Chapter 4 Lobbyists
Shusun is a master of debaters all over the world.
"Sooner or later it will be!" Shusun Tong raised his head and looked at Mao Dun with a gloomy look.
These words were like a sharp knife piercing the tip of Maodun's heart. During this period, he was depressed about this!
With his eyelids drooping, Mao Dun shrunk his cold and sinister gaze into a ball of lightning and shined it on Shusun Tong: "You go back and ask the Emperor of Qin to come and surrender, otherwise, I will capture Shangjun and cut him into pieces."
.”
These words were spoken by Mao Dun without any expression, and they were more powerful than the howling north wind outside the window. The excitement made Shusun Tong's skin crawl and hold up his clothes.
Shusun Tong climbed forward a few steps and whispered to Mao Dun: "Prince, my name is Shusun Tong. I once met Touman Da Chanyu in Jiuyuan County. Da Chanyu once gave me a reward. Meng Tian
When the troops left Yanmen County, I once sent a letter to the Great Chanyu——"
Mao Dun's eyebrows were slightly raised, and a pair of slender, white hands as cold as his eyes were placed on the charcoal stove to warm the fire, but he did not speak!
However, Shusuntong still saw the shock in Maodun's heart from this subtle movement, as if the crater of a volcano was about to erupt, shaking!
Shusuntong's eyes suddenly flashed with golden light, and he said with a flattering face: "Prince, I am here to surrender! The Second Qin Dynasty is cruel and cruel, greedy, and treats his subordinates very harshly. I really have no luck with him."
"Hey, I want to go to the Huns to serve the prince. I have an urgent military situation here, and I want to exchange wealth with the prince. Hehe, I wonder what the prince wants?" His expression was like a disgusting philistine businessman counting money.
Maodun said coldly: "Shusun Tong, I don't believe you."
Shusun Tong: "Of course the prince of the Xiongnu is not willing to trust a Qin person easily. I have already expected this. I came here as a gamble, and the bet is-" Shusun Tong looked around and lowered his head!
"Tell me, there are no outsiders here." He stretched out his hand and pinched Princess Falatia's face, causing a squealing sound.
"Yes, prince. The bet is the throne of the Great Chanyu!" Shusun Tong lowered his head and his whole body was trembling. It seemed that these words could kill him in an instant. He was extremely scared. "
A hint of cunning flashed in Modu's eyes, and at the same time his heart was turbulent, but he still sneered calmly: "How to say it?"
Shusun Tong was greatly shocked. This Maodun was indeed no ordinary person. After being hit with such a big stick, he only uttered three words in an understatement. It was not simple!
Shu Suntong developed according to the established rhythm: "I know that the Xiongnu people are brave and admire heroes. Although the prince is a hero, his military exploits may not be outstanding. This time he captured the Hetao, the whole country of the Xiongnu celebrated, and the Great Chanyu even praised the prince.
Youjia. The prince can definitely return home with a great reputation, but the prince still wants greater credit. The prince wants the emperor of Qin and the land in Guanzhong. Hey, the prince wants the icing on the cake! However, has the prince heard about the Central Plains?
Such a sentence is 'superfluous' - "
Mao Dun bowed slightly and said, "I have heard of it. I have read many books on the Central Plains, and I have heard about Confucius, Zhuangzi, and Han Fei!"
Shusun Tong thought to himself, it turns out that he is a China expert. This is easy to handle. The more educated he is, the easier it is to fool him. If he is a rough man, he will not survive today!
"With all due respect, the prince's move is just superfluous. It is very likely that the prince's previous achievements will be wasted, and he may even become a sinner of the Xiongnu!"
"You mean that I can't defeat Qin II?" Mao Dun heard Qin II's absurdities and was quite disdainful of him. His nostrils were about to rise to the sky. "Let me ask you, how many troops are there in the city now?
"
Shusun Tong calmly said: "Prince, there are still 200,000 elite soldiers in the city, and there is plenty of food and grass!"
