Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 265, Gongyang Linghe Zhihuan

Looking at Zuo Xianwang's appearance, Gongyang Ling said with a smile
"I am the majestic King Zuo Xian of the Huns, but am I still afraid of me, an old man who has no strength to restrain a chicken?"

Hearing Gongyang Ling's words, Zuo Xianwang showed a touch of shame on his face, but quickly suppressed it.This scene was naturally seen by Touman, and countless lights flashed in his eyes. For the first time, he felt the meaning of the Central Plains people's words and swords.At the beginning when he threatened Zuo Xianwang with a knife, Zuo Xianwang didn't change his expression. Now Gongyang Ling just made Zuo Xianwang feel scared and ashamed with just a few eyes and a few words. Touman had an idea that he had never seen before, and he wanted to learn from Zhongyuan, whom he had always looked down upon.

But this idea only appeared for a moment, and he was denied by himself. Learning from the weak Central Plains people in the Central Plains, this is not what he, the leader of the wolf clan, and the great Shanyu of the Huns should have. He only needs to use the Ram Token well.

"Of course this king is not afraid. Just now, Da Shanyu asked Prime Minister Gongyang to explain why he robbed Shangdang County. What are you waiting for?" Zuo Xianwang sat down again and said.

"King Zuo Xian also knows that Shangdang County is the key place for the confrontation between Qin State and Zhao State, so you should know that the main army of Qin Army is on the border with Zhao State, and it is very empty to deal with us. It seems to be strictly guarded, but in fact I have sent people to investigate, and the army inside is actually empty.

Unlike Beidi County who has played against us all year round, he has rich experience.Shangdang County is seldom invaded, and the person who sits in Shangdang is still a young man with inexperience, who will attack suddenly.Moreover, Shangdang County is the military bridgehead of the Qin State, with sufficient grain, cattle and sheep, and the heavy snow in winter makes the people of the Central Plains think that we cannot go south. If we don’t go south at this time, when will we go south?

Or is Zuo Xianwang not occupying the best pastures, forgetting the ability to fight on horseback?If so, Da Shanyu would not mind sharing this pasture with other tribes. " Gongyang Ling looked at Zuo Xianwang and said.

King Zuo Xian blushed from being asked a series of questions by Gong Yangling, but he couldn't refute at all. He had no choice but to slam the scimitar at his waist on the table without saying a word. Those who supported King Zuo Xian also lowered their heads when they saw this scene.

Seeing this scene, Touman could no longer hold back the smile on his face, and came out and said

"The prime minister said that Alut is the wise king of the Huns, and even my younger brother. How could he forget the bravery of our Huns? It must be because of drinking too much."

Gongyang Ling also returned to his seat and stopped talking. Looking at the frightened tribal leaders below, Touman put away his smile, looked at his eyes and said fiercely.
"Ben Chanyu has decided to lead the army to the south to plunder Shangdang as the last plunder before entering the cold winter, so that I, the Huns, can have a warm winter. Which one of you agrees and who opposes!?"

Swept by Touman's fierce eyes, these tribal leaders lowered their heads one by one. At this time, they suddenly discovered that although Touman's prestige was damaged due to the Battle of Yanmen Pass, he was still the great chanyu of the Huns, holding the most elite guards of the Huns in his hands. The tribe has a population of more than 40. It is the largest tribe in the entire Huns and the most powerful tribe.

Looking at the tribal leaders who lowered their heads and said nothing, Touman showed a satisfied smile and said
"Very good, it seems that there is no objection, Arut, don't you Zuoxian Wang participate?"

Touman looked at Zuo Xianwang Arut, and Zuo Xianwang met Touman's gaze. Although he rejected Touman's arrogant attitude in his heart, he still gritted his teeth and said

"I would like to obey the order of the Great Shanyu, King Zuoxian is unwilling to follow the Great Shanyu to plunder southward at any time."

"Very good, you are worthy of being called my good brother. If so, the leaders of the tribes should go back and mobilize their manpower. In five days, Ben Shanyu will see an army of no less than [-] gathering outside the Shangdang. This time, the speed must be fast, so fast that the Qin State can't react!" Touman pulled out the long sword at his waist and cut off the corner of the table and said.

"I would like to obey the order of the Great Chanyu!" The tribal leaders knelt down and said.

"Go and prepare." Touman waved his hand and said.

