Chapter 377 Da Yuezhi

This year's winter passes very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is the twelfth lunar month.

The New Year is approaching, and the entire Qin Dynasty is full of joy, and thousands of households are busy welcoming the arrival of the New Year.

During this twelfth lunar month, the canal project was suspended early and the holiday was on. Migrant workers rushed home, hoping to return home and have a happy reunion year.

Xianyang City, this huge capital of the Qin Dynasty, is naturally very lively, with lights and colorful decorations everywhere and joyful.

Grain production increased, tax reduction and exemption, and slack farming work, earned wages, so that every family had money and grain. As the New Year approached, they were busy buying New Year's goods and buying new clothes.

Of course, there is one thing that is essential, that is firecrackers.

Because setting off firecrackers and pasting Spring Festival couplets not only express people's wishes, but also adds to the festive atmosphere. Therefore, in today's Qin State, setting off firecrackers and pasting Spring Festival couplets has become a custom that everyone has agreed upon and is accepted and followed by every Qin people.

Fireworks are a high-consumption luxury for ordinary farmers in today's Qin State. Therefore, only some wealthy merchants will buy and set aside in large quantities.

Take advantage of the splendor of fireworks and vision of the splendor and beauty of the new year!

In short, the entire Qin Dynasty, the whole country, was busy preparing for the New Year celebration...

At the same time, there was no such peace and quiet in the southwest and northwest of the Qin Dynasty, and there was already a fire of war.

The Yuezhi tribe west of the Great Qin Dynasty was even stronger than the Donghu. For example, before Maodun killed his father and became independent, he was the Yuezhi as a stamina, which shows how powerful the Yuezhi was.

It is said that Yuezhi is known as more than 100,000 people who control strings, and can be regarded as the most powerful tribe on the grassland.

It is precisely because of his strength that the Yuezhi tribe's horses have always been herding, but they have arrogantly crossed the border to the Xiongnu grassland to grazed. Every winter, they will invade the weak Xiongnu and seize cattle and sheep for the winter.

However, this year is different.

Today, the Huns have become the territory of the Qin Dynasty. The northern kings have more than 300,000 guarded the border troops. No matter how powerful the Yuezhi is, they dare not cross the border.

The shrinking of the grassland and the inability to go to the Huns to fight the autumn wind as before, this also made the Yuezhi extremely difficult throughout the winter.

Coupled with the rapid strength and expansion of the Qin Empire, Yuezhi felt danger.

Because the Huns, Donghu, Sushen, and Fuyu were all unified by the Qin Dynasty, Yuezhi, who lived west of the Qin Dynasty, naturally worried that he would become the next target of the Qin Dynasty.

King Yuezhi was a king who knew how to be vigilant in times of peace. For this reason, he realized that if Yuezhi wanted to avoid becoming a Hun, the Donghu tribes had the same fate, so he could only quickly become stronger before the Great Qin cavalry took action against him.

So, the Yuezhi King made a decision to expand rapidly.

Attack the Qiang tribes to the south and the Wusun tribe to the west, so that the entire border of Daqin was in chaos.

Of course, it was just expanding southwest and attacking Wusun and Qiang. Although the purpose was to make Yuezhi stronger, while becoming stronger, Yuezhi was also worried, that is, it was worried that while attacking Wusun and Qiang, the Qin Dynasty would take the opportunity to attack itself behind the back.

If that is true, Yuezhi will be in danger!

Therefore, the entire Yuezhi tribe was worried about this.

…………

Yuezhi royal court.

At this time, the princes and ministers of the Yuezhi tribes gathered together and were discussing a countermeasure on this matter.

"Now my Yuezhi warriors, 30,000 warriors, 30,000 attacked Wusun in the west, and 40,000 attacked the Qiang tribe in the south. There are only more than 30,000 soldiers left behind in the royal court. If the Qin army attacks at this time, my Yuezhi will be in danger. You can have a good idea, why not tell me quickly?"

The Yuezhi King, who is nearly fifty years old, has a majestic figure and has a domineering spirit. However, at this time, there was a bit of worry on the original domineering face.

"Don't worry, Father, the whole country of Qin is now full of New Year celebrations, how can there be time to invade our Yuezhi? Isn't this the reason why our Yuezhi chose to attack the Qiang tribe and Wusun at this time? It's better to send ten thousand warriors to my son minister, who will support my second brother and destroy Wusun in one fell swoop. As long as the Wusun can be captured quickly, even if the Qin army decides to use troops to my Yuezhi, I, Yuezhi, will no longer be afraid!" The eldest prince obviously disagreed with the concerns of the Yuezhi King.

In particular, when the second prince led his troops to attack Wusun, he was left in the royal court and could not make achievements, he felt very unbalanced.

Although he is the eldest prince and the crown prince of the Great Yuezhi tribe, if he has no achievements, he will have no prestige in front of the leaders of various small tribes of the Yuezhi tribe. Without prestige, how can he be the King of Yuezhi in the future?

More importantly, if the Second Prince destroys Wusun and makes great contributions, it will also be a threat to himself at that time.

Therefore, the eldest prince is not worried about the Qin army's invasion at the moment. If he makes meritorious service, he is the most urgent thing in his heart.

Some officials also nodded, thinking that what the eldest prince said did make sense.

The Qin Dynasty, whether in the army or not, was busy with the New Year, and the possibility of sending troops to attack Yuezhi at this time was extremely low. If we could send more troops to Wusun and quickly conquer Wusun, we could resolve the possible crisis of war on three sides.

However, for King Yuezhi, it is related to the safety of the Yuezhi tribe. Any hidden dangers are worth worrying, so he shook his head and said, "Although my son is good, no one can guarantee that the Qin Dynasty will not take the opportunity to send troops to my Yuezhi at this time, so you must find a solution to it to be at ease."

Speaking of this, he did not forget to educate the eldest prince: "As the eldest prince, you will inherit the great cause of my Yuezhi tribe in the future. As the future leader, if you cannot be prepared for danger in times of peace, wouldn't you put the tribe in a dangerous situation?"

"What the father taught me is to remember." When the eldest prince heard this, he quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

At this moment, Yuezhi, the most skilled civil officials, came out and said: "King, the minister has a strategy, which may be useful."

"Oh? There are indeed wonderful strategies for the great people, tell me quickly!" The Yuezhi King was overjoyed.

Everyone also looked at the great masters and wanted to hear their opinions.

Dadanghuo nodded slowly and said, "As the saying goes, it is better to act first, and then to suffer. If you want to ensure that the Qin army is unable to send troops to my Dayuezhi, the only way is to take the initiative to take action against the Qin Dynasty."

"ah!"

When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar!

The master of the great family is the smartest person in Yuezhi and the highest-ranking civil servant. He is knowledgeable and talented. He has always been good at using strategies and strategizing, and no one can match him. But how could he say such stupid words today?

Take the initiative to attack Daqin...

This...is also a plan? This is clearly looking for death!

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Some people can't even believe their ears.

The Yuezhi King was also surprised, suspected that his ears were wrong, and said, "What did you say? Take the initiative to use troops against the Qin Dynasty?"

"No, my king is wrong." Dadanghu shook his head and said with a smile: "What I said is that taking the initiative to attack Daqin is not about using troops."
