Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 408 I am a diplomat, not a wishing machine!

As time passes, the atmosphere of autumn becomes stronger and stronger.

The second order to move the royal mausoleum was officially promulgated and spread throughout the world. However, this time the Qin Dynasty ushered in the immobility of all the nobles in the world.

People all over the world are increasingly criticizing the First Emperor, and even court officials such as Li Si, Zhao Si, etc. are not immune. The public voice is very loud.

At that time, there was an unusual movement in Lingnan. A group of southern barbarians who had surrendered suddenly rebelled and slaughtered more than 130 Qin people who were guarding the border. Zhao Tuo sent out troops to suppress it with thunderous force.

At the same time, on the banks of the East China Sea, the evil people hiding in the mountains and old forests in the ice and snow began to appear in small numbers near Liaodong County. On the seaside, there were evil people boats wandering around.

In the Bajun area, the mountain vassals also experienced varying degrees of movements, and the Rong people in Ningxia and Gansu also began to make some strange movements.

Abnormalities have occurred to varying degrees in various parts of the world, but under this situation, the local officials of Da Qin are delivering fewer and fewer documents.

Obviously, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms hidden within the Qin government began to exert their influence, and local governments also encountered varying degrees of governance crises. The first clue was the decline in the central government's ability to control local intelligence.

Black Ice Platform was forced to take on the role of local intelligence collection as a tool to maintain news communications.

At the same time, on the vast grassland, the first war is about to officially begin!

"Donghu is arrogant and even covets the Xiongnu's land at this time. It can be seen that King Donghu has determined that the Xiongnu dare not interfere with Donghu and Yueshi's southward movement. He is even more sure that the Qin Dynasty is trapped in civil strife and will no longer have the strength to move southward. .

I think this is a good time to send troops to attack Donghu. "

Inside the camp, Mao Dun pointed at the map and scolded Fang Qiu, his words were extremely inciting.

However, Li Shiqi didn't agree with him.

"The Donghu have more than 200,000 string-controllers, while the Xiongnu have less than 100,000 string-controllers. I am not good at military skills, but I know that in a battle between two armies, a greater number will win with a smaller number. Even though the Eastern Hu are arrogant, why does Chanyu think that he will be able to do so? Success?" Li Shiqi asked back.

Although Li Shiqi knew that Han Xin was ready to take the initiative, but now it was Mao Dun who took the initiative to send troops. It was also an attack, but the meaning was completely different.

The Xiongnu were defeated for the first time, and there was a huge disparity in their numbers. In Li Shiqi's eyes, Mao Dun was by no means an arrogant and short-sighted person. Mao Dun was able to take the initiative to send troops at this time. On the one hand, he stood in line to show his loyalty, and on the other hand, he also This shows that Mao Dun is already certain about sending troops to attack Donghu, whose military strength and population are twice that of the Huns, otherwise he would never speak easily.

Before departure, Han Xin had already explained the negotiation goals.

Han Xin intended to make achievements rather than defend, so the death order given to Li Shiqi was to ask Li Shiqi to persuade the Xiongnu to cooperate with the Qin Dynasty in sending troops.

But what is unexpected now is that Mao Dun actually proposed to attack Donghu. Li Shiqi saved a lot of words. The situation has changed. Now the Xiongnu is the party in need of help. Li Shiqi naturally has to figure it out and help Da Qin. Seek greater benefits.

"The envoy was joking. Although the two armies always fight with the larger number against the smaller number, there are also battles in which the weak defeat the strong.

In my opinion, as long as we can seize the opportunity and be prepared, it is not impossible to defeat the strong with the weak. "Modun smiled and waved to his soldiers to spread out the map.

"I had just succeeded to the throne, and Donghu was powerful. They asked me for my father's thousand-mile horse and my wife. I had to give it because of the decadence of the country's power. But this was not a cowardly move on my part. Your Majesty, please take a look at this picture. It's true. This is what I recorded along the way when I was sending soldiers and horses and people.”

As the party who took the initiative to expose his needs, Mao Dun knew that it would be difficult to convince Da Qin if he did not reveal something real. Therefore, in this situation, he did not bother to disguise himself and could only show his cards.

"Here is the land that King Donghu asked for from me. This land is barren and uninhabited, and it is thousands of miles wide. Because it is deserted and uninhabited, Donghu and the Xiongnu each set up Ou Tuo to guard it nearby.

Donghu was arrogant and dared to ask for land from neighboring countries when he invaded the Qin Dynasty in the south. This shows that the Huns are no longer regarded as a threat, and this place is close to the palace of Donghu. Therefore, I conclude that Donghu's Outuo must be lax in defense, while the Xiongnu's Although the knight does not live here, I often send troops to survey the terrain here. I only need to send elite soldiers and generals from here to quickly pass through here and defeat Donghu's Outuo. Then I can reach Donghu's royal court and behead him. As long as The royal court was able to defeat Donghu, not to mention that Donghu had twice the strength of the Xiongnu, but even ten times the strength of the Xiongnu. What could they do without a leader? "Modun said.

