"call..."
After receiving Xu Shu's confirmation, Liu Zhang let out a sigh of relief.
It’s not a matter of pleasure, but once this matter is confirmed, we can continue to discuss it on this basis.
Soon, he looked at Xun You.
"Gongda, what do you think?"
Xun You stroked his beard lightly and did not answer immediately.
Even he can't just talk nonsense.
Time is of the essence right now.
Every wrong step may lead to losing your only chance!
After a while.
"King Qin, there are too few things that can be analyzed at the moment, and I am unable to make a clear judgment."
"However, the sudden disappearance of the Huns' corpses is too abnormal. It should be one of the few directions we can investigate at the moment."
"Secondly, send more manpower to Dayang to conduct a detailed search. If possible, we should even target the entire Hedong County!"
This proposal is no different from finding a needle in a haystack, which is the stupidest and most time-consuming method.
However, it is also the only feasible way at the moment.
Liu Zhang frowned.
"How many people are needed?"
"King Qin, Hedong County is deserted. Naturally, the more people searching, the better..."
"impossible!"
Liu Zhang directly rejected the proposal without even thinking about it.
Hedong County is too sensitive. A large-scale increase in troops will inevitably cause turmoil.
The first to bear the brunt were Sili and Bingzhou of Cao Wei.
It's the time of the martial arts tournament now, how can this kind of problem be caused?
Xun You pursed his lips and did not refute.
As a mastermind, how could he not know this truth?
Saying this is also a test of Sun Jie's status.
The answer was also obtained, at least not to the point of horror.
At this time, Jia Xu spoke.
"King Qin, although the people of Hedong County have been moved to Guanzhong, there must still be people living in the county."
"We can temporarily send a thousand people to Hedong to assist in the search, and on the other hand go to the cities near Dayang to search for the people."
"Thousands of people..."
Liu Zhang rested his chin, his eyes flashing with thought.
Even with this number, one needs to be cautious.
Sending soldiers is like throwing stones into calm water.
The more people there are, the bigger the stones will be, and the bigger the splashes will be, and the bigger the waves will be!
Finally, Liu Zhang nodded in agreement.
"Okay, just send a thousand people."
Liu Zhang had just made his decision when he saw Xu Shu hesitate to speak.
Asked quickly.
"Yuan Nao, what's wrong?"
As a top wise man, Liu Zhang was willing to listen to everyone's opinions.
"King Qin, since you suspect the Xiongnu, why don't you send an envoy there?"
"After the lesson learned last time, do the southern Xiongnu still dare to disobey the King of Qin?"
It turns out that Xu Shu was thinking about this.
Liu Zhang shook his head in disappointment.
Xun You on the side quickly opened his mouth to explain.
"Yuanzhi, since the last battle, the Southern Huns have completely broken with us. Both sides regard the other as a life-or-death enemy."
"Before, it was the Hedong Wei family, that is, the Jingzhao Yin Wei family had a close relationship with the Southern Xiongnu."
"But since the Hedong Wei family moved into Guanzhong, and the Hedong War, the contact with the southern Xiongnu has been completely severed, and even mutual trading has stopped."
Xu Shu didn't suddenly realize it because of the explanation, but instead frowned even more tightly.
"So, we don't know anything about the current situation of the Southern Huns?"
Xun You was a little embarrassed, but still nodded.
"That's right. Our national policy is not to launch a war in the next few years. Besides, most of our energy is focused on Cao Wei and Jingzhou."
"After the last great defeat, the Southern Huns are already exhausted and they do not pose any threat to us..."
With two simple sentences, Xu Shu could see the root cause.
The Southern Huns were not taken seriously at all.
It’s not that I can’t pay attention to it, it’s that I’m completely too lazy to pay attention to it!
To put it nicely, it’s because relations have deteriorated. To put it bluntly, they don’t regard the Southern Huns as human beings!
"King Qin, the Art of War says that only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in a hundred battles!"
"We know nothing about the situation of the Southern Huns, and that's why now we don't even know why they collected the corpses or whether they did anything!"
"If these corpses are completely useless to the Southern Huns, is it possible that other forces want to take advantage of them to cause trouble?"
"Sun Jie and others boarded Dayang Ferry, most likely to avoid being followed. After all, they don't know who is following them and what their intentions are."
"If, what I'm saying is, if someone wants to use the corpse of the Southern Xiongnu to make a fuss, and Sun Jie and others happen to break it, then..."
Xu Shu didn't say any more, the meaning was self-evident.
If this is the case, Sun Jie can only be in bad luck. . .
"call..."
"You are careless and look down on the Southern Xiongnu too much!"
Liu Zhang once again took the blame.
This time, there is really no excuse.
After all, it was entirely his order not to put too much thought into the Southern Xiongnu.
The total number of Southern Xiongnu was just over 300,000.
After the last large-scale casualties, there is no telling whether there are 100,000 string controllers in the entire tribe!
There is really no reason to waste too much time on such a small tribe that is about to be destroyed at any time.
Moreover, the affairs of the State of Qin were too busy, and the Chancellor's Desk was overwhelmed.
Appropriate reduction of burden is also for the health of Jia Xu and others!
Xu Shu did not continue to struggle, but expressed his thoughts.
"King Qin, I think we can proceed from two aspects."
"Firstly, send more manpower to Hedong County, and secondly, learn the latest situation of the Southern Huns as quickly as possible!"
"If those bones were of no use to the Southern Huns, they would not have traveled thousands of miles to pick up some bones and bring them back."
"After all, Hedong County is deserted and there is no material for them to plunder."
Liu Zhang nodded repeatedly, full of approval.
"What Yuan Zhi said is absolutely true!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he started to have trouble again.
I haven’t considered the Southern Huns as human beings for several years. How could it be so easy to suddenly go to inquire about them?
At this moment, Jia Xu stood up.
"King Qin, if you want to understand the internal situation of the Southern Xiongnu, I have a way."
"oh?"
Liu Zhang, Xun You and Xu Shu were all shocked.
I didn’t expect Jia Xu to have such a method!
"Wen He, speak quickly!"
"King Qin, Zhang Song, the governor of Beidi County!"
"Zhang Song?"
Jia Xu nodded.
"To report to the King of Qin, when Zhang Song first took office, he reported on the situation of the Southern Huns, but they were all insignificant matters."
"Later, we sent troops to Jingzhou and the Western Regions one after another. King Qin ordered us not to take care of the southern Xiongnu for the time being, so I conveyed King Qin's order to Zhang Song."
"Since then, I have not received any more information from Beidi County reporting to the Southern Huns."
