The Southern Barbarians and the Northern Di, the Western Rong and the Eastern Yi.
Xirong has long become an integral part of the Qin Dynasty.
Dongyi has also recovered and integrated, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, no different from the Central Plains.
Southern Xinjiang is the most perfect, equivalent to the return of southern provinces and cities.
Now only Beidi is left.
Shane's mood is very complicated. On the one hand, he hates Meng Ya. In his eyes, if southern Xinjiang is still there, it can play some role. For example, in the overall situation, it can form a kind of north-south border with the northern grassland. The corresponding situation put certain constraints on Qin.
In addition to this disgust, there is also an indescribable jealousy. Why can Meng Ya be named the Marquis of Nanning? His southern border is so vast.
But he was really unwilling to let Shane be like Meng Ya.
The tribal leaders of the grasslands are also considering this issue. Some people said: "It would be great if the Central Plains could only passively defend like before, then the initiative would always be in our hands."
"Don't say such nonsense." Shane glanced at him, but he was still very clear-headed: "The current Qin country cannot be messed with."
"I'm just complaining." The man said: "Now that Emperor Qin has pacified the southern border, his eyes will definitely look towards the northern desert. We are now weak and cannot shake the Qin Empire with our own strength. ."
"Anyway, we have already declared ourselves vassals. We just have to pay tribute every year from now on." Someone else said: "Even if Emperor Qin wants to use troops against the northern border, he must find a suitable reason."
"But this is too passive." The person from before said.
At this time, the leader of the Rouran tribe stood up and said: "Today's Qin Empire has a strong military force, and the Emperor of Qin is an extremely domineering person. It is not appropriate to be disobedient. Why not take the southern border as an example and return to the throne? Emperor Qin decreed that the status of Da Chanyu would be higher than that of Meng Ya. After all, the vastness of our grassland cannot be compared with that of a corner in the south."
Hearing this, Sha En looked fiercely at leader Rouran with cold eyes: "Do you mean to let the entire Mobei grassland belong to the Qin State and let the Emperor of Qin set up counties here?"
This look made Leader Rouran lower his head and swallow secretly.
Shane continued: "If this is the case, how can I face my ancestors! How can I be worthy of the warriors of the grassland!"
Others also said: "Hurzhuo! Stop talking nonsense! Surrendering to Qin on the surface is already our biggest bottom line!"
"What about the bloody nature of your Rouran Department!"
"Don't forget, you also attacked the Central Plains back then! Now you are thinking of begging for mercy!"
In such a situation, the leader of Rouran, Hu Erzhuo, was so frightened that he hurriedly bent down and said, "It is a mistake of my subordinates to calm down my anger."
"Okay!" Shane waved his hand irritably, interrupting everyone's quarrel: "There is no need to mention this matter again! No matter what, we are still a country. We can be vassals to Qin and pay tribute to Qin, but It must not become a dependent territory of Qin."
Having said this, he took a deep breath and said: "The actions of Mengya in Southern Xinjiang have indeed had a great impact on us, but the established strategy remains unchanged. Next, we will still lower our posture towards Qin, and at the same time, tell those who enter Qin's merchants, please don't cause trouble and don't give Emperor Qin any excuses."
"Understood!" Everyone saluted in unison.
This discussion lasted for half a day. Afterwards, Shane also ordered cattle and sheep to be killed, and he treated these tribal leaders well.
However, after the banquet, his confidants found themselves in the tent and exchanged secret messages.
Said: "Great Chanyu, I have recently discovered that there are many abnormalities in the Rouran Department. This is not only in the communication with the Central Plains."
"For example, in the trade in the north, Hu Erzhuo was more active than anyone else. I also heard that he often interacted with Ruan Ming, an official of the Qin State. The two drank at the same table many times and were very close."
"For example, today, during these discussions, everyone is discussing how to deal with the Qin State, but Huerzhuo made a suggestion of surrender, which is really abnormal."
When Shane heard this, his heart trembled, and his eyes were slightly cold: "What do you mean by this?"
The confidant glanced at his face secretly and said cautiously: "I think that Hu Erzhuo's intention to be pro-Qin is obvious, so the Shanyu must be on guard."
"Hiss" Shane took a breath: "You mean, Huerzhuo is secretly communicating with Qin behind our backs?"
"This." The confidant hesitated: "It's hard for me to say, but judging from his various behaviors, it is not impossible. It is best for the Great Chanyu to give him a beating to let him know who is the real master."
"Well, this matter is indeed something to be considered, it is indeed something to be considered." Shane nodded slowly, and then asked: "Then what suggestions do you have? I can't punish Hu Erzhuo just because of his remarks today. This will not only harm Rouge. However, other tribes will also be dissatisfied."
A confidant said: "The Rouran tribe has not made any achievements in recent years, but it owns grazing land with lush water and grass. In my opinion, it is better to transfer Rouran to a remote place. This will not only give Huerzhuo a warning, but also It can also convince all the tribes.”
After hearing this, Shane thought about it for a while and then decided: "Okay, I will do as you say. In two days, I will issue an order to temporarily relocate the Rouran tribe, and its original grazing land will be handed over to Henan." and pars erectis.”
"The Great Chan is Yingming." His confidant bowed deeply.
Shane's established strategy is clear, but if Huldrow has a different idea, he will definitely be squeezed out.
Within a few days, the order was passed to the Rouran tribe, asking its tribe to abandon their existing grazing land and move to the relatively remote Osi River area.
Nowadays, the living area of the Rouran tribe can be said to be very good. When the grazing season comes, there are natural and abundant grasslands nearby. Many people are not happy if they are asked to move away.
Ke Zhen, a close subordinate, was even furious, as if he wanted to slap the table with the visitor.
However, Hu Erzhuo quickly held him down, saluted the visitor and said, "The Rouran Department will obey the instructions of the Great Chanyu."
The person who came was Shane's envoy. He glanced at Huerzhuo with his nostrils turned upward, and said without saltiness or indifference: "Huerzhuo, you should know what the Great Chanyu means. I hope your tribe will not delay for too long to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. "
"Please rest assured, envoy, we will go to the Osi River immediately." Hu Erzhuo's attitude was respectful.
"That's good." After the visitor finished speaking, he left the place without stopping.
After he left, Kezhen said angrily: "Chief! Why didn't you let me argue with him just now!"
"What's the use? That's the Great Chanyu's order! We can only execute it." Hu Erzhuo said.
"But, why would the Great Chanyu do this to us!"
Hu Erzhuo sighed: "It seems that I said something I shouldn't have said during the meeting, which made the Great Chanyu unhappy." (End of Chapter)
