Chapter 12 Cognition

?The feast ended because of the unhappy martial arts competition. Some of the Qiang people rowed their boats back the next day, but most of them remained. The threat of the Qin people once made the Qiang people give up their ancestral land and move westward. The reason for moving westward was that their weapons and tactics were backward and they could not defeat the Qin people.

Either stay out of the matter and be expelled by the Qin army in the future; or they will attack Qin with the Chu army, obtain the techniques and tactics that are stronger than the Qin people, and compete for a place to live for their own tribes. There is no other choice during this period. Not only did the Qiang people have no choice, but also the tribe where Shi is located. They only went back a small number of people, taking the body of Shi, and the rest had to stay. If they left, they would be trampled on the soles of other tribes that had obtained the technology in the future.

The choice of the Qiang people made everyone feel relieved. The next morning, the Sima Mansion sent a message from the Great Sima Mansion. The Qin envoy had just left the Qiang land. He brought many beauties with pearls, jade, brocade, and silk. All signs indicate that the agreement between the two sides will be reached soon.

Everything was shocked and without any danger, but Dou Yuzhi once again raised the question that made Xiong Jing unhappy: "King, the Qiang people have no leader now. I would like to be the general of the Supreme Being. Chen Cangdao asked Cheng Tong to be the general and Linwu Jun assisted him."

"You want to be the general of the Shangji Dao?" After only more than a moment of war, Xiong Jing seemed to have fought hard for three or four days. Although he had a full sleep, he still felt very sleepy the next day.

"Yes." Dou Yuzhi nodded with certainty. "Otherwise, the left side will be in chaos."

"You are on the left side, Chengtong is on the middle side?" Xiong Jing was not only tired, but also his thoughts seemed dull. At this time, he thought that Dou Yuzhi mentioned Pang Nuan again. He didn't have the strength to object as firmly as the last time, and said: "I only allow Chengtong to be the general of Chen Cangdao. As for whoever he is a deputy general, I don't have to know..."

"Report to the King," Nao Xin came in again. The news he brought was more exciting to Xiong Jing's nerves than Dou Yu Zhi's request. "It is reported that the King of Qin has sent envoys to the Xiongnu, hoping to find a craftsman who had been detained before."

"Seriously?" Xiong Jing was shocked. During this period, the news of the Go Vala La kept mentioning saltpeter and many craftsmen from the Mediterranean, which gave him many bad associations. "The Qin people must not get the craftsmen back!"

He couldn't help but shout, but unfortunately others had no response. The news from the Huns was sent by Duan Quan, a big animal husbandry merchant, who could only fly to Yingdu and not return to the grassland. The matters in the Central Plains had to be passed on to Duan Quan.

"There is another thing." Nao Xin took a deep breath and said again. "Sulphur is here."

"Ah!!" This time, not only Xiong Jing was surprised, but Dou Yu Zhi and others were also surprised to see Nao Xin.

"Where is the sulfur?!" Xiong Jing reached out and asked anxiously. This accidentally affected the injury in his abdomen, and he groaned muffled.

"In Donghu." Nao Xin said. "I know that the officials of Liaodong have sent people from Donghu."

Although the Sogdians were cunning and bribery, since they received the silver coins of Chu, they could only keep the promises they had to transport sulfur. About half a month earlier than Ganluo, Meng Yi and others, the caravan set out from Sogdiana. At this time, Wang Ben led his army to attack Yan Dai, and there were many people who escaped from Zhao on the grassland outside the Dai land. The caravan knew that they could not go south, so under the urging of the guard cavalry Lu Yangyan, the group continued to go east and entered the Donghu territory.

The Donghu was east of the Xiongnu and north of the Yan Great Wall. The specific location of the Wangting was between Chifeng, Linxi and Tongliao in later generations. The Great Xing'an Mountains slowly came from the northeast, and were basically cut off when they arrived at Chifeng. The Yanshan Mountains were east-west, and their northern foot ended at Chifeng.

Beneath the two mountains, a lowland corridor connecting the Mongolian Plateau and the Northeast Plain was naturally formed, and the Silamulun River flowed in it. Regardless of ancient and modern times, this is a strategic location. Although the Donghu was nomadic, Wang Ting had been near the Silamulun River to control the various tribes in the east and west of the Daxinganling.

The State of Chu had no direct contact with Donghu, so naturally there was no resentment. There was no problem with the safety of the caravan entering the Donghu land, but the Qin people occupied Zhao Yan's land, so how to transport the sulfur outside the Great Wall back.

"Map." Xiong Jing calmed down and had to transport the sulfur back as soon as possible, even a small part of it.

Outside the Yan Great Wall, Liaodong County extends to the east of the Yalu River in later generations. Xiong Jing naturally thought of the Tumen River in later generations, but Liaodong is full of mountains, and the safest thing is to go north to Heilongjiang and go to sea from Heilongjiang or Songhua River. The water system in the northeast is not complicated, but unfortunately it is not depicted on the map, and Xiong Jing cannot remember it very clearly, but no matter how you go, it is very far away.

"I think people may be sent to the King of Donghu to the King of Donghu, and said that the King of Donghu would send troops to escort the sulfur at the Liaoshuikou, and agreed with the Zhou army that the geometry would be brought back." Seeing Xiong Jing at a loss, Naoxin gave his own suggestions.

"Good." There is no better way, only in this way can you get sulfur as quickly as possible.

"There is no shortage of Donghu horses, please give the Donghu army a thank you." Nao Xin said again, this is actually not my advice.

