"Someone from Zhao believes that although the king is in a state of decline now, he will leave a mark in history. Have the kings of the Cinu Shanyu in the past ever thought that the Cinu herdsmen can freely enter and leave Heishui City? Have they ever thought that,
Can Cinu people study, marry, buy property, and even serve as officials in the Qin Empire?"
"this……"
"The king's decision will change this situation. The Ci Nu still have their own cultural beliefs and their own autonomous territory. The people no longer have to worry about war and can live and work in peace and contentment. The population will increase and the economy will flourish. The entire Ci Nu clan will
Thriving, never being looked down upon by others, never being considered a barbarian, Wang thinks, isn't this a kind of success?"
"...Yes." King Shan Yu hesitated for a moment.
"Many people live at the wrong time, but for the king, it happens to be in troubled times. At this time, a decision made by the king can push the entire Cinu clan into hell or bring the clan members into heaven. In fact, the king does not have to worry about personal gains and losses.
For a nation, any immortal hero can only maintain temporary peace. Only a true king can think of eternal peace for the entire nation..."
There was a moment of silence, and you could hear a needle drop.
All the top officials of Cinu looked at Shan Yu.
Everyone knows very well that the conditions discussed by Lan Cai'er and Zhao Yuan are empty words. If Shan Yu does not cooperate, it will be difficult to control the direction of the matter.
There is no doubt that Zhao Yuan was personally trying to persuade Shan Yu with these words.
People did not expect that the arrogant Zhao Yuan would personally persuade Shan Yu, which was a bit unexpected. After all, Zhao Yuan was in a strong position from the beginning to the end of the contact.
Shan Yu was silent for a while, looking at Zhao Yuan with gray eyes, as if he wanted to guess Zhao Yuan's true inner thoughts.
Zhao Yuan also looked at Shan Yu, his eyes filled with sincerity.
Zhao Yuan knew very well the importance of Shan Yu in the plan. Without Shan Yu's cooperation, all plans would be aborted.
Against an ambitious person like Shan Yu, force has little effect. If you want him to be loyal to the Qin Empire wholeheartedly, you must persuade him spiritually.
"My father once said that when you are under a low eaves, it doesn't matter if you lower your head. Seeing the situation clearly and lowering your posture is a manifestation of courage and wisdom. If you are limited to temporary gains and losses and miss success, wouldn't it be a huge regret? Among them
The truth is self-evident. It is clear at a glance whether it is worthwhile or not. It is impossible for one person to do everything well, and it is impossible to never need the help of others. When you are under the roof, when you encounter difficulties,
You might as well bend down, lower your posture, be low-key, and you may find that there are more opportunities right in front of you." Shanyu's voice was a little low, and it was obvious that he had lost his fighting spirit.
"A person's dignity can be divided into inner dignity and outer dignity. A person's outer dignity depends on his strength and achievements, while inner dignity depends on a person's affirmation of the value of his life and the evaluation of others.
It's irrelevant. Inner dignity is the starting point and foundation of a person's dignity. A person must first have self-respect, and then he can have true dignity." Zhao Yuan said lightly.
"Respect is more important than life!" Chanyu said in silence for a long time.
"Just because you ask others, it doesn't mean that others are more valuable than you, nor does it mean that others are more dignified than you. It just means that others have more initiative than you in the matter you want to do for various reasons.
Right. Because the initiative lies with others, you have to show a low profile. Showing a low profile only shows the other party that you are not as strong as the other party in this matter and you need the other party's help. It does not mean that you have a low personality.
Just like you have to pay money to see a doctor, you have to put down some face when looking for others to do things - this is a specific price for showing a low profile to the other party, and the price, sometimes, cannot be completely measured by dignity."
The two of them seemed to be talking separately, but these few words contained the philosophy of life.
There was another long silence for the Chanyu.
For Chanyu, the saddest thing is losing his dignity, and being loyal to the Qin Empire means that he has lost his dignity, and is even equal to the last emperor. It is very likely that he will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
Zhao Yuan's words did not make Shanyu suddenly enlightened, but they made Shanyu lose his attachment to dignity.
As Zhao Yuan said, a person's dignity depends on an affirmation of the value of his life, and loyalty to the Qin Empire can bring endless peace to the Cinu clan. There is no doubt that this is the true meaning and value of life.
The affirmation is the heart of a king.
