"Since that's the case, my Shanyu naturally wanted to invite Xiang Yu to my Xiongnu territory first, and then talk about the others!"

At this moment, Maodun seemed to have regained the cheerful demeanor of the Xiongnu Khan. He suddenly stood up and stepped forward and patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder. At this moment, he did not discuss with anyone under his command, even if he had decided on this matter.

"Chhanyu, I wonder if the Chanyu can agree to the requests I made before?"

Zhang Liang is a cautious person. Maodun said to let Xiang Yu come before, but he didn't say that you can come here just because I can satisfy you all the requests you made.

Zhang Liang must not be able to do something about going back and inviting Xiang Yu to such an unknown person. Otherwise, if you get here and ask questions, Zhang Liang will be playing this time.

"Can you agree? I have never seen Xiang Yu before, so how can I decide? Furthermore, if Xiang Yu really wanted to go to Yuezhi, why would you take a detour to the four battles of the Huns?"

The meaning of Maodun's words is quite obvious. Although I am a Hun, don't fool me. If you really want to join Yuezhi, then I'll be done if you go nearby? Why should you send such a brother to me so hard to talk to me?

As he said so much, Zhang Liang knew that Maodun Shanyu was not as easy to talk to as he and Fan Zeng had imagined before they came. Even though he had seen his desire for the Qin Dynasty in his eyes, he still did not fully agree with the conditions he had put forward.

This situation has actually been in Zhang Liang's mind. No matter how powerful you are, you can pack Xiang Yu like a flower. But in fact, Xiang Yu only brought the remaining six or seven thousand people with him?

As for what you said, Xiang Yu was a powerful general. Maodun didn't see them fighting with his own eyes. Of course, it was impossible for him to accept everything with your side words.

Otherwise, when Xiang Yu really arrived, he would not do anything and not eat enough, the Xiongnu Khan would have to put you, a Central Plains man, on a piece of territory to offer you, and there would probably be no place for Maodun's face.

"The Shanyu is cautious, and we naturally understand it, but I think that after my son arrives at the territory of the Huns, he will definitely not disappoint the Shanyu!"

If Zhang Liang begs grandpa and sue him here at this time, it will be a bit different, so Zhang Liang knows that it is time to stop.

"Don't act rashly after you reach the territory of the Yuezhi. I will send a team of people to support you. You can return with our Hun army. Otherwise, once a war broke out with the Yuezhi first, don't blame the Shanyu for standing by."

Before Zhang Liang left, Maodun's words also made Zhang Liang feel moved. To be honest, the Huns they knew in the Central Plains were all the masters who drew their swords when they had disagreements, and Maodun seemed to be quite taboo about having some random and meaningless wars with his neighbors.

In Zhang Liang's eyes, there are only two possibilities. The first is that Maodun is not a ruthless person. Although he has a lot of soldiers in his hands, he wants to live his life safely on his own acre of three-point land.

As for the other one, Maodun's scheming is still very deep. What he wants to do will not show any flaws in advance, but in the end, he will definitely achieve his goals.

He was sent to the border of the Huns by two generals of the Huns and brought back a letter from Maodun to Xiang Yu. Zhang Liang thought about it all the way. Such a Hun Chanyu was not sure whether it was a good or a bad thing for Xiang Yu, who had very great ambitions in his heart...

After the two Hun generals sent Zhang Liang away, they did not leave, but told Zhang Liang and the others that they would go to discuss with Yuezhi about releasing Xiang Yu's men. Ten days later, Xiang Yu knew that he could lead his army to the place where Zhang Liang and they parted.

Zhang Liang still had no doubt about Maodun's ability. The power of Yuezhi was indeed a little weaker than that of the Huns. Moreover, Yuezhi did not have the same habit as the Huns, so he had to try to plot against the Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, in Yuezhi's eyes, these just a few thousand people who escaped from famine, are really useless. Apart from wasting a lot of food, they seem to have no positive effect.

So when Zhang Liang returned to Xiang Yu and handed Maodun's letter to Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu had almost no hesitation. He waved his hand and led his army to head in the direction of the Huns.

In fact, if it weren't for the fear of crossing the Yuezhi territory directly in case of war and causing the few soldiers under his command to lose a lot, Xiang Yu would have gone directly by himself.

Now that Maodun agreed to lead his army and helped him to open up the gap between the Yuezhi and the Huns, Xiang Yu naturally had nothing to fear.

As for Maodun, he did not agree to Zhang Liang's conditions at that time, that was something Xiang Yu had thought of long ago. If it were Maodun, he believed that he would not have come up and even accepted Xiang Yu's face without even seeing it. Otherwise, he, a Shanyu, would not be very good.

The generals under his command knew Xiang Yu's determination, so at this moment, they could only follow Xiang Yu's pace. As for what would happen after arriving at the Huns, they could only respond to changes in the same way as they remained unchanged.

"Shanyu, that Xiang Yu only carries less than 10,000 people and horses, and is not my race. If he reaches the territory of our Huns, he will have some wolf ambitions..."

Maodun's decision was naturally not understood by all the leaders of the Huns.

It is true that they all want to break into the Great Wall, but one thing is that they are not as good as the Central Plains people who look a little different from themselves, but they are not as good as their Shanyu mentality.

"I, the Huns, have hundreds of thousands of cavalry, are you afraid that less than ten thousand people in the Central Plains will have wolf ambitions?"

Maodun said just like this, and after he finished speaking, he stared at the leaders of the tribes standing in front of him. He immediately lowered his head.

