Qin Official

Ju Wu was not young anymore. When he was fifty years old, he chose a cemetery for himself outside Shangdu in Yan State. It was a quiet hill covered with wolfberry trees. In Ju Wu's imagination, he would be buried here after his death, lying near the ancestors of the Yan Kingdom and sleeping at the feet of Ju's ancestors, waiting for the vegetation to wither and the white snow to fall every year.

White, that is Yan people’s favorite color.

However, Ju Wu did not expect that when his beard and hair were about to turn gray, he would lose everything. He was really like a bereaved dog, running around outside the fortress, feeling the frost and snow that was colder than the land of Yan, and his days were like years.

He was once a wise Taifu, and he analyzed the situation of the world to Prince Dan very clearly: The land of Qin spreads all over the world, threatening the Han, Wei and Zhao families. It has the solidity of Ganquangukou in the north, the fertile land of Jingwei in the south, and it is good at the Bahan people. On the right is Long In the mountains of Shu, the dangers of Zuoguan Yao, the people are strong and the soldiers are strong, and there are many soldiers and revolutions. There are some ideas, so the south of the Great Wall and the north of Yi River have not been determined. However, seeing the resentment of the mausoleum, I want to criticize him for his rebellion. Scales?

In Ju Wu's view at that time, the general situation of the world had been decided, and the best policy for Yan was to respect Qin and survive.

But Prince Dan ignored his choice, and even did not adopt Ju Wu's central strategy of uniting the Xiongnu, Jin, Qi, and Chu to resist Qin.

So, I had no choice but to take the next step and assassinate the King of Qin...

The result was catastrophe.

Within a few months, Ju Wu lost everything: his old friend Tian Guang committed suicide to provoke Jing Ke to go to Qin, his wife and children died in Wang Jian's battle to capture the city, his beloved disciple Prince Dan was beheaded and sent to the Qin palace, and Yan, who had been kind to him, Wang Xi became a prisoner, and the state of Yan was destroyed for eight hundred years...

The once sensible Taifu had turned into a depressed old man surrounded by revenge and rage.

The Huns who often plunder the border are indeed annoying, but Qin Shihuang, the Qin State, and the Qin people are more hateful than the Huns in Ju Wu's eyes. It would be great if they can be allowed to bite dogs!

Right now, he must prompt Touman Shanyu to kill these merchants and let Qin and Hungary go to war immediately!

He was old and could only use this method to retaliate against Qin.

Sure enough, with Ju Wu's words, Touman Shanyufu looked at Chen Ping again, and Wu Shiyan, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, became nervous again!

But Chen Ping once again exceeded Ju Wu's expectations. He calmly took off the small official's seal from his waist, as well as the identity sheet, and asked the Huns to bring it to Shan Yu's case. .

This is a fake identity and seal made by Heifu. Chen Ping's pseudonym Zhang Ping is clearly written on it. Although the Huns can't understand it, every detail has been considered.

Chen Ping cupped his hands and said:

Although it is just a routine business trip, it is related to the friendship between the Qin and the Xiongnu states. I must not be careless and choose me as a planner because I have some eloquence.

He raised his head proudly: Although Ping Lu fights for food, he is also a registered Qin official with his own merit review!

It's easy for a Shanyu to kill a Qin official, and it's even easier for a cautious merchant to accompany him. But if the emperor knows about it, he will definitely regard it as the humiliation of the Qin Dynasty by the Xiongnu!

By then, the millions of Qin troops that Master Ju keeps talking about will really come to Mancheng!

The reason why Chen Ping dared to say this was because they were officials and businessmen, and they had the support of a huge empire behind them...

Chanyu! This boy is so rampant, we must not let them go! Ju Wu took a step forward.

But Touman Shanyu also showed his hands, telling Ju Wu not to say anymore, he had his own thoughts.

In the early years, Ju Wu also joined the Xiongnu, and told the story of the lips are dead and the teeth are cold to persuade Touman to save Yan and Dai. But Touman only sent troops to take a look at Daijun. He found that the Qin army was attacking fiercely and Dai had no ability to resist, so he wisely withdrew.

Although Touman knew little about the mainland, he had heard that the population of the Xiongnu was not as large as that of a county in Qin.

