The three hundred imperial guards had forcibly dispersed the Yuezhi people near the garrison under the arrangement of the lieutenant, leaving only a few Yuezhi girls serving, one by one, one by one, and one by one, and one by one, holding a long spear and crossbow, preventing the yurt from the yurt where Li Shun lived.

"Mr. Li, what did King Yuezhi say? Did anyone agree to hand over Maodun?" Seeing Li Shun come in, several officials accompanying the yurt asked urgently.

"There is no hurry to do this. Since we have arrived at the Yuezhi Royal Court, the most important thing is not to get Maodun, but to take the opportunity to inquire about the internal movements of the Yuezhi people. Therefore, Maodun and the others should not hand over it immediately...Puff, hurry up and make a pot of hot tea, it's so bad!"

After washing his hands and face, Li Shun sat down and took a sip of the warm horse milk handed over by the entourage. He sprayed all over the floor with one sip, and then ordered him to take out the tea leaves he brought to make water to make tea.

"Inquiring about the news about the Yuezhi people?" Several officials opened their mouths wide.

"Yes, the emperor's orders were to let the Yuezhi people hand over Maodun on the surface. In fact, this is just a strategy. Before leaving, the Hou of Qinghe specifically mentioned it to me. The main purpose of this mission to Yuezhi is to find out the situation inside the Yuezhi people, to see which tribal leaders and royal people can make friends, send some silk porcelain, tea and wine to bribe, and to secretly find out whether these people's attitude towards me, Daqin, are hostile or friendly. You have already known the orders of Your Majesty in the court. In a year, no matter what the situation in Yuezhi is in, I will use troops to the Yuezhi. If we can understand the details of the Yuezhi in advance, we can implement strategies to differentiate the Yuezhi inside, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort..."

"So that's it!" Several officials suddenly realized.

"Sir, what should we do next? We don't know any of the leaders of the tribes and royal families of the Yuezhi, nor are we familiar with them..." An official said anxiously.

"It's okay, when the Yuezhi King discusses, I will definitely invite me to the banquet and act according to the opportunity!"

"Yes, I'll follow the arrangements of all the masters!" Several officials saluted together.

In the tent of King Yuezhi.

At this time, King Zuo Ping was also explaining about Maodun to a group of tribal leaders.

"Two years ago, the ice and snow had just thawed. The Xiongnu Khan Touman sent the prince Maodun to send me Yuezhi to send me many gifts. Originally, the king and I thought this was just a move to Toutun was afraid of being caught between my Yuezhi and Donghu, so we didn't care. But then the news came that the Qin Dynasty raided the Xiongnu royal court. Touman was killed, so Maodun begged the king to stay in Yuezhi to take refuge, otherwise he would be chased by the Qin army if he returned to the Xiongnu. The king was soft-hearted and agreed to Maodun's request, but he was afraid that the Qin people would know about this, so he arranged for him to be guarded near Mingsha Mountain in the desert. The incident of Maodun's mission to send me Yuezhi was very hidden, but he didn't expect that the Qin people would notice it..."

After listening to King Zuo Ping's words, the tent was quiet, but it soon became noisy.

"King, now the Huns have been destroyed by the Qin Dynasty. Even if Maodun is the crown prince, he is now just a lonely wolf that has escaped the tribe. In order not to be hated by the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, I think it is better to hand him over to this envoy to take him away!" A leader stood up and said loudly.

"Yes, this Maodun is of no use to me, Yuezhi, why bother yourself!"

"Yes, since the Emperor of Qin already knows that Maodun is in the hands of my Yuezhi, if he doesn't hand over, he will inevitably suspect that my Yuezhi plans to support the restoration of the Xiongnu, and may arrange a large army to come and fight..."

"The soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty are like tigers and wolves. Today, the Giant Teeth Tribe was almost crippled. There are only 300 people. If the Great Qin Dynasty comes 330,300, my Yuezhi may be in trouble!"

Several tribal leaders stood up one after another, but the tribal leaders who had wanted to attack the Central Plains did not speak at this time, and their faces were extremely gloomy and ugly.

Yuezhi never fought head-on with the Qin Dynasty. Because there were Dahe and Helan Mountain (which was still belonged to the Yinshan remnants during the Qin and Han dynasties, there was no official name), Longshan (Liupan Mountain), and it was also a grassland and desert area. In the eyes of the Central Plains people, it was a barren land where barren people lived, so they basically never took the initiative to attack. Therefore, the Yuezhi people did not know the strength of the Central Plains army at all, and they had been hiding in the Hexi Corridor, a place with abundant water and grass, resting and resting. In addition, the Qilian Mountains and a large area of ​​desert grasslands in the northeast were blocked by the Xiongnu, which was also far away from the Xiongnu. Therefore, the Yuezhi people slowly conquered the Linhu and Qiangrong tribes in this area and then rose to become a huge unified tribe.