After the tribal leaders finished walking, Touman looked at Gongyang Ling with a smile.

"Thank you Prime Minister for helping me. These unfamiliar wolf cubs couldn't help but want to bite a piece of flesh from my body when they saw Ben Shanyu's failure. They completely forgot who stood up when the Donghu people attacked the Xiongnu and led them to beat the Donghu people away." Touman said coldly.

"The rule of the tribe is like this. Da Shanyu doesn't have to worry. As long as we can gather the entire Xiongnu and build the Xiongnu into a country, Da Shanyu will be the sole leader of this country, and there will be no such worries. Once the entire grassland becomes a country, it will be the most powerful country in the world. At that time, the entire Central Plains, even the Chu Kingdom in the south, will surrender at the feet of Da Shanyu." Gongyang Ling said.

Hearing Gongyang Ling's words, Touman couldn't help feeling a little lost, and asked
"Prime Minister, can the Huns really become a country?"

"Isn't the Great Chanyu trying to unify the Huns now? How about the Huns royal court back then? They said they obeyed the command of the Grand Chanyu, but apart from the wolf clan headquarters, the other three tribes still did not obey the Grand Chanyu's orders, and even wanted some chaos? But now? The three tribes have merged into the wolf clan, and the entire Huns royal court, the order of the Da Shanyu, is the entire royal court to obey." Gongyang Ling said.

Touman thought of the changes in the royal court of the Huns, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Whatever the prime minister wants to do, just do it. If anyone dares to disobey the prime minister's order, Ben Chanyu will kill him himself." Touman said.

"I hope that the leaders of the Xiongnu and the various kings will promote the culture and costumes of the Central Plains, let them indulge in pleasure, abandon their control over the tribe, and then let their tribe see how they enjoy themselves and how they suffer. It will definitely cause military chaos. Taking this opportunity, Da Shanyu can use the name of calming the military chaos to incorporate these tribes." Gongyang Ling said.

Hearing Gongyang Ling's words, Touman felt a little headache. He could still use some tricks in the war, but he didn't understand this kind of thing at all, so he could only wave his hands and say

"I believe in the prime minister, just do it, as long as the prime minister helps me unify the Xiongnu and even the entire grassland, I will definitely avenge the prime minister!"

The reason why Touman believed in Gongyangling so much was because of the hatred that Gongyangling carried. Gongyangling was well-read in poetry and books. Such a person should be highly respected in the Central Plains, but he appeared on the grassland and lived with a group of bastards mixed with Central Plains people and Huns. It was because he offended someone in Qi State in the Central Plains, and his whole family was killed. He brought his only son here to avoid hunting.

The taste of hatred will make people crazy, and Touman firmly believes in this, because Gongyang Ling has hatred for the Central Plains, so Touman believes in him so much.

"Thank you, Da Shanyu. I hope that I can see this day in my lifetime. I will kill the thief with my own hands, just like Wu Zixu." Gongyang Ling said.

"Ben Shanyu doesn't know who Wu Zixu is, but what Ben Shanyu promised will definitely come true for you," Touman said.

Gongyangling nodded, and Touman took off his white fox velvet cloak and put it on Gongyangling, and said with a worried face
"This white fox velvet cloak was given to me by the king of the Yuezhi Kingdom. It keeps me warm very well. The prime minister is old, so please pay attention to your health."

"Thank you for your concern, Da Shanyu. I won't die until I see that my enemy is gone." Gongyang Ling said.

Seeing the excited look in Gongyang Ling's eyes, Touman was very satisfied. He felt that this behavior of buying people's hearts from the Central Plains people was worth learning. He only needed to give them a little something, and they would feel that it was the greatest honor. This was much easier to satisfy than the tribal warriors on the grassland.

If these people were as satisfied as people from the Central Plains like Gongyangling, Touman would be able to gather the entire Xiongnu and even the entire grassland without the help of Gongyangling.

King Zuo Xian, who had left, returned to his camp. His King Zuo Xian's department was not far from the court of the Huns. He didn't need to go back and mobilize his troops, he only needed to let his subordinates go forward with his orders.

Looking at the wine glass made of gold and studded with precious stones on the table, King Zuo Xian threw it to the ground, but then his eyes were filled with distress.The curtain of the camp tent was lifted, and a man who also wore Central Plains costume and a sword stuck in his waist walked in.

