Reborn Daqin, I am the emperor

"Oh, if that's the case, then report to your emperor again. I am very satisfied with the gift he sent this time."

"Oh, especially the equipment of the [-] troops, I kept it."

"And the supplies sent by this huge team, plus the gifts from your Emperor Daqin, I have also accepted them all. Please also mention me to thank your Majesty the Emperor!"

Seeing this, Mao Dun sneered again.

These words are no longer as simple as deterring, but an upright grab.

It is true that Yingshou gave the Xiongnu 300 million shi of grain, but the supplies of the [-] army, as well as the silk, tea, and other things sent by the businessmen, were for sale.

Although Ying Shou knew very well that when these things arrived in the territory of the Xiongnu, whether to sell them or give them to the Xiongnu all depended on Mao Dun's opinion.

However, although Maodun's approach now echoes Ying Shou's ideas, in the eyes of others, it is a hard grab.

"Shan Yu, you are the ruler of a country, and the words come from your mouth everywhere, and the foreign envoy wants to ask, what do you mean?"

Zhang Qian frowned. As an envoy, leading so many people to the Huns this time, he represented the interests of the Great Qin and the interests of the people of the Great Qin.

So many materials, silk, etc., are the property of all the businessmen below. How can the Xiongnu simply deduct them?

"Oh, what is the meaning of Ambassador Qin's words? Could it be that these things were not gifted by your emperor?"

"Or is it that your emperor is going to go back on his word and wants to get back what I have delivered to me? Isn't this a bit too shameless?"

Mao Dun sneered, looking at Zhang Qian with disdain.

Before, Mao Dun was afraid of provoking Da Qin, but now, he doesn't take Da Qin seriously.

Before, he still had a strong enemy, Donghu, but now, the strong enemy is gone, and he only has one mission.This task is to destroy Qin.

Don't say that Donghu will also help, even if Donghu doesn't help, as long as he doesn't make trouble, he won't take Qin Guo seriously.

"you……"

Zhang Qian's eyes were fixed, and an inexplicable anger gushed out.

"Hehe, Shanyu is right, Mr. Zhang, you may not know that when His Majesty personally summoned this general, he once explained to this general that if the Xiongnu Shanyu likes these things, I, Daqin, will give them to them. Anyway, my Daqin lacks something, but I am so poor that only food and supplies are left."

"If Xiongnu Chanyu is willing, not to mention just a few things here, even if you give it ten times, a hundred times, His Majesty the Emperor will not blink an eye, and just give it to Xiongnu Shanyu!"

Before Zhang Qian could finish his words, Tu Sui suddenly opened his mouth and said with a smile.

Zhang Qian's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, he didn't understand what Tu Sui meant.

The emperor must have made preparations long ago. From the day this batch of supplies was brought to the Huns, the emperor had already made preparations to send these things to the Huns.

After all, compared with these equipment and materials, the emperor valued more the people who were sent to the Huns this time.

You must know that establishing diplomatic relations with the Xiongnu is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger. If you don't have any precautions or don't know how to let go, you will only end up with even heavier losses.

When the emperor provoked the Xiongnu, he had already calculated all kinds of losses. Now this mere loss is really nothing in the emperor's calculations.

"His Majesty the Emperor is wise and powerful, so generous, Zhang Qian admires His Majesty the Emperor's broad mind."

"Your Majesty is right, since my Great Qin wants to establish diplomatic relations with the Xiongnu and be worthy of brotherhood, I have to afford it and let it go!"

Thinking about it, Zhang Qian cupped his hands to the sky, with a look of respect on his face, then bowed to Mao Dun and said, "Shan Yu, I don't know what else Shan Yu wants, you might as well write it down, and when Zhang Qian goes back, he will tell me, Da Qin, one by one. Your Majesty, how about asking His Majesty to bestow upon Shanyu?"

When he opened his mouth, he said one sentence on the left and one sentence on the right. Although he behaved respectfully, the implication was that the king rewarded his subjects.

As for the meaning of his words, Mo Dun could naturally hear it.

Mao Dun really didn't expect that this Qin countryman is really generous, and his heart is big enough.

At this time, he can still be so generous.