"Two hundred thousand, plenty of food and grass? Then why don't you dare to go to war?"
"Prince, this is exactly Qin II's trap. There is a veteran in the Qin army. I believe the prince has heard about it. This person's name is Wang Ben. Wang Ben proposed a plan to Qin II to lure the prince into battle, set up an ambush, and annihilate them all in one fell swoop.
The Huns have 150,000 warriors!”
"Hahahaha, you are too alarmist. Even if you Qin people have an army of 200,000, there is no way you can defeat my 150,000 string control warriors!" Mao Dun didn't believe it at all.
But then Shu Sun Tong's trump card really shocked him: "Has your Majesty heard of Meng Tian?"
"Meng Tian?" Mao Dun was horrified and moved: "Isn't he dead? He is the devil who killed us Huns!"
"There is a misinformation from outside that Meng Tian is not dead at all, but was transferred to the Wuyue generation to expand the territory. Meng Tian has been ordered to attack the State of Zhao. Handan, the capital of King Zhao Xie, fell yesterday. Meng Tian's battle report was almost there last night
When the horse was in the hands of Qin II, the two agreed to send troops from Pingcheng in Zhao State, pass through Baishan Mountain, and copy the prince's retreat so that the prince would not be able to return to the royal court! By then, the prince would have a strong city in front of him and Meng Tian behind him.
The day of death is approaching, even if you barely escape, after losing the army and defeating the generals, the Great Chanyu and the Xiongnu people will look down upon the prince."
Mao Dun's face changed slightly and he held the letter of credence in his hand: "That's nonsense. If such a thing really happened, would the Emperor of Qin still write a letter of surrender?"
Shusun Tong banged his fist on the carpet on the ground and said angrily: "Treacherous plots, these are all treacherous plots. The emperor of Qin Dynasty wanted to use this trick to retreat in order to advance, hold back the prince, and buy Meng Tian time."
Mao Dun didn't say anything. He was filled with doubts and suddenly shouted: "Shu Sun Tong, do you think this prince is a child? Come on, take me down and lock him up. Wait until I win the battle tomorrow and get rid of my skin cramps."
To shock the army!"
"Prince, prince, everything I said is the truth, you must not fall into the tricks of Meng Tian and Wang Ben!" Shusun Tong was pulled out by two big and round Huns soldiers.
King Zuo Xian said hurriedly: "Prince, what this Qin man said has some truth. If we withdraw our troops now, the Great Chanyu will definitely reward us, and the people of the Xiongnu will also praise us. But if we lose the battle, there will be
A lot of people will be against you."
Maodun pondered for a moment: "Send a few people to the Qin Army City to explore the truth!"
"Yes, Your Highness the Prince!"
King Zuo Xian nodded and went out. Princess Frantia said: "Although the Qin people in the Central Plains are full of tricks, Your Highness, you can still deal with them, but you have to be careful with the woman next to Da Shanyu. She has sharp teeth like a poisonous snake.
, I don’t know when, I’ll spit out red worms and bite you!”
"What are you afraid of? The eagle on the grassland is the messenger of Changshengtian. The eagle eye will report everything that happens on the earth to Changshengtian. He will distinguish right from wrong. That woman will never end well!" Mao Dun said with a gloomy face and stretched out his hand.
Let’s warm up the fire!
"Giggle--my prince, you are so childish and cute. Can Changshengtian know right from wrong? We Huns are kind and honest, brave and good at fighting. We have been worshiping Changshengtian for generations. We should have the most beautiful pastures, the vastest lakes, and the most magnificent palaces in the world.
That's right, but look what we got. To the west are the Dayue clan, to the north are the Donghu people, and to the south are the Qin people. These are our powerful enemies! When the people of the Xiongnu were in the barren, cold and desolate land
When you are starving, where is your eternal life? Prince, the people of Qin have a saying, 'Man can conquer heaven.' You have to think clearly!" Frantia looked at Maodun with a hot light from her big blue eyes, and stretched out
She showed her jade arms, which were five points whiter than a lotus root, and couldn't help but hug his waist from behind.
