Chapter 215 The Conflict of the Huns
Chen Ping did not lie, he did think of something interesting, but this interesting thing just happened.
The curiosity in the Hun boy's eyes was that he was from Qin. To a Hun boy over ten years old, the Qin people were rumored to exist and had never been seen before. But seeing him today, he was a bit curious. It is normal.
The fear is still that he is from Qin. The Xiongnu were dealt with badly by the Zhao people. For decades, they did not dare to look south. They only dared to take advantage of the Qin Dynasty to destroy the six kingdoms and secretly occupy the Hetao area.
The Huns teenagers must have heard the story of their Huns being defeated by the Zhao people, and the Zhao people were defeated by the Qin people. After such a comparison, it is not surprising that they will be wary.
But anger, dissatisfaction and eagerness to try are fun.
The anger and dissatisfaction should be due to Yu Touman’s efforts to welcome them. He drove them home and were not allowed to go out.
This kind of thing would not be too inappropriate for the elderly. It's true, but when the young man doesn't know the heights of the world, he will feel that why should he drive them back home just because of a group of Qin people, who are not good to his own people but are so good to outsiders.
You will feel that their Chanyu and the heads are spineless, groveling in front of the Qin people, like a group of hounds trying to please their master.
The Hun men think they are wolves on the prairie, how can they turn into dogs that wag their tails in front of others?
What's more, I have only heard of the reputation of the Qin people, but I have never really competed with them. The men of the Huns may not be inferior to the Qin people. How can the Shanyu and the leaders be so afraid?
It’s never too late to be afraid after competing with the Qin people, so the Xiongnu boy was eager to try again.
Chen Ping speculated on the thoughts of the Hun boy and thought: Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
‘But according to the Huns, newborn wolf cubs should not be afraid of tigers. ’
Looks from the houses on both sides of the street continued to fall on him, and Chen Ping felt a lot of them like the Hun boy just now.
But this did not worry Chen Ping. Instead, he was very happy, because this represented the separation between the older and younger generations of the Xiongnu.
The older generation of the Huns have lost their ambitions and just want to live a peaceful and down-to-earth life, while the younger generation are not afraid of tigers. They are not afraid of anything and dare to try anything.
The two generations will hate each other, but the most interesting thing is that the younger generation has not yet grown up, and now it is the older generation that holds the power of the Huns.
The younger generation will feel that the older generation is occupying the manhole and hindering the development of the Xiongnu. They also suppress them and do not want them to take power. Moreover, everything the older generation enjoys now is done by their young people. Come on, old guys get something for nothing.
The older generation thinks that the young generation has nothing to do, and the young people do not know the heights of the world and do not understand anything.
Thinking of this, Chen Ping thought of the rumor that Li Nian killed Mao Dun. "Master Li Nian is really talented. He must have known the situation of the Xiongnu before he killed Mao Dun." ’
‘If Mao Dun is not eliminated, he will become the leader of the Young Strong Faction after he returns to the Huns. With the support of the younger generation of the Huns, Mao Dun will most likely become the next generation chanyu of the Huns. '
'Once Maodun becomes a chanyu, the young Xiongnu faction will also take control of the Xiongnu, and then the Xiongnu will return to its wild nature. From the current old dog to a young wolf, it is very likely to become The disaster of Da Qin. ’
The eyes he felt now contained hostility, dissatisfaction and eagerness to try. If these people had the actual power of the Xiongnu, what attitude would they take towards Da Qin? I’m afraid they wouldn’t be too friendly.
‘For Da Qin, it is naturally better for the Huns to be dogs. ’
Unconsciously, the Da Qin envoy had followed Touman and others to Shan Yuting in the city. Touman happily introduced to everyone in the envoy that the city of Touman was his proud work. It took a lot of energy and effort to build it, setting an unprecedented precedent for the Xiongnu.
Jiao Li and Chen Ping looked at the Shan Yuting in front of them. Like this city, it clearly borrowed from the architecture of the Central Plains, but incorporated other elements.
As the saying goes, "Don't hit anyone with a smiling face." Touman treated them with such courtesy, and Jiaoli returned the courtesy and said with a smile: "Although Shanyu's palace is not as magnificent as the Xianyang Palace, it still has its own style. , Not only does it lack the power of a king, but it also lacks elegance."
This compliment made Touman burst into laughter, and he immediately invited Jiao Li and Chen Ping to enter the royal court.
In the royal court, Touman had already prepared a banquet. The meal was shared, and the Xiongnu and Qin people were seated separately.
The accompanying Da Qin sergeants have been arranged to eat elsewhere in the royal court, and even the horses have been properly accommodated.
Touman did not ask about the mission, and Jiao Li and Chen Ping also deliberately did not mention it. They ate Xiongnu special food and enjoyed the dance of Xiongnu women. It was a banquet for the guests and the host.
At the end of the banquet, Jiao Li and Chen Pingping had left, but the aroma of wine and meat had not dissipated in the palace. Touman sat on his seat, looking away from the happy and drunken look at the banquet, with his eyes closed, But the seriousness and heaviness on his face can be seen at a glance.
There are still people in the palace, including the heads of various Xiongnu ministries who have just accompanied the banquet, and some people from the Xiongnu mission.
Touman suddenly opened his eyes and asked: "Why did Mao Dun die?"
The Huns envoy had sent someone back to report to him that Mao Dun was dead, but the details were not clear. Regardless of the cause and effect, he still wanted to know how his eldest son Moton died.
Although he didn't like Mao Dun very much, in any case, Mao Dun was his son, the prince of the Huns, so he couldn't just die in Qin's territory without any reason.
The people of Qin are indeed powerful, but he is also a Chanyu of the Huns. How can he not care about his son's death?
One person said: "Chanyu, Prince Modun offended a young master of Da Qin!"
Touman frowned. Before he could speak, the leader had already exclaimed: "The prince is so ignorant that he doesn't know how to restrain himself in the capital of the Qin people. How dare he provoke the young master of Qin."
Hearing this. , Touman glanced at the person who spoke The leader, although he doesn't like Mao Dun very much, is his son after all. He was killed by the Qin people in their territory, and now he has to be called "ignorant" and "unrestrained"...
< br>It’s not your son who’s emotionally dead!
At this moment, Touman felt the same emotion as when He Modun looked at them, a bunch of insects!
But before Touman could finish his emotion, someone else led the way: "Exactly, Prince Maodun probably thought he was with the Huns and had a Shanyu to protect him, so we would let him go his own way. Bringing about this disaster ”
Another person said: "I have said before that the prince's temper is too flamboyant, which is definitely not a good thing, and now it really comes true..."
I haven't said how Modu provoked the young master of Qin in Xianyang. These people He had already placed all the blame on Mao Dun.
Touman also knew why these people said this, because they were all afraid of Qin and worried that the Qin people would use this as an excuse to send troops to conquer them.
But he was also afraid. If it had been before that battle, he might have dared to touch the Qin people. Now his ambition is gone and his spirit has been lost.
