Chapter 38 The Last Wish of the Lord of Shang
The concerns of the Shanyu (the name of the Xiongnu Shanyu before the father of Maodun, Touman Shanyu, was not untrue, so this book used Shanyu instead) are not unreasonable, but very reasonable.
Although in the chaos of the Warring States Period, the seven major wars of national strength were fought, and they killed each other and corpses were piled up like mountains. However, there was never ambiguousness in resisting the invasion of foreign races. No matter how much hatred they had, once the invasion of foreign races and China was in crisis, they would unite and work together to fight against the outside world.
This was best reflected in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Why were the "Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period" praised by future generations? Their greatest achievements were not to "respecte the emperor", but to expel the barbarians. After receiving the emergency from Yan State, Duke Huan of Qi personally led the Qi army to fight against Guzhu State, destroyed these Hu people, collected thousands of miles of land, and finally gave them all to Yan State. Only then did Yan State become a big country from a small vassal state.
Duke Mu of Qin allowed Yu to be his military advisor and destroyed more than 20 countries of the Western Rong people, completely resolving the "Western Rong" that threatened China for thousands of years. This is a great merit. Therefore, later generations respect Duke Mu of Qin very much.
When the time came, civil strife in the Central Plains intensified, and the seven major wars of national strength were even more fierce. However, in the face of the invasion of foreign races, the most powerful proof was that when King Wuling of Zhao fought against the Huns, King Zhao of Qin ordered not only to suspend the upcoming military operations against Zhao, but also ordered the Qin army stationed in Jiuyuan to prepare for reinforcements. If King Wuling of Zhao was defeated, the Qin army would immediately join the war.
In addition, King Zhao of Qin ordered the Qin army stationed in Jiuyuan that if the Zhao army needed food and grass, the Qin army would also provide it.
King Wuling of Zhao was very arrogant and arrogant. He politely declined the support of Qin. With the power of Zhao, he defeated the Xiongnu in the Hetao land, exerted the prestige of China and expanded the ambition of China.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why he later dressed up as an envoy of Zhao and entered Qin to see Qin and King Zhao of Qin let him go.
Although King Wuling of Zhao was a man with a broad mind, he had many strange things. He dressed up as an envoy of Zhao and entered Qin as one of them. He met King Zhao of Qin. King Zhao of Qin did not arouse suspicion at that time, but only praised the envoy of Zhao and was extraordinary in power. Later, King Zhao of Qin became suspicious and ordered people to inquire. He realized that King Wuling of Zhao had entered Qin, which scared King Zhao of Qin in a cold sweat.
At this time, King Wuling of Zhao had already left Xianyang. If King Zhao sent someone to chase him, he might be able to catch up. King Zhao of Qin did not send anyone to chase him. Perhaps King Zhao of Qin admired King Wuling of Zhao and had no plans to deal with him.
Shanyu was also a smart person. He expected to calculate very accurately. After the Changping War, King Zhao of Qin really tried his best to attack Zhao and destroy Zhao. For this reason, he almost killed Bai Qi. If Qin Yiren had not saved him from it.
After the Battle of Zhongmu, Qin State won a great victory and beheaded 700,000. Shandong was unable to resist the Qin army's attack, so Qin State would not do anything to advance eastward. If the Huns came from the north again when the Qin army advanced eastward, it would be impossible for King Zhao of Qin to attack the Huns northward.
Because after the Qin army advanced eastward, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. It was not easy to turn around and head northward? Even if King Zhao of Qin decisively gave up advancing eastward and ordered the Qin army to go north. Hundreds of thousands of troops head northward, what a complicated drama? When the Qin army arrived, Hetao had long been occupied by the Huns.
Shanyu's plan was very impressive.
"Long live Utra!" The Hun ministers cheered loudly.
"Dare to ask the Great Shanyu, when will the Great Huns attack?" Some ministers were impatient.
"It's almost done. This Shanyu predicts that it will be soon. It can be as long as a year or a half, and as long as three or five years." Shanyu was full of confidence, and the corners of his mouth cracked, and he sneered: "After the Battle of Changping, the elite of Zhao State were completely lost. Ying Ji will definitely pounce on him like a hungry wolf meeting a dead lamb."
"Haha!" The ministers burst into laughter, and the laughter was loud, almost lifting the tent away.
"Under the sun and the moon, above the desert, the ten thousand kings, the Great Khan of the Huns, and the Central Plains urgently reported." At this moment, a personal guard rushed in like flying.
"Say, what's the matter?" Shanyu's eyes rolled, his eyes burst into flames, staring at the personal guard.
"After the Changping War, Qin advanced eastward, captured Handan, and destroyed Zhao. In the Battle of Zhongmu, he beheaded 700,000 people." The personal guard hurriedly reported.
"What? Beheading 700,000?"
"Oh my God! The tiger and wolf Qin people are so good at fighting!"
The Hun ministers were furious and looked frightened.
Seven hundred thousand, this is a huge number, which is intimidating. Even the barbarians like the Huns were frightened and uneasy.
"..." Shanyu opened his mouth for a long time, but he didn't say anything, and he was also shocked.
For a moment, the entire tent was silent and the needle could be heard.
"Haha!" After a while, the Shanyu finally reacted, and praised the high-fives, his face full of red light, and his smile was very happy: "The opportunity that the Shanyu had been waiting for finally appeared! In the next year, Ying Ji, the old man, will definitely send troops to advance eastward, wipe out the nations, and unify the Central Plains. As long as his army moves, the opportunity for the Great Huns will come."
"Haha!" The ministers were also happy, and they all laughed wildly, shaking the sky.
