I switched allegiance to Zhang Han and rebuilt the Qin Dynasty; Liu Bang was heartbroken.

"Your Majesty, we have achieved a great victory in the north. Modu still has 50,000 troops left, who are besieged in Dai County. Now Modu has sent people to sue for peace, offering more than a thousand beautiful women and dozens of carts of jewels."

He said he was willing to offer his queen and the fertile land north of the Great Wall of Qin, and to honor Qin as his sovereign!

"However, he wants to see His Majesty!"

Zhang Cang bowed respectfully, offering his loyalty and reverence to the Qin Emperor.

How valiant the Qin Emperor was! Under his wise leadership, he accomplished this almost impossible feat.

Including the Prime Minister's Office, when calculating the cost of fighting the Xiongnu, they were prepared to make huge sacrifices, even if it meant delaying the empire's development for several years, in order to crush the Xiongnu first.

Who could have imagined that the situation would change so quickly!

The Qin army surrounded the Xiongnu in Dai County!

Zhao Long asked curiously, "Oh, what exactly is the battle situation?"

Zhao Long was not surprised that he was able to defeat the Xiongnu.

Let's take a look at who is leading the two Qin army groups currently fighting the Xiongnu.

Wang Ben, a top general of the old era; Han Xin, a famous general of the new era.

Both of them served the Qin Dynasty in their respective eras, and like brilliant shooting stars, they streaked across the Qin sky!

Zhao Long gave them complete control, allowing them to freely mobilize all troops and resources to fight the Xiongnu.

Throughout history and into the future, the greatest obstacle for great generals has always been the emperor above them.

Now that the two have temporarily lost this constraint, Zhao Long believes they will deliver a satisfactory result.

I never expected it to come so quickly.

The Prime Minister's office also has limited information at present. The great battle is not yet over, and the battle reports from the front have not been sorted and compiled before being sent over.

However, Zhang Cang had already summarized the situation in his mind.

From Wang Ben's blitzkrieg against the Xiongnu at the Yan River to Han Xin's flooding of the Left Wise King, cutting off Modu's retreat route.

Finally, Han Xin took control of the troops in both locations, advancing step by step, and trapped Maodun in the Dai region.

"hiss--"

"So scary!"

"These two generations of famous generals from the Qin state actually created such a thrilling combination of strategies."

Zhao Long spoke with great surprise.

At the beginning of the war, neither of them, fighting on their own battlefields, expected that they would be able to reunite their forces so smoothly!

It's a combination attack! Qin Dynasty is saved!

"At present, Zhuge Liang is still attacking deep into the Xiongnu territory and buying time for the Northern Marquis to destroy Modu."

"However, Maodun sued for peace..."

The Xiongnu's top ruler, the Great Chanyu who commanded three to four hundred thousand archers, sued for peace!

However, the formal war with the Xiongnu lasted less than a year.

This feat brought great joy to the Prime Minister's residence, which had been worried that the battle would reach a stalemate.

However, they still have many questions about this matter.

"The first thing we need to determine is whether Modu is the master of the steppe and whether his quick surrender is a ruse or part of a conspiracy!"

"Then, should the Qin army accept Modu's peace offer?"

Zhao Long felt that this was both unexpected and reasonable.

Without a doubt, Modu was the most powerful king in the history of the north.

However, Maodun's upbringing was rather distorted.

His ability to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens is also a powerful talent.

Maodun's quick surrender seems less like a conspiracy and more like he was in a great hurry to return to the grasslands.

Zhao Long asked in a deep voice, "Are the Xiongnu people on the northern grasslands launching a strong counterattack now?"

Zhang Cang shook his head: "This is indeed a bit strange. The Northern Marquis blocked Modu's retreat route, but the Xiongnu people were not agitated. Only a few tribes were launching a frantic counterattack."

Zhao Long understood and laughed: "It seems that Modu has only recently nominally unified the grasslands, and the people's hearts are not united."

"If Modu dies, the Xiongnu will surely disintegrate in an instant."

Modu's southward march was intended to leverage his overwhelming power in defeating the Qin dynasty to further solidify his control over the grasslands.

