Fatty's surname was Jin, and he was the third son of the family. He was originally a merchant in the State of Wei. However, unlike ordinary merchants, one of his ancestors had once been to the Western Regions. It was said that he had once been an imperial merchant under a great monarch in the west, and had enjoyed a period of glory. After the death of the monarch, his generals rebelled and divided up the monarch's huge territory. Fatty's ancestors also returned to the Central Plains to avoid the war.
Just like the beginning of all stories, his family had been poor until his generation. After Fatty accidentally flipped through the pictures and logs left by his ancestors in the ancestral home that recorded the folk customs of the Far West, he knew that there was still a vast land in the West. Fatty was not an ordinary person. He decided to go out and make a trip. After selling his ancestral home to raise a sum of money, he headed west alone.
Fatty had been to a place even further than the Western Regions. It was said that it was a country established by a general under the king. It had lasted for a hundred years. The architecture, customs, and language under its rule were completely different from those of China. Five years later, Fatty returned to the Central Plains. In these five years, Fatty had learned the languages of the Western Regions, familiarized himself with the customs of various countries, and understood the topography along the way. After selling the exotic Western specialties, Fatty made a fortune and became a true millionaire. However, he did not stop there. Perhaps it was because of his natural adventurous spirit, Fatty once again organized a caravan and ambitiously prepared for the second expedition.
This time. At first, it had been quite smooth, but in the end, it was snatched away by a group of Hu. Perhaps Fatty's caravan was too big of a target this time and was targeted.
Fortunately, this group of Hu only wanted money and did not harm people. Although Fatty had lost everything, his life was saved.
"How preposterous. You're bullying my head.”Ying Tianyu stood up and said indignantly.
"I think we just met." Fatty Jin muttered. Fatty Jin wondered if there was something wrong with this child who was like a completely different person.
"How many people are there? Where are you from?" Ying Tianyu ignored Fatty and continued asking.
"More than 500 people. They should be a small nomadic tribe nearby.”Fatty said.
"Men, send me 3,000 soldiers from Di Dao. This Young Master really can't stand such lawless things.”Ying Tianyu's actions were a little like he was trying to uphold justice.
"Three…Three thousand!" Fatty was a little shocked.
"Young Master, we can't mobilize Di Dao's garrison without the Tiger Tally!”While Fatty was still in a daze, Zhao Yun quietly moved to Ying Tianyu's side and whispered into his ear.
"I know. Let's scare this fatty first.”Ying Tianyu muttered softly.
Zhao Yun nodded, and her eyes lit up.
"I understand. I'll send someone to mobilize Di Dao's troops.”After saying that, Zhao Yun walked down and gave a few orders to Ying Tianyu's personal guards. Then, she returned to Ying Tianyu'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 Tianyu, the seventh son of the current King of Qin, Ying Zheng.”Zhao Yun 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 Tianyu waved his hand magnanimously and ordered Zhao Yun,"Zilong, take this honored guest down first and entertain him well. 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 Zhao Yun led Fatty Jin down, Ying Tianyu smiled and said,""Fatty Jin is really lucky to have fallen from the sky.”
A day later, Ying Tianyu led over 150 personal guards and set off.
With thirty cavalry leading the way, the one hundred and fifty cavalry followed behind. After two days of searching in the wilderness, Ying Tianyu finally found traces of the Hu.
"Is this the Hu you were talking about?”Ying Tianyu, who was lying in ambush on the hill, asked Fatty Jin beside him. At this moment, besides Fatty Jin, Ying Tianyu 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 Tianyu nodded." The place where the 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 agreed with Ying Tianyu.
"Zilong, how many more days will it take for the main force to arrive?”Ying Tianyu asked Zhao Yun.
"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 Tianyu 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 Tianyu's face was full of smiles as he said to Fatty Jin,"Don't be afraid, look!"
Ying Tianyu ordered his personal guard 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 Tianyu said calmly as if this was an extremely 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 Tianyu 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.
