people from the Central Plains on the land we occupy. Let those people from the Central Plains grow food in the Central Plains for our use."
"And we can also occupy that land."
"After successive wars, Da Qin no longer has the strength to control us. The handle of the new emperor is in our hands. What does he dare to do and what can he do?"
"No matter what we do, he must cooperate with us."
There was a look of enlightenment on Har'a's face. Only then did he understand his father's plan, and his eyes showed admiration.
"As expected of my father, he is indeed smart."
"Children can't imagine this."
Mao Dun, on the lower right, looked hesitant. He felt that since the envoys of Great Qin were here, they would not fail to take this into consideration.
Is there any fraud involved?
Just seeing the triumphant looks on the faces of his father, brothers, and even many ministers in the wolf tent, he felt a little embarrassed to say it out loud.
So, Mao Dun could only sigh in his heart, and then sat there silently.

On the grassland, in a tent
After Zhang Xilong entered the tent, he sat down on the ground, sweat dripping down his handsome face.
God knows how nervous he was just now.
The pressure of the alpha wolf on the grassland was truly terrifying, almost making him shake off everything.
But now it's okay.
Zhang Xilong hugged his legs and looked at the sky in the distance. The sky here was different from that in his hometown.
The mountains and rivers in my hometown are mostly tender and comfortable, but the wind and mountains and rivers here are often as cold as knives. The sky in the distance is reflected in green by the boundless grassland.
Watching it too much makes people feel bored for no reason.

Qin
Dong'an Jun's Mansion
Ying Dian was sitting in the mansion. In front of him was a chess game that had been broken into pieces. It showed that the black piece had no chance.
"bump!"
Ying Dian hit the table violently, and his hands were stabbed with marks by the table, and blood continued to seep out of his palms.
He closed his eyes slightly: "I don't know what's going on in the north. If it's not a last resort, I really don't want to cooperate with the Huns."
There was regret in Ying Dian's expression. In fact, he was unwilling to cooperate with the Huns.
After all, it was really shameful for Ying Dian to lower his head and seek help from a barbarian.
But now, besides the Xiongnu, who else can involve the First Emperor's thoughts?
If you don't let your good nephew focus on the war in northern Xinjiang, how will his matter be solved? How do I continue to implement my plan?
Thinking like this, Ying Dian completely erased the anxiety and hesitation in his heart.
The thief of the country!
When he becomes the controller of Da Qin and becomes the emperor of Da Qin, he will be anxious about whatever he says.
For that supreme position, it’s worth it!
Lord Dong'an exhaled slowly, then looked at the white pieces on the chessboard and said with a smile: "No matter how powerful you are, can you imagine that danger will come from the north?"
...........
Zongzheng Mansion, in the courtyard
The three people are still the same, but the scene is different now.
A few days ago, when Chen Ke came here, the courtyard was covered with silver makeup, and those cold snowflakes were still falling from the sky, covering the ground.
The huge tree in the center of the courtyard is also stationed there, making it look even more vibrant.
It's like going through a reincarnation, and spring comes out of dead trees.
The wind in the courtyard is no longer the biting cold wind of the past few days, but has been replaced by a more soothing east wind.
It looks like spring is coming.
"Chen Ke has met Duke Mu of Chuan and Lord Chuan Yang."
At this time, Chen Ke smiled and looked very comfortable and peaceful, not at all similar to his aggressive appearance a few days ago.
Like it was someone else.
Duke Mu of Chuan and Lord Chuan Yang looked at each other, and then both laughed heartily: "Hahahaha, why bother to be polite? Why bother to be polite?"
"They're just two useless old men."
Duke Mu of Chuan coughed a few times, obviously choked by this smile.
While Ziying was acknowledging Duke Mu of Chuan, Lord Chuan Yang said, "Chen Fengchang is here now, how about you play a game of chess with me?"
He said with emotion: "His Majesty always wanted me to play a game of chess with you, but in the last game I had no intention of playing chess, so I voted."
"Today I have an opportunity. Can Chen Fengchang fulfill my wish?"
Chen Ke nodded slightly.
He naturally knows what Chuanyang Jun is talking about about betting and playing chess. Isn't it the incident that stirred up the turmoil in Xianyang City a few days ago?
This is a sign of goodwill and a reminder.
Of course, Chen Ke believed that Chuanyang Jun said this more because he wanted to have a real game with him.
After all, before he came, he had heard from Ying Zheng, Fusu, Hu Hai and many others that Chuan Yangjun's favorite thing was playing chess and playing chess.
He immediately sat directly opposite the chessboard in the courtyard: "Please."
Chuanyang Jun was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and sat on the other side.
After guessing the pieces, both sides got their own chess pieces. Ziying sat aside and looked at the up and down pieces on the chessboard, feeling that there was murderous intent in them.
After Chuanyang Jun finished laying a son, he said leisurely: "I say Chen Fengchang, what do you think is most important in order to consolidate the power in your hands?"
While Chen Ke was playing chess, he said without thinking: "Pawn."
"Without soldiers, even those with great power will be controlled or even overthrown by those with soldiers."
"Without soldiers and guns, there can never be a stable regime."
Chuanyang Jun placed a piece on the chessboard: "Then, Chen Fengchang."
"Do you think that if there were a large number of troops invading the northern border of Qin at this time, there would also be a rebellion in the pass at this time."
"How can Da Qin solve it?"
Chen Ke's lips curled up, but the anger in his heart was already spreading.
He knew what Chuanyang Jun said, but he was afraid that someone in the clan couldn't wait any longer, so he chose to cooperate with the Huns in Northern Xinjiang!
Chen Ke sneered: "Making trouble? Then he must have the ability and prestige!"
He said earnestly: "There are always people who think that by raising their arms and promising some benefits, people will follow them."
"But he actually doesn't know that in this case, as long as someone can afford a higher benefit than him, those people will instantly fall into the arms of this person."
"Of course, there is another scenario."
"That's when another person's charisma is so high that when he raises his voice, people from all over the world gather to respond."
Chen Ke moved the chess piece in front of him to a certain position on the chessboard, and then said: "It is no coincidence that His Majesty the First Emperor is such a person."
"Your Majesty, with the remaining heroes of the sixth generation, swept across the six countries and swallowed up the world."
"Who would be so stubborn as to rebel against His Majesty?"
"Even if he has the manpower, now that Yantie is gradually becoming an official, where will he get the weapons?"
"Taking a step back, life has been getting better for everyone these years. Who wants to enter troubled times again and become that sinner?"
ps: love you. The fever has gone away, but I have been coughing for the past two days. I don’t know why I have sequelae and am very sleepy. I can fall asleep while sitting and typing... I guess this is the only update for today. I will see if I can update twice tomorrow.