But if it fails, it will be a devastating blow.

People's hearts have fallen apart.

Maodun's haste to head north, even at the cost of appeasement, likely indicates his intention to quickly launch a counterattack.

Otherwise, they would be trapped in the south for a long time.

Perhaps the ruler of the grasslands will be replaced.

If that's the case, Modu wouldn't feign surrender; he couldn't afford the consequences.

Even if he feigned surrender and defeated the Qin army in Dai County, the Qin army was still formidable and would retaliate severely.

With the hearts of the people scattered, it's hard to say whether the grasslands will still unite with him to fight a bloody battle against the Qin state.

Zhao Long inquired, "What about the Prime Minister's suggestion?"

Zhang Cang clasped his hands and whispered, "I accept your surrender, but I will not let Maodun leave."

Zhao Long gave Zhang Cang a deep look. After being the Prime Minister of Qin for so many years, this guy's evil intentions have become more and more obvious.

Let the storm on the grassland rage even more fiercely!

"Then issue an order to hand this matter over to the Northern Border Army for full handling."

……

Dai, early October.

Maodun worked tirelessly, sweating profusely, trying to ensure that his beloved concubine could make the most of her remaining value before he sent her away.

When he went out, he saw the crowd with joyful faces: "Great Chanyu, everything is ready, the army is well prepared and ready to set off at any time."

By the end of September, their envoys finally received clear news: Qin had agreed to the peace talks.

Modu was extremely anxious and decided to lead his army north before he could discuss the specific plan with the Qin army.

He has been away from the grasslands for too long and must go back as soon as possible to make arrangements.

Otherwise, it's hard to say whether the master of the grassland would still be called Maodun.

"set off!"

He looked at the exhausted Hun warriors and roared.

Did you know this battle would be so brutal before you set off?

He was in too much of a hurry!

The Xiongnu army is not united; he should stabilize the situation further before rallying forces to march south.

However, there were still many things he didn't understand.

The Qin army had only recently risen from the ruins. Even if it was strong, how could it maintain such terrifying combat power after several years of war?

His unwilling gaze swept over Dai County.

Unexpectedly, even as they were about to leave, they still hadn't breached the city.

"The next time I return, it will be the day I massacre the city!"

Maodun's gaze gradually darkened, and he left without looking back.

Within the camp were the beautiful women they had left behind, as well as a large amount of treasure they had taken south…

They were all given to the Qin people.

Maodun clenched his fists tightly.

"I will definitely come back..."

He kept reminding himself!

……

"The Xiongnu have withdrawn their troops..."

"Great Qin, Great Qin, Great Qin!"

On the city wall of Daixian, the soldiers roared with extreme excitement, raising their weapons and creating a sound as loud as a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down.

This is the best form of mockery.

The surviving Xiongnu soldiers outside Daixian City, many of them remnants, all looked towards the city walls with extreme resentment.

All I saw was Daixian County, as brilliant as a blazing fire.

Under the rising sun, it was as if a fiery red curtain of sky stretched across the front of the Xiongnu army!

Will they be able to come back?

They failed to capture Daixian this time, their closest attempt to conquer the south, despite gathering hundreds of thousands of troops.

Can we start over?

The remnants of the Xiongnu army left in despair and anger.

On the city wall.

Covered in wounds, Feng Jiegan used his sword to support his battered body, letting out a heart-wrenching cry: "Haha, we won, we won..."

We will surely win!

He has always firmly believed this!

In his excitement, Feng Jiegan's consciousness was gradually fading when he suddenly felt a slap on the face.

"Who is it? Where did this bastard come from?"

The general, who had been slaughtering for a long time, unleashed an endless killing intent that sent chills down everyone's spine.

He saw Liu Jiao and realized he was back in his room.

"General Feng, you've been unconscious for a day, but you've finally woken up. The battle isn't over yet, and we must launch an attack as soon as possible. The soldiers are all ready and waiting for you to wake up."

"The Xiongnu have attacked again?"

"No, it is we who must pursue the Xiongnu for thousands of miles!"