"The order: mobilize all the troops immediately and will be held in Longcheng in March next year. Well, there is no need to wait until the May 5th to worship ancestors, and send troops in advance." Shanyu immediately ordered.
According to the customs of the Huns, the fifth day of the fifth month is the day for ancestor worship. On this day, the Huns will rush to Longcheng to worship. However, this opportunity was too rare and was a good opportunity that the Huns had been waiting for for so many years. They should not be missed. The Shanyu immediately decided to take action in advance.
"Utra!" Long live the ministers.
"I will send an order to Xiu Tu, Hunxie, Loulan, Loufan, and Lin Hu to come and meet. If you dare to say something about it, this Shanyu will definitely destroy them." Shanyu ordered again.
Soon, the Huns' flying cavalry came out everywhere and spread the commands of the Shanyu throughout the desert.

Xianyang, Prime Minister's Mansion.
Fan Sui knelt on a short table, handling political affairs, with a focus. He handled government affairs very quickly. He unfolded a bundle of bamboo slips, glanced at them, asked someone to give instructions, or just gave instructions on the bamboo slips. After a while, he dealt with a lot of them.
"Prime Minister, the Young Master Yi is here." At this moment, an official quickly came in to report.
"Young Master Yi Ren? Please come in." Fan Sui put the bamboo slips in his hand, stood up, and prepared to welcome Qin Yi Ren.
In Qin, there is no red tape, so don’t waste time without wasting it. If you can save it like this, you can save it. However, Qin Yiren is different, and he made Fan Suida admire him from the bottom of his heart.
Not to mention anything else, just Qin Yiren's strategy of "coming far and near to attack" and making it more perfect is enough to make Fan Sui admire Qin Yiren very much. Naturally, he wanted to welcome Qin Yiren himself.
As soon as he reached the door, he saw Qin Yiren coming quickly and politely towards Fan Sui and said, "Yiren has met the Prime Minister."
"Fan Sui has seen the young master." Fan Sui hurriedly returned the salute to Qin Yiren and said with a smile: "Young Master, please come in."
"Prime Minister, please." Qin Yiren turned sideways and invited him.
The two of them entered together. Qin Yiren was surprised when he saw that Fan Sui was very simple in handling the Public Affairs Office. A short case that had grown up was full of bamboo slips. Behind the short case was a short table.
The short tables and tables are very old and worn in many places. You can tell that they are old objects at a glance.
In addition, there are some shorter ones, very ordinary ones, and there are many wears and wears, which should be the ones that the deliberate officials sit on.
In a corner of the house, some ordinary teacups were placed, which should be used for officials to drink tea. Fan Sui would encounter major events from time to time and would call a group of officials to discuss. This place and tea naturally need to be prepared.
Qin Yiren entered Pingyuanjun's mansion many times, with carved beams and painted buildings, magnificent and luxurious. Compared with Pingyuanjun's mansion, Fan Sui's Prime Minister's Mansion can only be described as "shrimp". There is no comparison.
"Young Master must be surprised, right?" Fan Sui saw Qin Yiren's expression and smiled: "All people from Shandong who have been here are extremely surprised. Some even joked about the shabby Qin and did not know how to enjoy it. But they didn't know that the strength of Qin is in this way."
"What the Prime Minister said is very true." Qin Yiren agreed with this and said: "The luxury of Shandong has become a trend, and only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun, but not the sufferings of the people. However, the Qin Dynasty does not advocate luxury, and simplicity has become a trend. If you use manpower, material resources and financial resources to seize it, how can you not fight the Qin in Shandong to talk about it?"
"Young Master is very knowledgeable, and Fan Sui also thinks so." Fan Sui smiled and said, "Young Master, please sit down."
Qin Yiren took his seat, Fan Sui poured a cup of hot tea, put it in front of Qin Yiren, his face turned solemn, and he went straight to the topic, saying, "Young Master is a wise man. You should know the intention of the Lord to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I won't say much."
King Zhao of Qin sent Qin Yiren to the prime minister to assist Fan Sui in handling government affairs. In fact, he wanted to make Qin Yiren familiar with Qin State's government affairs. This was a painstaking effort. With Fan Sui's talent, he would not misunderstand.
Of course, Qin Yiren also understood and nodded slightly.
Fan Sui took an old box, opened it, took out a bundle of bamboo slips from it, and placed it on a short table.
Qin Yiren saw that the bundle of bamboo slips was very old, very smooth and worn, and I don’t know how long it has been.
"Young Master has a good opinion." Fan Sui saw it, nodded slightly, praised, and said, "This is a handwritten book by Shang Jun."
"What? Shang Jun's handwritten letter?" Qin Yiren was surprised, his eyes widened, and his voice was a little high.
"Haha." Fan Sui saw it and couldn't help but smile and said, "I heard that this was a handwritten book by Shang Jun, and I was surprised. Shang Jun's talent in heaven and earth was used to reform the Qin State. Qin State turned from weak to strong, and became a first-class Warring States State, and looked at the world with great honor. What a blessing it would be to be able to see Shang Jun's handwritten book by Shang."
Speaking of this, Fan Sui picked up the bamboo slips.
Qin Yiren hurriedly reached out to pick him up, and he wanted to have a look.
Shang Jun is a legendary figure. Who doesn’t want to read his handwritten book?
However, Fan Sui shrank back and did not hand it to Qin Yiren, but smiled and said, "Young Master, can you tell that this is Shang Jun's last wish."
"Mr. Shang's last wish?" Qin Yiren was surprised again, and his eyes almost fell to the ground.
With Fan Sui's status and status, he would never tell lies. Qin Yiren hurriedly asked, "What is Shang Jun's last wish?"