However, it was the closed environment of the Yuezhi people that caused them to be inadvertently guarded against the Central Plains and the Huns. So on the historical trend that Chen Xu remembered, Maodun, the suddenly rising Huns, fled west with their tails, and gave up a large area of ​​abundant water and grass in Hexi, which allowed the Huns to grow rapidly and began to threaten the Central Plains. It was not until Emperor Wu of Han that he completely defeated the Huns and completely retreated from the Hexi Corridor and lived in the desert behind Yanzhi Mountain (Qilian Mountain). Then, in order to give up the shameful blood feud of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Bai Deng, and beaten them to death. The Huns were beaten to tears and could only reluctantly give up against the troubles of the Central Plains, dragging the Europeans.

And today's one-sided massacre woke the Yuezhi people up instantly. Damn, it turns out that the Central Plains people are so powerful and fighting so fiercely. Compared with the fierce Daqin soldiers, the Yuezhi people are proud of their combat effectiveness is almost the same as that of a sheep.

In fact, this is because Li Shun was too small and very timid and dared not attack the Yuezhi army. If Chen Xu came to the mission to Yuezhi personally and brought five hundred young men with muskets and cannons, they would definitely fire directly and bombard them, and then shot down. It is estimated that thousands of Yuezhi people would be scared to death. In panic, the Yuezhi King gave up the royal court and escaped. After all, this kind of firearm that transcended the era for thousands of years was not something these barbarians could understand.

However, Chen Xu could not come in person. Conquering Yuezhi is not an urgent matter at the moment. Continuously promoting reforms to extend the life of Daqin is Chen Xu's most important task. Daqin is internal and external troubles. The larger the territory it occupied, the more it will cause people's livelihood in China. It needs to be taken slowly. What's more, he won't do the battle like putting his head on his belt. He is a disciple of the immortal family, a marquis of the Shuangjue, a top noble, and he doesn't need any military merits at all. His favorite thing is to drink small wine and cook delicious food. He just needs to pick up girls and patrol the fiefdom after getting up early and going to court in the morning. It is a conflict with his horoscope, let alone fighting.

"King, although Maodun is like a dog that is strayed, he is still the prince of the Huns after all. Leaving him is not useless to the future development of my Yuezhi. As long as he secretly supports him to gather the strength of his tribe and let him return to the former land of the Huns to attack the Qin Dynasty..."

"King Nantu, don't be obsessed with it. Now the Huns are no longer the same as before. Hundreds of thousands of tribes were captured by the Qin Dynasty, and the remaining ones were only tens of thousands of people, and they were all scared. Even if they support Maodun's secret development of power, it will take at least decades. He can afford it, but we can't wait. Once Maodun is not handed over, the next time they will not be messengers, but tens of thousands of Qin soldiers..."

King Nantu was interrupted by King Zuo Ping before he could finish his words.

"King, what King Zuo Ping said is reasonable. We cannot take this risk!" Several tribal leaders who did not want to be enemies with Da Qin stood up to support King Zuo Ping.

"Brother Wang, see what to do. Now Maodun is still in the desert north of the mountains. It takes at least ten days to go back and forth. If he wants to hand it over to the envoy of the Great Qin, he must send someone to escort him back!" King Zuo Ping turned his head and looked at King Yuezhi.

"Well, Brother Wang's words are reasonable. Maodun is of no use to my Yuezhi. On the contrary, it is a disaster. You arrange someone to go to Mingsha Mountain to capture him as soon as possible, and it is better to send these great Qin envoys away as soon as possible!"

The Yuezhi King nodded and made a decision.

"Yes, I will make arrangements now!" King Zuo Ping stood up.

"Also, arrange the daily life and food of the envoys of the Qin Dynasty and the soldiers, and don't hide the matter of Maodun. I will invite the envoys to the tent tonight. You all come together at that time..."

"King, what should we do if we attack the Qiang tribe?" asked a tribe leader.

"This matter can only be given up temporarily, and make other arrangements after sending away the envoys of the Qin Dynasty!" The Yuezhi King waved his hand, and a group of tribal leaders stood up and said goodbye to leave the tent. King Zuo Ping also quickly came to the yurt where Li Shun and others rested, and conveyed the arrangements of the Yuezhi King without missing a word.

"Mr. Li, what do you think of this?" After King Zuo Ping left, several officials surrounded Li Shun and began to discuss this matter.

"I think the Yuezhi King will not lie, but this is a good thing, which gives us sufficient reason and time to stay and find out the situation inside the Yuezhi people. Therefore, before Maodun was handed over to us by them, please be careful and try to contact the leaders and royal families of the Yuezhi tribe as much as possible to inquire about the situation!" Li Shun said, pulling the sparse beard on his chin.

"Yes, this is indeed an opportunity!" Several officials nodded together.
Chapter completed!
