Volume Four, East Becomes West, Chapter 20 East and West Dominate

Although Er Dun's words were unpleasant, Zhu Zhi, who was present, thought about it, with the strength of Aries mutual, one was eaten by someone in one bite and the other was driven away by someone. Then he weighed it and did not have any chance of winning. They all softened and looked at Touman, hoping that he could make an idea. Touman had no idea either. He threw the problem to Maodun again.

Maodun put on an air for a while and saw that those guys were timid, then he said, don’t be nervous. Although the cavalry of Western Chu is strong, they are not us Huns after all, and they cannot live on horseback like us. Therefore, it is possible for them to defeat King Aries. King Loufan, but it is impossible to go to the desert to attack us. Please be safe. Don’t go to Shangjun, and stay away from the King of Western Chu to avoid being unhappy.

Before he could finish his words, someone started shouting, "The north is not allowed to go to Shangjun, where can I go?"

%,Ten thousand

Maodun said that the cavalry of the Western Chu people is strong. It does not mean that the cavalry of other countries is also strong. Didn’t Xiang Qiao from Hedong be beaten to the point of being beaten by King Loufan? The same is true for Dai and Yan. They don’t have such strong cavalry, so we can still come and go freely.

When the territory was facing the Yan Dynasty, King Zuo Li Khan and King Gu Xi's face suddenly looked ugly. It was our pasture. You all went there to rob. Isn't it equivalent to catching sheep in our sheep pen? Why don't you go west? King Xiu Tu, who is in the west, is not facing the people of Western Chu?

Touman also had a headache. The ranch is the lifeblood of everyone and no one wants to share it with others. The Aries King is dead now, and if he loses the north, he will be lost. However, King Loufan lost Shangjun and moved to Hedong. King Zuo Li Khan came here this time to ask for an explanation. If you have to transfer more people, then he will not play with you.

Maodun pretended to behave and thought for a long time. Finally, he said, "How about this, you can gather some cattle and sheep, and I will discuss with him. Bihuan, we want salt, iron, grain, and items from the Central Plains, rather than fighting for the sake of hard work. If we can really do business with the people of Western Chu and provide it to us as he promised, why don't we do it? If we really can't talk, then we will work together to fight him. This is not a matter of anyone. If the power is dispersed, we are no match for him."

Touman also felt it made sense. He sought everyone's opinions. Everyone thought it was a good idea, but the Gongwei's requirements were too high, and even if it was distributed to everyone, it would be a considerable wealth. After discussing, Maodun patted his chest and said, "It doesn't need to be that much, give half of it first, 10,000 horses and 50,000 cows."

Everyone still felt that it was too much. They finally got rid of the dispute and reduced it by half, five thousand horses and thirty thousand cows. Maodun reluctantly agreed. He asked everyone to go back to collect the cows and horses, and then sent them to him together. He went to discuss with the people of Xichu before he left. He said that you gave too little. I cannot guarantee whether the greedy people of Xichu will agree, so you must be mentally prepared. It is possible to add some more or start fighting at that time.

After he said this, everyone felt embarrassed and said a good thing with a smile. When Maodun saw it, his face was as bitter as a bitter gourd, but he was so happy that he was still happy. He prepared the conditions required by Gongwei and lost 10,000 cows in vain. This business was really done. He immediately rushed back to his territory and sent someone to contact Gongwei to Beidi.

After receiving the news, Fu Kuan, who was stationed in the north, did not dare to neglect it and immediately sent a quick horse to send the news to Xianyang.

At the same time, King Zuo Li Khan and King Guxi, who had been cut off, launched a front-end attack. The Yan Dai area suddenly became warlike. King Chen Yu and King Yan did not dare to neglect their tea and all the soldiers in the country were fighting with the Huns. Like Xiang Qiao in Hedong, they were beaten in a mess by the Huns who were undecided. Chen Yu was seriously insufficient in military strength. Although Sheng Tu had more troops, the number of cavalry was limited and he could not compete with the Huns. It was finally easy to support it until it snowed. The Huns retreated on their own.

