Chapter 199 Gorgeous and Flawless
Hun court.
The Helan Mountain Grassland flags were flying, and there were bursts of horseshoes neighing in the distance.
Chen Yu looked around, the Huns were indeed a nation on horseback, they were only eight years old, they could hold the reins and gallop on the grassland with their horses on their backs.
As for the young and middle-aged men on horseback, they even shoot arrows on galloping horses, doing all kinds of difficult movements, coming and going like the wind.
If it were in the Central Plains, the Huns' riding skills would definitely attract attention in the Central Plains, but the Huns' soldiers seemed to be so commonplace that they did not exclaim.
Outside the tent of Wang Ting, there stood four young men with fierce faces, tiger heads and leopard faces, which made Chen Yu and his subordinates feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Chen Yu and the others were slowly brought into the tent of the royal court, and the sudden and hearty laughter reached Chen Yu's ears, but in Chen Yu's ears, it was like the howling of wolves. I feel a chill down my spine.
Entering the royal court, Mao Dun's smile disappeared in an instant. King Youxian knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Report to Shan Yu, a small army was found in the northern part of the Helan Mountain grassland, and it seems to be spying on the enemy's country!"
Chen Yu interjected: "It's not spying on intelligence! We are not spies sent by the enemy country, but Qin State sent us to Yuezhi State to exchange silk with them for gold!"
After the translation, Mao Dun looked hesitant, and said coldly: "Although you said Qin Wen, how can you believe you?"
Immediately, Chen Yu took out a bronze token and the documents of the special envoy of Qin State, and handed them to Maodun Chanyu.
King You Xian frowned: "Why didn't you say it when you were captured, but why did you say it at this time?"
Tears welled up in the corners of Chen Yu's eyes, he sighed and lamented for a while, "What's the use of entrusting it to you? Isn't the leader of the Xiongnu Maodun Shanyu?"
"What's more, you Xian Wang has always been at odds with Qin, even if I tell you, will you believe it?"
King Youxian gritted his teeth, anger churned in his chest, like a boiler that was about to explode due to too much pressure.
Chen Yu used his power to humiliate Youxian King, and used the political gap between the two to provoke conflicts.
The Huns were jointly governed by Shan Yu, King Youxian, and King Zuoxian. When Maodun proposed to reconcile with the Central Plains to buy himself time to slow down the army, King Youxian always opposed it, and even wanted to cross Yinshan and Helanshan to lead the elite The cavalry recovered the Hetao grassland.
However, Maodun believed that confronting Qin now would be tantamount to seeking death. It would be better to develop and grow, unite with other capitals and tribes to fight against Qin, and vetoed King Youxian's decision.
King Youxian has always been resentful, and Chen Yu's provocation hit him where it hurts. If Mao Dun had not come forward to persuade him, King Youxian might have killed Chen Yu.
To kill the envoys of the Qin State is to make it clear that there will be a war with the Qin State, and Mao Dun's plan will be broken, and the two will completely tear each other apart.
Chen Yu exchanged his death for the Xiongnu's internal strife and won victory for Qin. This purchase is more cost-effective.
Just two short words were not enough to make the two of them fall out, so Mao Dun comforted King Youxian in just a few words.
After watching Youxian King leave, Mao Dun slowly said: "Zuo Xianwang has always been reckless, sir, don't take offense!"
Chen Yu gave a deep respect to Maodun, expressing that he was also a little out of control, and immediately turned around, and said slowly: "I hope Maodun can rest assured and allow us to go to Yuezhi Kingdom!"
Chen Yu's subordinates also showed meaningful smiles, hoping that the Huns would let him go.
But Mao Dun didn't want to let it go, the feud between the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu, and the trade between the Great Qin and the Yuezhi, wouldn't it be equivalent to indirectly tearing up the covenant with the Xiongnu?
Mao Dun deduced that this was just an excuse for Chen Yu, so he suspected: "Gold is rich in the Western Regions, and it is deeply loved by the Yuezhi King. The Yuezhi King couldn't put it down, and even traded horses for it!"