Mao Dun proposed his battle plan, which was basically the same as the battle plan in history.

They came out in full force, gathered their troops, and keenly captured King Donghu's contempt for the Xiongnu. He did not compete with Donghu in terms of numbers, captured the thieves and the king, and went straight to the royal court.

The history of this battle plan has already given the answer.

The Xiongnu attacked Donghu eastward, but Donghu had no defense and was defeated. Mao Dun destroyed King Donghu and captured Donghu's people and livestock property. As a result, Donghu split into Wuhuan and Xianbei, and paid a heavy price for despising Mao Dun.

"There is a minor disturbance in the territory of the Qin Dynasty. The general also needs to guard the border counties. He has divided his troops just to preserve the situation on the grassland and prevent the Donghu Yuezhi from taking the opportunity to annex the Xiongnu. If the Shanyu wants to do his best in one battle, I am afraid it will be difficult for the Qin Dynasty to cooperate..." Li Shiqi shook his head.

Li Shiqi cleverly manipulated the internal affairs of Qin, but now he turned to manipulate the Xiongnu.

There are various signs that Moton planned this matter for more than a day or two.

The opportunity to strike more with less, to defeat the strong with the weak, doesn't come around all the time. Li Shiqi had blocked the Xiongnu's demand, so he could raise the price.

After all, it is an obvious fact that the Huns are weak. Once a good opportunity is missed, one does not know how long it will take for the next opportunity.

When Mao Dun heard this, he took a deep breath and looked at Li Sheqi.

“I’m not good at debating, but people are easy to come by, but good timing is hard to come by. Once a good opportunity is missed, it’s even harder to get another one.

Among the grassland tribes, the Yuezhi of Donghu refused to accept the kingship. Only the Huns were willing to be the wings of the Qin Dynasty and asked the envoy to see what happened. Then the Qin Dynasty was willing to help the Xiongnu send troops to attack the Xiongnu. "

At this point, Mao Dun stopped wrangling and just started negotiating...

A smile appeared on Li Shiqi's face: "The Chan Yu said it over. It's not that Da Qin is sitting on the ground and raising prices, but that the situation in the grassland cannot be lost. For Shan Yu, the weather is rare, but for Da Qin, when the peace is settled, everything will be peaceful. From now on, you can always have your hands free to deal with the Donghu Yueshi, and using a small country to attack a big country will do more harm than good to Great Qin."

"To be honest, I have ten thousand elite soldiers, all of whom are warriors. They train day and night and never slack off. As long as Da Qin is willing to join forces with the Xiongnu, it will be easy to defeat the Donghu." Mao Dun once again revealed a trump card and chose to increase the stakes.

Li Shiqi nodded thoughtfully.

Let’s just say that Mao Dun has something hidden...

However, now that Maodun's trump cards are almost exposed, it is indeed possible to negotiate. After all, defense is just Li Shiqi's rhetoric. What Han Xin wanted from the beginning was to take the initiative to attack in order to achieve meritorious deeds.

However, one thing that needs to be noted is that Mao Dun, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, is definitely not a loyal dog of the Great Qin.

Mao Dun's hand, bearing the humiliation and bearing the heavy burden on the grassland, may be a masterstroke, a stroke of genius.

But in Li Shiqi's eyes, wouldn't he hear the story of Gou Jian lying on the firewood and tasting his courage?

"I dare not refuse Shan Yu's sincerity. I am willing to persuade the generals to join forces to attack the Xiongnu on Shan Yu's behalf!" Li Shiqi nodded and spoke.

"I also ask the envoy to hurry up. Now that the envoy from the state has killed Donghu's envoy, I can restrain my tribe to keep it secret. But as time goes by, the news will definitely spread back to Donghu. If the king of Donghu becomes jealous because of this, I am afraid that his success will be in vain. ." Mao Dun nodded.

"Three days!" Li Shiqi gestured.

"I will give my BMW to the envoy!" Mao Dun waved his hand.

Li Shiqi showed a smile. It seems that Mao Dun is really in a hurry.

However, as Mao Dun said, opportunities cannot be missed and they will never come back.

Even though Li Shiqi could continue to fiddle with conventional negotiations, as long as the two sides reached a preliminary agreement, it would be enough to have the opportunity to fight.

Having said that, Li Shiqi no longer hesitated and went straight to the Qin army camp under the escort of the knights and Xiang Yu sent by Maodun.

……

"That's what happened. I'm afraid Mao Dun has been planning for a long time to attack Donghu." Li Shiqi briefly explained the situation to Han Xin.

