Chapter 120: The Huns' Intelligence
The next day, Wu Huai walked into Yulin County again with a nervous mood.
Last night, he was drinking and chatting. Later, he was a little confused, but Meng Tian in the main position remained unchanged.
Vaguely, Wu Huai remembered that Meng Tian took out a silk cloth, and he signed the text on it in a daze and drew a copy.
When Wu Huai thought about what possible handle would fall, he thumped in his heart.
"Sir, come here so early!"
In front of the county hall, Gan Luo saw Wuhuai who was surfing and greeted him enthusiastically.
"Gan Changshi········"
Wu Huai had bumps on his skin. Yesterday, Gan Luo was very rude to him, and he just didn't openly call him Qin Ties.
"Sir, abiding by Qin's laws and doing business properly is Ganluo misunderstood Mr.!"
After Wuhuai left, Meng Tian and Ganluo discussed how to destroy the intelligence network into the grassland for a long time around Wuhuai's caravan. Wuhuai signed a letter of vote, so Ganluo naturally would not continue to be hostile to Wuhuai.
"The general is waiting for the sir in the inner hall. Come with me!"
In the center of the inner hall of the county government, there is a square desk table, and a wide map is spread out above the desk table. The information of the river, the Great Wall, and the Central Plains countries above are roughly marked on it, but it is blank to the north of the Great Wall.
Meng Tian sat at the table, scanning the blank grassland on the map, frowned.
"See General!"
Wuhuai quickly lowered his head. In this era, the map belongs to the country's important tools and is unaware of ordinary people.
"Sir, you are the staff member of our army now."
"Assistant?" Wu Huai was stunned, "When did I become the general's aide?"
"Haha, sir, I don't remember it. I swear to drink and sing last night, sir, and I signed and stamped it!"
Meng Tian took out a pale yellow silk cloth from his arms. The handwriting on it was clearly audible. At the lower right corner, Wuhuai's name was clearly marked.
Wu Huai rubbed his eyes and looked at it. It was said that Wu Huai would take advantage of the opportunity to go to the grassland to conduct business to inquire about the information of the Huns for the Qin army.
What aide? Isn’t he a spy?
Wu Huai complained in his heart.
"General, I am just a businessman. This time I stood up and guarded Yulin. I am still worried that the caravan will be damaged and I am not good at exploring information..."
It is not easy to be a spy. If his identity is exposed, not only will he lose his life, but he will also lose his business in the northern grasslands. The greater the risk, the higher the profit. Wuhuai is not confused. He has to earn some benefits for the Wu family.
"This is simple, I will arrange someone to help you." Meng Tian greeted Wu Huai and continued, "You don't need to do it too deliberately. You just need to write down the places you have been to and help our army make a map. In particular, the grasslands with abundant water and grass, camps for winter, and the locations of these places need to be mastered!"
It sounds like it is not much different from the caravan's business route. Every time the caravan of the Wu family walks to the grassland, they will sort out the locations of various tribes of the Huns after they come back.
Wu Huai couldn't help but nodded, and as a result, his risk was much smaller.
"Will Qin State use troops against the Huns?"
Wuhuai suddenly asked, he couldn't explain how big the grassland outside the border was. If he wanted to carry out the full development with the Huns, Meng Tian's current military strength would definitely not be able to do it.
"Whether the war starts, there is a calculation for the Great King Temple. I only care about the war in Shangjun. However, the Huns have become plundering, and there will be a war between them and China sooner or later, so it is better to prepare for the future."
The Huns were in the rising period of national power. Meng Tian had not yet become arrogant and had to surrender the Huns with his army. Before Qin wiped out the six kingdoms, there would only be small-scale conflicts between Qin and Huns, and not large-scale wars.
"Since Mr. As an aide to our army, he became a member of the Qin army. In the future, he would have made contributions to the Huns. I would definitely have the name of the gentleman on the book of credit for asking for me to Xianyang."
The world is prosperous and everything is for profit. Wuhuai is not short of money. If Wuhuai wants to serve Wuhuai to do his best, Meng Tian can only move out of the Qin Dynasty's meritorious system and use titles as temptation.
"Will you agree on military merit based on your merits?"
Wu Huai raised his head and looked at Meng Tian’s serious expression, and he was very moved.
"Of course it's a military meritorious title, you are a staff member of the Qin army!"
Patting Wu Huai's shoulder, Meng Tian made a solemn promise.
"Dare not to serve the general!"
Now, Wu Huai had no doubts in his heart.
Military merits are rare, and as a businessman, it is even more rare. After Ying Zheng ascended the throne, during the famine, the Qin people could take grain to pay titles, but the titles they received did not belong to military merits, but were civilians, which could be punished, but could not be an official.
The Qin people worship brave wars. Only titles obtained from military merits can the Qin people regard them as glory. As for civil titles, they are the second choice.
The Wu family donated grain to the government and obtained the title of civilians, but Wu Huai still had thoughts about the title of military merit. The opportunity provided by Meng Tian now does not require the people of the Wu family to go to the battlefield to fight hard, and there is still a chance to obtain the title of military merit, but he still has to try it out.
"With the help of a gentleman, our army will pull off the clothes on the Huns one by one!"
Meng Tian asked Ganluo to take the ink pen, pointing to the blank on the north side of the map, and asked, "With the news that Mr. knows, how is the power of the Huns?"
Wu Huai narrowed his eyes and recalled the Xiongnu tribes he had traveled through in business over the years, and his ideas gradually became clear.
"The Huns mainly had three major forces, including the Shanyu headquarters, the Zuoxian King's unit, the Youxian King's unit, the Zuoxian King's unit, the Zuoxian King's unit was mainly responsible for dealing with the Donghu, and the Youxian King's unit was guarding against the Yuezhi. The Yuezhi people advocated trade and had a weak desire to expand. The Youxian King's pressure was low, and the power was very fast."
Wu Huai paused, sorting out the news spread in the Hun tribe in his mind, and continued, "The land of Hetao has a warm climate and a plump water and grass. The Huns regarded it as a treasure land, but it belonged to the territory of the Youxian King. The confidant Xiu Tu King occupied the most plump grassland. In addition to the Xiu Tu King's tribe, there are also several large and small tribes such as the Tungus Wild Boar Tribe and the Yellow Sheep Tribe, which are spread all over Hetao......"
While sorting out Wuhuai's information, Meng Tian determined the sphere of influence of various Xiongnu tribes in Hetao on the map, and realized the subtleties.
The Xiongnu Khan coveted the Hetao territory.
The Yellow River is bent by nine curves, and only the river is the only one. Hetao alone feeds the population with the highest density of the Huns. Compared with the grasslands north of the river, the grasslands in Hetao do not lack water sources and are not at risk of exhaustion. In winter, there is no need to migrate hard to find a winter nest that is leeing.
The Youxian King was in charge of the Hetao land, with a rapid population and livestock growth, so the Shanyu could not worry.
If the stems are weak and the branches are strong, they will cause problems when placed in any society.
While Meng Tian was analyzing the information of the Huns, King Xiu Tu received a secret letter from the Youxian King.
"After winning a battle, withdraw back to the grassland, otherwise the Shanyu would deal with the Xiutu tribe in the name of cowardice..."