He originally wanted to provoke the two people in front of him, and then staged a killing that should be killed, a fight that should be fought, and after finishing, he would send these people back to Daqin, blood for blood, tooth for tooth.

But the reactions of Zhang Qian and Tu Sui made him feel powerless.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with your hand, even if someone's words are sarcasm, they haven't torn their faces after all.

It is said that the Huns are cruel and unreasonable, but as a king, sometimes, he still has to worry about face.

The Zhang Qian and Tu Sui in front of him were not like the envoys Torsai and Mo Sha he sent out, and they still made him unable to make a move.

"Yes, since that's the case, then I won't sign the covenant sent by your emperor."

"Tell your emperor, I want one more thing. In fact, this thing is big or small. It will cost half of your Qin country. Please also write this item into the covenant. At that time, I will sign again."

"After all, the Xiongnu Empire is quite generous when I am going to Qin as an envoy this time, and I have ceded the land to show my sincerity!"

Mao Dun changed the subject, and when he spoke, it was no longer a salary increase, but it was equivalent to directly launching a war letter.

Zhang Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Tu Sui clasped his hands and said, "Okay, my Daqin likes brothers who dare to speak like this the most. , I, Daqin, will be very embarrassed."

"Chan Yu, Tu Sui believes that after reporting this to His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor will readily accept it."

"At that time, Tu Sui will stare outside the Great Wall and lead an army of 20 troops with us, Marshal Wei Liaozi, to meet us from ten miles away. We welcome the country of our Great Qin Brothers to enter the Great Wall!"

As he said that, Tu Sui said again: "I don't know if there is anything Shan Yuke needs to explain? If not, this general will serve the envoys of Daqin first, and escort my people of Daqin away."

"After all, it is better to report such a major matter to my Majesty the Great Qin Emperor as soon as possible, so as not to delay Shanyu's entry into the Great Wall, how about it?"

Mao Dun frowned, he couldn't figure it out, this guy is also a warrior after all, and his personality is also quite irritable, why today, facing his repeated provocations, even challenges Can you be so calm?

"Go!"

Feeling helpless, Mao Dun couldn't find any reason to take revenge, so he could only wave his hands and let Tu Sui and Zhang Qian lead the crowd away.

Chapter 550 Difficult journey

"Go, let's go!"

Outside the city of the Huns, the army withdrew and stationed. The escort army commanded by Tu Sui and Zhang Qian, as well as tens of thousands of people, had evacuated together and returned to Daqin.

When they came, the chariots and horses were fully loaded and mighty.

After death, those people were still there. However, the supplies were gone, the money was gone, and even the horses and vehicles were gone.

Everyone, clean and innocent, was expelled from the country like a bereaved dog.

The group of people gradually moved away, and gradually, the city of the Huns could no longer be seen.

In all directions, looking up and looking around, there are grasslands.

"Shame, great shame!"

At this time, Zhang Qian finally couldn't bear it, and two lines of tears fell.

As an envoy of Great Qin, he represents the dignity of Great Qin, the emperor of Great Qin, and everyone in Great Qin.

Now, to be chased away like a bereaved dog in such a panic is really a great shame.

Especially just now, if it wasn't for the tens of thousands of people, how could he let the Xiongnu Shanyu devour the things of Daqin so unreasonably?

It's not that he lacks backbone, but that he has too many worries.

"Your Majesty Zhang, don't be angry. Your Majesty has expected the situation today. Your Majesty said that nothing is important when you go to the Huns this time. The important thing is to save everyone's lives!"

"Master Zhang, don't worry, if you can return to Qin, His Majesty will definitely demand it back from the Huns a thousand times for today's humiliation!"

Tu Sui also looked gloomy, but he still spoke comfortingly.

Today, for him, it is also a great shame and humiliation, but the emperor specially ordered him before his departure that his mission is nothing else but to protect everyone from harm.

Therefore, whether it was humiliation, bullying, or losing everything, he didn't care. He only had one task, and he did his best to keep these people back to Daqin.

"Zhang Qian knows the general's embarrassment, and also knows that the general's heart is actually more angry than Zhang Qian's."

"Today, it was Zhang Qian and the others who dragged the general down, otherwise with the general's ability, he would have died with that Hun Shanyu forever."