Sheng Tu and Chen Yu were so anxious that they sat down at this time. After thinking about it carefully, they thought of the initiator Gongwei. So Sheng Cha's son Sheng Yan and Chen Yu's confidant Xia said that they rushed to Xianyang immediately. Sheng Tu also wrote a letter to Xiang Yu to explain the reason for their contact with Gongwei. On the one hand, they were also demonstrating. Gongwei and I were allies. If you move Qi, I will not care about Zhao. But don't make any decisions about Yan.

Xiang Yi and Sima Xin, who had just breathed, also gave Xiang Yu a urgent letter, and took advantage of the winter when the Huns could not send troops. If they continued like this, Hedong would be dragged to death sooner or later.

Sheng Yan and Xia said that when they met Gongwei, Gongwei was watching Huqi camp training in Shanglinyuan. King Aries died. Gongwei captured thousands of prisoners. He picked out a thousand wives and children from them to form Huqi camp, and stationed in Shanglinyuan and was under the command of Lu Chen. The families of these thousand people were hostages, and their wives were farmed at home and enjoyed the same treatment as those of the Western Chu people, but once the children fled, these people would have to be beheaded. At the beginning, some people were worried that the Huns were barbarians and were not of my race, and their hearts would be different. But to their surprise, these Huns had died because the Aries King

Then they went to other tribes and their lives would not be better than in Xianyang. Now they had food and drinks, and military pay. Their wives and children could live and work in peace and contentment, and they didn't have to worry about being robbed. It was hundreds of times better than the days on the grassland. Who would still be willing to go back to the grassland? A thousand Huns practiced peacefully. Those who were not picked were jealous. They could not enter the Huqi camp, so they could only be slaves. That life would not be easy. So many Huns were making trouble in the prison camp, Zhoupinpu. They swear to be loyal to the King of Western Chu. They also asked to join the Huqi camp. The people who admired the world cut their faces and cursed them.

Gongwei finally gave him a favor outside the law and added another 300 places. Then the remaining thousands of people were treated as slaves to the military farm. They only had clothes and food and had no money to take it, but Gongwei gave them a hope that those who had been farming for five years could get rid of their slaves. In the future, they would be willing to be a farmer or join the army, and they could discuss it again.

With hope, there is motivation, and the Huns stopped making trouble. Those who entered the Huqi camp worked hard to shave and those who farmed were honestly learning to cultivate the land.

The Huns were much more skilled in riding than the Central Plains. Even the Longxi children who were good at riding and shooting were much inferior to them. Even teenagers could pull a bow and shoot arrows on a horse while riding on a bare back. With the help of stirrups, they were even more wings. Their understanding of cavalry tactics was innate. Lu Chen was amazed at this. Seeing the more than 1,300 Huns circling freely on the horse, he was moved again. He asked Gongwei several times that it would be a pity to not take such a good cavalry out of war.

Gongwei smiled and said, when did he give birth to two sons and when would he go to war again? What made Lu Chen laugh and cry was that Gongwei personally selected two good-looking Hun women to serve him as concubines, and dressed up beautifully to deliver them to the mansion. It was impossible to accept them, which became a joke in Xianyang. When the princess Xiong Ying saw it, she had to accept it. Fortunately, she knew Changchen's affection for her, so she didn't say much, and of course she could not help but tell her pain in front of the princess Bai Mei.

In addition to the captives and cattle and sheep, there were more than 20,000 women. In addition to those who were too old to have children and those who were not yet adult, there were nearly 10,000 people. Gongwei rewarded all the soldiers who made meritorious service as wives and concubines. These people were not slaves, but were all civilians who were naturalized in the Western Chu State and could enjoy all the benefits enjoyed by the Western Chu State. This was a good thing, but it caused some trouble. Because among the captured Huns, Gongwei asked the Huns who had wives and concubines to keep a woman each, and there were extra ones to capture, and there were two kinds of people.

.The couple who joined the Hu Qi camp, both of them were civilians. Those who did not join the Hu Qi camp were both slaves. They were not considered civilians. This was the same. The women who followed their husbands as slaves were unwilling to do so. They ran away secretly and would rather be concubines for the soldiers of Western Chu. In order to become civilians, the slaves were very dissatisfied and started to clamor to be fair. The Communist Wei finally agreed to them that your wife had gone away, and I had no choice, but I promise you that you would get rid of your slaves in five years and I would provide you with the women you stolen. The slaves calmed down their anger a little.

