Chapter 441
Once on the land of Jiangdong, a arrogant young man thought that he would be the one who rang the death knell for the Qin Dynasty, followed by a young man full of strange ideas. They all had their own stubbornness in their hearts, and such stubbornness eventually made them passers-by in their lives.
Today, the magical fate brought the two together again, but their identities and status are no longer the same, and their mentality and purpose are also different.
Ying Gao, who was far away in Xianyang Palace, calculated the days when Han Xin and Xiang Yu met. He knew that at this time he had created a new era and was walking on a road without any reference or compliance. He could no longer foresee or not happening, just like the meeting between Han Xin and Xiang Yu this time...
The decoration and furnishings in Xiang Yu's tent did not look like the place of the Xiongnu Shanyu, but rather like the mansion of a nobleman in the south of the Qin Dynasty. When Han Xin walked in alone, he was also surprised by the scene in front of him.
There were only a few people in the big tent, wearing a white robe sitting in it, with a neat bun and a short layer of beard left under his chin, which was Xiang Yu.
After not seeing each other for a few years, Xiang Yu is still the same as Han Xin’s impression, but his calm temperament tells Han Xin that this is no longer the Xiang Yu he used to be.
In front of him were Long Qi, Ji Bu and Yu Ziqi. Although Xiang Yu brought more than three generals, they were obviously Xiang Yu's all confidants. Han Xin was surprised that there was no Hun in front of Xiang Yu.
The Great Qin sent envoys to come, which was undoubtedly a very important matter for the entire Huns, because this may be related to the relationship between the Huns and the Great Qin, as well as how the Huns will develop in the next step. Moreover, Xiang Yu himself was from the Central Plains.
Against this background, Han Xin passed through several Hun tribes under the leadership of Yu Ziqi, but there were no Huns to see what Xiang Yu and Han Xin wanted. What does this mean? It shows that Xiang Yu's mass base in the Huns was too solid. The Huns believed in Xiang Yu, which was completely something Han Xin had never expected before.
"General Han Xin is an old acquaintance of this Shanyu. He has been separated for several years and is still very elegant. Since he has arrived on the land of the Huns, don't talk about state affairs today. I will treat the general with the food of the Huns. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
After saying that, Xiang Yu pointed to a seat next to Yu Ziqi and signaled Han Xin to sit down. He waved his hands while hearing footsteps outside.
Han Xin looked back and saw several big men walking in with a scorched object that looked like a red one, and knew that Xiang Yu really didn't want to talk about state affairs today, so he could only thank him and sat in the seat prepared for him. He touched his stomach that was indeed hungry and very shriveled, ready to enjoy it, and then welcomed this not very easy negotiation with a full attitude tomorrow.
Although I don’t know what Xiang Yu meant, what Han Xin had to admire was that the inelegant way of eating the Huns was really comfortable. The roasted lamb with oil and oil, coupled with a short blade and a bottle of turbid wine, was really a delicious food in the world that Han Xin had never enjoyed before.
After a few seconds of success, a lamb in front of him was taken down by Han Xin. At this time, Han Xin was already blushing and his neck was thick. Xiang Yu looked at his appearance and showed a thoughtful expression.
Obviously, Xiang Yu did this arrangement on purpose, and his purpose was very simple, just to see what kind of attitude Han Xin came with.
If Han Xin had shrunk at this banquet, dared not eat or drink, his purpose would definitely not be very pure, at least it would not be a thing that would have any benefits to the Huns. Now, Han Xin was very relaxed in both his expression and his movements, and did not let Xiang Yu and his few confidants see any artificiality.
Not to mention anything else, if Han Xin was really impure and had any concerns in his heart, he would not be able to eat the whole lamb. Although Han Xin was also a general, Xiang Yu knew him. His martial arts were ordinary and his figure was not very tall. If he could eat so much, he had to feel relaxed except when he was hungry.
After drinking and eating, Xiang Yu did not mention Han Xin's intention this time, nor did he take advantage of Han Xin's drunken eyes to make some words. He just ordered Yu Ziqi to take someone to take Han Xin back to his camp to rest.
"The ten guards brought by Han Xin have been waiting outside the tent?"
"Yes, after they saw that Han Xin was safe, they left the two of them to continue to protect him. The rest of them went to eat some dry food..."
"The quality of the Great Qin soldiers can be seen from this that the cavalry of our Huns has indeed improved a lot compared to when Maodun was there, but after that young master Gao became the emperor of the Great Qin, the Great Qin soldiers will not make any progress. The progress of our Huns is just to add some bargaining chips in the negotiations with the Great Qin!"
After sending Han Xin back to the tent to rest, Xiang Yu's several confidants did not disperse, but were discussing what they would discuss with Han Xin the next day.
Although Xiang Yu's words were praising the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, the three people next to him knew that Xiang Yu was telling the truth.
Although the Huns are now unique on the grasslands in the north, they do not have land suitable for cultivation like Daqin. The development here will definitely be greatly restricted, and no matter how the population is, it is impossible to compare with Daqin.
In this case, your troops will only be at a disadvantage forever, and once you are defeated, it will be difficult to turn over within several years or even decades, not to mention that you cannot gain an advantage in the elite level of the soldiers.
"The Major General thought that the Emperor of Qin would let the Major General return to Jiangdong in exchange for a large tract of land outside the Great Wall?"
As soon as they heard that Xiang Yu had added some bargaining chips to the eyes of the Emperor of Qin, Long Qi immediately thought of returning to Jiangdong. Although they were now in the Huns' territory, the life of the Huns was still much worse than the colorfulness of the Central Plains. Deep down, they were still very eager to return to the Central Plains, especially their former base camp Jiangdong.
