"This subordinate is here to bring a letter from the great general. I don't know King Youxian..."

What Ze meant was that he was not sure whether Xun Yun could understand the letter.

However, Xun Xun beckoned to Ze to present the letter, and then handed it to the entourage around him.

In fact, many of the Xiongnu could understand and speak the Central Plains dialect, and even write it.

The reason is that the Xiongnu do not have their own characters, and they can only use the Central Plains characters to transmit information, and because they have the most contact with the State of Zhao... They have fought against the State of Zhao for many years and captured many Zhao people, so they can learn characters from these prisoners .

Therefore, the script used by the Xiongnu is strictly speaking the script of Zhao State.

After reading it, the follower translated it to Xunyun:

"The Right Wise King respects you."

"The reason why Shen Bing put Geyu in Jiaohe for self-control."

"It's all because Ge Yu and his subordinates are loyal to the Youxian King and do not want to be an enemy of the Youxian King."

"At this time, it should be killed to prevent future troubles, but Shen Bing'ai couldn't bear it, so he left it idle."

"This is really an act of desperation rather than mistrust."

"What's more, if Ge Yu is used as a general, this expedition to Dragon City will force his brothers to fight each other?"

"Today, if King You Xian can descend to Qin to work with Shen Bing, Ge Yu can also return to his position."

"What do You Xianwang think?"

Chapter 478 Partition

In Shen Bing's letter, there are no gorgeous words, nor too many facts and reasoning. He is not even talking about King Youxian but Ge Yu.

But the crux of the problem is Ge Yu.

Because many people in the Huns, including King Youxian, would use Ge Yu as a reference before making a decision.

Now that Shen Bing has clarified Ge Yu's problem in the letter, King Youxian and his subordinates have all the concerns.

Then King Youxian and others heard that the Qin army treated herdsmen and even useless old people kindly in the Longcheng area, so they quickly turned to surrender to the Qin army.

In the end, King Youxian decided to lead his troops to surrender to the Qin army after discussing with his subordinates for several days.

As soon as this news reached Dragon City, the three armies in Dragon City immediately cheered.

For Shen Bing.

In addition to the actual benefits of King Youxian's descent to Qin, such as the addition of more than [-] brave Hun cavalry, other benefits are more attractive.

Thirty thousand Hun cavalry were just icing on the cake for Shen Bing.

Although cavalry is very important, the main use of cavalry is to deal with the Huns.

Now that the Huns were far away from Europe, the number of cavalry was not so important.

There are two other benefits:

One is to make the countries of the Western Regions completely surrender.

Needless to say why this is, all countries in the Western Regions thought that the Huns were stronger than the Qin army, so most of them were on the side of the Huns.

Now the Qin army not only defeated the Xiongnu, but even King Youxian also surrendered to Qin... This also means that the Xiongnu has reached the end of the road, so there is nothing to think about, but to follow the Qin army desperately.

Another benefit is the Xiongnu herdsmen stranded in the south of Longcheng.

These Xiongnu herdsmen are not in the minority, especially at this time when it is autumn and the weather is about to turn cold. More than half of the Xiongnu herdsmen have moved from the north to the south.

Mao Dun Shanyu took a few batches with him when he evacuated, but about 30 people were still stranded.

If King Youxian vowed not to surrender, these 30 Xiongnu herdsmen would be a group of unstable factors...

Years of hatred between the Central Plains and the Xiongnu made the people distrust each other, so these Huns herdsmen will definitely look for every opportunity to escape and flee.

It's fine if they can escape. The problem is that Yanran Mountain and Langjuxu Mountain are in the middle, and Dragon City is in the hands of the Qin army. It is difficult for these herdsmen to escape if they want to.

At that time, what should Shen Bing do with these herdsmen who regard the Qin army as a scourge?

How many times have they been cleared back and forth?

This can indeed be done, although the grasslands are very wide and it is very difficult for the herdsmen to come and go all over the place, but it is only a matter of time.

The question is, what is the point of purging?

For the cattle, sheep and horses in the hands of the herdsmen?

Or drive out the herdsmen who are helpless?

As soon as King Youxian descended, these problems were solved.

Shen Bing can establish a puppet government on the grassland based on King Youxian, and hand over these Xiongnu herdsmen to King Youxian for management... What the herdsmen are worried about is that the Qin army will be unfavorable to them. , it is much easier to accept.

As a result, the political situation in the grassland will stabilize in a short period of time.

Shen Bing thinks this way:

The east of the grassland, that is, the territory of the original Donghu, was handed over to King Youxian.

The area around Longcheng was handed over to the Yueshi.

The west is handed over to the countries of the Western Regions to divide it up by themselves.

The reason for this distribution is because the strategically important Dragon City definitely cannot be handed over to King Youxian.

On the one hand, it is worried that King Youxian will have something to do with Maodun Shanyu again after occupying this place.

In other words, King Youxian didn't want to have any contact, but the soldiers under him always had people who were facing Maodun Shanyu, so he would secretly contact Maodun and even take Longcheng together.

