"Young Master, we can't mobilize Di Dao's garrison without the Tiger Tally!”While Fatty was still in a daze, Li Ergou quietly moved to Ying Ziyi's side and whispered into his ear.
"I know. Let's scare this fatty first.”Ying Ziyi muttered softly.
Li Ergou nodded his head, and his eyes flashed.
"I understand. I'll send someone to mobilize Di Dao's troops.”After saying that, Li Ergou walked down and gave a few instructions to Ying Ziyi's personal guards. Then, he returned to Ying Ziyi's side and stood upright.
"May I know how to address this young master?”Fatty Jin finally remembered to inquire about the child's identity.
"This is Ying Ziyi, the fourteenth son of the current King of Qin, Ying Zheng.”Li Ergou introduced.
"This lowly one failed to recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive me, Young Master.”Fatty Jin's face was filled with the expression of a businessman, and he looked like he was trying to curry favor.
"It's fine, it's fine." Ying Zige waved his hand magnanimously and instructed Li Ergou,"Ergou, bring this honored guest down first and entertain him properly. As for your belongings, after a short rest, I'll send people to keep an eye on the Hu. Once the preparations are complete, I'll retrieve them for you.”
"Thank you, Young Master! Thank you, Young Master!" Fatty Jin thanked him happily.
After Li Ergou led Fatty Jin down the stairs, Ying Zige smiled and said,""Fatty Jin is really lucky to have fallen from the sky.”
A day later, Ying Ziyi led over 150 personal guards and set off.
With thirty cavalry leading the way, the one hundred and fifty cavalry followed closely behind. After searching for two days in the vast wilderness, Ying Ziyi finally found traces of the Hu.
"Is this the Hu you were talking about?”Ying Ziyi, who was lying in ambush on the hill, asked Fatty Jin beside him. At this moment, besides Fatty Jin, Ying Ziyi only had a few personal guards with him. There were hundreds of tents on the grass. There were still a few Hu galloping on horseback.
The other party nodded. Young Master, please take a look. The Hu man in the lead is riding a Ferghana horse that I brought back from the Western Regions. It's worth ten thousand gold. The rest of them were riding good horses that were hard to come by.”
"How did you escape from his hands?”
"At that time, their leader asked me to put down all my belongings. He only left us some food and let us go.”Fatty Jin briefly recounted the situation at that time.
"I understand!" Ying Zige nodded." The place where these Hu are stationed is rich in water and grass. It seemed that they had no intention of leaving this place in the short term.”
"Indeed." Fatty Jin also agreed with Ying Ziyi.
"Ergou, how many more days will it take for the main force to arrive?”Ying Ziyi asked Li Ergou.
"Two more days. Our people have already gone to receive them. Young Master, I've checked. They should be herdsmen under Longxi County.”
"Alright then. We'll take action two nights later.”
Late at night two days later.
The stars in the sky were shining brightly. It was a peaceful night without any wind. The Hu were in their own tents, their loving mothers coaxing their little babies to sleep. The strong fathers had recently made a big business deal and were so happy that they had been partying in the chief's tent for a few days. At night, after drinking and having fun as usual, he fell asleep with the wine barrel woman in his arms. Outside the tent, there were only a few unlucky warriors who were still patrolling. However, they were already relaxed and exhausted.
However, a loud noise interrupted the peaceful night.
"Everyone inside, listen up. You've been surrounded, so put down your weapons and surrender. Don't cut yourself off from the people and Great Qin. You have to believe that Great Qin will give you a chance to turn over a new leaf.”
Ying Ziyi rode on a pony and shouted from outside the tent with a loudspeaker. Beside him, there were only two personal guards and Fatty Jin, who was trembling in fear.
"Duke... Young Master! Don't we have 3,000 people? Why not charge in together and finish off these Hu?”Fatty Jin trembled as he spoke. Even though these Hu people were under Great Qin's rule, they were untamed and did not obey orders. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done such an unprofitable business.
