Daqin Engineers

Chapter 345

In fact, Qi Wangjian still had his fief, but Ying Zheng gave him a barren hill, and then left no servants.

To be precise, it is not a barren mountain, but a mountain with pine and cypress trees.

Needless to say what the result was, Qi Wangjian could not live without any living ability, and finally starved to death.

So he left the verse of "Wang Jian lost his country, pine and cypress are green".

In fact, Qi is not without the opportunity. What Yingzheng fears most is for Qi Wangjian to march south to the Huaihe River to form an echo with Changping Emperor.

The reason Changping Jun wished to be a minister was because there was no chance to sing alone.

If there are hundreds of thousands of troops in Qi state back to back, it would be a lot of trouble to bring Xiang Jia and even Baiyue up to work.

I am afraid that the unification of the Central Plains will be a distant future.

However, Qi Wangjian missed this opportunity to listen to the advice of treacherous ministers, and eventually made Qi State surrender despite years of rest and recuperation with hundreds of thousands of troops.

It's no wonder that the people of Qi State will make up a song with resentment after the death of Qi Wangjian: "Is it a pine tree? Or a cypress tree? Is it not the guest's disaster that Qi Wangjian moved to the common land?"

Shen Bing just nodded coldly, and motioned to go down.

Ren then asked:

"General, don't you pass the news?"

Shen Bing replied:

"Pass it on!"

As a result, cheers soon came from outside the house.

The soldiers and civilians shouted loudly:

"The King of Qi has fallen!"

"Qi State is destroyed!"

...

There were even many people beating gongs and drums to celebrate.

The reason why there is no such scene in the destruction of other countries is because Qi is the last country of the Seven Kingdoms.

The people thought that there would be no battle to fight after this war, so they rushed to celebrate.

Shen Bing and Yun Qian looked at each other and saw each other's helplessness.

They still want more time, but now it seems more and more urgent.

While Shen Bing was developing in the North, Maudun the Hun was also consolidating his power.

In fact, Mouton was somewhat frightened by Shen Bing.

After the battle in the Nine Plains, the horrific fighting power of the Central Plains Qin Army and the thunder-like firearms made the Xiongnu cavalry panic.

So much so that when Mouton said that he would move the strategic direction northward, almost no one opposed.

As the saying goes, misfortunes do not come singly. Perhaps it was the fact that the Huns had suffered heavy casualties when they were defeated by the Qin army, and the new superiors were not firmly established, so Donghu sent envoys to ask for Chollima.

The Donghu messenger was very arrogant. He only bowed slightly to Mao Dun, then raised his head and said:

"My king learned that Tou Mandanyu is dead, and the horse under his seat must not be needed anymore."

"Just give it to my king!"

Mouton couldn't help but feel angry after hearing this.

If it’s just for horses, it’s not bad, but for the horses that Mandan was in his lifetime?

Does that imply that the Xiongnu's territory and property belong to Donghu?

So one after another glared and held the handle of the knife. As long as Mao Dunyu gave an order, they immediately stepped forward and hacked the messenger to death.

After hesitating, he smiled and replied:

"It's just a horse. If the messenger wants it, take it!"

With that said, he really gave the great horse to the messenger.

Mouton also persuaded the left and right:

"Are we going to fight Donghu because we love a horse?"

"What good do we have in this way?"

Hearing left and right could not help being speechless.

In fact, Mouton knew clearly that Donghu had always wanted to annex the territory of the Xiongnu.

Seeing that the Huns were newly defeated and Tou Mandan was dead, he wanted to take this opportunity to find an excuse to destroy the Huns.

Mouton knew that his strength was far from Dong Hu, and the Huns would never win when Dong Hu was prepared, so he chose to swallow his anger.

Mouton swallowed this breath, but Donghu still refused to give up.

Within a few days, the Donghu envoy came again.

This time the messenger actually came to Maodun Shanyu's Yan family (Queen Xiongnu):

"My king heard that Shan Yu's Yan family is beautiful and beautiful, and I want to see it. Please allow me to escort Shan Yu to Donghu!"

I can't hold back where I listened to the left and right. I was so angry that I was about to step forward and beat someone, but was stopped by Mao Dun:

"It's just a woman. Don't hurt the peace of neighboring countries."

So really handed over to the messenger.

This was the case twice, and Dong Hu thought that Mao Dun was only weak and could be deceived, so he lost his vigilance.

Originally, there was an area of ​​more than a thousand miles between Donghu and the Xiongnu as a buffer zone. Neither the Xiongnu nor the Donghu could enter this area called Outuo to graze.(Note: Outuo in the Huns means "abandoned land")

With the previous sending of Qianlima and Sendai, the Donghu herdsmen did not take this agreement seriously and one after another entered the "Outuo" grazing.

Mouton also regarded it as ignorant, so Donghu thought that this time he was responsive as before, and sent an envoy to say:

"This piece of Outuo is useless anyway, so Donghu will use it to raise a few cattle and sheep!"

But he didn't expect that Mouton suddenly became furious and cursed:

"Forget it if you want Maxima, forget it if you want a woman."

"But land is the foundation of the country, and even land is wanted. Do you want to push the Huns into desperation?"

Apart from anything else, he cut off the Donghu envoy, and then organized the Huns to attack Donghu as quickly as possible.

I have to say that Maudun has just grasped the psychological state of the enemy and ourselves.

For the Xiongnu, that was Donghu's repeated unreasonable demands, and finally even demanded land...This made the Xiongnu unable to bear to retreat, so he suffocated his breath to kill Donghu.

At the same time, Mouton also played a little trick:

Maxima I can ignore.

I can ignore women.

But the land, it is a battle for every inch of land!

This immediately gave everyone a feeling of being a king.

So all the subordinates dared to fight for the first place.

Looking back at Dong Hu, he took it for granted:

He can bear the humiliation of Maouton's father by Chollima.

He can tolerate the humiliation of Mouton himself.

So what can be considered to be the land that is not used in the middle?

So there was no preparation at all.

As a result, the Xiongnu rushed thousands of miles and killed them all the way in...

This is actually related to the incomplete alarm facilities of the nomads.

In the Central Plains, a beacon was set to report the news when there was danger. Although the nomads could also be warned without warning, the distance that they could travel was very limited.

Moreover, the combat area is a grassland area suitable for long-distance war horses.

Mouton also found out the location of Donghu's command center in advance, so he led his troops to the point and won the battle.

This battle broke the mighty Donghu very simply.

Most of Donghu's horses, property, people, and slaves belonged to the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu instantly became stronger.

The remnants of Donghu fled in two groups, calling themselves "Wuhuan" and "Xianbei" respectively.