On the other hand, as mentioned before, Dragon City is the holy city of the Huns. If this area is given to the Huns, it will definitely be in the hands of the Huns, and there will be no conflicts among the various tribes.

This is not what Shen Bing likes to see.

At the same time, the countries in the Western Regions are not strong enough and can easily be defeated individually.

Only the Yuezhi, a nomadic people who had the strength to fight against the Huns, could hold down Youxian King.

So Yuezhi became the best choice.

It can be imagined that the Yuezhi occupied the holy city of the Xiongnu, and Youxian King must be unwilling. In addition, he and the Yuezhi were sworn enemies, so there will inevitably be friction.

There are frictions between them and they often quarrel, and it is easier for Shen Bing to control or mediate from it and get benefits from both sides.

As for the countries in the Western Regions...the only thing left is the west. At the same time, the countries in the Western Regions are closer to the west of the grassland, and of course they prefer to choose the west.

Even in this way, the Gobi between the Western Regions and the grasslands also belonged to the Western Regions.

Although these Gobis are of little value, and as far as this era is concerned, no one would think that the territory is too big.

But of course, these are not things that Shen Bing can decide.

Shen Bing wrote a detailed memorial of the results of the war and the cutting plan, and sent a fast horse to Xianyang for Yingzheng to make a decision.

While the memorial was going back and forth, Shen Bing also asked the opinions of Youxian King, Yueshi and other countries in the Western Regions.

All parties are satisfied with Shen Bing's arrangement, especially Yuezhi.

No wonder the Yuezhi was satisfied. The reason why Dragon City was regarded as a holy city by the Xiongnu was not only because it was a strategically important place, but also because the south of it was beautiful, fertile, and flat. At this time, the oasis on the sandbar is much better.

How can the Yue family have anything to say when they got this treasure land for nothing!

There is nothing to say about the Western Regions.

They are different from Yuezhi.

The Yuezhi gave up the sandbar and moved all to Longcheng, so there is no problem of geographical separation.

Countries in the Western Regions are unwilling to give up their current locations, so naturally they can only go to the west if they want to divide their interests.

If there is anyone who is dissatisfied, it is King Youxian.

The holy city was given to the Yuezhi...no one would be happy.

But how dare King Youxian have any opinions!

For a defeated general, it would be nice if he could save his life. How can he still hope to divide the holy city?

Fusu and Yang Duanhe arrived on the third day after Shen Bing and his party entered Dragon City.

As soon as Fusu saw Shen Bing, he stepped forward to greet him and said:

"Long time no see, why don't you come, General?"

Shen Bing quickly saluted and said:

"The subordinates are all well, Mr. Lao misses you!"

Yang Duanhe laughed loudly and said:

"The general is indeed brave."

"I also said that this time I will come here to fight a fierce battle with the Huns, and the old man is ready to wrap his body in horse leather."

"I don't want even the Huns to win without even seeing a few of them."

"The old man wondered all the way, the Xiongnu was so difficult in the past, why is it so ruthless this time?"

Fusu smiled and said:

"Against the great general, what experience do you have?"

Yang Duanhe nodded again and again.

Shen Bing only sighed secretly in his heart:

Fusu and Yang Duanhe only knew the ease of this battle, but they didn't see the danger along the way!

Chapter 479 Involuntary

Shen Bing's memorial was delivered to Ying Zheng soon after.

At this time, Yingzheng is inspecting the Hetao area... After unifying the Central Plains, Yingzheng may think that this time should also be a time to enjoy, so he often takes a group of entourages to travel around the mountains and rivers.

These days, I wanted to see how Shen Bing was doing business, so I turned to the Hetao area for inspection.

It’s okay if you don’t look at it, but you can’t help but be shocked when you look at it:

There are waterwheels and workshops everywhere in the entire Hetao. The sound of water and knocking can be heard endlessly. The farmland is full of ditches, melons and fruits. The Hetao, which was originally a wasteland, has become a production base for cloth, iron and grain.

In addition, restaurants and shops are scattered all over the place, and ships, horses, vehicles and businessmen are constantly coming and going, creating a prosperous and busy scene.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help sighing:

"I also said that all the rich people in the world will be moved to Xianyang, and Xianyang is the most affluent place."

"I don't want to compare it with this Hetao, but it's nothing!"

Zhao Gao took advantage of the situation and said:

"Your Majesty, Hetao is the rich side, to Daqin..."

"Why don't I move the rich to Xianyang again?"

Ying Zheng asked back:

"What if the rich are moved to Xianyang?"

"With the various workshops and farmland here, I'm afraid it won't take long for many rich people to become rich again."

"And once the rich move to Xianyang, it won't be long before they become poor."

"Moving back and forth, isn't it all in vain in the end?"

Zhao Gao asked:

"The emperor means..."

Ying Zheng waved his finger at the waterwheels and workshops and said:

"Instead of moving the rich people, it is better to move these waterwheels and workshops to Xianyang as they are."
