Wu Tong brought his clothes for convenience. Everyone in the caravan was full of praise. The shopkeeper is the shopkeeper, and he is really particular about it. Every time it is convenient, he has to change his clothes, even in the midst of a hail of bullets and arrows. It is really surprising.

admire.

Not far away, three thousand Huns were almost killed by Wang Ben's men. Wang Ben's men also suffered heavy losses.

After all, it is still a bit difficult when one versus three fights to the death.

Now there are only a few hundred Huns left, surrounding the caravan.

They knew that these merchants could not die. If they died, the Huns would not be able to seize the Central Plains.

Wang Ben raised the sword in his hand and shouted: "Kill, no one will be spared."

Those Qin soldiers rushed up with disheveled hair.

There was sadness in the eyes of the Huns, and they felt that they might be buried here today.

At this moment, a violent sound of horse hooves suddenly came from not far away.

Everyone looked over there. They saw a group of ragged Huns, including men, women, old and young.

These people rode horses of different colors and rushed up in a chaotic manner.

It was the nearby Xiongnu tribe. They got the news that Shanyu's guests were attacked. The entire tribe, men, women, old and children, all came to help in the battle.

This is a ragtag group of people, but they can't stand up to the large number of people. Moreover, the Huns often hunt on horseback and have considerable fighting power.

Wang Ben looked at the caravan not far away, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go."

Then, he turned his horse's head and fled far away with the Qin soldiers under his command.

Killing Huaiguzi is important, but his own life is also important. Wang Ben is a general, not a reckless man, and he understands this very well.

He just didn't expect that a caravan would be guarded by thousands of Huns, and that there would be Hun tribesmen risking their lives to protect it.

It seems that Huaiguzi is very popular among the Huns.

The more Wang Ben thought about it, the more frightened he became.

By this time, Wu Tong had already changed his clothes.

He stood in front of the carriage and looked speechlessly at the Huns who were desperately resisting.

The Huns were so stupid that they just made up a lie and they believed it?

In fact, Wu Tong also thought a lot along the way, and he had already guessed it. In Li Shui's letter, there was nothing about Huashan praying for blessings, or about five thousand pig heads or five thousand bull heads.

Li Shui must have used some means to deceive Sha Tilie. But he just added a little more seasoning to Huai Guzi's feast.

Wu Tong looked at the herds of cattle and sheep, and he admired Huaiguzi even more.

While Wu Tong was deep in thought, the members of the caravan looked at him in awe.

The situation was extremely critical just now, but Shopkeeper Wu was unafraid, and even though Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, his face remained unchanged. Now that everyone has survived the disaster, they are very lucky. But Shopkeeper Wu remained silent and did not get carried away at all.

.

No wonder Shopkeeper Wu’s business has grown so big. No one else can match his ability to nourish Qi.

Three thousand Huns were beaten to pieces and were no longer enough to undertake the escort task.

So the nearby Xiongnu tribe invited Wu Tong and others to come as guests. And those Xiongnu soldiers were sent to the court of Shan Yu to rescue them.

Before the Xiongnu messenger set out, he found Wu Tong and said respectfully: "May I ask the Qin messenger who attacked us?"

Wu Tong glared and said: "I was attacked on the Xiongnu territory. How do I know who the other party is?"

The messenger said: "Looking at the clothes and hair accessories of those people, some of them look like Donghu people."

Wu Tong nodded in agreement and softened his attitude a lot: "I also think he is from Donghu."

The messenger added: "However, some of their habits are like those from the Central Plains. This... villain is a little undecided. Since the messenger is from Da Qin, the villain wants to ask whether they are from the Central Plains.

people?"

In fact, Wu Tong had already noticed that those people were definitely from Qin, and they spoke Guanzhong dialect so fluently.

But he couldn't admit that a group of Qin people appeared here and wanted to kill him. This kind of thing is very complicated. If the explanation is not clear and some unnecessary speculations are caused, it will be a big trouble for him.

After all, these cattle and sheep were all cheated. If Man Chanyu found out something was wrong based on some clues, he would not have to return to the Central Plains in this life.

It is better to do less than to do more; it is better to divert the disaster to the east and bring it to the East Hu people.

So Wu Tong said with certainty: "They are indeed deliberately imitating the habits of the Central Plains people. They are just imitating something specious. They only get their form but not their spirit. You can't tell, but we Qin people can see through it at a glance."

The envoy said thoughtfully: "So, the Donghu people deliberately pretended to be Qin people and attacked us. Want to provoke a war between the two sides?"

Wu Tong said: "It must be so. The people of Donghu heard that King Zuo Xian had a high prestige in Qin, and they must be afraid that the Xiongnu would merge with Qin. By then, wouldn't he, Donghu, be in danger? So he came to sow discord, and he only wanted to kill

After killing me, King Zuo Xian and the Qin Dynasty forged a grudge. In this way, Donghu can reap the benefits of the fishermen."