"A person who can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens is an outstanding person on the grassland. From this point of view, Mao Dun is definitely not someone who is willing to live under the control of the Qin Dynasty for a long time. When cooperating with the Xiongnu, he needs to be careful." Li Shiqi pondered for a moment. added.

"It doesn't matter, even if he can unify the grassland, the tribe will only have more than three million at most, and the available troops will not exceed 500,000..." Han Xin smiled and shook his head.

The grassland can only support so many people. No matter how hard Maodun can bear the humiliation, what can he do?

Han Xin has absolute self-confidence. Even if he is facing a completely unified grassland, he will have more than one way to collapse the grassland again.

"Actually, you made a mistake." Han Xin smiled and looked at Li Sheqi.

Li Shiqi was stunned for a moment.

"If it goes as expected, even if Da Qin does not send troops, Mao Dun will probably have enough confidence to attack Donghu. The reason why Mao Dun asked Da Qin to join forces is because he has no intention of betraying Da Qin in the short term." Han Xin looked at it. He spoke in a deep voice while looking at the map Li Shiqi brought back in front of him.

"With the power of the Xiongnu, how can..." Li Shiqi shook his head.

"There is nothing impossible about military matters. The reason why I invited Great Qin to join forces is just to show Great Qin." Han Xin smiled.

Mao Dun did take the initiative to expose a lot of things, but did the things he exposed pose a threat to Da Qin? Apparently not.

This is when Da Qin took the initiative to show that his fangs were not sharp enough to kill his lord.

Military affairs are difficult to say and easy to say.

As long as Da Qin can continue to maintain its advantage, no matter how hard it is to endure hardships, Mao Dun can only be Da Qin's loyal dog throughout his life.

The grasslands were weak, so the Huns' success could only be based on the laxity of the Central Plains dynasty and the contempt of their enemies.

"Here, here, here..."

Han Xin drew several locations on the map with a swipe of his pen.

It is in the land near Yuyang in Daijun that there are several bridgeheads protruding into it, like nails.

"Go and tell Modun that after the Donghu are defeated, these lands will belong to the Qin Dynasty, and the rest of the land, as long as it is occupied by the Xiongnu, will all belong to the Xiongnu."

Han Xin came here to make great achievements.

The so-called achievement is nothing more than opening up territory and expanding territory.

Before coming, Han Xin had made sufficient preparations. He had investigated which lands of Donghu and Yuezhi were worth occupying, which lands could be included in the rule of Qin, and how to place nails to cut off the Xiongnu's independence and make it possible for them to become bigger.

These lands were originally Han Xin's goals, but now they are just on the surface.

"Besides this, I would like to tell Mao Dun that in this attack on Donghu, all Xiongnu tribes must obey my command and respect me." Han Xin had a matter-of-fact expression on his face.

"This... I'm afraid the Huns may not agree." Li Shiqi frowned.

He is a diplomat, not a wish machine.

With one stroke of his pen, Han Xin almost finished drawing the fertile land of Donghu near Daqin. Not only that, he also specially circled a few pieces of land that were obviously used to target the Xiongnu. This intention was a bit too much.

He also asked to be the commander-in-chief of the campaign and to command and dispatch the Xiongnu army...

The Xiongnu sent out men and forces, but they still had to listen to your command. Aren't they worried that after conquering the land that Qin wanted, they would just destroy it?

The idea was good, but from Li Shiqi's point of view it was a bit unrealistic.

He is negotiating! negotiation!

Li Shiqi glanced at Han Xin helplessly. No wonder Han Xin was not popular among Zhao Si's followers.

Not to mention other people, even Li Shiqi, who communicated with Han Xin the most, sometimes couldn't stand Han Xin's character.

A little too arrogant...

Han Xin always carries a kind of inexplicable arrogance in which everything in the world should be the same as what I ask for, and he has no restraint.

"Modun disagrees. You just tell him one sentence. Whether it succeeds or not depends on him. You just need to convey it." Han Xin said.

"Speaking of it..." Li Shiqi sighed.

"He comes to lead the troops and can attack Donghu. I have come to lead the troops and can attack Donghu and Yuezhi." Han Xin said proudly.

Han Xin finally got this opportunity, and what is visible to the naked eye is that this world turmoil is likely to be the last for a long time in the future.

How can a mere Donghu be enough?

Not enough, absolutely not enough, not only for Donghu, but also for Yuezhi.

Only in this way can he complete the triple jump of identity in one battle, jump into the top ranks of the Qin military, and even enter the sight of the First Emperor.

Mao Dun was confident of defeating Dong Hu, but that was the limit. He could not even defend against Yuezhi, who would also take the opportunity to carve up Dong Hu.

And if Han Xin is allowed to have the power of command and dispatch, then the upper limit will never be more than this.

Although the soldiers and horses are not his own, it will be difficult to command them, but for Han Xin, as long as they are human beings, he has a way to make them play their role.