"It's just that gold looks gorgeous, but it has no practical use. Why is Emperor Daqin obsessed with flashy gold?"
Chen Yu said slowly: "The gold is gorgeous and flawless. Your Majesty has heard about it for a long time, but he just finds it strange, not to mention obsessed, but just wants to see it with his own eyes!"
"Oh?" Mao Dun sneered: "Heshibi, Yuewangjian, palace towers, don't they satisfy the appetite of the Emperor of Qin?"
As soon as Chen Yu heard Maodu's words, it seemed that the King of Qin was ambitious, but he didn't break it, but said indifferently: "The gorgeous and precious treasures, people can't resist the temptation to take a look, just like the fairy-like Yan As a general, it must have attracted the attention of many subordinates!"
After all, Chen Yu and Mao Dun looked at each other and laughed heartily. The two toasted each other with wine glasses, but just as the wine glasses reached their mouths, their eyes were as cold as ice, and they glared at each other.
After putting down the wine glass, Mao Dun waved his hand slightly, signaling to everyone to taste the warehouse, and ordered the soldiers to entertain two hundred Qin soldiers.
Although Mao Dun had never been to the Central Plains, he had heard Chen Yu's name from Ju Wu's ears, and he had the intention of soliciting him, so he lowered his posture and asked Chen Yu some political questions. Chen Yu answered fluently, which further deepened his inner solicitation idea.
Mao Dun said slowly, "Sir, it's just a new arrival. Wouldn't it be a pity to leave without tasting Hu people's strong wine and famous tea? It's better to stay here for a few days first!"
It's called staying, but it's actually being detained. Chen Yu smiled awkwardly and explained: "Shanyu don't joke, he has a heavy responsibility, and we can't neglect it. I hope Shanyu will let him go!"
Mao Dun's expression darkened in an instant, Tangtang Shanyu's kind invitation, but you still refuse, isn't this shameless?
King Zuo Xian came out to smooth things over and said: "It's so hard for two hundred cavalry to ride thousands of miles under the stars and the moon. It's better to stay here for three days while we select some good horses for you and give you plenty of food and grass!"
Chen Yu wanted to refuse. Today is three days, and tomorrow may be three years. If you stay in the Huns for one day, it will be more dangerous.
But the left and right subordinates still advised him to stay temporarily, and if he angered Shanyu, they would never be able to leave the grassland.
Forced to have no choice but to agree, Chen Yu got up and thanked Zuo Xianwang and Maodun. The haze on Maodun's face disappeared with Chen Yu's agreement, and there was an indelible smile on his face.
At the wine table, Mao Dun explained the customs of the grassland to Chen Yu many times, and ordered someone to send a wooden box with a silver shuttle with a snow top. Taking Ju Wu as an example, he hoped that Chen Yu could serve as his counselor and advise him.
When Chen Yu saw the tricks, he kept evading them. Although Mao Dun kept smiling, there was a trace of bitterness and unwillingness in the smile.
After the wine table dissipated, Chen Yu was so drunk that he got up slowly with the support of his subordinates, but his consciousness was sober. If he didn't pretend to be drunk, Shan Yu would tell him something similar to "a good bird chooses" Live in a tree, and a good minister chooses the master to do things."
Shan Yu ordered the right and left virtuous kings to take good care of Chen Yu and his subordinates, but when Chen Yu saw the gloomy face of the right virtuous king, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he scolded: "I don't need you!"
Immediately, Chen Yu said with a smile to Zuo Xianwang: "I have heard that Zuo Xianwang is very polite, and I hope that Mr. Zuo will send me to rest!"
King You Xian was humiliated again, the anger in his chest was burning, he clenched his fists suddenly, and said coldly: "You wait for me!"
After looking at King Youxian, Chen Yu smiled coldly, and a bold idea was born in his heart. If Shanyu does not let him go, he will stay in the grassland to drive a wedge between King Youxian and Shanyu. As for the mission of lobbying King Yueshi Leave it to Zhang Er to finish
