Chapter 405 The Tranquility Before the Storm

Meng Tian wanted to capture the two Shanyu, Dayuezhi and Donghu, in one fell swoop, but the abacus was not finally made. These ethnic groups who lived on the grassland had a little bit of running away. Meng Tian's army on both sides of the left and right wings only caught some small fish in the end.

The Qin army with prisoners from the Chilang tribe retreated to Yuecheng. Although the Huns suffered more than 10,000 casualties, the batch of gold, silver and jewelry rewarded by Meng Tian could make up for the losses.

For seven or eight consecutive days, although the atmosphere on the grassland was tense, no war occurred. All the tribes of the Donghu people had been mobilized and were ready to attack the Qin army. The Dayuezhi still wanted to mediate as much as possible, but now the target of mediation has become Daqin and Donghu. However, if you want to mediate the war, you must first meet a prerequisite, that is, you must be stronger than both sides. Obviously, the Dayuezhi does not meet this condition. Yuecheng has now closed the door to thank guests. The Dayuezhi's envoy came several times, but they were all turned away.

The tranquility before the storm, the current scene is the tranquility before the storm, and Daqin will not suffer the loss of this muteness, so the longer the Daqin brews, the less it is good for Donghu.

Grassland, Huns.

At this time, in the Touman Shanyu's tent, the leaders of various Xiongnu tribes had already become a quarrel. When the war on the grasslands broke out, the Xiongnu became a popular commodity. At this time, the envoys from the Daqin, Dayue and Donghu all came to the Xiongnu.

The Qin side asked the Huns not to move lightly. If they were willing to send troops to help the Qin Dynasty, there would be a large number of rewards. The Dayuezhi wanted the Huns and Dayue to send troops to help the Donghu together, and at least they would act as the three tribes of the grassland advance and retreat together. As for the Donghu, they came to apologize to the Huns with a large number of gifts.

The ethnic groups on the grassland are just some people with strong physiques but no wise minds. In the Huns' tent, most of the leaders of the Hun tribes believed that they should send troops with the Qin Dynasty to wipe out the Donghu. First, the Huns at this time were resentful to the Donghu. Second, the large number of rewards promised by the Qin people were really tempting.

"Shanyu, let's fight. The Qin general said that as long as they only have the population of Donghu, the rest of the things belong to us?" The patriarch of the Xiongnu tribe shouted.

"That's right, the Donghu people did a business that was ineffective, and they must have accumulated a lot of wealth." Another Xiongnu patriarch agreed.

"The Donghu gangs have robbed our Huns caravans a lot. We can take revenge and revenge." At this time, most tribes in the tent had already expressed their agreement.

"Don't rush to make a decision. Let's take a look first. If the Qin army gains the upper hand, we will help the Qin army. If the war is stalemate, we will wait and see what the changes will happen." said Touman Shanyu.

The Huns are a popular commodity now, and the Touman Shanyu still wants to wait for the price. Entering the game too early is too risky for the current Huns. If it is not good, it will cause the disaster of extermination. If the situation is clear, entering the game. Although the gains will become smaller, what you want is the word "stability".

Yuecheng, the meeting hall.

"Marty, Touman has suffered too many casualties in his tribe and needs rest and refuses to send troops for the time being, but he also guarantees that he will not send troops to help Donghu." Meng Tian told Li Chen the reply from the Xiongnu.

"Dong, dun, dun."

"Touman is a smart man. As expected, there are still some tricks to be a part of the Xiongnu Khan."

Li Chen tapped the armrest of the chair and thought in his heart.

The strength on the grassland is mixed. In addition to the Dayue, Donghu and Xiongnu tribes on the Hetao Plain, Li Chen also had to beware of Kushan, Lou Fan and so on in the distance. The reason why Li Chen did not send troops these days was that he wanted to win over the Huns first and break the alliance between the Hetao tribes first.

In order to win over the Xiongnu and send troops to attack the Donghu, the reward promised by the Qin Dynasty was very generous. It was almost equivalent to the Qin Dynasty doing all the dirty and tiring work. The Huns beat the drums from the side, but gave most of the benefits to the Huns.

However, the Huns did not agree to send troops, and the whole situation would be full of uncertainty. Once the Huns were persuaded, the three tribes of Dayue, Xiongnu and Donghu would unite, and the war would inevitably be stalemate. Once the Qin Dynasty could not win in a short period of time, Kushan and Lou Fan, the grassland clans that were farther away, would inevitably end.

For Daqin, it is now a situation where the arrow is on the string. Li Chen finally directed a good show, which gave Daqin another excuse to send troops to Donghu. But now it is a bit difficult to make a fortune. The restraint of Touman Shanyu caused a lot of uncertainty in the entire plan.

"That's the old turtle that Touman can suppress the various tribes of the Huns. Why not let's put Touman..." A general under Meng Tian made a neck wiping action.

Meng Tian also looked at Li Chen, as if asking for his opinion.

Whether it is the Donghu, Dayue, or the Xiongnu, they are actually just very loose tribal civilizations. The Shanyu is the only one who can restrain the existence of these tribes. Once the Touman Shanyu dies, the Xiongnu will naturally be without a leader.

"Dong, dun, dun."

Li Chen tapped the table and was thinking about the feasibility of this method. Soon, he rejected this method. Now the beheaded Man Shanyu is really more harmful than good to Daqin.

"Mr. Marquis, I have a way." Meng Tian said after thinking for a moment.

"Oh, what good is there for Coach Meng?" Li Chen asked. Meng Tian was the one who knows the most about the grassland among the Qin generals. He has the most say in how to deal with these grassland nations.

"Touman is the communist ruler of the Hun tribes. If he doesn't talk to the Hun tribes, he will not be able to form a coalition force. However, we can bypass Toman and let these Hun tribes attack the Donghu tribes." Meng Tian pondered.

"Meng Shuai, what are you going to do?" Li Chen asked.

At this time, Meng Tian stood up and came to the map. He pointed to the map and said, "Now the Donghu tribes have formed a coalition force, and the position of the coalition forces is roughly on the front line of Fenglang Valley. If we want to attack Donghu, we can only attack from the front. The Huns bordered the Donghu army, and at this time, all the Donghu army was concentrated on the front, and the tribes behind were all elderly, weak, women and children."

"Although Touman did not agree to raid Donghu from the rear, if we promised to capture a Donghu woman and children alive, we would give ten taels of silver, and a Donghu cavalry head, we would also give eight taels of silver. As long as the silver is in place, the Hun tribes will inevitably break the Donghu defense line from the rear. At that time, the Donghu cannot take both the front and back, and it will be time to take down the Donghu in one fell swoop." Meng Tian breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

"Good way, just do it." Li Chen made the decision.
