Chapter 246 Arrangement
Mohist Guild Hall.
The spring scenery is beautiful, the lake reflects the light, and the morning in Xinzheng is full of calm.
Zhao Shuang stretched and took a nap. With sleepy eyes, he heard a noise coming from his ears.
"what happened?"
The voice of a disciple of the Mo family came to Zhao Shuang's ears, and he sounded a little anxious.
"More than a dozen Huns are rushing into the Mohist guild hall."
"Huns?" Zhao Shuang scratched his head, looking very bored, "Then what are you waiting for? Get them all out!"
"It's not easy to catch up. In addition to these barbarians, there is also Zhang Liang, the grandson of Prime Minister Han Kaidi."
When Zhao Shuang heard the name, he sat up immediately.
Zhang Liang?
After coming to Xinzheng for so long, Zhao Shuang has never seen this legendary sage seeker.
Immediately, Zhao Shuang put on his mask and came to the lobby of the Mohist Guild Hall.
At this time, many people had gathered in the lobby. Zhao Shuang saw a hot man among the crowd at a glance.
Without him, among a group of foreigners in strange clothes, a handsome young man like a woman was standing there, gentle and elegant.
Seeing Zhao Shuang coming, Zhang Liang wanted to salute, but the other party grabbed his hand.
"Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang, I have admired him for a long time!"
The leader of the Mo family in front of him was so uncharacteristically enthusiastic that Zhang Liang was caught off guard and Touman, who was ignored by Hua Hua, was very unhappy.
"The commander-in-chief knows about me?"
Zhang Liang didn't understand that he was just a member of a small family and held an underground position in the court. Why does the leader of the Mohist family know about him?
"The name of the ovary has been heard for a long time."
Zhang Liang looked at Zhao Shuang, who was talking more and more enthusiastically, and thought to himself, hurry up and bring him back, he still has a mission with him.
"The Commander-in-Chief, this is a leader of the Huns and an old friend of the Commander-in-Chief."
"Old friend?"
Zhao Shuang looked at the barbarian leader on the side, looking at his rough and arrogant face, he really couldn't remember.
"who are you?"
During the battle that year, Touman felt deeply ashamed and vowed to find the Mohist leader to regain his face.
However, the reality is not what Touman thought, and there has been a deviation. Tou Man couldn't get off the stage and shouted loudly.
"I am Touman, the jade-faced flying dragon, don't you remember?"
"You Huns all look similar, I can remember them all."
Zhao Shuang waved his hand, not paying much attention.
Zhang Liang looked at the situation in front of him, smiled slightly, and tried to smooth things over.
"It seems that there is some misunderstanding. It is said that we are guests from afar. Since you two know each other, why not sit down and talk?"
Among the Three Jin Dynasties, South Korea's army was weak, its infantry was inferior to Wei's soldiers, and its cavalry was inferior to Zhao's cavalry, but it was famous for its powerful crossbows.
The benefit of war and the measurement of a country's military strength are all based on the number of tanks. The horses required for chariots do not require the same high standards as the cavalry.
However, after the rise of the cavalry armies of Qin and Zhao, the disadvantages of chariots gradually became apparent.
When charging into battle, the chariot is certainly sharp. However, the rigidity of the chariot is far inferior to the flexibility of the cavalry.
In terms of tactical application, the maneuverability of the cavalry army is much higher than that of the chariot army.
Among the seven countries, Qin and Zhao have the most advantages in forming a large-scale cavalry force.
The military and horse supplies that South Korea needs must be obtained through transactions. Therefore, war horse supplies are very expensive in South Korea's military market.
South Korea's establishment of a cavalry force was costly.
Therefore, when he heard that a Xiongnu leader was willing to donate fifty war horses to South Korea, the King of Han was very satisfied.
First, barbarians outside the Great Wall like the Xiongnu donated war horses to South Korea, which brought glory to the King of Korea. Secondly, these fifty war horses were not a small number for South Korea.
Strategic materials such as war horses were controlled by both Qin and Zhao. The remaining Yan State was weak in national power. Even if it imported war horses to the Central Plains, the number was not large. Sometimes even if it had money, it could not be bought.
In order to show the majesty of Korea and show kindness to people far away, the King of Han sent Zhang Liang as an envoy to visit Xinzheng with Touman.
When Touman came to the Central Plains this time, he also needed to purchase a batch of supplies that the tribesmen were in short supply. The King of Han ordered officials to provide certain conveniences.
"Jade-faced Flying Dragon, you blocked my great Xiongnu army with one person. Although I lost, I don't accept it."
As soon as his butt touched the ground, Touman stood up. As a Huns, he was not very used to sitting on his knees.
Zhang Liang was a little curious, but he didn't expect that this Xiongnu leader actually had such a grudge against the Mohist leader.
Zhang Liang had read a lot of books since he was a child, and was also involved in military literature. Although he has never been on the battlefield, he also knows that the Xiongnu in the north, with their bows and horses, come and go like the wind, and their nature is to plunder.
Can one person stop the Huns' army?
Zhang Liang is a little curious, how did the Mohist leader do it?
"Whether you accept it or not is none of my business."
Zhao Shuang was really uninterested. At this time, the Xiongnu were neither the giants that would gather 300,000 troops to destroy Donghu, swallow up the Yuezhi, annex the Western Regions, and span tens of thousands of miles in the future, nor were they the remnants of the Xiongnu who had been repaired and fled westward in a hurry, and were sealed off as wolves. .
They lived in Henan and were formed by a combination of scattered tribes. They owned pastures with high-quality water and grass, raised war horses, and had good fighting power. They often invaded the borders of Qin and Zhao, and often traded with other countries.
However, relatively speaking, the threat posed by the Xiongnu to Qin was not fatal at this time, because it was still very scattered and not gathered together.
The Huns need a strong leader, but killing Touman does not mean that the Huns will not have another wolf leader to continue the cause of unifying the Huns.
At the very least, Touman's son Maodun was much scarier than him.
Because after the Qin State unified the Central Plains in the south and became a large empire, if the Xiongnu in the north dispersed again, they would only be defeated by the Qin State one by one.
The pressure of reality will not change because of Touman's death. Even if the wolf king in front of him dies, a new wolf king will be born among the wolves in the north, and they will gradually unite under the great pressure of the empire.
For Zhao Shuang, there is no need to enmity with the Huns at this time. His caravan needs to be protected by the descendants of the Moon Wolf to trade with the Hu Qiang on the border, and needs a relatively stable environment.
As far as the Qin State is concerned, this is not the time to deal with the Xiongnu.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shuang looked at Touman, whose thick and wild beard was trembling slightly with anger.
The guy in front of me may be more valuable alive than dead.
"Jade-faced flying dragon, do you dare to fight me!"
While Zhao Shuang was distracted, Touman's roar came. He banged the table hard, his anger was deep, and his whole body was like an enraged beast.
"Whether you fight alone or win with troops, I, the Great Huns, are not afraid! If you lose, return the descendant of the Moon Wolf to me."
Descendants of the Moon Wolf?
This was the first time Zhang Liang heard this name. He didn't understand what the name represented, whether it was an object, a person, a place or something else.
However, compared to the passionate Touman, Zhao Shuang seems to be very lackluster.
"What's the benefit of fighting with you? Why should I agree to it?"
"The descendants of the Moon Wolf are very precious, and the things that match them are naturally extremely precious."
Touman waved his hand and said.
"A thousand fine war horses!"
"Um"
Zhao Shuang actually didn't want to agree, but he gave too much!
