The strategy proposed by Mao Dun was just a prototype. Let Shanyu lead all the troops and take the initiative to attack the Qin people.

Li Xin would have been shocked when he saw Shan Yu approaching fiercely and looking like he was about to fight to the death. He would then gather all his troops and fight to the death. At that time, Mao Dun would lead his men to defect on the battlefield, join forces with Shan Yu, and attack Qin from a flank.

With people, great things can be accomplished.

As for when the Chanyu will attack, where to attack, and how to attack from a flank, these details need to be studied further and cannot be decided at the moment.

After settling the envoys, Touman Chanyu called the leaders of each tribe.

Those people were a little uneasy about the strategy of cooperating with the inside and outside. After all, Mo Dun had betrayed many Huns recently. Who knows if he has completely turned to the Huns?

But if they don't unite with Maodun, the Xiongnu will be cannibalized by the Qin sooner or later, and they will eventually die.

In the past, we fought with the Central Plains people and promised that everyone would have enough food and clothing and live a good life for a while. If they lost the battle, they would flee far to the north. The Central Plains people would not be able to catch up, and it would be very expensive to stay stationed there, so they retreated after a few months.

Therefore, the Huns were almost naturally in an invincible position.

But it doesn't work anymore. Now the Qin people started to mine and began to immigrate people. In the past, it was not cost-effective for them to transport food all the way. But it is different now. It seems that they can still make money by using food to return ore.

Therefore, these Xiongnu nobles thought that cooperation with Maodun could be considered, but they must find out whether he really wanted to cooperate or had other plans.

Shan Yu said: "Of course we have to find out. Otherwise, not only will you suffer losses, but I will also suffer disaster."

The Xiongnu nobles nodded one after another, thinking that this was reasonable. Maodun was driven away by the Chanyu, and he followed the Qin people to do mischief. The person who hated him the most was the Chanyu.

It can be said that the father and son have turned against each other and have become sworn enemies. If Maodun is really deceitful, the first one to be killed will be his father. The rest of the Huns tribe is not guilty.

Does Modu really want to kill all the tribes and be alone on the grassland? This is obviously impossible.

After the nobles felt relieved, they began to actively make suggestions.

Some people said: "Li Xin is like a god with his troops. He is really powerful. We can't resist him. Even if we cooperate inside and outside, we may not be his opponent."

Shan Yu nodded in agreement, and then said: "We have already made good friends with Ji Ming. Why not let him spread rumors in the city, saying that Li Xin has disobedient intentions. The Emperor of the Central Plains will definitely become suspicious, and then put him

Recall him. In that case, maybe he can be replaced by a mediocre person."

The Xiongnu nobles clapped their hands one after another and said, "Isn't this a counter-intentional tactic used by the Qin people? Now we use counterintuitive tactics to deal with the Qin people. That's really wonderful."

Shanyu also smiled with satisfaction.

Later, those Xiongnu nobles asked: "After driving away Li Xin, who would be better to replace him? In the past, the Qin people used counterintuitive tactics and spread the word everywhere. They were most afraid of Zhao Kuo. As a result, the Zhao army was completely defeated."

Chanyu nodded and asked Shatilie: "You once went to Xianyang as an envoy. Who do you think is easier to deal with in Xianyang City?"

Shatilie no longer wanted to make suggestions now, and he could see that Chanyu always did the opposite of him.

He thought for a while and said: "I don't have much contact with other people. But I have met Wang a few times."

Shanyu asked: "Which Wang family?"

Shatilie said: "That's the Wang family of Wang Jian and Wang Ben."

Shan Yu was a little speechless. Fortunately, I had made up my mind a long time ago and would not listen to your nonsense. How many countries did Wang Jian, Wang Ben and his son lead the Qin soldiers to destroy? Their military exploits were great, even more powerful than Li Xin's.

If you want to replace Li Xin with Wang, is it because you think the Huns are not destroyed quickly enough?

Seeing Shan Yu's face, Sha Tilie was a little helpless. At the same time, he was also a little lucky: Fortunately, Maodun had surrendered to the Qin people, and his father had no other choice. Otherwise, my position as the prince would be really dangerous.

A Xiongnu nobleman said: "I also inquired about some news today and heard that the Wang family has fallen. Wang Jian is old and gets seriously ill from time to time. It may be a bit difficult to fight the enemy in battle. Wang Ben has been demoted to a commoner again, so I'm afraid he can use it.

The possibility is not very high. As for Wang Li, he was simply killed."

Shan Yu nodded: "That's all, let's discuss this later. Li Xin won't attack us for a moment or three. Send a message to Ji Ming first and ask him to remove Li Xin. There are also assassins he wants.

, and also sent them there, and if I kill Huai Guzi as soon as possible, I will feel at ease."

Several Xiongnu nobles nodded in agreement.

Chanyu walked out of the tent and found that it was already dark outside. The dark night was just like the Huns now. But... the sun would always rise again, and there was still hope for the Huns.

At this moment, Shanyu was filled with emotions and full of ambition.

…………

In Shangjun's courtyard, Wujiao found Li Shui and whispered: "Sir, there is news from the palace. Ji Ming plans to find someone to assassinate you."

Li Shui was a little unbelievable: "Really? A few days ago, Ji Ming was very respectful to me, giving me gifts and money all day long. He even wrote an extremely disgusting letter yesterday. Why did he want to assassinate me as soon as he turned around?

Already?"