"Soldiers?" Xiong Jing hesitated for a moment, then said: "If the King of Donghu is willing to send troops across the Great Wall and enter Liaodong County to send sulfur to the mouth of Liaohe River, he can give three thousand sets of soldiers."

"I respectfully accept the order!" Nao Xin was overjoyed. The soldiers and armor were imported into the grassland tribes with great caution. Compared with the Huns who had already used iron tools, the Donghu still had copper soldiers and leather armor. Three thousand sets of huge iron armor were enough to allow the Donghu people to invade Liaodong County and escort sulfur to the mouth of the Liaohe River.

"This matter needs to be fast." Xiong Jing reminded that there are saltpeter and sulfur, which is a double happiness. Thinking of those saltpeter craftsmen, he said again: "I heard that the Huns had been in Donghu before, and asked the Donghu King to order the Huns to not hand over the craftsmen to the Qin people."

"Nei." Xiong Jing didn't mention this, and knew that his disciples, Hou Ji, would also mention this. Nao Xin agreed and left in a hurry.

As long as it is a place of trade for the sea boats of Chu, there will be spies who know the enemy. Behind the Qin army's attack on the city and Bayi, there are chess pieces left by the enemy. As soon as Nao Xin returned to Yingdu, he asked people from Liaodong to go to Donghu to secretly protect him from Yingdu. Through the Feixun, he sent all the way to Zhifu in Qi. The Vietnamese warships in Zhifu Port hurriedly left the port and sailed to Liaodong Bay on the other side of the sea.

When the Yue people's warships hurriedly left the port, the Qin envoy Wu Nu was already standing in the royal court of the Shanyu.

"The Great Qin and the Shanyu had no grudges." Wu Nu said loudly, "It was King Jing who attacked Qin from the grassland outside the border a few years ago and took away the King of Qin's wife. The King of Qin ordered General Zhao Yong to search for Henan. He was worried that the people of King Jing and Zhao attacked Qin from Henan again in the future, so he drove the various tribes in Henan out of Henan and occupied Yinshan again, and accidentally offended the Shanyu..."

Wu Nu was good at dealing with King Rong, and knew what they wanted to hear and hated. Sure enough, when he talked about the reason why Qin State invaded Diyin Mountain in Henan, he was surprised to hear King Jing seized the King of Qin's wife, including Tou Man. "Is there such a thing?"

"It's true that the King of Qin regards this as a great humiliation." Wu Nu nodded repeatedly. "Later, King Jing attacked Xianyang and burned the altar of the King of Qin to worship his ancestors, and burned the entire Xianyang. The Qin people died and injured countless times, which was an inhuman act."

"Then the King of Qin must hate him deeply." He stole his wife and burned the altar for his ancestors. From a fair standpoint, the King of Chu was indeed too much. Even if Touman regarded the Qin people as his enemy, it would not prevent him from judging these conflicts between Chu and Qin from a fair standpoint.

"But I heard," Wu Nu did not lie. He just intercepted the clips of the incident, which made people misunderstood. Duan Quan, the Da Shang present, couldn't help but remind him. "It was the King of Qin who burned the altar of the King of Chu before. It was not the King of Qin's wife who was snatched away by the King of Chu. It was the King of Chu who told the woman that she would be her queen, and then the King of Qin wanted this woman to be his concubine..."

"Slanderous words." Wu Nu opened his eyes wide, "This is the slanderous words of the Jing people. The Jing people have something called newspapers, which are full of slanderous words, and they especially like to slander the Qin people."

"Slanderous words? Sneer!" Duan Quan sneered at this, "There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent. She looks at the city and then the country..." He naturally recited a passage of Chu Ci. "This is the Chu Ci made by the King of Chu for that woman. The King of Qin has not yet married. Qin makes you lie, what do you mean?"

"I came to make friends with the Xiongnu for Qin." Wu Nu looked at Duan Quan, his eyes facing each other, and smelled the smell there. "Is it a Jing people talking to him everywhere? Is it an envoy of the Jing people? What's the benefit of allowing the Shanyu?"

"Although I am not an envoy of Chu, I believe in my words and never regret it." Duan Quan smiled. "Please know the Shanyu, and ask the chiefs of all ministries to know. The Qin people do not believe in God, and they cannot believe in his words even if they have a word."

"This is a slander!" Wu Nu became even more anxious: "The king sacrifices sacrifices to heaven every year, how can he not believe in God? If it were not for God's blessing, why could Qin become the overlord of the world?"

"The Qin people are greedy, violent, profit-loving, but not trustworthy, and they are worthy of believing in God. Qin and Chu were defeated in every battle, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain, and soldiers died hundreds of thousands of times. This is also the blessing of God?" Duan Quan laughed in anger. People who do not believe in God will not believe in him. This is the grassland cognition that cannot be reversed no matter how many benefits promise. This cognition also includes "one king cannot kill another king", otherwise God will punish him.

When he spoke, Lan Mo, the Xiangfeng, was also talking in Touman's ear, telling the facts he knew. With his advice, Touman's eyes began to look strange and eventually became cold.

"Please listen to my words." Wu Nui understood the customs and cognition of grasslands, and hurriedly spoke before Touman drove him out. "The people left by Shanyu were guests invited by the King of Qin from the extreme western country, and the master must protect his guests. If Shanyu was willing to return these guests, the King of Qin would return Yinshan to Shanyu. The two countries would be bounded by the river in the future. The land of Henan Shanyu can also be grazed, as long as the two countries reconcile forever, there will be no war..."
