Chapter 717: The Wisdom of Etiquette

Before Mao Dun finished speaking, the other tribal leaders shouted excitedly,

"Chanyu! Your wisdom is higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea! We all listen to you!"

Upon hearing this, the corners of Mao Dun's mouth twitched involuntarily.

He had heard enough, but now he could only endure it.

King Zuo Xian on the side said,

"Chanyu, when will we attack?!"

Mao Dun said calmly at this time,

"Don't worry. Although the Qin army lost many people and we now have the upper hand, they still have strength."

They, the Huns, know the strength of the Qin border army best.

"But now, their number has been reduced a lot. This is the time to play our role as cavalry. We should separate some people and go to harass everywhere. This Shanyu wants these Qin troops to be separated."

"When they get tired, that's when we attack their weaknesses!"

Upon hearing this, King Zuo Xian showed a trace of hesitation and said,

"Chanyu, our food and grass can no longer be carried."

It has been a spring since they gathered their armies, and now they have been facing each other for such a long time.

If you wait a few months, it will be autumn again. . .

If they can't invade Qin and don't grab any supplies, then the Xiongnu will be very sad this winter.

Modun glanced at the other party, but did not explain, with a trace of disappointment in his eyes.

The Huns still have too few talents.

He then looked at the three people, Li Li and Lian, who had been standing by him, and said,

"Jizhu, do you know why?"

Hearing the question, Li was stunned for a moment and didn't want to answer. But looking at the Hun nobles around him, he felt something in his heart and said,

"It's difficult for us, but it's even more difficult for the Qin people. As long as we disrupt them, then our obstacles will be smaller in subsequent attacks."

“The supplies we spend now can be replenished in the future.”

Before Li finished speaking, the eyes of the Hun nobles on the side lit up. Li's words were simple and easy to understand, and they also saw the benefits.

But Lian, the youngest on the side, widened his eyes. He didn't expect that Li would actually give advice to that person.

Suddenly his little face turned red, and when he was about to say something, he was stopped by Yi with a gloomy face next to him.

Modun showed a surprised smile at this time and said repeatedly,

"Okay! Not bad!"

"We are in difficulty, and the Qin army is even more difficult, but the price we pay is less than that of the Qin army!"

He didn't expect that his son could actually see what was beneath the surface!

He has a successor!

At this time, all the Xiongnu nobles also said again,

"The wisdom of the Chanyu and the great prince..."

Hearing this, Mao Dun didn't feel so harsh anymore, because this time, everyone was also praising his son.

This is even happier than praising him!

But before these people could finish their words this time, there was a burst of noise outside the camp.

"This is Shanyu's big tent! What are you doing here! Leave quickly!"

"We want to see Shanyu!"

"If you don't leave, don't blame the guy in my hand for not having eyes!"

Mao Dun frowned immediately, and soon an attendant came in and reported,

"Chanyu, the leaders of the Yuezhi and Qiang people outside want to see you."

Before Mao Dun could speak, King Zuo Xian on the side said impatiently,

"Is it just that they can see it if they want to?"

"Tell them to get lost. If they make trouble again, I'll chop them up!"

They are not afraid of each other at all.

They have been defeated, these people are their beasts, not to mention, these people have been greatly reduced in strength.

Killing so many Qin troops also came at a price.

The price is these Yuezhi and Qiang people.

Modun frowned slightly and asked,

"What's going on?"

The Yuezhi and Qiang troops are still useful to him, so he can't really overwhelm them.

The attendant hesitated for a moment and replied,

"It seems to be that the rear of their tribe was attacked by the Qin people."

"What?!"

King Zuo Xian stood up in shock.

"Where did the Qin people get so many cavalry?"

"Chanyu! Nothing will happen to our rear!"

He is not concerned about the life and death of the Yueshi and Qiang people, he is worried about whether the Qin people will also target their rear!

The faces of other Xiongnu leaders also became serious, but Lian was the only one with a happy face, and he said how could his uncle fail.

Hearing this, Mao Dun was shocked in his heart, but his face showed no signs of it and he said,

"Why are you panicking? We have Qiang and Yuezhi people on our left, and Hu people on our right. How can the Qin people get around us?"

The others felt a little more at ease, and King Zuo Xian also breathed a sigh of relief, but he quickly thought of something and continued to ask,

"Chanyu, what if those barbarians are restless? Although they have gone to Liaodong in large numbers, it will be difficult to deal with some of them if they remain."

Although the Hu people expressed their surrender, the relationship between the two parties was not good.

They killed King Donghu!

Upon hearing this, Maodun couldn't help but sneered and said,

"If they really dare to come, Ben Shanyu will naturally give them a surprise."

"But your worries are justified. Send an order to those barbarians and ask their men to come here within ten days."

Hearing that Maodun had been prepared, King Zuo Xian felt relieved. He just listened to the sounds outside and said worriedly,

"Chanyu, what should we do now?"

Now that the Yuezhi and Qiang tribes are being attacked, it is indeed difficult for them to stop them.

Put yourself in their shoes, if their hometown was robbed and they risked their lives to go back, who could stop them?