"The Qin people also have a saying, 'The king is the guide for the ministers, the father is the guide for the son, and the husband is the guide for the wife.' I wonder if you have heard of it? As a son, I cannot violate the decision of the Great Chanyu.
, even if he decides to pass the throne to that woman's son, I can only obey and be an honest minister. A son cannot resist his father!" Mao Dun said in a very calm tone. At that moment, his deep eye sockets
A hot light shot out, and the light almost punched two round holes in the thick animal skin tent.
Falatia lay on Moton's back and felt her heart. His breathing was so strong and grand. It felt like listening to the waves surging by the Ergun River. But why did the prince say this?
So soft and devoid of any heroic spirit.
"I just want your passionate kiss at this moment, my dear Falatia. This prince doesn't care about the busy and cold throne at all." Mao Dun strongly suppressed his passionate emotions and turned his boundless attention to
Enthusiasm hides every detail.
There was disappointment in Falatia's eyes, and the disappointment was covered up by the true feelings revealed. Hu Nu was passionate and easy to be emotional, and she was even more easily deceived by sweet words. She had no idea that in the mind of Mao Dun, a born king, she was just
A very delicate peony that bloomed with fragrance in the spring. After three spring scenes, the autumn wind came, and Mao Dun would never look at her again. The diamond-encrusted gold and jade throne was his eternal goal!
I want to conquer the grasslands, conquer Western Asia, conquer Rome, and conquer the Qin Dynasty!
"Prince——" Falatia's green eyes were a little moist, and she immediately gave him a passionate kiss!
"Prince, the spies are back!" King Zuo Xian rushed in rudely like a chased beast, destroying this beautiful scenery.
Ah said he was stupid. He stood at the tent door, neither entering nor retreating. He stammered: "Prince, the spy is back!"
Maodun thought to himself, it’s just right for you to see me, so why don’t you go outside and tell me that I don’t have any ambitions?
"What did the spy say?"
"Your Majesty, the spies said that the defense at the top of the city in Shangjun is lax. They are all old, weak, sick and disabled. It seems that the Qin army is at the end of its rope. The prince should order an attack on the city. The general will guarantee that the city will be captured within two hours!"
"Are there really only old, weak and disabled soldiers?" Mao Dun's eyes suddenly lit up!
"The spies saw that the emperor of Qin was still in the city. If the prince sends troops now, he will be able to capture the emperor alive. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" King Zuo Xian geared up and almost jumped up with excitement.
Mao Dun was also very excited at first, but his excitement was instantly extinguished by King Zuo Xian's words.
Is that greedy and fearful guy from Qin II still in the city?
Will he stay in a crumbling and dangerous city with only a few thousand remaining soldiers and even the ancient walls?
There were question marks and ellipses in Modu’s mind!
"Go and find me Shusun Tong."
King Zuo Xian was puzzled: "Prince, he should be killed, he told lies!" Mao Dun shook his head and said: "Maybe he told the truth!"
"How is that possible? He clearly said that there were 200,000 soldiers and horses in the city, but the spies didn't even see 2,000 of them at the top of the city. He also said they were elite soldiers, but they were clearly cannon fodder!"
"Ah said, that's why what he said should be the truth!"
King Zuo Xian was unconvinced: "My subordinates don't quite understand what the prince means!"
"Think about it, if Shusun Tong is a liar who has colluded with Qin II, Qin II will definitely select elite soldiers in advance to demonstrate to us on the top of the city, so that this prince will have some scruples and not dare to act rashly.
attack. However, now that he has put up such a broken formation, he has only one purpose, which is to lure me into fighting. There must be a conspiracy here!"
King Zuo Xian smiled and said: "Prince, you are too worried. I think it is probably because the Qin people can no longer send any elite soldiers and strong generals, so it is so shabby!"
Mao Dun was angry and his head was made of stone, but he was not enlightened!
