Of course Touman Shanyu didn't know that there was only one army like Shen Bing in the world, especially the three-bow bed crossbow that was used to disrupt the Huns' cavalry. Except for Shen Bing's equipment in the north, the rest of the army was a company. Never heard of it.
However, the emergence of the three-bow crossbow really facilitated the Qin army to a great extent, especially against the cavalry.
For example, when fighting against cavalry in the wild, they would fire a few string arrows around... So the Huns would circle around and then shoot arrows in the middle.
Mao Dun also had the same idea as Tou Man.
Under such circumstances, there is no profit in entering the Central Plains to plunder... Even if they can rob some property, it is probably not worth the loss. Of course, the Huns are not willing to do a loss-making transaction.
Therefore, Shen Bing's battle actually brought peace to Yunzhong County. Even later, when Shen Bing continued to expand the scope of the enclosure and speed up the pace, the Xiongnu could only swallow their anger and dare not act rashly.
Shen Bing turned his attention again to the issue of developing production.
The amount of grain, grass, ore and labor transported from the Central Plains also gradually increased.
In fact, Shen Bing knew that what Yunzhong County lacked most was not these things, but the people.
If there are people, everything will be possible, otherwise everything will just depend on others...
For example, in Yunzhong County at this time, because there were no civilians, the soldiers could only be provided by the Central Plains, as well as labor, ore, etc.
This is not to say that Shen Bing wants to rebel, but that Shen Bing knows how history will develop in the future:
After the death of Ying Zheng, Zhao Gao colluded with Li Si to establish Hu Hai, and secretly sent a funeral edict to Fu Su.
Once Fusu died, it was only a matter of time before Meng Tian, who was half a teacher of Fusu, was forced to die.
Although Shen Bing seems to have changed the direction of history, in fact, it has not changed... He only accelerated the historical process of Qin's unification of the six countries.
If anything has changed, it is that far fewer people have died.
For example, Lord Changping and Xiang Yan were defeated and committed suicide, and there were thousands of soldiers from Qin and Chu fighting against each other.
In particular, the interest relationship between Zhao Gao and Li Si has not changed, which means that they will have the motive to harm Fusu.
However, Shen Bing replaced Meng Tian as Fusu's "half teacher".
What if history repeats itself?
Zhao Gao was the person beside Ying Zheng who wrote edicts and issued imperial edicts.
Li Si is the prime minister who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
They say Ying Zheng is not dead, so who dares to say that Ying Zheng is dead?
They issued a false imperial edict... In fact, it was the real imperial edict, because the imperial edict had always been written by Zhao Gao, and it was stamped with the seal of Ying Zheng. The real imperial edict also looked like this, and it was exactly the same.
The difference between it and the true imperial edict is that it was not what Ying Zheng said.
But if Ying Zheng dies, can he still crawl out and hold Zhao Gao and Li Si accountable?
As a result, almost the whole world was under the control of Zhao Gao and Li Si.
Of course, this control is temporary. Zhao Gao and Li Si cannot use the corpse to convey orders like this for a long time. After a long time, all the officials will become suspicious if they don't see Ying Zheng's people.
So Zhao Gao and Li Si had to force Su to death and establish someone they could control as emperor to maintain their power. This person was of course Zhao Gao's student Hu Hai.
What should Shen Bing do if he encounters this situation?
Resistance and disobedience?
That means going against the world and treason!
Many people in later generations said that Fusu committed suicide because he was pedantic and read the imperial decree conferring death. However, from his point of view... Fusu did not know that Ying Zheng was dead and thought that this was what Ying Zheng really meant.
So is there any point in going to Xianyang to meet the Holy Spirit?
What kind of determination did Ying Zheng have to make to send his son to death?
How can a few words persuade you to turn back?
So there were only two paths before Fusu: either commit suicide in accordance with the order, or raise an army to rebel.
Fusu was unwilling to choose the latter, and at the same time had no confidence in the latter, so he could only choose the former.
Shen Bing didn't want it to end like this, so he had to make more preparations in advance.
How can we get more people?
Shen Bing thought for a long time and then found Yan and asked:
"Can two to five hundred masters understand the Xiongnu language?"
He handed over his hand and answered:
"Our language is similar to that of the Xiongnu. Although we cannot say that we understand each other, we are inseparable from each other."
Shen Bing nodded and said:
"So good!"
After saying that, he asked someone to bring a Huns prisoner and retreated, and asked the servant to tell the prisoner:
"Tell this to the King of the Huns, with my Shen Bing's original bed crossbow and rope arrows, I will destroy as many as you come!"
Yan did not doubt that he had it, so he translated the original words to the prisoner and put him back to report the news.
On the surface, this seemed very normal. It was Shen Bing demonstrating and warning the Huns. Even Touman Shanyu was just angry after hearing this, and almost killed the prisoner who came back to tell this.
But Maodun stopped Touman and asked the prisoner:
"Say it again, do you remember it clearly?"
The prisoner repeated the story again, and then answered:
"King Zuo Xian, I remember this word for word."
Mao Dun asked again:
"Are you sure he said the word 'original'?"
The prisoner answered affirmatively:
"Sure!"
Only then did Touman realize the problem and asked:
"Does this mean that...only Yunzhong County has bed crossbows and rope arrows? Even such an amazing crossbow arrow?"
Mao Dun nodded:
"That's what I thought too."
"I found out the information. It is said that Shen Bing is a craftsman and can make all kinds of strange weapons and tools."
"So this may be true. The Central Plains may not yet have bed crossbows and rope arrows."
"only……"
Touman Shanyu asked anxiously:
"Just what?"
Modu replied:
"Shen Bing is so smart, how could he reveal this information to us?"
"And it seems like he intended for us to know."
"Is this a trap to lure us to the Central Plains?"
Touman replied nonchalantly:
"There are not so many tricks. This is just a mistake made by Shen Bing to show off his achievements!"
"Besides, we only need to send out spies to find out!"
After saying that, he immediately sent out herders disguised as horse traders to investigate.
In fact, Mao Dun guessed half of it right. This was indeed the news Shen Bing deliberately revealed to him.
In fact, Shen Bing was really unwilling to fight this battle with the Xiongnu, let alone to win such a perfect battle.
This is not to say that Shen Bing likes to be abused, but that he should not win this battle in the long run.
If the Xiongnu could be defeated so easily, and if the border could be kept safe with only the garrison of more than 10,000 Shen soldiers, then would it be necessary to move the people to Yunzhong County as a long-term plan?
In other words, at this time Shen Bing was in the same boat as the Xiongnu in a certain way: if the Xiongnu was strong, Shen Bing would be strong, and if the Xiongnu was weak, Shen Bing would be weak.
Only when the Huns were strong enough to threaten the Central Plains, could the Central Plains continue to send people and goods to the border.
Otherwise, the doubled food, resources, and 10,000 laborers... are just rewards after victory.