"If he really made such a request, then the next step, I, the Huns, would probably go to war with the Qin Dynasty. I, the Huns, have tens of thousands of elite cavalry, and on this plain, I am not afraid of any Qin soldiers who dare to leave Shangjun. However, if I arrive in Jiangdong, even if we have 100,000 people now, we can only become the turtle in the urn of the Qin soldiers."
Obviously, even if Daqin wanted to negotiate with them, Jiangdong would definitely not be able to go back, which made them feel a little sad.
In the end, Xiang Yu did not discuss anything substantial with them. He just warned them that he would never reveal all the details of the Huns to Han Xin. Although Han Xin's martial arts were not good, Xiang Yu knew that he was an extremely smart person.
When he went back, what Xiang Yu wanted was that he could not see clearly the reality of the Huns now, but that he could only bring some possible situations to Ying Gao. What he wanted to do was to keep the mystery of the Huns in the eyes of the people of the Qin Dynasty.
That night, in the big tent where Xiang Yu and Yu Ji were sleeping, Xiang Yu did not hug Yu Ji as early as he would every day, but sat alone by the window, looking at the big tent where Han Xin was not far from him. The two guards stood outside like javelins, protecting Han Xin inside without blinking. This made Xiang Yu very moved. For a moment, he couldn't guess why Ying Gao suddenly took the initiative to send a Han Xin that he valued so much to his own den.
"General, is there anything wrong with the envoy sent by the Qin Dynasty today?"
When Yu Ji saw Xiang Yu's expression, she naturally knew that it must be Han Xin's arrival that made Xiang Yu feel uneasy. She had heard from her brother that Han Xin was the husband of Ying Gao's only sister of the same mother, and the most trusted general of the Qin Dynasty. Even in Yu Ji's opinion, it was a bit unreasonable.
"Madam, do you hope that we will be in this Xiongnu place for a long time, or that one day we can return to the Central Plains, or even return to Jiangdong, and return to Dang County..."
Xiang Yu's eyes were still staring at Han Xin's big tent, and then asked softly.
"Yu Ji doesn't care where she is. Now I and the general are together in this Hun land forever, not to mention that my brother is also by my side. If I return to the Central Plains and have to live a displaced life, it is naturally better to be here..."
Yu Ji's words were obviously different from what Long Qi expressed before. Xiang Yu sighed slightly, no longer sat in the same place, but stood up, took off his robe, and slowly walked towards the couch where Yu Ji was.
The next morning, Han Xin, who was a little drunk yesterday, stood up early and walked around his big tent for a few times. It seemed that he was relaxing his muscles and bones, but his little eyes looked at all the situation around the Huns royal court that he could see.
It can be seen from the naked eye that although there was no enemy at this time of the Xiongnu royal court, the elite soldiers brought by Xiang Yu from the Central Plains were strictly arranged in the art of war and were constantly protecting the Xiongnu royal court. This place was like a bronze wall.
Han Xin, who is proficient in military tactics, almost realized it at a glance. This was not set up because of his arrival, but the normal situation here. This fully demonstrates that Xiang Yu must have been preparing to start a war with Daqin in the future, regardless of whether he wanted to start a war in his heart.
On this day, Xiang Yu did not take care of himself anymore, but instead delivered the morning meal to Han Xin's big tent. At the same time, he sent someone to send an order to meet Han Xin in the big tent of yesterday in half an hour, and asked Han Xin to prepare to introduce what was not explained in the letter written by Ying Gao himself.
Han Xin knew that the real task he had arrived this time was on this day. If it was done well, it might be possible that Daqin would lose a strong enemy with his mouth. If it was not done well, it would be considered lucky that he could return to Xianyang City safely...
Soon, Han Xin appeared in front of Xiang Yu again, and the lineup of yesterday was still yesterday, but no one interrupted casually. Xiang Yu also started to ask what Ying Gao said in the letter with a serious expression.
Xiang Yu was actually quite concerned about this matter. He had thought that this was just a threat to Ying Gao in order to defeat him.
But now Ying Gao actually let Han Xin come directly, which is enough to show that the previous letters were not scaring him. Then it would be no trivial to make the emperor of the Qin Dynasty let go of his figure and want to form an alliance with him.
"Shen Yu, please listen to me. The scouts sent by the emperor on the sea in the Great Qin have been over for years, and they have returned after a lifetime of death. In a very far south of the Central Plains of the Great Qin, there is a dynasty that is not inferior to the Great Qin..."
So, Han Xin told Xiang Yu in detail about the Peacock Empire that Ying Gao had told him.
When he first heard Han Xin's statement, Xiang Yu almost interrupted his words, because at first it sounded like he was scaring Xiang Yu, and the things he said were unheard of Xiang Yu. It was naturally very difficult to make him believe something that the other party had never heard of.
But later, the more Han Xin said it, the tighter Xiang Yu's frown became. In the end, he suddenly realized that even if the scouts of the Qin Dynasty or Ying Gao had a rich imagination, they probably could not make up so many things.
Moreover, Xiang Yu suddenly realized that the so-called Peacock Empire was obviously in the south of the Qin Dynasty, and the Huns were in the north of the Qin Dynasty. According to common sense, the Qin Dynasty should never reveal the enemy in the south to the enemy in the north. There is no difference between playing with fire and burning yourself.
"The Emperor of the Great Qin means...If the Huns are aliens within the Great Qin race, those people from the Mauryan Dynasty are aliens outside the Great Qin race? What does this mean?"
In Han Xin's remarks, this sentence attracted great attention from Xiang Yu. Of course, he knew that the Huns were considered an absolute alien race for the Qin Dynasty, so he did not understand what alien races were outside the race.
"When you are naturalized, the Huns still agree with the habits and culture of our Qin Dynasty, and can be assimilated. However, once the Mauryan Dynasty meets us, it will be endless killings, a situation that will never stop..."
