Sun Xiaomei thought for a long time and finally made up her mind.
"King Qin, I... I was captured by the Xiongnu. No one knows about this, right?"
Liu Zhang nodded.
"Yes, apart from Gu's important ministers and the soldiers participating in the Northern Expedition, no one even knows about Gu's expedition against the Huns."
When Sun Xiaomei heard this, she was completely relieved.
"Prince Qin, please let me remain anonymous and stay in Chang'an."
"From today on, Sun Jie is dead. The only one alive is Sun Shangxiang!"
It turns out that Sun Xiaomei planned to fake her death and hide it from everyone.
There is really nothing wrong with this method.
After all, it was Lu Meng and others who saw it with their own eyes as they left by boat on the Yellow River.
After entering the Yellow River, it did not belong to the territory of Qin. Even if Sun Xiaomei disappeared, Sun Quan could not blame Liu Zhang.
Who told them not to follow the path of Qin's country, but to choose the far side instead of the near?
However, from now on, Sun Xiaomei could never return to Jiangdong.
Only when Liu Zhang is equal to Jiangdong can we meet our relatives!
I don't know how many years it has been since I waited. . .
"Xiangxiang, your relatives in Jiangdong..."
Liu Zhang did not agree immediately because of his own selfishness.
At least she didn't want to see Sun Xiaomei sad when she missed her hometown in the future.
Sun Xiaomei shook her head gently.
"Prince Qin, the only thing I can't worry about is my mother."
"However, my second brother is a filial man and will definitely make my mother have enough food and clothing. I...have nothing to worry about."
"Xiangxiang, I still have to remind you. This decision may prevent you from returning to Jiangdong for a long time."
"Perhaps years, even decades..."
After hearing this, Sun Xiaomei was obviously a little depressed.
A few years would be fine, but if it had been decades, I might not be able to see my mother for the last time!
However, when she thought of the Jiangdong family and the tragic death of her father and brother, Sun Xiaomei still made a resolute choice.
"King Qin, I want to stay in Chang'an. From now on, I will start a new life!"
After finally breaking free from hatred, Sun Xiaomei is determined to say goodbye to the past completely.
He could not let himself down, let alone Liu Zhang.
"Okay, Gu supports you! Don't worry, everything has Gu!"
After negotiating Sun Xiaomei's stay, Liu Zhang immediately decided to send Sun Xiaomei to Beidi County temporarily.
There are still many problems with the Huns that need to be dealt with, and it will take a long time.
Sun Xiaomei had been held captive for so long, and suffered varying degrees of mental and physical damage.
Resting peacefully is the most important thing.
Sun Xiaomei had no objection to this.
Since he decided to follow Liu Zhang, he had the consciousness of following Liu Zhang.
Fa Zheng took the initiative to take over the escort mission and gathered all the Northern Army heavy cavalry he carried with him.
The number is as high as five hundred people!
These five hundred people are enough to defeat an infantry of ten thousand people when placed on the battlefield!
Now, Sun Xiaomei was escorted by Fazheng.
It shows the degree of attention.
Fa Zheng even issued death orders to his soldiers.
If anything happens to Miss Sun, everyone will come to see her!
Among the five hundred people, one Thousand People General will serve as the commander, and he swore to make a guarantee.
At the same time, Wei Jian also went to Beidi County as a companion.
Regarding Sun Xiaomei's need to hide her identity, Liu Zhang told Wei Jian everything.
Wei Qian's ability is enough to make this matter seamless.
In Liu Zhang's reluctant eyes, Sun Xiaomei embarked on her way home.
"King Qin, if everything goes well, we can return to Beidi County in a day or two!"
Fazheng saw the reluctance in Liu Zhang's eyes and immediately offered words of comfort.
Liu Zhang shook his head slightly.
"Xiaozhi, the Xiongnu have been destroyed, but we haven't collected the benefits of destroying the Xiongnu yet!"
Fazheng didn't understand what Liu Zhang meant for a while, so he couldn't help but ask.
"King Qin is talking about the more than 300,000 Han people who were enslaved by the Xiongnu?"
Liu Zhang smiled, shook his head, and pointed at his feet.
"Here, the entire Hetao Plain!"
"this?"
"Have you ever heard of Xiaozhi's saying that the Yellow River is full of evils, but only the rich are rich! That's what it means here!"
"this..."
Fazheng knew this rhetoric, but he did not understand what Liu Zhang meant.
It is true that the Hetao is rich, but it also has a very sharp relativity.
Wealth refers to abundant water and land resources.
What does abundant water and land resources mean? It is suitable for herding sheep and horses.
In other words, it is very suitable for nomads.
This is also the main reason why the Southern Xiongnu were barely able to survive at first, but later became able to compete with the Han Dynasty.
Without the natural water and soil resources of the Hetao, the Southern Huns might have perished long ago.
However, the Southern Xiongnu were uniquely blessed, but the Qin State was not so surprised.
The reason is also very simple, Qin is not a nomadic nation!
Moreover, the Hetao is uniquely endowed with abundant water resources, which also means that it is not suitable for building a city.
How to defend such a vast area without a city?
Compared with the enemy who uses Beidi County as the border to defend the state, the Hetao garrison has to waste at least several times more energy!
Furthermore, Qin has no plans to launch a war against Wei in the next few years or even ten years.
Spending energy on the Loop is really a waste.
After thinking for a moment, Fazheng decided to speak directly to Liu Zhang.
"King Qin, although the Hetao area is good, it is not suitable for us."
"Although this location is uniquely located and connects several counties in Bingzhou, it is also vulnerable to attacks by Bingzhou troops."
"If we station troops here, I'm afraid Cao Cao will have trouble sleeping at night!"
Liu Zhang smiled and did not blame Fa Zheng.
He had also heard these words from Xu Shu's mouth.
"Xiaozhi, Gu understands what you mean, but Gu also has Gu's considerations!"
"Our alliance with Cao Cao is based on the simultaneous existence of Liu Bei and Sun Quan. In the next few years, once we destroy Liu Bei, the world will be divided into three parts!"
"The four-party tripod can be combined in pairs or together, but the three-legged tripod will inevitably lead to a two-on-one situation."
"Normally, it's the weak who unite against the strong."
"Who does Xiaozhi think is stronger, Gu or Cao Cao?"
"Of course King Qin is stronger!"
Fazheng blurted out without thinking.
Not arrogantly, but with good reason.
After Liu Bei is eliminated in the future, Qin will increase the land and population of at least five to six counties.
And Cao Cao, who suffered a heavy defeat in Jingzhou, would never be able to regain his strength in a short period of time.
Not to mention that compared with the Qin State, even the family problems within the territory may not be completely solved.
Therefore, after occupying Jingzhou, Qin will immediately become the undisputed number one in the world!
"The King of Qin, among his ministers, after destroying Liu Bei, you can go down the river and destroy Jiangdong in one go!"
"At that time, our Qin State's forces will form an encirclement and pincer attack on Cao Cao!"
"In this way, the world of equality is within easy reach!"