And Qin has thirty-six counties and millions of soldiers!

Darling, thirty years ago, a single Li Mu of Zhao State was able to defeat his father, and the Huns almost collapsed. Touman and his generation are still particularly afraid of the name of General Li.

And the unified Qin was five to ten times as powerful as Zhao, how could he afford to offend him?

Today is different from the future. The Xiongnu is not yet the empire that covers thousands of miles. Although its strength can rival the Yan Kingdom, it is only one of the three heroes of the grassland. Donghu is strong and the Yueshi are prosperous, and the servant tribes in Henan are also restless. Touman is not interested in places where horses and sheep cannot be herded, and he has no ambitions that are too far ahead of the times. He will not be arrogant enough to rashly start a war with the powerful Qin...

Not to mention that there is currently no conclusive evidence that Qin wants to attack the Xiongnu. Even if there is, Touman would not dare to take the initiative to turn against Qin.

So he smiled:

The guest is right. I am the Chanyu of Gutu, the king outside the Great Wall. And the First Emperor of Qin is the Emperor of China. Each of the two sides guards their territory and does not interfere with each other.

The grassland government has always bullied the weak and feared the strong. As a weakling, he did not have the power to start a war. Touman Chanyu was also old and only wanted to maintain the status quo.

Chen Ping and the others were lucky. The news of Qin Shi Huang's establishment of Jingbian Temple in Yanmen and Daijun had not yet reached Touman City. At least Chen Ping was not tricked to death by his master...

After Touman hesitated for a long time, he still asked someone to take the angry Ju Wu down to rest, put on a smiling face, apologized to Wu Shiyan, and said it was a misunderstanding. Finally, when everyone was leaving, he asked The translator asked Chen Ping a question.

How many people are there in China who are as powerful as you?

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, then showed a humble smile and bowed:

The Central Plains is rich in resources and has outstanding people. There are thousands of Qin officials who are smarter and more capable than me!

…

When leaving the boundary of Shanyu Wangting, Chen Ping was still leisurely and leisurely. He was sitting in the car alone, revising a few pieces of paper, as if he was writing a letter?

But when they were only a few dozen miles away from the Qin-Hong Kong border, Chen Ping immediately rushed to Wu Shiyan and said to him hastily:

Scatter the useless cattle and sheep, throw away the excess goods, ride the light chariots, and drive the horses faster! Get away from the Huns as soon as possible!

Then we will return empty-handed from this trade? U Thiyan was shocked.

It's better than losing your life. Chen Ping said, looking back in the direction of Shan Yuting with a worried look on his face.

Wu Shiyan understood: Mr. Chen, you think the Shanyu will regret letting him go and send people to hunt him down?

Chen Ping said: Shan Yu is greedy and has no relatives. Who knows if he will become suspicious again. Furthermore, Ju Wu also has a group of exiled people from Yan and Zhao around him. If he sends people to pursue him, we are no match for him. Why not Escape lightly.

Seeing that Wu Shiyan was still reluctant to part with the cattle and sheep he had exchanged, Chen Ping urged him: The cattle, sheep and horses we exchanged in Helan have been sent back to the north. This trade is no longer a loss. Besides, , Profit is not the purpose of this journey. The Xiongnu mountains, rivers, roads, and tribal population have all been recorded in my heart. This information is far better than ten thousand cattle and sheep! How can I return empty-handed? Wujun, please make a decision quickly!

Wu Shiyan hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind. After all, they were able to escape from Shan Yuting only because of Chen Ping's wit. Now that they are not out of danger, it is better to listen to him again...

But in the team, an evil young man accompanying them was not happy and refused to abandon the cattle and sheep they had obtained in exchange. He even muttered to Wu Shiyan that they should leave first.

This merchant was also an old man who had worked in Wushi for ten years. Wu Shiyan was still trying to persuade him, but it didn't matter. After waiting impatiently for a while, Chen Ping suddenly asked the two black men who had arranged for the cavalry beside him. shouted:

Kill this man!

In Wu Shiyan's astonishment, the crossbow machine was like a thunderbolt. The soldier and merchant had two crossbows pierced on his body. His eyes widened in disbelief, and he immediately fell off the horse heavily.