This incident naturally became the happiest topic for Xianyang people after dinner.

Xia said that when he first arrived in Xianyang, he felt incredible when he heard this. The King of Western Chu really dared to use any trick to increase the population. He fought to steal the Hun women. But later when he saw Xiong women wearing Central Plains clothes and playing stiff Chu-language and Qin-style everywhere in Xianyang, he really believed it. He pulled a passerby with a school emblem of the Western Chutai School and asked. Is it a bit inappropriate to steal the Huns' wives like this? The scholar rolled his eyes and said as if he looked at an alien: "If you don't take the Huns women to the soldiers who have made meritorious service, will the soldiers who have made meritorious service give their wives to the Huns?" After saying that, he shook his sleeves and raised his long and swayed.

Ji Shuo and Sheng Yan looked at each other in a speechless manner.

When Xia Shuo and Sheng Yan were even more surprised when he saw the Hu Qi camp in Shanglinyuan galloping on horseback, he was even more surprised. The Gongwei was brave enough. Not only did he steal the Huns women as wives for the soldiers, but he also dared to let the Huns be the imperial guards in the capital. Although the Hu Qi camp only had bows and no crossbows, it was too dangerous. You must know that Xianyang City has no outer city walls. What should we do if these Huns cause trouble?

Gongwei and Xia said they were old acquaintances, but Xia said they had come and go several times, and as soon as they met, Gongwei laughed. But he had never met Sheng Yan. Seeing that the person in front of him who was about 30 years old this year was his in-laws, he felt it a bit ridiculous. He had just grown up and had a in-laws.

"When King Sheng Yan of the Western Chu king, seeing the Gongwei looking at him, he did not dare to act like a relative of his family, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

Gongwei agreed calmly. In front of outsiders, he still had to show his kingly power, even if this person was his relative. After they finished their salute, he smiled and nodded and said, "You two have come from afar, and you will be welcomed by mistakes. I hope you will forgive me."

"He dared not speak in unison with Xia.

"Come on, let's take a look at my Hu Qi camp first." Gong Wei laughed loudly and said, "Although these people are barbarians, they are not sure, their riding skills are really good."

Sheng Yan and Xia said that they had a rough impression just now. After looking closely, they were even more shocked. The Hu Qi battalion equipped with iron armor and hard bows was even better than the Qin and Zhao cavalry, which was famous for cavalry. The Gongwei was originally the dominant cavalry. The tiger and leopard cavalry had influenced the situation of the battle many times. Now they use the Huns who are skilled in cavalry as cavalry. Who else in the world can stop him? Yan Dai asked him for help. Could it be that he was to lead a wolf into the house?

"King, will it be possible to use the Huns as cavalry?" Xia Shi said carefully.

"This may be beyond Xia's expectations. Gongwei nodded and agreed with his statement, but then said: "But overall, as long as we can maintain our strength, we have enough strength to dissolve them, instead of being dissolved by them. He pointed at the soldiers of the Hu Qi Camp who were focused on practicing and said: "Isn't they robbed just to live a good life?

Erqin Du Qian gave them a good life and let them fight for me. What's wrong with it? Are you willing to live a life where you are in danger of danger and can only be eaten by wolves when you die?"

"But, can the king always give them a good life? Xia Shuo said with a smile.

"Can't give the people of my subordinates a good life, then can I continue to do it?" Gong Wei turned his head and looked at Xia with a smile.

, stone

Xia said idly and nodded repeatedly: "The king is right, the king is right."

"Hahaha," Gongwei laughed to the sky.

After watching the training of Hu Qi Camp, Gongwei told Xia to greet Sheng Yan in Shanglinyuan, and Lu Chen accompanied him. The four of them chatted and laughed. After some gossip, Xia said to explain the purpose of his visit.

Gongwei was silent for a while, and then said, "I am also very worried about the invasion of the Xiongnu invasion of Yan Dai. Although the Yan Dai is not my territory, it is all my Chinese people, and I cannot sit idly by. But you must also understand me. Now the King of Dongchu is a king. Should we ask him for instructions first? After all, if we join forces to deal with the Xiongnu, it will not be as simple as helping. Besides, we have to pass through Xiang Qiao's defense zone.

