Their best plan is to drive hundreds of tribes in the southwest to serve as vanguards to counter our Qin army.
If the tribes in the southwest cannot be used by them, the Chu people will increase their troops just to maintain pressure and then negotiate to resolve the southwest issue."
Lu Buwei said: "The Xiongnu and Wei are both attacking. How should I respond?"
"The disputes between the countries in China and Turkey continue, and it is not yet time for an expedition to completely wipe out the Xiongnu. However, we must beat the Xiongnu to pain before we can slow down our attack, so that we can attack Wei with all our strength next year."
Zhao Huaizhong said calmly: "As for the Wei people, I have made arrangements to set up an ambush to lure the enemy... It is also to prepare for the coming year."
"How to lure the enemy?"
Lu Buwei asked further, but Zhao Huaizhong shook his head slightly and ignored him.

In the next few days, the Qin and Chu armies faced each other on the Western Front, and the atmosphere was solemn, but there was no real confrontation.
The focus of both Qin and Chu was actually on the east and north fronts.
On Qin's eastern front, a Qin army commanded by Meng Ao had already launched an attack to engage the invading Wei troops.
After a year of training, the Wei people's military strength has indeed increased significantly.
The two sides fought for several days. Meng Ao, who had always been able to suppress the Wei people in the past, did not gain much advantage this time.
The war between Qin and Wei was tense.
When the news was sent back to the palace of King Wei, Wei Wu got up and walked around the palace, saying excitedly:
"My hard work has indeed been in vain. The Qin army is no longer an invincible opponent. Our Wei army and Qin are no longer on par.
If we can have another period of time, I will be able to defeat Qin."
"This time, according to the king's instructions, we, the Wei people, have not dispatched the strongest imperial army. Otherwise, we should have been able to suppress Meng Ao's troops at this moment." Some Wei Chen agreed.
Wei Wu smiled: "I sent Lord Long Yang to the front line to watch the Qin army's front. Has Lord Long Yang ever come back?"
"Not yet, but I will be back soon."
"What happened when the Huns attacked Qin?" Wei Wu asked again.
"This minister doesn't know that since Zhao Kingdom fell into the hands of the Qin people, it has become much more difficult for me, the Wei Dynasty, to obtain news about the northern front.
However, a few days ago, news came that the Huns were approaching the Qin border.
Several days passed, but for some unknown reason, the Huns cavalry never really appeared.
However, there was news yesterday that Qin general Meng Wu commanded a Qin army, numbering tens of thousands, and entered the depths of the grassland with unknown traces, probably to fight the Xiongnu."
————
Qin Jing is five hundred miles north of Dai City and deep into the grassland.
A few days ago, the Huns cavalry sent by Luo Tuanman went south and approached the Qin territory.
But then they stopped moving forward and failed to get any closer.
The reason... You must know that the Huns were not without any opponents on the grassland.
As the Xiongnu went west, there was the Yuezhi clan, which was also very powerful for a while.
To the east of the Xiongnu was the Donghu territory to the north of the Yan people.
These two families were rivals of the Xiongnu. Although the Xiongnu was becoming increasingly powerful and had apparently surpassed the Yuezhi and Donghu, it was not yet the time for the Xiongnu to unify the grasslands as known to later generations.
The Xiongnu military force was at its peak. Compared with the other countries in Central and Eastern Europe, the Yueshi and Donghu were the first to feel the pressure.
Qin took advantage of the trend this time, and with a little movement, he could use his strength to gain strength.
At the same time that the Xiongnu attacked Qin, a group of Donghu troops came straight through from west to east. The Yuezhi came from east to west, with the goal of taking the opportunity to attack Bailang City.
Qin also subsequently sent troops to meet the Xiongnu who invaded the south.
When the countries of China and Turkey competed with each other, there was also a melee on the grassland.
The Xiongnu's elite troops marching south encountered front and back attacks from Donghu and Qin.
Early October.
afternoon.
On the grassland, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and tens of thousands of corpses spread over hundreds of miles.
The Xiongnu attacked Qin, but Donghu, who had received the news in advance, ambushed them halfway and stopped them. The Qin army also rushed into the battlefield with a stab in the back.
A three-way melee.
Qin and Dong Hu did not cooperate. Qin only sent news to Dong Hu in advance and borrowed his strength.
Donghu wanted to weaken the Xiongnu with all his strength, and the fundamental purpose was to protect himself.
Therefore, although it was a three-party melee, two of them seized the Huns and attacked wildly.
The battle lasted until the end of the day, when the Xiongnu were surrounded by two sides and defeated.
Until October 7, for about a week, the Xiongnu soldiers continued to retreat deeper into the grassland, resisting the pursuit of Qin and Donghu along the way.
During the process, there were also frictions between Qin and Donghu, and small-scale confrontations continued, but the main goal was always to pursue the Xiongnu.
By October 8, another team of Huns arrived to meet them.
At this time, the Xiongnu went south to prepare for the invasion of the 80,000 elite troops, but only a little over 30,000 were left, suffering heavy losses.
Especially the horses suffered more losses than the people, and their muscles and bones were damaged.
After that, the remnants of the Xiongnu troops retreated, and when Meng Wu led his army back, they fought several times with Donghu.
However, neither side had a great victory, so they each retreated.
It's a pity that it's already October.
The cold wind howled on the grassland, and the Yuezhi troops attacking the Xiongnu capital were blocked on the outside and quickly chose to retreat, posing little threat to the Xiongnu.
Otherwise, the Xiongnu losses would be even heavier.
Looking back, at the coast of the South China Sea, Mu Qingkong and others rushed over, met with Yu Gui, Baiyao and others, and launched a series of arrangements.