But if these people leave, there will be no scapegoat.

So far, the Huns have lost less than 5,000 people.

This number is not small, but compared to these two people who can easily lose tens of thousands, it is too small.

At this moment, Mao Dun's heart moved slightly, and he quickly made a calm look and said,

"I will let them stay and be the first one."

All the Xiongnu nobles showed a hint of surprise.

How can this be?

Mao Dun didn't say much and quickly gave instructions,

"Let them in."

Not long after, following a rush of footsteps, the leaders of the Yuezhi and Qiang people appeared in the big tent.

Both of them looked sad and anxious. The moment they saw Mao Dun, they knelt down and cried almost at the same time,

"Chanyu! Our camp was attacked by Qin cavalry, please let us go back to rescue!"

"Chanyu!..."

They felt so miserable. After being called here by Mao Dun, their clan members had lost tens of thousands. How many people were they in total?

However, as a loser, he had to obey orders.

But now the Qin cavalry actually arrived at their rear. The tribesmen who escaped said that these Qin troops were simply devils.

The adult men in the tribe were almost exterminated!

Only women and children remained.

They must get the person back as soon as possible!

Otherwise, the Yuezhi and Qiang people will really disappear on this grassland!

Listening to the two men crying about the miserable situation, the faces of the Hun nobles in the tent showed a trace of unbearable expression.

We are all grassland people and know what this means.

To put it harshly, even if the Qiang and Yuezhi snatch the people back, within thirty years, these two tribes may be exterminated at any time.

But this way, they became even more curious about how Mo Dun would persuade the other party.

After listening to the two people's cries, Mao Dun still looked indifferent and asked,

"You want to go back?"

The leaders of the Yuezhi and Qiang people nodded repeatedly, but before they could speak, Mao Dun continued to ask,

"How long will it take you to go back?"

"Travel day and night, ten days is enough!"

"After traveling day and night, do you still have the physical strength? Can you defeat the Qin army? Even if you can defeat the Qin army, if they see you and they directly kill your people, what can you do? Just go back like this, there is no chance What are you going to explain to your tribe about the spoils of war?"

The series of questions directly confused the two of them, and their faces became ugly.

Indeed, even if they rush back, it is still unclear whether they can defeat the Qin army's cavalry.

But, even so, they must go back!

That is my home!

"We must die there!"

Both of them said with firm expressions.

Mao Dun said at this time,

"But this Chanyu can give you a choice, you can not only rescue the tribe, but also get the loot!"

Upon hearing this, the two leaders couldn't help but look at Modun.

Mao Dun said slowly,

"Follow me to invade Qin!"

"In this way, Qin will definitely take back its cavalry, and your tribe will be rescued."

"You also know how prosperous the Qin State is, with everything you need."

"There are countless women out there. I will rob you of as many women as you can, and you can completely restore your own tribe!"

"As long as you follow this Chanyu, your future will not end with this small piece of grassland?"

After Mao Dun finished speaking, the entire tent fell silent. No one thought that Mao Dun's plan was so grand!

The leaders of the Yueshi and Qiang people couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

The two looked at each other and saw each other's heartbeat.

Yes, it is indeed too late to go back for rescue now.

Entering the Qin State, they can not only take revenge but also plunder loot. They naturally know how prosperous the Qin State is.

After hesitating for a moment, the two said in a slightly dry voice,

"Chanyu, we need to discuss this matter with the tribe."

Even if they are the leader, they cannot decide this kind of thing alone.

Mao Dun replied calmly,

"Go, but there is not much time. Within ten days, we will launch an attack."

The two nodded and quickly left the camp.

After the two of them left, Mao Dun quickly said,

"King Zuo Xian, ask everyone to prepare for the attack within ten days. The vanguard will be the Yuezhi and the Hu people."

He was sure that the other party would come back.

King Zuo Xian looked confused and asked with some doubts,

"Chanyu, didn't you say you want to delay it a little longer?"

Just now I said there was no rush, and then I changed my mind and said we would attack within ten days.

Other Hun nobles also looked puzzled.

Mao Dun looked at these people and sighed in his heart again. The Huns fought bravely and were not afraid of life and death, but they were also simple in their actions.

But at this moment, he saw his eldest son looking thoughtful.

With a thought in his heart, he asked,

"Jizhu, tell me why you changed the time."

Upon hearing the question, Li did not hesitate and said quickly,

"Because we have to use the Yuezhi and Qiang people, their limit time just now is ten days, and letting them be the vanguard will give them losses."

After hearing the explanation, everyone nodded again and praised,

"The wisdom of the Chanyu and the great prince..."

Mao Dun also showed a smile and said,

"Jizhu, you're doing well, I'll give you another five thousand people!"

"You now have 10,000 people, which is enough for you to use your cleverness!"

If you perform well, you will be rewarded!

Soon, the discussion was completed and everyone returned to their own camps.

But after Li, Yi and Lian returned to their camp, Lian got rid of Yi's hand, pointed at Li angrily and said,

"Brother! Why are you giving advice to that person!"
