Chapter 145: Inheritance as bait
Six years later, Liu Bang's siege on Baishan Mountain was due to Mao Dun's plan. Mao Dun sent old and weak soldiers to lure Liu Bang's 320,000 troops to rush into the mountain, and the elite soldiers who had been ambushed long ago came out from behind.
After being trapped for seven days and seven nights, Liu Bang was terrified and decided that he could not defeat the Huns with force. From then on, Chen Ping's plan of marrying a royal girl to seek peace was born.
"Senior Wei Liao, what's your advice?" Ziying asked, cupping his hands.
"What the King of Qin said is polite. The terrain of Zhai State is high and steep, which is suitable for an ambush by archers and crossbowmen. There are many dangers in rushing there." Wei Liao analyzed, "Since the King of Qin wants to fight quickly, the decisive battle site must be chosen by the State of Qin."
Wei Liao paused, looked straight at him and asked, "Does King Qin really want to give up that sword?"
"I can't bear to let him go," Ziying said bluntly, "but it is the only one that can induce Mao Dun to change the battlefield, from active to passive."
Li Xin suddenly realized, "The King is talking about the Universe Front?"
"What is that?" Xu Lianti asked. The sharpest weapons she had ever seen were the Jade Sword and the Red Sky Sword, and she had never heard of this name before.
"The swords worn by the kings of the Qin Dynasty have been passed down from generation to generation and are also symbols of the royal power of the Qin Dynasty." Ziying sighed, "When Lord Wu An committed suicide in vain, he used this sword."
As Ziying said this, he suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist. The turquoise wide-ridged copper sword suddenly appeared in front of several people. It looked simple and unpretentious but gave people a sense of heavy and majestic life, just like the old Qin people's style of life.
"The King of Qin can still attack quickly in the near future. After choosing the decisive battle site, he can use this as bait." Wei Liao planned, "Da Qin, Beihu, and Xirong are feuding, so Mao Dun can't help but get this sword."
"This sword must not fall into Mao Dun's hands. It would be better for the king to get a fake sword." Yang Chen admonished.
"Haha..." Ziying laughed out loud, "I will show up with my sword in person when the time comes. Is there any difference between a real sword and a fake sword?"
"The king is still going to act as bait himself?" Yang Chen said in surprise.
"Modun is so deceitful and ruthless. If I don't go there in person, why should he believe it is true?"
"But this is a dead end no matter how you look at it!" Yang Chen frowned and said, "The Qin Dynasty does not have enough troops. If it is surrounded by the Xiongnu, it will have no chance of survival. It is better to fight head-on."
Ziying shook his head, "There is no chance of a head-on battle. It depends on whether we can find a perfect magical place in a few days."
"In battle, the right time, the right place, and the right people are important. The right time has passed, the troops are at a disadvantage, and the geographical advantage is still unknown. How to fight this battle?" Li Xin asked anxiously, "Senior Wei Liao, don't you have any other options?!"
"It is also a way to surrender to the Xiongnu like Captain Dong." Wei Liao said calmly, "If you don't want to live in an ignoble way, you have to put yourself to death and survive. It's not that easy to easily defeat the grassland cavalry with the help of the soldiers guarding the city."
Li Xin hammered the floor, "It just so happens that Western Wei and Dai are at war again. Otherwise, if they were mobilized... it seems they wouldn't be able to defeat..."
The Western Wei Dynasty had 100,000 soldiers, but the Dai State only had 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers. The combined strength was insufficient. What’s more, since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the king of Zhou had lost the ability to mobilize the princes. There has never been a case where the princes jointly attacked the Xiongnu.
The State of Zhao has full authority to handle it.
Li Xin and Yang Chen had no idea and sat on the ground dejectedly.
"When I was in Manchester, Mao Dun was still afraid of women. I don't know how he became so afraid." Xu Lianti frowned.
Ziying felt sleepy in his heart.
woman?
Lianzhi?!
Chen Ping was able to persuade Mao Dun to negotiate peace back then because he paid a lot of money to buy Mao Dun's concubine Leng Zhi. He can do the same now, at least to disrupt Mao Dun's military morale.
"It seems that Meng Tu is about to be transferred again. Why do I always think he is unreliable?" Ziying murmured.
"Your Majesty! A Hun scout has been captured outside Dingyang City!" The sound of feeble footsteps came, and two messengers with embroidered faces escorted a man in sheepskin with his head lowered.
"A scout from the Xiongnu?" Ziying secretly smiled bitterly, "It's prudent to send a scout despite Dundu's huge advantage."
"Raise your head." Ziying stood up and said, a scout came just in time to ask about the Xiongnu's current situation.
The man still lowered his head, "%&*..."
"Madam, what does he mean?" Ziying asked.
"He said that he was not a scout, but a native of Qin, who came to follow the king in the Northern Expedition against the Huns." Xu Lianti replied softly, "Don't believe him, the king. This man can speak the Huns very well. I'm afraid he is lying."
"I didn't lie!" The man raised his head instantly, "In Xianyang, the king had a fight with me. Don't you remember it?"
Ziying looked intently and saw Xun Jin's cold and not very bright face.
"Is it you? If you want to help me, just come here. Why are you dressing up like a Huns?" Ziying couldn't laugh or cry.
"King Wuling of Zhao can ride and shoot in barbarian attire, and Uncle Zhi will definitely not lose to him." Xun Jin said seriously.
"I'm afraid it's another lie." Li Xin stepped forward and fiddled with Xun Jin's clothes, "The clothes are exactly the same as those of the Xiongnu. It is very likely that the Xiongnu's work has been hidden in Xianyang for many years."
"Commander Li is overly concerned, let him go." Ziying ordered. Lingfen had lived in the Xun family for a long time. If Xun Jin was really careful, Lingfen would definitely find out.
Li Xin was still worried and said coldly, "Xianyang is far away from the Xiongnu land, so what's the matter with your Xiongnu language? Only people from Zhao can be so proficient in this."
"This can be regarded as Xun's family training."
"I know." Ziying interrupted, "How do you plan to help me?"
Xun Jin shook his shoulders and broke away from the shackles of the messenger.
"I am not weaker than Zhang Liang, and I am not inferior to Li Zuoche in martial arts. It all depends on how the king wants me to act." Xun Jin cupped his hands and said.
Yang Chen and Li Xin couldn't stand listening anymore, their faces were full of disgust, and they turned away from looking at Xun Jin.