Nonsense, I don't have 3,000 people.
Ying Zige's face was full of smiles as he said to Fatty Jin,"Don't be afraid, look!"
Ying Ziyi ordered the guard beside him to send a signal. In an instant, the surrounding mountains and fields were lit up with torches, and people could vaguely be seen. Fatty Jin roughly estimated that there were three to four thousand people. His heart relaxed slightly and he gained some confidence.
"See? These are your strong backing. Now, the organization has decided to assign you a mission.”
"What?"
"Persuade the Hu inside to surrender!" Ying Zige said calmly, as if this was a simple matter.
"What?!" Fatty Jin shouted loudly. He seemed to have used up all the strength in his body and collapsed to the ground.
"Why?"
"Although the Hu inside have broken the law, we can't deny them a chance to turn over a new leaf. A diplomatic talent like you who is proficient in the Hu language, this young master naturally has to put you in an important position. Do you see the people all over the mountains and plains? They are your strongest backing.”Ying Ziyi said.
"Everyone inside, listen up. You've been surrounded, so put down your weapons and surrender. Don't cut yourself off from the people and Great Qin. You have to believe that Great Qin will give you a chance to turn over a new leaf.”
Listen up, you are surrounded. Put down your weapons and surrender.
Amidst the noisy blaring, Fatty Jin staggered into the Hu camp. For the first time, he felt that studying too well was also a kind of trouble. If there was a next life, he would rather be an ordinary slacker than a top student.
Of course, when Fatty Jin walked into the Hu camp, he put away his timidity. He no longer bent his waist and his legs no longer trembled. Fatty Jin's face was solemn as the Hu attacked him with their swords and spears. His originally small eyes were now filled with life, as if he had been possessed by a martyr. He wasn't afraid of swords or spears, and he advanced step by step. His heroic appearance scared the Hu around him into retreating.
"I am the messenger of Ying Ziyi, the fourteenth son of the King of Qin, Ying Zheng. Tell your leader that I am here to give him a chance to turn over a new leaf!”
Fatty Jin finally saw the leader of this group of Hu. In truth, the noise outside the Mu tent had already woken them up, and then the mountain of torches had already scared them out of their wits.
After getting drunk, the leader still had a headache. Fatty Jin walked in with a sense of justice. Facing the bandits from a few days ago, he no longer looked timid.
"It's you!" When the Hu leader saw Fatty, he bellowed,"Did you bring the Qin soldiers here?"
A few impatient Hu around him wanted to draw their sabers and end this fatty.
"It's easy for Your Majesty to kill me, but can you resolve the current crisis?”Fatty Jin shouted when he saw the blade and axe coming at him.
"Wait!" The Hu leader stopped his subordinates, indicating for Fatty to continue.
"Outside the tent is Ying Ziyi, the fourteenth son of the King of Qin, Ying Zheng. He has brought five thousand men to capture Your Majesty. At this moment, his men had already surrounded the place. Although the soldiers under the king were brave, and the king himself was a rare warrior, even if they could break through this heavy encirclement, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.”
"Continue!" The leader held his head and sat on the throne, his expression uncertain.
"Your Majesty, Young Master Ying Ziyi didn't want to kill them all. Otherwise, he would have already led his troops here. Young Master Ying Ziyi is actually trying to recruit you.”
Seeing that the surrounding atmosphere was no longer as tense as before, Fatty continued to persuade him.
"Why should we believe you!" Someone around questioned.
"Young Master Ying Ziyi is currently building a city at the border of Longxi.”
A few Hu around him spoke to the leader, who nodded and said,"I agree to your request. How do you want us to surrender?"
"Put down all your weapons and walk out of the tent. After the Fourteenth Young Master has confirmed your sincerity, he will naturally treat your clansmen well.”
.....
When Ying Ziyi saw Fatty Jin lead eight hundred Hu men and women into the encirclement of his one hundred and eighty guards armed with bows and crossbows, he thought to himself that this fatty was truly a talent.