Mr. Chen, what do you mean!?

Wu Shiyan was holding the old man's body, shocked and angry. He was shocked because Chen Ping, who was gentle and elegant along the way, suddenly became so cruel. He was angry because Chen Ping killed someone without consulting him!

Nothing else, just get rid of the black sheep! At this critical moment, you can only offend!

Chen Ping responded coldly with a sentence from Zhuangzi, and then ordered everyone to act as planned immediately, release the cattle and sheep, and throw away the cumbersome goods.

At the same time, he stopped Wu Shiyan from collecting the body of the deceased, walked forward, stuffed the letter he had been writing on the road into the deceased's clothes, and then had someone abandon it where he was, pretending that he had been robbed and killed. appearance……

Why is this? Wu Shiyan became more and more confused about Chen Ping's behavior.

This is a thank you gift to Touman Shanyu. Doesn't Ju Wu want Touman Shanyu to go to war with Qin? I will help him!

Chen Ping's smile still makes people feel like a spring breeze, but in Wu Shiyan's ears, it feels like the wind is whistling...

After abandoning the cattle, sheep and the dead, the group galloped lightly, with the help of carriages and horses, on the flat grassland, traveling nearly a hundred miles a day, and finally arrived at the border guarded by Yunzhong County soldiers.

Behind them, as expected by Chen Ping, a group of Xiongnu Qingqi arrived belatedly, but they could only watch Chen Ping and the others enter the pass. They stood outside the fortress and stamped angrily. In the end, they could only carry the deceased and Chen Ping who were intercepted halfway. Ping deliberately left a letter and went back to deliver it to Touman.

Touman Shanyu really regretted it...

Wu Shiyan was overjoyed, but she didn't know that after Qin Shihuang left Yunzhong recently, the news that the Jingbian Temple was established in Daibei finally reached the court of Shan Yu! It was confirmed that the Qin Dynasty was interested in foreign affairs. Under Ju Wuyitong's persuasion, Touman repeatedly sent people to pursue him.

Everyone praised Chen Ping and thanked him endlessly, but Chen Ping just looked at the smoke outside the wall that would soon be billowing, and sighed:

Sigh, even though I have learned from Taoist Huang Lao, at this critical moment, I can only achieve meritorious deeds through estrangement conspiracy...

…

Two days later, the letter Chen Ping deliberately left was delivered to Shanyu Ting and Touman Shanyu's main account.

Shan Yu had a sullen face and asked Ju Wu to open it and read it. Ju Wu unfolded it and took a look. Although he didn't know much about the word Qin, he read a few lines and thought something was wrong.

This was actually a letter written in the voice of Prince Modun, asking merchants to write it for him, and writing it to Emperor Qin Shi Huang!

Chanyu, this trust is really strange. I'm afraid it's a treacherous plot by the Qin people. Don't trust it at all!

Ju Wu immediately asked for words, but Tou Man's expression suddenly changed when he heard that it was a letter written by his son to the people of Qin.

read!

Before reading the letter, Touman Shanyu was already filled with doubts. Since Ju Wu didn't speak for a long time, let others read it!

Prince Maodun of the Xiongnu wishes to ask the Emperor of China how the Emperor is doing well...

My father, Touman, dotes on the Yan family in the Western Regions, and treats his eldest son Mao Dun indifferently. He wants to abolish the eldest son and establish a younger one. It is not the son who is unjust, but the father is unkind! Mao Dun is afraid of being harmed by him. He is willing to annex Da Qin, buy the emperor's soldiers, and serve as the emperor's south. Lianloufan, Baiyang, and Linhu, Xijie Yuezhi, Donghe Donghu, and fight Touman together!

Along with the trembling translation sound, Touman Shanyu's expression changed from disbelief to inexplicable shock!

When things are done, the land of Henan and Jiuyuan are all dedicated to the emperor. I hope the emperor will give Yinshan and Hetao to Maodun and make him the lord of the Huns. Maodun is willing to change the name of Great Chanyu established by Heaven to Little Chanyu established by Qin ', the Xiongnu will serve as slaves and maidservants to Qin's vassal states from generation to generation, and will never betray!
