"Your Majesty, I think that Da Danghu's proposal is feasible." An old man stood up and said.

"I think so too." Another old man stood up.

Soon, all the ministers expressed their support for the Danghu's proposal.

Ji Zhou looked at the scene in front of him and felt very depressed.

Think about the Xiongnu, who had roamed the grasslands for hundreds of years, and had never bowed his head to anyone? But now, he had to bow his head, because he didn't want the Xiongnu to be exterminated.

"Okay, let's do as the pawnbroker says." Ji Zhou said in a deep voice.

"I obey your command!" The pawnshop owner was overjoyed.

"Remember, we must be humble and not let Daqin look down on us." Ji Zhou reminded.

"I understand." The pawnshop owner nodded.

……

Early the next morning.

"Your Majesty, the leader of the Huns has arrived." A guard walked into the tent and reported to Ying Zheng.

"Big brother?" Ying Zheng frowned slightly and asked, "What is he doing here?"

"He said that he came here to seek peace on the orders of Ji Zhou," the guard replied.

"Seeking peace?" Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Let him in."

"Yes." The guard responded and turned to leave the tent.

Soon, a middle-aged man in official uniform walked into the tent and saluted Ying Zheng.

"Foreign ministers pay their respects to the Emperor of Qin." The middle-aged man said respectfully.

"Who are you?" Ying Zheng looked at the middle-aged man and asked indifferently.

"The foreign minister is the big boss of the Xiongnu." The middle-aged man replied.

"Why did you come to Daqin?" Ying Zheng asked.

"The foreign minister has come here to seek peace on the orders of Ji Zhou," replied the chief minister.

"Ask for peace?" Ying Zheng smiled and asked, "Why does Ji Zhou ask for peace?"

"Da Qin is the ruler of the world, and foreign officials admire it very much, so Ji Zhou wants to conclude an alliance with Da Qin. From now on, the two countries will be friendly and will never invade each other." The big Danghu replied.

"Conclude an alliance?" Ying Zheng smiled and said, "There is nothing to conclude an alliance between the Qin and Xiongnu, right?"

"No, no, no." The chief minister shook his head and said, "The Qin army is strong and powerful, and it is the ruler of the world. The Xiongnu are willing to offer 100,000 horses and the most beautiful princess of the Xiongnu, just asking the Qin army to sign an alliance with the Xiongnu."

"War horses?" Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Da Qin lacks nothing except land. If you can cede the Hetao area to Da Qin, I can consider it."

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, the Danghu's face changed.

The Hetao region was the most fertile land of the Xiongnu. If it were ceded to the Qin Dynasty, the Xiongnu would suffer a huge loss.

"What? You don't want to?" Ying Zheng snorted coldly.

"No, no, no." The big pawnshop owner hurriedly shook his head and said, "Daqin is the ruler of the world. Daqin wants the Hetao area, how dare we not give it to them?"

"That's good." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Go back and prepare. Three days later, I want to see the map of the Hetao region and send 100,000 war horses to the Qin army camp."

"This..." The pawnbroker's face changed.

"What? Is there a problem?" Ying Zheng frowned.

"No, no problem." The pawnshop owner quickly shook his head.

"In that case, you can go back." Ying Zheng waved his hand and said.

"I, your humble servant, take my leave." The chief minister bowed to Ying Zheng, then turned and left the tent.

Looking at the back of the pawnbroker, Ying Zheng curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer.

……

"Da Qin is really going too far!" Ji Zhou roared.

"Chanyu, we can only endure it for now." The chief said with a wry smile.

"Is there really no other way?" Ji Zhou asked unwillingly.

"No more." The big man shook his head bitterly and said, "Now we Xiongnu have only this one way to go."

Ji Zhou was silent.

"Chanyu, please be patient for now. As long as we sign an alliance with Daqin, we will have the opportunity to send people to Daqin to learn their technology. When we become stronger, we can defeat Daqin and occupy the Central Plains." Dadanghu advised.

"Learn the technology of the Qin Dynasty?" Ji Zhou was slightly stunned.

"Yes." The big man nodded and said, "The reason why the Qin is so powerful is because their technology, their weapons, and their armor are all better than our Xiongnu. As long as we learn their technology, why worry about not being able to defeat them?"

"That makes sense." Ji Zhou's eyes lit up.

"So, what we have to do now is to sign an alliance with Daqin and make them trust us, so that we can have the opportunity to learn their technology." said the big man.

"Okay, let's do it." Ji Zhou gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes, sir." The pawnbroker nodded and stepped back.

……

In the general's tent, Ying Zheng, Lin Anlan, Zhang Han and Meng Tian were sitting inside.

"Girl Lin, do you think Ji Zhou will agree to my conditions?" Ying Zheng looked at Lin Anlan and asked.

"I will." Lin Anlan nodded slightly.

"What if he doesn't agree?" Ying Zheng asked.

"He won't refuse." Lin Anlan shook his head.

"Why do you think so?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

"Because he has no choice." Lin Anlan replied.

"No choice?" Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

"Yes." Lin Anlan nodded and said, "Now, the Xiongnu have lost 100,000 people. If they don't sign an alliance with us, they will die more people, so they can only sign an alliance with us."

"Besides, Ji Zhou is not a fool. He knows that if he does not sign an alliance with us, the Xiongnu will face the danger of genocide, so he will definitely sign an alliance with us."

After hearing Lin Anlan's words, Ying Zheng, Zhang Han and Meng Tian suddenly realized.

"I see." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "If that's the case, then I'm relieved."

"Your Majesty, if we have concluded an alliance, what should we do next?" Zhang Han asked.

"Wait." Lin Anlan said.

"Wait?" Zhang Han was slightly stunned.

"Yes." Lin Anlan nodded and said, "Wait for the Xiongnu to perish on their own."

"Wait for the Huns to perish on their own?" Zhang Han looked confused.

"That's right." Lin Anlan nodded and said, "After we sign the alliance, the Xiongnu will definitely send people to Daqin to learn our technology. When their strength grows, they will definitely betray us and attack us."

"Isn't this a very normal thing?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Yes." Lin Anlan nodded and said, "But I won't give them a chance."

"That makes sense." Ying Zheng nodded.

"So, we just need to wait." Lin Anlan said.

"Yeah." Ying Zheng nodded.

"By the way, Your Majesty, if I'm not mistaken, the Huns will soon send envoys to request an alliance," said Lin Anlan.

"Very soon?" Ying Zheng was slightly stunned.

"Yes." Lin Anlan nodded and said, "They will be here the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"How is this possible?" Ying Zheng didn't believe it.

"Mr. Lin, are you overthinking it?" Zhang Han questioned.

Who is Ji Zhou? How could he give in so easily?

"Let's wait and see." Lin Anlan smiled faintly.

"Okay." Ying Zheng nodded.
