Three days after the Battle of Baishan Mountain, the victory report was sent to Pingcheng together with Mao Dun's head and body. The 100,000 troops stationed here shouted long live!
The person who killed Maodun was the right general of the Xiongnu. Now he has established himself as the new Chanyu. This new Chanyu is very good. Not only did he offer Maodun's head, but he also promised to send back the people of the Central Plains who had plundered the grasslands.
They asked for forgiveness from the Qin Dynasty and promised that they would withdraw from Beijia, Yunzhong, and escape to Mobei, and would no longer return south. The Xiongnu were afraid that Heifu would kill them all. Now that most of the young Xiongnu had been lost, they were already south of the Yinshan Mountains.
Stand firm and resist the attack from the Central Plains.
Faced with the obedience of the right general, Heifu asked Lou Jing, who was in charge of the affairs of the vassal state.
"After the Battle of Baideng, how many kings and generals of the Xiongnu are still alive?"
Lou Jing reported: "Those who are still alive include King Zuo Guli, Zuo Dadu, You Dadanghu, and You Guduhou. They were all captured by our army and imprisoned at the foot of Baishan Mountain."
"According to your observation, which two of these four people are more honest."
Lou Jing's business ability is still very strong. He learned the Xiongnu language when he was ordered to live in Daidi a few years ago. He has already found out the families and past of these people: "King Guli on the left, Da Danghu on the right and Dang Hu on the right.
The generals are the same, they are all descendants of the Twins family, while the left captain is of the Lan family, and the right bone captain is of the Xubu family. In terms of respectability, naturally it is the latter two..."
Heifu understands:
"Let them go."
"Let Feng Chang engrave the seal again. I will make the left captain the captain of Guiyi. The western Shanyu, south of the desert, north of Juyan, and west of the Yinshan Mountain, will be under his control. The right captain will be the captain of Guiyi.
Commander Xianghua, the eastern Shanyu, south of the desert, east of the Yinshan Mountains, and north of the Great Wall shall be under his jurisdiction!"
"As for the bitter cold of Mobei, the Qin Dynasty can't reach it, so I will leave it to the right general to eat sand!"
Lou Jing flattered him and said: "Xia Gong's clever plan is that if the grasslands are divided, they will be weak, and if they are united, they will be strong. If the three Shan Yus stand side by side, the Huns will split up and attack each other, while the Central Plains will benefit from it!"
This was not over yet, Heifu continued to make up his mind: "Those who will be conferred together with us are the Donghu tribe who fled to Wuhuan Mountain and Xianbei Mountain. After the spring, we will send people to explore and search for them."
"As well as the land of Beihai, the countries of Hunyu, Qushe, Dingling, Gekun, and Xinli who were surrendered to the Xiongnu must also find ways to let merchants go there, and each of them will be awarded a seal and ribbon and be named the captain of the vassal country."
Who doesn’t know how to open a map and open a border? Regardless of whether it can be actually controlled, hurry up and confirm the legal principles first, and leave these millions of square kilometers of land “from ancient times” to future generations...
"If the above Shanyus, lords, and captains of the Hu tribe are willing to surrender, they will all become vassal states of the Qin Dynasty. They will send hostages to the court and pay a certain amount of animal skins, wool, cattle and horses to the Central Plains every year!"
The two Xiongnu nobles who were let go, as well as the Donghu and Dingling tribes who were oppressed by the Xiongnu, would be happy to be able to embrace Qin's lap.
At the end, Heifu thought for a moment, smiled playfully, and asked Lou Jing:
"Lou Jing, what do you think, if the Xiongnu nobles send their daughters to the court to marry the princes' descendants as concubines, in order to promote good neighborliness and friendship between Xia and Hu, what do you think of it called 'harmony'?"
Unexpectedly, in history, Lou Jing, who was the first to give Lao Liu the idea of proposing a marriage, asking him to accept Mao Dun as his son-in-law, and holding high the banner of "For the sake of peace, why should your Majesty be the chanyu grandpa?", now he is very opposed to the marriage.
…
He bowed and said: "I think it is inappropriate. The ancients said that marriage is a hierarchy of misfortunes and blessings. Because it benefits internally, it brings blessings, while benefiting externally brings disasters. Therefore, kings and nobles can marry people of the same race, but it is not suitable to marry foreigners.
"
"In the spring and autumn of the past, when the Southern Barbarians and the Northern Di invaded, King Xiang of Zhou also relied on the Red Di to attack the state of Zheng, which disrespected the king's orders and shot an arrow on the king's shoulder."
"Afterwards, King Zhou Xiang was so grateful to the Di people that he actually planned to marry a Di girl as his queen. Fu Chen, the official, advised him not to get close to Rong Di and abandon the clan. King Zhou Xiang refused to listen and made the Di girl his queen. Unexpectedly, the Di girl
His views on etiquette were different from those of Hua. He was disgusted with the old age of King Xiang and openly committed adultery with Wang Zidai, the brother of King Xiang of Zhou Dynasty. King Zhou Xiang was so angry that he deposed Queen Di. Queen Di actually led Di people into Qin with Wang Zidai and occupied Luoyang.
King Zhou Xiang ran away and finally caused a big disaster..."
