"Incompetent bungler!"

"How dare you make your own claim without telling me!"

"If you can let things go like this, how can the Xiongnu have rules!"

Then he yelled "Come on!".

The subordinates hurried forward and knelt down.

However, Mao Dun Shanyu thought for a while, finally endured the tone, gritted his teeth and said:

"Go down!"

Zuo Xianwang Ji Congee asked suspiciously:

"Chan Yu, King You Xian made such a big mistake, why should he spare him?"

Mao Dun Shanyu sighed and replied:

"Although King Youxian made a big mistake, he still holds a heavy army to guard the west side."

"Keeping him to a dead end and rebelling at this time... will be a big deal."

It was only then that Ji Porridge understood Mao Dun's concerns, and at the same time, he also knew that although he was Shan Yu, many things could not be done as he wanted.

For example, now, if King Youxian should be punished, what crime should he commit?

A crime that is neither serious nor serious has no effect on King Youxian at all, but a crime that is too serious will force him to rebel.

It would be fine if the two armies were together at ordinary times, and Maodun Shanyu's army could hold down Youxian King's army, so Youxian King had no choice but to obey.

But now, King Youxian is far away in the Western Regions, while Maodun's army is restrained by the main force of the Qin army in Yinshan. If you don't pay attention, the whole army will be wiped out.

In fact, it was not Xunyun's defeat, or even Xunyun's disobedience to make his own claims, that shocked Maodun even more, or it could be said to be scruples.

The defeat should be said to have been expected by Mao Dun. After all, Xun Xun was facing Shen Bing. Even Mao Dun Shanyu himself had suffered several losses under his hands. How could Xun Xun be his opponent?

Although Xun Xun's disobedience to orders and self-assertion was unexpected by Mao Dun, it is understandable from Xun Xun's point of view... The military has an absolute advantage, and few people can stand this temptation.

Mao Dun's worries came more from the fact that the [-] Huns in Geyuna surrendered to the Qin army.

This has never happened before.

The two armies of the Huns and the Central Plains have always been in the same situation and hated each other deeply. The captives captured by each other were either demoted to slaves and tortured to death or left alive.

Under this "hidden rule", neither the Central Plains nor the Huns need to worry about the issue of "surrender".

Because we all know that surrender will not have any good results.

But now, the Xiongnu have set a precedent for surrender, and one vote is [-], and the one who took the lead in surrender was a valued and promoted warrior... Ge Yu was appointed by Modun to become the head of the ten thousand.

It would be fine if the Qin army cut off all these surrendered soldiers, but it is said that instead of beheading, they gave them preferential treatment.

This will have a big impact...

In the future, when the Xiongnu fought against the Qin army, they would think like this:

It doesn't matter if you can't win, if it's a big deal, you will surrender, and you can still find a way to survive with Qin Jun.

As a result, the soldiers of the Huns no longer have the will to win, let alone the belief that they must die.

This is also one of the reasons why Maodun Shanyu did not dare to commit crimes against Xunyun... What if Xunyun was in a hurry and he directly led his troops to surrender to the Qin army?

Therefore, Mao Dun Shanyu decided to deal with the matter weakly, that is, to push all the blame on Ge Yu to excuse Xun Yun.

So not only did he not blame Xun Xun, but instead comforted Xun Xun and even gave him some gifts.

If there was any punishment, it would be for Ling Xunyun to arrest Ge Yu's relatives for questioning.

But Xun Xun is not a fool, he knows that Mao Dun Shanyu didn't blame himself for his uncharacteristic behavior, but in fact he has some fears in his heart, which means he doesn't regard him as one of his own.

So when he received the gift, he just sighed and didn't say anything, but ransacked Ge Yu's house according to Mao Dun Shanyu's order.

Shen Bing didn't know what happened to the Huns.

The first thing he has to do is to settle down the Huns' troops.

Shen Bing knew that the better off these Huns surrendered, the greater the blow to the Huns.

This is not to say how many people will be killed by the Huns, but it will have an unparalleled impact on morale.

Therefore, Shen Bing kept his promise. When Ge Yu led his troops to Jiaohe, Shen Bing returned all the weapons to the surrendering army.

In addition, the fortifications built by the Qin army and the tens of thousands of cattle and sheep left in Jiaohe were handed over to the Jiang army.

With these fortified cities, cattle and sheep, water and grass in the river, and weapons in hand, the Xiongnu's descending army can almost be said to be a self-contained line to form a separate force.

Of course, both Shen Bing and Ge Yu knew that the Xiongnu's surrender was still too early for the "separatist forces".

The first is that there are no war horses.

The second is the inability to smelt iron to make equipment.

Once again, the arrows cannot be replenished.

Under these three points, the Xiongnu surrendered army was actually very fragile and could not stop any attack of the Qin army.

In other words, the weapons in the hands of the Xiongnu descended troops are actually just to increase some sense of security.

But what the Huns surrendered most needed was a sense of security.

So Ge Yu knew that it was enough to have these, at least they didn't have to worry about survival... If the Qin army wanted to kill them, there was no need to return the weapons to them and give the city to the cattle and sheep.

The Qin army stationed in Gushi City without hesitation.

On the one hand, this is because there are very few soldiers and civilians left in Dao Minjun's family... Before, thousands of people could be gathered together, but after being tossed by Dao Minjun in the process of rushing to restore the country and return to the aunt, only the survivors were left. There are more than five hundred poor people, and most of them are wounded, and they have already lost their combat effectiveness.

If the Qin army doesn't stay in the aunt, the aunt will become an empty city and can't get back to life anyway.