Sheng Yan smiled slightly: "King, my father has asked the Overlord for advice, but he has not received any reply yet. The King and the King of Dongchu are sympathetic to brothers, and I believe he will not object.

Gongwei didn't speak. He smiled and nodded.

Xia Shuo frowned and put down his chopsticks: "Your Majesty. You know, my king is not established by the overlord. It has been a day or two for him to annex Zhao Dai. If he goes to ask him for help, wouldn't he have a plan to know with the tiger? "

Gongwei vomited and smashed his mouth. He thought to himself and sniffed, and his brows frowned slightly. It seemed very difficult. Xia Shuo saw it and smiled slightly: "Master, I have a plan to solve this problem."

Gongwei raised his eyelids and looked at Xia who was smiling and silent. He thought for a moment and smiled: "Mr. Xia, please speak."

Xia said, straightened his waist, sat down, and drank another sip of wine to moisten his throat. Then he said with gaze, "The King of Eastern Chu was the overlord because he was the most powerful at that time and could lead all the heroes. By the same token, the overlord also had the responsibility to uphold justice and save dangers. Can he solve the difficulties of our Yan Dynasty? He couldn't even deal with Qi State. How could he send troops to Yan Dynasty to wipe out the Xiongnu? From the perspective of the minister, the one who can solve the problem of the Xiongnu in the northern border is the king.

Gongwei frowned and put down his wine glass: "What does Xia Jun mean?"

"Our Dai State, Zhao State is willing to form an alliance with the king with Yan State and support the king to dominate the king. The king is in Guanzhong, and uses me to replace the three kings of Zhao and Yan as a helper. In addition, the King of Han has always attached himself to the king. King Shenyang of Henan and King Yin of Yin Sima Yin of Yin have fought under the command of the king. There are seven seats in the world, which is half of them, which is enough to dominate the king. Xia Shuo looked at Gongwei with confidence, and showed a smile of ambition on his lips. This is the solution that Chen Yu thought of. Now only Gongwei in the world has the strength to deal with Xiang Yu and support Gongwei to dominate. It can break Xiang Yu's advantage. Compared with Xiang Yu, Gongwei is more generous and courageous. He is the overlord, and he will surely be safer. More importantly, if Gongwei agrees, then King Chen Yu of Dai will support Ran with justification, and he will be whitewashed from now on, and he will no longer have to worry about the attacks between Xiang Yu and Xiang Lun.

As for whether the Gongwei would agree, Chen Yu was very sure to dominate the world and lead the heroes. How many young people were unwilling to do so? Before coming, Chen Yu and Sheng Tu passed the news. Sheng Tu knew Xiang Yu's ambition to unify the world. Of course, he also tended to dominate the Gongwei. Gongwei and him had a marriage. If he had to recommend the Communist Party Leadership today, the Communist Party Leadership was obviously more suitable than Xiang Yu. Even if Gongwei, like Xiang Yu, was not satisfied with being a Communist Party Leadership, but wanted to be an emperor, it would be better than Xiang Yu to be an emperor. His retreat was much wider than Chen Yu. Since Chen Yu was willing to start this, why would he not do it? Therefore, although he did not agree to Chen Yu clearly, he did not object.

Although Sheng Yan did not speak at this time, he still held his ears and listened to Gongwei's attitude.

Gongwei put down his wine glass, and seemed very surprised: "To dominate?"

"Yes, dominate." Xia Shuo smiled: "We are willing to respect the king as the domineering king."

Gongwei closed his lips tightly, thought for a while, and shook his head: "This is a big deal, please let me think about it."

Xia said he was a little disappointed, but then he thought that such a big thing should really make him think about it. At least he did not refuse in person, which means he had already thought about it. So wait.

"This is the natural Xia said that he bowed and bowed.

"The two of you stayed in Xianyang for a few more days and smiled, and raised your glass attentively: "Come on, let's drink this cup together.

Xia Shuo was secretly happy. Seeing that Gongwei was like this, he wanted to dominate, and he only went out of caution, so he did not agree to him immediately. He also raised his glass and laughed loudly, "Please live for the king."