The envoy nodded vigorously and said, "Sir, what you said makes sense. I will report back to Shanyu immediately."

Then, the envoy rode a fast horse and galloped away towards Shanyu's court.

As for Wu Tong and others, they went to the Xiongnu tribe and entertained them with good wine and meat.

The Huns always treated guests the same way: wine, meat, and beautiful slave girls.

After the Central Plains people experienced it, they would always have only one thought: What the hell is this?

The messenger kept working day and night, and soon arrived at the court of Shan Yu.

Panting, he met Shanyu and said: "Donghu attacked the caravan and killed thousands of my Xiongnu descendants."

At that time, Shan Yu was drinking with the Yan family. When he heard this, he suddenly became furious: "The Donghu people are so brave. What happened to the Qin envoy named Wu Tong?"

The messenger said: "Wu Tong is safe and sound, and his men are also unscathed."

Shan Yu nodded: "Okay, if Wu Tong is saved, the world of Qin will be in my pocket. As for Donghu..."

The Yan family said from the side: "The Donghu people are so arrogant. If we don't teach them a lesson, they will definitely push themselves further."

Shanyu nodded slowly and asked Sha Tilie to be called.

Now the Chanyu attaches great importance to Shatilie and discusses all military and state affairs with him.

When Sha Tilie heard that the Donghu people attacked Wu Tong, he was furious. He felt that the Donghu people were really a troublemaker. If Wu Tong really died, Huaiguzi would definitely suspect that he had done it. By then, wouldn't his secret be the same?

Want everyone to know?

The Chanyu asked Shatilie: "My son, sooner or later the Chanyu's position will be yours. As a father, I have to listen. If you were the Chanyu, how would you handle this matter?"

Shatilie thought for a while and said: "We should send people immediately to escort Wu Tong back to the Central Plains. This time the number of people will be doubled."

Shanyu nodded. This answer was quite satisfactory. Then he asked: "Then what should the Donghu people do?"

Shatilie said: "Of course we will send troops to attack."

Shanyu frowned and said: "However, your brother Maodun is on a mission to Donghu. Wouldn't attacking Donghu at this time harm him?"

Shatilie's IQ suddenly exploded, and he said to Shanyu mysteriously: "Father, how do you know that Donghu's attack this time was not Moton's idea?"

Chanyu was immediately shocked.

Shatilie was a little proud. He suddenly discovered that dealing with Huaiguzi for a long time would help improve his IQ. Especially in making up lies, he made great progress.

He went on to analyze: "Father, think about it. Just as we sent Wu Tong away, the Donghu people came to attack. Why did they move so fast? This is obviously the internal support of the Donghu people in the Shan Yu Royal Court."

Shan Yu shook his head and said: "Absolutely impossible. How could I, a Huns, act as an internal agent for Dong Hu?"

Shatilie said: "Among the Xiongnu nobles, there are several people who have always been on good terms with Mao Dun. If they are unwilling to work as internal agents for Donghu, will they do so for Mao Dun?"

"After Mao Dun got the news, his first reaction was naturally to kill the envoy to prevent me from befriending the Qin Dynasty. Once I befriend the Qin Dynasty and capture the Central Plains, it would be an incredible feat for the Huns. He, Mao Dun, would never have a chance to compete with me again.

It’s Shan Yu’s place.”

"So he borrowed troops from Donghu to kill the Qin envoys and destroyed the relationship between the Huns and the Central Plains. Even...Father, he can borrow troops to kill the Qin people today. Will he borrow troops to kill the Huns tomorrow?"

Shanyu was startled: "Kill my Huns? Does he have such courage?"

Yan's eyes suddenly turned red and he said: "Why not? A few days ago, I asked the wizard of the clan. The wizard told me that Mo Dun looks like a human on the outside, but actually there is a wolf living in his heart. In the future, he will

Kill your father and marry your mother."

Shanyu's eyes became more and more gloomy: "So, if I don't pass the Shanyu position to him, he will kill me?"

Neither Yanshi nor Satile said anything.

The fire is already burning brightly, so there is no need to add more firewood.

Sure enough, after a while, Touman Shanyu made up his mind and said: "My son, you go and choose a brave general and order him to lead ten thousand cavalry to attack Donghu. Don't have any scruples."

Shatilie was so excited that he immediately agreed and hurried out.

Scruples? He had no scruples. He wished the Donghu people had killed Mao Dun.

Touman Shanyu sent out tens of thousands of people. They were divided into several teams. On the one hand, they were sent to guard and on the other hand, they were to escort two groups of Qin envoys.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the grassland suddenly became tense.

Such a tense atmosphere had a great impact on Wang Ben.

Wang Ben only had 500 people left, and their situation was very difficult.