On the other hand, Xiang Shanjun has great trust in Shen Bing, not only Xiang Shanjun, but also the soldiers and civilians who followed him.

Needless to say the reason for this is because Shen Bing successfully snatched them back from the Huns.

Even Xiang Shanjun and Dao Minjun are alienated.

Because Mr. Xiang Shan thought that his aunt would be killed by the Huns because of Mr. Daomin... This idea is actually correct, and it was Mr. Daomin who harmed them.

Shen Bing was also happy that Xiang Shanjun thought so, so he instead supported Xiang Shanjun and asked him to summon the old division of Gushi to serve the Qin army.

Of course, what Shen Bing said was not "serving the Qin army", but "jointly resisting the Huns".

Sometimes it is a good thing to have the Huns as an enemy: with this enemy and this pressure, Shen Bing can unite the countries of the Western Regions under his tent.

At this moment, the news that Ge Yu was executed by the whole family reached Shen Bing's ears.

Shen Bing thought to himself that it was just the right time, and then sent someone to invite Ge Yu to come.

Chapter 441 Hope

On the Jiaohe side, after Ge Yu received Shen Bing's invitation, all his subordinates persuaded Ge Yu to find an excuse not to accept the invitation.

The reason is very simple. His subordinates all believed that Shen Bing had bad intentions and wanted to trick Geyu into Gushi to put him under house arrest or kill him so that the Huns would have no leader.

But Ge Yu replied:

"If Shen Bing wanted to do this, he could have done it when my aunt and I surrendered. Why bother?"

Without hesitation, he sat in the carriage sent by Shen Bing alone.

In fact, this is also Shen Bing's desire to try Ge Yu's courage.

Before, Shen Bing knew that Ge Yu was the one who caught the Qin army by surprise in the battle of Jiaohe, and he also knew that it was Ge Yu who planned to attract the Qin army to attack in Gushi for Xunyun's advice.

Although this strategy was seen through by Shen Bing, such a brave and resourceful person among the Huns is rare. Now that they have surrendered, Shen Bing will naturally make good use of it.

In fact, it is not difficult to use Ge Yu, Shen Bing just needs to wait for the opportunity.

Because Shen Bing knew that Maodun Shanyu would definitely "express" the surrender of the [-] Huns including Ge Yu... Otherwise, wouldn't the Huns generals be able to surrender to the Qin army with confidence in the future?How can the Huns stabilize the morale of the army!

Sure enough, the "representation" was coming soon.

When Ge Yu entered the tent, Shen Bing motioned Ge Yu to sit down, and then said to Ge Yu:

"There is something, Shen Bing hopes that Mr. Wan will not be overly sad..."

Ge Yu was taken aback for a moment, then bit his teeth, and said palely:

"But my family?"

Shen Bing nodded.

Ge Yu sighed and said:

"Ge Yu thought of it the moment he surrendered."

"I hope Shan Yu won't embarrass the family members of other subordinates."

Shen Bing was somewhat surprised by Ge Yu's reaction.

But thinking about it, I feel that this is also expected, and it is not surprising that Ge Yu, as a head of ten thousand, would think of this.

Shen Bing replied:

"I've never heard of the others..."

Ge Yuchao Shen Bing cupped his hands and said:

"That's very good. If the general has no other orders, this subordinate will leave now!"

Seeing Ge Yu's attitude, Jiang couldn't help being furious, and scolded:

"You barbarian is so ignorant of good and bad, the general is so rude to persuade you."

"My Daqin still owes you to wait?"

Ge Yu only smiled miserably, and replied:

"The general gave us a life-saving grace, and I should be the one who owes Da Qin."

"But these grievances and grievances are nothing more than interests."

"What does the general think?"

Ge Yu spoke directly, and it can be said that he understood clearly.

For example, how can Shen Bing really care about the life and death of Geyu's family, but he just hopes that Geyu can completely surrender to the Qin army and become an enemy of the Huns.

Seeing what Ge Yu said, Shen Bing stopped being hypocritical and replied:

"What Master Wan said is true, it's just the word 'benefit'."

"However, Mr. Wan, have you ever thought about where your 'interests' will be in the future?"

Ge Yu replied:

"If the general wants Ge Yu to fight for Qin, it may not be difficult."

"But it's impossible for those cadres to be willing to fight for Qin..."

"If the general thinks so, the subordinates are afraid that the general will be disappointed."

Shen Bing understood the meaning of Ge Yu's words.

If it is said that there is no turning back between Geyu and the Xiongnu because his family members were killed, but this is not the case with his subordinates.

Moreover, most of the soldiers who surrendered were "in Cao Ying and their hearts are in Han". At this time, they had to garrison Jiaohe only because they could not escape to save their lives. without a horse, they would have fled to the grasslands.

This is not to say how loyal they are to Modu.

In fact, many of the Huns were tribes that were conquered by the Huns and surrendered, including the Donghu who had just been incorporated into the Huns not long ago, and there were tens of thousands of them.

The reason is that the living habits of the Huns who surrendered their troops are very different from those in the Central Plains and even in the Western Regions, and it is difficult for them to have a sense of identity here.

This is the same as the fact that the Central Plains can fight back and forth and surrender to Qin Muchu, but once it is said that they want to surrender to the Huns, it is more of the same reason as "it is better to be broken than to be whole".

Shen Bing replied disapprovingly:

"Master Wan, I'm afraid it's too early to speak!"

Ge Yu just replied indifferently:

"Ge Yu asked himself that he couldn't do it."

"General, don't have too much hope, unless you can get Shan Yu to kill his family."