The leaders of these tribes were thinking secretly that you are so tough now. Why didn’t you see you as tough as you are now when the Donghu envoy came to ask for the good horses of our Huns?

But in front of Maodun, none of them dared to show such an idea. The reason is very simple. Even if two or three of them join together, they will definitely not be opponents.

Moreover, Maodun's ability to command troops was tested on the Huns for a long time.

The reason why Maodun was bullied by the King of Donghu was like that, but the generals and tribal leaders under his command were still willing to call him Shanyu because they knew that Maodun's ability was too great. Not to mention anything else, since Maodun became this Shanyu, the population of the Huns was more than before.

Although the Huns would invade this neighbor at any time before, or harass that neighbor, they did not think so in their hearts. The Huns were also humans, so they had to marry a wife and have children in the territory of the Huns.

Which Hun soldiers didn't want to live a warm life with their wives and children every day? It's just that they're used to it and it's hard to stop. But Maodun really has the ability to stop them, so they basically won't risk their lives to refute what Maodun decided.

"Where is the position that Shanyu wants to arrange Xiang Yu and the people under his command?"

Although the territory of the Huns was wide, it was occupied by tribes in almost the same place. Thousands of people came suddenly, but there were nothing at all, but these thousands of people were all soldiers, and there were very few women and children. Once such a group of people arrived on the territory of their tribe, would they have to snatch all the resources in the territory?

Not to mention that the pace of winter is getting closer and closer now. The leader of any tribe does not want Maodun to arrange these thousands of people to his territory, but they are embarrassed to say it in front of Maodun.

Maodun could not see the thoughts of these tribe leaders. He just smiled slightly and stood up.

Behind him was a map drawn with a huge piece of animal skin. Although the lines were definitely not as delicate as Ying Gao hung in Xianyang Palace, it was quite delicate for the Xiongnu.

Maodun didn't say anything, and his fingers directly touched an area on the map, and then looked back at the leaders of the tribes standing behind him, the meaning of which was self-evident.

When these people saw Maodun move, they rushed forward and looked forward to see if this place was within their territory.

But when they saw Maodun's finger clearly, they all breathed a sigh of relief. When they looked at Maodun again, they all smiled a lot. Obviously, this result still made them very satisfied.

"I am the Chanyu of the Xiongnu, not the Chanyu of the Central Plains. When Xiang Yu led his army here, you must be treated with courtesy. If anyone leads his army to conflict with that Xiang Yu, causing the loss of my Huns, who will appear on the flag outside my big tent!"

The things that satisfy them were also done, so the next thing must be done to make them scared. Sure enough, as soon as these words were said, the smiles on the faces of many tribal leaders were condensed. Obviously, these people didn't hold anything in their hearts before.

Although the Xiongnu generals were threading needles and threads during this journey through the territory of Yuezhi, it was by no means easy. The months of traveling in the territory of Daqin were all summer and autumn. At least in terms of climate, Xiang Yu and his army could barely accept it. When he evacuated, Xiang Yu almost took away the military rations of tens of thousands of troops around Shouchun at that time.

But at this time, Xiang Yu's army had no military rations. Everyone was hungry, saving their energy, and moving forward slowly.

It took more than half a month to finally arrive at the territory of the Huns for the first time in his life.

What surprised Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu was that not long after they stepped into the territory of the Huns, a large number of black cavalry appeared in front of them, which made Xiang Yu think it was Donghu or Yuezhi who came to attack the Huns and let him catch up.

But Zhang Liang pointed to the pair of men's flags and told Xiang Yu that it was not the 50,000 most elite cavalry of the Huns under Maodun personally led him.

"Will this guy Maodun come here to greet the major general in person?"

Behind Xiang Yu, Long Qi and Zhongli and others were already discussing that if the Huns' Shanyu really came out to greet Xiang Yu in person, Xiang Yu would be quite respectful, and after he arrived in the territory of the Huns, his status would definitely be negligent.

But Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang looked at each other and looked at Xiang Yu again. The expression on their faces was not as optimistic as the dragon behind them.

Xiang Yu stood up immediately, stared at the dark Hun cavalry in front of him, and sighed in his heart. He knew that if the thousands of people behind him were facing such an enemy, there would be no way out.

"Sir, go and see what Maudun wants. If he really welcomes him, he wouldn't have carried so many people, right?"

Obviously, Xiang Yu also saw that the visitors of these people were not good. He looked at Zhang Liang. At this time, of course someone had to come forward to inform him. Obviously, no one was more suitable for this person than Zhang Liang.

"Shanyu, why is this formation?"

After meeting Maodun, Zhang Liang went directly to Maodun and asked in a low voice.

"I don't have any other intentions, I just want Xiang Yu to see the foundation of my Huns."

After saying this, Maodun waved his hand, and a neatly arranged team of leaders of various tribes stood up behind him and slowly moved forward with him.

When Xiang Yu saw this formation, he understood a little, and thought that although I was ragged, I was always losing my momentum, right?

So Xiang Yu waved his hand, and all the generals behind him rode out and followed him slowly towards Maodun.

Gradually, in Xiang Yu's eyes, the body of the Xiongnu Shanyu Maodun became clearer. What surprised Xiang Yu was that this person, who was supposed to be a vicious person, looked at his face and was just a young man who was a few years older than him.

Similarly, in Maodun's eyes, this person who almost subverted the rule of the Qin Dynasty not long ago was just a young man in his twenties, which really made him feel a little unbelievable.
