Chapter 117 Self-respect for raising pirates
Deep in the grassland, Wang Ben blocked the horse. He had already found clues about Wu Tong.
From the time they entered the Xiongnu controlled the place, Wang Ben was inquiring around. They walked through many Xiongnu tribes and found that the route of Wu Tong and his group was incredible.
It was twists and turns, and once even circled several circles around the Huns royal court.
This made Wang Ben feel that Wu Tong might really not want to meet Shanyu, otherwise the route would not have been so hesitant.
Now, he has been ambushed on Wu Tong's way back.
In fact, the Huns had large areas of barren land, and these places had no roads at all.
However, the water source is always fixed, and several water source points are connected in series, and routes can always be roughly marked.
Wang Ben divided his troops and lie on three roads. Once he found Wu Tong, he immediately reported the news and then killed him.
Wu Tong brought tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, so he would definitely not be able to walk fast.
When the troops were divided, Wang Ben specifically instructed them to pretend to be a Donghu people.
Those soldiers were in a dilemma. Everyone put down their hoes and was a farmer, and they were a soldier when they picked up their swords. These two identities can be switched freely. But dressing up as a Donghu people is a bit troublesome.
Wang Ben said: "This is very simple. You can just wear the clothes in a different direction on your body. Then you break your hair and tie it behind your head at will."
The soldiers said, "However, the Donghu people have many habits, and we may not be able to pretend to be too similar. After a long time, we will definitely be seen through."
Wang Ben said: "There is no need to pretend to be too similar, just pretend to be arguably wrong. You even have to deliberately create a feeling that the Donghu people dressed up as the Central Plains people."
"In this way, we will kill Wu Tong and disperse the cattle and sheep. The Huns will doubt the Donghu people, so as not to spread the news back to Daqin and Huaiguzi will doubt us."
All the generals said with conscience: "The general's magic tricks are so good that Huai Guzi will definitely die without a place to bury him."
Wang Ben smiled, and suddenly remembered that Wang Li came again. He sighed, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you guys go."
So everyone took the troops from the headquarters and left quietly.
There were only one thousand people brought out by Wang Ben. These thousand people were still in batches. Otherwise, the goal would have been too big and would have been noticed long ago.
Now a thousand people are divided into three waves. Each wave is only three hundred.
There are not many three hundred people, but killing a few merchants is enough.
After arranging everyone, Wang Ben dismounted, sat on the grass, and began to drink the wine he brought.
A young man next to him said, "Father, now my Wang family is in danger, what should I do? Even if I kill Huai Guzi, it will probably be useless."
Wang Ben looked at the person beside him and felt a little complicated.
This is his concubine's son, named Wang Heng.
This Wang Heng was born as a female slave. At that time, Wang Ben was just a mess after drinking.
The female slave had a very low status, so Wang Heng's status was naturally not much higher. Wang Ben had almost forgotten over the years that he had such a son.
He didn't like Wang Heng, but Wang Li was dead. Wang always wanted to find a successor. This time when he came to the Huns, Wang Ben also wanted to find a helper, so he chose Wang Heng.
Wang Heng was eighteen years old and was quite healthy. The other sons were either gentle or young, and were not suitable for this trip to the Huns.
Of course, Wang Ben chose Wang Heng, but he didn't want him to inherit his family business. More of it was to investigate. If he was not qualified, then give up as soon as possible to investigate others.
In other words, Wang Ben used the method of elimination to find a successor. Wang Heng was the first to eliminate him.
The preconceived annoying thing made Wang Ben not very happy to see Wang Heng along the way.
Now that he heard Wang Heng’s question, Wang Ben asked in dismay: “So, in your opinion, what should we do?”
Wang Heng clearly felt the anxiety in his father's words. Over the years, the warmth and warm feelings of Wang's family have long tempered his heart to be extremely sensitive.
But he did not reveal it, but tried his best to seize this opportunity and expressed his long-awaited answer: "The cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook, the birds are gone, and the good bows are hidden. If the six kingdoms are not destroyed and the world is not determined, how could Your Majesty be like this?"
"The danger of Wang's family is that my Wang family tree attracts great popularity. Although it is because Huaiguzi repeatedly slandered. The most important thing is that the general trend of the world has changed. This is the top priority. I dare to say that even if there is no Huaiguzi, your Majesty will suppress the generals in the next step after pacifying the world."
Wang Ben looked at Wang Heng with some surprise and thought to himself: "This guy has some little insight."
Wang Heng continued, "If I want my Wang family to make a comeback, it will be useless to kill Huai Guzi, and it will be useless to make friends with Zhao Gao."
Wang Ben asked, "Then what do you think is useful?"
Wang Heng looked around and everyone else sat far away. Then he felt relieved and whispered: "Help the enemy to respect himself."
"The last time in Xiang Lian, my father sent a spy to the south to investigate the news of Xiang Liang. The child thought that if Xiang Liang was found, he would never be arrested."
"It is best to secretly support him, give him money, food, soldiers, and weapons, so that he can have the strength to rebel."