Wu Jiao laughed dryly: "I don't know about this. Maybe I was pressing for debt too quickly."

Li Shui was a little speechless: "I've given him twelve periods, and he still thinks it's too urgent? This person is a bit of a wolf."

Wujiao asked Li Shui: "What should we do?"

Li Shui said: "Don't panic. If the matter is urgent, we will hide in the palace. But... Your Majesty is aware of every move of Ji Ming, so there is no need for us to be nervous. Who is the assassin Ji Ming has hired?"

When do you plan to assassinate me?"

Wu Jiao said: "They are Mongolians. They will arrive in about three days. After arriving, they will probably attack Shang Jun's courtyard."

Li Shui nodded: "Three days are enough time to prepare. I'm afraid that there are more and more assassins, and they won't be able to kill them all. It seems that I should go to the palace and ask your majesty to let Li Xin come back.

When the two of us are together, I feel much more at ease."

Wu Jiao said: "Now General Li has probably surrounded the royal court of Shanyu. Now that he is recruited back, the Huns will have a chance to breathe."

Li Shui thought for a while and said: "Then let's change the idea. I will go to the Huns and hide quietly in the army. The Huns should not be able to find them, right? When Brother Li breaks through the court of Shanyu, I may also have a share of the credit.

"

Wu Jiao gave Li Shui a thumbs up: "High, really high."

…………

Li Shui entered the palace. Ying Zheng seemed to have guessed his purpose and smiled at him: "What? I heard that an assassin is coming, and you plan to live in the palace permanently?"

Li Shui said righteously and solemnly: "I have been promised to Your Majesty and to me the Great Qin. A mere assassin is not enough to make me afraid."

"Not only should I not avoid it, but I must also face the difficulties. I will make great contributions to the Qin Dynasty and expand its territory. I ask for your permission."

Ying Zheng was a little confused when he heard it. He felt that Li Shui's words were indeed impassioned and made people's blood boil, but after listening for a long time, he didn't know what he was going to do.

Ying Zheng only needs to ask: "What are you going to do?"

Li Shui said with a serious face: "I want to go to the north to attack the Xiongnu."

Ying Zheng was surprised: "Are you going to fight the Huns?"

Li Shui nodded: "Exactly. Since the Huns want to assassinate me, then I will fight to the end with the Huns, kill their souls to pieces, and promote the prestige of our Great Qin. From now on, if the Huns hear the name of my Great Qin,

No. , I was so frightened that I never dared to have evil intentions again."

Ying Zheng shook his head: "No. You are too important. If you die in the north, I will lose a loyal minister."

Li Shui requested several more times, but Ying Zheng never allowed it.

He said helplessly: "Your Majesty, do I have to hide in the palace all the time? Wouldn't it make others laugh at me?"

A silent smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face, thinking: I finally told the truth. It turned out that I was worried about being laughed at in the palace.

He said to Li Shui: "Don't worry, if anyone dares to laugh at you, I will not spare him."

Li Shuigan laughed: "This... Your Majesty, if they laugh in their hearts, who knows?"

He also guessed Ying Zheng's concerns. He knew that after his death, the current prosperous situation of Da Qin would be broken, and the matter of refining the elixir would be in vain.

So Li Shui said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I am not really going to fight, but... I am hiding quietly in the army."

Li Shui told Ying Zheng his plan in detail. After listening to it, Ying Zheng felt that it made sense, so he reluctantly nodded in agreement.

After leaving Ying Zheng's study, Li Shui went to Poppy's palace and met Fu Yao and Wei Young.

Fu Yao heard that his master was about to go into battle to kill the enemy, and he couldn't help but be fascinated. Wei Young was a little nervous and asked Li Shui: "The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. What should I do if I am injured?"

Before Li Shui could say anything, Fu Yao who was standing next to him said, "What are you afraid of? My master is a genius and has great martial arts. Taking the head of a general in an army formation is like picking out an object from a bag."

Li Shui was a little speechless. Has this child heard too much about the Three Kingdoms?

He coughed dryly and said to Wei Yang: "Princess, there is no need to worry, Fu Yao... is right."

Under Weiyang's worried and admiring eyes, Li Shui said goodbye and left.

A quarter of an hour later, thanks to Wu Jiao's deliberate spread, everyone in the palace knew about it. Everyone in the palace was amazed at Li Shui's courage.

As for Ji Ming, he sneered at Li Shui's decision, feeling that Li Shui simply didn't know how to live or die. He was worried about how to let the assassins kill him in the tightly guarded Shangjun Courtyard, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to go to the border area.

Ji Ming quickly became busy. He first sneaked out of the palace, then contacted the Huns' contact, and then revealed the news that Li Shui was going to the North.

The Huns were also unambiguous, saying that although they could not defeat the Qin people in battle, they still had no problem assassinating a few people.

So... everything was ready, just waiting for Li Shui to leave Xianyang City.

The next day, Li Shui was ready to leave.

He didn't take many of the craftsmen in Shangjun Courtyard, and they still had to keep running. He only brought a hundred Qin soldiers. One hundred Qin soldiers were enough, because in the territory of Great Qin, the possibility of assassination was unlikely.

.

Since the assassin knew that Li Shui was going to the north, why take such a risk to enter Daqin? Just wait for him in the north.

In addition to the Qin soldiers, Li Shui also brought several people with him. The young eunuch Wu Jiao, the powerful Jing Fu from Guandong, and the alchemist Xiang Bo.
