Yulin Fort is the first station heading west from Qincheng. It is less than a day's journey from Qincheng, the capital of Qin Dynasty.

When dusk was getting dark, a group of people came from the west, and after presenting documents issued by the Qin Dynasty, they successfully settled here.

At this time, in a room, a beautiful woman in mink fur rubbed her husband's shoulders and said:

"Husband, we have been on this journey all the way. We have been traveling through mountains and rivers for two months since we entered the Yumen Pass at the beginning of the month. It is already the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. We finally arrived at Yulin Fort and are approaching Qincheng. It can be said that it has been a hard and dusty journey.

Already."

"Yes", his tall and powerful husband replied briefly:

"This time I went to Beijing to seek peace and met with Emperor Qin Zheng'an of the Qin Dynasty. After signing the peace treaty, let's stay in Qincheng for some rest. It just so happens that we can personally experience what the Spring Festival of the Central Plains people is like. Do you agree?"

"You know me, so of course I have no objection to staying here to celebrate the festival." The beautiful woman said with a smile: "You have been tired from traveling and traveling along the way, so just sit back and I will rub your shoulders to relieve your fatigue, and then talk to you.

.”

"Okay, you tell me and I listen."

"Husband, along the way, you have also observed a lot of the folk customs and living habits of Da Qin, and you have seen the various aspects of people's livelihood in Da Qin. Now you have a new understanding of the style of Da Qin. For them,

This piece of land has a different view than before?"

"Well..." The husband pondered for a while, then sighed:

"Hey, although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that the gap in national power is an insurmountable gap after all. We have lost this battle unjustly, and we have to ask for peace this time. According to me

After observation, a rough guess is that if the war continues, the entire Desolate Wolf will fall apart in less than a year at most, but Daqin can still hold on for at least five years. This is only considering that both sides only consume their existing resources and do not use the Desolate Wolf.

The result of taking into account the situation that the wolf has no land for food, and the Daqin has thousands of hectares of fields. Their culture, customs, water and soil, and even production conditions, etc., are much better than our wild wolves."

"I have talked about this with my husband before, but at that time, my husband always thought that I was talking nonsense, bragging about the Qin Dynasty, trying to enhance other people's ambitions and destroy my own prestige." The beautiful woman covered her mouth and smiled.

"It seems that Mu Jiang's group is indeed right. What Wild Wolf needs to do is to make amends with Da Qin and learn from their strengths." The husband looked a little frustrated and sighed again:

"Eh...I'm afraid I was really wrong before..."

"Husband, don't belittle yourself. You are our great hero. Don't you know?" The beautiful woman rubbed her shoulders with a little more force.

"Madam, please don't harm me. I listened to the advice of the Tunjiang faction, and I was eager for quick success and wanted to be the master of expanding the territory, so I declared war on the Qin Dynasty. Two years have passed, but even the Yumen Pass has not been broken.

If you have not made any merit, how can you be called a 'great hero'?" The husband stroked his frown and shook his head in reply.

"No, no, that's wrong. Husband, you need to think like this. If it weren't for the battle you fought, which would have hurt Da Qin's vitality, they would still treat us as they did before.

How could these bandits and barbarians, who were just robbing things for a trivial reason, look at us squarely, take us wild wolves seriously for the first time, regard us as a force that cannot be underestimated, and agree to our request for peace and the establishment of diplomatic relations?”

"Well... it sounds like you said that..." The husband pondered for a while, thoughtfully.

The beautiful woman spoke again:

"Or in other words, husband, if we don't fight this battle and let Great Qin see our strength, Great Qin will not take us seriously. Whether it is opening up trade or learning culture, they will not agree to it.

This trip eastward has become a pointless move."

She paused and spoke again:

"So, in this battle, my husband has displayed the courage of the Wild Wolf and gained the respect of Great Qin. Isn't this a great hero? After we have reconciled with Great Qin, the problem of Wild Wolf will be truly solved.

It is no longer just a momentary robbery, but a fundamental input of inner knowledge, self-strengthening, and continuous flow. You have made such great achievements for the Wild Wolf, why can't you be called a great hero?"

When the husband heard this, his eyes lit up and his face looked happy:

"Let our tribesmen learn their farming techniques, learn to weave, and even read Chinese books and recognize Chinese characters, then the wild wolves will become more prosperous, and the wild wolf people will no longer have to starve and suffer, and no longer have to compete with evil wolves and wild beasts for food.

After that, blessings will last forever, and the resurgence of the wild wolf will be just around the corner." The husband's face beamed with joy, and then he slapped the table and praised loudly: "It's a good saying to solve the problem from the root rather than superficially.

It really won my heart!"

The woman smiled, holding a book with her left hand, shaking her head and answered:

"This sentence, in the words of the scholars of the Central Plains, is 'it is better to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron than to stop it from boiling'"

"Haha, is this the first Central Plains proverb you have taught me?" The husband finally smiled, then paused, turned to look at his wife affectionately and said slowly:

"Linglong, since you married me fifteen years ago, our husband and wife have gone through countless major events together, but no matter when, you will always think of ways to comfort me and help me. With a wife like you, I, Tuoba Zhizhen,

It can be said that I have no regrets in this life. I only hope that after the peace talks are successful, you and I can return to China and we can stay together until we grow old and never be separated..."

After hearing her husband's praise, the beautiful woman smiled, her face was so bright and beautiful...

The two continued to talk until they took a break late at night...

…

On the second day, in Qincheng, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, under the notice board at the Chengtong Gate of the South City Gate, there were crowds of people, and people stretched their necks to read today's notice.

Every morning, an officer from the Ministry of Rites will come here to post today's announcement, so that the people of the capital can understand real-time major events, national affairs and people's livelihood.

"Hey, joy is falling from the sky, hahahaha." A Confucian scholar twirled his beard and smiled.

Most of the others were illiterate and quickly asked for advice:

"Mr. Kong, what a great thing it is. Tell us quickly. Don't just leave it alone and have fun."

"Don't panic. Don't panic." The Confucian scholar who was called Mr. Kong straightened his clothes, coughed slightly, and then said loudly:

"The notice states that the Wild Wolf has been at war with our country, the Qin Dynasty, for two years. However, the small barbarian country could no longer support it. The leader of the Wild Wolf, Tuo Bazhi, personally went to Beijing to plead guilty and seek peace from the Qin Dynasty. Now not only will the wars on our borders be stopped,

Moreover, to strengthen our country's power and promote our country's prestige, even the arrogant Wolf King came to the court in person, hahaha, God bless the Qin Dynasty, God bless our Qin Dynasty..."

"This Wild Wolf King Tuoba Zhi is sincere, and he is even more sincere when he comes to Beijing in person. It seems that the success of this peace negotiation should be very high, and our Daqin will not have to fight anymore in the next few years." Someone in the crowd answered.

Mouth.

Someone immediately echoed:

"Yes, if the Desolate Werewolves really negotiate peace with our Great Qin, and then the two countries can trade with each other, they can have our food and cloth, and we can also taste their game outside the customs, right? Haha, that's a good thing.

It’s a really good thing.”

"You can pull me down, Old Sun, can I still not know you? After the two countries have repaired, what you want most is to see the beauty of the wild wolf woman, and get one to take home as your sidekick, hahahaha...

"A naughty person in the crowd joked. "Pang Jiaer" is a slang term in Beijing, which means little wife.

"Wow!" The crowd burst into laughter. For a while, the whole Qincheng was talking about the Wolf Lord entering the capital to seek peace. There were discussions everywhere...