"If it's true as you said, will Qin II still stay in the city? I'm afraid he would have fled long ago. Even if the Qin people don't have elite soldiers, there are still a lot of common people in the city. Pull out two thousand elites and charge.
Is the appearance still acceptable? This prince asserts that this must be a trick of Qin II and Meng Tian!" Mao Dun gritted his teeth: "Meng Tian, he is the devil's minion——"
The soldiers outside the door have already brought Shusun Tong.
Two fierce Huns soldiers each carried him by one shoulder, as if he were carrying a chicken and threw it on the ground.
"Mr. Shusun, please get up quickly, why do you need to give me such a big gift!" Prince Modun kindly pulled Shusun Tong up and brushed off the dust on his body with two fingers! "
Shusuntong almost died of anger, thinking, am I the one who wants to salute you? It was obviously your people who threw me out.
"What does the prince want to do with the old man? Isn't it about beheading? It just so happens that I'm tired of living in the cell. If I want to behead, I have to hurry up. I don't want to go back to that ice cellar with ventilation on all sides!" Uncle
Sun Tongqi's beard trembled wildly and his eyes rolled.
Mao Dun laughed loudly and clapped his palms twice. Immediately there was a jingle of rings in the tent, and two charming maids walked out.
"I just made a joke with my husband. My husband is a tolerant person and he shouldn't mind. These two girls are young and charming. I gave them to my husband to show my love!" Mao Dun waved his hand and the two Hu girls
He smiled charmingly and came up to Shusun Tong's eyes, stretched out his palm to touch him!
To be honest, Shusun Tong really wanted to completely rebel at that moment. He had been a high-ranking official in the Qin State for so many years, and he had seen a lot of women, but this was the first time he encountered such a crazy and wild one, and he almost couldn't withstand the test.
Fortunately, three or four Confucian classics in his mind jumped out in time to stop his urge to cheat.
"This - the prince is too polite. I don't know what the prince wants me to do, and I will do it without any hesitation." Shusun Tong stepped back continuously, avoiding Hu Nu's clutches. All the bones in his body were soft, and then he
After a few touches, he fell to the ground. As he gets older, he is physically and mentally exhausted!
"This prince wants you to come here. I just want to ask if you have any way to deal with Qin II's scheme?"
I was fooled! Shusun Tong secretly laughed in his heart: "Of course, I have already thought about it, but I don't know what benefits the prince will give me?"
Mao Dun looked at the two charming Hu girls and nodded: "How about a hundred catties of gold?"
Shusun Tong shook his head, curled his lips and held out three fingers: "At least this number!" After speaking, he glanced at the two beauties who could be his great-granddaughters!
Moton had not yet become a Chanyu, and was not very wealthy himself: "As long as what Mr. Shanyu said is useful, the great Chanyu will definitely not begrudge the reward." In one sentence, he kicked the ball to his father!
"Well, my strategy is to 'take advantage of the situation'"
"How do you take advantage of the situation?"
"It's really hard to talk to you Huns. You don't even understand how to use a plan. It means that the prince accepted the letter of surrender from the Emperor of Qin and invited the Emperor to meet outside the city for an alliance. The Emperor of Qin made the most important promise. Since he promised to cede the land, there is nothing he can't do without.
The reason given is that in this way, the prince does not need to lose his troops and defeats the generals. He can take Shangjun without bloodshed and retreat. The Xiongnu country will definitely praise him, and the prince will be one step closer to the throne of the Great Chanyu! Hehe-" Shusuntong behaved very treacherously.
"What a good idea. In this case, why don't you, sir, go back to the city and explain everything to your emperor, and make an appointment with him to meet outside the city at noon tomorrow!" Mao Dun sneered in his heart.
"That's not possible. Prince, please don't forget that this matter was originally Qin II's plan to lure the enemy. If I go back like this, I will mess up the matter. Do you think that dog emperor can let me go? He must be chopped into meat paste.
No! You'd better send a Huns!"
Maodun was completely relieved this time!
If what Shusun Tong told was a lie, he would definitely take the opportunity to escape.
Chapter completed!