"What's wrong with the king? Are you so angry?" The man picked up the wine glass and put it on the table.

"What else! Touman himself can't say that he can't speak to the king, so he asked Gong Yang to order that old man to talk to the king on his behalf. A majestic Hun Shanyu has fallen like this, and there are still some people who swear to follow him like this. The king is angry!" Zuo Xianwang patted the table and said.

The man immediately understood why King Zuo Xian was angry, it was nothing more than being humiliated.

"Please tell me, Your Majesty, why Tou Manda Chanyu summoned the leaders of the tribes this time?" the man said.

King Zuo Xian slapped the table and began to explain slowly. After speaking, he looked at the man and said

"Military division, we originally planned to let Touman sweep away the majesty of the tribes of the Xiongnu. What should we do if we let him go south and successfully plunder Shangdang County? Is this Touman really blessed by the wolf god? If he escapes for his life, he can plunder a capable man like Gongyangling."

The man was King Zuo Xian who came here specially to plunder Zhao in order to imitate Touman. His name was Zhi Huan. Zuo Xian Wang didn’t know the details of Zhi Huan, but he was quite famous and highly respected in the places he plundered.

"Touman wants to plunder Shangdang County? If it is true according to what the Gongyang Order said, Touman still has hope to plunder Shangdang County and lead the tribes of the Huns through this cold winter." Zhihuan said thoughtfully.

"Military Master, what should we do now? Are we going to waste all our previous preparations?" Zuo Xianwang said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient. It's not that there is no turning point in this matter. On the contrary, it is an opportunity. How is your Majesty's contact with other tribes?" Zhihuan asked.

"This king has reached an agreement with King Hunxie and King Xiutu. As long as this king dares to directly resist Touman, they will help us, as well as the six tribes under my command." Although King Zuoxian didn't know why Zhihuan asked this, he still answered Zhihuan's question.

"Where is King Youxian? How did King Youxian reply to the King?" Zhihuan asked.

"You Xianwang is an old man, of course he also wants to sit in the position of Da Shanyu, but this person is too timid to be the first bird. He didn't agree to us, nor refused us, and his attitude was very vague. He didn't even participate in the tribal chiefs meeting this time. His territory of Youxian King is fertile, with plenty of cattle and sheep, with a population of more than 20 people, and more knights than this king's tribe. However, this old man, Youxian King, is too timid, otherwise he and I have been fighting Touman together. How can Touman sleep?" Zuo Xianwang said.

"If that's the case, we can't count on King Youxian, and he might even be our opponent." Zhihuan said.

King Zuo Xian didn't interrupt, but waited for Zhihuan to continue.

"The entire Xiongnu participated in this southward plunder. If it fails, Touman's majesty may be completely wiped out. Did Touman Da Shanyu explain the arrangement of the march?" Zhihuan asked.

"No, he just asked the leaders of the various tribes to go back and mobilize the army, and let us stay outside Shangdang County." Zuo Xianwang said.

"This is easy. If you want to resist Shangdang County, then the nearest road must be to attack Yunzhong County. The large-scale mobilization of troops will definitely attract Yunzhong County's attention. That's why Touman asked to be quick. He hoped that he could be caught by surprise. If someone from Yunzhong County passed the information to Zhao Guo, and Zhao Guo was worried that Yunzhong County would mobilize the army, and then the Qin army in Shangdang County would find something abnormal and change accordingly. Come back to us." Zhihuan said.

"This..." Zuo Xianwang was a little hesitant, this behavior was tantamount to betraying the entire Huns, he was a little worried.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The march of 10,000+ troops will naturally attract the attention of Yunzhong County. What we did was to make the movement of the march a little more obvious. Even if we don't do it, the defenders of Yunzhong County will speculate based on the movement of the march. What we have done is nothing but foolproof." Zhihuan said.

"If I return without success, what will these tribal leaders do if they come to me for supplies for the winter?" Zuo Xianwang asked.

"Touman is the great chanyu of the Huns, so of course he did it, and the king just went to ask for it on behalf of these tribal leaders. At that time, it will be Touman who pays, and the king will gain prestige. Why not do it?" Zhihuan said.

After hesitating for a moment, Zuo Xianwang, the ambition in his heart overcame everything, nodded and said
"Leave this matter to the military division."

"Yes."