"I want to personally lead the army of assassins!" Chanyu stared at Zhao Yuan and said word by word.
"no problem!"
Zhao Yuan smiled slightly and picked up the wine glass.
"It's really no problem..."
Shan Yu was stunned. Originally, he thought that Zhao Yuan would use various excuses to weaken his leadership status. He even thought of a good countermeasure to force the other party to agree to his conditions, and at least to gain part of the military power. He
He never expected that Zhao Yuan would agree so readily without any hesitation.
"It is best for the Cinu soldiers to be led by King Shanyu. Of course, once the Qin Empire has passed the crisis, I advise you to give up military power, return to Cinu, manage the Cinu prairie with peace of mind, and let the people live and work in peace and prosperity.
Life." Zhao Yuan said calmly.
"clear."
Shan Yu naturally understood what Zhao Yuan meant. Once the situation of the Qin Empire turned around, if he still held on to military power, he would definitely arouse the suspicion of the current emperor. As the saying goes, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, and the best way is to retreat bravely.
In fact, this is no problem for Chanyu.
Shan Yu wants military power now not because he wants to be wary of the Qin Empire, but because he wants to lead troops to fight. If he wins, he hands over his military power and retires with success. At that time, everything will no longer matter.
After Shanyu decided to pledge allegiance to the Qin Empire, he had no interest in what happened after victory. He knew very well that when that day came, the Qin Empire had regained its strength. Now, what he hopes most is to fight on the battlefield and be able to serve as slaves.
The whole family was proud and proud.
In fact, Shan Yu also thought that Cinu's future status would also depend on the meritorious service achieved in this battle. The greater the merit, the greater the benefits for Cinu in the future. If he could have a certain say in the temple of the Qin Empire,
That couldn't be better...
…
The matter was finally decided.
This time, Zhao Yuan's trip to assassinate slaves seems to be calm, but in fact, the Chanyu is fighting openly and covertly with various tribes. It can be said that there is an undercurrent. If he is not careful, he will turn against the slave slaves. In order to achieve this goal,
In making the agreement, Zhao Yuan could be said to have taken every step step by step, walking on thin ice for fear of taking the wrong step...
…
The assassin soldiers and horses began to gather.
The leaders of each major tribe dispatched their most valiant warriors, countless young herdsmen came from all directions, and excellent war horses also gathered in a steady stream.
Everyone knows that this battle will affect the peace of the Cinu clan for countless years.
When the soldiers knew that they would fight side by side with Zhao Yuan, their morale was high.
No matter where Zhao Yuan goes, he will attract countless people to stop and watch. People want to see what the person who can kill Luna Luo and Master Ruolin, the King of Martial Arts, looks like.
Looking at the enthusiastic eyes, Zhao Yuan blushed a little. He didn't expect that he had so many fans in Cinu. You know, he originally thought that Cinu people would hate him to the core.
In fact, Zhao Yuan didn't know that throughout the history of the Cinu people, they had always worshiped the strong. In their view, although Zhao Yuan was an enemy, he was also a strong man worthy of respect...
…
The Cinu people are an out-and-out nomadic people. Every household has good horses, strong bows, and leather sabers. As long as you mount a war horse, carry a saber on your waist, a long bow on your back, and bring a few pieces of dry food and dried meat, you can immediately join the army.
During the battle.
There is no doubt that the efficiency of the assassins is extremely high. In just five days, an army of 150,000 people was gathered, and with nearly 100,000 good horses to follow, they marched towards Blackwater City in a mighty manner.
Zhao Yuan stood on the hillside and watched the overwhelming number of assassin cavalry rushing towards Blackwater City like a tide. He was shocked beyond measure.
No wonder the Cinu clan has always been a worry for the Great Qin Empire. In terms of efficiency alone, the Great Qin Empire is far behind.
If the Qin Empire wanted to use 150,000 cavalry, it would take at least a month to prepare, and they would also need to prepare a large amount of food and weapons. Logistics and supplies alone would be unimaginable.
Nomads do have an inherent advantage in mobility.
The only way to defeat the nomads in terms of mobility is the emergence of thermal weapons...
Thinking of a machine gun mounted on the grassland, shooting blood and flesh everywhere, Zhao Yuan had crazy thoughts, and he had to use steely willpower to control them.
Those destructive weapons must not be allowed to appear in Zhanyun Continent!