"Now, we have left, but what follows is a long road with endless grasslands and endless deserts."

"We have neither food nor any chariots and horses. With so many people starving, it may be difficult for us to enter the Great Wall!"

Zhang Qian sighed, his face full of sadness.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge. This general has already sent people to the Great Wall to inform the Generalissimo. Presumably soon, the Generalissimo will find a way to escort me."

"What we have to do now is to conserve our energy as much as possible, and don't worry too much. We should trust the Grand Marshal and His Majesty the Emperor!"

Tu Sui smiled and comforted him.

As a general, he is very aware of the importance of morale, so at this time, he must stand up and stand up for everything.

Although Zhang Qian also knew this truth, but in the end, Zhang Qian was a civil servant, how could he allow a civil servant to withstand the pressure as a general here?

"It's easier said than done. Please ask the general to restrain everyone more. Along the way, if it's really impossible, you can eat anything, but you must not touch anything belonging to the Huns. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the pass!"

Zhang Qian nodded, but couldn't help sighing, reminding him.

This journey back to Qin is destined to be full of difficulties.

Everyone has no money and no food.

Even if the people sent by Tu Sui can reach the Great Wall as quickly as possible, it will take at least ten days.

After all, without horses to travel, this journey is not easy.

In this way, even if the Great Wall sends people to welcome them, and there are many difficulties, it will take almost a month at least.

With so many people, can they really survive for so long without food and drink?

Worry is nothing but worry, but no matter how sad or bitter, returning to Daqin is the most important thing. After all, this part of the road still has to go.

Everyone moved forward, and time passed by little by little.

In order to conserve energy, Tu Sui ordered everyone to slow down.

Although the speed has slowed down, the same strength can make people go farther and consume less.

That night, when everyone walked all the way to Zishi, although the hunger was tolerable, no one could bear it without water.

One by one, after a long day's journey, their mouths are already dry and their lips are full of dead skin.

Seeing everyone panting and exhausted, Tu Sui waved his hand and said, "Everyone, I know that you are very thirsty, hungry, and tired. But remember, no matter how thirsty you are, No matter how hungry or tired you are, you'd better not think about giving up."

"Persevere, you can still return to Daqin, and you can return to your hometown. Today's crimes will be repaid in the future, and Daqin will definitely wait a thousand times for you."

"But if you give up, you will never return to Daqin on this road."

"If you die, His Majesty the Emperor will avenge you, but you are destined not to see that day!"

"Everyone, take a deep breath and walk another ten miles. After an hour, there is a small hill ten miles away."

"There is a small lake under the hill. Go there, have a drink at home, rest for a night, and continue on the road tomorrow. Do you understand?"

After Tu Sui finished speaking, the thousands of soldiers stopped immediately and shouted loudly: "I understand!"

This sound awakened the common people and businessmen, each of them had a look of longing in their eyes, which was the longing for the water source.

"go!"

With a big wave of his hand, Tu Sui led the crowd and continued to walk forward.

What he said was not to quench his thirst. On the way here, he had already memorized all the terrain of the Xiongnu in his mind, and he was very clear about what was there.

Ten miles away, there is a grassland hill, and there is a small lake under the hill. It is time for everyone to rest when they arrive there.

Everyone continued on their way, and after an hour, they finally came to the lake. Following Tu Sui's order, all the soldiers stood up immediately, and let the common people and businessmen finish drinking the water before they stepped forward and drank their fill. enough.

At this moment, I have no food on my body, so I can only rely on this water to fill my stomach.

Everyone rested, and the soldiers should take turns to stand guard, but Tu Sui knew that the road ahead would be long and the soldiers could no longer consume their energy, so he gave an order, and all the soldiers rested on the spot, while he walked to the hill and watched. Looking in all directions, like a god of war, standing there quietly.

"General, don't you rest?"

At this time, Zhang Qian's voice came from behind, and Zhang Qian walked to Tu Sui and sat down and said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. What I, Tu Sui, can't use up in this life is my physical strength. Mr. Zhang is different. After all, Mr. Zhang is a civil servant, and his body is weak. You have to rest well, otherwise the road ahead will be difficult!"

Tu Sui smiled slightly, and said solemnly.