"Xiang Liang hated me, Qin, and what he dreamed of was to destroy Qin and Chu. Once he got the troops, horses, money and food, he would definitely rebel. At that time, who would the court send to quell the rebellion?"
"Have you sent Li Xin? He has been defeated once in Chu. If the smoke of wolf in Chu is everywhere and the military situation is urgent, the best candidate that Your Majesty thinks of at this time must be my Wang family."
"At that time, my father will lead troops into Chu, and the Wang family will naturally be highly valued in the court. Once my father enters Chu, it is better to defeat Xiang Liang than to kill, and it is better to repel than to defeat."
"Although the war has not ended, the news of good news has been frequent. It has been delayed for a few years and will be postponed to the collapse of His Majesty's Mausoleum. It is reported to be located in Mr. Hu Hai."
"At that time, my father can calmly kill Xiang Liang, lead troops back to Xianyang, and become the pillar of the Great Qin Dynasty."
After Wang Heng finished speaking, he looked at Wang Ben with anticipation.
He had been thinking about this strategy for a long time and thought it was perfect. Now he only needed a affirmation. As long as Wang Ben recognized it, Wang Heng could use the Wang family's background to fully utilize his intelligence and talents.
Wang Heng's idol is Mengchangjun of the past.
Unfortunately, Wang Ben was not Jing Guo Jun. Wang Heng was waiting for it not to praise, but to slap it in the face.
Wang Ben was almost furious and smashed the wine pot hard on Wang Heng's head.
He drew out his sword, pointed at Wang Heng, and shouted: "Sir, how dare you say such words of destruction and destruction of the family and the clan."
When he lifted the sword, he was about to cut off Wang Heng's head.
The generals not far away were startled and ran over, stopped Wang Ben, and said, "General, you must not do this."
Wang Ben was both shocked and angry. When he looked at Wang Heng, he always felt that there was some vicious light in the young man's eyes.
"You must kill him, you must kill him." Wang Ben tried hard to push away the generals and waved his sword at Wang Heng.
At this time, a fast horse ran towards him, and the person on the horse shouted from afar: "General, General, found Wu Tong's traces, and found Wu Tong's traces."
The generals around him said, "General, killing Wu Tong is important."
Wang Ben was almost dragged by the generals and helped him to the horse. Wang Ben turned around and looked at Wang Heng hatred, then rode his horse and ran away.
Wang Heng looked at Wang Ben's back and his face became more and more gloomy.
He said nothing, but silently spread his hair and his clothes from left to right. Then he stepped on his horse and followed the team.
…………
Wu Tong was unaware of all this. He was busy doing business recently. He suddenly discovered that three thousand Huns were escorting him and his business was going very smoothly.
Those Hun tribes did not even bargain much, so they bought their things.
It is estimated that... these tribes thought that Wu Tong was sent by Shanyu. They were expressing their loyalty to Shanyu in a special way.
These days, not only Wu Tong was happy, but all the people under his command were also very happy. This trip made ten times the profit.
When Wu Tong brought them out, it was a cheating and threat. Along the way, they scolded Wu Tong very much.
But now, they found that Wu Tong was simply a god.
When doing business with the Huns in the past, how could it be so smooth? When encountering reasonable people, they can trade fairly, and when encountering unreasonable people, they can just rob the goods.
But who dares to do what this trip?
It would be fine to shock the ordinary Huns, but they were still in the royal court of the Shanyu and chatted and laughed with the Shanyu. This kind of thing can be played for the rest of their lives when returning to Xianyang.
Now that all the goods have been taken, there is no need to take a detour. Next, I will go back to my hometown directly.
Just as the caravan members were excited and tired, dust suddenly flew in front of them.
These days, the Huns who had been guarding each other were suddenly nervous and shouted loudly: Enemy attack, enemy attack..."
Then, they rushed out in a swarm.
The caravan was panicked and asked Wu Tong one after another: "What should I do?"
Wu Tong stroked his beard and said, "It's okay, the Huns are brave and good at fighting, and a group of thieves can still deal with it. Come on, bring my wine pot, and this shopkeeper wants to drink and watch the battle."
Everyone was impressed and quickly brought Wu Tong a wine pot.
The Huns had a large number of people, but their weapons were a little behind Wang Ben's Qin soldiers.
What's more, Wang Ben brought out all the Qin soldiers who had experienced many battles and the elite among the elite.
As for the Huns, these 3,000 people were more responsible for guarding, intimidating thieves and shocking the Donghu, and their combat power was not the highest.
So three thousand Hun soldiers defeated one thousand Qin soldiers. The Huns were killed and retreated step by step.
Wu Tong felt his legs were a little weak, so he said, "I want to sit down and watch." He sat down with the flow.
At this time, the Huns soldiers were retreating, and Wang Ben was approaching step by step. Some Qin soldiers were even eager to try to bypass the Huns and kill the caravans.
The people in the caravan were all frightened. Only Wu Tong looked indifferent and looked fearless. Everyone secretly admired him.
Suddenly, a sharp arrow rushed over, and with a buzzing sound, nailed to the caravan's ox cart, and next to Wu Tong.