Heifu blinked and realized that he really didn't know about this.
"The car in front is overturned, and the car behind is a lesson. How can a wild and untamed she-wolf be allowed to enter the house?"
Not to mention that the Hu women were not happy with their appearance in the Central Plains, plus the different etiquette and customs of the two parties. Even if they were happy for a while, there would be endless troubles afterwards. This move would definitely not please both sides. At least Lou Jing would never want to do more.
The grandson of a Hu girl...
Hei Fu also followed the good example, so the matter was settled.
Outside, Shu Suntong and other scribes who arrived with the subsequent army were in a state of excitement.
They wandered around the Baishan Mountain after the war, repeatedly asking the soldiers as they passed by, and felt that the incident of Mao Dun's conferring the head was worthy of a special book, and they should publicize it in Guandong.
The man wreaking havoc on the barbarians was not a heroic knight, but Duke Xia, who treated the world equally!
"This was not only a victory for the Qin army over the Xiongnu, but also a complete victory for the Xia over the Hu people."
"In the past, Duke Huan of Qi crossed over to the Yan State to attack the mountain warriors, destroying the isolated bamboos and remnants of the army to save the people of Yan. Five hundred years later, the Duke of Xia personally marched to the north of Dai. He defeated Maodun, killed more than 100,000 Hu, and rescued Dai.
There are hundreds of thousands of people in the land, so it is said that in five hundred years there will be an uncle!"
Today's overlord is naturally the Black Overlord!
But in the eyes of Confucian scholars, hegemony is still not enough, and it must be further promoted to the kingly way!
It's true that drowsiness comes to the pillow. After the world is restored, people from far away come to visit one after another!
The uncles and Sun Tong compared the fact that Heifu granted the titles to the Three Chanyus of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Donghu, and the vassal states of Beihai as captains to those of Tang Yu, Xia Yu, Cheng Tang, and Zhou Gong in history...
"In the past, Tang Yu worshiped nine sages and placed them on the throne. There was great prosperity in the country, and there were no guests. Linfeng was in the suburbs. Now the Duke of Xia is in power, and the same is true. This is a sign of the sage's reign!"
The Confucian scholars felt that things were ready, and they were already gearing up. Taking advantage of the continuous victories in civil and foreign wars, they persuaded Duke Xia to move in...
But one thing became a thorn in the hearts of Conglong's ministers.
The generals and counselors under Heifu did not relax their vigilance due to the destruction of the Huns at this moment. They were still facing a formidable enemy. They felt that the war was not over yet and that once the snow stopped, they might have to go north again at any time.
Because although the Qin army was completely victorious in this battle, something unexpected happened.
As the hero of the Northern Expedition and the biggest beneficiary after the war, the princes were the ones who least expected this person to appear. They whispered:
"Why is 'Fusu' here?"
…
"I invited him here."
Heifu revealed the truth to his confidant "Mr. Huangshi". Although he had already announced the "death" of Fusu and said that the actual controller of the Liao soldiers was Liu Ji, this trick could only deceive the common people.
, such as Zhang Liang and other talented people, but they have a clear mind.
"As early as when I went to the north to destroy Chu, I sent an envoy by sea and sent a letter to Fusu, asking him to come to Daibei to hunt wolves together."
"I said this to Fusu in my letter."
"If you come, we will still be old friends..."
"I still think that this is an unnecessary step that only makes everyone uneasy!"
Zhang Liang believes that without Fusu, the Xia army can still defeat Maodun. As for whether he can kill him, it depends purely on luck. But keeping Fusu on the side has created many variables. He feels that Heifu is adding risks to the war.
, frowned and said:
"What if he doesn't come, or if he comes he helps the Huns?"
While caressing his two pet dogs and feeding them meat of questionable origin, Heifu said:
"That's the enemy!"
Heifu even hummed: "When friends come, there is wine; when enemies come, there are swords and guns..."
He made adequate preparations for this.
"On the Jiaodong front line, Weiyang and his navy are ready to cross north to Liaodong."
"As for Guangyang County, there is no army going north to attack the Xiongnu. They are still fighting hard. Just wait for the snow to melt before they can cross Luanbu, Yuyang County, which has surrendered to me, and march towards western Liaoning!"
"Fortunately, he is still the Fusu I know."
Heifu stood up: "Get ready, I want to invite Fusu to come to the banquet."
"It's time to settle the feud between the two of us!"
Zhang Liangdao: "If he comes, what will Duke Xia do with him? Let him hide his identity like a minister? But Fusu is different from me. He is the eldest son of Qin Shihuang and the orthodox successor of the Qin Kingdom. How can he do this?"
Are you willing to serve as a vassal of Duke Xia?"
"But if it is to kill, Fusu can distinguish between right and wrong. Once killed, he will be wiped out along with the tens of thousands of his subordinates..."
In Zhang Liang's view, it might be the best way to follow the previously announced news of Fusu's death and let this person disappear from view.
Regarding this matter, Heifu did not want others to comment: "I have my own plan, so I can get the best of both worlds."
"What is the solution?" Zhang Liang asked, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
"Of course..."
Heifu raised his head and said with a calm smile: "Recommend the good and give way to the capable!"
